Rurik's enthronement ceremony was huge, but the dense forest seemed to cover up this momentum.
The altar hidden in the forest seems to be isolated from the world. The priests of Uppsala are here in secret to carry out their summer ritual activities.
Regarding the uppsala temple being occupied by the Rus, the high priest with a patterned face has nothing to say.
Nor would he curse the Ross people and curse Rurik in this secret altar. It was as if the Ruths left after being satisfied, and the great temple and sacred tree still belonged to the priests.
However, they are totally unable to estimate what measures a duke will take to some people in the old age after being upgraded to king!
The revelry of the queen will not stun Rurik's head.
Or to be king now, it is not his life goal at all. He didn't even plan to be the king of Sweden, but the wheels of the times have been crushed to the present. The manifest destiny has given Ross the opportunity to integrate the Nordic world and even is a historical responsibility. To be the king of Sweden is destiny, and Rurik must wear it. crown.
He will declare his own philosophy of governing the country to all the Swedish nobles, and the nobles also need to understand how they will live with the people after the start of the "Russ Dynasty".
He can conclude that the majority of nobles will feel pressure on matters such as power, duty, and tribute. For the time being, this group of people will not say anything. They can predict how they want to stay in Rick. As the saying goes, no one wants their own interests to be harmed. As long as the new king can bring benefits to the nobles, everyone will not have any antipathy in the interests of the interests, and the Ruth rule can last forever.
As long as the tribes of Sweden or the world around Mälaren do not condense into a single rope, the Rus Principality part of the kingdom can be easily overcome with absolute size.
Even so, these nobles still need to see the majesty of the king!
Is it majesty to kill one hundred and eleven deer to worship Odin?
No! not enough.
Ross disdains human sacrifices, but some people must die. Some people will be put to death, and Ruriek did not intend to kill innocent people indiscriminately, simply because those mortal people, whether they have the intention or not, their existence itself is a threat to the king's power.
It is July, and all the Swedish nobles are still staying in Uppsala.
Most of the people who joined in the excitement have already evacuated, and the not-so-large Neihu Lake has calmed down. The Russian army still stayed here. They were ordered to maintain a high level of alert. What surprised the local people was that the non-productive Ruths simply lived in the cities they built, and even their favorite logging work was suspended.
Inside the fence, the soldiers are polishing their weapons to avoid the rusting of the weapons caused by the humid climate.
King Rurik has already spoken. A few days later, the All-Swedish Nobility Conference will be held. King Yu himself elaborated on the relationship between the monarch and his vassals. Before the meeting, the nobles were not allowed to leave, nor were they allowed to meet and ask for an explanation, they had to wait quietly.
This is like training an eagle. You can put the eagle aside and let it stay quiet, thus training its patience and obedience.
Boredom and anxiety accompanied the nobles. Fortunately, the king gave some glass bottles of spirits and honey pastries. It is not a big problem to have a good meal to soothe the emotions.
They didn't know what Rurik was doing these days, but the Governor of Uppsala realized that the priests who fled the forest were coming back with a little thought.
Lurik is indeed not simply staying with his wives and concubines in a temporary residence.
The so-called temporary residence is the Great Temple of Uppsala. The buildings connected together in a huge arc shape housed all the royal family and the nobles of Rose. Even the elite guards led by Grund camped near the palace.
It was a sunny morning, and the energetic King Rurik got a surprise report from his subordinates.
"Swinned has something to ask for? Haha, what can I do now."
"My lord, do you let me go?" Chuan Lingbing asked cautiously.
"Make a way to let him in."
"Yes."
Soon, Swinned hurried over, unarmed, he saw the king smiling only flattering, and seeing the king glared at him, he immediately returned to seriousness.
He knelt down on the wooden floor to salute the soldiers wittily, and got up only after getting the order to get up.
"Swinned, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you are asking for something for your son?" Rurik asked casually.
"It's nothing about Hergon. I just want to report one thing to you. Those priests who took many statues to the forest altar, they are coming back. You now own all the buildings of the Great Temple, and you are bound to... …"
"Clash with your priests?"
"Yes."
