Chapter 262 6.10 Hummel Blood Pigeon's Plan
10 minutes later, when Bishop Francis, who was swallowing bread and salted fish, was escorted to the captain's room, there was another uninvited guest on the ship besides the English.
Hummel Blood Pigeon of Blood Pigeon Town was also on the flagship of the Northumbrian Navy.
Last year, although he also plundered one or two towns in Northumbria, compared with Mercia, which was deeply ravaged, the plunder suffered by Northumbria was much "mild".
Unable to board the Mercian Navy's ship, he could only "condescend" to sit on the slightly smaller flagship of Northumbria. However, he did not expect that after only a dozen days of following them to sea, he encountered a long ship from the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Hummel narrowed his eyes and began to watch Bishop Francis' performance.
"Big men in the navy, don't you remember me after just one year?"
"I am Father Francis from Lindisfar Abbey!"
"Haha"
"I'm waiting for you!"
Accompanied by a low laugh. Captain Orwell smoked a cigarette and gave his subordinates a knowing look.
Forgot who, the navy of Northumbria will never forget this fat priest like a ball! Everyone clearly remembers that before the expedition last year, he humiliated the navy of Northumbria in front of Ayler III.
A group of Viking pirates landed under their noses, entered Lindisfar Abbey to rob, and then slipped away from their noses
Speaking out this kind of thing is indeed a disgrace to the navy, but after all, everyone is a "colleague" eating from the same pot. Others don't understand the principle of being generous to others, but you, a holy bishop, don't understand it?
"You must learn to forgive others", this is what you learned in the books of the church school!
Every sailor in Northumbria can't forget the arrogant look of the old priest last year. However, this moment is not the same as that moment. In the open sea, Bishop Francis fell into the hands of the navy alone
Now is the perfect time for revenge.
"You, you, and you all get out"
Captain Orwell stretched out his finger and pointed at several subordinates around him. The subordinates left obediently. Everyone knew that when the grumpy captain sent others away and rolled up his sleeves, he would turn into a beast.
Old man Hummel also nodded slightly and left the captain's room.
After leaving, he did not go into the cabin, but came to the end of the ship.
Here, he saw the Viking longship being pulled back by a rope!
At this time, the "Fire-Bearing Gang" in Wind's End, who were good at collecting intelligence, had been eradicated. As the only person who could search for intelligence from the river valley through Viking secret agents, he now held a secret that only he knew!
In Loki's hands, there was a "portal" that could hide thousands of troops!
Last year, he sent Satyrs into Slavia, took all the Viking pirates wandering in the wasteland into the portal, and released them after returning to Scandinavia.
This was almost an open secret among the Vikings, because as many as 9,000 Viking pirates had entered the "Water City"!
However, the Vikings knew this secret, but the English did not.
When they could not buy intelligence from the intelligence dealers of the "Zoroastrianism", they still naively believed that the Vikings wanted to cross the sea, and there was only one way.
The sun was slowly setting in the sky. Before the darkness enveloped the sea, old man Hummel was staring at the empty longboat at the stern with his sharp eyes.
The young man of the Starrag family is smarter than the monkeys in the mountains! After last year's battle, he must have seen clearly that the longboat could not compete with the ramming ship on the seabed!
If I were him, I would definitely use the same trick again, put all the Viking warriors into the portal, transport the portal to the other side through an inconspicuous target, and then open the portal to release everyone!
If I am right, this Bishop Francis is used to attract the attention of the navy on the ship.
They must have other people, either hiding at the bottom of the ship or hiding on the deck
Old man Hummel looked at the not-so-thick hemp rope in front of him and gently pulled out the hand axe he carried with him.
Do you want to cut the thin rope in front of you with an axe to let the longboat break away from the pull of the flagship?
In this way, no matter how the boy from the Starrag family hides the portal, in the empty North Sea, he has no water, no food, and no land. If he tries to force the portal open on the longboat, the violent space energy will instantly tear the thin longboat apart.
He and the portal will fall under the sea together!
No matter what choice he makes, he will die in the sea!
After hesitating for a long time, Hummel Blood Pigeon did not make a move.
Loki's death is in the interests of the kings of England, but is it really in his own interests?
Without a doubt, it is not!
Because he never thought of being a running dog for these bloated yellow-haired guys!
The goal of old man Hummel's lifelong struggle is to become the Duke of the Valley. At the moment, what is most in his interest is to let Loki land on the land of the English, and then let them break out in a bloody battle!
When the war breaks out, he can negotiate with Ecbert on the spot, asking him to pay money, food, and even send troops, so that he can cross the North Sea in the opposite direction and raid Loki's base camp!
This is a brilliant strategy that kills three birds with one stone.
First, when Loki attacks England with all his money, his rear must be empty. He can take the river valley without any effort.
Secondly, he can blackmail Ecbert of Wessex, pretend to be a savior, and blackmail him a lot of money!
Finally, what everyone doesn't know at this time is that all of Mr. Hummel's actions at this time have been instructed by the Viking royal family "O'Sullivan Family"!
From his approach to Ecbert and his request for assistance to everything that has happened so far, the O'Sullivan family has actually been behind him!
As early as last year, when Loki uprooted the Holy Mountain, the O'Sullivan family knew that this man must not be kept. But now late autumn has passed and winter has arrived.
The Scandinavian Peninsula in winter is not suitable for any combat operations. So Ivar let him go for now.
But the Viking king was not idle.
Being able to successfully sit on the throne of the Viking king at the age of 28, Ivar O'Sullivan can almost be called the most successful businessman in Scandinavia.
Through the brief gambling game in the Conqueror's Fortress, he has seen that Loki is a gambler with a heavy gambling habit.
After surviving this cold winter, he will definitely find a way to continue invading England.
And Ivar's response was to send a raven to contact Hummel Blood Pigeon, who was far away in the Free Trade City.
Knowing that he had the support of the O'Sullivan family behind him, the old man Hummel, who was already as panicked as a dog who had lost his home, was overjoyed.
He knew that as long as he was obedient, he could take the position of the Duke of the Valley with confidence!
At this time, Loki, who went to sea to fight, would be caught in a situation of being attacked from both sides and isolated.
His subordinates would have no intention of fighting, and he himself would be surrounded by the English!
Maybe my stupid son and daughter-in-law killer will not agree with me doing this, but haha.
In the game of power, there is no such brotherhood!
The boy from the Starrag family does have a good relationship with our family, but we have saved his life after all! In the defense of Hanshui Village, if we hadn't passed on information to him, he would have died long ago!
When they sit on the position of lord and enjoy the sweetness of power, maybe they will understand the good intentions of my old father.
