Rebirth of the Viking King

The heavy ax wedged into the enemy's head, and a stream of bright red blood spurted out and splashed onto Loki's pale cheek.

This was the last Slavic warrior guarding the village. With his foot on the head that looked like a broken blood bag, Loki pulled out the giant axe, and then kicked open the village door!

Two exclamations came from inside and outside the door at the same time.

One side was cheering, and the other side was naturally screaming.

The ones who cheered were the Vikings behind Loki. They joined Duke Bernard's fleet and sailed tens of thousands of miles just for this moment. More than 20 heavily armed tribesmen rushed into the village holding axes high. Only Loki himself turned to look at his compatriots who had fallen in this brutal battle.

"one two three"

In order to occupy the village, he lost 5 more of his subordinates.

Since his father died two years ago, Loki has shouldered the important task of leading the village. His village "Cold Water Village" is located in the cold mountains of Scandinavia. It is the smallest branch of the valley nobles commanded by Duke Bernard.

The whole village has only forty-two households and more than one hundred and seventy people.

The sparse number of people is only one thing, but the village is located on a rocky hill. There are only a few acres of barren saline-alkali land outside the village, and the wheat produced from the cultivated land cannot feed more than a hundred hungry tribesmen. If they want to survive, the tribesmen can only survive by hunting deep into the snow-covered mountains.

In a good year with plenty of rain, there will be plenty of prey in the mountains. In addition to filling their stomachs, the hunters can also exchange furs for weapons and clothing. If they encounter a disaster like this year, they will have no choice but to join the plundering team organized by the Duke. Together with the Duke's private army, they will sail across the Baltic Sea on a Viking longship and come to rob the Slavic lands.

Whether they can survive this winter safely depends entirely on how much supplies they can plunder from the Slavic lands.

The people guarding the village were all teenagers. Seeing that the situation was over, they dropped their pitchforks and hoes and fled.

The Vikings under Loki did not pursue them. God-King Odin appreciated the sword-and-axe fighting rather than the one-sided massacre.

Compared with the deserters, these tall blond marauders were more interested in the women in the village.

"Looking for gold, silver, copper, iron, wheat, grain, cotton and linen animal skins, and winter clothing! Winter has come too early this year! We need everything that can keep out the cold and satisfy hunger, and"

"Move the women and children to the carriage! No one is allowed to harm them. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

He would tell you the same thing several times a year.

Loki is a time traveler. However, after living in this poor and cold medieval century for more than twenty years, he seemed to have forgotten that he once came from a prosperous and civilized world.

In his previous life, killing strange men and robbing their women and children was a serious crime that ordinary people could not even imagine. However, in this new world, he was surprised to find that women and children did not seem to hate being carried by strangers. Carry on the shoulder.

Good birds choose good trees to roost in. Women look for men to have a better life. In this difficult era of scarcity and hunger, if these strong pirates armed with giant axes can bring a better life for themselves, their descendants can grow up more safely.

It seemed like it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow them.

"Damn it, we come to this ungrateful place every year, why can't we change to another village to rob?" In the dilapidated wooden house, the tall Viking warrior was rummaging through the cabinets in the kitchen and loading salty food into the bearskin bag he carried. fish. Beside him, another person was carefully observing whether there was a secret door in the room with dark blue eyes.

Being robbed so many times, the rough Slavs also learned how to hide their belongings.

"My brother, you have a wonderful idea! Before setting off, Duke Bernard had already mapped out each family's territory! What's the difference between entering another village's hunting ground and reaching for someone else's wallet?"

"If you want to get more hunting grounds, you have to spend money to buy them from the earl! Not to mention that the wealthy town guards are also strong. We have more than thirty axes, just in case we encounter a few 'Chosen Ones'"

"Haha, just wait for the annihilation of the clan!"

Loki shook his head slightly. In the medieval world, feudal superstition was the mainstream thought. In this barbaric era where 95% of humans are illiterate, only the word "god" can explain all the problems they encounter.

When there is thunder in the sky, they think it is Thor swinging his hammer to strike iron; when it rains, they think it is the gods mating; when winter comes, it is because the gods are dormant, and when spring comes, it is the gods awakening.

