Ulf knew that to counter the Raven Banner, another weapon that would boost the soldiers' confidence was necessary.
In his mind, various weapons from Nordic mythology kept passing through, and the spear was of course the first choice. According to legend, the spear used by Odin, the father of the Nordic gods, was the spear of victory, which could accurately destroy everything in the world. enemy.
But the reputation of this spear is too great. If it is used, it will probably make people laugh.
So, what about bows and arrows?
Although the bow and arrow are good, they are too ordinary and unrecognizable.
At this moment, a weapon appeared in Ulf's mind. , as if receiving some kind of sign, thunder sounded in the sky at the same time.
He already knew what kind of weapon he should choose, and the rest was relatively simple. He only needed to find a good blacksmith and a group of partners who could help him realize the forging of this weapon.
And he happened to have both of these things. Although the Vikings had a bad reputation, they were indeed very good craftsmen and blacksmiths. It was easy to find a skilled blacksmith among the Nordics.
Vargas volunteered to take on the role of the forger, but Ulf ultimately chose Luther, because in his opinion Luther, a single-minded man, was more suitable for forging weapons.
Then, Ulf found a piece of parchment and drew the appearance of the weapon on it so that he could use it to make a casting mold.
When Ange and others' eyes fell on the parchment, they couldn't help but look at each other, because this thing is really a hammer that anyone familiar with Nordic mythology will understand.
Vargas looked very surprised and said to Ulf: "You don't want to make a Thor's hammer, do you?"
"Yes, I want to forge a Thor's hammer."
"Oh no." Vargas covered his face with his hands, looking desperate.
And Ange couldn't help but curl his lips and glanced at Luther next to him.
Luther held the forging tool tightly with a confused look on his face. He didn't seem to understand why Ulf insisted on forging Thor's hammer.
Thor's hammer occupies a great deal of importance in Norse mythology. Thor, the god of thunder, used this object to kill many frost giants who attempted to attack the divine domain. Many frost giants even trembled when they heard its name.
"Yes, I just want everyone to know that we have this magical weapon." Ulf said firmly.
However, Ange shook his head slightly and said: "Many lords will use this kind of war hammer. At first, people may think that people who use this kind of hammer are like thunder gods coming to earth, but because there are too many people using it, there are not many now. of mystery."
What Ange means is that things like Mjolnir have long been ruined among the Nordics.
Ulf smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, just forge this weapon."
Everyone looked at each other helplessly, but out of trust in Ulf, they decided to continue working.
Forging an iron hammer was very easy. They made a mold and put a whole piece of fine iron into a high-temperature furnace, melting it until it turned into a pile of molten iron.
Then he took it out and poured it into the mold, and then the embryo of a war hammer took shape, with hot flames dancing on it with strange colors.
The temperature scorched the faces of the forgers, and then Luther picked up a hammer and repeatedly struck the piece of iron to knock out the impurities inside. After repeated tempering and continuous cooling, Thor's hammer became The important parts are gradually taking shape.
Then, Ange picked a piece of hard oak in the woods. After bringing it back to the castle, he used a knife to peel off the outer skin of the oak, and then carved many lines, which represented the God of Thunder. Er's rune.
And Ulf ordered someone to forge an iron chain and an iron rod. When they started to move in full swing, they aroused the curiosity of others. They didn't understand what this group of Norse people wanted to do?
Even Guzlen stood on the steps and looked over curiously, but he was convinced that Ulf would have a way to solve their predicament.
Although some people supported Ulf's actions, others sneered.
The most irritating among them were the three Northmen who had been taught a lesson by Ulf. They were making noises in the crowd.
He said loudly: "Look what these fools want to do? Do they really think that Thor, the God of Thunder, will condescend for these guys? Do they think that they have the blood of the gods flowing in their bodies?"
Of course, Ulf heard these cries of ridicule, but he turned a deaf ear and concentrated on the work at hand, making the iron chains stronger. These pure iron chains were as thick as a thumb and could almost tie up a wild boar.
But after hearing these taunts, Vargas became unhappy. He immediately dropped the tools in his hands, put on his leather apron, and wanted to step forward and teach these clamoring guys a lesson.
However, Ulf stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, shaking his head at him.
His silent and determined face made Vargas give up his plan of revenge and could only glare at those people fiercely.
The tolerance of Ulf and others did not win the respect of the other party, but instead made them more arrogant. They were doing all kinds of obscene actions not far away.
Especially when he acted indecently towards Ange, Ange also bit his teeth and carved on the wooden handle with a knife, as if he wanted to carve and peel the wooden handle like these hateful guys. shed their flesh and blood.
When Ulf finished building all this, he raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sky seemed to be calm again now, but it was still dark and cold.
When Thor's Hammer was built here, everyone was very satisfied. It was very exquisite and detailed.
The front part of the hammer is made of a solid piece of fine iron, which is very thick and textured.
But at the same time, the carefully carved geometric patterns on it look full of mystery.
The wooden handle part was carved by Ange himself, which is simple yet exquisite.
"What are we going to do now?" Vargas looked at Ulf and said to him.
Ulf glanced at the sky, his eyes seeming to have been watching the unpredictable British weather.
"Wait, wait patiently." Ulf said to everyone.
In the eyes of a group of Vikings, the actions of Ulf and others were more interesting entertainment activities than fighting in the boring castle life.
"I said, Tou'er, has he really come down to earth?"
"Will he build this weapon for you?"
"Perhaps it was given by Odin himself? But I think it's just a pile of scrap metal and has no use at all."
They couldn't help but laugh, and these harsh and mocking sounds continued to enter the blacksmith shop. Vargas clenched his fists loudly, but Ulf remained calm. He knew that even killing these people would be useless before the time came.
At this moment, a burst of rolling thunder suddenly came from the sky.
Ulf's eyes suddenly lit up. He patted Vargas on the chest next to him and said to him: "The time is up, what should we do?"
