Chapter 370: Chapter 370 – Set it on Fire!
"Leave it to me, Breeze." FreakingNoob stepped forward and passed by Max with some people who caught up to them. "From the look of it, their target is you. It's better if you stay behind and not get hurt."
"Thanks, then." Max said and smiled, "One of them, with the large axe, shouted Blood God earlier. He's one of you, so teach him some manners."
"One of us, huh?" The brown-haired man smirked.
"Yup. Also, after the game, I have something to talk about a little, so can you tell me your private contact? Of course, if you don't want to, we can meet in one of the Public Lobby too. Please tell LovelyOtter about this too."
"Well, that's fine. But are you sure you're going to raise a flag like that?"
"Hahaha, it's fine." Max laughed merrily as he stepped backward. "Look, they have arrived. I am counting on you."
The clash began right after Max began to sprint away. Some enemies tried to chase after him, but the large group that arrived blocked them by shoving them away and cutting them up.
Blood splattered around as the players killed each other. This group was even stronger than the previous one. And because they were ready to confront them, they never hesitated to attack and swing their weapons.
As a result, there were 10 casualties coming from Max's group. Even then, the fight wasn't over yet. MadLad and the red-haired guy from earlier were still standing. The former fought against ArcherGirly while the latter was against FreakingNoob.
Their fights were pretty equal. Their weapons clashed, and there were a few moments where each person almost got killed.
No one knew who would win. The group stopped in their places to watch them dance. However… That ended when two axes flew toward both the red-haired man and MadLad.
The former managed to block it using his large axe, but MadLad couldn't do it. The axe hit his shoulder, causing him to flinch. That opened the path for ArcherGirly to end his life by piercing his neck with an arrow.
FreakingNoob also didn't waste the chance when the war axe covered his enemy's whole body. He quickly moved behind him and stabbed his heart, ending his life.
"Blood… God…" The red-haired man muttered before he fell onto the snow and changed surroundings into red with his blood.
[Team 3 +1 point!]
[Team 3 +1 point!]
As soon as the battle was over, Max shouted loudly at the group. "You maggots! What did I tell you before? We will use our numbers to fight the enemies! Why are you standing there like a useless statue? Huh?
Tell me!"
"Sir, yes, sir! We were wrong!"
"The fight was too exciting to watch, sir! We are betting!"
"I saw a chance to make money so I stopped helping, sir!"
"Call me chief, not sir! We're freaking Vikings." Max retorted to them and picked up his axes.
What was too exciting? And a chance to make money? Why wouldn't they invite him in that case?!
— Poor Breeze, he has to deal with our kind directly
— Hahaha, and there are 40 of them!
— o7 Yes, chief. If you remember you're Viking, why did you march with the army choir?
— lol, exactly my question.
"I did it because it was fun, obviously," Max answered the chat and moved to their front.
He looked around the area and noticed a large body of water in the distance. What lay ahead couldn't be seen as it was covered in thick fog, but he believed it would lead to another island similar to where they were.
'Maybe there is another team there. And looking at that shore, we definitely will be able to find a boat or a ship there.'
Staying on this island would limit their options. He had to split this into two groups, the explorer and the hunter to achieve good results.
From what he had seen earlier, FreakingNoob could become a good leader.
"What should we do, leader?" ArcherGirly approached him and looked at the sea in the distance.
"The teams are definitely sent to a few islands. From this map's terrain, this might not be a sea but just a large lake. The fog makes it look like an ocean. However, some teams are definitely in the middle of that."
That referred to at sea… No, at the large lake that could be mistaken as a sea. Getting a ship would definitely cut their travel time to the other side.
After considering the pros and cons of whether they should spend time to find a ship, he made a decision.
"Let's go around the lake. We will find the port and take the ships. If there is one ship, we will take it and go around the shores until the fog gets cleared. If there are two ships…" He paused a little and grinned, "We will set one on fire. We can't have our enemies getting a free ship, no?"
"Ouu!"
"We will follow you, chief!"
"Chief! Chief! Chief Breeze!"
Hearing their excited chants, Max nodded and raised his arms.
"Let's go!" He shouted, "Valhalla is calling for us! Pull together for the clan and kins!"
"Oooh!"
"Let's go!"
They moved once again, going down the hill. The snow had stopped falling and the sky cleared up slightly.
"Blood and glory await us! Bash their heads with shields and axe! Send them into the Odin's Hall! Wind and the waves will set them free."
Arriving at the shore, they circled it and quickly what could be called a port. Three large ships were tied to strong pillars, keeping it at bay.
On the ship's body, many cannons could be seen jutting out from the windows. It was a warship!
Seeing them, Max's face lit up. He turned to the group behind him that halted as soon as he stopped. He looked around to find someone and speak.
"FreakingNoob and ArcherGirly, I trust you to take the command of those maggots. I have my own duty to finish. Only I can do this one. Set the other two on fire."
"Got it."
"So I am the leader now? Nice." ArcherGirly smiled and patted his shoulder, "You don't need to return either. We will get a lot of kills even without you."
"Hahaha, that's reassuring."
Max laughed and stayed in the place until all of the group boarded. They used alcohol to cover the other two ships and lit them on fire. They became the best campfire that burned above the water.
After seeing everyone left, Max turned around and put up his fur armor.
"Now, then…" He walked away from the shore and headed toward the heavy snow area where he confronted MadLad's group earlier. "Let's do an assassin stuff. I've always wanted to do this since I heard this game's name, hahaha. Viking's Assassin. Cool, right?"
— Yeah, yeah…
— So this is why you don't want to become the leader lol
— How irresponsible. He just threw the command to FreakingNoob and easy-to-please streamer and went ahead by himself lol
— Sounds fun! Show us how you do an assassination!
"Hehe, I have watched gameplay about an assassin in the Viking era before. I know I can pull it off with parkour."
Naturally, Max was talking about a certain masterpiece in his past life, but he worded it in a way that his viewers didn't doubt his words.
"God bless barbarians!"
