Ember Gun

   Chapter 521

  The sky is cold and icy blue, and there is no cloud in all. The naked eye can always see the end of this icy blue, it is with a little green glow, they are all over the sky, and they are downside down on this cold country.

The crew on the Chenhui Advance were all put on warm and thick clothes. They never expected that after entering the waters of the Viking countries, the temperature dropped so quickly, and a layer of condensation formed on the guardrail on the edge of the deck. Shallow frost, they are like wild growing vines, wrapped around metal, freezing it.

  The dull sound of impact continued, and there were a lot of floating ice floating in the sea. They were knocked away by the Chenhui Advance, opening up a brand-new road.

   "Finally... arrived."

  Loren Zoha let out a sigh of relief in the command room, and looked at the blurry shadows in the distance with tears in his eyes.

After drifting at sea for more than a month, he finally saw the land, right ahead, with the vision of the demon hunter, Lorenzo could even see the rising smoke and those rising from the ground. The buildings.

  "How does it feel to return to human society?"

  Shrike’s mood rose slightly at this moment, and his face was full of excitement.

  "Excellent! Speed ​​up! Tell Nottal to speed up! Be quicker!"

  Lorenzo shouted excitedly.

  Now the mood is more than joy. Lorenzo can see those floating ships. Everything proves the existence of humans. After all, humans are still social animals, and it doesn’t feel good to be away from the crowd.

Notar, who was standing in front of the steering wheel, ignored the nervous Lorenzo. At first he felt a little afraid of Lorenzo, but after a long time together, this fear was diluted by Lorenzo's nervousness. Tal was finally able to treat Lorenzo with a relatively equal attitude.

  "According to the chart, there should be our primary destination this time."

  Seleu stood beside Lorenzo. She looked at the chart on the table, and her finger moved along the route described, staying on the first red dot.

   "The capital of the Viking countries, Weilunert, we will stop here for a while, take a good rest, and then go to Lingbing Bay to discuss with the lord."

   Lan Jade said, she is like a caring housekeeper, taking care of everything.

   "Wilente... I am quite curious about what cities in the Viking countries will look like."

  Lorenzo looked into the distance and said slowly.

   "Compared with the old Dunling, Villenult appears to be much behind. The city's lighting is still kerosene, which is much worse than Maruri in Gallunaro. At least Maruri has gas pipelines."

   Lan Jade explained in due course.

  "In addition, the civil war has only ended soon, and the Viking nations are in a state of being a waste of time...but they have not had time to develop too much, and the war is coming again."

  "This can be regarded as a battle for their rise. As long as they successfully plunder the land, the Viking nations will be able to complete their colonization abroad and send too many people out."

  Notar has been floating in the sea for a long time, and he has some understanding of these things.

"Compared to war, there are actually many Vikings who die every year because of the cold and hunger. It is a cold and barren land. Sometimes the fight is to consume the internal population so that more people have food and firewood. Stay alive here."

  Others looked at Notar, he felt their gazes, and looked back at everyone with a little surprise.

   "Tell me a little bit." Lorenzo motioned for him to continue.

"Oh oh."

  Nottal paused, so many eyes made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

  He could feel that this was not a curious look. As such a serious action, they must have learned about the relevant information of the Viking countries in advance. Notar guessed that some of his own words might have caused his association.

"This is what I learned when I was dealing with some Vikings. People outside think they are just a group of militant lunatics, but in fact most of them are forced to fight. The frozen land cannot grow food and graze. There are not many weeds that can withstand the growth of the cold wind. In order to keep more people alive, the men will go to sea to looting, they gradually become lords, and then attack each other."

  Nottal felt a sorrow as he spoke.

   "The Viking countries only have a few months of warmth each year, and the remaining days are full of cold winds. I think you should have realized this."

  Shallow thin ice has appeared in the porthole, it is hard to imagine what it will be like after going deep into the end of the world.

