Chapter 154, an encounter
Next to the gurgling stream, the mercenary captain was stunned for a moment when he looked at the war horse in front of him. He did not expect to see a kingdom knight appear here.
"Where are you from?" The knight wearing chainmail, a family crest, and a pointed iron helmet looked at the panicked mercenary captain in front of him and asked him.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"I am the garrison captain of the Bishop of Christchurch. We were attacked by the Vikings." When the mercenary captain saw this knight, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Did the Vikings show up?" The knight frowned, the beard on his lips raised, and his blue eyes stared at the mercenary captain and asked.
"Yes, the bishop is probably in trouble now." The mercenary captain said to the knight quickly.
"Then we should hurry up and rescue them." The knight immediately said to the mercenary captain.
"It's just us, I'm afraid it's over now." The mercenary captain looked at the knight. This kingdom knight didn't seem to even have a squire with him. If it were just the two of them, they would probably be killed by the Vikings.
Just when the mercenary captain was confused.
"Don't worry." The knight nodded, took a horn from his waist, put it to his mouth and blew it hard.
A loud horn sounded, and soon there was a noise from all around, as well as the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. Many cavalry were seen pouring out from everywhere, hundreds of them in number.
"What's going on?" A knight came on horseback, holding the reins with his hand, causing the horse to turn slowly on the spot. He asked the knight who blew the horn.
"We have found traces of the Vikings. It is most likely the whereabouts of a witch." The knight who blew the horn replied immediately.
"Okay, I got it." The knight who asked immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away behind him.
Soon, the cavalry gathered together, holding their spears high, with small triangular flags flying on the top of the spears, which represented their respective identities.
"What are you chasing after?" The mercenary captain was not an idiot. He immediately realized that these cavalry were heading towards the Vikings, but what on earth was going on with the witch they were talking about?
"The Viking witches have humiliated us, and we will wash away the shame with their blood." The knight who blew the horn said calmly to the mercenary captain.
"But I heard that the king has reached a peace agreement with the Vikings?" the mercenary captain asked curiously.
"That's the king's business, and we have other grievances."
.....
In the diocese of Christchurch, the original residents were gathered together and imprisoned. They were very afraid at first that this group of Vikings would kill them.
But then it was discovered that the Vikings only imprisoned them and had no intention of killing them. Even the meals delivered were delivered by another group of Anglo-Saxons.
"What are they going to do to us?" Someone couldn't help but muster up the courage to ask the person who delivered the food.
"We don't know. In fact, we came here from another village to worship, and we were caught by this group of Vikings on the way." The person who delivered the meal could only answer like this.
"Lord, why are you giving us this kind of suffering?" The imprisoned bishop couldn't help but kneel down and pray toward the window of the simple warehouse.
At this time, they heard the sound of war horses neighing, and the noise of Vikings came from outside the warehouse. They seemed to be preparing for war.
"What happened?" People in the warehouse began to crane their necks, trying to see what was going on outside. Maybe someone was coming to rescue them.
However, the window of the warehouse was too high, so they had no choice but to send a light person to step on the shoulders of another person, and then they could reach the window. Through the gap in the window supported by several wooden sticks, he saw Outside the parish, the Vikings were lining up to fight against the kingdom's knights.
"Shield wall." With a cry, Ulf was wearing an iron helmet and chainmail, holding an ax in his hand, and Black Carbon was grinning beside him.
"Wow."
Vargas led the Norse warriors and immediately formed an indestructible shield wall with the strong round shields in their hands, and they used their bodies to withstand the round shields.
In front of the Vikings, the knights of the kingdom were forming a formation like a wild boar assault. They shouted the slogans of their respective families, clamped the horse's belly tightly with their legs, and held the flat-ended spears and pointed shields in their hands. With the guard in front of him, he charged fiercely towards the Viking shield wall.
"Hold on." Vargas rushed to the gap in the shield and looked at the approaching cavalry team. The roar of the horses' hooves on the ground was endless. The neighing of the war horses gave people a sense of oppression, like a heavy stone, firmly Pressed on his chest.
However, the North warriors used their eyes to stare at the approaching horses through the gaps between their shields. They would never let cowardly thoughts appear in their minds.
There was a roar, war horses neighed, and people flipped over.
The cavalry team crashed into the shield wall. The North soldiers in the first row behind the shield wall were knocked around, but the people in the second row immediately blocked them with their bodies. The entire shield wall actually successfully withstood the first wave of cavalry. Attacking, the slowed down cavalry immediately fell into the attack of the North warriors.
"Continue to attack." However, the knights of the Kingdom, unwilling to fail, charged again. Although the first wave of attacks did not completely defeat the Vikings, they tore a hole in the originally airtight shield wall. The second wave of attacks did not completely defeat the Vikings. Poe's cavalry charge was heading toward the opening.
"Ange, attack." Ulf immediately raised his hand and waved it above. This was the attack command they had agreed on long ago.
At this time, hidden on the other side of the parish, Ange and the Shieldmaidens saw Ulf's signal, and they immediately got on their horses.
"Drive~." Ange kicked hard with his heel, and the horse began to run. The wings behind the horse spread out in the wind, like an angel falling into the mortal world.
"Hallelujah." When the prisoners who were hiding in fear saw this scene, they were stunned and speechless. They saw the Northern Shieldmaidens riding their winged horses, rushing past them one after another.
The knights of the kingdom who were charging were panicked when they saw the Nordic cavalry suddenly appearing from the flanks. They did not expect that the Vikings actually hid a cavalry, and when they looked carefully, they found that it was the cavalry they were looking for. of Nordic witches.
"Charge over." When the leading kingdom knight saw the shield female cavalry led by Ange, he immediately changed the direction of the charge, turned around and headed in the direction of Ange and others.
"Boom~~."
The two cavalrymen soon engaged in battle, their horses colliding with each other, axes and spears intertwined.
