Tara Weiss thought she would persuade them until the afternoon. Apparently fearing the terrifying strength of the Ross people, the female leader of the Vips announced her surrender.
Those who were hiding did not go far. Seeing the old lady calling for everyone to come out, the tribesmen also walked out of their hiding places.
On the other hand, the longships of the Ross Squadron also began to land.
Telavis welcomed the conqueror just offshore.
Arik was very surprised. This boy actually convinced the Vips with just one mouth, and really won their submission without resorting to war.
Arik, who has a relatively single-minded mind, was surprised, but this is a fact.
He ordered his men to exercise restraint and not to commit spontaneous plunder unless they refused to pay tribute.
The development of the matter was completely beyond expectations. Five hundred extremely tall and strong Russian warriors stepped onto the Kekisalmi of the Vips. The women of the Vips were actually moved!
They do not have a clear marriage relationship, and the children born by a woman are the children of the entire tribe. Their lives are actually a bit chaotic, but women are always giving birth frequently and face an alarming infant mortality rate.
Seeing a group of strong blond young men jumping off a huge ship, they are so strong that the children born from the fusion of their bones and blood can successfully escape the persecution of death.
Arik had not expected this kind of thing. The actions of the Vips women were clearly begging his subordinates to have sex with them. This kind of thing is really familiar to him. The same thing has happened in the Kovin community. So much so that in the Elon Orava Castle in the Principality of Ross, the women of the Iron Squirrel tribe are already hugging a group of people who don’t know who their father is. tawny-haired mulatto child.
This was the tacit approval of the leader Kartenaka, and even her granddaughter was brought out. The shy girl was given to Taravis by her grandmother herself.
The girl Hayasta, whose name is "Fragrant Breath", is just a girl who has just grown up to be a mother. Even so, she insisted on telling Travis that he was her man.
How can Tyravis control himself like a newly grown bull? When he held this reasonable girl under the soft deerskin cushion, he still fell in love with this proactive girl, even though he knew her purpose.
At night, Arik felt that this strange Keki Salmi was full of indescribable absurdity and beauty!
The warriors can feast on roasted reindeer meat and have sex with a group of women. The young warriors are not picky, and many of them have even done the same thing as the Corvin people in Ironburg. It is said that the newly arrived Vips and the Corvin people are a family, at least in this regard they are really a family.
Both sides have their own needs, so to attack these guys who are so surrendered is just out of mind.
Arik has his own principles, he rejects all women’sTo get close means to have an in-depth understanding of the situation with Kartenaka, the female leader of the Vips, in person in the camp.
Telavis, who had finished his work, allowed the girl Hayasta to lie on his lap. He acted as a translator, and he also desperately hoped to learn the news that the Karelia people believed more.
The female leader faced it calmly. She saw and confirmed with her own eyes that the entire Vips tribe had no ability to resist in the face of the Ross army. She had chosen to defect to the Principality of Ross with her whole family, and she began to nag a little. , introduced the situation of the Karelian people in detail...
The female leader spoke quite naggingly, and due to the language, she could not communicate very smoothly, so Telavis tried his best to extract it. Key information was revealed, but surprising news was also obtained.
If the "Karelian Bear Altar" revealed by the captives at the beginning was a fabrication, the female leader would describe it again and it would be confirmed.
"Bear altar? Do they actually worship bears?" Aric asked about Terravis.
"They hunt bears for sacrifice. I'm afraid that place is not a village, but a simple altar."
Altar? Arik naturally thought of the Stone Ship Altar in his hometown in Fort Ross. That place was indeed a sacred place, but if there were no important festivals, no one would visit it. It was not that it was a restricted area, and it would be no fun to go there just for non-holidays.
Aric followed his own thoughts and speculated.
Telavis shook his head: "That's absolutely not the case. She mentioned a lot of tents, and there would be a lot of people trading there. That is the Lakeside area. If...we launch an attack, Maybe it will come as a surprise."
When Tyravis suggested a sneak attack, he hesitated, but when he explained it in words, Arik was really interested.
"Sneak attack? Just what I want. In the camp by the lake, a group of weak guys actually call themselves brave bear hunters. It's really ridiculous. Keep asking, I want to know the details of Karelia!"< /p>
Arik’s urging caused Tyravis to keep asking questions.
The female leader did not dare to offend this group of madmen who were covered in iron (referring to chainmail). In her eyes, even if these iron men were not messengers of God, they were noble and irresistible existences.
They are strong, but they are all men.
I am the weak one, but there are many women.
The Vips women tried to please these Russian conquerors in their own way, and the tribe continued to bet on their fate, betting that the Russians would not suddenly turn against them.
Based on this idea, the female leader mentioned one thing in particular: "When the ends of the pasture begin to turn yellow, when the lake breeze becomes cool, and when the newborn deer begin to eat grass, Karelia The tribute envoy will arrive."
Telavis was full of doubts when he first translated these words. After thinking about it again, wouldn't it be early autumn when these three conditions can be met?
