Chapter 644 They chose war

The Russian ship took advantage of the wind and ran away!

Vadim did not expect this, nor did he expect that he had discovered and seized the opportunity, and the assassination was going smoothly, but the sword was just blocking Otto's armor.

He had never seen such defense before. His sword was obviously polished so carefully that it could cut blood with just a touch of his finger. This sharp thing was meaningless.

The angry people of Pine Needle Manor chased him by the lake for a while, but finally gave up because they were unable to enter the lake.

They calmed down a bit and kept breathing heavily. After settling down for a while, they began to help their dead and wounded.

Even, the Russian corpse was hit again.

The people were clearly expressing their anger that had been pent up for decades. Most of the rioters had their families kidnapped or their houses burned down. They had a very legitimate hatred for Ross, especially Otto himself. . The spearhead kept poking at the body of the Ross warrior, and the deceased's armor, leather jacket and shirt were all ripped off.

Because Vadim has long said that everyone involved in the uprising has the right to grab the spoils of war based on their ability.

Poor farmers are most in need of iron tools. Some people hold up the axes and steel swords they captured, while others use wooden poles to pick up the bloody chainmail they just removed and scream.

As for the bodies of the deceased, the people were venting their anger wantonly, and in the end they were smashed to pieces and turned into horrible pieces.

The assassination was obviously a failure. Some Ross people died, but the people of Pine Needle Manor suffered more casualties. Many people were killed by arrows and stone bullets, something Vadim had never expected.

For a young and energetic boy, his plans were hasty and not thorough, so he was able to summon hundreds of people to take action.

Vadim wakes up, and now he has to face not only the mess after the uprising, but also the rage of the Russians!

Borudne never imagined that his son would take action so early!

He had other people's blood on his body, and his beautiful clothes were a little more terrifying. He once fell into a coma in the house and mingled with a group of dead people.

The dead included Ross and the sons of Pine Needle Manor. The initial battle broke out in the manor's meeting room. Blood stains seeped into the ground along the gaps in the wooden floor, and the whole room was covered with blood stains.

Borudne was so frightened that his legs were paralyzed and he crawled away from the house, but he saw more corpses outdoors! < /p>

He finally cheered up. He shivered after seeing the corpse. Thinking about it must have been his son Vadim, his legs trembled even more when he thought about it.

He found a broken short spear and stood up, when he suddenly heard someone moaning.

Is... a Russian? !

A dying old warrior vomited blood and muttered in Norse: "You guys...will be beheaded to death..."

A moment later, a farmer with a brown beard broke in, followed by a group of armed men.

Everything was in chaos. Borudne yelled: "This is my home! You despicable serfs, who let you in? ! "

Unfortunately, the armed men with spears didn't care about Borudne at all. They inspected the corpse with short spears. When they found the Russians, they stabbed them to death with spear points, then stripped off the clothes of the corpse and took away the weapons.

Borudne looked at the whole scene with a pale face. He felt that he had become an outsider.

In other words, from today on, Boludne became an outsider and belonged to the group. His days of ruling Pine Needle Manor were over.

Vadim took his remaining men out to clean up the battlefield, killing some old friends, killing Otto and seizing (or destroying) the ship. )'s plan was not realized.

He couldn't be happy, but the mobilized people and young soldiers started doing crazy things.

Some people killed themselves. The heads of Russian warriors were strung on wooden sticks to show off their power. This horrific scene was clearly a show that should be cheered by the Slavs. They completely forgot the purpose of the battle, as if just killing a few Russian warriors would be a great victory. !

The armed people chanted Vadim's name, demanding that he become the new owner of the manor.

The young warriors surrounded the hesitant Vadim, and some were excited. He yelled: “Brother, you are the prince! We won! We defeated the Russians! ”

Someone else shouted: “Russians are just like that. As long as we unite, there is nothing we can’t do.” ”

Just like a good show of wearing a yellow robe, a young warrior suddenly knelt down on one knee, which quickly attracted many people to kneel down.

After all, they were with the Russians and other warriors. There were many contacts between Liangge people, until what is the warrior ceremony?

Many people unanimously asked Vadim to officially call him a prince, and finally it turned into a large group of people asking for his order. Mu, he has never felt such glory in his life.

The huge glory hit him, and he forgot about his failed assassination for a moment, surrounded by armed people, right in front of the Russians. On his body, he held up the captured Russian steel sword and openly declared that he was the only Princip in the entire Ilmen Lake Novgorod region!

Theoretically, this title is the prince! He had the same title of nobility as the Duke of Ross.

He took a group of young and old men and went home aggressively with some weapons they had just captured, and a group of armed men. The farmer ran away in advance, and there was a scene that Borudny saw.

