Section 118: Triumphant Return (2nd Watch)

Prescott is a freeman from the Danish king's territory of Harran, the so-called freeman is the Viking who has his own cultivated land, the status is in the middle of the Viking society, the opposite is the squire of the Germanic people, his Viking ship is located on the left side of the pursuit of the Unicorn, like the others they desperately pursue the Unicorn, Prescott's leader is a strong Viking warrior, the leader wears a nose iron helmet, leather armor and a wolf skin coat zuò, He carried a tomahawk in his hand.

"Come on, we're about to catch up, don't let anyone else do it first." The leader of Prescott roared in a rough voice, everyone knew what it meant to be able to take this ship, and the leader of each ship wanted to be the one who captured the Count of Mecklenburg, which would not only make them more respected in front of the Danish king, but also gain a lot of land or money.

"Chief, why did those Mecklenburgers light torches in the stern?" Seeing the stern of the Unicorn where the Count of Mecklenburg was located, an iron frame was stretched out, and a fireball was lit on the iron frame, the Viking warriors felt very strange, if they wanted to burn them, this fire might not be enough, this was simply lighting them in the mist, but at this moment, Prescott, who was standing behind the leader, felt an indescribable heat wave rushing towards them.

"Ah~~~." Prescott only felt a bright light in front of him, and he involuntarily blocked the round shield hanging on his left hand in front of him, and reflexively closed his eyes, but when he opened them again. The other Viking warriors tried to extinguish the flames on the leader's body by slapping them with linen or fur coats, but instead of extinguishing the flames on the leader's body, they were also burned.

"Odin, oh~~~." Prescott looked at the scene in front of him, and a sense of fear crept through his heart as a Viking warrior with his own land. He has always been fearless. When he was very young, his father took him to see the decapitation of criminals, and since then Prescott has never been afraid of anything, but today he is afraid, surrounded by flames. The companions jumped into the sea with a terrible howl. The icy seawater soaked into the body and immediately caused the burning Viking warrior to suffer a cardiac arrest. However, even though their bodies were surrounded by seawater, the flames were still not extinguished, and the sound of human flesh being roasted by the flames and the smell of meat permeated. As a result, many survivors vomit at the sight of barbecue for a long time.

"Flutter~~~." Without thinking about it, Prescott threw away his equipment and jumped into the sea, trying to get out of the hellish scene as much as possible, and in order to avoid the flames and the burning capsized warship, he took a deep breath and dived beneath the icy sea, fortunately the area where he lived was the land of the coast, and his father used to take him to swim in the biting waters in order to train himself.

"Woo~~~." But even this Prescott could not swim long under the sea, and he floated up from under the surface, hoping that he would find his companion ship untouched by the flames, but he was disappointed to see that the Danish king's fleet had left them and fled alone, and all he could hear was the roars of the Viking warriors struggling in despair, and the burning corpses floated past him like torches.

"Whoa, whoa." At this moment, the armed merchant ship of the Unicorn, which they had been chasing, sailed towards them to the sound of oars, and the Unicorn carefully avoided the burning area.

"Help, help me." At this time, Prescott, who was exhausted, stretched out his hand to the original enemies without thinking, he held a glimmer of hope that these enemies could save him, although he was actually desperate, but a miracle finally appeared from the unicorn to stretch out the wood pulp, Prescott grabbed the wood pulp without thinking about it, and then lowered a soft ladder made of linen rope from the ship.

"How many people have been rescued?" Arold looked at the chicken-like Viking warriors, and in order to prevent them from freezing to death, their wet fur coats were taken off and thrown aside, and the topless Viking warriors curled up on the deck, each losing their murderous looks.

"Let me count, well, twenty-four Viking warriors, oh, just one died, throw the corpses down, twenty-three." Eves counted and said to Arrod.

