Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 68 Arrival: Dawn

call out--

A raven that flew into the sky from a tree was shot through the neck by an arrow and fell from mid-air.The shouts of death in the monastery also covered up the sound of arrows.

The armored warrior withdrew the spear from the neck of the Viking guarding the warship, and then looked respectfully at the man who shot the raven with an arrow: "Commander, the shouts of killing in the monastery are weakening. , they may be almost finished, should we launch an attack immediately?"

"hold on."

The man with a pair of deep eagle eyes and wearing pitch-black armor put away his bow and arrows, and continued in a calm voice, "Let their blood cool down for a while."

The Vikings inside had just experienced a battle and were at the peak of their fighting spirit. It was not wise to attack at this time. The most appropriate time would be to wait until the blood of these invaders cooled down.

Once the mind is completely relaxed, it is not that easy to regain full combat status in a short period of time, at least most ordinary warriors cannot.

Not to mention that these invaders had already experienced a huge battle during the day, and they must have been busy digging and dividing treasures at night. After only a short rest, they started such an internal war again. One can imagine the state of these invaders.

At present, 50 elite troops are stationed at the east gate and west gate. They have already been unable to fly and are not in a hurry.

There is no water channel at the south gate, and it leads to the hinterland of the kingdom, so there is no need to worry about it.It was also communicated before coming here that countless nobles and private soldiers would surround and hunt down the Vikings who escaped from the south gate.

The current North Gate has [-] elites led by himself.

A total of a thousand soldiers including the East and West Gates are the most elite force cultivated by the kingdom, which has spent huge sums of money to recruit orphans and poor children over the years since they were attacked by the Vikings more than ten years ago.

This is the Orfa Iron Guard!

This elite, whose main weapon is a spear and whose secondary weapon is a Saxon sword, is the shining light of the Kingdom of Mercia and a legion formed by the legendary King Offa who oppressed the Seven Kingdoms of Britain during his lifetime.

Purpose: The main purpose is to deal with locust-like Viking raiders!
"The commander is really good at predicting things. He has predicted that these Vikings will fight among themselves." While waiting, the great warrior Astor said with a twinkling look of admiration.

If you let yourself lead the team, I am afraid that before the Vikings start fighting among themselves, they will directly overwhelm them and start a battle, which will inevitably lead to the loss of a lot of manpower.

"People die for money, birds die for food, and so do these Viking raiders." the black-armored commander replied.

No force can refuse a wealth of more than [-] silver coins.

The garrison of Ivington Abbey has a full five hundred soldiers, and at least three or more Viking raiding teams are needed to attack it.

With so many forces, and with their focus on understanding the Vikings over the years, facing such an astonishing wealth, internal strife and backstabbing are highly likely.

The fighting power of these barbaric pagans is not weak. If four or five raiding parties come, and some of them are not killed by internal strife, the Iron Guards will definitely suffer heavy losses, and there is no guarantee that all these locusts will be left here.

It took a lot of effort to convince the old guys in the kingdom to transfer such a fortune, but now it's finally time to reap the rewards.

The only pity is that only three raiding teams came, and the harvest was not as great as expected.

After waiting for a while, the black-armored commander felt that the time was almost up, and his voice swept behind him:

"It's time for us to take the stage. Leave 50 people and the rest follow me to kill all these turtles in the jar."

Accompanied by a sonorous and solemn sound of blades being drawn, densely packed warriors marched towards the monastery in uniform steps.

On a big tree that no one noticed, there was a trembling fat-headed bird.

……

The monastery baptistery was filled with laughter and laughter.

"What a rich harvest. Bartholomew, and everyone from Mist Crow, I'll see you again when we have the chance." Count Bjorn has already made up his mind. With this money, he will first go back to the West to pacify the Longhair Territory next door and expand the territory. own territory and power.

Carrying two boxes of belongings, the warriors from the Human-Bear Leader were the first to leave the baptistery.

"Get ready, we'll leave here right away."

Bassomo's eyelids twitched slightly. Such a huge amount of wealth was really unsettling.This time he didn't plan to go to Kalichi's stronghold in exchange for a war ship, so he had to take a detour and go directly back to the tribe to avoid any complications.

While thinking this way, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air seemed to be faintly heard in my ears, and my ears perked up. I couldn't hear it wrong...

The next moment, screams came from outside.

"Iron Guards, densely packed Iron Guards..." A soldier walked to the door and took a look, and his expression changed immediately.

Everyone felt that the ground beneath their feet began to roar and stir.

This kind of uniform pace can only be attributed to the elite of Mercia, the Austrian Iron Guard.

Bassomo's expression changed. Naturally, he considered that the property of more than [-] yuan might be a trap, but the gold and silver light that was placed there at that time was irresistible.

Even if it was a trap, they had already stepped into it.

Moreover, if you want to plunder wealth, especially large amounts of wealth, how can you not take some risks?With the elite of his own tribe, there would be no problem in breaking through.

