The crows hovered above the bridge village. They are the messengers of the gods. When the warriors and warriors are turned into ashes in the fire, their souls will go to Valhalla under the gaze of the gods.
In a hearty battle, some warriors died, but those who survived were not sad and lost.
Because there is still a big battle waiting for everyone.
In fact, these crows were looking at the dead cattle and sheep corpses everywhere. They came smelling the blood, and just gathered when Arik left to eat the cattle and sheep.
Arik is determined to take his brothers to evacuate and inform the army of the discovery. They used up a lot of physical energy in the battle, and now these people are resting in Qiaocun, intending to go on walking tomorrow after they have been repaired.
The Gotland warriors who fled from the wild fleeing frantically towards Visby, and soon fled back to the harbor.
The people who went to inquire about the news were actually defeated? ! The bad news spread quickly with the back of the defeated soldiers fleeing.
At noon, people who were exhausted and thirsty returned to the council in Gotland.
There are as many as twenty noble people gathered in the Chamber. They are the heads of all Visby's large families and all the leaders of the village who fled to the refugees.
The fact of failure challenged everyone's nerves, even the face that was rounded because of wealth, now has wrinkles full of sadness. Oh, these people who fought, jumped back, or fled yesterday, and the people who were blushing with noisy faces are all panicked now.
The failed people sat on the ground in front of the court, listlessly waiting for the nobles to gather.
The Blissinos family, maybe it is the entire Visby, or the richest business family in Gotland.
The family leader Harken hopes that he can become a generation of heroes, able to dominate the entire Visby and the entire island in essence, so as to become a powerful force on the sea. The reality is that he does not have this ability. His family has been raising a group of private soldiers, and his sons are also smart and capable. The family has accumulated a lot of wealth and can recruit many warriors.
The Blissinos family does not yet have overwhelming strength. Harken’s traditional allies in business have a strong voice in the chambers, and that’s the end for a long time.
They are the representatives of the main combat faction! It was precisely this group of people who encouraged everyone to raise the island and seek refuge in the Danes for the greater good.
Obviously, the news of the fugitive before was completely correct, and the Rus had already hit the door!
Suddenly a luxuriously dressed man stood up, and he held his leg to suppress the trembling of fear: "The Ross people are so fierce, they are on the east side of the mound! We are going now, if we want to survive, we have to go!"
As soon as the words fell, the people gathered in the chamber, and even the nobles present, stared at them with contemptuous eyes.
Harken is getting older, and his braided white beard is shaking.
This is the "White Hu" Harken. He was called the "Golden Beard" Harken when he was young, but his youth is no longer there. He was not destined to be a warrior in his life, but a very wealthy fur merchant.
If the Ross people fight against the fishermen in the north sea, the Bliss Noisy family will not lose. Now the Ross people have broken into the pastures of the Chinese cattle and sheep on the island. This is the benefit of all fur merchants and the entire island farmers and herdsmen. ! They can no longer sit back and watch the fishermen suffer losses and remain indifferent.
"Svilla of the Stocker family, are you all mutton in your head? Or are you already a fat sheep cowardly?" Harken cast a blank look at his eyes.
"You! You ridicule me." Svey stretched his hand and screamed, "Now the Danes and the northern guys, they are fighting in the south. We only have ten thousand people, and we have to fight the Ross people alone? Can we? Win?!"
"You... really are a docile sheep." After that, Harken laughed in public.
He began to interrogate the people who withdrew, and was shocked to find that the elite of his command was absent from LaVine? A bad idea made his brain buzz.
Someone hurriedly wailed: "Lavin is dead, his head was cut off by the Ross. Hundreds of brothers died, it's too miserable!"
"what?"
Harken was taken aback and hurried down the stone steps, squatted down and pinched the messenger's neck: "Say! Who killed him? He is a warrior!"
"Yes... it's that guy. Arik! Ross's Arik!"
"Huh? Actually..." Harken let go, and the nobles present were also alert.
