Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 28 The final charge, Rayleigh’s true face
"It's a prediction."

The expressions of the great warriors on the command stage gradually changed from doubt to appreciation.

"There can be no mistake. He made two predictions."

The old man explained, "First, he predicted that Gerald would be able to hit the axe. Second, he also predicted that the location where Gerald would aim was either the head or the torso, not the lower body."

After hearing the leader's explanation, a slightly dull-minded person like Sophia also understood.

If she were to be put in Gerald's position, her body would be almost exhausted and she would only have one chance to throw an axe. Naturally, she would not be able to target the opponent's lower body and throw it.Even if it hits the foot, it won't help. The opponent still has a good fighting ability.

This prediction is fine.

As for predicting whether Gerrard can hit this axe, since the two have been fighting until now, Reilly must be very aware of the toughness of his opponent and will not be soft-hearted at critical moments.

There is nothing wrong with this prediction.

But in a dangerous battle situation, it is not easy to have such judgment.

At least Sophia didn't think she could do it. With such a short distance between the two of them, facing a rapidly approaching axe, if it were herself, turning around and cutting down the axe would be the best choice.If there was no weapon in his hand, he would most likely have to pay the price of a serious arm injury, and it would be impossible for him to remain unscathed like 'Senior Rayleigh'.

It is too difficult to avoid such a close throw by dodging.

In addition, before the ax handle even left his hand, Rayleigh had already started to make dodge movements. This was not difficult to understand for a captain like Sophia.The three war commanders beside him, and even a powerful berserker like Staff, could rely on their keen hearing to detect that their opponents were waving their arms.

It stands to reason that Rayleigh is not yet at this level of strength, but with his level of talent, it is not impossible to have sharper hearing.

"It's a pity Gerald."

The giant man also sighed with emotion. Since the monster could dodge an ax from behind at such a close range, it also meant that the duel was over.

What Gerald is doing now, although full of shock, is nothing more than a tragic death.

"What a pity for such a brave tribal warrior!"

Everyone watched as Gerald pulled the long sword completely out of his body, ignoring the blood flowing out of him, and launched a final charge towards the monster in front of him.

It's not that he is too weak, but that Rayleigh is too strong.

……

"Hall of Valor, here I come."

Gerald roared angrily, and the last remaining strength of his body was exerted on the hands holding the sword and the feet stepping on the ground, and he turned towards the man who was leaning over to pick up the spear from the fallen weapon rack. The figure suddenly pounced forward.

The moment he pulled out the sword, blood spurted out from the wound. He was certain to die, but he still wanted to take the monster in front of him with him.

"Rayleigh, let's die together!"

"You can't do it."

Rayleigh held the spear with five fingers, and his crooked body suddenly bowed back. The spear came back, and an extremely sharp carbine accurately pierced the opponent's throat.

puff-

Gerald's head hung down, and the long sword, which was still a short distance away from the enemy in front of him, fell from his hand at the same time.

Rayleigh instantly withdrew his spear and watched as the dying warrior opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His figure suddenly fell to the ground, and the luster in his eyes extinguished at the same time.

Why is he the one who died?

"I'm better than you, that's all."

Rayleigh replied to the fallen body, then stood the spear on the ground, leaned over and picked up his sword.

Although I had a strong urge to stab the sword with the feeling of piercing my heart, I finally did not do so. It was not because I was afraid of the peripheral eyes, but...

As an enemy, he will not show any mercy. As a soldier, Gerrard's ferocity and courage also deserve his respect.

Shouldn't be treated like this.

Turning off the eagle eye, he briefly reviewed the situation in his mind. This duel also exposed his own inexperience.

There is no problem in rushing towards the weapon rack. The impact of moving sideways is not small. Turning back to fight requires reversing the inertia. The extra time will double the risk.

Besides, the others didn't know it clearly, but he himself knew very well that after the eagle eye was turned on, the field of vision only left a small blind spot.This is not a problem, as long as you look slightly sideways, you can clearly see the situation behind you.

Although his back was left open, he had actually been observing Gerrard's throwing movements. Coupled with Hawkeye's dynamic capture ability, he had sufficient reaction time.

Gerrard's throwing could only cause serious injury to his upper body or even threaten his life.Therefore, when he saw that he was about to throw it, he immediately took the dodge action of falling sideways.

As for the feet, with the talent of the sword bones, even if they are thrown, they will not be scrapped, and it will not cause any harm at all.

It will still be Gerrard who dies then.

As for whether the thrown ax would hit his body that was lying sideways, he had never considered it. Instead of worrying about this illusory probability, he would be more worried about whether he would be suddenly struck to death by lightning when he walked out the door.

