Although the process of the fierce battle was not as good as expected, the Ruths actually defeated the enemy.

   The Ross man was immersed in the joy of victory, and the blue fox wiped the blood clotting on his face, accepting the respect of his subordinates.

   "My lord, you really look like a soldier who killed the enemy." The old mercenary's respect is sincere.

   The battle just now scared the Blue Fox Empress. Not only was the spreading fire not far away, it worried him even more.

   "Kill an enemy, and my sword still falls below." He complained.

   "It's okay. We jumped down the rope to make up for those dying, and then brought up the adult's sword."

   "Then go quickly. We also have to prepare some measures to deal with their new offense." Blue Fox Ling Ran said.

   In this battle, no one on the Ross side was killed, and of course the opponent’s casualties were not many.

   A group of farmers and merchants who were mobilized to rob, expect them to unconditionally sell their lives to gangs and foreign bigwigs. This is very absurd. They can be masters of the downwind. When an attack is frustrated, life-saving is naturally the first priority.

   There are more than 30 people lying under the wooden wall, some of them are still wriggling hard, or they are still holding their wounds in their weakness.

   Rose mercenaries with dusty robes jumped down, like a group of desperate white demons, holding steel swords or short spears at the people lying on the ground. The wounded were killed, and the deceased's body was still cracked.

   They cleaned the battlefield to find all available weapons, especially the arrows they fired.

   In fact, everyone felt weird from the beginning of the fierce battle. This group of Danes stood up like a rainbow army for a time. Why didn't they shoot arrows to cover during the attack? The Ross mercenary felt that things were very strange, and very much suspected that the opponent had deliberately hid his archer.

   His subordinates explored under the wall, and the available weapons were thrown into the wooden wall at will.

   Blue Fox watched all this. He squinted his eyes especially when he saw the broken wooden pole that had been cut out, and he couldn't help but squeeze a sweat. He shouted to the lower part of the wall: "The wall is damaged, move the enemy's body over and reinforce it!"

   Everyone under the wall got orders. The **** dead body became a kind of soft brick and stuck to the damaged part of the wooden wall. When the dead body appeared, it was difficult to move.

   Some arrows are broken, and most of them are still reusable. The Ross people tried their best to recover their arrows and saw more than fifty short spears left on the battlefield. They planned to use them as throwing guns.

  The weapons seized were far more than the dead bodies on the ground. The enemy was beaten to throw away their armor and armor?

   Time gradually entered the night, and the Rus, who was worried about the enemy's night attack, still guarded the wall. The north wind that began to hang makes these guards instinctively aware of the danger.

   The blue fox took back his steel sword. Poor haze began to appear in the afternoon, and the sunset in the evening did not exist, so he could not see the beautiful reflection of the steel sword. However, the flames not far away still made this sword extremely shiny.

   They lit a bonfire in a small courtyard and cooked oats in an urn on the spot.

   Soon the smell of wheat in the Fortress of Ross Store was filled. This salty oatmeal porridge made of wheat mixed with oats and chopped salt and thyme is the best way to supplement everyone's physical strength.

   Dinner is really delicious. While the brothers are eating, there are also concerns.

The old mercenaries who sat on the floor doubted whether the next battle was meaningful: "Their forces exceeded our expectations. If the prince is here, thousands of people will be sent to fight with them. We will only have 90 people. Continue We will die if we consume it."

   "It's okay to die in battle. But, do you want us to retreat as soon as possible?" The old mercenary who has always advocated melee combat is full of energy.

"The retreat is also correct? There are no valuables in the shops, and there is no treasure to hold on. Now the weather is bad, and the effect of our rockets is very good. The fire is still going on. We should take advantage of the chaos to evacuate. This is an opportunity. "

   "You want to retreat, and now retreat is to hurt my honor. My guys and I want to kill more enemies. What is it to kill more than 30 enemies?"

   "But we have created enough chaos, and the enemy has now withdrawn."

   "That's not okay." The old guy who was fighting the hand-to-hand combat arrogantly threatened, "I want to personally kill those armored and horse-riding enemies, kill their chief general, and give my head to the prince."

   words are really magnificent, but those with a clear head don't think it is feasible.

  The mercenaries know that their little victory is nothing to brag about. The brothers have seen the world and know what a dead body is, and what is this?

   The blue fox was sitting by the campfire, and now his gorgeous clothes gave way to armor. He assassinated an enemy today and was called a "real warrior" by his subordinates. Maybe! After he calmed down, he recalled that although he felt scared, the fear of fighting has disappeared a lot.

