C280 Berserker and Rescue (1/2)

The battle strength of the Vikings was unquestionable.

As one of the few peoples living in the Arctic Circle on Earth, this group was one of the top five nations in the world with individual combat prowess.

In fact, in the Viking era, there were few people who could beat the Vikings in a one-on-one fight.

Many times throughout the world, perhaps only those Marseilles living on the shores of Lake Victoria could fight them.

However, considering that the Marseilles were monsters who could scare away an African lion with just a glare, it was no surprise.

In fact, from childhood onwards, the Vikings loved a variety of competitive games.

They competed in horsemanship, weightlifting, boating, sails and swimming, and the annual Clan Gathering was also the Nordic Olympics.

Their favorite sport was wrestling. Usually, they would draw an open space with a sharp tip placed in the middle. The two competitors would forcefully push each other onto the rock. They also competed in archery, skiing, and skating. All of these competitions were for the sake of building stronger warriors.

Even the games that winter played in the house were the same — board games from Arabia, always centered around offensive and defensive techniques.

The Wiggin were strong fighters, and their numbers were small, so they had to rely on careful planning and surprise raids. In the battle they were unusually fanatical and unafraid of death, so people talked about the pirate sex change.

Their assault was usually divided into two parts: first throwing spears from a distance, then cutting them at close range with swords and axes.

When they met at sea, the pirates followed an ancient tradition of tying the ships together without a word.

Placing a springboard on the bow of the ship and then going up on the duels one by one, everyone on the springboard was faced with the fate of either killing each other or dying in battle, with their companions to avenge them.

If you were afraid, you could turn around and jump into the sea. No one would chase a deserter, but those who gave up their qualification to fight were no different from those who died. From then on, even their families would ignore his existence.

Viking people believed in many gods, men and women, and different spirits looked after different aspects of everyday life.

From time to time, they would appear everywhere, allowing the right things to happen at the right time and place.

Legend has it that the gods live in a place called Asgard, which is the equivalent of Heaven.

In the subterranean world, naturally, there was also hell called Neflheim.

The pirates firmly believed that if a man died in battle, his soul could enter the Temple of Valhalla in Asgard, the Kingdom of Heaven, where the heroic spirits of the brave drank banquets, sang songs, and told legends.

If the one who was born a soldier died in a bed, then he was only fit to enter the Underworld.

From this point of view, the Vikings believed that death was only a journey to another world, and that they were stacking the graves of the dead for their use on the road.

There was food and clothing, all sorts of tools, and all sorts of weapons.

What's more, if the king or a great hero were to die, they would bury the dead ship with him, a famous ”pirate funeral.”

Almost every Viking was a terrifyingly strong warrior because of culture, tradition, race, environment, and so on.

What Xiao Wen didn't know was that the rabbi in front of him was not only a Viking, but also a berserker.

Berserkers were the first ones to take the field in the battle of the Vikings.

They were usually the most elite warriors. They were bare-chested in battle, letting out rough roars and enjoying the battle without feeling.

They knew that the gangplank beneath their feet was soaked with the blood of their ancestors, and that their descendants would live in the same place. Anger makes the Viking look powerful and frightening, and the warrior is called Berserker.

According to the orders, the Viking had been taken over by a Viking merchant, a Venetian merchant, an Arab merchant, a Mongolian merchant, and a burly merchant on his way to Huaxia.

In the process, he hadn't forgotten to run away.

From the ice plains of northern Europe, to the districts of Venice and Egypt, to the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, the highlands of Iran and Inner Mongolia, the Viking had planned more than thirty escapes. More than fifty of his slave masters had been killed.

If it was an ordinary slave, they would have died long ago.

However, the Venetian merchant who took over the slave at a low price had a good sense of business.