Just three years ago, Arik performed his horror in the Gotland for the first time. He deliberately told the fugitive enemy his name. In the following years, he led his troops to pick up the Gotland fishing boats and looted them, and deliberately released individual prisoners, bringing news of the Gotlander "Arik of Ross".
The Gotland people don't know much about the Ross people, mainly the old calendar decades ago-Svealand's competition losers were forced to go to the bitter cold north.
Of course, the islanders now compensated for three years of non-stop looting, and Arik of Ross became synonymous with terror, as if that person was the leader of the Ross people.
Harken admired Arik as a warrior, but unfortunately it was an enemy threatening his family. The man was immortal and the whole island was uneasy.
Now that the Lord and the faction have completely shut their mouths, many people who were still arguing last night are now standing around Harken.
However, a group of cowards named "runaways" appeared in the crowd.
Wisla of the wealthy Stockk family is one of these runaways. He himself doesn't care about the behavior of cowards, and there are indeed reasons to follow him.
Knowing that the Ross people sent a butcher, this strengthened Svira's will to escape: "If you want to fight, you can fight! I will take my family to evacuate. I will go to Denmark and leave this unfortunate. Island."
"What are you talking about? Unlucky Island?" Harken glared.
"What? Have we experienced so little over the years?"
"This is clearly a blessed place, we are all rich." Harken retorted.
"But, we're going to be over soon. Brother, listen to me, it's still too late to evacuate."
Svira didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he had decided to go. He is very sure about one thing, although the news is not conclusive now, the Ruths must have invaded aggressively. The Gotland people have always been a mess. In recent years, the Blissinos family has grown rapidly, and the Ruths have suddenly been harassed. The Gotland people, who have always been active, have now become passive.
The Ross people dared to invade the inland of the island this time, they must have come prepared.
He had already turned and walked, stopped by Harken's guards.
"Why? Don't let me go? Force me to fight?"
"No. You can go! But all your private soldiers are handed over." Harken said viciously.
"Why? That's my person."
"You? Do you think you can leave Thing alive if you don't hand over people now? Listen, the coward in Gotland will be beheaded by everyone. No one will sympathize with the coward."
Svila stared at all the nobles, and he saw that those who had been frightened by Harken, and those who wanted to escape also expressed that they would stay and fight. Everyone seems to be united around Harken? Do not! Everyone is just holding a group for warmth.
The subtle atmosphere infected Harken himself, not only was the thread tied up, Harken suddenly shouted: "Visby is at stake. The wealth of each family is here. The Roths mobilized everyone and want to take them away. Our wealth. We can only fight hard with them. Now I hope you all recognize that I am the leader, so let me take everyone and gather the strength of everyone to defeat the Ross people."
"Huh?" Svira was taken aback and asked angrily: "In the end, you want to learn from the Danes to be king?!"
"Why not?" Harken laughed slowly, then drew his sword, "I'm going to the altar in the south, I want to sacrifice Odin with blood, let God grant us victory, and let God grant me the King of Gotland. ."
"Just you? Are you worthy of being king?" Svila didn't go anymore. He turned and stood upright in front of Harken and said contemptuously: "I can be a coward, and you are arrogant. You are only slightly richer than everyone. Why are you..."
"That's it!" Svira was half talking, and a sharp dagger pierced his chin.
It was Harken who had just pulled out the meat-cutting knife with his left hand and gave Svira a fatal blow, which shocked everyone.
Haken was splashed with blood, Svila died on the ground with his eyes open, blood still pouring from the wound...
Harken still didn't stop, he bowed and spit: "This is the end of the escaped coward."
The people who originally advocated fighting were the majority. After all, the islanders were mainly fishermen. Over the past three years of crazy looting, the islanders have not only killed many men, but now the lives of ordinary people have become difficult. The root of all evil is the Ross people! They don't die, everyone will starve to death sooner or later.
Harken held up his right hand holding the long sword and threw away the blood-stained dagger. "Brothers, now I am the King of Gotland! I will go to the altar today. I will sacrifice ten slaves to the gods. I will use myself. The blood of Odin prays for victory from Odin. The Ross people are indeed terrible, but we can defeat them by combining the strength of everyone!"
