The sea is so vast, but it seems like it can't hide anything. Soon Ulf and the East Frisian fleet saw each other, and they discovered each other almost at the same time.
"It's the enemy." Conrad put his hand over his eyes and saw the oncoming longship fleet, with the wolf's head flag flying above.
"They actually took the initiative to attack, are they crazy?" the Earl of East Friesland said in surprise. He had thought about how Ulf might fight, and even imagined how to deal with it if the opponent discovered his landing point, but there was no way Unexpectedly, the other party dared to use four longships to deal with ten of his longships.
"Is this suicide?" Conrad said in disbelief. There was no place to escape on the sea. How could such a small number of ships dare to face the Earl of East Friesland?
"Raise the flag and prepare to fight." But the Earl of East Friesland didn't think much about it, he immediately ordered.
A red flag was raised on the mast. People on the other longboats saw it and immediately understood that the count had ordered an attack on Ulf's fleet. However, due to the headwind, they could only fold the sails and start paddling manually. The way of the oars is coming towards Ulf's fleet.
"They are coming." Ulf stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the East Frisian fleet rushing towards them, and said to Verside and others.
"Blow the drums, sound the horns, let's have a big fight." Vargas raised his axe, took off the buckler hanging on the side of the ship's string, and shouted to everyone.
"Oh oh oh~~~." The Norse warriors let out a Viking war cry in unison, and the dull sound of horns and drums began to sound. Driven by the wind, the longship moved very quickly.
"Crossbow ready." Ulf did not immediately engage in a ship-jumping battle with the Earl of East Friesland. He ordered the craftsmen to reveal the large crossbows covered with linen, and at the same time directed the fleet to aim horizontally at the rushing ship. The fleet of the Count of East Friesland.
"What are they doing?" Earl of East Friesland frowned. He didn't understand that the other party was riding the wind and rushing towards him just now, but suddenly turned away from him, and an arc was drawn on the calm sea.
"Whoosh~~." A crossbow missed and shot at the longship of the Earl of East Friesland. The arrow penetrated the side of the longship at once, sawdust flew, and the soldier who was hit screamed and was crucified alive. In the paddling position.
"What is that?" The Earl of East Friesland was shocked. He did not expect that the other party actually had a weird weapon that could shoot such a long distance.
"Rocket preparation." But Ulf did not give them a chance to react. As soon as he waved the iron sword in his hand, the warriors on the longboat immediately took out arrows. Each of these arrows was tied with oil and soaked in grease. linen cloth, then a warrior picked up the torch stuck in the bow, and everyone lit the arrows.
"Crunch." The North warriors opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the East Frisian fleet rowing towards them against the wind.
"Fire." Ulf waved the sword in his hand, and under his command, all the archers fired the fire arrows in their hands.
"Hoo~~." The rocket shot at the Earl of East Friesland's longship, and the flames made a whirring sound on the sea. The Earl of East Friesland was shocked when he saw this scene. He did not expect that the other party would actually shoot with a rocket. The hull of the longship is made of dry wood, and the sail is made of linen that is easy to burn. Once it catches fire, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Put them out." Conrad immediately pushed the rowing soldiers and ordered them to use seawater and thick cloth to extinguish the flames. However, a new wave of rockets came over, leaving the fire extinguishers overwhelmed.
"Archers, fight back." The Earl of East Friesland held his iron sword tightly and ordered loudly, trying his best to spread his order on the sea. Other longships heard his order and hurriedly organized archers.
"Whoosh whoosh~~." The arrows were shot from the longship of the Earl of East Friesland towards Ulf's fleet. The arrows flew in the air like locusts and pounced on the heads of Ulf and others.
"Shield." Ulf immediately took off his shield and covered it on the side of the ship. Others also picked up their shields one after another.
"Doo doo doo~~." There was a muffled sound, and the arrow hit the shield, but this kind of arrow without flames did little damage to the longship. As long as the warriors on the longship protected themselves with shields, there would be no damage at all. How much damage.
