The messenger from Saaremaa had never eaten roasted reindeer, let alone scones made of wheat.

Rurik allowed them to feast, so-called as a favor to the submissive. They ate their stomachs as big as drums, drank a lot of wine and got very drunk.

Trarang and his gang have never had such enjoyment, presumably the legendary life of Asgard is nothing like this.

They were dragged away, and it was only when everyone woke up that they realized it was dawn. The place that seems to be a warehouse is the first place for everyone to stay, although they all sleep on the ground, the wooden floor is covered with leather blankets, and the body is covered with leather. The kindness of Prince Ross is still shown here?

The stone steps that came with the attitude of servants were naturally treated with courtesy. Rurik’s approach was a bit too much. At the end of the Governor Konusson’s face, he found a secret opportunity to inform the princes and brothers of their unhappiness.

"They're just servants, from a dirty, messy island commune full of pirates, men, women, and children. You shouldn't treat these people too much, even if they're descended from our Rus."

"You don't understand! I still need their strength to deal with the Danes. In the future, Saaremaa will also become our most outpost against the Danes." Rurik explained this by himself, and then he also found out For a more convincing reason: "If the Danes take revenge, they will take the lead in storming Saaremaa. These servants who accept my reward cannot defeat the Danish army, they will die for our benefit, and such people should live in Give me some good food and clothes when I'm here."

Listen, Konusson stopped asking...

Trarang is still an outsider, and their lives in the following days are strictly guarded, and their every move is monitored.

Because they are always working as pirates, pirates are the least trustworthy, always thinking of maximizing their own interests at any time, and even killing each other.

Rurik despises pirates, which is actually different from the attitude of many people. Trarang's group is considered to be surrendered, and it remains to be questioned whether the entire village of Saaremaa residents surrenders.

There is another possibility, although not very likely. Will there be some fine work by the Danes? Why did the ocean-going sailboats carrying grains run aground on Saaremaa Island and quickly met the locals, why the locals must insist on surrendering to Ross.

Rurik was worried that there was a Danish meticulous inquiring into the truth of Ross, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was. Since the new king of Denmark can destroy the Ross shop in Hazeby, those guys are definitely not big fools, and they must know the result of doing so. Who can guarantee that the Danes will not take the initiative? They are almost Vikings in the narrow sense. If they assemble an army to attack a little, the Rus will suffer.

So is there a flaw in the Duchy of Ross now?

The flaws are obvious, that is, the principality has expanded from a corner of the fjord to the present. The number of males in the tribal era is not large and must be guarded by troops to guard various large settlements, and must also rely on the local Slavs and Finns. . Although groups of children are growing and being born, it will take time for them to grow into warriors.

Most of the men in the Rosbon family farm in Novgorod and Mstisk on the banks of Lake Ilmen. If Novrosburg at the mouth of the Neva River is attacked by Denmark, the fresh troops in the rear will be afraid from the news to the aggressive attack. It's ten days.

Trarang and his guys can't see the whole city of New Roseburg!

Rurik "imprisoned" these people in the house. Of course, they served delicious food and drink. It was impossible to go out without the permission of the prince, and the soldiers standing guard would not take the initiative to open the door.

It has been three days since he was "imprisoned". Although he has delicious meals every day, Trarang feels like a hedgehog in a wooden box and a turtledove in a vine cage.

Someone muttered in annoyance: "Prince Ross still can't trust us."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and more and more voices complained.

"Since Prince Ross has recognized our identity,

Treat us as family members. "

"Hey, what do you guys think...will the prince just don't believe us and find a reason to get rid of us in the end."

"Ah?! Not really! We all swore to Odin that we would serve well. Besides, the prince asked us to attack the Danes."

"Don't you see their big ships? Carl, I dare say they will kill us and then the fleet will storm our island. Prince Ross has said that even if we do not choose to surrender, Saaremaa is in his government. In the plan..."

You talk to me more and more, and Trarang made the guys shut up and scolded: "It's too late to say anything now. What can we do? Just stay here and let it go."

"So aren't we the sheep that stay?"

"Carl, what do you want?" Trarang asked excitedly.

"Let's just run away, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Don't you realize that your life is not safe until the axe touches your neck?"

This remark actually moved Trarang to his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. "Okay! Let's escape. Grab a boat and get out of here..."

Trarang is completely unable to predict the consequences of doing so, but the time is not yet ripe for him to do it.

They were kept under house arrest in a very warm house, with oat cakes and roast meat every day, and everyone could get some ale. And this house has a separate compartment! There is a squat toilet inside!

There is a pottery urn under the hole in the toilet, and there is a lot of filth in it. The hole isn't big enough, and it looks like it can be expanded by hand. Disgusting is disgusting. The hole is at least connected to the outdoors. They have not known what happened outside for many days. They only think that they can escape through this hole.

