Dark clouds descend upon your abbey, as thunder makes the ground quake.

A fellow nun cries out, The Vikings are coming!

Their torches burn like dragonfire, ready to scorch the place to the ground.

Those who try to run will get their throats cut or be taken away in chains.

Your father, King Alfred of Wessex, thought you'd be safe here.

But now, all you can do is pray.

Dear God, please send the mightiest Viking under our way.

For decades, the Vikings have come here to loot, and chapels full of golden crosses are a welcome bounty.

Some nuns try to fight back by going full barbarian.

In one nunnery, sisters cut off their noses and upper lips to scare the Vikings off.

But they keep coming back.

to first take care of some viking hunting at first ethel fled's husband leads the fight but when he falls around 902,

Mercia suddenly finds itself ruled by a woman.

A lady leading a kingdom is unusual, but with her land and younger sister still living in the shadow of Viking raids,

she's determined to strike back by bringing out the heavy artillery.

When the Vikings gather around the city of Chester in 907,

Aethelflaed soldiers greet them by pouring boiling water over them to burn their flesh and bones.

As the invaders scream and stumble back, legend has it that Mercia's soldiers hurl beehives at them to secure the kill.

While Ethelfledd crushes the raiders in the north, her brother Edward, now King of Wessex, is clearing the south.

They're the ultimate Viking hunting team, so when their enemies start creeping close to their sister's abbey, they know exactly what to do.

None shall pass.

Years of poor health have left Ethelgifu in no condition to run.

So her siblings decide to send their forces to meet the Vikings.

Their armies catch up with them near Tessenhall.

The Viking hunter siblings split their formation to enclose the Norsemen, cutting off any hope of escape.

All the raiders can do is form a shield wall, but Ethelflaed's troops are relentless.

They keep on pounding their exposed heads until their skulls crack.

Even the Nordic kings riding with the formation aren't spared.

When the dust settles, one of the strongest Viking armies in England is gone.

Not long after the battle, Æthelflaed's husband, the Lord of Mercia, dies.

But that's okay.

By now, everyone knows who's really leading the fight.

Ring of Fire To stop the invaders from pushing farther south and reaching her sister's abbey, Æthelflaed builds fortified towns at strategic locations,

drawing a ring around Mercia that no raider can break.

For the next seven years, Æthelflaed rules with an iron fist.

When she's not commanding soldiers or fortresses, she's securing alliances with the Irish and Welsh to finish off her enemies.

By 918, the Vikings know it's time to jump ship.

Some raiders who have occupied York for nearly half a century swear allegiance to her, even willing to fight against her last enemies and form part of her government.

But before she can finish the conquest, her heart of steel finally gives out.

While her daughter is chosen as the next Lady of Mercia, Æthelflaed's brother is done sharing his power with a woman and takes away his niece's crown.

Some say she then spent the rest of her days as a nun.

The king may be trying to erase Æthelflaed's legacy,

but monasteries see her as a martyr and immortalize her story in the Mercian Register.

The mighty Viking Hunter, who devoted her life to keeping bloodthirsty raiders away from their chapels.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
