"Did you see it wrong?"
"How could Holy Egypt possibly have a navy?"
Olaf now looked towards the four-section sailing ships that were gradually approaching in the distance.
They knew early on that Holy Egypt had no navy.
This was discovered by their gray-haired black magician when she was still the Grand Magician of the Full Moon and sent her "clone spy" to Holy Egypt.
Not to mention, many of Holy Egypt's important cities are located inland, and many of their cities near the Mediterranean have only recently returned.
So, in the eyes of the Vikings, it was simply a fantasy that Holy Egypt had a navy.
"How could those black monkeys who live in the desert possibly have a navy? Are you seeing things?"
However, more and more Vikings frowned at this moment.
They looked at first, and then their eyes became more and more strange.
Something is wrong!
"Olaf! Look!"
"The enemy's ships are all flying the flags of the Desert and the Nile!"
"Could that really be the Holy Egyptian navy?!"
The Vikings were surprised at first, but a few of them soon started laughing arrogantly.
"Holy Egypt can't have a navy!"
"However, Holy Egypt is wealthy and powerful, so it is very likely that they could purchase several large ships from other civilizations!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many Vikings changed immediately.
The Viking warrior, who was a little surprised and even a little scared, just raised the battle axe in his hand higher.
"Ha! That's right! The ocean is our battlefield!"
"Now let those guys see how powerful we are!"
"We are going to rush onto their ships and seize all of their vessels!"
"Go into the wind! Rowers, push harder!"
At this moment, all the Viking warriors were ready for battle. They stood on the side of the ship, one foot on the edge of the ship, and looked very impatient.
But as they got closer to the ships, they became increasingly aware that something was wrong.
Because, those standing on those [quadron sailing ships] were obviously soldiers of Holy Egypt.
In other words, this is not a cargo ship at all, but a real army at sea!
"Their ships are full of Holy Egyptian soldiers!"
"This is not a merchant ship!"
"Speed up! These inferior peoples don't deserve such ships!"
"Grab them all!"
But at this moment, they saw the [Four-Section Sailing Ship] adjusting the direction of the ship.
They did not turn their bows toward the Viking longships, as if they were trying to flee out of fear.
But the distance between the ships of both sides was only a hundred meters at this moment.
"Haha! Those cowards of Holy Egypt are trying to escape!"
"Quick! Catch up!"
"Without the great magician Nantong, they can no longer be our opponent!"
"Brothers! Viking warriors!"
"The time for revenge has come! Let's chop off those guys' heads and offer them as a sacrifice to our king!"
"Huh! Ha!"
The Vikings shouted in unison, while Olaf just stared at the Holy Egyptian Quadrilles.
He just felt a little strange.
After all, if they wanted to escape, the other party should have discovered them long ago and chosen to avoid fighting.
How could we start to flee only after the enemy ships are getting closer?
What's more, after what happened today, Olaf could at least feel that the Holy Egyptians were always one step ahead of them.
If we add to that the words just spoken by the great white-haired wizard, and the prophetic image that King Harald of the North had revealed...
not good!
"No! Captains of all longships! Turn around immediately!"
"Full left! We must leave the waters of Holy Egypt immediately!"
The Viking warrior who was holding the battle axe just now just looked at Olaf in confusion after hearing this.
"Olaf? Why would you order us to flee without a fight?!"
"Now is the perfect time to avenge King Harald of the North!"
Several Viking warriors expressed their confusion, while others who were originally happy about Olaf becoming the new king began to take the opportunity to fan the flames.
"It seems Olaf was frightened by the previous battle with Holy Egypt!"
"In my opinion, he is not worthy of being our new king!"
"The sea is our territory, our battlefield!"
"Even in the worst storms, we Viking warriors can steer our longships and defeat the most dangerous enemies!"
"Now, our enemies are just desert people from the land. They probably don't even know how to sail. Now they see us and they're trying to escape."
"Faced with such a weak enemy, you actually order us to flee? Turn the rudder and leave!"
“That’s ridiculous!”
That’s right, the sea and the rivers were both battlefields for the Vikings.
It can be said that they have almost never been defeated at sea.
They plundered ships, plundering all ships that passed by, and even Persian ships were sometimes plundered by them.
So, as soon as the Viking spoke, the looks of many warriors looking at Olaf changed.
In their view, this is a cowardly act and even an incomprehensible act.
Harald, the King of the North, respected Olaf very much during his lifetime. Now, facing this opportunity to avenge his shame, any Viking is willing to risk everything for it!
But Olaf actually ordered them to withdraw!
"Retreat immediately!"
"Harald gave us a great opportunity with his life!"
"Holy Egypt..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by those Viking warriors who had originally opposed Olaf.
"Look! Look!"
"Our Olaf has chickened out, ha!"
"Warriors! Make your own choice!"
"Will you follow Olaf in his cowardly flight, or will you follow me and avenge Harald's death?"
"If you are willing to follow me, please drive your longboat and follow me!"
"I will lead the way and be the first to rush onto those Holy Egyptian ships and let them taste my axe!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately won the response of many Viking warriors.
And at this moment, most of the Viking longships chose to follow the Viking warrior instead of Olaf.
In just two minutes, the longboats on both sides had sailed in different directions.
"Olaf! What now?"
"Most of the soldiers followed him away!"
"You'll lose the support of most Viking warriors at this rate!"
"Would you like to turn back? Is there still time?"
Olaf just closed his eyes tightly at this time, and then slowly opened them.
"No."
"What I have to do is protect the Viking people."
"Leave."
"They've made their choice."
