Chapter 1,353 Pskov at This Time Is Like the Eye of a Hurricane, with Murderous Intent Lurking in the Peaceful Atmosphere.

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [ ] Fastest update! No ads!

Those were the outer security sentries that Rurik arranged as usual, and now they were some reconnaissance cavalry.

The cavalry squad was initially surprised by the sudden appearance of a team. Adhering to their war experience, they took it for granted that this might be the army sent by Pskov. As they saw the flag of Ross, the four-deer sled with Ross's characteristics, and Gradually, I noticed that there were men, women, and many children in this team.

Only then did they emerge from their hiding place. The nailed shoes of the war horses stirred up countless pieces of ice. The cavalry team arrived before Orafin's team could take precautions.

"Are you Nightcrawler Orafin? Didn't you go home to report the news? This...could he be your friend?" The riding team leader took off his sunglasses and kept adjusting his restless horse, spinning around. ask.

"Yes! They are all my friends. The whole community has moved."

"Is this what you call hiding?"

Orafin had no time to delay any longer. It was really good luck to meet the Russian scouts now. He simply urged: "We have to arrive at the Rope Village immediately to meet with the king. I want to tell the king the most important thing."

"What's the big deal? Could it be..." The captain glanced absently at the chaotic team: "Could it be that you were kicked out by that Gore? Well, if that guy decides to arm himself and fight us, the king will be relieved."

The words came from the mouth of the most junior officer, and there was no doubt that Orafin heard what he said with interest. He really didn't expect that the grassroots personnel of the Ross Army were looking forward to fighting.

"That's right. Just think that we were kicked out! Take us away quickly! I want to see the king."

"Okay! I'll lead the way." The team leader immediately turned the horse's head and ordered his men to go back and report in a hurry to recruit more reindeer sleighs to pick up everyone who was dawdling on the ice.

The cavalry moved extremely fast, and for Rurik, he didn't know that Olafin understood "hiding" so well.

Now that the entire small community has separated from the larger community, it might as well be fully accepted now.

Rurik also decided to screen the arriving personnel again to ensure that there were no secret conversations from Gower's side. Especially tonight, the arriving team must be strictly monitored.

A sleigh team was ordered to meet them, and the empty planks were quickly filled with people.

They were all four-deer sleds, even though they were pulled by doe. Sufficient power ensured that the whole team arrived at the Ross Army Camp in Rope Village before the sun set.

The surrendered villages have now become logistics bases, and leader Manchico mobilizes the villagers to do what they can for the army that is about to go to war. So the women used the large iron pots of the Russians to cook food for them, and some damaged items such as gloves and hats were given to these women to sew.

The men in the village are going to help in the battle tomorrow, and today even the boys are taking their newly obtained iron axes to cut down trees, only to provide wood for the Russian army.

The help of the villagers will be immediately visible and rewarded - eating with the army.

As for the new group of Danish businessmen who had surrendered, Rurik was willing to give them a hot meal.

They arrived at the camp successfully, and the first thing that greeted them was the cavalry unit led by Brody, who were surrounded by cavalry teams.

"Olafin!" he shouted loudly: "Get your people down, gather together and follow me."

"Okay!" That's it. The clever Olafine immediately rectified the staff.

It was at this time that a middle-aged man took off his hat. He was Bohm. This guy opened his arms and walked happily towards Brody.

Suddenly, an arrow hit the ice with a whoosh, throwing up some debris and then bouncing to the side. Pom was so startled that he stopped immediately.

"Wait! Who are you?" Brody asked his men to draw their bows.

"Yes! I know, you are Brody. Brody beside King Rose."

"You? You actually know my name?"

"I'm Bohm. I've been to your New Roseburg and lived there for half a year." Bohm said with an awkward smile and a flattering tone: "I have traveled with you. I am not an enemy, we are friends. "

"Really? I am not familiar with you visitors. Since you have

We are part of the expedition team, at least we are not enemies. Maybe the king still recognizes you, come with me now. "

At that time, Brody looked down upon those explorers who seemed to be drifting aimlessly, and had no intention of delving into their identities. The world is really big and small enough. I thought it was just a casual relationship, but never thought I could meet an old friend here?

Brody was surprised but didn't take it seriously, while Rurik was on the other hand. He was really surprised when he learned that a visitor from that year had reappeared in such a way.

Three men followed Orafin to meet King Rus.

These people knelt down on one knee very skillfully, covered their hearts with their right hands, and slightly nodded their heads.

"Come on. Pom, you guys are not warriors, so there is no need to salute me. It's really strange. I thought you were loyal to Goul, but it turns out that you are also a group of freedom-loving guys?"

Rurik's mood was very soothing, which relaxed the tense spirits of these people.