Early autumn is almost here!
The Karelian envoy will come to collect twenty headsDeer, and will make the Vips hand over a beautiful girl to be offered as a slave to the Karelian leader.
The female leader has a hoarse voice and speaks in a very calm tone.
Telavis trembled all over after hearing this. At this moment, the girl Hayasta was still clinging to him. It happened that she was the one who would have her hands tied and follow the Karelian envoy away in a certain year. ...
After learning this information, he looked at the woman next to him, and a strong desire for protection suddenly swept through his entire head.
I saved her. I already possess her, she must be my woman!
Thinking rationally, Telavis increasingly felt that this was the old leader’s plan. An astonishing number of tribal women had relationships with the Ross conquerors. The old leader was clearly conniving at all the women to have sex with them. Maybe it's because of the hope of giving birth to more healthy children by obtaining the bloodline of strong warriors, or maybe this is another way to save life.
It was at this moment that the girl in her arms spoke calmly: "You will protect me."
"Protect you. I will protect you."
p>
Arik couldn't understand what they said. When he impatiently asked, he immediately came up with a clever plan.
The young and promising warrior cheered up: "Telavis, I don't care how many deer the messengers came here to collect or how many women they caught. I'm afraid this woman has already With your cub, you don’t want her to be captured. But I tell you, the only people in this world who dare to collect tribute from others will be killed by the Karelia people!” /p>
Indeed, the Principality of Rus had no choice but to take the initiative to attack the territory of the Karelia people because of the major threat to New Ross Fort. This was blameless in this basically unethical Nordic country. However, in order for the warriors to burst out with strong combat effectiveness, it is best to use some means to stimulate the anger of the warriors. Once they become angry, their combat effectiveness will often reach its peak, and they will not be afraid of the horrific killings they participate in.
Help the bullied servant force Suomi attack Karelia, which may make the warriors angry enough to dare to fight.
Now, Arik just wants to tell his brothers that there is a group of guys who are not afraid of death and are rushing to collect the tribute from Ross's servants. They really deserve to die!
This place is very strange. It is obviously quite a barbaric place. The men and women are all short in stature and have extremely weak military skills.
But this is also a strange holy place. Any Russian warrior who shows off his white chest, muscle texture and flowing golden chest hair can easily attract local women to come and take off their fur cloths. robe.
It is already the third day that the squadron has been anchored here. Arik has already learned some extremely crucial information from the female leader. When he decided to gather his brothers who were a little too leisurely, he keenly noticed that Some have become sluggish.
The First Banner Corps assembled amidst the sound of fart drums. Each centurion gathered his men. They were in front of all the Vips.Arranged in a square matrix.
They were dressed exactly the same, wearing white robes with blue stripes over their mail, and their weapons and helmets shone with blue light.
Arik was clearly showing his strength to the Vips. As for the sluggishness of some brothers, he really didn’t want to say anything more.
The cool lake breeze blows into this lakeside fjord, and the wind from Lake Ladoga blows all the way to Lake Vulsi.
Arik felt a chill. Since the so-called "Karelian envoy" hadn't arrived yet, those people should obviously arrive in a while.
He gathered his army and stood on some wooden platforms to give orders.
"Now let me tell you something outrageous! These Vips are already our servants, and I see that you are all very close to their women. Don't worry, this is my permission for you. ."
At this point, the tense nerves of the suddenly nervous soldiers were instantly relieved.
Aric continued to yell: "I'm really angry! This is already the territory of our Ross Principality, and the Vips are all our servants! You know the meaning of servants and the meaning of territory."< /p>
He paused deliberately to attract everyone's attention: "However, the Karelia people sent envoys to enter our newly conquered territory without authorization and force our servants to pay tribute to them." Take away the woman you loved! Do you agree?"
The previous emphasis is on the final twist.
Everyone was a little confused at first, but as some people began to react, furious emotions began to take over their minds.
"Do you agree?" Arik continued to yell.
"No!" Someone finally responded with a vent of rage.
"Let's do it! Let's ambush them. Then..."
Arik laughed out loud in front of everyone, and even turned into an arrogant laugh. He was excited and ecstatic. After calming down a little, he roared loudly: "I also learned that the Karelia people have a city where there are a lot of reindeer, a lot of leather, and a lot of women. Don't think you can rob it. These guys don't have any silver coins in their hands. The most they have is leather, and what we grab is leather!
The Duke did not prohibit us from fighting them, but only asked to be careful.
A few years ago, I led you to the first attack on Gotland, and we won a great victory. This time we can achieve greater victory. We will come back with a lot of leather. We'll all be rich when we get to Fort New Rose!"
The people began to shout, and began to bang their shields with the backs of their ax handles, and their emotions rose at the mention of killing the enemy and getting goods.
They do not expect to steal silver from the Karelia people. However, leather is also a substitute for currency, and the Rus tribe has made its fortune by processing leather since ancient times. No one can compare with them. More emphasis on leather.
