Chapter 9 My father-in-law resisted the pressure of me to steal the house
Blue sea and blue sky.
The Valkyrie, with elaborately sewn white sails hanging from a tall mast.
Dozens of thick dark brown sail ropes intertwined in the sunlight, like a mysterious veil draped over the girl's body.
Beautiful and light, full of temptation, but everywhere there is a killing of chickens, like a brilliant sword light on the deck.
Burst!
The blade of the sword pierced into the eye socket, and the tip of the sword peeked through the back of the head.
As soon as the blood bloomed, Feng Dolph had already moved his feet, and his two-handed sword sidestepped the attack of a Viking pirate.
Clang!
With a brief sound of gold and iron, Feng Daofu pulled out the opponent's gap with a slight force of his arms, and the backblade directly slashed through the pirate's throat.
Poof!
Two bodies fell back and forth.
Vondolph tilted his head, and his body brushed shoulders with the Viking tomahawk.
Call~
The tomahawk brought the wind, and Feng Dolph's voice was also brought with it: "I can't let you destroy my deck." β
Bang!
Before the axe hit the ground, there was a sharp pain in the chest and abdomen of the sneak attacker, and the whole person was kicked away, and the force was as great as being hit by a bull, and he didn't stop until his back hit the mast!
"Ahem, ahem!"
The sneak attack of Etrias instinctively coughed violently, and the severe pain in his body couldn't suppress the turbulent waves in his heart.
This cunning and experienced pirate leader, seeing the limitation of the vision of this full-body armor helmet, specially replaced the axe, and went around the blind spot of Feng Dolph's theoretical vision.
The green tendons on his neck were stretched, and he used all his strength to sneak attack, but he never thought that he would be dodged!
Or this kind of impartial, just right pace!
Swinging decks, noisy sea battlefields, how the hell is this done?!
"Specialty - Keen Eyesight, Difficulty in Vision Penalty -50%"
Vondolph: It's all up to me!
Atrias is not the only clever pirate.
The helmet dodge, and the ordinary attack Feng Dao directly ignored.
Clang!
The cuirass was slashed, Feng Daofu's body was motionless, but the pirate's tiger mouth was numb from the shock, and the Viking sword almost came out of his hand!
He froze for a moment.
With such a body, such full-body armor, what kind of monster is this?!
Escape!
To escape.
As soon as the pirate's body turned, his head flew up.
Vondolph wiped his sword against the corpse and led the ascetics to give the first group of Vikings to jump the gang head-on.
Blue sky and white clouds, seabirds soaring.
The waves roll and the bubbling waters crash against the hull.
On the swaying deck, a pitch-black figure walked on the ground.
Or a strange curved strike, or a powerful downward slash, or a screaming fury
Whether virtual or real, each sword is handled perfectly.
With each flicker of the sword light, blood burst out, and one pirate after another fell under Feng Daofu's sword.
In the blink of an eye, the pirates who rushed up on the first Viking warship have already fallen a blockbuster!
Blood flowed across the deck, and the ascetics easily controlled the situation.
The sailors made time to lock the crossbow crosshair onto the Viking warship on the left.
The second Viking ship that approached also had pirate archers.
But the Valkyrie has a draft of 2 meters alone, plus the height above the sea, the height difference between it and these Viking warships is huge, which is equivalent to a natural sea wall!
Not only is there a height disadvantage, but there is also a soft walled bunker surrounded by a hammock.
The first shot of a well-wound steel crossbow is also much faster than that of a bow.
Plus received the blessing of the Sage.
Sou!
Sou!
Sou!
The archers on the second Viking ship were baptized with crossbow arrows before they could finish their role.
"Ahh
Condescendingly, the power of the transbow at this distance was maximized, even the round shield could penetrate, and the rain of arrows swept like a scythe, and the pirates fell in patches, and the terrible sound of the wind carried the screams of the pirates before they died.
Etrias, who couldn't stand up with chest and abdominal pain, was completely sure that the slowdown of this sailing ship was a trap!
