Rise of Rurik Chapter 533

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

Those gray corpses were facing the new rising sun in all directions. The Vikings had swept away the battlefield, and everything they thought was valuable was looted.

Poverty aroused the strong desire for predation of the Balmerk Vikings, and now the brothers are boarding one after another, aiming at Bamburgh in the south.

A long ship carrying Rurik arrived at the anchored Aphrola floating on the sea.

Several sets of rope ladders were dropped from the big ship, and a group of people began to climb.

A rope was thrown down, and Rurik's elite mercenaries skillfully tied the captured king. Erinred was like a fat sheep, transferred by the people on the ship and transported to this huge ship.

Although it was shameful, he was really sitting on a huge ship, and Ernred was shocked.

Think of your own kingdom. A huge country is clearly located on an island, but there is no decent ship.

Even when I was young, I went to Frank and even went to the Holy See for pilgrimage. I took a sampan to stop on the nearest European coast, and then walked the whole way by land.

He saw that the Vikings had a lot of ships. The one he made, sailed all by sails, and this small mountain ship didn't have a pair of blades!

After all, Ernred was the king of a kingdom, and Rurik didn't want to take his life. Of course, the premise was that this person would cooperate with his decision.

The king was tied to the main mast so that this person could see the structure of the big ship and feel the charm of the Aphrodite.

The sailor let out a long roar, and the rope that bound the sail was pulled down. The boat instantly raised the sail, shocked Erinred with goose bumps, and the wound on his left arm immediately oozes blood due to emotional tension.

He endured the pain and raised his head. He was like a slave who lost his crown. He looked up to the Vikings like this. No, it was the giant sail of the Rus. The huge blue streaks on the sail made him quickly sprout out of fear. Some intimacy.

"That barbarian boy named Rurik considers the gospel as a treasure? Can the diagonal blue stripes turn into a blue cross? Can they become the lamb of the Lord after reading the gospel? Can the plunder of our country be stopped?"

The beautiful illusion was shattered in an instant, and Ernred did not dare to continue thinking about it.

My current situation is no different from that of my slaves. I still remain absolutely silent, and tolerate my release. As for the counterattack, I still need to consider a long-term plan.

He also didn't want to think that the barbaric Vikings would convert to their absurd gods and accept the call of the Lord.

Those Picts in the north, with indigo patterns all over their bodies, dare to call themselves lambs.

In the south of Mercia, Kent, and Wessex, their kings are willing to go to Rome for a pilgrimage and spend money to "buy" a pope's reward, but they are no more merciful to the kingdom of common faith than these barbarians.

The Viking fleet resumed its voyage, lost many brothers and won a large number of trophies.

Is the expedition really worth it now?

Of course it's worth it!

The vast number of young men in Balmerk, due to their extremely backward productivity, even if the Narvik Fjord is large enough, they cannot afford a tribe of 20,000 people.

People believe in fate, a soldier died on the battlefield, and people's regret may only last for two or three days, and they packed up their weapons and rushed to another battlefield.

Balmerks and Shetlanders, everyone still maintains a fighting spirit, thinking about running to Bamburgh to get the ransom for the king's ransom, every brother can make a fortune!

Even when they were paddling, they were already discussing how many silver coins they could get and whether they could take a pure woman to be a wife.

They have not yet evolved to a situation where the family leader who leads the army can take it all. The so-called spoils, the family leader naturally has a great effect, they have the right to eat the fattest meat, and the rest of the meat is wiped out by the brothers. There is no situation where whoever eats meat can only drink soup.

From Lindisfarne Abbey to the small coastal bay where Bamburgh is located, it is a road in the woods, a strong traveler who is ready to pack, and can take this journey in one day as soon as possible.

Due to the bends of the forest road, the land distance between the two places is actually close to 40 kilometers.

The British Isles in this time and space are still sparsely populated, and the situation in Northumbria, which has been ravaged by civil strife, is even worse. During this journey, the lonely traveler must bring weapons to guard against wolf attacks. However, in the current situation, the Timberwolves can only remain alert and avoid them.

