Children of Oran will be born, but peace has not yet dawned.

And the Mercians reversed the normal state of retreat, and from the beginning of January, they increased the riots against Hafdan and others.

Anhar, County of Cambridge, Berry the Lord of Lincolnshire, and Amon of the Hand of the King.

The trio continued to increase their strength, and soon took the initiative over Hafdan and others.

Now they have also learned Viking harassment tactics,

The Vikings now faced the same cunning opponents, more well-equipped, more ample logistics,

So it's miserable.

This year can be called the highlight of Lionheart.

At one time, he was unable to effectively organize the aristocratic power of the country, especially when he was robbed of the Vikings in Denmark several times.

Economically, there were two or three years when food prices could not be stabilized, and the amount of taxes that went into the national treasury became less and less.

In terms of management, he lacks compromise, and is led by the nose by his wife Vivian and the main nobles, believing in this today and that tomorrow, so that the antagonism between the nobles is higher than in the previous kings.

Theologically, he supported and opposed God, seeing the spread of God's faith, his inner disgust but did not dare to suppress it head-on, and secretly in addition to the Anglo-Saxon faith, he was also interested in certain Nordic customs.

He defended both sides, and was not as good as the nobles who supported God, and there was a general resentment of him in his heart.

The supporters of the Anza habit also began to alienate him, believing him to be weak.

But from the founding of the North Sea Crusaders until he became the Lionheart.

He became a military and theological strongman.

Bergred placed his statue with King Offacean.

so that the subjects associate the two.

The great Mercia, the only true king of the Seven Kingdoms!

Oran arranged the monks in the North Sea crusade, all kinds of boasting of this great king.

"Thy house and thy kingdom shall be established before thee for ever, and thy throne shall never be shaken!"

"King Lionheart is righteous, he is completely blameless in God's laws, he is the king who is based on truth and has righteousness as his seat!"

Bergred has been accustomed to these meaty words for a long time, and he can't listen to them.

Orlan praised him higher and higher.

Æthelred's prestige was completely transferred to King Lionheart, and every day the southern nobles came to him for refuge.

So much so that Ragnar also put the final battle target on him......

January 19, 867 A.D.

Eight adventurous warriors from Uba started in Yorkshire, along the banks of the inland water network, and according to Pepa's instructions and maps, successfully avoided the watchtowers along the way of King's Landing, and finally came to a river beach, where they carried the dragon boat and buried it, and quickly entered the surrounding forest.

These eight warriors, seeing the distant castle from a high place, were so densely populated that they swallowed their saliva excitedly.

"Look, it's all fat and prey."

"Is this King's Landing? I have heard that Orlan has imprisoned his king and looted all the gold here.

"Joan of Arc is also there, have you heard of her, it is rumored that no matter how serious the wound of the believer is, as long as it is stained by her saliva, it will immediately scab and fall off.

"Fool, you might as well say that her feces can be eaten."

"Only our gods can have this power."

"I'm going to rob a lot of Anza noblewomen, warm my bed, work for me, and when I'm tired of playing, I'll sell them back to their noble husbands."

"Don't dream, go back and report to Your Majesty."

A few Vikings were reluctant to leave.

The number of people is too small, otherwise they would really want to go down and grab it.

When you come, you always have to take something and leave something behind.

Someone "released water",

Someone found a fruit tree in the mountains and forests, pulled out a fruit that was not yet ripe and bright, bit the sour and astringent fruit, and spit it out after a few mouthfuls.

Soon after, Orlan was told the news that a small Viking team had entered.

"How many?"

"There is only one short dragon boat, it should be gone, we have hidden people at the entrances to all the inland banks of King's Landing, and we will know immediately if there is any movement."

"They are very cautious, they should have come to investigate first, and keep an eye on them."

Oran looked at the letter on the table, which had been sent by Uba.

They agreed to the conditions, but asked Orlan to open the passage to Yorkshire, because the Mercians were already a threat to them, and they needed a safer environment,

And they have made contact with Ragnar and will send an official emissary.

By the end of February at the latest, the two sides could reach peace.

The letter ended up in the furnace.

The pressure from the Mercian was brought about by Oran, forcing Uba to make a decision, and if he did not dare to come to King's Landing, then Pepa would not be able to take care of Oran.

He will personally lead people to work with Burgred to gather all the nobles in Central England, and then find Alfred to fight against thieves.

