Rise of Rurik

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

The messenger holding the banner of the kingdom moved tremblingly, and the two priests behind him were more nervous than him.

The priest carried the cross made of black wooden planks, and walked all the way, reciting the scriptures, praying for God's blessing.

They are very worried that their counterparts will not appreciate it.

After all, those guys are barbarians from the sea, and they want to kill when they land, and I hope they can be sent away by giving them a sum of money. As for my own life...

At this moment, the messenger Jacques is very self-blame that he should not make any suggestions. Even if he is a messenger, why should he go there himself?

Seeing three seemingly unarmed personnel approaching the camp, Vikings who were eager for battle jumped out of the built shack and approached them with all kinds of weapons.

Jeflo took the brothers and was ordered to go first, and they easily controlled the visiting trio of messengers.

It is the shame of mercenaries to let suspicious people approach the gold master.

With his brother, he first gave the messenger a few punches to hit it, and then pressed the three of them to the ground, carefully checking whether he had a weapon.

In the end, the three messengers were bound with their hands and kneeled in front of Rurik and the others.

It was seen that the faithful were beaten into panda eyes with blood hanging on the corners of their mouths. Although Paul had voted for the Viking camp, he was still not shocked by the barbaric behavior of these guys.

"Are you stupid?!" Rurik casually asked Paul in a daze.

"No, I'm fine."

"Ask them what they are trying to do."

"Yes! Your lord."

Of course, Paul has a sense of guilt as a traitor. He faces the eight eyes of the three messengers, and the scene is extremely absurd for both parties.

There is a rebellious priest in the enemy camp? A priest betrayed his faith and stood for the barbarians?

The messenger Jacques secretly cursed that this person would go to hell.

However, the messenger came with a mission, and Jacques tried his best to maintain his calmness, like a repeater of unrelenting emotions, repeating the requirements of John the palace.

Listening to Paul's retelling, Rurik not only pinched his chin with golden hair: "Take a sum of money to let us retreat? They really think so. Paul, continue to ask them how much money they can spend? "

Originally, the messenger Jacques had no full confidence in spending money to eliminate disasters. He couldn't imagine that this handsome but brave young boy, who looked like the leader of the barbarians, was very interested in taking the ransom and withdrawing it.

So, how much ransom should be appropriate?

The magistrate John did not give a specific number. Jacques boldly gave a very large number that he thought was tentative.

"Five thousand silver coins. What do you think."

"Five thousand? Fifty pounds?" Rurik felt that Paul's translation was wrong. He ordered the messenger to explain the numbers at a glance, and he listened carefully to the ancient Saxon vocabulary to make sure it was correct.

"A mere five thousand silver coins, just want to send us?" Rurik immediately drew out his gem-encrusted bright white steel sword, and the tip of the sword pointed at the messenger's nose.

"Then ten thousand! This is already a very large number!"

Rurik shook his head, looking extremely impatient. He pouted, and then shouted: "Bring that noble prisoner here."

The messenger still didn't know what was going on, but after a while, a man in hemp clothes was pulled over by a rope.

Along with him, there was a long sword with a ruby ​​on the hilt that was severely bent.

Of course the messenger Jacques had seen King Enred himself, and now he was shocked by the sight in front of him. The whole person opened his mouth wide, as if he had been ill and convulsed, and his throat was sour that he didn't know what he wanted to say.

The real King Ainredtui sat dejected. His emotions were extremely complicated. Although he was cruel in his heart, his anger would only cause blood to ooze from the wound of his severed arm.

People like themselves who have suffered serious arm injuries often die of fever within three or four days, but they have clearly received even more terrible treatment. It has been many days since the battle has ended, and they have no signs of fever, just like this Fate was protected by God.

That being the case, it is not desirable to condone an illness to take one's own life. But now I can't even see the shadow of the illness.

Einred stared at the wooden wall of Bamburgh, and stared into the eyes of the messenger, and there was nothing to say for a while.

Rurik touched the king's dog head casually and said arrogantly: "Your people are going to buy peace with ten thousand silver coins. Is this despising me? I didn't intend to attack the city, but faced this insult..."

Ernred shook his head suddenly, and raised his head to signal: "There is something weird here. Without my authorization, how could anyone give such an order."

