Rise of Rurik - Chapter 647

[Chapter 648 All servants who surrender to Ross will be protected by Ross]

Very suddenly, Svetlana, who was standing on the deck, pointed to the village ahead and jumped excitedly.

She was strictly educated by her parents to be serious and cautious, but now she has completely recovered her mischievous nature.

“It’s White Tree Manor! My home!”

“Is that so? White Tree Manor is indeed a big village.” Rurik was actually a little disappointed. He arrived in Novgorod for the first time. He thought he would see a purely Slavic city. Obviously they said The “new big city” should be a huge rural area.

In fact, the so-called Novgorod in the mouth of the locals is the title of a collection of farms.

Rurik built permanent walls, defensive towers, and dedicated docks, port cranes, etc. in the main settlements, which are detached from today’s Eastern and Northern Europe. It is Ross who redefines what a city is.

He arrived at White Tree Manor for the first time as a king, and arrived at the natal home of his wife Svetlana.

He can estimate the enthusiasm of the local people for him, and now is a particularly severe period, presumably the local people urgently need the absolute safety brought by Duke Ross’s army.

Of course, when Rurik saw a large number of ships on the shore, he confirmed that there was no war here.

Perhaps not necessarily, the traitor may have launched an attack and was defeated by his father and the local armed forces.

He still felt that the atmosphere was very delicate, and the war alarm must be real. As for the enemy’s situation, Knusson’s report must have been exaggerated.

What happened, only when I got off the ship and held a military meeting can I know.

The Aurora sailed to the shore and dropped the anchor, and several cables were thrown down. Those who disembarked early pulled the ropes and tied them to the nearby trees on the shore.

The entire main fleet came to a standstill, and the water of the Volkhov River was unable to wash it away.

Having learned some lessons from the battle in Britain, more pure oar boats were tied to the two sides of ships such as the Aurora.

The boat was lowered, and for the first time Rurik stood firmly on the land called Novgorod.

How could Svetlana, who disembarked with her, conceal her excitement?

She jumped left and right on the grassland near the landing site, bowed down and collected a lot of wild flowers, and casually made a bouquet and put it on her head.

“Does it look good?”

A lovely smiling face was all in front of Rurik with a sideways smile.

“It’s beautiful. It’s still some distance from your hometown. I want to see Otto and your father Rigus soon. Is Rigus an old man? I haven’t seen him yet.”

“It’s not too old.” Lanna pouted and protested slightly, and she retreated behind Rurik without doing anything else.

There are many reed swamps on the banks of the Volkhov River, and not everywhere are good landing sites.

The place Rurik chose was not bad, enough for 2,000 people to land and assemble without getting their boots dirty.

Almost everyone is landing. After all, the brothers have experienced continuous sailing for many days. They have seen a whole new world, and the brothers are excited at the thought of fighting new enemies.

Someone made a noise, holding a round shield high and roaring.

More people followed suit, and many people laughed.

They were clearly eager to fight, and they were about to fight as soon as they disembarked.

“The morale of the brothers is very good!” Arik leaned closer to his brother, and pointed forward again: “There are a lot of people here, all of us.”

“Yes. I’ve seen him all the time. The long beard is so recognizable.”

Rurik was talking about Otto, the old soldier looked very tough at first glance, obviously the assassination incident did not hurt a bit.

“Come on, bro,” he said.

A group of soldiers followed Rurik to meet him spontaneously. At the same time, Otto, Rigus and others were also extremely surprised.

Rigus tried his best to walk on crutches, panting heavily, and asked, “Is this the main force of Ross? Is Rurik really here?”

“He’s here. Old guy, can’t you see?” Otto smiled harshly.

“Rurik? I’m old and blind.”

“It doesn’t matter, your little daughter is also there. This is Rose’s main force, and we are sure to win!”

“Great. Ah! It’s like a sheet of snow. Is it true that I’m blind?” Regus couldn’t help asking again.