People in fear need a political strongman to come forward and bring them bright prospects.
Is Harken such a person? Maybe yes, at least this person's decisiveness is trustworthy.
Visby is a large settlement built around the stone ship altar.
Nowadays, a huge long house has been built in the place of the original altar. Each wooden door has exquisite carvings. The pillars inside are also wrapped in sheepskin, and are embellished with dark green pine branches and crystal clear amber. The long room was always filled with incense, and a group of priests who destroyed all the hair follicles with burning daggers so that their hair no longer grew. They were bald and wore plain robes. They represented absolute piety in pure white and worshiped their gods.
The news of the failure was quickly replaced by Harken's reign.
Everyone needs a hero in their hearts to lead everyone through this disaster. Everyone knows that the distant Danes can't immediately relieve their urgent needs. Now they must rely on themselves.
The rich and the poor all support Harken, even the doubters, in order to avoid the end of Svila, they shouted that "war" is the most joyous.
The mighty people have surrounded the stone boat altar long house to a point of nowhere!
Ten slaves of the Blissinos family were beheaded in terror by the priest with a large axe plated with gold patterns.
In the long room, a bronze statue roughly cast into an old face is the image of Riodin in the heart of the Gotland people. The eyes of the idol witnessed the sacrifice of the sacrifice.
The cultural environment of Gotland is a bit strange. Only the statue of Odin was erected in the altar, and the statue of Frey, a symbol of wealth, was displayed in the merchant family.
Nowadays, at the time of life and death, merchants have turned into warriors.
Harken closed his eyes, cut his hand with a knife, and spilled the blood on the pure gold plate.
The slave whose head was decapitated was hung upside down, and the blood of the slave completely stained the stone ship altar inside.
The wealthy businessmen and the leader of the village knelt together in the long house. They were the participants and witnesses of the whole **** sacrifice.
Similarly, a blind male high priest of Gotland wearing an antler helmet (the antlers are smaller than the priests of Ross, but with pure gold rims), after a strange convulsion, he solemnly declares Two things:
As long as the men and women of Gotland unite, they can completely defeat the Ross people. The great Odin announced that Harken of the Blinos family became the king of Gotland and led the people to defeat the enemy.
No one has any objection to this arrangement, because time is limited, they are not allowed to have any objection at all!
Harken, who became king, didn't have any pleasure. He became the king of dreams, but he was also very sober.
The support of the families is entirely because he needs to fulfill the king's responsibilities and lead everyone to defeat the enemy. Similarly, for future battles, the king's family must also spend a lot of money, which has made the islanders dare to fight desperately.
This night, the Stok family was ransacked by the Visby natives!
Because the king said, the coward who betrayed the brothers on the island has no right to live.
Svila of Stockk was killed, and his sons died tragically. Although his family members resisted, all of them became slaves that could be disposed of at will. However, the private soldiers and old slaves raised by the family themselves became king Harken's men.
The Stoke family’s wealth was robbed, and it was not just the Visbys who joined the looting, but also the brawny villagers who had fled, and even the Danes who lived purely on the island.
There are some silent Danes who have witnessed the great events of these days. They are the leader of Denmark or the subordinates of the Danish king "The Lion" Hafgen. They hid their identities and silently supervised the Gotlanders. It is said that once these guys back their alliance, the news will soon reach Hafgen's ears, and then the Danish army will land in the crusade.
Haken, who is the king, didn’t know this. He took out ten slave blood sacrifices at once. On the one hand, it was for the “silent watch” of Denmark. As for the decisive battle with the Rus, the main aspect was of course for the Goths. Lanren, on the other hand, is also another form of voting.
Since the noble priest said that the Gotland people will win a big victory, after defeating the Ross people, the position of the Gotland people in the Danish power should also rise significantly.
Under the auspices of the family Zhang Haken, the Bliss Noisy family decided to make a gamble of destruction if it fails.
His five sons of varying ages must immediately suspend their merchant status and put on chain mail to become a warrior, whether they like it or not.
