Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 56 The Road to the Strong

After the discussion and exchange ended, the Blackfish visiting group was taken to the longhouse for rest in the central residence, and the people staying at Barnard Farm also started making noises.

"These black fish people are simply too rampant!"

"It's just because Kaison is injured and Rayleigh is not here, but the grimace man does have some strength."

"It would be great if the Hawkeye boy could come back in time. Then we'll see if that Behemoth can still have such an arrogant face."

They had never seen the battle on Prisoner's Island, but they had witnessed the warrior assessment half a year ago, and the shock brought by Rayleigh was still indelible and unforgettable.

"Kaisen, are you sure you can defeat that grimace man?" a soldier asked.

"Not sure." Kaisen told the truth.

The battle between Ghostface Warrior and Jekham revealed a body that was even more powerful than his own.

"You shouldn't accept the fight even if you haven't fully recovered from your injuries." Commander Dawn said from a rational perspective.

"The momentum is waxing and waning, how can we refuse to fight." Bassomo's opinion was different.

Kaison paused, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes: "During the training in the past, Rayleigh said something: The enemy will not wait for him to recover before attacking. The Ghostface Warrior may be better than me in terms of apparent strength, but There is no conclusion until the battle is over.”

"In the battle on Prisoner's Island, I thought I was certain to die, but Rayleigh did not give up. In the end, he and Jecam arrived in time to block One-Eye and completed his own breakthrough, which also caused Blackfish's raid to be mediocre. The end. If you don’t dare to challenge because of a minor injury, you have such a weak mind, how can you talk about pursuing the path of the strong."

The duel between Rayleigh and Gerrard half a year ago shocked him at his partner's hidden strength and talent.But the battle on Prisoner's Island was what really shocked him beyond measure——

Facing an invincible strong man, that man overturned the entire battle with a decisive momentum.

Having the ability to change desperate situations is the real strong man.

"That's a good realization. You've grown up." The old man smiled, and a look of relief flashed across his age-stained face.

As expected of his husband!

Skadi's eyes flashed brightly, and she felt that both her husband and Rayleigh had to give in, at most only a little bit.But it’s true that that guy had disappeared without a trace before he even had time to visit his life-saving husband. He had been gone for more than two months without any news...

It’s been such a long time since we last saw each other, I really miss Rayleigh!
"As expected of Kaisen!"

The surrounding fogcrow warriors also showed admiration, but they still hoped that Rayleigh would appear in time. After all, the opponent was not weak. Kaison may not be sure of victory, but Rayleigh...

Sure can!
……

In the tavern of the central residence under the moonlight, Beamon and several Blackfish warriors were sitting there, experiencing the tavern life of the Mist Crow people, and taking advantage of the situation to inquire about the news.

Those guys who are drunk will reveal everything.The truth of the news spread from outside cannot be compared with what these fog crows say.

The Rayleigh rumored across the Fern Strait is just mediocre, and his strength is not as good as that of Kaison and Jekham.The actual situation is quite different. Olaf and One-Eyed Yum are not all telling lies.

Even though the two may exaggerate, Hawkeye Rayleigh may not have the qualifications to be a general, but he must have the qualifications to be a top-notch person.

In the tavern, the surrounding Mist Crow people did not take them seriously. There was even an old man wandering over carrying a wine bottle and sarcastically said:
"You young warriors of Black Fish, don't think you can defeat Jecam, because you are still far away from Rayleigh. I advise you to pack your bags quickly and return to Black Fish to avoid getting yourself killed. disgrace."

The other Mist Crow people in the tavern looked at the Black Fish visiting group and spoke one after another:
"That's right, if Rayleigh is here, it won't be your turn today, so hurry up and go home, close the doors and windows and hide."

"Just because of Sam's bad name, it's impossible for him to be Rayleigh's opponent."

"Well said, those people from Heiyu, please go home quickly. Staying here will only make us look embarrassed and make us laugh out loud."

There was a burst of laughter all around.

"Don't just talk about it. Hawkeye Rayleigh is so powerful. Let him come out to fight. Our Sam is waiting. Does he dare?" A Blackfish warrior couldn't help but retort.

"If he dares to do anything, I'm afraid he would have been hiding like a turtle."

"How can such a shrinking turtle compare to Sam? Your little Rayleigh is nothing."

After a few words of sarcasm, the Blackfish warriors suddenly felt relieved when they saw that these Mist Crow people were silent for a while.

"Drink, let's drink, don't be like these short-sighted black fish people."

Everyone in Mist Crow felt a little uneasy in their hearts, but after all, Hawkeye Boy was not here, and they didn't know if they could get back in time, so they felt somewhat lacking in confidence.