This kind of consideration is obviously unnecessary. If you think too much and too carefully, you will lose the courage to move forward.What's problematic is the earlier scene where the weapon is lost:
For example, those captain-level raiders who have killed countless people would have discovered immediately that the feeling was not piercing the heart. In that case, they would not have pierced the entire sword, but would have retracted it instantly.This would prevent the long sword from getting stuck and fall into such a passive situation.

Working behind closed doors is obviously not enough to become a sword master——

It's time to become an official raider, join the fleet, go out and kill more people, and enrich your combat experience.

……

"Won!"

Looking at Gerald lying in a pool of blood and the monster standing, even Jecam breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching this life-and-death duel, which had many twists and turns, made peers like them feel more exhausted than fighting it in person.

"I didn't feel that in the training ground before, but now I realize that Rayleigh is really scary. Outside the training ground, this guy is going to kill people."

"It really is!"

Everyone thought about it, whether it was the pagan during the blood sacrifice, the second-rate Hobo who came to cause trouble, or the current Gerald.Every time he takes a shot outside of the training ground, someone is bound to die in Reilly's hands.

Fight with your comrades with residual health, and start killing with full health.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. After so many years, they discovered the true face of this man.

Kaisen's eyes were ignited with burning faith. As a strong man, everyone has the dream of chasing a general.It may have been just a fantasy before, but it is different now. If there is a step to chase and compare, it is no longer a dream.

At least you have a direction, just follow the footsteps of this monster in the field.

……

The people on the periphery, seeing the duel involving life and death, did not shout as excitedly as before.

Gerald, who died in battle, may have had a bad temper, but his bravery and fearlessness made him worthy of the name of a warrior.

The scene of resolutely pulling out the sword from the body, launching the final charge towards Rayleigh with the determination to die, is worthy of the respect of all warriors.

However, Rayleigh is too powerful!
The last thrust of the spear in reverse direction also showed the monster's powerful offensive ability, not to mention that at the beginning, it completely crushed Gerrard with a sword and was unable to fight back.

The most shocking thing is the defense for which he is famous. He parried Gerrard's life-threatening attack with a scabbard.As the scabbard shattered, he miraculously dodged the deadly ax coming towards his back, showing off his blocking and evasion vividly.

For geniuses of the same level, there may be some emphasis.But for the rest of his peers, it is obvious that the omnipotent cannot be omnipotent without any weaknesses.

Even the extremely talented former martial arts fanatic of the Barnard family was nothing more than this when he was young.

'This widow's life is really good! '

The women who had gossiped about the little widow in the street before could not help but feel jealous in their hearts.

I originally expected that the mute girl would not be as powerful as Genat said, but before the mute girl appeared, Rayleigh, who was at the bottom of the training field, blinded everyone's eyes.

Are you having a hard time?
I'm afraid that within a few years, the little widow's house will be filled with treasures.

The previous ridicule now seemed like a slap on their faces.

In addition to jealousy, there is also a bit of envy.Needless to say, there is no need to say much about Rayleigh's strength. The key is that his appearance is so extraordinary. I can only lament that the gods are too partial to the fate of the widow.

But I have to admire the little widow's vision. If it were them, facing so many suitors with good conditions, how could they have the energy to focus on that waste.It would be nice to be able to give him a bite to eat, so naturally it would be impossible to notice his extraordinary talent.

When he reaches adulthood, he will probably kick this waste out of the house impatiently. How can he tolerate this bastard who doesn't work all day long but still eats and drinks at home.But the little widow is different, everyone sees it, and she is really good to her two family members.

It has not been easy for the young widow these past few years. A year ago, she was working early and late at night making bamboo hats to support the family.Although the things I bought in the market were all big fish and meat, at first I paid for them honestly. Now, when I open my mouth, I bargain with them in a very familiar way.

She had never been a fan of fireworks when she first married into the tribe, but now she has become tainted with the mundane atmosphere of the market and needs to worry about money, rice, oil and salt.

It’s really not easy!

……

"What a surprise."

Jinat in the corner sighed, and suddenly felt that his vision was just average.He noticed that Rayleigh was not simple, but he didn't expect that it would be so extraordinary.

Three years ago, when he was on that burning farm, he thought that the little widow had missed an extremely good man.At this time, this idea obviously needs to be reconsidered. At least in terms of hard talent, Rayleigh is stronger than that one, and his future ceiling will definitely be higher.

The only suspense is that I don't know if I can grow up.

I originally thought that with Thor's soul returning to the Hall of Valor, the Bastion family would decline, but I didn't expect that this would be the beginning of its rise.

A peerless villain with unfathomable abilities and unfathomable talents is waiting on the road in front of him. An unprecedented villain and a terrifying girl appear from the shadows, blocking the road behind him...

hiss! ! !
It's creepy to think about!
Genat gasped, feeling that this family was too scary and should not be an enemy.
