Chapter 6 A Woman for All Men, A Man for All Women
Siffer, Norway.
The court of the Blonde King.
Wearing an iron crown and blond hair as tousled as a lion, Harald sat in a high-backed chair.
He looked about fifty or sixty years old, his body was quite strong and strong, and he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
But now the mad king of Norway was humming softly: "In the spring he has a lot of seeds to sow, and he works very hard." β
"Then he's going to go to sea, to the Hebrides, to the Irish land, and he calls it a spring outing."
"He returns home in the middle of summer, and when the seeds are ripe and harvested, he goes out to sea again until the first month of winter has passed, which he calls an autumn trip."
Knock knock!
The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the echo of the song.
The old man's anxious voice came: "King, Olaf III has made an alliance with the Lord of Finland!" β
The blonde king said casually: "This clever coward didn't even look for his mother this time? β
"It's a pity that this time he still has to rely on women to save him."
The blonde king straightened his back: "My Minister of Military Affairs, what do you think of launching a general attack now?" β
The old man shook his head again and again: "King, Bergen's city defense is too perfect, so we will lose too many troops, and those war chiefs will not agree." β
The Blonde King laughed, "What if I don't even want a silver coin?" β
The old man's eyes widened: "This...... What about your fighters? β
"I will give them a satisfactory reward."
Harald, the blonde king, stood up, raised his axe-like face, and looked at the many magnificent islands off the coast of Siffol.
From afar, these islands look like jewels scattered across the ocean, some surrounded by towering mountains, others surrounded by a long stretch of coastline.
Watching the waves crashing against the reef, the blonde king suddenly said, "My father, the black-haired Hafdan, had a previous marriage and a son with the same name as me, Harald. β
"But this brother of mine died when he was 10 years old."
"Maybe that's why my dad was cold to me from a young age, and he went to Valhalla when I was 10 years old, haha."
"When he was still alive, I liked to see deer when I was in a bad mood."
"I've found that females are very picky and are only attracted to bighorn males and mate with their calves."
"In this way, the other pathetic bucks without forked antlers were ruthlessly eliminated, and soon the deer herd completed a metamorphosis."
The old man listened quietly.
Listening to the blonde king say slowly: "Many years have passed, and the hind has not changed, and it is still as simple as ever. β
"For the sake of the females, the males have forked antlers."
"The long horns of the buck are so varied that I've even seen a large deer with more than thirty forks."
"Under the snow, it's like the deer of the four seasons - Durasor."
"I looked into its eyes, and suddenly an idea came to me."
"The hind will make the buck change, can I make the person change?"
The Blonde King raised his hand.
The palms of the aging but still powerful hands are closed: "For these animals with horns on their heads, it is common to use their horns to compete against each other. β
"It could be a female deer, or it could be a moss."
"On the snowy field, a herd of reindeer is foraging for food, and two bucks are fighting to grab the lichen under the snow."
"Before the fight begins, the two stags will spread out and be three to five meters apart, and then the two stag will accelerate towards each other and use their well-developed horns to hit their rivals."
"They also stand upright and hit each other on the head with their broad front hooves."
Then the two bucks retreated a few meters each, and then accelerated towards each other with their heads down.
"With a loud bang, the two bucks collided together, and each was ejected several meters, but they still did not give in to each other and continued to collide together."
"A lot of bucks get knocked out of their heads and even broken by their antlers in a fight."
"Some stag will be killed in the violent impact, but the antlers of the two deer are intertwined and cannot be separated, and the other surviving stag can only drag the corpse of the opponent to wander."
"This poor stag that survived can only wait until the opponent's corpse slowly decomposes, and has to live with the opponent's head until the spring of the next year, and when the horns on his head naturally fall off, he will have the opportunity to throw off the opponent's head and regain his freedom, the survival of the fittest, and the deer will constantly change according to environmental changes."
"In my opinion, Norwegians are also deer."
"Caesar is the man of all women, the woman of all men."
"I want to try to make this Hind that can change the Norwegians."
"I really want to see if people who were originally weak will become strong in the future?"
"Will those who were originally strong grow more forked antlers?"
The Blonde King looked in Bergen's direction.
The wind was blowing the tousled hair.
A maniacal grin broke into the corner of his mouth: "I sat on the throne when I was 10 years old, and there were more than thirty kingdoms in Norway at that time. β
"Every year I grow older, I destroy a nation!"
"Decades have passed, and there are only two kingdoms left in the land of Norway!"
