Every warrior who participated in the final action should get a share of the spoils, but due to their own luck, only half of the warriors participated in the attack on the deer herder.
The greedy nature makes the winning half eager to maximize benefits. Otto noticed this situation and he must think of a proper distribution model.
He convinced the doubters in the team and comforted the other half who followed Harold Johnson and missed the action.
In the so-called reasonable distribution method, those who participated in the action were divided into three deer, and those who missed the opportunity were divided into two.
In any case, the dozens of "lost" people did not participate in the final action, but they did give up their free hunting time and followed the leader to participate in tracking the deer herders. A new expedition, this journey has no merit but also hard work.
According to this distribution, there will no longer be any complaints among everyone.
All reindeer are tamed, and they are essentially not afraid of humans. Therefore, many Ross tribe warriors easily tied the deer's necks with hemp ropes and tamed them. As for the captured deer herders, all the men and the injured were dead, and the surviving women and children had their hands tied directly.
Like the reindeer, they were escorted by the victorious Russians away from their destroyed homeland.
Because Otto really didn’t know the language of the captives, he was actually prepared. If any of the captives didn’t cooperate, there would be nothing to say and he would just untie the hemp rope from their hands and exile them.
In such a cold day, without any supplies, a lonely person will soon freeze to death.
All the captives are smart. Although they are "tamed" like deer, at least the barbarians do not intend to hurt their lives. They can only temporarily obey the barbarians' orders and let them go. Pull.
The wind and snow are no longer cold, and the trembling Northern Lights seem to be singing a hymn.
The warriors of Rus returned with their loot to the forest where a large number of sleds were left.
They found their sleds and snowboards one after another, and immediately started their return journey.
According to common sense, they should rest for a while before rushing on. Everyone who is eager to return home is more willing to act immediately. Otto's mood is exactly the same. It has been too long since he left Roseburg counting the days. This year's The hunting trip to the north is seriously overdue. If we can't go back as soon as possible, God knows what chaos will happen in Fort Ross.
Faced with the temptation to go home, everyone thought of the fastest way to act.
Many people tied the deer with cables, and the other end of the rope was tied to the sled. The owner of the deer sat on the sled, watching over their luggage and other catches of the trip, beating the deer with a small stick to drive them forward.
Not to mention, most deer are obedient.
However, the situation of those captured deer herders is getting worse and worse.
As a leader, Otto divided everything for his subordinates.Deer, there are still a hundred deer that I enjoy in my turn. He had never gotten so many prey in one go, so he didn't have the ability to take care of the deer.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the captured deer herders, but the result was extremely bad.
Female deer herders who lost their husbands and elders have been immersed in nightmares, recalling the faces of their dead relatives. When they thought about the tragic experiences they would face in the future, they all wanted to die.
Not bad! Some prisoners just want to take their children to commit suicide, because in the eyes of some people, the future life will be nothing but humiliation and suffering.
The journey home is a long expedition. If a person is not properly kept warm, wind, snow and low temperature can easily kill him.
Even the Ross tribe and deer herders who have lived in a cold world for a long time will die in just a few dozen minutes without the protection of animal fur.
Maybe dying in sleep is a kind of happiness...
The journey lasted for a long time. When the short sunshine ended, Otto and his group and their huge herd had returned to the so-called Advance to base.
They spent the night here. Otto, who was full of hope for the future, killed a few deer and rewarded his men with barbecue.
Of course he would not ignore the deer farmers, and gave them some roasted venison.
Herd of deer! They are all our herd! These barbarians...
Otto thought that the deer herders would also be forced to eat these barbecued meats due to hunger. As a result, the adults chose to go on a hunger strike, and only the children were nibbling the pieces of meat, which was a sign of the future. The beginning of tragedy.
Otto was a little irritated. With the attitude of "eat it if you like it or not", he continued to hold the deer leg sprinkled with salt in his hand and devour it.
Isn’t it a pleasant experience to have the cold wind shielded by the woods, light a bonfire in the snow under the forest, and watch the fragrant barbecue around the fire?
Otto thought so, but it was a painful mental torment for the deer farmer.
On the first night of camping, the Russians followed their usual management and arranged for some people to keep watch at night.
The sentries are not guarding against enemies that attack by surprise. They are guarding against the herd of deer captured by wolves in a sneak attack.
All the deer were well tied. They were kneeling on the ground to rest, or they continued to use their thick lips to plow the snow with their eyes open, and gnawed on the grass roots in the forest. They seemed to have no idea about the death of some of their companions or even their own future fate.
They are, after all, domestic animals.
Human beings are human beings after all! Everyone has their own emotions, even slaves. If they feel that they have lost even the chance to survive, and will only be left with humiliation in the end, the slave will either rise up to resist or commit suicide.
Otto thought that he had given the prisoners a warm shack, and the team would continue on their way until the next day.
When a new day comes and the bonfire is almost burned out and only the white carbon remains, people wake up one after another and begin to prepare for a new day on their own.Heaven's return journey.
"Ah! These deer are all awake and they are still gnawing grass?!"
Otto shook his head and took away the entire deerskin wrapped around him. Naturally, he went to check on the conditions of the prisoners.
As a result, the three women they saw were already pale. Although their hands and feet were bound, they still managed to twist open their binding belts so that the cold wind could pour into their bodies.
What kind of perseverance is this! They chose to commit suicide!
"Ah! What's going on? They're all dead!"
Otto made an amazing roar, attracting many people to gather. Especially his old friend Harold Johnson, he thought the leader was in harm's way.
"What's going on?! Leader?!"
"Look at these prisoners." Otto pointed casually.
Hallo Zuosen immediately squatted down and subconsciously touched the prisoner's face with his hand.
"Oops! Like ice and snow, they are all dead! Leader, did you execute them?"
"Bah! You can see that they froze to death. It's really bad. I expected these people to go back and raise deer for me, but they all died!" Otto stamped his feet angrily, "These deer farmers only used axes made of stone to resist us. I didn't expect them to be. This way."
"Perhaps give them a chance to be dignified and give them our shields and swords. The deer herders can be as brave as our enemies, the Danes, even their women. Brave. These women seem to have followed their husbands."
Because suicide also requires courage, Otto and Harold Johnson couldn't help but express their feelings to these brave men.
"Hello Johnson, see if there are any survivors here."
"Okay!"
