Chapter 59
There was a vast expanse of white outside the village, and a man and a horse were walking alone towards the village. When Vargas looked up, he found that it was Su Chen. He stood up in a hurry, and others gathered around him curiously. After all,
Su Chen left with Hrov, but now he is the only one left. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
"Da da~~." The mount carried Suchen into the village. The villagers came over, and some of them were still looking back, thinking that Lord Hrov was following behind.
"Where is your lord?" The villagers asked Su Chen curiously.
"Free citizens of East Hamar, please gather in the center of the village and town. I have something important to convey to you." Su Chen said loudly to them when he saw that people had almost gathered.
After finishing speaking, he rode towards the center of the village, where there was an open space and a wooden statue erected. The statue was a traditional old Viking statue, which was said to represent the wise Odin.
"What happened to Ulf?" After people gathered in the center of the village, some of them asked loudly and curiously.
"Freedmen of East Hamar, I, Ulf, will tell you exactly what happened in Sigtuna. You can ask Bjorn Ironbone for the authenticity of this matter later.
." As soon as Su Chen opened his mouth, he brought up Ironbone Bjorn's name. Sure enough, when they heard that the news came from Ironbone Bjorn, everyone exclaimed. The son of the great Ragnar, the famous Ironbone
Bjorn, to all Nordic people, is simply a demigod.
"What's the news about Iron Bone?" Some impatient people began to ask loudly.
"In Sigtuna, Lord Hrolf formed an alliance with Visbijjar, but when the great Ironbone Bjorn asked for adventure companions, Lord Hrolf also asked to accompany him, but he was exposed.
The charges of injustice, hypocrisy and attempted murder." Su Chen's eyes swept across the faces of everyone, and these free people, whose faces were rosy from the cold in the snow, were all surprised after hearing his words.
"Who is it?"
"What happened?"
Although the people in East Hamar knew that Hrov was a stingy and unfair lord, this was the first time they had heard of these crimes publicly, so they all whispered among themselves.
"I was the one who exposed him." Su Chen stood with his hands on his hips under the statue of the god in the center of the village and said loudly in a voice that could be heard above the wind and snow.
"What?"
"Are you crazy?"
"But will Bjorn the Iron Bone believe you?"
After hearing what Su Chen said, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Su Chen would dare to come back here after exposing Hrov. Some people who had long been dissatisfied with Hrov could not help but worry about Su Chen.
.
"He believed it because Lord Hrov and I conducted a trial judged by the gods personally in front of Iron Bone Bjorn." Su Chen continued, and he and Hrov put their arms on each other at the same time.
The whole thing that came into the mouth of the Black Wolf King was told once.
"My God, how dare you do this." Hearing Su Chen's story, the free people of East Hamar were shocked and put their arms into the wolf's mouth. This is something that can only be seen in myths and stories, and
They actually did this in front of the great Bjorn.
"Hrolf failed. His arm was devoured by wolves. Bjorn the Iron Bone has already convicted him. Free people of East Hamar, we still want such a man despised by the gods to continue to lead us.
"?" Su Chen struck while the iron was hot and instigated the free people of East Hamar.
"But~~."
"I'll just say~~."
"Incredible~~."
But the free people of East Hamar whispered among themselves, but no one responded to Su Chen's call. After all, Khrov had ruled East Hamar for too long, and under his power, people were still at a loss what to do, not to mention that they also
I don't know who can lead them next.
Su Chen frowned slightly, but soon fell on Vargas in the crowd. The latter nodded slightly to him. Because the matter was urgent, Su Chen had no time to ventilate with Vargas, so he could only point at him.
He blinked, hoping Vargas would understand what he meant.
"Hrov has lost the favor of the gods. If he continues to lead, wouldn't it mean that East Hamar is against the will of the gods." Vargas' rough voice sounded, and he blinked at Su Chen and looked.
When he got up, he understood what Su Chen meant, and Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right, you can't disobey the gods."
"What's worse is in front of Bjorn the Iron Bone."
"But who can be the new earl?"
Just when people were hesitant, Vargas said loudly again.
"Those who pass the Great Wolf Trial do not mean they have received the favor of the gods. Why don't we let Ulf become our new earl?"
"Ah, that makes sense."
"That's right, that's right."
Under Vargas's instigation, people finally woke up and cheered, rejoicing at the birth of the new earl.
"Ulfjar~~."
"Ulfjar~~."
In fact, after winning the title of Wolf Slayer and successfully raiding Gotland, Su Chen's prestige has been firmly established among young people. However, everyone is still accustomed to avenging Hrolf's orders on weekdays. This is also the case when Su Chen
Before realizing this, Hrov was eager to kill Suchen because he would not let go of anyone who might challenge him.
"But Lord Hrov is still alive." Just as everyone cheered, the older warriors raised questions. You must know that there cannot be two lords in a territory. Even reindeer know a herd.
To have a parent like a stag.
"Yes, I'm still alive." At this moment, a voice came, and Hrov was seen walking over surrounded by several soldiers who had followed him. The crowd immediately stopped cheering, and they separated awkwardly.
the way.
"Lord Hrov." But Su Chen stood there without moving. He raised his head and said to Hrov. In fact, he had no way out now. If he retreated, death would be waiting for him.
"Ulf, you did a good job! How dare you openly incite." Hrov's face was a little pale. Some sharp-eyed people saw that he had lost one of his arms. The commotion began to spread among the crowd, and Hrov frowned.
He frowned. As a lord who has controlled East Hamar for decades, he knew very keenly that this commotion must be quelled.
"Freedmen of East Hamar, I don't know why you are gathered here, but don't believe the instigation of evil-minded people, the lies of an ungrateful slave, and the lies of an ungrateful slave should not enter the ears of the wise." Hrov turned around,
He cheered up and said to everyone with a smile.
"But, Lord, have you really conducted the trial of the giant wolf?" Although the older North warrior was not used to change, he couldn't help but ask Hrov.
"What about the trial of the giant wolf? I don't know about it at all. My arm was also injured because of an encounter with pirates. My personal soldiers can testify." Hrov raised his hand pretending not to care.
With his severed limb, he told everyone that he knew that as long as he coaxed everyone to disperse, he would have enough time to deal with Su Chen.
"It's ridiculous. Of course your personal warriors will not disobey you. The trial of the giant wolf was conducted in front of Bjorn the Iron Bone and all the Viking warriors in Sweden. Do you dare to say not?" Su Chen's gaze
Becoming sharp, he spoke loudly and without flinching.
"Shut up, you keep saying that Bjorn supports you, but why didn't Bjorn send anyone to help you? All this is just your lie." Hrov immediately scolded Su Chen. He had seen Su Chen a long time ago.
There was no army sent by Bjorn around him, which made him feel relieved. As long as there was no support from Bjorn's army, Suchen was just meat on the chopping board.
"It is true that Bjorn the Iron Bone did not send an envoy. Do we really want to listen to one side of the story?"
"That's not necessarily true. Ulf shouldn't dare to say Iron Bone's name randomly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"Which of them is telling the truth?"
The free people of East Hamar were confused and they talked to each other.
