"Woo-woo-"

In the afternoon of spring, the golden sun shines on the earth, a spring color, the originally silent earth, suddenly there is a rumbling horn sound, along the solemn horn sound of the place to look, only to see the original empty plain, at this moment two 10,000 troops in a formation, east and west opposite, indicating that war will break out at any time.

These two teams from a distance, the west team is divided into blue, blue, red three-color phalanx, each square of all personnel are wearing a unified uniform, these soldiers are young and strong, there is no old and weak remnants, and the whole team is rigorous, the soldiers participating in the battle regardless of men and women have high morale, there is no cowardice and timidity in everyone's eyes, there is only one expression, that is, excitement and expectation!

This shows their excitement and anticipation of the battle to come, a bloodthirsty thirst for the blood and heads of their enemies, pure Vikings, heroes in their veins, and a desire to prove themselves by killing like their ancestors in countless stories.

Not only was the eastern contingent smaller than the western one, but the whole contingent was disheveled, with clusters of warriors standing very loosely, old and complicated weapons, men and women, and children, and most importantly, the contingent looked lifeless and without the slightest spirit, as if a sick man who had not recovered from a serious illness, or like a farmer who had been tired for a long day, and his body was strongly fatigued.

These two teams are Evan's men and the team of the three Anthony brothers, and from their first impression on the battlefield at this time, it can be seen that the team in the west is led by Evan, and the old and weak soldiers who have recovered from a serious illness in the east are the three brothers.

This is also the reason why Evan ordered his subordinates to eat and drink well and rest early, and while Evan and the soldiers were eating and drinking and beaming, Anthony and the others waited for seven or eight hours like fools in anxiety and hunger, and now the two teams are put together and compared.

The team of the three leaders of Consei had not yet reached the place of battle, but this did not prevent the three leaders from riding to the battlefield one step ahead, and they stopped at a low rocky hill in the distance, looking at the battlefield, and when they saw the men and horses of both sides, their faces flashed with shock.

"Look——, what's ahead of Evan's team?"

After a brief moment of consternation, Calis pointed to the team below, and asked the doubts in his heart with a little trembling words.

Conse and Aguero woke up from their shock when they heard Calis's words, and looked in the direction of Calis's finger, and the two of them suddenly gasped, and their mouths were wide open and could not be closed for a long time.

They saw that at the front of Evan's entire team, there appeared a group of Viking warriors with large iron shields in their hands, the shape and size of these iron shields were unheard of by the three leaders, in the long lives of the three leaders, it was not that they had never seen iron shields, but it was the first time they had seen so many iron shields at one time, let alone such a strange and huge iron shield.

After all, the Navia Peninsula is rocky except for the ocean, which is too barren and backward, even if there is iron ore, they do not have the ability and knowledge to discover, which also makes minerals such as copper and iron can only be obtained through plunder, and even weapons are basically grabbed to make a good one, and they use it directly, which also causes everyone to know that the iron shield of the road is stronger, but there is no copper and iron, and there is no way to produce it in large quantities.

Now that so many iron shields appeared in front of the three of Kong Sai at once, one can imagine how much shock this caused them.

These iron shields were specially made by Evan to ask the blacksmith to lead the slaves to hurry up, and these iron shields cost Evan almost all the harvest of several annexations and looting, except for the copper and iron that left the shipbuilding parts, most of the rest are here.

These specially made large iron shields are very different from the wooden shields used by the Vikings in the past, first of all, we all know that the iron shield is more durable and durable than the wooden shield, and then, these iron shields are very different from the previous wooden shields, the wooden shields in the past are round, small and easy to carry alone, flexible and suitable for individual combat, and now this batch of specially built iron shields are one meter four or five high on each side, looking down on a semicircle, and the front is rectangular.

These large iron shields were specially built by Evan in order to face large wars in the future, if he lived according to his own wishes in the future, then the enemies he encountered in the future would become stronger and stronger, and the number of people would increase in numbers, and in this large-scale battle, more and more people would die, and these dead people would not only have enemies, but also his subordinates and even friends.

There are some things he can't avoid, but Evan can find a way to minimize casualties, which is why this big iron shield is born, Evan doesn't care how much property and materials are used, he thinks that as long as people are alive, everything has hope, he doesn't care about these dead things, he cares about the lives of the people around him and the warriors.