It's a trap, but it's also disdain!
Disdain for the Viking sea wolves!
It was as if he heard the Lord of Finland say contemptuously: "What if you have more ships and men." β
"As long as it is a broadside battle with scattered encirclement, there will inevitably be a time difference."
"I have the strength to crush all of you, I can sweep away a shipload of pirates in a short time, and I won't fall into a wheel war, which is destined for you to be a cheese delivered to your door!"
"When I set sail for you, the three goddesses of fate have already woven your ending!"
Crushing strength!
Naked impotence!
Etellas gritted his teeth unwillingly: "I want to."
Bang~
Heavy footsteps.
Vondolf raised his sword and walked towards Atrias.
With each step, the dark steel boots dragged sticky plasma.
The black clothes covered by the armor scorched violently with the sea breeze, and the thick smell of blood wafted in, as if they had drunk the blood of pirates.
This scene is like Baruseluk, a battlefield of conflict, bloodthirsty as wine, stepping on bloody mud and flesh
Etellas instantly changed his face and smiled flatteringly: "I am their captain Etellas, I surrender!" β
He showed his value for the first time, for fear of being cut by Feng Daofu with a sword.
"Oh?"
Feng Dolph stopped: "You are the head of the sea wolf?" β
Atelias nodded.
Vondolph pondered: "You should be able to land and resupply in the port of the Blonde King's Sifol, right?" β
Port of Sifuer?
Aterias, who was still relieving his pain, stopped breathing in an instant.
He cautiously asked, "Are you the Black Prince from the East, the detainment of the great gods, the master of the sea at the end of the world, the king of the Norse, the SΓ‘mi, the Finns, the Slavs, and some of the Norwegians?" β
As the spy said, this guy is very eloquent.
Feng Dolph didn't deny it: "I still like the way you paddled when you just rushed over." β
The corners of Atellas's mouth twitched, "That's because the legends I've heard are exaggerated, but now I know that you are far more powerful than legends." β
"You"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Vondolph interrupted his rainbow fart: "You guessed what I wanted to do?" β
Etrias looked at the slender V-shaped armor with a smirk: "You want to surprise the royal court of the blonde king?" β
"We can land and resupply in the port of Sifuer, but we can't get into the palace"
"That's enough."
Vondolph turned and walked to the bow.
Red-haired Ava followed and whispered, "Sifuel is the Blonde King's home base, and it's hard for us to have as easy as a raid on the Bloodaxe King. β
"Did you get the message and change your plans?"
As a personal guard and personal secretary, Ava sometimes helps to organize information, but the latest information is always known only to Vondolph.
It's just that the smart red-haired fawn thinks that her sage and husband will not do such a risky thing when she is not sure.
Vondolf was sure: "Sifol's spies saw the King of the Blonde leading a large army and launching a general assault on Bergen. β
When he received a telegram from the spy rabbit the other day, he didn't know how the Blonde King had persuaded his men to storm Bergen.
But as soon as the army is gone, Sifuor's defensive forces will definitely become empty.
It's a good time to steal a home!
What to do with Olaf III, the No. 3 father-in-law?
Anyway, the No. 3 father-in-law has been resisting pressure for so long, and it is nothing longer than that!
As a professional son-in-law, my father-in-law is moving forward with a heavy load, and my son-in-law has a quiet life with his father-in-law's wives and daughters, which is very reasonable!
However, if you want to succeed in stealing your home, you have to wait for the rear troops.
Adjust the team members, arrange the strategy, and by the way, talk to the young mother-in-law Ingrid, and come to a wave of exemption applications.
This is because although Sifuer's defense is empty, there are allies across the strait to guard the sea.
The geography of this piece of land is like the cone of a cone.
The pointed tip of the barrel is Bergen of Olaf III.
The circle below, with the sea in the middle, Sifford on one side and Jutland in Denmark on the other.
In this chaotic Middle Ages, the wife of the Blonde King, Laghill, is the daughter of Erik, the Grand Duke of Jutland in Denmark.
