The earth was shaking, and the pine trees collapsed.

The Roth's two saws cut wood violently at an unimaginable speed. Due to the large number of people doing things, the woodland surrounding the stone hills almost simultaneously collapsed, and the tremor caused shocked the tired hilltop islanders. To cheer up.

What happened?

Those men who are still able to fight hold their weapons to get up with difficulty, their lips are full of folds, their dehydrated bodies have become sluggish, and worse still, there are headaches caused by lack of water.

They are pretty good, after all, there was a small amount of supplies in the middle.

Thousands of people are hiding in the stone hills and the supplies are extremely scarce. The food and drinking water stored by the big families have been exhausted. This kind of supplies can't even satisfy their people, so how can they help other fishermen's families?

The poor fishermen begged to share some water and food, but the big family themselves were also tired beasts in their cages.

If the Russian army continues to besiege, and the sky does not drop rain, thousands of people will die of thirst collectively.

Many people have already died. Young children have died in their mothers' arms, and the children's mothers are in just as bad.

Even people who can't bear the pain choose to hang themselves on a larger scale. The so-called death, suicide is faster than pain and thirst, and no one knows when the Ross invaders will attack. If they are captured by those wicked people, they will suffer more miserable than death. Destiny.

Many corpses hung from the trees on the top of the stone hill, and even more terrifying tragedies occurred.

The body was chopped off, and the hungry and thirsty people had lost their minds because of their strong desire to survive, and they drank the blood of the dead. At least, that thing can replenish its own water.

After all, people who do this are a minority, and more people just lie on the rocks quietly waiting for an unknown destiny. It has been four days since fleeing, the people who really haven't gotten in have died, and the dying people have received at least some supplies.

As many as three thousand people stayed on the top of the stone mound, and today they can still stand up and raise their weapons, but only five hundred people.

Five hundred people seem to be a lot. Such so-called fighters will get tired if they try to chop and chop a few times.

They stood up one after another, and the big families commanded their own people, private soldiers and even armed slaves. Everyone watched the destruction of the forest nervously, and saw the nightmarish spinnaker of the Ross people still cruising on the sea under the rising sun.

"Will this island sink? We will sink into the sea!"

"That's better than being trapped alive like this. Why don't we rush down and fight the Ross people, we can't be thirst to death."

"Desperately? Did we make it?"

"Then it can only be sleepy. Damn, they are not even eager for our chance of surrender. We have a feud with them? The Horlick in Denmark drove us here, and the Russ will kill you and us!" The speaker was an exiled Danish nobleman.

The elites of the islanders gather in one place, including large native families and Danish exiles.

Compared with the two ends of the first mouse of the big family, the exiles sighed that they had gotten together with those cowards and ended up in a desperate situation.

"Just fight them! I will die by the sword if I die." Another exile said.

The patriarchs of the big family have nothing to say. They don't want to die, and they don't dare to surrender.

The Danish exiles reprimanded this group of self-proclaimed big families as idiots and scolded them. Even if the brothers go down to find the Ross, how many people have the strength to fight?

When they were ambiguous, new trends began to appear on the logging site.

Banners with blue stripes on a white background began to appear in large numbers, and soldiers in white robes walked through the collapsed ruins of the forest with difficulty, gradually showing a hideous look.

The flag is not only to show the identity of an army, but the number of flags can boost morale and scare the enemy.

The Ross soldiers were ordered to restore the flag, and at the same time blew the horns and beat the drums desperately, doing everything they could to make a sound.

The scheduled bonfire began to ignite, and the addition of soil glass made the bow to drill the fire much more effective. The white powder taken from the dung was mixed in specially prepared hay and paper scraps. The sawdust sparks drawn by the bow drill hit the soil, and immediately caused the entire grass to turn into a fire.

Once the Russ couldn't make fire so fast, but now making fire has become a de facto deflagration technique.

Rurik watched the bonfires with a calm face. It is said that once soil nitrate has its practical use, the people will accept its existence and generate significant demand.

"You guys! I'm afraid no one thought that this thing could be turned into a weapon!"

The technology for casting bronze hand cannons and small cannons is fully mature, and key medicines can also be prepared. Take a look at the torsion slingshot that is pressed to the two-wheeled trolley and pulled to the scene. Compared with the artillery, the existing long-range weapons are fully satisfactory for use.

