The next morning, Enal led the group of priests out of the barracks and went to find the position of Novgorod's hostile force. The group of priests had not walked such a long distance for a long time. In less than a while, they were so tired that they lay in a coniferous forest.

Suddenly someone shouted: "There are enemies over there!"

The priests were suddenly in anger, and they threw away the things in their hands and lay on the ground one by one. But when they waited, they could not see any enemies appear for a long time, and they couldn't help but raise them up and look around in confusion.

"Ah, it seems to be just a rabbit." The priest who shouted out first said embarrassedly.

The priests breathed a sigh of relief and continued to return to the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool air.

"Enar, why do we do such dangerous things?" a priest complained, "The Swedish king said that it doesn't matter if he doesn't succeed. She will give us the next chance to prove the power of the Asa tribe. Is this mission honestly not going to work next time?"

"Idiot, that sentence is not said to us, but to the soldiers around us. That woman wants to win people's hearts through her magnanimity!" Enal shouted at the priest, "Next chance? Who knows what she wants me to do next time? Who knows if it will be more difficult than this time? There are countless opportunities, which sounds nice - if we really fail so many times, even if she does nothing, there will be no place in the pirate kingdom!"

Suddenly another voice sounded: "Over there! There are ambushes over there!"

Before the butts of the priests could sit still, they jumped up again.

"Huh... it seems just the wind."

"Don't be surprised!"

The other priests sat back cursingly.

"Enar, this won't work!" another priest said, "We only have such a few people, and we don't have the strength to run. Once the enemy discovers us, all of us will be killed!"

Among all the priests, only Enal sat in place and did not move. Hearing the priest's words, he snorted from his nostrils: "What are you afraid of? We are not going to declare war."

"But this is the land of the pagans! They have enough reason to kill us!"

"Don't forget that we are the messengers of the King of Sweden. Even if the King of Sweden wants to get rid of us, in the eyes of the other party, the King of Sweden is our backer!"

Hearing Enal's words, the priests finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ella's 20,000 troops were stationed on the shore. Even pagans, under such deterrence, should not have taken action at will.

Suddenly a priest jumped up and pointed to the distance and said, "Not good... there are many enemies coming out over there!"

The other priests glared at him together: "Look clearly before speaking!"

The priest was so aggrieved that he was about to cry: "Yes, it's true!"

A strange voice suddenly sounded nearby: "Haha, of course it's true! And you can't run away! Come on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen strong men suddenly jumped out of the coniferous forest and pressed all the thin priests to the ground.

"Let us go!" Enal whispered, "We are the messengers of the King of Sweden, and her army has reached the coast of Novgorod, and you will not be willing to anger her."

"King of Sweden? I can't take this as if I didn't hear it. Are you referring to the very flat and small little girl? Is there a very round and large maid next to it?"

The sound just now sounded again. As the sound appeared in front of everyone, a man with an extremely tall figure blushing and shaking his walking, like drinking wine. He was also holding an exaggerated giant hammer in his hand.

Seeing the man's face, Enal shouted in surprise: "Oh! Liurik? Why are you?"

Suddenly being called, Liurik was obviously stunned for a moment. He bent down and squinted his eyes and looked at Enal carefully, then suddenly remembered something and patted his forehead: "Hmm? Isn't this Einal, the priest of Upland? Why are you free to come here?"

"Liurik, why are you here? Didn't you be killed by Ragner?"

Liurik's beard shook: "Die? Who said it? I'm not that easy to die! I'm Liurik, protected by Thor Thor!"

As he said that, Liurik raised the sledgehammer in his hand, and the sky suddenly became dark clouds and thunder rolled. Liurik put the sledgehammer and lightning slashed straight from the sky as if he was being pulled. The loud noise made Enal's left ear "buzz" and almost deaf.

"Is this...the elf-level protection?" Enal was surprised and happy, "Liulik, isn't your protection power weak?"

"Wind? Why weaken? I have become stronger than before! After all, I am Liurik, protected by Thor Thor!"

Liurik waved the hammer to the other side drunk. Another lightning flashed down, which made Enal's right ear come. Enal didn't care about the "buzzing" sound of left and right ears, and shouted excitedly at the sky: "This is a gift from the Asa Gods! Thanks Thor! Thanks Odin!"

The other priests also cried out in the way of Enal: "Thank Thor! Thank you Odin!"

Liurik's body was still shaking there: "Hmm? What's wrong? Is this a festival going to be held?"

Enal lowered his head and leaned into Liurik's ear and whispered: "Lirik... do you want to be the king of the entire Sweden?"

...

...

Ella sat on the "Flying Zealander" and counted the days day by day.

"It's the seventh day, the priests have not returned. Amy, do you think they were killed or are planning a plot against me?"

Amy replied lightly, "Didn't your Majesty already know it?"

Ella's expression showed a little sadness: "This is the first time I've been hitting a political enemy like this."

The power of Novgorod was led by Liurik - this information Haral gave Ella early in the morning. It was just that the priests thought Ella didn't know. Liurik believed in Thor, and there was no reason to kill the priests. So the priests did not return after the timeout, which only means that they had betrayed Ella.

"I said it doesn't matter even if I failed. I said it would give them countless opportunities. As long as they can prove that they are of some use, I can give them the right position... Why are they just unwilling to come back?"
