Chapter 803: Lobbyist

The men holding the shield were angry. Over the years, everyone has been harassed endlessly by the Ross people. It is clear that it is their hatred with the Danes. Why should the Bernholm people pay the price?

Is it just because the whole island surrendered to Denmark?

More than a thousand people can tear the landing Rus to pieces, but they are clearly envoys.

What do the Ross people want to do? negotiation?

If negotiation can make them end the endless harassment, negotiation is okay.

The leader of the big family who did not leave on the island, as well as the several Danish lords who fled last year, have set up the Nordic Council on the island.

No one is the owner of the island. On weekdays, everyone gathers together to live a life. Whenever something happens, the people who have the power will choose a person to handle the affairs.

A man named Swind was elected, and he also called on the men to take up arms and go to the beach to see the situation.

There was a small leader who was angry and stunned: "They are the messengers? They didn't give us the opportunity to argue before, so now we have some people cut off the messengers."

"No. Their big ship is like Kraken, and I don't want to provoke them."

"Let them land on the island safely? They are also destroying everywhere in the Danish waters." An exiled Danish lord worried.

Swinder was standing in front of the line, worried about the big boats that were staring at him. The long boats of the islanders did not leave the port to intercept them, so he took the men to guard the beach.

It is nonsense to cheat the army to tear up the messenger, and to be happy is to have a good time, then the possibility of negotiation will be cut off.

He said to the nobles: "Since you recommend me to be a speaker, don't make trouble, and those who restrain yourself must not attack without authorization. I will go and talk to the Ross people who have landed."

A flat boat drifted to the coast, a flag was flying, and the people on the boat were also wearing Rose's blue robes with white background.

How does Ragner's Rose-style outfit not make the people of Burnholm jealous? He himself was quite worried, and this trip was also a courage to pin his head on the belt of his trousers.

The fishermen's boat ran aground directly on the beach, Ragnar helped the boat to jump down, and then took arrogant steps to face the entire army formation.

Then, take off his helmet.

Ragnar showed his face, which immediately surprised some people.

"It's him? No way!" A Danish lord exiled sighed.

Some people wondered: "Mao Pants Ragnar? Looks like, but there are many people who look like this. This man is a Ross man. Clothes will not deceive."

"Maybe he's not dead? Did he surrender the Ross people?"

"Who knows?"

...

The shields were stacked like a wall, Ragnar was not afraid, facing the army, he held his helmet and opened his arms.

"People of Bernholm, do you recognize me?"

"You?!" Swinder exclaimed, "Ross! Are you going to negotiate with us?"

"No! I'm not from Ross."

"You are obviously wearing the clothes of the Ross people!"

"I'm a Danish! Ragnar of the Stonewall tribe! Ragnar in wool pants, cut off the Ragnar of King Svearan!"

Because the name of the hero man is always highly regarded, the story always becomes bizarre in word of mouth, and finally turns into a fantasy story.

The warriors with shields were surprised. If he was Ragnar in wool pants, who could have beaten him? Besides, he is a Danish, not a Rus, nor is he a servant of the new king of Denmark, and there is no reason to fight each other.

"Some people say you are dead!" Swind continued to shout.

"I'm not dead. I'm going to take revenge on Horrick while I'm alive. You guys! Bornholm! If you are the hound that Horrick raises, you can kill me now. If you also oppose the man, now Just stop being vigilant and let’s have a good chat."

Hearing it, Swind made a decision hurriedly. Regardless of who this person is, the Ross forces he represents don't seem to have the will to fight. Anyway, the strong men have been mobilized, and the people on the Ross ship are going to go to the island and kill them.

He let the men relax and walked forward with open arms.

The misunderstanding seemed to be over, and Ragnar landed on the island peacefully.

For Ragner, it is not the first time he has landed in Burnholm, but he was very young last time, and now he is the father of two children.

If his fake is inquired by the real Danish lord, it will be revealed quickly.

In fact, this is not the case. Ragnar has a very heavyweight token self-proof here-inherited from his father's ring.

Sigurd made a ring for himself. It was actually a "Ouroboros", which also referred to "Yemengard Python".

The ring is not surprising to be a ring of ouroboros is arrogant.

The fleeing lords had fought side by side with Ragnar many times. Even if this was an era without pictures, Ragnar had a lot of feats, and the lords looked at him more.

Now Sigurd's ring was seen, and the fleeing lord had already agreed with the facts of the Ragnar Danes. As for why he wears the clothes of the Ross people, why are there three big Ross boats in front of the island...

