Chapter 578: Peace under the Rus of Tavastalo
Just like the most standard Vikings, Viking invasions are always so sudden that all those who are attacked are unpredictable in peaceful days.
For the Tavastias, who would have thought that the hinterland of their homeland would be easily attacked by others, as if a knife pierced the weakness of a deer.
The Ross people are here, and they are as happy as they are attending a wedding.
Hundreds of people struggled to paddle, and the towering bow of the dragon-head warship was so hideous, and its unstoppable momentum severely threatened the armed forces that had just gathered on the shore.
Logically speaking, this is clearly the sacrificial center of Tavastia. The great temple was built here. Thousands of people settled nearby. The defense forces should have been strictly controlled. However, almost all the males went to fight in the north, and the sacrificial center had been prepared for emptiness.
Only a hundred warriors in animal skins clenched short spears or bows tremblingly.
The men who stayed behind in Tavastia were either too old or too young. They had never seen a large number of large boats covering the slender lake. Watching the beached boats instinctively took precautions, and then took the lead in launching an attack.
They threw arrows into the air, and clusters of inferior bone arrows fell from the sky, and the shields that pierced the Ruths to cover their bodies were bounced off one after another.
The Ross people landed on the beach with a wooden shield, then dragged their heavy body to jump off the boat, carrying an axe and a sword, and immediately launched an attack.
The fighters with the crossbow shot accurately, immediately killing those enemies who threw arrows, and at the same time quickly dismantled the enemy's offensive.
The woman ran around with the child in her arms, and the Tavastia fighters who were suddenly beset by the lander's offensive also began to flee. The priestesses, dressed in animal skins and studded with feathers, tried their best to direct the fleeing people to flee into the mountain fort in the forest, and they will stay, even if they don't have the power to bind the chicken, they must contact the hall of the sacrificial center. Coexist and die.
Unfortunately, it is too late.
First, more than 300 Russian landers opened the situation, and the follow-up troops swept the village like a mudslide.
According to the surrender, Rurik learned that the name of the large lakeside village he saw was probably called "Tavastalu". The nouns were simple and crude, which meant "the dwelling place of the gods", which fits the status of the center of worship.
Two thousand Russian soldiers were divided into three routes, and the situation was quickly opened when they landed.
They entered the village to arrest people everywhere, brutally violent against the women they saw, and then arrested them one after another.
They broke into the thatched houses with sharp blades, and any rebels were killed.
For a time, Tavastalu was filled with savage laughter from rough men, howls from a large number of women, and screams from children.
The entire sacrificial center has been occupied by the Ross people, and all those who had not had time to escape have been arrested~www.mtlnovel.com~ Get cash, follow vx public. Public book friends base camp~www.mtlnovel.com~ You can also get cash!
The landing Arik holds two swords. He has his own principles. Seeing that the actions of his subordinates have become more and more chaotic, he shouted hoarsely: "Idiots, all give me restraint. Capture all the women, and wait until the evening to have your joy. !"
Arik is not a good person. Seeing that the shouting is ineffective, he hurriedly kicked down a few violent men and ordered them to lift their woolen trousers and take the prisoners away.
The Rus were madly grabbing people, and the open space next to the wooden house in the priest's center became the best gathering place for prisoners.
Most of the more than 100 fighters who initially fought back have been killed, and the living men are also dejected.
Heliger from Mellaren led his fellows to capture the prisoners everywhere, and soon their eyes were fixed on the dozen or so priestesses who seemed to be trembling to defend the altar.
A group of Russ soldiers who exuded a strong murderous aura stared at them. They were just wearing Russ clothes, and their souls belonged to the Mellaren.
A soldier held a prisoner of war: "Captain Qi, they are all priestesses, they all look young. They..."
"Rush up! Brothers, whoever gets it will go!" Heliger knew what the talking brother was emphasizing. The so-called disadvantage to the priest might be very bad.
How is that? In the Mellaren tribe, the priests originally served the big families. Besides, the priestess of Mellaren is also a subsidiary of male priests and patriarchs of large families. How can we talk about sacredness?
Without exception, the wood carvings of the gods of Tavastia were overthrown, and the priestesses serving the gods became the playthings of the Russian army.
Serious chaos broke out here, and the only comfort in the endless barbarism was that the Ruth army did not kill. This is not only because of Rurik's order, but also because people who believe in Odin mainly believe that if they kill a woman who is unable to resist, Odin and the Valkyrie in the cosmopolitan battle that day can only spit sputum.
There is an end to the chaos.
The Mercury was propelled by a propeller, slowly approaching the lake, and Rurik landed steadily in a small boat.
With his landing, the chaos ended quickly.
Accompanied by capable guards, Rurik arrogantly climbed onto the slightly wet shore of the lake, and then entered the village full of thatched sheds. He walked quickly into the crowded gathering place.
In an instant, an astonishingly simple scene deeply stimulated his eyeballs.