……

In a cave full of strange shadows, the old man and the prophet are having a conversation. "Old man, this doesn't look like you in your prime." When Prophet Bai heard that the old man was going to recall Leili, his heart felt like a big stone was stuck in his heart, and he was indescribably sad.

In the past, the leader was so high-spirited when he first met him, and he was also the person he admired the most when he was young. But now this man has reached his twilight years.

He is getting old after all!
Facing the pair of vertical pupils with complex expressions flashing in front of him, the old man sighed slightly: "Well, as people get older, their hearts tend to soften."

It was enough for him to know that Kaysen had the heart to dare to face the enemy, but he couldn't let the future head of the Barnard family be seriously injured again just for the sake of such a military competition.After all, a real sword showdown was too dangerous for Kaisen, who was still faintly weak in strength.

We still have to let Rayleigh come back, and take a look at how far that young man has grown, and...

Because of the indecision in the past, Dawn and Bartholomew are now in a situation where each takes the lead, and neither one accepts the other's submission.The next generation must not be like this again, with Rayleigh and Kaisen forming a situation where each takes the lead.

The decision must be made as early as possible.

Whether in terms of strength, ruthlessness or even wisdom, Rayleigh is more suitable than Kaysen to become the future leader of the Mistcrows.Letting him come back to fight can not only protect Kaisen from serious injury, but also increase his reputation among the tribesmen. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds.

Of course, the young Seer Bai could not see this aspect of his own thoughts, and only thought it was to protect Kaisen.

"I understand."

Prophet Bai watched the old man walk out of the cave quietly. After a long silence, he wrote a piece of parchment and walked out of the cave.

He stretched out his hand to say hello, and suddenly a white crow flew down from the spruce tree next to the cave.The white prophet tied the parchment around the crow's feet, pointed in a direction and said a few words to the bird.

"Gah...gah..." the white crow cried out in dissatisfaction.

"Go quickly." A flash of encouragement flashed across his vertical pupils.

"Quack..." White Crow stamped his feet, indicating that he didn't want to go.

“I’ll treat your family to nutritious chicken when I come back.”

A hint of helplessness flashed across his vertical pupils, and he really didn't understand why the girl from the Bastian family made the crows of the tribe change their minds so much after hearing about it.

The crow watching him reluctantly flew towards the Kirigakure Forest, feeling a little emotional in his heart:
In that family, not only the brother, but also the sister is a monster among monsters.

……

Two days later, at night, we hosted guests in the longhouse.

"How's the inquiring going?" Jaborn asked the spherical figure who walked in.

"I'm afraid he won't be weaker than Sam." Beamon collected a lot of information about Rayleigh in the tavern these two days, "When he was young, it was said that in order to train his mind, that guy He deliberately presented himself as a loser. He was at the bottom of the training field for ten years and received strange looks for so many years."

"It seems that he is indeed different from ordinary people, and he hides it very deeply." Jabourne's eyes were filled with admiration, and then a trace of doubt flashed across his face, "Then how was he exposed?"

"For his sister, he once took action at the training ground." Beamon continued. "The opponent was a very talented raider who died in his hands in the duel that was rumored."

"For my sister, it's good to have a weakness." The light in Jaborn's eyes flickered. People with weaknesses are easy to be trapped. If there is a conflict with the Mist Crow tribe in the future, it will not be difficult to solve this guy.

But Beamon shook his head: "I'm afraid this is not a weakness."

"Huh?" A trace of doubt flashed across his face that was as sharp as a knife.

"His sister also has a terrifying talent. Half a year ago, when she was less than 12 years old, she passed the fogcrow's warrior assessment and became a trainee raider." There was a hint of jealousy in Beamon's small eyes. Although he He has an invincible father, but he has been ill since birth and cannot build strong muscles.

But in a small family, geniuses appear one after another. How unfair the gods are.

Jia Boer and the Blackfish warriors were vaguely surprised. The warrior assessments of the three tribes in this section of the strait were all of similar difficulty. It was extremely rare for boys to pass the warrior assessment under the age of 12, not to mention girls.

"Any more?"

"There are also some familiar ones. For example, that guy's eyes are as sharp as an eagle's, with rare black pupils. He also likes to wear a hat like Sam... That's pretty much it."

Beamon suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, tomorrow is the last day. If others haven't returned to the Mist Crow Territory yet, should we stay for a while longer."

Jaborn shook his head: "No, the North is so big, we will encounter it sooner or later."

"Well, it would be nice to take care of that guy Kaisen. I'm really looking forward to it." Beamon looked back at the leader's farm two days ago. The paralyzed man looked at him like he was looking at a dead person, and he felt a tingling feeling in his heart again. .

With a father who is a great general of God, naturally no one dares to be cruel to him, but he also has a lot of helplessness, and being suppressed in terms of strength is an extremely frustrating thing.
