A large area of ​​water appeared in front, like a brand new sea? Ragnar, who arrived in the far east for the first time, quickly learned that this was a vast lake like the sea.

The fleet passed through the town of Ladoga and met the men who had been caught in autumn. Arik stood at the bow of the ship, his heroism was seen by many fishermen.

The fishermen are mostly soldiers of the First Banner Team. They just finished the autumn harvest and took their family to catch the perch on a boat on Lake Ladoga, and then grilled them directly on the shore to make dried fish for winter consumption. As a result, a small fishing village on the lakeside was thriving in a short period of time, and the perch, pike, and cod caught were also hung on the twine on the shore.

"These are all your people." Ragnar was surprised to hear about Arik for a while.

"Naturally they are all Ross people, all my brothers."

"I see them cheering to you, obviously your prestige is very high."

"That's natural, because I am the captain of the flag!"

Arik has attracted much attention, and many fishermen rowed over and heard the news about the expedition. The fishermen also noticed those long boats, there are a lot of strangers on them, will they always be new immigrants from Lake Mälaren?

The masses of people have seen the migration of a desolate Danish tribe this time, but they don't know their true identity.

If Ragner does not take the initiative to expose his identity, there will indeed be many people who think that a new group of immigrants from Sweden will return to Ross. After all, Ross has been digging Sweden's corner in the prosperous Lake Mälaren over the years.

The climate is late autumn, and the first snow may fall at any time, and there is often an autumn rain that lasts for a week before the snowfall.

The weather has been pretty good since today, and the most notable manifestation is that the north wind has become stronger. This is not a good sign, I am afraid a terrible cold current is brewing.

The north wind has a big advantage. The fleet entering the Volkhov River does not need to paddle anymore. It only needs to control the sails to quickly head south by the wind.

The almost pure north-south direction of the Volkhov River is really conducive to the fishing industry in the autumn. The boats go to Lake Ladoga to reef and raft immediately, and when they return, they will set sail and head south by the wind against the current.

The two sides of the river are in a state of silence. The deciduous forest has fallen leaves in a large area, and only the red pine and spruce still keep the dark green of their branches and buds.

The river is quite busy. It is precisely because of the large-scale production of hemp rope nets for fishing tools. Whether it is various Viking immigrants or local Slavs, fishing in Lake Ladoga has become a profitable thing. The targets of these fishermen are mainly pike and cod. These two fish are rare in Lake Ilmen, but widely abundant in Lake Ladoga. Their fat fish oil has great charm.

The environment in front became open, the forest suddenly disappeared and replaced by a large area of ​​bare farmland.

They are indeed farmland, which Ragnar can easily confirm by himself, only because the raised ridge divides the farmland into very regular blocks. The division of farmland is justified, otherwise how would two men judge each other's fields? These are actually the masterpieces of the Russ. The ridge established the land as a square of the same size, and they must have a meaning in doing so.

What Ragnar hoped more was to see the supreme ruler of the Rus earlier.

A large area of ​​fence appeared in front, and a pier where a large number of boats were moored.

"That's your Novgorod?" he asked.

Arik replied simply: "Exactly. You should prepare well, and I will personally inform you of your arrival. The prince is definitely willing to see you, please wait at the dock with your people for the time being."

"Okay! Hope I won't wait too long."

As far as the level of urban development is concerned, the entire Warm Tinovgorod has been in large-scale construction work, causing the city to become a large construction site for a while. The initial chaos has been greatly improved, and the city has become three-dimensional. Since the harvest, Prosperity is coming to the world.

Rurik could finally give himself a vacation safely, and he stayed in the palace, with his important wives and concubines.

The eldest daughter, Velika, gradually grew, and the eldest son, Regrav, had already reached the age of weaning and learned to walk.

The real second son, Karl, who was born to Carlotta, is also thriving.

Rurik hadn't been to Shilla Fort for several months, and when the high priest Lumia reconfirmed that she was pregnant and her belly was obviously enlarged, the messenger also completed the report.

There is no conservative etiquette restricting Rurik to create more royal family members. On the contrary, it is time for the legitimate queen of the principality to become a mother.

Rurik’s body is currently fifteen years old, but according to the traditional algorithm of the Rus people, after Hanukkah on the winter solstice, he is alive and well 16 years old. Even so, his appearance is not much different from that of an adult Nordic brawny, because he eats and drinks well in life. Although his height does not seem to be as high as two meters, it is obvious that he rushes to the equivalent of 1.9 meters.

