So, our male protagonist Liu Li was born as a baby in a small bay in the middle of Scandinavia. This place is also the settlement of the Ross tribe and is used by the Ross tribe. Simply called Roseburg.
But he is still a baby after all, and everything in his life requires the care of his biological mother.
After a few days, Liu Li finally figured out his situation. Could he accept the reality of today in an instant? Become a part of these ethnic groups who dress up like ancient humans?
However, I am just a baby after all.
Liu Li now has a lot of time to figure out his situation.
Before that, what he didn't know was that the biological father of this body was heading towards Fort Ross with hundreds of warriors and a large amount of wealth obtained through plunder and fighting.
At this time, Niya could clearly detect the abnormality of the child in her arms.
For example, children always look at themselves with their lovely big blue eyes, or look left and right, as if they have an extremely urgent hope to understand and remember everything they see and hear.
"Child, are you just like your father, with infinite desire for the outside world? Do you really want to explore the outside world?"
"Oh ! You are still too young. When you grow up, you will become a great warrior and even become our leader..."
Niya has many words of blessing for her beloved son. She also particularly hopes that nothing will happen to her child until he grows a beard.
However, when boys of all tribes reach a certain age, they develop fighting skills under the education of veteran warriors.
The Ross tribe, like all the tribes in Scandinavia, is not born with strong fighting power, but because they have a lot of time to hone their fighting ability.
Niya patted the child's back, trying to coax him to sleep, but the child still had his eyes wide open and his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something.
It is completely difficult for Niya to understand these situations. It seems that the only thing that can explain it is the prophecy of the female elder. This child is an extraordinary person. He has been blessed by Odin, and his life will surely bring blessings. Tribe brings glory.
Niya was pleasantly surprised by this. As time went by, she paid more and more attention to another major event - the warriors who went to collect the tribute from the Sweg people were probably due to return in the next few days. .
She is like many women in the tribe, who are looking forward to the return of their husbands and sons with a lot of wealth.
In the past few days, the atmosphere in Roseburg has become increasingly lively.
People have begun to talk about the wonderful goods brought back by the so-called warriors, which will be distributed according to the family, and will eventually be in the hands of each clan member. By then, how many treasures will fall into your hands?
Niya knows best that the world has changed.
As for the distribution of spoils, she heard that in the time of her ancestors, the men and women of the tribe, even the youngest children, were entitled to a share.
Nowadays, it is men who go to fight, and it is men who travel thousands of miles to collect tribute. Naturally, the power of men in the tribe is getting higher and higher.
Now, only men who have experienced the coming-of-age ceremony have the right to receive distribution.
The so-called coming-of-age ceremony, for grown-up boys, is to prove that they are real men by participating in a battle.
So as the leader's wife, Niya knew very well that her small family could get rich rewards from this operation.
The wealth came just in time. In this way, the small family has enough wealth to be able to raise the little guy in his arms well through the first winter of his life.
Finally, the warriors’ fleet is approaching the port of Fort Ross!
Tribal fishermen fishing for Baltic herring in the open sea were the first to spot the approaching fleet.
First of all, the fishermen maintained the greatest vigilance.
After all, in this era, fishermen also work part-time as "sea heroes". If they find a lonely fishing boat from a non-allied tribe, the fishermen of the Ross tribe will not mind looting it.
This time, a large fleet of ships raised their wide sails, and they approached the port under the influence of the autumn northeasterly wind.
People with excellent eyesight immediately understood that the person coming was not an enemy, it was entirely because of the leading warship in the fleet, whose sails were printed with a unique texture.
That is the pattern of two oars placed crosswise. Having such a pattern is actually a great achievement for the Ross tribe.
Speaking of which, the pattern on this sail was not made by the Ross tribe themselves.
The "rockable oar" is the origin of the name of the "Russ" tribe. Although the tribe has mastered the linen weaving technology, it is very lacking in cloth printing and dyeing technology.
All the "oars" that symbolize the Ross tribe come from the tribe's allies, those Siyan people in the south.
After all, the Siiya people are a large alliance of tribes, and the Ross tribe is essentially a part of them.
It’s just that the Ross tribe is located too far north. The tribe intends to maintain its own initiative, but it also hopes to maintain peace with the “brother” tribes in the south, or at least avoid conflicts.
All the cloth printed with oar patterns was made by the allies in the south, so some dragon-head warships of the Ross tribe sewed them on the sails to declare their friendly status to their own people and allies. You can also announce your presence to enemies.
Otto, standing on the deck, deliberately lowered his sails to announce his victory to the tribe’s elders. He also ordered all rowers to keep rowing. In addition to accelerating, they also constantly adjusted the course.
Otto soon met the tribe’s fishing boat. After a brief negotiation, the boatThe team advances further.
While accompanying the fishing boats, they saw a completely different scene than when they set out.
I saw some warships towing some small boats with cables, and the decorations on their bows were definitely not the style of their own tribe and allies.
The fishermen even knew with their toes that Captain Otto’s voyage was by no means as simple as collecting tribute. They had experienced battles! And it’s a lot to ask for!
Yes, hundreds of Otto’s warriors fought with a group of Gotlanders on an unknown desert island. The biggest gain was a large number of weapons.
Although iron smelting technology has been spread to Scandinavia, known as the "Dark Land", in fact, the rocks in many desolate hills here are originally iron ore. All Viking groups have the ability to burn charcoal and use it to smelt iron, but they prefer to obtain the enemy's metal through battle and take it back to their homes to smelt it into the tools they need.
They can actually mine mines and extract pure iron by burning stones.
Especially in the territory of the main Siiya tribe, there are a large number of iron ore veins hidden there. The only thing they lack is the eye for discovering ores!
So, Otto followed the traditional idea and took away all the enemy's battle axes and swords.
The death of his younger brother in battle is certainly a painful thing, but it is also a great pain for the son he left behind. So as the child's uncle, Otto knew very well that according to tribal tradition, he was about to succeed his father.
Home, a cold yet warm hometown, is just ahead, that little bay, that happy Fort Ross.
Otto looked around and saw that there were already a large number of ships heading towards the fleet.
Otto, he has heard the cheers of his tribe!
