Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 71 Rainbow Bridge

"Enter the river and prepare to seize the boat."

Seeing the medium-sized warship occupied by the Iron Guard starting to leave the shore, Bartholomew shouted, and the sword combined with Sophia's ax swept across, forcing back a row of soldiers. The surrounding Mist Crow warriors did not hesitate. They all jumped into Hanoi.

Bartholomew, Sophia, and Spyro, who deflected the black-armored leader's attack, jumped into the river.

A large amount of water splashed up, and the black-armored commander suddenly felt something bad. He shouted at the three warships in front and two behind: "The Vikings want to seize the ship, pay attention to the water."

A large number of Iron Guardsmen on the shore jumped into the river with their blades drawn, but in water battles, their strength was far inferior to that of the Viking warriors who had been training in the sea since childhood, and each of them possessed top-notch water combat abilities.

Along with the surging waves, the river surface was soon completely dyed red with blood.

The black-armored commander did not go into the water to fight, that was not what he was good at. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to shoot a row of arrows into the sky. The Iron Guards who saw the arrows at the north gate would soon come over with their warships.

"Pay attention to the surrounding water..."

The leader of the medium-sized warship, Chapter Captain Arthur, saw blood blooming on the river in an instant, and quickly reminded the soldiers paddling.

The next moment, several figures clung to the hull of the ship and fiercely jumped out of the water. Their weapons directly took away the lives of several Iron Guardsmen. The surrounding Iron Guards reacted and stabbed their spears into the ship without interruption. The body is surrounded by water.

"Get out of here quickly." Arthur ordered, and the soldier without a spear quickly started paddling.

On the river bank, the black-armored commander drew his bow and arrow, his eagle eyes flashed sharply, and the arrow shot directly through the neck of a Viking warrior with a sound of breaking through the air.The great warrior Astor then shot out a spear in his hand, once again taking away the life of a Viking warrior.

Under the water, Bassomo grabbed a spear and jumped up, directly charging into the warship.

The other fogcrow warriors around also grabbed the spears that had been stabbed down, and all jumped into the warship to fight at close range. Several tribal warriors were stabbed to death on the spot while jumping in mid-air.

Sparrow's scabbard and iron sword blew up a whirlwind, sweeping a large number of Iron Guards down to the river.

Seeing that the control of the warship was gradually seized by the pagans, the leader of the group, Arthur, no longer hesitated, stepped on the edge of the ship, and jumped to another medium-sized warship that was sailing past two meters away.

There are now less than 30 of these heretics, not enough to compete for this warship.

"let's go!"

Arthur always kept his goal in mind, which was the boat ahead that was about to disappear from sight, not to mention that the boat also carried a huge wealth of [-] silver coins.These heretics around him will naturally be dealt with by the general, and it is not something he needs to consider.

The warship cut through the waves and quickly left here.

Another small warship sailed directly to the shore. The black-armored commander and Astor jumped on the ship in a sprint and killed the Vikings who were about to completely control the medium-sized warship.

As for the escaping Viking boat, there were only six people, and Arthur led four times as many warriors as them. It was more than enough to kill them.

The two Viking war commanders and main personnel in front of me are the most valuable achievements!

Astor lowered his center of gravity, aimed the spear in his hand at the female warrior holding a long-handled ax in his sight, and suddenly shot out——

"Sofia, be careful!"

A male warrior of ordinary size jumped out one step ahead, and the spear penetrated through his body with astonishing force and penetrated into the female warrior's chain armor.

The blood is as red as fire!
……

"Raise your shield and prepare to charge forward."

Old Sam, who was controlling the main propeller, saw a dozen soldiers on the sentry tower ahead drawing their bows and arrows. He shouted quickly and raised his shield at the same time.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

More than a dozen arrows fell together, followed by dense crashing sounds on the shield.

The iron cable mechanism in the river ahead had been destroyed when they came over. Except for the soldiers on the sentry tower, the river was not blocked. The warships roared past under the sentry tower with the sound of breaking waves.

After the soldiers above fired another round of arrows, they could only watch the warship leave. It was not their duty to pursue the warship.Then he loaded the arrows again and aimed at the medium-sized warship coming from behind.

"Wait a minute... The person standing at the dragon's head seems to be Captain Arthur." A soldier quickly stopped others from shooting arrows.

"It's really Captain Arthur. I said that with a big commander leading the team, how could it be so easy for the Vikings to break through one ship after another."

"Well, those marauders can't escape."

The soldiers on the guard tower watched as their Iron Guards chased away in a warship with more than 20 people.

At this time, Lei Li and others encountered a three-way intersection ahead. In the left river channel that they came from earlier, there were two ships heading that way.

"It's a Saxon ship, we have to change lanes."

Without any time to think, Old Sam steered the warship toward the river on the right. His eyes glanced behind him, and he saw the two ships speeding up and chasing after them.

