On the other side, Alfred led Ella's troops to a forest outside the city. From here, you can see the fire or smoke of Zealand City. Alfred had previously ambush his troops here.
, and then suddenly appeared under the city of Upland.
From the momentum along the way, Alfred could feel that Sealand's troops were much braver than his navy. This made him feel reassured. However, the pirates in Sealand were obviously unwilling to obey Alfred's orders.
command.
"In the next few days, we will rest here. In order to prevent Ragnar from escaping, we will set up fine traps in this forest like spiders weaving webs. Of course, I hope these traps will never
There’s an opportunity to make a difference.”
Before Alfred finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "Even if the Shield Girl is not here, there are many people here who can take her place. Why should we listen to the command of a foreigner like you?"
——Actually, Ella is also a foreigner, but these pirates have completely forgotten about it.
"I understand how you don't trust me, but an army must be commanded by someone. If any of you think you can replace me..."
Ella did not leave Alfred with an adjutant who was enough to control this group of pirates - in fact, Ella could not find such an adjutant to help Alfred. So if Alfred could not control this group of pirates,
A group of pirates will turn this army into a mess.
"It is not the turn of the Anglo-Saxons to be commanded by anyone! Cowards of England! Get out of our sight!"
The pirates' yells and curses silenced Alfred's voice again.
Alfred's expression became more and more ugly, and he suddenly put his hand on the Lake Sword at his waist, but considering the alliance with Ella, he did not pull out the sword.
Although the several knights behind him also had stunned expressions, they did not dare to act without Alfred's order.
Looking at the hesitant Alfred and his party, the pirates burst into laughter again: "Mother-in-law, if you want to duel, hurry up, if you don't dare, just put your hands down!"
The air was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder. Although England's culture was not as wild as this group of northern tribesmen, insulting the honors of nobles and knights was equally unbearable.
Just when the conflict between the two sides was about to break out, noisy voices suddenly came from a distance, mixed with the collision of metal weapons and armor.
Alfred immediately turned around and ran towards the direction where the sound came from. When he turned around halfway, he saw everyone following him in a clatter.
"What are you all doing here! Do you want to fight Ragnar right now! Please understand that this plan was not only proposed by me, but also the meaning of the purple robe!"
After hearing Alfred mention Ella, the pirates finally became more honest. Most of them stayed where they were, and only a few of the most ferocious pirates who had just shouted ran over with Alfred.
They used trees to hide themselves and slowly approached the source of the sound - it was indeed a marching army. Their number was about a hundred. Judging from the direction, they came from Westmanland and were heading to Uppland.
.
Westmanland is where Ragnar was besieged by Hestein.
The pirates exchanged words in a low voice: "Boss Hestein is really powerful. He defeated Ragnar so quickly, and only a few of Ragnar's men were left after the defeat."
"So many people? Please clarify the situation for me!" Alfred shouted in a low voice, "Don't you see it? Their formation is neat! Their weapons and armor are also well worn! The flags are also
There is no damage! Everyone is in high spirits! This is not a unit that has lost a battle!"
Just as the pirates looked at each other, the general of the army walked past them. He had red hair and red eyes, and his armor was decorated with red ornaments. He looked like a burning fire. His expression was serious.
, with murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was planning some upcoming battle. The intimidating feeling from the elf-level protection could not stop emanating from him, which was frightening.
"Another elf-level protector, is this Ragna? But he is too young, and he feels much younger than Halfdan..."
Alfred was still thinking there, and the pirates beside him almost jumped up - because the young general was none other than Bjorn!
Since the enemies Sealand faced in this war were all Bjorn's father and brothers, Hestein tied up Bjorn from the beginning. He originally wanted to keep Bjorn in Sealand, but he
Worried that no one in Zealand could keep an eye on Bjorn, he tied up Bjorn and followed the army all the way.
Why does Bjorn appear here at this time?
Alfred heard the pirates asking each other: "Do you know any of the people who are following Leader Bjorn?"
All the answers are negative. In other words, the army following Bjorn now is not from Hestein - then, it can only be from Ragnar.
A terrible conjecture emerged in everyone's consciousness, but no one wanted to say it out - Hestein was defeated with a huge advantage, and the winner of the battle of Westmanland was the 'King of Heroes'.
'Ragnar Lodbrok.
Alfred noticed that a pirate next to him had drawn his weapon and quickly grabbed his right hand. Another pirate with a bad temper wanted to rush up and ask what was going on. Alfred freed a hand and grabbed it.
He grabbed the pirate's shoulders and rolled him to the ground, then half-kneeling and pressed him firmly with his knees.
The two pirates desperately tried to break free from Alfred's control. The former pirate desperately tried to pull Alfred's left hand away, and the latter pirate used all the strength of his limbs to pull Alfred's left hand away.
Stand up under pressure.
However, Alfred's hands were like pliers and his knees were like a mountain. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not get rid of Alfred's restraints.
"You'd better make it clear that my title of King of Knights was not obtained through aristocratic etiquette."
Alfred glared and scolded the two pirates.
"Then, you'd better find out one more thing - the person staying in Upland City is the purple robe, the shield maiden, and your Valkyrie! She will definitely find a way to win. What you have to do is cooperate
her, instead of causing trouble for her!"
After hearing what Alfred said, the two pirates finally stopped resisting.
"King of England," the pirate asked, sighing, "what shall we do?"