Rurik was also a little surprised: "It's strange? You sent the crown to this city. Hasn't your son succeeded as the king?"

"No! It is legal for my son to be crowned king in York. Besides, I am still alive, and I am still the king of Northumbria. You...Vikings, at least give me the courtesy of the king. At least. , I'm on the same level as you."

Einred was protesting against Rurik himself. Indeed, in the context of Western Europe, the title of "principle" held by Rurik is equal to the title of "king".

As soon as the voice fell, Erinred was slapped by Reurik.

"The defeated king, what are you thinking about? Or, the messenger from Bamburgh is here, and you happen to fulfill the promise immediately."

This repeated humiliation by the Vikings, Erinred vowed never to forget, as long as he can escape, his sons will desperately avenge the revenge, but now he still needs to pretend to be grandson to survive.

Einred suddenly and deeply asked the messenger: "Quickly tell me, the situation in the city!"

The messenger Jacques still keeps his mouth open.

"Hurry up and tell me the situation!" Einred yelled. Although his wound was bleeding again, he couldn't care about so much now.

The messenger finally woke up and hurriedly knelt down on his knees, and reported: "It is the magistrate, order me to ask how much money the barbarians can get to leave."

"The prince?! The prince Edward is in York, and I didn't take him at all when I set off."

"New."

"New? Who appointed it?!"

"Yes..." Suddenly, Jacques felt that he had fallen into the huge vortex of court politics. If he said something he shouldn't say, even if the barbarian didn't use an axe to cut himself, he would have to be hanged by the king himself afterwards.

Seeing the messenger's cowardice, Ernred immediately promised: "You boldly say that I want to know the truest situation. Don't worry, you will be rewarded with a sum of money afterwards."

"Ah! Yes! It's the knight John Stockwood. The Queen appointed him as the magistrate of the palace, responsible for the defense of Bamburgh. He gave all orders."

"What? It's him?!"

Following more detailed questions, Ernred learned of a series of huge events in the city in extreme shock. Think about it only two or three days after the end of the defeat, the judge within the kingdom jumped out!

The biggest enemy is not outside the country, but by your side!

Einred held Yin Hong's white linen left arm, trembling and whispering: "I said why you are so resolute and diligent, you are actually coveting my kingship! Anna, you are a dirty whore! John Stockwood, When this matter is resolved, I will execute your family completely!"

Rurik and others have been listening. Although Paul's translation is not very accurate, everyone has heard it very well.

Why should the troubled Vikings of the royal court care?

Of course, as a man, especially as a ruler with wives and concubines who can't be counted now, Rurik felt sorry for the green-hat king for a second.

Rurik immediately got together with several family leaders to discuss new countermeasures to face the new situation.

Bijuni, who has a great say, yelled casually: "It's really unexpected. Someone is proclaiming himself king. This is to fight against us to the end. Leurik, give up fantasy and prepare to fight."

A clan leader yelled: "Unexpectedly, the enemy is still bloody. They actually chose a leader to fight us immediately."

"Bah! Someone makes himself king, and a group of cowards actually admit that an ambitious man is king."

...

They talk about what they say or contempt the chaos of the enemy's camp, and they are also wary of fighting.

"You have an idea, Rurik," Biyunni said.

The focus of everyone was on Rurik, and he did suddenly have a new plan.

According to the plan, Ernred's order was passed to Bamburgh, and they handed over the property, food, and women as agreed. This Viking expedition should be declared over, and the brothers should return home full of loads.

Whether he admits it or not, Rurik is sure he is indeed involved in the chaos of the Northumbrian throne.

What is the low wooden wall of Bamburgh? The siege rush can be done quickly. For example, tomorrow, the brothers will rectify the army, and the rush truck will hit the wooden wall, and then the army will solve the problem of destroying the city.

But wait a minute! Now Ernred’s throne has been taken by an ambitionist. If he helps this guy regain the throne, he should ask for more wealth.

On the other hand, the messenger Jacques told all the news he knew, and of course there were a lot of things to add fuel to the vinegar. Ernred’s unintentional judgment on the authenticity was completely true.

For example, Queen Anna took the initiative to go to bed with the "pseudo palace minister" John, John decided to return to York to be crowned king after defeating the barbarians, John deliberately demoted Prince Ella to a slave and even deliberately killed, and John also took possession of the wife and maid of the Earl of Bamburg wantonly. It ravaged and even seized the gold and silverware of Bamburgh Abbey.

