Chapter 165 4.25 Thunder From the Sky
12 days later, Hanshui Fort
Late at night, when Loki had covered his daughter with a blanket and had just fallen asleep on the bed, there was a loud knock on the bedroom door.
(Damn, who is this? There are only a few people in the village who can enter Hanshui Fort and knock on the door in the middle of the night. Could it be)
Loki opened the door sleepily and saw Jerome's pale face.
"My Lord, I saw the sign of the end of the world!"
"Fuck, I even killed the Old Ones, who can destroy my world?! My respected Bishop, have you been under too much 'work pressure' recently? I'll talk to Katya tomorrow. You can't force having children."
"I saw the sign of the end of the world. A violent giant bear will crawl out of the sea in the east. It will crawl onto the land of the Vikings and violently wipe out all of us!"
Gently rubbing his sleepy eyes, Loki patted Jerome's shoulder speechlessly. Sure enough, the Chosen One is not a saint. Even if he has cultivated to the level of Sequence 3 'Angel of Judgment', which is infinitely close to the level of demigod, "having children", a life problem that everyone will encounter, has almost driven him crazy.
"Brother, I understand your difficulties. If it were me, I would also be furious and hysterical every day if I drank eight bowls of that disgusting 'qi-replenishing magic medicine'. Don't worry, I will talk to Katya tomorrow. As the saying goes, there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is damaged by plowing."
Under severe sleepiness, Loki's eyes were about to close together. At this moment, he just wanted to end this meaningless conversation as soon as possible and dive back into his bed.
"My intuition has always been very accurate. I have seen many details. The Dragon Breath Plateau has been submerged in a sea of blood, and the rushing blood is flowing into the river valley. It will soon sweep across Hanshui Village! This is a disaster that all Vikings cannot escape! This is a difficult test set for us by the Holy Lord Christ!"
Shaking his head slightly, Loki sighed and silently accepted the fact that this conversation would not end in the short term.
"My brother, you are a chosen one of the 'Justice Path' after all. You are awesome at drawing a broadsword and slashing people. But you are not your mentor Euseubi when it comes to divination, can you?"
The same words, the same tone, Jerome vaguely remembered that the same attitude was taken by the Archbishop Francis of the Forest Justice Monastery towards his prophecy, and he was almost robbed of his underwear by Loki.
Jerome did not know what the final outcome of Archbishop Francis was. But the children in Hanshui Village had attended church schools for several months. He was the godfather of 12 of them, and the guide for many Viking monks to embark on this path.
He had fought side by side with all the survivors in the village, buried his dead compatriots, and raised the children they left behind.
Considering all aspects, he had accepted his identity as the "Archbishop of Hanshui Village".
A year ago, when Archbishop Francis refused to let him in, he obeyed silently. And now, when Loki was about to close the door to send him away, he pulled the door hard. The two people's loud conversation in the middle of the night woke up Sophie in the next room. When she walked into the corridor holding a silk doll and wearing a linen dress, there was a sudden noise at the gate of Hanshui Village. Opening the window, Ge Lin, the "Siren" of Blood Pigeon Town, was waiting for the city gate to open with a dozen cavalrymen.
Loki's sleepiness disappeared instantly. Since both of them made a fortune in the summer, Loki had not seen Blind Mountain and Ge Lin for half a year. The last time they suddenly appeared, they brought him the news that Fog Duck Town sent troops. And this time they chose to appear urgently in the middle of the night.
Obviously, something shocking is happening outside!

After carrying Sophie, who was sleeping in a daze, back to the room from the floor and covering her with a quilt. Loki and Jerome changed their clothes and walked into the government hall. Wearing a full set of silver armor, the heroic Ge Lin had already stood in the center of the room. In the dim candlelight, the warriors of Blood Pigeon Town behind her were surrounding this young soldier covered in blood. He was wearing a worn sheepskin coat that Viking herdsmen often wear, and his blue eyes were full of fear.
This expression was not common on Viking warriors.
"Brother Loki, this is a spy planted in the Dragon Breath Cave by my Blood Pigeon Town Intelligence Network. He brought the latest news, and I think you will be very interested in learning about it."
After a while, Ge Lin grabbed the soldier's collar like a chicken and threw him in front of Loki.
"My lord, it's bad! The Dragon Breath Cave has now turned into a scorched earth"
"The Slavic King 'White Bear' Bakambusi brought tens of thousands of troops and killed from the other side of the sea!"
Loki narrowed his eyes and pulled the deserter from the ground. If it was just a deserter who said these words to him, he would just beat him away with a stick.
It is well known that the Slavs can neither build ships nor sail. Everyone in their tribe is seasick, and the consequence of forcing them to board a ship is generally vomiting for ten days and a half months.
For hundreds of years, the narrow Baltic Sea was like a natural barrier for them. Although the number of people was dozens of times more than that of the Vikings, the Vikings had never suffered even a single invasion by the Slavs.
But the words of the man in front of him, combined with the prophecy just mentioned by Jerome, were a bit scary. Jerome accurately mentioned a giant bear that crawled out of the sea and bloodbathed the Dragon's Breath Plateau. This coincided with the words of the deserter.
"How long has it been since the city was captured, and you fled all the way to Blood Pigeon Town until now?"
The deserter counted carefully on his fingers, "1, 2, sir, about 10-12 days, I don't remember the exact date."
Loki looked at Green, and the two exchanged a knowing look. Although his elder brother Blind Mountain was not very smart, "Siren" Green was indeed a smart woman, and she immediately understood Loki's question.
The question was - "Why didn't Duke Bernard summon his vassals?"
When fighting hard in the Dragon Creek Cave, the storm monks stationed in the Dragon Breath Cave would have sent ravens to all the lords of other provinces for help. The river valley is close to the Dragon Breath Plateau, and Duke Bernard should have received the ravens released by the Dragon Breath Cave at least seven or eight days ago.
You know, the neighboring province is already a sea of blood at this time. Tens of thousands of Slavic cavalry are rampaging. If they are fast, I am afraid they will enter the river valley within a week.
But Duke Bernard pretended nothing had happened quietly. Not only did he not summon his vassals to arrange any defenses, he didn't even leak the news!
What was he trying to do?
