In the early morning, the sky was still white, but the children in Fuller Village had already gotten up early. In this difficult era, the children of the Norse did not have the privilege of sleeping in. They had to feed livestock and collect firewood.
"Ahem." A little boy with blond hair, whose face was red from the cold, was holding a bucket and was about to fetch some water from the pond outside the village. But when he came outside the village, he found that there seemed to be something in the mist. Something was approaching, which puzzled him, so he walked forward cautiously. The cold air made him cough a few times.
"Ugh." But when the early morning mist dissipated, he saw a group of strange Nusi people appeared in front of him. They were carrying bucklers and twisting axes in their hands. This sudden scene made him stunned.
A big hand covered the little boy's mouth that was about to scream, and grabbed him in his arms, making it impossible for the little boy to move. Su Chen quickly stepped forward, stuffed the little boy's mouth with the prepared cloth, and stopped him. Killed the North warrior who was about to break the little boy's neck.
"Don't make a sound, we won't hurt you." Su Chen whispered to the frightened little boy, and the little boy nodded in fear. Su Chen reached out and slowly took off the cloth from the little boy's mouth and pointed at him. Smiling, the ignorant little boy relaxed his vigilance.
"Have everyone woke up in the village?" Su Chen asked the little boy.
"Yeah." Maybe it was because Su Chen was acting more friendly, but the little boy hesitated and nodded.
"Here you go." Su Chen took out a piece of honey barley bread made for him by Parhaena. The little boy smelled the tempting fragrance and couldn't help but licked his lips. He is most prone to hunger at this age. At that time, there could be such temptation.
"What is he doing?" Vargas, who had been beside him, became impatient. He thought Suchen was wasting time, but Ange stopped him.
"Are all the adults here? We are businessmen and want to do business with them." Su Chen bent down and said kindly to the little boy.
"Some people went to Visby, and the Lord summoned them." The little boy said to Suchen while eating honey barley bread.
"We won't hurt you." Su Chen patted his head. There was no mercy in this era, but at least he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. This was the bottom line Su Chen set for himself.
"Take him away, he is my slave, don't let anyone hurt him." Su Chen waved his hand and asked someone to take the little boy away. Normally, these captured children would be sold as slaves, but what happened? Only the gods know whether he will be sold to a rich place or a poorer place, but Su Chen at least hopes to save the one in front of him.
"It seems they don't have enough manpower." At this time, Vargas finally understood Su Chen's intention. He grinned and weighed the ax in his hand, full of joy.
"That's right." Su Chen was not as happy as he was. After all, they were invaders and wanted to destroy other people's homes.
"Let's go." Ange waved his hand and led the North warriors toward Fowler Village in the mist. At this time, some people began to yawn and walk out the door.
"Ah!" The people in Fowler's village were shocked when they suddenly saw the North soldiers appearing in front of them, and the woman screamed and closed the door.
"Pfft~~." Vargas saw a man holding a short-handled ax and rushing towards him. He dodged the ax attack without saying a word, raised the ax in his hand and struck him on the head. , chopped the man to the ground.
"Ping." The other North soldiers also kicked open the doors of the houses along the way without politeness. These doors made of thin wooden boards instantly shattered into half, fell to the ground, and then lifted The North warrior holding an ax bent down and walked in. Suddenly the screams of women and children came from the house.
Then the screaming women and children were held by the North warriors and walked out one by one. The women and children were trophies and would be plundered and turned into goods, but not all women would choose to become prisoners of war. Some of the shields from Fuller Village The woman took up arms and resisted heroically.
"Whoosh~~." The arrow shot from above. Su Chen hurriedly raised his buckler, and the arrow pierced the shield with a ping. Su Chen took the opportunity to look over from the side of the buckler, and saw Several of Fowler's shieldmaidens were standing on the roof, drawing Viking longbows and shooting at them.
"Hold the shield." Ange handed her round shield to Su Chen beside her. She took out the ax from her waist, stared at the shield girls on the roof with her cold blue eyes, and then raised her hand to aim at them. , and threw the ax violently.
"Whoosh, puff~~." The ax hit a shield girl in the chest. The shield girl rolled down from the roof with a groan. The other shield girls looked blank. At this moment, those holding bows and arrows The North warriors aimed at them, and after several rounds of shooting, the shield maidens who had occupied the commanding heights were cleared from the roof.
"Go to the center of the village." Vargas said to Su Chen and others, carrying his ax.
They walked all the way towards the center of the village. Along the way, soldiers from Fowler Village in twos and threes tried to stop them, but they were all chopped down to the ground by the North soldiers with an absolute advantage, and blood flowed on the paths of the village.
When they arrived at the center of the village, they saw many women and children gathered in a warehouse. Usually when danger came, the warehouse made of stones became the last fortress, but it was only a matter of time before they were captured.
"That." Su Chen glanced around and saw a thick tree trunk outside the warehouse. He pointed at the trunk, and several strong North soldiers immediately lifted the trunk.
"Ping~."
"Ping~~."
"Ping~~."
The old, weak, women and children in the warehouse looked at the door that was shaken and dust fell one after another. The sound of the impact was like a knock on their hearts. The timid ones had already hugged their families tightly.
"Boom~~." In the end, the relatively strong door was knocked down, and Vargas and others appeared at the door. They looked at the frightened women and children inside and rushed in like a tiger. Like a flock of sheep, screams resounded in the warehouse.
"Gray Law~~." Just as the North warriors were arresting the slaves, Suchen and Ange heard a horse neighing, and saw a Fowler man wearing a fur cloak running wildly on his horse in panic. , it is obvious that he is the lord of this place, and he is abandoning his subjects and fleeing alone.
"Crunch." A North warrior immediately raised his hand and aimed the bow and arrow at Lord Fowler's back, but Su Chen stretched out his hand to hold his bow and arrow, which puzzled the others.
"Let him go." Su Chen looked coldly at the place where the lord escaped. A lord who could not protect his territory was almost dead, not to mention that he still had a task for this timid lord.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu” Go, and those who cannot be taken away will be slaughtered on the spot.
"What to do now?" Vargas, Ange and Suchen sat in the lord's house. They ate the food they found in the house, and Vargas was very curious about the next plan.
"Eat and drink enough, burn down the village, and then find a place to ambush them." Su Chen said calmly, and picked up a piece of bacon and bit into it. He also drank the ale stored in the lord's cellar unceremoniously. got up.
"Look what we found?" At this time, several North soldiers came over carrying a wooden box. After opening the wooden box, they saw that it was full of amber, turquoise and two bags of silver coins.
"The harvest is quite fruitful." Su Chen smiled and said to the two of them.
"But then we have to face the wrath of Visbiar." Vargas smiled and touched his braided beard. He did not expect that Gotland was so wealthy. It seems that Visbiar I was planning to build a port here, but I didn't expect that they would miss me.
"It just so happens that I long for a war that will allow me to enter the Valhalla Temple." Ange said nonchalantly.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry to enter Valhalla, we haven't had enough adventure yet." Suchen threw down the half-eaten bacon, drank the remaining half of the ale, and wiped his mouth before saying.
The flames began to spread in the village, and the thick smoke rose straight into the sky. There was no need for Fowler's lord to report to Visbyar. Visbyar, who was standing on the wooden wall, had already seen it, and his eyes were filled with tears. It was anger, and his fists were clenched with veins popping out.
"I will punish them with the blood eagle." Visbiar cursed fiercely.
