Drizzle.

The blood of the king's son stained the winding cobblestone slopes of the Moulin Rouge.

Red lanterns still hang at the doorways of the houses on both sides.

The same red light, but no longer obscene.

There are no more dolls behind the grid fence, just one person.

With a clear face, they looked at the black-clothed golden-crowned figure bathed in the drizzle on the high platform with reverence and fanatical reverence.

Looking at the figure facing the solemn phalanx, the pre-war mobilization was carried out: "Is Oslo strong?" ”

"You."

Vondolf dragged a merchant up: "Merchant from Lübeck, do you think Oslo is strong?" ”

There were a number of merchants and guards under the high platform, all of whom had been taken down from the Moulin Rouge these days, and most of them were from the coastal areas.

For example, this blonde merchant from Lübeck was a Saxon.

Originally a small fishing village, it became an important trading city in Northern Europe due to the division of the Germanic Empire, supported by the nascent Germanic Empire.

"Me"

When he was suddenly dragged up, the merchant from Lübeck was still looking at the prince who had been sacrificed.

Disbelief, surprise, doubt, shock, panic, fear, and panic fill my heart.

He was almost speechless for the first moment.

But if you dare to roam the ocean, you have no shortage of courage and insight.

Thinking that he was dead, the Lübeck merchant exclaimed, "Young king, do you know what happened to you as an enemy of the Blonde King?" ”

"He has a vast land, rich resources, and brilliant achievements!"

"Where his sword is pointed, kingdom after kingdom is destroyed!"

"His army is unbridled in the slaughter, using the enemy to dye the fjord's glaciers bright red!"

"The torrent of dragon ships will destroy all the forces that stand in front of them, nothing can stop them!"

"Including you and your ambitions!"

Not only the merchants of Lübeck, but also the other merchants and soldiers who were in charge also responded loudly.

Vondolph looked at them and laughed.

"You think of him as a giant of the North Sea, but I will say that this giant is weaker than a child!"

"Know what is the temperature difference between the macrocosmic prosperity of the kingdom and the microcosmic individual feelings?"

"You have only seen prosperity, but have you ever seen the despair of those who have been driven out of their homeland and die of starvation on the way to death?"

"You have only seen prosperity, but have you ever seen peasants who toiled hard for a year, being exploited and extorted by tax collectors in the name of conquest, with the despair of hungry and thin families?"

"You have only seen prosperity, but have you seen the despair of countless ordinary people who have been conquered, thrown into the mines like cattle by the army of the King of the Golden, in the blind wells?"

"They've prayed, they've protested, they've begged!"

"All of this was met with contempt, and the violence and insults were intensified!"

"Everything can be done, but it's all in vain!"

"His vast land, his prosperous Oslo, was created by stepping on the corpses of thousands of sons of Io!"

The figure in black and the golden crown was bigger than the other.

"You are the sons of Io, you are brothers and sisters, you are people!"

"But in the eyes of the princes and nobles of Oslo, you are just firewood for heating the bathwater!"

"While they lie in the ancient Roman baths and indulge in sensuality, the deep suffering on you has not disappeared!"

"Every lament, every sob, of the oppressed sons of Io, is a source of your anger!"

"The torrent of the Giant Dragon Ship will also be burned to ashes in the rage, and will be ruthlessly swept away by the cold wind of the ice veins!"

"The Golden-haired King wants to enslave all the sons of Io, does he want the sons of Io to continue to grovel and wag their tails and beg for mercy?"

"Never!"

"The shackles that imprisoned the sons of Io have long been forged!"

"The sound of shackles echoed over the North Sea!"

"If you want to break it, you have to fight! Only war! ”

"Fight for freedom! Fight for honor and not be bullied! Fight for the prosperity of all the sons of Io! ”

Vondolph looked at everyone with a determined look in his eyes.

Out of nowhere, a beam of light hit the golden crown, as if a pale golden circle of light lit up at the back of the head.

Everyone let out irrepressible exclamations, and then became even more frenzied.

Caroline put her hands on her chest and felt the heart of her newborn beating strongly.

Also beating wildly was Ingrid, her hands folded deep in front of her chest, and the content of the verses she was reciting unconsciously changed.

Brunhilde swept his eyes and saw that there was no shadow of Ava, muttering something in a low voice, but he was the first to raise his hand: "Son of Io, long live!" ”

The silver-haired Valkyrie's cry was like a signal.

Thousands of silent warriors erupted in rage: "Hooray, son of Io! ”

"Hooray, son of Io!"

