173. Viscount Tuman

"Your Excellency, rest well!"

"Kill!"

Oran didn't pass out again since the beginning of the day.

On the fifth day, his will was better again, and every hour he had to ask Kunsan, Nanding, Titan, and others about their movements.

The answers I got were all good.

"Chop down all of Armand's family and hang ......"

The more Oran's body hurts, the more ruthless he speaks.

The elegance of the aristocracy is only when he is in tune, and now, Oran is so painful that he wants to scold his mother, and he must be "dirty"

"Wouldn't that be too ruthless?"

Now with Oran are Southamp and Tuman, who have not been seriously injured.

In terms of internal affairs, Orlan let Southamp deal with it.

"Isn't it enough to put a few charges on the charges, just say that he embezzled the taxes of the territory and colluded with the Vikings!"

If Armand had helped him block the arrows, he could have killed Hestein right away, and Kunsang wouldn't have been so badly injured.

You can also use a sober will to command the battle situation, what Knut, Hafdan, are all waste, and you can create an unprecedented victory!

All because Armand was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Traitor mistook me!

Unforgivable.

"Turn all his family scrolls into sinners, reward them to Kunsang, and give them their fiefs to Kunsang, and do it."

"Yes."

Shouting out Southamp, Oran looked at Tuman, who was nervous by Oran's look and lowered his head.

"Very well, Tuman, you fucking good and live up to me...... Cough. ”

"Your Excellency, this is just a knight's duty and duty."

Orlan didn't know whether to praise or sarcasm.

"Tuman, I heard Southamp say that many knights were killed in battle, especially the king's wing, you show me the list of casualties of the knights of the eight counties."

Now Ella is also lying in bed, and as the hand of the king, if she can't do things, she will soon be overshadowed by her men.

It's as terrifying as the Viking invasion, and at all times, you have to maintain control of the whole situation.

When Tuman fetched the roster, Orlan looked and saw many people dying on the Yorkshire side, one of whom was one of the things he had agreed to with his new wife, Alyon, on their wedding night. Let a knight who was loyal to Gliese and had hurt her die, Bashas.

Orlan didn't forget, so this time the formation also allowed this person to play, borrowed a knife to kill, and when he saw the name, Oran made him successfully killed.

"Will you write letters? Help me write a letter to ...... in Yorkshire."

"I only know a few words, Your Excellency."

"Then go and learn, writing and swords, for nobles, it is a wonderful world, master both, you will find that the world is so wide."

Oran's meaning is very clear, you are still alive, and you are loyal, and there will be opportunities to reuse you in the future.

With no one around him to ghostwrite, and he didn't want to use the word waiters, he looked at the list and decided to find a few new characters to fill in his casualties.

This time it was so tragic that all his hospital riders were gone, but the long list of deaths on the roster calmed down a little.

The king said no more, and half his life was left, and his mouth was smashed.

The best players should be Katana and Frank, the two themselves do not have too many external injuries, but their main forces in the collar are almost all buried.

Tyrell and John, who were in charge of logistics, took on the reputation of evil ministers and kept amassing their wealth to supply the war.

The lover Adesha did not go into battle to help him stabilize the border with Scotland and accumulate strength.

And a few days ago, he killed all the former county magistrate's family, but unfortunately ran away with a witch Sally.

Thinking of this woman, Orlan suddenly became annoyed.

If the weeds are not removed, maybe in a few years, they will grow into towering trees.

When these thoughts dissipate.

"Tuman, help me call these guys over."

Oran circled the list, and after a while, three young men came to his door, and under the guidance of Tuman, nervously entered the bedside to meet Oran.

"Good job, the war report says that you killed four Vikings or even more each."

"It's all you and Your Majesty who protect us." The four of them spoke in unison.

"I will advise Your Majesty to take stock of the land, too many manors have lost their owners, too many women are deserted in bed and need the comfort of men, I will take it back, the land you hold will increase, your master is dead, in the future, you are all knights, you can use Bemb's eagle banner...... Ahem......"

If he said it longer, Orlan coughed.

"Tuman, give me a sword and a title."

When Tuman, who was standing on the sidelines, heard this, he was happy in his heart, which was a great honor, and finally under the gaze of Oran, Tuman rewarded the three knights.

