189. Go to Mercia to ask for marriage
Orlan felt that the last time he was on the battlefield, he could swing his sword 10,000 times. Although the knights you are now are not as good as those knights who have really survived the sea of corpses and blood, as long as his injuries are completely healed, he will reach a good point in all aspects.
The subordinates who fought with him now dare not give in easily. The Vikings caused him to cough up blood are also suffering less and less.
March is the ploughing season, when farmers renovate and put early maturing wheat, soybeans, onions and other crop species under the crops.
Maples, locust trees, elms, lavender and other plants are becoming more and more dense. Orlan cut down a large number of these trees to build fortifications, make furniture, store fuel, and make bows and arrows.
You are not the only one, the lords of North Central England, from the county magistrate to the village governor, have followed suit. If spring does not come, then war may start by June or July at the latest.
The lords knew that the more peaceful and tranquil they were now, the more terrible the conflict would be in the future. Some parts of Northumbria are very cold, so it can be described as bitter cold.
The people who grew up in these places were brave and aggressive, and their wildness was not lost to the Vikings, and they were inferior in experience. Orlan also forcibly held a large-scale marriage between his unmarried newcomers and local residents.
After all, in this era, population is strength. You are born for England. March of this year. To make Orlan's life unforgettable, one day, the royal city was in turmoil, and on the last day of the month, Malmu was diagnosed by a doctor and confirmed that she was pregnant.
This incident greatly deepened the estrangement between Adesha and Malm. Once this child is male, it will be the unchallenged legal orthodoxy of the Vijay family.
The happiest was Kunsang. You've been lying down for three months, and now you're just able to walk. But when he found out, he came to congratulate Malmu as soon as possible.
This is Oran's child, and the others are illegitimate children. But the child's joy soon turned Orlan into chagrin.
"I want to see my father, and that's what my sisters think." The younger sister that Malm said is the fourth sister Mia.
But for Orlan, how could he see people again if he cut off the king's ears and raised him like a pig.
You even let your kids get close to Ella! It was only then that Orlan woke up to the fact that he had killed his wife's stepmother, uncle, cousin, and was about to kill his father, and perhaps his brother and sister in the future!
is full of blood, and once he turns against Scotland in the future, he will even kill his wife's mother's family. After taking control of the royal city, Orlan also found the letters left by Ella and Haian in other royal estates.
Knowing something about her mother who had robbed the same man with Hai'an. But it is impossible to find out whose bloodline Malmu is.
Orlan could only lie to her and say that he had asked Hai'an, and she was not Ella's daughter at all. You even suggested not to have Mia to keep her company.
"She's my sister, the sister I brought up." Your sister Imo can even burn her father to death, sister what is Oran almost retorted to his wife, but finally held back, and said in a slightly light tone,
"I want to protect this child, he is a member of the Vijay family, and it cannot be left to your will." Orlan saw the tears in Malm's eyes, and raised his hand to wipe it but put it down.
A huge sense of powerlessness hits. You can do a lot of things and you can't do anything. When he walked out, he called Kunsang, and the two walked aimlessly in the collar, muttering to themselves,
"I used to think that the bigger the territory and the more people obeyed my orders, the more majestic and omnipotent I became, and I was wrong again. Now I have three counties, and in the future my territory will be bigger and I will have more children, do you say they will kill each other" Kunsang was rarely unable to respond to the question.
Oran could only pat him on the body and tell him,
"I'll go to Mercia and find you a wife, and hasten to have a companion with my child. The child was closely guarded by Oran, and his wife was surrounded by people all the time. After thinking about it, Olan found that countless people could harm this child, and even the closer the person, the greater the motive, from Mia to Adesha. At the beginning of April, Orlan led people south to persuade King Mercia to let the three parties with Donnie conduct a large-scale drill on the border. In Mercia's palace, he spoke eloquently.
"The priests of the Vikings told them that death in war is everything, but our priests preached the Seven Virtues, exercised restraint, and deepened the idea of killing heretics and ascending to heaven. The Vikings attacked like rats, and sometimes we were several times outnumbered, but we all rushed to battle, and now there are only four of the Seven Kingdoms left, and they are divided into north and south, so there is no need to stretch the border so long. At the same time, the inhabitants should be relocated, and the villages of a few dozen people, if they can be merged, should be merged into the neighboring larger villages. Concentrate your forces in this way, and also avoid the elusive Vikings, divided into small forces, fighting this today, robbing that tomorrow, and it is impossible to prevent it. The Vikings like to take advantage of our festivals to sneak up on us, and we can also use them against it, holding various rallies or prostrations, waiting for them to get into the net. You don't want the North Sea Crusaders to fight their own and talk about it, train a professional professional army that can surprise the Vikings in the next big war. Each of the three countries sent a commander, commanded by Mercia. The minimum criterion for team selection is that the Vikings have been killed, so that the fear of sea wolves can be avoided by nature. The Vikings are happy to use the shield wall tactics, even fight and run, and we have to learn from them in addition to despising them!" The arrogant lord of the White Eagle was gone, and he visited all the nobles of the court of Mercia.
He met many old acquaintances. From the king's clown to the courtier, he shows the most elegant and confident side.
You, Kunsang, followed, and he didn't shy away from getting tattoos and scars on his face. The Mercians knew him to be fierce, and when Oran proposed to the king that he would find a noble home for his most loyal and reliable warriors, the nobles avoided this Viking-like demon.
But the marriage of the aristocracy itself, the marriage of their children, are all commodities. The king decreed that they must do it.
The king was very face-saving and also held a blind date meeting led by the princess. ordered the female dependents who were close to adulthood to come over and not pretend to be ugly.
In just one day, dozens of women were found, but the king did not tell the two of them, they were all women from what family, Oran and Kunsang could only judge from their clothing, mannerisms and appearance.
Kunsang secretly observed, and selected the two. Kunsang doesn't pay attention to women's looks. He chose two women with very ordinary appearances, Oran asked puzzled,
"Why these two"
"As you said, give birth quickly, these two women are not too young, with plump physiques and good fertility." Afterwards, Oran inquired, and the good-looking young women were all low-class families.
More coincidentally, the male members of both families were all seen by Orlan. One was Berry with the Rapid Sword, who fought once in the fortress and then fought side by side on the battlefield.
Soon the sword, young and handsome, made Orlan think of Marcus. The traitor's body has never been found, and Orlan can't feel at ease now that he doesn't see the corpse of the enemy.
The Frank Rebellion cast too much shadow on him. Eliminate the evil! If he doesn't have enough benefits, he won't let the people who do it to him stay around.
One of your women is Berry's sister, whose husband died at the hands of the Vikings, three years older than Kunsang.
The other is the Yuanzhi royal family, who is also currently the county magistrate
The second sister of "Otto Perry", this person Orlan knows but does not know well, but they have had a military meeting together before, and they can barely say a few words.
The two of them did not match each other, and at this moment they both wanted to decline this glorious king's task and push it to each other.
