Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 95 Showdown on the Ship 2: Cause of Brother’s Death

Tom lowered his head, looking at the Saxon sword that was clearly stabbing him with a smile in his eyes, and slid it against his waist.

The target is pointed directly behind you!
This battle has already begun, but it's a pity that we can't see who will win between the two, and who will accompany him to hell.

His thoughts gradually stopped, and his figure fell towards the deck.

The moment before he fell to the ground, the fine Saxon sword broke through the leather armor of the man behind him and stabbed in, all the way through.

"Rayleigh..."

Itia's pupils were about to burst, and her dagger slashed straight at the despicable warrior holding the sword, but the opponent retreated one step ahead of time.

The Laughing Man succeeded with one blow, and without any hesitation, he immediately gave up his sword, dodged the woman's sword edge, and retreated more than ten steps straight back to Gorton's side at the bow of the ship.

Bang!
Tom fell to the ground, and Rayleigh withdrew the sword from the back of his neck. With his other hand, he covered the hilt of the sword that had penetrated his waist. He staggered back a few steps and was supported by Itia.

tick...

A large amount of blood spread from the handle of the knife, instantly dyeing the surrounding leather armor red, and dripped along his fingers towards the deck.

"Leili, how are you?" Itiya didn't care about the smiling man at this time, and supported the man beside her, looking anxious and at a loss.

"Jinat..." Raup frowned and felt it was difficult to breathe. He did not expect that before the head-on conflict with Gorton began, Reilly suffered a serious injury.

I sighed helplessly in my heart, I am afraid I will die here in this battle!

In this unexpected scene, many soldiers on the ship also did not realize what happened. It was obvious that Genat's sword was aimed at Thom, and he had not dealt with Thom before... In the end, the blade pierced Lei behind him. A sharp body.

Why did he do this? ?

The following conversation solved some of their doubts.

The eagle's eyes flickered with disbelief, looking at the deep face at the dragon's head: "You are disobeying Commander Daoen..."

"Yes, but if I kill you, I will be condemned at most, and you will die." Gorton looked down at the eagle eyes condescendingly, "Which one do you think is more cost-effective?"

"Captain Gorton, you will not be forgiven for killing your own kind." Raup asked sternly.

"Look at the man on the deck, why didn't you say this just now?" Gorton glanced at the rebellious boy coldly, "Am I still your captain? No, you have already married your daughter to Jackham. .”

"Lelic is different from Thom. As he said before, Thom has no fighting spirit. He is disgraced to his tribe and would not regret his death."

Raopu raised his voice and threatened, "As for Leili, if you count his deeds this year, he has made countless contributions to the tribe, and it is also the future of the tribe. You must think clearly about the consequences."

"Okay, then I'll give him a chance." Gordon stared into the eagle eyes and said in a cold voice, "As long as you kill the woman next to you, you can live."

"cough……"

Rayleigh coughed up blood at the corner of his mouth, holding the sword in his right hand on the deck, "It's my fault that my brother misjudged the wrong person and entrusted his sincerity to a white-eyed wolf like you."

This sentence also made all the soldiers on the ship who had been favored by Thor in the past feel some emotions in their hearts.

Several soldiers asked:

"Captain Gorton, why on earth are you doing this?"

"Yes, why did you kill Captain Saul's wife and brother?"

Facing the questioning glances, Gorton's expression did not change. He pointed to the body supported by the sword: "Why, because he is the white-eyed wolf."

Rayleigh is a white-eyed wolf?

The surrounding eyes all flashed with confusion.

"Bassomo stepped down and the fleet was reorganized. Commander Daun asked him to choose a warship to join. He chose to join this ship just to deal with me. He also released the news of selling the sword later and took advantage of you thinking about the past when Thor left behind. Choosing to take sides due to their affection also illustrates this point."

Gordon looked across the people on the boat, "But why do you think he did this?"

After giving everyone some time to think, the dragon-headed man continued: "Because he felt that Thor's death was caused by me. The reason is: he probably got some information from the prophet. In the battle when Thor was seriously injured, I I yelled, ‘Some people, help me’.”

The soldiers on the ship recalled the battle at that time. It seemed that Gorton did shout such a sentence, but it seemed that he did not... In any case, it is too far-fetched to conclude that Thor was killed by Gorton based on this alone.

The captain's voice continued to reach my ears:
"In that battle, Thor and I were separated, and I also noticed that Thor was under siege. But considering the battle situation, the most reasonable way was to first help the weak who might die. And with Thor's ability at the time, Facing only four soldiers who are not elite, even if one more is added later, not to mention killing all the opponents, at least they can fully support our support."

"But the final result was beyond my expectation. Thor soon became exhausted and was seriously injured. Then we went to kill the wave of soldiers, and the last one was seriously injured and asked to stay."

A flash of memory flashed in Gordon's eyes, "At that time, I felt strange why those soldiers who were not strong could defeat Thor. Later I found out the reason."