Pom had no intention of being polite here, precisely because he had spent half a year in Russian society, and he was the only one in Pskov who knew Rus best, and therefore knew the character of the King of Rus better.

"There is only one master in the northern world, and that is King Ross. Of course we ordinary people must follow the hero, and that is you. So we are here."

"Honey spitting at the mouth? I like your flattery very much, don't say it next time." Rurik was naturally in a good mood, and asked eagerly: "So you are here to take refuge?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving us the opportunity to take refuge. However..."

"How? Do you have something to hide?"

"That's true." Pom pointed to the direction of the lower reaches of the glacier: "There are two people who received your favor and became traitors. They told Gower the news of the arrival of the Ross army, and they must also tell Gower You are going to attack!"

Rurik's soothing expression gradually became serious. Although he estimated that Gore would take precautions, he never thought that he would launch defense in this way? Rurik wanted to make a surprise attack, relying on the speed advantage of the cavalry and reindeer sleigh to quickly cut into the large community of Pskov and directly complete the beheading of Gore.

Of course the enemy can't be that stupid! The Ross army's movement speed is not as fast as a plane's dive.

When the large army sacrificed their lives in great force, those Danish immigrants refused to take precautions because they were out of their minds! After all, they were Danes speaking Norse!

Rurik might underestimate the various Slavic tribes, but he never underestimated the Norse-speaking Danes or other Viking tribes.

It was for this reason that he asked the army to start preparing their armaments from last night in order to fight against Gower's Danish army in the worst case scenario.

Now after Bohm's description, everyone can give up their fantasies and adjust their mentality according to the standards of a decisive battle tomorrow!

Rurik even realized that he already had a reason to inspire the fighting spirit of the entire army.

Two former guests advising Goyle against Ross? That must be it.

Because betrayers are the most hateful!

Rurik did not doubt Bohm's statement at all, or he did not need to believe or doubt it. After all, this statement was very beneficial to the Russian army's future operations. After all, when the army is dispatched, it is necessary to "make a name for itself" as much as possible. If there is no reason, create a reason. Now I have basically found an excuse.

All people who arrived at the camp received a bowl of hot meals. Since there were only about thirty families in the small community, except for two families who had become traitors, everyone else had arrived here. It was actually very simple to manage them.

To control these people, it is enough to control the women and children of the community.

For Manchico, the leader of Nianzhuang (Rope Village), the houses in the village are enough to accommodate more children and serve as temporary shelters. What the villagers are most concerned about is who will pay for the food after taking in these children.

Rurik asked the villagers to take good care of the children in these small Danish communities, because the children and their parents had to stay in the village.

That night, he gathered officers from all levels of the army, and more than 200 people gathered together.

Home to Orafin, Pom, and other small communities

Long, they had to obey King Rus' request to participate in this pre-war event.

Businessmen cannot completely separate themselves from the war and cannot sit back and enjoy the benefits. Rurik does have use for these locals. After the battle, Orafin and others will be needed to clean up the mess.

This was not a discussion under a small campfire. Rurik was standing on a sled, with a blazing fire behind him.

The officers stood in a circle around him, listening to the majestic king's speech.

"Our enemy! Gal of Pskov is armed! How abominable! The guest we treated so kindly a year ago has turned traitor! Two guys are tipping Gal that our planned raid has been unrealistic!"

Rurik emphasized the words traitor and betrayal in a high-profile manner, and the officers' anger was quickly aroused.

"Some people may say, why do we want to go to war with the Danes in Pskov? No! We only want to go to war with Gower and his family. Originally, the battle would be over as long as he is eradicated.

But! Now that Gore and his men are armed, we can only form a majestic formation to fight them.

All of you, have no illusions and remember that the enemy is very powerful. Many of you will participate in the expedition to Frank during the warm season. You did not exert sufficient combat effectiveness in the battle in Smolensk. I have doubts about the strength of some people. Who will be qualified to fight in Frank? You need a real battle to prove yourself, and you must prove yourself in the Battle of Pskov..."

The crusade against Pskov turned into a battle to kill traitors, prove oneself, and sacrifice Odin's blood in Rurik's mouth. The officers cheered and shouted, and as some people drew their swords and pointed them toward the sky, more people followed suit. For a moment, the bonfire illuminated these Ross steel swords that towered into the sky, and their fighting spirit could shake down the snow in the forest.

[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.

The capital city is still talking about the various expeditions and wars of the past, but these two are keenly aware of the killing behind this glory, especially - the Kingdom of Rus is the murderer of the massacre on Gotland!

The prosperous Gotland in the past suddenly fell into silence at the port of Visby. There are rumors that the Swedish army completely destroyed it and the islanders were almost wiped out. Today, Gotland only has Swedish immigrants.

