, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

But he said that Ragnar, who led his tribe into Bremen, was a hard-core man with an iron sword, and when he saw the panicking crowd, he led his troops to chase and kill.

They hacked and killed indiscriminately, and no one would let it go.

The frightened city's morale had long since collapsed, and even the resistance was forgotten, and then he was killed in screams.

But Ragnar didn't care about the enjoyment of killing. He ordered his subordinates to retaliate cleanly. To kill one person with one sword, dispatching these people in the way would help everyone looting.

Ragnar's department groped forward in the lanes. At first they ransacked the houses, but apart from some daily necessities and a batch of stored grain, they found very few silver coins and copper coins.

"You search all the wheat, don't grab the grain first, find a pocket and put all the silver coins you find..."

He gave orders in this way, trying his best to control the madness of the tribe to keep the robbery rationally.

Finally, a subordinate told him: "There are a large number of people crowded south of the city. They seem to want to escape. There is also their temple (referring to the church), which is said to have a lot of gold."

At this moment, Ragnar was overjoyed.

"Then focus on the temple!"

More than two hundred Viking fanatics, led by the blood-stained Ragnar, ran wildly along the road leading to the church.

They took the lead to enter the city square and saw a crowd of civilians scurrying.

Looking at the citizens in the city, a group of guys with bucklers caught their eyes. Apart from holding their heads and screaming, there was only one way to escape.

"It's there." Ragnar pointed straight at the sword. "Enter the monastery, kill them, and take the gold and silver!"

Ragnar's follow-up personnel also entered the city square, and the three hundred last elite Viking warriors of the Stonewall tribe, led by the mad leader, rushed towards St. Peter's Church in Bremen.

In terms of building scale, this church is the largest wooden building in the city, and it has a history of half a century.

The Blue Fox stayed here for a while when he was in trouble, and he has a certain understanding of the history of the church, not to mention that he himself was baptized here. Even so, the blue fox, who was completely in the position of the intruder, was only a little touched by the fall of the church.

As for Ragnar, no one restrained his actions at all. Even the Roths, as allies, wished that these fanatics would kill as much as possible, so as to attract the firepower of the soldiers and civilians of Bremen and give the Roths enough time to grab food.

However, Bremen has completely become an undefended city, and there are sheep everywhere in the city.

Especially this church, it has become a sheepfold.

On the other hand, the senior priest who acted for Eskil to be the bishop of this church still believed in his faith in times of crisis.

He stood on the preaching platform, holding the skinned scriptures over his chest with both hands.

There were another 2,000 believers in the audience, some of them sat anxiously on the benches, and more people randomly found an open space to kneel down, listening to the sermons and praying for miracles.

The priest was singing the content of the Old Testament in Latin. The so-called Messiah happened, the prisoners of Babylon were saved, and the aliens were punished by God.

There is no need to think about logic at this moment.

The city has been breached, and they prayed with expectation that the entire church would become a barrier blessed by the Lord. The power of the sacred faith could form an invisible wall to keep the Normans out, and then quietly waited for the Seraphim to descend. The flames burned the Normans to ashes...

However, a double-edged Nordic forest axe angrily smashed the bronze lock of the church door.

The door suddenly opened.

It was not the angels they were expecting to break in, but a group of ferocious Normans with blonde hair dyed red and shouting Odin.

Ragnar didn't think this was a sacred and inviolable place, but he was shocked by the crowds in front of him. He was cheered. If the entire auditorium were soldiers, his current manpower would be difficult to deal with.

Ragnar and the gang were attracted by the legend of getting rich. They had tried to attack Bremen long ago. In the past, they had only done thankless attacks. Today, getting rich is today. As long as the large group of "obstacles" in front of you are resolved, all the treasures will be collected in burlap pockets.

The cringing crowd screamed in horror, some ran away while screaming, some went faint, and some knelt in place and insisted on praying...

Some Viking warriors were involuntarily panicked in the face of the chaotic crowd: "Boss, what shall we do? Are we going to kill these people?"