Not only him, all the wives and concubines have been eating and drinking very well when they grow up, and their heights are also fast approaching genetic limits.

The fact is that Rurik is not in a hurry to let his wife Svetlana be a mother and give birth to a prince or a princess of the duchy, and her father Rigus the old and her brother Medved are even more anxious. Without him, this marriage was full of politics, and it was actually a bargain between two ethnic groups.

Svetlana should indeed be qualified, Rurik had already noticed that when she embraced the infant Regrav, the motherhood in her eyes was obvious.

She is only one year younger than Liurik, and she is still not a mother at her current age, and the Slavic people have come out with rumors and even rude remarks. There are indeed jealous people, claiming that the old fellow Rigus was engaged in speculation many years ago, and that his daughter is not as good as his own. Tongue chewers are afraid to say that she is "a hen who can't lay eggs", but the saying does exist.

The prince and the queen formally merged, and the union went straight to the birth of the prince.

While Rurik is indulging in his wife, he has not forgotten Noren, who plays the bone flute.

Even the ten maids appointed by his father for Rurik have received his message that it will be your turn next year.

The prince’s family is expanding the number of family members. With the ups and downs, the entire Principality has entered the richest period of the year after the autumn harvest, and all families are giving birth spontaneously.

This is not only the case for humans, but the large livestock raised in the principality are also the same.

The number of reindeer herds scattered in multiple settlements, which have swelled to 30,000 heads, is during the annual mating period. In theory, a large number of fawns will be born next summer.

The Principality still has to expand its strength in a special way. The aspect of this expansion is no longer frantically grabbing territory, but spending huge amounts of money for internal construction.

A school that can accommodate two thousand children is not enough! Novgorod will use its unique geography to become a safe education center, and will absorb tens of thousands of children to receive basic education.

To further develop a large number of handicraft industries, based on practical factors, is to build more state-owned workshops.

Just like this summer, there is no need for a large-scale expedition in the Principality, and there will be no expedition plan for the following winter, and there will be no expedition even next year.

More wealth created by the people will be invested in construction, especially for arable land and grazing pastures from forests, and further development of shipping and transportation.

Therefore, during the winter, he will not only stay in the palace to personally educate a small group of tomorrow's elites with higher knowledge, but also arrange and dispatch personnel for winter production.

Now, the fleet entrusted with the expedition is back!

After receiving the news, Rurik hurriedly led people out of the city to greet them, and the old guys in Ross, including the old Otto, also happily gathered at the pier to discuss the triumph of the descendants.

The current situation is very subtle. Even Rurik noticed that the men and women sitting on the long boat were not from their own tribe.

Rurik frowned and asked himself: "You? Who are you?"

A large number of people walked out of the city, and the riverbank was full of people watching the excitement. Their enthusiastic and smiling faces were like attending a wedding in a group. They took off their hats and waved spontaneously, yelling on their lips, and many of their actions were to welcome the returning heroes.

When we went there were two big ships, but now there are only grey squirrels left?

Rurik squinted. Wasn't the person standing on the deck of the Grey Squirrel the same as his cousin Arik? Next to him stood another young man with a beard and a strange braid, whose face was extremely strange.

"Brother! Did you recruit me a group of surrendered men halfway? It's a good thing if it's true."

Rurik murmured to himself, and when he saw the ships approaching the shore, he simply shook his neck and asked his confidants to come forward and take a look. At the same time, they also gave the spear fighters of Medvete, who was temporarily in charge of security, laid all the short spears flat to build a line of defense, so as to prevent the crowds from getting too close.

At the same time, Arik had long seen his lovely brother, the real Prince Ross, among those greeted out of the city.

Among the many people, Rurik was wrapped in a white fluffy leather coat and a white tiger fur hat, with a golden ponytail drooping behind his head. This figure could not be hidden at all.

"That's Prince Ross! He is wearing a polar bear leather jacket, so remarkable!" Arik had already pointed out to Ragnar.

"That's Rurik of Ross? Indeed, like a child. Dressed neatly, like a **** from Asgard."

Part of Ragnar’s polite flattery is also partly felt.

Arik smiled and patted Ragnar on the back: "Brother, Rurik is indeed a **** from Asgard. He has really been blessed by Odin. I have only one major piece of advice for you."

"Speaking."

"Talk to him, don't despise him because of his youth. No one in Ross is wiser than him."

"I will obey this."

