From the mouths of the dead mountain people, Marcus derives information on how many people his opponent has.

Then he divided his men into three divisions, his own team plus Bol twenty-five.

The other forty were divided into two teams of twenty each.

Of the two teams, one team will set off first, explore the path as fast as possible, clear the obstacles, and make a mark.

After a while, they slowed down most of their speed, waited for the second team to catch up, and after the two teams were mixed, they sent a third of the soldiers who still had enough strength to continue their journey.

Marcus's team has always maintained a steady pace to minimize physical exertion.

In the middle of the night, the three teams met.

By this time the people had gone out of Durham County and approached the territory of Jerey County.

One of the Marcus soldiers, who had been from the county, proposed, "My lord, we are on our way all the time, and it is unlikely that the Vikings will not be seen yet, and I want to climb over this hill, and in the forest not far ahead, they are definitely there." ”

By this time the night was deep, and the moonlight in the sky was faint, and even with torches in hand, the speed of movement was slow.

And walking around with torches, the light may have alerted the Vikings.

"Is there another way?"

"There's a fork in the road around here, it's a little harder to walk, you have to go halfway up the mountain, but you can go straight out, into the forest, and when the Vikings pass through, beat them!"

"Okay, rest in place, and after a while, it's not so dark, and we'll start to leave."

Marcus left fifty men behind to defend the place with a numerical advantage, and after daybreak, let them advance directly to attract the attention of the Vikings.

And he led a dozen people into the forest in advance to ambush, waiting for the opportunity to give this group of demons a sword.

After agreeing on a time, around four o'clock in the morning, Marcus personally led the team into this shortcut.

And this road is not only difficult to walk, it is simply dangerous!

If you don't do it too much, you may fall into the air and fall into the valley hundreds of meters deep.

But it's also a lot to shorten the distance.

It was only an hour, and a dozen people led by Marcus, with their hatred for the Vikings, no one was afraid, and all of them passed through the dangerous road.

Anger is one of the strongest human emotions, and it can force you to reach your limitless potential!

……

Just after five o'clock in the morning, the light gradually appeared.

The Moon is wirelessly close to the Sun – never intersecting.

As soon as one is fully present, the other will be completely swallowed up.

Light and darkness intertwine, and the earth enters a special posture.

The dark clouds above were pierced by red fire, and the dark clouds struggled to resist, but the clouds scattered more and more.

The forest meadows below the ground, insects crawling, birds flying out of the forest, and the pre-dawn dawn has arrived.

This group of Vikings had eaten and drunk enough yesterday, robbed and killed everything, and they were not familiar with this territory, so they did not have the idea of getting up immediately, but just sent people into the vicinity, found some water sources to come back, and waited for the light to be more obvious before leaving.

Alger opened his eyes at the first glimmer of sunlight.

He doesn't sleep much, and he wakes up at the slightest hint of wind and grass.

He's been killing so many people lately that when he closes his eyes, he feels like someone is choking his neck.

Sleep is currently just a life-sustaining act for him, and it is difficult to enjoy.

And he told himself that there was no need to worry, that this was the only way to become a great man!

Any legendary Viking hero, the experience is extraordinary.

As soon as Alger woke up, the big bear also woke up, and the two of them, as leaders, naturally did not need to go to fetch water for vigil.

"Damn, there are so many bugs in this place." Inge took a sip and got up to move his muscles.

Then towards a large tree, he vented his Viking spring water.

"Get out of the way and pee!"

Alger noticed that Inger was sleepy-eyed, so he walked to the tree next to him and pulled out his crotch!

The anger almost scraped out with a sword.

Then he picked up a stone next to him and threw it directly.

If you can't dodge, you can't spoil the women of the god world casually in the future,

Inge cursed and left the tree to moisten another new tree.

The two of them get along with each other in a very rude way on a daily basis, and their heads will bleed if they don't do anything wrong.

But each other is the only friend of the other party at the moment.

Then more and more Vikings got up, and they also did the same thing, provoking Alger to scold,

He loved cleanliness so much that he was like his sword, and he had to pull it out and wipe it every day, until the light on it could reflect his face.

