Chapter 13: The Witch

After killing the two villagers who led the way, cutting off their heads and chopping the corpses into meat sauce. Artoria hastened to make the following judgments: if she went back like this, her newfound prestige would be crumbled, if it spread, it would be a big blow to her prestige, that she would have to fight against the Burgundians, and that the matter would definitely boost the arrogance of the Burgundians if she was to fight again, and that the enemy had prepared hastily, and that there should be no oil or stones on the walls.

Of course, the final judgment is the most important thing. can guarantee that he will not die on the battlefield for such a ridiculous reason. If that's the case, it's a joke. I don't know how Egil will feel when he hears about it. No, no, no, I will laugh like a joke when I'm frustrated, and then find a way to find another woman. I just didn't have to go through the clutch formalities...... Damn, shit, shitโ€”it's not going to make that bastard happy. Definitely to live, and outlive him. After watching him be buried, he went to commit suicide. That's cool enough.

So, just like the mainstream aesthetics of the European continent. Artoria, who is not plump enough, is not a beauty. She didn't have enough confidence in herself.

That's it.

With this in mind, Artoria ordered the city to be stormed. And took the lead, rushing to the front. And the soldiers at the head of the city saw her wearing special armor like this, and screamed so loudly that they rushed at the first person. Naturally, most of the firepower was put into the attack on her. However, Artoria's cursed armor was able to completely ignore the arrows and move on.

"It's okay! They don't have a ladder, they don't have a siege cone! Can they still climb up with their bare hands?!" Seeing that such arrows were ineffective, there was a little panic on the city. Immediately afterwards, the garrison officers of Groningen cheered up their subordinates in this way. Calm people's hearts.

Of course, Artoria didn't have the skill of climbing the walls with her bare hands. But that wasn't to say that she couldn't transform into a humanoid battering ram - with ten meters to go, Artoria sped up and rushed towards the gate at a speed that was completely unattainable by a human in heavy armor, and raised her sword aloft-

"What the hell is she trying to do?" both the city's garrison and the Vikings beneath the city were surprised by Artoria's behavior.

Of course, the answer was soon revealed - the moment she rushed to the gates, Artoria swung her long sword and slashed down. With an unstoppable force, he struck the iron-clad oak gate and split a hole in the middle - and then, and then, and again, a total of three swords. Crack the latch of the cast iron material. Then he kicked open the deformed gate.

โ€œ......โ€

"What are you still stunned about?!Kill in! Groningen's wealth is already beckoning to you!" he saw his own warriors stunned. Artoria shouted. After that, he still rushed into the city first.

The city was in an uproar. With less than 200 men and poorly equipped city defenses, no 500 Vikings could be defeated under any circumstances. The winner was already known at the first time the city was broken. Watch Artoria's incredible performance. Many city defense soldiers screamed "monster!" and then directly dropped the long contradiction card and fled in embarrassment. And the rest was also killed by the Vikings, whose morale was high and they were screaming for a fierce battle.

At this moment, it was as if Groningen had stripped off all its clothes and had its hands and feet tied.

The Vikings didn't choose to raid in the first place. Instead, with a fanatical, greedy, but suppressed gaze, he looked at Artoria with a blank eye.

They are waiting for orders.

At this moment, Artoria's majesty was finally officially established. The Vikings worshipped the powerful, especially the ones who brought them wealth, victory, and glory. It's clear that Artoria is such a person.

"Three days - you can do whatever you want in this city. But three days later, at twelve o'clock at noon. I want you all to cease and return to your troops, and to drive out all those who are still alive from the city, and gather them together outside the city. No one is missing. Whoever is a second too late will be killed by him! Do you understand?!Disband!!"

After receiving such an order, the Vikings cheered and galloped towards the city of Groningen. Smash open the closed door with an axe, and then scavenge, gathering everything of value. Put it in the pocket you brought. Occasionally, he resisted, so he didn't say a word, and cut off the head of the resistant with an axe.

