The Normans were a bitter cold for the empire itself. But it is precisely this hardship that has created the tyrannical character of the Vikings. The Ice Axe Spirits Horn Helmet is the romance of the Vikings. Fighting and dying in battle was the way of life of the Vikings.

The Norman climate was harsh and unsuitable for crop growth. The fruits of the land and the sea beasts alone are too much to sustain an entire race. And in this case, every time before the cold winter came, the brave Viking men naturally took up arms, drove the dragon's head clipper, and "borrowed" some from their compatriots in the south.

The nobles of the south were weak and stupid, and as long as they did not attack the fortified castles and checkpoints, the Vikings could always return to their homeland with what they wanted. With a few shouts and a few shouts to drive away the timid and stupid farmers like ducks, the Vikings were ready to reap to their heart's content.

Compared to the united Vikings, the nobles were foolish. As long as you don't attack several territories at the same time, then the opponent will never help the opponent. Sometimes, after the Vikings left, the nobles would go to the opposite territory to get a piece of the pie...... Although driving the Dragonhead Clipper is gambling with your life every time, those losses are really insignificant compared to the gains.

At that time, Scotland, most of England, and a small part of Ireland, were their hunting grounds. Like the sea beasts of the sea, the Vikings would never bother their ≦ before the harvest season. It wasn't until the feast was about to begin that the Vikings would pick up their axes and join the bloody feast.

It was the golden age of the Vikings.

Britannia at that time was almost entirely shrouded in the shadow of the Vikings. Brave lads sailed the warship. They can go anywhere they want. Oh...... That is, until they went to Constantinople and met some madwoman.

Then Odin seemed to stop protecting them.

And then it got worse and worse. It's getting worse and worse. The Vikings lost most of their pastures, although the Britannian nobility remained weak. But the Vikings could not afford to go further afield to fulfill their dreams.

Especially now, after the rise of the Normans. That stupid X-like Ivar is about to lose even a little advantage, and after attracting the attention of the Empire, it is now extremely difficult to even plunder.

Why don't people want to go back to the golden age, they rob the peasants in peace, and rob them of their property, food and women. Laugh at the shivering aristocrats who hide behind the castle, and then everyone returns home with the spoils of war and laughing together.

So that no one will die. Anyone can get what they want, so what's the difference?

It's the worst of times.

On the 7th of July, it rained heavily, so it was not suitable to go to sea, but the Vikings had to go to sea.

The Vikings were not productive and mostly lived by plundering. Whether they are the Norman Empire or the Vikings, as long as they appear in their eyes, they will become their prey. It's just that because the empire and the Normans have already gathered a large army, this move undoubtedly greatly compresses the Vikings' space for action. Their situation has also become extremely difficult.

Dozens of Viking men complained to each other, and with their axes and helmets, they boarded the dragon-headed warship. What used to be a pleasant hunt has now turned into a life-and-death struggle, and no one knows what will happen to them. Imperial Navy? Norman workhorse? Or the same hungry Vikings?

They don't know.

They only know. If they don't do anything about it, they're going to starve to death. The Vikings have been in decline for a long time, though they are still fearless to death. But in terms of overall power, it was absolutely impossible to compete with the Normans. And in the face of these former powerful neighbors, the Normans did not look good at all. In fact. The Vikings who were forcibly recruited into the army have always been used as cannon fodder - not all Viking tribes are as decisive as the tribes of Xiali. He is willing to abandon the homeland and pride of the Vikings and run to the sworn enemy empire.

Dozens of Viking men pushed the warship into the sea, and it rained heavily today, but the wind was not bad. The Vikings wiped the rain from their faces, and they yelled at the sky and began to pray to Odin to bless them.

Bless them and catch a few more fat sheep.

Despite the terrible weather and worries about the future, the morale of his men looked good. The Viking leader nodded in satisfaction and hoisted the sails. The Dragonhead Warship is a warship with a very simple structure, and it does not even have a crew room in the true sense of the word. In this way, they slept in the open air, baptized by wind and rain. Every time you go out to sea, there are always people who are accidentally swept into the sea by the waves, and this is especially true of such miserable storms.

Why don't those Imperial people be robbed properly, Odin is on top, he can swear to any god that as long as they don't resist, then he will never kill them all. At most, they robbed their livestock, food, and women - after all, the wool came from the sheep, and even the Vikings understood it.

If you don't resist, you won't die, why don't you understand. Well, now that the war between the two sides has begun, everyone has suffered heavy casualties.

The Viking leader cursed the Normans and the Empire in his heart as he sat down on the bow of the ship. He looked back one last time at the old and sick who were looking at them expectantly, and then turned his head to look at the raging sea.