……

"Let's compare launches."

"Bet on what?"

"Next time, if you grab a woman and gold and silver, deduct the chief's, and this person will enjoy it first."

When several Vikings get together and pollute the earth while discussing the next evil deeds that will be committed,

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look!"

The group of Vikings, who had been lazy just now, "collected the birds and returned to their cages", and quickly returned to Alger's side to report.

Then find a good position and hide against the woods.

Not far away, Alger saw a group of regular soldiers in armor appear, unsure how many had come.

"Hit? Alger. ”

"Look again."

As soon as Alger finished speaking to Inge, the group of Marcus' men suddenly drew their bows and arrows and fired them out of the woods.

Now Alger knew that the men had found themselves.

Due to the obstacles and shelter in the forest, Alger did not attack or retreat immediately, and he thought that he could wait and see.

The appearance of this group of soldiers drew the attention of all the Vikings, and they didn't pay attention to Marcus in the rear at all, and led people to approach quietly.

When the back of a Viking appeared in front of Bol, she gently removed the bow behind her, breathing heavily.

She was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to kill a few more.

Four other soldiers too, with their bows drawn, waited for Marcus' eyes.

Marcus looked at things ten meters away, and it was already mushy, and there was not much difference between night and day.

But because of this special ability, he can guess how far away he is from the enemy by the strength of the light changes while he is traveling.

Marcus shook his head, put down a few bows and arrows, and then quietly stepped forward a meter or two, feeling it, Marcus raised his arm again...... Fall!

Shout......!

When the first bow and arrow flew through the woods, Alger's ears twitched.

He is also a powerful seaman, and his ears and eyes are extremely sharp in the waves.

You can even hear the sound of the water changing direction!

With a faint shock in the air, he suddenly became alert and turned back as soon as possible.

I saw one of my men hit by an arrow in the back and screamed in pain.

"Someone!"

Twenty-three Viking warriors drew their swords and drew their bows, and the Vikings used shields, swords, and bows.

They use whatever weapon can kill people.

Two Vikings pulled their Viking bows and fought back.

The outflanked soldiers in the woods, the moment Marcus drew his weapon, instantly roared angrily, wanting his companions outside to hear and destroy this group of Viking demons here.

The sound passed through the trunks of the trees and into the clouds, and the birds that hid in the trees no longer watched the play, but flew out one after another.

The fifty people outside, too, drew their weapons and raised their small shields, led by a veteran, and launched a charge.

The faith of vengeance spurs them on,

Raise courage with the excitement of more bullying less,

I'm going to kill myself today!

Alger didn't know how many people came in total,

At this time, if you run out again, there is no obstacle to block it, and your whereabouts will be exposed to the sun, so choose to go further in.

"Come with me!"

The Vikings no longer fought back, and scattered into an umbrella shape, with Alger and Inge rushing to the front, killing the blood in the forest.

A few more bows and arrows were fired, and a Viking fell, but the forest was not small, and Alger and the others were not in love with war, and only a few dozen people from Marcus could sneak attack, but they couldn't stop them from escaping.

The Vikings had amazing foot strength, but there were so many obstacles in the forest that several people tripped and had to stop to help while running.

"I'm coming!"

Facing a group of Divine soldiers rushing towards him, Alger raised his sword diagonally downward, shaking it slightly, like the waves of the sea.

He can kill on land, and even stronger in the sea!

Handsome!

A sound similar to the sound of a wave rolling up an object emanated from his sword, and as his sword scraped past, the four soldiers felt a chill in their throats...... It turned out to be his own blood, and then he touched his neck and fell to the ground.

After Alger broke off in person, Inge didn't leave him, and the two of them went one after the other, like a storm and clouds, and instantly put down six people.

"Women?"

At this time, the "Bol" who led these six people also came into Alger's sight.

When Pol saw Alger and Inge, he also remembered yesterday's tragic woman.

She quickly drew her bow and aimed at the demon!

She knew that her strength could not compete with men, so she practiced archery and wanted to become a marksman.

"A woman should lie in bed and be insulted by a man!"

