Chapter 082: Trade
The raid was so successful that Noddy sent a small fleet of ships to lure the flotilla guarding the vicinity of the garrison out to sea, and then, with the help of the morning fog before the rising sun, quickly surrounded and annihilated it. Then, before the people on www.biquge.info the island could react, they quickly landed on the shore and killed the camp of "Hunting Fang". The war has been going well until here. The old and weak women and children in the village were simply vulnerable to unpreparedness, and although they picked up their long-idle weapons and tried their best to resist, they could not gather their combat strength at all, and they were divided and surrounded and annihilated one by one.
Nordi walked slowly through the village, his axe still waving, but he was at a loss. Along the way, seeing their people looting and burning the house in a hurry, and even a few soldiers were stripping a screaming big-bellied woman, the originally high fighting spirit suddenly shook a little. Before he decided to go into the sea business, it was a normal scene, and sometimes he would be involved in it, laughing with the looted treasure and slashing the original owner with an axe, he would look at the burning house and laugh and add another fire, and he would hold the struggling woman and laugh, and enjoy the desperate and painful groan before his men did it. But since when did he get tired of it?
Plop, plop, two crashes sounded behind him, and he quickly turned around, only to see two corpses holding weapons staring at him staring at him, and behind them, there were two throwing axes.
Garbit climbed over a low fence and walked up to him, then stepped on the corpse, pulled out the axe one in each hand, and then smiled teasingly at Nordy, "Boy, you're stepping back. ”
Nordi smiled bitterly and laughed at herself, "yes, it's been too long since the good days." ”
Chillclaw's Yar laughed twice, turned around, and ran to the next battlefield again. Nordi shook his head helplessly, tsk, this is the Nord people, sure enough, I slack. Then, without hesitation, he rushed to another stalemate warband.
The invasion should have gone well, but they unfortunately missed one point, and that was the vein. Mining and forging were too old and weak to do, so some of the people who were beginning to weaken but were still able to do it were sent here by Yar to take charge of mining and crafting weapons for young people. In general, there are still a large number of veterans with actual combat experience hidden in the deep tunnels, and the news of the attack on the settlement naturally spread over there quickly.
Hearing that someone was coming to trouble their tribe, how could these veterans who had not yet been cold still endure it? So they grabbed the weapons they had just built, and even the shovels and T-shaped pickaxes used for mining rushed out of the mine.
The soldiers of the coalition army were scattered all over the village, and they were elated to rob, and a group of strong men with weapons suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were also startled, but the ferocity of the Nords quickly stimulated them to rush up and slash, but how could the scattered five fingers compete with the clenched fists, these scattered guys were outnumbered and quickly cut down. However, the soldiers of the coalition army were not vegetarians, they were also men who had crawled and fought on the battlefield, so they quickly spontaneously formed a group at several large intersections to resist the attacks of these miners and blacksmiths, and the two sides soon got together.
Anyway, to put it bluntly, the tribal warriors are actually mobs who wander the sea, not the regular army of the Nord Kingdom, so their armor rate can only be described as regretful. In this way, the sharp axe can easily split the skull of the enemy, severing the limbs of the enemy, and making the duel even more bloody.
After a while of blood and severed limbs, the miners finally couldn't hold on. Although they have rich combat experience, the soldiers of the coalition army are not the first brother to go to the battlefield, although the battlefield was once stale, but slowly, the balance of victory is still tilted towards the coalition army.
Experienced miners were aware of this, so they retreated with the help of buildings and various obstacles. The miners in the rear even demolished the houses and used the longship as a roof in the middle of the road as a cover, while the warriors in front quickly flipped over the longboat to avoid the arrows and axes of the pursuers.
It was a very effective move, and although the bunker was rudimentary, it did save some defeats. As more and more miners joined the battle with large quantities of freshly baked throwing axes and arrowheads, the coalition offensive was gradually curtailed. Several of the Jarrs noticed this, but even when Skoll himself led the charge, he was driven back by a large number of throwing axes and arrows. Alan also organized a group of death squads to outflank them from the flanks and rear, but the miners were also on guard, so these death squads really died.
The original good raid turned into a tug-of-war, which made the morale of the coalition soldiers a little low, but the Yars didn't care, anyway, their main purpose was not to take down this settlement, and it was just right to take advantage of the time to move the looted materials onto the ship first, and the right should be compensated, so as not to steal chickens and lose rice when they can't get it.