Swinned's words are very real, and the hidden meaning of the words is more clear. The so-called priests come back and the king should leave. Even if he knew that based on the current situation, the Great Temple was already royal property.
"Ah! I thought those people don't want to come back, they won't come but it's better." Rurik pretended to lament.
"How about you...?" Swinned was more cautious.
Lurik stared at him sharply: "What do you think, what shall we do?"
"I... I don't know. It seems that you think they are... very redundant?"
"Isn't it superfluous? So, I plan to annihilate them."
"what!"
Swinned's surprised expression was quite exaggerated. Rurik was stepping forward and slapped his shoulder sharply: "The Uppsala Temple is always an important temple. It is my property, and that The big tree is even more of my property. I am enthroned here, how can I let those priests take it again. There are too many of them. As long as they dare to come back, the result will be death."
Obviously the king's attitude is extremely serious. Swinned suddenly felt that he was quite redundant today. The king has already issued death sentences for the old priests, and he is here to wait and see.
There was no more to talk about, and Swinned was given an order: "Go back to your house and live with peace of mind, and restrain the Uppsala people from running around in the near future. I will kill the priests. You must not leak this. A little wind. Follow my orders, and your family will prosper in the future."
The mercenary team was completely upgraded to the Imperial Guard, and Grund became the leader of the first generation of Imperial Guards.
The main members of the Imperial Guard are a large number of teenagers. They have been loyal to the king for many years. They can be trusted in terms of loyalty, young and burly physique. But for these young warriors, the steel swords they recently issued were also forged and polished recently. The blades were not stained with blood, and they had never killed anyone.
It's not how ruthless people can defend the king's safety.
Leurik gave a clear order to Glend, leading the young brothers to take the priests who had returned.
"As long as they dare to come back, do it, don't think it is a taboo to kill the priest. Your monarch is protected by Odin, and it is only honor to fulfill the monarch's orders."
Grund has his own beliefs. He dreams that his soul can enter the Hall of Valor after his life is over. Now, he was convinced that Rurik himself was indeed Odin's darling. Although killing the priest was a taboo, it didn't matter now.
More than one hundred young guards were specially organized. They are in principle the complex defense of the palace, but in essence they are also a group of killers.
They are only loyal to the king. The king has orders to kill the enemy. As for who to kill, they have no right or bother to decide, as long as they perform their duties properly.
Uppsala Great Temple hides murderous intent!
The old priests who were pulling wooden wheeled carts, carrying sacrificial supplies and precious idols knew nothing about it.
The high priest of Uppsala with a patterned face has no good feelings for Rurik. His smiley face was flattering. His act of running away was to vote with his feet to express his dissatisfaction with Rurik as the king.
The priests didn’t say anything, they acted against the king! So you must die!
The priests really do not eat fireworks. In the past, the temple was always separated from the world by walls. After more than 20 priests of different ages asked the people for property, life was pure worship. According to their logic, such a pious statement will touch the gods, and the soul after death will surely enter Asgard.
They patted their pace quite neatly, pulling a flatbed cart, and showing sly figures in a thick morning mist, just like a pair of elves walking out of the forest.
The crown of antlers on the head of the full-faced high priest is clearly swearing that the true high priest of the Great Temple of Uppsala is back.
When the fog gradually dissipated, the priests who walked into the open ground were spotted by the Ross warriors who were waiting for work.
These fighters are not actors, and they don't even know that Rurik gave the killer's order, they just watched from a distance.
The high priest saw the building of the Great Temple and the mass of holy trees. After some time passed, it seemed that the Rus did not do anything to the temple. That is, they can't get the sacred utensils of the temple, and really rely on their own utensils to do the rituals?
The corners of the high priest's mouth turned slightly upwards. His emotions were contemptuous. As a result, he found that the wall was gone, and replaced by a large number of tents and temporary wooden sheds, completely dumbfounded.
All the priests are dumbfounded! Simply froze on the spot.
The shock was followed by anger, and their sacred abode was desecrated.
"Rylik? Ross people?! These are all you do?!"