Of course he would not imagine that his cub could become a warrior on the battlefield, that is absolutely impossible. However, they can act as commanders, bringing mercenaries, slaves, and armed farmers to fight, thereby passively gaining honor.
He lied that his sons would never encounter any danger, because the main force of the battle was not his individual.
At night, Harken distributed as many as one hundred pounds of silver to help farmers, herders and fishermen fighting in the name of the king. In addition, people ransacked the Stocker family, and many people became rich that night.
In the magnificent longhouse of the Blissinos family, Harken's five sons are brave.
Siegfast, the eldest son, had even greater ambitions in an instant because of his father making himself king. He is the eldest, and he originally wanted to inherit the main family property, but now he will naturally inherit the throne of his father.
However, the brothers are all eyeing.
Siegfast didn't want to kill his own brothers in order to eliminate the troubles, so he mainly used his strength to suppress his brothers' ambitions.
At the meeting within the family, Siegfast spoke boldly: "Father, I will continue to take people to see the situation. We have to fight the Ross people, at least we must find them first."
Harken rejoiced: "Okay! Two hundred people are obviously not enough. Those villagers in Bridge Village are also fools. I will give you five hundred people and bring these elites to explore the way."
"Ok!"
Harken stretched out his hand and patted his eldest son on the shoulder~www.novelhall.com~ and took off his amber-encrusted long sword and handed it over to the eldest son. This is self-explanatory.
Siegfast held the sword in both hands, as if holding absolute power.
He strained his mouth and swears: "I will find the Ross people, will take the initiative to attack them, and take revenge on them."
"No!" Harken shook his head: "I want you to be smart. Five hundred warriors are on the scene, and the Ross people will not attack rashly. You! I want you to try to find the Arik in Ross and tell him the Gotland people want Fight against the Roths for all their grievances. Tell me that the Gotlanders are ready. If the Roths don’t come, they will be full of villains and cowards, dung spit by God.
"Yes. I...I will." Siegfast nodded, but for an instant, Harken saw the twinkling of his son's eyes, it seems that this kid still has his own abacus?
Harken can't think about that much. His top priority is to rectify his forces, so that farmers, including young women, must also take up weapons and become female fighters.
As for Siegfast, five hundred warriors in leather armor (part of the chain armor) will follow him, and tomorrow they will go to the mound for military exploration.

When the warriors and warriors are turned into ashes in the fire, their souls will go to Valhalla under the gaze of the gods.In a hearty battle, some warriors died, but those who survived were not sad and lost.Because there is still a big battle waiting for everyone.In fact, these crows were looking at the dead cattle and sheep corpses everywhere. They came smelling the blood, and just gathered when Arik left to eat the cattle and sheep.Arik is determined to take his brothers to evacuate and inform the army of the discovery. They used up a lot of physical energy in the battle, and now these people are resting in Qiaocun, intending to go on walking tomorrow after they have been repaired.The Gotland warriors who fled from the wild fleeing frantically towards Visby, and soon fled back to the harbor.The people who went to inquire about the news were actually defeated? ! The bad news spread quickly with the back of the defeated soldiers fleeing.At noon, people who were exhausted and thirsty returned to the council in Gotland.There are as many as twenty noble people gathered in the Chamber. They are the heads of all Visby's large families and all the leaders of the village who fled to the refugees.The fact of failure challenged everyone's nerves, even the face that was rounded because of wealth, now has wrinkles full of sadness. Oh, these people who fought, jumped back, or fled yesterday, and the people who were blushing with noisy faces are all panicked now.The failed people sat on the ground in front of the court, listlessly waiting for the nobles to gather.The Blissinos family, maybe it is the entire Visby, or the richest business family in Gotland.The family leader Harken hopes that he can become a generation of heroes, able to dominate the entire Visby and the entire island in essence, so as to become a powerful force on the sea. The reality is that he does not have this ability. His family has been raising a group of private soldiers, and his sons are also smart and capable. The family has accumulated a lot of wealth and can recruit many warriors.The Blissinos family does not yet have overwhelming strength. Harken's traditional allies in