Rise of Rurik
Chapter 503: The Atlantic Ocean is ahead
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
The waterway converges to only three kilometers. This place is the narrowest throat of the Øresund Strait and the most natural sea pass.
Standing on the bow of the ship preparing to fight, Rurik has already seen the wooden walls and towers on the shore, while the floating ships on the sea are particularly eye-catching.
Rurik puts on his helmet. As the commander of all the brothers he uses, he consciously stands on the bow of the ship to meet the most violent impact that is coming.
It stands to reason that with the super maneuverability and amazing steering ability of the Aphrola, it is completely impossible to fight a knightly duel with the long rowing boat in front of him.
Fighting directly in the hinterland of the Danish-controlled area, and defeating their interception forces in a high-profile manner, was also part of Rurik's plan.
He thought he would be questioned by the local patrol, and then took the initiative to kill the opponent by surprise.
The situation has become serious now, which caters to his goals even more.
The bull slings placed on the deck have the chance to attack first, but the Aphrora, which is running wildly on the waves, allows them to have a shooting opportunity.
The fist-big stone smashed past, and it was in the center of the Danish Interceptor's ship regiment.
Eight stones threw amazing splashes near the oarsman, only two caused casualties.
An oarsman was killed directly!
Although a stone hit can only kill one person, the sudden death brought unprecedented horror to the other paddling brothers.
The intercepting Halik never imagined that his troops would suffer casualties first in this way.
It is a pity that what happened next surpassed the imagination of all Danish interceptors.
"Ah! This is a... big ship. Ah!"
Halick took off the iron helmet in extreme panic and jumped into the sea. After sinking into the water, he felt that his back was violently hit by a giant. He endured the pain of his heart and the cold water, just under the water. Struggling to take off his heavy iron-like clothing after absorbing water, in the end, like a plump elephant seal, he drilled out his wet head, grabbed some broken wooden boards and gritted his teeth while looking at the strange ship that had just rolled away.
The pain in the back can be tolerated, but the grief and anger in this heart can't be endured!
"Damn! Damn! Who are you? Don't leave! Get me back!"
It seems that the terrible big ship heard its own curse, really turned its bow and rushed towards the man who fell into the water...
The perspective is placed here on the Aphrodite. What happened just now?
A large number of enemy ships, a large number of enemies, their horrified faces are clearly visible.
Rurik held onto the wooden fence and screamed hoarsely: "Welcome to the collision! Hold on!"
Everything is just like the tactics that have happened on the entire route. The Aphrodite is so-called a trick, and it rushes directly with the use of the usual collision tactics with the help of powerful movement energy. What's even more amazing is that the interceptor forces have to form a dense ship regiment, and the Aphrodite just exerts her strongest tactical ability.
In the violent impact, Rurik almost didn't fall off the bow deck.
The Aphrodite was once again riding on a long intercepting ship, crushing all its opponents like a stone, not to mention that its potential energy was still strong, and it crashed the sides of the following two intercepting ships one after another.
In a magnificent "heavy cavalry impact", three long interception ships sank instantly, which naturally included the command ship of the entire interception force.
The warriors on the Aphrodite waited for the ship to stabilize slightly from the impact, and then released arrows from the deck, aiming at the enemy who was already at the rear with a blank mind. It wasn't until the Danish oarsmen saw that his companion had been shot through the neck and chest, that he put down the big oars and picked up the shields hung on the side to try to block them.
The command ship sank? ! Some people have discovered this, and more people simply don't care about it.
Rurik doesn't want to end this destined victory hastily. Since he wants to create an atmosphere of terror, let's expand the results!
"Pull the rope! Let's turn back!"
The sailors got orders, and their flexible bodies, like monkeys, moved quickly on the deck. In the stern tower, a simple bronze gear system operates quickly, and the rudder at the stern quickly locks an angle. In addition, the huge jib of the mainmast adjusted the direction of the wind, and the dual operation caused the Aphrora to directly tilt the hull to an astonishing 17° to the left. It was making short-distance steering in an extreme way, and such a crazy move shocked all the enemies.
