When dusk came, the sky began to turn gray, and the people who hunted and cut wood from the forest outside began to return to the city of Sealand in an orderly manner, their faces were full of peaceful smiles, accompanied by cattle and horses, and their backs were full of today's harvest, they could not wait to go home, missing the food cooked by their relatives and the soft beds.

Although the strange fire that had destroyed the grain warehouse of the Sealand people a few days ago, it did not affect their normal life, and when they returned home at night, they were still able to enjoy a fragrant dinner, and even the poorest and lazy Zealanders, with the island's location surrounded by the sea and the rich land, their tables would not be short of meat and seafood.

However, this peaceful time was soon broken by a sudden change, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from outside the city, and a middle-aged man with a sweaty face was riding on horseback, constantly whipping the horse, the man's face was very pale, and his red and swollen eyes were full of panic.

The Sealand have a small circle, they all know the man, who usually makes a living by catching some seafood from the offshore sea, and because the tide usually rises and falls in the evening, it is rare to see him before dusk.

But now, instead of having a fishing net or fork for work, the man also has no catch or any other kind of catch on his body, which is very strange and unusual.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”

The man shouted in panic, and the people around him dodged to make way for him to pass, and they looked at the man's back in bewilderment, watching him drive his horses to rush towards the center of the city, where the rulers of the Sealands, where the four legendary demigods lived, there was nothing important in normal times, and ordinary Sealanes would not be allowed to go there.

Most of the Sealeland people muttered a few words each, then withdrew their gaze and focused on their own work, for ordinary people, it is better to pay attention to the strange behavior of the man today, than to consider whether the harvest is rich today, and how to avoid the nagging of women when they return home.

But as the sun went down and the moon was barely half of its head, the rapid sound of alarm bells began to echo throughout Sealand, shattering Sealand's assessment.

Someone sounded the alarm bell that hung in the central square of the city, and it was the one that the city was allowed to ring only when it was in the most critical situation, such as when the enemy attacked or when the city was in uncontrollable danger.

The Sealand people in the city stopped their movements, their eyes widened, looking in the direction of the middle of the city in surprise, they had not heard this voice for a long time, so many people did not react to the meaning of this sound at once, the last time the alarm bell rang was more than ten years ago, when Corondo tried to attack Sealand, and now many Sealand people, at that time, were just children who could only play and did not understand, and things only occupied a very small weight in memory.

However, even for many reasons, they still let the old and weak women and children of the family hide in the cellar according to the education they had received, and then took their weapons and armor, and led their mounts to the square in the middle of the city to assemble.

It is already a custom in most Scandinavia to let the old and weak women and children hide in the cellar during the battle, on the one hand, to protect the old and weak women and children in the family, and on the other hand, because the wars that take place in Scandinavia are all wars of plunder, even if they are defeated, as long as they are not discovered by the enemy, they can still continue to live on the land after the enemy leaves.

When the men arrived in the square with their weapons and equipment, they found that the strongest berserkers of the Sealand had been waiting here for a long time, their faces so serious that they did not have any expressions, and the four legendary demigods were equally serious.

Perhaps because of their mother's transformation into bulls, or perhaps because of the uncertainty of their gods' bloodline, the four legendary demigods, who were only a head shorter than the giants, had the horns of a bull on their heads, which made them look out of place among the surrounding Sealanes.

"Intruder, our island of Zealand has welcomed invaders, and this is the first time since Colendo that anyone has dared to invade our island of Zealand, a territory favored by our mother goddess Geofein. ”

The legendary demigod at the head, the eldest brother of the four legendary demigods, saw that the people were almost coming, he slapped his palms vigorously, quieting the chaotic and noisy square, and then said in a heavy tone.

quiescence

The people who had just arrived here were shocked by the sudden news

Zealand, their territory, their hometown, the island known as the Valhalla Palace on Earth, has been attacked by the enemy

What an incredible thing, what an unimaginable thing, what a terrible thing.

Even when Atilla was ravaging the entire north, Sealand was not attacked by her, and even when Corondo ruled the Baltic Sea, he only made a tentative attack outside Sealand and had not really set foot on Sealand soil.

Now, from the mouth of their chief, on this day that is no different from peacetime, the Sealand people have heard the news of the invasion of the island, and that the enemy has successfully landed on the island of Sealand without them discovering it, and has successfully landed under their noses.

Without giving the people below much time to think, the eldest brother of the four legendary demigod brothers took a step forward and continued to speak in a voice that could be heard clearly by everyone.

"Fear not, and fear not, just like the booty that you have stored up in your house, and like the leather armor that you wear now, our sword will surely cut off their heads, and our axe will cut off their spines, and our hammers will break their bones. ”

"What Corondo couldn't do, Attila didn't have the guts to try to do, and no one else could do it. ”

The words of morale were said in their mouths, but at this time, the hearts of the four legendary demigods were not as calm as their faces showed, and because of their strength, they also got more information about what kind of existence the people who landed on the island of Zealand this time.

Alice Norregi, known as the Lady of Calamity on the Main Plane, walks in the midst of earthly calamities, but among the Aesir gods, there are different opinions, curiosity, surprise, and admiration.

It cannot be said that the views of the gods are different from ordinary people, but it can only be said that there is a fundamental difference between mortals and gods from the very beginning in terms of looking at the problem, although in essence, for the gods, people who cannot get rid of the shackles of the main plane, no matter how powerful they are, are still creatures in a box.

