The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 51: Hadar of Vinland

   In the process of the Great Lake Tribe defeat and the pursuit of the Viking Legion, the morale of both sides went down one after another. The warriors of the Long Lake Tribe either surrendered or were killed, and only half of them were left after they all fled into the city and closed the gate.

   The Viking Militia Corps blocked the east gate of the Changhu Tribe, and the warrior regiment on one side took care of the nearly 1,000 captured Changhu Warriors.

   The remnants of France and the Long Lake tribes, you bravely hid in the city like bereavement dogs, surrounded by wooden sticks behind the city gate in front of the temple, waiting for the command of the high priest.

The high priest of the Changhu tribe learned of the result of the defeat, and saw that his afterimage was almost faint. He was so distressed that he couldn't believe that his three thousand army, supported by 500 French troops, was quickly defeated by only one thousand. Human Herut City Army.

   Francis also had a pale face, a trance, and his clothes crooked. It was difficult for him to accept the fact that he was defeated by the rabble Icelanders, and he still had more people on one side and fewer people on the other.

   Behind Francis were fewer than 130 French soldiers. They were all disheveled and dusty. Many of them even lost their muskets.

   Viking militiamen outside the castle surrounded the gate. After the sound of horseshoes, the four leaders came to the gate to observe the low castle.

   "Innocent savages! Do they think this tiny castle can stop us?" Hagrid sneered.

   "I think you can't stand it if you bombard them!" Hudike also said.

   Raising his whip and pointing at the city wall in front of him, Hadar said in a cold voice: "Yes! What's the use of them hiding in? The order goes on, and the artillery keeps blasting in, when will they surrender and when will we cease fire!"

As Hadar’s order passed down, eighteen artillery guns were pulled to the front of the city, and after Hudick adjusted the barrels himself, the twelve artillery barrels turned up to the sky at a 45-degree angle, and twelve shells were fired at the same time. The iron ball whizzed out and fell into the city, while the remaining six cannons fired at the city wall and gate.

  As the shells fell into the city, the warriors gathered in front of the temple were instantly killed and injured. Francis hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the high priest to his knees, and then got into the back of the temple.

"boom……"

   Hadar’s army carried enough artillery shells and gunpowder packs. After half an hour of bombardment, the gate was broken and dumped, and the warriors in the city fled to every corner.

   Through the doorway, you can see that there is almost no resistance inside. After Hahahaha laughed, and Kadir took the lead in riding into the city with a team of spearmen, musketeers, and white wolf soldiers on horseback.

   Then the Viking militias and warriors all rushed into the city and scattered to beat, smash and burn. The shouts of killing and crying in the city instantly sounded in every corner.

   When the sun was westward, every member of the Viking Corps returned with full success, returning to the temple with fur, jade, and slaves.

   White wolf samurai and many other warriors also returned to the temple with their captives and iron objects such as glass balls, mirrors, swords and so on.

   Hadar and Hagrid climbed the stone steps in front of the temple, while Hudik and Kadir maintained discipline in the city.

   After a while, Valitu and Lund, and Francis and the high priest, who were crushed by the black stone, came over.

Hagrid sneered, took out the arquebus that was full of bullets behind him, and smashed the head of the high priest in front of more than 6,000 people in the city. Then he smiled cruelly: "This is the fate of the blasphemer. ! Who else wants to resist? Unwilling to submit to the city of Groot?"

   Black Stone and many warriors repeated Hagrid's words in Beotuk, so that everyone in the city could hear them clearly, and then all the savages knelt on the ground in panic and pain.

   Hadar didn't say a word, looked at Francis, and found that the young Frenchman seemed to be frightened by the body of the high priest who killed Hagrid next to him, so he asked: "Young man, what is your name?"

   Hadar is forty-two years old this year, looking at Francis in front of him calmly.

Francis has always considered himself a brave French soldier who pursues honor. Even in the face of death, he will not hesitate to show the demeanor of aristocrats and soldiers of the kingdom, but he was defeated and saw the white-bearded man shot and collapsed. Behind the high priest's head, Francis was nervous when he smelled the blood on the tip of his nose, and sweat broke out all over his body.

After Hadar asked himself happily, the knowledgeable Francis heard that the giant was talking about a mixture of Latin and English with some accents. Fortunately, he could understand, so he could no longer afford the French aristocracy. , The body involuntarily saluted and said in English: "Your Excellency! I am Francis de Bourbon, an officer of the Kingdom of France in New France."

"Oh? The nobleman of the Bourbon family?" When Hadar heard Francis's surname, he thought about moving forward and proactively stretched out his hand, saying: "The battlefield is ruthless, but in this uncivilized primitive wasteland, we are You can make a friend! Just like my brother Hagrid and Mr. Champlain, be a mutually supportive friend, what do you say? Mr. Bourbon?"

Francis breathed a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't help but increase his affection for Hadar. Then he squeezed Hadar's wide palm, looked up at this gentleman, and smiled: "Yes! I didn't know that it was Champlain before the war. Friends, your city of Herut is also well-known in New France. We also have old friendships with the Changhu tribe, so we have a misunderstanding. I hope you will understand!"

   "It's okay, we don't know each other!" Hadar smiled and slapped Francis with the dust.

   "Your Excellency..." Francis blushed and retorted.

"I'm sorry!" Hadar said, turning his head, "Hudik, we are going to rest in the city tonight, you go to arrange a table of food, I want to talk to Mr. Bourbon, and apologize for him! Go! "

  ……

   Before the war, Francis did not look down on Hadar and others, but after the defeat, he became a prisoner. Life and death were all within the mind of others. Francis, who was given preferential treatment and respect, already had a great affection for Hadar.

   At the banquet that night, Hadar and Francis were sitting next to each other, accompanied by Hagrid, Hudik, and Kadel.

"I have sent someone to properly arrange your soldiers~www.wuxiahere.com~ to provide them with wine and meat. By tomorrow, you can leave Vinland and return to New France!" After a full meal, Hadar looked like Suddenly remembered and said.

   "Thank you for your generosity!" Francis smiled and nodded. Now he has changed into a clean and tidy military uniform. He looks like two people in the afternoon.

During the meal, the two parties had a friendly and cordial conversation. First of all, Francis expressed his understanding about Hadar's conquest of Long Lake and unification of Vinland, and explained that he would return to New France to seek the consent of the Governor of Champlain, and then promote the new France. The relationship of equal cooperation with Wenlan.

Hadar knew very well that his weak foundation could not completely turn his face with the French and British colonists, but after showing his muscles properly, he could gain the respect of their two neighbors, and then let them face the reality of unifying Vinland. It will play a role in getting respect and attention to the exchanges and transactions between Vinland and New France and New England in the next step.

   Hadar originally wanted to capture the French soldiers, and then let the New France come to redeem them, and if they didn’t redeem, they would become white slaves.

But after knowing that Francis was a member of the Bourbon family and the highest commander of the new French army, his position was second only to Governor-General Champlain, Hadar changed his mind, prepared to win Francis, and then sought the opposition of New France. My support is at least tacitly acquiescing to my sovereignty over Wenlan.

   Through Francis's performance, Hadar saw that he had agreed, and the next step depends on Champlain's attitude.

   Hadar thinks that he does not want to offend the two neighbors of New France and New England, so after they find that Vinland is not easy to provoke, they should also have a good relationship with their neighbor.