Vadim counted his old men, and the eighty "heroic generals" who had rebelled died after a fierce battle. Forty people?

The fighting power of the Russians is indeed amazing, but the bodies of the Russian soldiers lying on the ground also indicate a lot of problems.

“If there is more unity.If I fight against them, I still have a chance of winning. " He thought so and returned home proudly with his brothers.

The battle was over. People who fled to the woods fled back one after another. Seeing a large number of corpses, they were shocked at first, but they noticed that there were many corpses. People actually held up the heads of the Russians and cheered in the twists and turns of the village.

Vadim had blood on his face and his body was dirty. The son was fine, and he was more relieved than angry.

However, this capture actually pointed a sword at his father in public, and immediately said: "Father, your era is over. Now I am the owner of the manor, and I will take Pine Needle Manor and other manors to resist the tyranny of the Russians! "

Vadim looked coldly at his father, and Borudny also had a pale face.

"You! What are you going to do? Resist me? "

"Yes! Father, the people abandoned you and now they have chosen me. Pine Needles Estate and all of Novgorod can no longer be slaves. I want to completely eradicate the Ross people and the traitors in White Tree Manor. "

Borudne was so angry that his teeth itched again. He stretched out his hand and pointed: "Stupid! You are leading everyone to seek death! "

"That is better than being slowly strangled by the Russian rope! Besides, it's only under your stupid governance that we'll be finished. I dare say that when I raise my spirit of resistance, everyone will support me. We will fight a decisive battle with them and win! "

"You! It's so ridiculous. You don't have this ability! "

"War is inevitable, father! Now that I have angered the Russians, they will definitely attack. If you are so afraid of them, just run away and go to Smolensk. I will take the children of Ilmen and defeat the Rus. Father, if you are really brave, resist them like me! Think about my sisters, are you worthy of them? "

"You! madness! It's so stupid..." Borudne finally saw that his son not only wanted to assassinate the Russian leader, but also wanted to seize his own power.

This was an untimely coup. Originally, The owner of the manor belonged to this boy, but he didn't expect that he couldn't wait any longer.

Now that the deal was done, Borudne had nothing to say. He sighed, not only lamenting the absurdity of today, but also lamenting his own. Sad fate.

"Well, it's all up to you. I don't care about anything, you can do whatever you want! ”

Borudne is delegating power. Vadim has already thought about it. Even if he does not delegate power, he will definitely take over the power.

It’s just about calling himself a prince. The matter requires some special operations.

He decided to gather various manors and order the manor owners to support his authority. If they did not agree, he would force the farmers with arms to support them.

Vadim is about to take action.

On the other hand, White Tree Manor.

Otto came back suddenly with anger. Rigus and others also felt that the Russian tribute collection operation was too smooth, and they plundered the entire Lake Ilmen in just one day.

However, when these old Russian warriors got off the ship, he realized that something was wrong.

Fight? This group of soldiers had clearly just fought a battle.

Both Rigus and Medved noticed the warrior's hostility. Looking at their appearance, they clearly lost the battle.

Rigus walked towards Otto on crutches: "Sir, something bad happened?"

"You?!" Otto raised his foot and kicked Rigus , kicked the old man directly.

This kick shocked all onlookers.

Otto immediately yelled and accused: "You idiot! Why didn't you tell me that the guys at Pine Needle Manor rebelled? We were ambushed and I almost died!"

Ligus was confused, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

Medweit hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth? Those guys rebelled?"

"Exactly!"

"We don't know anything about this matter. Sir, we have no intention of deceiving, there must be some conspiracy here."

"I don't care!" Otto was not someone who easily loses control of his emotions. He suppressed his anger and fiercely Said: "They have chosen war, they are seeking their own death! Medved!"

"Here!"

"Call your flag troops immediately and get ready to fight. Defense. The entire White Tree Manor is very likely to be attacked by them. You must remain alert. I will contact New Roseburg immediately, and a reinforcement will arrive soon. I will also notify Rurik and ask him to come to Novgo first. Rhodes, gather at White Tree Manor! Do you understand? If you can't hold it within ten days, your manor will be overthrown by them!"

"But...Old Duke! Sir, aren't we going to attack Karelia in the north?"

"Fight the traitors first! Then attack Karelia! Rurik must listen to me on this matter. The Russians have always done this. Revenge, go and prepare!”

Otto’s work efficiency was first-rate. That night, the sailing destroyer Neptune sailed along Volkhov with a warning from Novgorod! The river floats towards the big lake. Otto's message was very simple: he ordered Cornuson of New Roseburg to bring at least five hundred men. Whether they were Rus, Ostarans, or Slavs, they rushed to White Tree Manor with 500 people to put down the rebellion.

