Chapter 386 7.40 Decision

Once you embark on the road to power, you will either win or die.

Only by truly sitting in the position of a monarch can he realize the truth hidden behind this sentence.

The road to power is never a one-man show.

When you want to cultivate and recuperate, powerful neighboring countries must also be aware of the danger, and they will do everything possible to eliminate the budding enemy.

This is the nerve that beats every monarch at all times.

In the river valley, Hanshui Village showed some potential, and Duke Bernard immediately led the army to attack.

At this time, the "Normandy Region" was not even an ant in front of the Principality of France. But an ant that may cause commotion is better to be trampled to death than released.

Since the ants have given this opportunity, why not take a step?

"Adoptive father, am I overreacting?"

After the guests left, Alfred approached Loki and asked.

"No." Loki said solemnly. Five months later, he was forced to accept the slightly older title of "adoptive father" just because of Alfred's deep-rooted habit.

"You did the right thing!" Loki patted his shoulder and took the blood ax from his hand.

“We must be familiar with politics and war, so that our descendants will have the opportunity to study mathematics, philosophy, and business; our descendants must study mathematics, philosophy, and business

“Their descendants were able to learn painting, poetry, music.”

"War is the inevitable path for every monarch."

"But there is one thing you still need to pay attention to." When the topic changed, Loki turned his head and looked directly into his adopted son's eyes. "I asked you to follow Buchan Bushi to learn how to fight monsters."

"I'm not asking you to learn his life-threatening skills!"

"In the future, you will be the king of Wessex. When the burden of the entire country rests on your shoulders, you must first learn how to protect yourself!"

"But my adoptive father, during the two 'Hanshui Village Defense Battles', weren't you?"

"My situation is different from yours!" Loki interrupted him mercilessly, "Two years ago, my village had only a little over a hundred people. If you want to survive, everyone must take up arms and fight!"

"I have no choice!"

"But you have a choice!

"There are thousands of troops following you! There is no need for you to rush to the front alone."

"If you die, everyone on this land may have to continue groping in the darkness for hundreds of years before the next ray of light appears."

**

After saying goodbye to Alfred and returning to her bedroom, Elizabeth, with her pregnant belly, had fallen into a deep sleep. Loki stroked the long golden hair on the back of her head and couldn't help but look at the blood ax in his hand.

One force can defeat all tricks.

At this time, war is the most powerful way to break the situation.

Regardless of whether there is the shadow of the Illuminati behind France, they now clearly want to use their moral commanding heights to squeeze the increasingly powerful English.

In the Middle Ages, not to mention the video recorder, even the phonograph would not be invented until thousands of years later. In this era, there is no so-called "evidence" in a trial.

Individuals who stand on the moral high ground can use all methods to win a trial.

If you go to Paris, you will most likely be killed in this city.

But looking at it on the other hand, can Normandy continue to fight a war at this time?

Absolutely not.

Last spring, the invasion of the English had already brought all the troops in the three provinces together to gamble on the fate of the country.

He gritted his teeth and managed to collect 6,000 Vikings.

However, after a war, there were less than 2,000 veterans able to fight in the territory. To use a saying that often appears in history books: "A whole group of people in the three provinces were wiped out."

The 2,000 troops sent to the Principality of France were not even enough to fill the gap between the teeth.

You know, the sheer land area of ​​this country is comparable to three English islands!

The population is more than ten times.

Faced with the dilemma, he felt hot and depressed. Walking to the bed, he opened the window sash and let the cold night wind blow into his chest.

This spring, the carpenter Sangji also died.

Looking back carefully, out of the 11 brothers who initially traveled west to England with him from Hanshui Village and entered the Sleeping City, only two are still alive.

They are all playmates who grew up together.

Some of them died at the hands of Old Walder, some died from drinking the rotten potion, some died in the battle with Wessex, and some died from the spear thrown by the Cyclops.

One general's success will cause all bones to wither,

The ancients never deceived me.

Elizabeth, who was curled up on the bed like a cat behind her, felt the cold wind and shivered twice involuntarily. After 3 months of pregnancy, her belly was already slightly bulging.

