It was probably a few days ago. After Egil and the system elves discussed the so-called Viking Pirates and Merchant Ships, Egil was also cheated again for this - but after that, light crossbow warships equipped with scorpion crossbows were not made, but a few added small fishing boats and merchant ships.

The fishing boat, without saying anything else, sways in the near sea where the wind and waves are not big. After scattering a net, fish, shrimp, crab, shell, turtle and other fish can be eaten. If you can't eat anything, throw it back into the sea.

But there was something wrong with the merchant ship.

Although small merchant ships cannot leave the nearshore, there is no problem walking along the nearshore.

So some merchants in Biyad spontaneously organized the animal skins hunted in the forest, the excess pottery made in the pottery workshop, and some ironware, and planned to sell them to Oslo to the south.

Of course, in the end, all iron tools and other things were detained by Egil. Just kidding, this girl is a strategic resource. Do you want to recruit enemies or what? Do you still want to get involved? Don’t want to get involved? Let’s just make a sound as soon as possible, and you will take the Viking Legion to raid your house within five minutes.

So, those businessmen begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother and eventually paid 1,500 gold coins for protection, which was only then that they survived.

Earned.

"Please note that if you exploit the people in this way, it will cause social unrest and a decline in public security. In the end, there may even be riots."

"Not to be an example."

So, Egil didn't have to worry about the next thing-he just cared for taxes.

The small merchant ship arrived at Oslo and approached the shore, because at this time there was no trade contract between Biard and Oslo, so he had to pay a tax. After a 30% discount, the merchants suddenly realized that even if they sold all the goods in full, they could not recover the cost.

"I lost, I lost ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

For a moment, there was a wailing inside the cabin of the small merchant ship.

——Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that the lord of Oslo, Felix von Lukner, who is known as the best heir to the Grand Duke of Norway, suddenly discovered that———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Biyad? I haven't heard of it. It should be a small tribe that has just emerged recently. But they can send several (plural) ships to their own territory for trade. In addition, Egil "kindly" borrowed a team of Viking soldiers to defend the merchants (expend fifteen gold coins a day). It seems that the strength of this small town is pretty good...

Just thinking about it, Earl Felix's mind began to turn - now, the conflict between him and Olaf III of Bergen has reached the point of ignition. Both sides are preparing to decide the outcome with each other.

Although Earl Felix is ​​much more confident than the opponent's strength, and his ability and skills are not comparable to that of the little boy Olaf III. However, he cannot resist Olaf III's orthodoxy, but he is a little bit higher than him...

Therefore, there are also many rigid-minded Viking tribes supporting Olaf III. The army that Olaf III can control has reached 22,000. Especially a chain-armored cavalry unit with a number of more than 2,000 people is the trump card in the hands of Olaf III. If a full-scale war begins, the victory or defeat between the two sides will still be 50.

Of course, Earl Felix firmly believed that he would win. However, the casualties caused after the battle were too huge. That would be bad... He would have to uphold the will of his ancestors and continue to lead the crowd into England, saying that if the loss was too great, what should he do?

Therefore, in recent times, Earl Felix has been trying to win over the dwarves in the mountains. He hopes that they will stand on their own side. It is best to send troops to fight. If they are not good, they should also help them with some weapons and armor.

Of course, the reason for Earl Felix is ​​also very legitimate - your strong king is also in England, so you want to take revenge - so if you don't have enough power, you need us Vikings - so we Vikings are going to "select" the Grand Duke now - so if we Vikings are not good, we lose too much power, so it is unlikely that we will be able to use enough power to conquer Britain... So, you can do this.

So, in the past few days, the elders of various tribes of the Dwarves gathered together and quarreled fiercely, and said more upright: If you do this, it will violate the traditional morality of the Dwarves. If you are more sleek, you will say: Things should be adapted. The middle school plays soy sauce.

