Chapter 337 6.85 The Disappearing Viking King

On the way to Southampton, Loki had already told him that "Mercia" would become his important ally in the English Isles.

This point was also very clear to Mohrandin.

When treating allies, you can't just plunder the children of the lord like you treat a defeated country.

Throughout human history, as long as it comes to alliances, whether between countries, between lords, or even between two farmers, there is only one most effective way.

That is marriage.

"In order to consolidate the alliance between 'Normandy' and 'Mercia', I need Her Royal Highness to marry Loki, the Duke of Normandy."

The Princess of Mercia widened her eyes in horror.

**

In the Bible, the enemy of angels is the devil from hell.

The devil is recorded in many Bible stories, but it is a fictional creature after all. Elizabeth had imagined the appearance of devils in nightmares. They had sheep hooves and horns, and dark red skin, just like the ones drawn in the parchment scrolls.

However, as she followed the Vikings, she discovered for the first time that the devils in the real world were a hundred times more terrifying than she had imagined!

At the wall of Wanghai Fortress, she saw with her own eyes that the "Sabertooth Mercenaries" turned the Kingdom of Mercia into a hell of flames.

In the subsequent attack and defense of Shilin City, when Loki opened the bloody stone statue to release the Viking pirates from the sinking city, the entire city was immediately cleansed.

From 70-year-old elderly people to children aged four or five, almost all died tragically under the butcher knife of this group of robbers.

Later, when attacking the Flying Dragon Mountains, this group of robbers even killed dragons.

The battle that finally took place in the "Stone Helmet Fortress" was more like a real nightmare. If it weren't for the desire to protect her old father who fell into Loki's hands, Elizabeth would have put her hands together and prayed that this group of demons would be killed by another group of demons.

It's a pity that after giving away tens of thousands of lives on the battlefield, it was still this group of extremely cruel Viking robbers who laughed last.

Elizabeth didn't know how many more orphans abandoned by their biological mothers would be in Wessex now.

And how many of these poor orphans would survive the next winter.

**

Executioner!

This man is a cruel and ruthless executioner!

Such a person, still wants to fantasize about me marrying him? !

It's just a dream!

The girl clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to overturn the table and try again to see if she could kill the Viking lord who wanted this and that next to her.

However, at this moment, a cold hand grabbed her wrist.

It was the old father sitting behind him-Ulysses Elan

"My daughter"

"Think more!"

"But"

"Think more!"

Since I can remember, this is the first time that the old father has been angry with me.

This low roar made everyone at the negotiation table focus on me. Feeling the cold sweat in the old father's cold palms, Elizabeth gradually figured out his worries.

For Mercia at this time, cooperating with the Vikings is beneficial and harmless.

They are the only allies of the Vikings, and the Vikings will not attack Mercia at will.

And the Kingdom of Mercia can also take advantage of the other six countries focusing their attention on Loki to develop in a low-key manner.

Now is the time to make sacrifices for this country.

"I saw a king struggling in the 'Lost Domain'. You will stab him, tame him, and finally marry him, become the queen, and complete the mission of all of us."

"You will purify this land together"

She recalled what her mother had said to her in the Church of Light. If what her mother said is true, perhaps only if she becomes the "Duchess of Normandy" can she tame these barbarians in the most direct way.

That's all

Just so that children in future generations can have a childhood without losing their fathers

The girl sat back and nodded gently.

"I will marry."

**

Facing all this, Loki really didn't know what to say in his heart.

His "girlfriend" in this world helped him find a "wife" without his permission. Such a magical thing may only happen to the king.

In the face of power, love affairs are not worth mentioning.

At this time, he could only put his hands together and thank the illusory Lord Christ.

He knew in his heart that with his new territory and new title, he must marry the daughter of Ulysses Elan.

Even if Elizabeth was a sow weighing 200 kilograms, he had to marry her and "do his best" to give birth to healthy offspring.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight" means this.

Fortunately, Miss Elizabeth is still a young and lovely girl. Otherwise, he would probably have to use the "self-green hat method" again and find a gigolo to help him complete this arduous task.