business have a strong voice in the chambers, and that's the end for a long time.They are the representatives of the main combat faction! It was precisely this group of people who encouraged everyone to raise the island and seek refuge in the Danes for the greater good.Obviously, the news of the fugitive before was completely correct, and the Rus had already hit the door!Suddenly a luxuriously dressed man stood up, and he held his leg to suppress the trembling of fear: "The Ross people are so fierce, they are on the east side of the mound! We are going now, if we want to survive, we have to go!"As soon as the words fell, the people gathered in the chamber, and even the nobles present, stared at them with contemptuous eyes.Harken is getting older, and his braided white beard is shaking.This is the "White Hu" Harken. He was called the "Golden Beard" Harken when he was young, but his youth is no longer there. He was not destined to be a warrior in his life, but a very wealthy fur merchant.If the Ross people fight against the fishermen in the north sea, the Bliss Noisy family will not lose. Now the Ross people have broken into the pastures of the Chinese cattle and sheep on the island. This is the benefit of all fur merchants and the entire island farmers and herdsmen. ! They can no longer sit back and watch the fishermen suffer losses and remain indifferent."Svilla of the Stocker family, are you all mutton in your head? Or are you already a fat sheep cowardly?" Harken cast a blank look at his eyes."You! You ridicule me." Svey stretched his hand and screamed, "Now the Danes and the northern guys, they are fighting in the south. We only have ten thousand people, and we have to fight the Ross people alone? Can we? Win?!""You... really are a docile sheep." After that, Harken laughed in public.He began to interrogate the people who withdrew, and was shocked to find that the elite of his command was absent from LaVine? A bad idea made his brain buzz.Someone hurriedly wailed: "Lavin is dead, his head was cut off by the Ross. Hundreds of brothers died, it's too miserable!""what?"Harken was taken aback and hurried down the stone steps, squatted down and pinched the messenger's neck: "Say! Who killed him? He is a warrior!""Yes... it's that guy. Arik! Ross's Arik!""Huh? Actually..." Harken let go, and the nobles present were also alert.Just three years ago, Arik performed his horror in the Gotland for the first time. He deliberately told the fugitive enemy his name. In the following years, he led his troops to pick up the Gotland fishing boats and looted them, and deliberately released individual prisoners, bringing news of the Gotlander "Arik of Ross".The Gotland people don't know much about the Ross people, mainly the old calendar decades ago-Svealand's competition losers were forced to go to the bitter cold north.Of course, the islanders now compensated for three years of non-stop looting, and Arik of Ross became synonymous with terror, as if that person was the leader of the Ross people.Harken admired Arik as a warrior, but unfortunately it was an enemy threatening his family. The man was immortal and the whole island was uneasy.Now that the Lord and the faction have completely shut their mouths, many people who were still arguing last night are now standing around Harken.However, a group of cowards named "runaways" appeared in the crowd.Wisla of the wealthy Stockk family is one of these runaways. He himself doesn't care about the behavior of cowards, and there are indeed reasons to follow him.Knowing that the Ross people sent a butcher, this strengthened Svira's will to escape: "If you want to fight, you can fight! I will take my family to evacuate. I will go to Denmark and leave this unfortunate. Island.""What are you talking about? Unlucky Island?" Harken glared."What? Have we experienced so little over the years?""This is clearly a blessed place, we are all rich." Harken retorted."But, we're going to be over soon. Brother, listen to me, it's still too late to evacuate."Svira didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he had decided to go. He is very sure about one thing, although the news is not conclusive now, the Ruths must have invaded aggressively. The Gotland people have always been a mess. In recent years, the Blissinos family has grown rapidly, and the Ruths have suddenly been harassed. The Gotland people, who have always been active, have now become passive.The Ross people dared to invade the inland of the island this time, they must have come prepared.He had already turned and walked, stopped by Harken's guards."Why? Don't let me go? Force me to fight?""No. You can go! But all your private soldiers are handed over." Harken said viciously."Why? That's my person.""You? Do you think you can leave Thing alive if you don't hand over people now? Listen, the coward in Gotland will be beheaded by everyone. No one will sympathize with the coward."Svila stared at all the