"Are you persuading me to be kind?"

"No! There are too many of them. Once we fight, we may be outnumbered..."

Ragnar shook his head severely, and suddenly shouted, "Shield Wall! Kill these enemies! No mercy!"

Knowing that they were a large group of unarmed people, Ragnar, who was indifferent to guilt, recognized them as Frankish fighters. For very realistic reasons, it could have taken the opportunity to catch many captives who sold slaves to make money. Ragnar is unable to do this at present, and kills as much as possible, first to vent the tribe's long-suppressed emotions, and second, it is also for newcomers. Allies of Ross look at what a madman is.

The shield wall was like a meat grinder, and Ragnar entered the church and slammed into it. The shield wall continued to advance, and afterwards were all the people who fell in a pool of blood.

The priests were all panicked, and even led the people to rush out from the side door of the church. However, the two side doors are not big, causing congestion in a short time.

The fear was even worse, they began to trample on each other again, and many people were trampled to death.

In this enclosed space, the sacred and noble St. Peter's Church becomes a place.

Even Ragnar couldn't think that he led the killing so smoothly. Behind them was already full of **** corpses. The blood pooled into a river and exited the main entrance of the church.

In terms of the scale of the killing, the tragedy that occurred in Bremen in 836 was even more terrifying than the tragedy of Lindisfarn Abbey in 792.

More than a thousand people were killed, and nearly a thousand people still escaped through the two side doors.

Ragnar and his people were also exhausted, but the brothers felt that their achievements were destined to move Odin, and the dead were all so-called sacrifices to the gods of Asgard. Although they were panting with exhaustion and even the iron sword curled up, their pursuit and killing continued.

As many as ten priests wearing black robes were not killed directly, but were escorted outdoors to be used as priests.

Ragnar is not a brainless butcher. He knows what Frank's "priest" is. It is the best sacrifice to publicly kill such people.

At this time, the late Ross army arrived at the church.

Arik saw the dead lying outside and a dark red river flowing out of the church.

This was the first time I saw the blue fox, thinking that I had lived here, I never thought it became a battlefield.

Ragnar tried to keep his mind sober, suppressing his beating heart. Seeing that Arik had finally arrived, he proudly pointed to the church where there was no big problem on the surface: "I killed a thousand people. This is a great feat. My people grabbed some gold and silver! Damn it, gold and silver. The piled mountain does not exist."

"Ah!? You only have three hundred people, killing a thousand people in such a short time?!" How can Arik not be surprised? This figure is too exaggerated.

"I did it. You! I must admit my bravery."

"Don't talk about it for now. Keep chasing them! Let's go, Ragnar brothers, and continue to avenge Frank." After that, Arik patted Ragnar on the shoulder and led his troops toward the south of the city where the roar turned into a roar. go

Ragnar gritted his teeth and greeted his brother: "Bring the gold and silver you grabbed and continue to fight with me! Kill the Franks, and then we will slowly search."

The Viking fanatics, covered in blood and sweat, took a short rest and entered the final battle. At this moment, they will encircle and suppress the last enemy in the south of the city by the Russian army.

Arik had already arrived with the team first, and when he saw the crowded people, he fell into entanglement on the spot.

According to their own inherent principles, the enemy women should not be killed. They should be **** and transported to their hometown and sold. Eventually these women will be incorporated by the Ross people and become the mothers of a new generation of Ross fighters. Given the Nordic traditional tribal ideas, all tribes should do the same.

When he had a hint of compassion, Jeflo suddenly asked: "Aric, do you do it now? According to the Prince's order, we must be merciless."

Just one glance, Arik's kindness was suddenly fleeting.

"All archers!" he said, "array, archery!"

Arik is indeed different from Ragnar. After experiencing too much actual combat, he has become more and more fond of the strategy of using arrows to defend against the enemy. Actual combat has proved that this is an excellent way to reduce his own losses.

But the flavor of the battle has changed, and even the shooter feels that his attack is nothing honorable.