"Damn it." The Earl of East Friesland almost gritted his teeth. He did not bring a fire arrow, a weapon suitable for naval battles. In addition, the sailing speed was very slow because of the headwind, and the situation was very bad.
"Shoot~~."
"Shoot~~." Ulf took advantage of the favorable wind and led his fleet to continuously shoot at the fleet of the Earl of East Friesland.
"Ah~~." Soon a longship belonging to the Earl of East Friesland caught fire, and the soldiers on board jumped into the sea one after another. Other longships rushed to help, but Ulf's crossbow was aimed at a longship. The ship suddenly fired a heavy crossbow. This heavy crossbow hit the port side of the long ship and overturned the narrow long ship. The soldiers on it fell into the water like dumplings.
"Paddle me, paddle hard." The Earl of East Friesland was angry. He picked up his iron sword and beat the oarsman hard with the back of the sword.
"Wow, wow~~." In the angry urging of the Earl of East Friesland, the soldiers rowed desperately, and the wood pulp slapped the sea surface, causing the longship to approach the ship of Ulf and others, knowing that they could not The Earl of East Friesland, who had gained an advantage in long-range naval battles, decided to eliminate Ulf by jumping ship gangs. After all, he had more ships and more people.
"Get out of the way." Wayside sat on the bow. He sniffed, as if smelling the direction of the sea breeze. With his order, Ulf's longship quickly began to avoid East Friesland. Earl, like flying a kite with constant shooting.
"Doo Dou~~." Conrad picked up the buckler and covered it over the head of the Earl of East Friesland. The arrow penetrated the buckler, and the sharp arrow almost hit Conrad's wrist.
"I must kill these bastards with my own hands." Seeing his ship being burned by the flames and his soldiers falling into the water, the Earl of East Friesland was extremely angry. The hand he held the sword with too much force turned the back of his hand into a white.
"Ahhhh~~." Waldhel hugged his head tightly. He looked at the whizzing arrows and the swaying sea next to him and regretted why he had to come to such a terrifying place.
"Pfft~~, oh~~." A rowing warrior sitting in front of Wadheer was very unlucky. He was shot in the neck by a stray arrow. The arrow penetrated his throat and blood spurted out onto the Wadhere. The look on Dehel's face made him scream even more frightened, and the ax Sigrid gave him was thrown aside.
"Shh~." Suddenly, a pair of leather-booted feet appeared in front of Wadher. Sigrid was seen holding a buckler in one hand, picking up an ax with the other, and gave it to the curled-up Wadher. She winked at Waldheer and made a silent gesture.
"Huh?" Waldhel looked at the girl in front of him. He couldn't understand why Sigrid could face such a terrifying scene without fear, but when she stood on the swaying longboat, holding a round shield, , wearing leather armor with an indifferent expression, surrounded by the beautiful blue sea, this situation has a breathtaking beauty, just like the ancient Greek goddess of war described in his uncle's book.
"Ping~~." While Waldhel was attracted by Sigrid's beauty, he suddenly forgot about the terrifying fit on the battlefield, and their ship's hull suddenly shook.
"Be careful, the wind direction has changed." Verside, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, suddenly said.
"Hoo, ho~~." The wind in the sea is always unpredictable. It was a favorable wind just now, but in an instant Ulf and others turned into a headwind, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and the clear sky began to change. The clouds were gathering.
"Hahahaha, Frigga is protecting us, attack." The Earl of East Friesland saw this scene and shouted excitedly to his warriors. They thought this was Frigga, one of the main gods of Northern Europe, protecting them. .
"Open the sails." Conrad immediately ordered, and the unfolded sails immediately inflated, carrying the longship quickly towards Ulf's fleet.
"Vargos is ready to fight." Ulf raised his head and looked at the sky. The salty and humid air could almost squeeze out water. He knew that his luck had run out, but he would not give up because of this. He shouted loudly towards Vagos. Gus yelled.