Otto wanted to laugh out loud, but Medved hurriedly explained: “Ross’ main fighters are dressed exactly the same. If there is no accident, they will wear blue-striped white robes all over, so that they won’t accidentally injure their comrades in battle.”

“It’s amazing.”

Rigus could no longer use his limited vocabulary to describe the mighty gunshots of the troops he saw. He finally saw his youngest daughter, Svetlana, and a handsome young man.

he?

Is it Rurik?

The eldest daughter, Lilia, was right.

Rigus followed Otto closely. Among the many burly Ross warriors, his stooped body was really unbearable. He was not obviously proud because his youngest daughter married a king.

The two Ross armies met on the lakeside meadow south of White Tree Manor, where the two generations of Ross’ rulers looked at each other.

Otto was excited, and clasped his calloused hands on top of his son’s head: “Boy, do you really think that the Karelians are a formidable enemy like Denmark? You brought the entire Russian army?”

“No, it’s just the three flag teams and the entire fleet.”

“This is the logging ax to kill the rabbit.” Otto shook his head.

“Perhaps, but now there is a sudden situation. Father, it seems that stupid attackers can’t hurt you at all.”

“Naturally.” Otto laughed wildly.

“I also heard that there are 10,000 enemies. Is this reliable?”

“Of course.”

When the news was confirmed, Rurik breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little pressure from the war, and his fighting spirit surged: “The enemy is very brave. If they choose war, they should be killed. This time I will bring the main force to deal with them.” , is also their glory.”

“It’s just big talk, but I like it.” Otto smiled again, and pushed out Rigus, the seemingly dull old guy.

At this moment, Svetlana’s calmness completely dissipated, and she rushed forward, not caring about other people’s onlookers, hugging her old father Rigus and acting like a baby.

In this scene, Rurik could only twist his shoulders to embarrass his woman.

With a fair and clean face, deep and sharp eyes with heroic spirit.

There is a slight blond mustache on the chin and lips, and the hair is slicked back and the golden ponytail is reflecting in the sun!

The dress is gorgeous, and the short sword hanging on the belt is full of nobility.

He is very young, clearly a teenager.

There is an essential difference between a boy and a boy. This boy is just standing here. The best adjective that Rigus can think of is God of War!

In the traditional beliefs of the Slavs, there is not yet a single main god. The Ilmen Slavs living in the Novgorod region highly respect the god of war Peron.

Peron is the God of War, Vulcan, and Hercules, the god who gathers all masculinities. It is the image of a burly man. It is expected that Lord Rurik will become as burly and strong as his father Otto in a few years.

“You are Rurik! Such a perfect man is like Peron coming into the world.” Rigus couldn’t help praising him, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand, lucky enough to touch Rurik’s face.

Rurik let the old guy touch it with a smile. After all, a large number of Slavic warriors in White Tree Manor stood here, and letting the owner of the manor be intimate with him was actually a means for the real king to show his closeness to the people.

Personally, Rurik knew something about this man’s past.

Rigus was not as crooked as he was more than ten years ago. He was an old acquaintance of his father Otto, and he was also a “loyal old servant”.

Rigus is indeed an old man, such an old guy actually has a beautiful little daughter.

No, Svetlana’s older sister Lilia was also very beautiful.

They are all this old guy’s species, Rurik can only feel the wonder of a life.

Perhaps not only that, because this guy Rigus is the owner of the manor, and he has great power to marry a beautiful local woman, and the daughter he gave birth to is naturally beautiful.

“You are Regus.” Rurik asked in fluent Slavic.

Rigus was taken aback, “Are you better at our language than Master Otto?”

“Exactly, there is no obstacle in the communication between you and me. You are Svetlana’s father, and now I see you. It is a pity that you are old and may not be able to witness some great things anymore.”

Regus didn’t think too much: “You are the most handsome man I have ever seen, and you have the greatest army in the world. And I am your loyal servant.”