Sure enough, before it was dark, a low horn came from the side of the coalition ship. Several Yar frowned, worthy of "tooth hunting", and the reaction was really fast.
Yarsibelius was incredulous when he first received the news that his garrison had been attacked, and he could not imagine that attention had been paid to him, but soon this disbelief turned into anger, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the whole army to turn around, leaving only a few light longships symbolically following the Svadian fleet to make his position clear.
He wants to remind those fools who have forgotten the power of "tooth hunting" to recall the horror of being slaughtered.
When he returned to his camp, he smiled contemptuously, there were many ships in the offshore waters, but they were all in a heap, some of them had not even finished boarding, and the fleeing warriors were being hunted down by their angry people.
Hmph, a rabble.
"Flotilla, another flotilla is coming!" Sibelius turned around with a frown, and sure enough, two more large flotillas appeared on the surface of the sea, rushing straight behind them.
"Hmph, I see, I see!" Sibelius sneered, "'Shark', 'Blood', 'Frost Swallow', 'Chillclaw', and 'White Gull', very good, very good. He then ordered "to attack the enemy forces in front of you with all your might, and kill them all before 'Shark' and 'Blood' rush over." ”
"Wow!"
The warships frantically charged the sea, and sure enough, the three chaotic troops were simply vulnerable, the whole fleet completely lost its control, and all the ships scattered and fled, unable to organize effective resistance at all, and quickly dispersed. Behind them, "Crazy Shark" and "Bloody" didn't expect their allies to be defeated so quickly, so they turned around and prepared to flee the battlefield. However, how could the arrogant "Tooth Hunter" let go of the king 8 Dan who offended him?
Sibelius naturally won't, looking at the ship with his head scurrying, he sneered, and ordered, "Leave those cowards who escaped, turn around, and kill the two things that don't know whether they are alive or dead." At the same time, on the cargo ship, Mu and Norton were sitting on two small boxes playing cards, on the cards, the Nord forces used by Norton had been beaten by the Kugit forces used by Mu, and even King Ragnar was already crumbling. While Norton was looking at the cards in his hand and meditating, a sailor suddenly ran over, "Chief, the king ship of 'Tooth Hunter' is coming at us!"
"Oh?" Norton threw down the cards in his hand, and Huo Di stood up, "Boss, as you said, he rushed towards us!"
"Needless to say," Mu looked at the cards that had been scattered on the deck with some pity, and deeply doubted whether Norton had suddenly opened his mind, "Instead of chasing those routs who are not good at chasing and have no oil and water, it is better to attack us, not only can we avenge with one arrow, but also make a small profit, if I were Sibelius, I would do the same." ”
At this moment, a drum beat suddenly sounded on the observation deck.
"Oh, you've arrived. ”
"Light the fire, release the arrows!"
A squad of archers rushed to the side of the ship, and the deputy set fire to the arrow-soaked hay wrapped in black oil, and then a rain of arrows went out. At the same time, he quickly crouched down, while the deputy also picked up the shield that was placed aside, covering both of them inside.
Seeing the sparse rain of arrows and the cargo ship that turned in a hurry, Sibelius sneered, and then simply ordered, "Bow and arrow, anti... Before he could finish his words, he felt a heat burning in his lower body, and then a fierce flame suddenly rose under his royal ship, and then spread rapidly. The waves stirred up by the hull would bring up a spark, which quickly ignited the sails and oars, so that the huge king ship completely lost power.
"Hunter Fangs" were stunned by this sudden fire, they only knew that water and fire were incompatible, but they had never seen this kind of flame that could burn on the surface of the water... No, it's not like they've never seen it, it's just that this possibility is too terrifying.
"This is ... We are finished, we are finished, we are finished!" suddenly there was a cry of despair in the fleet, and then the whole fleet began to be confused.
Among the various settlements of the Black Sea archipelago, such a legend circulated. Many of the Nords who drowned in the sea lost their way to the God-King's throne, so they had to return to their homeland on instinct. Sometimes, at night, you can see flames burning out of thin air on the shore of the camp. Sometimes in mid-air, sometimes on the water. The more courageous Nords naturally went back to see what was going on, and often never came back. Eventually, a brave lucky man returned in a tattered boat, and told the villagers a terrible truth, that is, when you get close to the fires, they will run away, and if you continue to pursue, he will lead you to a place where the sea is complicated, and let you drown, so as to soothe the grievances of the dead. Therefore, whenever a fire is seen on the shore at night, all the Nords will close their doors and not go out, for fear of provoking anything unclean.
