Section 216 Reef

Just when the young servants were experiencing the first real fight in their lives, Arod was staring at the Viking warships chasing them tightly at the stern of the ship. The Viking warships eagerly followed each of their leaders who wanted to win the honor of capturing Arod. These narrow and long Viking warships had traces of being shot by a crossbow, which was left in the battle with the Mecklenburg armed warships.

"What are the instructions of Lord Earl?" The captain of the Unicorn came to Arude and asked Arude.

"What can the captain do you have to crowd the Viking warships together?" Aruod asked the captain.

"Crowd together?" The captain of the Unicorn looked at Arud in confusion, but he still thought about it carefully. As a experienced captain who had been traveling along the Baltic Sea for many years, he immediately came up with an idea, but this idea was really an adventure.

"Did you think of it?" Aruod saw the captain frowning suddenly and suddenly he wanted to speak but stopped, so he asked curiously.

"Yes, there is a basin with reefs to the east. To be honest, even a captain like me will try to avoid sailing there. The reefs in that area can only be navigated by a narrow channel, so it is very dangerous." The captain of the Unicorn said to Aruod with concern.

"It's there, I believe you and your sailors." Aruod had no choice but to take a gamble. If he could not destroy these Viking warships in an instant, his territory would be severely damaged. Sometimes the most dangerous choice for the Jedi counterattack was the most correct.

"Master Earl, you have to think about it. Once we hit the reef and sank, there will be no allies in that area of ​​water. I suggest that when the Viking warriors cannot pursue them with all their might, they will flee back to the harbor and redesign them." The captain of the Unicorn suggested.

"No need, go there." Arod ordered the captain. Seeing Arod made up his mind, the captain couldn't help but praise Arod's courage. Now their fate can only be handed over to God. The Unicorn sailed to the east under the control of the captain and sailors. Of course, the Viking Warriors would not give up chasing Arod. The Unicorn was like leading this group of Viking warships from Denmark to the east.

"Quick. Rowing hard, we will catch up." Danish King Knuba loudly ordered the Viking warriors who were paddling on his warship, but because their sails were not as flexible as armed merchant ships, they could not borrow the power of wind. Even if the Viking warriors rowed desperately, they could not catch up with Arud's ship very smoothly. Both sides were always close and were about to catch up but were escaped by the Unicorn. This situation was like a beauty who took off all her clothes teased the strong man through an iron gate, burning the strong man's desire but had nowhere to vent. She could only drool and watch through the iron gate.

This strange fleet gradually entered the waters outside Rostock County. There was indeed a group of reefs here, as the captain of the Unicorn said, but inexperienced people could not find the reefs hidden under the sea. It was summer that the sea water was abundant, and the melting snow from the Arctic poured into the Baltic Sea, which raised the sea level a lot, but the reef could still crash into the uninvited ships that rashly broke into.

"To the left." The captain lay on the side of the ship and looked down at the sea. His eyes seemed to be able to peek at the reef below through the sea. While he looked carefully, he issued an order to the sailor in the helm.

"Crack, Crack." At this time, the rudder was still catching the wooden pole at the stern of the ship by an experienced sailor, moving back and forth like controlling the fish tail, causing the rudder sheet under the ship to swing and change the navigation direction of the armed merchant ship. The draft of the armed merchant ship is deeper than that of the Viking warship, so you should be extra careful when passing through. If you are not careful, the ship will capsize and die.

"Put the sails and row manly." The captain ordered again that the Unicorn could not only sail with wind through sails, but also in the cabins could also be driven by human paddles. It can be said that although the Unicorn was a merchant ship, it was considered a relatively advanced ship in the same period of Europa. However, if the human paddle was used, the speed would definitely slow down gradually. The Viking warship chasing behind quickly caught up.

"Your Majesty, those Mecklenburgers have slowed down and we are about to win." The vassal of the King of Denmark couldn't help laughing happily when he saw the moving Unicorn, but the King of Denmark Knuba stretched out his left hand and ordered his ship to stop paddling.

"Wait a minute, something is wrong." The Danish king felt a little scared. He raised his head and looked at the sky above his head. Only faint light came from the gloomy clouds. The cold wind from the north blew the sea, and an ominous intuition rushed into his heart, but he couldn't tell whether something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, we should speed up." The vassal of the Denmark looked anxiously at the Viking warships sailing past his side. He didn't understand why the Denmark stopped, so he asked loudly.

"Have anyone sailed in this area of ​​water?" The King of Denmark ignored his vassals, but instead asked the forty Viking warriors on the Viking warships that the Vikings were a nation proficient in adventure and sailing. They could sail east and venture to the Byzantine Empire, west and south to the Sinai Peninsula and the Mediterranean waters, so they were actually not unfamiliar with the ocean.

"Your Majesty, I've been here." At this time, a Viking warrior with gray hair and a beard with a chin braided in small braids raised his hand. He was a Viking warrior responsible for paddling, but this did not mean that his status was low. As a free citizen, it was just a different division of labor.

"Tell me, what's the secret here?" the Danish king asked hurriedly.

"Well, please let me see first." The Viking stood up, lay on the side of the boat, stretched out his hand and dipped the water in the sea in his mouth, then spit out the water again, looked around, and then said to the King of Denmark, "Your Majesty, this should be in the water between Rostock County and your territory, Scola County."

"I know, am I asking if there is anything special here?" the King of Denmark continued.

"Well, I think about it, well, if I remember correctly, there is a reef here, so we have to be very careful to drive, but this reef does not pose a threat to us. Our ships have shallow water, so as long as we pay attention not to encounter high reefs, there will be no problem." The Viking warrior who had sailed here reported to the King of Denmark.

"So that's it, the despicable and cunning Mecklenburg people, hum, please drive carefully and continue to move forward." The Danish King suddenly realized that the cunning Mecklenburg people were planning to lead them here, so that they might be hit by the reef. It was a despicable trick. The Danish King became more and more interested in seeing what the skull of the cunning Mecklenburg count looked like, and whether there was a strange magic inside.

The Vikings received the horn command of the Danish King to travel carefully, so they slowed down their paddles. The two sides were sailing in this unfamiliar reefs. In addition to the sound of wood pulp, there was the sound of waves and seabirds singing, as if the war was not in progress. At this time, the Vikings did not know that they had fallen into a catastrophe. The Vikings, who were gradually gathering together in order to avoid the reefs, had only two to three meters of gap between each other, but they did not realize what changes this distance would bring to them. They only had the black lion flag hanging in their eyes.

"Everything is ready." Sweat on Arod's forehead slipped, but a smile appeared on his face. These stupid Viking warriors had already entered the trap. They were led by Arod and entered this sea of ​​death by his nose.
