Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 286 6.34 Backhand

Ecbert was a very lucky man.

His whole life was spent in enduring "luck".

Before he was born, his biological mother - "Margaret of Dragonfly Island" was not the old king's favorite concubine, and she was not one of the top names in the Wessex Palace in terms of origin and appearance.

However, just two months after Ecbert was born, an epidemic suddenly broke out in the palace of Wessex.

Nearly half of the concubines, eunuchs and favored ministers died, including Lao Wang’s queen, as well as the first, second, third and fourth heirs in line.

When the Kingdom of Wessex reestablished order from this disaster, the old king was surprised to find that all the surviving princes were either fools or comrades, and only Ecbert seemed to be a normal person.

Therefore, Ecbert changed his identity and inherited the Griffin family crest.

He became the crown prince.

The trajectory of his life has also been rewritten since then.

According to ancient customs inherited from ancient Roman times, princes need to travel when they turn 18. On the one hand, it is to get out of the palace, get close to the people personally, and understand what kind of life the mortals in the kingdom live.

On the other hand, it is to temper oneself, imitate those legendary rangers and heroes described by the troubadour, and go deep into the uninhabited mountains to complete legendary adventures.

For the princes of other countries, the adult trials are just a formality. They will choose to stay in luxurious hotels surrounded by servants and guards along the way, treat all travelers they meet to drink, and seduce all the young girls along the way.

As for the adventure stories of the princes, some down-and-out bookmakers and bards would rewrite and sung them. As long as they have enough silver coins, they can easily weave a bunch of fantasy stories like "catch the moon in the sky, catch turtles in the five oceans".

The people outside the city don't need to know the legendary stories of the princes at all, they just need to read them to the maids in the palace.

Anyway, these girls will never come out of the deep palace in their lives. They will read whatever the bookmakers write.

But Ecbert was different.

With one man and one sword, he experienced a real adventure.

No one knows where he went after leaving the imperial city.

No one knows what he went through along the way.

Three years later, when he came back, he was accompanied by seven women in red. The leader was none other than "Iphitus Xueqin" who would later be known as the "Red Queen"

Regarding the origins of these seven people, the generally accepted theory in the Kingdom of Wessex is that Prince Ecbert walked into an ancient ruins and awakened seven gods who had survived from ancient times to the present day.

Iphitus and the six identical-looking female warriors behind him are all ancient gods who do not belong to human society.

Each of them possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth.

When Ecbert was 21 years old, the mysterious legend passed down by folk was confirmed.

In AD 788, the previous King of Kent, Elbert, ordered the Archbishop of Canterbury to secretly launch a military coup in Southampton, the capital of the Kingdom of Wessex, due to serious disagreements over tariffs.

The chief of the royal guards, "Winsare" and his 3,000 royal guards, were bewitched by the Supreme Preacher and suddenly imprisoned the old king. At the same time, martial law was imposed on the capital "Southampton", blocking all troops from entering the city gate.

That night, Winsare thought that the Wessex royal family, which had neither an army nor a warrior, would be as docile as a lamb. However, when the boundless red blood mist drifted out from the imperial city.

He knew he was wrong.

How wrong it is.

In the thick blood mist that made them blind, the 3,000 imperial guards could not see either their companions or their enemies.

They could only hear the miserable howls one after another through their ears. From the beginning of the killing to the last trembling soldier committing suicide in the blood mist, the entire battle did not even last until the morning of the next day.

When the blood mist dissipated, only 3,000 skeletons remained in the palace.

All flesh and blood tissue attached to the skeleton has evaporated.

After this battle, Lao Wang sighed and announced his abdication. Ecbert, who was only 21 years old, sat on the throne of king.

He knew that everything he owned could not be separated from the "Red Queen" Iphitos found in the ancient city, so no matter where he went, he took these crimson apostles with him behind him.

"My King"

"I originally thought you were born a lucky person, but I didn't expect this boy named Loki Starrag to be much luckier than me!"

"If we hadn't 'happened' to leave the farm when he raided the Fisher Farm, this kid would have been wailing in pain under the hands of 'King Rafael Sal'."

"In more than seventy years of living, I have never seen a mortal resist the divine power from the Bloody Creator.

You must know that in this starry sky, no ethnic group knows how to transform the body to adapt to the environment better than the Blood Creator lineage! "

Iphitus stood in front of the tall porthole, looking at the sky that was gradually turning fish belly white.

"I feel the appearance of the blood mist illusion."

"I even felt my clan's powerful 'God King' trying to travel through time and space to avoid obstacles and forcefully descend on this land!"

"My king!

If I choose to send troops at this time, as long as I can capture Loki, King Rafasal and the 'Fire Sui Emperor' will grant me supreme divine power. I will even be qualified as a divine envoy and serve the divine kings permanently. ! "

On the warm bed, Ecbert did not get up. He looked at Iphitus's supple waistline and recalled in his mind a meeting he had with the Viking King "Ivar O'Sullivan" two years ago.

Two years ago, they attended the coming-of-age ceremony of the French Crown Prince François Plantagenet. The wealthy Plantagenet family invited all the royal families around the Mediterranean continent. Among them, the one who impressed Ecbert the most was "Ivar O'Sullivan" from the bitter cold land.

In the extremely luxurious Grand Palais in Paris, he wore a silk gown and had cordial conversations with all the envoys in seven languages ​​without distinction. During the banquet, Ecbert was surprised to find that in the eyes of the princes and nobles of the Western Continent, Ivar's reputation was even greater than that of himself, the Lord of Wessex!

Everyone looked at him with a smile on their faces, like an old friend they hadn't seen for many years.

This incident completely shattered the Hokuriku Vikings' stereotype of Ivar. Thinking back to the joint invasion last fall, the three dragon knights seemed to melt into the air, and even the information dealers of the "Volcan Cult" He couldn't even tell how his dragon died.

His intuition told him that no matter Ivar or Loki, these two people should not be underestimated.

At this time, when they broke through the defense line and united the two forces together, it was even more foolish to send troops to fight against them without authorization. Two originally discordant Viking lords were forced to unite in Ningcheng under the invasion of foreign enemies.

And once these two people join forces

The consequences cannot be solved by the Crimson Apostles around him.

"My dear madam." Ecbert rolled out of bed, pulled a silk gown and put it on.

"In the disputes in human society, many times we do not need to personally solve the enemies we face."

"Letting one enemy kill another enemy and letting our opponents kill each other and fall into civil strife is the correct way for countries to get along."

"So I thought it was time to bring out our old friend Hummel Blood Pigeon!"
