Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 75 Shocking news: The entire ship’s sergeants were killed in battle

Itiya let go of her fingers, and the sharp arrow shot through the body of the fleeing boy with a screaming sound.

The distance between the two sides was not too far, and the opponent was running in a straight line, so the difficulty of this arrow was not great.

"Ah..." The boy screamed and fell to the ground.

"I killed you."

The woodcutter's anger and sadness welled up in his heart, and he rushed towards these hateful pagan plunderers in front of him with a hatchet in his hand.

With a loud shout, the hatchet took the lead and chopped off the head of the leading eagle-eyed marauder.

The sharp edge of the hatchet reflected in the eagle's eyes. Rayleigh grabbed the wrist holding the blade with his left hand and stabbed the woodcutter's heart with the sword in his right hand.

Qiong Fu stepped forward and stabbed the boy who fell to the ground just in case.Being in the territory of these foreigners, it can be said that everything in sight is the enemy.

"We need to get out of this area quickly."

This place is not far from the swamp, and with two more people killed now, it is easy to attract the pursuit of the Iron Guard.

……

At dawn the next day, Insameus and others returned to the monastery after pursuing in vain, feeling very regretful and regretful in their hearts.

Facing the dense encirclement of the entire Iron Guard, they were still able to escape from that wave of people. Whether it was the giant commander or the Viking swordsman with superb swordsmanship, they were both extremely difficult characters to deal with.

If this unexpected opportunity is missed, these pagans will become more troublesome and troublesome in the future.Most of the Viking leaders are not stupid people, and they cannot step into traps one after another. If you want to deal with them again, you don't know how much extra effort and strength it will take.

And the warriors under this tribe are also brave people, which is very troublesome.

The headache was not over yet, but what awaited them was even more shocking news:

"Commander, Arthur died in the battle, and all the sergeants on the ship were also killed." A chapter leader let out a deep breath.

"what?"

"All killed?"

Not only Astor, but also Insameus, who had always been calm and composed, felt a little strange at this time.

This was the most elite Iron Guard. The small warship they were chasing had only six Vikings. I had also observed at the time that the old Viking at the head did not have chain armor and could not be a berserker. The other five They are all young warriors.

It stands to reason...

"What happened? Did they encounter other Viking raiders?" Insamus asked.

"The specific situation is unclear. When we saw that Arthur had not returned, we sent a ship to check. We have just discovered this situation." The chapter leader replied.

"lead the way."

Although Samus had been busy fighting all day long and had not slept for nearly thirty hours, he had no intention of resting at the moment.

The warship set off again, and within half an hour, it arrived at the accident site where two empty ships were parked.

There were already soldiers stationed all around.

"Have you found out the cause?" Insameus got off the boat, sniffed the burning smell that still lingered in the air, and asked a small garrison leader who came over.

The little boss replied: "We didn't dare to disturb the scene, and we haven't checked it in detail yet."

"Yeah." The eagle's eyes scanned the collision marks along the coast, and there was no trace of the third ship coming.

This situation made him even more surprised. If there were no reinforcements, what would have happened that would have caused all the sergeants on the entire ship to die.

Or maybe the pagans had already made a plan in this area in advance, but after thinking about it carefully, they thought it was impossible. Looking at the entire battlefield in the monastery yesterday, this small boat could barely escape, which was obviously a hasty act.

We still have to observe the battle happening here.

As Samus led the Iron Guards into the reed field, the air was mixed with the extremely rich smell of burnt smoke and blood.

Walking to the first corpse, there was no surprise. It was the corpse of his own sergeant. The fatal wound on his neck and the strange rectangular dent three steps away were all visible in the eagle's eyes.

That dent...is a guy full of wisdom!
He simulated a scene in his mind: the sergeant who rushed to the front thrust his spear at the Vikings who were running away with the treasure box in front, but was directly killed by a sharp counter-attack.

Further forward, the second body of the Iron Guard was killed instantly with a spear pierced through the throat.

Another counter-sneak attack!

Continuing forward, there are five corpses, a blind sergeant and a side sergeant. The fatal injuries all came from the neck. The size and traces of the wounds belonged to the Viking sword that killed the No. 1 sergeant earlier.

This guy has killed four people!

Another sergeant was hit in the forehead by an axe, and the remaining two were killed by two different swords.

In front of the line of sight, there was Arthur, the Chapter Commander of the Iron Guard. With an eagle eye, he saw a small knife embedded deeply in the side of his neck. The direction in which the knife was pierced should have come from behind——

He was killed by a single blow from the figure coming from behind! !

Too careless, after all, you are still young.

Samus sighed faintly in his heart. He was very optimistic about this upright and strategic young warrior, but it was a pity that he died here.After walking for more than ten steps, the bodies of many dead soldiers were lying scattered. Those who killed them had sword wounds, ax wounds, and bodies split in half by big swords... This seemed to be the final battle. Hell, the Iron Guards obviously failed to win.

Judging from the heavy footprints on the ground, there were not many Vikings, and they were obviously chased and pressed here by the Iron Guard.

