Rise of Rurik - Chapter 634

[Chapter 635 We Don’t Recognize Anyone Except Rose’s Rurik]

When I returned to the home where I lived for ten years, what I saw before my eyes was both familiar and strange.

Noren caressed the unpopular furnishings, thankful that there was no dust on his hands.

“They… all left, even the servants left.” The blond hair covered half of her face, she looked at her hands blankly and muttered to herself.

“Are you… sorry?” Rurik asked.

She raised her head: “A little bit, but this is life.”

“This is your home. Oh, it’s also your home.” Rurik said casually.

“That’s right, but this room should be demolished.”

“Tear it down? Why bother?”

Nolen turned his face slightly: “Compared to the Roseburg building, this longhouse is really simple. My parents and brothers have all gone to Britain, so I have no attachment to this room.”

A sense of sadness came over me.

“You are the countess, you decide.”

“At least, it will be demolished in the future. This longhouse is very big, so brothers don’t camp, and try to stay in the house.” She said.

Rurik nodded, “Alright. After feeding the deer, the brothers all entered the house.”

It was originally the mansion of the old Balmerk leader, but now it is full of Rurik’s men.

This does not seem strange at all, since Rurik has been honored by the people who stayed behind as the new ruler.

Besides, in this long house, although the people left behind will arrange for people to enter the house for simple cleaning, that’s all they can do.

Just like this long and narrow long house, its gable roof is still covered with a lot of snow, if it is not strong enough, it will collapse.

The narrow and cold old longhouse was suddenly full of people. Noren’s boudoir was even more deserted, but now it finally regained its popularity.

Lying in her own room again, sleeping on the floor made of leather blankets, now she feels that this way of sleeping is weird and uncomfortable.

She relaxed, and subconsciously leaned into her man’s arms.

His parents and brothers are far away, and Rurik is indeed his only relative at present.

She murmured: “You and I were supposed to have our wedding this year, but the matter has been done two years ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, I am really immature.”

“You…” Rurik stroked her blond hair like a kitten, “You behaved like a nobleman today, but there are some deficiencies.”

“Why not enough?”

“Lacks the air of an aristocrat.”

“Then you teach me?” She sneered.

“Maybe it will never be taught. Ah! It’s a pity that you are a woman. I saw it today. Those men would rather recognize me, a Ross, as the new leader, and reject you, a pure Balmerk.”

“It’s okay, I’m very satisfied to be your woman.” Noren pretended not to care, but he was panicking in his heart.

She asked again: “How long will we stay? Rurik, I was really looking forward to coming back, but this place has become strange, and I want to go back now.”

“Ah? This is your hometown.”

“Yes, and no. I still want to go.”

“Okay. I’ll give those people three days. We really don’t have time to delay. If the glacier melts, our return journey will be difficult. I’ll see how many people they can come tomorrow. If there are enough people, we will evacuate immediately .”

Noren hummed lightly, and only breathed quietly.

The sled has no shock absorption. Even if the ice and snow are a little soft, everyone is always tired because of the bumps along the way.

Things are different, Rurik’s Balmerk mercenaries were a little excited about living in the old chief’s mansion at first, but now they are all snoring.

Everyone was tired, and the noise couldn’t disturb Rurik’s rest.

The snow outside absorbed too much noise, and the entire Balmerk Fjord was extremely quiet.

Do not!

Under this quiet appearance, there are more than a dozen small bays in this fjord, each of which is very lively.

After receiving the letter from the Duke of Ross from the largest settlement, the envoys of the stranded families hurriedly rowed back to their respective settlements.

Knowing that the Duke of Ross is recruiting new warriors, a group of fishermen with good physique and good at fishing took action one after another.

For example, old Bryn Goethe, this guy returned to his house, no matter what the cold night, he summoned his sleeping relatives and neighbors, and announced the request of the Duke of Ross.

Acknowledge Rurik as the new leader of everyone?

This matter was discussed and passed last year, and all the families who decided to stay behind agreed.

A large number of retail investors who live close to big families are also wrapped up in it and deeply agree.

Fight for the Duke of Ross, and go to crusade against an enemy in the east. After the victory, the participants will get the spoils!

To farm in Britain?

The guys at Washebe Farm who have all run away may be good at this, but our brothers are not good at it.

What the brothers are best at is killing fish and enemies. The so-called dare to kill a huge whale also dares to fight a powerful enemy.

At Old Bryngoethe’s house, when he relayed Rurik’s orders that night, they responded literally.

A group of fishermen’s families, they have no relatives with Bryn Goethe, but they lived by the newspaper group for warmth and created a small fishing village.

