Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 157 When the black coffin is unsheathed, the sword sounds.

ga-

Watching the white crow flying back from a distance, a flash of memory flashed across Prophet Bai's vertical pupils.

"Sith, I think it's time to head to the Hall of Valor."

A few days ago, when the old man left the cave, he suddenly reached out and patted the top of his head, just like the old man did when he was in his prime.

But he was shunned, and now he is a young man, not a child anymore.

"Sith, you weren't as well-behaved as you were when you were little. Well, you weren't too well-behaved back then either."

The old man shook his head and stepped forward calmly and unhurriedly, "Everyone will die, so don't be too sad."

Zane Barnard has had an extremely bad temper since he was a child, and was given the name Fierce Crow. Over time, few people remember his real name.

……

The giant hand suddenly grasped the handle of the scimitar, but was instantly suppressed by a hand. From the corner of his eye, Bartholomew glanced at the eagle eyes outside the dark mask beside him, and finally chose to let go of the handle.

"Chief Barnard!!"

Looking at the body that split into two halves in mid-air, all the fogcrow warriors rushed towards the field.

Redmond ignored the mistcrows coming towards him, picked up his cut off ear, put it in his mouth, bit it into pieces, swallowed it, and then raised his long-handled ax toward the sky.

Then there was an overwhelming roar:

"Guardian, General Redmond."

"The Fierce Crow is dead. From now on, this strait will be called the Black Fish Strait. Who dares to have an opinion?"

Hearing the roaring roar in their ears, all the fogcrow warriors surrounding the old leader clenched their fists.

There was still a glimmer of light in the old man's eyes, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood: "The new leader, Shurut So..."

He only said half of his name, coughed up a large amount of blood with difficulty, and could no longer make a sound. He opened his mouth again and spit out a few silent words:

‘Waiting for the black coffin to be unsheathed. ’

The light in his pupils was completely extinguished.

Captain Shurut closed the old man's eyes, and a flash of understanding flashed through his heart regarding his last words.

Victor, Sophia, Jecam, and the other soldiers around them were sad and confused, and they didn't understand why the old leader left such a sentence at the end.

The black coffin is already in the hands of the black fish people, how can it be unsheathed... Reminiscent of what the old man said to Redmond before, if the position of guardian is taken by the fog crow, take back the black coffin.

Everyone vaguely understood, obviously it meant waiting for the opportunity, waiting to seize the position of guardian and regain the black coffin.

Although Redmond is tyrannical, he is not hopeless.

Since defeating the Longclaw Centipede Man in Divine Grace Mountain, Rayleigh's qualifications are certain to become a general in the future. Even aside from Rayleigh, Captain Sparrow still has the qualifications to be a general. Although it is unclear whether Captain Sparrow, who has been decadent for many years, can He also has the ability to attack generals.

The only question is whether the Blackfish people will give him time.

Before launching a war against the central part of the country next year, the war whale leader Kurag definitely does not want to see a civil war in this strait. The time left for the fog crows is probably only this short one year.

The smiling man Genat, who was standing outside the circle, no longer had the smile on his face as usual. Unlike what everyone around him thought, he understood the true meaning of the old leader's last words.

Waiting for the black coffin to be unsheathed is the simple meaning on the surface, nothing else.

Because he had seen this legendary sword, it was not in the hands of leader Daun at all. The black coffin in the hands of Blackfish Youmu was a fake sword.

But today's Mist Crow is obviously in a dead end——

Out of the corner of his eye, the dark mask that came over him flashed away. He wondered how this person would break such a deadlock.

The simplest way is to rely on time, and wait until he becomes a general, and everything will be solved. But this is also the most difficult way. Now Reilly has just turned 17, and it may take ten years or even more to become a general.

Ten years is too long, and it is impossible for the Blackfish tribe to leave such time for Mist Crow.

His thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the young leader of the war whales that came to his ears——

"The fourth defender in the north is Redmond Varudo of the Blackfish tribe."

Soult's words settled the dust of today's campaign. He turned around and said to the surroundings again, "Within the territory of the Mist Crow and Chicken Tribes, a farm needs to be given to the defenders for work."

"While the young leader is here, I will settle the affairs of the Guardian Farm."

Redmond's eyes glanced at the Pheasant, and his voice could not be refused, "I want the former Moxey's farm. Whoever doesn't want to can now stand up and raise objections."