In this way, the dwarves' own king had not been elected and were asked to participate in the Vikings' "election" almost messed up, and most people had no mood to drink - this is why Egil had waited for so many days and had never seen any dwarves ever come to the trap.

So, when the balance is balanced, even a straw will become the key to the final decision on the outcome, let alone an independent city with two thousand fully armed soldiers?

After that, Earl Felix received more and more news about Biard, and his amazement at this small city became increasingly greater - emerging, vibrant, rich, and powerful city. This is not just a straw, but a 50g weight.

Of course, in the end, it is still the weight. It cannot be the scale plate, and it cannot be the balance itself.

"Send a messenger to contact the guy named Egil. Let him support me, and after I became the Grand Duke of Norway, I handed him over this land under the control of the Bergen's hybrid, and he was the Count of Biard."

So Earl Felix sent his decent subordinates to tell all his prices and conditions. Almost at the same time, the envoys of Olaf III also arrived. The two sides almost fought after meeting on the village road outside Biard. At least they were discovered by a team of patrol cavalry, so there was no large-scale bloody conflict. The captain of the patrol cavalry saw that this situation was not the case, so he sent the patrol cavalry to report the news in the city.

"...ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, it's true. I originally thought that I would take advantage of the fisherman after watching the tiger fight, but it seems that this plan is no longer working, it's true." After hearing the report from his subordinates, Egil sighed.

"Tsk, you need strength to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. When the snipe and clam fight, if the onlooker is watching a toad, do you think he can get the profit?" The system elves complained like this.

"Then, I can only find one camp to surrender next time. Well, who should I choose? By the way, the masters of these two families are stingy enough - or did they reach a consensus before this? They are all one of the Earls of Biyad, and then draw out a territory controlled by the other party. Really, it's not like this to make a fuss. At least I'll give me a few thousand gold coins to deal with the emergency."

"By the way, you have tens of thousands of gold coins in your hand recently, which is useless. You are not short of money." said the system elf.

"That's right, but who would think that he has too much money?"

So, the two messengers were sent to the guest room in the center of the large town - they lived next door, looked up and saw them, disgusting these bastards. After that, Egil began to make a conclusion.

From the moment, Earl Felix is ​​more powerful. He is now 37 years old. His performances are remarkable in his previous combat experience. According to the judgment of the system elves, his command skills are at least three stars.

And the slightly smaller Olaf III, now twenty-two years old, is said to be quite powerful and powerful. He was already quite brave a few years ago. But this inevitably gives people a feeling of being brave but not being able to do it. But this guy has 850 chain armored cavalry under his command, although he is only the primary heavy cavalry. However, his strength cannot be underestimated...

"Well, who should I choose? Otherwise, let's decide if we throw a coin."

"I don't care, you can do whatever you want."

“…Olaf III.”

Naturally, Egil could not really pretend to be "beep" so much, really relying on tossing coins to make such important decisions. This would be of no benefit except to make readers think they are cool (or stupid).

So, after finally judgment, Egil chose the younger, stupider one, who seemed to be better at dealing with Olaf III.

After all, he also wanted to be the Grand Duke of Norway - no, the King of Norway. Then, it is appropriate to destroy a more powerful opponent like Earl Felix as soon as possible.

As for the 22-year-old Olaf III, who looks silly, big, black and thick, and no different from ordinary Vikings, Virgil thinks such an opponent is easier to deal with.

"By the way, I still have ten thousand gold coins on hand, right?"

"That's right."

"Recruit. Recruit six teams of Viking soldiers and four teams of patrol cavalry. Then recruit a team of Nordic battlefield sects."

"The recruitment fee for Viking soldiers is 400 gold coins, 300 patrol cavalry, and 800 Nordic battlefield sects. There are 4,400 gold coins in total, is there no problem?"

"no problem."

"Very good. Then, this group of troops can be recruited in one day. In this way, you have added 900 infantry, 200 cavalry and fifty field sects. The number of troops has expanded to more than 3,000, so your taxes are almost unable to support these troops. Please pay attention."
