Rise of Rurik - Chapter 643

[Chapter 644 They chose war]

The Rus’ ship sailed away with the wind!

Vadim didn’t expect this, and he didn’t expect that he had already discovered and seized the opportunity, and the assassination went smoothly, but the sword was just blocking Otto’s armor.

He had never seen this kind of defense before. Obviously, his sword was so carefully polished that it could cut bloodstains with just a touch of a finger. This sharp thing was meaningless.

The people of the violent Pine Needle Manor chased by the lake for a while, but finally gave up because they were unable to enter the lake.

They calmed down a little bit and panted heavily, and settled down for a while before they began to help their dead and wounded.

Even, make up for the corpse of the Ross.

The people were clearly expressing anger that had been accumulated for decades. Most of the rioters had either their family members taken away or their houses burned down. They had very legitimate vendettas against Ross, especially Otto himself.

The spearhead kept poking at the body of the Ross warrior, stripping off the dead man’s armor, leather jacket and shirt.

Because Vadim has long said that those who participated in the uprising have the right to snatch the spoils by their ability.

Poor peasants are the most deficient in iron tools. Some held up the axes and steel swords they had seized, while others used wooden poles to pick up bloody chain mail that had just been stripped off and screamed.

As for the corpse of the deceased, the people were venting their anger wantonly, and in the end they smashed it into a horrible mess.

The assassination obviously failed, some Ross people died, and the people of Pine Needle Manor suffered more casualties.

Many people were killed by arrows and stone bullets, and it was not within Vadim’s expectations to encounter such a thing.

A young and energetic cub, with a hasty plan and poor planning, he can call hundreds of people into action.

Vadim came to his senses, now he has to face not only the mess after the incident, but also the fury of the Ross people!

Borudne never dreamed that his son would do it so early!

There were other people’s blood on his body, and the beautiful clothes added a kind of horror.

For a time he was unconscious in the house, mixed with a group of dead people.

The dead included the cubs of Ross and Pine Needle Manor. The initial battle broke out in the council room of the manor, blood seeped into the ground along the cracks in the wooden floor, and the whole room was covered in blood.

Borudne was so frightened that his legs were paralyzed that he crawled away from the house, but he saw more corpses outdoors!

What’s more, a young boy with godless blue eyes was lying flat and looking at himself, and the fatal wound on his chest and its terror were like the trunk of a big tree that was almost cut off…

After all, he cheered up, and he trembled when he saw the corpse, thinking that it must have been done by his son Vadim, his legs trembled when he thought of it.

He found a broken short spear and stood up, when he heard someone groaning in his ear.

Is…a Ross?

!

A dying old soldier spat out blood and muttered in Norse language: “You…will be cut to pieces…”

After a while, a farmer with a brown beard broke in, followed by a group of armed men.

Everything was messed up, and Borudne cursed: “This is my home! You lowly serfs, who let you in?!”

It’s a pity that the armed men with spears didn’t care about Borudne at all. They inspected the corpse with short spears, and when they found the Ross people, they stabbed them with spearheads, and then stripped off the corpse’s clothes and took the weapons.

Borudne watched the whole scene with a pale face, and he felt that he had become an outsider.

In other words, Borudne has become an outsider from today, and the era of his rule over the Pine Needle Manor is over.

Vadim took his surviving men out to clean up the battlefield, some old friends died, and neither the plans to kill Otto nor seize (or destroy) the ship came to fruition.

He couldn’t be happy, but the mobilized people and little soldiers started doing crazy things one after another!

Some people beheaded the Death Ross warriors and strung them on wooden sticks to show off their power.

In the eyes of the Slavs, this terrible scene was clearly a good show that should be cheered. They completely forgot the purpose of the battle, as if killing a few Rus warriors would be a great victory!

The armed crowd chanted Vadim’s name and demanded that he be the new owner of the manor.

Young warriors surrounded the hesitant Vadim, and someone shouted excitedly: “Brother, you are the prince! We won! We defeated the Rus!”

Another shouted: “The people of Ross are nothing more than that, as long as we unite, nothing is impossible.”

Just like a good scene of wearing a yellow robe, a young soldier suddenly knelt down on one knee, which quickly attracted many people to kneel down.

After all, they had a lot of contact with the Rus and other Varyags, until what is a warrior ceremony.

Many people asked Vadim to officially call him prince with one voice, which finally turned into a plea of a large group of people.

Vadim, he has never lived with such glory.

The great glory came, and he forgot his failed assassination for a moment. Surrounded by armed people, and right on the corpse of the Ross, he held up the captured Ross steel sword and publicly declared himself to be the leader of the entire Ilmen Lake. The only princip in the Vgorod region!

Vadim is the prince!

In theory, this title is the same level of noble title as the Duke of Ross Duchy.

He took a group of young and old men, and brought some weapons he had just seized to go home aggressively.

