Rise of Rurik
Chapter 539: Leave and return
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
A large amount of trophies flowed into the society of the Balmerks, people cheered for the triumphant heroes, and the young people of the tribe eagerly wanted to be participants in the next expedition.
The returning soldiers are telling their experiences in Britain. They tout their own strength and belittle the weakness of Northumbria. They especially praised the fertile land and mild climate in the area. The farmland cultivated by the locals is like a treasure waiting to be accepted by the Balmerks.
Young people suffocated their energy and wanted to explore, while some older people understood the risks of this expedition.
Looting the spoils, taking a large number of women abducted, and understanding of distant lands, the price paid for these was the death of more than 300 young people for various reasons.
There are too many Balmerks in the Narvik Fjord!
The deceased must have not survived the test of God if he died after a long voyage.
Only the coward would refuse to expand abroad because of the risk of shipwreck and battle. For a time, young people could not find the direction of expansion because of their narrow vision. Now the situation has changed.
Bijuni has a huge reputation. He is the great hero of the Balmerks. After his brothers follow him, they will be able to make a fortune in the British Isles, bring one or two women captive, and give birth to a lot of children, and live a happy life. Boundless.
When he returned, Chief Magnut was anxious that all the family chiefs were discussing the receipt of the expedition in the slightly old chamber of the tribe.
The young people support Biyunni's martial arts, but the noble leaders in these tribes all know that the key to their victory lies in the correct command of Rurik of Ross.
They were blowing rainbow farts to each other in a happy atmosphere, as if there were all fighting heroes sitting in this room.
Finally, Biyun inevitably talked about the shipwreck when he returned.
"Based on this matter, we urgently need a big ship." He looked at the leader's father, "You still need to decide on this matter?"
"Me? My attitude is to buy, never hesitate."
After that, Chief Magnut turned his head and glanced at his daughter Nolen, who was lying on his side and resting on Rurik’s lap, and asked directly, "You have already discussed the purchase of the boat. Now we have received a large sum of money. Money, you don’t have to make salt to exchange it."
"No, our contract is still valid."
"Oh? Isn't it true that when buying the Ross ship, we must limit the purchase with salt? Maybe our agreement can be adjusted."
"Of course it is possible, and I am not a stubborn person. However, we Rose need your good salt. When your coins are used up, salt is your currency, at least I approve of this."
Magnu nodded characteristically, knowing he didn't need to say more.
He sighed softly, "Rurik, my boy. When are you going to return?"
"Just for a few days, maybe two or three days."
"So anxious?"
"Master Chief..."
"No!" Magnuth smiled pretentiously with anger. "You want to call me father! I wanted to stay with you for a while, but it seems that it really doesn't work?"
"Yes. This time we are going to cross the Danish territory. I will return to Roseburg. I am afraid I will have to sail for another 20 days. Father, I know you can't bear Noren. But if I delay the time, the ship will be an ice sea. Obstruct. I want to go home before the sea freezes."
The ocean freezes? This is unimaginable by the Balmerks who sit on the ice-free port in Northern Europe.
The son-in-law Leurik greatly helped all the Balmerks. It is human nature to keep the landlord's friendship with a good reception, and it is really inappropriate to keep him at the wrong time.
Magnuth thought for a while: "Then be prepared. Since you are going to cross the Danish territory, you need more soldiers to defend. So let me choose fifty men for you, and follow your big ship to Rose. ."
"This..." Rurik instantly thought that behind this suggestion was the expectation of an old father who spoiled his daughter.
"Father, I won't treat Nolen badly. I don't need a lot of guards by her side. My Ross Principality is strong and safe."
"But she also has to have some maids."
"It doesn't have to be. Because she will live with my parents. My mother will treat her as her own daughter. You don't have to worry about her having a bad life."
This is heartwarming enough, Magnuth shook his head, "I believe you are a human being, but your ship still has to pass through Denmark. When you came, you sank a hundred of their fishing boats. Wouldn't they have revenge."
"I have no fear. My big ship will easily crash any enemy ship."
How was Magnut convinced by such optimistic comments?
His stubbornness had to make Rurik think about it, and he would simply count it.
"Let's do it." Rurik raised his head, considering his situation, and said: "I like the young people of Balmerk. They are excellent fighters. I need to expand my mercenary guard. The port recruits fifty soldiers who intend to go to Ross. From now on they will fight for me and will protect your daughter."
