From the mouths of the dead mountain people, Marcus got information about how many opponents there were.
Then he divided his men into three groups, his own group plus Boer's twenty-five men.
The other forty people were divided into two teams of twenty people each.
Among the two teams, whichever team sets out first, use the fastest speed to explore the path, clear obstacles, and make marks.
After a while, they reduced most of their speed and waited for the second team to catch up. After the two teams mixed, they sent out another third of the soldiers who still had enough physical fitness to continue moving forward.
Marcus' team always maintains a stable speed to minimize physical wear and tear.
At midnight, the three teams met.
At this time, everyone had already left Durham County and entered the territory of Yewe County.
One of the Marcus soldiers was from this county and suggested, "Sir, judging from the time, we are on the road non-stop. It is unlikely that the Vikings have not disappeared yet. I want to climb over this mountain, and there are people not far ahead." In the forest, they're definitely there."
At this time, the night was deep, the moonlight in the sky was weak, and even with a torch, the traveling speed was very slow.
And walking around with a torch, the light may alert the Vikings.
"Is there another way?"
"There is a fork in the road near here. It's a bit difficult to walk, and you have to go into the middle of the mountain. But you can go straight out and into the forest. When the Vikings pass through, beat them up!"
"Okay, let's rest where we are. After a while, when it's not so dark, we'll start setting off."
Marcus left fifty men to defend this place with numerical superiority. After daybreak, let them advance directly to attract the attention of the Vikings.
And he led a dozen people into the forest in advance to ambush, waiting for an opportunity to strike at these demons.
After agreeing on a time, around four o'clock in the morning, Marcus personally led the team into this shortcut.
And this road is not only difficult to walk, it is downright dangerous!
If anything goes wrong, the person walking through it may be thrown out of the air and fall into the valley hundreds of meters deep.
But shortening the distance is also a lot.
In just one hour, a dozen people led by Marcus, relying on their hatred of the Vikings, made no one afraid, and all passed through the dangerous passage.
Anger is the strongest human emotion, and it can bring out your infinite potential!
…
Just after five o'clock in the morning, the light gradually appeared.
The moon and the sun are infinitely close - they never intersect.
As long as one appears completely, the other will be completely swallowed up.
Light and darkness intersect, and the earth enters a special posture.
The dark clouds above were penetrated by the red fire. The dark clouds struggled to resist, but more and more cloud fragments were scattered.
In the forest and grassland below the ground, insects are crawling, birds are flying out of the forest, and the pre-dawn light has arrived.
This group of Vikings had enough to eat and drink yesterday, robbed and killed everyone, and they were not familiar with this territory, so they had no idea of getting up immediately. They just sent people to go nearby to find some water sources and come back, and they would not set off until the light became clearer. .
Alger opened his eyes when the sun first appeared.
He didn't sleep much and would wake up at the slightest disturbance.
He had killed so many people recently that when he closed his eyes, he felt like someone was strangling him around the neck.
Sleep is currently just an act of maintaining life for him and is difficult to enjoy.
And he told himself, there is no need to worry, this is the only way to become a great person!
The experiences of any legendary Viking hero are extraordinary.
As soon as Alger woke up, the big bear also woke up. As leaders, the two of them naturally did not need to fetch water and keep vigil.
"Damn, there are so many bugs in this poor place." Inge spat, stood up and stretched his muscles.
Then he vented his Viking spring water towards a big tree.
"Get away and pee!"
Alger found that Inge was sleepy, so he walked to the tree next to him and took out his crotch!
He was so angry that he almost scraped it out with his sword.
Then he picked up a stone next to him and threw it directly.
If you can't dodge, you will no longer be able to casually abuse women in the world of God.
Inge cursed and left the tree, heading towards another new tree to nourish.
The way the two get along with each other on a daily basis is extremely rude, and the slightest indifference will result in a bloody blow.
But they are each other's only friends now.
Then more and more Vikings got up and behaved in the same way, causing Alger to curse.
He loves cleanliness very much, just like his sword. He has to pull it out and wipe it every day, and he doesn't stop until the light on it can reflect his face.
…
"Let's compare launches."