"Barsomo, are we fighting side by side with the human-bear leaders, or..." Sophia asked.

"Take the money, go back and meet Sparrow, and then break out directly." Bartholomew split the window beam with a knife, picked up a box of belongings and jumped out of the window.

The intensive shaking of the earth, and the fact that the Iron Guards always mobilized in groups. Facing thousands of elites, with these dozens of men, they would only die if they went out to fight side by side.

Staff picked up another box of belongings and left through the window with the Mistcrow warriors in the baptistery.Looking behind him, the soldiers of the human-bear leader were retreating step by step, and some people kept falling down.This large group of people also received the attention of the Iron Guard.

"Another wave of people fled back. Should we divide our forces to pursue them?" Astor asked after knocking one of the marauders away with his spear.

The black-armored commander withdrew his gaze from the two large boxes and made an instant decision: "No, just follow a few people from a distance and deal with the current raiding team first."

Since the other party is unwilling to give up their wealth, it is impossible to run to the south gate. They can only transport these heavy boxes filled with coins through warships, and they will still have to return to break out of the encirclement.

……

In the battle situation on the field, faced with several times more elites, and led by two men who were no less powerful than the Viking war commanders, the warriors of the human-bear leader were dying, and those who were still alive were surrounded by many enemies from all sides.

Attacks from all directions around him were overwhelming and overwhelming.

"Odin..."

A man-bear-led berserker raised his head and shouted. Before his fury could be fully unleashed, his neck was suddenly pierced by a spear, and his body was pierced by the spears that came all at once. His body was filled with bloody holes.

Count Bjorn looked at the encirclement of three levels inside and three outside, and saw his men falling one after another, and despair surged in his heart.While he was distracted, there was a sharp pain in his knee, and a long sword cut directly through his kneecap.

Unable to stop himself, he staggered. Fortunately, he was supported by the warrior behind him, and a row of spears came towards him in his sight.

"Father……"

Little Bjorn shouted anxiously, and hurriedly came to support him, swinging his sword to slash at the man in black armor who had sneak-attacked his father.

The left scabbard of the man in black armor suddenly lit up with a light.

brush--

"Bjorn!!"

A line of blood spilled from the young warrior's neck, and his body was completely submerged by the swords around him.

"Dawn Divine Sword!!"

A burst of fanatical Iron Guard roars erupted in the field.

The black-armored commander held two swords and pressed against the furious Viking leader.

"I killed you!"

Seeing the death of his son, Earl Bjorn was heartbroken with grief. His eyes turned scarlet, and even his injured knees were lifted up, and the shield hammer faced the two fine long swords.

There was a gap in skill, speed, and even strength. This wave of ferocious shield hammer attacks added several wounds to his body, and several of his surrounding subordinates fell down.

Bjorn looked like he was crazy, and continued to press against the murderer in front of him regardless of his strength, and he no longer had any concerns about the weapons swung at his side.

"Chief Bjorn, I'm going to take the first step."

"Odin!"

The few remaining soldiers of the Bear Leader fought for their leader one after another with weapons on both sides. It was obvious that they could not break out at the moment. All they could do was to die heroically and hope that the count could defeat and kill this iron guard. Military commander.

Keng...

The confrontation between the two swords and the shield hammer produced sparks. Facing the viking leader who was fighting life-threatening tactics, the black-armored commander also found it difficult to resist. The opponent could risk his life, but he would not risk his life with him.

The most enviable thing is that these Viking berserkers and war commanders have a violent talent that ignores fatigue. In a battle where the gap in strength is not that huge, I don't know how much advantage they take.

Of course, with an elite force that is several times larger than the opponent's, the outcome is doomed.

Even the Viking war commander could only hold on for a while. If those ordinary berserkers faced this level of siege, they would be killed in an instant regardless of whether they would be berserk or not.

shhhhh--

Under the scarlet moonlight, several arrows flew from the sky in the distance.

"Astor, you take 400 people directly to the west gate to intercept them." The black-armored commander withdrew his peripheral vision from the direction of the arrows. The arrows in that direction were obviously another wave of people preparing to break out at the west gate of the monastery.

While speaking, his movements did not stop, and his two swords blocked the Viking leader's desperate attacks one after another.

Dual-tasking is his talent.

"I will go immediately, and four regiments will follow me from the outside." Astor, the deputy commander of the Iron Guard, walked away with hundreds of people without hesitation.

The wave of Vikings currently fighting has very few people left and they are all at the end of their game, so they don't need so much power.

After less than a few minutes, the battle here came to an end.

The warriors of the human-bear leader were basically dead. Bjorn had no knife blockers on either side or behind him. His body was quickly covered with wounds. His body suffered a lot of wear and blood, and his rage gradually became unsustainable.

He tried to activate the second rage that war commanders were rumored to be able to do, but a flood of exhaustion suddenly flooded into his mind. In an unprepared trance, the weapons all around him were all attacking, and his head was blown away by a sword.