But the outdoors is quietly changing...

The snow finally fell, and there was no storm, and no one felt its coldness.

At first, it was just snow, then small snowflakes, and finally snowflakes that were densely packed together like lint.

The whole world was extremely quiet and dark. Trarang and his group, who were hiding in the closed room, didn't know this, but the people who went to the toilet felt the coolness of the outdoors. This is not surprising, after all, winter is coming.

Everyone felt that their time was running out, and everyone was waiting for Tralang to make up his mind to escape.

On the other hand, in the Hermitage of Raja Rus, a special meeting is taking place.

Rurik sent everyone apart and invited the explorer Speuter into the inner room to talk.

The oil lamp illuminated the room brightly, and Rurik sat cross-legged rather casually.

Seeing Spuut coming, he waved: "You don't have to be polite, just sit down."

That being said, Speuter still gave the warrior salute, and then sat down calmly: "Sir, what is the big deal, want you and I to have a secret conversation?" After speaking, he sneaked around the room again: " No one should be eavesdropping on our secret conversation."

Rurik shrugged and said straight to the point: "You explained to me your long-cherished wish last year. You long to travel far away and see this vast world with your own eyes. You want to go farther than the Rus of all ages, you do The best explorer. So, you need me to provide you with a big ship."

Did the prince actually mention this? !

Spuut's slightly drooping back was instantly straightened, and his leisurely expression instantly turned into excitement: "Sir, did you really allow it?"

"Of course. I invited you here to focus on explaining the matter."

"You are so wise!" After saying that, Speuter knelt down again and saluted.

"Why do you need to salute again? We have to explain this matter well, and you and I have to make a contract."

"Follow my orders, I dare not violate the prince's contract."

"Very good." Rurik sighed: "You are very good at manipulating the Salmon Chief, but he is not your property. In the past two years, you have completed the mission of Sorgon and transportation to Britain, and you are already the best in the whole of Rus. A ship that is good at sailing."

"I am indeed the strongest!" Speuter liked this compliment very much, and his voice was also very loud.

"Good! Very spirited! Your route must pass through the waters controlled by the Danes. Now I will give you a more difficult task besides the British Sorton mission every autumn. I want you to control the large ship and actively attack the Danish ships."

Things got serious when Rurik gave his final words. Speuter thought of the many news he had heard, that Ross was in trouble in Denmark, and Ross was planning a large-scale retaliatory military operation against Denmark.

He couldn't help but speculate: "I heard something, our Rus army is going to expedition to Denmark. Do you want me to be a pioneer, to find out the truth of the enemy, and wait for the opportunity to kill wildly to create fear? I remember that you manipulated the Avlora. did such a thing."

"You're so smart!" Rurik slapped his thigh with a smug look on his face: "You're going to wreak havoc in the Danish waters! I'll increase the armament of the Salmon Chief, more torsion slingshots and more A crossbow, and a sturdier bronze bulbous ram. I want you to ram all ships you come across, don't worry, just attack! You can capture the drowning, if you ask if it's the Danes or Bornhall Just kill the Mu people. You don't want to leave alive, you will sink the ships you encounter."

Like other Ross natives, Speuter was involved in virtually every major war Ross fought. If he slaughtered wildly, he would have no psychological burden, but wondered why the prince needed to be executed.

"There are also people among the Danes who can be used by us, such as that Grund, who is now also appointed by you as a guard? We can bring back some captives, and it is also very good to be a slave for the first time."

Rurik shook his head decisively: "It was they who attacked and slaughtered wildly first, so don't blame me for taking equal revenge. Spuut, put away your reason? Don't I know that slaves can be used to cut wood and dig stones? I just want to take revenge on Denmark. Kingdom, let their fishing boats and merchant ships come and go. And you sank the boat and killed the fisherman. Without witnesses, you can't reveal your identity. Presumably those people are more willing to believe that Kraken's terrifying tentacles destroyed the boat. This way You can attack like crazy and terrorize the Danes, I'd love to. Would you...will?"

The prince's description was so refreshing to Spewt.

Some things are indeed very new to the people of this era, such as the "broken war" that Rurik decided to engage in.

"I would."

"Very good. When the sea ice thaws next year, you will organize a group of brothers to kill ruthlessly in the Danish waters. The only thing you pay attention to is to collect treasure. The ship is my weapon and mine, I don't want much, you I want half of all the loot. When your ship is full, hurry to Tombstone Island to unload it, where you can sell it immediately."

"Ah! Isn't this a chance for you to reward me with a fortune?"

"Exactly. You and your mates will get rich, you are the only pirates I admit, and your actions are part of the war!"

