Rise of Rurik

"Rise of Rurik ()"!

The ambush attack was like a hurricane, and it also ended in a very short time. Arik wanted to stay alive, but the brothers were too violent and slaughtered this group of Karelian messengers.

The enemy's corpse was dismantled into eight pieces, and the Veps people who made their name in this way were further demanded by Arik to do everything. Twenty heads were inserted on wooden sticks. All the Veps men, women and children were horrific scenes. see it clearly.

The bloody scene stirred the aging heart of the female leader, and everyone shivered at the masterpieces of the men.

Without laboring to preach, the Veps can only take their clans on the ships of the Rus to advance and retreat together.

No, the Veps warriors who participated in the killing were recruited by another 20 people.

These 20 people are purely Arik pulling the generals out of the poke. They are relatively strong and have seen blood. They all know the exact location of the "Bear Altar" in Karelia, and they are really excellent guides.

Telavis has taken the girl's peace of mind, Hayasta, the granddaughter of the female leader, this girl will leave with Telavis as a bargaining chip.

It was Terravis, the only son of the leader of the Kewen Grey Squirrel Tribe. His status was a little more noble, and he had experienced too many bloody battles. It was quite appropriate to lead twenty more Veps warriors at a young age.

The strength of the Ross Army Squadron has increased. Most of the 550 troops are veterans. They only seem to be small in number, but their combat power is amazing.

Slaughtering the messengers is equivalent to undeclaring war against Karelia. Those heads are inserted into wooden poles, and they will all be thrown onto the bear altar, which will become the so-called "Headhunter Monument", shocking and provoking the Karelia people.

Arik, he has not been arrogant enough to annihilate the three major tribes of the Karelian forces with just a few of his men.

Even his knowledge of that place is still only the description of the Veps, what is the situation of the enemy?

Just like a bear, after catching a suspected prey, it will tentatively bite first, and only eat it when it finds out that it is meat, and remember it forever.

The Ross Army used swords and axes to carry out armed investigations on the Bear Altar!

After slaughtering the messengers, they rested for a while, and ate the grilled sea bass on the wheat cake and bread, and made some cooked reindeer meat and dried sea bass jerky. Veeps' new servant army, the fleet continues north along the shoreline of the lake.

It is believed that just by walking along the shore of the lake,

The first settlement to be discovered is the target Bear Altar.

kindness? Do not!

Strike! right.

For the first time, the Veps got on a boat larger than a canoe. They were excited and nervous, and had no fear of war at all, but took it as a boat trip on a large lake.

They were all concentrated on the largest flagship, the tall jibs screeching in the sun and the south wind. They had never even seen such a huge piece of cloth, and they could not help but suspect that it might be made by God.

But the Russ are clearly not gods! They are human beings, a more powerful force than the Karelians.

Those stories and legends became true, and he was standing on an illusory ship.

When the Veps gradually became familiar with it, the seldom seen strange expression quickly dissipated, and quickly entered their new role.

Looking at Arik again, it doesn't make sense to add more or less servants to the team. Let's count on these 20 people to kill the enemy. Let's make an atmosphere group at most.

They were good guides. They were all standing overtime, staring at the familiar and unfamiliar shoreline while pointing their fingers in the direction, thus prompting the flagship to keep correcting the course.

During the whole day, the lake floated very calmly, people were bored and napping, and only the sailors of each boat were on guard.

The short night finally came, and the Ruth army ate and defecated on the boat, as they had been fishing at sea.

The army continued to sail for another day, and the lake was so huge that the soldiers were shocked.

Perhaps tomorrow will be another fruitless voyage, and the entire fleet will land on a nearby island in a lake and intend to spend the night there.

Many people found wild duck eggs in the grass nest, which added some fun to the boring voyage.

There are some small trees on the island, the reeds are the most stalks, and the large area is full of amazing mud. The whole island is so noisy that there are not many reliable footholds, so that many people have returned to the boat after landing.

The weeds were cleared and some bonfires began to ignite under the setting sun.

The time has just arrived in August, summer has said goodbye to Lake Ladoga, and early autumn has arrived, the gentle sunset urges people to sleep, and the cool lake breeze adds a touch of coolness.

Arik didn't doubt that the Vips guide had pointed the wrong way, he was just surprised by the size of the lake. The Rus colonized New Roseburg and built a huge city on the barren coastal grasslands. They have been active near the Neva River for several years. Although they are adjacent to the Great Lake, they have no experience in exploring the lake area at all, and they also lack understanding of the size of the lake.

When people began to relax, when the afterglow of the sunset basically gave way to the bright night sky, a vision in the distance appeared.

It was a coincidence and a necessity.

There was a small problem on the mast of the flagship Mercury. The pulley at the top of the mast that controlled the sail lift was stuck by a cable. The ship had no time to repair it as it moved forward. Now the sailor climbed to the top after the anchor was dropped.

The bright starry sky was beautiful and ethereal, but the sailor saw the glow of the dark lake shore in the distance.

That's a bonfire! Not like a bonfire!