An obscure voice came into my ears——

"There are only six people on the Viking pirate ship. Hurry up and chase them. Don't let these sinful pagans escape."

"Those who came out of the monastery must have brought a lot of wealth. If you catch them, you can make a fortune."

"Wait a minute, another warship has arrived, and there seems to be a lot of people. Slow down first..."

The mercenaries on the two ships were filled with regret when they saw that it was the warship being pursued by the Iron Guard.Since there are so many people of the Iron Guard chasing the small boats ahead, they will naturally have nothing to do with fighting for food with the Iron Guard. They want to live longer.

Watching the Iron Guard warships roaring away, their ships separated and blocked their own rivers, waiting for another pirate ship to arrive.

……

"If this continues, we will be overtaken soon." Old Sam said worriedly as his peripheral vision passed by the Iron Guard warship appearing behind him.

The number of people rowing on our side is less than half the standard for a small warship. Obviously, the opponent's full manpower is faster.

"Perhaps you can throw away the treasure box and reduce some weight." Rayleigh replied.

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

Under the current situation, it is difficult to save his own life, let alone run away with these heavy treasure boxes.

When the ship rounded a bend and entered the blind spot of the Iron Guards at the rear, Reilly decisively picked up a treasure box and threw it into the river.Throwing it away does not mean completely giving up these treasures that were obtained at the expense of dozens of tribal warriors. When the time is right, it is natural to come back and retrieve these boxes.

Seeing this scene, Old Sam's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I have thought of a way for you to escape from this place."

"No!" Reilly refused directly.

"I think so." Old Sam insisted.

Kaisen naturally heard what the two said and said: "How far can your boat go without our oars? By then the other party has occupied two boats and sent two waves of people to search. You will still die." Even if two or three of them escape, they will never have peace in their hearts."

"So, your method doesn't work at all."

Old Sam just wanted them to take advantage of the Iron Guard's blind spot, let him and others enter the water like a treasure chest, and then run ashore.

"It's better to die in a vigorous battle!" Qiong Fu said.

"Well, I didn't think about it." Old Sam stopped talking about this topic. He really didn't consider that without the help of people to row the oars, he and his warship would not be able to sail very far without being killed.

Those Iron Guards will be looking for them soon, and the five people behind them are not enough to survive.Such a decision can be said to be killing people without any resistance.

"If I die in battle, I can be reunited with my father."

Jecam looked at the dawn light in the sky and seemed to see a rainbow bridge. His father was standing on the rainbow bridge. His eyes looking over were full of tenderness, and his face was filled with anger:

Boy, if you have such a lack of fighting spirit, it makes me very disappointed.

Rayleigh's voice came to my ears:

"Uncle Staff's last instruction to me is to survive with you. Your father doesn't want to be reunited with you at this time."

"Hmm...I understand." Jecam nodded, "Let us fight to survive bravely!"

"That's good." A trace of relief flashed in Old Sam's eyes.

After sailing another few hundred meters, Rayleigh silently dropped a box again. The warships behind him also got closer and closer. There was no chance to find a blind spot in the field of vision to throw away the last box.

Even after throwing away the two treasure boxes, the speed was still being shortened rapidly, and the sound of arrows piercing the air flew from behind.

Rayleigh stopped rowing and opened his eagle eye. He held a shield and a sword in both hands to resist the flying arrows.There were only five oarsmen left, and the distance between the two boats was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Old Sam noticed this scene and said loudly: "We have to dock."

bang——

The warship crashed directly into the shore, and everyone immediately jumped off the ship. Rayleigh picked up the treasure box, swept his feet over the dry reeds, and ran forward with all his strength.

This is a reed field, but it is autumn now, and most of the reeds have dried up and fallen to the ground, which cannot hide the human figure.The terrain was really not very good for them. It was vast and empty at first glance, and there were no trees suitable to withstand arrows.

Not to mention, it has now been discovered by the opponent.

At the end of his sight, he saw a mountain forest, but it was probably thousands of meters away.

"Even when death is imminent, I still hold on to the money box." Looking at the figure running at the end and the treasure box it held, the Iron Guards all flashed a look of ridicule.

The medium-sized warship hit the shore, and everyone quickly disembarked and chased the Viking raiders ahead.

Five or six soldiers who were good at archery took out their bows and arrows and shot arrows while running. These Vikings had to worry about the threats from behind. Sure enough, they saw the six figures in front of them getting slower and slower.

until it comes to a complete stop.

"There is a swamp ahead and we can't cross it."

Jecam stepped into the swamp with one foot and was pulled back by Old Sam and Kayson.

"Then prepare to fight."

The five of them drew their weapons. They were unfamiliar with the terrain and there was no need to run anymore. If they ran to the swamp again, they would still be overtaken. It was better to save some energy for fighting.

In the sight, Rayleigh, who was holding the treasure box and worrying about the arrows, had been overtaken, and an Iron Guardsman's spear suddenly stabbed his back.