Coincidentally, Olaf III was not only the son of the Queen of Denmark, but also the son-in-law of the Grand Duke of Denmark.
In other words, this battle for the reunification of Norway can be said to be a Danish son-in-law VS a Danish son-in-law.
This shows the strong influence of Denmark's geography on Norway.
Unlike his son-in-law, Vondolph, he is a pure Norwegian son-in-law!
In terms of Norway's claim to the throne, it's much higher than them!
Everyone depends on their father-in-law for food, and no one is more noble than anyone else!
In short, with the navy of Grand Duke Eric of Jutland, even if Sifuel is now empty of defensive forces, he cannot enter with great fanfare.
You have to play some tricks in order to succeed and get a cream puff ruthlessly.
These sea wolves are good for leading the way.
Etellas also understood what Vondolph meant.
He reluctantly stood up, looking at the strong ascetics who were staring at him, and didn't dare to get too close: "Do you need to help persuade you to surrender?" β
Vondolph: "No. β
Etellas was stunned: "Huh? β
Vondolph looked at the Viking warship approaching a few dozen meters away.
The fate of the first two Viking ships was so miserable that the sea breeze blew the screams in the air, and the Vikings sensed that something was wrong, and like frightened rabbits, they rowed their oars and turned their bows one by one.
These pirate longships are nimble and have the precedent of bad luck for those who came before them, and the Valkyrie has the advantage of speed and is unlikely to jump to capture them one by one.
Anyone who runs away from a ship will affect the plan to steal the family.
Get rid of all the boats in one go, and by the way, knock these leading parties again.
"Molotov cocktail preparation."
"Yes!"
The sailors lifted the sackcloth from the ballista.
Atelias was immediately attracted by the framed crossbow.
He was shocked and thought: this is even better than a Roman crossbow. Wrong!
Etellas's eyes widened as he watched as the eight ballistas condescendingly aimed at the Viking warship dozens of meters away!
Call~
One by one, incendiary bombs were ignited!
Atellas panicked.
The ribs of the Viking warships were made of strong oak, and the ribs were wrapped with an inch thick hoop plates, which were made of overlapping oak blocks, and finally fastened to the ribs with rivets, and then tied with cables made of cedar roots, which were far stronger than flat-bottomed fishing boats, and the river was not afraid of bottoming out.
None of the ballistas could penetrate the Viking warships.
But the fire can burn!
Etellas didn't expect that Vondolph still had such hole cards, and he suddenly understood the third reason for slowing down to get them closer: the distance is close to burn the ship!
Seeing that his ship was about to be unlucky, Aitrias hurriedly said: "O king, if there are only two warships, we will not be able to disguise ourselves near the port of Sifuor!" β
"No boat?"
Vondolf pointed to the approaching fleet in the distance, with Danish and Swedish flags on their sails: "Aren't there ships?" β
Etellas subconsciously said: "There are also Danish and Swedish merchants on it"
Feng Dolph interrupted him in a relaxed tone: "Cut them down, and the ship will be mine." β
Etellas was shocked.
What you say makes so much sense!
But why are you more special than us pirates!!
Etrias didn't know what to say.
Feng Daofu said in his heart that these guys didn't lean over when they chased just now, and now they are leaning over after the battle, I really think I don't understand what they are thinking?
Even if he didn't have any other ideas, he couldn't ignore the risk of leaking the news and just let these people goβthe blonde king was also the son-in-law of the Grand Duke of Denmark.
"People always have to pay for what they have done, and your ship is one of them, Atlasia."
Feng Dolph glanced at him: "You come and pull the trigger." β
Eterias breathed: "Me? β
"And you."
Vondolph stiffened his chin and asked the ascetics to lift up the dozen or so surrendered pirates who were still alive: "Pull the trigger together and say goodbye to your past life." β
"It's very simple, I'll show you a demonstration."
"Bend your fingers and press gently"
Sou!
The bowstring whistled, and the incendiary bomb hit a Viking warship that had turned its bow.