The drowned Harik couldn't use his own insight to explain what he saw before him. The big ship was turning at the risk of capsizing! However, the big ship quickly recovered its stability, and slammed to the intercepting troops that were already in chaos.
A new round of collision did not happen, and the interceptors who had taken a long time to learn from their wisdom knew that any contact with the monster would cause the ship to destroy and kill.
They began to try to fight back by taking off their armor and leather jackets, and throwing arrows at the enemy ship with a short wooden bow.
Rurik squatted down in a hurry, revealing his iron helmeted head and a pair of eyes.
"You finally started to fight back, the methods are nothing new."
The opponent's arrows are weak and weak, and the so-called counterattack is simply symbolic. Rurik's heart was beating wildly, and he saw that his men were fighting back frantically, and the torsion slingshot and crossbow were performing condescending attacks.
The two sides of the Aphrora were performing firepower strikes. After the torsion slingshot projectiles smashed a ship and killed some difficult enemies with arrows, she circled the formation of the volleys that became loose due to the chaos. Completed the second round of the contest.
Rurik was still not satisfied with such a victory, he held up his sword and screamed: "Keep on fighting! Turn around and fight on!"
The people who killed the red eye were eager to continue the fight, and Rurik followed this momentum, and the Aphrodite began the third round of strikes.
At this moment, Harik, whose back was red, had been picked up on the boat by his subordinates.
He wanted to say something, and from the corner of his eyes he saw the big ship turning short distances.
The panic in his heart affected his head, ignoring the pain and cold, he trembled his mouth and commanded the same panic: "Run away!"
"My lord! Other brothers..." someone asked subconsciously.
"Idiot, leave the others alone. Let's run away! If we don't leave, all will die!"
It is indeed shameful to run away, but in the face of this desperate battle, the Danish volleys have lost all their faith, and only the desire to survive is left in their hearts.
What was the result of Rurik's third round of attacks?
The enemy's interceptor group collapsed completely, and the surviving ships fled unorganized.
"They all escaped. Do you want to continue pursuing?" Biyuni asked loudly, putting down his crossbow, stretching out his hand.
Rurik raised his head and watched. Indeed, many enemy ships were fleeing towards the wooden wall fortress on the shore.
"Stop chasing, we don't have the ability to attack their fortress. Let's go, the enemy already knows how good we are."
The thrilling battle ended with the victory of Rurik again. There was a generation gap between the fighting methods of the two sides, and Rurik alone succeeded in winning.
The Aphrodite is only the second year of launching. She is already the sea victory of the Ross people. During this voyage, new small scars have been added to her hard oak hull, just like the scars of a brave warrior. , These scars should prove her strength.
After the mere killing, the people on board let out a sigh of relief. Everyone finds that the sea has become wider, and many people think that the big ship has entered the legendary "sea at the end of the western world".
Rurik criticized people showing signs of slack: "Don't be complacent! We are still in the Danish control zone! We have not even passed the northernmost point of Jutland, or even Oslo!"
However, for everyone, the concept of the so-called "Jutland Peninsula" is unfamiliar.
Even Rurik is new to "Jylland". Its original meaning is actually the local people’s name for the cloth woven by linden fiber hundreds of years ago. People need European linden fiber to make linen cloth, but time has passed. The "valley farmer" Danes occupy this small world, and the linden fiber textile also allows Located in better linen weaving.
Because the Danes have completely become the masters of this area in the past three hundred years.
All the Anglo people who used the fishhook as their clan name immigrated to Britain, and the Saxons who used the dagger as their clan name also withdrew from Jutland. The Danes who are good at farming naturally took possession of these vacant areas, and now they have become a small overlord of the area.