This was the idea of Inge the Great Bear, who raised his Viking sword and emitted a terrifying aura no less than that of Alger.

"I'll grass your horse's Viking!" Pol's face turned red - this is anger!

At this moment, even if you die in battle, you have nothing to fear.

Her archery posture has never been so standard, almost perfect, but luck is on Inge's side.

The arrow flashed over Inge's shoulder, blocking his tracks.

When Inge steadied and glared at Bol, ready to take another step and slaughter her......

Another barrage of exclamations!

The Vikings who rushed ahead are back.

Just now they entered a very open space in the middle of the forest, with few obstacles.

Because this was one of the resting places for the forest keepers here before last night, all the trees that blocked the way were uprooted.

But in the middle of the night, these forest guards found that there were Vikings, and they fled immediately, and went back to report to the local knights as soon as possible.

At this time, the well-groomed open ground just allowed Marcus's sword to be unobstructed and unleashed at will.

He sprang out like a ghost, his sword up and down, his shoulders striking once with each flash, but never looking back.

Alger and Inge killed six people in an instant, and he killed seven people alone in an instant!

The Vikings, who did not go to "Valhalla", were forced to retreat.

Alger and Inge didn't know why, but they expected that there were many people in ambush ahead, so they let Pol go.

They chose a wooded spot in front of them, didn't care about anything, and rushed all the way.

In just ten minutes before and after the fierce battle, dozens of people fell in the forest.

In the end, there were only ten people left around the sword wolf and the big bear, but they had already thrown off their pursuers, found a stream in the forest, and ran along this stream to a clearing - there were two roads ahead, and they didn't know which one to choose?

Inge glanced at Alger, who replied, "Either way, there's no way, we'll fight a way." ”

This is the pride of the Viking warriors, the confidence of Alger.

But a cold voice came from behind the Vikings, and then ten people appeared.

Inge saw the woman just now, and there was a man with a different shape of armor on his body, who was obviously a "knight".

Seeing that the number of the other party was equal to his own, Yingge was not afraid, and even spoke obscenities,

"I've slept with men and women, but I haven't slept with women who look like men."

The other Vikings laughed and chimed in.

When Pol was chasing just now, he tripped over a branch and broke his right arm, which was already very difficult to catch up with at the moment, but it was difficult to draw the bow, so he could only hold the sword with his left arm.

But she still pulls out, she wants to fight!

"What's wrong?" Alger didn't feel right, he saw the men he brought out, and he was trembling!

"Chief...... This person...... He...... Devil!"

One said, two said...... In the end, all eight nodded in agreement.

Inge and Alger gripped the Viking sword at their waist and made preparations for battle.

"He's fast, Chief!"

"Shut up!"

Alger drew his sword, still shaking his sword horizontally.

This stance is flexible, and after swinging, you can turn into the mid-section sword position that you are best at at any time.

His ears twitched, too, listening for the sounds.

Sometimes what the naked eye sees is not as fast as the ear hears.

Marcus knew that if he killed these two men, he would win.

He approached slowly, his hand holding the sword at his waist.

"Now with the wind, from fifteen meters to a rapid speed, when entering within four meters, it will be half a second faster than usual, I only need three swords in an instant, one sword is shaking, one sword is facing the left, one sword is straight stab, two people fall, I will win......"

"You think I'm dead!"

Inge watched Marcus come like this, and when Marcus was less than twelve meters away from Alger, he stepped forward first.

The giant Viking sword slammed into Marcus's head, trying to slap him into a meat sauce.

The big bear is tall, and Marcus judges that he is taller than Nanding, who he has fought before, and will be able to enter the range of his sword journey quickly.

He paused to adjust, his eyes flashing, and he didn't flinch.

His body was instantly lowered, his fingers dancing as if he was brushing towards the hilt of the sword, and the entire knight's sword ejected.

"How the can you be so fast!"

Inge has never seen this kind of "sword drawing method"!

When the two bodies were extremely close together......

Click, "bones shifted" sound!

With a flash of the sword, Inge felt that the soul was separated from the body!

