A strange scene occurred on the entire British island. The Vikings and the Wessex people had a tacit understanding and began to plunder the villages on the island. Neither the Wessex villages nor the villages in the Danfa District were able to do anything. survived.
The cruel tactics Alfred had to use also achieved considerable rewards. A large amount of supplies were transported into the swamp stronghold fortress. Looking at the supplies being sent in, Alfred stood on the city wall. , the mood is extremely complicated.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about this. After all, peace can only come if we drive away the devilish Vikings." Seeing the unbearable feeling in Alfred's heart, the newly appointed bishop comforted the king.
"I can still bear this price. If this is the will of the Lord, then we must bear it, but we cannot defeat the Vikings just by relying on the sacrifices of civilians. We need more advantages." Alfred He withdrew his gaze, looked back at the bishops and generals behind him and said.
"We will." The generals in armor quickly promised their king.
"I have carefully thought about past battles. The Wessex people's fighting will is not inferior to that of the Vikings, but why did we fail? Have you ever thought about this question?" Alfred asked the generals in a deep voice. asked, not feeling reassured by their promise.
"The Vikings are too cunning. They often set traps for us." The Wessex noble who was defeated by Vargas said angrily.
"Well, this is something we can learn from." Alfred nodded slightly. Not only was he not angry, but he admired the Vikings' fighting skills.
"Your Majesty, are we going to learn from those barbaric Vikings?" The other nobles and generals were very surprised. They despised these Viking barbarians from the bottom of their hearts.
"Yes, if you want to defeat the devil, you must be stronger than the devil." Alfred said categorically. In his opinion, if you want to defeat the Vikings, you must not only be ruthless, but also be more wise.
"Their weapons are stronger than ours, with hard shields and long-handled axes. Our people can't resist with only spears and iron swords." At this time, a young general said hesitantly.
"Yes, weapons and equipment, we should use better weapons to fight them. Our spears should be longer, or even use axes, and our shields should be thicker enough to withstand the Viking attack." Alfred's His eyes lit up, and he nodded approvingly at the young noble general.
"Soldier training, soldier training in the army is also a very critical part. We can strengthen the training of soldiers, improve their combat skills and physical fitness levels, increase the combat experience of soldiers, and allow them to deal with various situations more calmly on the battlefield. Situation." The young noble general seemed to be inspired and immediately said to Alfred.
"Well said." Alfred reached out and patted the general on the shoulder and said loudly.
"We should seek support from other allies and join the fighting team. We can sign military alliances with other city-states or countries to jointly resist the Viking attack. This can give our army a greater numerical advantage." At this time. , after seeing Alfred praising that noble, other nobles and generals also offered suggestions.
"The battlefield terrain will also have an impact on the outcome of the battle. We can study the battlefield terrain in advance and choose a more favorable fighting location. For example, on high hills, we can allow our troops to occupy a favorable defensive position, which is better To resist enemy attacks." Even the bishop, who had always remained silent on military operations, couldn't help but suggest to Alfred.
"Very well, terrain is very important. Every time the Vikings provoked their opponents by harassing and looting, and then led them into the set battle location, and this time we want them to enter the place we have chosen." Al Fred had a determined look on his face, and vengeful fury in his eyes.
"So, where should we choose?" Others asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I can always find a suitable place." Alfred touched his chin and said with a slight frown.
While Alfred and the generals were discussing how to deal with the Vikings on the top of the city, waves of drums came from the edge of the swamp. The drums were dull and shocking.
"What is this sound?" The Wessex nobles on the wall couldn't help but look outside the city wall. Many Wesker civilians outside the stronghold were dragging their families with them like frightened animals. , escape towards the stronghold.
"What happened?"
Someone asked down.
"It's the Vikings. The Vikings are coming." The frightened civilians said to the nobles on the city wall with trembling voices.
