Chapter 266 6.14 First Battle (3)
The English soldiers in the barracks did not organize any effective resistance at all.
When Loki roared and led his berserkers into the camp, he was surprised to find that many English soldiers were still sleeping in their beds in pajamas.
Most people ran out of the tent barefoot, and there were quite a few who rushed out of the bed with their butts naked.
"I'm really fucked by the gods! Later generations called this country a corrupt country, and it turns out that the root started from here"
Why Mercia could be bloodbathed from bottom to top by Hummel Blood Pigeon and 500 people, Loki could basically see the general idea from this group of English soldiers who had no sense of crisis.
Sleeping naked during wartime was completely impossible for Vikings.
It was not because they needed to be alert all the time, but because Scandinavia was too cold.
Unless they went into the bathroom to take a bath, most Vikings would never take off their hard leather armor in their lives, and even when they were mating with their spouses, most of them needed to dress neatly.
In many cases in the Middle Ages, colds = death.
In contrast, England
The Seawatch Fortress is the first outpost for defending the homeland. The soldiers in the fortress not only take off their armor and sleep during the war, but also dare to take off their clothes completely!
This kind of fat sheep should not be slaughtered on the spot, so why keep it for the New Year?
The Berserkers rushed into the tents, pulled out their axes and started a bloody massacre!
The Hurricane Berserkers who successfully hunted the "Lightning Wind Serpent" held one or two axes and could easily chop out rising vortices.
Among them, wind and thunder surged!
And the hunters who entered "Muspelheim" (the land of fire) and successfully collected the "Evil Fire Essence" under the hands of the Flame Demon prepared the Flame Berserker Potion!
After entering the combat state, this group of Berserkers who can wield double axes and even spit flames from their mouths are like demons crawling out of hell. Many of the chosen ones from the Holy Bishop saw them and were scared to shit and urinate on the spot.
These new Berserkers who were "produced" in batches according to the ancient formula in the "Book of Saga" have been extinct on this road for hundreds of years.
The reappearance at this time completely refreshed the English soldiers' understanding of the word "nightmare".
**
"Defense! Defense!"
In the camp, the first to organize people for defense were the Crusaders from "Kent County".
This group of troops founded by the "Archbishop of Canterbury" is usually an important force to defend the "Celts" in the north of the archipelago and the "Visigothic Pirates" in the west of the archipelago.
All members of the Crusaders are chosen by God under the "War Path" or "Justice Path", and most of them are experienced warriors. Therefore, in the chaos, the first force to restore order is the Crusaders.
However, in this military camp that accommodates nearly 10,000 people, the number of Crusaders is less than 500.
The reason is still the same old reason.
In joint operations, everyone hopes that others will pay a little more and they will do less. Canter County is located in the edge corner of the 7 countries of the English Isles. This place is a country that remains neutral most of the time.
The "Canterbury Cathedral", which symbolizes the religious power of the English Isles, and the "Archbishop of Canterbury", the highest position of the Holy Bishop, were all born here.
The Crusader "Lewan" is a 40-year-old king knight. He has experienced many painful battles in his life, but he has never encountered a situation like today.
He woke up in the middle of the night and looked around. The Wanghai Fortress had already been engulfed in a sea of fire!
There were burning warships on the sea and fuel floating in the sea!
As for the castle, there was a faint smell of blood burning into charcoal everywhere, as well as almost impenetrable smoke and strong winds!
In the smoke and dust, he occasionally saw three or two giants with huge weapons on their shoulders flashing through the fire and smoke. Each of these giants was more than 5 meters tall. They were hidden in the smoke and dust, like huge gods who fell here from outer space.
"Everyone, don't shoot arrows or attack without permission!"
"Dress up and ride on your horses! Everyone line up in a wedge-shaped assault formation and follow me to charge out!"
"Don't give a damn if those horses are ours!"
"If any Mercian soldier dares to compete with us for horses, leave no one alive and kill them on the spot!"
At this point in the war, Lewand had already seen that the Seawatch Fortress had been completely captured by the Vikings. At this point, he had no time to think about such profound questions as "how did the Vikings cross the sea" and "what does the navy do for food".
It was no use struggling in the fortress. The task he needed to complete now was to lead his 500 crusaders to break through the siege, and then run all the way back to Kent.
The Vikings had landed on the land of the English Isles, and the already loose alliance of the seven countries of the English Isles would instantly become as fragile as an eggshell.
In Lewand's eyes, the Vikings invaded Mercia, and the three countries of East Anglia and Wessex could buy Kent enough buffer time.
Therefore, the top priority now is to lead as many subordinates as possible back to Kent as quickly as possible, use the thick walls of Canterbury to organize a defensive offensive, and protect their real home.
As for staying in Wanghai Fortress to try to save more allies, that is what the Holy Lord Christ should be responsible for.
It is not his turn to worry about it.
"All brothers, remember, everything I have is given to us by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the King of Kent, "Lanshaw"!
"I don't owe anything to "Honest" Elan.
I have no obligation to work for him!
Now we must return to Canterbury alive and contribute to the defense of the "Holy City."
"For the King!"
"For the Archbishop of Canterbury!"
"Go! "
Centurion Lewan's war path has been cultivated to Sequence 5 "Vanguard of Justice". When he charged on horseback, his pure white armor flickered with holy light. The pure white light covered the wedge-shaped impact array behind him, and each soldier holding up the knight's lance turned into a silver spindle.
This is the strongest assault formation of the Crusaders: the Lancer Charge.
The Lancers ran through the burning smoke with an indomitable momentum. When they saw the giant blocking the road ahead, Lewan raised his lance with a firm look.
"Believe in the Holy Lord!"
"Believe in our king! ”
“For the glory of Archbishop Canterbury, charge!”
Just as he shouted half of the word “charge”, Lewan heard a dull sound of friction in the air. Looking back, he saw a tall sea giant in front of him swinging a rough stone that he had picked up from somewhere and hitting him head-on!
The “pioneer of justice” Lewan had no time to brake or turn while running. The hard stone pillar weighing nearly 10 tons hit him hard and threw him and his horse into the air!
“Ah!!”
The sharp sound from his throat The howl was the last scream from Lewandowski.
One man and one horse, two bloody figures, like two miserable paintings, were hung on the nearly 40-meter-high wall of the Seawatch Fortress. When the wedge-shaped charge array lost its arrows, the lancers following behind also quickly collapsed.
Only 10 giants, like kicking a ball, pushed them all into the burning ocean.
When the last Crusader died, a ray of sunlight appeared on the sea in the east.
This long night finally came to an end.
