Ragnar, King of Denmark, was more anxious about war than all the nobles.
“Where exactly is my brother Rurik? Has he arrived in Nassau?”
“This…I don’t know very well. Based on my understanding of the king, he should have arrived.” Blue Fox replied cheerfully.
“Are you perfunctory with me?”
“I didn’t. Besides, they will travel through the endless Saxon forest and may visit old places along the way.” Blue Fox continued cheerfully.
“Old old? Who is it?”
“Probably those guys in Cologne.”
“They? A group of cowards who believe in that cowardly god. No matter how brave a man is, he will turn into a sheep. I personally heard those priests call them lambs. Alas…” Ragnar thought of something and couldn’t help but sigh deeply. : “Some brothers from Denmark would rather go to Cologne to work as sheep.”
“Do you still know about this kind of thing?” Blue Fox quietly became interested.
“Some fools betrayed Odin, but fortunately they also left Denmark. The fools and cowards chose their own path, and I have no intention of paying attention to them. It’s Cologne…”
“Cologne people are very rich.” Blue Fox reminded.
“I know they have money, and I also know that you have been extorting money there. It’s a pity that I can’t rob them.” Ragnar’s eyes were filled with deep regret.
“Isn’t the looting of Britain enough to satisfy you? You harvested a lot of goods. My brother Red Fox told me that there may be 500 farmers from the islands that you brought and sold.” Blue Fox said to this man who had regained his nature. It is impossible for the great leader of Denmark to think highly of him, so calling him king is also noble.
Ragnar shook his head: “I can only plunder Wess*x and London, but I can’t go further north.
.
The boss of York is called Biyoni, and more and more Norwegians are rowing over. They are all strong men who believe in Odin, and it is impossible for me to attack them.
”
The blue fox gave him face, but in fact he intended to attack and probably couldn’t beat him, so he said: “Biyongni’s sister Nolen is a wife of the King of Rus, and she has given birth to a son. She is with your younger son Biyong who stayed in Rus. En is a playmate since childhood, and they will be good friends and brothers to each other. All of us are friends. Besides, Mercia is the kingdom of the eldest son of King Rus…”
“My youngest son and sister Biyongni’s son are actually friends? The Kingdom of Mercia used to be Reglaf? There is already a king there.” Ragnar was surprised.
“you sure?”
“Of course! It was precisely because I entered Wess*x that I learned some news. As for the eldest son of the Rurik brothers, I vaguely remember that Regraf. Didn’t he go to the Frank man’s side? How is he now?”
Blue Fox shrugged regretfully: “I don’t know. But the eldest son of the Duke of Saxony also went with him. There are some brave warriors there. Reglaf should be able to start his own career and then lead his troops back to Britain to regain his throne.” ”
“Hey, you all have confidence in that kid. Well, if the opportunity comes, I will help him become the real king. But what I am most concerned about now is when your expeditionary force will leave this place to join forces with Rurik.”
“We have to wait for the king’s envoy. Either we wait, or we send someone to report. In short, we will build a large-scale camp tomorrow, and we will start work after settling in.” Lan Hu finally explained.

“You are too lazy. Brother, either I kiss you
I will take my men to Nassau to find him.
”
“It’s not impossible.” Blue Fox thought for a while: “How many troops can you mobilize? You…don’t you plan to spend the winter peacefully in Rotterstad?”
“Things have changed. I could gather a thousand brothers and go to Nassau.”
Only a thousand people?
The Kingdom of Denmark sent a thousand soldiers to fight, and God knows how many results could be achieved.
Compared to King Ross’s generosity, the blue fox really didn’t dare to underestimate Ragnar’s decision.
On the bright side, Blue Fox still smiled and said: “I still recommend that you act together with us.”
Ragna showed a hint of displeasure: “Are you ordering me?”
“Hey, I don’t dare. But after the Ross army arrived in Rotterstad, I resumed my role as the general of the expeditionary force appointed by King Ross. Besides, I brought an additional 3,000 Yotalan warriors.” The implication is that Blue Fox is The commander of the Russian army who showed himself to be doing this part was completely legal and overly powerful.