The old right hand gripped the wooden staff tightly. The high priest smashed the pit with the wooden staff deeply on the soft soil and ordered all the priests to walk quickly.
At the same time, Rurik's wives and family members have evaded one after another, and even the old Otto has withdrawn in an orderly manner with the team.
Inside the main hall of the temple is a gilded bust of the Russian **** Odin, making it the only statue of a god.
Lurik put on chain mail, and his beloved golden laurel was firmly on the head of the flowing golden ponytail.
More than one hundred young Janitor soldiers sharpened their steel swords, and they all hid in the temple building.
With the sacred tree as the center, a small area has been cleared, and the noisy place is now very quiet!
The angry Uppsala priests wanted to confront Rurik, but when they returned to the temple where the wall was lost, they were shocked to see the weird tranquility here.
"Liurik! Could it be that you desecrated my great temple?"
"Ross, show up! Explain what you did, why did you demolish the wall?"
"Look at the good deeds you have done, why you built a strange wooden platform in front of the sacred tree."
The high priest had a hoarse voice when he was up for age. He had already taken off his hood, showing a pattern full of his head, which looked terrifying at first glance.
It is more than him, all the Uppsala priests present have this tattoo pattern. They don't even have much intact skin on their bodies. Everyone should get tattoos as much as possible, with densely packed words of worshipping God, believing that this move can reach the sky.
More than twenty men with patterns on their bodies showed their true faces, and they felt that the high priest's inquiry was just a vent of anger. The Ross people should have left, just like everyone left with the sacred artifacts and threw them to the Ross people. Now the Ross people are learning to leave a mess.
Suddenly, the priests saw a strong man walking out of the darkness of the hall.
is Rurik! The flowing golden ponytail proves everything.
The high priest was waiting for Rurik's appearance. She appeared suddenly, and it was all over for the high priest.
"You?!" Rurik held a steel sword impressively, and the light reflected violently in the sun. "High Priest of Uppsala, we meet again."
"Ruriek? You..." The high priest saw the crown on this person's head and was convinced that the person had been called the king. This strong threat was really irritating when he was pointed at with a dazzling sword.
The high priest didn't have any fear, so he began to criticize.
Unexpectedly, Rurik didn't want to hear this person need it at all, and casually ordered loudly: "My soldiers! Come out!"
After a while, the Rose Forbidden Army hiding in the temple filed out. They moved extremely quickly, surrounding more than twenty priests with patterns on their faces. The shield painted with blue patterns on a white background is matched with the warriors' uniforms of the same pattern to form a unified and mighty circular shield wall.
"Huh? Rurik of Rose, what do you want?!"
As soon as the high priest asked a question, he saw this group of crazy warriors culling.
The round shield leaned in front of him, the steel sword stabbed frantically, and the priests who didn't know the situation were bayoneted one after another.
The first time a man was ordered to kill, a young imperial soldier witnessed blood for the first time in his life. The blood splashed on him was no longer the blood of deer for training, but the blood of the enemy!
Their hearts were beating wildly, knowing that the other party had fallen dead in a pool of blood, they were still stabbing wildly.
Only when the shield is bloodied, can he really prove his bravery to the king and be worthy of his salary.
The high priest of Uppsala didn't know how many swords he had in his body. He didn't even know to his death why Rurik, who became the king, had to commit such violence under the shade of the sacred tree.
The high priest died, and his blood-stained antler helmet was confiscated by Rurik after his death.
The sacrificial artifacts they brought back were all captured by Rurik.
The hearts of the soldiers who completed the mission were beating wildly, their faces seemed to be smiling, and their expressions were quite distorted.
This crazy scene was seen by Governor Swinned who was hiding in the temple, and he did not want to show up.
He was asked to stay here to witness the killing ordered by the king, and at this moment he also realized that it was an act of slaughter.
Swinned tremblingly walked out of the temple, still trembling as he stood in front of the king.
"The priest...the priests are all dead."
"Dead. As I said, these people are not needed."
"Ah! How good is this. Oh no, I mean, you still have to keep some priests. You kill these old priests, and you won't let the temple go to waste."
Swinned was standing next to the corpses of the priests, and mentioned the future in a nervous state, which shows that this guy is very good.
