Ulf used the sacrificial ritual to kill the North warriors who opposed him and intimidate others. In addition to making sacred vessels and presiding over sacrificial activities, in the eyes of ordinary Northmen, Ulf already has this mysterious aura about him.
However, Ulf also knew very well that even so, if he could not achieve the same achievements as Nagna and his sons, this impression would soon be erased from the minds of the Norse people.
He needs a victory as grand as Ragnarok.
And Ulf didn't wait long for this opportunity.
The next day, a ray of early morning sunlight shone through the window into the house.
When Ulf woke up from his sleep, the smell of rust seemed to still linger in his nasal cavity. The bed covered with animal skins under him was soft, but if he was greedy for the softness of the bed, he would not endure the coldness and get up, panting. He sighed and sat up from the bed.
There was some pain in his head, as if his toe accidentally kicked the coffee table, but the pain was a continuous and continuous kick. Ulf frowned slightly, he must have a cold! It would be terrible if you catch a cold. In this day and age, a cold can be a fatal disease.
Suddenly, bursts of dull horn sounds came from outside.
Ulf didn't care about the "cold" at this time, and hurriedly put on his clothes, walked to the window and looked outside, and saw many North soldiers running towards the city wall sleepily, some of them shirtless, Just holding an ax in one hand.
"Ulf, the Angsa people are here." There was a knock on Ulf's door, and Ange's voice came from outside.
Ulf easily lifted the warhammer that was beside the bed, put on the leather armor, put on the wolfskin cloak, put the iron box containing the sacred objects on his back with a chain, and at the same time lowered his arm and moved two fingers. , Heitan, who was squatting in the corner, whimpered and followed Ulf obediently.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Outside the castle, flags were flying.
The army led by Auda occupied a hilltop outside the castle. From there, they could spy on the castle defended by the Vikings without being immediately attacked by surprise. It can be said that Auda was a cautious commander.
Guzlen stared at the Auda camp in the distance. Judging from the tents and flags, the opponent's number was more than double theirs. This did not make him feel intimidated. What really caught his attention was the opponent's erected flag. The black flag is Ubbe's lost crow flag.
"It's the crow flag." Other Norse people also said after seeing this.
Carrying axes and spears, they stood on the city wall and looked at the Ansa camp in the distance. The flag that originally represented the glory of victory has now become a symbol of their shame.
"Ulf is here."
At this moment, the North warriors standing all over the city wall made a burst of noise. They saw Ulf leading Ange and others onto the city wall.
Ulf was carrying the warhammer and carrying a heavy iron box wrapped in animal skin on his back. A thumb-thick chain tied the iron box to him. The big black wolf beside him rubbed against Ulf's leg.
Guzlen heard the commotion and turned his head to look over. The corners of his mouth turned up and his beard swayed on his chest.
"They're coming to the door." Guzrun said to Ulf, completely treating Ulf as his right-hand man.
Ulf walked to the wall. He put his hands on the cold wall and looked at the Angsa camp in the distance. It was crowded with soldiers and civilians holding weapons, but there were still people setting up horses and digging. The trench looked ready to be defended and built with siege weapons.
"There are many of them, and they came to attack the city well prepared. If they can't defend the city, it will be detrimental to us." Ulf's eyes flashed, and he said to Guzlen.
"That's what I think too. Blow the horn, beat the drum, and let's go out and fight." Guzlen nodded, raised his strong arm, and ordered the guards behind him.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh." The Northmen liked hearty battles in the wild and did not like to hide behind high walls. Guzlen's order was exactly what they wanted, and they cheered immediately.
"Odin."
"Thor."
The names of the gods resounded through the sky in the castle, and the Norse warriors dressed up in armor, put on their weapons, and held thick round shields in their hands, preparing for battle.
The sound of armor and weapons rubbing against each other continued to sound in the castle.
The princess also noticed something at this time. She was holding her child in a daze, hiding in the bedroom and not daring to go out, but she kept hearing the sound of horns and war drums in her sleep.
"Mother, what happened?" The princess's son raised his head in surprise and asked.
The princess walked to the window. She saw the flag of Sheriff Oda in the distance and the continuous military tents, and she immediately beamed with joy.
"We are saved. It's reinforcements. Our reinforcements are here." After saying that, the princess seemed to have remembered something. She came to the bronze mirror and tidied up her appearance.
When being imprisoned by the Vikings, although the Vikings did not intend to kill her, but wanted to exchange for ransom, the princess stopped dressing up out of despair, so she looked unkempt.
The princess's son came to the window, but what he saw was not just Oda's army on the hill outside the city, but a rough sound coming from the castle, with round shields on their backs and axes and spears in their hands. The menacing Vikings were planning to He opened the city gate and walked out, so he was so frightened that he hid under the bed.
"Quack, quack, quack." The gate of the castle slowly opened, and the Norse warriors walked out of the castle under the leadership of Guzrun. They sang songs praising Odin and Thor, and their rough voices echoed everywhere.
This scene happened to be seen by Ao Da and others on the top of the mountain, and they were immediately surprised.
"They actually left the city?" Auda's adjutant was a little surprised. He raised his right hand wearing a leather glove and pointed at the Vikings coming out of the castle.
"Fight, prepare to fight." Auda immediately ordered loudly, his face was extremely serious, and he reached out to hold the cross pendant around his neck.
Before Ulf left the city, he suddenly called Ange.
"Don't go out with us," Ulf said to Ange.
"Why, I'm a shieldmaiden." Ange's eyes widened after hearing this, and he said loudly to Ulf.
It was simply an insult to keep a shieldmaiden from going to the battlefield, but Ulf leaned his ear next to her and gave her a few instructions, and Ange's tight lips raised slightly.
"This matter can only be left to you." Ulf patted Ange's shoulder with his hand, then put two fingers in his mouth, blew lightly, and made a whistling sound.
"Oh~~." The huge Heitan raised his neck and let out a long wolf howl at the sky.