Jacques himself is a grassroots. Just now he swore to support the new king John in the future. Now facing the still-living king Einred, he quickly weaves a bunch of accusations against John.

Ernred was finally occupied in anger, he knew that things had become very tricky.

His aggressive appearance was subconsciously understood by Rurik's mercenaries as an assassination, and his person was firmly controlled.

Rurik, who had already thought about some wonderful countermeasures, could see that Ernred was suddenly angry, and his anger must be aimed at a new target.

Rurik pretends to be a wicked mockery: "King of Northumbria, let me guess! You must be angry, your throne has been smashed by your men."

"Yes! I am really mad! My family, my wealth, and my subjects have all been usurped by that person!"

"So what?" Rurik asked persuasively.

"I want to take back what I lost! I am the king!"

"Really? But the guy in Bamburgh, he is waiting for my response. We want to get wealth. If that guy is going to give more, you say, who is the king and who is the false king?"

"Of course it is me! I am the king of Northumbria! I am the king of Northumbria recognized by the Franks and Roman saints!"

The person was very excited, and Rurik still shook his head: "What does this have to do with me? I only talk to the highest bidder."

Suddenly Ainred understood the meaning, and he hurriedly said: "Help me regain the throne! I will give you more wealth!"

"Really? So, I will help you regain the throne for money?"

"Ah! You...what else do you want?"

Rurik thought for a while. In fact, he wanted the king to establish an alliance under the city, for example, cede a piece of land as a "Viking Law District". After all, the entire Northumbria will also be Danfa District in the future.

This idea is too advanced. The Balmerk Viking army, which I personally led, is a pirate robber no matter how it looks. There is no plan to open up territory and colonize this year.

But it is necessary for Northumbria to be very cooperative and pay a higher price.

Rurik said suddenly: "We must enter the city, and I will promise to protect the lives of the surrenders. We want money and wheat, and we don’t want to capture slaves. However, the young and pure women in the entire city of Bamburgh, we must bring go."

"Ah! What is the difference between your move and the destruction of Bamburgh?!"

Rurik shrugged: "It seems that you still haven't figured out what is at stake. I ask you, do you want kingship or Bamburgh?"

Ernred wanted to say that he wanted it all, but now he really has to make a choice.

He chose the kingship right.

Rurik nodded: "A clever decision. Your soldiers are fleeing everywhere, and we have captured some prisoners. Now the situation has changed, and I plan to rearm your ruined soldiers. That is your kingship. If you don't fight for it, What's the difference between simply helping you with mercenaries? You take your own soldiers to rob, you stand outside the city, call on the soldiers in the city to kill the usurper, and then open the city gate. We will take away what we need. retreat."

At this moment, Ernred knew that he had no power to dare, he could only support.

As night fell, the captured king was relieved of all restraints, and he even put on a worn leather jacket.

After the confiscated broken king's sword, the ruby ​​of the hilt was dug out, the sword body was beaten with a hammer until it was relatively straight and was replaced by him.

Ernred was holding a sword in his right hand~www.readwn.com~Under the night, he saw an army of more than forty defeated soldiers.

They are in the camp of the Vikings, looking to the campfire company!

If he hadn't been in it, he would feel that the enemy's military strength was very large. In all fairness, the enemy's military strength was indeed very high and the combat effectiveness was indeed very strong.

Facing his subordinates, Einred could not say anything impassioned, and he yelled at will: "Tomorrow, I will take you to attack Bamburgh. I will regain my kingship, and the barbaric Vikings promised not to take them again. You are slaves, and I hope the defenders of Bamburgh will not shoot us."

This night, the Viking warriors who were hiding in the forest were observing. They were ordered to light a bonfire around the entire city of Bamburgh. The night concealed their true strength, as if an army of more than ten thousand people surrounded this small town.

In the night, slow-footed soldiers were captured from the forest, and they were twisted to the front of Ernred. People who thought they were a dead end had seen their king unbelievably. They had not figured out the situation before they knew that the king would attack Bamburgh tomorrow. Of course, they don't need to know too much, but it's duckweed in the world, just drifting with the flow.