Lurik didn't kill any priests, his sword was still kind. This convenient sword returned to the scabbard, and he glanced at the deadly High Priest of Uppsala, and said to the governor: "It is very important to me without these people. I said that they will die if they dare to come back. What are you Swinned? Don't worry, I will leave a team of priests, and I will leave a concubine as the new High Priest of Uppsala."
"A woman? A priestess?"
"Are you surprised?"
Indeed, in Uppsala tradition, women cannot be priests. But the Roths became kings, and Roth's traditions are clearly reversed.
Swinned hurriedly explained: "Any decision you make is wise."
Rurik shrugged: "Presumably you have realized what you must stand. I know you must assist the new priestess. I will give birth to a child with the new Uppsala high priest, the future high priest. It will be hereditary and will continue the blood of this king. I warn you, you have no right to make irresponsible remarks to the high priest I appointed, you must give your help."
"Yes!"
Regarding Rurik leading the crowd to annihilate the old priests of Uppsala, it really gave the people a huge psychological shock.
The Ross people cheered the king’s courage, the Uppsalas feared the king’s cruelty, and the nobles who stayed here felt that this was the king’s deterrence.
"You really dare to kill even priests! You are really cruel. If Odin hadn't given you a blessing, I wouldn't dare to do that for someone else." Bjorn, who was abdicated, only dared to sigh in silence.
A short time later, King Rurik summoned all the nobles and publicly unveiled his canonized High Priest of Uppsala.
She is a little girl, obviously much younger than the high priest Lumia of Ross. But she is not very young, as a woman already has the qualifications to be a mother.
She is Rumi, one of Rurik’s wives and concubines, and as the attendant of the high priest Rumi, she participated in the entire enthronement ceremony as a lower priest.
Lumi who is used to be Lumia's follower, in principle, the two names have the same meaning, and the deer-raiser (Lapp) is exactly the same as the Kewen in blood.
Lumi, the daughter of the chief of the tribe of Covin’s Salmon Lord, is in her hometown, and she has a high probability of becoming a female shaman of the Covin.
For the past years, he has been a deputy to the High Priest of Rose, and was established as the third rank by Rurik in the "Wife and Concubine Meeting." Queen Svetlana, below the high priest Lumia, is this same black-haired Lumi.
Honestly, her appearance is not outstanding~www.novelhall.com~ and she is not tall. Even so, the giant-like king Rurik has favored her many times in the past few days, which surprised her and accepted it after clarifying the reasons.
She realized that she was the daughter of a tribal chief, and now she has an important place in the emerging kingdom of Ross.
She has completely believed in the Nordic gods, especially in the greatness of Odin and the dignity of Rurik.
The captured Uppsala priest's antler helmet was put on her head, and the temple's old artifacts were completely restored. From then on, Rumi must be solely responsible for the Uppsala Temple.
She believes that she has been pregnant with the king's child, and her child will inherit this priesthood and protect the kingdom of Ross, which is said to be the largest temple in Sweden.
She herself is actually one of the symbols of Rurik's royal power. She will have the right to choose some women from the Uppsala tribe as the lower priests, just like Lumia's sister, to establish a set of priests.
Lumi wears a helmet with antlers, really like Lumia a few years ago, even Otto recalled the past. At that time, the high priest Veria completed his sacred mission, the soul returned to Tianyu and was upgraded to the Valkyrie. Lumia who succeeded her was just like Lumi in front of her.
As an old father, Otto hopes his only son, Ruriek, will have more wives and concubines. Although this Rumi is the daughter of the surrendered tribe, she has been serving as an auxiliary priest in the past years and has not been impatient, and there has been nothing wrong with any ritual.
Now, she is the High Priest of the Uppsala Temple under the rule of the Rose Kingdom! A high priest who is responsible only to the royal family!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Rurik's enthronement ceremony was huge, but the dense forest seemed to cover up this momentum.
The altar hidden in the forest seems to be isolated from the world. The priests of Uppsala are here in secret to carry out their summer ritual activities.