Before them, a group of armed farmers rushed ahead, and there was a scene that Borudne saw.

Vadim counted the old men under his command. Did the 80 “valiant generals” who started the incident actually die forty after a fierce battle?

The fighting power of the Ross people is indeed astonishing, but the corpses of Ross soldiers lying on the ground also illustrate many problems.

“If I unite more people to fight them, I still have a chance of winning.” He thought so, and brought his brothers back home proudly.

The battle was over, and the people who had fled to the woods fled back one after another. They were startled when they saw a large number of corpses, but they were also relieved to find that many people were cheering with the heads of Ross people in the winding village alleys.

Vadim’s face was bloodstained, and his body was also dirty.

Borudne saw that his son was doing well, and he was more relieved than angry.

No, this captured man pointed his sword at his father in public, and immediately said: “Father, your era is over. Now I am the owner of the manor, and I will take Pine Needle Manor and other manors with me to fight against the people of Ross. tyranny!”

Vadim looked at his father coldly, and Borudne also had a pale old face.

“You! What are you going to do? Rebel against me?”

“Yes! Father, the people abandoned you, and now they have chosen me. Pine Needle Manor and the whole of Novgorod can no longer be slaves. I will completely eradicate the Ross people, as well as the group of traitors in White Tree Manor.”

Borudne was so angry that his teeth were itchy again, he stretched out his hand and pointed: “Stupid! You are leading everyone to seek their own death!”

“That’s better than being slowly strangled by the ropes of the Ross! Besides, we will only be finished under your stupid governance. I dare say that when I raise the temperament of rebellion, everyone will support. We will fight them A decisive battle must be won!”

“You! It’s ridiculous. You don’t have the ability!”

“War is inevitable, father! Now that I have angered the Rus, they will attack. You are so afraid of them, run away, to Smolensk, and I will bring the children of Ilmen with you.” Defeat the Ross people. Father, if you are really brave, you will fight them as I do! Think of my sisters, are you worthy of them?”

“You! Stupid! Too stupid…” Borudne could see that his son was not only trying to assassinate the leader of the Ross people, but also to seize his own power.

This was an untimely coup d’état. Originally, the owner of the manor belonged to this boy, but he couldn’t wait for it.

Now that the whole thing is done, Borudne has nothing to say, and he sighs, not only lamenting the absurdity of today, but also lamenting his own sad fate.

“Okay, I’ll leave everything to you. I don’t care about anything, you can do whatever you want!”

Borudne has delegated power, and Vadim has already figured out that even if he does not delegate power, he must monopolize power.

It’s just about calling yourself a prince, and you need some special operations.

He decided to gather all the manors and order those manor owners to support his authority. If he disagreed, he would force them to support with armed farmers.

A sacrificial activity is about to be carried out, and all the manor owners who support themselves must participate to witness the birth of a prince.

These same support only must bring out a group of fighters to resist the revenge of the Rus.

Vadim is about to go into action.

On the other hand, White Tree Manor.

Otto came back suddenly with anger, and Ligus and others felt that the Ross people’s collection of tribute was too smooth, and they searched the entire Ilmen Lake in just one day.

However, when the group of Ross veterans disembarked, he realized that something was wrong.

fighting?

These soldiers had obviously just fought a battle.

Both Rigus and Medwait sensed the warrior’s hostility. Judging by their looks, they were clearly defeated.

Rigus approached Otto with a cane: “My lord, something bad happened?”

“You?!” Otto raised his foot and kicked Regus, kicking the old man directly.

This kick startled all the onlookers.

Otto immediately scolded and accused: “You idiot! Why didn’t you tell me that those guys in Pine Needle Manor rebelled? We were ambushed and I almost died!”

Rigus was stunned, and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Medved hurried to meet him: “My lord, is what you said true? Those guys rebelled?”

“Exactly!”

“We don’t know about this matter at all. My lord, we have no intention of deceiving, there must be some conspiracy in it.”

“I don’t care!” After all, Otto is not someone who is prone to lose control of his emotions. He suppressed his anger and said fiercely: “They chose war, and they are looking for their own death! Medved!”

“exist!”

“Immediately gather your flag team and prepare for defense with armed forces. The entire White Tree Manor is very likely to be attacked by them, and you must remain on guard. I will contact New Roseburg immediately, and a support force will arrive soon. I will also Inform Rurik and ask him to come to Novgorod first and gather at White Tree Manor! Do you understand? If you can’t hold it within ten days, your manor will be overthrown by them!”

“I understand! But… the old prince, aren’t we going to attack Karelia in the north?”

“Fight the traitor first! Then hit Karelia! Rurik must listen to me on this matter. The Ross people have always had revenge, so go prepare!”

Otto’s work efficiency was first-class, and that night, the sailing destroyer Neptune floated along the Volkhov River to the Great Lake with an alert from Novgorod.

