Rebirth of the Viking King

12 days later, Hanshui Castle

Late at night, when Loki covered his daughter with a quilt and just lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, bang bang bang! There was a loud knocking on the bedroom door.

(Holy crap, who is this? There are only a few people in the whole village who can enter the Cold Water Castle in the middle of the night and knock on the door. Could it be?)

Loki opened the door sleepily, and he saw Jerome's pale face.

"Lord, I saw signs of the destruction of the world!"

"I've even killed the old rulers, who can destroy my world?! My respected bishop, have you been under too much 'work pressure' recently? I'll talk to Ka tomorrow Jia, tell me, you can’t force yourself to have a child.”

"I see signs of the end. A raging giant bear will crawl out of the eastern sea. It will climb onto the Viking land and wipe out us all with violence!"

Gently rubbing his sleepy eyes, Loki patted Jerome's shoulder wordlessly. Sure enough, the Chosen One is not a saint. Even though he has cultivated to the level of Sequence 3 ‘Judgment Angel’, which is infinitely close to that of a demigod, the life problem of “having children” that everyone encounters has almost driven him crazy.

"Brother, I understand your difficulties. If it were me, if I drank eight bowls of that disgusting 'qi-boosting medicine' every day, I would still have blood and fire attacking my heart every day, and become crazy and hysterical. Don't worry, I will definitely follow you tomorrow. Katya tells me that there are only exhausted cows and no damaged land."

Under severe sleepiness, Loki's eyes were almost closed together. At this moment, he just wanted to end this meaningless conversation as soon as possible and dive back into his bed.

"My intuition has always been very accurate. I saw many details. The Dragon's Breath Plateau has been submerged in the sea of ​​blood. The rushing blood is flowing towards the river valley. It won't be long before it will sweep through Hanshui Village! This is a battle for all Vikings. There is no escape from this calamity! This is a difficult test set by the Holy Lord Christ!”

Shaking his head slightly, Loki sighed, silently accepting the fact that this conversation would not end anytime soon.

"My brother, after all, you are the Chosen One of the 'Righteous Path'. When it comes to drawing out a broad sword and killing people, you are very good. But you are not your mentor Yusiobi, can you do divination?"

With the same words and the same tone, Jerome vaguely remembered the prophecy that Father Francis in the Woodland Judicial Monastery had with him. As a result, he almost lost his underwear when Loki snatched him away.

Jerome does not know what the ultimate fate of Patriarch Francis will be. However, the children in Hanshui Village have been attending church schools for several months. He is the godfather of 12 of them and is the guide for many Viking monks to embark on this path.

He had fought alongside all the survivors in the village, burying their dead and raising the children they left behind.

All things considered, he had accepted his identity as the "Archbishop of Hanshui Village".

When Father Francis turned him away a year ago, he obeyed silently. And now, when Loki was about to close the door to see off the guests, he pulled the door hard. The loud conversation between the two in the middle of the night woke up Sophie in the room next to her. When she walked to the corridor holding a silk doll and wearing a linen dress, there was a sudden noise at the gate of Hanshui Village. Opening the window door, "Siren" Ge Lin from Blood Pigeon Town was waiting for the city gate to open with a dozen cavalrymen.

Loki's sleepiness disappeared instantly. Ever since they both made a fortune in the summer, Loki had not seen Blind Mountain and Ge Lin for half a year. The last time they suddenly appeared, they brought him news of troops being sent out from Wuduck Town. But this time, he chose to show up urgently late at night.

Obviously, something shocking is happening outside!

**

He carried the sleepy Sophie back to the room from the floor and covered her with a quilt. Loki and Jerome changed their clothes and walked into the government hall. Wearing a full set of silver armor and a dashing appearance, Ge Lin was already standing in the center of the room. In the dim candlelight, the warriors of Blood Pigeon Town behind her were surrounding this young soldier whose body was covered in blood. He was wearing a shabby sheepskin jacket commonly worn by Viking herders, and his blue eyes were full of fear.

This kind of expression is not common on Viking warriors.

"Brother Loki, this is the spy installed in the Dragon's Breath Crypt by our Blood Pigeon Town intelligence network. He has brought the latest news, and I think you will be very interested in learning about it."

After a while, Ge Lin grabbed the soldier's collar like a chicken and threw him in front of Loki.

"My lord, things are not going well! The Dragon's Breath Crypt has now turned into a piece of scorched earth."

“The Slavic King ‘White Bear’ Bakambusch led an army of tens of thousands and came from the other side of the sea to fight!”

Loki narrowed his eyes and pulled the deserter from the ground. If a deserter said these words to him, he would just beat him away with sticks.

It is well known that the Slavs could neither build ships nor sail. Everyone in their group is prone to seasickness, and the consequences of being forced onto a ship usually require vomiting for ten days and a half.

For hundreds of years, the narrow Baltic Sea has been like a chasm for them. Although there were dozens of times more people than the Vikings, the Vikings had never suffered even a single Slavic invasion.

But the words from the man in front of him, combined with the prophecy Jerome just mentioned, are a bit scary. Jerome accurately mentioned a giant bear crawling out of the sea and bloodbathed the Dragon's Breath Plateau. This coincides with what the deserters said.

"How long has it been since the city was broken, until you escaped all the way to Blood Pigeon Town?"

The deserter counted with his fingers carefully, "1, 2, sir, about 10-12 days. I don't remember the exact date."

Loki looked at Greene, and the two exchanged a knowing look. Although her eldest brother Blind Mountain was not very clever, "Siren" Ge Lin was indeed a smart woman, and she immediately understood Loki's question.

The question is - "Why didn't Duke Bernard summon the vassals?"

During the fierce battle in Dragon's Breath Caves, the Storm Acolytes stationed in Dragon's Breath Caves will inevitably send ravens to all the lords in other provinces to ask for help. The river valley is close to the Dragon's Breath Plateau, and Duke Bernard should have received the raven released from the Dragon's Breath Crypt at least seven or eight days ago.

You know, the province next door is already a sea of ​​blood at this time. Tens of thousands of Slavic cavalry are wreaking havoc. If they move quickly, they will invade the river valley within a week.

But Duke Bernard quietly pretended that nothing happened. Not only did he not summon his vassals to deploy any defenses, he didn't even reveal the news!

What does he want to do?