As long as the new king can bring benefits to the nobles, everyone will not have any antipathy in the interests of the interests, and the Ruth rule can last forever.
As long as the tribes of Sweden or the world around Mälaren do not condense into a single rope, the Rus Principality part of the kingdom can be easily overcome with absolute size.
Even so, these nobles still need to see the majesty of the king!
Is it majesty to kill one hundred and eleven deer to worship Odin?
No! not enough.

I said that they will die if they dare to come back. What are you Swinned? Don't worry, I will leave a team of priests, and I will leave a concubine as the new High Priest of Uppsala."
"A woman? A priestess?"
"Are you surprised?"
Indeed, in Uppsala tradition, women cannot be priests. But the Roths became kings, and Roth's traditions are clearly reversed.
Swinned hurriedly explained: "Any decision you make is wise."
Rurik shrugged: "Presumably you have realized what you must stand. I know you must assist the new priestess. I will give birth to a child with the new Uppsala high priest, the future high priest. It will be hereditary and will continue the blood of this king. I warn you, you have no right to make irresponsible remarks to the high priest I appointed, you must give your help."
"Yes!"
Regarding Rurik leading the crowd to annihilate the old priests of Uppsala, it really gave the people a huge psychological shock.
The Ross people cheered the king’s courage, the Uppsalas feared the king’s cruelty, and the nobles who stayed here felt that this was the king’s deterrence.
"You really dare to kill even priests! You are really cruel. If Odin hadn't given you a blessing, I wouldn't dare to do that for someone else." Bjorn, who was abdicated, only dared to sigh in silence.
A short time later, King Rurik summoned all the nobles and publicly unveiled his canonized High Priest of Uppsala.
She is a little girl, obviously much younger than the high priest Lumia of Ross. But she is not very young, as a woman already has the qualifications to be a mother.
She is Rumi, one of Rurik’s wives and concubines, and as the attendant of the high priest Rumi, she participated in the entire enthronement ceremony as a lower priest.
Lumi who is used to be Lumia's follower, in principle, the two names have the same meaning, and the deer-raiser (Lapp) is exactly the same as the Kewen in blood.
Lumi, the daughter of the chief of the tribe of Covin’s Salmon Lord, is in her hometown, and she has a high probability of becoming a female shaman of the Covin.
For the past years, he has been a deputy to the High Priest of Rose, and was established as the third rank by Rurik in the "Wife and Concubine Meeting." Queen Svetlana, below the high priest Lumia, is this same black-haired Lumi.
Honestly, her appearance is not outstanding~www.novelhall.com~ and she is not tall. Even so, the giant-like king Rurik has favored her many times in the past few days, which surprised her and accepted it after clarifying the reasons.
She realized that she was the daughter of a tribal chief, and now she has an important place in the emerging kingdom of Ross.
She has completely believed in the Nordic gods, especially in the greatness of Odin and the dignity of Rurik.
The captured Uppsala priest's antler helmet was put on her head, and the temple's old artifacts were completely restored. From then on, Rumi must be solely responsible for the Uppsala Temple.
She believes that she has been pregnant with the king's child, and her child will inherit this priesthood and protect the kingdom of Ross, which is said to be the largest temple in Sweden.
She herself is actually one of the symbols of Rurik's royal power. She will have the right to choose some women from the Uppsala tribe as the lower priests, just like Lumia's sister, to establish a set of priests.
Lumi wears a helmet with antlers, really like Lumia a few years ago, even Otto recalled the past. At that time, the high priest Veria completed his sacred mission, the soul returned to Tianyu and was upgraded to the Valkyrie. Lumia who succeeded her was just like Lumi in front of her.
As an old father, Otto hopes his only son, Ruriek, will have more wives and concubines. Although this Rumi is the daughter of the surrendered tribe, she has been serving as an auxiliary priest in the past years and has not been impatient, and there has been nothing wrong with any ritual.
Now, she is the High Priest of the Uppsala Temple under the rule of the Rose Kingdom! A high priest who is responsible only to the royal family!
