In the firelight, Ulf looked at Ange's beautiful back, and his heart was shaken. It was impossible not to be moved by Ange, but in this harsh war-torn environment, he had no thoughts now.

Talking about love, after all, death may come to everyone at any time.

The crow was circling overhead again. Ulf put his hands on the back of his head and lay comfortably on the animal skin blanket. Black Carbon ran over from nowhere, and there was some blood on his mouth. It should be

Go hunting alone in the forest.

It was as elegant as a king in the jungle. It stared at Ulf's face with its turquoise eyes for a while, then squeezed its big furry head under Ulf's arm and yawned loudly.

Lying next to him, her brush-like tail wagged.

Ulf smiled bitterly, patted its head with his hand, and scratched the hair on Heitan's belly. He didn't know where he had been improving his food recently, and his belly was so round.

Heitan stuck out his big tongue, spitting out hot breath, his eyes almost narrowed into slits, and he slowly fell asleep.

The next morning

Ange led several shield maidens to set off to look for traces of Alfred's army. Originally, Guzlen had sent many spies to investigate. Most of them were light infantry carrying an axe, and were good at drilling into the woods.

, crawling on the hills to observe the enemy's movements, but he is not good at making surprise attacks.

The shield girls led by Ange have experienced hundreds of battles, and Sigrid also participated in them. She just wanted to leave the strict military discipline camp and relax.

"Don't cause trouble for me, or I will kill you with my own hands." Although Ange agreed to take Sigrid with him, he warned her not to hold him back.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Sigrid played with the flying knife in her hand nonchalantly. She knew that the battle was coming, and everyone was tense. If Alfred intercepted him at this time,

If they go out, they may run the risk of being driven into the sea.

The shield girls carried round shields on their backs, carried axes, and carried long-handled axes. This heavy weapon was undoubtedly fatal to the Saxons, but such heavy equipment required walking quickly on the muddy ground and over the mountains.

The mountain is indeed very difficult.

But Ange and the shield girls will not complain about hardship. They know very well that to get the same honor as men, they need to work harder. Ulf asked Ange to lead a raid composed of pure shield girls.

The army has been looked down upon by many people. Although Viking women do not sit at home or in churches like Saxon women, waiting for the protection of men, it is an indisputable fact that women's body structure is inherently weaker than men.

Therefore, during every battle, the shield maidens would be mixed with other Vikings.

"Huh." The wind blew through the hilly grassland, but Ange and others were lying on the ground, letting the swaying grass tips scratch their cheeks, because below the hills, it was the army led by Alfred who was walking slowly.

.

Under the colorful flags, the Saxon army marched slowly, their footsteps sounded like a mixed stream, and their voices hovered in the sky. Knights and nobles in armor, riding on tall horses, swayed majestically and were surrounded by soldiers,

Their uniforms with the crests of various families are bright and eye-catching.

In the middle of the entire team, the flag of the King of Wessex was flying. Although Ange and others couldn't see clearly whether the man on the horse was Alfred, they were sure that this time the King of Wessex's flag was flying. The army really came out in full force.

"There are too many people!" Sigrid lay next to Ange, her brows furrowed, looking at the number of Saxons, she couldn't help but said worriedly.

"Shh." Ange hissed softly, glared at Sigrid, and then cautiously stepped back and crawled back.

Valley Award

They were going to cause a little trouble to the Saxons when night fell. Since they couldn't light a fire, they could only hide in the woods and eat some hard dried meat and drink some water from the puddles in the woods.

While drinking the water from the puddle, Ange suddenly remembered that Ulf always advised her to drink water boiled with fire. She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly. For Ange and others, Ulf He is a unique and eccentric person, but this does not affect their love for him.

"You remember him." Sigrid is like a nagging and annoying child. She can't sit still. If she can't move, her mouth will keep making sounds.

Ange rolled his eyes and ignored Sigrid. He just bit off a piece of the dried meat in his hand with his teeth, and then chewed it vigorously with his cheeks.

"Look, what I said is right, you do miss him." Seeing that Ange ignored her, Sigrid said proudly, her eyes full of cunning.

"Shut up and eat something. We won't have time to replenish our strength at night." Ange glanced at her and reminded her.

"Hey, don't you think Ulf is a very strange person?" But Sigrid didn't listen to Ange. She squatted next to Ange and said instead.

"What are you trying to say? Ulf is our leader and we should obey him." Ange felt a little regretful. He should not have brought Sigrid with him. This was completely asking for trouble.

"He is like a person from a different world. He knows a lot, but he seems to have heard about many things that children know for the first time." Sigrid picked off a pine needle and played with it on her fingertips. With a thoughtful expression on his face, he said to Ange.

Ange was stunned for a moment. In fact, she had always felt this way, but she only thought it was her own illusion, so she hid it in her heart. She didn't expect Sigrid to have the same feeling.

"Maybe he comes from the world of gods?" At this time, a shield girl next to him smiled and said to Sigrid.

"Maybe, maybe it's true, then will he go back one day?" Sigrid did not take the other party's joke as a joke, but said to Ange seriously.

"Concentrate on the matter in front of you. We don't need to worry about the realm of the gods." Ange's heart was blocked. Sigrid's words were like a heavy punch, hitting her heart hard. This was also her heart. The thing that worried her the most, so she quickly interrupted Sigrid.

The sun gradually sets in the west

At this time, the Saxon army stopped and set up camp after walking for a while. The huge number of people destined them to not be able to walk too fast. The limit of walking five or six miles a day was already the limit.
