284. Deeds of the Danes
Sometimes convincing a person to cut off all his paths and have nowhere to go, naturally you can only choose what you want him to take.
He personally cut down Hafdan and gathered all the clans that opposed the Ragnar.
This is the way Orlan gave him.
That night, Guthrum was brought back to the army.
The woman combed him, dipped his lion-like unkempt hair in oil, used a comb, and slowly braided it.
He was treated like a dignified guest, and his subordinates were well arranged.
on the dining table.
When the crown prince handed him the cross, he removed the armband that he had worn for many years and hung the new object around his neck.
A reenactment of decades ago, when the ancestors pledged allegiance to the Carolingian family for the sake of profit.
"In the name of God, brave warrior Guthrum, your choice will open new doors, and this is the great and hopeful path."
"I welcome you on behalf of the others, Your Excellency."
"When you take up the cross, your soul has been purified, grace is now upon your body, and the Father will direct you to light and make your life happy."
The monks around the crown prince began to brainwash, but this way was not as good as Orlan's.
Go back to Denmark early, grab money, grab food, and rob women.
Subsequently, the surviving and captured soldiers on the battlefield were gathered in large numbers and brainwashed by Guthrum.
Of course, those who are too close to the ragan clan don't need to make much effort to cut them directly.
Orlan watched him perform.
He prepared the woman and the wine.
When they choose to convert, the woman will help them bring the holy things and then go to the bed and teach them the first correct line of praise to the Lord.
"Our ancestors first came to the Netherlands, and our wealth and craftsmanship are far superior to those of other tribes.
Charlemagne drove a large number of Saxons, and it was our ancestors who protected them, and some of them continued to flee north to Scandinavia, and it was the help of our ancestors that allowed them to stand on their feet.
'It is dishonorable to be ruled by a woman', these are the words of the heroes and kings of the ages.
And to be ruled by a foreign clan, or by the bloodline of peasant fugitives, is it glorious?
Ragnar didn't do us much good, and much of the wealth he had built was shipped back to his hometown by him.
His son Hafdan, who ruled for ten years, is there a better life for you than in the days of the Danish kings?
Family and blood debt are important ties in our traditional life.
It is our tradition to kill our relatives, even if we chase them to the extreme, to take revenge.
Among them, in more detail is treason.
Some of you were also appointed by the Danish kings, just like me.
What about ordinary rebellions?"
Guthrum pointed to a small chieftain.
"Death and confiscation of wealth, drilling holes in the roots of men's feet, threading ropes into them, tying them to bison, letting out hounds to chase them until their bodies are broken to pieces."
"What about the king?" Guthrum ordered another middle-aged warrior.
"Broken legs, put together with a pack of hungry wolves, and open the house for three days."
Guthrum was satisfied, "Now, tell me, who is our real enemy?"
There was silence for a moment, and then someone said "Hafdan".
Slowly, the local clans, who had been oppressed by the foreign Viking leaders, became resentful.
"Finally, answer me again, about the rewards distributed for battle in the ancient legal code?"
"Priority is given to the king's orders." There is humanity.
Guthrum shook his head, "The gold goes to the commander, the silver goes to the brave soldiers, the weapons go to the strongest warriors, and other items such as ships are shared by all.
It would not be fair, even sinful, if the king could decide our glory and reward from a few dozen nautical miles away with just a few words.
What I have is what you will have, even women. ”
Guthrum then drew his iron sword, "Björn betrayed us, now, make a decision." ”
After passing the buck, time counts down.
Several people offered to die in a duel.
Oran satisfied them, and then expressed his grief, "Actually, the ancestors of Ansa and your ancestors are all family, and we are brothers!"
Of course, Oran said in his heart: I am a brother and you are a brother, this is called a brother.
He had the dead soldiers buried.
Then baptize the new group of fighters.
A few days later, when Bjorn's army arrives and reconfronts the Lord's coalition, they see Guthrum's Viking warriors.
Bjorn didn't ask much, and he didn't get angry and fight right away.
Now just by looking at morale, God can crush the Vikings.
Björn saw the Divine soldiers, this time in a defensive phalanx, with spears and shield wall archers, who could resist his own charge.
A group of heavy infantry warriors under Guthrum took their new weapons and stood with Orlan.
He wanted to go over and kill these two!
The picture of a possible battle flashed through my mind.
Today's Anzaans are difficult to defeat, and they walk in a more neat formation than last time,
Stretch your spear forward, and it will be difficult for your team to break through.
And they also have horses, although they have them on their own, but there are not enough of them.
More information to support the Midborder will need to be transported.
The cries of the English were carried by the wind to another hill.
Fighting a war of equal strength is not worth being happy at all, and this kind of state that can be crushed is a good war.
Orlan rode side by side with Guthrum, calling him brother and brother, and rejoicing, "Catch him, and use my hammer of holy war, knock out all his brains!"
"You're such a bastard."
Just yesterday, Oran agreed with him to exchange hostages.
He will send his son "Snow" to Denmark,
And Guthrum will make enough in return for this gift.
Children are an "incomparably sincere" gift to the alliance, and Guthrum will also send a son.
If the subordinates can be sacrificed, the people can be sacrificed, then the children can also be sacrificed.
All the lords thought so.
If the lord doesn't use the child, why do you give birth to so much?
Used to increase future rebellions?
Robb may also have to go to the North as a hostage later.
Oran felt that he had too few children.
An orthodox heir, assisted by a younger brother, surrounded by the children of several important ministers since childhood, and secretly cultivated by adding a third heir if necessary, this kind of team can be established, and it will be more comfortable to transition the regime in the future. ”
In the end, Björn retreated, and there was no overly fierce fighting, and the crown prince sought stability, but only slowly advanced to regain the territory.
Just retreated, and some people were dissatisfied.
Björn replied, "If you want to die, you can jump directly from the sea into the whirlpool. ”
He decisively gave up a large area of land until reinforcements arrived.
But his anger is also felt in retreat from action.
Wherever he retreats, the traces of the villages around the place will be completely destroyed.
"Tu!"
He was asked if it was impossible to construct effective rule.
He only replied, "Wouldn't it be better to kill them all and emigrate?"
......
Midland, Cambridgeshire.
When Ragana's messenger gave an ultimatum.
Lord Mayor Anhar knew he had to make a big decision that would change Britain for decades......
