Facing Rostislav's words, Edward was very grateful.
Regarding his choice to go to England to succeed the throne, Edward was actually very happy in his heart.
On the one hand, the temptation of the throne and the arrival of a powerful minister like Harold made him inevitably think that succession was a matter of course.
But on the other hand, he had been away from England for too long after all, and all his childhood memories there had been forgotten. He was closer to Hungary and Russia, and it was really worrying for him to take his family to such a strange land rashly.
But in the end, the temptation overcame the worries. The temptation of the throne was too powerful.
Edward originally thought that he had no connection with the throne, but now the throne suddenly fell in front of him, how could he not be moved.
He is the first heir to the Wessex family, and no one in England is more legitimate than him.
As for his namesake, the Confessor, who loved God far more than the throne, and whose wife was a member of the Godwin family that disgusted him, it was impossible for him to have any descendants.
This is also the reason why Harold and the others convinced Edward so quickly, but on the other hand, Edward was also a little touched in his heart because he saw the illegitimate son Zergi causing trouble.
This illegitimate son dares to fight hard to gain power. He is still the legitimate heir, so why not give it a try?
So he decided to return to England with Harold, where the throne of his ancestors was waiting for him and beckoning to him.
"Thank you very much, Lord Rostislav. I will always remember your kindness. In addition, I have to trouble you to send my family to England. I must go to London first."
Edward was in such a hurry to go to England mainly because of Harold's urging. Harold urgently needed Edward to return to England to consolidate his position in the English court.
And Edward was also happy with this. He had no objection to going to England to confirm the ownership of the throne. He knew that such a thing could not be delayed, and the sooner he went, the better.
"Of course there is no problem, my friend. In addition, I will mobilize the people in the territory for you and form a team of mercenaries. As the heir to the throne of England, if you don't have a team of followers, it will be a huge loss."
Rostislav readily agreed to Edward's request. Although he didn't know where Edward could go in the future, there was nothing wrong with investing in the heir to the throne of England.
In this regard, Rostislav inherited the attitude of his grandfather. He would treat these exiled princes preferentially no matter what, and then provide help as much as possible. If necessary, he would make heavy bets on them to invest in the future.
In addition, speaking of this, now Rostislav is actually continuing Yaroslav's strategy. Edward was able to marry Yaroslav's daughter because of his status as the heir to the throne of England.
Thinking of this, Rostislav couldn't help but admire his grandfather. All four of his daughters married kings, the King of France, the King of Norway, the King of Hungary, and the current heir to the throne of England.
And the most important thing is that, except for the King of France, the other four people all married his daughters as exiles, which means that Yaroslav was gambling with his daughters, and he won them all.
This seems simple, but it is very difficult to do. There are thousands of exiles in Europe, and not everyone can get the throne in the end. Investing in the exiles is tantamount to gambling, and my grandfather won all the bets.
Already.
With this manipulation, he turned himself into a European father-in-law, and Ross was able to truly shine on the international stage, announcing their existence to all directions, and distant countries were also aware of Ross's existence.
"Thank you very much, Lord Rostislav."
Faced with Edward's gratitude, Rostislav just waved his hand, which was just a small effort.
"I think we should say goodbye, Lord Rostislav."
At this point, the explanation was almost complete, so it was indeed time for him to leave.
Rostislav also nodded. There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. In this case, let's say goodbye. I don't know where we can meet again in the future.
Just like that, the procession of the heirs to the throne of England left, and Rostislav suddenly felt a little melancholy as he looked at their backs.
Since he came to this world, this was the first time he had met a person who had a profound influence on the entire world. That feeling was really extremely subtle.
Especially when you know the impact of what they do next, but the other party has no idea at all.
And Rostislav did not linger on such feelings for too long. Although he liked to think about things, he would not be immersed in them.
Soon, as those Anglo-Saxon figures disappeared, Rostislav also turned his horse's head and continued on the road to Rus.
————————
Compared to when the Russians and others arrived, the road was much more chaotic and chaotic.
Large groups of armed people are no longer a rare thing, but a sight that can be seen everywhere. People's faces are also full of worry, worried about the war.
The pagan uprising has affected the entire country. The country, which had finally calmed down due to the end of the civil war, has once again fallen into chaos, and even the number of bandits that were once suppressed has increased.
You can even see battles between Christian armed forces and pagan armed forces from time to time on this road. Although they are all at the level of armed fighting, when they can be encountered everywhere, it means that the situation has become intense.
The Russians certainly helped arm the Christians, and they received a lot of thanks for this help.
But Rostislav knew that the victory in these battles did not affect the overall situation, and those thanks could not change the current situation they would face next.
Only when Janos, Zyrge and King Bela decide the winner will all this be considered over. These lands will still be tortured by war for a long time.
Since no one dared to provoke this huge queue of Russians, the Russians soon came under the Carpathian Mountains.
It is a pity that the mountains are still frozen in ice and snow, and the Russians cannot cross the mountain passes yet.
They had to wait for a while under the mountains, and during this time they heard a lot of news about the fighting. As they expected, the fighting soon became intense.
The most important of them, King Bela, had defeated the main force of Janos, but this pagan leader took his men and defected to Gyorgi's army, and Gyorgy has now become the leader of the Hungarian pagans.
In addition, there were many refugees near the Russian camp during this time. Many of them returned to Hungary after hearing the news about the end of the civil war. However, when they returned to Hungary, they found that fighting had started again not long after, so they had no choice but to
On the road to escape again.
Some people plan to leave after going to Russia this time. When will the war in damn Hungary end?
The Russians waited under the mountains for a full month. After this month, the ice and snow in the mountains melted, and the Russians were able to cross the mountain pass that they had not been able to cross.
After crossing the mountain pass, they came to the outpost where they once stayed, which was still crowded with mountain people escaping the winter and refugees preparing to return to Hungary.
Then the Rus told them the news of the resumption of the war. The Carpathian mountain people did not say anything about this. They even immediately began to discuss organizing troops to support the king. After all, their tribes all relied on the king's power to develop all the way. For suppression
Pagans are naturally fully supported.
And those refugees are like eating bitter melon. Why has this war started again? Is it going to end?
But there was no choice but to leave Hungary again and flee to Rus.
In this way, the team of Russians grew stronger and more numerous.
After bidding farewell to the outpost, within a few days, the Rus' people finally arrived within their borders, and when the first Rus' town appeared in front of people, everyone cheered.
This journey is really very emotional. This journey is really difficult, full of conspiracies and wars.
And when you return to your hometown after experiencing all this, you will really feel that nothing is better and safer than your hometown.