And at this moment, the sharp-eyed leader seemed to have discovered something. On the pitch-black sea, a small black dot was rapidly approaching them. The wind and rain could not affect it in the slightest, and in just a few breaths, the small black dot had already turned into the outline of a warship. The contrast between the dark ships and the white sails was striking, and on the masts of the ships, the flags of the eagle dragon and the serpent were waving in the wind.

The Viking leader's pupils narrowed, and he thought of a possibility.

"It's the Queen of the North Sea! Jump ship! ”

The Viking leader shouted at the top of his voice, and in fact, even without the Viking leader's warning, the Vikings had already begun to jump from the ship when they saw the conspicuous black hull and the eagle dragon and snake flags. If the farmer of the empire eats the guy with a hoe. Then the Vikings are their dragon-headed ships and battle axes. But in the face of the terrible warship that had gained fame for months, it was best to abandon the naval battle with it.

Odin is on top! It's a monster from hell. And what mortals can contend with!

The Vikings were not slow to react, but they were always a little late. The pitch-black warship was more than one hundred and fifty meters long. At first glance, it looks like a dark city wall. But its movements were so nimble, like a swordfish, the terrifying warship named the Black Pearl by the Vikings moved quickly on the surface of the sea, it broke through the rain, and pulled a beautiful arc on the surface of the sea.

After turning her side at the fleeing Vikings, the Queen of the North Sea suddenly stopped her movements. In the moment of movement and stillness, the transformation is so natural that it simply ignores the laws of the world. When the Viking leader returns. When I saw the seemingly unshakable black hull, I couldn't help but have a trace of despair in my eyes.

"It's over......"

From more than a month ago, a huge warship appeared in the army of Britannia. It's pitch black and huge, but it's incredibly fast. Even the dragon-headed warship, known for its lightness and dexterity, looked like a dwarf cripple in front of it. And its hard hull and ramming horns have become everyone's nightmare. From its proximity to Norman soil, the flagship became the embodiment of nightmares, with its minions. Along the way, there were countless bloody storms in Norman, and Ivar also tried to encircle and suppress, but he was repeatedly escaped by the other party, and was caught by the main force of Britannia. The two sides fought several bloody battles on the North Sea before they retreated.

In the eyes of the pirates, this dark ship was so dangerous. But it's so beautiful at the same time. The beautiful and domineering queen really makes people can't help but be shaken.

However. And that's not the most frightening thing about the Queen of the North Sea!

Sure enough, as the Viking leader expected. With a slight wave of her arm from a young girl standing at the bow of the ship, the Queen of the North Sea opened its hull, revealing dozens of eerie holes. And with his excellent eyesight, the Viking leader can easily spot the flickering cold light in the hole.

Dozens of large bed crossbows.

Airplanes!

Dozens of huge crossbow arrows turned into a dark cloud, completely enveloping the sky over the Vikings. In the desperate eyes of the Vikings, huge crossbow arrows pierced their bodies without hesitation. Under the powerful impact, the tissues of the human body were easily torn apart. As the most terrifying weapon, the bed crossbow can be directly penetrated by even heavily armored knights, let alone these pirates who only wear leather armor.

But the horror of these weapons was not there, a fierce fire began to rise in the crossbow bolts, and a moment later, there was a huge explosion where the Vikings were, blowing everything into powder.

……

"Originally, I wanted to install the rainbow cannon directly, but due to the cost of mana, I used a crossbow bolt this time. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and lack of samples, I really couldn't replicate the Greek fire, so I had to engrave some spontaneous combustion and explosion circles in the crossbow arrows first...... Although Tirbitz can't install a fire control system for the time being, as a ship elf, she has great control over the battleship, and it is not a big problem not to use the fire control system. And the dense accumulation of shots at such a distance is really ...... However, there is still room for improvement. Sure enough, actual combat and theory are completely different. ”

Nanoka used a small notebook to record the data she had just gotten and reported it to several adults. But alas, except for Sinloth, there is no one to respond to the serious little guy. William was already excited to get to the bow of the ship and direct the sailors to do the finishing touches on the rest - plunder, capture the prisoners, and burn the village.

Just like the Vikings did to the Imperials.

Louie's condition was much worse, he found a wooden barrel and was vomiting constantly. The aristocratic young man had never really been on the battlefield, and he vomited violently when he saw the endless blood. But after all, the tiger father has no dogs, and presumably the son of Governor Allen should soon get used to spitting and spitting. As for Rosa...... She's bullying a cute bunny.

"It's so cute!"

The half-human-tall little rabbit's eyes were golden, with wisps of blood and killing, and the breath that was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye was constantly seeping into the rabbit's body from the air, and then from the rabbit's body to the two hair ornaments in the earl's hair. Under the influence of that strange power. The dim crown of the abyss is regaining its brilliance little by little. It's just that this force is too subtle for anyone to notice.