The fleeing Northumbrian army, whether it was a regular kingdom fighter or an armed farmer, most of the fugitives lost their weapons and had to find a suitable wooden stick in the forest, the most crutch ever, to do their self-defense short. spear.

They still have some fighting power, that is, they were frightened by the death of the king, the killing of the priest, and the destruction of the Holy Land.

They went mad and went straight to Bamburgh and, no matter how much energy they lost, when the first group of people arrived under the wooden walls of Bamburgh, there were still a group of people struggling to move in the forest.

It was not until this death that the dormant Timberwolves launched an attack on the soldiers and farmers who were alone at night.

What does the suffering of this group of people have to do with the Vikings?

Their escape has an advantage. When the defeated soldiers appeared, the people of Bamburgh waiting for the victory only felt that the sky had fallen.

The cavalry soldier named John escorted the king's golden helmet, and the cavalry gathered in a group, vowing that no one else would tarnish the king's golden crown.

Is your majesty's noble cavalry! They are under the city!

The few defenders in Bamburgh immediately lowered the suspension bridge and cavalry entered on horseback.

John and the others just entered the city, and the people waiting for the news immediately gathered around.

"You all get out of the way! I'm looking for the queen! Where is the queen? Where is the prince Ella?" John held up the king's golden crown helmet, and people looked at this noble thing with an unpredictable foreboding.

This is hard to tell, no one yelled about their defeat.

After a while, the crowd stepped aside. Queen Anna, who felt that something was wrong, took her ignorant little son, and tremblingly approached the proud cavalry under her husband under the **** of several maids.

Seeing her Majesty the Queen, a group of cavalry knelt on one knee in succession.

Only John walked forward with a sullen face and extremely boldly holding the golden crown helmet.

"What happened to the king? There are signs of battle on you!"

"Is the king really..."

John knew he was risking disrespect, but he did not fight to death with his brothers and did not save the king. He even hoped that he would be sentenced to death afterwards.

He declined to answer the queen's words, and rudely took off Ella's fleece cap, and buckled the heavy golden helmet representing the king's military power on the little prince Ella's head.

So far, he knelt on one knee suddenly, although he still did not answer the queen's question, now in this tragic scene, even if the queen Anna is a pure woman, it can be judged that the king has died in battle.

The news of the king's death was confirmed in the mansion of the Earl of Bamburgh. Although the king's body was not obtained, the queen was very suspicious, but his son had already put on his father's golden crown!

As a woman of the king, she is destined to not have the sorrow that ordinary peasant women should have. As the top noble of the kingdom, Queen Anna instantly understood her responsibility.

His son Ella is the official heir to the throne of Northumbria!

Even if Einred has multiple sons, another Elbert family has the right to compete for the throne of the kingdom of Northumbria (after all, the two small kingdoms are merged). Now these are all in the past, and the new king is Ella!

She hasn't been happy because her son is the king, and the severe situation will drive her head crazy, but Ella, who is ignorant, is still asking where his mother and father have gone?

There was no need for someone to spread the news. Behind the escaped cavalry, a group of desperate infantry began to enter the city. These infantrymen of good physical fitness escaped and arrived at Bamburgh overnight under extreme panic, which is also a miracle forced out by intimidation.

Any suspicion of former residents has now become true, and the situation is obviously more terrifying.

The monastery was burned down! The Holy Land is desecrated! The news from Edinburgh is also confirmed, and the town is burned down!

The army of the kingdom was defeated by the powerful barbarians!

Those were barbarians more terrifying than the Picts. They had iron heads and extremely hard shields. Their arrows could easily knock out people's heads, and even the invincible kingdom cavalry were defeated.

Those wolves who can't get enough to eat must be heading towards Bamburgh!

But the king, the earl of Bamburgh, the captain of the cavalry and all the elite fighters, the bishop of Bamburgh who mastered the sacred tools, and a large number of young priests. They all died on that battlefield!

Bamburgh has actually entered a state of no leader, and Bamburgh has also fallen into inevitable chaos.

At night, the hungry soldiers forcibly opened the warehouse, took away the wheat, and started to feed themselves.

