Harald, who was like a giant bear, rushed into the enemy formation without hesitation. He saw the fear in the eyes of those soldiers, which made his fighting spirit even stronger.
Harald knew that he was about to embark on a killing spree that would bring fear and death to his enemies, just like he had experienced countless times before.
Throughout Christendom, he had experienced fierce battles in countless places. This was what he loved most. Only being among enemies and bathing in blood and death could make him feel alive.
The most important thing is that his faith has a huge impact on this. Although Harald has converted to Christianity on the surface, in his heart, Harald is still the warrior who pursues Valharad. When he was young, he hid it very well.
, but as he grew older, he no longer hid his experiences of some things.
He understood that in the eyes of the gods, everything in the world was just a stage. Whether it was bowing down to Christ or betraying faith, this was all designed by the gods.
The gods are being forgotten. In the north, in England, and in Ross, these are all happening, and he has witnessed them with his own eyes. Altars are being torn down, and holy places are being forgotten. Although some people still insist on their faith, but in the future
Doesn't belong to them.
However, this is exactly what the gods want to see. They don't care about being forgotten, so there is no harm in following everything the gods have designed. This is what the gods want to see.
Everything in the world is just a stage for the gods to watch the performances of mortals. He, Harald, will use his whole life to present a grand performance to the gods!
Even if he died on the battlefield, he would not regret it at all. In other words, he was pursuing a battlefield where he could die in battle.
Only warriors who died in the great war can ascend to Valhalla. His pursuit has always been the palace of the Aesir, the great Hall of Valor.
Fighting in battle before death and enjoying life in the palace after death, this is the life Harald planned for himself, and in a sense, this is also his final swan song for the Norse epic.
Harald understands better than anyone else that times have changed, and the decline of the northerners is inevitable. Everywhere, the Norse have failed more than succeeded, and their past achievements have become history.
The failure of the conquest of England made Harald face up to the fact that he had always avoided. The heroes had less and less space to display, and the establishment and destruction of the country in the distance became more and more a dream.
Many Norse immigrants also merged with the locals to form new ethnic groups, and then their glory was born, not the glory of the Norse.
An era is passing, the glory of the past ancestors is disappearing like the wind, and the great achievements of conquering and establishing a country are becoming increasingly difficult to repeat.
And he is the last legend of this era, and everything is telling him that that era has passed, truly passed.
Although it was said in the past, Harald did not want to desperately prevent the arrival of the new era. Since everything is the will of the gods, let's do it according to the ideas of the gods.
It is precisely for this reason that he continues to take risks and fight in order to make this last northern hero Saga more beautiful and eye-catching!
Let the descendants even after a thousand years can hear and know something!
The sword in the hand of the King of Norway beheaded a Kiev soldier, and then cut off the arm of another. The blood kept flying, like a beautiful picture. The King of Norway was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Beside him, shields and swords collided suddenly, and the sound of gold and iron resounded throughout the sky. Behind him, the archers on the ship released arrows to cover their king's attack.
These Norwegians used northern longbows and heavy arrows. Faced with such heavy arrows, it was difficult to block the attack even if they were wearing armor, and the soldiers were immediately suppressed even more.
King Harald was the center of the Norwegian army. Soon he was covered in blood and his armor was full of scars, but he still tried his best to kill one Kiev soldier after another.
The fierce assault of the Norwegians drove the elite southern army, which was supposed to tear apart the northern army's front, into retreat. This was the first time for the members of the Guards to face such a fierce enemy.
In the chaos of the battle, the horror of the massacre is truly indescribable. The Kiev and Chernigo women fell like autumn leaves, like grain before a sickle.
Blood spattered all over the earth, and the dark background was stained with the scattered flesh and broken bones of the casualties. War cries about Odin and Thor continued to echo, and the anger of the northerners burned here.
The warriors of Norway shouted the names of Odin and Thor, fought in their names, and looked forward to ascending to the great Hall of Valor.
Harald massacred all the soldiers within his attack range. No one could stop the Norwegian king who stood like a giant on the battlefield. No one could survive under that sword.
A loud roar came from the air, and Harald looked up: it was the enemy's archers who fired a row of arrows. It seemed that Sviatoslav was a little angry, even if it would hit his own people.