However, Alice's achievement, as a young girl without any background, came to the main plane less than a few years ago, defeated Colendo from scratch, and successfully completed the occupation and conquest of most of the Baltic Sea region with a remote land of Jutland (compared to Scandinavia, the traditional belief area of the Aesirian gods, Jutland is indeed a remote area across a strait).

Of course, this does not include Alice's death capital on the World Tree, and does not include Alice's bold plan to become a god that she obtained from the god of Thoth, otherwise the gods of Aesir would not only be surprised by Alice, but angry.

That existence that even the gods would admire, the rumored victor who has not lost once, the strong man who is not even Attila and Corondo, with these Sealand people who have been at peace for many years, can really fight against her, really be able to defeat her, and accomplish tasks that no one else can do?

The legendary demigod didn't know what the final answer would be, even if they had the advantage in numbers, the four legendary demigods had unimaginable destructive power on the battlefield, they still couldn't predict the final outcome, and even their mother, the bloodline passed down by the goddess Geofein, who was said to be able to see the river of fate and predict the future, could not help them to get a little useful information in this battle.

Like this legendary demigod, the eyes of the three younger brothers standing next to him also flashed with an indelible layer of worry, and they tightly twisted their mouths and did not say a word.

After checking the integrity of their equipment once again, the Sealand led their mounts and walked towards the beach where the invaders had landed, led by four legendary demigods.

There were no scouts for gathering information, and there were no sentinels guarding the surrounding areas, except for a few people who were stationed in the city to keep guard, and the rest of them were scattered and swarmed, looking no different from untrained civilians from a distance.

No, in essence, these Sealand people are a group of civilians who are individually powerful, but have not been specially trained, and have not participated in war, and are outsiders in war.

Even if they can defeat the brown bear one-on-one in the forest, survive the hunt of the winter wolf, fight the white bear in the ice field, and fight the vicious sea beasts in the sea, there is no way to hide the fact that these Sealand people have not really fought against humans, let alone the chaotic and cruel battlefield.

Not everyone can fight in that terrible battlefield, full of death and blood, hearing screams and wails in the ears, smelling the strong smell of rust and roasted meat in the nose, every minute and every second, the companions around them are decreasing, how can such an environment be able to be used to by the so-called civilians all at once.

In addition to the problems of ordinary Sealand people, the problems of the four leading legendary demigods are not small in essence, although their strength has indeed entered the legendary level, but their combat experience, their combat skills, and the equipment on their bodies, which also affect their combat effectiveness, are very lacking.

As demigods, they were born with great strength, and the blood of the gods flowing through them also allowed them to reach the level of legends without much effort.

But these four demigods have not experienced any fierce battles since they were born, and the most formidable enemy they have encountered is only a group of wyverns who have come here from other islands to feed.

As for Corondo's time, they just exuded a legendary aura, shocked it from afar, and scared away Corondo, who was worried and just planned to make a simple temptation.

On the one hand, there is a leader who has never even experienced a battle, leading a group of men who have also not experienced war, and on the other side is a rhinoceros who has been trained by Skaha and can be called qualified and well-prepared in all aspects.

A lion leads a group of sheep and the same sheep leads a group of sheep, which is the final war between the Sealeland and Jutland that determines the ownership of the island, if there is not much change, then the final outcome is not much different from the final outcome of this proverb.

Soon they left the city and entered the forest, where the fire that had destroyed the warehouse was not in this direction, so the forest remained in a normal state, full of giant trees that covered the sky, and ferns that were taller than a human everywhere.

Silence, silence, silence

I don't know when the Sealand ranks became extremely quiet, with only the sound of their companions breathing, the click of their feet on the branches, and the peculiar sounds of insects and birds in the forest.

"What's that......"

With the sudden enlightenment in front of them, the Sealand people who came out of the forest all had the same question in their hearts, in front of them, the once familiar beach was completely no longer the same as the one in their memory.

Rows of neat wooden stakes were dug deep into the sand, and the soft sand was magically reinforced into hard rock, which should be called a city wall, and there were two things in front of it that looked like moats, and more importantly, the sharp-eyed Sealand people could clearly see the black shadows on the arrow towers behind the wooden walls.

"Little ...... Forehead. ”

The words of caution were still in his throat, and an arrow the thickness of a finger had already hit his forehead, and the pupils of his eyes had not completely contracted, and the lifeless corpse collapsed with a bang.

Subsequently, more arrows fell from the sky and fell into the ranks of the Sealands, although not many of them achieved success, as long as they were not shot in the vital position, the armor of the Sealand people could block them, but the morale blow it brought was extremely terrible.

The Jutland attack was so swift and decisive that these Sealeland people were not given the slightest time to be surprised...... In essence, the Sealands were already spotted by the harpies hidden in the leaves when they entered the forest, and when they came out of the forest, they were greeted by a rain of arrows, which was essentially a welcome ceremony for the Jutlanders.

Because attacking before the enemy is ready is the right thing to do on the battlefield...... Only certain people in Alice's memory who believed in a spirit called chivalry would choose the time to prepare for the enemy.

Well...... For example, Alice once saw a king called Song Xianggong in books, and he did just that, and then he was ridiculed in the history books for thousands of years.
