Chapter 264 Kewen Battle 5: If you can’t defeat them, join them

In the evening, Otto arrived at the village by the river with his army carrying a large amount of loot.

The sky gradually darkened, and a large number of bonfires gradually lit up in the villages under the control of the Russians.

Since the attack was not the real target, Otto, who felt that he had been deceived, wanted to take out the stupid dog and beat him up.

The so-called stupid dog is Voyma Kashad, the Coven man who leads the way.

When Otto came to the village, he saw the deer herders who had prepared a large amount of firewood, and also saw the left-behind people who had found the ale hidden by the Coven people and were drinking by themselves.

Even Rumia, this girl is already stewing meat in the clay pot she found.

Otto was very satisfied. Rumia was cooking the bear meat that she had hunted before. This was his dinner.

Rumia built a small stove with stones outdoors. At this moment, the bonfire has already boiled the soup pot, and you can smell the aroma of meat when you get close.

Seeing the army's triumphant return, Rumia immediately stood up and asked all the deer herders to pay tribute to the Russian army.

Otto was in a good mood. He approached the boiling soup pot, pulled out his sword, inserted it directly into the bear's meat, and fished out a piece of meat. He took a bite with deep satisfaction.

"Rumia, you did a great job."

"Thank you... Chief." Rumia said timidly.

"Next, your master will give you a gift."

As soon as Otto finished speaking, Rumia suddenly saw her Rurik appear. , and on his hand, there was a little girl with brown hair.

"Rumia, I'm back." Rurik put on a warm smile, but the current scene made Rumia a little strange.

"Masta, I'll prepare dinner for you soon."

"Don't worry. Get to know this girl first." After saying that, Rurik's face was filled with fear. The little girl pushed to her side. Then with a strong force, she was pushed directly towards Rumia.

A child slipped and rushed toward her. Rumia subconsciously opened her hand and grabbed her.

"Who...is she?"

Rurik raised his chin: "Everything is fate. Her name is Lumi, the same as yours. She She is from Covin, and I am sure that your language is exactly the same as hers."

Rumia was shocked. She listened to Rurik's words and immediately asked in ancient Sami.

It was precisely because of this inquiry that the little girl Lumi, who had been immersed in fear, suddenly felt that she was slipping into the arms of a big sister of the same race.

"Are you from my tribe?" the little girl asked cautiously.

Rumia was stunned for a moment, then hugged the child tightly. Because at this moment, Rumia thought of her long-dead sister. If her sister were still alive, she would probably be at this age.

“I am your tribe.” Rumia responded enthusiastically: “From now on, youThat's my sister. ”

Hearing this, the little girl Lumi burst into tears.

In fact, in a sense, Lumia and Lumi, two girls belonging to different ethnic groups, are essentially the same. They all know the word "Suomi" because the deer-raising Sami, the Kovin people, and even the Tavastians and Karelians are essentially Suomi people. They are Finns.

So the two girls have natural similarities in appearance.

Rurik was very happy to see such a warm scene, which was a reflection of the war that had just ended. For psychological comfort.

He said loudly: "Lumia, she will be your maid from now on. I need you to nurture her. "

Rumia didn't understand the master's arrangement: "masta, I am your servant, can a servant also have servants? "

The problem is that there are some matryoshka dolls. Rurik thought about it and said directly: "She is the granddaughter of the leader of this tribe. Her name is the same as yours. Everything is fate and God. the will of. You are destined to be sisters, so I need you to train her to be a second priest. ”

After this, Rumia completely understood, “Masta, I have fulfilled my mission.” ”

Rurik nodded. In fact, his real idea was to further expand the team. Of course, the priest is not alone. The priest needs a group, a group that is only loyal to himself, so everyone who makes up this group As a lower-level priest, Rurik felt that he needed to select himself at this stage.

It was not only Lumia who got a servant, Kawei also got his own servant.

Specifically. Yan is ten boys.

The language barrier is not a problem for the time being, because Kawei can speak a little Finnish vocabulary. In the future, he only needs to teach these boys to speak Norse.

The condition of these Covin boys is no worse than that of Kamne.

Besides, Kamne is here to stay. Rick's people, these Covin boys are the little blacksmiths that the family can always control and train.

Kawei wants to train the selected ten boys to become blacksmiths. The leader of the Salmon Lord tribe. Kaihas was shocked.

The blacksmiths in the entire tribe can be counted on one hand. What’s worse is that the blacksmith has been killed in the battle. If the tribe wants to develop, it must have a blacksmith. Get the ore.

Kehas couldn't help but think that the young Ross man claimed to be the best blacksmith of the Ross tribe, and it might be a good thing for the boys that a group of boys from his tribe were selected. After living a peaceful life, if he becomes a blacksmith, everything will be different.