As the night became darker, a considerable number of yellow light sources gradually appeared on the lake, and the light sources on the lakeshore became more dense.

Gradually, more Ross warriors noticed the abnormality, and their instincts as warriors drove them to stand up, and the news about "We found the Bear Altar" was instantly spread.

Arik was standing on the shore, his heart was full of excitement.

When he asked if the place where the light source of a group of Vepps led the way was the Bear Altar, he got a complete affirmation.

"It's really good, it can be considered that I have caught my prey."

Arik muttered a few words to himself, and then shouted to his giggling brothers: "You see it! That's their bonfire and their fishing fire. The Karelians exposed themselves, you go to bed early, and we attack at dawn. Remember! Everyone sees blood and shows no mercy!"

Everyone knows the meaning of the boss's words. The Ross Army will have the right to enjoy a feast of killing. They have done too many things to be nervous.

Originally, the bonfires of the Ross Army were not strong and concealed. Now they extinguished the bonfires one after another. After eating the dry food, most of them moved to the boats so that they could move quickly when they set off for the expedition in the morning.

The short night ended quickly, and half of the people did not sleep well.

This is not a big problem, about to participate in a bloodthirsty flame, the self-proclaimed bravest warriors hope to prove to Odin that they are powerful and fierce under the rising sun, and the Karelians have become a prop.

They nibbled on pancakes, bread cubes, and dried fish, and drank the water from the lake in a pottery urn when they were too dry.

Arik stood on the commanding heights of the stern deck and looked down at the entire fleet. Suddenly, the scene of the first raid on Gotland was about to reappear.

The sky is still dark blue now, and only the soldiers who have been there all night are now curled up in the cabin to take a nap. The timing is completely with the Rus people, and even the fire of the Karelian people on the lake has not yet dissipated.

He raised his arms and shouted, "Now! Let's go!"

Winds were generally weak at night, and the Mercury's human propellers propelled her off the island and into the open water. Immediately afterward, the two longships caught the dropped cable and fastened it firmly to the mast.

The entire squadron moves forward in the most traditional mode of human-powered paddling. With the assistance of the tugboat and its own propeller, the Mercury is like a reindeer sleigh running on the lake. Splashes of water, leaving behind a dim track line.

They made some splash noise, which was blocked by the weak wind and waves lapping the shore.

A group of shadows became more and more conspicuous in the gradually clear world, and the Karelian fishermen who were fishing at night did not notice it until the Ross fleet approached. What's very strange is that they didn't seem to feel terrified, but stood on the canoe like a fool, quietly watching this strange fleet leave, and watching the fleet go straight to the bear altar.

To annihilate those night fishermen?

Killing is fine, of course, but not necessary. The task of the army is to rush to the shore in the shortest time before killing, and the road of assault should not be hindered by some things.

Those fishermen are lucky and sad, as the saying goes, what does it have to do with you to destroy you, and what does it have to do with you to forgive you?

The sky is already azure blue, like the blue lines of the "Ross Principality Paddle Flag" flying on the mast.

The phantom of the squadron is clearly visible, and the Karelian market at the bear altar also entered their morning market. People who got up early and walked out of the tent to trade leather, small animals, deer, fish and other goods gathered on the shore to watch This is an unprecedented sight.

The tsunami did not appear to be a threat until it hit the coast, and some miscalculated people would stop at the mast until it was too late until the big wave approached and turned into an overwhelming stance.

Hundreds of people gathered by the lake, with the sun about to break through the lake on one side, and a huge fleet with a deliberate image on the other, they were more concerned about the latter, and even the daring felt that this was a trade fleet, not only without danger, Instead, it brings wealth.

Those who made such predictions are not completely wrong. The ships of the Rus people will naturally do business honestly in the face of the strong. When they encounter the weak, whether they choose to go to war is purely a matter of mood.

Arik didn't know what to do with a group of people on the shore. The Vips guides were all afraid of the Karelians, and they decisively claimed that their opponents had taken precautions.

Telavis said in Norse: "The Vips said. The enemy must have known through divination that we killed their messengers. The Karelians already knew, they..."

Arik smiled: "They are going to fight with our army by the lake? Coincidentally, I am about to chop off their heads. They are really brave."

"It's reckless." Telavis said calmly.

"It's brave! This group of people dares to confront me head-on. I respect them as warriors. Or, I will deal with them with the strongest force, and prepare to twist the slingshot!"

The six torsion slingshots on the Mercury all entered the state of firing at an elevation angle. After they were fully charged, they were all equipped with javelins with whirling feathers.

Arik stretched out his thumb and aimed at the gathered crowd to estimate the distance. Feeling that the distance was appropriate, he calmly issued the launch order.

The six javelins flew in an instant, and the Veps were dumbfounded at the whirring.

The javelin was a whirling feather, and the buzzing sound caused by the violent friction of the air as it rotated quickly attracted the attention of the Karelians on the shore, and then the black rod fell and hit the ground.

An unlucky guy was directly pierced through his chest and nailed to the mud.

