Chapter 53 2.11 Embrace a Glorious Death

In the afternoon, Hummel led the Blood Pigeon Town guards out of the city.

He went to Hanshui Village, his mission was completed.

He would never lead his troops into this muddy water.

The old man quickly left the city with a high attitude, but before leaving, all his Blood Pigeon Town guards gave Loki a thumbs up.

No Viking would be afraid of a "glorious death", and among all the ways of death, not fearing power and destroying everything is the greatest one.

It is said that 7,500 years ago, the founding emperor of the Vikings, "Olaf the Conqueror", used 350 human slaves with crazy blood in their bodies to kill all the giants wandering in the Scandinavian Peninsula. In the end, he stood on the corpses of the giants and established a new country.

"I admire you, powerful warrior!"

"If I can survive this time, I am willing to follow the footsteps of the little brother at some point!"

"Haha, even if Lord Loki dies, I am willing to hold the horse and whip for you in the next life!"

This group of warriors in Blood Pigeon Town are all the personal guards of Mr. Hummel. But in this pirate group with weak interpersonal relationships, it is not a big deal for them to express their admiration for another lord openly.

Loki went all the way west and looted a lot of gold and silver with 11 people. This has long been an open secret in Blood Pigeon Town.

And now he even wants to fight Bernard's 500 Viking shield axemen with 30 hunters. This makes them feel admiration from the depths of their souls.

"Brother, what do you need?" In the face of life and death, Ge Lin no longer had the interest to joke. Although she hoped that her brother could survive the war, she knew that this was almost an impossible task.

"What supplies do you need? As long as your elder brother and I can provide them, just tell me."

"Sister-in-law Ge Lin, I'm not polite. I need to buy 30 'Iceland Wolf' from your stable! It's winter now, and horses can't run fast on ice and snow."

"Use the weak to defeat the strong, speed is my only advantage"

"No problem!" Blind Mountain said in a deep voice, "I will send someone to deliver the wolf tomorrow."

"What else do you need besides the wolf? In fact, if..."

Loki knew what he wanted to say and stopped him immediately.

"No, 30 wolves are enough, because these wolves are likely to die in this battle"

"If they are really killed in a few days, you can follow this map to find a cave on the coastline. There is a new ship I made in the cave! Go west along the North Sea and you will reach England!"

After explaining everything, everyone in Blood Pigeon Town left.

That night, Loki summoned all the villagers of Hanshui Village to the castle. Wenzov, who represented the Slavs, Jerome, who represented the Holy Bishop monks, and the hunters of Hanshui Village all took their seats. Everyone's face was solemn.

Many people even brought their children.

"When you sit at home, disaster will come from the sky." These 10 words can perfectly describe the situation of the villagers of Hanshui Village. After Loki and the villagers explained the huge crisis facing the village in person, Loki was quite surprised that only less than 10 people chose to evacuate overnight with their families.

The remaining 150 people, including the English monks brought by Loki from the other side of the sea, chose to stay and fight with the village.

Everyone's eyes were flashing with hungry fighting spirit.

"According to the information brought by Mr. Hummel, it will take 10 days at the earliest and 15 days at the latest for the Duke's vanguard to approach our Hanshui Village!"

"Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is a battle that is bound to die. But in my opinion, this is a great opportunity for us to pick up the axe in our hands and please the great god Odin!"

Loki said as he poured beer for everyone.

"The gods in the Hall of Heroes will witness how we defeat enemies that are more than ten times our number in this boring winter! While drinking the wine, wait for the dead warriors among us to open the door and embrace them warmly!"

When these words were spoken, everyone's blood boiled. Swinging the axe under the gaze of the gods to smash the heads of the invaders! In this long winter with nothing to do, what could be more exciting than this!

Even if I die, I can meet the gods, friends, and relatives in the Hall of Heroes as a warrior.

It is so difficult to live in this frozen and barren land. Who would be afraid of death?

"Haha! The village chief is right! I've wanted to have a fight with those sons of bitches in Fog Duck Town for a long time!"

"Yeah, they always come to my Hanshui Village to hang out, this time I must make them leave their blood, weapons and life here!"

"Embrace the glorious death!!"

The warriors laughed, as if they were talking about the execution of a few wild dogs at the entrance of the village. This is also the most worry-free part of Loki's management of these Vikings.

Draw the sword to life and death, don't ask about the future. It is as easy for Viking warriors to do these eight words as eating and drinking water.

"It's not enough to guard the village by men alone. There are 150 people in the village, half of whom are women!"

"After the meeting today, all women will follow me to the blacksmith shop of old man Gore to get a weapon. Tomorrow morning I will organize people and teach you how to resist foreign enemies in Kahon!"

Half of the women in Hanshui Village are Slavs who were plundered from the land of Slavs. Wenzov's wife, Aunt Valrna, the kitchen foreman, is their backbone.

Seeing what the leader said, all the women nodded in agreement. The period of living in Hanshui Village was the most stable period of their lives.

Women are very willing to let them take up arms to protect this peace.

"Lastly, it's the children."

"Girls and sisters, give your children one last hug tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will send them to a very safe place! You will not see them until the war is over!"

"I know what you are trying to say, and I also know that many of you picked up swords and fought in battles at a very young age. But this is Hanshui Village!"

"Children in Hanshui Village will not die because of adults' fights!"

The village chief was so decisive that the adults couldn't say anything else. This "combat mobilization meeting" is now coming to an end. Several maids walked into the conference room carrying fragrant roast meat and fresh bread in large wooden barrels, and placed barrels of food in the center of the long table.

Everyone looked at each other. A banquet of this size is close to the annual lord's family banquet. But after thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved. 150 people from the village fought against 500 elite soldiers under Duke Bernard. How many people who survived this battle will still be alive to see the next spring?

This is a huge question.

What can be predicted is that even if Hanshui Village is lucky enough to gain a victory, a large number of soldiers will definitely die. What is the use of saving these grains and meats?

"In the past few days, the food in the village will be supplied according to the maximum quota. I, Loki, cannot guarantee that each of you can survive, but I can at least guarantee that when your big ax attacks the bastards of Fog Duck Town, no one will be able to survive." You will lose half of your strength due to hunger!”

"Today is the last night for you and me to get together. Remember the friends and partners around you, because after tonight, when we get together again, I'm afraid we can only wait until we meet in the Hall of Valor!
