"The Rise of Rurik (!
The lake breeze blows out the morning mist, and the sun shines on the bear altar after the war.
This important Karelian ritual center and trading bazaar quickly disintegrated under the storm of a partial division of the Russian army. After the prosperity disappeared, only a corpse was left. There were also centuries of violent Russian warriors busy searching for property.
Arik got off the big boat and floated to the shore. The Vips who participated in the battle also entered the bear altar as an attacker for the first time.
Unlike the Russ army, the Vips servants looked at the devastated tent group. They had no joy of victory, but only fear.
When the lake fogs up, they attack. The lake mist cleared and they plundered.
In a very short period of time, this place once regarded as inviolable by the Vips was destroyed.
Some Ross soldiers set fire in venting their anger, holding a ready-made fire source to light the leather tent and let it burn.
There are also female prisoners who have been spared for the time being. The Ross people are recklessly happy, but they still have an axe afterwards.
Arik followed a terrifying pace aggressively. He condoned the violent subordinates, and even liked to see them destroying wildly.
He motioned to Telavis: "Let the Vips do it."
"Just put the stakes on the shore? Look here, there are corpses everywhere."
"Isn't it better? Other Karelians will see this, and we will deeply shock their nobles."
Arik felt that his decision was very reliable, and the Vips servants did the same.
The stakes were erected, and the heads of the tribute messengers were inserted above them. Their complexion was already gray, and the necks were all stained with black blood. The hideous terror has always made the Vips servants jealous, but this The group of Ross veterans is no surprise.
Seeing that they had finished their work, Arik shook his neck and then ordered Telavis: "Let's go. Follow me and see what treasure the brothers find."
What interesting things can you find in tents and wooden sheds?
Some useful wooden utensils, such as combs, small boxes, and wooden bowls, were put into burlap pockets by the Ross people, and some interesting bones and leathers were also hidden. Looting is an opportunity to make a fortune. Arik has always been generous. He doesn't even care about the embezzlement of gold and silver by his brothers. As for the discovery of a large amount of materials, this should not be divided by everyone, but handed over to the Duke.
He carried two swords and walked into the densest area of warriors. There was also the tallest wooden shed. Compared with the large number of small cone-shaped tents, the buildings here were obviously permanent. It just so happened that the Vips servant claimed that this was the bear altar itself.
The Karelians really adore bears. Looking at the group of low soldiers in bear skins that fell dead on the ground fully proves this point.
The Ruth Army berserkers with the heaviest scale armor, they are the madmen who break the formation, and they are also the strongest. Their iron helmets were not only reinforced and increased inter-face chain armor, but also stared at the upper jaw of the bear on their heads, using the chest and upper jaw with fangs as a characteristic sun hat.
The Berserkers of the Russ Army are the real "bear men." These Karelian bearskins, who are said to be guards of the altar, are all fakes.
More than a dozen older priests died, and the young priests had their heads beheaded. There are as many as three hundred dead bodies here, and what Arik can determine is that the enemy is not killed by the neck, and they still end up like this with their dedication and desperate resistance.
The two flag captains walked up with a smile, each reporting their own results, and presented the gem necklace they grabbed.
Arik squinted, "That's it? What else did you find."
"Boss, what a nice necklace, don't you want?" one person asked in surprise.
"Give it to me? Forget it. You keep it for yourself. Tell me what else to find."
Another said: "We also found the cellar where they placed the leather. There are a lot of squirrel skins in it! It's amazing."
Squirrel skin? When Arik heard this word, the first thing he thought of was that it was a currency.
"Haha, it seems that we also found their money vault. Go! Let's check it out..."
The battlefield has returned to calm, and the Karelian fishermen only avoided them because they were not important. They saw the violent and terror of the attackers, and knew that their homes were completely destroyed. All the canoes escaped. They wanted to flee to the nearest settlement, so they rowed all the way east, at least first to the village of the Rudi people on the east bank of the lake where the Karelians were their leaders, and told them about the foreign army. Destroyed the bear altar, rested and looked for the chief's "big tent" to tell all the Karelian nobles that the disaster had come.
It's just that those who successfully escaped from the bear altar have rushed on the way to report the news, waiting for them is another difficult trek.
At noon, a staggering number of reindeer were driven to the bear altar full of corpses. Most of the tents were either burning or smashed.
Arik inspected the cold cellars and asked the brothers to take out the leathers of squirrels, ferrets, lynxes, forest cats, and foxes inside, and hurriedly transport them to the big ship with twine ropes.
No one can rob these leather treasures, they will be dedicated to Rurik, Duke of Ross.
In addition, anything that anyone grabs is their own!
