Chapter 517 Leaving the Viking Kingdom
Chapter 517 Leaving the Viking Kingdom
Gao Jianfei had already led his troops to the front-line docks of the Viking Empire and engaged in a fierce battle with the defending forces! Under the cover of sniper fire with grenades, and with dozens of mutated polar bears providing close protection, and with Gao Jianfei and his men providing support, all of his companions in the tunnel soon emerged one after another.
"Anyone still not up here!" Amidst the smoke and fire of battle, Gao Jianfei roared several times. Only after confirming that all his comrades had climbed out of the tunnel did he continue to give orders... "Assault on the wooden boat's mooring location over there! Quickly! Snipers, provide cover! Don't hold back on grenades, use them all! Quickly!"
Gao Jianfei personally directed the troops' retreat. Fifty-four mutated polar bears tightly guarded the perimeter of the group, using their massive size to block the battle axes and hammers hurled by the Viking warriors.
The force of the grenade's explosion caused the surrounding smoke to thicken and spread even more, and flames began to ignite. Some Vikings engulfed in flames let out desperate screams. The crackling and popping sounds of grilling continued incessantly.
The wild animals in the stables were also released and launched a ferocious attack! Because the garrison here was not valued by the Viking Kingdom, their pets were mostly ordinary hunting dogs, with only a few wild horses, and only 5 polar bears.
Before the Vikings' pets could even charge, some were taken down by snipers, while those that actually charged were smashed into mincemeat by Gao Jianfei's polar bear pet.
The Vikings' five pet polar bears were as fragile as paper compared to Gao Jianfei's mutated polar bear, and were easily killed by the mutated polar bear!
The current battle situation is very favorable for Gao Jianfei's troops who are trying to break through. They have killed or blown up more than 400 Viking defenders!
However, Gao Jianfei dared not be careless in the slightest. He led his troops to retreat while fighting, and withdrew towards the wooden boat that had been chosen earlier!
It's important to understand that although this place is some distance from the Viking city-state, it's only a few kilometers away. Now that the battle has begun, Beckenbauer's side must have already noticed, and they will send reinforcements immediately! The Vikings possess spirited steeds and can deploy their highly mobile heavy cavalry at any time. This means that the main Viking force will arrive very soon. To avoid a protracted battle, Gao Jianfei didn't linger and led his troops in a direct retreat!
"Blanc, count how many grenades we have left!" Gao Jianfei roared.
"Master, there are still 67 grenades left!" Blank shouted back.
Gao Jianfei casually grabbed several grenades from a nearby mercenary, pulled the pins, channeled his inner strength into his hands, and threw them with all his might. He accurately threw them to a place far behind where the Vikings were gathered. Instantly, two explosions sent hundreds of Viking guards to their doom.
Blank and the others erupted in cheers like a landslide, revering Gao Jianfei as a god, and their morale soared even higher.
With the number of defenders dwindling, Gao Jianfei and his men successfully seized the ship they wanted. Several agile sailors climbed aboard and lowered the gangplank.
The group began to board the ship.
Gao Jianfei glanced around and found that the Viking garrison at the dock had suffered heavy casualties, with more than half dead and wounded, and the pets were almost completely wiped out. They were powerless to stop Gao Jianfei's troops from retreating.
At the same time, Gao Jianfei's ears twitched a few times. His excellent hearing, combined with his superb internal strength and keen perception, allowed him to quickly determine that the enemy's reinforcements were getting closer and closer!
In fact, Gao Jianfei's guess was correct. As soon as the battle began, morale within the Viking Kingdom began to waver. King Beckenbauer immediately demonstrated his remarkable leadership, personally leading two of the kingdom's most spirited horses and two Viking warriors as heavy cavalry, which then galloped towards the docks! Now, they were less than a kilometer from the docks! They could arrive in no time!
"My lord, everyone is on board! 245 sailors and mercenaries have entered the rowing room and are ready to set sail at any time!"
"Captain Mario," Gao Jianfei called out in his ear.
"Wait!" Gao Jianfei roared, then released a total of 74 polar bears (the 20 polar bears guarding Beckenbauer's treasure room were also taken away by Gao Jianfei), ordering them to rush over and destroy the remaining 49 large wooden ships near the dock!
"Bang! Bang!" "Bang! Bang!"
The mutated polar bears exhibited ferocious destructive power. They used their forelimbs to smash the hull of wooden boats, or they would jump directly onto the boats, leap several meters high, and then fall directly, their terrifying gravity crushing the deck... They would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Gao Jianfei also took out the remaining grenades from the mercenaries and threw them one by one at the wooden boats, blasting holes in the large wooden boats.
