Chapter 200: chapter 200- He Who Seeks the Way Home

Everyone in the area could only stand still as the man fell to the ground covered in blood.

"..."

Marzuki slowly opened his eyes; what he saw was the man lying on the ground who seemed like he would soon meet his death because his heart was already quite badly injured.

'Shit... '

Said Marzuki when he saw what he "Unconsciously" did, Marzuki then looked at the crowd around him and sure enough, they were also looking at them with angry looks.

"ᚺᛖ ᚲᛁᛚᛚᛖᛞ ᛟᚾᛖ ᛟᚠ ᚢᛋ!! ᚲᚨᛈᛚᚢᚱᛖ ᚺᛁᛗ ᚨᚾᛞ ᛋᚲᛁᚾ ᚺᛁᛗ!!!" (HE KILLED ONE OF US!! CAPTURE HIM AND SKIN HIM!!!)

Shouted one of the crowd while raising his weapon, and like a switch, from that person, everyone there raised their weapons.

Seeing this, Marzuki then took the axe from the man lying on the ground lifeless and then said to all the members of his team without taking his eyes off the angry crowd.

"... Gather in a circle and prepare your weapons for the upcoming battle!"

Hearing Marzuki's words, the six members of the squad immediately moved closer to Marzuki to form a circle, but before that, they placed the two people who couldn't fight in the middle of them, because no matter what, they couldn't just leave them like that, and Marzuki didn't have a problem with this either.

Shortly after that, the crowd began their attack; in terms of bodies, Marzuki, and his troops were far inferior, let alone in terms of numbers; only seven people could fight, including Marzuki, while their opponents were who knows how many, so the result of this battle could already be seen.

'... Can I survive from here?'

Marzuki thought, but he immediately pushed the thought aside because no matter what, he had to get out of here safely for him to be able to return to his family.

Marzuki remembered the feeling he had earlier and wanted to maximize it because he felt that only that could make him survive from here.

With an axe and a dagger in each hand, Marzuki tightened all his body muscles and was ready for any form of attack that would come his way, as were the six members of his squad, who had also prepared their weapons, some of them even had pistols.

Even so, the Pistol only had a few bullets, and it couldn't cover the numbers of their opponents.

The battle took place; Marzuki, with a body that looked smaller than the people in the crowd, showed quite surprising resistance; the six members of his squad were the same because, after all, they were trained soldiers, but their stamina was not unlimited.

The first few minutes, the gunfire could be heard killing enemies with every shot, but after a few minutes of running, the sound of gunfire stopped and was replaced by the sound of metal hitting metal.

The weapons of the six squad members could not hold out for long against the axes of their enemies, and after just a few clashes their weapons were no longer usable.

Having lost their weapons, the only option was to use hand-to-hand combat, but no matter how experienced one was, if the opponent was physically and weight-wise superior, then the end was already decided, and so it was with the six members of Marzuki's squad.

As the battle went on, one by one, Marzuki's squad members fell, and only Marzuki was left; even the two people who couldn't fight had also fallen.

Marzuki stood amidst the corpses of his squad members and his opponents, with his body covered in wounds and blood, Marzuki was still able to stand straight and still grip his weapon tightly.

With the new powers he received and with an unyielding spirit to return to his family, Marzuki has taken the lives of more opponents than the six members of his squad have defeated combined.

Seeing this, the crowd began to hesitate a little to face Marzuki, which caused the battle to stop temporarily until someone among them shouted.

"ᚹᚺᚨᛏ ᚨᚱᛖ ᛇᚢ ᛞᛟᛇᛁᚾᚷ? ᚺᛖ ᛁᛊ ᚨᛚᚩᚾᛖ!! ᚺᛖ ᚺᚨᛊ ᚲᛁᛚᛚᛖᛞ ᛗᚨᚾᛖᛋ ᛟᚠ ᛟᚢᚱ ᛒᚱᛟᛏᚺᛖᚱᛋ!! ᚷᛟ ᚠᛟᚱᚹᚨᚱᛞ!!! ᚨᚡᛖᚾᚷᛖ ᚦᛖᛗ!!!" (WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE IS ALONE!!

HE HAS KILLED MANY OF OUR BROTHERS!! WE NORSEMANS/VIKINGS NEVER RETREAT FROM BATTLE; GO FORWARD!!! AVENGE THEM!!!)

With a shout from one of the Vikings, the others gathered their courage once more and raised their weapons again.

Marzuki, who saw this, could do nothing but raise his weapon and prepare to fight once again.

But this time, instead of advancing one by one like before, this time the Vikings, who considered Marzuki's presence as a threat, advanced together. Seeing this, Marzuki knew that the end was near, but at least, before he fell, he would bring a few more people to die with him.