Taking advantage of the chaos, a group of farmers who fished in troubled waters also started looting wheat.

How can the chaotic scene be ended by the few guard soldiers and the remaining priests of Bamburgh Abbey?

Finally, the kingdom's cavalry came out again!

The man named John Stockwood, whose crimes of saving the king was unfavorable, was immediately pardoned by Queen Anna.

The kingdom has encountered a major crisis, and it is just when the master and the country are suspicious, the so-called power that is not defended by the army is completely empty talk on this chaotic island.

The ignorant Ella was finally scared to cry by the chaos all year round. The weight of the golden crown made him uncomfortable, but his mother ordered him to wear it on his head.

The queen urgently canonized John Stockwood as the captain of the interim cavalry, leading the warriors who still firmly defend the king's power to suppress the chaos makers! Especially for those who take advantage of the chaos to destroy and loot, and find refuge that is no different from barbarians, just follow the practice of mixing into the city, and beheaded when found.

Perhaps, being loyal to the new king and serving for the queen dowager is the greatest loyalty to the deceased king.

Thirty cavalry and more than one hundred infantry soldiers in chain mail appeared. They went straight to the granary and rushed directly to the people who were still looting food.

The horses smashed away from the food grabber, and the sword began to assassinate.

The infantry behind the cavalry was still reluctant, even if the panicked "grain grabbing army" was already fleeing, the chase and killing continued for a while.

A **** suppression was quickly completed, and the young John felt himself better than his predecessor Aston. He even thanked Aston for his death in the battle and gave himself a chance to make a fortune.

The success came too suddenly. He clearly arrived at Bamburgh with frustrated and self-blaming emotions. It was only half a day. The flames in the night illuminated his face. John stood among a large number of corpses with a blood-stained face. Written full of desire for power.

In this **** color, a loyal and patriotic person deliberately seized the supreme power by himself.

"Perhaps, I can still become a magistrate. Queen Anna is a young widow, and Ella is a kid. Can I take her by virtue of military power and merit? I personally took the golden helmet from Ernred, it You can wear it on the top of your head! I can be a king. After I take control of the cavalry, which nobleman dares to disobey me? Those who disobey are trampled to death by my iron hoof."

Maybe a cavalry soldier shouldn't have this kind of nonsense, but as the captain of the cavalry, how can he not?

In the past, Northumbria did not know how many kings were changed, and the kingship changed hands in the hands of how many families.

The prerequisite for being a king is not military power! Now, Bamburgh has the family of the ancestor, and he is the captain of the cavalry. This position in Northumbria is equivalent to the second military power holder second only to the king.

John's idea is by no means a delusion, he does have a chance to become a king.

He immediately gathered the brothers with the blade and blood to tell everyone his advantage: "Brothers! King Ainred led us into failure, he has put the kingdom to shame! He is a tyrant! Even more powerless to defeat the barbarians. Now You follow me and recommend me to be the sign of the palace. Now the army of barbarians is about to kill, we stabilize the human heart and armed, with this city, we will defeat the enemy. You recommend me to be the sign of the palace, and wait until the enemy is defeated. , The most inferior fighters can be infantry squad leaders! You can all be nobles and can be served by servants. Only I can give you this! Please support me."

At first, some people were suspicious, but after yelling for their support, all the soldiers cheered.

After all, King Ainred could not give people who were destined to be soldiers for a lifetime a chance to develop. The so-called people have their own lives, and the lowly people are still lowly soldiers of the kingdom.

Everyone has just gone through a life of nine deaths, is there anything to be afraid of?

John Stockwood, the son of a local lord, is indeed the lowest noble in the kingdom. For such a soldier who thought he was willing to give the poor and lowly, the brothers took the risk one after another.

He decided to organize the city defense work immediately, but it was all tomorrow.

He wiped off the **** sword, and took more than a dozen like-minded men straight to the house of the Earl of Bamburgh to meet the queen mother Anna and the new king Ella.

However, Ella has not yet passed the coronation ceremony, and Anna is still the queen now.

