The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 453
Dozens of nobles, old and young, gathered in a manor in the west of Stockholm, all of them wearing swords and looking excited.
A middle-aged man walked up to a luxuriously dressed old man, bowed and said, “The Queen Mother asked me to thank the old earl for your loyalty on her behalf.”
The old count raised his head, and it was Olaf’s cheap father-in-law, the cousin of Gustav II, the Marquis of Gustav, the former Minister of the Army of the Swedish Empire, and the current mayor of Stockholm.
The old marquis was over sixty years old but in good spirits, he said lightly: “You, Per Brahe, have become Olaf’s high-ranking minister in the Privy Council and the district pastor of the Nordic Red Thunder. After seeing everyone’s contact, no Are you still here?”
Brahe nodded and said, “Yes, I am the most loyal servant of the late emperor, how could I be the lackey of the chaotic ministers and thieves?
The queen mother has asked a wizard to do divination, and Dorgon’s death is the beginning of the fall of their eastern and western heroes.
Olaf’s implementation of Leidang in Northern Europe is determined to conspire to usurp the throne. We can’t tolerate him. Now Dorgon in the Far East is dead, and Olaf is like a salmon out of water, and he won’t live long.
Now European countries are criticizing him, and Russia and France are also secretly supporting us. Together, we will be able to get rid of Olaf, let the rain dissipate, and the sun will rise! ”
The old marquis nodded his head and said, “Yes, yes, I have been thinking of the late emperor for a long time. He was too kind and treated Olaf so well, but I didn’t expect Olaf to turn against him.
Now I am fortunate to have received the secret order of the Queen Mother. I will not forget the kindness of the late emperor. Just in time to kill Olaf when he comes back, it can be considered to comply with the will of God and let him and Dorgon of the Far East be a celebrity through the ages. Hero! ”
After the two principals finished speaking, many other Swedish nobles also rushed to express their opinions.
While everyone was talking, a young girl in a cloak walked in. Seeing her, the old marquis and Brahe were all surprised.
“What did the Queen Mother say?”
The two recognized the person from the Old Palace of Uppsala, and understood that it was the Queen Mother who had arrived with another decree.
The woman took out a wax-sealed letter with the empress dowager’s ring, and Brahe took it and cut it open and read it, with a smile on her face, and said, “Princess Katarina resents Olaf for sending Karl to the Far East, and also Agreed to conspire, she has called back the German Guard in the Palatinate, and now we have more power in our hands!”
“OK!”
“Olav is doomed to hell!”
…
In the plan of Brahe and the old marquis and others, every noble family they were willing to do together was willing to send their family servants out, and the city defense army of Stockholm also obeyed the old marquis’s orders.
Coupled with the hundreds of private slaves in Brahe’s hands, the “rebel army” has a scale of more than 3,000 people, but only more than 1,000 people can really fight.
Although there are not many troops, Brahe and others are not going to fight Olaf in an upright manner. They are only going to kill Olaf when Olaf arrives in Stockholm and enters the palace to have a banquet with Christina.
Brahe is currently an important minister of the Privy Council, because Olaf’s confidants have been taken to Denmark, so he is basically in charge of the court and the central government. The key is to be able to quietly bring the reliable troops into the palace.
Soon Olaf’s ship arrived in Stockholm, and the Swedish ministers such as Brahe and the old marquis were already waiting respectfully at the dock.
Olaf walked to the side of the crowd, helped the old marquis, and said, “You are Freda’s father, Emily and Leah’s grandfather. You are welcome in the future. Come, please take the old marquis in the carriage.”
Mrs. Margaret, who was beside Olaf, also glanced at the old marquis, and her brows moved.
At this time, she already knew how many women Olaf had. Although she was unhappy, when facing the man who was the ruler of the Swedish Empire, Margaret couldn’t have a noisy mind, and she didn’t dare to show jealousy. After writing down these women and illegitimate children, and at the same time asking Song Qinghe to prescribe some medicine for his body, thinking about getting pregnant and giving birth to an heir, then everything will be fine.
A group of people walked into the Three Crowns Castle, guarding Olaf and his party like the stars holding the moon.
At the entrance of the palace, Olaf frowned and said in a low voice, “No, why didn’t your majesty come out to greet me?”
As usual, when Olaf came back from a long journey, Christina would always greet him at the pier or at the gate of the palace. At this time, there was neither Christina nor Amy or Alba Spar at the gate of the huge palace.
As soon as I patted the carriage, Foreku, who had been driving for Olaf himself, hurriedly pulled the reins and asked, “Master, what’s the matter?”
“Ask Odin, is he the commander of the palace gendarmerie to the end? Why didn’t he come out and greet him?”
Hearing Olaf’s angry question in the carriage, Etku was also shocked, he pulled out the long knife around his waist and instructed a Viking cavalry soldier in the carriage: “Go to the palace and have a look, if you don’t see Austrian Ding blows the bone whistle!”