With Linda and Taufik's faces in his mind, Marzuki showed a smiling face. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'... it seems I can't fulfill my promise, Linda... I'm sorry Fik, your father can't see you grow up... goodbye... '

Marzuki said in his mind, then tightened his grip on his weapon, and then looked directly at the Vikings running towards him.

And still, with a smile on his face, Marzuki shouted and ran towards them.

"...ᛋᛏᛟᛈ!!!" (STOP!!!)

However, before Marzuki's weapons and the weapons of the Vikings could meet, someone from the Vikings shouted; his voice contained authority and charisma that could not be ignored which made the Vikings immediately stop their attacks on Marzuki, as well as Marzuki, Even though he didn't understand what the person was shouting, he also stopped and then looked into the direction where the voice came from.

There, he saw someone sitting on a chair like a king with three women attached to him.

The person has long brown hair that he braids back and a long beard of the same color, the ends of which are also neatly braided. His sky-blue eyes added to the person's charisma.

The person was wearing a kind of chain armor covered by a white fur coat. He was sitting with Pipi propped on his hand and one hand Embracing one of the women.

The Vikings, annoyed that their battle had been stopped, started a commotion, wondering why they had been stopped.

However, the person only said one word; he said it not too loudly, but the impact was stronger than someone speaking using a loudspeaker.

"... ᛋᛁᛚᚲᛖᚾᚲᛖ!"(silence!)

Hearing what the man said, the commotion of the Viking crowd immediately stopped, leaving only silence.

After everyone calmed down, the person looked at Marzuki and then spoke in a language that made Marzuki quite surprised, because he spoke in a language he understood, namely English.

"... You, oh stranger~ Come forward"

Even though the English the person used was a little different from the English that Marzuki knew, he could still understand what he was saying.

The Vikings who had been crowding around Marzuki opened the way for him, M arzuki then stepped forward to approach the person.

Seeing Marzuki coming forward, the person nodded his head.

"... Seeing you come forward means you understand what I said, is that right?"

"... Yes"

Marzuki answered briefly.

"... What's your name?"

"It's Marzuki Hidayat"

"Marzuki?...

Hearing the name Marzuki, the person showed a faint smile.

... Quite an interesting name, tell me where are you come from?"

"I'm sorry, but who are you and where is this?"

Instead of answering the person's question, Marzuki asked the person a question. Marzuki's behavior earned him some ridicule from the Vikings around him, but the Viking who was sitting there still showed a calm face, as if he was not at all bothered by what Marzuki did.

"... You don't know me? So that means you are not from this land?"

Asked by this question, Marzuki just nodded his head.

"It's so...then let me introduce myself to you... I'm Ragnar Lothbrok... Marzuki... Seeing what you did made me interested... I can forget everything you've done to my people if you'll join me and be a part of us, what do you think? Isn't that an attractive offer?"

"..."

Hearing the offer, Marzuki was silent for a moment, he looked at his fallen squad members and thought about his small family, if he refused Ragnar's offer, then one thing he would definitely find was death, but if he accepted Ragnar's offer and joined the Vikings he would have time to find a way home, but if so, he would be disrespecting his squad members who had fallen at the hands of the Vikings.

"Ragnar, I don't agree with your decision, how can you recruit foreigners of unknown origin who have also killed our brothers?"

Suddenly, a Viking who looked quite old exclaimed, but facing that person, Ragnar still showed his calm face and looked at that person.

"... And since when do I need your permission to do something?... About his origin, are you blind or maybe deaf? Don't you see me looking into it now?"

Ragnar said something that immediately made the person fall silent. Seeing this, Ragnar looked back at Marzuki.

"And you, Marzuki, what are your Answers? I didn't have forever for you; my situation right now didn't allow something like that. So Answer me before I change my mind"

Hearing this, Marzuki thought back to his squad members and his family, however, it seemed that his love for his family was greater than his guilt for betraying his squad members, so Marzuki nodded his head.

"... I'll join you... But before that-"

"No, Your Answers are enough for me, you can rest for now, you can ask questions later after you wake up... Rest assured, nothing will happen to you when you rest, I guarantee it"

Said Ragnar, cutting off what Marzuki wanted to say.

Hearing that, for some reason Marzuki felt that he could trust what Ragnar said, so he said.

"... It's so? Then I will believe... in... you..."

*Thud*

By saying that, Marzuki immediately fell unconscious due to losing a lot of blood.

Seeing this, Ragnar became even more interested in Marzuki, which made him smile a little.

'... In this era of chaos, someone like him is really needed, truly someone very interesting...'

Ragnar said in his mind then ordered someone to take Marzuki to rest in one of the tents there.

And that is how the story of a Warrior who has the nickname "He Who Seeks the Way Home" begins.