"We have heard such things," Lorenzo said, which reminded him of a friend. "He told us the reason for the war, probably the same as you said. The internal war cannot change the problem. They finally chose to fight the outside world. , Plunder the warm land."

   "We might meet him in Willenert again."

  Shrike added that he remembered who the friend Lorenzo said was. Although the time was short, he still remembered the Viking.

   "The main and most interesting thing is the explanation of faith."

  Lorenzo thought, recalling the words that Hybold said to him afterwards.

  The journey back to Inervig was a bit boring. Haibod talked about the dead Ivar and also about Ivar’s understanding of Odin’s beliefs.

   Lie, God Odin is a lie.

"Because of this harsh environment, people are forced to plunder and combat, speed up the consumption of personnel, in order to save more materials to keep young people alive... Death is a cruel thing, no one wants to die, unless someone It can beautify death. After death, it is not darkness, but a beautiful light."

  The command room became quiet, and everyone listened to Lorenzo's words.

"Hybod told me that Ivar thought this way. He thought that Odin was just a lie for the Vikings to deceive themselves. The same is true of the Hall of Valor. He drank a hangover and then fought, before the morning sun rises. Resume again and step into a scarlet cycle."

  Lorenzo looked at the others and asked questions.

   "Do you think it's really nice to go to such a ghost place after death?"

  Not waiting for other people's answers, Lorenzo gave his own explanation.

   "I can't stand it. I have been fighting for a lifetime. I don't try to have anything after death. In the end, I will continue to chop endlessly. It is **** no matter how I think, probably only a neurotic would yearn for this kind of place."

  The eyes of the others were a little weird, and they all looked at Lorenzo at the same time. Lorenzo also noticed this, and they looked at each other and fell into a more embarrassing silence.

"you……"

   "Nothing! Nothing!" Shrike said repeatedly, blocking Lorenzo's mouth.

  Lorenzo looked at the shrike suspiciously, almost wanting to say something, seeming to want to criticize your stereotypes, but after thinking about it, forget it.

   "I was thinking, believing in this thing, perhaps it does have a reason for its existence."

  Lorenzo's expression is serious, he is not joking.

"I was thinking before that the gospel church is so ignorant, but it does help us through the most difficult moments... Maybe it has a meaning, but it just failed to make due changes with the changes of the times. , Just like the faith of Odin, beautify death so that more Vikings can live, but this is not the age of blood and sword."

  The shadow in front of the sea is getting bigger and bigger. It is endless, spreading over the entire sea horizon, one after another with spikes protruding, and the tall buildings are like swords and halberds studded on monsters, and Weilunert is about to arrive.

   "The times have changed, everyone should make changes, otherwise all that is waiting is to be eliminated."

  ……

  "Is this the strength of Inverwege?"

  The man stood on the high platform and looked at the end of the sea. The figure of Chenhui Advance had already penetrated into the field of vision. Although it was far away, it could still be distinguished.

  His face is already a bit old, his cold eyes are full of exhaustion, and the interlaced scars are all over his skin, like a beast that has gone through a **** battle together.

"My previous thoughts were still too naive," the man shook his head helplessly as he witnessed the big ship breaking through the sea fog. "

  "I think our Vikings’ sea warfare experience can make up for the technical gap. Our long ship will quickly approach their iron-clad ship, throw out the hook, rush to the deck, and kill the enemy.

  But now it seems too ridiculous, Haibod, these iron-clad ships don’t need to fire at us. They can run over our long ship as long as they run over it all the way. "

Compared with the iron-clad ships, the Viking longboats look like ants, suppressed by an absolute technological gap. In the years of technical support from Inervig, there are also a large number of iron-clad ships in the Vikings. Compared with the Huijinjin, it was really lagging behind and did not have the ability to fight a battle at all.

  This is not a gap that can be filled with technical support. From the basic industry, the Viking countries have already started too late. The new era has already arrived, but they do not know it.

