At a glance, three dragon-headed Viking warships were sailing on the endless blue waves. If the sun wasn't moving above his head, Su Chen might have thought that he hadn't moved at all. But at this moment, a dragon-headed Viking warship sailed on it. The ship passed them side by side. It was Vargas' ship. He stepped on the dragon's head with one foot, facing the sea breeze, put the sword on his shoulder, and smiled provocatively at Su Chen.
"What the hell, do you want to race a dragon boat?" Su Chen couldn't help but get angry. Anyway, he was very bored now. Just when Vargas issued a challenge, Su Chen shouted to the Norse warriors paddling, "Not to be outdone. Row quickly to pass them."
Su Chen picked up the horn in front of the dragon's head, puffed up his cheeks and blew it hard. The dull horn sounded, inspiring the Norse warriors rowing the boat. The Nordic warriors were competitive by nature. When they heard the horn sound, they gritted their teeth. , started paddling harder, and suddenly on the calm sea, two dragon-headed boats started to compete with each other.
"Dong, dong, dong~~~." The drummers at the stern also beat the drums desperately, and the sound of the drums spread on the sea.
As they were heading towards Gotland, Visbijjar, the ruler of Gotland, unknown to Stern, one of his raiding parties had just returned from the East Saxons and brought Most of his rich trophies were gold and silver sacred vessels in the church.
"Yes, but next time we should go further." Stern picked up a heavy silver candlestick and weighed it with satisfaction. After these things were melted into silver nuggets, his island became increasingly rich.
"However, the Saxon territory has been threatened by the Boneless Men and the White Shirts. Even if we search desperately, we can only get some of the remaining things." Stern's warrior Hausstein said in a dissatisfied voice. Said Qi.
"You also know the reputation of the Boneless Men and White Shirts. How can we compare with them? It is our honor to participate in their actions." However, Stern did not take it seriously. He knew very well that in the world of Vikings, Among them, the famous Ragnar's son Boneless or White Shirt are above him in status, and it is enough to get some leftovers from their hands.
"Lord, I still want to remind you that this wealth may arouse the jealousy of others, and we should strictly guard against it." The thick brown beard on Hausstein's lips trembled, and he knew very well the virtues of the Northmen. , they even did not hesitate to rob territories of the same culture and species for the sake of wealth.
"You're right." Stern pondered for a moment and put the silverware into the wooden box, which was already full of silver coins and gold and silverware.
"My people heard some rumors from businessmen. It is said that someone in Ulanpu seems to be very interested in our territory." Haostein said to Stern with a straight face.
"Ulanpu?" Stern touched the beard on his chin and frowned slightly. He didn't seem to be an enemy of that man, but in order to protect his territory, he would pick up an ax when necessary. fighting.
But Stern never expected that this day would come so quickly. The ship of Su Chen and others had already sailed quickly to the vicinity of Gotland Island. On the floating sea, they saw an oval-shaped island appearing in front of them. , but there were no people up there, just dense woods.
"Are you here?" Su Chen turned around and asked Ange curiously.
"This is an outlying island outside Fowler's territory, but we are almost close. Let the soldiers take a rest." Ange crossed the deck and walked to the front of the dragon head ship. She put her hands above her eyes and looked over. Later he explained to Su Chen.
"Fuller's collar." Su Chen's eyes followed Ange as he looked over. Sure enough, not far from the island, a gray coastline appeared.
"We will rest on this outlying island and launch a raid at dawn tomorrow." Ange grabbed the cable, turned around and said to the North warriors behind him.
"Good idea." Su Chen nodded slightly. Of course they couldn't fight tiredly, and this outlying island just became their springboard base.
The three dragon-headed ships headed towards the outlying island almost in unison. It seemed that these raid veterans knew how to fight in the best condition.
"Ping." Pushed by the waves, the keel of the dragon-head ship plunged into the soft sand on the shore. Then Suchen, Ange and several North warriors jumped from the ship, and the cold and biting sea water instantly filled them. It got into their shoes, but without thinking about it, Su Chen grabbed a thick linen rope on the dragon's head boat and dragged the boat to the shore. Others also jumped off the boat in a hurry, and they pushed the dragon's head. The boat pushed it directly to the shore.
"Huh." Su Chen exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and then looked at the island in front of him. It was a very small island, but the dense woods could hide their whereabouts.
"We'll camp here tonight." Ange took off the buckler he was carrying, stuck it on the ground, and said loudly.
"Roar~~." The North warriors responded with shouts. They immediately started to get busy. Some took down the tents made of animal skins on the ship, some picked up axes and went into the woods to cut down, and some The person picked up the skin bag and poured water into his mouth.
"As long as no one discovers us tonight, we will be able to successfully raid Fowler Territory tomorrow. There should be a lot of food and water in the villages there." Vargas shook his hands, and the sea water wet his sleeves. , but he was more concerned about another thing, that is, Ange did not board his ship, which was why he provoked Su Chen.
"But our target is not Fowler, but Visby." Ange ignored him, picked up a dead branch, drew a circle, and then marked the locations of Fowler and Visby.
"What, Visby, it's impossible. There is a fence there, and Visbyar's army is also stationed there. It's impossible for us to win." Vargas frowned. He thought the woman in front of him must be crazy. Actually thinking of attacking Visbijjar's residence.
"Then do you think it's enough for us to just attack one Fowler's village?" Ange snorted coldly and looked at Levages with disdain.
"Of course not, we can still attack here." Vargas stabbed the picture drawn by Ange with his hand, and a hole was poked in the soft sand. "Boers, there is also a village there, Without fortification, it is easier to succeed."
"It's too late. When we attack Fowler, Visbiar will find out and he will immediately send troops to stop us." Ange shook his head. She was not optimistic about Vargas's plan at all. They either Completely defeat the army sent by Visbiar, or leave with one blow.
Su Chen silently listened to the argument between the two. It was his first time to participate in such a surprise battle. Vargas and Ange were both experienced warriors and they knew the local situation better. Su Chen did not feel that because If you have advanced knowledge, you can make it effective immediately.
However, after listening to the argument between the two for a long time, he couldn't help but speak out.
"Actually, our goal is to plunder, not to occupy, right?" Su Chen thought for a while and said to the two of them.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Vargas said scornfully.
"Thank you for your wise words. At least I don't have to continue reasoning with this pig head." Ange said without caring.
"But the Visby army will be an obstacle to us, am I understanding correctly?" Su Chen touched his chin and continued to speak to the two of them.
"I don't want to repeat it again," Vargas said with a smile.
"Then I have a plan, please listen to it." Su Chen nodded slightly and said to the two of them.
"Is it another story now?" Vargas waved his hand impatiently, turned his head and prepared to leave.
"I want to hear it." Ange didn't care, and sat cross-legged on the soft sand. The bonfire was lit, and the warm temperature made the body soaked by the sea feel much better.
"Okay, then let me tell you about my plan." Su Chen pointed to the location of Fowler Village with his hand and said to Ange, but at the same time he also said it to Vargas who was standing aside, because this The three of them must work together to make the plan successful.