"What's the reason?" All the soldiers on the ship were surprised.They had never thought about this problem before, and they always thought that Captain Saul died in an accident.But according to Captain Gorton, there seems to be another reason.

"A few hours before the battle, Saul ate dried cod fish brought from home. Later, I carefully inspected the dried cod fish and discovered the problem. Some dried cod fish contained numbing substances."

Gorton continued, "If you are infected with narcotic toxin, you will most likely misjudge your reaction and strength during the battle. In the end, Thor was seriously injured in such a siege."

"It was those dried cod fish containing numbing substances that killed Captain Saul, and those foods were all..."

Genat took the words, took out a small knife and pointed it at Itia, "It was all done by this woman. As Thor's wife, she is so vicious and has sinister intentions. She deserves to die."

Faced with this heavy truth——

After the soldiers on the ship reacted, their eyes locked on the vicious woman with anger.

If you make a mistake in judging your own strength, you may be able to react and take the attack one step slower after being poisoned, which is indeed fatal.

"Captain Gorton, since you have already discovered it, why didn't you make it public earlier and didn't tell the truth until now?" Raup asked.

"Because I don't have conclusive evidence, she won't admit it." Gorton shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid you still don't know what kind of person she is. She comes from Puffin, but she has never been seen by us in Mist Crow for so many years. Don’t you think it’s strange that he has returned to Puffin, or that Puffin’s family has come to visit her?”

"What's the reason?" a soldier asked.

The other soldiers thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case. If Puffin still had a family, this situation would not happen.

"Could it be that her family members are no longer here?" Another soldier asked.

"No, in order to investigate the cause of Sol's death, I went to Puffin to investigate Sol's wife."

Gorton continued, "The results obtained are that the mother died when she was young, but the father is still there, and there is a stepmother. The stepmother originally had a pair of children, but they were both killed by this woman. The daughter was pushed into the well, and the boy was He was still a baby and was killed. The vicious behavior spread is outrageous..."

"You are completely slandering." Itia angrily interrupted the words that reached her ears.

"Is it a slander? Everyone knows about Puffin."

The dragon's head looked at the soldiers on the boat, "You can go to Puffin when you are free in the future to see if, as I said, that tribe's evaluation of her is that she has a heart of snakes and scorpions, a dangerous monster, and a beast with a human face... Such vocabulary."

"I have been to the Puffin Tribe, and there are a lot of bad things about her spread there." A soldier said, and then looked at Itia, "If you didn't do those things, then show the evidence."

"If she really had a way to prove her innocence, she wouldn't have allowed those rumors to spread in Puffin for so many years, and she wouldn't have lost contact with her family." Another soldier said, "I think she has a vicious heart and doesn't want to see her stepmother. Killing her children, she has been in our tribe for less than half a year, and she couldn’t see how generous Captain Saul was to his friends, so we started to kill him.”

Genat took over: "So, this is why Captain Gorton said that Reilly was a white-eyed wolf. The only remaining man in the Bastian family supported a murderer who killed his brother."

Following these words, the soldiers on the ship were filled with emotion, and their gazes towards those eagle eyes also changed a bit.Some of the mysteries were also revealed, including why Captain Gorton had never been to Bastion Farm since Captain Saul's death.

Genat looked at everyone and said again: "We are all people who have been favored by Captain Saul. Now that he has died at the hands of a villain, we want to avenge him."

"Avenge Captain Saul and kill this woman!" A soldier pulled out an axe.

Immediately there was a chorus of ax draws, and a large number of eyes flashing with murderous intent were fixed on the murderer who was supporting Lei Li.

At this time, Raopu and the two or three soldiers beside him were also at a loss and didn't understand how the situation suddenly became like this.

Now that the public is outraged, even if Captain Gorton doesn't take action, I'm afraid the surrounding soldiers won't spare the two people they support.

At the dragon's head, Gordon pressed his palms to signal everyone to be quiet, and locked his eyes with the eagle eyes: "Rayleigh, I think you are Thor's brother, and you were deceived by that woman who was good at lying because you were young. I believe everyone can Give you a chance to correct your mistakes, kill the vicious woman next to you, and treat everything as if it never happened."

The crowd on board immediately responded:

"Kill her, kill the woman."

"Rayleigh, help your brother get revenge."

"Rayleigh, listen to Captain Gorton and take action..."

brush--

The moment Gordon put down his hand, there was a sudden pain, and his pupils froze.

In the peripheral vision of several soldiers, they noticed that a small knife suddenly penetrated the gap in the leather armor of Captain Gordon's wrist joint, and their expressions flashed with astonishment.

At this time, most of the soldiers on the ship were still staring fiercely at the murderer in their eyes, until their pupils reflected an unbelievable scene, and they saw:

The woman raised her eyes to look at the bow of the ship, a smile on her face.
