Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 49 Single-handedly comeback and beheading raid

On Prisoner's Island, Olaf is looking around and analyzing the battle traces in his sight:

"These are Bart's footprints. The two had a brief confrontation here. Judging from the distribution of the footprints, it seems that Bart has been retreating... These two skid marks should have resisted a violent attack. The Mist Crow boy is obviously not weak, by the way, who is Bart chasing?"

"Jackam, the biggest one." Youm replied.

"It fits his fighting style." Olaf paused for a while, then continued, "After he tried to attack, he found that he could not kill Bart. Looking at these reversed footprints, he obviously ran away directly."

"Could it be Bartholomew who killed Bart?" Youm noticed that the huge footprints of the Mist Crow Commander also appeared nearby.

"It's also possible. We have to find the body first."

Olaf led everyone to continue walking along the footprints, and soon discovered that at the end of the footprints on one side, there was armor scattered behind the tree: "It belongs to the Mist Crow boy. He placed the leather armor together with the soft armor on the tree." Later, I deceived Bart and bought some time to escape. It is also possible that I can run faster after taking off the armor."

"This kid looks honest, but he is actually a cunning guy on the inside. He is indeed capable of it." Youmu recalled the scene when he was fighting with himself, and was deceived by the kid's eyes and expressions.

"What a coward!"

The surrounding Blackfish warriors all showed disdain. They abandoned their armor in order to escape. This can be called a warrior's shame. The Hall of Valor will not accept such cowards.

The group of people walked along the footprints again until the fog crow led the huge footprints to the Deever camp.

"Bassomo has already left here. In the other two footprints, Bart is still chasing the Misty Crow kid. Therefore, there is a high probability that Basomo arrived later and changed direction directly to the camp through the location of the raven. "

"It seems that Bart and Commander Mist Crow have never crossed paths." Everyone around them was filled with doubts.

Bart's footprints are still being chased, and there is no intersection with the Commander of the Mist Crow, so it stands to reason that there will be no accident. What he is chasing is just a new raider who has just participated in the baptism, and the strength gap between the two sides is huge.

But according to what the one-eyed captain had said before, Bart's weapons and armor were all on that Jackham. If there was no accident, how could he lose the weapons and armor that the soldier regarded as his life.

With huge doubts, everyone continued to walk along Bart's footprints. They didn't know how long they walked, but they gradually smelled the smell of blood that passed into their noses.

Following the smell of blood, he quickened his pace, and then he saw the motionless figure lying on the ground.Looking at the silhouette from a distance, the body shape is very similar to Bart's.

However, because his face was facing the ground and he could not see clearly, he was not sure for a while.Until he came closer, Youmu turned his head and realized that the dead man was indeed Bart, the elite raider warrior of the tribe.

"The fatal wound came from a sword that pierced the throat from the back of the neck." Yom slid down the warrior's eyelids smoothly, "With a wound of this size, it was the sword in Hawkeye Rayleigh's hand."

"Have you been attacked?"

The soldiers all showed indignant looks and died from the sneak attack from the rear. That Hawkeye Rayleigh was also a despicable guy and would not be accepted by the Hall of Valor.

But the next sound that reached my ears...

"No." Olaf looked at the messy footprints and bloodstains around him and shook his head. "Before this fatal injury, both sides must have gone through a fierce battle. Look at Bart's left palm and wrist."

Youm raised Bart's left hand, and everyone saw the blood vessels that were cut through his wrist.

He analyzed: "Judging from the shape and direction of the wound, a precise sword cut into the gap between the wrist guard and the joint from the direction of the palm, breaking the blood vessels."

Looking at the palm that has been cut into half and the flesh is completely turned out, it should be roughly like this.

"The traces all around indicate that this battle did not end in an instant. There was a big battle here."

Olaf continued, "The most incredible thing is that except for the three of them, there are no other people's footprints."

"In other words, the two Mist Crow boys had no other helpers and could kill Bart on their own." Youm frowned.

"Bart is not weak, how could he be defeated by two little guys?"

"And where is Glenn? If Glenn wasn't chasing one of them, where was he?"

Doubts flashed across the eyes of the surrounding soldiers. If anything, it might have been an accident, but right now Bart was dead, and Glenn couldn't follow another young man from Mist Crow... Both of these things were almost unrealistic. situation occurred at the same time, this could never be an accident. There must be some special situation that they could not imagine.

"Could it be that Jackham, who arrived first, joined forces with Reilly, and the two of them used tacit cooperation to kill Glenn first, and then killed Bart, who was pursuing him?" Some soldiers speculated.

"Impossible. Look at the footprints. Jecam's footprints did not go deeper, but Reilly's footprints continued deeper."

