Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 66 Hell on Earth
"Failed, completely defeated, those barbarians are coming in..." Some soldiers shouted and rushed into the square from outside.

The knight who was recruiting soldiers picked up the fleeer by his clothes and said angrily: "What are you talking about? We have more than [-] soldiers, how can we be defeated?"

stomping on...

More and more frightened deserters ran in outside, and the sounds of the heretics shouting for death became increasingly clearer.

"Those pagans are terrible monsters, we can't defeat them at all..."

"They died in the battle, and Knight Commander Philip also died in the battle. They all died in the battle..."

Hearing these words, the people in the whole square instantly panicked, and the militiamen with weapons couldn't help but lose their courage, fearing that they would be arranged to die by the knight.

Before everyone could fully accept the news of defeat, a blood-colored broad ax suddenly flashed through the air, accompanied by a shrill scream, and was directly embedded in the head of a fleeing soldier.

In just a few breaths, a huge figure that was covered in blood and looked like a hell ghost came into everyone's eyes, followed by more and more barbarians screaming strangely.

The bloody man picked up the broad-faced ax and raised it: "I will turn this place into hell to avenge our brothers who died in the battle."

Roar--

Amidst loud shouts and panicked screams, the entire square was in complete chaos. People in the monastery ran in all directions like a herd of birds and beasts. A few who ran slowly were cut down to the ground. Otherwise, they would be followed by follow-up shots. He was just lying on the ground, wailing in pain, being trampled on by others.

"Follow the soldiers to the south gate...don't bring anything with you..."

"Lord, what a disaster this is...well..."

"Leave no chickens or dogs alive, kill them all!"

The monastery instantly turned into a hell on earth. Countless men died amid wailing sounds, while women were picked up or dragged into corners...

After Leiley and others had cleared away the remaining soldiers at the main entrance, they all surged up. Their eagle eyes glanced at a sub-screen, and they saw a devastated scene——

This is a cruel real war!

No matter what the order or prohibition is, Qiu will not commit any crime... Such a scene is just an imaginary utopia and did not exist in the Middle Ages.

The melodies of war in the Middle Ages have always been about brutal plunder and even venting the twisted side of human nature, whether it is for the Vikings or the Western European soldiers who are being killed in front of them.

If the positions of the two parties were exchanged, there would be no difference, it would still be such a hellish scene.

Even the Crusades, which sounded "glorious and upright" in later generations, were actually a plundering journey passing through the border like locusts.

The structure of soldiers in the Middle Ages determined that they could not be honest. More than [-]% of the soldiers who participated in the war were not professional soldiers supported by the kingdom. The kingdom could not afford to support many professional soldiers, but were brought by the nobles below. .

There is no salary for the participants. Even armor and swords are purchased by themselves. Maintaining the equipment also requires a large amount of money.

If you can't plunder, you still have to pay for equipment and money. In this situation where there is no benefit, who will come to help you fight!

No matter how much "Guangweizheng" is promoted, it is just a slogan. In the end, it still depends on the actual benefits. Of course, there must be a very small number of knights who really fight for faith and glory, but that is just a drop in the ocean.

For most of the participants in the war, the purpose is to plunder and plunder wealth. Not all of them are wealthy knights who have no worries about food and drink.

Even if it is a small noble, if he does not allow his combatants to plunder and dares to make such a decision, then this noble will probably be close to death. Sooner or later, he will be stabbed to death by his subordinates.

It was impossible for Rayleigh to stop the scene before him, nor could he stop it.

A compassionate person is not suitable to be a soldier, let alone a general.

Since I have chosen the path of a warrior, I naturally have no unnecessary bodhisattva heart, and my eagle eyes look very plain.

However, he has no idea of ​​killing innocent civilians indiscriminately. Killing innocent people indiscriminately can easily cause personality distortion, and it is not fun.When he encounters a wailing body, he will also add a sword to give them a happy ending.

"Changmao and his people have gone crazy. Bassomo, let's go after those who fled from the south gate to prevent the monastery's money from being taken away."

"Ah."

Bartholomew and Bjorn led some warriors to quickly kill towards the south gate, leaving a small group of warriors to search for the wealth in the monastery, and some warriors were obsessed with the current scene.

Rayleigh's team of four followed Bassomo all the way to the south gate, and chased him for 2000 meters until there was no more hostile figure in sight.

"Clean up the battlefield, rest when it's time, hit after hit when it's time, don't let go of the money they have."

Bartholomew said something, and the soldiers dispersed. The war was completely over, and the string in everyone's hearts was loosened.

Cleaning the battlefield, picking up money, and leaving some good loot privately. These are the implicit rules of the raiding team, and no one will say anything.When you go out, you have to get some special trophies, and it's impossible to hand them all over for distribution.