"Twenty-three." Arold nodded, and walked up to the captives, and said loudly, "Poor Danes, your king has forsaken you, and your god Odin has forsaken you, and Thor is on my side. ”

When Arold was with the shield maiden Grace, he not only asked Grace to learn the Germanic language, but he was also trying to learn the Viking language himself, but when he spoke to these Viking captives, not only the Viking warriors were surprised, but even Yves and others were surprised.

"Thor?" The Viking warriors couldn't help but raise their heads, looking at the nobleman in front of them who was wearing armor and robes, with a young face, but surrounded by a group of knights, he actually spoke their language, and the thunder god Thor was extremely worshipped among the Viking warriors, if Odin, the lord of the gods, was the supreme god, then Thor was the patron saint of the Viking warriors, and he was the closest god to them.

"That's right, weren't you defeated by Thor's weapons?" Arold continued, he knew the power of his flamethrower, so he decided to use the mythological system of the Viking warriors to start as a god, if the belief of other peoples in the Middle Ages in the Vikings was only limited to pagans, the mythological system of the Vikings was gradually excavated by the missionaries of Tongguò later, but Arold is not a person of this era, his soul comes from the 21st century, whether it is a TV network, you can know the mythological beliefs of the Viking warriors, What's more, the fanaticism of Viking culture in Europe and the United States, and various Hollywood blockbusters, can make Arold understand the beliefs of the Vikings.

"Is it Thor's power?" The Vikings were puzzled, and they looked at their companions around them, remembering the terrible lightning-like flames, like the sparks of Thor, the god of thunder striking a hammer on a felt when a storm struck.

Doubts planted seeds in the hearts of the Viking warriors, and looking at the captives with fearful eyes, Arold ordered the armed merchant ship Unicorn to sail back, while the remnants of the Viking fleet led by the King of Denmark retreated to the Isles of Sealand for temporary refuge, the fear of the unknown weapons of the Mecklenburgers made the brave and cunning king fearful, but since he had gathered his vassals to deal with Mecklenburg, he would never back down, and the Danish king would be cautious until he found a complete solution.

"We must find a true hermit and inquire about the will of the gods, and we must not act rashly until then." The King of Denmark said to his vassals, and the Viking leaders nodded their heads, impressed by the sight of the sea burning, and the Vikings had a tradition of being hermits, and these hermits were usually handicapped or intelligent and unique people, who believed that these people had supernatural abilities to communicate with the gods, and they usually lived in caves or woods far away from people, and lived strange and unique customs.

When the Danes huddled up on their islands and territories, the people of the port of Mecklenburg greeted the return of Arold and others with enthusiastic cheers, and at the beginning of the naval battle, people found a high cliff to watch the battle between the armed merchant ships of Mecklenburg and the Viking warrior ships, although the armed merchant ships of Mecklenburg attacked the Viking warrior ships with bed crossbows and slapsticks, but they were soon attacked fiercely, and the armed merchant ships were defeated one by one, and finally even the flagship of Arold was retreating, The people of Mecklenburg were in a panic at that time, some timid people had begun to flee the port, but what they didn't expect was that the flagship led by Arold used a flamethrower to burn the Viking warriors' warships in the waters off Rostock, and the remnants of the Viking warships did not dare to retreat back to their territory, while Arold's flagship Unicorn escorted a group of captured Viking warriors and returned triumphantly.

"Haha, the people here are so welcoming." When Yves stepped off the Unicorn, the enthusiastic fishermen and maidens pounced on him, hugged him and kissed him hard, the merchants in the harbor desperately stuffed their goods to the disembarking warriors, and the fishermen and women rowed desperately on their chests, thanking God for the victory and the repulsion of the devilish Viking warriors.

"Kill them, kill them." When they saw the Viking warriors strung together with flax rope coming down, the agitated people came forward angrily and waved their fists to beat these hateful invaders, but they were immediately stopped by the Arold soldiers, but the disgusted people threw the mess on the Viking warriors with eggs and vegetables, like criminals caught in the muga, and cursed in their mouths, but Arold did not stop them from doing so, because the aggressors must be punished, As long as it doesn't endanger their lives.