Also ordered to shoot.
"coming!"
Harald shouted loudly, raising his shield in front of him again and again. The arrows fell, and the Norwegians blocked them with their raised shields. There was no fear on their faces. No one knew how many times they had seen such a scene.
However, there are always some people who are shot through by arrows through the flesh and blood wrapped in weak armor and cloth. Screams echo, people keep falling down, and there are always people who are pierced by arrows.
More Russians fell than Norwegians. Harald's men were all elites who had been fighting with him for who knows how long. Many of them would hold up their shields and remain motionless even if they were hit by arrows, because if they put them down,
Shield, facing such arrows, even if you are protected by armor, the results will often be tragic.
After the rain of arrows stopped, Harald put down his shield and chopped off the arrows with contempt. His subordinates also followed suit, and then they launched an attack.
A wounded soldier grabbed his leg and tried to stop the king, but the monarch gave him a kick directly. The iron boots knocked out several of the man's teeth, and then the Norwegian soldiers trampled him with iron boots.
Go up.
It was also at this moment that the enemy soldier slammed down the king with an ax in his hand. The experienced king raised his shield to block the blow, and immediately counterattacked. The sword in his hand pierced the soldier's head, blood spattered everywhere, and the skull was broken.
The man's chain veil failed to protect his life, and the chain and blood flew together.
Harald raised his sword and stabbed forward until the hilt of the sword touched the unbearable face of the dead soldier. Then he quickly pulled out the sword. The weapon was stained with red and white liquid mixed with brain and flesh.
"Continue the attack! Kill these weaklings!"
Harald's cry won a round of cheers. This is what the Norwegians like most about their king. They like to go crazy with His Majesty the King. This is why they follow him to this day. Whether it is the coast of Bulgaria or the northern harbor, they
Everyone is willing to go.
"That madman, that madman."
Svyatoslav looked at the performance of the Norwegians and murmured subconsciously, those hundreds of Norsemen who came "by boat" actually beat his thousands of soldiers back in panic!
"Father, look at the front line! Rostislav has launched an assault!"
Gleb's anxious voice sounded, and the Grand Duke of Kiev's mood became worse because of what he saw. He saw that his nephew's flag had moved forward, and the morale of the defeated Moscow militia had been restored.
The Northern Army is pushing the Confederate Army back! And it seems that the Confederate Army is still retreating!
"That kid really caught the key. Damn it, this is the first time I've faced such a situation."
Svyatoslav muttered, he had just seen his nephew's personal cavalry crushing a group of Chernigov spearmen who tried to block their advance, and a group of unarmored skirmishers were massacred by Moscow soldiers,
Not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.
The Confederate army, which originally planned to lead the Union army to death, now fell into an even more embarrassing situation. I have to say that this is really a great irony. God's will is so unpredictable.
"Gleb, go to the Chernigov militia immediately and stabilize the front."
"Yes! Father! I'll go right away. I will definitely stabilize the situation."
Gleb immediately led his cavalry to the battlefield. This was also a large force. There were hundreds of professional cavalry in total, which was enough to change the situation of the battle.
But the prince can only stabilize the situation by going to the front line. If he wants you to change the situation, he must find another way. And Svyatoslav is worthy of being a veteran general for many years. He also quickly figured out the key to the problem——
But the key is also obvious
Now all the problems lie with that madman named Harald. It is precisely because of his desperateness and madness that the powerful force of the Janissaries was not put into the battlefield. It is precisely because of him that Chernigo
The hearts of the husband and the militiamen are in turmoil.
But having found the key to the problem, what to do next is another question. Who can stop this Norwegian lunatic named Harald? One way is to go all-in by the Pereyaslavs and the Polovets, but
They are still turning.
Svyatoslav remembered in distress, he even took off his helmet in a hurry. None of the rotten fish and shrimps in his hands seemed to be able to stop the Norwegian madman.
Is it possible for him to go by himself? But he has no confidence in himself, and he is afraid that he will be killed by Harald in any minute.
"Grand Duke, look there quickly!"
The voice of the soldiers made the Archduke look, and what he saw next was a group of Polish knights rushing towards Harald. Seeing this, the Archduke immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, someone finally came to resist the madman.
As for whether it can be blocked, that can only be seen later...
