[Military sub-plane] superflanker compilation and collation
<h1>10, magical mushrooms</h1>
The Vikings were once the most formidable military force in Europe. One of the major reasons why the Vikings could quickly gain superiority on the battlefield was that the Viking troops would enter a crazy phase known as "savage killing" on the battlefield, in which the Vikings would explode like chicken blood, brutally amputating anyone who stood in their way. A recently published theory suggests that the Vikings entered the "savage killing" phase because they would eat a poisonous mushroom (Mario... This mushroom was called an artifact by the Vikings as a mushroom. According to the publisher of the theory, the mushroom was found in large quantities in the primitive gathering areas of the Vikings, and in addition to hallucinations, the mushroom also increased the amount of adrenaline secreted by the human body (finally figuring out why Mario ate mushrooms).
<h1>9. Magical soup
</h1>
Blood and killing were an important part of Viking culture, and the Vikings themselves were very tolerant of injuries, so Viking women became masters of treating trauma. Viking women have a particularly effective method of judging injuries. If the Viking warrior's body was injured, the Viking woman would feed the Viking soldier a soup made with onions, celery, and other herbs. When the warrior finished drinking the soup, the Viking woman would crawl to the wound to smell if there was a taste (no wonder the soup was so heavy), and if she could smell a very heavy soup, it meant that the person was seriously injured and had no cure, still letting him fend for himself, and turning to treating the less injured.
<h1>8, Viking Excalibur
The Vikings have a lot of things in their arsenal, battle axes, spears are common weapons used by the Vikings, and even the Viking shields have good attack power. However, the Vikings' most valuable weapon was their long sword. In fact, there is no special sword called the Viking Excalibur, but each Viking sword has his legendary experience. The Vikings would name a new Viking sword, which would not only accompany his master for a lifetime, but would also be given to his master's descendants. As the Viking child grew up, his father would constantly tell him about the battles and enemies that the sword had fought, and this family inheritance not only inherited the Viking tradition of martial arts, but also created a Viking Excalibur full of legendary stories. The Viking longsword casting process is complex and powerful, and it can easily cut through a person's skull, or a sword can directly cut off a person's limb. Due to the length of the swords, the Vikings carried them on their backs and ignored them at all times, even when sleeping with the swords.
<h1>7. Fighting competitions
The standard of trial for the Vikings was completely different from today's legal system. Like many medieval European countries, the Vikings had a strong class color, and it was absolutely forbidden to humiliate a Viking of a higher social class, but killing people was not necessarily illegal. For example, if a person is murdered, his family can kill the murderer (even if the murderer is from a higher class), which of course can easily lead to generational hatred. Another way is a fighting competition, the essence of which is duel. If a person feels that the other person is doing something wrong, he can propose a duel to that person. The challenger must personally prove the guilt of the other party, while the recipient of the challenge can choose a volunteer to appear on his behalf (or on his own). If the recipient himself or his agent is not present, he is directly convicted, and if the sin is so great, all Vikings can kill him on any occasion; and if the man is a slave owner, then his slave can also kill him.
<h1>6. Games
Vikings games are also very bloody, and the level of violence will make the UFC look as elegant as ballet. In viking games, death or serious injury is very normal. There is a uniform rule in viking games that participants can opt out at any time, so if someone dies while playing the game, it's his own problem. A common game of the Vikings was "swimming", in which two people needed to press each other's heads into the water until someone couldn't stand it, but often someone drowned. Viking games also include combat games, with one Viking child recorded inserting a father and son into the head of another child in the game, resulting in the child's death on the spot.
<h1>5. Kill the baby
Because the Vikings fought all year round, and they lived in the north of Europe, the environment was extremely harsh, so the Vikings wanted their children to be stronger. In Viking culture, everyone, including children, was supposed to take on the job. So, once newborn babies find out about their disabilities, or have some other problem at a very young age, they are immediately abandoned and left to freeze to death in the snow of Northern Europe.
<h1>4, sex slaves
Now, most historians agree that the golden age of Vikings began in 796. For nearly three hundred years, from 796 to 1066, vikings set out from Norway and plundered along the coastline of Europe, even in Britain and the Black Sea. But historians have never been able to figure out why the Vikings began their journey of looting. There is a theory that the high latitudes of norway and their selection of babies led to a serious imbalance in the male-female ratio of the Vikings, which led to the hard work of Viking men to go all over Europe to kidnap beautiful women and return to their wives (thinking animals), which may also explain why the Vikings were not interested in wealth on the way to robbery. A recent genetic study may confirm this claim. Scientists have done a lot of genetic research on the populations of countries near Iceland, through which the origin of the ancestors of the present Nordics can be determined. The results found that 80 percent of the men's ancestors were from Norway, while 63 percent of the female ancestors were from the UK, a result that confirmed the previous theory.
<h1>3, Redbeard Eric even the Vikings thought he was too cruel
Eric is known for his red hair. But the Viking hero's cruelty was so frightening that even the Vikings themselves felt frightened. Eric was driven away by his own people four times in his life for killing, and once because his neighbor refused to return a few firewood, Eric slaughtered their entire family, causing the whole family to drive Eric directly to Iceland. Eric was kicked around by several Viking tribes throughout his life until he settled down in his later years.
<h1>2. Sacrifice with children
An archaeological excavation in 2011 confirmed the claim that the Vikings used living sacrifices, and archaeologists found human bones and sacrificial jewelry on a Viking altar. In addition, through some documents and other findings, archaeologists have finally confirmed that the Vikings used children to perform ritual activities in extreme cases in order to reconcile the spirits.
<h1>1, Blood Eagle
The Blood Eagle was the most brutal form of execution by the Vikings, comparable to Ling Chi in China. The tortured prisoners would first be jarded with several bowls of herbs to ensure their vitality and not to die too early (mushrooms?). ）。 The tortured person is then tied to the torture rack face down, exposing his back. At this time, the execution officially began. First, the executioner would use a sharp blade to cut a wingless eagle pattern in the center of the victim's back; then, cut off the flesh on the northern sides of the prisoner, exposing the ribs, and then break the ribs one by one with an axe; then break the broken ribs out with brute force, combine with the previously cut eagle, and become a red, human bone-winged eagle; this is not finished, after a period of demonstration, the executioner will use a skillful knife to dig out the entire lung of the prisoner from the back. It is not yet possible to cut off the trachea and then place the lungs under the "wings", so that the breath of the prisoner will lift the "wings", creating a dynamic picture of the "eagle" flying, and the executioner will also sprinkle salt on the back of the prisoner, which has made a background effect. The tortured person will remain in this state until finally death... Wait, I'll go and spit it out first...
Editor: To be honest, except for the last Blood Eagle, I thought that the life of the Vikings would be very bloody, and now I find a lot of things that are quite interesting, such as Mario's mushrooms; and the way Viking women heal their wounds is also full of wisdom. It seems that the real Vikings are really thick and thin.