Ross's Rurik is full of mystery, and it's fair to say that Ragnar had a great first impression of him.

Ships landed one after another, and the last people of the Danish Stonewall tribe, who were ignorant, landed ignorantly, and immediately stood by.

The big boats put down their rockers one after another, and Arik took the triumphant warriors into the boat with enthusiasm. He was the first to rush to his brother, extend his blessings to the family who greeted him, and solemnly declared: "I am against Frank. The action achieved a major victory."

Arik touched his younger brother affectionately, his rough face smiled like a rough flower blooming in the snow.

If they encountered setbacks, there would be no ecstasy as they are now. Rurik can be sure that Arik’s emotions are real, as is the victory of the expedition.

So, what price did the expedition pay?

Although it was a bit out of place, Rurik still asked: "You have paid the price? Are there any casualties with the brothers you brought?"

"No one died, only a few hapless men hurt themselves during the robbery!"

"Is there such a perfect victory?"

"Of course!" Arik was unable to suppress his ecstasy at all. This double beating on his chest roared like a gorilla, and then said proudly: "Brother, you absolutely can't think of how much victory we have won. We, no. Leme burned."

"You?" Rurik's eyes stared like brass bells, "I made you avenge your attack on Bremen, thinking that you had snatched a lot of wheat and wool and then evacuated. You actually attacked the city? It burned even after you broke the city. city."

"I even killed five thousand Franks, which is enough to avenge Hezeby's brothers."

"what!"

Suddenly a huge amount of information flooded in, and Rurik had to announce that these big things should be called a conference. The debriefing meeting is a must. Since this is a victorious expedition, the Principality should also write this expedition into a "War of Bremen", which will be published after printing to demonstrate to the public that the principality’s mighty power will boost morale.

Apart from the greetings, those ignorant foreign men and women are the objects of Rurik's most concern.

"You have brought a group of trust, are they all new immigrants from Mellaren?"

Arik paused, his joyful face instantly turned into silence, and he said solemnly: "They are all Danes."

"Ah? Danes? You brought hundreds of Danes into here? You... wait a minute." While Rurik was startled, he noticed a man with a weird beard and braid from the corner of his eyes, like a young two-year-old. Childlike, staring at him with a pair of eyes, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Lix simply turned the company to the side, and the two simply looked at each other, but the man actually took care of himself.

This was a breakthrough to eliminate embarrassment. Arik hurried back a few steps and pulled Ragna, who didn't know how to open the situation smoothly, to his side, so that he faced Prince Rose.

When it comes to height, Rurik is ten years younger than this Ragnar, and he is more dominant in height.

Rurik slightly arrogantly heard the news in a downward-looking posture: "You? Who are you? A Danish? These are all your people?"

Ragner came here prepared, he knew something about Sweden and Rose.

"Yes, we are all Danes. I know you, Rurik of Ross, the young prince of the Principality of Ross. You were part of Svealand. I heard that after those guys established their own kingdom, you separated from each other. I tell you bluntly, I have fought with you, attacked some tribes in Svealand, and I have killed many Swedes."

The content of what this person said really made the people present alert, and even the old Otto, who was crunching the fighting force, could not hold back.

Many people think that the Danish who appeared suddenly is provoking, are they not afraid of being killed?

"Oh? Is this what you want to tell me? Show off your great achievements?" Ruriek asked with frowning.

"Do I want to hide these achievements? I am a frank person. To be honest, there is a man named Olekin, he is the king of Sweden, I killed him personally."

"what?!"

"Don't believe it? At least I believe you drove the boat and killed King Hafgen of Denmark."

"I am indeed the one who killed Hafgen! Ross's Rurik!" Rurik emphasized. Now that it comes to this, according to tradition, the man who kills the famous hero must also establish his own name.

When Ragnar was asked about his name, he called himself without hesitation: "I am Ragnar. Many people say I am from Lancebrook."

Although this obviously and very strange nickname has caused many onlookers to cover their mouths and laugh, Rurik's reaction is completely the other extreme.

"What do you say your name is? Ragnar? Lancebrook?"

"it's me?"

"So, your father is actually called Sigurd Herringer (the ring)?" Rurik almost blurted out.

"Do you know my father?" Ragnar was surprised at the same time, Rurik was equally surprised.

Rurik never expected that the legendary big pirate would stand in front of him? Maybe it's just that the name is relatively close, but it's not at all. Or is it that the legendary Ragnar is just a legend after all, he can have a realistic character basis, after all, is the relationship between "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms"?