"Wow! What is going on? Is Tavastia still a daughter country? Men?"
Rurik murmured to himself, and then ranted a few words in a language that the other party absolutely understood: "Noble man! Come out! Climb in front of me!"
After a while, there is really an old woman with disheveled hair and owl feathers, crawling out of the pile of dejected prisoners sitting on the ground like a pig or dog.
And Arik was carrying his sword, kicking his legs, urging the woman to hurry up.
Although the conqueror should behave so savagely, his cousin's behavior made Rurik feel a little uncomfortable.
However, Kejas and Mezzasta from Corvin were even more crazy. They were still holding the short spear with the head of Guizhou. They suddenly stood behind Rurik and deliberately showed these two heads.
Looking at the crawling old woman again, she suddenly sat on the ground, and then pointed at the two to reveal howling and crying, and she fainted.
"What's the matter?" Rurik was taken aback.
Arik walked quickly with a smile, patted his brother on the shoulder, Jian Feng pointed directly at the faint woman: "I have already figured it out, this woman is the most distinguished person in this village."
"The most noble one." Rurik shook his head casually, "the most noble one's head is stuck here."
"Yes, but this woman is their high priest, at least for now."
"Okay." Rurik nodded. "It is estimated that she was shocked. A pot of water was poured on the spot to wake her up. After waking up, we will interrogate her. By the way, can you find other nobles? "
"No more."
"No. Look at the frustrated faces of this large group of women, the brothers must have acted assault. The other nobles are probably killed by the brothers."
"This is really gone." Arik sighed helplessly. "Perhaps, we have killed all their men on the battlefield, and now there are a large group of hopeless women left in their hinterland. It just happened to be brought back to our hometown for our brothers to enjoy."
"Really? That's fine. I still ask those survivors about this matter." Rurik casually gave the order, and the five surrendered village leaders were shoved to Rurik's side tremblingly.
The five people's vague explanations made the first-hand news that Arik and Heliger will get very authentic.
Even Terho, a surrendered Corvin, pointed to a large thatched house not far away that looked like a huge "yurt" in Rurik: "Master Duke, we were there by Watkad and others. Summon. There is their council center, and now you are the new owner of that mansion."
Congress Center? Rurik looked up and shook his head unconsciously.
"It's really crude."
Looking around, Rurik consciously captured a primitive tribe at all. Maybe he shouldn't return too much hope if he wants to get some oil and water here.
Having said that, the biggest "oil and water" don't just sit here.
The women and children of Tavastia, the women are quite young at first glance, and will be taken home as safely as possible. This matter should be on the agenda.
The battle is over, and the Vikings need to enjoy their spoils immediately after the war.
No, almost every strong Ross, Balmerk, and Mellaren warrior got a Tavastian woman. The woman here looks exactly the same as the Kewen woman, and the language spoken is very similar.
Their desperate struggle was in vain. The Vikings enjoyed their spoils and vented the pressure of these days.
At night, the ritual center of the Tavastia was brightly lit, the wood carvings of the gods had been overthrown, and the Russian army began to worship Odin, their common belief!
What is a sacrifice? Of course it is a reindeer.
The fact is that this is so exciting. During the looting, the army has found a large number of deer pens in the forest and directly captured thousands of reindeer.
The total number of deer has not been counted, and the news that Rurik has learned is that there are "extremely large numbers of reindeer".
Think about it, too, in the decisive battle outside the old gray squirrel hill fort, the enemies killed were almost all wearing deerskin leather clothes.
The number of wild reindeer in this area is running out. It's already true that the people who have entered the enemy's hinterland are the most powerful deer breeders in Tavastia!
If you think about it carefully, the geographical climate of the Tavastias is not suitable for growing wheat. They can have a large population, and their lives must be based on animal husbandry and fishing, and they have done well enough.
Rurik simply played the role of a priest himself, anyway he was already very experienced in such things. Since there were a lot of reindeer, he personally killed ten deer and ate them with deer blood priest Odin and venison.
The Russian army captured not only reindeer, but also a batch of cattle, even some ponies, and even two-wheeled carts.
The buildings of the Tavastias are simple and crude, but they still have a certain level of science and technology after careful inspection. In this era, the small world of Europe as a whole, the Tavastias are not backward.
This night, the Russ army ate nearly a hundred reindeer and finally got a chance to feast on them. Everyone was gnawing desperately.
The next day, the Russian army continued their search.
This systemic search does not matter. Rurik originally lacked expectations for a huge fortune. Unexpectedly, they found a large number of deerskin, cowhide and squirrel skins, and even a batch of patterned linen in the opponent's warehouse.
The deer have also gone through some statistics, and even some hidden deer pens hiding in the woods have also been discovered.
The owner of the deer either ran away with limited softness or was killed. The total number of deer reached 11,000 and became the spoils of the Russian army!
How does this count? In order to prevent their village from being affected by the disaster, the five survivors tried their best to flatter.
