Chapter 641: Fulford

King Harold of England recaptured the army, but he and William, who was taken to the refuge of St. Valery in France by the storm, thought he was in a disadvantaged position. He had a short distance from South York. , Must also always face the threat from the Vikings.

The two black horses of King Harald of Sweden and his ally Tosti, the Count of Northumbria, have a fresh and powerful army. At present, there is only one local force assembled by the northern nobles to fight them.

Today, by a ditch near Yorkshire, as the leader of the northern nobility, an old count, who looks like seventy or eighty years old, led a few men waiting here.

A shadowed raven was hidden in the lush trees, and the small head with the shadows twirled left and right until we saw a majestic Viking Han Kang, who was about seven feet tall and wore a golden ponytail. With a dead deer striding towards this side, its three eyes were fixed on the Viking in a bearskin-he came alone in front of everyone in England with no fear, and turned the deer to the old The earl was thrown in front of the count as a gift from the Vikings.

"I'm Lynch, don't attack us, we are just here to do business, the Vikings are learning to do business-so, the English people listen well, we are learning to do business, although some of us are always learning very well The slowness caused some misunderstandings ... So the descendants of the blond king Haralda, the son of Sigul? Sor, the chieftain of Eastern Norway, and the ruthless king of Norway, Harald III, sent me to tell you that if you give up York, he will grant you money In exchange for peace with animals. "Although the Vikings who were sent to negotiate seemed taller and stronger than the average Vikings, they obviously had different affinity and higher wisdom. He made himself appear sincere and gathered together It seemed to be persuaded for the other side, "I think you will spend the money on the tribute and eliminate the disaster. It must be more cost-effective than letting them hack to death. I don't want to go to war, so I want to negotiate a price and do a business."

"Talking about the price? We will use our sword spear to pay tribute to you, and the blade of the tomahawk will smile at you." The dry old man obviously looks much tougher than his figure, he is not moved by it, He gave his answer slowly in a mocking tone, "I have two powerful counts, one of whom is the king's brother, and their strong men. Tribute? They will vow to defend this land , So get your prey and go! "

"You say that, I'm so sorry." The Vikings spoke in a low voice and stared at each other without saying much. They knew each other's hearts that a battle was about to happen.

For these North Englishmen, no matter how they are now, they must compete with Viking's large army and their former exiled enemy, Tosti.

Later, just two miles away from York ’s city gate, on the shore of a deep ditch in Fulford, a team of Northern Englishmen stood on one side of the trench, and on the other side more than 6,000 heavily armed Vikings Although people are not all the numbers brought by King Harald, it seems that the formation is also scattered, but they have no morale because of the disadvantage of the number, but they are all ready to fight.

All the two people have to do is to cross the ditch that is blocking the flow of water between them. It is now high tide time, which separates them.

Lynch patrolled the Viking berserkers in the front of his line who were also dressed in giant arms with two hands. He issued a mobilization: "Cows and sheep will die, loved ones will die, everyone will die, but there is one thing that lives forever , That ’s the glory of the dead. Odin helps, what do we want? "

"Fight." The brave and fierce Vikings roared together.

"What do you want?" The Vikings repeated again loudly.

"Fight." The soldiers raised their voices and roared loudly.

And the North English troops neatly arranged across the gutter lined up directly next to the swamp highlands on the other side. They blocked the Vikings ’way to York, and apparently were not outdone. They also encouraged morale and began to move towards The Vikings were insulting, and for a time, the two troops stood in their respective places, slamming their shields with weapons and yelling at each other-they waited for the tide to fall, so that they could actually fight.

After a long time of scolding, the tide began to retreat, and the two sides of the confrontation, with a command, both took up their shields and made a step forward.

The soldiers gathered under the old earl, under his leadership, neatly moved the shield wall forward a few steps closer, striking the shield with their weapons to mock the Vikings.

None of these North Englishmen were greedy for life or death. Instead of hiding behind the Yorkshire wall, they shivered, but took up their weapons and faced the enemy on the other side of the ditch—to defend the woman ’s chastity, to defend The freedom of their children and grandchildren, even if they crushed their bones, did not hesitate. The Anglo-Saxons would never bow their heads to the strong men who beat their families.

The pace of the English soldiers shouting is getting faster and faster, and the Vikings on the opposite side seem to have been unable to bear the provocation. If it is not for the officers to wait in line, I am afraid that some people already want to cross the river without waiting for the tide to recede.

But at this time, but after delaying for a while because of the soul absorption at sea and the encounter with Captain Jack, Alan finally rushed to the shore of the deep ditch in Fulford not far away ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Because of time constraints and mentality The change gave him no time to maintain his habit of slow-paced movements. Instead, he used the magic spell to walk a large circle along the ditch and both sides and began to set up a magic circle on the battlefield.

In the end, Allen floated himself to a high raised boulder. He raised his staff and activated the magical enchantment composed of huge illusions and confusion spells on both sides of the ditch-wanting to absorb the soul of the war dead He must make such preparations, the ashes transformed by soul-absorbing soldiers in the sea are swallowed by the sea, without traces and traces, but on such a large battlefield, if the dead soldiers are turned into ashes, they will be afraid of them. The attention of the visionary Muggle troops may even lead to the unexpected termination of the war-so fortunately the tide here gave Allen a chance not to be wasted.

Seeing that the tide had receded enough to allow them to go to war, Allen, who had just activated the circle, quickly used that one as the basic material for making magic stones-the one that had previously absorbed the blood pool and those modified twisted pieces of meat Vitality flowing red magic stone was placed on this boulder.

This magic stone is still far from the blood red to the color of his memory in later generations, so he put it here, and then hurried to the battlefield that has been possible at any time, and began to fill up the vicious curse of those wounded soldiers in the battlefield. Hemostasis yourself to absorb their vitality until the soul is sucked away by the staff after their death.
