Rudi's village is still behind the imagination of the soldiers of the Russian army. Those dwarfs who raise deer have an excellent point, that is, they have given up the nomadic life and built a permanent settlement on the lakeside.

Their dwelling resembles the half-crypted houses of the old Corvins, which makes Telavis, the current leader of the Vips, feel very kind.

They spoke a language very similar to the Corvins and the Vips. Telavis learned that these Rudys are actually relatives to all Finns, but they are long-lost relatives.

But to be more specific, the destroyed Tavastias and the Karelians, who are only half-sighed, are all Finns, and the whole relatives belonged to the civil war.

How is that? In the past, several tribes of the Kewen were all relatives. As a result, the pastures for grazing and the lakes and ponds for fishing were still fought with each other, and they were already split twice in essence.

Because there was no difference in appearance from the Ludi people, Telavis confidently and boldly mixed into the Ludi village and was able to observe them carefully. As the current leader of the Vips, he had a full meeting with the patriarchs of the Ludi clans.

So when the Ross army set up camp outside the village to smoke and smoke, Telavis became an "trustworthy old friend" of the Rudy people, even if he himself was a scientific man.

He is the leader of the Vips. Vips and Rudy have been serving as servants for Karelia. The times have changed, and it does not mean that the past friendship between the two tribes has collapsed.

The patriarchs gathered in a large half-crypted house. There was a hollow in the middle of the house, and under the cave was a slow burning pyre.

All this gave Terravis a great sense of familiarity, as if he had returned to his life a long time ago.

It's just that the people here are quite stupid in his opinion. Since they have chosen to live in settlement, why don't they build fortresses and protect themselves? Even if no one comes to attack, a fence constructed of wood and soil can effectively block the wind and cold and protect important personnel and deer.

The Ludi people have no plans to do so, and the clans don't mention it.

Telavis came as a distinguished guest. After a brief greeting, the clan chief and the female leader asked questions about the Vips and the Ruths.

In this way, a slightly embarrassing result was learned by the patriarchs.

The female leader asked in shock: "You are indeed not a Vips? You are a Kewen, are you from the farther north?"

"Do you know Tavastia?" Telavis asked.

"I know. It is said that there are Suomi people in the west of Karelia."

"Yes. It is said that the ancestors of our Corvins were separated from Suomi. Now the leader of Suomi is also in the army. Maybe you should also invite him. It is not necessary to come now. But Tavastia drove us away. Literati, we kept moving north until we met the Ross people. We were defeated, but the Ross people did not kill us. Now we have revived. My sister married the biggest leader of Ross, and I They were assigned to rule the Vips. The Vips surrendered without resistance. They did not die, but the population was increasing..."

The clans are not very clear about things that are farther north than Karelia. They have been living a very closed life. Only the elderly man slightly remembers the name of the Tavastia.

The old man then asked about Tavastia's situation, after all, there were many forces that had been hostile to Karelia.

"Tavastia? They are dead! We formed an alliance with the Rus. All the men of Tavastia died. At least 10,000 people were killed and all their women were captured."

Telavis stopped talking, and the clan chiefs were clearly on fire, but they were sweating coldly all over.

"What did they... do with those women? Slaves?"

"Yes and not." Telavis shrugged. "Those blonde giants (referring to blonde Vikings in general) are not picky. The Tavastia women who are still alive have now given birth to children."

At this point, he changed his words again: "You should be thankful that you only killed a deer breeder in the conflict, and did not harm a real blond Ross man. If you really kill one of them, I'm afraid I am not here as a friend."

But some clan chiefs hurriedly stood up: "Ah! That's a misunderstanding! All Karelians who have come from fleeing trap us and we must go to war against you, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"It's up to you to decide whether or not it's a misunderstanding." Telavis waved his hand: "At least the prince has forgiven you. Thank our benevolent prince! Now we form a coalition to attack the Karelians, you just have to cut off the enemy's Dedicating your head to the prince, your loyalty is convincing."

"It's the tall and noble young man. I...I would like to dedicate the little girl to him to show our sincerity." Another clan chief said with bright eyes.

"Forget it. Prince Rose doesn't care about your women. If you are willing to dedicate your daughter to other men, you may be acceptable."

So the clan chief shut up again, but he heard the hint in the words and made an interpretation that they thought was extremely reasonable.

Telavis was able to enter the village for the night and stay in the village of Ludi for the short time of the army's stay, all of which were instructed by Rurik himself and assigned some tasks.

The problem of language communication is indeed a big problem, and the same problem of trust is just as prominent. Regarding the relationship between Rudy and Vips as allies in the old age, Telavis was invited by Rudy, and Rurik seized the opportunity to insert the lobbyist.

Telavis wants to personally dispel Rudi's concerns, and has to do another thing-to command Rudi's army.

So when he volunteered to be the supreme commander of all Ludi fighters, the clan chiefs looked at each other and thought that there was nothing wrong with this. As for the elected native Markut, he was automatically demoted to deputy commander. As for whether this Markut can become the next leader of Rudi, it depends on his performance in this war.

The Rudi and the Vips formed an army of only one hundred and twenty men, and they received a safe rear arrow release mission.

