Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 96 Showdown on the Ship 3: The Truth About Puffin
This woman, even when she was about to die, could still laugh.

A strange feeling arose in the hearts of everyone on the boat until the smiling man passed by in the blink of an eye, and then a soldier shouted hurriedly:

"Protect the Captain."

What can happen to the captain?

Everyone looked back with slight doubts, their expressions were dull, and they saw that a small knife was inserted deeply into the gap in the leather armor of Captain Gorton's wrist, and his hands were covered with blood.

"Jinat, what on earth are you doing?" a soldier accused him.

In the peripheral vision, the Laughing Man was already standing next to Rayleigh and the murderer of Captain Thor.

It was unclear at this point that Captain Gorton was stabbed in the back by the Laughing Man.

But why is this guy doing this! !

The plain voice of the Laughing Man came into my ears: "Captain Gorton, I'm sorry, I choose to stand on this side."

The atmosphere on the ship was suddenly quiet and suffocating. Everyone's expressions were mixed with confusion and confusion. Rayleigh had been seriously injured, and Itia was the mortal enemy of the soldiers on the ship. No matter from any aspect, the Laughing Man was not Make this self-destructive choice.

wrong! !
If he was originally on Rayleigh's side, then the knife that pierced his waist earlier——

"You choose to betray me?"

Gordon stared at the backstabber in front of him with cold eyes. The blade pierced the blood vessels in his wrist. The enemy was in front of him. At this time, he could no longer pull it out or treat it, leaving blood dripping along his fingers.

"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. I don't think you have a good chance of winning." A flash of memory flashed in Genat's eyes.

In the duel on the assessment platform a year ago, he saw an unfathomable and unfathomable villain waiting on the road ahead, and an unprecedented evil and terrifying girl appeared from the shadows, cutting off his escape route.

How to be against?

In that chase in the farm fire, Gorton failed to kill Mellie, and his heart was already shaken. The scene he had foreseen in the past was so similar to the visitor in the longhouse last night, so he continued to follow Gorton. The risk is too great:
Even if Rayleigh can be eliminated on this ship, there are still girls with strange eyes left in the tribe. Girls with strange eyes who have been hunted down once are no longer so easy to kill, and they will really be haunted by evil spirits in the future. No relief.

And if he chooses to side with Rayleigh, he only needs to deal with Gorton on this ship, and everything will be over.

But after all, I have followed Gorton for so many years, and he has been very good to me. Last night, my heart was still shaken, until the fire shined on the wall, and that shocking scene was unbelievable——

There are no more waves in my thoughts, and I am firm!
"You betrayed my brother. Of course, Genat can choose to betray you." Rayleigh uttered a word to the dragon-headed figure, and suddenly stood up straight. He took out the Saxon sword with the hand covering his waist and handed it to the man beside him. helper.

The Laughing Man took the sword and said to everyone on the boat: "If everyone still remembers the friendship between Captain Saul in the past, then don't interfere in the matter between Rayleigh and Gorton. This is between the two of them. contradiction."

Gordon stared at the scene in front of him and smelled the faint smell of chicken blood in the air. Apparently, the sword that passed by Thom did not pierce Reilly's body.

With the help of Thom's death, the blood stains spread across the deck in a large area, covering up the smell of chicken blood that he was deliberately stabbed. The blood he coughed up was caused by biting his tongue in advance in order to quickly launch a violent rage——

Such an opponent is more than a bit stronger than the original Thor!
"The Laughing Man, how should we settle the account of Itiya killing Captain Thor? How can we prevent us from intervening?" a soldier asked.

"If we really want to remember our past friendship, we should stand firmly on the side of Captain Gorton, who has been trying to avenge Captain Saul."

"Jinat, stop being so stubborn."

Several soldiers around him said in unison, with some drumming in their hearts. The scene when Rayleigh easily pulled out the sword from his waist showed that he was obviously not injured at all.

"Just listening to Gordon's one-sided story, we can't conclude that Itiya is the murderer." Raop said in a clear mood.

Before, he thought he would definitely die, but who would have thought that it was a scene jointly performed by Rayleigh and the Laughing Man.

Purpose: Obviously, in order to make Gorton think that he has a chance to win and relax his mind, he was unexpectedly stabbed by the Laughing Man.

Although this knife was not fatal, it was enough to prevent Gorton from exerting the strength of that hand. With only one hand left to exert force, his strength was reduced by more than a little.

Those two people are really insidious!
Not only that, Etiya's acting skills were also very superb, her expression seemed as if Rayleigh had really suffered a serious injury before.

But after all, Rayleigh is too young. If he wants to defeat Gorton, who is now a berserker, he will not be able to defeat him without using some means.

"The facts have been established, Raop, you are still making excuses." A soldier glared at the rebel.

