Ella and Amy hurried under the city wall. Alfred's archers and Upland's surrender were nervously awaiting the results of the assassination.
"The plan has been exposed. Rurik delayed Ragnar, we must deal with Ragnar's troops before that happens!"
Ella explained the current situation in concise language, and then ordered: "Act as planned and set fire to Upland City!"
The troops who had returned with Ragnar were singing their victory over Hestein in the square. They were drunk when they suddenly saw a meteor falling into the house where Ragna was sitting, and then saw several lightning bolts striking the house from the sky, setting the house on fire, and they hurriedly ran there. past. Then they ran halfway, and another fire appeared in the east direction of Upland.
A soldier who had been stationed in Upland ran over and shouted: "East of the city! An enemy suddenly appeared in the east of the city!"
So Ragnar's troops separated part of their forces and ran towards the east of the city. But not long after, fire appeared again in the north of Upland.
Another soldier who had been stationed in Upland ran over and shouted: "North of the city! Enemies have also appeared in the north of the city!"
So Ragnar's troops detached another part and rushed to the north of the city for support. But after a while, a raging fire also broke out in the west of the city. Another soldier stationed in Upland ran over in a panic and shouted: "South of the city! The enemy's main attack direction is in the south of the city! There are a large number of enemies there!"
In fact, Ella deployed almost all of her forces south of the city. Ragnar's troops originally had a huge advantage in numbers, but they were split into three parts.
The enemy troops who ran to the south of the city were hit by a hail of arrows before they had time to find where the enemy was. The archers Alfred left behind were shooting down the enemies from high on the city wall. At first, Ragnar's troops prepared to approach the city wall with shields, but after their comrades around them were shot one after another, they had to use the house as a bunker and hide.
"Hurry and get someone to come over for support!" the leader ordered.
However, when the soldiers who sent the message found friendly troops, the people arranged by Ella also arrived at the same time. They told tearfully how tough resistance they encountered in the northeast direction of the city and asked for support from friendly forces. Under the interference of this continuous false report, Ragnar's entire army fell into great confusion. They didn't know how many enemies there were or where they were. They only saw that the fire in Upland was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more places on fire.
After Ragnar's troops were almost dispersed, Ayla had Ragnar's flag flying in the square set ablaze - a signal for Upland's troops to surrender. Seeing the flag lit, the Upland troops finally turned against Ragnar's troops!
The first to be attacked was the wave of men facing Ayla's archers. When they saw Upland's surrender troops running toward them, they thought they were friendly troops coming to help them, so they turned their backs to them with confidence, but they were caught off guard. Then, Upland's surrender troops began to attack Ragnar's troops one by one in blocks. As soon as they encountered the enemy, they would first throw torches and set fire to prevent the enemy from fighting, and then drive the enemy towards the west of the city - that was the only safe place without fire.
Of course, there was Alfred's ambush there. However, for ordinary soldiers, it is absolutely safe to escape from there. Alfred can spare a hundred people, and he can spare a thousand people. He will only announce the attack at one point in time - that is when Ragnar appears.
Ella stood on the city wall. From here, she could clearly see the crowds of people densely packed like ants, swarming towards the west of the city. The war situation was decided, and she began to think about longer-term issues - she witnessed the city of Uppland being burned down by the Uppland people themselves, just because Alfred gave them the promise of land.
This made her think about the future of the entire northern tribe.
However, at this moment, a meteor suddenly fell from the sky and hit the west of the city impartially. After a burst of smoke, the enemy troops fleeing to the west of the city saw a spear thrust into the ground directly in front of the city gate - it was the eternal spear, Gangnir!
The sudden appearance of this gun caused Ragnar's troops to stop escaping.
In the distance, the tall old man with white beard was walking towards them. His heavy footsteps made the soldiers' hearts calm. Ragnar passed through the crowd, pulled up Gangnir, pointed to the sky, and then shouted:
"Odin has given protection to all you warriors! In the name of the undefeated Odin, kill all enemies!"
Gangnir turned into countless fluorescent lights and rose to the sky, then fell among the crowd. In an instant, Ragna's troops roared violently like wild beasts one after another!
Upon hearing that voice, Upland's surrendered troops all changed their expressions. And Ella and Amy have already guessed a little bit. They had heard a similar sound - it was the roar of Hestein when he transformed into a berserker after Antilia fell into despair!
There was no drinking of potion, no self-mutilation, no chanting, and no one's heart exploded due to unbearable endurance. But at the moment when the fluorescence fell, Odin's protection affected all of Ragnar's subordinates, making them all incarnate. Become a fierce and powerful berserker!
Five thousand berserkers! That's why Rurik said to keep Ragnar out of his forces! This is why Hestein failed despite the huge numerical advantage! This is why Ragnar is invincible!
The five thousand bloodthirsty beasts stared at Upland with their brutal eyes. An arrow was shot at them, and they caught it easily with their hands. An ax struck at them, and they kicked the owner of the ax ten meters away. They dare to walk through the fire, they dare to charge towards the enemy group alone, they will not be afraid, they will not run away, they only want to tear the enemy apart!
Uppland's soldiers began to kneel down and surrender. However, they did not accept surrender. Those furious soldiers now only have the desire to tear their bodies apart. Not content with tearing apart Upland's soldiers, they used their instincts to break into houses one after another and chop all the women, old men and children inside into pieces.
Ella and Alfred's archers were facing twenty berserkers. They had shot no less than two hundred arrows at the twenty people from the city wall, but those arrows were either dodged with tilted heads, or caught with bare hands, and some were even split in half by axes.
Amy tried to use Aphrodite's protection again and again, but the furious soldiers were not affected at all. She turned to look at Ella - she was shouting like crazy on the wall: "Cum! Shoot! Cum for me! They are about to go up the wall!"
——This must be the first time she has felt the taste of failure.
Amy held her cheeks from both sides with a snap, pressed her forehead against hers, stared at the frightened face and said: "Your Majesty, we have failed, let's implement the second plan! "