Those scurrying around are unarmed people, and their actions are to escape the city. They clearly squeezed at the gate and were rushing outwards so hard that the double wooden doors that opened inward couldn't be opened at all! Of course, even if it is opened, there is still a hanging door that needs to be pulled up with a winch, and the refugees will still not be able to rush out unless the door is pulled.

The wall was also full of people, and a large number of people wandered in despair.

Arrows fly mercilessly, crossbows and longbows mercilessly shoot at this large group of unarmored targets.

In fact, there are already a group of people who have fled down the city wall along the ropes, and some of them have been injured by falls, dragging their injured limbs and forcibly leaving.

There are still more than four thousand people crowded in the southern part of Bremen, and the arrow attacks of the Ross people undoubtedly made the already bad situation worse.

"He who shoots at the wall, hurry up!" Yevlo ordered.

In terms of combat experience, Jeflo is actually more than Arik. When he was younger, he had to fight for the former gold master Gould, and he always experienced 50 people fighting to death at once. Small-scale battles are all about frightening the enemy in momentum, and large-scale battles are even more important.

Those who wandered down the city wall fearfully jumped and fell to their deaths became live targets. At first, there were arrows hitting them, and then they became hitting arrows one after another, and many people fell for it.

The panic intensified, and at this moment Ragnar finally arrived with his army.

Without any words, Arik and Ragnar looked at each other and started to cooperate with the killing in a tacit understanding.

This was not a battle between armies at all. Merchants, craftsmen, farmers, and even a large number of women were mercilessly hacked and killed by Ragnar's Viking warriors. The same is true for the Russian army. Even if Arik moved a little compassion, his subordinates had a completely different attitude. They didn't think it was a group of non-combatants, just a group of cowards who hadn't had time to take up arms and fight.

On one side, a shield wall constitutes a terrifying meat grinder propelling slash, and on the other side, dense arrows descend from the sky.

A large number of people who tried to escape realized that it was meaningless to go to the south gate, so they could only take the risk.

Don't think about jumping off to death and injury anymore, a large number of people walked up the city wall at the risk of being shot, and then took a leap with their eyes closed.

Some people broke their necks or fractured their skulls, and such people died immediately. Some people broke their arms and staggered with their arms in their hands. Some broke their legs and even escaped from Bremen, which was turned into **** on earth, by crawling.

Arik saw a miracle. It has been eight years since he fought for Rose. In eight years, he has not seen such a crazy fugitive.

"Cowards! You dare to jump off the wall, and you don't have the guts to fight with us!"

This shocking scene even aroused his anger, and he yelled further: "Brothers! No mercy! Help them jump the wall and fall to death!"

Indeed, a large number of people who jumped off the wall were disabled at first, but a large number of loose "sandbags" appeared under the wall. This is a group of people who fell to death, was shot and fell. The existence of a large number of corpses gave the successors enough. buffer.

Like a lemming jumping into the sea, the panicked people of Bremen jumped forward, and even the mother clung her child in her arms and jumped off in anger.

At least there is a possibility of survival if you jump down. Check it out! The living people who jumped off have ran away on the field where there is only one field of stubble left after harvesting the wheat.

As a result, the killing of the coalition forces quickly ended, and even because of excessive exhaustion, Ragnar saw the enemy frantically jumping off the wall and fleeing, and there was no need to wave the prisoner of war with his sore arm to kill. On the other hand, considering the need to save arrows, the Finns of Jeflo, who hold a longbow, also suspended their attacks.

At the last moment, the coalition forces watched fiercely as the last more than one hundred people jumped the wall and escaped for their lives.

Until this time, the coalition soldiers stepped on the dead body and boarded the wooden city wall, looking at the mixed feelings of the Bremenites who were gradually running away.

"There is no need to pursue it anymore." Arik standing on the city wall couldn't help but sigh.

Ragnar sighed, and then echoed: "Killing cowards is not honorable. But I caught ten of their priests, which is reflected in the sun in the sky, just to worship Odin."