   The mercenaries were unconsciously divided into two factions. Although there were 90 subordinates, they were actually divided into three "ship groups." One "boat" supports the continued fighting, and the other "boat" hopes to accept it.

   They want Blue Fox to have an idea, and Blue Fox is also ambiguous now.

   The key third "ship", Vadi Zdalovic and his guys, the attitude of these thirty people has become crucial.

   "Wadi, what do you think of the fight today?" Blue Fox deliberately asked about the attitude of the eater.

   "Very good, we are revenge."

   "Just that? Are you...eager to continue fighting?"

   "Our brother would rather die in battle, and try to hold an enemy to death before death, to avenge their damage to our village."

   "You are not Odin's warrior, you don't need to work hard like this." Blue Fox was a little curious.

   saw Vardy happily: "We just want revenge, thanks to the lord for giving our brother a chance."

   "But if we leave now, you will have more chances for revenge in the future."

   "No! Brothers can't wait, we are eager to kill another batch of enemies."

   The blue fox nodded, and now the voices advocating continued combat are the most. For him, taking advantage of the bad weather and the fire to retreat, the logistics materials can continue to persist if they continue to stick to the preparations.

   "Then continue to consume it here." He gave a clear order, "This is the path we chose, and it will be my destiny if I die."

   At this moment, the little fat man, Blue Fox, has some belief in Odin.

The flames in the shed area near    continued, and the northerly wind that began to blow after night began to intensify the fire. If there is no wind, the fire will not spread very widely, but the situation will start to change from night.

   The north wind gradually became fierce, which dealt a greater blow to the rout soldiers who retreated to the safe area to rest.

   Stad was furious at the arbitrarily retreat of the bandit troops and the temporarily recruited farmer fighters, and he gathered the band leaders and screamed mercilessly.

   This scolding doesn't matter, there are gangsters who choose to quit on the spot.

His so-called subordinates lost more than 200 people at once, and Stad had no intention of obstructing any, because he had already released a cruel remark: "You run away! When King Horrick's army comes, I will punish you cowards. ."

   Those who should be evacuated still have to evacuate, because the cold north wind has become warm, but this warmth has become hot.

   Gray Wolf Karl also wanted to retreat, he was afraid that his area would be swallowed by flames. He is a person with a bigger goal. What is Stadt, holding a heavy army but incompetent in organization, is this also an expert? Wait until the new king Horrick arrives and then go to court the King, this is more promising than the Batsystad.

   Carl resisted Stad’s insults and put on a non-self-interested attitude and said casually: "I wanted to withdraw, but now I change my mind. I will continue to attack the Ross people."

As soon as he said this, Stade stopped cursing, but instead demanded: "A lot of people are running away, and your gangsters can ignore it. You must try your best to bring me back the farmer who is called up. You dare to run away again, you Kill directly!"

   Gray Wolf Karl was a little surprised. In order to maintain his military spirit, he killed the escaped. Karl had never done anything like this, and he didn't even understand.

   But he saw Stard’s armored warriors start to do it with his own eyes, and it’s not appropriate not to do it himself.

Those bandit forces who withdrew first saw the situation change. They saw the army under the new Danish king killing their own people. After a while, they were afraid that they would also be slaughtered. They shouted that they had been fooled. It's better than dead Hafgen, and immediately ran for his life at full speed.

   Some of the armed farmers who wanted to evacuate were assassinated. The dead bodies in a pool of blood completely shocked the other farmers under the flames.

   Stad used violence to stabilize the military, but the flames continued.

   He is not allowed to be scattered by birds and beasts, but everyone who stays still will be swallowed by flames. He took the army and began to take the initiative to evade, and he also began to worry that the fire would really engulf the entire Hezeby.

   Until the middle of the night, a new situation happened again.

   It is raining at the end of midsummer. This is Northern Europe. Rain means the temperature plummets!

First, the north wind helped the fire. For a while, people felt the warmth. However, when the heavy rain fell, the restrained farmers and soldiers got wet. How did their thin linen protect from the cold, not to mention that there were a group of people who were shirtless in battle. trembling.

   When the fire became completely out of control, a rain extinguished the possibility of the fire burning the whole city.

   The cold weather in the supermarket also brought discomfort to the Ross people. They retreated like shops in empty buildings. The wooden floor of the woodcut building perfectly avoided the wet ground. They would not be soaked and could rest in a dry place.