"What to bet on?"
"Next time if you grab women and gold and silver, this person will enjoy it first, minus the leader."
When several Vikings gathered together to pollute the earth and discuss the evil deeds they would commit next,
Suddenly someone yelled, "Look!"
This group of Vikings, who had been so lazy just now, "put the birds back in their cages" and quickly returned to Alger to report.
Then find a good position and hide against the woods.
Alger saw a group of regular soldiers wearing armor appearing not far away. He was not sure how many people came.
"Do you want to fight? Alger."
"Look again."
As soon as Alger finished speaking to Inge, the group of Marcus' men suddenly pulled out the bows and arrows they carried and shot towards the outside of the woods.
Now Alger knew that these people had discovered him.
Since he was sheltered by obstacles in the forest, Alger did not attack or retreat immediately. He thought he could wait and see.
The appearance of this group of soldiers drew the attention of all the Vikings. They didn't even pay attention to Marcus behind them, and led his men to approach quietly.
When the back of a Viking appeared in front of Boll, she gently took off the bow behind her and breathed quickly.
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to kill more.
The other four soldiers also had their bows fully drawn, waiting for Marcus's eyes.
Marcus was confused when looking at distant objects ten meters away. There was not much difference between night and day.
But because of this special ability, he can use the changing intensity of light to estimate the distance to the enemy while walking.
Marcus shook his head, put down a few bows and arrows, and then quietly moved closer a meter or two. When he felt it, Marcus raised his arm again... and dropped it!
call out……!
When the first bow and arrow shot through the forest, Alger's ears immediately twitched.
He is also a powerful sailor, and his ears and eyes are trained to be extremely sharp in the waves.
You can even hear the water changing direction!
There was a faint vibration in the air, and he suddenly became alert and turned around immediately.
I saw one of his men was shot in the back by an arrow and screamed in pain.
"Someone!"
Twenty-three Viking warriors drew their swords and drew their bows. The Vikings used shields, swords, and bows.
They use any weapon that can kill people.
Two Vikings drew their Viking bows and fought back.
The soldiers outflanking in the forest roared instantly when Marcus drew his weapon, hoping to be heard by his companions outside and destroy this group of Viking demons.
The sound passed through the tree trunks and penetrated into the clouds. The birds hiding in the trees stopped watching the show and flew out one after another.
The fifty people outside also drew their weapons and held their small shields high. Led by a veteran, they launched a charge.
The belief of revenge spurs them on,
Improve your courage with the excitement of bullying the many and the few,
Today I am going to go on a killing spree!
Alger didn’t know how many people came in total.
If you run further outside at this time, there will be no obstacles blocking your path, and your whereabouts will be exposed to the sun, so you choose to go further inward.
"Everyone follow me!"
The Vikings stopped fighting back and dispersed into an umbrella shape. Alger and Inge rushed to the front, cutting through the bloody path in the forest.
A few more bows and arrows were fired, and a Viking fell. However, the forest was not small, and Alger and the others were not willing to fight. With only Marcus and dozens of people, they could make a sneak attack, but they could not stop him from escaping.
The Vikings' feet were amazing, but there were too many obstacles in the forest. Several people tripped and fell while running and had to stop to help.
"I come!"
Facing a group of Catholic soldiers rushing towards him, Alger raised his sword diagonally downward, shaking it slightly, like the waves of sea water.
He can kill people on land, but he is even stronger in the sea!
boast!
A sound like waves rolling up an object came from his sword. When his sword scraped over, the four soldiers felt a chill in their throats one after another...it turned out to be their own blood, and then they fell to the ground touching their necks.
Alger personally broke off the attack, but Yingge didn't abandon him either. The two of them moved in tandem, like a wind and a cloud, knocking down six people in an instant.
"woman?"
At this time, "Bol" who led the six people also came into Alger's sight.
When Bol saw Alger and Inge, he also thought of the tragic woman yesterday.
She quickly drew her bow and aimed at the devil!
She knew that it was difficult for her to compete with men in terms of strength, so she practiced archery and wanted to become a perfect marksman.
"A woman should just lie on the bed and let men insult her!"