"Remember, Ben hates traitors the most, even if it's just a fleeting thought, don't have it, or you'll regret being born in this world! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, thank you, Count Tuman. ”

Orlan gritted his teeth and accentuated the last sentence, and now Tuman was undecided.

Viscount!

Oran brought him closer to him with his eyes, and said slowly, "If you like a woman as a wife, tell me that I will make him a member of your family and pick a few pieces of land as your daughter's dowry." ”

Enwei pressed together, and when Tuman finally left, he had a mark on his head.

There are also advantages to such heavy war losses, no, there is a large amount of unclaimed land at your disposal.

In order to prevent the opponent's sneak attack, it is still necessary to continue to recruit troops.

It's not just Orlan who thinks so, Amon too.

After Oran's injuries were less severe, he came to Orlan on orders from King Mercia to find out what to do.

Oran smiled and told him, "Your Excellency, go and tell Ragnar to have his daughter and wife come to me and His Majesty Ella, so that we can sleep enough once and then talk about peace." ”

"I think so, Vikings are all bastards, only war!" Amon added a sentence after speaking, "Ragnar has robbed a lot of beauties and given birth to several beautiful illegitimate daughters, your proposal just now is very good." ”

In the end, the requisition orders issued by Repton were ruthlessly scattered to every corner of the country.

Originally, the Vikings were invaders and the nobles were protectors, but when the war had a high chance of losing, in order to preserve their wealth, the nobles turned to brutality towards their subjects.

Those who can be persuaded by faith, the attitude of the soldiers is better, and those who are unwilling to accept the levy and pay taxes in advance are even directly ......

And under the command of Ragnar, the Vikings, who could not force the attack, began to pull back the offensive line.

Because of the land they controlled, there were riots.

The Mercians are crazy, or rather, the entire Northern Army is crazy.

They frantically mobilized any resources in the land, and collected them as long as they could be used as weapons against the Vikings.

On the sixth day after the battle, the two sides sent envoys again, but this time, the envoys of the Anglo-Saxon nobles only said from afar, "We will use all the skulls of your Vikings to contain dung." ”

After speaking, he walked away.

After the defeat of the Kent invasion, and the heavy setback of the main Viking force this time, many Viking leaders who followed the war proposed that they wanted to be truly peaceful and take all the lands they currently controlled in their hands.

At the very least, get through this cold winter and get your food problems ready.

And on the battlefield, the private soldiers of the Cross Flying Serpent join the battle, which is a dangerous signal.

Ragnar sent someone to ask as soon as possible, and King Γ†thelred also sent someone to ask.

Alfred, the initiator, shirked his knights from rebellion and disobeyed his orders, but he himself was extremely loyal to his brother's orders.

England in December, under the mutual suspicion of various forces, kept the peace until the beginning of the new year.

In January 866, the people on the island were not at all excited.

All the food was either taken by the nobles, said to be offered to God and the king, or stolen by the Vikings.

The difference between the two is that the Vikings, in order to begin to ease their hatred, have softened their methods, while the Anglo-Saxon nobles are extremely rude.

They sent various vanguard squads to destroy water sources, burn camp tents, and the obedient people who were held hostage by the Vikings and did not resist were also regarded as traitors.

Human life is becoming less and less valuable.

The price of a hunting dog on the market is even much more than that of a boy.

……

In the winter of January, sail through the high latitudes of the North Sea, even if you wrap your body in layer after layer.

Each layer is stuffed with fur, but the sea breeze can still penetrate the heavy fur and burrow into your heart.

Three Viking dragon ships had departed from Central England ten days earlier.

The goal of this fleet is to go to the Dublin area of Ireland to find Yin Val the Boneless.

The invasion order of the Sea King Ragnar has been issued, but the lords of each region have different times of receipt and different levels of support.

Yin Val took control of Northern Ireland and was delayed, and Ragnar ordered him to go south immediately to cooperate.

As the ships passed through North Scotland and froze into icemen, they were finally discovered by the Vikings in the north of Ellai.

And take them to the island.

The Viking leader led by the dragon ship set foot in Ireland for the first time.

He looked around curiously, the buildings and the hair color and outline of the people here were a little darker than those of the Anza, and many of them had fiery red hair.

