Chapter 268 6.16 Ulysses Elan (2)

It is conceivable that if he led a large Viking army to attack the imperial city of Oxford,

All 6,000 wives and children are dead, and the powerful Chosen One with strong hatred will immediately cause a bloody disaster!

They will be even more ferocious than the Slavic serfs who invaded the Viking castle last year!

If this really happens, Loki may still be able to occupy the land of Mercia, but the days that follow will be extremely difficult.

If the Vikings wanted to reproduce, they would go to the homes of English people, kill the men, and steal the women, as they had done for hundreds of years.

Like the Mongols who occupied the Song Dynasty, they would always regard themselves as guests of this land. For the master's things, if you can, grab them; if you can't grab them, kill them and steal them again!

Maybe they can survive in this state for 50 years, or with better luck, 100 years.

But what's the use?

There are nearly 1 million English households living in the 7 countries!

Once trapped in the vast ocean of the people, even if everyone is a god, the Vikings who forced their way in as bandits will one day either be assimilated or eliminated.

If this martial and suffering people want to settle down in this rich land, Loki must find a reason for them to live here in peace.

And this reason must first start with "not causing innocent killings."

Even if you kill, try not to kill the civilians of Mercia.

At least the Mercians must understand that the Vikings who came to the islands this time are different from the group of madmen who burned, killed and plundered last year.

Compared with them, we are still outsiders armed with weapons to seize your territory.

But at least we are still human beings.

In this way, they gave some of the vast wasteland to the Vikings, and naturally they would not have extreme resentment in their hearts. In the future, the Viking people who took root on this land would inevitably have many interactions with them, such as marriage, trade and so on.

This can also minimize the resentment from the public.

Loki is a time traveler. In his last life, he learned a lot about the history of the world, and he also deeply understood the unforgettable hatred that the people of the Red Country had for Benzi.

The "Three Guangs Policy" of terror, coercion and massacre was very effective in the short term, but for a large country with a population base that could crush the Vikings.

In the long run, this approach is not advisable.

But if you want to instill this kind of thought into the mind of a Slavic hunter like "Graul" who doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, it can't be explained clearly in a few words.

During the time Graal spent with the Vikings, he recognized himself as a ferocious pirate. Landing on English land and burning, killing and looting casually seemed to him to be the purpose of this spring raid.

His brain couldn't understand what he said about "family and country ideals" and "sustainable development."

Therefore, just like last year, he wanted to persuade Sartre to lead the Slavs to attack the Holy Mountain. This year, he will also reject Gulaul's proposal in a way that is easier for them to understand.

"Graul, my brother."

"Last year you lived in seclusion in the 'Misty Duck Town' for the whole year and almost completely missed the battle when the English besieged Hanshui Village. You have never seen their flame-breathing dragon, so you don't understand the horror of this creature at all."

"The reason why we occupied Wanghai Fortress was to rely on the dragon-killing ballista on the city wall to kill their dragon knights!"

"If you leave the city without permission, I can guarantee that countless dragon knights and moa knights will be waiting in the sky. On the other hand, we can't even gather 50 mature archers in our army.

Not to mention trying to fight the dragon with ground troops!

We need to rely on this city to destroy at least part of their air forces first, so as to create a safer marching environment.

After all, I took you across the North Sea to pursue a better life, not to let you die here! "

After sending Gulaur away with a few words, Loki waved away everyone.

Before leaving, he asked his men to close all the doors and windows of the entire meeting hall, and everyone was on standby outside.

**

After handling everything, he walked to the side of King Ulysses Elam of Mercia again, moved a table, and took out a food basket containing bananas, apples, cooked eggs, and bread.

"Old man, if I can, I really don't want to treat you like this. So, as long as you don't attack or resist, I won't put shackles on him and restrict your personal freedom."

Judging from his age, the old man in front of him was at least 70 years old.

His beard is gray and his face is lined with ridges. The height of nearly 1.8 meters has been eroded by the years, and now it is inevitable to be hunched over. A pair of big hands with thick joints will even tremble slightly uncontrollably when receiving the food bag.

However, Loki keenly observed that all the weaknesses of the old man in front of him seemed to come from his age. The fatigue, weakness, and even trembling he showed were all caused by his old body.

When he looked back with his eyes, there was no fear in his clear eyes. Instead, it was as if he was facing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Little brother, I had expected that you would land in England again, but I really didn't expect that you would exterminate a group of gods and successfully seize the portal they controlled!"

"Combined with last autumn, the whole western continent was crazy about the news that the holy mountain of the 'O'Sullivan family' had been conquered by you."

"You should have found a more powerful divine power!"

Almost everyone in the whole western continent knew the slightly insulting name of "honest man" Elan. The learned Jerome told Loki that the origin of this nickname was because when all countries were doing their best to develop their military forces and armies, the king of Mercia formed an alliance with almost all the countries he could think of.

During the tenure of Ulysses Elan, there had never been any war in the Kingdom of Mercia. This king neither expanded the territory nor had the desire to dominate the world.

In his heart, there was only the word "people's livelihood".

In order to develop people's livelihood, he even personally picked up a hoe and led the people of Mercia to reclaim the uncultivated wasteland.

Walked into the factory and studied the technology of shipbuilding with his ministers.

After collecting the land tax, he sold it to his allies at half the market price, with full weight and no deception.

After expanding the scope of trade, he vigorously developed the shipbuilding industry.

After thirty years of development, the Kingdom of Mercia had the best ships in the entire Western Continent.

If Hummel Blood Pigeon had not appeared on the land of the Kingdom of Mercia without warning, Ulysses Elan could have relied on the fleet to do business throughout the entire Western Continent in a few decades.

Residents of all countries in the Western Continent can eat high-quality wheat, fruits and cheese produced from the Mercian Plain.

In Elan's plan, when all countries rely on him, his subjects are naturally safe. However, he never expected that the Viking pirates who never crossed the west to plunder would land on his land without warning.

Another lesson brought by this group of pirates is that the allies he once thought were very reliable would not send a single soldier to rescue him when he was really in trouble!
