Chapter 642 New Patron Saint
England took the lead. Although these Britons had almost no crossbow troops in this era, these farmers who were accustomed to the Roman shield and wall warfare still threw their spears. Although the Vikings raised their shields to resist, there were still people Because the leg was pierced by the spear, he couldn't maintain his balance and fell into the ditch.
The Yorkers yelled and threw spears in order to test the weakness of the Viking army. The Vikings were scolded and smoked, and in retaliation they pulled the throwing axes around their waists in their hands and threw them back.
The leader of the berserker rushed directly to the front of the team to attract the opponent's firepower. He swung the ax tightly, and unlike his strong and tall appearance, he even nimbly grabbed the spear thrown by the opponent from time to time and threw it back. Go back, and kill almost every time.
When the two sides have scolded until the seven holes are full of smoke, and the water ditch can finally surpass others, that is the time when the real battle will take place.
The moment Lynch estimated that he could surpass others, he took the lead in leading a group of big men in bearskins across the ditch, and began to attack the English shield wall along the ditch, trying to find the weakest point.
When the soldiers met, the soldiers on both sides brandished axes and shields, slashing and resisting desperately. Their faces were ferocious, their eyeballs bulged and their teeth were clenched in a bloody confrontation when they fought hard.
The berserkers were extremely brave. Although many of them didn't even wear chain armor in front of the crowd, they were just naked and covered in animal fur, but it was obvious that the potion made from the seeds of the celestial fairy had worked, and they seemed to feel completely Fighting at the forefront of the battlefield without pain, with their strong muscles and indomitable aura, the Britons around them were terrified. They were horrified to find that even if their spears stabbed each other, it would not affect them at all. and if they block with a shield, they will even bite the edge of the shield with their teeth, and then start wielding a huge ax with both hands to kill people, chopping left and right, and many British militiamen died under his sharp ax .
And their leader, Lynch, is obviously the best among them. The bravery of the leader of the berserkers even made Allen look sideways. He gave people the feeling that he had almost reached the limit of the human body. With one hand, he swung the two-handed giant ax that ordinary people might not be able to move, and even the man, the armor and the shield were smashed into pieces by him in one breath.
The battlefield is shrouded in illusions and confusion spells. No one will notice that the souls of the lost comrades and enemies will be sucked into the crystal ball at the bottom of Allen's staff after they lose their breath and stop their heartbeat, and no one will see it. These empty husks that have lost their entire souls are reduced to ashes in seconds - only a few of the dead are lucky enough to survive to allow their souls to travel safely to the underworld to preserve their remains.
Talking to Captain Jack, Allen, who no longer put the guilt on his face, not only arranged illusions, but also cast a vicious curse on this place, so that the wounds of the wounded could not heal. Under the influence of illusions and curses, the subconscious will ignore the fact that they continue to bleed after being injured-until their souls are absorbed after death.
The blood that flowed from the body with their life essence seemed to be summoned, and turned into blood snakes on the ground, rushing towards the high protruding stone. Even if the wounded soldiers lay down in the deep ditch, the blood snakes would go upstream and be absorbed into the red magic stone on the boulder.
And the color of that red magic stone became more and more gorgeous as the blood snake rushed in.
In the eyes of this group of Muggle soldiers, they could only see their comrades fall one after another at a much faster speed than in usual battles. In a short period of time, the corpses were all over the field, and the ditches were filled with corpses. They just think that this war has come very cruelly and fiercely.
The Vikings' tactics were simple and brave. They tried their best to tear through the center of the English defense line, disrupt the enemy's position, and cause the enemy to panic. Unfortunately, they were dragged into the shield wall defense that England is good at. Even if the Berserkers People are brave and good at fighting, which has caused a lot of local advantages,
However, the neat shield wall of the York army made it impossible to see who the balance of victory and defeat was tilting in this battle.
However, this is exactly what the Vikings want the English to feel. King Harald of the Vikings is one of the most experienced generals in this era. He led his elite troops around a bend in the river, hidden from the sight of the English, so that when the tide fell, the water in the ditch would be almost dry. The berserkers and the vanguard immediately attacked the English, and the English had to do what they were used to, using the tactics left over from ancient Rome to form a shield wall and stick to it.
At this time, it was time for Harald, who had fought with different countries for a lifetime, to use the tactics designed by Harald to deal with the English. Harald and Toss led their guards and their respective elite troops along the way. Advancing along the bend of the river, rounding the field, they then attacked the English lines from the rear, trapping them.
It was a glorious and bloody battle for the North of England crowd.