After Olaf finished speaking, he ordered a few soldiers to guard the body here, and then led the rest of the people to follow Rayleigh's footsteps to find traces of Glenn.

After leaving this battlefield, it turned out that there were no traces of Jecam ahead, only a single footprint of Rayleigh.

As an elite raider warrior, Glenn was killed by a 15-year-old warrior alone... This is really too bizarre, and it is not necessarily a guess that there may be extra helpers there.

It didn't take long for them to find Glenn's footprints from another direction. That direction also had Rayleigh's footprints. From the pointing, it can be inferred that Rayleigh was being chased by Glenn at the time, and finally ran into The cave not far away.

And the footprints they followed were obviously when Rayleigh came out of the cave again. The trail of bloodstains must have been after the battle.

Olaf keenly noticed an arrow on the chase section. He walked over and picked it up to take a look. The arrow was stained with blood and hung with fragments of Mist Crow's leather armor. He confirmed: "During the chase, Glenn shot He was hit by an arrow from Hawkeye Boy, and to avoid the arrow, he fled into a cave.”

Looking at the dark cave with the cobwebs removed, several soldiers lit torches, feeling extremely surprised in their hearts:
It rained last night, so if there were any outsiders' footprints, they would be very obvious. However, the only footprints leading to the cave were Glenn and Rayleigh, and only Rayleigh came out.

It’s self-evident what it means!

In the one-on-one duel between the two in the cave, Glenn failed to beat each other, which is incomprehensible.Glenn has been a hunter since he was a child and has an extremely cautious personality. Logically speaking, sneak attacks will not have much effect on him.

If it wasn't a sneak attack, what happened to lead to Glenn's defeat?
With a lot of doubts and confusion, everyone followed Olaf into the cave.As soon as he walked in, the strong smell of blood hit his face, and mottled blood stains followed the footprints and extended from the entrance to the inside.

The torch then illuminated a figure lying in a pool of blood, which was obviously Glenn.

Olaf's huge body almost crowded the walls on both sides of the cave. He walked to the other end and squatted down to check: "The fatal injury came from the neck, caused by Glenn's own ax... There were serious bruises on the back of his right hand. , still stained with the soil of a large area of ​​the cave wall, the two had a fierce battle over the axe."

Olaf stood up and shined the torch on the surrounding cave wall. He could see the obvious depression mark from the impact of the head, which was also stained with hair and large amounts of blood. He analyzed:

"The size of the two dents on the head is not that of Glenn, which means that he once picked up Rayleigh and smashed it against the cave wall. The force of the impact was not weak, and Glenn's arm strength has always been extremely outstanding."

Youmu frowned and continued: "With such a degree of impact, that kid should have fainted long ago."

"It can only be said that that young man cannot be judged by common sense, and he cannot be as ordinary as what I heard about this morning." The light in Olaf's eyes dimmed, "The rumors about his general qualifications may not be false. of."

Following these words, the cave fell silent for a moment.

For those who have never been exposed to the qualifications of a general, they may not have much specific experience.But as a Blackfish man, after witnessing the growth process of his leader, he will have a deep understanding of what a terrifying inhuman monster a general is.

Youmu let out a deep breath: "I originally thought that Hawkeye Rayleigh was just a target introduced by the Mist Crow tribe to cover up the glory of Kaysen and Jekam. Now think about it in detail, This kid is indeed terrifying. After two brutal battles in a row, when facing me, he can still activate a rage that should not belong to this warrior level."

There are mottled blood, sticky flesh and blood scattered everywhere on the cave walls and the ground on both sides, as well as deep sword marks and strong impact dents... The place you look at can be said to be full of devastation. You can imagine that something happened here What a brutal life and death fight.

Berserk is a berserker-level ability, and being able to use it at this age is enough to show how talented he is.

The surrounding Blackfish warriors finally understood that the unexpected factor that caused Glenn and Bart's death was Rayleigh's own strength.

The torch that fell to the ground, and the dent that Glenn was able to smash into the cave wall. It was obvious that even if Glenn was attacked by a sneak attack when he entered the cave, he would not have suffered much damage. In the end, the life and death of both parties depended on it. combat level.

As a result, Glenn, an elite warrior, died! !
He was just a 15-year-old raider. Not only did he kill Glenn alone, but he also teamed up with Jackham to kill Bart, and continued to support the one-eyed captain until Bartholomew arrived and rescued Kaysen. ——

He almost single-handedly completed the comeback, sabotaging the tribe's raid and failing to behead the main target.

Without this guy, or any well-known genius of the same age, it would be impossible to complete such an incredible comeback.At least Kayson will die in the hands of One-Eye, and Jecam will also die in the hands of Bart...