Otto’s message was very simple, ordering Conuson of New Roseburg to bring at least five hundred men.

Whether it is the Ross, the Ostara, or the Slavs, take five hundred people and rush to White Tree Manor to suppress the rebellion.

From Novgorod to Novosburg at the mouth of the Neva River, the round trip is almost 700 kilometers!

For the Rus, who now have large ships, such journeys are not extreme.

Otto considered that it would take some time for Conuson to assemble the army, so he gave New Roseburg a more relaxed time.

He himself is not sure enough, but White Tree Manor is different than before. They exclusively enjoy the key attention of the Duchy of Ross. Not only is the population larger than before, but a small group of Ross people have always settled here.

The settled Ross people are almost countable with one hand, and their main purpose of existence is actually surveillance.

Once Otto arrived, it was equivalent to the real master coming to White Tree Manor.

The Neptune returned overnight to convey the message, and the next day, Otto ordered the people of the White Tree Manor to gather.

Standing on an ox-drawn two-wheeled cart, he preached in Norse to the gathered crowd of more than 2,000 people, surrounded by the instant interpreter of the old Rus who stayed behind.

Otto’s preaching made ordinary people tremble, but those guys in Pine Needle Manor actually chose war.

Perhaps there were signs of war many years ago, and now the war has broken out.

His words also intentionally poked the pain of the people of White Tree Manor. Originally, everyone lived by the lake, but they were driven here by the greedy Pine Needle Manor guys, so that everyone went fishing in Lake Ilmen with fear.

It is obvious to all that everyone’s life has suddenly improved after being completely on the big boat of the Ross people these years.

Fight with the Ross people, destroy Pine Needle Manor completely, strangle the traitors, and make life stable.

Otto gave this group of people a very tempting promise, that is, White Tree Manor and Rose form a coalition, and eventually defeat Pine Needle Manor, not only to regain the life by the lake, but also to seize the losers’ land, and the tribute is very low The requirements remain the same!

For White Tree Manor, which relies on agriculture for a living, there is nothing more attractive than seizing the fertile mature fields by the lake.

They have been able to see Otto wandering around the manor every year for more than 20 years. After all, White Tree Manor is the first stop of the Rossorgon fleet over the years. As the saying goes, they are not very afraid of them after seeing them for a long time.

Otto has changed from a young man to an old man, and the power of the Ross people has also expanded.

Most people in White Tree Manor have never seen Rurik, they only know that he is a blond boy, handsome and fierce at the same time, very young and very good at war.

Both of Rigus’s daughters were married to Ross people. People were expecting Rurik to bring Svetlana to White Tree Manor. Maybe this war would force Rurik to bring an army arrival?

】

Otto’s messenger did carry such a request: the army to crusade against Karelia will not go north first, but go south to crusade against the rebels first.

No, White Tree Manor gathered more than 400 soldiers of the so-called Slavic Banner Squad at once, and Medved started his old profession as a Banner Captain.

In principle, the Slavs fought in the same way as the Varyagros, and women would also take up arms if there was a war.

As long as we keep a tight guard for ten days to protect the farmland and other property, everything will be safe.

Men and women throughout Whitetree Manor were actually armed, even with sharpened wooden poles.

Otto was here, and he found that he had actually organized an army of more than 600 soldiers in one day.

Even though he had killed as many as thirty old brothers, the soldiers in front of him had actually been to Gotland to participate in the decisive battle.

They have seen the world, but they are much more stable than those brave farmers in Pine Needle Farm.

However, the guys at Pine Needle Manor are reckless precisely because of their limited knowledge. They don’t know what it means to die suddenly in battle, so they must also be enthusiastic about war.

For the sake of prudence, or mainly because he is old.

Otto ordered the Spellosvillea to lead the Jupiter and the Saturn, and the three ships were directly guarding the mouth of the Volkhov River in Lake Ilmen. One was to deter the enemy by force, and the other was to scout the enemy. trend.

In White Tree Manor, Otto became the current supreme commander, and Medved followed his example.

He has 600 elite soldiers. In theory, all the people in the manor are soldiers. All men, women, old and young who can afford an axe, the optimistic force has reached more than 1,000 people!

Vadim, who seized power, was completely unaware of the radical plots suddenly adopted by the Rus after the attack.

In other words, Vadim is also actively managing his own business.

At least this young man did not continue to visit every house. He began to act like a real prince and began to “armedly lobby” counterclockwise along the shoreline of the lake with his cronies, recruiting troops for his cause.

Neither side is naive, Otto never appeases, and Vadim has no illusions because there is only hatred in his heart.

A big battle is inevitable, but how the war is fought, the boy Vadim has nothing to say.

Because neither Otto nor Vadim is the protagonist.

When the attack happened, Rurik was about to start his expedition to the east, and messengers bearing the sad news of the rebellion of the Novgorod natives were already waiting in Novorosberg.