The opportunity of looting was given to everyone, including the Vips servants, and they legally joined the search for treasure.
Except for a few precious stones and a batch of cherished small animal leathers, I am afraid that the most valuable seizures here are those deer.
The sheer number of the deer stunned Arik.
As many as forty reindeer were killed, the fresh leather was peeled off, and the internal organs were thrown directly into the lake very violently, except for the nutritious and delicious deer liver.
A large bonfire appeared by the lake, and the Ross people made roasted whole deer extravagantly.
Everyone ate meat madly. Even the Vips people were fortunate enough to hug the half-cooked deer legs to eat. The Ross people also gifted some salt. The delicious taste moved many people to cry.
People were immersed in the joy of victory. When they set off, no one would have expected such a great harvest from this armed investigation, let alone that the Karelians, who were so powerful by the Suomi people, were so weak.
Eating barbecue around the campfire, Telavis asked Arik a soul question: "How do we deal with so many deer? Take them all away?"
"Of course. Bring the deer back, we will be the heroes of all Ross. These deer will also make our lives much easier in the future."
"But there are too many deer, you...can't put them all on the boat."
"Haha, then eat them all." Arik's remark was a joke, and he laughed after he said it.
But Telavis' question is very critical. The Ross Squadron does not have enough transport ships, but this is not a problem.
Arik thought for a while: "You still have to take all the deer back as much as possible, and a part of the deer can be used as a reward."
"Who is the reward?"
"For the Vips."
"You?" Telavis was taken aback: "I doubt that you are so generous."
"Boy, are you taunting me?" Arik burst into anger with a smile.
"I...I dare not."
"Forgive you for not dare. But the Vips are still involved in the battle. They are servants and we have to give some rewards. By the way, how many deer are you suitable for?"
"It's up to me to decide? If they come to twenty people, give them two hundred heads or more. In my opinion, we are very good at raising deer. It's okay to give them more. So that we can receive more in the future. Tribute."
This is actually a good way. However, Arik cast a skeptical look. He didn't say it, but in his heart he was muttering that this kid was speaking for the servant.
"Just give them two hundred heads, I decided. As for more deer... we will stop armed reconnaissance now. This is the landing point for the Ross army, and our army will be assembled here."
"Ah! Are you going back to bring in a transport ship?"
"Of course. Time is urgent, we will act tomorrow."
When learning that he could get the reward of ten deer, the Vips servants bowed their heads moved. They were authorized to select ten deer by themselves, and they were smart enough to select a total of two hundred fawns over one year old from the herd. what does that mean? These extremely young female deer can be bred for the first time this fall. From a utilitarian point of view, this maximizes the interests of herders. They are not paying attention to the fawns that are obviously just weaned.
A fawn is born in the spring, if it is a female deer, it can be bred in the autumn of the following year. Even if the reindeer is raised, the Karelians will not let a deer live to ten years old, they will kill the old deer to eat meat. Therefore, a female deer can only give birth to eight babies in a lifetime. It is the current limit to have ten deer. This kind of creature is not highly fertile.
Just like the cattle and sheep of the steppe nomads are their lifeblood, the Karelian tribes grazing in the cold zone, the reindeer are their lifeblood, and their economic foundation is almost built on reindeer breeding.
After being selected in this way, the Vips people basically took away the most fertile female deer in the huge herd. For such professional things, Arik, who is like a demon king, is too lazy to know.
However, Telavis and other Kewen people are purely seen through. They have regarded the Vips as a distant and non-threatening family, and they have left the seeds in the Vips village. In the future, they will basically not be responsible. Let them It's not bad to get some good fawns.
Throughout the afternoon, the huge herd of deer was counted in groups, and the Rus, who had excellent computing power, counted the precise number of the herd.
Plan out the deer that was eaten, and there are three thousand four hundred heads, and then plan out the rewards for the Vips people, the Ross people control three thousand one hundred heads.
The more than 3,000 deer are also particular, and there are as many as 800 young deer inside.
They are not wild reindeer at all, and there are not many real wild reindeer in this area. The bear altar was originally a center for Karelians to trade reindeer, and all domestic deer seized by the Russian army.
These deer therefore have two major characteristics that are different from their wild counterparts.
First: They are large in number and clustered together. They are indifferent when facing their companions being skinned and roasted by humans, and they continue to gnaw on the grass, completely losing aggression and leaving only pure meekness and humbleness.
Second: The stags are always artificially screened out, and a batch of stags are reserved for breeding. The Karelians domesticate the females the most.
The female deer is much more docile than the male deer, and the female deer is the main animal force for carrying goods and pulling sledges. This is very clear to the leather craftsmen of the Ross people. A small number of breeding deer and a large number of female deer have created an astonishing number of fawns in the herd.