The Senji people dare not speak out when they are angry. If eyes could kill, General Blackfish would have died thousands of times at this moment. But as this general said before, if you are not sure of overthrowing his rule, cherish your life.

A Senji warrior mustered up the courage and tried to step forward, but was pulled back by the surrounding warriors.

After waiting for a moment and seeing no one come forward, Redmond spoke again: "Since no one comes forward, I will assume that you approve of my decision. Next is Mist Crow."

He turned to face the new leader of Mist Crow: "Shrut, I heard that your Soros farm is the largest farm in Mist Crow, and it is very suitable for me to serve as the guardian longhouse in your territory. What do you think? "

All the warriors in Black Fish looked at Dao En's brother, who had always been low-key. They all wanted to know whether the new leader of Mist Crow would choose to resist in the face of the power of his leader, or would he choose to cowardly bow his head and endure.

Chief Redmond's concept of using force to subjugate the two families allowed the other party to tolerate it, but it did not require a Mistcrow leader who dared to openly resist. If Shurut chooses the wrong method, he can only find an opportunity to get rid of him.

"I will give up the farm." Shurut's calm voice came out.

"This is the best thing. I'll give you half a day to move out. My people will move in tonight." Redmond said without any doubt.

Shurut paused and looked at his wife and daughter: "Lola, Skadi, take a few people to move our belongings to the small farm first."

In addition to the large farm, Soros also has several small farms. For example, the small farm where Dawn used to live for Gordon is now empty.

Behemoth Varudo watched Kaisen's wife leaving, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes. His wife was far inferior to this Misty Crow woman.

A sharp gaze locked directly on him.

Who is looking for death...

Beamon looked towards the eyes locked on him and saw a pair of eagle eyes.

Eagle Eyes came over and gave a clear warning: Kill me before touching her, otherwise you will die.

Beamon suppressed his anger. This threat from the Hawkeye Man was as confident as his father's threat to the Mori Chicken.

It's really hateful! !

"People of the Mist Crow, who has any objections to your leader's farm being used as my guardian longhouse here?" Redmond said again, his oppressive eyes swept across all the people of the Mist Crow. He wanted to These people take it very seriously to recognize the present situation.

"I have an opinion."

A drunken old drunkard walked in and looked at the hill-like figure, "Blackfish bastard, grandpa has an opinion. The Mist Crow Territory has always been the territory of our people. When will it be your turn to run wild here..."

"Take him down." Shurut said.

The two soldiers immediately dragged the old drunkard out of the venue, but his cursing voice could still be heard in everyone's ears:

"If you dare to occupy our mist crow's territory, I will go to where you live to pee every day. Blackfish bastards, go back to your own blackfish territory, or grandpa will scold you every time he sees you..."

The sound completely faded away and disappeared.

After this little interlude ended, Surte was about to leave, and said to Rayleigh, Bartholomew, and Tash beside him: "It's rare for you to come back, so just stay here and rest for two more days."

Then with the verdict, he walked towards the waiting warship.    …

The sky was getting dark, and all the warriors of the Mori Chicken returned to the Mori Chicken Territory. The leader of the Black Fish had also left with most of his people. Only One-Eyed Youmu and a dozen of his subordinates were stationed at the Soros Farm, cutting down the surrounding trees and setting up outposts. tower.

On the coast, the old leader's body was spliced ​​together and placed in a small boat that the Barnard family had prepared. The small boat was piled with branches coated with flammable grease, and a circle of candles was lit along the edge of the boat.

"Zane Barnard's life is worth remembering. He will become a heroic spirit leader in the temple, and will continue to watch us in the temple, watching the fog crows..." The white prophet finished his prayer and gestured.

Sparrow and Kaysen stepped on the water and pushed the boat a distance, and then pushed it far away.

When the boat floated dozens of meters away, Leader Shurut shot an arrow. The flaming arrow accurately landed on the boat, and the flames started to burn.

boom--

Everyone's pupils were filled with fire until they watched the flame ship disappear completely on the sea.

"Everyone, please don't conflict with the Blackfish people. Let's all go back." Shurut said.

"Chief, there are only One-Eyed Youmu and a dozen warriors left in Thoros Farm. Why don't we just kill them and take back the black coffin." Mountain Bear Victor suggested.

"Captain Victor is right, Chief Shurut, let's go kill them."

"The disappearance of leader Daun and a dozen warriors must be paid with blood by these black fish people."

Victor's proposal immediately aroused the response of the crowd. Captain Sophia also clenched her fists and looked expectantly at the new leader in the old leader's last words.

