Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 165 Elegy, the last straw

Crocodile City, the blacksmith shop at night.

Reilly returned here carrying a treasure box, opened the door and put it down. Delph, who was beside the bonfire in the house, opened his eyes:

"Ren, what are you doing?"

"I will repay your favor stone, and we will be clean from now on." Rayleigh said in an indifferent tone.

The blacksmith took the sharp sword beside the campfire, stood up and walked over: "So, should I call you Renn or Rayleigh?"

At such an age, it is not normal to think that he can defeat an elite captain head-on.

Whether it was the name Captain Firebird shouted before his death, or what the young man in front of him said before, his talent was probably higher than anyone he had ever seen.

So many coincidences, the identity is about to emerge——

They were not mercenaries from the west who wanted to restore the family's glory, but a spy from the north. I heard that the war god of the north, Kurag, was going to lead an army to invade the territory of the Niugui tribe, so this spy was his enemy.

"Delph, you are no match for me. After all, we have worked together here for so long. I would like to advise you again. The position of your Niugui clan is too bad to withstand the attacks from both sides of the North and Nine Snakes. Leave the central part as soon as possible and don't stay here. Die here." A calm voice came out as the eagle's eyes looked at the lame man walking over.

Kulag obviously had no intention of hiding the battle in the northern invasion, otherwise he would not have heard about it throughout the central region.

This is to use an upright battle to completely establish and establish the name of the God of War in the North. Since they dare to put it on the table, it is conceivable that the force that invades the central part this time will be extremely terrifying.

In terms of top-end combat power, the entire central region is not as good as the northern border, let alone only half of the central region.

"We, the Niugui clan, don't have any weak points. Stop talking nonsense. Since you are a spy, please spare your life." As Delph spoke, he suddenly thrust out his long sword.

The green sword light was unsheathed, and he blocked the long sword with one strike. The scabbard swept towards the prosthetic limb at the same time, the prosthetic limb lifted off the ground, and the blacksmith's body fell to the ground.

Rayleigh's eyes were cold and he stabbed the blacksmith's other leg with his sword: "You did your best."

Sheathed the sword and walked towards the door.

"You coward, if you have the ability to kill me, you won't achieve great success by sparing your hands against the enemy." Delph tried to get up, but fell to the ground again, and his heart was extremely complicated for a moment.

It would be great if such a genius belonged to the Niugui tribe, but he happened to be from the enemy camp.

"Finn, you go kill him."

"Teacher, I can't beat you."

Finn held the hammer and did not choose to follow. He watched the figure gradually disappear out of the street.

……

Leaving the blacksmith shop, Rayleigh went directly to the port. On the street in front of him, there was a slightly weird figure sweeping away garbage.

"Overlord, Overlord." Bloom took off his cloak, a flash of excitement flashed across his eyes.

A few months ago, he witnessed Finn being recognized and arrested. In the past few months, he did not dare to go to the clay battlefield to show his strength, and only dared to do some menial jobs here.

Naturally, he was also watching the showdown in Shield Girl Alley during the day. He originally thought that the Overlord was very strong, but he still underestimated this person's strength.

"I'm ready to leave, do you want to leave?" Reilly asked.

"Yeah." Bloom quickly followed.

The two walked out of the city gate and came to the port. The soldiers on the road didn't dare to stop them when they saw the new giant.

The soldier captain at the port asked one more question: "Big Ren, where are you going?"

"Fishing, this is the money for renting a boat." Reilly threw out a small bag of coins and led Bloom towards a small fishing boat.

"Big Ren, you gave me too much." The soldier captain opened his money bag and said quickly.

"Use the extra to buy drinks for the brothers."

Rayleigh replied casually, and the small fishing boat quickly left the port.

"Thank you, Giant Renne." The soldier captain was in a happy mood and felt that this giant was really a good person.

Soon after, a large number of soldiers arrived, along with a huge figure.

The soldier captain stepped forward quickly: "City Lord, do you know what happened?"

"Where's Ren?" Olev's thunderous voice came out.

Just now, Finn, the disciple of Delph Blacksmith, came to tell him that regarding what happened there, there is no doubt that Renn is the general from the north.

"Ren has left, saying he went fishing." the soldier captain replied.

"How long have you been gone?"

"About ten minutes."

"City Lord, do you want to pursue me?" a captain asked.

"That's all, after such a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up." Olev felt regretful that he could not keep the genius' life here.