This kind of large iron shield can be carried by soldiers with a handle on the reverse side in war. When used, the person crouches behind the hand and advances sideways, which can cover the body and prevent the enemy's blades from being injured by arrows and stones, with better defense, coupled with the strength of iron, Evan believes that such a shield will definitely reduce his casualty rate in this area in battle, so that more fighters can survive.

"Look, what's in the hands of those warriors behind the shields?"

Aguero saw some of the thinner soldiers who were originally standing behind the shield, and at this time they were raising strange weapons for aim, and couldn't help but exclaim and remind the two leaders around him.

"Like—like a bow and arrow?"

Calis's uncertain answer followed, for he had really never seen such a strange weapon.

In fact, what they saw was the "crossbow"! This is also one of Evan's powerful weapons, but this weapon has been on the market for too short a time, and he has used it several times to win a big victory, and relied on sneak attacks to recover many people, and this weapon has not been circulated, so many people are not aware of the power of this weapon, and today Evan is also on a formal occasion for the first time to put this weapon in front of the world.

"Look! Evan is arguing with his adoptive father and his sworn brothers?

Evan playing alone? He rode his horse and went to the opposite side? What does he want to do? ”

Conse had been silently observing, and at this time, he suddenly spoke up, interrupted Aguero and Calis, who were still working on new weapons, and pointed to the middle of the field.

Evan's team was ready to start a war at any time, but while everyone was waiting for orders, Evan insisted on going out to say a few words to the enemy, despite the obstruction of his adoptive father Olaf, the Ole brothers, and other captains.

Of course, such a bold approach was firmly opposed by everyone, and they did not understand that Evan had traveled all the way on this expedition, and what kind of peacetime style was judged by the two of them? According to what they knew about Evan in the past, Evan would never drag on this unsuspenseful war until now.

According to what they knew about Evan, at the beginning of this war, he would definitely march to attack the other side, and even if he couldn't succeed in one blow, he would not let Anthony's team withdraw intact as he had done a few days ago, and would definitely destroy that enemy first.

Moreover, this time Evan not only let the enemy go, but also gave them plenty of time to organize their ranks and fight their own troops head-on.

This is really unreasonable, in fact, this is not only Olaf, Ole and several people think so in their hearts, those old subordinates who have been following Evan for a long time feel strange in their hearts, this is too far from the leader they know?

Although there were some doubts in their hearts, but out of absolute trust in Evan, no one took the initiative to ask, after all, Evan has been the leader for just a few months, which has brought countless shocks to everyone, and has made earth-shaking changes in the tribe, of course, these changes are developing in the direction of good, so now no matter what Evan has done? Everyone will support it unconditionally, except in cases like the current one.

Everyone has been waiting for so many days in this slightly confused mentality, and today Evan finally gave the order to prepare for battle, seeing that the time was almost evening, and the team was ready for battle, just waiting for an order, they would completely annihilate the opponent with an extremely tough attitude.

But no one expected that at this time, Evan would have to ride alone to talk to the three wastes who were about to die opposite? How can this make everyone not object, if it weren't for the intensive training in recent months, everyone has been a little crazy, everything must be obeyed and forbidden, if it was in the past, Olaf would have taught his adopted son a good lesson, and he would dare to go out when it was so dangerous? It's so lively.

But in the end, they couldn't stop Evan's actions, and after Evan released the words that he was the leader and he was the earl, everyone had to choose to back down, who said that the hierarchy that the Vikings had followed for generations had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

However, although everyone can't stop Evan, it doesn't mean that they are defenseless, and all of a sudden, countless sharp arrows are aimed at Evan's surroundings, shooting anyone or animal that can threaten Evan's life at any time.

"Anthony! Gail! Garay! Is this how you greet your friends? ”

Evan rode on his horse, and when he reached the center of the field, he shouted loudly to the opposite camp.

"We don't have friends like you? You killed our father, there is only hatred between us, there is no friendship, you will die here today! ”

Anthony, as the boss and the most grumpy one, saw Evan riding alone to the center of the field, and he couldn't help but admire this enemy in his heart, but admiration is admiration, at this time, in front of the whole clan, he didn't want to extinguish the power of his side, and after hearing Evan's words, he immediately retorted.