"No."

Shurut suppressed all his voices, and then looked at Victor, "How do you know that Youm and those dozen people are not traps? Maybe Redmond is outside the coast at this time, or maybe he is coming from the other side. Hunting Mountain is waiting for us to take action.”

With the northern tribes meeting, Kurag announced the use of troops in the central part. At this time, Redmond would have some scruples, but if the fogcrows took action first, it would give him enough reason to suppress the rebellion.

"But, but this is too useless." Victor's heart heaved.

"I know how you feel, but no matter how cowardly you are, you have to endure it. Now is not the time to pay blood debts with blood, and our strength can't do it."

Shurut glanced at all the warriors present, "Again, don't take the initiative to conflict with the Blackfish."

"Listen to Shurut." Sophia unclenched her fist.

Since the old leader has entrusted the important task of leading the tribe to this man, he must be the most suitable leader at the moment.

Victor was still a little unwilling and looked at the highest combat power in the clan: "Sparrow, what do you mean?"

"I'm the same as Sophia." Sparrow looked away from the sea.

Things that require mental consideration will naturally be considered by people like Shurut, Rayleigh, and Kaison. People like myself and Sophia, who are not good at strategy, only need to be responsible for fighting...

Waiting for the sword cry when the black coffin is unsheathed!

"Rayleigh, what do you think?" Jackam asked in a low voice to the dark mask beside him.

The eagle eyes looked in the direction of Soros's farm: "Let's see him build the tall building first."

"What do you mean?"

"Wait."

The eagle's eyes were calm, but deep in the pupils, there was lightning and thunder.

The palm is held by another small hand:

Her black and white eyes are clear and calm. Mellie will fight side by side with her brother, life and death.

……

At dawn, a scream broke the silence of the fogcrow's central residence.

As each tribesman walked out of the house, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the body lying in a pool of blood in front of the tavern.

The old drunkard is dead!

From the unrecognizable facial features and body shape, as well as the dots of blood stains along the way, we can conclude that he was thrown from a high place to death and dragged here.

"Where did the old drunkard go last night?" Bassomo, who lived in the guest longhouse, had already arrived and asked the Mist Crow people who often drank with the old drunkard.

"He said he was going to the Soros farm to pee."

"We thought he was just talking casually..."

For the sudden loss of a drinking buddy, these Mist Crow people looked a little disappointed.

"It must be the Blackfish people. Go ask them for an explanation."

"Commander Basomo, please help us."

Everyone looked expectantly at the fat bird mask who was already the Disaster Knight. The Blackfish people dared to kill people unscrupulously in the Mist Crow Territory. If they couldn't get an explanation, everyone would be in danger in the future.

No one knows whether he will be next or whether he will die suddenly.

Bassomo paused for a moment and began to move towards the direction where the blood was dripping.

"Let's go and ask for an explanation from Commander Bassomo."

A large number of people in the residential area followed suit.

When only their backs were left, Shurut hurried over with his people.

"Chief, do you want to stop them?" Qiong Fu asked.

Ever since the incident of stabbing Bartholomew in the back, he had been arranged by Dawn to join Shurut's fleet. The crew led by Shurut was relatively peaceful and would experience less wind and rain.

Shurut looked away from the front: "Wait a moment."

If the Blackfish people are allowed to cause chaos, the entire Mistcrow will not be able to settle down. As a disaster knight, Bartholomew does not have so many scruples.

"Contain the body first." Shurut led the people to the dead old drunkard.

The old alcoholic has no family. He was also a soldier in the past. His lungs were severely damaged in a battle, so that he could no longer fight and drank for fun all day long.

In his own words: I am a useless person now, and I wish I could die quickly.

Unexpectedly, decades have passed in the blink of an eye——

You are a brave warrior!

Shurut said silently in his heart, squatted down, reached out and closed his eyes.

……

At Soros Farm, Blackfish warriors were chopping wood and building a sentry tower.

Seeing the dark figures coming from a distance, they felt a little unsure. If these Mist Crow people went crazy, they might not be able to survive.

"Don't worry." Youmu greeted him with a black coffin hung on his waist.

Captain Shurut, who should now be called Chief Shurut, has a cautious and peaceful temperament, or he is a tolerant person. Such a person, if he is not sure of defeating his own tribe, will definitely not let the Mist Crow warriors attack the guarding farm.

Yesterday, even the Soros farm was allowed to be given away, which shows that he is a human being.
