Chapter 14: The Surprise of the Booty (Plus Update)

Having routed the Oslo defenders, the engineers pushed their ballistas and trebuchets forward.

Just a little outside of the range of Hezebi's archers, he was adjusting the siege equipment brightly.

"Proofreading is complete."

"Readyβ€”"

"Put!"

The stone bullets roared and threw at the city, smashing the walls and clods of earth, and the defenders of the city shrank on the wooden plank road and did not dare to raise their heads.

suppressed the city defense troops, the ballista shot out one after another, and the special city-breaking ballista was directly nailed to the wall, forming a bunch of climbing points!

"Really."

Rejoining with the troops, Vondolph ate air-dried pork strips and looked up at the ballista on the wall.

He just tried Song Song's method, but he didn't expect it to be successful.

It feels like it's a problem with the walled structure of the royal court in Oslo.

The Oslo royal court is an evolution of the traditional Viking longhouse.

The idea is the same, build the main building on higher ground, and then build a fence.

The layout is similar, but after decades of development by the Blonde King, it is far more luxurious than the longhouse, the leader of the Norse tribe.

The wall was just over three meters high, and was originally a simple earthen wall, but later upgraded to a palisade wall with heavy timber on the front.

It can barely be called a city wall.

According to the development route, the next stage of the timber rammed earth fence was to strengthen it with a heavy stone wall.

But I don't know if it's because of the lack of infrastructure technology, or because of the terrain of Oslo, it's not that far.

This kind of fence-like city wall without bricks is still enough for the little boy's ballista.

After filling his stomach and replenishing his water, Vondolph put on his helmet, greeted him, and led the people to the final step.

"Ahh

One of the brave defenders tried to return fire, but was headshot by the steel crossbowmen who were assigned to take care of him.

Under the suppression of the firepower of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Feng Daofu easily led the people to the foot of the wall, and began to climb along the nails composed of crossbow guns.

"Trigger Specialty - Heavy Warrior, -15% Armor Weight Penalty when you are above 90% Health"

"Trigger Specialty - Daily Morning Exercise, Movement Speed +10%"

"Trigger Specialty - Energetic, Stamina Penalty -20%"

Even if he was wearing full body armor, Feng Daofu also moved freely, stepped on the crossbow gun with one foot, and climbed the wall of more than three meters in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he landed, a Hazebi archer subconsciously swung his sword.

Clang!

Feng Dolph's head was slightly tilted, his shoulder armor blocked the short sword, and he advanced forward, pressing his right hand on the chest of this Danish strong man, and pushed people down the wooden plank road with one palm.

"Ahh

Amid the screams of the falling Hazeby archers, Vondolph strode forward like a bulldozer.

Although the veterans guarding the royal court spontaneously blocked it, no one could resist it, and they fell down the plank road one after another!

The battle cry overshadowed the clamor of the city: "Surrender or die!" ”

"Long live the Sage!"

The morale of the Southern Expeditionary Army was pulled to a burst, and in an instant, the last resistance on the wall was melted.

In the distance, in front of the windows of the royal court.

A pair of maroon eyes flashed with surprise: "Who is such power, such armor?" ”

The maid next to her pointed to the A-line badge: "Princess, I have seen such a pattern, it is from Finland." ”

"Olaf III's new ally? How did it come to be in Oslo? ”

The Danish princess from Jutland was puzzled.

Her name was Hilud, and she was the daughter of the new Grand Duke of Jutland.

The blonde king married the daughter of the old duke, the sister of the new grand duke, and she wanted to call her uncle in the relationship.

Feeling that Norway would soon be unified by the Blonde King, the new Grand Duke wanted to deepen the tie, and this kinship did not affect the determination of the marriage at all.

So Shilud came to Oslo with more than a hundred Hazeby escorts.

I should have met my future husband, but for some reason, the prince of Oslo kept not returning to the royal court under the pretext that something was wrong, and then Oslo fell.

"A day has not passed before it has fallen."

Hillud was a little dazed: "This is what my father said about the capital of the heroes of the North Sea?" ”

The maid was a little anxious: "Princess, let's run away from this!" Now I can go back to Jutland! ”

"Run."

Hilud looked at the royal court.

There was already a commotion here.

In the past, the slaves of Anshun were like crazy and swept away their belongings.

One of the servants went mad and threw himself at them.

Burst!

The tip of the spear pierced the slave's throat.

Shilud let go of the spear he was holding, his expression was serious, full of princess majesty: "We are not familiar with Oslo, and it is impossible to run away with them." ”

"Negotiate with the Lord of Finland."

"Negotiate with me?"

