In the early morning, the sea was covered with thick salt spray, which made people afraid.
"Otto, maybe it's not suitable to go sailing now. Wait until the fog dissipates..."
"No!" Otto rejected his brother's suggestion, "Are you worried about my brother? Are you still afraid of the fog?"
Faced with his brother's question, Ogier immediately denied it: "I'm not afraid of those threats, and I'm worried about the things under the sea. "
"Big sea worm? Are you worried that it will destroy our fleet?"
"It does exist, and we must remain vigilant."
Watch. The nervous look in his brother's eyes made Otto feel nervous.
My brother is right.
This vast sea area is rich and dangerous. Huge warships are likely to be destroyed by monster attacks.
In addition to monsters, the fleet needs to be wary of those island fishermen. Because today, the fleet is about to pass Gotland!
Are you going to continue spending time here? no!
Because Otto knew that the beach they were on might be discovered by other tribes.
That is another group of people, speaking another language. They are weak in terms of combat, but they are numerous!
Otto thought for a while and made a firm decision: "Even if there is fog, we must set off! Be careful, we will be attacked by people on the shore."
In fact, Ross It is the people of Balo that tribal chief Otto is worried about. Today, these residents living in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea are still a scattered tribe.
Assault them to gain more wealth?
No! Otto didn't want to do this just because the Baltic tribes were too poor. What's more, now, my biggest task is to transport all the wealth back home.
Because, there are not only his own tribe there, but also his wife who is about to give birth.
However, brother Ogier mentioned the fear in the team and that it needs to be reversed.
Otto put on his steel helmet, held up the long sword "Destroyer" with a ruby on the hilt, and gathered his subordinates around him.
"Brothers! Are you afraid of the fog? Or are you afraid of the monsters on the bottom of the sea? Don't be afraid. I will lead you as always. We will leave here quietly without attracting anyone's attention."
Otto's long sword "Destroyer" is a relic of his grandfather and a symbol of the tribal leader.
"Don't have any worries, we are invincible! If we encounter any enemy, we just have to fight! Brothers! If you suddenly see yourself sitting on a carriage and see The white-robed fairy is riding the horse. Don't worry! You are going to Valhalla and will fight alongside the gods!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd! . Even Otto's brother Ogier was worried aboutAlso weakened a lot.
People revere this sword and their leader.
Seeing that the tension in everyone's hearts had eased a lot, Otto did not say anything more. He continued to wave his sword: "Brothers, follow me home. Now, let's get back to the ship and get out of here!"
The people pushed the stranded warship to the sea, folded the sails, and began to paddle hard toward the north.
At least, that should be the north...
Otto stood on the bow of the ship wearing armor as always. He was not afraid of the fog at all, but he never thought that the fog would bring Special result - they yaw.
Otto could not accurately judge his position and heading in the sea fog, but he was a good navigation expert. According to his own judgment, the fleet was indeed heading north.
But the fleet had already yawed significantly, and they were getting closer to the west. When the fog completely dissipated, the people on the ship with good eyesight actually saw the islands in the distance.
"Chief, what is going on? What is the island in front of us?!" One of Otto's subordinates reported nervously.
At this moment, Otto’s face turned iron.
Fight? Fighting is of course possible, it is a way of life for all tribes in this bay, as necessary as eating and sleeping.
But Ogier has realized everything. He nervously approached his brother: "Brother, that is the island of the Goths. Shouldn't we go all the way north? In the end, we went all the way west."
"The matter has come to this, we must turn immediately. We must avoid fighting with them."
The low-draft and fast leading warship quickly changed its course. This time, They finally found the true north.
Otto ordered again: "Brothers, stay alert and beware of attackers."
With the order, ten warships gathered together, and those ships carrying the most treasures were placed In the middle, Otto's ship served as the flagship and was now at the head of the fleet.
They kept sailing like this and continued paddling until nightfall.
The fleet finally found an uninhabited small island. Like many islands in the bay, it looks similar and uninhabited, and some are just bare rocks.
People fixed the boat with ropes, and then, dots of fire appeared on the deserted island.
After a day of paddling, no matter how strong the warrior was, he showed fatigue. Even if he was tired, no one would take the transported goods privately, even if there was precious honey in them.
“We almost encountered those people today, but luckily we discovered the yaw in time.” Otto, who was still lying on the rocks and still attached to his body, told his brother his thoughts, “The fog came at the wrong time. , but starting tomorrow, our voyage will be smooth."
"Yes! I almost encountered the Goths."
< p>"IfIf we encounter them, they may not attack us! After all, we have strength in numbers. Sleep peacefully, my brother. ”Otto finally patted his brother’s helmet and fell asleep soundly.
This night, everyone rested very peacefully, because everyone believed that the road ahead It will be safe.
In even two days of sailing, everyone will be able to return to the tribe, where their father, brother, wife, and all the tribesmen are looking forward to returning in victory. p>But will everything go smoothly?
There is no shortage of people with excellent eyesight in this era. Otto and his warriors lit many bonfires on the deserted island, and they exposed themselves
p>Although the Goths left the island in large numbers hundreds of years ago, it is hard for people in the Gulf to imagine how they developed in the mysterious south.
But there are indeed a large number of Gulf people. Traveling to the south, a lot of wonderful news spread to the Gulf, and even to the farthest northern snow and ice land.
In fact, Otto's ancestors were pursuing this wonderful legend, but they did not do anything like it. Others headed toward the western exit of the bay to explore the unknown world, but headed straight to the east, and finally found another group of people living in the endless gentle land.
It was a group of people with wealth but weak fighting power. , now, they have surrendered to the Ross tribe.
The fishermen on Gotland discovered bonfires on the island in the night, and this important information was immediately sent back to the island. Who were the people who lit the bonfire? Are they allies?
The islanders came to the conclusion almost without thinking - they were the Siyans.
The Asians, hundreds of years later, formed the most powerful tribe among the Swedes.