"You? What's your purpose? Negotiating with us on behalf of the Ross people?" Swindle asked the core question sharply.

Ragnar did not hide: "It is indeed a negotiation. This is not a place for conversation. We should find a good place to have a good conversation."

...

The three big Ross ships were like swords hanging over their heads. Once they arrived, the islanders' fishing plan today was ruined again.

The islanders went back to their homes, looking forward to a result of the negotiation in their homes.

The sea breeze blows across the island. A large wooden house is built on the top of the island’s highest stone mound. Standing here, people can look far away. If the air is clear enough and the weather is clear enough, people with good eyesight can even see the coastline of the distant mainland. Phantom.

Ragnar entered the council chamber with two entourages holding swords. The three of them had already taken off Rose's robes and folded them, revealing leather clothes and plain clothes, which looked exactly like the islanders.

However, although he has the nickname of "wool trousers", he is now wearing real Rose linen trousers. A pair of tightly stitched trousers is very different from the islanders.

Because islanders also wear skirts on a large scale, or a kind of overall leather robe. They don't even have the concept of panties, they just wrap their legs in stockings when it's really cold.

Ragnar, who is accustomed to Ross-style comfortable clothes, can't go back, of course, there are some minor problems in clothing.

More than twenty prominent figures gathered in the Chamber of Parliament, and Ragnar was the most important guest.

"I'm sorry, because of the harassment of the Ross people, we can only venture fishing in the winter. We recently salvaged some herrings, and they are a bit stinky. I can only entertain you with these." Swind's opening remarks seemed like Complaining, the words are full of impoliteness.

It is true that Ragnar is a Danish, and his current status as an envoy of Ross is also true.

"Eat smelly fish? Since it is your gift, I still accept it. I want to believe that you are not deliberately neglecting."

In fact, the islanders were deliberately negligent, and Swinder smiled and denied Ragner as he didn't understand.

Swind continued on behalf of everyone: "We just want to know, what does it mean that you are here? It won't always be..." He paused, "Do you want us to submit the battle book for everything?"

"War? As for?" Ragnar shook his head, "I do represent Rose here, but I can also represent all the lords who were hit by Horrick."

"You represent us?" It just so happened that the first-class dead lord was there, "How can you represent us?"

"It seems so. But are you willing to continue to exile? Or do you think of a way to chop off Horrick's head so that we can return to Denmark to regain the lost territory."

"Just you? What strength do you have? You don't mean it, but we have all heard that your tribe is almost dead. The cemetery of your tribe was also destroyed by the villain Horrick..."

"Enough!" Ragnar furiously slammed the table, which also frightened everyone out of their daggers. "Whenever I think of this, I become more and more determined to revenge."

"So how do you want to get revenge?" Another exiled lord asked, "How many men do you have to fight?"

"At least three hundred people, if necessary, I can recruit some more mercenaries." Ragnar replied quite sincerely.

"Up to five hundred people, indeed many, but Horrick and his servants are more. They also have the hateful foreign aid Franks. What do you have?"

"So, that's what I want to say." Ragnar spread out his hand and looked at everyone. "You think the Ross people are hateful. They are the fishermen who deliberately attacked you. I went into exile in Ross and chatted with their young princes. I know the attitude of the Ross people."

"What the **** do the Ross people want to do?!" Swinder also slammed the table and asked.

Ragnar didn't talk about the Ross people first, and deliberately talked about things a long time ago. "There is only one great hero in Denmark, Godfrey, but his nephew Harald Clark betrayed everyone, and Hafgen is not a wise man. Of course Hafgen has an indecent name, and that is also Defending the rights of Denmark is not like this Horrick betrayed to Frank a lot for power. You are surrendering to the heroic king of Denmark, but this Horrick is not worthy of your respect."

"What are you saying about this? Of course we don't recognize Horrick." Swind urged him to say business.

"How about Hafgen? He killed a lot of people, and all of you who were doing it sent troops. We killed the Swearan people. As far as I know, the tribe we raided and annihilated was ran away. A girl. That girl has given birth to Prince Ross. You have sent troops to participate in all the expeditions organized by Hafgen. The Ross people are actually taking revenge and retaliating against you."

The islanders and the exile lords never knew this inside story, and they were shocked. Naturally, some people say that this is actually an excuse for the Ross people to find fault, and no man would fight for one of his concubines.

However, this is indeed a grand excuse.

Following this theory, Ragner continued: "Hafgen is dead. Guess how he died?"

