Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 93 The eve of the decisive battle!The leader’s amazing feats
In the dark dawn, after the family of three had washed up, had breakfast, and fed the livestock, they were preparing to go to the Blackwater River when they saw a tall figure walking into the farm.

"Chief Barnard, why are you here?"

"Come to give you something." The old man's gentle voice came out.

"How can I ask you to deliver it in person? Just send someone over." Itiya quickly said again, "The leader hasn't had breakfast yet. Food is roasting in the fire pit. Let's eat some inside first."

"Yeah, okay." The old man responded and followed the three people into the longhouse.

"The food is on the shelf above the fire pit, take it as you like." Itia turned back to the leader and said.

Eyes full of years looked towards the middle of the long house, and then a strange color flashed across. The top of the fire pit was empty, even the flames were dimly extinguished, and there was no food in sight.

It seems... I'm treating myself to some air! !

"Cough..." Riley coughed.

"Chief, sit down quickly, eh?" At this time, Idiya also noticed the scene above the fire pit, and was suddenly stunned. "Where is the food? Isn't there a piece of rye bread left? It was clearly there just now."

Eat the leftovers, a piece of food!
Noticing these words, the old man took a deep breath.

Itia looked at the brother and sister, and when she saw Mellie pointing to the livestock pen, she quickly turned to explain to the old man: "I'm really sorry, chief. That piece of bread was taken to the cow to eat. I thought it was still there. I want to feed you..."

good good!
The food for the cows is going to be given to me, right? !
The old man let out a heavy breath. Such hospitality was simply too much.

The parent's voice continued to reach my ears: "I'll prepare food again..."

"Since there is nothing ready-made, why are you so polite?"

After putting down the two things, the old man stood up and strode out of the longhouse without looking back.

Food is roasting on the fire pit...take it with you? ?
I didn't see anything, so I just asked myself to take whatever I wanted. It was an unheard-of atmosphere.

No wonder the prophet was very angry when he came here. She was indeed a woman who told lies and few truths. If she stayed here any longer, she might not be able to find food, so she would be driven home to eat.

That would be really embarrassing!

The leader of a dignified clan is like a beggar, but the food has not arrived yet and he is still waiting to be driven away...

After the old man went out angrily, he sent a message back from a distance: "By the way, neither Sparrow nor Kaisen will go to sea this time. The things left for you can help you more than them. As long as you come back alive, , that’s right.”

"leader……"

The two people in the room shouted something and looked at each other until they noticed the two things left by the old man.

One of them is a piece of parchment.

Another thing! ! !
At this moment, the eyes of the three people were full of shock, sluggishness, and disbelief.

"Is it true?" Itia murmured.

"Is it true?" Eagle Eyes could hardly look away.

So... there is only one last step left before setting sail, the Laughing Man!
……

Central residence on the eve of departure.

Genat returned to his residence from outside. The moment he opened the door, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The room was brighter and warmer than usual.

Before leaving, there was only a layer of charcoal fire in the fire pit, but now it was obviously burning.

Looking around the fire pit, I saw a figure adding firewood to the fire pit.

A voice came into my ears: "You are back."

Genat hesitated for a moment and stepped in. Since the person in front of him was not waiting for him in the dark, it was obvious that it was not a murderous intention.

He closed the door and said, "Reilly, why are you here?"

"I need to figure something out." Rayleigh put down the firewood and patted his dusty palms. "On the day of the tribal meeting, I got a message from Captain Victor. He said that he asked you to go to my farm to pay homage to me. Did Itia propose marriage?"

"Yes, he did ask me about this." Genat nodded.

Eagle Eyes raised his eyes: "How many times have I asked you to please me?"

Genat was stunned for a moment and hesitated in his mind.

A voice continued to come from my ears: "Besides Victor, is there any other captain who has asked you to do this?"

Genat paused for a while and said: "Other than Victor, there was no other captain who asked me to help propose marriage to Itia."

"Are you sure?" Eagle Eyes locked onto him.

"Sure……"

Before Jinat finished speaking, he felt a sudden chill coming from behind him, and he was slightly startled under his smiling face.

There's someone behind you! !
The person behind the scenes was hidden in the darkness, but he didn't notice it at all when he entered the house just now!
A voice came into my ears again: "Are you sure?"

Genat didn't hesitate: "I'm sure."

"It seems I asked in the wrong way." Reilly stood up.