Rurik went on to describe a wonderful scene to Spuut, in which a group of warriors manoeuvring a large ship rammed across the sea, the top of the mast was hoisted with a flag painted with carbon black skulls, and even the sails were painted with visible black stripes.

It would be best if the ship did not have any witnesses at the time of the crime, and if there were, it would have left the Danes with the impression of a "black monster".

In fact, the Rus people will still be exposed. Who has a big ship and who has a triangular Latin sail in this sea area?

The Denmark Strait in a broad sense is not a vast existence, and it is densely populated with large and small islands, which are very suitable for a ship to hide, and it is also convenient for surprise attacks.

Spuut also has a secret weapon - information superiority. Rurik's memory map of Denmark was naturally inaccurate, but the most important islands and the entire Jutland peninsula were clearly marked. They can use the big island as a reference, and mark the newly discovered island on the map according to the actual situation during the mission.

Another task they had was to go to the island of Saaremaa to declare the rule of Raja Rus and use the island as a forward base for the war against Denmark. The island will be the first berth for Speuut, and the island's human resources are also extremely important, and they can support the supply and personnel losses of the war.

It can be said that Rurik intends to train Spuut to be a king of royal pirates, with a group of the islanders of Saaremaa, who will first attack the economy of Denmark before the Ross-Denmark war. It seems that a ship can't do much, but it's not, and the horror atmosphere that comes with it makes more sense.

Speuter happily accepted the order, although he probably couldn't be the captain of the flag, it was also good to be the "royal pirate" bestowed by him.

In terms of feelings, he actually likes the group of Saaremaa islanders, especially since there is no local tribal leader at all, maybe...

He took the opportunity to make a request to Rurik: "I can be the war chief (leader) of the people of Saaremaa, which can better mobilize human resources."

Rurik did not hesitate, and in accordance with the existing management, he appointed Speuter as governor of the island. Spuut is the unequivocal leader of the entire Saaremaa Island. The Governor represents the will of the prince, and his power is all rewarded by the prince. In theory, this power could be withdrawn at any time, and he vowed to do everything for his own benefit.

A brave explorer promises to become the most dangerous One Piece in the Baltic Sea!

Spuut confirmed that his opportunity to make a fortune had come. He was authorized to choose his own crew to be the crew. Except for the old friends who were still alive with him, he thought of the islander Trarang and his gang.

Facts have proved that the islanders have never seen the world, their learning ability is fast, and they are already doing some auxiliary work on the final return.

Then on the second night of the small meeting, an unbearable embarrassment happened.

Trarang and his group felt that the time to escape was ripe, and they used brute force to open the hole in the toilet, but in fact they lifted the wooden board. The snowy night was very quiet, but the noise still startled the mercenaries who were patrolling the night without fear.

After all, this is the capital of a country! Even if she is not a particularly huge city, the basic city defense measures already exist, such as soldier patrols at night, and the rotation of the city walls.

Some unfortunate person knocked over the dung tank, and immediately made a dirty and foul smell. Everyone didn't care too much, and scrambled to climb out of the wooden hole, only to be dumbfounded when they saw the whiteness outside on the snowy night. When they started to flee, they were captured on the spot by patrolmen who heard the news.

Because of the peculiarity of the times, New Roseburg has a curfew at night. This is very reasonable. Even a professional hunter would not dare to scramble around at this point in the harsh winter night, for fear of being frozen to death.

Most of the patrols were soldiers and mercenaries. They were wearing thick polar bear leather, which was a perfect camouflage. This frightened the Trarang and his group, thinking that a group of intruding polar bears had used the brothers as food.

As a result, these "bears" showed their halberds and swords, killing everyone.

The next day, all ten of them were escorted before Rurik.

Things made people speechless, and Rurik grimaced to hear their explanation.

Trarang is also Hanhan, knelt on the ground and said bluntly: "We just wanted to run away because you wanted to chop off our heads."

"Ridiculous!" Rurik slapped himself on the face, "You actually think you are sheep to be slaughtered? Confused! Look at the snow, the frozen river and the sea, you are not the bravest hunters, now You don’t even have any weapons or food. If you escape, you will freeze to death! When the snow melts, the foxes will eat your corpses, leaving only the bones. Keeping you in the house is to protect you.”

"Ah?! That's actually the case?!" Trarang believed it to be true, claiming that he had been foolishly misunderstood. Others, on the other hand, thought things were a little weird.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Rurik solemnly introduced Spuut, who has a new position: "He will be the chief (governor) of Saaremaa and manage you on my behalf. You are all my warriors, how can I Stupid enough to hurt my subjects? Do good things with Speuter in the future, and you'll all make a fortune in looting the Danes!"

Now Trarang suddenly became wise, and immediately supported Speuter, which attracted everyone else to agree that he was the boss.

At least, Trarang can trust Speuter. If his brother-in-law can't trust him, is he still a human?