After all, the bear altar is a trading place, and the deer antler is also a commodity. The meat of the deer is more delicious than the old deer. In terms of eating, the Karelians are also trying their best to eat well.
Arik and other Ross people value the development prospects of the young deer more, because it is easier for this young deer to be tied with a rope and pulled onto the Mercury.
The deer were divided into three, six or nine classes, and the bear altar itself began to be thoroughly cleaned up on the battlefield.
In principle, Arik and the guys didn't want to collect the bodies of the killed Karelians, but they planned to change completely because of this herd of deer.
Why did the army leave? On the contrary, the brothers occupied this place, and the enemy's corpses were buried or burned. The Rus built their own permanent settlements on the ruins of the tent group, so as to give priority to the use of fishery resources here and serve as an excellent army gathering place. .
The settlement should have a name, and since it is the bear altar of the Karelians, the Rus also adopted this meaning and took a Viking name-Bjornvistadt (Bjornvistadt). Meaning: Bear Festival Town,
On these issues, Arik showed his greatest command. Not to mention the deer diverting, the army was also diverted.
The next day, the four flag captains in the sun were forced to gather together to draw lots.
Arik held a silver coin with Justinian's head in his hand. Through a group of operations to guess the front and back, he selected a lucky team of hundred people to **** the first batch of supplies back. Who would really want to stay in this wild place? They won a battle, and many people began to guard against Karelian revenge. Although the brothers are very confident, if the opponent suddenly kills thousands of people, things will be difficult to handle.
Although the latter is a small probability time, the three hundred teams were left behind, which is clearly a choice of God, and the result of the coin toss is beyond doubt.
They dug large pits, threw all the corpses in, and covered them with soil to mark them. The marking is nothing else. The heads of the twenty Karelian envoys were moved to this huge grave, which became a kind of terrifying tombstone.
Those Vips were determined to go home by land, and 19 of them took some iron weapons rewarded by the Rus, drove up to two hundred female deer, and walked on that familiar road.
Why are there nineteen people? Just because one person will act as a messenger, take the big boat back to the village of Vips, and inform the local people of the experience.
Going home by land is a long journey. The Vips people who are good at hiking are not afraid. Their inner ecstasy surpasses everything. Everyone is imagining that it is a great thing to surrender to the new Lord Blonde Rose. The Ross people are not like masters, but like fathers and mothers. In their concept, only parents will have such generous rewards.
This is of course only their wishful thinking.
The Vips are sheep. Killing and eating meat is one way to use it, and letting them develop regular shearing is also a way to use it. Obviously the latter is better. It is meaningless to kill them and grab a wave. Arik naturally executes the latter option, and he can't think of the third way.
The more than 300 people who stayed gathered materials on the spot and began to build a walled settlement. This would be a huge project. Considering the enemy's possible revenge, defensive fortifications must be done. The big trees are cut down quickly, and the shed will be built the fastest. It is not obvious that the wall is built in a short time. It is very important to convert some wooden sheds into wooden towers. This is a watchtower and a commanding height for archery.
This group of young and strong veterans put their experience of fighting strong enemies here. After all, they rely on advanced civil engineering to take advantage of the decisive battle in Gotland.
Arik left with a large number of seizures. The three long boats towed the Mercury, all the boats retired their sails, and relied on the most traditional paddling to go straight to the south along the shoreline of the lake.
When the Ross Fleet arrived, forced to sail carefully because of the unknown environment, they kept a slow speed. There was nothing to worry about now, and Arik had only one thought in his mind. He took the Vips female leader onto the boat, and then rushed to Shilla Fort.
And this was done in just four days!
Arik reached the estuary of the Neva River from the northernmost tip of Lake Ladoga, together with the aging female leader, and the whole journey took only four days.
The paddling brothers did not enter the downstream mode until the fleet entered the faster Neva River. UUwwww. uukanshu.com has the opportunity to have a good rest. They arrived at Fort Shilla smoothly. At this moment, the surrounding city is already in a busy period of wheat harvest. The entire Eastern European farming peoples have begun their wheat harvesting season. Even Liu Lik, in order to demonstrate his devotion to the people, also brought his newly arrived group of wives and concubines. , Tamping the newly harvested wheat ears with a wooden chain yoke, so that the oats are hulled.
Arik's return was nothing but the result of armed investigations, but when Lurik, who was busy with farm work, learned that there were only four boats, one large, three small, and four boats back, things became complicated.
Rurik's heart suddenly stunned: "That's okay, but don't be my carelessness and his recklessness, causing my army to suffer a great loss!"
He left the farm work and rushed to the dock...
