Auda held the sword and looked around subconsciously. Lightning cut through the gloomy sky, illuminating everything around him.
He saw a Viking warrior carrying an iron box on his back and holding a war hammer, approaching him step by step. His eyes, as blue as the deep lake, stared at Oda coldly. His strong body was covered with a beast's shawl and the leather-embellished iron armor commonly used by the Vikings.
Auda suddenly realized that he was alone in the melee. The swordsmen who usually guarded him were scattered all over the battlefield and had no time to take care of the Sheriff. Now Auda can only protect himself with a sword, and the only protection is the ancestral sword in his hand.
This sword was used by Auda's grandfather when he was loyal to the king. It has a traditional cross shape. The hilt and the sword body are crossed. The counterweight on the top of the hilt is an iron ball, which makes the balance of the sword very good. , a Latin inscription is engraved on the blade of the sword near the hand.
"Serve my Lord."
Auda clenched the hilt of the sword with five fingers. The back of his fingers turned slightly white because of too much force.
Looking at Ulf getting closer and closer, Auda could hear his heart beating against his chest like a drum. At one point, he even thought his heart would break through his ribs and jump out of his body.
This was not Oda's first time on the battlefield, but he felt a sense of oppression from Ulf, like a wild beast riding in the night, staring at his throat, waiting for a fatal blow. , bit his throat and devoured him alive.
At this time, Ulf was holding the warhammer and recognized at a glance, among the melee crowd, Sheriff Oda, who was wearing bright armor and holding a sword.
The principle of capturing the thief first made Ulf walk towards Oda. The journey was not smooth. There were soldiers who were constantly killing each other in front of Ulf, but Ulf didn't do anything. He would push them away without hesitation. If he encountered an Angsa man, he would raise his war hammer and swing it over.
The heavy war hammer hit the enemy's helmet, immediately denting the iron helmet. From the cracked skull, bright red blood gushes out from the helmet. The unconscious Ansa soldier collapsed on the ground. In front of Ulf, Ulf didn't even glance at it and directly raised his feet to step over the corpse.
"Boom~~."
Thunder boomed in the sky, lighting up the space between Ulf and Oda.
The corpses and the warriors fighting around were like the background of a drama, and Ulf and Auda were standing in the middle of the stage. This feeling was very strange, but it was extremely real.
Ulf held the warhammer in his strong hands, and the iron box behind his back pressed heavily on him. However, it did not cause Ulf any discomfort. On the contrary, it was like he was really carrying an artifact that could give him infinite power.
"Odin, Thor."
Ulf raised his head and glanced at the sky. His eyes were firm and sacred. The raised warhammer dragged out a long shadow under the light of lightning.
"Oooo."
The North warriors were completely convinced by the myth woven by Ulf. They were convinced that Thor was driving a goat cart, soaring in the sky, looking down at the battlefield to appreciate the majestic posture of the holy warriors fighting.
Oda frowned. He listened to the thunderous cheers in his ears. He expected that the Vikings would flee after seeing the crow flag, but that did not happen. On the contrary, their morale was extremely high. On the other hand, the Angsa people showed signs of decline even though they had a large number of people.
"For the glory of the Lord."
Even in the face of an unfavorable situation, Auda was not discouraged. He raised the sword in his hand and shouted slogans.
Ulf narrowed his eyes slightly and pulled out the throwing ax from his waist. The birch stem was rough and raw, and he threw it violently in the direction of Aoda.
"Buzz."
The flying ax rotated four times in mid-air, and the sharp and thin ax blade chopped the air with a sharp sound.
Ao Da's eyes condensed, and he instinctively raised the sword in his hand and struck the flying ax with the outer blade.
"Kang~."
There was a crisp sound of metal collision, and the flying ax was knocked away by Aoda's sword.
However, Ao Da only felt that his hand holding the sword hilt was numb with shock. He tried his best to stabilize his body, so that he did not fall down due to the impact of the flying axe, but he was also surprised in his heart. He did not expect that this young-looking Viking warrior had such strong hands.
At this moment, Ulf rushed towards Oda with his war hammer.
The warhammer made a buzzing sound, with a ruthless luster of metal, as if it was carrying the biting cold wind of Northern Europe, and struck Auda.
And Auda received rigorous military training from his father since he was a child. He was not a leisurely nobleman sitting in a castle and living by exploiting serfs. His arm, which wielded the sword hundreds of times every day, could almost instinctively hold up the sword in his hand. , using the thickest part of the sword to hit the war hammer.
Ulf only felt that the opponent's sword was used very delicately, and he continued to use skill to resolve the heavy blows of the war hammer. On the surface, Ulf had the upper hand, but as time went by, Oda might find an opportunity to strike. He couldn't help but focus on the opponent in front of him.
Not to be outdone, Auda dwarfed his body, pointed the sharp sword in his hand at Ulf's left leg and pulled it towards him.
Ulf reacted quickly and raised his feet, making an attack gesture at the same time.
"Whoa~~." Ulf roared angrily. He raised his foot and aimed it at Oda's chest, kicking Oda backwards. However, Ulf still regretted it because of this. One kick was equivalent to widening the distance between the two.
Auda reacted quickly. With the help of Ulf's kick, he took the opportunity to retreat and blended into the crowd and disappeared. Because Auda was not fond of fighting. He knew very well that he was the commander of the army. Even if Victory in a duel with a warrior like Ulf cannot determine the outcome of the entire battle.
"My Lord County Chief, are you okay?" Auda's guardian swordsmen were lucky enough to find him, and they hurriedly gathered Aoda in the middle and asked.
"I'm fine. Send the signal quickly and let the hidden cavalry dispatch. If it's too late, we will lose." Auda took a breath and ordered his attendants and guarding swordsmen.
Before the war began, Auda consciously concealed a new force. They were a light cavalry unit composed of a group of squires with considerable combat effectiveness. Each horse was bred on their own farm.
This group of light cavalry is good at using spears. While running towards the enemy, they concentrate all their strength and speed on the tiny spear tips to break through the enemy's armor and flesh.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooottat......" Aoda's attendants hurriedly took out the horns, puffed up their cheeks, pointed at the horns and blew out the sound.
At the same time, the dull horn sounded.
The Ansa light cavalry who were hiding in the woods immediately got on their horses. They kicked their horses and slowly moved towards the battlefield.
