Chapter 6: Clarion Under the Moon
"Woo......"
Under the darkness of the night, everything is silent, except for the occasional slight waves rolling up on the calm sea, reflecting a little light in the soft moonlight.
And above this empty and quiet sea, there is an ethereal and ethereal sound of blowing, the sound is poignant and moving, and it is addictive.
The girl stood on the bow of the dragon's head, dressed in thin clothes, standing in the wind, holding a horn trumpet in her hand, and her slender fingers playing quietly according to the finger holes on the horns.
With a low voice with a bit of grievance, it seems that people can hear the sigh and helplessness in the girl's heart.
And on the seven dragon-headed warships around, there were also warriors who had not yet fallen asleep, listening quietly.
In the ten days that the dragon head warship went to sea, only the song music at night could bring some comfort to these soldiers.
And after the music gradually submerged and stopped, a deep voice came from behind her.
"Lena. β
Turning around, Lena bowed her head to the sturdy man in front of her, bowing slightly.
"Atler, my brother, what's the matter?"
This time she went to sea for revenge, all nine of Lina's brothers came to help her, and this dragon-headed warship was also because of Lina's particularity, in order to avoid suspicion, only Lina and her nine brothers were on board.
In Viking culture, women were revered for their generational wisdom and mastery of magic and prophecy, and there was no distinction between men and women.
However, the Vikings also focused on family, in which father and mother had the highest status, followed by their brother and sister, and in front of her brother, Lena did show the respect she deserved.
Looking at his sister, Adeler said with a sigh.
"Lena, in fact, you didn't have to come, the war is a matter between men, and it should have nothing to do with you. Kyle's feud is also our family's feud, family blood feud, our nine brothers will naturally help you to revenge, why should you ......"
"My brother. β
Lena, however, interrupted him directly, looking directly at her brother.
"The women of North are not known for their weakness. β
She said word by word, with a bit of heroism between her eyebrows, so that people couldn't see that she was just a simple little girl half a year ago.
Indeed, in the Norse culture, even women have the power to fight, and in the average Norse family, there are very few women like Lena who are not as skilled in weapons.
Perhaps, in the past, Lena did not like weapons and combat, and the old Edgar, who doted on her, could accept that she only liked music and did not like combat, but now, with the flame of anger in her heart, she obviously no longer thinks so.
Looking at his familiar and somewhat unfamiliar sister, Atreer could only say.
"Then you go to bed early. β
Atler was still on his vigil, while Lena turned away, staring at the deep darkness of the night before her, and the silver glittering silver of the sea in the moonlight.
The moonlight like water shone on her body, as if a thin veil was draped for her, and the more inspiring it became.
Looking up, Lena's bright eyes stared at the bright moon above her.
In his hand, he tightly grasped the simple necklace carved from stone around his neck, and opened his mouth silently, as if to say something.
The moon is like water, and the sea is silent.
......
The next day, at noon.
The sun goddess in a chariot passed above the sky above everyone's heads, spreading light and heat into the world.
Life at sea is always boring, and the Norse warriors who are bored can only find ways to relieve their boredom.
But just then, an excited voice came.
"Look!"
In the eyes of everyone, in front of them, the traces of a small island gradually emerged.
The island is not large, only a few dozen meters in diameter, and there is only a slight green on the pitch-black rocks, and there are no trees in sight.
"An island?"
Ataler looked at the island with a look of joy on his face.
For these people who have not set foot on land for a long time, an island at sea that is enough to settle down and rest, and let them stretch their muscles and hands and feet, is enough to make them happy.
"Haha, Atler, it seems that we are really lucky, or we should settle down here and rest first. β
Beside Atller, his younger brother, Harriet smiled, with a beaming face.
Atler thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, let's take a break. β
The rest went on quickly, and a Viking dragon-headed warship that approached first rushed directly to the island, and then more than forty warriors on board boarded the hill-like island directly, cheering and jumping, and some even danced directly on the island.
Also, for these strong Norse men, staying on a dragon-headed battle ship twenty or thirty meters long and with a narrow hull is like putting a tall and mighty warrior into a small box, which makes people feel extremely aggrieved, and they can't even stretch their hands and feet, and they can directly hit others in the face if they stretch out their hands slightly.
And at this moment, they are naturally excited when they set foot on land again.
The cheers were so loud that even Atler, who was a hundred meters away, could faintly hear them.
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile at his brothers.
"Look at them, they're like birds out of the cage. β
On the island, a Norse warrior felt a little stuffy, so he took off his armor and sat on the island naked, feeling the coolness of the sea breeze.
"It's fucking cool. β
He sighed as he casually thrust the axe in his hand into the ground.
"Bang!"
I saw sparks flying, but the sharp axe did not penetrate the black rock at all, but bounced to the side.
He looked at the rock in front of him in some surprise, but someone around him was already laughing.
"Hannah, I'm afraid you haven't eaten today, have you?"
A wild laugh ensued.
"Come, look at me. β
As he spoke, a sturdy man stepped out of the crowd, raised the axe in his hand, roared, and slashed at the rock in front of him.
"Collapse!"
Immediately, a huge force shook back, and suddenly, the strong man fell directly to the ground, and the black rock was only slightly scratched.
"I'll try it too. β
"Look at me!"
"Hmph, it's just me. β
β......β
Immediately, the astonished Norse warriors suddenly became interested, and began a competition to show off who could leave a mark on this rock.
And now, unbeknownst to them, the ground beneath their feet began to shake.
"What's going on?"
Then, until someone felt their feet shaking, they couldn't help but be surprised.
However, they no longer have a chance to be confused.
"Whoa!!"
Suddenly, a deafening loud bang sounded, countless monstrous waves were lifted, and the ground under his feet suddenly cracked.
Without even any defense, the Norse warriors fell into the great whirlpool of the sea, and the original "island" stretched out its body......
The sea shook, and not far away on the other dragon-headed warships, the jaw-dropping people watched as the island turned into a trembling head and lifted its head high, revealing the majestic body of the mountains beneath the sea.
That "island" is not an island at all, but the head of the behemoth when it emerges from the sea!
The huge body, which seemed to be boundless and endless, was as if a dark mountain appeared in the middle of the sea.
"Boom !!!"
Above the sky, the originally clear sky suddenly swam away with electric snakes, and dark clouds were thick.
With its casual movements, in an instant, a hurricane rolled up, and the sea roared as if the end of the world had come.
Its huge body, any insignificant movement, was enough to form a huge whirlpool in the middle of the sea that could engulf the ship, and every move was as terrible as a natural disaster.
And in those indifferent pupils, there was a cold beast that devoured all things.
At this moment, the giant beast raised its head and silently looked down at the mortal who was like an ant struggling in the huge whirlpool of the sea......
The serpent, JΓΆrmungard, the serpent that haunts the world, has awakened.
