Chapter 259 Piety The
more than 3,000 Cosas have dealt a great blow to the order of Zoshenk, and the Ugor riders, whose numbers are almost the same as the Cosas, have made the situation even worse.
The big boy had to move his people to villages further west in advance.
Mirkavala is just to the northwest. Rivet chose a settlement that was relatively close to the Fire Keepers. Almost all the boyars on the front line tacitly migrated their population here slowly.
There were some optimistic lords who were unwilling to work too hard, but other boyars could not convince them after persuading them, so they could only let them leave their people on the front line.
The elderly were recruited to provide logistics for the army, while women and men who could not go to the battlefield carried packages, backpacks, and led horses to Mirkavala.
Eleven long dragons appeared in the north of the Western State, and the Winged Hussars were busy moving between the migrants to maintain the minimum order.
Ivan of Dongcun is a subject of Igorboye. There are countless Ivans in Kislev, and there are more than a dozen Ivans in Dongcun alone. He is just an inconspicuous old man among them.
But it is rare for civilians to live to the age of fifty.
Ivan had followed old Boyer to fight against the barbarians in the north. During the Great Holy War, he stood on the tall walls of Kislev and faced the Chaos army. He had seen dwarves, elves, and the emperor of the empire.
For Ivan, there is no regret in this life.
Little Igor Boye was as brave as old Boye. He summoned all the atamans in Igor's territory and all the veterans who had fought in the battlefield in the territory, and prepared to lead the village chiefs and soldiers to the northern ice field to find the source of the crisis.
That’s right, the northern ice fields, the troll kingdom further north, a dangerous place where monsters and chaos tribes are entrenched.
Igor Boya may be mad, or it may be a revelation from the great Ersun.
Based on the frequent intelligence from Ugor's scouts, Boye came up with a terrible guess.
The Norse invaders of Kislev did not come for plunder but to escape.
There are more terrifying creatures appearing in the ice field. They must find out what happened on the Norse Peninsula in order to alert His Majesty the Tsar and the boyars in the south.
North of Kislev, on the southern edge of the Norse Mountains.
The Hell Pit is like a living devil, sitting on the edge of civilization.
The Corrupted Clan received bad news.
Some ratmen have spotted a Lizardman in Albion, and it looks like it's trying to cross the Norse Peninsula.
This was not news worthy of attention, after all, it was just a lizard man.
But the mutant pioneers of the clan have just returned from the vast ocean, and the horrific battlefield is still imprinted in the minds of the rat people.
"We can't let him come to the Hell Pit. Send out the slaves, slaves! Lure the greenskins here and let them fight! Fight!"
"He'll ruin my experiment!"
"Go find Master Slott the Unclean One!"
"Buy off the Norse champion and make that lizard thing die! Die!"
"Call all the chiefs! Kill that so-called Saltwater Queen! Show her what a piece of shit she is!"
In the Vanaheim Mountains, in the city of Skjold, the king's roar awakened the entire Bjölln.
No one dared to remind the furious king that the Saltwater Queen was his daughter and that disobeying the king would not end well.
Although Björring is too far south, as a large Norse settlement, Björring can still produce some powerful warriors.
King Eric Drondar is the chosen one of the divine dogs and he is Björn's most powerful warrior.
The king lacked an heir, which made the chiefs unstable and eager to fight for power. Under Eric's suppression, many chiefs went to other coasts to establish colonies, causing Bjorlin to lose a large number of warriors.
But this does not mean that Bjorlin is someone who can be bullied, even if there are only eleven chiefs left.
Each chieftain has his own personal guards who returned from the north. They are all powerful Chaos warriors.
The king himself has nearly a hundred such guards, and Bjölling can muster more than five hundred Chaos Warriors in total.
But that’s all.
The blessing of Chaos always leads to mutation, and the Norscans who have lived in Björling certainly know the prejudices of the tribe.
The fact that more than 500 Chaos Warriors are willing to return to the tribe is enough to demonstrate the favor of the gods.
The Chaos Warriors' demonic armor blocked their transformation, which is why the Bjöllings were willing to accept their former compatriots.
Most Chaos Warriors who have been upgraded choose to leave, as the distortions endured by the Chosen Ones are stronger than those endured by the Chaos Warriors.
It was the uncontrollable ascension that caused Eric to lose the ability to produce offspring, and Saltwater Grudge was his only child.
Although he did not show any obvious mutation, he was no longer human inside. After putting on the demon armor and gaining the qualifications to take it off, Eric was no longer a mortal.
Maybe he should go kill some monsters, but that's not in line with human aesthetics.
Eric had no complaints. He only hated himself for not being able to reach the end of the path to ascension. If he could exist forever, there would be no need for his offspring to exist.
As mists shroud the rugged coast of Björling, the Swordfish and its followers gather, with their powerful allies close behind.
Perhaps other countries in the world are in twilight, but for the Norse Peninsula, there is only weak sunlight at noon, and the afternoon begins to turn into night.
Only the southernmost tip of Norsca can experience the warmth of the sun; the daytime on the Norse Peninsula is always frozen in dusk.
The Norse longships were alarmed by the pirates, and the longships returning from overseas and those that had just left the port headed towards the fleet of the Saltwater Grudge.
The advanced artillery that Yanyuan bought from the Empire at a high price roared in unison, splashing water all over the sea. The bombardment, louder than the roar of the warriors, cooled the boiling blood of the Norsemen.
The pirates had poor aim, and the presence of mist on the sea accentuated this shortcoming. Although the explosion was deafening, less than ten longships were affected.
The Norsemen suffered little loss, but the incessant bombardment dealt a severe blow to the morale of the mortals.
Lynch drove the Pyramid, stood outside the engine, and felt the cold wind.
He heard the panicked prayers of the Norscans. Some were calling on the Blood God, some were praying to other identities of the Blood God, and some of the Norscans were even praying to Ulric and Daha.
The fog could not block Lynch's vision, so he soon saw the scene that made him angry.
Perhaps it was a longship returning from Skogey, and the symbol of the "water god" Zongqi, shaped like a bust of some fish or frog creature, was placed on the bow by the ignorant hot-blooded people and worshiped devoutly.
On the left side of the symbol of the Old Ones, the shrine of Khorne is prominently displayed. On the right side of the symbol of the Old Ones, the statue of Manawe is further to the right. The unknown demon prince is also worshipped like the gods.
In just a blink of an eye, Lynch saw the Matheran emblem on another ship, which was also placed next to the demon statue.
Lin Qidan knew that the Norse Pantheon embraced everything, but he didn't expect that this group of hot-blooded people would dare to pray for blessings like this.