The light from the fire pit illuminated a sword shadow on the surrounding walls.

……

The sky is slightly bright and the wind is as cold as a knife.

The warriors at the port of Mist Crow Territory began to board the ship one after another. This time they will follow the command of Daun and head to Western Europe to obtain wealth.

"Father, will you come back?" the young man asked.

"Of course." The man touched the young man's head, then looked at the woman, paused for a while, and said, "Take care of Dennis."

After saying this, Tom resolutely turned around and walked towards the warship ahead.

It was a medium-sized warship. The original small warship was no longer enough with the addition of several additional warriors.

"Father, I'm waiting for your safe return." The young man shouted towards the man's back.

The back figure paused for a moment, and then took steps again.

'Odin, the King of Gods, and Freya, the Goddess of Love, bless my Tom to return safely...'

The woman, who was a little worried in her heart, watched the man leaving and prayed silently in her heart.

At the head of the warship, Genat noticed the conversing group of Reilikaisen and whispered to Captain Gorton beside him: "If all the three heroes of the Mist Crow arrive, it will be a big trouble. Especially Kaisen, who is the grandson of the old leader.”

"Kaisen won't come." Gorton's peripheral vision glanced at a total of four ships in the surroundings. The quasi-leader Daun personally led the warship. Shurut, Sophia, and himself each led a medium-sized warship. Sparrow was the leader. This time he did not go to sea.

Sparrow stayed to guard the tribe, so Kaysen, who was also a member of the Barnard family, had no reason to go to sea.If Kaisen also goes to sea, he will have only one purpose, to help Rayleigh deal with him.

But the old leader obviously wouldn't let him do this. As the next generation leader of the Barnard family, Kaysen represents not only himself, but also the entire Barnard family to deal with him, who belongs to Dawn. captain……

What will this make quasi-leader Daun think?
"The other one doesn't seem to be coming either." Gorton scanned the entire port and saw no trace of Jekham.

Only Rayleigh and Itia, plus a few rebels on the ship, wanted to stir up trouble, but they overestimated their capabilities.

On the other side, Rayleigh was giving his final instructions to his sister:

"When brother comes back, I will take you to the raider baptism, and then we can go out to sea to raid together." The younger sister nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying that she likes to go on raids with her brother and doesn't like to stay at home alone. .

After bidding farewell to their sister, the Kaysons and others, Rayleigh and Itia walked towards the Gorton warship.

"Kaisen, do you think there will be no accidents with Rayleigh and the others?" Skadi asked worriedly.

What we have to face this time is a captain.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." Kaysen replied with a motto that his grandfather heard from Western Europe.

That ship was in Rayleigh's way, and he was not suitable to intervene. It was also a test for Rayleigh from his grandfather.

Envy!

During that test, my grandfather broke a certain rule and tradition and made an amazing move.

……

Jackham Farm.

With a bang, the figure as strong as a calf flew backwards again.

"You are so weak and pitiful." A trace of ridicule flashed across the corner of the giant man's mouth.

"Commander Bartholomew, get out of the way quickly. I can't catch up with the fleet..." Jekam stood up and glanced at the brightening sky, feeling very anxious in his heart.

After Wei Ni's analysis in the past two days, he also understood Lei Li's intention of releasing the news of selling the sword. This trip to sea must be dangerous. As a friend, how could he not help.

"It's none of my business that you can't catch up with the fleet." Bartholomew picked up a piece of barbecue from the stone table and began to replenish his physical strength.

"Rayleigh is in danger, why don't you understand?" Jecam was irritated. He had been intercepted by the guy in front of him for more than an hour.

"He's much better than you. If there's danger and he can't solve it, what's the point of you going there." Bartholomew ate barbecue and turned to Winnie, who was looking at her husband worriedly. " Winnie, go grill some more meat."

"Oh, okay." Winnie walked towards the longhouse without daring to refute.

"You're not allowed to go." Jecam stopped his wife and glared at the giant man in front of him, "Asshole, don't eat my meat..."

"I just eat." Bartholomew disagreed and said to the stopped woman again, "Winnie, go barbecue quickly, your Jiekamu also needs to replenish his strength."

"I don't need to replenish my energy, you bastard, get out of my way."

Jecam charged again, but was beaten to the ground again by the powerful giant man like a chicken.

"Commander, commander, can you be gentler?" Wei Ni said timidly.

"Oh, okay, but I started lightly enough." Bartholomew responded.