Rurik's enthronement ceremony was huge, but the dense forest seemed to cover up this momentum. The altar hidden in the forest seems to be isolated from the world. The priests of Uppsala are here in secret to carry out their summer ritual activities. Regarding the uppsala temple being occupied by the Rus, the high priest with a patterned face has nothing to say. Nor would he curse the Ross people and curse Rurik in this secret altar. It was as if the Ruths left after being satisfied, and the great temple and sacred tree still belonged to the priests. However, they are totally unable to estimate what measures a duke will take to some people in the old age after being upgraded to king! The revelry of the queen will not stun Rurik's head.Or to be king now, it is not his life goal at all. He didn't even plan to be the king of Sweden, but the wheels of the times have been crushed to the present. The manifest destiny has given Ross the opportunity to integrate the Nordic world and even is a historical responsibility. To be the king of Sweden is destiny, and Rurik must wear it. crown. He will declare his own philosophy of governing the country to all the Swedish nobles, and the nobles also need to understand how they will live with the people after the start of the "Russ Dynasty". He can conclude that the majority of nobles will feel pressure on matters such as power, duty, and tribute. For the time being, this group of people will not say anything. They can predict how they want to stay in Rick. As the saying goes, no one wants their own interests to be harmed. As long as the new king can bring benefits to the nobles, everyone will not have any antipathy in the interests of the interests, and the Ruth rule can last forever.As long as the tribes of Sweden or the world around Mlaren do not condense into a single rope, the Rus Principality part of the kingdom can be easily overcome with absolute size. Even so, these nobles still need to see the majesty of the king! Is it majesty to kill one hundred and eleven deer to worship Odin? No! not enough. Ross disdains human sacrifices, but some people must die. Some people will be put to death, and Ruriek did not intend to kill innocent people indiscriminately, simply because those mortal people, whether they have the intention or not, their existence itself is a threat to the king's power. It is July, and all the Swedish nobles are still staying in Uppsala. Most of the people who joined in the excitement have already evacuated, and the not-so-large Neihu Lake has calmed down. The Russian army still stayed here. They were ordered to maintain a high level of alert. What surprised the local people was that the non-productive Ruths simply lived in the cities they built, and even their favorite logging work was suspended. Inside the fence, the soldiers are polishing their weapons to avoid the rusting of the weapons caused by the humid climate.King Rurik has already spoken. A few days later, the All-Swedish Nobility Conference will be held. King Yu himself elaborated on the relationship between the monarch and his vassals. Before the meeting, the nobles were not allowed to leave, nor were they allowed to meet and ask for an explanation, they had to wait quietly. This is like training an eagle. You can put the eagle aside and let it stay quiet, thus training its patience and obedience. Boredom and anxiety accompanied the nobles. Fortunately, the king gave some glass bottles of spirits and honey pastries. It is not a big problem to have a good meal to soothe the emotions. They didn't know what Rurik was doing these days, but the Governor of Uppsala realized that the priests who fled the forest were coming back with a little thought.Lurik is indeed not simply staying with his wives and concubines in a temporary residence. The so-called temporary residence is the Great Temple of Uppsala. The buildings connected together in a huge arc shape housed all the royal family and the nobles of Rose. Even the elite guards led by Grund camped near the palace. It was a sunny morning, and the energetic King Rurik got a surprise report from his subordinates. "Swinned has something to ask for? Haha, what can I do now." "My lord, do you let me go?" Chuan Lingbing asked cautiously. "Make a way to let him in." "Yes." Soon, Swinned hurried over, unarmed, he saw the king smiling only flattering, and seeing the king glared at him, he immediately returned to seriousness. He knelt down on the wooden floor to salute the soldiers wittily, and got up only after getting the order to get up. "Swinned, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you are asking for something for your son?" Rurik asked casually."It's nothing about Hergon. I just want to report one thing to you. Those priests who took many statues to the forest altar, they are coming back. You now own all the buildings of the Great Temple, and you are bound to... " "Clash with your priests?" "Yes." Swinned's words are very real, and the hidden meaning of the words is more clear. The so-called priests come back and the king should leave. Even if he knew that based on the current situation, the