Despite this, Telavis personally trained some combat tactics in Ludi Village, such as lining up and training the group of men with high intensity throughout the morning to distinguish between left and right, able to carry their inferior short spears. Sprint in line, or gather to shoot arrows at the same target. The army cannot be made overnight, but fortunately this group of men have at least sufficient hunting skills. It is very unrealistic to train them to become improvised spearmen, but it is a quick way to train them to form an archery.

Those Rudy people saw that Telavis was a reliable man, and the clans also needed someone from the Duchy of Ross who could speak for everyone. It is said that this eighteen-year-old man has the title of earl. They don't understand the nobility of this title. They only know that this person is very important within the duchy and has the right to chat and laugh with the prince himself.

Under the eyes of the female leader, each clan picked one of the beautiful girls from the clan and put it in Telavis's arms.

Can he refuse?

Telavis suddenly liked to mention five new wives and concubines, and even the Rudi people rushed to get a brief wedding. Considering the severe lack of population in his Vipsarava territory on the west side of Lake Ladoga, Telavis can find the perfect excuse to appreciate these "beauties."

Of course, this romantic affair had spread in the Rus' barracks, and Rurik had no intention of commenting on it.

It was the queen Svetlana, the incarnation of the army, the "Valkyrie", who couldn't help but slam the fire.

"You can pull over which woman you see, anyway, you can take this test to control those tribes."

"Xiao Nizi really don't know if you are smart or stupid..." The words were held in the stomach, and Rurik didn't comment on the words of his wife.

With such a beautiful woman by her side, why do other women do? Svetlana is sixteen years old. According to the law of that plane of Tsarist Russia, this is the minimum time for a woman to marry.

Svetlana had long wanted to be a mother, and gave birth to the prince to completely confirm the fact that she was the most noble woman in the principality. The previous few times there was no movement, she was not in a hurry. After all, it took a year for Sister Carlotta to get pregnant, and she gave birth to Duke Karl I.

She comforts herself, as long as she brews a little longer, she will win a boy.

Now she was satisfied again, and all that was left seemed to be the will of the goddess Freya.

The Rus army was fully rehabilitated in the Rudi village. As for the future road, Liurik is not unprepared.

After Telavis got off the horse, he won the trust of the Rudi people. After that, it became much easier for the well-informed clan chiefs of the Rudi people to describe the remnants of Karelia.

From the village of Ludi to the village of the remnants of the enemy, the reindeer sleigh took four days!

what does this mean? Based on his own experience, Rurik combined with the descriptions of the Vips fighters, the deer keeper and Suomi fighters present, and finally got a clearer definition of the distance between Rudy and the enemy's remains.

Because the sled reindeer that only relies on eating grass to maintain physical fitness, don't expect it to run very far.

Unless a large amount of high-energy food is stored on the sledge, they can be transformed into super powerful "engines."

The Rudy described the arrival in four days, so the Ross army can arrive in three days by drag racing.

At least one feature of the enemy's remains is very obvious. They settled next to Lake Onega, and at the same time there was a river that could be used as a shortcut to the Russ army.

The icy river can be used by the army to run wild, and the location is very close to the village of Ludi.

The glacier road is destined to accommodate the twists and turns of the river, but it is definitely a smooth road, suitable for the sled team that stocks a lot of oats and hay, and the Turkic horses with high endurance are now solved by "clothes." They will never fall behind in terms of protection from the cold.

The newly joined Lu Di fighters were sitting on the material sleigh with dried meat and other dry food. They were surprised by the large number of linen pockets filled with oatmeal grains. Many people didn't know what oatmeal was. In short, this thing was edible.

It's just that they can't hide in the shed on the manned sleigh, they can only rely on deer skins to shrink into a ball to keep out the cold.

Now that they have joined the Russian army, they have lost the original rare and strange things. For example, they know that wooden frame sunglasses are not an unspeakable precious thing. Of course, they are still a good thing. Even the people of Ludi have the opportunity to buy it, which is the price. Probably need a deer to change.

The huge sled team ran wildly on an unnamed glacial river. The Ludi people didn't give it a name. Lilik simply called it the "Ludi River". In fact, this river is the Shura River, which is injected into the river by Lake Onega. The larger surface runoff of Lake Doga.

The army ran wildly in the middle of the two lakes, and because it was already at the beginning of February, the time of day seemed to be long. There is no need for the army to force the reindeer and horses to trot all the way, as long as they maintain a fast walking speed and walk into the day.

They were in the huge camp under the riverside woodland. They used soil nitrate powder and hay soaked in nitrate water to support the combustion, and they ignited quickly with the skill of bow-boring fire. Because the fire was very fast, the Ludi soldiers were shocked by the miracle.

The deer and horses that had been exercising for a day finally stopped, and they were immediately fed a large amount of oats and supplemented with the burnt snow water.

Deer eat oats, and people eat it. Of course, there are still a lot of granola that can be eaten right away. However, under the low temperature, they are frozen in large quantities, and the delicious meal that was originally soft and delicious is not good anymore. Everyone cooked the oats on the spot, scooped them into their wooden bowls, sprinkled a handful of salt and chewed them. Rurik did not favor any of his subordinates, even the newly recruited Ludi servants had the same right to eat oats.