After discovering that they were surrounded, the poor peasants fought desperately in groups. Although they were like lambs rushing into the tiger's mouth, the fearless British continued to attack the Viking beasts with flesh and blood. The old Earl soldier did not give up. With his own guards, he broke into the Vikings' front, and the Nordics' defense line in the ditch collapsed. The old earl thought that the Vikings were about to flee and led his people to continue the counterattack, but sadly, this group of people was far less innocent than it seemed. The Vikings in the hands of the English - the English shield wall has become more fragmented.
The Vikings who have completed the plan are cold-blooded butchers with rich experience in combat. When both sides were in a melee, they fought more and more vigorously in the frantic melee. All of them were like man-eating beasts. The British farmers were devoured by them. Fighting back, his throat was cut like melons and vegetables, his head was chopped off, and his chest was pierced...
Many people who have dreamed of death will fall this day. Fulford's ditch is filled with dead bodies left by Allen's staff before absorbing the soul. The Vikings who have not crossed the river finally step on the corpses. When the ditch is no longer wet shoes.
Unlike other berserkers who fell into post-battle prostration, Lynch, the leader of berserkers, survived the trouble caused by the loss of strength and wandered on the battlefield. Finally, he found the phantom of the old earl's corpse. He looked at it with some admiration. The fake body of an old man who had suffered several wounds and fell down leaned close to his head and said in an almost gentle tone: "Old man with white beard, the Vikings are still here, why do you have to let so many people die?"
After finishing speaking, Lynch stretched out his hand to close the opponent's eyes. After finishing everything, he looked at his palm with some doubts because of the strange touch of his fingers. Then, as a warrior, he turned his head and looked aside, and found a There was a raven on a tree looking at him, and what was a little creepy, Lynch found that the raven had three eyes and its feathers seemed to be made of shadows.
"Fokin or Wuni? Odin is watching me?" It seems that this kind of vision made the leader of the berserkers regard him as the two holy birds on the shoulders of Odin who said he believed in the myth—the legend says that every day At dawn, the two ravens flew away from Odin's shoulders to the world, saw everything in the world, heard about everything in the world, and talked with living and dead things. The world is under their control, and everything cannot escape Odin's eyes and ears. As night approached, the returning ravens landed on Odin's shoulders and told him what they had seen and heard today.
York, the former capital of the Vikings after they invaded England, for Harald the Ruthless, York was his primary goal, a base enough to conquer the whole of Britain, Hadrada and Tosti at the end It has been intentional to capture this place from the beginning.
Now, the victorious Vikings were finally able to rest here, and the entire English of York could only resign themselves to their fate after surrendering. They knew that although their new king would not be indifferent to the loss of their territory, it was impossible to do so. Come and save them from these vicious Vikings.
Allen, who was standing on the boulder, put the basic materials of the Sorcerer's Stone into his pocket. He squinted his eyes and looked around at the Viking Muggle soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield—they were putting most of the already Armors and costumes without bodies are collected as comrades-in-arms, and they are going to take them back to Norway with Viking warships later.
And the slippery feeling from his fingers made Allen look down at his palm that was stained with blood because he picked up the blood-red magic stone just now, and he flicked his fingers to make it clean again.
"Call God to protect you!" He uttered the incantation of the Patronus Charm, and a giant dragon with five heads replaced the original phoenix-shaped Patronus. It appeared from Allen's hands and slapped himself majestically. The huge wings of the dragon began to fly around the battlefield. Although the Muggles couldn't see it, they were infected by the protective power contained in it-they worked harder to carry the relics of their comrades in arms.
"If Nymphadora Tonks still falls in love with the werewolf Remus Lupine, her Patronus will change from her original form to that of a wolf. And Severus Snape The only Death Eater who can use the Patronus Charm, because his love for Lily Evans got him some redemption, and because Luna kept me from being like that poor ancient dark wizard Rashid An ordinary, backfired when trying to summon his patron saint to resist the mouse patron saint of the orphan wizard Ilios, and was devoured by the transformed maggots." Allen, who confirmed his state, breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, most wizarding Patronuses take the form of common animals. Patronuses in the form of magical animals, such as the Thestral Patronus and Fire Dragon Patronus, Albus Dumbledore and the Phoenix Patronus before Allen are very rare. Even rarer Patronus forms are extinct animals, Hedley Fleetwood's Mammoth Patronus being a famous example.
Andros the Invincible was the only wizard known to summon a giant-sized Patronus before, and now Alan Harris is added.
Ironically, although Allen has actually done a lot of evil things, and the power of the patron saint does not depend on his size, but out of his understanding of the Nether scroll and his love for his lover, he did let him The Patronus has become more powerful.