"I know. His Red Dragon collided with the Rossman lone ship, and he fell into the sea and disappeared. He was swallowed by the sea." Swind said.

"Do you know who is commanding that Ross ship?"

Following the persuasive temptation, Swind and others were taken aback: "Is it always the leader of the Ross people?"

"It's him! He is a young man who seems to have been blessed by Odin. He has always had good luck and his own strength is very strong. I have heard about Prince Rus’s attitude towards Denmark as a whole. The Rus didn’t want to fight. All of their people in Hezeby were killed. They couldn't stand it, so they accumulated their strength for revenge. So attacking you is only part of the revenge..."

"It sounds like you have been defending from their standpoint. I admit that they may make sense, but they clearly want to trap us Burnholm to death." Swinder was indignant.

"The Ross people are retaliating, and I, want to destroy Horrick's power, but also retaliate against the Franks."

"So you worked with the Ross people like this?"

"It's cooperation. But I learned the true attitude of Prince Ross. The man thinks that the enemy's enemy can be a friend. The past grievances are put aside, and now we are all facing a big trouble. We can obviously join forces to get Danish King Horlick. Get rid of. I even..."

"What do you want?"

Ragnar raised his head proudly: "I should become the new Danish king, and then sign a treaty with the Rus and Svealand people to stop the piracy in this sea area. Wouldn’t it be great for us to do business and live and work freely? ?"

Restoring peace is the long-cherished wish of the islanders, that is, peace is simply an extravagant hope.

Ragnar added: "The Ross people wanted me to rob you, but I stopped them. The fight between you is unnecessary. In my opinion, it is better for you to send envoys to Ross. How can we form an alliance is the best. I know that Prince Ross is very willing to accept new allies. You see, obviously I cut down the king of Svealan, and I still successfully form an alliance with them. Two of the big ships parked outside your port belong to me. This is the solution. The benefits of an alliance. As long as you form an alliance with Ross, at least the Russians will not attack you again."

Many people are moved by it.

"So, what's the price?" Swind asked cautiously, and at the same time he figured out how much he would pay to buy the stop of the Ross people.

"Who knows?" Ragner shrugged. "Maybe it is enough for you to oppose the King of Denmark."

Ragner’s lobbyist did a good job, and his lobbyist was just a cameo. It seems that the work of persuasion has been completed.

He said that the Queen’s Pirate of Leu Likfeng, there is no reason to confuse the entire Burnholm Island.

Just as he confessed his ambition to become the new king of Denmark, he needs to fight his own strength. He doesn't need to really rule the entire island. After all, the island itself is also a group of large families and a large number of free fishermen. They only need to promise benefits, and the islanders will probably join themselves.

The Stonewall tribe lost many people, but the tribe itself is not a single-blood family. Ragner can clearly move from Bernholm to absorb small families as new tribesmen.

The people in the parliamentary chamber secretly divided into two factions. One faction felt that they could try to negotiate peace with the Ruths, while the other faction decided to continue to wait and see.

As for the staunch opposition, there is no such thing!

Swind is a support faction, and it is exactly the same. When it comes to diplomatic matters, he is bound to go to Rose's territory to meet with their supreme leader to discuss the possibility of alliance.

During the day, Ragnar landed on the island with a flat boat, and at night, the two sides reached a preliminary consensus on the possibility of an alliance. The next morning, it turned into two ships drifting towards the three ships of Ross that were eye-catching.

Spuut ordered the entire army to be on guard as usual, and after seeing Ragner's return, he ordered the torsion slingshot to be released.

Hearing that the islander's messenger was about to board the ship, Spuyut put down the rope ladder on the big ship.

The first time I saw the demonic Ross ship Swind couldn't help but touch it first, and then board the ship like climbing a wall. He was detained as soon as he boarded the joint entourage.

It wasn't until Ragnar boarded the ship that he explained that the whole island had a plan to form an alliance.

Spuyut had an idea, "Make an alliance with our prince? Yes. But brothers can't return empty-handed when they come. You provide us with some food and other treasures."

"Yes, we only have some stinky herrings." Swind was true. "If you block our seas, don't expect how many treasures we can take out."

"Then forget it. It seems that you are the leader of the islanders, and I have done the credit for catching you."

In fact, Swind brought some "meeting gifts", which was to select ten female girls from the island. This is what Ragner said, the so-called Ross people need a large number of women, and foreign women are not slaves, but purely wives to give birth to children.

In this way, Swind had no psychological burden, and brought two armed entourages, and for the first time sailed to the east in the big ship of the Ross people.