However, the people of the "Tooth Hunter" watched the sailors on the deck of the king's ship scream and turn to ashes, and only then did they realize that it was nightfall, and this mass of ignorant fire was obviously much more manic than the little ones who were fighting on the shore.
For the Nords who believe in ghosts and gods, there is nothing more than this nameless fire and their fear, coupled with the slowly burned king ship and the wailing of the sailors on board, finally broke the last psychological defense line of these originally heroic men, so, in the blink of an eye, "Hunting Teeth" The fleet was in disarray, and the ships that were surrounded inside were rushing to the left and right, hoping to rush out, while the outside was turning the bow of the ship, and they were not giving in, and even all the sailors on board gave up hope of escape, and fell on the deck, praying incessantly, hoping that these undead would spare themselves. So the ship collided with each other, and every moment someone fell into the water, and every moment someone was hit on the head and bled out. This chaos stirred up more sparks, more sails. The flame that found the fuel quickly burst into a hideous evil smile, and the fire quickly spread, burning the sky red.
Norton and the people on board weren't too alarmed, after all, it wasn't the first time they'd seen such a scene. Norton looked at the burned red clouds, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, he just walked in front of Mu and sat down, and said, "Come, let's do it again." ”
However, for the other tribes, this scene was a miraculous existence, so they even forgot about rowing, and just stared at the flames in a daze, and went with the flow. It wasn't until Nodi regrouped the scattered ships and turned to rush towards Tooth Hunter that they reacted and turned their heads to kill the Tooth Hunters, who had no intention of fighting.
There was no suspense in this battle, and the already frightened "Fang" warriors surrendered without any resistance, and surrendering to the enemy seemed to be insignificant rather than being killed by something incomprehensible.
The battle on the sea soon came to an end, and they failed to capture Sibelius, for he had already burned to the ground with his ship. The rest of the matter is simple, the five tribes alliance came to the "Hunting Fang" garrison again, and the last clansmen of the "Hunting Tooth" saw the soldiers coming to the city, and naturally knew what was going on, so, while the enemy had not yet landed, they took out all the wine, all the meat and fish, ate nonsense, and then picked up the axe, walked onto the beach with a full belly, ready to meet the enemy. This is the first time in their lives that they have eaten to the end, but it is estimated that it will also be the last. As Nord's proverb goes, "It is better to keep the wine in your stomach than to spill it." ”
The overlord of the Black Sea, the powerful "Tooth Hunter" tribe, finally, on this day, declared extinction.
With a terrible scream, the last cavalryman in red robes fell from his horse, and the plains of Swadia returned to peace. Soon a group of horsemen followed the signposts lined up with corpses, looked around, and one of them reported to the leader.
"Big sister, this should be the last one, and no one ran away. ”
"Very good," the leader of the team, known as the eldest sister's leader, pulled the reins of the horse and let his horse spin in place, "The days are still long to recover the arrows that have been fired." ”
"Gotcha!" the rider bowed from his horse, dismounted with a few of his men, found a corpse for each of them, stepped on his waist, and with a force of both hands, the arrow pulled out a blurred piece of flesh. The riders didn't care to remove the pieces of flesh and rub them with their robes, leaving the arrows shiny as new.
This arrow is not simple, it is a distinctly three-edged armor-piercing cone with barbs. This shape doubles its lethality, even against the bright armor of the Swadia heavy cavalry, shooting on these scouts with only simple light armor, there is no doubt that they are terrible ghosts seeking their lives. Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and the extremely high material requirements, only the Virgian Marksmen are generally equipped on a large scale. But judging from the armor and clothing, these riders are all Kujits, and the craftsmanship and materials of Kugit cannot make such fine arrows, so they can only be trophies from the battle against Vegia, which is absolutely precious to the Kujits, which is why they will collect arrows so sparingly.
Of course, these riders naturally scavenged for steel swords, iron helmets, and even simple chain mail vests to compare with their own armor. In the end, with extreme reluctance, the eldest sister forcibly ordered the crossbow arrows of the detective to be included in his quiver. There is no way around it, as crossbow arrows are shorter than bows, which also means that when you shoot from a bow, they will feel quite poor. However, in this situation, there is no way to pick and choose.
The eldest sister looked at the battlefield and almost cleaned up, and with a wave of her hand, several people quickly got on their horses and quickly disappeared on the boundless horizon.
