, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
All the reindeer sleighs are covered with tents, and all passengers are dressed in furry and warmed by the group. The cold wind sweeping across the ice cannot interfere with people's progress. If there is, it can only be a snowstorm.
As soon as Rurik was walking on the route straight to Fort Elon, this was a substantial detour, which he did deliberately considering the supply issue.
The sled team lined up in double columns, and all the Yufu stared at the flag poles of Rurik's car. The flags fluttered so that everyone would not be left behind.
Reindeer pulls people and goods, even if they have strong power, they cannot continue to run wildly.
These animals with amazing endurance were trained to be very docile. They kept their walking speed, making the whole team basically maintained at a slow speed of about 6km/h.
The speed is really slow, and the reindeer sleigh is better than it can walk at a constant speed throughout the day.
In the first day, the sled team ran for about 50 kilometers.
The team spent the night in a pine forest on the icy seashore, doing sleds throughout the day, and people walked out of the airtight canopy. Even if the outdoor air was cold, it was refreshing and beautiful.
The Tavastia women were flexing their muscles and bones, twisting their stiff waist.
Suddenly, some big trees collapsed under the action of a double saw.
They were taken aback.
After a while, Jeflo, carrying an axe, hurried over and yelled in Old Finnish: "Women, build your own shack, and we will stay here for the night. Don't think about running away, bears and wolves will kill you."
Run away? If we could escape, everyone would have escaped.
By now, these Tavastia women have completely accepted their sad fate. Although it is sad, there is still hope in life.
Can immigrants settle down in a distant place? These young women have no right to choose their own marriage in their hometown. What kind of man to marry can only be resigned to his fate, but his own man can provide wheat every day, that is a good person. If there is such a good day, they will take up weapons to maintain.
Many women have axes in their hands, and Rurik is not worried that they will attack their own people. The axe is a tool for processing a shack, and it is also a thing to protect yourself when encountering a beast. This is their personal belongings, and they were bought in Roseburg with their own labor remuneration.
The snow dug a hole and covered it with a burlap. The snow pit is framed with thick branches, and the branches of European red pine with dense and long pine needles are further built, and finally the roof of the shed is covered with snow.
A small nest in a warm snowy field is just like that, it can be used to sleep peacefully, and the inside is not very cold.
The Ross people took out the treasured fedrum powder, and then used the bow drill to drill the wood against the dry wooden block they prepared to make fire.
As soon as the flames are ignited, it gradually turns into a bonfire.
The oil-rich pine trees taken from the local area were chopped and smashed to pieces by the capable mercenaries of Rurik. The intense smoke concealed the flames, and as the moisture was dried up, the first bonfire became a soaring fire!
Soon, by the pine forest, fifty stalls of bonfires lit up the earth under the night, and the world was no longer cold. People hurry up to eat dry food and then go to sleep in the shack.
Only Rurik and Nolan. The sled owned by the two of them is a warm house in itself...
The camp is becoming more sophisticated, with the sound of pipa from the campfire, the snoring of the strong men, and the faint noise of hundreds of reindeer coming from outside the house sleigh from time to time.
When people were eating dry food, the reindeer were also eating oats. They could not eat too much wheat and their own hay, so the accompanying deer breeders drove the deer that had completely removed their bridles to graze on the spot for a while.
Now, the hours of day and night are almost the same length. After all, it is a large team of hundreds of people. Rurik dare not go forward at night, because he is afraid that the sled will go away.
In the house sleigh, Rurik lay on his back with his hands pillowed, and Noren couldn't help but leaned forward.
"This is the two of us... our first night alone in the snowy field." She hesitated.
"how is it?"
"I... saw the sunset on the frozen sea. The ice has become the color of the sunset. And the moonlight tonight is so beautiful."
"The moonlight is so beautiful?" Rurik curled his lips slightly and smiled for a moment. "You are very subtle, very unlike you. I know you are very happy. The next two months will be you and me alone."
"Yes, other sisters will envy me. I'm still thinking about when I can be a mother."
"You and I have agreed on this. At least three years later. Don't think about it this year, but think about how to call on those who are determined to stay behind to support your rule when you return to your hometown."
"My rule." Nolan laughed altogether. "Isn't your rule yet?"
"At least in name it is your rule."
"But you are my man. Rurik..." Nolan sat up, "I can't wait. I can't lose to the other sisters, and I can't let them look down on me."
However, during this night, nothing substantive happened between Rurik and Noren. Is this simply because Rurik showed extreme self-discipline for the long-term plan? Do not! It was simply Norn who used brute force, she was a standard Viking woman after all, and she forced Rurik to stop pretending.