"This is good." Magnuth patted his thigh without any worries.
In fact, for Nolen, she naturally has no worries about going to Rose alone, this is her destiny as a woman.
On the second day of his return, he set up a recruitment list near the berth of the Aphrora.
In just one day, fifty new mercenaries were recruited.
In this matter, Liurik almost appointed the mercenary captain Jeflo to complete the matter, and the result was quite remarkable.
Until the evening, Rurik appeared at the big ship's berth, reviewing these new mercenaries with a strong sense of freshness.
Yevlo hurriedly ran to report: "Everything is done properly."
"Are they all the most ordinary men? They are all poor people who deliberately left their homes?"

"Yes, sir. They are almost all fishermen. They have been helping the owners of boats. They are not under the hands of nobles. These people have nothing but strength."
Rurik nodded, and he looked up at these men again, consciously he was the soldier he wanted.
He asked Evlo again, "Did you tell them about our treatment?"
"After talking partly, everyone is very happy."
"Of course. To eat mine and wear mine, I have to give them money, and even find them a woman."
Jeflo immediately emphasized in a low voice, "My lord, I didn't talk about looking for a woman."
"Well, what I care most about is their loyalty."
"I will train them." Yevlo emphasized, patting his chest.
"No, they need a battle to prove themselves."
Jeflo was taken aback, "My lord, you said that Rose will not fight this year, so next year you plan to..."
"Perhaps, but if we can, we still need some time to accumulate our strength. We have to cross the Danish control zone, and the battle is almost inevitable. Now equip these people immediately, and you quickly train them to use torsion slingshots and catapults. Also, they People who can use bows and arrows in the middle school immediately picked me out."
"Yes! Your lord, when will we return?"
"We will rest tomorrow, and we will return to sail the next morning."
Rurik's intention was to leave quickly, but Noren was married to Rose after all, and her natal family wanted to bring a batch of dowry to her daughter.
The dowry Rurik has seen it. Only in terms of commodity value, it is far less precious than the "luxury goods" produced by Rose, but for this girl, it is the love of her parents.
Of these pretends, only two musical instruments are of most interest to Rurik.
Ten bone flutes made of eagle leg bones, and a small cowhide drum. These musical instruments are most suitable for ritual activities. The musical instrument is the musical instrument. Norren’s sound is really good. With these musical instruments, Rurik feels that she can ask her to spend a winter time and number her subordinates from A to J. She is a Slavic maid, all trained as musicians.
On the afternoon of the day before the scheduled appointment, the sea conditions in the fjord stabilized. Even if the heroes triumphed, it would be a small number of people who won the spoils.
On the morning of this day, the priests of Balmerk dispersed and held more than thirty weddings for the men of the tribe.
The soldiers who participated in the expedition brought the newly arrived women, most of them were 14-to-five-year-old Northumbrian girls. The bridegroom of Balmerk took the crying bride and completed the Viking-style wedding under the auspices of the priest. .
The brides lamented their fate of being taken captive to the country of barbarians. What is most difficult for them to accept is that accepting a barbarian marriage is tantamount to betraying their own God. They discovered that they must swear to a barbarian god, and that they can only compromise due to the status quo.
The priests are extremely busy these days. They have to preside over four hundred weddings in a few days. Even if the ceremony is forced to become simple, it still takes a lot of time to organize.
They will still be busy in the afternoon.
But people in the port area suddenly discovered that the big Ross ship named Aphrora had suddenly pulled anchor and set sail.
Is it possible that Rurik of Ross is going back to sail? No way! Isn't the agreed date tomorrow?
Some fishing boats suspended fishing, and the fishermen felt that the big waves that the big boat stepped out were full of charm. They knew that this was not a departure at all but a military exercise after watching them up close!
A small and badly damaged fishing boat, it should have ended up being towed ashore and chopped with an axe, as the owner's winter firewood.
The rotten ship was bought, and it was placed on the sea swaying with the waves.
The Aphrodite was cruising by its side, and Jeflo was already instructing the newly recruited brother to manipulate heavy weapons.
"I've already told you the essentials! Aim at the target ship! Shoot!"
Evlo gave an order, and one of the five torsion slingshots on the port side refused to launch?
He walked hurriedly, pinched the neck of the mercenary responsible for pulling the pin, and shouted sharply, "Why? Why not shoot?"