The old guy’s flattering words caused Rurik to be a little surprised. Most of the polite words were superfluous. He shook his head: “I still have some important matters to ask you. Let’s go, I want to enter the White Tree Manor.”

“Then… invite your army to come to my manor as a guest, and I will provide delicious meals and hospitality.”

Rurik heard that this was still a polite remark. In essence, Ligus was really willing to welcome the army from afar, and he was willing to provide a batch of delicious meals to support this powerful army.

Irurik denied this point, saying that you are “afraid that my people will eat up your warehouse”.

So is the benevolence of the monarch, so is the arrogance of the monarch, and even more so is the wisdom of the monarch!

Rigus discovered that the main force of Ross was guarding the fleet and setting up tents in the forest near the village. They actually intended to camp instead of disturbing the people of the manor.

What a merciful king!

Sentence directly against the patricide villain Vadim.

The actions of Rurik, the Duke of Ross, were all seen by the people of Baishu, the calf, and the fishermen’s manor.

The people of the manor had already given Otto’s men a batch of supplies, and they basically provided them as tributes. If two or three thousand strong men came to eat, who could stand it?

What they saw was Duke Ross’s camping outside the village. They obviously had their own food and did not destroy the wheat fields. At most, they just stretched out fishing rods by the river.

The food that Rurik brought was enough for ten days, and he estimated that the pine needle manor of the initiator of the rebellion could be wiped out by violent means within ten days.

He has enough food reserves, and the initiative is in Rose’s hands!

That night, the main Ross army lit a starry bonfire.

Rigus did have the right not to provide material supplies, but Rurik could not, and he, Rigus, had to.

Not only Rigus, but also Toli and Uski. They ordered their subordinates to provide fresh meat and fresh fish to reward the counter-rebel army. The reason for their generosity was very pure. The two wanted to represent their manor in front of Rurik. Posing the image of a pug wagging its head and wagging its tail intends to grab a huge profit after victory.

Although the exhausted army was eager to go into battle immediately, they were too tired, and rushed to the shacks to sleep soundly after eating.

However, a group of young women wearing garlands, carrying some casks full of ale and kvass, appeared at the main camp of Ross.

This is a gift from the manor owner, why not drink the wine that was brought up?

As for the women who were sent to the door in person, they were required by the owners of their respective estates to work with skills that only they could display.

Rurik could have guessed what would happen in the camp. Essentially he was opposed to these things, but objectively they had some positive meanings that could be used.

Because, Ross will change the strategy that has been implemented for more than 50 years, and some things are better done sooner than later!

Rurik had already thought very clearly, he had a lot of time to plan new strategies during the voyage, and took advantage of the counter-insurgency opportunity to implement them smoothly.

That night, a large space in Baishu Manor was woodcut.

This building became the temporary chamber of the Duma, where the generals of the Rus’ army, important fighters, and skilled people gathered.

The locals, such as Regus of Whitetree Manor, and Tory and Usky, who escaped the war, were ordered to obey the new arrangement of the Duke of Ross.

The situation caught everyone by surprise. Lord Rurik, who had just landed, had boundless enthusiasm. He had no intention of going to a reception banquet or asking for anything. He only spoke because time was running out to arrange matters related to the war.

The oil lamps flickered in the wooden carvings, and a circle of burly warriors sat in the dim room.

As the Duke, Rurik sits at the core, and even Otto intends to take a backseat.

“Now, tell me about the rebels,” Rurik said in Slavic.

His rhetoric was aimed at Rigus, and Rigus reacted quickly, signaling: “Then let me talk about the hateful White Tree Manor…”

With a slightly hoarse voice, Rigus told about the crimes of Pine Needle Manor, and when he was excited, the old guy actually trembled all over.

“Enough!” The old father-in-law of the Rurik matter shut up, and saw the two defectors again: “Tell me what you saw and heard.”

Toli and Usky came to great spirits. They angrily denounced the stupidity of the rebellion at Pine Needle Manor, and accused Vadim, the patricide, as the root of all evil.