Vondolf looked at the Golden-Haired King's high-backed throne and turned to look at Hillud: "You are the daughter of the Grand Duke of Jutland, the princess of Denmark?" ”

"I'm Hilud."

Not to be outdone, Hilud looked at him directly.

The black eyes met the maroon eyes, but they didn't meet for a moment before they drifted above her head.

I don't know if it's a hair problem, Feng Dolph always feels that the Danish princess's hairstyle is like a pair of rabbit ears, which is a bit of a ruin of her strong temperament.

"You were going to marry the son of the Blonde King?"

"Yes."

"O princess who is married."

Vondolph opened the captive interface and glanced at Hilud's attributes.

"Name: Shilud"

"Gender: Female"

"Life: 108"

"Fertility: 180%"

"Attributes: Strength 7, Agility 6, Intelligence 5, Charisma 9"

"Traitβ€”"

"Pretty (Long Legs, Attractiveness +2, Attractiveness +20, Fertility +20%)"

"Robust (Long Legs, Strength +1, Health +5, Attraction +10, Fertility +10%)

"Sturdy (Long Legs, Strength +1, Dexterity +1, Health +3, Fertility +10%)"

"Lazy (strong is just a disguise, busyness will increase stress, fertility +20%)"

"Hedonist (likes to eat and sleep, fertility +20%)"

"Very well, you are my new wife now."

β€œοΌβ€

"Forgot the Viking traditions?"

Vondolph smiled.

Hilud shook his hand, wanting to do something, but thought of Vondolph's force.

However, the naval leader who quietly lowered his sense of existence on the side was shocked: "You will offend the Grand Duke of Jutland like this!" ”

Feng Dolph shook his head: "On the contrary, this new Grand Guild is very happy. ”

The naval leader was stunned: "Happy? ”

"He's allied with the Lord of Norway, and it's the same if I become the Lord of Norway, I mean, because he has a stronger ally to help him withstand the pressure of the Queen of Denmark."

Vondolf said calmly: "Think about it, if I have an improved relationship with the Grand Duke of Jutland, I will no longer have to worry about his naval harassment, so that it will be faster to support Bergen." ”

The naval commander felt that there was some reason, and he felt that something was wrong.

If you don't make a decision, look for the queen.

Ingrid couldn't help but persuade: "What do you make your believers think of you like this?" ”

Feng Daofu: "Everyone knows, Sage I have such a hobby, why should I suppress it?" ”

"And I'm not robbing, Hilud, are you going to refuse?"

"Me"

Hilud was about to speak when the helmet in Vondolph's hand suddenly fell to the ground and rolled to her feet with a grunt.

She subconsciously looked down and saw that the golden crown was shining with golden light!

The helmet's eyes are also shining, and they are actually polished with a transparent gemstone!

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.

That's dozens of full-body armor and hundreds of heavy infantry.

As a Danish princess, of course, Hilud is not so superficial, but she feels that after Vondolph captured Oslo, maybe maybe her father would really send her over in ecstasy.

Tossing around, so tired, it's better to stay here.

Hilud didn't speak.

Ingrid didn't know what to say, and instead said, "Everyone has already been set up in the Royal Court Chapel. ”

"There's no hurry."

Feng Dolph stepped forward: "Let's go, let's go and see the loot first." ”

Hilud subconsciously followed, and Ingrid had no choice but to follow.

This Queen Xiu, who dared to choke with her husband, was unforgiving: "I thought you were going to continue to enjoy it." ”

"I don't like to force people."

Feng Daofu has already finished reading the captive panel, the queen qualification of the blonde king is good, but the age is fifty or sixty years old, and it is not a magic world, even he can't talk about it, and the other princesses are also of age.

The princess is, but not as good as Syrude, and is unlikely to give birth to high-quality offspring.

I just talked to the women about freedom in front of me.

Although it is said that being a god stick, eating books is the basic skill.

But Vondolph saw the attributes of the princesses of Oslo and did not intend to break his promise, so that they would change their careers as nuns and live quietly, and it was another thing to take the initiative to be attracted to the sage

As he spoke, he came to the stables, and some of the maids shivered with their fruit baskets.

Brunhilde and Ava were beside them, gesturing excitedly at the stable.

Vondolph glanced at the fruit baskets of the maids.

They had probably come to feed the horses, and suddenly there was a siege.

Vondolph took out a few red apples from the fruit basket, rubbed them a few times and handed them to the maids.

The maids looked at him in amazement and timidity.

"Eat."

Feng Dolph stuffed it directly into their little mouths: "How does it taste?" ”

It was too big, and the maids had to put down the fruit basket and take a small bite of the apple: "Sweet"

Vondolph turned back and gave one to Hilud.

