Chapter 122, Ying Xiao
at this time
The Wessex soldiers in the camp did not know that the Viking raiding party had sneaked in. In the dark environment, sight would be affected after leaving the campfire.
But Alfred did not relax his vigilance. He ordered people to patrol the camp with torches to prevent Viking spies from getting in. He even drew on the information about the Vikings that Isaac brought back and patrolled the camp. Password password method.
"Your Majesty, there are brave and loyal nobles and soldiers in the camp. Is it too much to use this method?" A Wessex noble said to Alfred who was sitting behind the table having a meal.
"No, this method is very useful. I plan to promote it in the army for a long time." Alfred actually didn't have much of an appetite. The long march made him physically exhausted and his stomach ached. However, in order to maintain his strength and cope with the possible next Fighting, he could only force himself to swallow some broth and bread.
"We shouldn't learn from pagans." The noble frowned. He stretched out his hand and crossed himself. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only obey the king's order.
"If you can defeat them, it doesn't matter if you learn." Alfred finally finished the meal, and he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed an extremely difficult task.
"For the pagans, it is best to kill them all. Whenever I see the bodies of those dead pagans, I will feel better." The Wessex noble said to Alfred.
"No, my lord, our purpose is not to eliminate them physically, but to force them to undergo baptism and become one of us." Alfred took a deep look and the noble in front of him said to him.
"Your Majesty, you are so naive. We have baptized and converted these pagans countless times, but they didn't take it seriously at all. The next day they would pick up their evil idols, chant the names of false gods, and raise their hands. Raising an ax to attack us, let me say that they are not worthy of the teachings of the Savior, and hell is more suitable for them." The Wessex noble shook his head and said to Alfred.
"Everything is God's will." Alfred pursed his lips. He went on a pilgrimage to Rome when he was very young and saw many ethnic groups merged under one religious banner. Therefore, he clearly knew that he was not with Gutz now. It is a good time for Lun to fight, but his purpose is to defeat the opponent, force them to baptize and finally convert the opponent.
Of course, even his own queen did not reveal this inner thought, and he would not talk about it to the noble man in front of him.
At this moment, there was a faint noise from outside the tent, which made the two men immediately look at the door with vigilance. The soldiers serving them immediately went out and soon returned in front of the two men.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, the Vikings are raiding our camp." A heavily armed soldier said to Alfred.
"What, these damn heretics." The noble was furious after hearing this. He immediately grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist and cursed outside the tent.
"Let's find out what's going on first?" Compared to the nobles' reckless impatience, Alfred seemed very calm. He frowned slightly and said to the attendant.
One of the attendants nodded, pulled out the dagger from his waist and walked out.
When he walked out of the tent, he saw only dark shadows. Soldiers were running and shouting. Nobles and generals raised their riding whips to yell and curse. Flames were beating in the distance. In such a chaotic scene, the attendants were stunned. I can't help but feel fear.
Prior to this, Ange and others captured two Wessex sentries, forced them to tell them about the weak points of defense in the camp, and then killed them directly from there.
Under the dark night sky, it became the best disguise for the raiding team. Sigrid put a knife against Bearded's back and forced him to walk forward into the camp. Forced, Bearded had no choice but to take Ange with him. The others walked all the way towards the edge of the camp towards the warehouse where supplies were stored.
"Are you Vikings? Can I join you if I want to?" Things started to go smoothly, because people on the periphery did not notice this different team, and what annoyed Ange was the one who was caught The thin sentry, not only was not afraid, but kept asking Ange in a low voice.
This thin man seemed to have practiced the language of the Norse people. Although he was stumbling, he made everyone understand what he meant. It was just his weird pronunciation and strange request that made everyone laugh softly.
"Shut up, if you don't stop, I will cut off your tongue." Ange finally got impatient, grabbed his collar, almost lifted him up, and said threateningly to him.
The thin man had no choice but to nod his head and roll his throat vigorously a few times. If he hadn't been of some use to Ange and the others, he would have been killed long ago.
"Red Dragon."
But just as a few people stepped forward, three fully armed Wessex soldiers appeared from between the two tents, and they met Ange and others head-on. However, there were still dozens of steps between the two sides, and the two sides were almost Can't see clearly what's happening on the other side.
However, one of the leading Wessex soldiers suddenly shouted at Ange and others. This sudden situation caused both parties to freeze for a moment, and Sigrid glanced at the fat man and asked him to respond, but the fat man's expression was dull and his lips were trembling.
"Stop playing tricks, what's going on?" Sigrid used a sharp knife to hold the third section of the fat soldier's crest, and pushed upwards with force.
"I, I don't know, I forgot what the password is?" The fat man felt sweat pouring from his forehead. In desperation, he felt as if a swarm of wasps had been filled in his mind, flying around in his empty mind. .
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
The people on the other side waited and found that the fat man did not answer. They looked at each other, clenched the spears in their hands, and walked slowly towards Sigrid and others who had stopped.
Suddenly, Sigrid's expression condensed. She raised the throwing knife that was pressed against the fat man's back, aimed at the oncoming person and threw it.
The flying knife instantly hit the head of the leading soldier, who groaned and fell to the ground. Before his companions could figure out the situation, they saw several Vikings rushing out from behind the fat soldier. They hit themselves with the axes in their hands.
Ange, Sigrid and others quickly killed the three patrolling Wessex soldiers. They knew that the commotion here would soon attract the attention of others, so they did not stop and set the tent on fire. .
When the tent made of linen and sheepskin was lit like a torch in the dark night, the camp suddenly became commotion, and many Wessex soldiers who were confused about the situation were scurrying around like headless flies.
"Find their king and kill him." Ange's blue eyes were flashing with fire, and she said coldly to the shield girls under her.
