Chapter 293 6.41 Negotiation (1)

14 days later, on the other side of the North Sea.

The backward communication means in the Middle Ages made Loki completely unaware of what was happening in his hometown at this time. At this time, he had a bigger trouble to deal with.

Ivar O'Sullivan, the "reinforcement" summoned to Mercia by Archbishop Francis using the "Asgard Portal" as bait, was already sitting in front of him.

The invasion of the Blood Creator a week ago caused a large area of ​​damage to the Wanghai Fortress. If Loki had not made a prompt decision to order all members to go to the expedition, I am afraid that the Blood Creator who suddenly appeared from the blood mist illusion would cause greater casualties.

But even so, he forced the city gate to open and rush out of the castle. Under the layers of traps, crossbows and sniping of Mercian soldiers outside the city, he still lost more than a thousand subordinates.

This is still thanks to the "Sabertooth Mercenaries" who surrounded him from front and back.

The complex corridors of the Wanghai Fortress slowed down the speed of the blood mist. When the night wind blew, the spreading blood mist was still not enough to support the entire body of the Blood Creator to emerge from the blood mist illusion.

If this god broke through the barrier of time and space and appeared intact in the Wanghai Fortress. What would the Kingdom of Mercia look like now, Loki couldn't imagine it at all.

**

The Mercian princess "Elizabeth Elan" sat not far from the two of them.

Through that reckless assassination, she already understood what kind of mistake she had made. However, what surprised her was that even so, Loki did not forget her in the blood mist.

When the blood dripped and the blood mist began to dissipate, his first reaction was to push himself out of the room and let himself save his father.

When all the Viking warriors opened the city gate and charged out of the gate, it was also this lord who walked at the end, protecting himself and his father to escape successfully.

Many Vikings died in the crossbows and traps outside the city.

And all this was because he used the "miracle spell" to open a wound on him.

When the blood mist finally dissipated and the Viking King's troops rushed into the city, Loki not only did not imprison her, but gave her full freedom. The two only made a verbal agreement.

"I know I am a bad person in your eyes. I fully understand that you want to kill me."

"But there are also priorities in eliminating evil."

"Now, a group of real bad people are about to appear in front of us. If we can work together to deal with this big trouble, I can ensure 10 years of peace in Mercia! You can have 10 years of freedom to think about how to kill me!"

In the confused eyes of the Mercian princess, he gently patted her white palm, and the two swore an oath by shaking hands.

From this day on, Elizabeth was no longer a prisoner of the Vikings.

Wearing a linen dress belonging to a maid. She could enter any room at will, and no one would stop her even if she walked out of the castle.

Therefore, when Loki and Ivar met again, she disguised herself as a wine maid, holding a bottle of red wine, standing about 5 meters away from the two.

As for Loki himself, he naturally didn't care. When he said to Ulysses Elan, "From now on, you and I belong to the same team," he was not lying.

In order to obtain a piece of land in the English Isles and prosper, he could not do without the help of the Mercian royal family in all aspects.

If he could kill Ivar with the help of the 7-nation coalition, this would be the most perfect token of his loyalty.

Unfortunately, the combat ability shown by the "Sabertooth Mercenaries" was still far beyond his imagination.

After landing on the shallows of the Kingdom of Northumbria, they burned, killed, looted and fought all the way.

Loki wanted to shrink all his troops in the Seawatch Fortress and use the dense defensive offensive created by Mercian craftsmen around the castle to consume the Viking King's troops. However, Elizabeth's sudden attack disrupted this plan, and he could only pretend to go out of the city to meet.

At this time, the two armies will make. There is a clear disagreement between the two about the next battle plan.

**

"Brother Loki, you are a duke at such a young age. I admire your luck and your courage."

"Young people in their twenties always think that they can chop down all obstacles in the world with the axe in their hands. Little do they know what kind of danger is hidden outside the dark sky!"

Ivar snapped his fingers and pointed to the wine glass in front of him. Elizabeth came over obediently and poured the wine from the bottle.

"You live and grow up in Scandinavia. You don't know how powerful the rulers of the seven countries in England are, and you don't know how terrible Wessex is."

"Otherwise, you would never say such a naive proposal to attack Southampton!"

Squinting his eyes, Loki looked at Ivar who was drinking. Since he met his troops and entered the city, he acted like a king.

Although this is true, Loki never thought of truly treating him as an emperor. He cleared his throat and was about to speak.

Ivar put down his wine glass and interrupted him again.

"There is an old saying among the people of East Land: 'Shoot the horse first before shooting the man.'"

"The seven countries of England seem to be allied now, but in fact they are not united. We have so many different goals to choose from, why do we have to bite the hardest bone?"

"To kill a person, you don't have to wedge an ax into his head. You just need to cut off his limbs. This person will also have no chance of survival!

What we should do now is to concentrate our superior forces and turn around to capture Oxford City! After capturing the city, we massacred the city for three days to give our brothers a good time.

On the other hand, all the property in the city was swept away.

Then, we turned around and headed to East Anglia, and then to East Saxony, burning all the fields and plundering all the nobles along the way! I'm going to make these English people wet their pants whenever they mention the word Viking.

In this way, even if there is only one Kingdom of Wessex left, he will definitely not cause too much trouble first! "

Ivar, who was talking eloquently, seemed extremely calm, but at this time, only he understood the doubts in his heart.

Compared with "old salty dogs" like Duke Bernard and Mr. Hummel who were born and raised in the Viking land, Ivar, who was born in Constantinople, is an outstanding talent who has received formal military training in the Western Continent.

His ability is far beyond what these illiterate Viking natives can match.

During the combat operations this spring, from the moment he learned that Loki was willing to go to England, he knew that he would inevitably be involved in this war.

Therefore, he used his intelligence network to contact Hummel Blood Pigeon who was far away in the Visigothic Free City.

In his battle plan, as long as Mr. Hummel floats across the North Sea in the opposite direction at the right time and digs out Loki's lair in the river valley, this group of seemingly powerful enemies will instantly collapse.

And by that time, I'm afraid I won't reach out to him for the portal key.

He had to stretch out his hands to give himself the Asgard portal, and he might be able to spare his life because of his outstanding strategic talents.

As early as half a month ago, he had learned through Raven that Hummel Blood Pigeon set sail with 3,000 troops.

Such a number of troops crushed the old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind in the river valley. It would be an exaggeration to describe it as devastating.

However, half a month later, Hummel's troops seemed to have melted into the sea, and there was no news at all.

Therefore, he had to passively think about the next step.

How to incorporate this undisciplined Viking lord like a wild wolf into his own army was the first task he had to complete at this time.