Because of Nolen, she is really beautiful, and she sings beautifully...
But she felt very painful and unilaterally retreated. Simply Liurik let out a sigh of relief.
How could she not be anxious? The first few wives and concubines she saw of Rurik were either sitting on their mothers or gestating. She was also a dignified nobleman. If she could not be a mother early, it would be impossible not to be despised by them.
Of course, to put it more practically, how does Noren not know what virtues the old Balmerk family do? Want them to admit a female leader, wishful thinking.
The Balmerk in the mercenary is the attitude Noren said. This group of brothers don't think that she will be the leader of the left-behind people to convince the public. The brothers are eager for Noren to give birth to a boy, so that the brothers in his hometown will support it. This pretty boy.
A brave attempt ended in failure, but going against the glacier, this brave attempt must succeed.
The team spent three days. On the third evening after they set off, they encountered a cod-fishing man digging a hole on the ice, and they knew that Fort Elon was about to arrive.
The team had actually passed the estuary of the frozen Torna River. Everyone contacted each other and learned that this was the correct path, but the sled team was still advancing.
The arrival of the Lurik sled team was expected by the "Governor" Corvin Mezzasta of Elronburg, but they arrived quite suddenly.
The forest and snowfields at dusk were so magnificent, a young man dressed like a bear brought a few men up to the ice to greet him.
The boy had already waved to congratulate.
"It's Terravis." Rurik poked his head out and beckoned in response.
After a while, the entire team stopped, and such a spectacular manned sled team could not surprise him now.
"Taravis, don't come here unharmed?" Rurik said in greeting.
"I'm fine. Brother, you are finally here, and my father sent me to greet you."
When it was, Nolen also poked his head out: "Are you to Elronburg?"
A beautiful blond girl with her long hair poked out her head, and Telavis was surprised and disappointed when she saw her.
Because this woman is not her sister Seporava.
Rurik continued to stare at Telavis' face: "In that case, you come to lead the way. I will do the most crucial rest in Fort Elrond tonight and tomorrow."
Rurik turns to the city on the banks of the Ayron (Kemi) river, a tossing inevitably wastes three days.
This decision is necessary. In order to be foolproof, Rurik must get enough supplies here. What he asked for was not human food, but reindeer food!
Because the area around Fort Elon has been the purpose of raising deer since ancient times, when a functional city for mining, logging, and fishing appears in this area, the ability to raise livestock becomes extremely urgent.
Rurik was sure that he could easily get a large amount of hay bales to supplement food for the expedition's reindeer.
The sled team parked on the bank of the frozen river. The architectural scene here is so Pangbo!
Noren opened his eyes, clutching Rurik's arm, and asked what the huge equipment was placed on the shore.
"It can lift the felled giant tree and install it on a large sled."
"It really has such power?"
"Of course. This is my invention. Nolan, you are here for the first time in Elronburg, and there are so many things that will surprise you."
The beauty of Linhaixueyuan became boring as I watched too much, and when I heard something new, her nature was fully mentioned.
As for the Tavastia women, they stood dumbfounded under the towering snow-covered wooden wall. Because the erosion of Fort Elrond in the Arctic current is the first line, the city's wooden walls have been repaired and repaired and heightened, and finally become a majestic place.
In another area, the sound of ding, ding, dong, dong, ding, dong, dong, was clearly burning, and the nearby snow had faded to leave dry and hard ground, and the thick smoke continued.
Nolan is very curious, she can see that Fort Elon is much smaller than Fort Ross, but the inside is exquisite...
A group of people swept into the city and the people who were stationed came to watch.
Especially the local Corvins know that there will be a large group of Tavastias coming. No, the women of the Corvins cast snowballs on the spot, hitting the black-haired Tazu women desperately.
"Hey! Woman, what are you doing? Jeflo, disperse these snowball fights!" Rurik was startled and suddenly ordered angrily.
Yevlo gave a hum, and led the guys to pick up the buckler, and after a violent beating on the shield, they dispersed the group of Corvin women.
"What's going on?" Nolan cried out in confusion, "Ruriek, is this the interesting thing you said?"
"Bah! Is there any hatred between them? Damn it, maybe it's really hatred?" Rurik bared his teeth, his mind seemed to think of the reason.
Looking at the Tavastia women again, they were very puzzled by the sudden attack, but they were not cowards either. They picked up their own hand axes and threatened those snowball throwers.
Although the Kewen woman retreated, the verbal abuse from both sides continued one after another.
Unfortunately, the languages of the two parties are very similar, and the swear words are also lacking.