In fact, many manors were forced by Vadim to participate in the rebellion, but if those manors suffered a serious setback, wouldn’t it be because of their loyalty to the master that they fished in troubled waters afterwards?

Tory and Usky had a common interest, and they sang together, claiming that a large number of farms had raised the flag of rebellion, and that he was loyal and would sacrifice all his men to form an army to maintain the authority of the Rus.

This is the humbleness of servants!

Rurik was very satisfied to see them nodding and bowing, but also a little disgusted.

Because, they are just the dogs of the Ross people.

But there is a group of rebels across the region, led by a man named Vadim.

Rurik somewhat admired this rebel, at least the existence of this person and his subordinates proved that the locals still have courage.

Unfortunately, the rebels must die.

Rurik first asked the locals to explain the situation in Slavic, which he claimed was sending a positive signal.

After that, he asked his father Otto to explain what happened to him.

Before letting himself speak first, when it was Otto’s turn to speak, the old guy breathed out: “Want to hear what happened to me? Brat, if you behave kindly this time, I won’t allow it. The Pine Needle Manor should be wiped out.” .”

Some old soldiers were killed in a surprise attack, and the enemy suddenly broke out into a group of armed men. This year’s rebels came prepared, and the instigator was indeed the patricide from Pine Needle Manor.

Hearing these things again, Rurik no longer felt thrilled.

Papa Otto suggested that he kill all the chickens and dogs in Pine Needle Manor. Is this too cruel?

Rurik settled down, and he asked himself, if anyone in Northern Europe was called a ruthless butcher in this period, this epithet would undoubtedly be given to Rurik.

“I am kind to my own people, but I have always killed my enemies.” Rurik made a self-assessment. He did not agree with his father’s suggestion, nor objected.

This meeting was to discuss very specific matters concerning the crusade against the rebels, and Rurik basically thought of the tactics of the main force attacking the Pine Needle Manor.

Before the formal war conference, he decided to announce something of great importance.

Rurik clapped his hands vigorously, motioning for everyone to look over.

He showed a high-pitched voice and said: “As the Duke of Ross, I announce that the rebellious Vadim of the Pine Needle Manor who established himself as a prince will be wiped out! The thief and his family will be wiped out. When the rebellion is completely eradicated, the entire Nuo Fugorod will enter a new era.

I declare!

The fifty-year-old policy of sailing to Novgorod on the Sorgon will end with me!

Ross will directly rule this place and will settle here.

I declare that a real walled city will be born in White Tree Manor, and her name will be Novgorod!

It’s real Novgorod!

In the future, the tributes from each manor will be delivered directly to the city of Novgorod.

Novgorod, like Roseburg and New Roseburg, will become the third important city of the Ross Principality.

”

Rurik explained this decision in two languages. What a deafening decision!

Otto stood up in shock, and many soldiers got up in shock when he saw this.

“Rurik, this is too radical!” Otto couldn’t help saying.

Rurik just raised his head, gestured for everyone to sit down, and said calmly: “That is the fate of the Principality of Ross. All servants who surrender to Ross will be protected by Ross. Novgorod is a good place for farming. Here Despite the rebellion, I still see a large number of loyal servants. I want to build this place to become our greatest food producing area. I promise you that after I order the development, Ross and all the servants will live a good life. day.”

Otto sat down now, he didn’t quite understand Rurik’s rhetoric, good days are worth sharing with servants and slaves?

Are servants worthy?

What he thought of was the kindness of his son, and what was not necessary kindness.

But when Regus waited for the Slavs to hear it, it was as if someone handed a torch when the cold night was shivering.

Rigus completely believed in Rurik’s vision for the future, and those land reclamation artifacts, Quyuanli, were in the farm. I’m afraid this great vision has already been tried.

Lord Rurik decided to deeply cultivate Novgorod, and the people of White Tree Manor, especially his family, will get huge benefits.