Hilud took a bite gently, and the juice flew out: "It's a little sour." ”

The rabbit-furred girl was about to wipe the juice from the corner of her mouth, and Feng Daofu stretched out his finger to wipe the apple juice from the corner of her mouth.

Her heart was beating faster inexplicably.

If it weren't for Feng Daofu pinching the cheeks of the maids again.

Feng Daofu said gently: "Live well, work hard, no one will hurt you, no one will bully you again, no one will need to reward you highly, you can have more and sweeter apples in the future by relying on yourself." ”

The maids bowed their heads red-faced.

This guy. The rabbit-haired girl bites the apple very hard.

As if he didn't see it, Vondolph handed them all apples, and then came to the stable: "How is it?" ”

"Better than the captives say!"

Brunhilde excitedly gestured in front of him: "It's bigger, it's bigger than Ms. Ingrid's fart. I mean, the stomach is very good and the body is very strong. ”

The nun glanced at the nun and ate the apple silently.

Vondolph had already seen the object of what the silver-haired girl was talking about.

The eyes are large, the contours are long and straight, the lips are delicate, and even the open nostrils are so attractive.

The head and neck are elegantly arched, and the height is almost 160 cm, with an elegant posture and a large chest.

The slender and powerful four long legs step on the ground, the hips and buttocks are plump, and the knee muscles are well-defined, and the lines are almost perfect, like the top black pearls.

Call~

The silky hair fluttered, like a silk dress blown by the wind on a beauty's body.

"What a beautiful mare."

Feng Dolph praised from the bottom of his heart, and glanced at Ingrid.

The chest is large and the lung capacity is large, plus the two large nostrils, which is full of vitality.

If the thighs are still long, the hind limbs can step forward more when doing the step, and play a strong support when pushing the body forward, so that it is convenient to take a larger stride, and the speed is naturally fast.

In a way, people and horses are also very similar~

Before the nun could find out, Vondolph withdrew her gaze: "My favorite thing is the waist of this mare." ”

"The waist is good, and when you ride, it will be very cool to rush."

In long-distance treks, the lumbar muscles need to continuously transmit a strong, elastic push to the hindquarters thousands of times.

This is the same as running a marathon, and it also requires strong core strength to maintain a stable and long-lasting output in the legs.

Feng Dolph's comments are very serious.

But Brunhilde had already seen her husband's reaction just now.

She pouted: "You can't even raise big teeth, and you don't know what breed this horse is." ”

Feng Daofu smiled: "I don't know, it doesn't matter, there is a horse breeding team that the Blonde King gave us." ”

The horse breeding team has a distinctly Eastern European identity.

After the stable was blocked and the escape failed, he simply expressed his sincerity.

They describe the king's horse industry in Oslo: "King Blonde attached great importance to cavalry. ”

"Over the past few decades, a lot of money has been invested in the purchase of Andalusian horses, a breed of horses with excellent speed and stamina, capable of carrying the mounts of shock cavalry and guerrilla cavalry through the maritime trade."

"It's just that because of the climate, Andalusian horses are too squeamish to fight, and the main war horses are still a mix of Andalusian horses and fjord horses."

"Most of the mixed horses went with the army, and only a few ponies remained, as well as the 50 Andalusian horses that remained to breed."

The horse breeder from Eastern Europe is really professional and gives a detailed introduction.

Looking at these Andalusian horses, which average more than 1.55 meters, Vondolph was pleasantly surprised.

Even if no property was scavenged from the royal court in the future, the blonde king's wife said that she had brought most of the gold and silver to the front line.

Feng Daofu was still ecstatic after rewarding the members of the Southern Expeditionary Army with points.

It's not because he's a Hermes that can use ponies as ingredients, but because the horses are incredibly valuable.

Isn't a horse worthy of a half-blacksmith?

If you take into account the attrition rate of the maritime trade routes, it is possible to multiply it several times.

1 Blood Axe = 20 Blacksmith.

These fifty horses alone are enough for several Blood Axe Kings, and they can feed thousands of people for a year!

On top of that, with a team of horses and one of the best breeds in the world for the Andalusian horse, one of the best and most suitable for heavy cavalry, the new ace unit can start to get started!

Fragile? Prone to getting sick?

Vondolph took a look at a specialty that hadn't been used for a long time.

"Riding Specialty - Saddle Horse Strong (Personal Mount Health +20%, Cavalry Mount Health +10%)"

No matter how squeamish the little mare is, as long as they pass through the hands of their buddies and draw a blessing pattern, they can all become queen horses!

There is hope for the heavy cavalry!

First issue and then change
