Chapter 653： March

In Yorkshire, two hundred miles north of London, by a crystal clear stream, Toffee patted the cold stream on their cheeks and enjoyed this rare and relaxing time. The sound of the horseshoes kept approaching, and they looked away, and saw a chestnut English pony in the distance carrying a soldier galloping in the direction of the bridge. They could not help stopping their movements, paying attention to this person One ride dynamic.

At this moment, a soldier hurried to the bridge and found Oddgar, one of Harold's bodyguards and one of the recruiters. "Adult ..." He came hurriedly and approached Austria with anxiety. After whispering a few words, Degas immediately turned around and climbed the horse to continue running towards the camp.

"Hi, everyone get up!" Aude shouted loudly. "We set off and get up!"

The militiamen rested by the stream, with a trace of boredom and impatience, but helpless, they stood up obediently and looked at their leader suspiciously.

"Leofric, because of the merit of killing the leader of the Viking Berserker before, I promoted you to be the captain, and you swear while marching." Half of Audgar leaned out of the bridge, pointing to tall and thin Leo Frick ordered.

"What's so urgent?" Leofrick didn't care too much about his promotion. Anyway, as long as he played his rod, he would still return to the farmer. At most, it was just more rewards. What he cares about now is what What happened, he asked what everyone wanted to know.

"The Normans are coming!" Odgar said worriedly. "They have invaded after the combat season and they have landed in Sussex!"

"Sussex?" The young Tofei lifted his heart and asked in a whisper, that was their hometown, and all their relatives were in the village of Crochster near Sussex.

"Get up, let's go." Ordega screamed with his arms raised.

"Do you know where they are now?" Tofi asked, "Where are they in Sussex?" Tofi was so anxious that they fought outside and were too far away from the Normans who had occupied their homeland.

"According to the intelligence of the agents who kept changing new horses along the way, they appeared in Pevensey in Sussex ... Then they quickly occupied the neighboring town of Black Stins." Odgar felt some emotion. The Earl of Wessex is the heart of the new king, and it is almost so now that the Normans won it without a soldier. This is undoubtedly a major blow to the English, and the enemy did not immediately attack London but The establishment of a stable rear here means that the surrounding villages lacking the protection of young people are exposed to this group of Normans who are also descendants of Vikings in the name of brutality ...

Britons who do not have enough time to recuperate are so desperately demanding fighters that those who are purely for life or money can be approved to enter the army, no matter who they were loyal to before-this makes some who were defeated but forced The remaining Vikings hiding nearby responded to their call to work as a mercenary and joined the former enemy King Harold of England.

As they traveled day and night, the strength of Harold's army weakened.

Tofei and Leocliffe traveled through the jungle in the north. Many of the people who stopped and fell down collapsed and died. The rapid march made the army exhausted. "We are resting here." Odgar was different from the urging when he came here, this time instead he shouted at the militia and asked them to rest instead of rushing back.

Toffee, breathing with his mouth wide open, put his hands on his knees, worried about his newlywed wife Judith, he raised his head and looked at Audgar anxiously: "So I can't go back to the south in time."

"I order you to rest." Ordega also gasped and answered, sitting on the ground with a buttocks.

The rapid Mercedes-Benz made many soldiers unable to control themselves and vomited out, and some soldiers even spit out yellow-green bile.

In contrast, the situation of the several Viking fighters assigned to the team of Odgar was much better. He said to Odgar: "In fact, if you are willing to send a ship to Norway, I believe there are more Uighurs. The Beijingers are willing to join. "

"It's too late, and we also need to be able to have a restful winter." Odegar, who circulated the beet, replied friendly to the previous enemy-the Vikings who had no bottom line during the looting had a reputation after accepting employment. good.

"Your king?" The Vikings asked.

"I haven't heard from him in two days." Ordgar said muffledly.

Leocliff, who had serious dark circles, looked at him. "I hope he is running for more people." Odgar added.