Of course, you can't cross the line.

If you pick up weapons and armor that suit you, you don't have to hand them over. Money still needs to be handed over for distribution. It's okay to leave a few special coins.

"Be sure to remember to hit the target first, and then search for things." Sam, the veteran soldier, told the newcomers like Rayleigh. These are obviously words of experience.

The several downed carriages were searched by their own Berserkers and Human-Bear Leader warriors, and they would be distributed evenly, while Rayleigh and others were searching for the scattered bodies on the ground.

Brush - Jekam stabbed the throat of the body on the ground with his sword, and then began to search for supplies. He quickly walked to the next body and touched up first.

brush--

Blood spattered.

Robert, who was lying not far away, opened his eyes through a small crack and saw the cruel scene in front of him. His face smeared with blood turned pale with fear.

Another stream of blood spattered out, and a young alien warrior as strong as a bear walked towards him.

tread... tread...

Robert was in great confusion. He was surrounded by pagan warriors and there was no way to escape.In the panic, the obscure and incomprehensible voices of the pagans came to my ears.

"There is actually someone who can roll his eyes." Jackham raised his sword.

"Wait, don't kill me yet. I have knowledge and will be very useful to you..." Seeing the other party raising his sword, Robert was so frightened that he stood up quickly and stepped back.

"What's going on?" Jakam didn't understand what the man was talking about, so he slashed down with his sword, but was barely blocked by the opponent's hastily raised shield at the critical moment.

bang——

Robert held up his shield and fell to the ground with the huge force of the sword. Without any time to think, he immediately rolled and crawled towards the back.

Before he took three steps, the sword suddenly penetrated his back and penetrated his heart.

Robert's eyes trembled, staring in disbelief at the sword passing through him and the blood dripping along the edge of the sword. He still had many dreams that he wanted to fulfill.

A lot of wealth, rich farms, good-looking nuns, higher monastic positions, future promotion to bishops, appreciation from kings and nobles, exchanges of toasts at banquets...

Your life has just begun!

stab-

The big sword brought out a large amount of blood and drew it back, and his thoughts stopped abruptly.

Robert's body suddenly fell to the ground, blood stained the ground red, and his wide-open pupils lost all luster.

"Rayleigh, Kayson, I chopped down the guy who was rolling his eyes just now, haha..." Jackam grinned.

"Uh……"

Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, and naturally noticed this scene. Often in stories, such a clever guy should be able to survive at this time.

As a result, he lived in his eyes for less than three seconds and was killed directly by Jekham. This seemed to be somewhat different from what he had just imagined.

"This guy is a poor guy and doesn't have much property." Jecam muttered dissatisfiedly.

After cleaning the battlefield for more than ten minutes, everyone began to return to the monastery, but the scattered bodies were not cleaned up.

This place is different from the Prisoner Island in the north. In this land of pagans, they have not lived for a long time. As plunderers, they are not so kind to do unnecessary things. Now these corpses are naturally left to the pagans. The cultists went to clean up.

……

Returning to the monastery, the shouting of death has completely ended.

"Commander, we are going to make a fortune this time."

"Count Bjorn, big harvest, super big harvest, the treasure room is not [-] silver coins at all..."

Several soldiers who had been waiting for him quickly came forward and led the confused people to the church treasure room.

Walking into the treasure room, they saw that the Earl of Shaggy Hair was already there. When everyone noticed the boxes being lifted up from the cellar and the large treasure box that was opened, there was a sudden gasp in the room. sound.

One of the large treasure chests was dumped on the ground, revealing a pile of silver light that stung people's eyes.

Bartholomew stepped forward and grabbed a treasure box, his eyes showing shock: "Weighing nearly two hundred marks, this treasure box contains at least tens of thousands of silver coins."

Currently, there are ten large treasure boxes placed here, as well as other treasure boxes containing various utensils and iron coins——

This time it is really completely developed!
"Yes, a treasure chest of [-] silver coins, including other things, and then looting the entire monastery and digging up its cemetery. Ivington Abbey has never been breached before, and the contents in its cemetery must be valuable. This time The harvest..."

Thinking of this, Earl Longhair was breathing heavily, "Perhaps it will reach an unprecedented 12 silver coins. Each of our families can get a fortune of about [-], which is comparable to the past ten robberies. It is not in vain to sacrifice so much of my life." warrior."

Following the words of the Long-haired Earl, the eyes of everyone present became intense.

"Let's go, dig the cemetery first, and after plundering all the money, we have to leave as soon as possible. With such an amazing treasure, it is impossible for this kingdom to remain indifferent." Bjorn said.

"Ah."

Bassomo and Pandev nodded, leaving some people to guard the treasure room, and then led the rest to the cemetery.