Great Temple was already royal property. "Ah! I thought those people don't want to come back, they won't come but it's better." Rurik pretended to lament. "How about you...?" Swinned was more cautious.Lurik stared at him sharply: "What do you think, what shall we do?" "I... I don't know. It seems that you think they are... very redundant?" "Isn't it superfluous? So, I plan to annihilate them." "what!"Swinned's surprised expression was quite exaggerated. Rurik was stepping forward and slapped his shoulder sharply: "The Uppsala Temple is always an important temple. It is my property, and that The big tree is even more of my property. I am enthroned here, how can I let those priests take it again. There are too many of them. As long as they dare to come back, the result will be death." Obviously the king's attitude is extremely serious. Swinned suddenly felt that he was quite redundant today. The king has already issued death sentences for the old priests, and he is here to wait and see.There was no more to talk about, and Swinned was given an order: "Go back to your house and live with peace of mind, and restrain the Uppsala people from running around in the near future. I will kill the priests. You must not leak this. A little wind. Follow my orders, and your family will prosper in the future."The mercenary team was completely upgraded to the Imperial Guard, and Grund became the leader of the first generation of Imperial Guards. The main members of the Imperial Guard are a large number of teenagers. They have been loyal to the king for many years. They can be trusted in terms of loyalty, young and burly physique. But for these young warriors, the steel swords they recently issued were also forged and polished recently. The blades were not stained with blood, and they had never killed anyone. It's not how ruthless people can defend the king's safety. Leurik gave a clear order to Glend, leading the young brothers to take the priests who had returned. "As long as they dare to come back, do it, don't think it is a taboo to kill the priest. Your monarch is protected by Odin, and it is only honor to fulfill the monarch's orders." Grund has his own beliefs. He dreams that his soul can enter the Hall of Valor after his life is over. Now, he was convinced that Rurik himself was indeed Odin's darling. Although killing the priest was a taboo, it didn't matter now. More than one hundred young guards were specially organized. They are in principle the complex defense of the palace, but in essence they are also a group of killers.They are only loyal to the king. The king has orders to kill the enemy. As for who to kill, they have no right or bother to decide, as long as they perform their duties properly. Uppsala Great Temple hides murderous intent! The old priests who were pulling wooden wheeled carts, carrying sacrificial supplies and precious idols knew nothing about it. The high priest of Uppsala with a patterned face has no good feelings for Rurik. His smiley face was flattering. His act of running away was to vote with his feet to express his dissatisfaction with Rurik as the king. The priests didn't say anything, they acted against the king! So you must die! The priests really do not eat fireworks. In the past, the temple was always separated from the world by walls. After more than 20 priests of different ages asked the people for property, life was pure worship. According to their logic, such a pious statement will touch the gods, and the soul after death will surely enter Asgard. They patted their pace quite neatly, pulling a flatbed cart, and showing sly figures in a thick morning mist, just like a pair of elves walking out of the forest. The crown of antlers on the head of the full-faced high priest is clearly swearing that the true high priest of the Great Temple of Uppsala is back. When the fog gradually dissipated, the priests who walked into the open ground were spotted by the Ross warriors who were waiting for work. These fighters are not actors, and they don't even know that Rurik gave the killer's order, they just watched from a distance. The high priest saw the building of the Great Temple and the mass of holy trees. After some time passed, it seemed that the Rus did not do anything to the temple. That is, they can't get the sacred utensils of the temple, and really rely on their own utensils to do the rituals? The corners of the high priest's mouth turned slightly upwards. His emotions were contemptuous. As a result, he found that the wall was gone, and replaced by a large number of tents and temporary wooden sheds, completely dumbfounded.All the priests are dumbfounded! Simply froze on the spot.The shock was followed by anger, and their sacred abode was desecrated. "Rylik? Ross people?! These are all you do?!" The old right hand gripped the wooden staff tightly. The high priest smashed the pit with the wooden staff deeply on the soft soil and ordered all the priests to walk quickly. At the same time, Rurik's wives and family members have evaded one after another, and even the old Otto has withdrawn in an orderly manner with the team. Inside