Rurik divided the army into three parts. He directly led the absolute main force to stand under the mound, and two other detachments gathered in another area. Some flag-raising skirmishers were wandering, showing that the Rus army had enough strength to encircle the stone hills.

Actually? The Ross and Swedish fishermen who followed the entire fleet are now ashore. Although a large number of ships are still floating at sea, only sailors are left on them.

Rurik mobilized all the people that could be mobilized, and made a posture of holding an army of ten thousand people in his hand.

"You must burn the fat fish to ashes?!" Arik still felt inappropriate about what was about to happen. He confessed to his brother: "It's too outrageous to lure the enemy with the smell of grilled fish? I don't believe those people would be like this. Surrender obediently."

"What if I succeed? You..." Rurik looked at the many elites present. Except for Ragnar and Swind, everyone else must have their own significant political status in the future Rose. "Let's talk about it! If anyone finds it difficult to induce surrender, just say it. Of course I don't think this move is absolutely successful, perhaps it can defeat their will."

Speaking of this, Rurik again emphatically informs the two talents who are about to persuade the surrender: "Swind, Ragnar, you must not remember what I told you. Whether you can persuade you to surrender peacefully is up to you! I don't want to. Fight. But..."

"I understand!" Swind could not wait: "There is no point in fighting at all. Let everything stop. If those guys don't understand, I really can't help it. I only hope that once the situation is irreversible, at least the life of my family will be saved. ."

Rurik shrugged: "This matter... depends on God's arrangement."

And Ragner has nothing to say. Now that he feels that it is a waste of feelings to join forces with the exiles to oppose the King of Denmark. It is better to be brothers with the kid Rrik, and invite the Ross army to help him by friendship. Seized the crown of Denmark. It's best if there are exiles on the stone hill, but it's okay if they all die of thirst and starve to death.

The soldiers carrying the newly caught big cod were publicly displayed, and the people on the stone mound saw it, and watched the soldiers throwing the fat fish into the fire with little saliva.

The Russian army was still rumbling, and soon, the scorched aroma of grilled fish spread to the stone hills along the south wind.

Not only the cod, but also a lot of herring were burned. The coke smell of fish oil rushed into the nostrils of the hungry, and it was truly a dying illness to sit up in shock, and many dying people actually stood up!

There were some dangling figures, men, women, and children. They dragged their tired pace and staggered down the hill. They were more bare-handed, even if they fell, they crawled and rushed to the scene where the fresh fish was burned.

Seeing this scene, Arik was overjoyed: "Hey! Brother, let you be right! They really came to surrender."

Swind and Ragnar were also dumbfounded, and they didn't think that they didn't have to spend their tongues. Those people who were about to starve to death had come down?

Rurik was triumphant and motioned: "Don't panic, I still have a good show. Ah! It seems that the torsion slingshot is ready for nothing..."

Those who hold wooden barrels, look at the fresh water in the barrel. The Ross army completely controlled the springs on the island, and it was quite easy to get water.

The soldiers scooped water into the sky with both hands, and even went into battle openly, shirtless, topping with the entire barrel of water, and publicly shaking their wet hair.

The Ross people deliberately waste fresh water, this is a stronger temptation!

More people walked down the stone mound, and Liurik ordered the guarded soldiers to continue to hold the hilt. If the hungry and thirsty rushed down, if there were attackers among them, they would kill them naturally. If they were just grabbing water, let them grab enough. !

Some wooden barrels were placed in public, and the fishermen who washed down did not care about the risks. They competed with each other and the land became wet.

"It's really messy..." Liurik spit out. He couldn't stand it at all. The chaotic scene was still where the male fishermen took advantage, and the poor female fishermen lay on the ground, licking the wet land, drinking even the muddy mud.

A pair of soldiers rushed over at the order of the prince. They are not here to control the situation and make the so-called water fetching become orderly, but directly arrest the women and children among them.

This seems strange, but it is because Rurik has different arrangements for the islanders. The women and children were brought to the east to continue to ease the marital problems of a large group of Slavic men, especially the many brothers of his Slavic flag team. As for the male fishermen, their life safety can of course be guaranteed, but they will give up their fishing life and turn them into slave labor for mining and start a new life in the north.

A group of women and children were brought under control, and those who could not rob men were provided with fresh water and food.

The Ross army watched this group of people eat and drink. For the women and children, although the soldiers had conversations in Gnostic, it was hard to talk about ridicule and contempt.

Ordinary fishermen who could move on the stone mound were all looking for the fragrance.