Some of the wooden boats were already leaking.
After 10 minutes of fussing, all 49 wooden boats had sustained varying degrees of damage.
At this moment, finally, the Viking reinforcements arrived! Gao Jianfei saw a dense mass of heavy cavalry charging towards the dock!
"Set sail!" Gao Jianfei gave the order, and the 245 sailors and mercenaries on board began to row with all their might, while Mario took the helm, and the wooden boat began to sail out of the dock!
"call out!"
Gao Jianfei took all 74 polar bears into the Ghost Den's special space and finished the job!
"Bastards! Those foreign bastards!"
When the Viking cavalry that came to reinforce them saw the docks littered with mangled corpses, stinking entrails, raging flames, and billowing smoke, they felt an urge to go berserk!
"Archers, prepare to fire!" a battalion commander ordered. The 3,000 Viking heavy cavalrymen in the front row drew their powerful crossbows from the sides of their saddles, aimed at Gao Jianfei's wooden boat, nocked arrows, and prepared to fire!
It's important to understand that the effective range of the crossbows used by these Viking heavy cavalry is about 300 meters. Currently, Gao Jianfei's wooden boat has just set sail, and with a slight headwind, its speed is relatively slow, placing it only about 200 meters away from the heavy cavalry! If the heavy cavalry fires their first volley of arrows, Gao Jianfei's wooden boat will be riddled with holes!
"Damn it, you're playing this game with me!" Gao Jianfei didn't want to fail at the last minute. He quickly took out the medium-sized cannon he had exchanged with Ling Zhen from the ghost den, loaded it with gunpowder, lit a cigarette, and then lit the fuse with a lighter...
"laugh!"
Just as the Viking archers had their bows loaded and were about to fire a volley, Gao Jianfei's cannons had already fired a bomb first!
"boom!"
A violent explosion resounded within the ranks of the well-equipped, neatly arrayed Viking heavy cavalry!
This sudden and terrifying explosion completely disrupted the Viking archers' rhythm. Before they could even fire their arrows, some of them were blasted into the air! Limbs and severed bodies flew everywhere...
"They have gunpowder! They have gunpowder!"
Beckenbauer's heavy cavalry unit began to fall into disarray! Because their positions were too close together, their formation too cramped, and a single explosion was enough to kill hundreds. Therefore, upon discovering that the enemy possessed artillery or similar weapons, they immediately began to scatter!
"Bang!"
When Gao Jianfei was in the United States, during his battle with the US special forces, he not only obtained an artillery piece but also some explosives. Therefore, he decided to use up all the explosives!
The second shot fired, and the heavy cavalry formation exploded, blasting hundreds more heavy cavalrymen to smithereens.
As a result, the heavy cavalry over there were completely thrown into chaos! They had transformed from a well-trained and valiant Viking cavalry unit into a complete rabble!
They began to trample and collide with each other, while others began to retreat like a tide.
Beckenbauer, who was at the back of the line, was dumbfounded by the chaos.
"Your Majesty, let's retreat! The enemy has gunpowder, and the troops at the front have already begun a frantic retreat. If we don't retreat now, we might be hit by their charge! Let's retreat!" Prince Scholes said in a tense and fearful voice.
"Bang!"
The third gunpowder exploded.
Tens of thousands of Viking heavy cavalry began an unstoppable retreat. They had completely lost their fighting spirit and determination to pursue the enemy. As they retreated like a tide, countless comrades were trampled to death along the way!
With the tide turning against them, Beckenbauer turned his horse around and began to retreat towards the city.
After firing several shots, Gao Jianfei's wooden boat was already more than 500 meters away from the horse's head, and with the efforts of more than 200 sailors, the wooden boat gradually moved further and further away.
"Hahahaha!" On the deck, Gao Jianfei, Blanke, and the others burst into wild laughter. The defeat of the Viking army was truly exhilarating!
"Your Excellency, you are truly a godlike figure!" Blank and the others said once again with heartfelt admiration.
Gao Jianfei single-handedly held off tens of thousands of Viking troops in pursuit! It can be said that without Gao Jianfei's artillery barrage, the wooden ship would have been destroyed by the Vikings' crossbows long ago!
"Bang!" Gao Jianfei fired the last bullet, completely blasting a large wooden boat moored at the dock. The wood pieces burst into flames, illuminating the nearby waters in a fiery red glow.