It seems that the man in front of him is the actual prototype of the legendary big pirate, at least now his name matches his father's name.

If so...

Rurik continued to ask tentatively: "You have multiple sons, the eldest son is Bjorn, the second is Uber, and one..."

Now, Ragnar has straightened his face: "Please go on."

"You have a poor son who can't fight. But even that doesn't stop him from becoming a fighter. His name is Ivar."

"But Ivar is my eldest son. Bjorn is my second son. If I can have a third son, I can call him Uber." Ragnar was shocked at first, and his attitude quickly eased: " It seems that you have insight into everything. Brother Arik said that you have been blessed by Odin? I never knew you, but you know my family and even my poor Ivar."

"Is the boneless Yvar really pitiful? I even want to see this child. I have a hunch that this child must be a formidable warrior. Then, please continue to talk about your achievements, except for killing King Olekin of Sweden, what other feats do you have?"

"There are many more. When I was fifteen, I personally chopped off the head of another leader. I was wearing these hard pants at the time. I led the elite to participate in the attack on Sweden. I killed the leader of the Ostala family. Later, when you attacked Gotland, I chopped off the head of the King of Sweden at Silvercastle in the south."

"Wait!" Rurik suddenly realized that there was a major problem in these descriptions. "What are you talking about? I know that you Danes have conquered Sweden, and our Rus ally, the Ostala tribe, was almost destroyed. You..."

"Does this make you angry? Friends, this is war. It's me! I duel with their leader, I won, I won upright. You can't call me mean."

"Tell me again, did you kill the leader of the Ostara family?"

Although feeling a great abnormality, in line with the pride of a warrior, Ragnar exhaled for a long time: "I did it. I saw the two children run away, so I ordered no chase. I didn't fight righteously with me. People, I disdain to kill, at least personally."

In the crowd of onlookers, there were two girls standing there all the time. They greeted the triumphant warriors as the wives of the princes and concubines. Unexpectedly, they heard a rant from a Danish lord who "traveled" to Novgorod. Because what this person said was enough to arouse the anger of the two girls who could not wait to eat their flesh.

Rurik suddenly turned his back. He noticed the changes in the expressions of Carlota and Ella. From the standpoint of his two wives, Rurik could say that Ragnar did indeed have enemies with him.

What's more, the Danes rushed into the territory of the Principality of Ross. Their current behavior itself is illegal. Having Arik as a guarantee just shows that Arik's consciousness is not enough.

"Medvet!" Rurik shouted sharply in Slavic.

"exist!"

"Take this Ragnar down! Bundle it up! All the other Danes are controlled and temporarily banned!"

"Yes!"

Rurik's madness came suddenly, and Ragnar was under control before he could react. Although the soldiers of the Slavic flag team are relatively short, they have fought many times in recent years and their living conditions have improved greatly. They have become extremely strong, and their clothing is also Viking. More than a dozen people rushed in, and Ragnar couldn't get away even if he wanted to.

"Why? Lord Ross, I thought I could form an alliance with you."

"Alliance? First tie you up and let me sigh. Ragnar, I will talk to you tonight. Soldiers, imprison them and take them away!"

All the Danish men and women of the Stonewall tribe were disarmed, and their leader Ragnarsli became a prisoner~www.readwn.com~ but Ragnar was not tortured, but was locked in a dark hut, armed warriors. Monitor closely.

Ragnar is a great pirate and not a virtuous person. According to the widely circulated "Icelandic Sakya", this man has been killing people and selling goods throughout his life, and his children are also large-scale pirates who kill indiscriminately.

Even looking at it, he can't say that he is not a mass murder outside. When it comes to killing, I am afraid that he is the craziest butcher. But Ross is different from those pirates. Ross is a normal and fast-developing feudal country. It is creating a better country in Northern and Eastern Europe. All wars have been eliminated in the vast territory, and economic life has entered the fast lane of development.

The noble prince didn't cut down the pirate leader for the first time, it was kind, not to mention that he and him were really enmity.

But look at the current situation of Ragnar and the group, no matter how you look at them, they all look like a bunch of poor and desolate worms.

Although there is hatred, the hatred here should also be resolved in some way.

Turning Ragnar into a black room is really frustrating its audacity, and it is really a killer operation. Taking advantage of this time difference, Liu Rick just got a window period for internal emergency consultations, and there is enough time to put the Carlotta sisters Soothed the angry mood.