"I know, I know." Vargas put his helmet on his head, raised his buckler and axe, and stared at the long ship of East Friesland, which was quickly approaching.
"Visad, help us find their earl." Ulf ordered Visad, and then ordered the longships to fight.
"Ping~~." Soon the two long ships collided with each other. The warriors on both sides stood on the ship were shaken, but they quickly regained their balance.
"Whoaaah~~Odin."
"Fight for Frigga."
The warriors on both sides shouted the gods they believed in and started a close battle on the long boat. The brave warriors stepped on the ship's side sticks and stabbed the enemy with their swords and spears. Suddenly, the sound of metal collisions sounded on the sea.
"Oh oh oh~." Vargas raised the ax in his hand and slashed the head of a person who was trying to step over, knocking him directly into the sea, and then hit the other person with the round shield on his finger. An enemy jumped on board, and blood quickly flowed on the deck at his feet.
"Huh." Ulf picked up a javelin. He wore an iron helmet and threw it towards the enemy approaching the longship. The javelin stabbed an enemy who was grabbing the rope.
"Kill them, quickly~~." Count East Friesland grabbed the warriors beside him and pushed them forward. He did not believe that so many of his warriors would actually lose to a pirate like Ulf, but He forgot that on the sea, no matter how many people there are, they still need to show their full potential.
"My lord, the earl must surround them." Conrad discovered this keenly, and he immediately suggested to the earl of East Friesland.
"Okay, give the order to go down immediately." The Earl of East Friesland nodded and ordered.
The longships of the Earl of East Friesland began to attempt to disperse and surround Ulf and others from the sides and back. Even though they had lost three longships, they still had more people than Ulf and others.
"Huh?" Wayside was on the longboat, his eyes searching among the crowds and ships, but soon he discovered the longboat where the Earl of East Friesland was, and immediately came to Ulf.
"Ahhhh~~." Ulf was raising the sword in his hand and pointed it at an enemy who was trying to climb onto the long boat from the sea. His sword slashed hard and chopped off the opponent's ten fingers. The enemy Letting out a miserable howl, ten fingers jumped and landed on the deck.
"Lord, I found their count." Vissey pointed to a longship and said to Ulf.
"Oh." Ulf raised the bloody iron sword and squinted his eyes. Sure enough, he saw the Earl of East Friesland, who was dressed differently and in a different manner. There was a long ship between them.
"Vargos, Luther, Ange, Sigrid." Ulf took a breath and called the names of his companions loudly.
"Ping, ping ping~~." Ange carried a long sword and shield and fought among the crowd. Her silver hair was beating in the fight. No wonder the soldiers called Ange the silver-haired Valkyrie.
"Hmm." After hearing Ulf's call, Ange stopped fighting. She wiped her cheek with the back of her hand, which was splattered with the enemy's blood.
"Ulf, what's the matter? Didn't you see that I was busy?" Vargas knocked an enemy blocking the way into the water, kicked the enemy over, and hit him with an axe. , completely ignoring the wailing of the enemy, asked Ulf.
"Cover me, I'm going to kill the enemy leader." Ulf pointed to the location of the Earl of East Friesland and said to everyone.
"I know, but how are you going to get there?" Vargas nodded instinctively, and then asked in confusion.
"Luthor, throw us over..." Ulf looked around. The Earl of East Friesland's ship had begun to try to encircle them. If the encirclement was completed, they would probably become a trap.
"Throw it over? Are you crazy?" Vargas said to Ulf with his eyes widened.
"Yes, throw me over." Ulf also felt that his plan was crazy, but he was indeed going crazy now. If they could not defeat the Earl of East Friesland, then they would be defeated.
"I know." Luther nodded. He probably didn't think too much. He was tall and lifted Ulf up. Then, with Ange and others using shields to cover it, he attacked The ships of the Count of East Friesland were ordered.
"I am indeed crazy." When Luther lifted Ulf up, Ulf looked at the heads on the longboat in the distance and the weapons in their hands, and couldn't help but regretted it, while the sea was all around. .
