Chapter 267 6.15 Ulysses Elan

Throughout the battle, Loki's hands didn't even touch the two hatchets behind him.

This may be the most attractive part of power.

In his previous life, after becoming a project manager, he no longer had to follow up to the front line and do some chores that were physically and mentally exhausting. He only needed to control the direction for the team, and the smart and capable subordinates would naturally help him solve the next step.

In this life, when he had 6,000 Viking pirates under his command, and more than half of them were chosen ones who had undergone marrow washing and bone removal, he no longer had to pick up the axe and fight the enemy like he did in the defense of Hanshui Village two years ago.

After a long period of development, he has successfully cultivated a group of subordinates who are strong and loyal enough, and successfully took the first step on the road to hegemony.

At this time, he was sitting in the wide oak throne of Wanghai Fortress, looking down at the row of captives in front of him.

They were all English nobles captured by "Greedy Wolf" Gulaul inside the fortress last night.

"Boss, you have to be careful of these old guys. Although they are as soft as piglets in a pigsty, they are quite capable!" Guraul leaned close to Loki's ear and whispered in Slavic, "Last night, no less than 5 of my brothers died in their hands!"

Loki nodded.

He knew about this group of holy bishop monks.

The rule of the holy bishop that "preaching can improve the sequence level" is destined to give the noble class the power to crush the poor.

In various counties, most of the small churches erected in the wilderness were built by these wealthy nobles.

With more churches built, their sequence level can't be weaker.

Just like Jerome's situation when they first met, these nobles who live a comfortable life are not lacking in divine power.

What they lack is the fighting skills accumulated from long-term chopping and slashing with swords.

He stepped down from the throne and slowly walked to the side of several English nobles tied up with animal tendons.

"You guys, the foreigners have already attacked the castle, so why don't you change into the clothes of ordinary people and run away like the smart people in the history books?"

"Haha!"

"Despicable barbarians! We are noble king knights. We would rather die in battle than escape."

Looking at the fat bellies of these "knights" and the fat on both sides of the armor that was ruthlessly squeezed out, Loki couldn't help but sigh that poverty also has its advantages.

Poverty at least won't make the powerful Chosen Ones so fat that they can't even wear their armor.

Compared with these "king knights" who were roaring to fight Loki to the death, the last old man in the queue seemed very calm. His hair was completely gray, and he was kneeling on the ground at this time, and his body seemed to be trembling slightly.

This was not due to fear, but because after old age, his knees could no longer withstand the torture of kneeling.

Loki pulled over a chair, directed his men to remove the shackles on his wrists, and helped him sit on it.

Guraul said softly:

"After entering the castle, I went straight to the top floor of the fortress. In the bedroom on the top floor, it was this old guy who was sleeping. Although my English is not very good, from the fat pigs around him who kept calling him "Elan" on the left and "Elan" on the right"

"I guess this man is most likely the Mercian King "Honest" Elan!"

"Even though five brothers of the Chosen died, we finally captured this old guy alive!"

Nodding gently, Loki patted Guraul on the shoulder. After the Satyr, he finally found a reliable subordinate again.

This Slav hunter in his early 20s has a keen sense of smell, is loyal and knows the big picture, and is a valuable helper.

In one night, he led his men to tie up nearly 20 thousand captains. If what he said is true, this old guy is really the Mercian King "Honest" Elan

This time the raid tactics can be said to have achieved unprecedented success!

After confirming the names, positions, and titles of the prisoners one by one and sending them to the dungeon, Loki once again praised Guraul and the Slavs around him and asked them to return to the camp and rest during this period.

However, Guraul stopped where he was and refused in public.

Loki was also stunned. After leading the residents of the valley through a series of battles and winning many victories, no one in his territory would question any of his decisions.

Even the two dukes of the same rank, Moklash and Phoenix, never raised any questions.

Out of curiosity, he began to ask Guraul what doubts he had in his heart.

"Boss, it's not time to rest yet!"

"When hunting in the woods, the hunter and the prey compete for breath! Once the momentum of either party is relaxed, the change of identity sometimes comes in an instant. The hunter will instantly become the prey, and the prey can also evolve into the hunter in an instant!"

"We just won a great victory, captured a beach fortress, and successfully captured the king of this country!

It can be predicted that their royal city must be leaderless and in chaos now.

I beg the leader to let me lead 3,000 people to capture Oxford City.

I will definitely kill the city without a single piece of armor left, and win greater glory for the Duke!"

Loki sat on the throne and did not reply for a long time.

"Greedy Wolf" Gulaul is very similar to the dire wolf hunting in the forest in all aspects. Once the wolf pack finds the weakness of the prey, it will be a chase to the death.

Even if they are full, they will still kill all the prey and drag them to the bottom of the ice cave for freezing.

It is precisely because of this greed that the wolf pack has become the most dangerous creature in the Tianduan Mountains.

Does what Gulauer said make sense?

Actually, it does.

In the previous life, Loki did not have the opportunity to lead troops in battle, but he has played a lot of real-time strategy games.

It is useless to eat the opponent's troops. If you want to defeat the opponent, you must hurt the opponent's economy and remove their "troop point".

"Wanghai Fortress" is just a fortress.

The real "economic lifeline" and "troop point" of the Kingdom of Mercia lies in the city of Oxford, 600 miles away. As long as Oxford is occupied, the country will be like a pile of loose sand and will not be able to organize any effective defense forces.

But Loki himself has other deeper considerations.

In his plan, the core purpose of this war is to fight for land.

Mercia is the country with the largest land area among the seven countries of England. From the perspective of terrain, Mercia is located in the middle of the English Isles, and there is Wessex between it and the powerful country France.

This is a good place to build a home.

This country is almost half the size of the Scandinavian Peninsula. For Loki's 6,000 Viking warriors, they only need a small piece of territory to survive.

And if he wants to survive in this land, he cannot do without the help of these local residents in all aspects.