nobles, and he saw that those who had been frightened by Harken, and those who wanted to escape also expressed that they would stay and fight. Everyone seems to be united around Harken? Do not! Everyone is just holding a group for warmth.The subtle atmosphere infected Harken himself, not only was the thread tied up, Harken suddenly shouted: "Visby is at stake. The wealth of each family is here. The Roths mobilized everyone and want to take them away. Our wealth. We can only fight hard with them. Now I hope you all recognize that I am the leader, so let me take everyone and gather the strength of everyone to defeat the Ross people.""Huh?" Svira was taken aback and asked angrily: "In the end, you want to learn from the Danes to be king?!""Why not?" Harken laughed slowly, then drew his sword, "I'm going to the altar in the south, I want to sacrifice Odin with blood, let God grant us victory, and let God grant me the King of Gotland. .""Just you? Are you worthy of being king?" Svila didn't go anymore. He turned and stood upright in front of Harken and said contemptuously: "I can be a coward, and you are arrogant. You are only slightly richer than everyone. Why are you...""That's it!" Svira was half talking, and a sharp dagger pierced his chin.It was Harken who had just pulled out the meat-cutting knife with his left hand and gave Svira a fatal blow, which shocked everyone.Haken was splashed with blood, Svila died on the ground with his eyes open, blood still pouring from the wound...Harken still didn't stop, he bowed and spit: "This is the end of the escaped coward."The people who originally advocated fighting were the majority. After all, the islanders were mainly fishermen. Over the past three years of crazy looting, the islanders have not only killed many men, but now the lives of ordinary people have become difficult. The root of all evil is the Ross people! They don't die, everyone will starve to death sooner or later.Harken held up his right hand holding the long sword and threw away the blood-stained dagger. "Brothers, now I am the King of Gotland! I will go to the altar today. I will sacrifice ten slaves to the gods. I will use myself. The blood of Odin prays for victory from Odin. The Ross people are indeed terrible, but we can defeat them by combining the strength of everyone!"People in fear need a political strongman to come forward and bring them bright prospects.Is Harken such a person? Maybe yes, at least this person's decisiveness is trustworthy.Visby is a large settlement built around the stone ship altar.Nowadays, a huge long house has been built in the place of the original altar. Each wooden door has exquisite carvings. The pillars inside are also wrapped in sheepskin, and are embellished with dark green pine branches and crystal clear amber. The long room was always filled with incense, and a group of priests who destroyed all the hair follicles with burning daggers so that their hair no longer grew. They were bald and wore plain robes. They represented absolute piety in pure white and worshiped their gods.The news of the failure was quickly replaced by Harken's reign.Everyone needs a hero in their hearts to lead everyone through this disaster. Everyone knows that the distant Danes can't immediately relieve their urgent needs. Now they must rely on themselves.The rich and the poor all support Harken, even the doubters, in order to avoid the end of Svila, they shouted that "war" is the most joyous.The mighty people have surrounded the stone boat altar long house to a point of nowhere!Ten slaves of the Blissinos family were beheaded in terror by the priest with a large axe plated with gold patterns.In the long room, a bronze statue roughly cast into an old face is the image of Riodin in the heart of the Gotland people. The eyes of the idol witnessed the sacrifice of the sacrifice.The cultural environment of Gotland is a bit strange. Only the statue of Odin was erected in the altar, and the statue of Frey, a symbol of wealth, was displayed in the merchant family.Nowadays, at the time of life and death, merchants have turned into warriors.Harken closed his eyes, cut his hand with a knife, and spilled the blood on the pure gold plate.The slave whose head was decapitated was hung upside down, and the blood of the slave completely stained the stone ship altar inside.The wealthy businessmen and the leader of the village knelt together in the long house. They were the participants and witnesses of the whole **** sacrifice.Similarly, a blind male high priest of Gotland wearing an antler helmet the antlers are smaller than the priests of Ross, but with pure gold rims, after a strange convulsion, he solemnly declares Two things:As long as the men and women of Gotland unite, they can completely defeat the Ross people. The great Odin announced that Harken of the Blinos family became the king of Gotland and led the people to defeat the enemy.No one has any objection to this