There are still a large number of people in Shiqiu, except for the dead, who are the real dying people, and even those big families and exiles who are still uncertain.

Swind checked the people who came down, but he didn't see his wife, children or even his servants, which made him extremely sad.

Those who came down also recognized Swind's face, and when they were shocked, they needed him as a backer.

Swindle was originally the person who was recommended by everyone, but now that he returned to his job, Kongkai announced that eating the water and fish of the Ross people was surrendering, and everyone's lives would be guaranteed. If she doesn't talk about other things, she will talk about survival.

Hearing the promise of life from the Ross people, seeing the so-called "killed water fetchers" clearly alive, they were even annoyed. Surrender is a smart choice. I blame myself for running to the mountain with the big family stupidly. If the title is earlier, there will be no trouble later.

The united front work is now!

Rurik was dressed very glamorously. He appeared as a handsome warrior and preached to the hundreds of people who had fled down the stone hills: "I am Prince Ross! It looks like you are just ordinary fishermen. Your stupid escape is to seek your own death." Now that you surrender to me, you will find the future stability. Eat fish and river water to your heart's content now, and I will reward you with a good life."

They all stared at Rurik's tall and majestic posture. The leader of the fierce Rus was actually a young man?

Rurik opened his arms and smiled. This smile represents goodness, and his promise is even more seductive: "You are all my servants, and no one can hurt you now! You are loyal to me, and you will be very loyal to me. Good life. Right here, if a soldier attacks you, it's a crime! I don't allow this to happen. I learned that you are all free fishermen. You are dependent on the strong to survive. Now, you must depend on me. ! Only I am your real master!"

This is like reassurance, even if there is a commotion in the crowd, now it tends to be quiet.

No, some people began to plead, that there are still a large number of dying people on the so-called stone hill. Since Prince Ross is a good man, he killed the big families that caused the war and rescued the poor fishermen, thus getting more servants.

Is it okay to persuade surrender? Arik was even more surprised. People who either tried to resist or flee hard the other day, now they have changed from the standpoint of Ross to safeguard the interests of Prince Ross?

Arik regards the speaker as a good dog who is apostate. This person is clearly a man, which really makes Arik uninterested. Instead, he turned his face to look at Shiqiu, where there are still a group of stubborn fellows, right? On the contrary, those people are the cruel people that Arik feels will not surrender, and they are fighters who can be admired.

The fact?

From the standpoint of the big family on the top of the stone mound, even though they took up arms and watched a group of people dying down the mountain, they were essentially a group of spectators. They felt that these people would be ruthlessly killed by the Ross army, but they didn't expect to drink water and eat meat publicly. A well-dressed man was very ostentatious, and those who surrendered sitting on the ground were also very calm.

The private soldiers and slaves of the big family wavered, and many people clamored to go down and surrender.

There was a commotion among the crowd, and the slaves who clamored for surrender were killed immediately, and the patriarch used this violent means to control the precarious situation forcibly.

Swind learned that his wife and children were actually still on the stone hill, and Ragnar also learned that many Danish exiles had not come down.

The exact news reached Rurik. As the commander-in-chief, he felt that he could make the final blow.

In fact, the life and death of those big families is no longer concerned. The key is that there are still a large group of dying people on the mountain. It would be a pity if all the fishermen died. On the contrary, it is not a shame that the big family and their relatives are so reluctant to die. These people had better surrender as soon as possible to give the Ross army time for rescue.

Now, Ragnar and Swind have finally acted.

Behind them are the more than one hundred capable brothers of the First Banner team that Arik is carrying~www.mtlnovel.com~ The guys are all carrying crossbows, bucklers on their backs, and swords hanging from their waists. Vigilance is necessary. If those people are going to fight to the death, the Russ army will immediately fight back because they have been prepared. This is also protecting Ragnar and Swind.

The two envoys were very conspicuous. As the distance drew closer, the people on the stone mound kept high alert.

The patriarchs of various big families were shocked by that very familiar face.

It's Swind! Is this guy not dead? !

When the heads of the clan were shocked, a woman pulled the child and rushed over.

The dignified Swinder panicked, and then rushed over with joy. The couple hugged each other, and Swind's children hugged their father's clothes tightly.

This warm scene could not touch a few people. Arik ordered his subordinates to maintain a high level of alert. Everyone has clearly seen the faces of the recalcitrants. If they shoot arrows, don't blame the Ross army for reaping lives with precision shots...
