Everyone followed the direction of Liu Chen for a long time, turned a high mountain into the clouds, there was a huge fortress between the two mountains opposite, which was blocked in the middle of the winding mountain road, saying that it was a fortress, in fact, it should be said that it was a fortress, a hideous and domineering fortress, the sharp angles on the city wall, the towering tower, the whole fortress was immersed in a haze, exuding a light blue light, setting off the blue-black city wall, which only made people feel depressed and gloomy. All corners of the fortress stood warriors in battle armor, holding weapons of various styles, each of which was shining with cold light, looking at the neat lineup on the fortress, it did not look like tens of thousands of people had just been slaughtered.

On the other hand, outside the fortress, countless tents are endless, one by one, and there is no end in sight. However, it did not look like a majestic barracks, but was like a big market, with noisy people everywhere, and there was a little bit of military appearance.

Liu Chen shook his head: "You see, it turns out that Catholicism really didn't rely on luck to defeat the Norse gods, this chaotic scene, where is it like an army, it is completely rebellious peasants and pirates"

Another point pointed to the gloomy fortress: "Look at the Catholic army again, although tens of thousands of people have been slaughtered, but the army is well-groomed and the morale is stable, and the soldiers arrayed on the city wall will turn into human-loving tigers at the first opportunity." ”

Kevin nodded: "The Vikings themselves are pirates, they are only ordered by their own captains, they have no formal training and education, and they can fight here all thanks to those demigod minotaurs, so it is only a matter of time before they are defeated by the Catholics, and when the Catholics come up with a way to deal with the minotaurs, it will be when they are slaughtered." ”

Liu Chen shook his head: "In fact, the Vikings still dominated for a long time in history, and in the end, the Vikings were not eliminated, they were just assimilated, in fact, your ancestors were a member of the Vikings." Looking at Kevin's glare: "Although you don't admit it, the Germans are a branch of the Vikings"

Lao Xu took a straw stick in his mouth and chewed it like a cow: "You two are very mysterious, but I didn't understand what you said." But I've long seen the Vikings' failures. After speaking, everyone looked at him: "It's just rolling your eyes, aren't we here to defeat them?" ”

Su Hong also rolled her eyes: "I feel that you have a lot of depth today." ”

Lao Xu spit out the straw stick in his mouth: "Are you serious? I feel the same way. ”

Everyone's eyes fell to the ground, which really fits Lao Xu's style.

"Okay, let's find a way to enter the castle first, and then find a chance to break the game, shall we?" Liu Chen ended Lao Xu's funny.

A few followed Liu Chen to the edge of the Viking tent, intending to bypass, at this time suddenly there was a sound of horns, only to see the huge gate of the fortress gradually opened, and slowly walked out from the inside of the fortress a team of war horses, each knight on the horse was wearing chain mail, even the knights under the knight were wearing a thick drape, these knights were holding knight spears, the queue was uniform, after coming out of the city guard, the formation of the charge was lined up, and the slope of the mountain slowly accelerated.

On the other side, the Viking camp, hearing the sound of the Catholics' horns, also rushed out of the tent to pick up arms, waiting for a drum to sound here, the Vikings standing on the front line have to get out of the way, from behind came a group of minotaur warriors, only to see these minotaur warriors holding huge shields to the ground to a pestle, the outside of the giant shield is full of sharp ramming horns, immediately formed a shield array, if the cavalry on the mountain can not break through such a camp, absolutely a hundred deaths, just look at the body of these bull heads is about to catch up with the height of the knight and horse, The strength of this shield array can be imagined.

There were two thousand cavalry rushing down from the mountain, and there were nearly a thousand minotaurs in front of the formation, so the two terrorist camps quickly collided together, and the cavalry who rushed down from the mountain, by inertia, rushed into the minotaur shield array one after another, and the cavalry in front was directly penetrated by the impact angle of the giant shield, and the wave behind continued to rush up, and the wave after it really caused a certain pressure on the minotaur's shield array, and the shield array was quickly pressed into an anti-bow shape, but without waiting for the Catholics to be happy, the minotaurs took out their hand axes from behind, The hand axe of the minotaur, the size of a normal man's battle axe, the thousands of bull heads took out the axe and shot indiscriminately, a thousand axes the size of a tomahawk were thrown into the cavalry camp, and the cavalry who did not rush were beaten off their horses, such a size of the hand axe, even if it was not a frontal split, there was the power of the minotaur to throw, as long as it hit, all fell off the horse, and soon, nearly two thousand cavalry were left with only a few hundred people, and the knight who led the team saw the defeat and decided that Tima fled back to the fortress with the rest of the cavalry.