Indeed, in terms of apparent strength, this part of the Russian army far exceeds the Danish army several times in all aspects.
An uninvited guest boldly intervened in their conversation.
Henry Nassau came uninvited: “Dear friend, have I missed something?”
“Henry, is that you?” Blue Fox or Merchant Shi smiled, which was very useful to Henry Nassau, Earl of the Netherlands, who was already very strong on paper but actually quite hip.
But Ragnar’s evaluation of this person was extremely bad, and he avoided making direct negative comments.
“He’s gone. The King of Denmark…” Henry Nassau said regretfully, “I still want to talk to him.”
“It doesn’t matter, let’s talk about you… If there is anything else you want to know, I’m willing to tell you.”
For Henry Nassau, in the evening
Observing the huge body of the Ross fleet, and looking at the ark-like first ship that was said to be called the “Returning Monarch”, which was a floating warehouse, Henry watched with his own eyes the seemingly infinite amount of food being moved out of her warehouse.
Henry was afraid that after the countless Norman army arrived, he would be forced to provide military rations. Fewer soldiers would not be a problem. Now their troops were extremely large. In his concept, fighting in winter was equivalent to seeking death. If this group of soldiers If they stay here for a winter, they might starve the entire Netherlands.
Similarly, regarding the development of his daughter Sophia in the family’s home of the Lahn Valley, he is eager to find out how the King of Ross will display his ambitions when he arrives there.
“Who will you attack? Will you cross the Vosges Mountains and attack the entire Alsace to break Strasbourg, or will you spread to the imperial aristocratic territories in the south?” Henry asked this key question without reservation.
Blue Fox didn’t think much about it: “It depends on King Ross’s wishes.”
“It’s the same as not saying anything.” Henry shrugged angrily. To be fair, the blue fox had already explained everything.
He asked again: “Did King Ross not tell you his next intention? Or… he did say it, but it is inconvenient for you to reveal it to me due to reality? We are allies.”
“Who knows? Only King Ross knows about this matter. Even if I have any opinions, it is the king’s will whether he adopts it or not.” The implication is that if Blue Fox serves as the commander-in-chief of an independent army, the deep Frankish world has actually already chosen it. Henry naturally understood the meaning of attacking the target.

“What do you want? You fight
Where do you plan to attack?
Could it be…” Henry composed himself: “Or will you lead troops to attack Aachen and surrounding areas again?
”
“Is it still necessary? It’s you.” Blue Fox looked at Henry’s face with a smile: “You are a local noble, I might as well help me choose a target, and I can report it to the king.”
“Really? My strength is limited and I dare not lie. If you insist on telling me, why don’t you attack Lance?”
“Lance? Forget it. I don’t have that much energy, but if it’s King Ross, everything is uncertain. Besides, even if I am authorized to lead troops to attack Lance, I must first pass through Metz.”
“Metz? Then you can just attack Metz.” At this moment, Henry didn’t know what Blue Fox was thinking, and said casually: “The army you stayed with me already attacked Metz in the summer. I know that I Son-in-law, your brother Black Fox led the troops and organized the battle. If he had won, I would have gotten some gifts from your brother, but unfortunately they did not win.”
“No victory does not mean failure.” Blue Fox followed the words.
“That’s not necessarily true. My people have already inquired about information in your military camp. The young soldiers are unwilling to fight without results. They feel that no victory is equivalent to failure, and they want to wash away their shame.”
This was unexpected by Blue Fox.
“I didn’t expect you know so much about us. What are your plans? My friend, many small nobles can become big nobles through military exploits, and can also seize huge amounts of wealth. You are already an earl, I think you can be even greater. Come on Not coming? Obviously you can also send out some troops.”
“Forget it.” Henry showed a smile
He smiled bitterly: “I can provide you with food and clothes. As for sending troops, maybe it’s best to leave them in the Netherlands. I’m also worried that the troops loyal to Lothair will cross the river to attack us. You obviously A large amount of supplies are piled here, and if anything happens to them, it will obviously be detrimental to King Ross.”