With a crisp sound, a roaring flame ignited.
The Vikings tried to extinguish the fire.
But the newly improved thickened incendiary bombs of the Aiou Farm Tool Factory are not at all extinguished in a short time and a half.
Seeing that the sails were all set on fire and the heat wave was sultry, dozens of Viking pirates had no choice but to jump into the sea, holding wooden planks and undulating in the sea.
Call~
With their backs to the flames.
The black-clothed golden-crowned Sage turned to look at the group of surrendering pirates who were shocked by the power of the incendiary bomb: "You can't do such a simple thing, and you are a waste of grain to live." β
"I'll count to three."
"Three."
Vondolph counted the first note.
Obviously his tone was relaxed and casual, but Atrias felt an incomparable sense of Sensen oppression rushing over him.
There was a surrendered pirate whose body was trembling, and his crotch was damp!
No one cared about him, because they weren't much better.
Look at the flames.
Look at the terrifying silver-black armor again.
All the pirates were sweating more and more, and finally one of them could not bear the pressure and howled and threw himself in front of the ballista: "I'm coming!" I pull the trigger! β
With the first one, the others also moved.
Under the threat of the ascetic's axe, they did not dare to make any superfluous movements, so they could only swallow their saliva and leaned towards the ballista trigger with trembling fingers.
"Two."
Nonchalant voice.
The surrendering pirate seemed to hear the bell of death, and the first man closed his eyes and pulled the trigger: "Ah! β
Sou!
Atelias gritted his teeth, trembling with inexplicable sadness, fired the fire of death at his ship and his younger brother.
Sou!
Sou!
Viking warships were hit, and the flames spread rapidly.
There were Vikings who were ruthless and wanted to ram the Valkyrie with a fireship, but there were crossbow arrows in front of them, and the Valkyrie had the speed advantage in the back, which not only did not succeed, but also almost injured the Viking who jumped into the sea.
Call!
The sea breeze was blowing, a sea of fire rose out of thin air on the sea, and Viking pirates were carrying the planks in confusion and despair.
This scene stunned everyone in the distance.
I thought that the Lord of Finland, who was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, would lose when he was caught in the broadside battle of the sea wolf, but who would have thought that the result would be the destruction of a fleet!
The faces of the three pirate warships that separated changed dramatically, and they tried to escape, but they were entangled by the morale of the Bergen navy.
The Swedish merchant and the Danish merchant glanced at each other and silently changed their plan.
"It's as if nothing happened."
"Agreed. Wait a minute! Why did the big ship come to us?! β
Call!
Set against the backdrop of a sea of fire and the wreckage of a seawolf fleet.
The Valkyrie broke through the wind and fire and sailed towards them, just as the Flame Giant sailed the giant ship Nagilfa from the underworld, about to bring another death on earth!
I don't know what's going on in a few groups recently.,All of a sudden it's become gaygay.,My old man looks at his phone in the subway.,A little out of state.,Yesterday it was a change.,Sorry!
Today, we will start to challenge again every day, and recast the glory of the codeword!
Popular Science Time:
The modern improved frame construction of the crossbow has achieved almost the most balance between performance and simplicity.
This is also in line with the development of classical war machinery: the pursuit of combat effectiveness.
Although the torsion ballista has an advanced structure and exquisite workmanship, it is costly, difficult to maintain, slow to fire, and has low combat effectiveness.
With the introduction of towed speculation into the Mediterranean at the end of the sixth century, the Avars did not need to worry about the fragility of elastic parts, the performance did not decrease significantly in rainy days, and the rate of fire was much faster than that of large crossbows, and the torsion ballista was marginalized, and later the Byzantine/Crusader/Crescent countries were equipped with towed trebuchets on a large scale.
Only the simple torsion trebuchet of the wild ass ballista was not eliminated until the 16th century, along with the counterweight trebuchet.
Proven that complex weapons are not always easy to use, and will eventually evolve into simplified versions.
The simple structure of the little boy's ballista gave Etellas a great shock.