Although Pskov has no direct contact with Gotland Island, various news can reach Pskov through merchant relays.

Those rumors are all true! There is a lot of evidence for this in the capital of Rus, because the "bread-selling woman" is a descendant of the former Gotland nobles.

Ross was originally from Sweden, and was originally just one of the tribes, but suddenly rose to prominence under the two generations of leaders Otto and Rurik.

Ross's power does not need to be described in words. As long as you stand at the port and look at the mountain-like ship floating on the ice at the frozen anchorage, no one can deny their power.

If they target Pskov, will they...

It was because they saw the duality of the Kingdom of Ross that they were unwilling to follow Orafin to follow King Ross after some deliberation. Of course, they are not fans of Gore, they just simply hope that Pskov will avoid military disaster.

In the eyes of the two of them, Pskov is not a weakling. Boss Gower has enough courage to mobilize the army to assemble. If he organizes the miscellaneous local villagers and puts together a large army, he will be able to compete with the Russian army from afar. In a battle, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

With this mentality, they rushed into the peaceful Danish community and the main city of Pskov.

It is centered on a large Danish community that is on the river and adjacent to the mouth of the river into the lake, supplemented by a large number of local Krivic houses built around it, thus forming the main city of Pskov without wooden walls for defense.

There are a large number of villages near the main city, because the flat soil of this lakeside area is suitable for farming. Even if Boss Gower now asks for tribute, it is impossible for the Krivic villages to abandon this geomantic treasure land. If they can endure it, I will give the food to the boss in exchange for stability.

The food imported into the city has resulted in the people in the large community becoming increasingly supportive of Gore. Now that every household has received a batch of free food, they are more willing to stay at home and rely on more food reserves to wait for spring.

For now, Svard and Carlotta, they leave their families in the empty winding streets for the time being.

The two of them rushed to the big leader's mansion. Such a reckless behavior was naturally detained by the guards, and this was exactly what they wanted.

No one broke into the boss's mansion for no reason. The two of them yelled loudly. The sudden noise was punched by the guards and successfully attracted Gore himself out of the longhouse.

Let’s take a look at Gower, who is in his forties. He walked out in a high profile surrounded by ten local girls.

These Klivi girls are the "tributes" he specially asked for this year. If he can't get enough food, he will use beautiful girls to pay for it.

It's not that he has a crush on these women and must have an intimate relationship with them. It is not surprising that a powerful man has many wives and concubines, but as a powerful man with rapidly expanding power, Gore felt that he needed some measures to be worthy of his noble status, such as arranging some maids.

It's just that the young and powerful Gore really indulged in the tenderness of these beauties during the boring winter. Compared with his wrinkled wife, these girls were the most comfortable.

His somewhat sluggish spirit was frozen by the cold air outside. He ordered these maids to retreat, and ordered several warriors to stand beside him to show his majesty.

"What's going on with you two? Why did you break into my mansion? Are you tired of living?"

I just got punched and felt like one of my molars was loose. Swader was angry. After all, he reported the news to Gower because everyone lived together in this small area. In essence, he was not Gower's subject, and he had no intention of groveling.

Swader covered his mouth and spoke with anger: "Goyle, you are going to die! Don't you know?!"

"You? How dare you curse me, a tiny little insect? Someone, tie this man up."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Goyle was about to

Using violence, Carlotta also covered her face and shouted: "Don't you want to know how you will die?"

"Let them finish talking first." Gore, who narrowed his eyes fiercely, waved his hand to stop his subordinates who were about to take action.

"Ross! Do you know Ross?" Carlotta continued.

"I know. You...could you be from the community in the south? You didn't listen to me in the first place. I looked at you two looking familiar. Could it be..."

"It's us. You are such a noble person and forgetful about things. Half a year ago, our brothers wanted you to report what they had seen in Ross, and even brought you a gift from the King of Ross."

"Oh? I remembered." Gore patted his forehead: "Go on, who dares to kill me?"

"King of Rus! King Rurik of Rus!"

"Huh?" This was the most baffling explanation Gao Er had ever heard.

Carlotta and Swade both pointed to the upper reaches of the river: "Tomorrow! The Ross army will launch an attack. Rurik decides to kill you. In the end, our Pskov will be destroyed."

"What? Rurik wants to kill me? Why should he? Besides, didn't he come to Pskov as a guest?" Gore still couldn't figure out the situation. Based on his career of more than forty years, he knew that these two people He would not be stupid enough to risk his own life for fun. Although it is unbelievable, what they said may be true.

Gao Er closed his eyes and thought for a while, then immediately ordered: "Come here, escort these two people into the house. Let's... talk slowly and in detail."