The shouting of rage, the crying of the woman, the screams of the woman after being annihilated, the sound of all kinds of fragile objects falling to the ground, and the sound of the flames rising were all intertwined. The whole of Groningen was suddenly resurrected from the dead silence that had existed before. Although the sound is similar to that of a near-death scream. It's quite a sense of returning to the light.

However, Artoria was immersed in it and couldn't help herself.

Artoria, queen of the Celts and queen of the Norman kingdom, is a terrifying ruler with infinite violence in her blood. Especially after marrying Egil. That violent factor has been subtly influenced by Egil and has begun to develop in the direction of metamorphosis.

The specific situation is like this: "Uh-he-he-hea, uh-huh-huh, aha-hahaha-haha......" It's like a hungry demon, and the laughter is terrible.

Eventually, the merchant who happened to pass by the city and fled quickly described the city as if it were enveloped in a terrifying inky black aura. And after that, Artoria's actions also made the Burgundians believe that she was a witch, a demon, and a heretic who should be burned at the stake. There were even priests from Burgundy and France who applied to the Holy See to have Artoria excommunicated. However, in the end, due to Innocent III's strategy to exploit the Norman kingdom, the diplomatic mediation of diplomats sent by Egil and the large-scale bribery of Roman Catholics failed to materialize. However, throughout France as well as Burgundy. There is a consensus that Artoria is a witch.

This is where the legend begins. The witch who crawled out of hell and wore ink-black armor used her evil magic to seduce the Norman king, thus taking control of the entire Norman kingdom, using Normandy as a bridgehead to carry out an attack on France.

So, these guys completely ignore the fact that it was France and Burgundy who first declared war on the Norman kingdom. I just remember that I was a victim.

Such a guy will be slaughtered. was killed by an old friend, a woman and a child. And there should be no complaints, because they brought it on themselves.

When the robbery began, Artoria thought for a moment, and then called back some of them, dozens of Vikings. He commanded them to guard the four gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Although Artoria promised that they would be given an extra reward after that, and that someone would rotate after half a day. But the group of Viking warriors was still a little upset. But that's okay, as long as you can complete the task well.

And just like that, the slaughter continued. Because the city gate was blocked in advance, only a small number of people who reacted first understood and successfully escaped. And the remaining 8,000 citizens, rich and poor. The only fate that awaits them is death.

Three days later. It's not fun yet, though. But the Vikings didn't dare to try to provoke their new leader. One by one, they all cheered up, carrying the burden of gold, silver, jewelry, precious porcelain, fine fabrics, and incense, threatening the less than 5,000 citizens who still survived and walked out of the city little by little. If anyone complains, or walks a little slower, or a stumble and falls to the ground. Or maybe maybe the Vikings were upset.

will be cut off by the head.

Although after three days and three nights of carnival-like robbery action. But the Vikings were still in good spirits. Maybe it's a little sickly, or maybe it's a little too many times and the body is a little weak. However, this feeling of gunsmoke and blood is not unpleasant.

And so the slaughter began.

Artoria ordered the Vikings to divide the crowd into groups and then slaughter them in batches. Kill your wife in front of your husband and kill your husband in front of your wife. Kill their children in front of their parents. Kill their parents in front of their children. That's it, little by little. In total, about 5,000 citizens screamed. Weeping bitterly, and some even fainted. However, there was no resistance at all. Because Artoria, fanatical, invincible, like a witch in hell, Artoria was right in front of them. Frightened by the horror of the Celtic queen, no one wanted to resist, like a wailing lamb in front of him, and could not even escape.

In the end, all 4,794 citizens of Groningen were slaughtered. The corpses were scattered around the city of Groningen. After this, Artoria ordered the city to be set on fire. With all the oil looted from the city, nearly 500 Vikings were busy for another half day, turning the whole of Groningen into a huge burning torch. After that, he returned with blood and a large amount of loot......
