Chapter 276 6.24 Conspiracy

2 days later, Conqueror's Fortress

The "Yinyuyuan" in early spring is still cold, but when the sun slanted into the "Light Touch Hall", Ivar O'Sullivan chose to hold a royal meeting on the top floor of the Conqueror's Fortress.

There were three people sitting beside him, and the leader was the storm monk "The Wise" Nibru who had disappeared from the river valley for a long time.

Under his seat, there was also the leader of this round of "Sabertooth Mercenaries", Wesker Sabertooth Leopard, and Ivar's adjutant, the chief of staff who almost always followed him.

He had no name, only a code name: Black Shark.

Although the sun was slanting down, it was still cold in the Light Touch Hall. After the maids and servants were dismissed, there were only four people left in the empty hall. They sat around a round table. In the center of the round table, there was a paper letter about half a foot long.

In the center of the letter, there was a pattern drawn with a slender feather pen. It was an ancient ring, and on the edge of the ring was engraved a circle of words that did not belong to any human civilization.

The pattern is very detailed. It can be seen that this is obviously in the hands of a professional painter. In order to accurately show what the ring is, the careful painter even changed three different strokes of different thicknesses, and even the fine cracks on the ring and the stone texture were accurately restored.

Below the pattern, there is only one line of text.

[I know you have arranged the army, you can do it yourself. ]

"This is"

"Master Nibru, your guess is right.

This thing is the key to the portal to Asgard"

After Ivar said this, the three people present looked at the letter in the center of the round table and fell into a long silence.

It is not difficult to imitate a "copper ring door key" to enter Asgard, but Master Nibru, as a secret stake planted by Ivar next to Duke Bernard, he once touched the copper ring of the portal with his own hands.

He knew that those few engravings and messy scratches could not be faked at all.

This thing is indeed authentic.

What's more, the information dealers of the "Zoroastrianism" are very professional. Since it has been "certified" by the painter, this letter must have been "freshly baked" two days ago. There is no possibility that Loki drew it in advance and deceived them.

The members of the Fire Transmission Gang, who make a living by selling information, will not do anything that will damage their reputation.

The authenticity of information is the foundation of their existence.

Ivar has indeed prepared his troops. He has already purchased information from the "Zoroastrianism" and learned that Loki has come to the land of the English.

At this time, he was trapped in the Seawatch Fortress.

This opportunity is a "blessing from heaven" for the Viking King. In recent days, he has summoned his vassals and gathered 200 longships to prepare to sail to the river valley.

This move is to empty Loki's hometown and "save" his sister who was imprisoned by Loki.

Second, this can also calm the anger of the English to a certain extent.

As long as they stopped sending troops to attack Scandinavia, Ivar firmly believed that he could continue to maintain the balance of the situation with the mediation of the Illuminati.

However, he never expected that Loki would be so wild as to dare to carry the key to the Asgard portal with him!

For hundreds of years, there has been only one portal in the "Holy Mountain" that can lead to Asgard. In late autumn last year, when the war in the Holy Mountain ended, Ivar discovered that the portal belonged to Loki. He wanted to send a large army to attack the river valley immediately.

However, winter has arrived at this time, and a large area of ​​snow has frozen the sea surface, and it is impossible for an army to pass through the Tianduan Mountains in winter. Forcing through the Tianduan Mountains will only cause a large number of soldiers to die on the way.

So he had to give up.

Now, a difficult choice is in front of him.

Should he attack the river valley according to the original plan or turn around and sail the fleet to the Sea Fortress to save Loki from the siege of the English?

"My king, no!" Wesker, the leader of the Sabertooth mercenaries, said in a deep voice, "Last autumn, the longships we sent out were completely destroyed by the English on the sea. Although our shipyards have also begun to build ramming ships for large-scale naval battles, with the current productivity of the Vikings, it will take at least 10 years to become a force to be reckoned with!"

"If we rely solely on longships and encounter the English navy without the escort of ramming ships, it will only bring a massacre!"

Before Ivar had time to speak, Master Nibru shook his head first.

"No"

"I have been circling the sea for a long time recently, and the English fleet has all withdrawn to the vicinity of the Seawatch Fortress. According to the intelligence sold by the 'Zoroastrianism' before the war, all the supplies for the three patrols of the supply fleet in the North Sea were placed in the Seawatch Fortress.

Now that the fortress has been occupied by Loki, the ships have lost their supply base. They can't continue to cruise! As long as Loki survives one day, we should be safe for the time being."

Master Nibru's "Raven Path" has been practiced to Sequence 4, "Storm Crow". At this level, in addition to daily divination and stargazing, he can also transform himself into a flying raven through spells and fly in the sky.

It was with this ability that he retreated first when Loki led his army to capture Storm's End and flew to the Conqueror's Fortress on the other side of Mount Skybreak.

"What do you think?"

Ivar turned his head and looked at the mysterious man beside him. Usually, this man is elusive and rarely appears in public. Even if he appears in front of others, he is always wearing a loose black robe, and his whole face is covered with a black cloth, revealing only two slender eyes.

All the other staff of the O'Sullivan family know about him is that his nickname is "Black Shark".

Other than that, they know nothing.

The Viking King turned his head and looked at the chief of staff. Master Nibru and Wesker were both silent. After a long time, a harsh voice like sand and stone rubbing against iron filings came, and after a long silence, Black Shark finally spoke.

"My king, maybe my opinion may be a little exaggerated in the eyes of others, but I still have to say that this Duke Loki is the strongest opponent you have encountered since you ascended the throne!"

"Before the expedition, this kid had calculated everything! Dragging us into the war was a plan he had made before he set out. And the most uncomfortable thing about this plan is that we can only accept it, there is no other way!"

"Because the portal to Asgard is a treasure that the Vikings cannot discard!"

The voice of Black Shark has a natural metallic texture, and the hoarse voice like the friction of iron filings will make people feel inexplicably irritated. The accent in his Viking language is also completely different from the seven provinces.

The old Master Runeburu didn't know where this man came from, how old he was, and what kind of gods he believed in.

But he knew that when Black Shark spoke, it was better for others to shut up and not interrupt him.

"People in the East often say 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.' It means that we must understand our opponent in order to predict his actions."

"Loki is a speculator who knows how to seize opportunities and gain benefits in a mess!

Since the conflict between him and Duke Bernard two years ago, he knew to pull in Blood Pigeon Town and Fog Duck Town to create a four-party melee, ignite everyone's conflicts and gain a chance to survive!

During the joint invasion of Slavs and England last year, this kid took this tactic to the extreme

He used the Tang people he provoked in the Conqueror's Fortress to make them perish together with the English people who landed in Hanshui Village!

Afterwards, he drove Bakambusi to attack the Holy Mountain, and when both sides were defeated, he opened the portal and released all the Viking pirates hidden in the mysterious city!

This is a venomous snake that is very good at using the contradictions between enemies to create opportunities! It is foreseeable that if we are involved in this war, we will inevitably be used by him at some stage.

But everyone

Excuse me! We have no choice but to be used by him! ”