This was said as if the Ross garrison was unable to take care of its property, and as if Lothair’s army was strong.
Blue Fox could tell that this was clumsy nonsense, but the logic was impeccable. This guy tactfully announced that he would not join the war directly, at least not until the war situation was completely clear.
After some back-and-forth discussion, Blue Fox understood Henry Nassau’s wishes.
The strength of the Ross Army is already strong enough, and there is no need for the Netherlands to send more troops to directly participate in the war. It is also good as a tactical reserve. Although Blue Fox thinks that the battle is over, Henry is still watching the show.
Blue Fox naturally wants to keep some of the details he knows secret from many people about military and national affairs. If he covers his mouth too tightly, others will keep asking questions because of their concern. It is better to reveal some details to Henry, Ragnar and others. Breaking news – Count Oberlitt decided to be loyal to Ludwig and fully participate in the civil war.
Henry had never had any contact with the rulers of Lubeck in Obotelit. He only knew the names of those people, but otherwise knew nothing about them and had no awareness of them.
Ragnar was called back, and Zi learned of the situation which was an extreme feeling.

“What? Those idiots on Ljubice Island, they also decided to lead troops to join the war?”
“Do you recognize them?
”
“Not only did we know each other, my father also fought with them.” Ragna couldn’t help but think of the past when he was young.
Because since Mrs. Obertrid Tesla left the Oder River and moved westward, their existence has been squeezing the living space of the Danes and Jutlanders.
The former Danish chieftain organized an army that was unable to penetrate directly into the inland river to attack Ljubice Island, so he took out his anger on the coastal trading city of Relic.
This sudden war damage soon ushered in Lübeck’s revenge, when Count Mistuy’s grandfather led the army to invade the Schleswig Great Wall.
Sigurd “The Ring”, a heavyweight warrior of the “Stonewall” tribe, was young. He led the tribe’s warriors to successfully prevent the Slavic army from invading from the direction of Lübeck.
Sigurd was Ragnar’s father, before Ragnar was even born.
Ragnar’s anger was on his face, and the blue fox felt so inexplicable with such an unknown fire, as if Mistui had humiliated this guy.
After asking about the origin of the anger, since the history of grudges has been quite long and it is difficult to judge the right and wrong, the Blue Fox also stood up for Ragnar and spoke for him: “I know the noble named Mistuy, Lübeck. The ruler of , owns the entire Oberlidit. That is an arrogant man, he dares to neglect King Rus, I don’t like him.”
Ragnar was very satisfied with this statement. He sighed: “It is no better than in the past. They are not included in the alliance treaty. In principle, I can lead troops to attack him, but it will be detrimental to the war launched by the Rurik brothers. When everything is over, I…will plan to attack them.”
Ragnar doesn’t want to be with O
Bethel Dieter made peace. He firmly believed that if he did such a thing, many Danish nobles who surrendered to him would try to find a new king – they could surrender to the terrifying Charlemagne, but they would never surrender to Lu Baker’s idiot appeasement.
Because the allied forces defeated the Frankish heavy cavalry in the decisive battle on the frozen Elbe River, Ragnar personally led several people as a tactical reserve at that time. The brothers, armed with Nordic forest axes, chopped down the heavy cavalry that had lost their impact like cutting down trees. The men and horses were chopped to pieces, so much so that the chainmail ripped off the death cavalry after the war was in fragments.
As a result of the victory, Ragnar learned some lessons about how to deal with cavalry, but never lost sight of the terror of the cavalry.
The Lübeckers had a thousand heavy cavalry?
And already participating in the war?
Blue Fox did not know that Mistuy’s Lübeck army chose to take a detour and go directly to Mainz out of arrogance.
He was still a Lübeck man and took Obert Liddit’s elite troops to Nassau and Koblenz.
No matter how many words you use to praise the strength of the Russian army and its sufficient logistics, it becomes redundant. Ragnar regards Rurik as a brother. At the same time, he also believes that he can pull out a complete army from Zealand and Jutland if he is willing. An army of nearly ten thousand soldiers loyal to him.
