Located on the northern continent on the border between Karelia and Finland, this is a large forested area beyond the eye limit, with the sun hanging high in the sky but a chill in the air, indicating that winter is not far away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the dense and dimly lit forest, a contingent of about a few hundred humans was silently advancing, but soon the silence was broken by a large man with blond hair and blue eyes at the front, who took a sharp axe and cut in half a withered tree root in front of him, and after stepping over a puddle of mire, turned around and complained loudly.

"Why, we're here?"

"Beowulf, I said it all, just follow the plan you set at the beginning, don't always be so straightforward. ”

It was a berserker of the Jeats, and behind him was a group of strong men dressed about the same as him, and in the middle of the crowd, the red-haired maiden Skaha, who was on a horse and carrying two red spears, stood out in the middle of the crowd, and not far from Skaha, Beowulf was shirtless and mixed with his two weapons on his back.

The so-called initial plan refers to the plan to carry out sabotage work in Finland without colliding with Attila's main force, and the plan made by Sigourney to preserve his strength.

Hearing the words of the guy who walked in the front of the way, he let out a hearty laugh, accompanied by the shaking of his facial muscles, his face looked even more hideous, he pushed through the crowd and walked to the front, and a clenched fist hit the big man on the forehead from top to bottom.

"Really, you're still not our Scandinavian warrior, you're still not the great Odin God's warrior, are you really going to do what that little girl had planned?"

Beowulf didn't care about the big man who had been punched out of a big bun by his own fist, he took a crimson sword from his back, and the red light shone in all directions from the blade, and in an instant, it illuminated this dim dense forest.

He looked around and drew the eyes of everyone below to himself before he slowly opened his mouth.

"Are you scared?"

A low voice echoed through the air, followed by the sound of dense heavy breathing.

"Are you scared?"

Beowulf looked at the berserkers, who were breathing heavily and flushed from his words, and asked again, this time his voice slightly raised.

"What are you talking about? Beowulf. ”

"yes, yes, why did you suddenly start these madness. ”

"Beowulf, what do you want to say?"

The berserkers below, the berserkers who stood at the beginning who were hit in the head by Beowulf's fist, surrounded them with ugly faces, and said to Beowulf with a big mouth.

And in Beowulf's serious gaze, in Skaha's playful smile, in the inexplicable gaze of the other berserkers, the movements of these berserkers became slower and quieter, and finally they bowed their heads in shame and stood aside, silent.

Beowulf withdrew his gaze from the berserkers, and he took a deep breath, the muscles in his chest tensed violently, and scars bulged out on his skin, like long snakes swimming.

"Are you, the great warrior of the Yaats, the most loyal warrior of the god Odin, afraid, afraid of death, afraid of fighting the enemy, afraid of the woman, afraid of Attila!

Without giving anyone a chance to speak, Beowulf took another deep breath and continued to roar loudly.

"You, whoever is afraid, stand up now, I, Beowulf, swear by the god Odin, as long as he stands up now, I will not embarrass him, absolutely not embarrass him. ”

Beowulf's voice echoed through the forest for a long time, and then the whole scene fell silent, and even the heavy breathing from before became indistinct.

Maybe it was ten minutes, maybe it was twenty minutes before someone broke the silence in the field

A berserker dressed like Beowulf walked out of the crowd, he was a relative of Beowulf, he straightened his waist, looked deeply at Beowulf, then turned to face the crowd, he raised his weapon high, sliced through his palm, and then smeared the spilled blood on his face, roaring loudly in a low voice in the diffuse smell of blood.

"The people of Jeat, never afraid! never knew what it meant to be afraid!"

“……”

"Yes, yes, the people of Yaat have never been afraid of two words. ”

"It just so happens that I don't know how to write the word "scared". ”

When the silence was broken, five or six more berserkers emerged from the crowd, slashing their palms with the same sharp weapons like gourds, and smearing blood on their faces.

Five and six were followed by seven and eight, and in just a moment, all the berserkers present were smeared with their own blood on their faces, even the punch that was given to Beowulf at the beginning, and the faces of those who wanted to stop Beowulf were also smeared with blood, although they didn't know what they thought in their hearts, but under the coercion of everyone, they had no other choice...... Although Beowulf said that he would never be held accountable if he said it now, as long as he is not a stupid person, he actually knows that if he turns around and leaves at this time, then he will not return to Scandinavia in the future, because at that time, even their parents, wives and children will not be with them, and they will spurn their cowardice.

"Good. ”

Beowulf's face was also stained with bright red blood, and he looked up at the world that had been stained red with blood, and opened his mouth to smile and show a mouthful of white teeth.

"Very well, then...... Attila is ahead, and I can already smell her!"

With that, ignoring the slight commotion of the team, Beowulf turned and walked forward.

As he progressed, there were fewer and fewer trees, and even one or two huge trees stood in front of him, which were easily cut down by Beowulf with the Akahara Hound.

After about ten minutes of walking, the soil under my feet became drier and drier, and the chirping of birds and beasts in the forest became more and more sparse, and when the air became hot, the trees suddenly disappeared from view, and a large clearing appeared in front of everyone.

Then, exclamations rang out one after another behind Beowulf, and even Skaha couldn't help but move his mount to Beowulf's side.
