Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 87 The wind rises!Winter is coming

Another hand knife!

Jecam's heart moved slightly, and he quickly put his mind down and stopped paying attention. A quick and slow knife sweep was enough for him to learn for a lifetime.

The more you think, the bigger your head gets!

It's really a good motto. It came from Jackham on the Blackwater River. Reilly would have been shocked by his own talent when he heard it.

At this time, Rayleigh was feeling faintly excited, overlapping quick and slow knives, four basic sword skills, quick and slow knives, four instantaneous stepping steps, hand sword stunts, and even afterimage flying kicks, quick and slow knives combos...

These are enough years for oneself to learn. In order to master them and master the most suitable techniques in actual combat, the time required is even more incalculable. The days to come will not be boring.

The five-level fast and slow sword that can cut everything is even more exciting.

Of course, due to limited energy, you have to focus on something. After you master the fast and slow knife slashing and step steps first, you can consider other things.

Bartholomew's voice continued to ring in his ears: "Basic skills are the foundation and determine one's actual combat level. The physical strength consumed by the fast and slow swords is not small, and it can only be regarded as the upper limit of the excess."

In other words, it’s all fancy and exclusive to geniuses.

Skadi made a mental evaluation. Most of the senior warriors in the tribe, including elite berserkers like Sophia, did not know how to use the quick and slow sword.

From this point of view, it is very suitable for Rayleigh, he likes these fancy things.

There is no need to learn it yourself, or you can try to learn how to thrust with a fast and slow knife. I don’t know if you are talented enough.

"Okay, you can train on your own."

After Bassomo finished instructing and said a few words, he sat down by the campfire, cut out the meat and started roasting it.

In his peripheral vision, Rayleigh walked towards the sculptor:

"Captain Sparrow, please advise."

This has been the norm for this period of time. Every day this kid will have a duel with Spyro, who has a huge gap in strength, or himself. The outcome of the battle is naturally no suspense. What is suspenseful is that this super genius can sustain it. Attack a few times.

Only defensive but not offensive, the purpose is obviously to train its own defensive ability in the face of strong pressure.Of course, facing a war commander who was several levels above him, he could only be tired of defending.

As for why?

Bartholomew had a vague suspicion in his mind. On the day the raiding team returned, he heard at the port about the disappearance of the girl with strange eyes and the burning of the Bastian family farm.

This period of time has been extremely calm.

After getting the compensation from Tom from the leader and finding his sister, Rayleigh seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter.But things are obviously not that simple. Faced with strong pressure attacks from himself or Sparrow every day, this guy must be preparing for something.

Just a Thom who has long lost his fighting spirit is not enough to make this monster-level genius take him so seriously.

In sight, the battle between the two began:
Spyro held the extraordinary nameless iron sword with one hand, while Rayleigh held the family sword with both hands. Xianyu's arm strength was not as good as his own giant arms, but compared to these young people, they were too strong. There are many, and the sword edge is extremely heavy.

Even Rayleigh couldn't withstand the opponent's attack without holding the sword with both hands.

This point has been verified in previous battles. In less than three breaths, if you don't receive two attacks, you will be unbalanced, and the next sword will naturally result in defeat.

After all, his opponent is known as a martial arts idiot. This guy's ability to seize opportunities is a level better than his own.

when--

The two swords collided together.

Rayleigh opened his eagle eyes and concentrated on meeting another swift slash. He raised his sword... and sure enough, he changed his move and blocked it.

Faced with the ever-changing yet fluid sword in front of him, if he didn't have an eagle eye to see through it, he would probably be defeated within three breaths.

After parrying four attacks, the man on the other side had finished his warm-up.

The next period is when it is difficult to parry. Spyro's sword pursues the goal of knocking down the opponent as quickly as possible, and will not drag it out for dozens of breaths.

Jecam and others in the field were all staring intently. At this time, the sculptor would use all means.

really--

The next attack, the moment the iron sword was blocked, the scabbard hit him unexpectedly.

Lei Li has never been able to pass this level and has been defeated repeatedly. I wonder if there will be a breakthrough today?

But it's hard to think about it. Faced with the sudden scabbard, I have tried to use an ax or a shield to break through this level before.

But none of them had any effect. The scabbard came too fast, and it was extremely difficult for him to block the frontal iron sword attack with both hands holding the weapon. At that moment, it was too late to go to get the shield and axe.