This was Big Bear Inge's idea. He raised his Viking sword and gave off a terrifying aura that was no less than Alger's.
"I'm going to bully you as a Viking!" Bol's face turned red - this was anger!
At this moment, even if he died in battle, he had nothing to fear.
Her archery posture has never been so standard, almost perfect, but luck is on Inge's side.
The arrow only missed Inge's shoulder, blocking his steps.
When Inge steadied himself and stared at Bol, ready to take another step and kill her...
Another series of exclamations!
The Vikings who ran out ahead are back.
They had just entered a very open space in the forest with few obstacles.
Because this place was one of the resting places for the forest guards before last night, so all the woods blocking the road were cleared.
But in the middle of the night, these forest guards discovered the Vikings. They were so frightened that they immediately ran away and went back to report to the local knights as soon as possible.
At this time, the open ground that had been repaired was just right for Marcus's sword to be used at will without any obstruction.
He sprang out like a ghost, raised his sword and lowered his hand. Every time he passed someone, he exerted force on his shoulders, but he never looked back.
Alger and Inge killed six people in an instant, but he killed seven people in an instant!
The Vikings who did not go to "Valhalla" were forced back.
Alger and Inge didn't know what was going on, but they expected that there were many people ambushing ahead, so they let Boer go.
They chose a certain forest in front of them and rushed forward without caring about anything else.
The fierce battle lasted only ten minutes, and dozens of people fell in the forest.
In the end, there were only ten people left with Sword Wolf and Big Bear, but they had already shaken off their pursuers and found a stream in the forest. They ran along the stream to an open space - there were two roads ahead, and they didn't know which one to choose. strip?
Inge glanced at Alger, who replied, "No matter which way, if there is no way, we will find a way out."
This is the pride of the Viking warriors and the confidence of Alger.
But a cold voice came from behind the Vikings, and then ten people appeared.
Inge saw the woman just now, and a man with a different armor shape, who was obviously a "knight".
Seeing that the opponent's number was equal to his own, Yingge was not afraid and even uttered obscene words.
"I've slept with men and I've slept with women, but I've never slept with a woman who looked like a man."
The other Vikings laughed and emboldened themselves and agreed.
When Bol was chasing him just now, he tripped over a branch and broke his right arm. It was already difficult to catch up now, but it was difficult to draw the bow and he could only hold the sword with his left arm.
But she still pulled out, she wanted to fight!
"What's wrong?" Alger felt something was wrong. He saw that the men he had brought out were trembling!
"The leader...this man...he...the devil!"
One person said, two people said... In the end, all eight people nodded in agreement.
Inge and Alger held the Viking swords at their waists and prepared for battle.
"He's fast, Chief!"
"Shut up!"
Alger pulled out his sword, still maintaining the horizontal and swaying sword posture just now.
This posture is flexible, and after swinging it, you can switch to your best mid-section sword posture at any time.
His ears were also twitching, trying to identify the sound.
Sometimes the naked eye cannot see things as quickly as the ears can hear them.
Marcus knew that as long as he killed these two people, he would win.
He walked closer slowly, holding the sword at his waist.
"Now there is a favorable wind, and I will speed up from fifteen meters away. When I get within four meters, it will be half a second faster than usual. I only need three swords in one moment, one sword to feint, one sword to the left, one sword to stab, and two If someone falls, I win..."
"You treat me like a dead person!"
Inge saw Marcus walking like this. When Marcus was less than twelve meters away from Alger, he stepped forward first.
The huge Viking sword came and pointed at Marcus's head, trying to beat him into a pulp.
The big bear was tall, and Marcus judged that he was taller than Nanding, whom he had fought against before, so he would be within his sword range very quickly.
He stopped to adjust, his eyes flashed, but he did not retreat.
He lowered his body instantly, his fingers seemed to be dancing, brushing towards the hilt of the sword, and the entire knight's sword was ejected.
"How the hell could it be so fast!"
Inge has never seen this kind of "sword drawing method" before!
When the two bodies are extremely close...
There was a clicking sound, the sound of "bone shifting"!
With a flash of sword light, Yingge felt that his soul was separated from his body!
