I have a lot of wives

In the previous conversation with him, Lu Cheng used some vague words to fudge Knut a little.Let him have an illusion that "the other party will help himself".

But when Lu Cheng left and went back to sleep, King Knut thought about it and found that Lu Cheng was talking inaccurate nonsense.

"What does he mean? Why does he appear here. What is his attitude towards the Varangians? What is his purpose?"

King Knut thought, arranging the possibilities of Lu Cheng's purpose from simple to complex.

First of all, Lu Cheng is here for his granddaughter Princess Xueni.Escorting her back here is entirely because of Princess Xue Ni's peerless demeanor-this can be seen in the performance of those unconvincing guys under Lu Cheng after Lu Cheng went back to rest.

The young people almost made it clear, expecting King Knut to make some expressions about Princess Xueni's marriage.

Even many old nobles who did not succeed in pursuing Princess Christina back then felt this way.

This made King Knut feel a bit distressed.

In all fairness, if you regard Princess Xue Ni as a carrot hanging in front of the horse, urging his subordinates to work hard and fight for themselves.Knut has no psychological burden.

Isn't it true of almost all aristocratic women in this era?

He is willing to marry his daughter to an emperor who is not much younger than him. Is it because he wants to fulfill her love?

But Princess Xueni is different.Because Archbishop Lu Cheng--

It's fine if the archbishop is simply a power holder.However, in addition to the identity of the actual controller of Arbashi, the archbishop has a more important identity, that is, the legend... No, after the latest intelligence correction, the current Archbishop Lu Cheng should already be a demigod.

——King Knut, who didn't know the specific circumstances that happened in the Emerald Forest, could only judge based on some second-hand information, in any case could not think of Lu Cheng's true strength.

Of course he is not to blame.

Even Otto I, who knew the specific situation, made a mistake in evaluating Lu Cheng's intelligence.Not to mention him.

The existence of such a huge variable prevents King Knut from arbitrarily determining Yukino's fate.

"But not right."

But then, King Knut ruled out this view-if Lu Cheng really wanted Yukino under Yukoshita, why should she be sent here?Isn't it good to bring back to Alba simply?

"Then, his purpose is to make good friends with the Varangians?"

King Knut quickly made a second judgment.And I think this judgment is more correct.

The Albashis are now facing an imperial attack.So the archbishop wanted to form an alliance with the Varangians to fight the empire together.It is also a great possibility.

"So, should I choose Albashi or Faroese?"

This thinking did not last long.King Knut made the decision.

He would not choose either.Sitting happily and watching success or failure

If the Albashis can destabilize the forces of the Holy Faro Empire and even strike the Empire, then they may be able to take advantage of the fire.But do you want to save Arbas and share the risks with Arbas?That's it.

He is not an idiot, how could he do such a thing?

...

"That's it. Soldiers will be dispatched tomorrow. Then we have to have a good chat with the archbishop."

With this thought, Knut was about to fall asleep--

But before that.

"Ha ha."

He heard a mocking laugh.

"..."

"Who?!"

King Knut subconsciously touched the long sword beside his pillow.At the same time, the ironic voice sounded again:

"Your Majesty. Do you really think you have enough power to fight against the great empire?"

"..."

"Assassins of the Faroese?!"

"of course not."

The other party's voice continued to be cheerful: "It's a diplomat, Your Majesty."

Chapter 22, meet again, what a coincidence

The next day.

A large number of galleys whose bows were carved into dragon heads were pushed from the shore into the sea by the powerful Varangians.

The drums are blasting and the horns are noisy.The Varangian coalition marched towards the other side of the ocean.

The legendary spellcaster blew strong winds, dispersed the sea fog, and inflated the sails of the dragon head battleship.

This single-deck, no-cabin galley looks very simple under Lu Cheng and Xue.But the people of Varangi used such simple ships to sail and trade, and their footprints even crossed the vast endless ocean to reach the New World.

Their adventurous spirit and fighting will are sufficient.It is currently one of the sources of the strongest fighters and excellent sailors in the Western Continent.

The Holy Faro Empire and the Argos Empire both liked these Varangians from the north, and would recruit a considerable number of Varangians as their court guards.

"Poor mountains and evil waters not only bring forth the evil people, but also the elite soldiers who are not afraid of death."

Sitting on the largest warship, Lu Cheng couldn't help sighing as he watched the densely packed warships moving forward on the sea.

And beside him, Xue Nai under the cloak of Xue Nai calmly said nothing, just staring at the water in a daze.

"Yes, the number of these Varangians is more than 30,000. The average level unexpectedly exceeds the 20th level. This level has reached the level of the professional troops of the Faro Empire."

On the other side of Lu Cheng, a cute girl with short hair and a nun's robe sighed in a plain tone.

"Kato-san."

Lu Cheng was a little surprised: "Seeing you in a place like this is really...well, how can I say it, a bit surprised."

"I don't want to either." Kato Megumi's voice was still light and fluttering: "First it was the Emerald Forest, and now it is the Ice Sea. That old grandpa is too good at calling people."

"Yeah, that guy is not an ordinary person."

"Student Lu Cheng, really think so too."

"Uh, uh, yes, Kato-san."