"This is the last feast of war!"
"I'm going to see if that coward of Olaf III will grow big horns in front of the feast!"
"I want to see a corpse, I want to see half a human moaning and wriggling!"
"Lord of Finland? Let the sea wolves weigh him first and see if he is qualified for this feast! β
In many of the countries destroyed by the Blonde, a large number of refugees fled and emigrated in order to escape the fate of enslavement.
In addition to Shetland, Auckland, and the Faroe Islands, Iceland was also discovered by refugees at this time and became their new settlement.
Some fled, and some chose to join the Blonde King.
Aitrias is a surrendered war chieftain.
The battle against Olaf III can be called a key battle for the Blonde King to unify Norway.
According to the order, Atrias led ten warships under his command, like wolves on the Norwegian Sea, constantly harassing the Danish queen's milk delivery route.
When it comes to naval warfare, Aitrias has his own set of fixed tactics.
Before the battle begins, he will divide his pirate force into three parts.
In the first part, after obtaining accurate information about the caravan, it will select a suitable nearby island or reef group to prepare for an ambush.
After the caravan enters the predetermined ambush circle, it will take advantage of the ship's extreme speed to approach the merchant ship and then engage in a broadside battle.
Another group of pirates was tasked with intercepting the Danish ships that came to their aid after the merchant ships were attacked, buying enough time to raid.
The last group of pirates was responsible for cleaning up the battle after the battle, returning the spoils, wounded and captives to their base camps.
This tactic of 'breaking the whole into pieces and attacking on three fronts' is the key to Etellas playing the name of the Seawolf.
Even though the Danes managed to wipe out a small part of their main force, the other surviving pirates fled, and it won't be long before they recover like the Hydra of ancient mythology.
Cut off one head, grow two heads!
He was originally very fond of the name Hydra, but unfortunately it was taken by another pirate......
In addition to this fixed tactic, Etrias also has a set of intrigues that he can master.
The most commonly used is ridicule, which stimulates others to be angry and deceived.
Right now, for example, Aetrias stood at the bow of the ship and yelled at the docks, "The Lord of Bergen is a coward!" β
"You must miss the time when you were in your mother's arms and ate O!"
"I heard you're still looking for someone to form an alliance? I used to rely on my mother, but now I rely on my wife! β
"Everyone says that you are so brave that you don't dare to fight and run away!"
"You're weird and stupid, you're retarded and confused!"
"You are weak and cowardly, you are despicable and cynical!"
"I'm going to give you a nickname, I think it's good for the Viking bag!"
Etrias choked and slammed the charge, showing the Viking's top fighting skills.
While using foul language, he also made the younger brothers dance a mockery dance, trying to get Bergen's people out of the naval battle.
The Minister of War and Aircraft attaches great importance to this method of attack.
It is said that the spies got a little inside information from Denmark that the Queen's transport line was affected and the supply of soldiers in Bergen was starting to run short.
Therefore, the Minister of War and Aircraft ordered him to intensify and increase the number and intensity of his attacks on this long stretch of coast.
Atrias used to live quite well, robbing the boat every day, and it was good to have a safe harvest.
Available now.
"Don't pay attention to that piece of shit, the dog bit you, and you're going to bite it back?"
The docks, Bergen's guards said calmly.
The militiamen's teeth itched with anger, and they really wanted to fight sentences, but listened to the fancy and cool sentences of Etrias.
Even if you have been practicing for two and a half years, you can't compare to this notorious sea wolf!
Lift the axe and him?
I want to, but the impulsiveness of the past is gone.
Thinking of these painful experiences, under the strong pressure of the Guards, they endured!
The dock did not respond.
Atelias taunted for a moment, looked at the non-moving port, and waved his hand in annoyance.
The slightest reaction will be exciting.
But he didn't respond like a dead man, he had no passion at all, and his fighting sentences were uninspired.
It was also since they did not react and the transport lines stopped, that the harvest of the sea wolves has been dwindling day by day.
Truth be told, Aetrias was tired of doing this kind of raid every day, and he had no energy but nowhere to go.
Bergen is like a tortoise shell.
In the opportunist style of the sea wolves, if there is time to gnaw on the turtle shell, it is better to go to a place that is easy to bully and plunder.
But there is no way, the above requirements, only.
"Good news, Boss!"
At this time, the little brother standing on the watchtower ran over excitedly: "There is a signal from there, the blonde king has a new order, and a new target has been changed, so you don't have to stay in Bergen anymore!" β
"The signal says that the target this time is a big fat sheep!"