In the midst of the wild shouts, it was the frightened voice of the Lübeck merchant: "Young king, you will carry those who trust you to the end of destruction!" ”

Feng Dolph glanced at him: "If that's the case, I'll rush to the front." ”

As the words fell, he drew his sword and came to the forefront.

The bugler blew the horn, the non-commissioned officers shouted, the soldiers reminded each other, all kinds of voices intertwined, and the array began to move in an orderly manner.

Under the eyes of the women and the bound merchants, thousands of people left the Moulin Rouge in silence but firmly.

The movement here had already alarmed the defenders of Oslo.

I thought it was some kind of thug, but when the first team rushed over, everything that caught their eyes made them tremble.

The battle flag hunting, the horn sounding, the armor is draped, the phalanx is neat, like an iron-gray wave rolling towards the fjord!

What kind of military situation is that, it is like a burning fire, just by glancing at it from a distance, you can feel a sense of frenzy rushing straight to it!

Most importantly

"How can there be so many people?" The squad leader's eyes widened in disbelief.

He didn't know how many, but he felt that this white torrent was endless, as if there would never end!

A Viking warrior next to him muttered, "It's like an avalanche."

There was silence before the start, and with a soft click, the snow breaked.

White, layers of snow and snowboards rose in response, as if the mountain god suddenly launched his divine power and shook off a white robe on his body, and it was like a white wave roaring down the mountain!

In the face of the white terror, the first man turned and fled, followed by the others.

The Southern Expeditionary Army didn't care about them, and there was only one goal: Wang Ting!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Oslo, alarm bells ringing.

The first reaction of many citizens is to be at a loss.

The city hasn't been invaded for decades since the rise of the Blonde King, and many young people are unfamiliar with the alarm bells.

But when they saw the white torrent gushing out of the street, everyone's faces changed drastically, and they fled in a panic.

There was a little girl who was squeezed and fell to the ground, and the child's mother hurriedly wanted to rush back, but was pushed by the crowd.

She watched in despair as the child was about to be overwhelmed by the flow of people, when a figure suddenly appeared, forcibly opening up a space.

The girl looked up blankly, meeting a pair of black eyes.

Feng Daofu looked at her for a moment, picked her up, and handed her to the stunned young mother.

Even the young mother who was robbed thought that something unbearable would happen, but she didn't expect it.

She only now realized that none of them paid attention to the fleeing people, did not burn and plunder, like two parallel lines that did not intersect.

"No one would hurt their brothers and sisters."

No one will destroy their property, Feng Daofu touched the girl's hair: "Go home." ”

Looking at the back of the departure, looking at the small group of Southern Expeditionary Army that remained, they began to maintain order and defeat those individual citizens who wanted to disrupt the order.

The young mother hugged her daughter and looked at it in amazement: "How can there be such an army."

In the complicated expressions of countless people, the Southern Expeditionary Army advanced all the way and soon saw the walls of the royal court.

At this time, the strongest resistance was finally encountered.

In the polar day, the defenders of Oslo formed a shield wall in front of the royal court.

With your back to the buildings on both sides, you don't need to worry about the flanks, the Oslo shield walls are stacked to the thickest!

The faces of the defending generals were solemn.

He didn't know how so many people had gathered, and it didn't matter.

As long as they hold the line, the Danish allies who came to the royal court a few days ago will use bows and arrows to deal a head-on blow to the enemy!

Even if the morale of the enemy army that suddenly appeared in Oslo was strong, and the city defense of the royal court was far inferior to Bergen, it would not be a problem to hold out for two or three days.

As long as the docks brought the news to the Danish Grand Duke of Jutland, they held out for two or three days, and reinforcements would soon arrive.

Even so, looking at the silent approaching white phalanx, the defending generals still sweated with a hot hand, as nervous as the first raid.

He could feel the Viking battles around him uneasy.

To make them so, where the hell did these people come from?

The general of the defending army shouted to boost morale: "I thought I would not be able to participate in this feast of conquering all of Norway, but it's a pity!" ”

"But I didn't expect people to be at home, and honor fell from the sky!"

"This is the blessing of the great gods!"

"The enemy is very strong, but the stronger the enemy, the more it can support the glory of the feats!"

"How much reward can we get for the king's generosity?"

"And we have a Danish ally, and the dock will send the news out soon!"

"Brothers, can we make the allies see jokes? Can you hurt your own family? ”

"Can't!"

"These guys are powerful, but they don't know anything about the power of Oslo!"

"It's time for the enemies and allies to show us the power of our Oslo warriors!"

The defending generals roared loudly, and the morale of the other Viking warriors finally rose.

At this time, the defending generals faintly saw the golden light at the beginning of the military formation.

What is that?