God-King Odin is the source of power for the Vikings. There are 12 gods enshrined in the Hall of Valor controlled by Odin. These gods gave the Vikings a total of 8 different upgrade paths.

Sea giant, siren, thunder god, sailor, berserker, fisherman, raven, valkyrie.

It is said that every path that reaches a high level can possess the power to destroy the world.

The Vikings believed this. However, Loki lived for 20 years and always believed that all this was caused by feudal superstition! On the one hand, it is certainly because the barren Hanshui Village does not have a single "chosen one". In the past 20 years, he has never seen these "chosen ones" perform any "magic skills".

On the other hand, if you want to become the Chosen One, you need to pay a large amount of property to the "Storm Acolytes" who guard the Hall of Valor.

In the eyes of modern people, this incident looks like an ancient pyramid scheme farce.

The Viking warriors under Loki have very average combat capabilities. Even calling them Vikings is an exaggeration. In the final analysis, these guys are just a group of temporarily organized armed hunters.

When they picked up hoes, they became farmers, when they picked up bows and arrows, they became hunters, and when they picked up axes and sailed across the sea, they became pirates.

While the two tribesmen were looting, a Slavic woman wearing coarse clothes behind them made no attempt to resist. She hugged the two children tightly in her arms, lowering her head and not daring to make any eye contact with the robbers.

"When you take things, don't forget to take the women and children with you! Otherwise, they will have no food and will still die in this winter!"

"Just tie up the women and let them hold the children's hands. Don't strangle the children!"

"Okay, boss, I won't hurt the doll."

Loki picked up the ax and exited the room. More than twenty years later, he discovered that the scene in the movie about raping a civilian girl was completely fake! Only by keeping warm can you think. When there is no food to eat, this group of colorful Viking warriors only have food in their eyes.

Even corn cobs that have been dried for several years are better in their eyes than those emaciated and yellow women.

One thing is true.

Duke Bernard, the lord of the "River Valley", owns more than thirty Viking longships, but he only knows one route to the east.

It is safe to go to the east, but years of plundering have made this group of Slavs even poorer than the Vikings! Especially this year, seven or eight villages were robbed along the way, and many people died. However, Loki never saw even a trace of gold, and the total amount of silver was only one pound.

There are always dried corn and worm-eaten potatoes and sweet potatoes, but these are only for filling the stomach. He needed real money to rent more ships from the Duke and buy a larger hunting ground.

With a larger hunting ground, he can rob more gold and silver. With more gold and silver, he can build villages, forge weapons, and cultivate an army composed of professional soldiers.

"Take everything you need, and leave three or five tribesmen to escort the women and children to the ship! Too many people froze to death last winter, and we need to replenish the population!"

“Don’t fucking forget the kid!

"Any child needs to eat a lot of food to grow into an adult. These Slavic bastards have helped us complete half of the work. Logically speaking, we have to help them complete the other half!"

"The elderly who cannot move should be dealt with on the spot, don't let them suffer!"

In the medieval era when supplies were scarce, it was either you who died or I lived. Maybe in the first few years he would still feel sympathy for the old man, but then he would get used to it after killing too many people.

Slowly walking in this dilapidated village, he watched bags after bags of grain being carried onto the carriage by strong Viking men. However, just as he was about to leave the village, a tall Viking boy slammed A loud kick broke the wooden door. He pulled a skinny old man in a coarse robe from the empty barn.

The old man was no longer young. He raised his hands and spoke in a foreign language. However, these two sentences with ordinary pronunciation were like thunder in Loki's ears!

What the old man said were two sentences in standard English: "please and don't"

Twenty years have passed, and this is the first time he has heard the language from his previous life in this different world!

"Wait!" Loki yelled.

The young hunter was about to end the old man's life with a knife, but upon hearing the leader's order, he immediately put down the weapon in his hand. Quickly walking to the old man's side, Loki gently grabbed the coarse cloth necklace around his neck and pulled it outward.

He saw a wooden cross.

This white-robed monk turned out to be a missionary who believed in the Holy Bishop!