The Vikings on this side did not pursue and retreated directly to the camp.

Kevin hurriedly asked Liu Chen: "Why don't they pursue, isn't the pursuit a good opportunity to expand the results of the battle at this time?" ”

Liu Chen raised his hand and looked at it again: "It should be that you suffered a loss when you attacked the city yesterday, you look at the wolf under the city wall, there are traces on the city wall, it is estimated that this castle also has some means of protection, these Vikings also suffered a big loss, otherwise these Catholics should not dare to attack like this, they must have restrained the Vikings' attack yesterday, and today they want to increase the results, and they don't want to be completely no opponent of the Minotaur as soon as they get out of the city."

The five of them went around in a big circle to avoid the Vikings' sentry and began to approach the fortress, Kevin was a little worried: "Even if we get close to the fortress, how can we get in, it is difficult for us to gain their trust." ”

"Didn't you say it yourself? There is no mortal mission, I think the nest will give us a chance to enter, we just wait. ”

While talking, Su Hong used her perception to tell everyone: "There is someone in front, it should be a spy in the fortress." "This place is far from the Viking camp, and there are spies and small works on both sides in this area.

Liu Chen was happy when he heard it: "How about it, the opportunity has come, right?" As he spoke, he pulled his cloak and stood up: "Brother in front, I'm not a Viking, I'm a friend of Father Crewe of the Dutch Church, can you lead me to him?" ”

There was silence on the other side for a while, and a voice came out: "Who are you?" Is there a token? ”

"You tell him that my name is Liu Chen, and you say that I have sunk things into the sea and destroyed them, and he will know who I am." Liu Chen said loudly.

As soon as Liu Chen's words fell, a bow and arrow shot at Liu Chen, Liu Chen raised his hand and grabbed the arrow directly: "I am friends with Father Crewe in the fortress, and I came to him for something, if anyone wants to take my head to ask for credit, then they have to see if they have the strength." Before the words fell, Su Hong turned around and shot an arrow, and went straight to the direction of the sneak attacker, only to hear a miserable scream, and gradually lost his voice. Then Liu Chen pulled out his spear and slashed it in one direction, a strong wind broke through the air, and a big tree fell in response to the sound, and in an instant, the surroundings were quiet.

For a long time, the guy who was talking to Liu Chen just now said: "Please wait for a while, I'll go back when I go."

This one went back and waited for more than an hour, just when Lao Xu complained again and again, a figure came out of the grass and came to Liu Chen's people, Liu Chen's spear stretched out, and handed it directly to the throat of the visitor, and looked at it, it turned out to be Jerry, I saw Jerry holding Liu Chen's spear with a dagger, but he smiled enthusiastically: "Heretic, is this how you welcome old friends?"

Liu Chen laughed, threw the spear to the ground, and stepped forward to hug Jerry: "Why are you, Father Crewe not coming?" ”

Jerry laughed, "Just kidding, Father Crewe is an important person, how could he have come here in person, he asked me to come and pick you up, he was very happy to hear that you had destroyed that evil thing, and asked me to invite you into the city." ”

After a while, several people came to the outside of the fortress, and looked up at the huge city fortress, which was as small as a speck of dust, the thick city walls, mottled marks and the wounds of war, the huge city gate was covered with pits and scratches, and some bows and arrows were cut on it before they had time to clean it.

The rope ladder was lowered in the fortress, and several people entered the fortress along the strong ladder, Liu Chen was a little puzzled why Europeans liked castles, and turned his head to ask Kevin, who thought about it: "The castle has a great role in this era as defense, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Before the 9th century, there were no real castles in Europe. However, due to the resistance to the Viking invasion and the formation of a decentralized political force, thousands of castles spread across Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries AD. ”

Jerry led the way, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he turned his head and replied: "Kevin is right, in the face of the Vikings' attack, only such a high wall can work, they are too powerful, if we don't rely on such a fortress, we would be crushed by now." You should have seen it when you came, this time there are not only powerful Vikings, but also the minotaur we saw in France last time, these monsters are too strong individually, just a few days ago, we were trying to rely on the number of people to prevent them from landing, but the whole 10,000 people were slaughtered by those minotaurs, and finally we had to retreat here. ”

"But can you hold on to such a fortress? This fortress can defend against the Vikings, but it can't deal with the Minotaurs, right? Liu Chen asked strangely.

"This castle is blessed by the gods, and those bull heads cannot attack it, and the only way to attack our castle is the Vikings themselves. Just yesterday we repelled several Viking attacks, and the results were brilliant. Jerry said with some pride.

"Is that why you're sending cavalry against the Minotaurs today?"