"Whatever you do! I have no affection for those priests. Have you grabbed a lot of gold and silver?"

"I got some in the church." Ragnar managed to squeeze a smile to cover up his exhaustion.

"Well, we Ross people didn't find any other treasures except to get a lot of wheat. We had an appointment. You grabbed the gold, and I have nothing to say. Next, we robbed the city square as the boundary, remember It is the last kindness of you and me to add a sword to those who are dying."

"Just do it."

In the evening, Ragnar held a sacrifice in public, and the ten priests who were captured were cut off by him in public.

What's even crazier is that the blue fox who took off his helmet was at the scene, and the murderer was that he deliberately lit up the cross on his chest. Although he has renewed his beard, he hasn't grown too outrageous in months. The acting bishop to be executed recognized the identity of the blue fox.

"Joseph! You are a betrayer! It was you who led the Normans to Bremen, and the Lord would impose a divine penalty! You would be burned to death!" This was the last uprightness of the acting bishop.

The Blue Fox was unmoved. He participated in the action as a warrior of Odin. As a result, he also hung a cross pendant. He himself was full of contradictions.

The blue fox himself knew clearly: "Don't forget! The Ross people are also Normans! Your king killed many Ross people, this is our revenge! I have no revenge against you, but you must die. Eski You have been controlled by us, obviously the Lord will not help you anymore."

At the end of the sacrifice, the exhausted soldiers of Ragnar were roaring in a carnival. They searched further for the spoils, this time they searched very carefully, iron, copper, and silver coins should be looked for carefully.

The same Ross people are also looking for these things, and the two sides have made a temporary treaty for this. The treaty was proposed by Arik, and Ragnar felt that it was fair. The so-called border was the central square of the city, with Ross looting to the north and Ragnar to the south. The reason Ragnar feels fair is because he thinks he has picked up a big bargain. He has obtained a batch of church gold and silver utensils, but he does not know that Ross is a great harvest.

How much rye stock is in the seized granary? It may reach a million pounds, and just carrying it away is a hassle.

So what does one hundred pounds of wheat mean? According to the agreement with Prince Rurik, the army can get half of the spoils, and then it is divided equally according to the number of soldiers and sailors. On average, each person can get exactly one thousand pounds of wheat. If this is the case, the whole year's food rations of a family will probably be grabbed. Even if it was to be exchanged for money, the prince had already said that it was purchased at the price of ten pounds of wheat and one silver coin, and the settlement was immediately settled.

Looking back at this large granary firmly controlled by the Russian army, Arik, who was holding a torch in the evening, checked them carefully and couldn't help feeling: "Maybe I have not brought enough ships!"

That night ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the coalition forces spent the night in a city full of corpses.

Ragnar's department found a group of women who immediately became the playthings of this group of victors, but they were killed. They used the food they seized to make a delicious meal. Although they don't know how much the Russ have seized, Ragnar boasts that he has made a fortune this time. This life has never been so crazy and happy as it is today. This is the joy of making a fortune. The revenge is refreshing. The central square of the city is an obvious open space. Ragnar brought non-combatants from outside the city into the city, sharing the victory, and at the same time, gathered manpower to wait until tomorrow to carry the spoils of war outside the city.

The Ross people are the same, but from the beginning of the night, the work of moving food will start. The small trolley with the torsion slingshot unloaded the slingshot and carried the sackcloth bag full of rye. A large number of bonfires were lit on the dock firmly controlled by the fleet for lighting, and the tired soldiers rested a lot. The professional sailors disembarked and began transporting wheat. This work will be carried out throughout the night until tomorrow morning when the awakened main force begins to participate in the operation.

Both Arik and Ragnar reached a consensus that it is not appropriate to stay here for long. Ragnar has already explained that there is a chase behind him, so the window period for fighting and plundering for the coalition forces is very short. Even if everyone is very tired, the plunder must be completed within two days, and then retreat to a safe area after a good rest. Figure out the way again.
