The door was kicked open by Rhodes, the Lord of Blackhammer Castle who was as strong as an ox. In front of him, there was a scene of decadent enjoyment——
More than twenty Norscan raiders were sitting in the main hall of the castle, enjoying a sumptuous meal. Sitting in the middle was the Norscan pirate Celta, who had her legs propped up on the table and a large mutton chop in one hand.
, gnawing roughly. The Norscan raiders beside him grabbed the greasy chicken legs and stuffed them into their mouths.
The other two Norse warriors were reclining on stone chairs, drinking wine stored in the castle cellar. Others were tearing up the meat in their hands and stuffing it into their mouths.
Rhodes barged in without warning, which shocked all the Norscans. Before they could even get up, they were slapped on the table by Rhodes. All the food they had not swallowed in time was squeezed onto their faces, including greasy chicken legs.
Squashed and smeared all over the Norscan raider's face.
When another pirate saw this, he wanted to resist angrily, but as soon as he pulled out the ax, Rhodes grabbed his wrist. There was a sound of bones being broken, and Rhodes pulled the Norscan pirate's wrist with one hand.
Broken into fractures...
Setar stood up from the chair, and as soon as he drew his weapon and prepared to resist, he was punched in the face by Rhodes. Broken teeth and blood spurted out from his mouth, and he spat on the floor.
When he tried to get up again, he was punched again by Rhodes, almost knocking him unconscious.
With such a rude appearance, the entire Norscan audience fell silent.
They didn't expect that their leader would come back so soon, and they didn't expect that his leader would suppress them in such a brutal way as soon as he appeared...
They wanted to quibble, but Rhodes was one step ahead, grabbed Celta with a bloody head, and dragged him to the center of the castle hall. Then he raised his voice and said loudly——
"A month ago, you begged me on that cargo ship to take you in and be your king. I promised you and took you under my banner. I regard you as my brothers, and I will fight with you as soon as possible if we have wine or meat.
You share. However, just one month later, when I was not in Blackhammer Keep, you began to plunder and idle."
"Am I sorry for you? Am I wronging you? Norscan raiders, tell me!"
Rhodes roared loudly. No one in the audience dared to say a word. They all listened to their leader's lectures with their heads broken and bleeding, and the Norsca Raider who had his face stuffed with food by Rhodes was even more embarrassed to clean up his own.
Spread the chicken pieces off the face.
"You are all warriors selected from a hundred. You are all wolves from the north. A warrior, a ferocious northern wolf, should fight in the most dangerous places and challenge the most powerful enemies, instead of bullying the weak here and occupying the mountains.
King, tell me, how many innocent people have you bullied here?!"
Standing among the Norscans, Rhodes roared loudly like a giant bear. Everyone looked at him and did not dare to say a word. Even the knights and servants outside the door did not dare to enter. This was a place belonging to Rhodes and Norscans.
A separate meeting of the Norscan raiders. He had to teach them a lesson. In fact, before coming here, Rhodes had investigated clearly what this group of Norscans were doing in the city and collected a large amount of evidence. Proof
This was not a frame-up, nor was it deliberately fabricated by Virgil and others in the city to oppose the Norscan invasion. Those plunders and bullying did indeed exist.
"I'm really ashamed of you. You beat and kicked a farmer and robbed him of his rations because he didn't pay rations. You were jealous of a miner because he worked harder and gained more, so you robbed him of his labor this month.
Do you think this is what a strong man should do? Let me tell you, this is a coward! Only a coward will bully those who are weaker than him."
Rhodes's roar echoed over and over again in the bleak castle hall. Those Norscans gradually put down their weapons. If you choose this person to be your king, you must obey him. Unless someone among you can challenge him,
Defeat him, or shut up. And now, these Norscans know that no one among them has the ability to compete with the White Bear Lord.
Strength determines everything. Although Rhodes came in and beat them up, in the eyes of the Norscans, this is the most correct way to solve the problem. If you don't accept it, beat them until you accept it. This is their
Code of conduct and worldview. And Rhodes fully "respected" their worldview.
After Rhodes finished speaking, the guards from Blackhammer Castle finally rushed in. They were fully armed and stared nervously at the outsiders. The sunlight filtered into the room through the gaps in the windows, reflecting the long and thin shadows.
"Now, voluntarily hand over your stolen goods, hand over all the plundered things, and return them to the people of Blackhammer Castle. At the same time, I must punish you. Severe punishment!"
Rhodes said loudly.
The atmosphere at the scene was suffocatingly quiet. No one knew what these bandit-like Norscans would do next. They stared at Rhodes for one second, two seconds, three seconds... To outsiders, this seemed like
They were dissatisfied and confrontational, but in Rhode's view, they had completely submitted.
Finally, Setar Ike was the first to stand up and return the property he had plundered. He covered the wound on his head and dropped a bunch of silver coins on the stone table. The silver coins were still stained with blood.
, it was the place that had just been broken by Rhodes, and blood seeped out, staining the coins red.
Soon, the second Norscan raider handed over his stolen goods. The ill-gotten gains were slowly piled on the table. From the beginning to the end, Rhodes stopped chewing.
It was not until the twenty-five Norscan raiders handed over all their loot that Rhodes led them out of the castle hall. The punishment would be carried out individually, using Norscan methods.
As for the method, no one knows. Rhodes will not let them know. He just told the residents of Blackhammer Castle that he would take them to make up for the damage caused to them by the Norscans.
