Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 169 4.29 Duchess Letty Coldstone

Letty Coldstone rode on the back of her iconic tundra rhinoceros and stood quietly in front of the castle gate of Frost Rain Castle.

Behind her stood the last 200 yak knights in the city

As the countess of the Viking frost people, Letty is nearly 2 meters tall. Like all Frost People women, her skin is as crystal clear as snow, her nose is high, her eyes are deep, and her eyes are blue. She is a rare Viking beauty. But people who are familiar with her know that Letty's ability to become the Duchess of Frostfree Ridge did not rely on her beauty.

She is the savior who truly leads Shuang people from poverty to wealth.

Because of its extremely high dimensions, Frost Ridge has the coldest climate in Scandinavia. Even in midsummer, snowflakes often fall in the frosty ridge. Therefore, this is the most barren land among the 7 Viking provinces.

Before Leti became the leader of the tribe, the Frost People's lifestyle was no different from the Viking hunters in other provinces. Men herd yaks, while women worked on the barren land early in the morning and home late at night, so that they could earn a meager ration of food in the autumn. The barrenness of the land has caused the Viking Frost People to be sparse in number for a long time. More and more Frost People choose to migrate out of the Frost Mountains and seek life in the richer Dragon's Breath Plateau in the south.

In the process of population loss, Countess Letty appeared.

Leti was not born in Scandinavia, but in the Apennine Peninsula, which is extremely far away from here. Her biological father was a mercenary who fought for the Byzantine King Michael II as a "saber-tooth mercenary". Because she was born and grew up in the Mediterranean, where trade was valued, Leti's vision was completely different from that of other Vikings.

Here, she understood a crucial theorem: trade is better than hard work.

When she grew up, Leti's biological father died in a battle. Like all the children of the Varyag Guards, she wanted to take his dead father's ashes back to Frost Ridge for burial. And it was only after she returned to her hometown that he discovered that his father was actually of royal blood. In this barren land, the royal family would rather go out as mercenaries than stick to this barren land.

With no competition, Letty successfully became the clan leader.

The first reform she embarked on was to completely abandon the hundreds of acres of barren saline-alkali land in the territory. He sold iron to buy a whaling ship and ordered the whole family to go to sea to hunt whales.

Although there is nothing in Frost Ridge, the Norwegian Sea, which is not far from the frozen coast, is the habitat of seals, walruses and whales. In the past, the Viking Frostmen would only go out to sea to catch these ugly creatures that were not delicious to feed themselves when they were desperate. Although that layer of slimy and greasy fat contains extremely high calories, frost people rarely eat it.

Because almost no one would swallow this stuff without triggering vomiting.

However, Leti has broadened her horizons in the Mediterranean, where maritime trade is extremely prosperous. Leti, who has worked in a Roman merchant's shop since she was a child, has a deep understanding of the huge profits contained in whale oil, elephant ivory and seal leather. These goods have always been popular goods in major fine workshops in Paris, and they are almost always priceless.

Since the whaling ships of Frost Rain Castle began to operate, the frost people quickly mastered the technology of whaling and boiling whale oil under the guidance of Roman merchants, and their income began to rise sharply. The ruined pearl of the Western Continent, "Paris", cherishes the living creatures in the hands of the frost people the most. In order to obtain fine soap and smooth leopard skins every spring, the noble ladies in Paris would hire priests from the Holy Bishop to perform rituals and pray that this year's Viking Frostmen would be able to hunt for the supplies they urgently needed.

In the past ten years, Shuang people have developed fixed living habits. In spring and summer, the whole family went out to hunt, transported goods to Constantinople, and exchanged gold coins with French merchants. In autumn, they would return to their ships again and sail eastward to the Slavic lands to plunder food, women, and supplies for the winter.

No one in the clan is engaged in production.

Relying on the new trade routes developed by Letty Coldstone, all the frost people in Frost Frost Ridge took off and quickly became rich. In just ten years, Frost Rain Castle has become the most prosperous city in the three provinces east of the Tianduan Mountains.

So it was almost inevitable that she would be targeted by Buchan Bush.

Letty narrowed her eyes and slashed at the nearly endless Slavic army in the vast wilderness. She couldn't help but think of what her bloody father said to her before he died: "There is no difference between being a mercenary and a pirate. When you pick up a weapon to kill people, you must be aware of being killed in return."

The Frost People are not engaged in production, and every year they travel eastward to Slavia to rob their land of food, and today is the time when they need to pay off their debts.

"King Bakanbusi, I have heard that you are the best Slavic warrior! Don't tell me secretly. The meager strength of our Frost and Rain Castle cannot stop your army. However, if you can give me The warriors under my command will have a chance to fight, and your reputation will be praised forever in my territory."

Leti stood in the center of the two armies. This was the first time she had faced such a large army since she became the lord. An army of fifteen thousand people covered the snow-white plain in front of the gate of Frost Rain Castle, like a lush forest suddenly growing out of the plains. The mist exhaled by these angry slaves simply breathed out, forming a snow-white dark cloud.

Everyone's eyes were shining with the flame of greed.

The Duchess knew in her heart that this battle was inevitable. The reason is simple. Before Bakanbusi arrived, she had ordered her men to execute all the Slavic slaves in Frost Ridge overnight.

At least five thousand lives have been lost in the last three days. Their corpses were even being piled up beside the city wall at this time, before they had time to deal with them.

"Haha, a duel? After destroying the Dragon's Breath Cave, our army still has 15,000 people left. Just these 200 cavalry behind you, what do you want?"

Oleg had just finished speaking when Bakanbusch stretched out his big hand to stop him, and one person and one bear walked to the front of the formation. He smiled slightly, showing his white teeth.

"Oh Well!"

"I have been wandering around your land for several months, killing old people and children. I have had enough of this kind of useless life!"

"It would be best if you, little girl, could come up with some tough tricks to make me happy!"

Letty's eyes widened in disbelief.

Slavic armies suddenly appeared in Scandinavia, and there were almost no soldiers in her cities who could be used to fight. Inviting Bakanbusi to a duel was a helpless move. It was a desperate fight that she came up with as a lord. However, she never expected that Buchan Bushi would actually agree.

She looked at the few guards behind her who had been hired with large sums of money from Constantinople, and nodded in surprise.