The young and ignorant mercenary soldier was suddenly dumbfounded, and muttered, "My lord, are we really going to shoot a piece of iron?"
"if not?"
"Iron is precious, we shouldn't waste it."
"Because of this? You don't care about this!" After that, Jeflo pushed the person away, personally lifted the "shoe tail" of the torsion slingshot and pulled the bayonet lightly, and the cast iron projectile hit the fishing boat.
Only one of the five projectiles was hit by Jeflo, and the old fishing boat had already started to flood.
He yelled: "You must read and listen to my orders! I am like your war chief, your family leader. Our duty is to defend the safety of Duke Ross and fight for him! This way you can all make a fortune. But , Any one of you who refuses to execute, or even hesitates, will be punished."
Jeflo ordered the hesitant man to be tied to the mainmast, and then his fellow villagers, with a "spirit infusion stick", beat his calf ten times to show punishment.
Yevlo couldn't help but sigh, these guys are really using wooden sticks to ram the legs of the same town. Maybe they are all doing their best?
"You have all seen it! In peacetime, you will suffer from hesitation if you hesitate, but on the battlefield, any hesitation will die! The weapons you manipulate can sink enemy ships and knock out enemy heads. You don't want to I think ironware is very precious. Now, continue shooting for me and sink the target!"
When Rurik set out, he prepared a large number of cast-iron bombs. He came here prepared and recovered most of the cast-iron bombs after the battle in Britain, so that now Yevlo had a chance to splurge.
This squandering is not about hitting all bullets. As the saying goes, the use of any long-range weapon is simply burning money.
Rurik hopes that the newly recruited brothers can become masters of heavy weapons in an instant, which is obviously unrealistic.
They must immediately go into training, and start everything in actual combat. Rurik authorized Jeflo to fire fifty cast-iron rounds, so that every mercenary fighter can fire once in person, and a target ship is not enough to fight.
Even if these people had no experience, they found that this heavy weapon was not difficult to use, and soon the target ship was sunk.
A lot of splashes exploded on the sea, and the projectiles were eventually knocked out.
Their training attracted a group of fishing boats to observe, and the fishermen saw the unmanned target boat sinking gradually in a lot of spray.
People were shocked. They couldn't imagine that a ship would be directly sunk by some kind of weapon.
Finally, the day of return.
Nolan woke up in a daze, she slept on the soft leather floor, grabbed her palms at will, and touched the faces of people around her. She subconsciously grabbed it and grabbed Rürik's ponytail.
"Don't pull my hair."
Noren suddenly sobered and wailed, "You also pressed my hair last night."
"It's dawn." Rurik sat up quickly, "We are leaving soon, you... say goodbye to your parents."
"Finally I'm leaving, okay..."
Even if it was his own destiny, Nolan left the boudoir with a complicated mood.
She hugged her mother Yingbjerg, kissed her father's face, and drank a glass of ale with her two brothers at home.
Bjorn could see the sadness of his sister, but this was not a real parting.
"Follow Rurik back and have a nephew for me in a few years." Bjorn's encouragement made her sad and shy.
Frocky brought real comfort, "Sister, don't worry about anything? Every winter, we will go to Ross on the ice and snow road. You go to Ross first, and my eldest brother and I will go there in about two months."
Nolan was in a much better mood, so he wore a large pink corolla woven from heather and walked out of the home where he had lived for nearly eleven years.
When I boarded the Aurora named after "Dream Aurora" ~www.readwn.com~, I became Rose's woman.
Rurik put his arms around Noren's waist to bid farewell to Balmerk's friends.
The chief Magnut family has strong expectations for the new couple, but the couple looks childish, and the scene is really wonderful.
Those who came from the settlements of the fjord, they gathered on the flat ground of the pier, and also floated on the sea in boats.
The heads of the families came to see Rurric off in person, looking forward to Ross's ship going upside down again, leaving behind not only the big ship belonging to the Balmerks, but also a large amount of Eastern goods.
A arduous and dreamy voyage finally comes to an end, and it is also the very crucial end. Even if a fierce battle with the Danes is extremely likely in the future, Rurik is not afraid.
The Aphrora set sail, and she drifted to the fjord into the sea with twists and turns in the wind. After that, the large number of ships sent off, as if the Aphrodite once again led a huge fleet on an expedition.
This time, Rurik and his beloved ship, as powerful sea lone travelers, will return to Fort Rose on the fastest path.