It's better to dare to come, and send you back to your hometown at once.

This kind of short dragon boat, Oran has heard the craftsmen say, has its own concept of length and width.

So when he had been patrolling the rivers earlier, thinking of the tactics they had used to raid the Franks,

Just leave one or two and dredge them, and there are no obstacles, just throw simple floating objects such as aquatic plants in the middle, which makes people think that they are blocked.

Then let the Vikings use this secret water channel.

If thirty come, then I will have nine hundred to one thousand two captives.

If there are fifty, then I have a thousand......

Oranming's strength is better than Uba's, so he has a lot of choices,

You can be upright, you can send troops to sweep up, or you can show the enemy to be weak.

And he used all three methods.

Before the battle, he went to see King Ella.

Through layers of protection, come to this king who is not far from death.

Ella's ears had been cut off by Blossom and Henry, and her eyes had been destroyed.

Probably the motivation to take revenge and support him to live.

"Ten years earlier, you are not a usurper, you are a prince."

"Die five years early, you are not incompetent, you are a warrior."

"Died a year earlier, you are not a prisoner, you are a king."

"When a person dies when he deserves to die, it is the beginning of a tragic fate."

"I'll give you a good time, Your Majesty."

Orlan walked out, and Ella sensed who was coming, but he hadn't spoken for too long, and had gradually fallen into a state of madness, and his speech was slurred.

"Get your things ready, on the day Uba attacks King's Landing, push out the puppet king, put on makeup, let him die at the hands of the Vikings, and his stand-in must be ready, and he must wear a mask when swinging his sword, so that no one can see his face."

Orlan then made his way to the tower of the town and watched King's Landing.

Since the eagle flag was planted all over King's Landing, these birds in the sky don't know if they are close to their own kind.

The number and frequency of contacts are increasing.

This is the home of the White Eagle, and if he had the strength to fight the Vikings alone, he would not take this risk and let the Vikings in.

When the strength is enough, he will put on a decisive battle and use extremely powerful power to directly crush it!

The soldiers on the watchtower were nervous, afraid that Orlan would ask them something.

But Oran only pondered, and patted him on the shoulder before leaving, "Look, this is also your home, and if the day the enemy comes, you must muster up your spirits and blow the horn with the greatest strength." ”

"Yes!"

January 26.

Viking troops, which moved from East Anglia to Yorkshire territory, but did not attack, at the same time sent a contingent of emissaries.

January 28.

Peppa's 150 rebels gathered came to Yorkshire's river into King's Landing.

Their ideal of "saving the country anyway" was not realized, and they were surrounded by Uba, who arrived ahead of schedule.

Pepa came forward to convince them that half of the group, which was already mostly speculative, was shaken.

But the speed was too slow to disagree with the baptized converts, so Uba tied a stone on the spot, threw it into the river, and after sinking twenty people, all the rest agreed to return to Odin's family.

Uba told them that he had only come to be a guest at the invitation of the prince and the princess, and that the knights were not considered a rebellion.

On the contrary, they are loyal subjects.

After being a guest, the Vikings will take the initiative to leave, and Northumbria is still Northumbria.

From then on, there was peace.

Uba's smile was so ugly in the moonlight, but everyone couldn't say it, so they could only be coerced by him.

Taking advantage of the night, everyone slowly followed the dragon boat in the direction of King's Landing.

That night, Pepa's stomach ached severely.

Blood came out of the stomach.

The servants were anxious.

"Don't be afraid! For the prayer has been answered, and you will give birth to a son, and he will make you happy, and many will rejoice in his birth. He will be great in the presence of the Lord, and he will not drink wine or strong wine, but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb......"

The monks of the manor prayed wholeheartedly for the hostess.

Southamp led the White Eagle riders to surround the estate.

Whoever dares to take the opportunity to murder the hostess can only die.

Orlan waited in King's Landing, fetching the hammer of the Holy War and placing the immortal sword at his feet.

The table was full of artisan-made weapons, including sleeve arrows, short crossbow arrows, short swords, round knives, short axes, iron rods, etc.

Titans go in and out many times.

When he came in for the last time, his eyes told Orlan that the enemy was approaching.

Then several knights and nobles who had been arranged in advance came in and waited for the final instructions.

Many of Oran's words of encouragement came to mind, but they didn't work.

In the end, he just said, "After a hard night, you can raise your head later." ”