A banging sound was heard in the ears, and the scabbard was blocked in everyone's surprised eyes.

what happened! !

Their pupils dilated, and they saw Lei Li directly blocking the scabbard with his own palm.

The moment he finished blocking the scabbard, he immediately took back the long sword and parried the powerful and heavy iron sword again.

As expected of Rayleigh! !

It was too slow to get the ax and shield, but I actually thought of using my palms to block. It was an extraordinary fighting idea.

Of course, it's not just the fighting ideas, it also shows this guy's extremely strong bones and pain-taking ability with his hands.Faced with a heavy blow from the scabbard, if an ordinary soldier dared to catch it with his hands, he would probably have his own hand bones cracked first.

It's a pity that he is facing Spyro. If he blocks this blow, he will also receive a more powerful attack——

The scabbard in sight came again at the moment when Rayleigh parried the attack with both hands, giving no time for his hands to move further.

This is Captain Sparrow, who has astonishing insight. He will not give his opponent the same chance a second time in battle.

Rayleigh will be defeated now...

There was another bang in their ears, and everyone was slightly dumbfounded. They saw that the scabbard was blocked again!

Logically speaking, you can't even pull your palm out, so it's impossible to block it——

Pupils reviewed this momentary scene. At the moment when Rayleigh held the sword in both hands to parry the iron sword, he simultaneously raised his right elbow to block the unruly scabbard.

The whole body can be used as a weapon, it’s really awesome!

Regarding this point, Jecam, Kaysen, and Itia had already discovered something in that brutal battle in the Cambridge Reed Field.

At that time, Rayleigh faced the siege of six elite Iron Guards alone. He used a brutal and bloody fighting method of exchanging injuries for injuries, and solved the siege that had always been an "epic problem" in the eyes of the soldiers.

At that time, his body was slashed with countless knives by his opponent with all his strength. Although the skin was torn and the bones were exposed, the bones were not damaged at all.

At this time, it can be confirmed that Rayleigh's bones must be far stronger and harder than ordinary people.

Sure enough, he is worthy of a general!
The next thing in sight - everyone who was still immersed in admiring Rayleigh's talent saw the general's talent in their eyes, being struck by a sword across their neck, and they were instantly defeated.

"Kaisen, your uncle is really insidious and shameful." Jecam whispered to Kaisen next to him.

Just now, after Captain Xianyu smashed down the scabbard of his sword, he suddenly took an unexpected step and came to the rear of Rayleigh from his side, turning back his iron sword.

In the previous duel between the two, I had never seen him use stepping steps to bully the smaller, and he actually used such cunning and underhand tricks in the battle.

You simply don’t even have any shame!
"My uncle's hearing is very sensitive." Kaison replied.

"Huh? Then he won't hear what I say, right?"

"Of course I heard it."

"..."

Jackham scratched the back of his head and muttered to himself, "Pretend I didn't say that."

Sparrow's voice came to my ears: "Don't worry, I didn't hear it."

"Scared me, I thought you heard it." Jackham breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

Everyone around was stunned.

……

The sky darkens very quickly in winter, and it is already dark as ink even in the evening.

The atmosphere in the leader's longhouse was solemn and dull. With the wedding banquet about to begin, the tribe had to make a choice.

There are only seven people sitting in this room at this time, but these seven people are important enough to determine the future direction of the tribe. Leader Barnard, Commander Dawn, White Prophet, as well as Shurut, Victor, Sophia, Gorton these four captains.

Among them, Dawn also sent people to invite Bartholomew and Sparrow. Sparrow had never been interested in such things and naturally would not come. Bartholomew, who now claimed to be Mist Crow's minion, also did not come.

The old man was the first to speak: "Kurag has the support of the Bone Frost Tribe, and is about to marry with the huge Jackal Tribe. If they are allowed to complete the marriage, then Kulag will start to realize his unification of the northern border. Dream, and several tribes such as Giant Wolf, Eagle, Mountain, Firebird, etc. contacted us to prepare for the wedding banquet... What do you think?"

The old man's eyes swept across the figures, and finally stopped on Gorton: "Gorton, please tell me first."

If he and Dawn set an example first, others would have no choice but to follow the crowd even if they have their own ideas.

"I listen to Daun's command." Gorton ended his speech briefly.

