The Sorgon fleet of the Ross people rushed to the east. Based on past experience, Rurik felt that his father's trip this time was theoretically the earliest he returned in early October.
More pessimistic estimates, the fleet will return in mid-October.
In short, they will never return until the end of October. The reason is very simple. That is, at the beginning of November every year, the Baltic Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland begin to freeze, and finally the ice layer can be as thick as 50 centimeters. It becomes a stable place for running, but it is also a nightmare for sailing.
What's more, part of the sea was frozen in mid-October.
Shortly after the fleet set off, an autumn rain hit Roseburg.
To be sure, this autumn rain will definitely affect Otto's fleet.
The Ross people are not afraid of the autumn rain. They paddle in the cold, so that when the rain stops for a while, the oarsmen can see the heat coming out of each other, especially when they wear hats, take off their hoods, and their head It's like a pot of water about to boil.
The temperature dropped sharply, and Rurik stood at his door, feeling the cold wind.
This was just an autumn rain, and the situation could only get worse.
The autumn rain lasted for five full days, and Rurik didn't know whether everything was normal in the fleet under his father's command, and whether anyone was ill. After all, they are sea warriors. Once they leave their home port, survival or destruction depends entirely on their own ability.
For the huge risks of sailing, the Ross people have long been prepared.
Up to now, if the fleet encounters disasters such as heavy snow, hail, and huge waves, most of the crew members are buried in the sea, and even Otto himself is swallowed by the sea, and the tribe can only admit their lives.
Compared with previous times, today's Ruth people have stronger anti-risk ability.
Because the tribes no longer need to compete for the position of the big leader by means of competitions.
Times have changed, and there is no need for this at all.
Could it be that a mortal, even if he is strong, dare to compete with the "son of Odin" for power?
What's more, this person who has been blessed by the great god, he is indeed the Son of God descended.
Nowadays, quite a lot of tribesmen are still accepting the favor of Rurik, especially the boys in the tribe.
After all, the tribe has only four thousand people. Among them, more than 150 boys between the ages of seven and nine have become Rurik's guys. For those younger boys, the parents of the children are also eager for the youngest sons to be right away. Become Rurik's brother.
Renna is always very realistic, and the parents of the child understand it, but any tribal boy younger than Rurik can be rewarded with food as long as he obeys Rurik.
See what the kids eat? Every day is a combination of oatmeal and meat. The abundance of food makes adults salivate!
Most people are happy to see that their young sons can have the opportunity to eat, and by the way, it is also a good thing to cut their family's expenses.
Only a small number of insightful people realized that Rurik's methods were much more sophisticated than his old leader's father.
Up to now, even in the rainy weather, delicious meals are still provided.
Even those tribal girls who were neglected and even dispensable were organized by Rurik.
It is already the end of September, and those orphans from Mellaren and refugee girls from Ostara are receiving the favor of Rurik every day. Even if some refugees have been taken in by the tribe, refugee girls are still given food.
Rurik is indeed a benevolent saint, and this sage is based on the huge wealth that Rurik has made for a whole year.
The children's food costs consume 20 silver coins every day, and he can fully support this ratio at the moment. The so-called "big money box" does this! Rurik felt that he was using "tribal finance" money to provide nutritious meals to the children of the tribe. The people of the tribe did not understand. All they could recognize was that Rurik was really a saint.
After nearly four weeks of self-cultivation, the begging girls who have been in a state of semi-hungry for a long time, their skinny figures have changed greatly.
They eat far more food than their peers in other tribes every day, especially the intake of carbon water and grease, which is completely different from the appearance when they first arrived in Roseburg.
Their small faces have regained fullness and rosy, and many people also have baby fat, and their golden hair has been carefully cleaned and **** to become uniform and delicate braids.
They wore linen clothes tailored for them, which were exactly the same as the original ten maids of Rurik.
Lurik's new maids from the Mellaren tribe. They all wore a silver necklace, on which was engraved with the name "Loyal to Rurik" on the back of the name of the gift of Rurik.
It was for this reason that Rurik racked his brains. Twenty at the beginning of the letter A, twenty at the beginning of B, and twenty at the beginning of C, until the servant at hand is named.
As for the meaning of the name, he has no time to control, after all, this name is a code name that he can easily recognize.
As for those refugee girls from the Ostala tribe, their status is free, and naturally they don't need things like nameplates.
But if they are blessed, they must fulfill their duty to defend the Ross tribe.
Yes, this is the obligation that Lurik asked Carlotta, the female leader of Ostara, to fulfill.
So all the actions became clear and clear in an instant.
Giving food to scrawny children is a kind of "raising sheep." Now, the flock will be organized to become a special combat force through training.
Rurik, when the earth became harder after the autumn rain ended, the plan to train a team of female soldiers hidden deep in the heart has finally reached the time to be implemented.
September 25th, the autumnal equinox day.