"Cool!"
Gao Jianfei threw the cannon into the ghost den, picked up a cigar, and snapped his fingers triumphantly. Song Ying obediently took out a lighter and lit the cigar for her man.
"You all go down and row!" Gao Jianfei ordered Blanc, the eight snipers, and some mercenaries on the deck.
Blank and the others scurried downstairs, all excited.
Gao Jianfei had an idea. He released the 74 polar bears again. The polar bears rushed into the rowing room and helped the sailors row.
The ship's speed increased.
"Heh heh, Viking Empire, this adventure has given me many things I wanted, but it's not over yet! The plundering has only just begun! I'll be back! Wait for me!" Gao Jianfei leaned on the railing, smoking. "By the way, in a little over an hour, I'll plant the time bomb in the tunnel leading to Beckenbauer's palace, and it'll detonate. I want to see just how much of a shock this will bring to that old devil Beckenbauer, hahaha! You think you can force secrets out of me? You're just asking for trouble!"
Meanwhile, Beckenbauer and his men fled back to the city-state in a panic. Enraged, Beckenbauer immediately ordered some elite troops to the docks to assess the situation.
He himself returned to his palace in a state of shock and fear, where he took a bath to calm his nerves, attended by some of his concubines.
Beckenbauer lay on his back in the bathtub, while several young Viking women, whose figures were not too obese, rubbed his body.
“It’s…it’s terrifying…it’s just…terrifying…” Beckenbauer stammered, his eyes filled with horror. “Who are those outsiders? How could they be so terrifying…it’s unimaginable…”
This time, Beckenbauer really didn't get to eat any mutton; instead, he ended up with a pungent, fishy smell.
To calm his turbulent emotions, Beckenbauer used a distraction method to dispel his fear. He had a Viking woman he had always admired kneel between his legs and serve him orally.
"Ah..." Beckenbauer took a deep breath, deceiving himself into enjoying the warm and tight feeling coming from his lower body, in order to soothe his heart that was about to die of fright.
At this very moment...
Just as Beckenbauer was about to unleash his full potential...
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
An explosion rang out beneath the bathroom—well… I should say, beneath Beckenbauer’s entire palace!
Although the explosion mainly occurred underground and was not enough to damage the sturdy palace, the violent tremors caused by the explosion were like a magnitude 9 earthquake!
As a result, the entire palace shook for a short time!
"Oh!" Beckenbauer, who was about to release his essence, instantly softened. A huge fear enveloped Beckenbauer, who was already like a frightened bird. He kicked away the concubine who still had his soft penis in her mouth, and ran naked out of the bathroom, shouting in terror, "Earthquake! Earthquake!"
Chaos erupted within the palace! Large numbers of Viking guards and maids scurried about like ants on a hot plate, and they had the "good fortune" of seeing His Majesty Beckenbauer completely naked.
I also saw... His Majesty Beckenbauer's limp penis.
After half an hour of panic, it was finally confirmed that it was not an earthquake. Beckenbauer's face was completely pale, and he was helped to get dressed by a maid while trembling.
In fact, for the rest of his life, Beckenbauer would never be able to perform sexually again, because the sudden fright that caused him to soften just as he was about to ejaculate made him unable to achieve a normal erection forever!
I was so scared I became male, you know...
After that, the Vikings spent another hour investigating and found out the truth behind the "false earthquake." It turned out that an explosion had occurred beneath His Majesty Beckenbauer's palace.
An extremely ominous premonition gripped Beckenbauer, and he screamed nervously, "I...I...my treasure...will the treasure be alright?"
Thus, under the protection of the guards, Beckenbauer stumbled and rushed into the treasure vault.
Twenty polar bears, dedicated to guarding the treasure, have vanished!
The area around the treasure vault was extremely deserted.
“Damn it! What’s going on!” Beckenbauer screamed hysterically.
The dozen or so servants who were responsible for feeding the polar bears lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, and told Beckenbauer that all 20 polar bears had been obediently staying at their posts during the day, guarding the treasure room, but... they were nowhere to be found.
Summoning his remaining courage, Beckenbauer opened the door to the treasure room, only to find the vast vault shrouded in darkness!
There was no glitter of gold or jewels! Just complete darkness.
“Uh…” Beckenbauer let out a groan involuntarily, the sound echoing in the empty treasure vault… This was something that would never have happened before!
“Fire…fire…fire…torch…” Beckenbauer felt very cold, and he ordered his men in a trembling voice.