Thank you, Lord Christ.

Thank you!

With the last clause of the negotiation being successfully signed, Loki led his four newly recognized "children" to leave Southampton. Before leaving, Ecbert did not forget to send him to the city gate with the courtesy of a king.

When two armies fight, they must be fair and square.

He fought against the Vikings without declaring war, and Loki fought back openly and squarely, and then defeated him fairly and justly on the battlefield. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to say about this.

In fact, Loki has many ways to make Ecbert miserable.

For example, after winning, he allowed his troops to plunder along the way.

From Stonehelm Fortress to Southampton, there are at least 6 large cities along the way, but he didn't even enter them.

For example, he asked for a lot during the negotiation.

At this time, Wessex had no dragons and no army. No matter what he wanted, Ecbert had to obey.

But even in the negotiation, he was very restrained and conservative.

All the losses of Wessex were only one province, tens of thousands of gold pounds, and a prince. In previous years, Wessex fought against other countries and started civil wars, and Ecbert wanted more than these after winning the other side.

From this negotiation, it seems that this man does not want to wipe the other 6 countries off the map.

At least he has no such idea for the time being.

On the other side, Loki looked at Ecbert and expressed his respect. As a lord, he has insight, courage, and responsibility. Even now, the flame of ambition still flashes in his eyes.

This man has not yet admitted defeat in this hegemony.

It is undeniable that this is also a hero in troubled times.

"I will treat your son well and teach him everything I have."

"At the same time, my door is always open to you if you want to visit Normandy at any time."

Under the city gate, the two shook hands and bowed to say goodbye.

This "national war" that lasted from spring to summer was basically declared over.

**

After leaving the castle, Loki was surprised to find that there were less than 20 people left in Bakambusi's team. He not only admired the Slavic king's "free-range" skills more and more.

Faced with this situation, Bakambusi was obviously used to it.

"Haha, don't pay attention to them."

"After staying at home for a long time, you always have to go out and take a breath. When you are comfortable, the puppies will come back naturally. Let alone this heat, we, the group of people from the 'permafrost', can't stand it at all."

In the summer of the English Isles, the temperature is close to 25 degrees. At the same time, snowflakes are still floating in the sky of Murmansk. The Slavic king has long been unable to stand this weird weather for him.

But in order to enter Asgard earlier, he still shamelessly followed Loki.

Compared with the Slavic king, Loki obviously had more important things to worry about. At this time, the war was over, and it seemed that he had won a great victory.

But don't forget that there is still a group of saber-toothed mercenaries hiding in the English Isles.

This made him quite worried.

Before the war, he had stared at Archbishop Francis and asked him to help him keep an eye on the orientation of the saber-toothed mercenaries at all times.

He firmly believed that Archbishop Francis must have conveyed communications to him.

But he never expected that the god "Mist Caller" would appear.

In the more than ten days in Stonehelm Fortress, there was almost no time when pure white fog was no longer permeated here. In this case, the ravens commonly used by the Vikings for communication could not find the target at all.

From the content of the last communication between the two, he knew that the saber-toothed mercenaries were stationed in Cheshire, the Kingdom of Northumbria, and then they never set off again.

This was in line with his expectations of O'Sullivan.

This old guy must want to do the same as Hummel Blood Pigeon in the defense of Hanshui Village, waiting for Loki and Ecbert to fight until they are out of ammunition and food before entering the field to reap the harvest.

Frankly speaking, when the Viking Slavic coalition and the 40,000 Wessex Central Army finally entangled together, if the "Sabertooth Mercenaries" had arrived in time, they would have had the opportunity to kill everyone.

But until the end, they did not show up.

When the negotiations began, Loki learned that the "Sabertooth Mercenaries" had all withdrawn from the Kingdom of Northumbria.

This behavior is not in line with Ivar O'Sullivan's personality.

Even if he did not intend to kill Loki, he took advantage of the emptiness of Wessex's national strength to plunder the town and bite off a big piece of fat meat.

How could he go home?