If the fishing village had a name, it would be called “Bringoethe”.

In addition to his own relatives and children, more than 90 other fishermen stood up. The number really surprised Bringoethe.

After he finished recounting, looking at the aggressive eyes of a group of young men in leather clothes, he couldn’t help thinking that if this group of people fought against Rurik, wouldn’t his small settlement be depressed on the spot?

Old Bryn Goethe pulled out the eldest son who inherited the family business, hoping that the boy would say a few words.

It’s a pity that the young man was hemming and hawing.

“Idiot, are you talking?”

Looking at the eldest son again, he seemed to have been constipated for many days, twisted his face and asked his father softly: “Father, do you really want me to take these brothers to fight? I am not made for fighting.”

Hearing this, old Bryn Goethe was furious and his blood pressure soared.

But thinking about it carefully, his eldest son is such a person, and he doesn’t want to cheer up when he is called a coward.

“Forget it. I’ll let your third brother come.”

A young man who was about to turn eighteen, his name was Hellafield Bryn Goldson.

Even if the third child could not inherit the family business according to tradition, Bryn Goethe Sr. did not hope that the previous battle would allow his two sons to take risks.

The second child, Bjorn Bryn Goldsen, made meritorious service and captured women in Britain, and began to build his own business from scratch.

At that time, the third child was still too young, and I think it’s time to let go now.

Just as the old Bryn Goethe hoped, the youngest Helafed seized this opportunity without hesitation.

This young man didn’t care about the cold. In front of his family and friends, he lifted his fur and showed his chest to show off his chest muscles.

Even though he still looks young, those strong arms prove that he is a fighter.

It’s just that he needs military exploits.

Since the third brother is willing to do this drudgery, the eldest son heaves a sigh of relief…

A centurion is assembled like this?

Old Bryn Goethe knew the result of this team’s departure, because once they felt that the east of the mountains was very good, they took their families and defected to Ross completely.

In addition to those immigrants who went to Britain before, their home was in the fjords of Balmerk, and everything became deserted.

Strange to say, when old Magnut called for war, this group of fishermen had never risen up like today.

Is it true that Rose’s Rurik has a strong appeal?

Old Bryn Goethe didn’t know what the other left-behind families and the vast number of retail investors thought. The small village where his family was located was like this. Could it be that the Ross people really easily assembled a large army?

This night, the huge conscription operation was being carried out smoothly, and Rurik did not force them to work hard at all, and a large number of men were going to join the army with their own weapons.

Although there is respect for heroes here, it is also because of being a permanent mercenary of Rurik, the stable salary is a hundred times better than fishing.

This night, another big event is also happening.

Because there are still a group of men who participated in the conquest of Tavastia, they did not participate in the new expedition to Britain.

Now, a group of Tavastian female prisoners were brought over, and the men went to check immediately, peeling off the clothes to check the tattoos.

Once he found out that it was his own tattoo, he immediately took the woman away.

Rurik definitely did not send the Buddha to the west, the Tavastia woman had already arrived, and he had no right, let alone the obligation, to control what the local Balmerks thought.

What kind of life will this group of women live in Balmerk, will they get enough food?

Rurik had already appealed to local prominent people to help him, and he didn’t ask the Balmerk allies for the food and clothing expenses of these women for the past six months. He felt that he was already very kind.

The women who were taken away immediately had sex with their new men, and the previous incidents made a mess all night.

Rurik didn’t know and didn’t care. He only hoped that as many warriors as possible would emerge from the Balmerks, and he would use some means to transform them into pure Rus people.

Until noon the next day, more and more people rowed longboats across the ice-free ocean to reach the core settlements in the fjords.

Now, Rurik is willing to name this core point Narvik.

A large number of ships rushed onto the beach, and a group of strong men with weapons came down.

Some people jumped directly into the icy seawater submerged to their knees, and they did not care about the cold, and rushed ashore to gather in the water.

Many wore iron or bronze helmets, mostly gray-toned leather, and shields of various colors.

They are not a mob, and they have a fierce aura standing on the ground.

They assembled spontaneously and soon formed a large army.

Rurik was indeed too tired, and when he went to rest, he fell asleep until almost noon.

Gevro was very bold and shook his patron hard.

“Noren…Noren, I’m still sleepy…”

“My lord, it’s me, Gevro.”

“You?” Rurik woke up suddenly, fumbling with his right hand, “Where’s Noren?”

“She’s already gone out early.”

“Oh… No! You shouldn’t be so reckless.”

“My lord, allow me to apologize. But a large number of soldiers gathered outside, and what you hoped to be accomplished today. Noren is already talking to them, and they are just waiting for you to show up.”