arrangement, because time is limited, they are not allowed to have any objection at all!Harken, who became king, didn't have any pleasure. He became the king of dreams, but he was also very sober.The support of the families is entirely because he needs to fulfill the king's responsibilities and lead everyone to defeat the enemy. Similarly, for future battles, the king's family must also spend a lot of money, which has made the islanders dare to fight desperately.This night, the Stok family was ransacked by the Visby natives!Because the king said, the coward who betrayed the brothers on the island has no right to live.Svila of Stockk was killed, and his sons died tragically. Although his family members resisted, all of them became slaves that could be disposed of at will. However, the private soldiers and old slaves raised by the family themselves became king Harken's men.The Stoke family's wealth was robbed, and it was not just the Visbys who joined the looting, but also the brawny villagers who had fled, and even the Danes who lived purely on the island.There are some silent Danes who have witnessed the great events of these days. They are the leader of Denmark or the subordinates of the Danish king "The Lion" Hafgen. They hid their identities and silently supervised the Gotlanders. It is said that once these guys back their alliance, the news will soon reach Hafgen's ears, and then the Danish army will land in the crusade.Haken, who is the king, didn't know this. He took out ten slave blood sacrifices at once. On the one hand, it was for the silent watch of Denmark. As for the decisive battle with the Rus, the main aspect was of course for the Goths. Lanren, on the other hand, is also another form of voting.Since the noble priest said that the Gotland people will win a big victory, after defeating the Ross people, the position of the Gotland people in the Danish power should also rise significantly.Under the auspices of the family Zhang Haken, the Bliss Noisy family decided to make a gamble of destruction if it fails.His five sons of varying ages must immediately suspend their merchant status and put on chain mail to become a warrior, whether they like it or not.Of course he would not imagine that his cub could become a warrior on the battlefield, that is absolutely impossible. However, they can act as commanders, bringing mercenaries, slaves, and armed farmers to fight, thereby passively gaining honor.He lied that his sons would never encounter any danger, because the main force of the battle was not his individual.At night, Harken distributed as many as one hundred pounds of silver to help farmers, herders and fishermen fighting in the name of the king. In addition, people ransacked the Stocker family, and many people became rich that night.In the magnificent longhouse of the Blissinos family, Harken's five sons are brave.Siegfast, the eldest son, had even greater ambitions in an instant because of his father making himself king. He is the eldest, and he originally wanted to inherit the main family property, but now he will naturally inherit the throne of his father.However, the brothers are all eyeing.Siegfast didn't want to kill his own brothers in order to eliminate the troubles, so he mainly used his strength to suppress his brothers' ambitions.At the meeting within the family, Siegfast spoke boldly: "Father, I will continue to take people to see the situation. We have to fight the Ross people, at least we must find them first."Harken rejoiced: "Okay! Two hundred people are obviously not enough. Those villagers in Bridge Village are also fools. I will give you five hundred people and bring these elites to explore the way.""Ok!"Harken stretched out his hand and patted his eldest son on the shoulder~www.novelhall.com~ and took off his amber-encrusted long sword and handed it over to the eldest son. This is self-explanatory.Siegfast held the sword in both hands, as if holding absolute power.He strained his mouth and swears: "I will find the Ross people, will take the initiative to attack them, and take revenge on them.""No!" Harken shook his head: "I want you to be smart. Five hundred warriors are on the scene, and the Ross people will not attack rashly. You! I want you to try to find the Arik in Ross and tell him the Gotland people want Fight against the Roths for all their grievances. Tell me that the Gotlanders are ready. If the Roths don't come, they will be full of villains and cowards, dung spit by God."Yes. I...I will." Siegfast nodded, but for an instant, Harken saw the twinkling of his son's eyes, it seems that this kid still has his own abacus?Harken can't think about that much. His top priority is to rectify his forces, so that farmers, including young women, must also take up weapons and become female fighters.As for Siegfast, five hundred warriors in leather armor part of the chain armor will follow him, and tomorrow they will go to the mound for military exploration.