Also, Kejas believes that the boys of his tribe will be here.A man who came to the home of the Rus and will never forget that he is the Lord of Salmon.

He even began to imagine that if the Russians did not come in force, they would not attack with force without negotiation. The two parties will first engage in negotiations, and they will choose to surrender because it is profitable.

Kehas understood the situation clearly, and it might be beneficial to cooperate with the Russians.

More than a dozen half-underground houses were packed with all the surviving Kewen tribesmen. Their morale had long since collapsed and they had lost the courage to resist the Russians. They saw the reality clearly, that is, they had used all the fighting power of the entire tribe and the defensive advantages of the stone wall of the mountain fortress, but they were still beaten violently by the Russians like chopping melons and vegetables.

At least until now, the Russian conquerors have no plans to kill again.

The leader Kaihas said that as long as everyone surrenders and gives some leather to the Rus every year, they will not be attacked again.

The Russians even made a very tempting promise - you are all slaves of the Russians, and whoever attacks you is an enemy of the Russians, and the Russians will definitely attack them.

The men of the Salmon Lord tribe who were gathered together could not help but whisper, and everyone gradually reached a unified attitude. Although a large number of tribesmen died, so what? Life must go on.

Because women and children are now controlled by the Russians.

But the leader Kaihas is also controlled by the Rus, and it seems that he still needs to discuss other matters.

Hopefully, the leader can gain some benefits for everyone in the tribe.

Otto, who returned from victory, intended to find out and punish the guy who led the way. However, what he saw was that his subordinates were neglecting their duties and the fact that the leader was missing was nowhere to be found.

After he slapped the guarding tribesman several times, he could only lament his naivety for actually listening to the dog.

Kejas has been following the leader of Ross, and he only obeys his orders.

After being deceived, Otto was furious. He slapped his chin, then suddenly turned around and strangled Kejas's neck, saying viciously: "One of my dogs ran away, what about you? Will your dog betray you?"

I heard it. Translation, Kejas was scared enough to wet his pants.

Otto turned the corner of his eyes and saw something dripping under the opponent's soft legs.

"I'm sorry you don't dare. Let's go! Take me to your council house."

Is there any special council house in the Salmon Lord Village? If there is one, it is Kai Haas own home.

Even as the leader of the village, his semi-underground house seemed unbearable to Otto.

Because of Otto, he has adapted to and liked the "Novgorod-style wooden house" that his son built for himself. To put it bluntly, it is a wooden house with a modern aesthetic. If it is equipped with electrical equipment, , that wooden house is a proper twentieth-century building.

Otto just sneered at this village's series of thatched huts, butWhat cannot be denied is that since the tribesmen have collected a large amount of furs, he feels that this year's "Northern Hunting" should do everything possible to collect them.

Otto and several Kongwu warriors became the new owners of the village chief's house.

Kejas did not dare to offend these madmen. The tribe was completely defeated. All he could think of now was to "reward" these madmen with the women of the tribe. But things are very bizarre, these madmen don't seem to be interested in women.

Kejas didn't believe it, so he asked his wife and daughter-in-law to "take care of" Otto.

To be fair, Otto is still a powerful man in his fifties. Of course he was attracted by these women, but as he had lived a long time, his reason had already prevailed.

Otto was indeed rational. When he thought that if he failed to control it and his son had a younger brother, wouldn't it cause chaos to his son's future power? The current situation is that even if it is to consolidate Rurik's future power, the child does not need a younger brother at all. Rurik already has a group of loyal peers around him, the elders Arik and Kawi, who are now his power.

Otto sent away the intimate act of Kejas's female family members, which was obviously a last resort, which moved Kejas deeply.

What surprised Kejas even more was that there were actually a group of non-combatants in the Varyag army. There are not only women but also children in their group.

Things became very strange. He didn't know what the Ross leader had other intentions. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Sitting in a home where everything had changed, Kejas was sitting on pins and needles.

After a while, Rurik accepted the call and came to this semi-crypt wooden house.

Different from the quiet indoors, the outdoor world is already bustling with hilarity. The Ross warriors eat big meals and have the opportunity to drink a small amount of wine brewed by locals.

"Dad, is there something big going on?" Rurik asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Come here and sit next to me."

Rurik nodded. With the help of an oil lamp, he glanced at the village leader with a dull expression and saw the man's trembling face. Eye.

Rurik quickly sat down in front of his father. He suddenly felt that the whole scene had the meaning of a "tribal meeting", as if to discuss the next step.

Yes! The Salmon Lord Tribe has conquered. Should we continue to expand our victory, or return home?

Rurik firmly believed that not only his father, but also all the tribesmen wanted to expand the results of the war.

