At this time, Alfred had already stood up. He took a long sword placed by the bedside in his hand, and held the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand wearing a ring.
"Virgin Mary, what happened?" The queen stood up quickly, held the cross pendant around her neck, and asked Alfred.
"It's a Viking." Alfred looked solemn. When the luck in his heart was completely broken by reality, although he was a little panicked, Alfred quickly calmed down.
"Vikings?" The Queen of Wessex had a shocked look on her face. She didn't expect that the Viking who brought Isaac's news was actually telling the truth. The Vikings really came. Attack here.
"Maid, take the queen to a safe place." Alfred shouted towards the door. Outside the king's chamber, there were always servants and attendants waiting to guard against any summons.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although the maid who walked in was panicked, she quickly helped the queen get dressed and led her out of the bedroom through the side door.
At this time, the palace steward also stumbled in. He ran all the way, barely breathing.
"You should put on your armor and hold your sword." Alfred took a look, broke in, leaned against the wall, and spoke to the roughly dressed palace steward, saying to him: "Order the guards to assemble. "
"Yes, I have already ordered Lord Caesar to do it." The palace steward covered his heart, pointed to the corridor outside the door, and reported to Alfred.
"Very good, I hope our city wall can withstand the enemy's attack." Alfred nodded slightly and moved his gaze to the window, just enough to see the situation near the city gate.
At this time, the sound of swords clashing at the city gate, curses and shouts of killing could be heard all day long.
"Take down the carriage and break open the damn door." Vargas was wearing chain mail and a fur shawl. He was holding an ax in his hand and rushed towards North who came out of the darkness to support him. The soldiers ordered.
The North warriors killed and dismantled the carriage. The boards were used as large shields, and the carriage body was equipped with wood, which was used as a ram to hit the city gate hard.
"Ping~~."
Under the violent impact of the carriage, the city gate that was about to close was opened directly. The Wessex soldiers inside were shocked, and the North soldiers swarmed forward.
"***." Vargas picked up his ax and rushed into the inner gate with a buckler on his back. However, a wooden door blocked everyone's way, but this wooden door was thinner than the city gate.
"Let me do it." Luther wore an iron helmet with a nose guard and a heavy leather armor. He held a heavy long-handled ax in his hand and strode through the crowd and came directly to the inner door.
"They're coming in~~." From the inner side of the inner door, you can even hear the panicked voices of the Wessex soldiers, who were trying to temporarily strengthen the city gate with wooden stakes.
"Deng, Deng, Deng." A burst of footsteps sounded overhead, and the Wessex soldiers attempted to throw weapons from the skylight above their heads to kill the Vikings near the inner door.
"Hey~~." Luther clenched the long-handled ax in his hand. The veins on his forehead bulged and the muscles on his arms bulged. The heavy long-handled ax was swung up and hit the inner door hard. ….
"Boom~~."
There was a loud noise, and the inner door was shaken by the long-handled axe, and dust fell on both sides of the door.
"withstand."
The Wessex soldiers in the castle were flinched by the shock bombs on the door, but they hurriedly pushed forward with all their strength. Everyone knew that once the door was breached, the Vikings would swarm in, and everyone would Killed by ferocious Vikings.
"You must hold on." At this time, the palace steward was wearing a piece of fine scale armor. He was wearing an imitation Greek-style iron helmet, a blue cloak behind him, and a six-page war hammer in his hand.
Although this bald and fat old man usually looked greasy and wretched, he looked very majestic in armor at this time. When the palace manager stood behind the soldiers, these soldiers seemed to have a backbone.
"Dingmu, bring more." The Wessex soldiers called
He called his companions to use the wood stored in the warehouse to strengthen the city gate. When the wood was not enough, someone directly demolished the door.
"Boom~~."
However, those knocking sounds were like a hammer hitting everyone's hearts, and the wooden door seemed shaky. No one could have imagined that the Vikings would attack the castle tonight.
"Come here and tell His Majesty that if you can't hold on, take the queen and evacuate immediately." The palace steward stood behind the soldiers. He felt the terrifying power of the Vikings, and the courage in front of him was crumbling. He immediately He grabbed a young soldier and whispered to him.