"Thank you, Commander." After Wei Ni said this, she walked out of the longhouse and began to barbecue.

My husband's angry voice continued to ring in my ears: "Let me ask you one last time, if you don't get out of the way, I will really get angry. Don't blame me for being unkind."

"No wonder he's so weak. It turns out he's not angry yet... But don't be merciful to me." Bassomo grabbed a piece of barbecue again, "Why don't you have a piece of barbecue first? You have the strength to be merciless."

"The ship is about to leave!!" Jackham frowned.

The ignorant and powerful bastard in front of him made him almost vomit blood.

"Okay. You said you just got married to Winnie and you can't live quietly for a few days. Why are you in such a hurry to go to sea?" Bassomo finished chewing the barbecue after a few mouthfuls, and suddenly felt full of energy.

"Are you deaf? Rayleigh is in danger!" Jackham continued angrily, "You have had partners and friends. Aren't you worried when your friends are in danger?"

"friend."

Bassomo's face gradually turned ferocious, "I had friends, and your father was my friend, but he was not strong enough, so he went to the Hall of Valor first. Do you understand how I felt at that time!"

"For Rayleigh, you are not strong enough. He doesn't want to see you go to the Hall of Valor first one day."

Bartholomew walked over and knocked down Jecum with a punch, "Why do you think I came here? Because you are Staff's son, and because it was Reilly who asked me to come here to stop you and give you special training during this period. He I don’t want to lose you as a friend suddenly in a certain battle. He went to sea twice and witnessed the death of many people, including your father, old Sam, and many soldiers. Do you understand..."

"Commander, please be gentler." Wei Ni ran out and said with a bit of timidity.

"Oh, okay." Bassomo immediately became less angry. After all, he had short hands and was still waiting to eat barbecue.

"I don't understand. I only understand that you should help your friends when they are in trouble. It's not as complicated as you said." Jekam angrily threw away the giant arm that suppressed him.

Bassomo retracted his arm and said, "That's right. You can go ahead."

let me go?
Jackham was stunned for a moment, no longer thinking about it, and quickly turned around and ran towards the outside of the farm. After only a few steps...

"Jackam, the fleet has already left. That guy is so strong, nothing will happen to him."

"Since Rayleigh didn't ask us to help, he must have his own confidence."

Accompanied by footsteps and voices, Kaysen and Skadi walked in from outside the farm.

……

The sea is full of cold winds, and even with the physical strength of the warriors, they still need to wrap up their clothes tightly.

At the bow of the battleship, Dawn said to the mate Victor beside him: "Winter is too cold and it is really not suitable for a long voyage. If it weren't for this time, time waits for no one."

Victor nodded, and with his peripheral vision, he glanced at Gorton at the bow of the other ship and Reilly at the stern, and whispered: "Those two people seem to have a conflict, will there be a problem?"

"It won't be a problem." Dawn replied casually.

Whether it was Gorton or Reilly, he personally visited them.If there is any problem with this, then it is refuting one's own face and prestige.

Those two are smart people and would not do such a stupid thing.

……

The eagle's eyes glanced over a total of four warships, including his own. With the profits gained from raids on Western Europe over the years and the increase in food, Scandinavia as a whole was able to support a larger population than a dozen years ago.

The population that had accumulated from babies in the early days of Western Europe's plundering and continued to increase also began to explode in these years.

Compared with that summer four years ago, the population of the Mist Crow tribe now exceeds 700. Even though forty warriors were killed due to the failure of the autumn raid, the overall strength and number of warriors are still slightly stronger than then.

After all, tribal warriors die every year, and it was the same in previous years, but not as many as this year. Every year, new raiders appear to add to the fleet.

Putting aside the small number of warriors left in the tribe, there are more than 90 warriors in the four surrounding warships alone.

His eyes fell on the sea water that opened like waves as the warship sailed. The sea water is no different from lakes and rivers. The salt contained in it and the resonance power of the waves are almost impossible even in the coldest winter. How much ice will appear on the sea surface?

The atmosphere on this ship is oppressive, strange, and suffocating.

A few hours later, the fleet entered the central range, and the sky gradually became dark, leaving only some dim light.

"Commander, two pirate ships appeared ahead."

"Move your body and kill them."

Daun spoke indifferently, and the four warships began to accelerate towards the pirate ship in front of them.

Quietly, a warship gradually fell behind.
