Halfdan did not notice the sarcasm in Alfred's tone, and shouted to him: "Alfred, you have finally caught up! Your fleet is suitable for naval battles, and Sealand's fleet is behind, with more numbers than
You still have few. Defeat them in one fell swoop!"
However, Alfred smiled and shook his head:
"Halfdan, these things are easy to talk about. But before that, here are a few letters, which have been sent from your territory in Scotland in the past few days. Your subordinates asked me to deliver them to you.
Why don’t you take a look first?”
Halfdan let the boat sail to Alfred's side in confusion, and took the letters from his hands - all letters for help from his territory. The contents of the letters were almost the same: Halfdan's territory
We are being attacked by Alfred's army, and we hope Halfdan can quickly return reinforcements.
However, these letters asking for help were naturally intercepted by Alfred who was traveling behind because the boat was too slow.
"Halfdan, you don't think that my gift money is given to you in vain, do you?"
Halfdan's hand holding the letter began to shake.
——Alfred offered him a gift of money as a gesture of goodwill, which he happily accepted.
——Alfred personally led the troops to accompany him on the expedition, so he no longer had any doubts.
——Alfred's fleet is only suitable for naval battles and has poor transportation function. He felt that this could just make up for the shortcomings of his own fleet, so he didn't complain too much.
——But the weak transportation function just means that a large number of Alfred's troops still remain in Great Britain.
He looked at the young king in front of him in disbelief - he actually sent troops to attack his territory while accompanying him on an expedition? Wasn't he afraid that his plan would be exposed and be swallowed up by his own large army on the spot?
Alfred answered the question in his mind with a smile:
"Unifying Great Britain is an unprecedented undertaking. How can we achieve this goal if we don't have enough courage?"
"Do you know? Why is my fleet so slow? Because they don't need much speed at all - from the beginning, it was not designed to block the landing of your fleet, but to defeat you when you retreat.
The road to retreat is blocked."
Halfdan shouted: "You thought from the beginning that I would fail in Zealand!?"
"Retreat? No - although your defeat this time did save me a lot of trouble. But do you really think that your transport fleet, which only has a numerical advantage, can defeat the warships I built specifically for you on the sea?
"
"This is the first time this fleet has been unsheathed - watch carefully, this fleet will gradually replace your superiority on the sea. In the near future, I will rule the entire Great Britain, and Great Britain will rule the entire ocean
!”
"You said...you want to rule the entire ocean?"
Halfdan suddenly raised his head and laughed like his brother Sigurd! An unusually bright light suddenly flashed in the sky. Halfdan took advantage of the opportunity of everyone to squint their eyes and jumped to Alf
On Red's boat, he swung his ax and struck Alfred!
Alfred's eyes were so stung by the flash that he couldn't see Halfdan's movements. But he knew that the danger was approaching, so he drew out his sword and blocked it upwards. In this block, his sword and Halfdan's
The axes happened to hit each other, and Halfdan's ax was immediately cut off in half!
However, Alfred, who could not see anything, could not withstand all Halfdan's attacks. After the ax was cut off, Halfdan grabbed Alfred's wrist and used brute force to force the sword from him.
snatched it from his hand!
The sword in Halfdan's hand shone with a light several times more dazzling than the sun!
"The Sword in the Lake! I know it! It can cut everything! Now it's mine!"
At this time, Alfred's vision recovered somewhat. He saw Halfdan swinging his sword towards him, and quickly retreated and dodged. Halfdan chased him all the way, and the "Sword in the Lake" slashed crazily in the air.
, cut everything that collided along the way, including the guards, masts, including the ballista installed on the bow, into two pieces!
"Glahid!" Alfred shouted, and a young knight who was lying on the ground threw the sword on his waist at the sound. Alfred pulled out Glahid's sword, and then
He finally blocked a slash from the Sword in the Lake. But his vision had not yet fully recovered, and the scene in front of him was still shaky. In the blink of an eye, he had more than ten injuries on his body, two of which were even serious enough to be fatal.
.He soon couldn't hold on anymore and fainted on the ground.
With a cruel smile on his face, Halfdan raised his sword high, ready to pierce Alfred's heart in one fell swoop.
"yol toor shul(breath of fire)"
Along with a deep roar, a powerful flame blew like a strong wind and swept half of the deck. Halfdan's clothes were instantly burned by the ferocious flames, and even his armor melted and deformed.
However, Halfdan's body and hair were not damaged at all. He raised his head and turned to the person who made the voice just now - an old man in black robes - and shouted: "Aingale, the flames created by magic can't hurt you.
Me! The protection of Baldur, the God of Light, can help me resist the invasion of all magic!"
"A mere elf-level protected person dares to claim to be protected from magic?"
The old man responded calmly. Soon, another roar came from his mouth:
"fus ro dah (the unyielding force)"
His voice turned into a strange force that was faster than the storm, knocking down everything in front of him, the ship's railings were raised directly, and even nearby ships were pushed back several meters. Halfdan's feet were on the deck
A deep grasp formed. But he used the sword in the lake to penetrate the deck and stabilize his body, so that he was not pushed directly from the deck.
"Aingale! You unbeliever! Don't even try to defeat me with your weird magic!"
"faas ru maar (shock roar)"
The old man roared for the third time without hesitation. When Halfdan heard it, he suddenly felt that his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. The primitive instinct of a living creature speeded up on him, causing him to escape from here immediately.
Halfdan trembled, raised his sword, and stabbed himself in the abdomen. The pain made him drive away all fear. He pulled out his sword, shouted and slashed at the old man.
The old man did not dodge. When the sword in the stone was about to stab his body, he recited:
"feim zii gron(phantom blur)"
The Sword in the Stone passed through his body, but did not cause any damage to him. Halfdan went crazy and hit him with the sword, but that series of actions was just cutting the air in vain.
"zun haal viik (disarm)"
The Sword in the Stone suddenly flew out of Halfdan's hand. Halfdan stood in a daze with his hands empty.
The sword soon came back - piercing Halfdan's body.
Halfdan looked at the man holding the sword in disbelief—Alfred, who was in high spirits. He didn't look like he had just been seriously injured.
"Where are your... injuries?"
"Did you know that the reason why the Sword in the Lake is called the Demon Sword is not because of the sharpness of the sword, but because of the magical healing power of its scabbard."
Alfred smiled and pulled out the sword. Blood poured out of Halfdan's chest like a fountain.
"I...am going to die?"
Halfdan still refused to believe this fact until the last moment.
"Loki's protector has appeared...Badr's protector is dead...could it be...that the Twilight of the Gods is really coming?"
A generation of legendary pirates, "White Shirt" Halfdan, who conquered Scotland, died under Alfred's sword.
At the last moment, not only was he not wearing a white shirt, but he was also naked.
The fleet behind Alfred took advantage of the momentum and pounced. Halfdan's fleet had just suffered a major defeat and lost its general. It was unable to make any effective resistance. The naval battle ended after only half a day.
At this moment, Ella's fleet slowly drifted over.
"Alfred——" She pointed the crowbar at the King of Knights in front of her and shouted.
"I hope you can remember that today, I gave you this victory!"