Only by raising the calves and fattening them can you get a steady stream of cows. With this attitude, Rurik made an agreement with the five people.
"The five of you can go back now. When you come back, you will each bring three hundred deer, ten thousand squirrel skins, and fifty young women. The Russian army will swear to the gods, promise you protection, and in the future in Tavasti The power of Asia."
The five people have already seen the powerful military strength of the Rus, not only the terrifying ability to fight on the battlefield, but also that they can easily assemble a new large fleet and can kill the inland sacrificial center in a short time. If they are willing, they can rush over anytime and anywhere. As for relying on the hill for self-defense? forget it! The reinforced mountain fort was quickly breached by the Rus.
Being ruled by the Rus people may not only be negative. Tavastia itself is an alliance. The alliance has been facing military threats from the Karelians. The five people agree with the dead Watkad village as the "boss", just hope The mighty Watkad took everyone to safety. Whoever can bring safety is the "boss." If you can pay a batch of tributes, you can get safety. This is acceptable.
Isn't it? The reason for the Ross army's ups and downs was not for the surrendered scientific people to vent their anger!
It is nothing to pay for the skins of live deer and squirrel, but to send fifty girls and young women is regarded as a surrender certificate.
The five people were released, and even though Arik, Heligol, and Bijuni felt wrong, Rurik was determined to do so.
The Rus occupy Tavastalu, and the conquered people "enjoy" the peace under the Rus.
In a sense, the Tavastia's sacrificial center was restored to peace, and the Ross army had achieved complete occupation. They immediately rowed a boat on the lake, and then took their weapons into the forest to hunt, just like the original people living here. Tavastia men.
Women have a new man of their own, and the facts cannot be changed whether they want it or not.
Even Arik proposed to bring one or two beautiful women to the younger brother Rlik to enjoy, but Rlik bluntly refused.
However, the minds of tomorrow under his command, such as Fisk, Kanuf, and Telavis from Corvin, these teenagers, on his order, immediately chose a woman to make the relationship solid, but this woman is also recognized as legal. One of the wives.
In today's barbaric era, because women are a strategic resource, in the final analysis, men are the greatest strategic resource. The strong foundation of the Principality of Ross is the rapid population explosion, and the basis of this strategy lies in the number of females in the Principality. Rurik has been unable to take care of so much. He just publicly promoted that he has as many as seventeen wives and concubines. The men of the principality should follow suit and give birth to as many children as possible, so that from now on, only the Russian army beats others, himself. Will not be hurt.
In this way, Rurik intends to transfer at least two thousand captured women, and even a group of young children. Even a group of women will eventually travel all the way across the ocean by boat and be transported to Narvik in Norway to become the women of the local Balmerks.
The conqueror enjoyed the peace after the conquest, but the restored priestess explained such a thing.
It turned out that a man named Nuori had been taking hundreds of people on the eastern border between Tavastia and Karelia, in case of a sudden attack by the Karelian tribe.
Karelian? It's just a group of native chickens.
Rurik had known the existence of this race for a long time, and they were a dangerous enemy in the mouth of the Tavastians, and they were nothing in the eyes of Rurik.
The priestess wanted to survive and prayed for the Ruth conquerors to treat everyone kindly. Compared to those unruly men, this noble woman had completely given up because of the fact that she was defeated.
She revealed the most real situation. The so-called Tavastia males were wiped out. The remaining men were not only unable to resist the Russian conquerors, but also almost lost their military strength against the Karelians~www.mtlnovel.com ~ This priestess who has suffered physical humiliation bears heavy burdens and knows the current affairs. She claims that since the Ruths are to be conquerors, this is like raising a deer. She must treat the whole deer herd well if she wants to get a steady stream of supplies. The Roths must at least give all Tavastia's vassals a chance to live and pay tribute, but the Roths also need to take on the job of helping Tavastia against their enemies.
"This priestess is really extraordinary! She is wiser than the male leader!"
Rurik secretly sighed, and simply signaled that this woman could immediately restore their altar.
In just four days, the five leaders who had left returned with their tribute. Older men drove away deer, carried bundles of squirrel skins, and even a group of women with a dull look.
This is not over yet. A group of captives with severed hands were released back to their hometowns to report on the orders of the Conquerors of Rose. At this point in time, a group of envoys arrived at the occupied sacrificial center tremblingly, intending to have a good talk with the conquerors. The question of surrender.
They proved their willingness to accept this cruel reality and surrender with their actions. Then the problem came again, that Nuori who had the right to succeed the slain Warkard's seat of the Alliance Warchief and the hundreds of last towers Where is the Vastia Warrior? Obviously there have been released prisoners with severed hands to pass the news on the so-called "Eastern Border". Could it be that the messenger was besieged by wolves or eaten by bears on his way? Or is it that the news has been delivered that the man named Nuoli decided to fight to the death?
Rurik decided to wait for some more days, and now, he is the real king of Tavastia, and this place has become a "Viking city."
