Chapter 363 7.17 Mutu's Plan
As an old lizard, Mutu was able to become one of the 12 "suzerains" and successfully conquered the Mediterranean, which is very important in human civilization. Whether in terms of intelligence, adaptability, or even stress resistance, he is also quite outstanding among the tribe.
Even though he lost all his subordinates in an extremely unfavorable situation, he did not want to give up, but concentrated on thinking about how to win back this game in a winter.
After thinking it over, the key to breaking the game is to first eliminate the troublemaker named "Loki".
After seeing the powerful fighting ability of Loki and the Vikings, the "suzerain" knew that even if he found the "deep diver", one of the three "abyss priests" in the "Dagon Cult", and relied solely on force for a face-to-face confrontation, he had no confidence that he could threaten Loki's life.
Compared with the brutal head-on confrontation, it is obviously a better choice to use the enemy's allies to divide them from the inside.
The lizard people who have been hiding in human civilization for tens of thousands of years are well aware of this. In the rise and fall of several civilizations, they secretly developed peripheral members in the name of "Illuminati", planned large-scale wars again and again, and then successfully cultivated allies in the cracks of war, accumulated wealth, and waited for opportunities to expand.
It was never the "Illuminati" that destroyed mankind, but mankind itself.
At this time, Loki was still surrounded by the seven countries of England.
The biggest reason why the seven countries were able to form a superficial peace with him was the protons he had.
And among all the protons, the most important one was Prince Alfred of Wessex.
Hiding in the Western Continent for tens of thousands of years, the suzerain knew all the ethnic groups on this land very well. He knew that the Vikings were a group of barbarians who would catch fire and not recognize their relatives after picking up the axe.
Therefore, when the spy of the "Zoroastrianism" sent intelligence and informed that "Alfred" was about to appear near the border of the Normandy region, the "suzerain" immediately found Andre who rented the "Yun Province".
The whole drama of taking possession of a common woman and then "accidentally" letting her escape was all calculated by the master himself, and the "deep diver" performed divination.
The result of the divination showed that Alfred had at least a 30% chance of encountering the rescue team sent by Clint and appearing in Yun Province with the Vikings.
Sure enough, the master's bet was right.
At this time, Alfred had successfully entered the castle.
His plan had been completed by 90%.
**
The castle where Andre lived was not built by him personally, but was taken from the castle built by a prince of a branch of the "Elan Family".
Originally, this castle built in the Baiyun Valley was just a short-term residence for him to enjoy the flowers in summer. However, for the English, even a holiday castle
It covers an area of about 3,000 square meters.
In the eyes of the French, the English are outstanding representatives of "stupidity". Whether it is food, clothing, or castles, their creations have an indelible rusticity, which is completely different from the French people's refinement and luxury.
Andre had thought about demolishing the castle and rebuilding it, but the project was too huge and lengthy, so he gave up the decision.
At this time, the outer city of the castle was inhabited by all the gardeners from the French Duchy, as well as the cooks, servants, grooms and other servants.
The middle floor of the castle was where Andre hired the French mercenaries.
The innermost floor was where he, his mistress, his male favorite, and his personal guards lived.
After walking out of the "Water City" last summer, old man Clint followed Loki to attack the city and capture the castle. He was familiar with the castle structure commonly used by the English.
According to the normal "siege process", now he led the army to drive straight in. The crossbowmen who were originally guarding the tower should immediately go down the wall and rely on the complex building terrain in the city to engage in street fighting with them, so as to cover the retreat of the lord in the rear.
However, after breaking through the city gate and entering the castle, the whole fortress was unusually quiet.
Just a few minutes ago, the guards who were shouting loudly on the top of the castle and firing crossbows seemed to melt into the air. What appeared before the Vikings was a quiet and even eerie city.
There were no sounds of women and children shivering in the cold.
There were no chaotic crowds running on the streets.
There was not even a single poultry like chickens, ducks, and geese that every family would raise!
Clint clenched his axe, keenly aware of a hint of conspiracy.
However, the sharks, Fess, and Sanji who attacked the city behind him did not have as much combat experience as Clint. They looked at each other, their eyes flashing with greed.
No one would dislike having too much property, especially when they have tasted the fruits of life given by the middle class.
If you own 10 acres of good land, you will imagine that your territory will be expanded to 30 acres.
If you own a manor, you will immediately imagine that you can change the manor into a castle.
People's greed is endless. At this time, when they enter the city of a French lord, facing this huge wealth that fell from the sky, they can't think of any "conspiracy" at all.
Everyone roared and rushed into the city, rummaging through boxes and cabinets and began to hack and kill civilians in houses. Not only the Vikings, but also the English in Normandy fully released their brutality.
Only Clint and Alfred stood at the end of the queue.
Clint's hesitation came from his rich combat experience.
In the 62 years of war, he had seen that people of different races could come up with all kinds of bizarre and fancy ways to try to kill each other.
His intuition told him that what was happening in front of him seemed to indicate an ambush. But for the Vikings, they were naturally dull to the word "ambush".
For them, the difference between a face-to-face battle and a deadly battle after being surrounded was not obvious. Anyway, all battles required swinging the axe until the last enemy was eliminated.
Being ambushed or ambushed was just killing a few hundred more enemies.
**
Compared with Clint, Alfred had more doubts in his heart.
First, he smelled a faint fishy smell floating in the air inside the castle.
You know, the castle is located at the end of the White Cloud Valley, and this valley only produces "White Cloud Night", and the coastline is still a few kilometers away from the castle.
It's okay that there is no flower fragrance in the air, but a smell like "fishy smell" is absolutely impossible to appear in the castle of exquisite French nobles.
This is completely inconsistent with their living habits.
Secondly, when he walked to the streets of the outer city, he found that the houses were not empty.
In the houses, there were flower farmers who stayed behind and their wives, daughters and heirs. However, facing the Vikings' axes, they looked stupid and did not dodge.
The axes chopped into their bodies, and they fell silently like trees.
The blood that flowed out after death was also very rare.
Upon careful observation, it was not difficult to find that their pale body tissues seemed to have already gone through the "bleeding" step. When this group of dull-looking living people were chopped down by the axes, the rotten fishy smell in the castle that made people feel stuffy became stronger.
It seemed that this smell came from the thin blood that flowed out after the residents died.
Although Alfred had little combat experience, he had received education belonging to the king in Constantinople after all.
The scholars' abundant secrets and thousands of years of research on gods told him that the city in front of him was not as harmless as he imagined. Something more terrible must have happened in the city.
He drew out his silver sword and walked towards the city wall behind him.