The number is wrong, there are ten people not here.

The eagle eyes glanced around, and on another battlefield to the side, ten other sergeants were lying.

Dozens of breaths later, Samus exhaled and realized that the wounds of these ten sergeants were all caused by the same person, the Viking who had killed four people before!
This battlefield is obviously his separate battlefield. Even if the ten people do not go together, but so many people can be separated, it is obvious that they cannot go one by one. There must have been a siege.

Among the 24 sergeants, at least 14 were killed by him——

What kind of guy is he? !

He has strong physical strength but is not limited to fighting methods. He can not only face tough confrontations, but also make surprise and insidious sneak attacks.

Because Samus suddenly had an idea in his mind, this unknown Viking must be his biggest enemy in the future.

The only good news is that the entire ship's sergeants were killed, which can at least confirm that the infidels who have killed the opponent are not a duck egg record.

What an extremely disappointing news!
"Collect the corpses, burn and commemorate their souls here." The eagle eyes looked at the forest at the end of the line of sight.

At this time, a day had passed since the battle. He was not in a hurry to lead people to search. It was useless to be anxious. The other party was obviously not an idiot, and he probably didn't know where he had gone.

This search is bound to be a protracted one, and it may not be fruitful.

Killing more than 14 people alone, but still being besieged, there is a powerful warrior in that wave of people, and a large-scale scattered sergeant search will only lead to death.

"General, what are the remains of the burning of the heretics?" The little boss pointed to the small area where the swamp was burned.

"Take their bones." Because Samus made a split second decision, the burning materials he prepared in a hurry were obviously not enough to burn all the bones.

By finding the bones, we can confirm that several heretics died, and more importantly...

After a while, a sergeant placed wooden boards and searched for the burned remains in the swamp. He said, "Commander, we only found one skeleton."

"Only one?"

The surrounding Iron Guards all showed a look of surprise and unwillingness, as if a big stone had been stuffed into their stomachs:

As a result, the entire ship was killed, and only one person on the other side was killed.

How hard it is to calm down!
The monastery was the bait, and it took no effort to eliminate two waves of Viking raiders in succession. It also wiped out most of the men of the third wave of Viking raiders within an acceptable loss range. And this current poor performance is It was as if a mouse excrement had been thrown into the Iron Guard's impressive achievements this time.

The losses didn't stop there, there were also the three boxes of missing wealth.

"Take away the bones and hang them on the Cambridge Medal Wall." Samuels had already vaguely anticipated such a result.

However, since he dared to risk being discovered and burnt the heretic for burial, it was obvious that this heretic held great weight in the hearts of the fleeing Vikings.

It is necessary to take it back and hang it on the medal wall for display. Vikings who have lost their minds are the easiest characters to kill.

"Astor, you take a rest first, and then take some people to look for their traces."

"Leave a few more people and dig nearby places where treasure chests may be buried."

Because Samus issued two orders in succession, he did not have high expectations for digging the treasure chest, such a large area, and the large swamp in front of him.Not to mention that it is very likely that it will not be buried here, it can only be tried.

It was impossible for him to pull all the Iron Guards over and dig three feet into all the surrounding areas. There were too many locusts to catch, and he didn't have the energy to waste digging here for illusory boxes.

As for asking other people to dig, if someone is guarding it, they will not do their best, and if no one is guarding it, it will be stolen by others.

Astor can only try to find the few Vikings who escaped from here, and then pry out the news about the treasure chest from them.

……

After a week of trekking through mountains and rivers, Rayleigh and others successfully occupied the bandit's residence in a small mountain forest.

There were only about a dozen people in this bandit stronghold. In a pre-dawn raid, they entered the cave and killed all the sleeping bandits.

With such a stronghold, life suddenly became richer, and they did not have to worry about finding food. The stronghold stored enough food for them to eat for ten days and a half.Safety is also guaranteed to a certain extent. The cave has three exits. Even if it is besieged by soldiers, there are enough routes to escape.

Since fleeing all the way, everyone's spirits have been in a state of tension and they are already very tired.Now I can finally take a breath and enter the stage of recuperation.

For a period of time after that, nothing major happened around the bandits. Everyone spent their days recovering from their injuries, taking advantage of the situation to explore the surrounding locations, and going out to hunt and store food.

Half a month has passed like this, and everyone has recovered from their injuries and is ready to leave here and return to the Kalich stronghold in Norfolk County.

But returning is not an easy task. This is the territory of foreigners and they are not familiar with the road conditions.It's not safe to threaten foreigners to lead the way. With such a long journey, too many things can happen, and who knows where they will take them.

Moreover, there was a language barrier. Lei Li was not a foreign language major in his previous life. Coupled with the age gap and serious oral language, he was confused about the language of this kingdom, and communication was impossible.

This impediment to the return journey that lay in front of him like a divine punishment also made Rayleigh decide that he must learn the language here after returning to the Kalic stronghold.There are many slaves there, and it is not difficult to find a slave who can read.

After waiting for several days, they finally saw an opportunity. A wave of Vikings entered the town at the foot of the mountain.
