The small fortress was built in a month and its speed was similar to what Arod expected. Looking at these three small forts, which seemed to be tube-like buildings, they showed a triangular shape to guard the three directions of the port. If an enemy attacked, the people in the port could temporarily hide among the three small forts. The small doors in the small fort were made of solid oak and dense nails with iron bars. It would take a long time to break through this small door. This is the crystallization of the people of the stonemason union. As Europa, which has few resources and lacks manpower, how to apply limited resources to the right place is what architects need to consider. Therefore, the medieval buildings of Europa will particularly reduce the size of the entrance for the door that is most easily broken through, so when the enemy breaks through, the guards inside can also be blocked in time.

"Three strong barriers, my Count." Monk Elvit stood in front of the small bunker built with bricks. He looked at the walls made of squares, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and stroked them. He was not as cold as the walls built with stones, and even had a slight heat.

"Very good. Food and supplies are placed in the basement and the first floor. The second and third floors can be guarded by crossbowmen. There should be small windows on all sides of them." Aruod also stared at these three small bunkers. In order to defend against these small bunkers, he also specially commissioned local chamber of commerce merchants to buy a batch of crossbows. After all, it is really difficult to make crossbows when there is insufficient manpower. Although buying a good crossbow will cost a lot of money, it is very cost-effective for the crisis that is about to be faced. After all, crossbows do not require special training. Civilians can also use it.

"Do you want to go in? Adults." The stonemason union architect in charge of the construction asked after bowing to monk Arod and Elvit.

"Of course, let's go in and take a look." Aruod opened the door with great enthusiasm, bent down and walked into one of the small bunkers. He saw that the interior was made of wooden boards and wooden staircases. The architects of the stonemason union were very good at building matters. There were several cross-shaped shooting holes on the walls on the second and third floors, and the guards could extend crossbows or bows and arrows from here to shoot.

"There are five soldiers on the top," the architect introduced.

"Yes, it's such an invincible little bunker. How long can the reserves inside be surrounded?" Aruod asked.

"The food that can be stored inside is enough for twenty soldiers to last for two weeks. If the basement is filled, it can last longer." The architect of the stonemason union explained to Arod.

"Are twenty soldiers? Two weeks are enough for me to mobilize the army." Arod thought about three small bunkers, which could hide a total of sixty soldiers. With the strong walls and strong bows and crossbows, the Vikings will surely usher in their first failure.

"Sir Count, your weapons are coming." At this time, the knights of Ron's inner palace walked in from outside and reported to Arod.

"What weapon is it?" Monk Elvit asked curiously, and saw several servants carrying several wooden boxes. The wooden boxes seemed to be some parts of wood and iron. Aruod asked someone to carry these things to the roof. At this time, Monk Elvit, who was following behind, discovered that after the parts in the wooden box were taken out, they could be assembled into a large crossbow, and the empty wooden boxes were assembled as the base of the large crossbow.

"Stone crossbows, weapons that fire stones, install them on the top of the small bunker, and attack nearby enemies at a distance." Aroud briefly introduced.

At the top are medium weapons, in the middle are soldiers holding crossbows, and in the first floor are hand-to-hand combat soldiers using swords and spears. It can be said that this is a bunker armed to the teeth. The opponents it defends are holding the final sacrificial activities by the sea. Claze led the sixty Viking warriors given to him by the King of Denmark. Standing in front of their three warships, the three slaves were holding a large pot of water, standing in front of these soldiers about to go out to fight, and let them clean their eyes and hair. The washed soldiers spit their body fluids, noses and saliva into the pot, begging the gods to bless them with a smooth sailing.

"The Hermit Divination said that although you will encounter some setbacks, you will surely win, which is a good sign." The King of Denmark said to Claze, wearing his own gold-headed ring, a fur coat, and a silver pendant around his neck.

The Vikings believe in many gods, including men and women, and different gods take care of different aspects of daily life. They appear everywhere from time to time, so that appropriate things happen at the right time and at the right place. Therefore, according to old sayings, gods all live in a place called Asgard, which is equivalent to heaven. There is naturally hell in the underground world, called Nevheim. The pirates firmly believe that if a man dies gloriously, his soul can enter the temple of Asgard in the heavenly kingdom of heaven, Valhalla, and the heroic spirits of the warriors are

There are banquets, songs, and legends. If the one who is born as a warrior and dies in bed, then he is only worthy of entering the underworld. From this point of view, the Vikings believe that death is just a trip to another world. They pile up a lot of burial objects in the tombs of the deceased for flowers on the road. There are food and clothing, various tools, and various weapons. What's more, if the dead are kings or great heroes, they will bury the warships of the deceased before their lives, which is the famous "pirate funeral".

The Vikings believed that some people could predict the future, and they called these prophets soothsayers, who lived in remote countryside and were offered by worshippers from all directions.

"Blessing of the gods." Kraze held up the battle axe in his hand and responded loudly to the Danish king. The other Viking warriors made the same sound. Then they placed the round shield in their hands on the side of the ship, and jumped into the cabin over the side of the ship. Wood pulp stretched out from the inside and hit the sea. Three Viking ships slowly sailed out of the port and headed towards the depths of the sea. After a few nautical miles away from the port, they put down the canvas on the ship, and under the turmoil of the wind, the narrow Viking warships on the ship were quickly sailed towards the destination.

Viking ships are an important part of Viking culture. It can be said that everything about Vikings is closely related to their ships. The materials made by Viking ships are mainly taken from tall and straight oaks. Viking ships are divided into two categories: warships and cargo ships. Warships are lighter, narrow, flexible and light, and are very resistant to wind and waves; while the hull of cargo ships is tall and wide, and the hull is also very heavy, and can remain stable when sailing in the rough sea. Both types of ships have what is commonly called curved bows and are carved with a whole piece of complete oak.
