Chapter 96: A Born Robber
"Young Master El, it's almost, and then it's the land of Jutland Kingdom, and those Vikings are not easy to mess with."
Seeing El looking at the land of Schleswig with great interest, a trace of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Knight of Gore, and he began to pray in his heart.
God bless, don't let this young master have any more ideas, this way, it's really thrilling.
When he first attacked the army of the Earl of Dietmashen, the Count of Dietmashen did not choose to run away at the first time, but instead launched a charge against El's army with his personal guards.
With the heroic performance of Count Dietmashen and his personal guards, the morale of the Franconian cavalry was shaken for a time, and they almost left El and ran away by himself.
At the critical moment, if it weren't for the fact that the Knight of Gore and Otto's guards rushed across the flank of Count Dietmarshin's army, I am afraid that the outcome of the battle of Dietmarshin would have been difficult to say.
Finally relied on luck to capture the Count of Dietmashen and plunder the entire Count of Dietmashin, which was considered a successful completion of the task, but El did not seem to want to stop, and continued to lead the army all the way north, to the border between the Kingdom of Jutland and the Kingdom of East Francia.
At this time, the Gore knight was scared enough, and he hurriedly dissuaded him.
Obviously, El could not have listened to persuasion.
"Look, Knight Gore, we took down Dietmasin so easily.
What does this mean?
It shows that the people around here are defenseless at all!
In that case, why don't we take this opportunity to expand our results? ”
"Yes, Master El, you're right. However, we have also swept the Saxon settlement, and now that we have successfully completed our mission, it is time to return to Bremen.
Master Otto, I'm afraid this time is anxiously waiting for us. ”
After hearing what El said, the Knight of Gore had already accepted his fate, knowing that he probably couldn't persuade him, but he still wanted to struggle symbolically, so as not to be scolded for not even having a word of defense when he returned.
"No, why should Knight Gore pretend not to understand.
I mean, since the Saxons are defenseless, and the Vikings who think we're only fighting the Saxons are defenseless, why don't we take the opportunity to grab the Vikings as well?
They are also enemies of the kingdom! ”
El looked at Knight Gore with a glittering gaze.
Knight Gore still smiled wryly and shook his head, indicating his attitude.
"Master El, the Vikings are poor and savage, and there is really nothing to rob of.
Besides, in the past few years, the kingdom has finally been at peace with those Viking barbarians, and we will be in trouble.
If there is a conflict between the two sides, then we will definitely be punished.
Forget it..."
"Who knew we did it." El didn't care about causing any diplomatic problems now, pouting. "It's all Saxons.
Besides, only the Vikings are allowed to plunder the kingdom, and we are not allowed to plunder them.
There is no such reason in this world.
Now that we have cleaned the temple of the unclean for the gods, it is time for us to do something to spread the gospel for the gods. ”
If Otto had been here, he would have put his arm around El's shoulders and praised his brother mercilessly.
This thing is simply a natural political figure, why, because he is shameless, he can even deceive himself.
Good fellow, is that called purging the gods of the unclean?
The Knight of Gore didn't bother to complain, you are looting the gods.
Besides, are you there to spread the gospel of the gods?
When did the gospel of the gods cut off people and rob them?
But El was at least right about the fact that it was the Saxons who did it, and who knows they did it.
When it was finally checked, how could it be possible to find his and El's heads.
"Alright, Master El, you have to make sure that we don't go too far into the land of the Vikings.
Those Vikings are very fierce, and if they are allowed to gather tribal warriors, we will not be able to deal with it. ”
"Don't worry." El smiled slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "I've arranged everything, and there will be no surprises.
However, Knight Gore, you don't have to follow me, you lead your troops to plunder the Vikings in the east.
As for the north side, I'll just come by myself. ”
Knight Gore nodded numbly, good guy, I really didn't expect this second young master to be so bold, it was not enough to grab a Viking tribal kingdom, and he was ready to grab another one.
However, since they have all grabbed one, what difference does it make if they grab another one?
"So, that's why you went all the way to Vyborg in central Jutland, that's why you robbed the Baltic Sea all over, that's why you cut off one of Jutland's princes.
All because, since they have come? ”
In Bremen, Otto sat at the head of the list, next to Werner and several Franconian nobles.
El and Gore Knights, who had been in high spirits before, lowered their heads and faced Otto's cross-examination.
"Speak, dumb?
With such a skill, why don't you rob all the Vikings?
Do you remember what military orders I ordered?
Look at the good things you've done.
That Jutland king is going crazy, and now he's recruiting Viking warriors and preparing for war with the kingdom, all of which are good for both of you. ”
Otto continued to speak, and the two men remained silent, almost burying their heads in their chests.
With the help of the Saxon aristocracy, Otto easily opened the gates of Bremen and successfully took over the city.
Then, following the same method, the few remaining strongholds in the Bremen region fell into the hands of Otto.
This time, Otto did not go on a killing spree, but only took the wealth of the church and dealt with some of the evil priests in the church.
It's not that Otto has changed, but that the arrival of Timo Werner has brought him news.
The Saxon duke Bach had taken refuge with the Duke of Franconia and was made the new Earl of Bremen on the border, which encompassed the entire northern part of Saxony, including Bremen.
Since Bach surrendered, then this war is about to end, so there is no need to continue to do it, and these things can naturally be left to the Duke of Franconia to do.
You can't blame yourself, let the duke take the benefits.
Just as Otto stopped at Bremen to recuperate, waiting for the Duke of Franconia to converge north, El, who had disappeared for a long time, ran back with more than 5,000 men and brought Otto a message.
That is, he robbed all the Viking settlements on the Baltic coast, and accidentally cut off one of the hands of the Jutland prince who came to stop the robbery.
This is a hornet's nest, the king of Jutland is such a son, naturally he wants to avenge his son, and even Otto in Bremen heard the news of the Vikings gathering.
I thought that poor England was going to suffer, but I didn't expect that it was myself who was going to suffer.
Eating melons and eating himself, how could Otto not be angry.
This basket is a little too big.
Under Otto's painstaking performance, the Count of Werner had no choice but to come out of the round, and said with a smile.
"Don't be angry, Count Otto, I don't think there's anything wrong with Baron El, you say."
