Hogwarts Everything is Three

On the coast, the sea breeze rustled the flag of England, and the militiamen’s tents were stationed on the coast of the Isle of Wight, where King Harold built a line of defense around his kingdom.

Odegar led a group of people to climb down from the sea cliff with a thick hemp rope, still panting, looking around the actions of the militiamen.

Leofrick, who was close by his side, helped his best friend Tofi stand firm, frowned and watched the scenes of soldiers who were free and idle, and couldn't help asking: "Oh Almighty Lord, Odegar, you really take it seriously, huh?"

"They will come, as soon as the wind is in their favor. The Normans will ride the night ashore, and when the day breaks, there will be nothing but ashes." Odgar did not relax, but turned to look at Leo Fry. Ke patiently explained his concerns to the other party.

On a tree on the sea cliff not far from them, a shadowed three-eyed raven stared sharply at them, while the other one, already flying across the English Channel to Normandy, was trying to travel along Along the coastline, search for the army station of the illegitimate son Duke William near Caen.

In the castle of Caen, William has released a series of policies that support his invasion plan for months.

Although the people in Normandy at first wanted their lord to conquer the same religion across the sea because of their belief problems, they tried to achieve the purpose of usurping the throne by killing a king who had undergone a sacred oil ritual and was elected by the Lord for his people. There was no confidence, but William quickly reacted to this. He realized that he needed a higher level of power to support his actions.

William, Duke of Normandy, and his Duchess Matilda were both devout believers. Although a large part of it was for the atonement of the couple who were distant cousins ​​but still married, they donated and built two majestic monasteries. Show piety.

A good religious reputation, coupled with the fact that William’s envoys sent to Rome to beautify his aggression brought enough tributes and sufficient eloquent reasons—that is, the former King Edward of England promised to pass on him 15 years ago. , And even the current King of England Harold Gwenson himself was arrested two years ago when he was still an earl when a storm blew him from the English Channel to French territory on a voyage. It was William. Freed Harold and brought him back to Normandy. Harold swore to the religious relics in Normandy, promising to support William's claim to the throne of England and to declare allegiance to him. These factors led William's envoy to list William's claims. After those clauses were petitioned to Pope Alexander, they were approved by the opponent and accepted all the clauses of William. He even gave the illegitimate son a flag representing the Holy See, allowing his soldiers to take on the upcoming battlefield.

It is really important for William to get the support of the Holy See. From the point of declaring legalization, he can be said to be adhering to the will of God to declare his sovereignty over England. Anyone who opposes him is guilty, which makes William Famous, it can even be regarded as an ups and downs battle.

And now, William, who is gathering a huge fleet, horses, and soldiers in Divot-sur-Mer near Caen, Normandy, has successfully suppressed public opinion under the blessing of the Lord, which makes him even more powerful. All of this was bad news for King Harold and Anglo-Saxon England-except for the unusually long north wind that lasted the entire late summer. These strong winds helped the Vikings quickly sail south. In order to make William himself and his fleet in the south the biggest obstacle when he wants to safely cross the English Channel, he can only be forced to stay in place and sigh, and the wind will not change as in previous years. The illegitimate prince has to consume every day. Feed his idle soldiers and horses with food and grass. The gathering place has gradually been flooded with dung made by people and horses that are too late to be transported...

On the other side of the strait, the conscripts and the lanky Leovrik saw a similar scene. They even found their new king Harold in his most loyal and close brother Goss, the Earl of East Anglia. Accompanied by Gwensen, he was walking along the coastline as if doing nothing.

Harold still didn't realize the threat from the Vikings. Although he and his brother had been stationed here for a long time, he and his brother still focused on the enemy on the other side of the sea.

Goss was half a step behind his brother. He looked at the unremarkable English Strait and said anxiously to his brother in front of him: "In short, it's a matter of time."

Seeing his brother frowned, Harold turned his head back and asked Goss in a relaxed tone: "Have you heard what people think of him in Normandy?".

"What do you think?" Goss didn't notice the ironic tone of his brother's mouth, and asked suspiciously.

"His enemies called him "William the bastard." Some people in Normandy called him Stooges. Even the residents around Alençon had hung animal skins on the walls and slapped him to laugh at him-he once shed tears." Rod described the well-known information of William to his brother with a gossiping face.

Hearing this, Goss first smiled with his brother, then his expression returned to a little seriousness: "So he cut off the hands and feet of those people."

"Hahahaha..." Harold laughed, "hehe, but can you blame him?"

Goss finally stopped worrying. He took out the bread in his pocket and took a big bite, looked at the older brother in front of him, and remembered that he used to consolidate the relationship with the northern nobles that had been damaged by Tosti. Abandoned his wife Edith Svannik for twenty years, and then married the sister of Northumbria and the Earl of Mercia, her name is also Edith, so he said to his brother with a smile on his face, "At least you got a queen. So, two Ediths?"

Harold raised an eyebrow and hummed slightly proudly.

"Their meeting must be very interesting. Can you let me see it once?" Goss continued to joke with his brother, sister-in-law, and ex-sister-in-law-Harold did not answer this time, but directly reached out and put his brother in the hand The bite of bread robbed it and ate it~www.ltnovel.com~ Goss, who was robbed of bread, turned around and looked at the conscripted militiamen who were constantly coming to join the defense line: "But what does this **** think, We can't wait here forever."

A few days later, the north wind that trapped William and his army in Kaundivo sent Norwegian King Harald Haderada to the place where he planned to attack. They had entered the Us River by sea.

At this time, King Harold on the Isle of Wight still didn’t know what the Vikings were doing. He waited and waited, but the war never happened. The King of England boldly hoped that his kingdom was safe and had entered. William in the harvest season can’t come here again this year, because he himself is also facing a big trouble. The two months of service that his tax can provide is about to end, because of the bad name of William of Normandy and his brother Tos who made trouble before. Tie has consumed a lot of his army, and the people of England also need these soldiers to help collect food during the harvest.

Therefore, Harold has begun to gradually disband his troops, order his fleet to return to London, and let the nobles and their soldiers who have served for a long time return to their fiefs first, and even some long-serving militias. He also began to return to their respective villages to help harvest, and he himself began to return to London. The Isle of Wight only left some newly recruited militia groups like Leofric and Tofi and a few professional guards.

And the most pitiful are the farmers who have just arrived in the north of England. How do they know that when they just arrived on the Isle of Wight, they routinely waited for William, who almost all Anglo-Saxons thought would not come again this year, Hundreds of miles to the north, the Vikings have quietly landed ashore.