The rabbit stood on the ground pitifully accepting the ravages of Rosa's claws—the little thing was too cute to look like. Whether it is an innocent girl or an old fritter like Rosa, it has a powerful killing power. Ever since she had accidentally touched the rabbit's limp body, Rosa seemed to be unable to bear to ravage it.

Sinloth felt the slightest itch on his face. Shook his head. As the incarnation of the Count, the Sun Incarnation itself is not sanity, it only has a crazy fighting instinct. Rosa is touching the rabbit, which is actually the same as touching Sinloth's cheek.

The Count smiled, touched Nanorka's head, and then took her into his arms, rubbing her smooth face.

"I don't understand it at all, but my Nanoka is amazing."

"Alas, alas, dad is really ......"

was held in his father's arms and rubbed wildly. Jean Nanorka's little face turned red all of a sudden. Like an ostrich, she buried herself in her father's arms and never showed her head again. However, the intimacy between the two did not last long, and about a few tens of seconds later, as a girl ran recklessly into the cabin, the original harmonious atmosphere was slightly changed.

"Charulu! It's boring......"

"Hey, Tirpitz, don't squeeze ......"

Heavily armed and still holding a ship-slashing knife in his hand, Tirbitz threw away the control knife in his hand and squeezed into Sinloth's arms regardless of it. The petite girl rubbed against Cynloth's chest. While complaining loudly.

"It's not a battle at all, it's just a massacre. I really want to fight with many strong people like Sister Bismarck......"

Then I broke my leg and went home to eat the tube.

Sinloth stroked her supple hair, feeling helpless. Tirpitz's personality is actually relatively peaceful. It wasn't so much that she wanted to fight, but that she wanted praise from Sinloth. And as a ship elf, sinking your opponent is undoubtedly the best way to prove yourself.

"Later...... There will be a chance. ”

Sinloth whispered in her ear. Tirpitz snorted twice, and shrank into Sinloth's arms. Tirpitz can't be blamed for that. Whoever it is, it's been repeating similar work for two months in a row. It's going to get boring.

And she is obviously not the only one who thinks so.

"It's boring, Sinloth."

Covered in blood, Xia Li walked into the cabin with several huge human heads, she threw them on the ground at random, and began to complain to Xinluos: "What kind of battle is this, what I need is a strong enemy...... Enemy! Those waste firewood really embarrassed us Vikings, and they chose to run away...... There were a lot of captives this time, about a hundred or so of them. Or do you follow the old rules? ”

It's a problem if you don't run, and not everyone is as crazy as you, Charlie. Facing an incomparably terrifying giant ship, it was followed by thousands of troops, this Viking village had a total population of only about two hundred, it was impossible to resist, and it would be a fool not to run.

However, Xinluo didn't bother to talk to Xia Li, but nodded: "Just follow the old rules, and divide the things you grab fifty-fifty." If it's a Viking, then you yourself use the spoils of war to exchange prisoners with others. ”

Of course, Xia Li is not a conscience and wants to save her own kind. This irascible and aggressive little girl definitely didn't have such a mind, she should have done it on the orders of those Viking elders. Fighting with the Normans, it is inevitable that there will be Viking captives, and it is better to be mixed with the same race than to be used as cannon fodder by other races, and in this mentality, there are still many people who are willing to join Xia Li's tribe.

What the Viking elders were thinking, Cynroth certainly understood. But now it is different from the past, he is no longer the poor little baron, there is a way to make them obedient, but it is up to them. After all, Desmond's population has grown, and it's a good thing for him.

"Sinloth, I know you're cautious, but that's not okay...... You'll have to find me a decent opponent this time! ”

Before anyone arrived, William's voice had already arrived. The Duke of Normandy sat down in his seat, and although there was still a hint of joy at the corners of his mouth after victory, he still complained loudly. A complete victory is indeed a joy, but at the current rate of killing, I don't know how long it will take to get out of the way - a killing battle to the death is in line with the duke's urgency.

Although William also knew that it was indeed the right way to quickly harvest the weak tribes of the Normans while the main Norman force was being dragged down by the main force of Britannia, and to keep bleeding them.

"If you don't fight these scattered Vikings and Normans, do you still want to fight with the main Normans who are gathered together? Wait......" Cynroth stood up suddenly, his eyes glinting with golden light, and looked into the distant sky. The rabbit seemed to sense something, and it broke free from Rosa's shackles and jumped onto the shoulders of the main body.

There was a slight look of astonishment on the count's face, and then it turned to joy.

"William, I doubt you're really a crow's mouth...... I wonder if you're interested in having a fight with the brother of Ivar the Boneless? ”

ps: I looked at the date, it's not May, why am I so lazy......