"Oh?"
Atrias immediately came to his senses, and asked with shiny eyes, "Who?" β
"It's the Lord of Finland, and the signal is that Olaf III is a new ally."
The younger brother said excitedly: "I have heard from Norwegian and Danish merchants that the lord of Finland comes from the royal family of the East and has countless secret treasures of the East!" β
"Now the glass cup sought after by the nobles of the northern world comes from the Lord of Finland!"
"A glass cup can be exchanged for a lot of gold!"
"It is no worse to rob him than to rob Olav III, and his ship does not have the walls of Bergen yet!"
The younger brother's tone became more and more excited.
Atelias instinctively cautious: "I heard that he defeated the Blood Axe King, how is the strength of the navy?" β
"Even if it's the Blood Axe King's navy, it's about the same size as ours."
The younger brother said disdainfully: "Even if he inherits the Navy of the Blood Axe King, there will be only a few hundred people at most. β
"Even if you rule the Finns and Slavs...... Do they know how to sail? β
"The navy is not something that can be built in a few years, and the really useful sea warriors of the Lord of Finland must be only a few hundred."
"It's all in our hunt, boss!"
That's true.
Atrias touched his chin.
Even if the size of this fat sheep's navy is beyond expectations, they must be loaded with logistics in order to enter the war.
These ten battleships of their own are lightly armed, and they can run away if they can't grab them.
Thinking of this, Etellas clapped his hands: "It's done!" β
"Send a signal to the brothers."
"Shift course and slaughter the big fat sheep of the north!"
Amid the howling of the Vikings, ten warships left Bergen.
Vondolph stood at the bow of the ship and drew out his monoscope.
With his eyes in the back, he tweaked his eyes and the first thing he saw was the magnificent fjord along the coast.
Towering mountains rise under clear blue skies and meet the ocean, with white sand stretching out to turquoise waters.
The breeze blew across the sea, bringing a hint of coolness, and also bringing information about the enemy ships: a total of ten Viking warships.
The mast is hung high with sails, painted with the coat of arms of the Blonde King, and next to it is a lifelike wolf's head.
Wolves in the sea?
That Norwegian pirate
The Norwegian message from the intelligence network flashed through his mind, and Vondolph asked, "Ava, how many kilometers do you think we are from them?" β
Ava silently turned her smart head melon, calculated for a few seconds, and said, "About 20 kilometers." β
"Sure?"
"I'm also Norwegian, and I grew up on a boat."
The Valkyrie was undulating, but Ava's body was steady.
Feng Daoff thought back to the athletic muscle lines he had seen and touched on her these days.
The red-haired princess practiced after BrΓΌnnhilde.
may be born with genetic problems, not as explosive as the silver-haired girl, but lighter, like the red-haired playful deer girl who came out of the magic forest.
Feng Daofu resisted the urge to brush his hair: "I'm about the same as you." β
Even if a telescope is used, the curvature of the earth is determined, and the human eye can only see 6~25 kilometers on the sea under a clear sky.
Based on the curvature and the equation, the distance can be roughly estimated.
20 kilometers is already a distance for pre-war preparations for a naval battle.
"Because of the obstruction of the coastline, it was discovered late, and according to the judgment of the lookout, the distance is 20 kilometers."
Douglas walked over like the wind and said the same number as them.
If you want to overcome the curvature problem, then climb a little higher and you can see further.
In the era of sail naval warfare, a lookout post would be set up on the highest main mast of the battleship, and the distance of vision could be extended to about thirty or forty kilometers by borrowing the height of the mast, but if there was a coastline to block the shadow of the ship, it was useless to stand high - and some people couldn't find the opponent under their noses when they played games.
"We are against the wind, and if we take the initiative to chase after it and the other party does not move, it will take about more than an hour."
The old captain gave an overview of the situation: "If we both want to fight, it will take about half an hour to enter the appropriate distance." β
Feng Dolph said: "It seems that the other side is going to fight. β
Within the telescope, ten Viking warships adjusted their direction and took the initiative to sail towards them with the help of a tailwind.
"Sage?"
Douglas looked at Vondolph for advice.
Feng Daofu nodded: "Just use this group of sea wolves as a sacrifice to kick off the legend of the Valkyrie!" β
The first naval battle is about to begin!
Thanks to the 500 points of the "nobles of the dogs", and thank you for the 100 points of "I plant flowers to see the world when I collect the knife".