When the soldier found Alfred, the King of Wessex was sitting on his throne wearing armor and holding a sword. He frowned and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, the palace steward wants you and your family to prepare to leave the castle." The soldier licked his dry lips and glanced behind him in panic. The sound at the city gate became louder and louder.
"This is my castle, I won't go anywhere." Alfred's face was sinking, he shook his head and said to the soldier.
"But Your Majesty, we are short of manpower. If the Vikings break through the city gate, then we will not be able to protect you and your family." The soldier said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, although the attack is fierce, it is only concentrated in one place, which means there are not many people on the other side." Alfred listened calmly to the movements outside. Although this time the Viking sneak attack was fierce, it was only concentrated in the city. At the door, it shows that the other party has not many people in order to achieve the purpose of sneak attack.
In fact, Alfred's prediction was absolutely correct. Ulf concentrated all his fighting power on the battle for the city gate, while he led a few elite soldiers around to the other side of the castle.
"Oh wow." Heitan passed through the bushes. The sharp thorns in the bushes made it a little uncomfortable, and it couldn't help but let out a whimper.
"Shh." Ulf quickly held its mouth and made a silent movement with his other hand. In order to make the movement easier, they did not even carry shields or armor, but only carried weapons.
"What are we looking for?" Even from here, the sound of fierce fighting could be heard from the gate of the castle, which puzzled the following Ulfenos warriors. ….
"It should be soon." Ulf did not look back at him. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and looked around carefully, and then let Heitan sniff the ground.
"Hey~~." Heitan leaned on the ground and sniffed around with its big black nose. He quickly raised his head and looked at Ulf.
"Have you found it?" Ulf's eyes showed a look of joy, and he reached out and patted Heitan's furry head. Heitan shook his head, spread out his four paws, and headed deep into the bushes. gallop.
"What did you find?" The four North warriors following Ulf looked confused. They didn't understand what the giant wolf had found.
Ulf, however, held the ax in his hand and carried a Viking long sword on his back. He took vigorous steps and ran in the direction of Black Carbon. The other North warriors also hurriedly followed behind him.
When a group of them passed through the bushes, they found Heitan in an open space, digging hard into the soil with his claws, as if there was something somewhere. After Ulf walked over, he lowered his head and looked at the ground. , the soil is moist.
"Help." Without saying a word, Ulf took out the Viking long sword behind him and kept digging the soil with the iron sword next to the black coal. When the other North warriors saw this scene, they looked at each other and were helpless. He took out his own weapons and dug beside Ulf.
"Is this?" Suddenly, a North warrior felt that he had dug something hard. He looked down and found that where he had excavated, there was a bluestone slab. From the gaps between several slabs, sewage was seeping out. .
"That's right." Ulf breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was just taking a gamble. This should be the sewage outlet for the castle to discharge sewage. According to the Roman design, a waterway must be placed closer to the castle. Far away.
The Wessex people are also very aware of this weakness, so they use soil
Buried, if it weren't for Heitan's superb sense of smell, it is estimated that most people would not be able to find this entrance at all.
"Move the stone slab." Ulf said to his North warriors with his eyes focused.
The North soldiers no longer hesitated, and they immediately moved the bluestone away, only to see a dark sewage drainage channel appear in front of them.
.....
The gate in the castle was still breached, and the Wessex soldiers tried their best to block the Vikings at the city gate, hoping to stop them.
"Archer, prepare~~, let go." The palace manager felt that his helmet had never been so hot and uncomfortable. If it wasn't for his own life, he would definitely take it off.
And he gathered the archers and stood between the city gate and the square, preparing to use arrows to attack the hateful Vikings swarming towards them.
"Boom~~, crackle~~."
The inner gate was hacked down by Luther and others, and fell precariously. When the city gate fell, the North soldiers held their round shields high and rushed into the castle.
"Shield wall."
After Vargas killed another Wessex soldier with his javelin, he saw a row of archers standing in the distance. He immediately guessed what the other party was thinking, raised his ax in his hand, and shouted loudly.
"Wow~~~."
The North warriors immediately raised their round shields. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, and the round shields were as airtight as walls.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~."
Arrows shot towards the shield array like locusts, and soon the round shield was filled with arrows, like a hedgehog.
