The fire soared into the sky, illuminating the castle, which was not very bright originally, like daylight.
And Ulf's purpose was not only to create chaos, but also to make Alfred invisible, because Ulf knew very well that in an era without electrical technology, night was originally a time when vision was unclear, and even more so. What's more, many people also suffer from night blindness due to insufficient vitamin intake.
In order to catch Alfred without fail, Ulf deliberately set fire to the warehouse and used the flames to illuminate every corner of the castle to ensure that Alfred was caught.
"It's on fire, the castle has fallen."
As the flames rose, the Wessex soldiers who were still resisting mistakenly thought that the Vikings had completely captured the castle. Many people began to try their best to escape and find a way to survive.
"kill."
When Vargas and others saw the flames, it was as if they had eaten mushrooms with a stimulating effect. Their aching and tired bodies seemed to have recovered all of a sudden, and they roared and charged towards the people who were gradually retreating. Wessex soldiers.
At this time, the Wessex people's front, which was already weak, became fragmented.
at this time
Under the protection of the nobles, Alfred walked out of the main castle. His sight was full of chaos and flames. This scene reminded Alfred of the scene of hell he saw in the biblical illustrations, and the group of people holding axes The Vikings were like the devil with a fork in hell, aiming at their group of sinners.
"Your Majesty, this way." A Wessex noble was sweating profusely. He was not wearing any armor, just a simple noble shirt and a blue shawl.
I saw that this Wessex nobleman and Alfred tried their best to avoid the chaotic battle and walked towards a remote place. However, no matter where they went, they could hardly avoid the danger. What was even worse was the entrance to the city. The Vikings were firmly guarding the door, making it impossible to leave.
"How about we climb over the wall and leave." The Wessex noble suggested to Alfred.
"Just do it." Alfred had no idea at this time. He raised his head and glanced at the city wall, feeling dumbfounded. The thick and tall city wall that used to protect him now became an obstacle to his escape.
"I will go up first, and then drag His Majesty up." The Wessex nobleman had thick brown hair and a beard. His blue eyes glanced in the direction of the Vikings and said to Alfred and others.
After the Wessex nobleman finished speaking, he walked along the wall, looking left and right in the direction of the city wall. But just as he climbed the stone steps of the city wall, he heard a sharp sound breaking through the air. Come.
"Whoosh~~ah."
A short javelin flew towards the Wessex nobleman from the darkness, hitting him in the back, and the sharp short javelin head pierced his body.
"Oh wow."
A large mouthful of blood spurted out from the mouth of the Wessex noble. He turned his body behind him and tried to pull out the short javelin, but he only scratched a few times in mid-air. He hung down helplessly and his body fell dead on the stone steps.
"grown ups."
When Alfred and others saw this scene, they could only cover their mouths in pain. They did not expect the Vikings to be so vigilant. Anyone approaching the city wall might be shot. ….
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, they heard a horn sound coming from outside the city wall. This horn sound made Alfred feel like he heard the doomsday horn.
"This horn sound should be made by Guzlen's army." Alfred said to the followers around him with a sad face.
Alfred, who had fought against Guzlen several times on the battlefield, knew very well that Guzlen would order someone to blow the horn before each battle. At first Alfred thought it was similar to a military bugle, but later Yin Thacker told Alfred that this horn should be derived from Viking myths and legends.
It is said that this horn is called the Dragon's Horn. In Viking myths and legends, when Ragnarok approaches, Odin, the father of the gods, orders the God of War to blow the horn to summon the heroes in the Hall of Valor and the Valkyrie. Together, we will fight against the attacks of the Frost Giants and Fire Giants.
.
"Guzrun used this story to compare himself to the god who summoned heroic spirits." Yinsak once said to Alfred, shrugging his shoulders.
"Lord, it would be great if Yin Sak was here." Thinking of this past period made Alfred even more painful. He regretted that he should not have allowed Yin Sak to carry out such a dangerous mission. If Yin Sak was here, I will definitely try my best to stop everything in front of me.
"Your Majesty is not well." At this moment, everyone saw several Vikings holding axes and bucklers, striding towards the direction where they were hiding.
Alfred looked at the entourage on the left and right. Most of these entourages were palace nobles. They usually talked endlessly about government affairs, but they might not be as good as themselves when it came to real swordsmanship.
Just when their hearts were filled with despair, the group of Vikings were getting closer and closer to them. The sharp axes in their hands and the terrifying tattoos on the Vikings' faces all stood out so horribly in the firelight.
.....
In the village, Yinsak's hands were tied, but Ulf did not restrict his freedom.
So Yinsak was able to look in the direction of the castle in the village. At this time, the sky above the castle was already burning, which made Yinsak feel nervous.
"Lord, please protect my monarch." Yinsak was helpless now. The North warriors following him made him extinguish any thoughts of escape. He could only reach out and hold the wooden cross pendant around his neck and pray to God. pray.
"It's really disgusting. I should be killing everyone in the castle instead of guarding an old man here." The North warrior guarding Yinsak was a little dissatisfied, but he did not dare to disobey Ulf's order and could only complain. .
"Lord." Yinsak ignored the complaining North warrior. He knelt down devoutly in the direction of the castle and kept praying, hoping that God could show the power of miracles and save the monarch of Wessex. .
Snap, snap.
The North warrior who was guarding curled his lips, thinking that it was useless for this weak monk to kneel before a castle, but a few drops of rain fell on his head.
"Is it raining?"
The North warrior stretched out his hand in surprise, wiped the water droplets from his cheeks, raised his head and looked at the dark sky. Sure enough, the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
"Lord, thank you that you have appeared."
Yin Sak raised his head in surprise, and a happy smile appeared on his face. The rain came in such a timely manner that it could only be described as a miracle.
In the castle, Ulf raised his head in surprise and looked at the sky. .
Two ounces of saccharin