“It turned out to be like this!” Rurik couldn’t even imagine such a surprise in his dreams, he hurriedly changed his clothes, and hurried out.

The sun shone on the metal helmets, and there were a lot of warriors with golden braids.

They brought their own weapons, round shields in groups, and short spears erected into groves.

Seeing this armed and formidable warrior for the first time, Rurik estimated that their number might reach a thousand.

Not only that, because the word was released yesterday that the so-called Ross sled team’s trip is taking care of trade work, and the quantity of a batch of goods is not large, and they still have to be sold on the spot.

The conditions Rurik gave to the locals were still the same, that is, they took out the prepared salt as currency for trading, and salt was a special general equivalent. The value of the salt in this transaction was still declared by Rurik as “ten silver coins A pound of good salt”.

So there is also a large group of women wearing headscarves and strange braids, and some children running around.

“It’s Lord Rurik! He’s finally here.” Suddenly someone shouted at the top of his voice.

Someone shouted excitedly: “Don’t be in a daze! Salute to our lord!”

Everything happened very quickly. Rurik saw Noren talking and laughing with some gorgeously dressed old guys, and he cared more about the group of warriors.

The soldiers half-kneeled to salute the warriors, with the shield tree in front of them, and the right hand still holding the spear.

They raised their heads, with hopeful eyes on both sides of the huge iron nose piece of the guard.

Their words were mixed at the beginning, but they were quickly summarized into a neat sentence: “We don’t recognize anyone except Riurik af Russ!”

look!

Listen!

The sound was so loud and tidy that the snow on the roof was shaken off.

As a monarch, the happiest thing is to be in such a scene, and he is the ruler supported by the soldiers.

Rurik recalled, he remembered that Magnut, an old guy, had never been so admired by his people.

In such a magnificent scene, Rurik simply drew his sword: “Brothers, I am indeed your qualified leader. I want to lead you from victory to new victory. Now I declare that you are all the purest Rus people! I recognize you as Ross people! However, you must pass a victory to prove your strength to other Ross people!”

This remark was the most crucial declaration of Rurik’s trip, and he was trying to recruit Balmerk’s remaining defenders while the iron was hot.

For these assembled warriors, Rurik allowed them to continue to live as Rus, and they knew exactly what it meant.

The scene of everyone saluting made old Bryn Goethe’s jaw almost drop. In his memory, no leader could get such a large number of soldiers to kneel and salute.

Noren was also trembling with shock, this was a concrete manifestation of the charm of his man as a brave man.

Old Bryn Goethe seized the opportunity and immediately pushed out his third son after Rurik made everyone stand up.

A young man with his biceps exposed in the cold wind came out holding a shield.

Hailafeld’s face is immature and heroic, and his deep eyes are the most traditional Norwegian face.

As for half of his head, which is bald with blue stripes and short braids on the top of his skull, it seems to be the normal hair style of a Balmerk man.

As for my brothers Biyoni and Floki, their pure bald heads are too personal.

It’s just that the first time he saw Hellafield Bryn Goldson, Rurik felt that if he didn’t become a warrior, he would be sorry for his status.

After some inquiries, I learned that there were a hundred armed men behind this person, and I was pleasantly surprised and a little strange.

“It seems that I am really charming.” Rurik was very happy.

But now is definitely not the time to be conceited. It is unexpected that even if the Balmerks emigrate to Britain on a large scale, those who stay behind will still have such strength.

wait!

If they all followed him, wouldn’t this huge Narvik Fjord become sparsely populated?

That’s not okay.

The concept of Balmerk can become history, and the changes in Narvik must be replaced and carried forward. The decrease in the number of people here is not conducive to the Ross people’s strategy of seeking an ice-free port.

Besides, the more expedition teams, the better.

Rurik saw them, his mind turned violently, and he announced: “I am very happy with your respect. But this time, you directly accept my command. I will choose 500 people to leave, and the rest, please continue your own way.” Work.”

Such an announcement made the soldiers whine again, because they were destined not to go to war this year, many people actually complained.

Rurik was not surprised by this situation. For practical reasons, it was indeed impossible for him to take away a thousand soldiers.

So how to choose leavers?

Rurik thought about it, and if he had enough time, he could use competitive methods, such as comparing strength and running speed, to identify the best.

Now that time is running out, he came up with a simple standard.

Because Modgen, the explorer, was still staying in his hometown in Balmerk, so he simply took this man as the standard. He was not taller than him, and his arms were not as thick as his.

Even people with too long beards and obviously too immature teenagers don’t want it.