Although only one person was killed, the Karelian people watching the lively finally no longer have any illusions, they understand that the imminent is the enemy they have never seen before!

Unfortunately, when they began to flee, the arrows of the entire Ross squadron had already arrived.

Cowen longbowmen projectiles first, followed by Ross crossbowmen's projectiles.

Relying on the falling potential energy, the light arrow smashed the Karelian civilians in animal skins in the form of iron hail.

The Karelians who were attacked were indeed civilians now, not if they had taken up their iron spears. In the end, they had the hegemony of a region, and they fought with their old neighbors, the Tavastians. People who realized that it was an enemy attack ran back to their tents, beckoning their sons to take up arms and prepare to fight the enemy attack, ordering Women take good care of their belongings.

It also includes the resident priests of the Bear Altar. They called on the altar guards in bear skins to stand up. Although the attackers are unknown, for this sacred worship center, the attackers must be defeated before the chief returns.

Can the altar guards with as many as fifty people defend the sanctity of the sacrificial center?

Arik's team is equipped with up to 150 crossbows. Since the Ross Army has repeatedly enjoyed great benefits in the use of long-range weapons, let's go to hell with "cutting each other upright and head-on". If you have advanced weapons, you are an idiot.

Arrow strikes brought horrific slaughter, something the Karelians had never seen on the battlefield.

People were running wild, and many people continued to run with arrow wounds, but it was all too late.

The first longship washed up on the soft shore of the lake, and the crossbow-wielding Ross warriors aimed and shot with their weapons, shielding the sword and shield brothers and jumping out of the boat steadily.

Some people once expected that they would encounter obstacles when they landed on the beach, and everyone would land against the enemy's arrows. It is true that the Karelians were shooting arrows to fight back. I am afraid it can only be regarded as a symbolic resistance.

The Mercury faced the enemy with broadside. She completely became a kind of near-shore arrow tower. The subordinates of the Telavis organization stayed on the ship and continued to provide arrow support to the brothers who were fighting on the shore. The six torsion slingshots all hit the enemy's side, and they were all loaded with cast iron projectiles to make rough strikes on the running targets.

Go ashore and fight yourself? Arik's heart tickled, but it wasn't the right moment.

The soldiers of the entire flag team basically rushed to the shore, slashing with swords and axes, but those who were not in white robes and blue stripes were killed without mercy, but they did not lose their minds in the blood. They are a bunch of efficient killing machines, just killing and doing nothing else, like lava flowing through the forest and burning everything and nothing more.

After looting the property and waiting for the war, all the brothers have to do is to be ordered to kill like crazy.

That's one reason Aric watches the battlefield from a height, supervising the movements of the army, and determining the status of each centurion by noticing the blue feathers on the centurion's headstock.

The whole situation has opened up and the whole so-called bear altar is a mess.

At this moment, the sun has also risen, and the lake fog has begun to transpiration. Arik has just seen that the Bear Altar is not a large settlement, and the fog makes the world begin to become a little blurry.

He made all the archers listen to the fire, and the remote support came to an end.

The current Ross Army no longer needs support. Those who fled slowly have been killed, and those who fled quickly can only save their belongings and work hard to save themselves.

Before the attack on the Bear Altar, there were more than 2,000 people, and only a few managed to escape. A fight broke out among the many tents.

There are no soldiers in the Ross army, and it is inevitable that someone will be injured in the chaos, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too outrageous. There are more than 2,000 people at the Mokanxiong altar, among which there are only five or six hundred strong men.

The Karelian bone cluster arrows are meaningless to the Russ deer leather chain mail, not to mention that some warriors also put bronze pieces of iron on the chain mail at their own expense, unless these poor arrow clusters are very coincidental The observation window that penetrated the eyes of the Ross warriors, unfortunately did not.

The Karelians at the Bear Altar resisted, and their assembled team was quickly smashed by the Rus' Viking shield wall, followed by fatal killings.

Once the morale collapsed, it would be too difficult to restore it. The Bear Altar lost its resistance. In the end, only the fifty altar guards in bear skins could resist resolutely.

It was these people who, in order to protect the sacred altar, faced the besieging two Ruth centurions, wielding spears, bear-tooth clubs, and axes to fight hard, and were strangled under the siege of Ruth's sword and shield heavy infantry.

In the end, the feathered priests were also killed indiscriminately.

This is the last battle of the Bear Altar. The Ross Army has no casualties, but a few people have some bruises on their bodies due to the impact. It is normal for a heavily armored veteran to deal with a leather-clad tribesman with a zero-death record.

Human blood flowed out of the bear skin, and the Ross warriors ignored these "bear guards" corpses. When someone noticed that this was the bear altar, and found the gem necklace on the neck of the slain priest, the looting started logically.

The only difference from these two centurions is that the other two centurions have been broken down into pieces. The brothers chased and killed the fugitives. After confirming that the enemy had escaped too far, the pursuit became meaningless, and they began to collect those left over. property, such as an astonishing number of reindeer.

How many deer are there? At least five thousand!