The sky on this day is still hazy. Lumia, who has become the key priest of the sacrificial activities, stayed in the long house of the priest last night. Now she is holding a antler helmet on her head and holding two wooden sticks to support her body. Next, carry out the work of the autumn equinox festival.
And Rurik, it was this morning when a large number of girls accepted the order to summon and gathered at the door of the leader's house.
A large group of girls who had breakfast, they gathered like a large group of chirping sparrows.
"They should all be here. Carlotta, you are their leader." Rurik at the dinner table teased slightly.
Carlotta swallowed hard: "Ruriek, I'm... a little nervous."
"Huh? You have to choose revenge, and the Ostara must also have a team."
"Could it be that women can do it too?!"
Carlotta tried to convince herself that the so-called female warrior on the battlefield is still a powerful role, but when she saw a brawny man in the Ross tribe with a big waist and a stubble face, she felt that her thoughts were a little naive. Also worried about whether Rurik's decision was reasonable.
Female warrior? How powerful can it be?
At this moment, Niya suddenly stretched out his right hand, covering Carlotta's head: "My child, listen to Rurik, you can do it."
The girl's heart was calmer. She knew that the Rus and the Ostara had a common enemy, and only the Rus would really help the Ostara.
She stood up and stood at the door under the guidance of Rurik. She saw only girls standing beside her in uniform dresses and completely uniform hairstyles.
Among them, the ten first-named maids were ordered to stand in the front row. They enjoyed the grace of the highest standard, and they all cast cordial eyes when they saw their masters.
Suddenly, Rurik drew his saber, and a metal hum stopped the children's noise instantly.
"Girls!" He yelled in a childish voice: "From today, I will train you! You will no longer be weak women. Me! Rurik! I will train you to be female warriors who can fight. , This is your destiny!
I am the person blessed by Odin, and the person blessed by Thor and Frey, and you are my Valkyrie.
Now, I give a name, you are my Valkyrie regiment. "
Ross people, they don't understand the legends of "Amazon women warriors", but they all know Valkyrie, even these children who were once in trouble know these legends.
In the northern legend, the details are varied, but the core parts are similar.
Valkyrie is not a Valkyrie, but a group of goddesses. It is a group of female warriors, the servants of the great god.
Rurik wanted to organize the tribal girls as much as possible to form a female soldier team in order to defend the tribe in times of crisis. However, due to the inherent prejudice of the tribe against women, I naturally have to give the troops composed of them a domineering name.
The Valkyrie Legion, now and in the future, is composed of Rose's women. Maybe its name is a little second, the men of the tribe definitely eat this set.
Some girls are aware of the resounding name of this name, and there are also many people. They are destined to be the sand and stone that is carried forward by the torrent of the times. They just want to obey their masters.
In short, the saint who gave daily food gave orders. He is such a beautiful, heroic, and kind boy!
The girls spontaneously called out to express their support and approval.
The way they cheered was all noticed by the Finn Jeflo, who was watching.
"Ruriek, is your appeal innate? I really followed the right person." Yevlo was secretly refreshed, he leaned on a dead tree, folded his arms, and watched the changes in the crowd.
Yevlo also knew that his next job was to teach boys who could walk an unusually neat pace, very practical and powerful solo skills. In short, "one chops ten but oneself does nothing." Lossless" Nordic martial arts.
Yevlo knew even more, and soon, he must also fully inform and teach Rurik about his fighting skills. The future leader of the Ross people must lead by example and become a strong fighter. He knows his duty as a "teacher".
Even if it is for the money and the daily good food and drink treatment, you must abide by your professional ethics.
What the instructor Jeflo saw was the response of the girls. He didn't think it was a good thing to train a group of little girls to be berserkers who can be slashed with shields. If she insists on participating in combat, why don't the female fighters manipulate other weapons?
For example, throwing a short spear, holding a bow and aiming.
Yevro vaguely remembered that when he was in his hometown, the women of the tribe had to take up sticks and stones to fight against the hostile tribe, and even the various Varanges who attacked.
In fact, he doesn't think that the Varangians are evil. Specifically, people outside of his tribe are uncertain.
They were captured as slaves, the Varangans were indeed guilty, but their own tribe would also take the initiative to attack others and take the population into slavery. Life is full of crises like this, and as a mercenary captain raised by Gould, Jeflo has become more and more aware of a businessman's thinking.
The so-called there is no clear good and bad, everything is for profit.
So now Yevlo really knows that what Rurik did was for the benefit of the Rus people. If the Ross tribe under this child is not strong enough, powerful enemies will come to the door. Even if the Ross people are already strong, powerful enemies are looking for them.
Rurik felt that the atmosphere had been rendered very well, and he suddenly handed the sword into Carlotta's hand.
"Girls! She is Carlotta! The female leader of the Ostara clan! Now I declare that she is the commander of the Valkyrie Legion!"
Here, Rurik arranged for Carlotta the name "Commod", which comes from Latin and originally meant the commander of the army.