……

One day later, Rayleigh returned to the Mist Crow Territory, while Broome returned to the Fern Strait on the transport ship of the Deaver Chapter.

At Bastion Farm, a family of three reunited for half a year.

"Dean of the tribe is dead." Itia suddenly said.

"Dean?"

"Yes, it's Maureen's child, who was in the same class as you before." Itia sighed and said, "I collided with Redmond's son in the Haast Strait and was killed on the spot, three months ago."

"Yeah." A flash of memory flashed across the eagle's eyes.

A fat man sitting in the stern of the boat came to the three of them hesitantly and took out a handful of candies from his arms: "Rayleigh, do you want to eat candies?"

He stopped thinking when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps.

The door of the house was pushed open, and a haggard and haggard woman walked in:

"Captain Rayleigh, Itia, you have to help me. You also know Dean's character. He has always been timid and will not go against the black fish demon. He killed my child for no reason. Please do it." Help me and give Dean justice."

The woman continued: "I went to Chief Shurut, but he was unwilling to help me. I also went to Calamity Manor, and Bartholomew was unwilling to see me. Rayleigh, you are the only one who can help me."

"Maureen, don't worry first." Itia sighed faintly.

The Maureen in front of her was also a poor woman. Her husband died of illness a year ago, and now her only child has also died.

"How do you want me to help you?" Riley asked.

The woman's eyes suddenly became ferocious: "Kill Behemoth Varudo, I want that demon to die."

Reilly hesitated for a moment and said, "Sorry, I can't do it right now."

"Itia, considering our relationship over the years, if you ask Rayleigh to help me kill him, I can give you anything, including my farm."

There was expectation in the woman's eyes, "Maybe Rayleigh can ask the young leader of the war whale to come forward, and he will definitely be able to deal with that demon."

"Maureen, it's not that Rayleigh doesn't want to help you. The war is imminent and the war whale cannot show up." Itia analyzed, "The demon will die, but now is not a good time."

"I have been waiting for more than three months, how long do I have to wait?"

The woman's expectant eyes dimmed, "No one is willing to help me at all. I thought that when Itiya and your man come back, I can get my revenge, but in the end you are not willing, and you only hate that I am not a warrior."

"Excuse me." The woman turned and left.

Itia chased after him: "Mauren, it's not that we are unwilling, but you may need to wait for a while..."

"Itia, don't worry. I won't overestimate my capabilities and assassinate that demon. Let me be alone." The woman looked back and said, turning around and leaving again.    …

The next day, news reaches Bastion Farm that Maureen is dead.

Die by suicide!

……

Reilly walked towards the dock in silence. For her, after waiting for more than three months, no one was willing or able to help her get revenge. She was probably the last straw.

Maybe if she didn't return to the tribe first, she could still be alive. After all, there was still hope.

Why do people pursue an independent regime?

This is probably the reason. When you are living under someone else's roof, with all the Celestial Dragons standing above your head, you can only hope that the Celestial Dragons are good people, but things often don't go as you wish.

If you bow your head and surrender, you will sooner or later become a piece of fish on the chopping board.

……

War Whale Territory, Disaster Manor.

When Bloom walked into the foot of the mountain, he could hear the people who had returned talking to each other about what they had seen and heard in the middle.

"Kabedi, where have you been?"

"I went to Basho Ling." A slightly childish voice replied.

"Have you seen the shield maiden leader of Basho collar? What does he look like?"

"I saw it. They are very tall. They are tall and thick. They are as tall as an ogre, but slightly smaller in size." Kabedi continued, "The shield maidens of Basho Girl are not very good-looking, and their faces all look like... Very tough.”

"Bloom is back, tell me, where have you been?"

Everyone looked at the Bigfoot man walking over.

"I went to Crocodile City." Bloom replied with some embarrassment.

"It's really embarrassing. Look at the few of us, no one chooses to go to the safest Crocodile City." Shrimp Man Malz used to sneer.

Bloom didn't refute. He didn't have much ambition in the first place and just wanted to complete the mission safely.

He then asked: "Where have you all been?"

Malz replied: "Heng Crab and I, as well as Sword Wolf and Eagle, all went to the Giant Territory. Shell and Chicken went to the Basho Territory. Dogs, horses and turtles wandered back and forth between White Bone Mountain and Niugui Mountain."

