Chapter 30: After the War

Night! On the shore, bursts of flames rose into the sky, and the fiery red flames burned high walls of fire, and huge fires emitted bursts of black smoke, accompanied by a scorching stench, wafting in the air.

Far away from the wall of fire, there was a large group of bloodstained Vikings with vicissitudes of life, some of them lowered their heads and cried in a low voice, some of them stared blankly at the burning flames in front of them, and occasionally calmed down, as if they could hear the sound of "crackling" in the distance, and even felt that they could smell the stench wafting in the air.

At this time, these people looked at the fire in the distance, and looked around, countless soldiers who were sitting on the ground and talking and laughing loudly, and the sadness in their hearts was spontaneous, and they did not know what their fate would be, they felt a burst of desolation, and in the raging flames, as if they saw their own tragic end.

As the soul of modern people, Evan knew that these dead people would spread plague after decaying, and in this era of lack of medical treatment, any simple plague would cause the entire tribe to suffer a devastating blow.

In today's battle, more than 4,000 people died on both sides, so many people died, and in the spring of disease, which also made Evan have to dispose of it immediately, so many corpses, it is better to burn them quickly, so he ordered the captives to split the thick wood overnight, set up a number of large rafts, pile the corpses on the rafts, pour animal oil all over the body, light the flames, let the raft carrying the corpses float in the wind, and finally disappear into the depths of the sea.

This is also a consistent tradition of the Vikings, in the Viking tradition, only the heroes who died on the battlefield can get the honor of sea burial, of course, the general lord will be buried with food, wine and even domestic animals and maids when he dies, and now so many people die here at one time, plus the conditions do not allow, so the burial is only exempt.

It was a great victory for Evan's warriors, who won the battle at a very small cost, and although some of their companions and friends died, it did not affect their excitement at this time.

The tradition of the Vikings is like this, in their hearts, death in battle is the highest honor, they desire to die like heroes in battle, the dead are only one step earlier to enjoy the blessings, sooner or later they will follow, so there is nothing sad.

At this time! After dinner, Evan was gathering with his adoptive father, sworn brothers, and the captains of the various brigades to discuss something. Half an hour into the meeting, the captains were clearly arguing about something. Seeing that they were all red-faced, they were obviously excited, but this group of angry men deliberately lowered their voices, obviously not wanting others to hear the content of their conversation.

"I still mean that, take advantage of the time to clean up the three of them, and accept their territory and centaurs!"

Olaf angrily shouted at the few people in the audience.

"Uncle Olaf! Now that we have just defeated the three Anthony brothers, the soldiers are already tired, and if we continue the battle immediately, then our soldiers will be tired and cause unnecessary casualties. ”

Among the Evan sworn brothers, the youngest Sam opened his mouth and said, although Sam is the youngest, but his brain is not slow, among the Auler, the youngest Sam has the most ideas and the most flexible, this war, he has taken advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, killed a lot of enemies, as Evan's sworn brother, he also has the right to participate in this meeting.

"Fatigue? Tired? Are you kidding? How much time did it take from the beginning to the end of the battle? Even the average warrior doesn't feel tired, not to mention that our fighters are specially trained? You're all an excuse. ”

Ole has the same straightforward temper as Olaf, after he heard the words of the fifth Sam, he immediately stood up and refuted his brother's words to everyone, although he is a sworn brother, the relationship is very good, but at this time it is not the time to talk about friendship, so Ole at this time is also red-faced, obviously angry in front of him.

"Excuses? Boss, I don't understand what you're saying? What did Sam say wrong? Even if the warriors now have the strength to fight again? But is our current situation suitable for making enemies everywhere? Didn't he say this for the good of his second brother Evan? Not for the whole clan? ”

At this time, the third Leaf listened to the boss Ole yelling at Sam, and he was angry, so he retorted at that time, and did not save face for his boss in front of others.

"Third brother? What do you and Lao Wu mean that you have always disapproved of exterminating those three tribes? Are you your own brothers? I think Uncle Olaf and the boss are right, and now I should have killed those three bastards in one fell swoop, and made them uneasy, I wanted to kill them a long time ago. ”

Haakon, a-stirring stick, immediately stood up in solidarity with his boss Ole and Olaf, and said that he was still gesturing with a slashing motion, looking like he was about to find someone desperately.

"Am I not my own brother? If you tell me this, what am I sorry for my brother? If you and Haakon don't make it clear to me today, I'm not done with you. ”

As soon as Haakon said this, Liv and Sam immediately stopped doing it, jumping to their feet and yelling at Haakon.

"Forget it, forget it, you didn't know Haakon on the first day, this is a brainless goods, don't worry about it, he has this temperament, in fact, he never thought about it that way, and he takes his brother very seriously, you two are understanding people, there is no need to meet them."

Seeing Leaf and Sam jumping on their feet, and Evan, who had been sitting quietly on the stump without speaking, he had to open his mouth at this time, he didn't want to see the brothers make a fuss over such a sentence, how ugly their faces were.

"Second brother is right, I don't have as many fancy intestines as you, and I didn't say that you are not brothers, I mean, we are good brothers, so we should kill the three old things of Kong Sai, if you don't kill him, keeping them will damage the prestige of our five brothers, so let's kill them-

Second brother! Look at the third brother, the fifth brother also agrees with me. ”

Seeing Leaf and Sam angrily questioning themselves, the brainless Haakon also sensed that the wind was a little wrong, and immediately continued after Evan spoke, but what did he mean? As if "reason" was still on his side, not only that, but he also forced his meaning on Leaf and Sam.

"Ha Lu Ha-"

Hearing Haakon's honest face, Evan couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say the urn sound, and as he laughed, several other older people in the audience also laughed.

In fact, in recent months, everyone has also discovered that this Hakang is a living treasure, as long as he is there, who has nothing to do to reason with him, it is really a matter of finding guilt and being a fool.