   No one believes that the enemy will attack in this kind of weather, and that night attack is impossible in a cold rainy day.

   I lighted the oil lamp in the house, and the mercenaries gathered together, making the whole empty large house overcrowded. The body temperature of everyone was enough to make the house quite warm, and it was completely two concepts from the coldness of the outdoors.

   This rain had early warnings, after all, people with eyesight during the battle could see a dark cloud gradually drifting from the north.

The weather in Denmark is like this, because there are no tall mountains that run east-west. The central Scandinavian mountains from north to south are like a drainage barrier for the Arctic cold current. As long as the north wind sweeps through Northern Europe, Jutland will be hit. The cold Arctic current in summer swept Denmark's warmth. To make matters worse, this cold snap is really not at the right time!

   The constrained farmers couldn't help shivering, and they were extremely worried about buying land. It is almost the time of wheat harvest. This torrential rain is afraid that a large amount of newly eared oats and rye will fall down. The reduction in agricultural production is inevitable.

   The farmers felt that the natural disaster was related to the wrath of the gods. They went home to look at the condition of the fields. Even if they knew they were powerless, they didn't want to tremble here.

Those buildings that had just been overfired began to collapse in the rain again, and the empty wooden sheds that did not burn became soldiers’ refuges. They searched for everything that could keep out the cold and persisted in the damp and cold environment, waiting for the new offensive order from Stade. .

   So Stoude didn't want to hurry up and continue to attack?

   He has no experience in launching an offensive in the cold rain, and many subordinates are also all opposed to it. The so-called fighting in the rain is too ridiculous, and the mud will make it difficult for soldiers to stand.

  They had to endure it, and some people worried that the Russ would take advantage of the bad weather to escape.

   Escape? Where can I escape?

   Now the sea is windy and sturdy, and people who shelter from rain in various sheds can hear the sound of violent waves except the sound of rain.

  Many people who fled knew that there was a war in Hezeby, but now they have fled back, just to pull all the anchored fishing boats to the shore and fix them hard to avoid wind and waves. This kind of measure is very limited. The ocean was stunned by a six-meter wave, and a group of fishing boats with keels were constantly beaten by this wave and eventually disintegrated. There were also fishermen who rescued the boat who were caught in the sea and eventually became feed for the fish.

   The process of the cold current will last for many days, this kind of situation has also been experienced by the blue fox in other regions.

   The Ross people continued to hide in the house, and the rain continued outside.

   There are also soldiers who are worried about the enemy’s sneak attack running shirtless outside, where the temperature has dropped to 8°C, climbing a wet ladder and boarding wooden scaffolding to observe the situation outside. What they see is only the depressed fields and Hezebi in the dark. There are indeed some people wandering, they are like armed men, but they have no idea of ​​attacking.

The people who ran out had another task, which was to take off the twisted Ross flag hung on the wooden pole, and then unfold the flag full of water and stick it directly on the wall to show that the Ross people will not withdraw. ~www.novelhall.com~ Continue to provoke the enemy with a banner.

   Is it enough to just be provocative? Of course not enough.

   More than thirty enemies who were killed were decapitated, inserted into wooden sticks, and stood on the previous battlefield.

   The eyesight of the Nordic people in this era is very good. Even in rainy weather, people with eyesight can see that a group of hideous heads stand out abruptly. The flag is lighted and the head is plugged. If someone tells the Stadros people will take advantage of the chaos to evacuate, he will definitely not believe it.

   "This is great, we don't have a chance to evacuate now." The man who was ordered to cross the lane to the exit to check the situation reported back.

   Blue Fox and the other brothers are eager to learn about the situation in the sea. Now, Blue Fox just wants to hear a more detailed report.

"There are sea monsters in the sea now, and the sea is very violent. I saw the waves destroy some ships abruptly. If we decide to evacuate before, the ships will inevitably capsize and we will all die. Only our big Ross ship can withstand this kind of wind and waves. ..."

   The situation described by the scout is convincing. The brothers are not cages. Everyone can hear the violent waves. Even standing on the archery platform on the roof and looking into the distance can feel the sea strange.

   As a result, even those who advocated withdrawal completely abandoned their claims.

   The blue fox sighed up to the sky: "Rainfall is Odin's will! Brothers, we may only fight with them with our lives as sacrifices. Odin forbids us to retreat, so we will die in exchange for the king's revenge!"

   Everyone looked at each other. They all smiled in relief...