When he came to his senses, he was half kneeling on the ground.
And Marcus endured the pain...and continued to move forward.
The pain in his shoulder told Inge that this man was ridiculously strong!
Ten meters...nine meters...eight meters.
The sunshine above is about to swallow up the dark clouds.
The earth enters the final darkness before dawn.
"Odin protects me!"
Alger bared his teeth and sneered. The life-threatening pleasure made him unable to stop.
He made a mid-level sword stance, and the light shone through, making faint shadows appear on both the man and the sword.
Inge watched this scene, when Alger performed this move - no one could cross his "sword shadow", not even himself.
But at this moment, he was shaken - he didn't know how Alger could defeat this knight?
At a distance of eight meters, Marcus raised his sword, stepped forward with one foot, and stepped back with one foot. He lowered his body and pressed his feet against the ground. He mobilized the strength of every inch of his muscles.
Click!
Another sound of bone shifting!
Alger heard it...he knew what the sound was, because his own bones were about to break.
No matter how strong a warrior is, he cannot bear such a high-intensity battle. After this fight, he will have to lie down for at least two months.
brush!
The two drew their swords at the same time.
Alger is like an "arrow from the bow", but Marcus is like a "shooting star".
Faster, stronger, and fiercer!
bump!
Alger resisted Marcus's first sword in the middle, and just when he was about to get the perfect assassination distance, Marcus instantly pressed his body against him, entangled the two swords, and then he used more force to knock Alger away.
Just after a breath, three sword winds blew past Jianlang's face. Finally Jianlang was hit by a sword, and he took dozens of steps back in pain before he recovered.
He could only insert his Viking sword into the ground and barely stabilize his body.
Alger was half-kneeling, holding the sword, sweating profusely, with several broken bones, blood all over his upper body, and his body almost collapsed.
But he smiled, because Marcus was more seriously injured. Each of the three sword winds just now entered his ears accompanied by the sound of "bone breaking".
This man's body has been overloaded, he is useless, he is useless!
Marcus also took a few dozen steps back at this time, using the same posture as Alger to support his body from falling.
Killing so many Vikings and defeating Inge made his body overtaxed and his consciousness gradually became unclear.
Alger clenched the Viking sword awarded to him by "King Ragnar" and laughed wildly.
As soon as he laughed, the dark clouds that were about to disappear actually stopped dispersing!
"Among the opponents I have faced, no one is better than you. What a pity."
"So do you. When it comes to swordsmanship alone... I would like to call you the strongest!"
Hearing such an unpleasant laughter, Marcus endured the great pain and raised his sword again, no matter how many bones in his body had to be broken.
"You!" Alger felt scared for the first time in a fight!
None of the other Vikings expected that it was too late to help. Alger used his last strength to pull out the sword on the ground and held it straight in front of his face.
boom!
When the two swords collided, sparks were stirred up... Alger flew backwards with his sword in hand!
After the sword was swung, the sky surged, and the light of dawn finally broke through the dark clouds and entered the earth. In the end, there was only one color left in the sky - dawn!
Before Marcus fell, he heard the sound of fierce fighting...but it was none of his business anymore...
…
…
When Marcus opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a carriage, with the sounds of soldiers outside, and Boll beside him.
"You finally woke up!"
"Where to go?"
"Go home, we will uphold your will, the team will rendezvous, and kill everyone before the sun goes down!"
"Those two..."
"Forced by us to jump down the valley, he has probably returned to 'Valhalla' to reunite..."
Three days later, it was the eve of everyone's return to the castle.
In the carriage, Bol said while changing the dressing, "Today, I gave you a nickname and told the soldiers, do you want to listen?"
For Marcus, nicknames are just unpleasant names used to intimidate others, such as "Boneless Man" and "Snake Eyes", which he is not very interested in.
But after a while, I curiously asked, “What to take?
"I said when you draw your sword, break the black sky and fill the earth with light."
"so?"
"dawn!"
"so so."
Marcus only recited this name seventeen or eighteen times in his mind, and then fell asleep due to fatigue due to the wound, but with the corners of his mouth raised.
…
…
"Sword of Dawn"
This nickname followed him all his life.