Since all the grain reserves were taken by the prince from the warehouse of the Principality, it was theoretically the property of the prince, and he was willing to distribute the grain to the Lu Di people, and the family did not say anything.

This seemed incredible to the female chief who accompanied him, because the salty wheat was really delicious, and the prince of the Rus did not break his promise.

The nobles represented by Rurik must pay more attention to eating in the field. He can prepare more frozen hand-rolled noodles and even some frozen dumplings, and throw them into the iron pot to stew at will, and then the nobles. We gathered together to eat this delicious meal.

In addition, some bonfires have been piled into simple grilled fish stalls. The fish with their heads and guts cut out are put on wooden sticks and piled on the cargo sled in a sturdy posture. Now they are gradually roasting and greasy.

This is a manifestation of proper logistics preparation!

When Kagan was eating grilled fish and chewing wheat, he didn't forget to keep it in his heart. If his Ross brother Rurik didn't pay attention to these, I'm afraid the whole army would just eat the jerky and wheat cakes.

The iron pan will not be broken! Kagan paid special attention to this picnic artifact. It is true that the iron here is no longer noble, and it is amazing that they can make such a huge cooking utensil.

Without him, this is the advantage of the pig iron casting nation. Its rust problem is only a minor problem. The key lies in its extreme solidity and the ability to be converted into a weapon by the king if necessary. Therefore, the iron pot is also the fist product exported by the Southern Song Dynasty.

Kagan is a son of the steppe and a wise man. Previously, he paid attention to the wonderful weapons of the Rus people. Now he has paid special attention to the iron pot with the opportunity of this expedition.

"I must bring back an iron pot, even if it is heavy, I have to take it back."

The iron pan does not need to be handled lightly. In the early morning, the iron pans start to boil the wheat again. Don't be too particular about eating a large pot of rice. In short, pour a large amount of oats in, stir with a wooden handle, and cook for a while. Ready to eat.

When the soldiers of the army wake up at dawn, with the burning scent of pine trees and the smell of wheat permeating the camp, they can carry tableware to eat.

It's really enjoyable to eat hot oats early in the morning. The soldiers who bring their own salt sprinkle a little bit of salt, and then add a little bit of cured meat, and those who have the conditions also put a little bit of butter in, and a delicious bowl of breakfast is complete. .

This surprised the Ludi people, who had at most two meals a day and only one meal most of the time. They learned that the Russian army had the conditions to set out three meals a day and tried to ensure two meals a day. They didn't understand but they were extremely envious.

After the cooking, the iron pan was cleaned casually, and he was thrown onto the sledge with his hand directly. No matter how violent the action was, it saved a lot of time for the evacuation work.

Then the problem comes again. Prince Ross and his army are already very strong and prosperous, why bother with a group of impoverished Karelian remnants in pursuit?

Is it really just their prince eager to conquer the world?

Indeed, if Lurik gave up the expansion, the principality would be in a lot of trouble, and even the power of the family might be shaken. This is an objective reason. As for Rurik's subjective cognition, he really intends to make a big territory, otherwise he would be sorry for his status as a king.

Looking at this Eastern Expeditionary Army, every man is full of desire. Everyone generally doesn't think how many trophies can be obtained, but there must be a lot of resources to cherish leather in the unknown area. As long as the purpose of the brothers is to make leather.

Knowing the general situation of the Pan-Siberian natural resources east of the Varda Highlands and even east of the Ural Mountains, marching eastward to plunder all kinds of leather is bound to succeed! That is the frigid and sub-frigid zone of more than 15 million square kilometers, especially in the east of the Ural Mountains. At this stage, the local indigenous people are probably only one million people at most.

The first night was spent like this, and the second was the same.

It was only in the third day that the atmosphere of the whole army became dignified. Everyone was saying that at this speed, they might arrive at Lake Onega, which no one had seen before, and the Kare that has yet to be wiped out this afternoon. Leah Remnant.

Although the ending was a bit disappointing~www.mtlnovel.com~, the army settled down, and they all felt that this was really a God-given opportunity?

Because the Ludi warriors have claimed that this place is very close to the destination, such a large army will recharge tonight and eat and drink well, and will run away tomorrow with sufficient energy and physical strength, and it will be easy to win.

For the time being, this is a good plan, until a bold guy is wearing a "tree climbing artifact", that is, a curved foot pedal at the front end quickly crawls a spruce, he stands tall and sees far away, although the current situation is afraid of heights. People can be frightened. This incident is not much more terrifying than afraid of the mast of a big ship. The man who stood tall noticed the sparkling fire in the distance and the strong reflection of moonlight on the earth.

It's an ice lake! And the place where the bonfire shines is the goal!

He went down to report the situation, and all the conjectures were not discussed anymore. All that was left was that each soldier polished his weapons silently, and after a good night's sleep, the whole army assaulted tomorrow after eating.

Especially! The cavalry team broke away from the main force and launched the first wave of attacks with Prince Kagan of Pechenegg as the vanguard.

This kind of great deed that can be accomplished first, Kagan does his part.