"Don't worry too much, Your Majesty, we have made changes in time. Lengbing Bay has begun to produce iron-clad ships, and the mutual assistance between the various territories is also proceeding in an orderly manner. These are obviously much worse than those of Inervig. , But at least it proves that we did take that step instead of staying stuck in this bitter cold land and attacking each other."

  Hybald also watched the big ship on the sea. If nothing else, several guys he knew were also on the ship.

  "But how long will this situation last? We and Inervig are not one, but a temporary union. When the problem of Galunalo is solved, we may become a new problem."

  The King of Ice Sea is distressed. This is a union between countries, not two people making friends. He knows that this is a mutual use, but he has no ability to refuse.

  This is the last opportunity for the Viking nations. Without relying on Inervig, the gap between them and the world will only be drawn further and further.

   "But as long as Jihai is stable, we will have the ability to negotiate with Inervig."

  Hibald said.

Looking at the sea of ​​silence as the center of the map, you will find that it is mostly wrapped by the islands of the Viking countries. The only place without islands is also intercepted by the Caucasus Mountains. It can be said that Inervig wants to explore the sea of ​​silence. It is impossible to bypass the Viking nations.

   "Jihai, have you heard the legend about Jiehai?"

   mentioned the sea of ​​silence, and the king of ice sea remembered the rumors related to it.

"The treasure that changed the world. It is said that Inervig can win the Glorious War. It is the part of the treasure that the Victoria's family got deep into the Silent Sea, and the reason they can obtain it is relying on the Wilgardson family." Say.

  "Treasures of the gods...I heard such legends about ten years ago. Not many people knew about it at that time, but these words have increased recently. Do you think this is true or false?"

  The King of Ice Sea turned to Haibod, and Haibod thought for a while and gave an unsure answer.

"I don't know, but from the point of view of the importance of Inervig, there may be something in this sea of ​​silence... But you also know that from the knowledge shared by Inervig, there are all those names in the sea of ​​silence. Goblin monster."

  Thinking of those ferocious monsters, Haibod's heart would chill.

   "So, is this a treasure, or a magic box with disaster, who knows?"

"But I always feel that there is such a sound that it may be related to the conservative lords. The devout believers of Odin, you have stopped the civil war and chose to cooperate with Inervig. In their eyes, it is already a violation. The honour of the Vikings, let alone you let them go to the Sea of ​​Silence."

  Hibald recalled, and continued.

   "In the eyes of those believers, the end of the sea of ​​silence is the sacred Hall of Valor. It is the greatest blasphemy for a group of outsiders to dare to disturb there."

   "Are you finally associating?"

  Listening to Haibod's words, the King of Ice and Sea remembered these believers who wandered through the Viking countries.

   "Yes, they misinterpreted Odin's beliefs, and they are expanding rapidly. I think we'd better deal with them, otherwise it will only become more difficult in the future."

  "This is not important. The evangelical church can rule the Western world with its faith. Doesn't it still rely on the powerful Templar Knights and the Demon Hunting Order?

  It is never belief that determines everything, but gunpowder and steel. Now, these things are firmly held in our hands. "

The   Chenhui Advance has already approached the coast, all this is reflected in the eyes of the King of Ice Sea, and he smiles slightly.

  "Why don't it be better to leave all this to your friends. We are just assisting in this operation and opening the way for them. They will take care of the rest. They should be able to solve the problems perfectly, right?"

   "Is that so? It's not impossible."

  Hyboard felt a little sad when he heard the King of Ice Sea answer this way.

  "Are you worried about him?"

   "No," Haibod denied, "I'm just worried about the guys who come to trouble."

  The pale fireworks were reflected on the dark scale armor, and the sharp blade cut the steel, cutting the twisted flesh and blood into fragmented limbs, and the burned ashes were swept into the sky, turning into black snowflakes and falling.

  Hyboard shook his head, took a deep breath, relieved the pressure in his memories, and said slowly.

   "The ship was carrying more than cannons and soldiers."