The people of the port speak a variety of dialects, and clay pots from the Mediterranean, wine, food, and leather goods fill all corners of the city.

From here all the way to Dundalk, there is some of the richest farmland on the island.

Over the centuries, large numbers of immigrants and merchants have entered the Dublin area and then settled in other areas for trade.

The climate on the island is humid and mild.

Under the influence of the monsoon, a variety of plants and flowers are abundant, and the forest is extremely dense.

Flocks of birds fly through the sky and you will see endless green forests, which were called "Green Islands" in Roman times.

Though Rome is gone,

However, in the following centuries, the island's population did not return to its peak in Roman times.

The Viking leader was from the command of Hafdan of Denmark, and had little friendship with the Vikings of Yinvar, and if it weren't for the presence of a nominal co-leader, Ragnar, it is likely that his behavior of going to the island without permission would be regarded as a mole, and thus put on the collar of a slave criminal.

In the end, he took Ragnar's letter and met with Val's close ministers, only to get the unexpected news that Yin Val had left Ireland early, and that the recent information about him was false news from the Vikings who stayed on the island.

"How long will it take for His Majesty Yin Val to go to the south and come back?"

"I can't say for sure."

The little leader could only stay for two more days, and when he had finished resupplying, he returned to the harbor, where a Viking slave ship had returned from the port of Wales just as he had left the shore.

Wales and Dublin are a straight sea lane, not far from each other, surrounded by scattered islands, and not too much wind and waves.

Therefore, the slave ship is different from the dragon ship, the draft is deeper, and it can carry goods, and this time, they returned with a full load.

"Again and again, these idiots choose to let our guard down in prayer so that we can calmly enter the shore. This harvest is really good, we have caught several young women and sold them to those warriors and nobles, and our table will be full of sweet wine and fragrant meat. ”

The two sailors were in a good mood chatting as they pulled out a group of dead-faced Anzans from the cabin.

They are now livestock, and the Vikings are never polite to such goods.

Strip their garments bare, male or female, and put them together with long strings of rope.

As long as one person wants to escape, it will affect the others, and they will not be able to do so at all.

Of the group of slaves, only one "Viking shield woman" was clothed.

Her expression is different from the panic of other people, and if her eyes can understand the meaning, then you can see the "hope" in it......

After a while, a small nobleman who came to inspect the goods saw it, "Asked, how do you tie up our people?"

"My lord, this is not a clan, she is a Dan who lives on Ansa Island, but she can't tell the origin of her family, although she has tattoos on her body, but it seems that she has just been engraved not long ago, and she happened to meet it and brought it back together."

The Vikings themselves were divided into many factions and groups, and it was not uncommon for people of different races to be taken as slaves.

This group of Viking robbers did not go out of line, and left her a piece of clothing, which is already preferential treatment.

"Consolidate the goods and start valuing."

As he spoke, the little leader of the boat stepped forward and opened the woman's mouth with the palm of his hand.

"The mouth is very good, I don't smell the smell, and I can definitely sell it for a good price."

The woman's hands and feet were controlled, but she still turned her face and shook her hands off without admitting defeat.

Big chiefs such as Yinwal and Hafdan can plan wars against counties and even countries, but small leaders also have to find ways to make money.

When Ragnar was a farmer, he turned his back on his leader and sent his own boats to explore the oceans.

And this tradition has also been passed down, and on weekdays, many small chiefs, as Alger had invaded Durham, gathered the leaders of several tribes, and some went out to the island of Anza to rob, and the looted ones were given a tenth to the upper lords, and the rest were divided privately.

After a while, the slaves were taken directly to an open space in the harbor, and then the sailors who traveled put the "goods" up for auction along with other looted goods.

Those who are good-looking, or young and strong, are naturally very popular.

Recently, on the island of Anza, because of the war with the Vikings, the whole island was on guard, and several slave ships traveled, but not many people were snatched back, and this time, a whole boatload of women!

Men are still teenagers or children, this kind of goods eat less, easy to discipline a lot, after a few years, they will consider you the master.

All the merchants in the market were around, but the woman did not come up for auction.

Because she has already been favored by the little leader of one of the funders just now.

He decided to enjoy it for himself first, and if he couldn't please himself, or if he got tired of it, he would wrap it up and then give it to the other leaders as a slave.