The old man glanced at the next figure: "Where is Sophia?"

"I listen to you." The female captain also simply ended her speech.

When his eyes glanced at Victor, the brown bear-like man spoke first without waiting for the old man to ask: "Chief, I follow the command of Dawn."

"What about you, Shurut?"

"I reserve my opinion. Let's take the situation as it comes." Shurut replied.

As Dawn's brother, Shurut will undoubtedly support his brother's decision, but this is Dawn's brilliance, so that he will not embarrass himself.

The old man looked into those deep eyes: "Dawn, what do you mean?"

Prophet Bai never expresses his opinion on these matters and does not need to ask.His status as a prophet also determines that he serves more as a neutral record-keeper.

"What I mean is that in line with the current situation, Kulag is now powerful and has the support of the Bone Frost tribe. The northern border can no longer stop him."

Dawn continued, "I don't think Lao Langshou and the others have any chance of winning. Of course, if they can really make a difference at the wedding banquet, we will join them."

"According to your wishes, if Kurag stands at the end, then Mist Crow will have no choice but to rely on others." A trace of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes.

Kurag's ambition is obvious, and he must unify the northern territory.Under the rule of outsiders, the tribesmen will be like rootless ducks and fish on the chopping board, and sooner or later they will not be able to get better.

Of course, Kulag will never be so stupid as to want to break up all the tribes from the beginning. He will definitely advance steadily, such as recruiting warriors from all tribes to fight against foreign enemies.

Those tribes that have gradually lost their young warriors and no longer have the strength to resist can integrate them and remove their names——

In this way, it will naturally dissipate with the passage of time and become the past recorded on the parchment.

Just like what Hydra, the leader of the Central Nine Snakes tribe is doing now, countless tribes have disappeared in his hands.

If you take a step back now, I'm afraid you will have to step back step by step in the future. After you have retreated countless times, it will be far more difficult to resist than it is now.

"If that's really the case, there's nothing we can do about it."

Dawn paused for a moment, "How powerful the Pheasants were a hundred years ago. The people of Mist Crow's generation dared to bear the burden, so that's why the current situation is happening. Now Kurag is too sharp and is not suitable for a head-on confrontation. We can only Stay dormant and wait for the opportunity."

"What you said makes sense, but if you don't fight with all your strength, how can you know that there is no chance of winning? Maybe just because of the addition of Mist Crow's people, the situation may be completely reversed." At this moment, the old man suddenly thought of the young man with a pair of eagle eyes.

The original battle on Prisoner's Island was just like the current situation in the North, but that young man made an incredible comeback.

Moreover, the current situation is, after all, different from the period when the Mori Chicken was strong. At that time, there were giant wolf tribes outside the Mori Chicken that were not weaker than them, and their own clan and the Black Fish Tribe in the Strait section also had certain strength.In order to defeat the Mist Crow and the Black Fish, the Mori Chicken will also have to pay an extremely heavy price and will surely be destroyed by the giant wolf.

Overall, it's balanced.

In the past few years, the northern border has been relatively balanced. Although Kulag shouted the slogan of tribal merger, he still dared not take action.Now with the support of the Bone Frost Tribe, the balance has been faintly broken. If Old Wolf Head and the others lose again this time, the balance will be completely broken.

Unless most of the tribes in the north work together, it will be difficult to stop the figure holding the Rainbow Bridge.

"But the possibility of failure is also very high. If you join the Old Wolf Chief, you are betting on the whole family of Mist Crow. Without rigorous calculation, you bet on the life of the whole family. This is not part of my character." Dawn replied .

"Then let it be your decision." The old man is no longer persistent. It's time to let go and enjoy the life of flowers, plants and sunshine.

From another perspective, what Dawn said is indeed correct.Some decisions can only be verified by time, and no one can predict which decision will be the most correct choice at the time.

……

After walking out of the leader's longhouse, even with Victor's brown bear-like physique, he felt a little cold. He looked at the sky and sighed:
"Winter is coming!"

"Yes, winter is coming." A tall and handsome figure came from behind, "Victor, are you interested in sparring with me and stretching your muscles?"

"Okay, but why are you suddenly interested in sparring today?" Victor asked casually.

"Warm up your body." Gorton looked away from the direction of the hunting mountain.

"Then let's go, phew... the wind is blowing."

"Well, it looks like it's going to snow."
