Chapter 196 4.56 Opening the Seal
In the evening, when the Slavic slaves were full of wine and food and walked into the camp to rest, Loki summoned the elite backbone of his men to gather outside the castle in Gor Marash's former blacksmith shop.
"This is basically what the situation is now."
"The situation was urgent just now. During the conversation with Bakanbusi, I made an improvised response."
After thinking again for a moment, Loki continued to speak, slowly saying
"Tonight, we changed our plan and will not open the door to release the Vikings in the sunken city!"
**
"Judging from the current situation, there are only 10,000 people under Bakanbusi, and all of them are Slavic serfs. On the other hand, according to the calculations made by the Sartre brothers, they have recovered absolutely nothing from the Slavic lands. Most of the Vikings numbered close to 9,000."
"We are not at a disadvantage now in terms of quantity or the quality of our troops. It is not difficult to win this battle."
"But now the valley is in our hands. We have to think about what's next."
In the Middle Ages, the Hall of Valor and the Holy Mountain were the spiritual pillars of the Vikings. In this era, few people can understand new words such as "monopoly" and "drinking blood". Because people in the Middle Ages lived under the squeeze of the two mountains of "lord" and "religion" every day.
They can easily swing their swords to kill poor people of the same class who are as poor as themselves.
But they don't know how to unite and overthrow the mountains above their heads.
Therefore, Loki could not say very straightforwardly to Sartre and several other companions: "I want to deliberately drive Bakan Bush to lead an army to attack our Holy Mountain and Hall of Valor. Let this group of people bring down the Stormbringers." Hack them all to death, and then fish in troubled waters to fish out some magic potion formulas from the Hall of Valor."
Although several companions are very loyal and willing to believe him. But this matter was too treasonous for an ancient person. At this time, Loki was still unable to judge whether these brothers, who had never read a book and could not even read a few characters, could accept the initiative to "rob" their temple when they fell to the ground.
Therefore, he had to change his mind to make them understand his intentions. This is a language art that a mature politician must master.
This kind of language art is called stealing concepts.
"I think we have to think about what happens next."
"If we release all these 9,000 people today and fight the 10,000 Slavic rebels under Bakanbusi in a bloody battle, we can win the final victory, but it can be expected that even if we win, it will be a tragic victory. 9,000 Whether the human troops will survive in the end is half unknown.”
"But what happens after that?"
"We defeated Bakan Bush. The following winter will be our last winter. You know, this year the Slavic King only sent a total of 100 troops from the mainland. All of his capital for the fight was liberated from the Dragon's Breath Plateau. Slavic serfs! We have no way of knowing how many Slavs there are in Slavia.”
"If he unites with the English again next year to make a comeback, I think O'Sullivan will definitely not send troops to assist us!"
"How can the three provinces of River Valley, Dragon's Breath Plateau and Frostfreeze Ridge, which are already in ruins, resist their next round of attacks?"
Rocky's analysis is clear and measured. Sartre and others instantly understood the meaning of his words and frowned.
"So when I heard Bakan Bush say he wanted the Holy Mountain this morning, I felt like we had another chance to live!"
"To attack the Holy Mountain, the four provinces opposite the Tiandu Mountain Range will most likely send troops to increase their numbers. Coupled with the Storm Acolytes stationed in the Hall of Valor and the Storm God's private army, these defenders will greatly consume Bakan. This group of Slavic rebels under Bush's command is not very powerful! We can observe from the rear. When the Hall of Valor is almost unable to hold on, we can open the blood-colored stone statue and complete the harvest."
The seven companions looked at each other in confusion. In the eyes of half of the Vikings, guarding the Holy Mountain and the Hall of Valor on the Holy Mountain was the duty agreed upon by everyone on this continent. After all, Valhalla is the spiritual pillar of all Vikings.
Once the Hall of Valor collapses, where will future Vikings redeem potions and how will they be promoted to the Chosen Ones? These are huge problems.
"There's no way around it."
In desperation, Loki could only continue to add fuel to the fire.
"Bakanbusi and the English jointly invaded our three eastern provinces. Have you ever seen a reinforcement sent from the Hall of Valor to assist in the battle?"
"If we wipe out all the ambush troops in the Sunken City today, and the Slavs continue to invade next year, will the Hall of Valor, which we have worked so hard to save this year, send reinforcements to reinforce our horses?"
"Brothers, you will definitely not!"
"In the eyes of the gods, this little thing in the world is fleeting. We live a long life. From baby to old man, maybe for Odin it is just a blink of an eye, or turning over in his sleep. They live In distant Asgard, there is no time to observe what is happening on our cold land every day.
Our women, children, and even younger brothers and sisters can only be protected by our own hands. "
It is indeed a bit awkward to inculcate atheistic ideas to these brothers on a temporary basis, but Loki clearly understands that taking advantage of the chaos of the soldiers to sneak into the Hall of Valor is probably only once in his life. Once he misses it, he will never be able to stand at the mountain gate and look at the holy mountain and huge buildings inside.
As a Viking, he had no right to force his way into Valhalla.
"I think the boss is right." Sartre replied in a deep voice, "We just took over the Wind's Rest Fortress and became the Lord of the Valley."
"We brothers did not find Gustav Bernard on the land of the Slavs. It is estimated that he has probably died on the land of the Slavs.
"Now we can say that we have completely controlled the province of the Valley. This is an amazing achievement! "
Satyr was an upright young man, and what he wanted to express was almost obvious. Loki only had a few close confidants around him. As long as they followed Loki closely, the four cities of Hanshui Village, Fog Duck Town, Blood Pigeon Town, and Leaping Horse Hill all needed new vassals.
As long as they could hold on to the results of this war, they could immediately turn from commoners to nobles!
For poor hunters in the Middle Ages, being able to become a noble was an overwhelming temptation. Nobility meant territory, army, and a castle that would always belong to their family.
Of course, there was also a high social status.
In the face of such temptations, Valhalla and the Holy Mountain could be put aside for the time being.
After dealing with the inner demons of his brothers, Loki began to write a whistle letter with rather sloppy handwriting.
"My lords of the Storm Gods of Valhalla, I am Loki Starago, the new lord of Storm's End! "
In recent days, I have been lurking in the coalition forces of Bakambusi, and I have risked my life to get crucial clues for you. This Slavic king is actually going to lead a large army to attack our holy mountain!
After a fierce battle with the English navy, the valley no longer has any troops (my father-in-law and his family died in the heroic battle against the English invaders!)
As a devout believer of Odin, the only thing I can do now is to release the raven and contact you urgently. Please be sure to prepare to fight against the Slavic king!
There are nearly 20,000 people in his army!"
After sending out the raven, Loki lay on the bed happily. This practice of others killing people and I stealing chickens made him very happy. He could even imagine that in a few days, Valhalla and Bakambusi would fight each other to a draw, and he would use the bloody stone statue to release the army to easily harvest the scene.
This is the right way to win a battle.