"I hope?" The Vikings seized these two words, but Odgar was no longer willing to answer.

"Ordega, we have a good rest." Pale Toffe reminded panting hurriedly.

"We can't travel as we did when we came to the north. The road started to be rugged. We have to save our energy and stop bothering me." Odgar sitting on the ground opened his face impatiently.

"Crochster?" Tof insisted.

"That's just a small village with less than ten families, and England is a country." Although Odgar was heartbroken, for the sake of the overall situation, his answer seemed a bit ruthless.

"Please, at least let me go back." Tofei pleaded.

"If only a few people were allowed to find their family, we wouldn't be able to win this battle, and it would be difficult to allow it." Ordega bowed his head, and Tofe couldn't see his look clearly, so he turned around and turned to Leocliff asked for help, but found his buddy staring stunnedly into the distance-there seemed to be some thick smoke.

The militia stopped talking, and spread out to lower their body and slowly surrounded the thick smoke. The sunlight passed through the forest, and the mottled light hit the open space. They finally found that a white horse was tied to a tree. There was a leisurely stop beside the tree, and a group of tan horses were also tied behind the white horse with rope, while thick smoke rose from the ashes of a burnt wooden cart next to it.

But at this time, the Anglo-Saxon militias were focused on the horsebacks of these two horses, and the sound of mosquitoes and buzzing sounds, they surround the two horses, making the tails of the two horses sweep from time to time. Moving.

"What kind of stuff is this?" Leocliff asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Normans are doing good deeds." Ordgar answered the question of the new captain of the militia with a somber look.

On the white horse, a female body leaned over and lay on the white horse, surrounded by mosquitoes and flies, her scorched feet dropped from the horse, and her unburnt hair was put on the horse's back and left behind Skull-like face and blackened body.

The body of the other tan horse was even more pitiful. The charred body lay on his back on his back. The large mouth seemed to accuse the inhuman abuse he had encountered before, and told everyone his pain.

Odgar stepped forward and looked at the charred body immediately. He opened the covered clothing on the ground, and all of them were charred corpses below.

"This is a message for your king." Several Vikings looked at each other and said.

Odgar looked around all the militias present, and his tone was painful: "I want all the soldiers here to see the body of this village woman," his tone gradually became intense, "this is why we have to fight!"

"Come back to the village of Crochster, boy," Audja looked at the dumbfounded Tofi. "You go back to the south to see our village."

"No, there must be fraud. They sent these women's bodies here to provoke you to rush back to fight." Viking mercenaries familiar with the Normans, also derived from the Vikings, calmly Suggested.

The female corpse was dismantled from the white horse, and the rest of the militiamen had begun to place the bodies of these dead women, so that their bodies would no longer be exposed to the broad daylight and they would be safe in the soil.

Instead of ignoring the talking Vikings, Ordega looked at Tofi, who was at a loss, and ordered: "If you are not afraid of encountering the Norman reconnaissance team, go back to the south. Ride here Horse. "

"Leofric," Odegar continued to order. "Don't forget that you are the captain, go with him, be careful ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If you encounter a Norman, don't fight, just run!"

What does Leofrick want to say to Odgar? But Odgar interrupted him and shouted, "Go!"

Odgar turned around and walked two steps, then turned back to look at Leobrik and told him: "If you arrive in Crawhurst, if you find any surviving women, take them to the monastery, promise The Man must not dare to harass the courtyard of these hermits easily, find as many men as possible, and tell them that we will send a large army to come, but we need more men, go. "

"I don't know which way leads to Crawhurst." Leofrick reached out and asked Odgar who turned away.

"We'll find the way, we have to take the roads that have fish transporters, and the roads that rise and fall before you smell the sea salt," Odgar replied.

"The smell of ashes will help you find your village." A Viking added, but in exchange for the glare of the Anglo-Saxons, he shrugged and returned to his ranks.

Leocliff looked dignified, turned his head, mounted the white horse, and sat behind Toffee, who had already waited and had been on the horse.
