Chapter 57

Because the big camp is the warmest and safest, people basically return one after another late at night. Perhaps those who have not returned have frozen to death in the snow? People just worry about them and ignore them, because wealth is in danger!

The messenger returned from skiing, and the three of them were so exhausted that they were almost directly paralyzed to the ground.

When the shocked stayers carried them to the bonfire, filled their mouths with some clean water, and stuffed some fresh roasted venison, after they recovered their spirits, they formally reported the good news of the deer discovery. , And the command of the leader.

The situation has completely changed, and the scattered hunting is over. All that is left is that all the staff are swarming to find the position of the leader and catch the deer in one swoop.

Hundreds of sled boards are galloping on the snow, and the sleds dragging behind them are already piled up.

The bag became heavy, but it did not dispel their enthusiasm for hunting.

The desire for wealth is indeed the biggest driving force that drives people to work hard.

Because the messenger claimed to have found the trail of a deer breeder, perhaps a battle in the ice and snow is inevitable.

It's as if skiers are going to a banquet. The ultimate goal of such a large group of vicious hungry wolves is the poor deer breeders and their hundreds of reindeer.

As Vikings, the Ross tribe never thinks that their actions are sinful.

The deer breeders also did not notice the danger approaching, because they never felt that in their winter pasture location, they had to be alert to anything other than hungry wolves that would actively attack the weak bodies of the reindeer.

A scrambled gallop took place, and even such a mighty army took two full days to connect with the long-awaited Otto.

A large group of people hid in a small pine forest. They actually arrived late at night. After a short sleep, when the short day time entered halfway, Otto gathered everyone who had arrived.

He made everyone show off his hunting results over the past few days, and he couldn't help but cheer.

He wandered in the crowd, playing with the furry white ferrets pinned to someone's waist from time to time, and praised him even more: "It's so wonderful, you have all gained in a few days. I see some people have gained a lot. Rich, I'm afraid I can sell a gold coin with these furs."

The leader is joking, and some people really cluck.

"Don't laugh any more, now there is a huge opportunity in front of you. Come with me now!" He waved a big hand, drew everyone behind, and the dark crowd gathered to the edge of the woods.

The world is still sunny, and the extreme clear air in Northern Europe makes visibility extremely good.

Many people, they have only seen small deer herd grazing grass in twos and threes, when have they ever seen a herd of deer moving like a cloud.

On the snowy ground, the unidentified objects made up of deer are too garish. Are they not walking treasures?

Everyone is very happy, because the leader's correct guidance gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy the huge herd. All that remains is to defeat the owner of the deer and become a new one by himself.

A pair of expectant eyes looked at Otto. Everyone hoped for a good countermeasure and a wonderful plan to prevent a deer from escaping.

Under Otto's guidance, people hid one after another. After counting the number of people, Otto determined that there were 150 people gathered here.

How about fifty people? They didn't lose contact, nor did they read it with the big brother, nor did they leave early.

"What's the matter? The number of people is much smaller?" Otto felt a little upset.

Someone yelled at the right time: "There is a group of cowards hiding in our big camp. Chief, you don't have to worry about them! It doesn't matter if they don't come, we will divide the treasure."

Otto nodded, it's a good idea.

"Okay!" He yelled, "It's still an old tradition. As a leader, I get half of it! Don't question anything, because I have been guided by Odin. Only then can I successfully lead you to find deer breeders and giants. The herd of deer. Odin has given us enlightenment, including guidance on how to fight. Now, you listen to me unconditionally."

"Yes!" Everyone completely agreed with the leader's words without thinking about it.

Otto's heart is also dark and cool. He has been observing for a long time, and from his own experience, he always feels that there are more than 200 deer in the herd, or more. After going through a battle that was sure to win, I reasonablely obtained dozens of domesticated reindeer, and then connected them with each other with ropes, and took them all home and sold them again. I made a lot of money again.

That's what he thought at first, but soon a thought flashed through his mind, and he wondered if he needed to change his routine.