But the Ross of the northern oarsman tribe, her leader Rylik, provoke wildly under the nose of the Danes. However, the wise Rurik is revealing the fact that he is the "Svealand Alliance", and the so-called Danish anger will ultimately fall on the Mälaren people. As for the benefits of provocation, they were naturally swallowed by the Rus.
The Aphrodite entered the Kattegat Strait, which is densely covered with reefs and there are not many waterways that can permit deep-draft ships. It's just that even if the Aphrora is fully loaded with displacement, her draft is less than two meters.
In the current situation, no ships need to worry about the so-called reefs here. Only when the ships of all forces operating in this sea area have become large merchant ships with a full load of 1,000 tons, the risk of hitting the rocks should be considered.
The depletion of supplies on the Aphrodite is normal. Considering the risks in the sea, Rurik remains vigilant and combative.
There is still a large amount of ammunition on board, and the bronze head of the bulbous bow of the bow is still strong. These weapons ensured Rurik's belief in victory, and he soon began a new attack.
The fishermen of the Lobad tribe had no idea that they were fishing for herring in the sea as before, and they were attacked by a big boat that suddenly appeared.
It was not until the attack happened that the fisherman who witnessed the tragedy returned to his port and reported the incident to the tribe.
Things are fermenting, because many people watched the big ship with strange triangular sails, after performing the attack, it quickly rushed to the western waters.
What was happening in front of him immediately stimulated Hafgen's nerves.
The Danish leader is furious! He ordered the organization of a manpower to launch a chase immediately, but the big ship ran too fast, no matter how crazy the oarsmen were, no one could catch up.
After the fierce battle in the Øresund, the Aphrodite continued to advance at high speed. It was still on this day that Rurik sank five more small fishing boats that were actually the Robard tribe. An atmosphere of terror erupted rapidly and the entire strait The fishing boats were scattered in a short period of time.
When the evening arrived, Rurik was pleasantly surprised to find that a very wide waterway appeared in the southwest.
The big ship went through the battle and passed the northernmost point of Jutland in just one day! The Aphrora is facing the sunset, sailing in the Skagerrak Strait.
Just as night fell, Rurik saw the northern land. After nightfall, the ship can continue sailing or drop anchor on the spot. Considering that everyone in this sea area is very strange, he insisted on getting close to the northern coastline and then dropped anchor to repair it.
With a 30-meter keel, the Aphrodite can be called a big ship in this era, and the long voyage fully proved her seaworthiness in ordinary sea conditions.
The night concealed her phantom, and it was another thrilling day. People who settled down tasted the past day, and they all felt that the so-called tough Danes were nothing but so.
After all, Bijuni has the qualifications and abilities to be promoted to the leader of Balmerk, and he does not agree with his friends' contempt for the Danes. The reason why victory is so easy is that this big ship has all the advantages? She is like a floating fortress on the sea, not only indestructible, but also far faster than a rowing boat.
It was also this experience that Bijuni had only a new understanding of sailing ships.
Paddle boat? Is it still necessary? The coming era must be the era of sailing ships!
The deck became cold, but under the starlight and moonlight, people could barely see their respective outlines, and the cabins full of cargo were blackened.
Everyone put on blankets and talked and laughed at the battle during the day.
Biyuni didn't hesitate to stay by Rurik's side, and after a polite remark, he couldn't help worrying about his future voyage.
"Rurik, have we left the Danish rule?"
"Yes. I think we will soon reach Bergen's control zone."
"It's amazing. It's the first time I entered Bergen from the south. As long as I get to Bergen, walk along the coastline, I will arrive at my hometown in fifteen days."
Fifteen days? ! Actually there are still fifteen days? !
Rurik stood up with a shiver, "Brother, what are you saying is true? Is there such a long voyage?"
Bijuni nodded in the night: "I have been to Bergen many times, especially when the local leader asked us Balmerks to join their alliance. I accompanied my father ten million, and I was very clear about the route."
"Really? That's great." Rurik sat down again slowly, wrapped a leather blanket quickly, and asked softly: "You were riding a normal long boat at that time, right?"