"What do you mean by wandering back and forth? It's like we don't do anything." Black Dog retorted, "We have done a lot of good things in that area. Now when the tribes there see us, they all have to call us Brother Dog with respect. "

Ma Qiao followed: "There are also Brother Ma and Brother Turtle."

Adolf continued: "We originally thought that we should be able to meet the Overlord in that area, but after looking for it for half a year, we couldn't find it. The Overlord disappeared mysteriously."

Bloom took over: "The Overlord is in Crocodile City. How can you find it in Bone Mountain and Niugui Mountain?"

"No way!!"

"A person as powerful as the Overlord actually ran to hide in the safest Crocodile City. What is this? This is a typical case of laziness and inaction on missions."

"That is, the young leader must deduct two quarters of his salary."

Not only the dogs, horses, turtles, but also the shrimps, soldiers, crabs, and generals were all unconvinced. If they had not bumped into the patrol team of the jackal tribe in the giant territory, they would have almost become food for the giant territory.

This mission can be said to have gone through a near-death experience, but the strongest among them was lazy and did not do anything. This headband is disgraceful and shameful.

"Ahem." Bloom coughed, "The Overlord killed the Firebird remnant Bloodaxe Mongo in Crocodile City. He did not do nothing, and before leaving, he was already one of the three giants in Crocodile City."

"What did you say?"

Everyone opened their mouths and asked him to explore the information, and he turned out to be one of the enemy's big bosses.

What is this! !

"As expected of an overlord, he is awesome."

“The Overlord is convincing and breathtaking.”

Everyone immediately admired him.

Black Dog spoke again: "Broom, please tell me how the Overlord killed Blood Ax Mongo. That guy was a famous captain and was not weak at all."

"Open challenge, kill head on."

Bloom's words made everyone become more and more stunned.

After only half a year, today's overlord can kill an elite captain head-on. This growth is too terrifying.

"I feel like I can't even touch the dust after the Overlord walked by." Black Dog said dejectedly.

"Ugh……"

It caused sighs from all around.

"Let's talk about something pleasant, Bloom. That timid guy Finn should be in Crocodile City too, right?"

"Finn is dead." Bloom sighed. "It is probably because his big ears were too obvious that he was recognized and publicly executed as a spy."

"..."

After hearing this news, the surrounding air suddenly became silent, and everyone's mood became more and more unhappy. After all, they had been together for a year and had a certain friendship.

I think back on how high-spirited Finn was back then.

He once said to Adolf: "The meat has been returned to you, so you can take care of yourself."

He even dared to scold the overlord: "You have done a lot of bad things and your virtue is not worthy of you. Now I order you to get out of this room immediately, otherwise you will have to eat firewood."

Now, all that remains is memories.

……

A week later, the northern lord Kurag issued a conscription order, ordering all warriors from all tribes to gather at the Fern North Port Barracks before August.

During this period, Rayleigh, who returned to the Fern Strait, was personally received by Kurag. Due to his achievement in killing the Firebird Captain, his position was once again promoted from trainee disaster knight to official disaster knight.

The salary per quarter has been increased from the original 50 silver coins to 100 silver coins.

Salaries for spring and summer are also distributed: spring salary is 50 silver coins, summer salary is 100 silver coins, basic salary for tasks is 30 coins, and extra reward for outstanding performance is 50 silver coins.

A total of 230 silver coins were obtained!

As the various defenders and soldiers arrived one after another, the disaster knights of the manor had to stay at the port every day and act as a law enforcement team to maintain the security of the Northport military camp.

There are three days left until the end of August, and except for the Green Grass Plains Army and the Bone Frost Warriors of Fire Man Nubis, all the people from all races have arrived.

Scarlet Giant Ax Redmond led a total of 450 warriors from the three tribes of Black Fish, Mist Crow and Mori Chicken, including 100 Mori Chicken, 150 Misty Crow and 200 Black Fish.

The giant deer Zarki brought over 150 long-clawed warriors in full chainmail.

Kulag himself also led 400 war whale warriors and lived in Beigang Military Camp.

In addition, the Ash Sword Quen brought 250 sword wolf warriors, the Mountain Eagle brought 200 Eagle Mountain warriors, and the leaderless ones brought from shrimps, crabs, turtles, frogmen, conches...the original Rock Territory , Firebird Territory, Giant Wolf Territory, etc. brought a total of 1000 warriors.

The new force Prisoner Island Deaver came to Beigang with a few leaders. His 400 men were worryingly weak and not elite enough. They were responsible for logistics and material transportation.