But the village chief of the conquered tribe is sitting here. What can this person do?

Otto felt that the time had come, and he asked Jevro to translate his words truthfully.

"Kehas, we Ross people plan to attack the gray squirrel tribe. Now my leader has escaped and I need a new leader. You! You must know a lot of information."

After hearing these words, Rurik was sure that after experiencingAfter a short rest, the tribal army would definitely attack the gray squirrel tribe. The battle will continue and is inevitable! Rurik clenched his fists, knowing that he had only one choice now - to participate in new operations as the leader of the tribal army. Although it is a military adventure, it is well worth it.

Kejas’s mind was racing, and in a short speech, he understood the true intention of the Ross people.

Moreover, when it comes to the gray squirrel tribe, Kejas feels angry.

"Russians, I know that tribe. We and them have great hatred."

Hate?

Both Rurik and Otto understood. This was a positive signal that the other party intended to cooperate.

Rurik then lied and said: "We Rus are the masters of all northern deer farmers. They are our slaves. They raise deer for us and give us a batch of deer every year. We Give them a guarantee of safety. However, the expedition of the gray squirrel tribe attacked our deer herders, and many of them were killed. We sent troops to rescue a group of people, but the anger could not be quelled. This is the reason why we sent troops. , we are going to attack the gray squirrel tribe.”

Rurik’s words were deliberately spoken in Norse, and he needed to tell Kehas exactly what he said through the translator Yavlo.

The most important thing was that Rurik wanted to tell his father.

A big hand suddenly covered Rurik's golden head. Otto admired his son's words from the bottom of his heart and felt that he had found an excellent reason for war.

Otto said loudly: "We organized an elite force to attack the gray squirrel tribe, but the gray squirrel prisoner told us that you are the gray squirrels. Our battle today was very sudden, and perhaps avoidable. All this is the fault of the Gray Squirrel Tribe!"

Kejas is not the leader of the tribe because of his age, he can understand what the Ross people mean. There are two meanings here. The first meaning is that the war was a misunderstanding that could have been avoided. The Ross people have no absolute malice towards the Salmon Lord tribe. The second meaning is that the gray squirrel tribe is probably behind this war.

The more he thought about it, the more Kehas raised his eyebrows and believed in his own judgment.

Gradually, he showed a sad and angry expression, looking at the big and round Russian conqueror in front of him: "Great Russian people. The gray squirrel tribe is the source of all evil! They attack our hunters on weekdays and destroy our Hunting traps. We have lost many hunters over the years, and we are eager for revenge, but we have no ability to defeat them. Now that we have lost many men, we are at a great disadvantage."

"Do you desire revenge?" Otto asked deliberately.

"I want to! Even in my dreams."

"So, do you want to take revenge on us? After all, we killed many of you."

Once heard Kehas's face suddenly turned pale at this.

OttoHe smiled disdainfully: "Forget it! You are weak, and we Russians are very strong, and will only become stronger in the future."

"Yes! I have no guts, we are just your loyal hounds. ”

Rurik listened to everything, and obviously he had sufficient say in this meeting.

Rurik cheered up and decisively revealed his identity to Kehas: "Kovin! I, Rurik! I am the future leader of the Rus people, and I am blessed by the gods. Man. You said you would be our loyal hound, how could you tell?"

"I...we are indeed loyal," Kehas said hurriedly.

"No." Rurik shook his head: "We are going to attack the gray squirrel tribe. We are going to take revenge. The war between you and me was a misunderstanding, but you failed completely and became my servants. . I hope you will consider it carefully."

"Please...please speak."

"If you can't defeat your opponent, join them."

"This..." Kejas had already moved: "My little master, do you mean to ask me to send people to participate in new battles? Let our men fight for you?"

Rurik smiled and nodded: "Not so. The men of your tribe will take up arms again, and we will form an army. Your men will participate in a new battle under my command. Listen, your people are my people. You will be rewarded by your master for your loyalty."

Otto felt that his son's words were very domineering, look at Kehas's expression. , that old face that was originally rigid now clearly had the urge to smile.

Otto asked in a rich baritone: "I am the leader of the Rus people, and my tribe has ten thousand people! This time I organized three hundred elites to participate in the battle. Now you give me A clear answer. Do you want to join our army to fight against the Gray Squirrels?"

Kehas knew that he had no choice, and based on the current situation, the request made by the Russians was not only acceptable, but also if it was With the Ross people joining the battle, they can definitely defeat the hateful gray squirrel tribe.

"Great Rus, all the men of our tribe who can bear arms will fight for you. Even some women, if you wish, they can bear arms and fight for you. ."

Otto laughed happily: "Women? Forget it! I only want men, like your nasty archers. Now, tell us about the situation of the gray squirrel tribe. ."