"Indeed, we have to paddle all day long, and we will rest on the shore when night falls. You people in Ross must be very aware of the hardship of paddling after the name of the oar."
This Rurik totally agrees, and he also estimated the journey that the Ross long boat can usually take every day by simply paddling. Pure manpower is naturally stronger than the endurance of a sailless sailboat, not to mention the sails of the Aphrodite are more amazing.
Rurik closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "It will take fifteen days to paddle, and maybe Afu can finish that journey in half the time."
As he said, Rurik simply pinched his fingers and gestured: "It took us three days to depart from Roseburg to Tombstone Island. After a day of dressing, we continued to sail and arrived at Bornhall in only four days. Mu Island. We stayed on the island for three days and continued sailing. We reached the narrow strait in just one day, and after another day we reached our current position. By now, we have passed thirteen days. Now!"
Whether it’s Liurik, Bijuni, or even everyone on the ship, everyone is clearly aware that with the adjustment of the course, the ship’s voyage in the last two days has exhausted the power of the south wind, and the Aphrora is taking her The most extreme high-speed advance that can be achieved, and the daytime is getting longer by day, but tonight is almost fleeting, and sailing two hundred kilometers a day is extremely normal.
It's just that the voyage is difficult to quantify, and Rurik and others can only rely on their own feelings.
Even so, Rurik was convinced that he had sailed at least a thousand kilometers. So what is the truth?
Except for the three days of stay on Bornholm Island, the 13 days of Aphrora’s voyage, she spent most of the ten days sailing, she just ran for 1,600 kilometers and reached this era. The most amazing speed and continuous sailing journey of a sea-going ship.
The danger should be gone, and of course the enemy fishing boats that can be hunted have also disappeared. People believe that all the ships that they see on the voyage must come from Bergen.
The Balmerks just didn't want to join the Norwegian alliance formed by the residents of Bergen, which never meant that the two sides must meet each other. Rurik decided to follow Bijuni's advice completely and ordered the next voyage. The Aphrola refused to take the initiative to attack, and everyone's task was to drive desperately. Of course, if you are attacked, revenge is also fierce.
A new day is here, and for the people of the whole ship, this day's voyage is too boring. Everyone was unanimously forced to sail against the wind to a certain extent along the coastline. Until the evening, the world finally became wonderful.
Rurik summoned all the enthusiastic people on the deck, and all the nap guys were awakened.
A blond boy stood on the bow deck, his body turned orange in the soft sunset light.
Rurik pointed to the west excitedly: "Look! This is the legendary sea at the end of the West! But I want to say, if our big ship goes all the way west, we can reach Britain! There is no end of the world at all, UU Read www.uukanshu.com that island has a lot of wealth."
This statement is for all the Balmerks on the ship. After all, the aboriginals of the Narvik Fjord need a lot of valuable materials to buy Ross goods. At present, they have no more valuable than salt. However, they still have to get more good things to exchange with the Ross people. Rurik wanted to use this opportunity to once again stimulate Biyuni and other Balmerks' desire to make a fortune by plundering.
Rurik pointed to the north again: "Our Scandinavia! She is a huge peninsula! Now we are on her western coast, with Bergen ahead, and strong south winds will push us around the clock. Sail! Maybe ten days, maybe seven days, we will reach our final destination."
Bijuni planted the seeds of rushing to Britain to rob and make a fortune, but now, the desire to go home has taken over his whole body. The Balmerks are all cheering, after all, they have been away from home for almost a whole year. Who would have thought that he would go home in such a fantastic way?
The Ross people on the boat were also cheering. After all, the fourteen days of sailing with almost no docking was an extreme test for everyone's body and mind. People who were forced to stay in a discordant environment for a long time became anxious. Everyone is eager to usher in the end of the long course of victory as soon as possible, and they will follow Master Rlick and be honored to be the guests of the Balmerks.