Because, relying on your own ability, don't expect to bring too many deer back.

Otto himself has no experience in raising deer, just sitting on fifty deer, how to take it back obediently.

After all, it's not just yourself, but all the subordinates. Everyone needs the help of a commissioner, so the deer must be required to live.

But those deer breeders will never surrender obediently. They are likely to be as difficult to surrender as those Danes. As long as there is a fight, it will be the result of life and death.

Is it necessary to eliminate all the deer breeders? !

is the ancient legend I got from the priest Veria. When the ancestors occupied Fort Rose, Veria emphasized the word "expulsion". Of course the fight took place, and the battle axe dripped blood as a result, but the ancestors did not eliminate all the deer breeders.

After some thinking, Otto finally changed his mind.

When everyone has made basic preparations, for example, many people put on their own chain mail assaults, the buckler is also tied to their left arm, and the daggers, sabers, and battle axes on the waist are ready. Some people even endured the cold abruptly and put on cold helmets.

All those who bring bows and arrows also buckle the bowstring to the tip of the bow (don't wind it if you don't use it).

Such preparations made their image seem like a snow hunter, and it was almost a land battle with the Danes.

They have already reported their combat effectiveness, and they also imagined that the deer breeders are extremely good warriors. Although everyone has family members, this does not affect their worries about future battles.

It is a great honor to be able to fight in the night under Aurora's glow, and if you die, I am afraid that the soul will ascend to Asgard on the spot.

Of course, it is better not to die or be injured.

Otto was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, and he gathered everyone together and solemnly explained his latest ideas.

"Brothers, you are ready to fight, which is good. Now I have new ideas, we need as many deer breeders as possible to live."

The whole body was in an uproar at this remark.

It is strange that they are not in an uproar, because everyone's psychological preparation is to set the deer breeder as a "powerful enemy". Many people are ready to fight to death, but the leader wants everyone to catch alive?

Many people questioned on the spot, especially his closest subordinates, the doubts were the strongest.

"Ah! My brothers, we have to need some deer breeders to drive our prey back. Besides, those deer breeders are definitely not just men. Are you going to deal with women?"

Everyone did not think of this, they had to think about the leader's opinion.

If the parade Valkyrie sees a woman attacked by a mortal on the ground, she will be despised by the Valkyrie no matter how brave it is.

"If there are women and children there, we must let these people go. Attacking them will not be approved by God. I don't think everyone will agree that such an attacker is a brave guy. Besides, don't you want it? Some servants?"

Servant? The leader's words said to everyone's heart. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In the current era, population is productivity! So like the Danes and the Norwegians, they began to attack Britain and took a lot of people, just to gain more productivity in the icy and snowy homeland, in order to create more wealth. Of course, this enrichment of wealth basically comes from the enslavement and squeeze of foreign servants, and servants are basically a tool.

Although the Rus tribe is on the fringe of Viking society, they also fully agree with this culture in essence, but it is difficult for them to obtain that kind of all-weather slaves through direct plunder, but they also get the surrender and surrender of the residents of Novgorod far away. Tribute.

Actually, compared to plundering outsiders to be slaves, the Rus' behavior, like the feudal prince's approach to Novgorod to collect taxes, is more efficient and more civilized in a sense.

But if there is a chance to get a servant, it's okay to give it a try.

More than one hundred people quickly unified their opinions, and they just held a small meeting to reach a consensus.

In other words, this operation is a special hunt, and the prey is not only the entire deer herd, but also all the deer breeders.

The principle is very simple: except for the men who dare to resist, everyone else is let go, and then tied with a rope. As for the men who threw their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, this kind of person has lost the value of fighting a battle. This kind of person is a natural servant. Whether to kill or let it go depends on the situation at the time. Whatever you do.

The opinions have been unified, and all that is left is to take action.

How to hunt? The method is very simple. More than one hundred people split up, like a real hunting, surround the woods where the deer breeders and deer herds are hidden, comb them down and finally complete the encirclement.

There is only one big principle, try to be alive.
