king of ros

Chapter 69 Pagan Trends
"Forgive...forgive me! All my money is in the basement, and I can take it all away!"

Outside the burning manor, several mobs were dragging the captured lord like a dead dog to the messy vestibule, where the bodyguards and peasants who had fought for their master were mixed together.

Facing the siege of a large mob, the defenders of this mansion persisted for a full hour, but they were still defeated by the successive enemies, and the massacre of the losers followed.

This gentleman is doing business with the imperial capital, so there are many precious flowers from the imperial capital in his vestibule, but they are all trampled to death like weeds by the farmers who once considered it a blasphemy to step here.

"I'm sorry, sir, you have to die. We have killed so many brothers to break into your place. This is to save your soul that was bewitched by the poor creature on the cross."

The disciple of Perun, whose face and body were covered with white ashes, held up a dagger with a silver handle, and cut open the belly of this once powerful business tycoon. The man let out a hoarse scream, and when the dagger pierced his heart For a moment, the screams stopped.

"The soul of the blasphemer has been sacrificed by me, and God Perun is very satisfied."

The worshiper stood up frantically, swinging the bloody dagger in his hand, as if to demonstrate his kill to the god Perun in the sky.

Those rioting peasants and citizens kept worshiping this believer. In their eyes, this was an extremely sacred moment, a moment of offering sacrifices to Perun in the sky.

After the sacrifice, it was time to happily share the offerings. Among them, those believers got the most. After all, they were the ones who set off this frenzy, and they controlled the development of the frenzy.

Today's Kyiv seems to have become a lawless place. The sudden riots instantly smashed the organization of the Vicher army. The Vicher militia was washed to pieces before they were organized.

Most of the nobles' personal soldiers and bodyguards followed the Grand Duke's expedition, and the total number in Kyiv city was only a few hundred, so it was impossible to go to the streets to quell the chaos.

As for the Grand Duke's personal soldiers, there are only a few hundred left behind. It is the limit to guard the Vladimir Palace. Their commanders dare not risk the risk of problems in the Vladimir Palace. Kyiv is the strongest Large armed groups can't be dispatched like this.

Without law enforcement, crimes will naturally become unscrupulous. All kinds of ugly incidents continue to happen under the sky of Kyiv. Looters are rampant and lawless.

The nomadic riders of the Black Hat Army ransacked the wealthy citizens of Kyiv in an orderly manner. Many of them have been to Kyiv in peacetime. They still know who is poor and who is rich. They robbed countless wealth and treasures , and cooperated with the mob to attack those difficult mansions and eat the extremely delicious tender meat inside.

Men were killed, women were raped, children were thrown into the fire, and Christians were dragged to death on the streets by war horses. Things that would not happen even in the wilderness on weekdays, are now happening in the center of civilization and in the cities of Ross. Mother Kyiv staged.

"My lord, it's not good. The dignitaries who know they can't resist will either go to the Vladimir Palace or the Hagia Sophia. The rest are mansions full of guards. These mansions are very difficult to attack. , we have to die every time we attack. As for the Hagia Sophia and the Vladimir Palace, there is nothing we can do there, the useless peasants collapse after being shot with a few arrows, and it is said that the militia of Vicher is gathering ..."

Not far from the burning mansion, several Perun believers were facing their leader. The old warlock reported the development of the situation in Kyiv. The warlock was wearing a black robe, and he didn't pay any attention to the flames in front of him. Wolf-skinned warriors carrying two-handed axes, many of them were covered in blood.

These wolf-skin warriors played a huge role in conquering the mansions of the powerful. After taking the secret medicine of the old warlock, these warriors fell into a state of incomparable fanaticism. Even piercing can't kill them immediately, but these people can still fight back fanatically.It was they who destroyed the confidence of the few guards, so that they were defeated and could only wait for their necks to be slaughtered.

Although the old warlock looked old, his thinking was completely absent, and he was still frighteningly active, and his body was covered with muscles, not like what an old man should look like at all.

Behind the warlock was a strong man carrying the statue of Perun. These people were also smeared with white ash on their faces, and there was a frenzy in their eyes. When they looked at the old warlock, their enthusiasm went up to a higher level.In their eyes, this sorcerer is omnipotent, there is nothing he cannot do, he is the spokesperson of the gods in the sky!
"Tell the herdsmen on the steppe to defeat the militia, and as a reward, they can capture Kyiv as slaves."

"Yes."

In this way, the old warlock lightly paid the Kyiv people in exchange for the help of those profit-seeking nomadic riders.However, in the eyes of Perun's believers, the people of Kyiv basically turned to the hypocritical cross god, so it is only right for them to suffer.

"Tell everyone, let's go to the temple of Christians. The blasphemous Rurik palace and noble mansions can be released first, but the temple of Christians must be destroyed."

Saying this, the old warlock looked at the stepped dome of the Hagia Sophia Cathedral, and a look of madness flashed in his eyes.

"We must break through there! Use the heads of those monks as a gift to the gods! Let us offer a great gift to the gods! Long live!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The fanatical cries of believers can be heard endlessly, and the glory of Christ seems to be overwhelmed and overshadowed by the prestige of paganism at this moment.

It's just that when everyone was in a frenzy, the warlock whispered to his cronies to make an escape plan and prepare for the need to escape.

Although the old warlock is a fanatic, he knows that it is reasonable to have a way out. Now his career looks like a flower, and the fire is cooking oil, but it is in danger and may fall into the abyss at any time.

The old warlock was able to form such a large pagan group because he always thought about how to retreat when everything was going well. It was his adherence to this principle that made him an object that the Polotsk Duke had to pay attention to. That's why the Duke of Polotsk invited him to Kyiv to stage this big drama, but he wouldn't be a gun for that one!

In fact, his purpose has been fully achieved so far, and he has not yet left, just to see if he can go to the next level. If he can destroy the Christian church, it will shake the whole of Ross!