"Now, I understand." Rurik slapped his head, thinking that the group of Tavastia captives was really right to throw at Balmerk's friends.
It's entirely because, even if the two ethnic groups have lost a lot of males, even if they still have a group of women, the dispute continues.
Rurik was helpless, and it seemed that Elonburg did not welcome these Tavastias. Simply, these women were placed in an outdoor camp.
Finally, Rurik arrived at his residence in Elronburg.
The house is not big, it is quite warm and has been properly cleaned. For example, the polar bear head hanging on the wall is free of dust.
For what happened before, Mechasta from Corvin seemed apologetic.
A big salmon that knows how to be tough was thawed, and grilled in a special iron cage. The fragrant grilled fish was sent to the palace.
"My lord, it is my responsibility to have an attack." Mezzasta, who served the fish personally, respected him.
Rurik pursed his mouth to cover his Harazi, and said: "Put away your self-blame, don't think I don't know. The hatred of you Corvins and Tavastias has existed in ancient times, but what you do today What a coward."
"No. I didn't instruct them. My people were just too angry at the thought of the past." He defended.
"Absurd. You and Kaihas have both reconciled. Didn't your gray squirrel tribe and salmon lord tribe beat your head?"
"That... that's just a fight between brothers. The Tavastias have been driving us out for our lives. To be honest..." Mezzasta lowered his head: "I'm so happy to see them in trouble. ."
"Absurd! But... you have your own reasons." Rurik didn't want to scold anything. It's like the serious Rus people can't reconcile with the Danish forces. In fact, no one knows when the contradiction between the two parties will occur. of.
Rurik shook his head again: "I remember arranging some female prisoners for you."
"The woman from Tavastia in my hand is now my slave."
"Really? I thought they would be your men's wives." Rurik looked at Mezzasta and didn't want to talk any more, and said: "I gave you the right to dispose of it. I don't care what you want. But today I am very angry."
Looking at Mezzasta again, he made a single heart: "Wish to be punished."
"Oh. Your layout is smaller...Let's provide me with a batch of hay and a batch of dried fish. Don't worry, the Tavastian woman you hate is originally from Balmerk. I'll stay here for a day. You will restrain your own people tomorrow and there will be another attack..."
"Yes. I am responsible for something wrong."
"Then leave. Do what I tell you to do, and I will enjoy it later."
Tavastia has collapsed, and the survivors are divided among the victors. Isn't that enough? Rurik really didn't know how many things Kewen had gone through before, maybe it was a very tragic thing.
Rurik did know that the Tavastia forces were already quite powerful, and they were able to assemble an army of four to five thousand people in a short time!
It is a pity that they are just simple barbarians, with courage, but no brains to fight. This group of people desperately expands, and it can be regarded as a typical example of a warlike and a decline.
Rurik and Noren were soaked in large wooden barrels, and it was very comfortable to be submerged in hot water.
Nolenhan has this kind of enjoyment, but she has to experience a Finnish sauna in a steam house.
"Do you like Elronburg?" Rurik asked suddenly, cheering Nolen, who had been steamed a little faintly.
"Really...excellent. The houses here are scattered and the roads are vertical. There is also the machine that can carry big trees, and..."
She enumerated a lot, and Rurik was happy to hear it.
But she still mentioned the attack in the evening.
"This...why is it? It's pure hatred?" she asked.
"It's hatred."
"The Tavastias are defeated, and the hatred is over."
"No. It was Rose who defeated the enemy. The honor of victory does not belong to the Corvin. You should know that when necessary, women are also fighters. Your biological father taught you."
"I understand. But I should never be on the battlefield." When it comes to war, Nolan naturally has lingering fears.
"War~www.mtlnovel.com~ is inevitable in this era." Rurik sighed slightly, "The militant Tavastia was defeated by the more militant us. But Karelia is still the best in the East. , Their existence is like a big rock hanging from their heads."
"We will win easily." Nolan encouraged.
"Yes, I dare not neglect the war alone. It would be best if you can recruit 500 warriors from your hometown. As for our enemies, haha..."
"why are you laughing?"
"I hope the Karelians are as brave as the Tavastians. You know, sometimes bravery is reckless, so that our army can complete the killing well!"
Rurik's words were already very serious, and his tone was full of murderousness. Noren stood up with a tremor and wanted to leave. Suddenly, there was another dizziness, and he fell into Rurik's arms.
"I am dizzy."
"This is the sauna, you are indeed dizzy. Rest and sleep in tomorrow. In the future, we have nearly fifteen days to travel, so we won't be able to have such enjoyment."