The blowing of the bone whistle means an enemy attack. Odin, who was sent by Olaf to control the defense force of the palace, is an old man in Iceland, and it is absolutely impossible to rebel, and he has been notified in advance. Now Odin has not shown up for no reason. Christina and Amy didn’t show up either, things were self-evident, it wasn’t that Christina wanted to do something to her godfather, that’s pretty much it.
Although Olaf has been pampered for many years, he has never forgotten to exercise. He was restless in the carriage and had a premonition that someone was going to play “Xuanwumen” for him, and whispered to Margaret: “You Take off your skirt, put on your pants, wait for ten thousand
^0^ Don’t stay in the carriage when the fight starts, go out as soon as possible, Etku will send someone to take you away, remember, don’t look back when you go out, run to the pier, there are more than 1,000 in our warship Soldier, enough to protect you! ”
After Olaf finished speaking, he pulled out two bright axes from the corner of the carriage, took out two short guns to check and stuffed them into his waist, then pulled out a pair of chain mail and iron helmet and hurriedly put them on.
When everything was ready, Olaf opened the car window, and saw that the cavalry entering the palace was shot into a sieve by the arrows flying out of the palace, together with the horses.
Forehead Tutu saw the vision protruding, and hurriedly blew the bone whistle in his mouth.
“Whoosh!”
The sharp bone whistle suddenly woke everyone in front of the palace.
The hundreds of Viking Berserkers guarding Olaf’s carriage and the nearly 1,000 Swedish Iron Cavalry hanging behind knew that they were attacked and assassinated by the enemy. They took out short guns and sabres in an orderly manner, and quickly surrounded the carriage.
It was the first time that Margaret was so close to death and war. She was pale and trembling with fright, but she became quiet again when she saw Olaf wearing armor and holding a double axe in a calm manner.
Reaching out a trembling hand to touch Olaf’s golden beard, Margaret said, “Give me a musket.”
Olaf looked at the person beside his pillow in amazement, nodded and said, “Okay.” As soon as he finished speaking, he took a handful from his waist and handed it to Margaret.
Margaret was trained to go hunting with Olaf, and she was also good at spear and equestrian. She gritted her teeth and picked up the pistol, then quickly took off her skirt, revealing her long legs in silk stockings. After groping around in the carriage, she found a pair of Olaf’s trousers. , put it on, rolled up the trouser legs, and fastened the belt with a rope, this time I barely wore it.
The screams and gunshots rang out in all directions, and Olaf watched the outside through the cracks in the windows, and when he saw the enemy rushing over, he took Margaret out of the carriage.
In a few seconds, the sound of horses’ hooves approached the carriage, and the screams of killing and gunshots were suppressed. Olaf knew that even if the guards rushed, his heart calmed down a little. He remembered that the carriages of Heine and Song Qinghe should also be protected. , he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “How many enemies are there?”
Etuku panted and said: “There are hundreds in the palace, all of them are musketeers and longbowmen. I asked Pictu (one of Picku’s son) to take someone to intercept them, and the others were ambushed around the palace. The dead soldiers in the canal park, they are worried that they will miss the movement, not a single cavalry, all the musketeers, ah!”
Etuku was talking when he suddenly shouted and stopped moving. Olaf knew that he was either hit by a dark gun or a dark arrow. His heart beat like a drum, and he knew that his carriage must be the target that the enemy would take down at all costs, although Now there are iron cavalry and Viking berserkers to protect, but since the enemy dares to attack here, it is accurate, and must not be brought here!
Olaf stretched out his arms and hugged Margaret, bent over and jumped out of the carriage, and then several crossbow arrows and guns pierced through the corner of the carriage.
Margaret screamed in fright, Olaf slapped him and scolded, “Don’t scream!”
After he finished speaking, he bent down and pulled Margaret to the crowd of Viking Berserkers who were approaching him.
When he stepped over the carriage, he was lying down at the forehead gallery~www.mtlnovel.com~ His eyes were wide and round, blood was overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and his body was even twitching, but Olaf turned a blind eye, and his footsteps continued. Don’t dare to stop.
After being surrounded and protected by a group of people, Olaf dared to look around. He saw that there were rebels in all directions, and he and more than a thousand guards were like a boat in the sea.
Brahe, his old father-in-law and his Swedish ministers were long gone.
A team of iron cavalry was blocked at the entrance of the palace, and they also fell into the rebel army at the entrance of the palace. People were killed and fell off their horses. It seemed that they would be killed in an instant.
The other positions were surrounded by musketeers and spearmen. They rushed forward and blocked the iron cavalry, so that the famous Swedish iron cavalry could not charge, and could only fall into the crowd and be killed by random guns.
Olaf jumped out of the car and knew the most critical moment.
After hurriedly observing, Olaf roughly estimated that there should be more than 2,000, or even 3,000 troops ambushing him. Thinking that his guards were only more than 1,000, he couldn’t help but cast a shadow on his heart.