The round trip from Novgorod to Novorosberg at the mouth of the Neva River is almost 700 kilometers!

For the Russians who now have large ships, such a journey is not extreme. Otto considered that it would take some time for Cornuson to assemble the army, so he gave New Roseburg a relatively loose time.

He himself was not sure enough, but Bai ShuThe manor is different from before. They enjoy exclusive attention from the Principality of Ross. Not only is the population larger than before, but a small group of Ross people have always settled here. There are almost only a handful of settled Rus people, and the main purpose of their existence is actually surveillance.

When Otto arrives, it is equivalent to the arrival of the real master at White Tree Manor.

The Neptune returned overnight to convey the message. The next day, Otto ordered the people of the White Tree Manor to gather.

He stood on an ox-drawn two-wheeled cart and preached in Norse to the more than 2,000 people who gathered there. The old Russians who stayed behind were beside him to translate in real time.

Otto’s preaching made ordinary people tremble. They never expected that the guys at Pine Needle Manor would choose war. Perhaps there were signs of war many years ago, but now the war has broken out.

His words also deliberately touched the pain of the people of White Tree Manor. They originally lived by the lake, but they were driven here by the greedy guys of Pine Needle Manor, so that everyone entered Ilmen. Fishing in the lake is always on tenterhooks. In these years, we have completely joined the Russian ship, and it is obvious to all that everyone's life has suddenly improved.

Fight with the Ross people, completely destroy Pine Needle Manor, hang the traitors, and make life stable.

Otto gave this group of people a very tempting promise, that is, the White Tree Manor and Ross would form a coalition, and finally defeat the Pine Needle Manor. Not only would they regain their life by the lake, but they would also take away the losers' Land, and the extremely low tribute requirements remain unchanged!

For Baishu Manor, which relies on agriculture to make a living, there is nothing more tempting than seizing the fertile mature fields by the lake.

They have been able to see Otto wandering around the manor every year for more than 20 years. After all, White Tree Manor is the first stop of the Ross Sorgon fleet every year. As the saying goes, it is not very good to them after seeing him for a long time. fear. Otto changed from a young man to an old man, and the power of the Russians also expanded.

Most people in White Tree Manor have never seen Rurik. They only know that he is a blond boy. He is handsome but also fierce, very young and very good at war.

Both Ligus's daughters married Russians. People were expecting Rurik to bring Svetlana to White Tree Manor. Maybe this war would force Rurik to bring Svetlana to the White Tree Manor. Rick had to arrive with an army?

Otto's messenger indeed brought such a request: the army to attack Karelia should not go north first, but first go south to attack the rebels.

No, White Tree Manor suddenly gathered more than 400 soldiers of the so-called Slavic Flag Team, and Medved took up his old job as flag captain.

The Slavs fight in the same principle as the Varangros, and women will take up arms if there is war.

As long as we guard it closely for ten days and protect the farmland and other property, everything will be safe.

The men and women in the entire White Tree Manor were actually armed, even with sharpened wooden poles.

When Otto was here, he discovered that he had actually organized a force of more than 600 men in one day.Army. Even though he had killed as many as thirty old brothers, the warriors in front of him had actually been to Gotland to participate in the decisive battle. They have seen the big world, but they are much more stable than the courageous farmers of Pine Needle Manor.

However, the guys at Pine Needle Manor are reckless precisely because of their limited knowledge. They don’t know what sudden death in battle means, and they must be enthusiastic about war.

For the sake of caution, or mainly because he is old.

The Ottoling Sperosvilia led the Eubite and Saturn, and the three ships directly guarded the mouth of the Volkhov River at Lake Ilmen. First, it was a matter of force. Deterrence, and secondly, detection of enemy movements.

At White Tree Manor, Otto became the current supreme commander, and Medvedt followed his lead. He has 600 elite soldiers. In theory, all the people in the manor are soldiers, including all men, women and children who can hold an axe. The optimistic number of soldiers is more than a thousand!

Vadim, who seized power, had no idea about the radical plan that the Russians suddenly adopted after the attack.

In other words, Vadim is also actively running his own business. At least this young man did not continue to visit every house. He began to act like a real prince, and began to personally lead his cronies to "armed lobbying" counterclockwise along the lake shoreline to recruit soldiers for his cause.

No one on either side is naive, Otto never appeases, and Vadim has no illusions in his heart because he only has hatred.

A war is inevitable, but Vadim has no say in how the war is fought.

Because neither Otto nor Vadim are the protagonists.

When the attack occurred, Rurik was about to begin his eastern expedition, and messengers bearing the bad news of the rebellion of Novgorod locals were already waiting in Novorosberg.