As for the term "war chief" inherent in the Rus, let it be called history. Even the word "fohera", the chief leader, has become history.
Carlotta was a little bit stunned when facing the silent crowd. She looked at the steel sword in her hand again and felt that what she was holding was obviously a holy object.
She stiffly raised her right hand to restore the steel sword, and her expression was quite solemn.
"Sisters, I am you...your commander. The daughters of Ostara, and the children of Mellaren, it is the son of Odin, Rurik who rewarded me with this... this power. Now, Please follow me."
She was finished, but the scene was still quiet. Because everyone really doesn't know what to cheer about.
Rurik, who was staying next to Carlotta, noticed that the children with a vote were looking at him. At this moment, many adults onlookers also cast curious gazes.
They are all waiting for further orders from their real masters.
The steel sword was still held in Carlotta's hand, and the girl in the current situation was embarrassed.
Rurik stood with her hand outstretched, grabbed her right hand holding the sword, and raised it high.
"Valkyrie! Carlotta! Ulla!"
"Carota! Ulla!"
Rurik yelled three times, and then, a group of girls shouted Carlotta's name, but unfortunately they didn't understand the meaning of "Ula", so they didn't shout at all.
Only in this way, Carlotta has fallen into a trance. She lacks control, and while her nose is sour, her eyes are full of tears.
She felt that the Ostara tribe that she had destroyed was resurrected! Even though they are girls, they are all cheering their names!
In a daze, she suddenly remembered the words of the merchant Gould-even if Ostara had only the last woman left, she could revive the entire tribe, because you are a woman.
Is the "Valkyrie Legion" a force for revival?
In this way, a purely female military force of the Rus tribe is now established.
It still looks extremely absurd, and no one currently takes a group of seven or eight-year-old girls seriously, and there are only a handful of wise men who really feel that they are all potential stocks.
The team is established, and the next step is training.
The tribes who established this "women's organization" have been rioting for a while, and everyone is eager to have some interesting talks. No, the talks are coming.
Rurik and Carlota led more than one hundred and forty girls, rushing to the traditional training ground in the hills of the west, with the crowd watching and commenting on their feet. There, the boys have completed the assembly and began their daily fighting.
The boys lined up against the wall, and the wooden shields were intertwined. After that, everyone shouted slogans and collided with another team neatly and violently.
Training has become a dangerous game, and boys who prefer to fight hard like this game.
Because on the battlefield, there is a uniform line of impact, Rurik believes that if it is only an infantry war, there are not many enemies in this world that can carry such an offensive. There are actually only two essentials, discipline and strength.
Although ancient warfare was a one-stroke reduction of ten skills, discipline is always the key to victory.
An undisciplined army, even equipped with fairy weapons, is also a mob. This principle can be used in any era.
The training for the formation and the wall-to-wall collision that the boys received has continued throughout the warm season. Although they are only children, old guys who know how to do it all know that as long as these young boys give them another ten years, they must be extremely powerful. the power of! On this point, the old guys have reached a consensus in the popular chat.
What's more, these boys have also learned a lot of grappling techniques. As a result, the pattern of the roth wrestling game has changed! No longer relying on pure brute force so much, everyone began to ponder the techniques of hands and feet, and even in-depth study of tricks such as lying on the ground and locking the throat. Because these tricks on special occasions are terrifying skills to kill the enemy with bare hands.
The boys did not become audible commands to act uniformly in an instant.
Everything starts with cohort training.
The new girls are naturally no surprise.
Rurik is here, but today's training is different.
The boys don't need to train in line collision before the winter, but under the guidance of Jevlo, they learn the most brilliant solo skills. The so-called if the formation is too messy to recover, everyone will be reduced to zero. Can become a berserker among the enemies. They must learn the skill of "I can beat ten" from Evlo.
As for Rurik, how he had trained the first ten maids to line up, and now they are led by captains one by one, and Carlota is the commander of the legion. As for her sister Ella, this obviously weak girl~www.mtlnovel.com~, she will be a "little soldier" for the time being.
Rurik started to act, and now he was obviously giving military training to a group of elementary school students.
Just like last year's training for the tribal boys, it was very difficult at first, but in fact, it takes a week of intensive training. This group of girls must be able to move uniformly. If he was holding weapons such as wooden sticks at that time, it would have shocked the men of the tribe.
The most urgent thing for Rurik is to train this group of girls so that they can line up neatly, with her neat pace, and form on the beach to meet the triumphant fleet. Here is the "new trick" he made for his father Otto.
As for the ultimate goal, that is to control, to control the girls of the tribe, let the men of the tribe realize that their daughters will never be a burden, but treasures that will be cherished by the future leader.
After all, boys and girls will grow up and their parents will get old. The Ross tribe will be able to complete a very strong metabolism in the next twenty years.
The tribe doesn't need the old guys now. Rurik knows that the group of boys and girls who are chanting the same slogans and stepping in order under his control is the future of the tribe.
