Rebirth of the Viking King

This is not the first time Loki has heard the word "sect master".

As early as 2 years ago, when he entered York County for the first time and exchanged the "General Map of the World" with the guard at "Izumo Trading Company", he learned from the guard that "the lord of the clan is coming back soon. "

Recall that the time he mentioned was around this time.

In the obsidian pyramid, he saw 12 lizard-man statues surrounding Xuanyuan Sword, and he also knew that the sect master mentioned by the guard must be one of these 12 people.

These 12 faces often appeared in news reports in the 21st century before he traveled through time.

Each of these people is a chaebol of a conglomerate, or a political figure in a major country.

Their faces are known to most of the seven billion people on Earth. Because in that era, the Illuminati had completely controlled the world in all fields such as politics, economy, and culture.

They no longer need to pretend to be someone else and hide in a corner.

But in this life, they are obviously still forging ahead. The sect leaders still dare not stand upright and enjoy the sweetness of rights as they did in the 21st century. They also need to recruit helpers from all over the world and support the chess pieces in the human world as their right-hand man.

The poor monarchs of the Middle Ages also regarded being a chess piece as a great honor. Little did they know, they were all cannon fodder thrust into the spotlight.

But this group of lizardmen wearing human skin can always be safe.

Loki didn't answer, he didn't even say any unnecessary nonsense. The Vikings did not keep idlers in their ranks. Since he had no interest in "riding a dragon", he didn't want to keep these "Dragon Language Scholars" around.

During this trip, he entered Longshi County and caught nearly a hundred baby dragons and obtained hundreds of dragon eggs. He had gotten everything he wanted.

This group of lizardmen scholars who learn dragon language can only meet the fate of death.

Beheading is not an option for these extremely tenacious creatures. Therefore, he ordered his men to dig a large pit with a depth of 20 meters. The lizard man's joints were broken, bound with dragon tendons, and then thrown into the pit.

Then, a huge stone as tall as a person and a large amount of wet soil were pushed into the cave.

What the lizard people received was a burial alive.

They may survive under the soil for a long time, but no sound can be heard from the 20-meter deep pit. They are inevitably destined to be eaten away by the earth.

After leaving Dragonstone County, Loki led the army to the next province. When I saw that the neighboring province "Green Valley" was also defenseless.

He couldn't help but stop marching.

**

This trip seemed to go too smoothly.

It was so smooth that he couldn't feel real!

After crossing the border between Mercia and Wessex, there were no defensive troops in Stone Forest County. This can also be understood as that they had already gone out in full force to follow Ender Evans and be annihilated by him.

The reason why there are no soldiers guarding the Feilong Mountain Range may be because it is a place where giant dragons are raised and is not suitable for garrisoning. It is understandable that it is reluctant.

But now, he has conquered two of the five provinces of Wessex. At this time, he had entered the "Green Valley", the largest province in the central region. This is the main thoroughfare of Wessex and can lead in any direction. Due to emotions and reasons, they will definitely deploy heavy troops to guard it.

However, the Viking army marched straight in and even approached the main city of Green Valley, "Stonehelm Fortress".

Still not a single figure appeared.

This actually stopped him in his tracks.

At this time, although the Three Kingdoms era has long passed, Luo Guanzhong would have to wait 500 years before he was born, and wrote the story of the "Empty City Strategy" into the book.

Ecbert simply couldn't understand such a profound tactic. What's more, playing an empty city strategy with a group of Li Kui, I'm afraid the king is not that stupid.

What does he want to do?

Loki did not pause, but just like the Vikings used to plunder, he immediately prepared to attack the city when he saw it.

For one thing, the Vikings were never a regular army. They don't know how to form a formation at all, using the infantry phalanx and the cavalry phalanx to telescopically advance.

This loose group of soldiers had not received this kind of training, and they did not understand the essence of regimental combat. The Vikings' attack method was to charge like a pack of hungry wolves after seeing the target, and use their big axes to chop down all moving targets.

However, as the roaring Viking army quickly approached Stonehelm Fortress, Loki felt more and more that something was wrong.

This fortress is too quiet.

It's almost early morning, and smoke is curling up in the city. The suspension bridge suspended on the moat is suspended at a 45-degree angle, as if no war has ever occurred on this land.

(its not right)

(Stone Forest County and Dragonstone County have already been defeated like this, and I have led the army into Wessex and galloped across it for nearly a month.)

No matter how arrogant the Duke of England was who was garrisoning the fortress, he should have at least strengthened the gates and put additional troops on the walls for defense.

Loki had just stopped, but the Vikings beside him had no intention of stopping. He pulled out the short ax stuck at his waist and threw it in the air! The divine power bestowed upon him by the "Fire Berserker" turned the spinning and flying hatchet into a blazing wheel of fire!

It cut into the iron chain hanging on the city gate and cut the iron chain instantly.

With a loud bang, the suspended suspension bridge was lowered.

The road into the city is open.

but

No screams, no shouts

The stone helmet fortress with its gates wide open is as quiet as a tomb

If all the people in the city have been safely evacuated

Where does the smoke from the chimneys of the houses in the city come from? !

"Danger! Evacuate from the city first!"

"There is a scam in the city!"

Sensing something was wrong, Loki shouted, but the poor Vikings had never broken into such a luxurious fortress in their lives. After they rushed into the city, their brains had already lost the ability to think under the extreme excitement.

Entering the room, they skillfully rummaged through the cabinets to search for money. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the food on the chopping board and put it directly into his belly.

I don't even think about whether these things are edible or not.

Loki knew that he was leading an undisciplined army. He stood outside the city with a dead expression on his face, feeling that it was an impossible task for the Vikings to integrate into civilized society.

He waited quietly, waiting for a sudden explosion to sound in the city, or for the city to burst into flames.

5 minutes passed

10 minutes passed

A long time passed without any accidents happening in the city.

Boxes after boxes of silver coins were carried to the street, and the jingling copper pennies rolled down randomly, and the excited Vikings would not bend down to pick them up. In the lord's room, exquisite gold ornaments and armor studded with gems were left in the room.

Not one piece of Tang Dynasty silk worn by women was removed during the evacuation.

"Greendale" is the largest province in central Wessex and the transportation hub of the kingdom. All goods shipped from the English Channel to Wessex are transited at Stonehelm Fortress in Greendale.

To Wessex and Northumbria, then north into Stonewood.

It was transported to the three countries of East Anglian, East Saxon and Kent, and then headed eastward into the "Dwarf".

Therefore, Stonehelm Fortress is a giant city that is even richer than Falling Rain Highlands.

Even simply in terms of the luxurious style of the building and the scale of the fortress, it is comparable to the "Conqueror's Fortress" where the Viking kings were located.

What Loki couldn't understand was that what he was entering was nothing like a fortress abandoned by its inhabitants.

First, the lord organized the residents to flee. They might not have time to pack their clothes, but they would definitely take away the gold and silver. This is the result of their hard work throughout their lives, and there is no reason why they should be a flight attendant.

But at this time, the gold pounds and silver coins carried by the Viking warriors to the streets had almost covered the entire street.

Secondly, since Stone Helm Fortress is not weaker than Wanghai Fortress, there is no need for them to abandon such a strong city.

The province of Greendale is the center of Wessex, and all roads end at Stonehelm Fortress. By sending heavy troops to guard this fortress, Loki's troops will suffer serious attrition.

There is no doubt about this.

Ecbert is by no means a fool, otherwise he would not have allowed the six nations of England to sink at his feet. There must be a reason for him to do this.

But what exactly is this principle?