Even if the weapons and equipment are inferior to those of the Russians, it is still possible to attack Frank in a large scale to gain wealth.
After Rurik led his troops to defeat the Franks and the powerful Russian army annihilated a large number of elites, he would then lead his Danish brothers to plunder endlessly. After all, it only took a few days to row from Denmark to the Rhine by sea.

…
Finally, the roasted lamb was served.
“for
friendship!
Let’s drink!
”
The fat little red fox high-end glass, many nobles also took out these crystal cups to drink.
After that, they hold the dagger and cut off the parts they like on the fat sheep. The more sophisticated people will use a fork or two wooden sticks as fine cutlery, and the more rough daggers will be used as cutlery.
The young children had their own topics to talk about, and the adult nobles and officers talked about their own. What was unparalleled was that they all had their own views on war.
They gathered in a stormy gathering at the Ross Governor’s Palace in Rotterstad, and ate all the roasted lambs until only the bones were left.
The two rounds of Ross Expeditionary Forces completed their rendezvous and reached many consensuses on war issues with friendly forces.
Very coincidentally, Metz quietly became a strategic focus, which was precisely what was ignored when the expedition was launched.
It is also inevitable to keep an eye on Metz, because the city is the nearest military town west of the Vosges Mountains.
Attack it and occupy it, and the Russian army will face the wrath of the imperial nobles.
As long as they defeat the army of those guys, the so-called Roman Emperor Lothair, the essence of his controlled area will no longer have elite guards. The victory of the Russian army against a group of armed peasants at most is to cut melons and vegetables.
Rurik noticed this, as did Blue Fox, who was stationed at the mouth of the Rhine to remind him of the army, and Henry Nassau’s archfire.
If you want to capture Reims, you must first reach Kemetz, and if you want to capture Kemetz, you must first capture Trier. To capture Trier, the Russian army only needs to send troops from Coblenz and advance upstream along the Moselle River. .
After the banquet, Rotterstad experienced a rare sleepless night.
When the sun dispels the coldness of the morning,
Work is still going on in the dock area, and materials are still being unloaded from ships and transported to warehouses protected by tall wooden walls using horse-drawn carriages, bullock carts, and human handcarts.
They had to move quickly, because sensitive people noticed the special sticky feeling in the air based on their own life experiences. Coupled with the constant north wind and the dim light of the sun, it seemed that a bad autumn rain was brewing.
No!
Maybe the temperature will drop suddenly and it will snow in the entire Rhine Estuary.
Knowing that they would not stay here for a long time, UU Reading www.SonicMTL.net Ross, Yotalan and other ethnic warriors all set up simple camps. They planned to rest in a few days and enter the inland river with a large amount of supplies to Koblen. Assembling here, so far, the plan to shoot when the troops are divided on Ljubice Island is basically proceeding in an orderly manner.
With the regular troops of the Rus’ army as the core, and the vassal Jotalan warriors with three thousand warriors, Blue Fox, as the commander authorized by Rurik, has his power recognized by nobles and officers at all levels.
This means that he theoretically has the right to command the current 7,000 or even 8,000 armed men to fight.
And this does not include the thousand warriors Ragnar claims to have, as well as an unknown number of Danish fishermen who can be recruited unexpectedly if necessary.
As for Henry Nassau’s Dutch army, as well as the Flanders who Blue Fox is sure will come over, the two great nobles in the north and south bounded by the Rhine River may also fight against the Ross army as allies. To start the action together, the name can also be included.
The huge coalition forces at the mouth of the Rhine have strong forces, and Blue Fox was astonished after a real statistics.
“There are really 10,000 soldiers now, right?! Why don’t little Metz worry about being broken? Yes! Our army has to keep Strass

If Lothair of Fort was killed, or that guy, the Russian army could plunder wantonly in Frank under the guise of helping Ludwig fight the war.
After looting the city of Metz, and then destroying Reims, we will plunder the other large and small imperial aristocratic cities.
”
So, after being stunned, Blue Fox had greater ambitions, and he was eager to share this happiness with King Ross.