When he came back to his senses, he fell to his knees.

And Marcus held back the pain...... Continue to face forward.

The pain in his shoulder tells Inge that this man is ridiculously strong!

10 meters ...... Nine meters ...... Eight meters.

The sun above is about to swallow up the clouds.

The earth entered the last darkness before dawn.

"God Odin protects me!"

Alger bared his teeth and sneered, a thrill that made him want to stop.

He put on a mid-section sword posture, and the light shone through, and a faint shadow appeared on both the man and the sword.

Inge watched this scene, and when Alger made this move, no one could get past his "sword shadow", not even himself.

But at this moment, he was shaken - I wonder how Alger could win against this knight?

At a distance of eight meters, Marcus raised his sword momentum, one foot forward, one foot back, his body lowered, his feet pressed the ground, and every inch of muscle power was mobilized by him.

Click!

Another bone shift!

Alger heard...... He knew what it was like, because his bones were about to break.

With such a high-intensity battle, no matter how strong a warrior is, he can't afford it, and after this fight, he will have to lie down for at least two months.

Brush!

Both of them drew their swords at the same time.

Alger is like an "arrow from the bow", but Marcus is like a "shooting star".

Faster, faster, stronger!

Touch!

Alger resisted Marcus's first sword in the middle of the game, and was about to pull out the perfect stabbing distance, but Marcus instantly pressed his body together, and the two swords were entangled, and then he used more force to knock Alger away.

Just after a breath, three sword winds blew past the sword wolf's face, and finally the sword wolf was hit by a sword, and he retreated dozens of steps in pain before he came to his senses.

He could only insert his Viking sword into the ground, barely steady.

Alger was on his knees and holding his sword, sweating profusely, several broken bones, bleeding from his upper body, and his body nearly collapsed

But he laughed, because Marcus was more seriously injured, and each of the three sword winds just now entered his ears with the sound of "bones shattering".

This man's body is already overburdened, he is useless, useless!

Marcus also took a few dozen steps back at this time, supporting his body in the same posture as Alger.

Killing so many Vikings, as well as defeating Inge, overburdened his body and gradually lost consciousness.

Alger gripped the Viking sword, which had been given to him by King Ragnar, and laughed maniacally.

As soon as his laughter came out, the black cloud that was supposed to disappear stopped dispersing!

"Of all the opponents I've ever faced, there's no one better than you, and it's a shame."

"You too, in terms of swordsmanship alone...... I'd like to call you the strongest!"

Hearing such a terrible laugh, Marcus endured the great pain and raised his sword again, no matter how many bones were broken.

"You!" For the first time, Alger is scared in a fight!

None of the other Vikings thought it was too late to help, so with the last of his strength, Alger pulled out his sword from the ground and held it straight in front of the door.

Rumble!

When two swords collide, sparks are stirred...... Alger flew out with a sword!

After the sword was swung, the sky surged, and the light of dawn finally broke through the dark clouds and entered the earth, and finally there was only one color left in the sky - dawn!

Before Marcus fell, he heard the sound of fierce fighting...... But it's none of my business anymore......

……

……

When Marcus opened his eyes again, he found himself in a carriage, surrounded by the voices of soldiers and Bol.

"You're finally awake!"

"Where are you going?"

"Go home, we uphold your will, the team meets, and kill everyone before the sun goes down!"

"Those two ......"

"We forced me to jump off the valley, and I probably have already returned to 'Valhalla' to reunite......"

Three days later, on the eve of the return to the castle.

Inside the carriage, Pol said while changing the dressing, "Today, I gave you a nickname and told the soldiers, do you want to listen?"

For Marcus, nicknames are ugly names used to intimidate others, such as "Boneless" and "Snake Eyes", and he is not very interested.

But after a while, I asked curiously, "What to take?"

"I said that when you draw your sword, break through the black sky and fill the earth with light."

"So?"

"Dawn!"

"Average."

Marcus read this name seventeen or eighteen times in his heart, and then fell asleep tired from the wound, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

……

……

"Excalibur of Dawn"

This nickname followed him for the rest of his life.