The earl's mansion, Anna anxiously awaits the good news of calming the chaos in the city.

Seeing her canonized cavalry captain triumphantly, she stood up excitedly, ignoring her dignity and greeted her.

She thought John would kneel on one knee and salute naturally, but the man still stood upright with the hilt in his hand.

Anna didn't care so much: "Is the matter resolved? I can't hear the noise, it seems you succeeded."

"It was indeed successful."

"Oh! That's great." Anna barely squeezed a smile on her delicate face, and she realized that the situation was a little weird. Under the soft flame of the chandelier, he saw the greed in the eyes of John and his entourage.

"Now there is nothing wrong, you go out for the time being. Too many things have happened, I have to calm down. I have to accompany the Countess of Bamburgh." Anna issued an eviction order.

John still had no intention of retreating, he made his entourage to avoid, and invited Anna to go to the hall to discuss the matter secretly~www.mtlnovel.com~Get cash]Follow vx public. Public number [Book Friends Base Camp~www.mtlnovel.com~ You can also get cash!

Anna was startled and suddenly sensed that the situation was very complicated, so she changed her face and asked sharply, "What else is going on."

The corner of John's eyes saw that his work was evasive, and even the maid felt bad and hid.

He boldly stretched out his hand to hit his chest, and was immediately pushed away by the angry Anna.

"presumptuous!"

But John didn't stop, pinching her neck directly, and pulling her to the secret maid dressing room in front of the young Ella.

The oil lamp was lit, and Queen Anna was pressed on a low table. She was yelling, kicking, but the skirt was still being pulled up by John. Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of pain, and Anna directly howled and cried...

John fully knew the identity of this Anna, but she was the daughter of a lower-level nobleman, who was valued by Ernred for her beauty, and was favored for having a boy.

She is still young, but in her early twenties, and because of this, John prides herself on seizing the opportunity.

While working, John approached Anna's face and said sharply to the painful woman: "All your power is given by the ancestor. Who will admit that a child becomes a king? Now I am the captain of the cavalry, and I will do yours. Man, naturally will give you protection. I will be a palace sign."

Anna murmured in crying: "Why do you treat me this way. You don't need such a thing to be a magistrate. You are humiliating me, you might as well kill me."

"No! I'm protecting you. I'm older than you, and I'm more powerful. How can that old man, Ernred, give you the happiness of being a woman? Be my woman, and I'll be Northumbria's King! I will treat Ella as my own son! I will lead the people of Bamburgh to defeat the barbarians! Listen, if I don't stand up, the city will be destroyed in a few days and your son will be destroyed by them. Cut your head off, you will be captured by them, you will be stripped of your robe and tattooed, and you will be **** and sold as a fat sheep. They are more ferocious than the Picts."

After all these threats, Anna hooked her head. She didn't say much, she could only admit her fate.

Suddenly, she felt a hot sensation in her abdomen, and realized that everything could not go back.

The new king is Ella, which is nothing short of a joke. It seems that this John Stockwood is the greatest threat to the royal power. She regrets her dead husband and defended her life from the threat of neighboring countries~www.mtlnovel.com~ The defeat and death in the hands of the barbarians on the sea is even more terrifying. Yes, the real threat of kingship has surfaced!

The threat is not outside, it is inside! In the martial arts cavalry team!

After all, Anna is a woman who knows how to compromise. She immediately knelt on her knees, regardless of her manners, and looked up at John with pleading eyes: "I support you as king, and I will marry you. Just beg, you are as promised. , Regard Ella as your son."

Seeing the woman's tearful pleading, John felt refreshed in his instinct, and he was completely exhausted.

He stroked Anna's neck and said proudly: "Of course, I will canonize Earl Ella. And your children and I are the real princes."

At this moment, Anna's tears wetted John's hand, which caused John to regain his fighting spirit.

He pulled Anna straight to the bedroom.

After the appointed Anna made her son Ella avoid her, she took the initiative to throw away her robes and serve her new man, just like serving the king. She is so proactive and so witty, all she wants is that she and her son can still live as a kingdom aristocrat.