Arik’s speech was not a complete picture, some descriptionsWhat is stated is a fact.
The First Flag Troop of the Russian Army announced that it would attack Karelia first, targeting the so-called "Bear Altar". If they want to do this, they must wait and kill the Karelian envoy.
Until she fully understood the intentions of the Russians, the Vips female leader Kartenaka felt the most bone-deep fear she had ever felt in her life.
This is because Arik, the leader of the Russian conquerors, has decided that the Vips must prove that they are true servants. There are three tasks that must be completed. If one of them is not completed, the Russians can go crazy.
First: The Vips must send a group of guides to guide the Ross army directly to the Bear Altar.
Second: They must be armed and cooperate with the Russian army to intercept and kill the Karelian envoy as a pledge of surrender.
Third: The female leader Kartenaka must go to New Roseburg in person to meet the Duke of Rose himself, and then confirm many contracts between the servant and the monarch.
The Vips can only organize a team of more than a hundred men. They are generally short and fat, and being short and fat is an illusion. These people are not strong without their thick leather hats. They could only use flint, antlers and natural volcanic glass to make spearheads, oak and hemp rope to make bows, and wooden shafts, bone fragments and feathers to make swords.
This is what they are armed with. When the "soldiers" gather together, Arik can only feel a headache secretly when he looks at these guys.
Of course Arik looks down on these guys, but he has acknowledged his status as a servant on behalf of his brother. The servant army resembles a group of beggars. The most important thing they need to do now is to completely change their weapons.
If the Vips are like this, the Karelia people must be better than them.
The female leader mentioned that the Karelia people have a lot of iron weapons, but finally there seems to be no more advanced weapons.
The Russians began to wait and wait under Arik's arrangement. He knew very well that his brother was determined to launch an attack during the period when Novgorod's grain and grass were extremely abundant after the wheat harvest, which was still a little away from August in the Julian calendar. As for the time, he speculated that the interception of the messenger's attack on the Bear Altar would probably be in early August. These affairs do not conflict with each other, and I even have some time to spare.
The envoys who collected the tributes were under the orders of the Karelian leader, and the three major tribes obeyed one person as the chief.
The forces in Karelia are in the historical transformation period from tribal alliances to chiefdoms. The "Bear Altar" already has the significance of a capital city, collecting tributes from neighboring small tribes or uniting to attack Neighbors contribute to the birth of a nation.
The entire Ross Army squadron entered the lake on the lower reaches of the Vukshi River. This is a hidden place and a basically unexplored place.
The huge trawl net was thrown into the lake, and the flagship Mercury began to pull the net to sweep away the abundant European bass in the lake. Those long boats were also anchored on the lake, and people put down fishing lines and fished with steel hooks. With the advanced fishing level and abundant volunteers in the local lake area, the food problem of the Russian army was not only solved,They can even reward the Vips servants with any extra fish they catch.
It is this fishing technique that shocked these local residents.
Even moved.
Because the Karelia people just asked for it, the Rus’ conquerors seemed friendly. After all, they really rewarded them with a lot of fresh fish.
Finally, the Vips "receiver" who was watching in the distance finally waited for the tribute envoy from Karelia.
The "receiver" did not disclose the conquest of the Russians, and still greeted the envoys of more than 20 people respectfully as in previous years.
These twenty people are quite domineering. The leader is shouting all the time, asking the Vips to donate all their beautiful girls. The twenty people must have twenty girls to serve them for at least one night. There are also The most beautiful one should be dedicated to the greatest leader.
The envoys were all having sweet dreams, but when they entered the Vips village, it was surprisingly quiet.
What's going on? The "receiver" lied that everyone was scared and hid, and then asked to go and call out the hiding tribesmen in person.
The messengers didn't care, as similar things happened every year. They regarded this as a sign of the majesty of the strong.
But when the "receiver" rushed into the shadow of a wooden shed, he reported the message to the hiding armored Rus warriors and a group of Vips armed men.
The Karelian envoy came in a big way. Several "receivers" who were watching from a distance quickly ran back to the camp to explain the matter. The Rossweps coalition forces were also prepared in advance.
“Let’s do it!” Arik gave the order, and the berserker wearing a battle robe suddenly came out.
/p>
The matter is not over yet. It is the Russians who can easily deal with this group of envoys, and the Vips still have to submit a letter of surrender.
A steel sword was stuck in the mud, and Aric ordered the nervous Vips warriors, "Cut off the head of the messenger to prove that you are a servant!"
Talavi Si translated truthfully, they looked at each other and really started to do it.
They did not simply behead their heads. A group of people saw the terrifying fighting power of the Russians up close, and they all proved their loyalty. Everyone took the sword and was stunned to see the corpse of the envoy. Cutting them into pieces and smearing snow on their faces was their name.
Arik laughed, and the brothers laughed too. Finally, the group of Vips warriors whose faces were covered with blood also laughed stupidly.
Now, the men and women of the Vips have completed the servant contract in their own way, and then they will pursue the victory.