the main hall of the temple is a gilded bust of the Russian **** Odin, making it the only statue of a god.Lurik put on chain mail, and his beloved golden laurel was firmly on the head of the flowing golden ponytail. More than one hundred young Janitor soldiers sharpened their steel swords, and they all hid in the temple building. With the sacred tree as the center, a small area has been cleared, and the noisy place is now very quiet! The angry Uppsala priests wanted to confront Rurik, but when they returned to the temple where the wall was lost, they were shocked to see the weird tranquility here. "Liurik! Could it be that you desecrated my great temple?" "Ross, show up! Explain what you did, why did you demolish the wall?" "Look at the good deeds you have done, why you built a strange wooden platform in front of the sacred tree." The high priest had a hoarse voice when he was up for age. He had already taken off his hood, showing a pattern full of his head, which looked terrifying at first glance. It is more than him, all the Uppsala priests present have this tattoo pattern. They don't even have much intact skin on their bodies. Everyone should get tattoos as much as possible, with densely packed words of worshipping God, believing that this move can reach the sky. More than twenty men with patterns on their bodies showed their true faces, and they felt that the high priest's inquiry was just a vent of anger. The Ross people should have left, just like everyone left with the sacred artifacts and threw them to the Ross people. Now the Ross people are learning to leave a mess. Suddenly, the priests saw a strong man walking out of the darkness of the hall. is Rurik! The flowing golden ponytail proves everything. The high priest was waiting for Rurik's appearance. She appeared suddenly, and it was all over for the high priest. "You?!" Rurik held a steel sword impressively, and the light reflected violently in the sun. "High Priest of Uppsala, we meet again." "Ruriek? You..." The high priest saw the crown on this person's head and was convinced that the person had been called the king. This strong threat was really irritating when he was pointed at with a dazzling sword. The high priest didn't have any fear, so he began to criticize.Unexpectedly, Rurik didn't want to hear this person need it at all, and casually ordered loudly: "My soldiers! Come out!" After a while, the Rose Forbidden Army hiding in the temple filed out. They moved extremely quickly, surrounding more than twenty priests with patterns on their faces. The shield painted with blue patterns on a white background is matched with the warriors' uniforms of the same pattern to form a unified and mighty circular shield wall. "Huh? Rurik of Rose, what do you want?!" As soon as the high priest asked a question, he saw this group of crazy warriors culling. The round shield leaned in front of him, the steel sword stabbed frantically, and the priests who didn't know the situation were bayoneted one after another. The first time a man was ordered to kill, a young imperial soldier witnessed blood for the first time in his life. The blood splashed on him was no longer the blood of deer for training, but the blood of the enemy! Their hearts were beating wildly, knowing that the other party had fallen dead in a pool of blood, they were still stabbing wildly.Only when the shield is bloodied, can he really prove his bravery to the king and be worthy of his salary. The high priest of Uppsala didn't know how many swords he had in his body. He didn't even know to his death why Rurik, who became the king, had to commit such violence under the shade of the sacred tree. The high priest died, and his blood-stained antler helmet was confiscated by Rurik after his death. The sacrificial artifacts they brought back were all captured by Rurik. The hearts of the soldiers who completed the mission were beating wildly, their faces seemed to be smiling, and their expressions were quite distorted. This crazy scene was seen by Governor Swinned who was hiding in the temple, and he did not want to show up. He was asked to stay here to witness the killing ordered by the king, and at this moment he also realized that it was an act of slaughter. Swinned tremblingly walked out of the temple, still trembling as he stood in front of the king. "The priest...the priests are all dead." "Dead. As I said, these people are not needed." "Ah! How good is this. Oh no, I mean, you still have to keep some priests. You kill these old priests, and you won't let the temple go to waste." Swinned was standing next to the corpses of the priests, and mentioned the future in a nervous state, which shows that this guy is very good.Lurik didn't kill any priests, his sword was still kind. This convenient sword returned to the scabbard, and he glanced at the deadly High Priest of Uppsala, and said to the governor: "It is very important to me without these people. I said that they will die if they dare to come back. What are you Swinned? Don't worry, I will leave a team of priests, and I will leave a concubine as the new High Priest of Uppsala." "A woman?