The life-loving girl sleeps sideways with her hands on her belly every day. I was afraid that any movement would wake up the fetus in my belly.

"Husband" she whispered softly in her sleep. Although his eyes were still closed, his white hands stretched out towards Loki.

Loki held it gently and sat next to her.

"I dreamed that my son would grow up and become a hero who would save the world!"

From the moment she noticed the first fetal movement, the girl firmly believed that she was carrying a baby boy in her belly.

"Dear, how was the journey?"

"It went very smoothly, my lady." Elizabeth's eyes were still closed, and a peaceful smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, as if she was very satisfied with everything around her now.

Under Loki's special care, no one told her about the massacre in Yun Province.

"My mother came a few days ago. This is the first time I have seen her in a whole winter."

"My mother summoned the red-robed monks to pray for me. They gave me a bead to eat. I feel very sleepy these days."

"But our child is getting healthier and healthier! I can feel that his limbs are very strong."

Elizabeth leaned over softly, stretched out her two snow-white arms and leaned on him.

"After fighting for so many years, I can finally rest for a while."

"Promise me, don't leave again, okay?"

Elizabeth said these words in a daze, like a dream, her long eyelashes flickered, but she never opened her eyes.

Loki gently kissed his wife's arm and adjusted a more comfortable sleeping position for her.

He pinched his brows gently and made a decision in his heart.

"I may have to go to Paris in a few days."

"Nothing special, just to discuss the next business. I will be back in a few days."

"Do you need anything?"

At this point, Elizabeth on the bed finally opened her eyes, she opened her arms, and lay on Loki's back like a docile cat.

"I want a necklace."

"Mr. Simedis, the bone spirit craftsman, made it himself!"

Hearing this, Loki couldn't help but laugh.

It is said that women are very sensitive animals. Elizabeth must have secretly discovered that there seemed to be a little bit of unusual relationship between herself and Mehrandin.

When the war was over, the whole city was teleporting Guraul to break through with the necklace and look for Mehrandin to bring reinforcements.

The girl naturally remembered it in her heart.

"Okay."

"What else do you need?"

"Nothing."

"Just come back early."

After saying that, the pregnant girl could no longer control her deep sleepiness, and she lay down and breathed evenly. Loki stroked her long hair, and then reached out to stroke her belly

The battle really can't be fought anymore.

The reason why Elizabeth could truly accept a foreigner like her within 5 months is directly related to the fact that all refugees and orphans in Mercia were properly handled.

If I were to be aggressive

Let's not talk about whether I could defeat the powerful Duchy of France.

How to face the people of Normandy, the English farmers and workers who had just had a few days of full meals, and how to face Elizabeth who knew the truth, these are all huge troubles.

Turning his head to look at his young wife, he reached out and pulled the goose down quilt over her body and gently covered her body.

**

After getting married, he found that Elizabeth was also a person with a lot of mysteries hidden all over her body.

The biggest mystery came from her mother.

Through the communication with his father-in-law Ulysses Elan, the old man only secretly pointed out that this woman appeared alone from the sea about 30 years ago.

After entering the Kingdom of Mercia, she performed various miracles and successfully became the saint of the Kingdom of Mercia.

However, this "saint" who blesses the kingdom is sometimes effective and sometimes not, everything depends on preference.

The invasion of Blood Pigeon Town two years ago and the swarm of "sabertooth mercenaries" last spring almost turned the Kingdom of Mercia into a scorched earth.

Diorena sat steadily in the church of Oxford City and never appeared.

However, 5 years ago, when Iphitus Bloodqin led his scarlet apostles across the border and secretly entered the Kingdom of Mercia, Diorena performed miracles to illuminate half of the sky at night.

Iphitus immediately fled away and never mentioned this matter since then.

Ulysses often showed a fearful expression when mentioning this name. Extremely mysterious, and this mysterious mother-in-law didn't even attend their wedding. Loki hasn't even seen her since they got married.

If you think about the miraculous spells Elizabeth can cast at will

Loki reached out and gently stroked his wife's belly.

Is the child in her belly really a "human"?