"Who told you for sure? Did you know that Captain Gordon, whom you call, asked me to propose marriage to Itia on his behalf less than a month after Thor died?" Genat glanced at the soldiers on the ship. , the words are astonishing.

In the longhouse last night, I was very sure that no other captain except Victor proposed marriage to Itia, because Rayleigh asked in the wrong way, because at that time Gorton...

Not the captain yet!
"What did you say?" Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.If what the Laughing Man said is true, then what Captain Gorton said earlier is obviously nonsense.

Jinat raised his finger: "I swear to the gods, if there is even half a lie in what I said just now, I will be struck by lightning and die."

"Very good. It's useless to talk more. If you want to seize power, just come directly." Gorton's solemn voice came out.

"Wait, before that, I think it is necessary to clear my sister-in-law's innocence first, so as not to be slandered by people's nonsense again."

Rayleigh took out a roll of parchment from his arms and threw it to everyone, "On the way back from the raiding party, we chased the pirates all the way and entered a strange tribal territory called 'Pewter'. We got a piece of parchment from the prophet's residence there. Stacking up parchments recording the past events of the Water Rats, I unexpectedly found the truth about Puffin.”

"The truth about Puffin?"

"Yes, the soldiers on Sophia's ship all know about this matter and these parchments depicting the past of the water rat people." Rayleigh's calm voice came out.

The soldiers all looked at the opened stack of ancient parchment. Inside, there was a drawing of a water rat man with short fangs lying in the farmland. The following pictures were all the memories of this water rat man.

The first picture: a head covered with black hair emerges from the well, with two girls in sight, and a text annotated on the painting.

"Ten years ago, the Puffin Tribe." A soldier read the text annotation.

Second scene: While another girl is not paying attention, black hands covered with mud grab a girl by the well, and the girl falls down.

The third scene: Under the dark well, the Water Rat Man looked on with a sinister smile. Above the well, a girl was shouting anxiously.

The fourth picture: Jingkou reveals a pair of eyes, looking at the girl who is surrounded by men and women and scolding her, with happy eyes.

The fifth picture: A figure covered in black fur stretches out its paws towards a baby.

After reading the parchment picture, a soldier murmured: "So, the death of Itia's stepmother and children that happened in the Puffin tribe was caused by this notorious water rat man?"

"Yes, when Brother Sol was still alive, you must know my sister-in-law's character very well, she was gentle and virtuous."

The eagle eyes then focused on the dragon-headed man, "Gorton, for your own desires and ambitions, you killed brother Thor, who treated you as a brother and sister. Your unscrupulous evil deeds are outrageous to both humans and gods. Now it's time to put an end to it."

With these words, Rayleigh, Itia, and Genat gripped their weapons and started walking towards the bow of the ship.

A soldier tried to intercept: "Leili, things are not certain yet..."

Raopu drew out his ax and looked at the intercepting soldiers: "Don't move, let them solve it themselves."

The atmosphere was tense for a moment!
At this time, the hearts of the soldiers on the ship were like undulating waves. Looking back on what happened in the short period of time when the warship left Daun's fleet, their heads were a little confused.

A moment ago, Rayleigh had suffered a serious injury. Itia was identified as the murderer. The wall fell and everyone pushed against it. There were enemies everywhere.

But at the moment, Rayleigh was unscathed, and Itia was not the murderer. Instead, Captain Gorton was stabbed in the back by the Laughing Man and suffered trauma. He was even accused of being the murderer and was about to face a dangerous situation of siege.

They now understood that no matter what the cause of Captain Thor's death was in the past, whether it was due to Itia, Gorton, or it was not that complicated at all, just a normal accident... none of these important.

The important thing is that only one of Gorton and Raleigh, each more terrifying than the other, can survive on this ship.

They can't interfere in this ups and downs of a boss-level fight, as long as they follow the one who survives.

"You think you can defeat me by being despicable and shameless, and you take it for granted." Gorton's deep voice swept through the entire ship.

The person in front of him is at best an elite raider warrior, but he himself is a berserk warrior. He overwhelms the opponent by a level, even if he gives him a hand.

"To each other, you asked Genat to give me a knife, and I gave you a knife in return. It's even." Reilly replied calmly.

Gordon drew out the sharpened sword with his right hand and said in a cold voice: "Then let's go together!"

"Do you think it's a siege? No, this is a captain's challenge." After Reilly finished speaking, he glanced at it. Itia and Genat beside him stayed where they were.

The siege to kill Gorton is unjust and unjust, and it will also create a gap in the hearts of those crew members who are inclined to Gorton, and other soldiers may also have some additional opinions.

The Raider warriors of their own age have the right to challenge the captain, and they have been honing their defensive abilities under the high pressure of Sparrow and Bartholmore for more than a month, just for this battle.

The hard power is indeed inferior, but when Gordon was stabbed in the wrist, not only was one hand disabled, but there was something on the knife...

This is the biggest chance of winning!