Without much curiosity, he raised his hand and gave instructions to his Danish allies on the wall: "Let them come closer." ”

These allies from Jutland used the Hazebi Bow, a one-piece longbow that was slightly taller than a man.

The bow is an elongated D-shaped shape that is close to an oval, the bowstring is made of flax fibers, the material of the bow itself is the sapwood and core material of Nordic purple shirtwood, the range is about 150 meters, and the larger pound war bow with a special arrow can shoot farther - the Viking archers are the source of the English longbowmen.

This group of hazebi archers is not very numerous, only more than a hundred, but if they are used well, they can also create great results.

The general of the defending army stared at the white army approaching step by step: "Four hundred steps"

"Three Hundred Steps"

Woo——!

With the sound of a long horn, the Southern Expeditionary Army stopped in an orderly manner.

Then in the wide eyes of the defending generals, the army split three passages, and the ballistas were pushed out.

The defending general couldn't help but roar: "Why is there even this?!" ”

No one answered his question, only the roar of the ballista.

Sou!

Sou!

Sou!

In the fierce wind, the ballista whistled.

Although the Viking warriors held their shields tightly, the oak shields were no stronger than the leaves of the trees in the face of the power of siege engines.

The crossbow spear pierced through the round shield and pierced directly into their bodies, even if they had leather armor, they couldn't resist it at all!

Even if he was lucky enough to escape, the broken oak fragments of the round shield of his comrades beside him became weapons, and his face was covered with blood.

Blood holes, blood mist splashing!

"Ahh

Screams rang out, and the seemingly impregnable shield wall collapsed!

Stepping on the wails of the Oslo defenders, Vondolf led the Plate Ascetics step by step.

Projectile ballista guns swept overhead, continuing to strike and suppress the Oslo defenders.

The black-clothed and golden-crowned sage, with the core ace troops of the Southern Expeditionary Army, advanced with a small round shield to protect his head and face.

The defending general's eyes were bloodshot, and he directly blew the horn of the arrow.

More than a hundred Hazebi archers stood up from the wooden plank behind the wall.

They raised their warbows, and with the sound of the neat bowstrings, the arrows poured down like water.

Sou!

Sou!

Vondolph could hear the arrows shooting into the small round shield from time to time, making a dull sound.

I was also hit by a few arrows on my body, but all of them were bounced off by the excellent full-body armor, and the defense was not broken at all!

This scene was a huge shock to the defenders of Oslo.

Originally, they were in a hurry to reorganize, but now they are all sluggish.

Even the generals of the defending army opened their mouths wide: "How can there be such an iron man?!" ”

Hezebi didn't shoot long before he was overwhelmed by a ballista that had a crushing range, mixed with a stone bullet from a trebuchet.

Without the rain of arrows, a column of walking figures began to synchronize.

They were as silent as steel, their boots stamped on the ground, and the earth shook with it!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Before they could get closer, the Oslo defenders began to crumble.

The defending general wanted to do something, and Brunhilde, who had quietly rounded to the side, had already locked on him.

The Valkyrie with a high silver ponytail pulled her bow, the bowstring pressing out on her pale flesh-colored lips.

Shout!

The wind blew the silver hair in his ears, and the pitch-black arrows shook the air, directly piercing the throats of the defending generals!

As the corpse fell, Oslo's horn fell to the ground, and the last line of defense in front of the royal court completely collapsed.

Bang~

At the docks, the defenders who were about to go to sea for help were stopped.

Etellas grinned at his shoulder: "Brother, don't embarrass me. ”

The defender's face was ugly: "You betrayed the king?" ”

Atellas smiled, "My body doesn't, but my mind has found a home again. ”

Call!

The white sails were raised, the Valkyrie was like a fortress on the sea, and the faces of the suppressed dock defenders were as earthy as earth.

On the bow, Douglas shouted, "Listen, the wind sweeping from the north brings the rumbling of cannons!" ”

"The war has begun!"

"Our brothers gallop on the land battlefield! We will also go to war in the oceans! ”

"For the sake of the Sage! For Io! For the thousands of Io's children! ”

The design idea of a European-style castle was to make the walls as thin as possible.

During the battle, wooden plank roads are used to facilitate the movement of defenders.

Similar to scaffolding erected on the outside of a building.

This mode not only ensures the strength of the basic structure, but also can reduce the attack range of the parabolic ballistic trebuchet, and it is very convenient for maintenance and maintenance.

There is also such a thing in China, and the rammed earth city wall with the war tent is the common city defense mode of the Song people.

In other words, anyone who has played medieval games such as Black Souls and War Spirits should have an impression.
