Chapter 648 All Servants Who Submit to Ross Will Be Protected by Ross

Very suddenly, Svetlana, who was standing on the deck, jumped excitedly, pointing to the village ahead. She was taught to be serious and restrained by her parents, but now she has completely recovered her naughty nature.

"It's White Tree Manor! My home!"

"Is that so? White Tree Manor is indeed a very big village." Rurik was actually a little disappointed. He arrived in Novgorod for the first time, and he thought he would see a pure Slav city. The "new big city" should be a huge rural area.

In fact, the so-called Novgorod in the mouth of the locals is the name of a collective of farms.

Rurik's construction of permanent walls, defensive towers, dedicated docks, port cranes, etc. in major settlements is the existence that is detached from today's Eastern Europe and Northern Europe. It is Ross who redefines what a city is.

He arrived at the White Tree Manor for the first time in the attitude of a king, and arrived at the family home of his wife Svetlana. He can estimate the enthusiasm of the local people for him, and now is a particularly severe period, presumably the local people urgently need the army of Duke Ross to bring absolute safety.

Of course, Rurik saw a large number of ships on the shore and determined that the place was not attacked.

Perhaps not necessarily, the traitor may have launched an attack and been defeated by his father and the local armed forces.

He still felt that the atmosphere was very delicate, and the war alarm must be true. As for the situation of the enemy, the statement reported by Konusson must have been exaggerated. Exactly what happened, only when he got off the ship and held a military meeting could he know.

The Avlora sailed to the shore and dropped the anchor. Several cables were dropped. The people who disembarked early pulled the ropes and tied them to the nearby trees.

The entire main fleet came to a standstill, and the waters of the Volkhov River were powerless to wash it away.

Having learned some lessons from the British campaign, ships such as the Avlora had more pure paddle boats strapped to the two broadsides.

The boat was put down, and Rurik stood firm for the first time in the land called Novgorod.

How could Svetlana, who was disembarking with her, hide her excitement?

She jumped left and right on the grass near the shore of the landing site, bent down to collect a lot of wildflowers, and casually made a bouquet and put it on her head.

"Does it look good?"

A lovely smiling face sideways in front of Rurik.

"It's beautiful. It's still a long way from your home. I want to see Otto early, and your father Rigus. Rigus is an old man, right? I haven't seen him yet."

"It's not too old." Lanna pouted slightly in protest, and she stepped back behind Rurik without doing anything else.

There are many reed swamps on the banks of the Volkhov River, and there are not many good landing sites everywhere.

Rurik had picked a good place, enough to land two thousand people without getting their boots dirty.

Almost everyone is landing. The brothers have gone through several consecutive days of voyages. They have seen a whole new world. The thought of fighting a new enemy makes the brothers excited.

Someone shouted, holding up a round shield and roaring. More people followed suit, and many people laughed.

They were clearly eager to fight, and they were about to fight as soon as they got off the ship.

"The morale of the brothers is very good!" Arik got close to his brother, and pointed his finger in front of him: "A lot of people have come, and they are all from us."

"Yes. I've seen him. The long beard is so recognizable."

Rurik was talking about Otto, the old soldier who looked very tough at first glance, and apparently the assassination did not hurt.

"Come on, brother," he said.

A group of soldiers followed Rurik to meet them spontaneously. At the same time, Otto, Rigus and others were also extremely surprised.

Rigus tried his best to walk on crutches, panting heavily and asking, "Is this the main force of Ross? Is Rurik really here?"

"He's here. Old man, can't you see?" Otto smiled reproachfully.

"Is it Rurik? My eyes are dim."

"It's okay, your little daughter is there too. This is Ross' main army, and we're sure to win!"

"Great. Ah! It's like a pile of snow, is it really my eyesore?" Rigus couldn't help asking again.

Otto wanted to laugh, and Medved hurriedly explained: "The main fighters of Ross are dressed exactly the same. If there is no accident, they will wear blue and white robes, so that they will not accidentally hurt their comrades in battle."

"It's amazing."

Rigus could no longer use his limited vocabulary to describe the sound of the gunshots of the army. He finally saw his youngest daughter, Svetlana, and a handsome boy.

he? Is that Rurik? The eldest daughter Lilia was right.

Regus followed Otto closely. Among the many stout Russ warriors, his hunched body was really unbearable for Fella, and he was not obviously proud of his youngest daughter marrying a king.

Two Rus armies meet at the lakeside meadow south of Whitetree Manor, where the two generations of Rus rulers look at each other.

Otto was excited, and put a large hand full of calluses on the top of his son's head: "Boy, do you really think the Karelians are as powerful enemies as Denmark? You brought the entire Rus army?"

"No, just three flag teams, and the entire fleet."

"This is the lumberjack to kill rabbits." Otto shook his head.

"Maybe, but now there's an emergency. Father, it looks like a stupid attacker can't do you any harm."

"That's natural." Otto laughed wildly.

"I also heard that there are 10,000 enemies. Is this reliable?"

"Of course."

The news was confirmed, and Rurik was slightly relieved. He felt a little war pressure, and his fighting spirit became violent: "The enemy is very brave, and if they choose war, they should preferably be killed. This time I brought the main force to clean up. They are their honor."

"It's a big talk, but I like it." Otto smiled again, and suddenly pushed out the seemingly dull old guy Rigus.

At this moment, Svetlana's calmness completely dissipated, she threw herself on it, ignoring the onlookers of other people, hugging her old father Rigus Kejin and acting like a spoiled child.

In this scene, Rurik could only twist his shoulders to embarrass his woman.

The face is fair and neat, and the eyes are deep and sharp. The chin and lips have a slight blond beard, the hair is well done, and the blond ponytail in the sun is reflective!

The clothes are gorgeous, and the dagger hanging from the belt shows nobility.

He was very young, clearly a teenager.

There is an essential difference between a teenager and a teenager. This teenager is just standing here. The best adjective that Rigus can think of is God of War!

There is no single main god in the traditional beliefs of the Slavs. The Ilmen Slavs living in the Novgorod region highly respect Peron, the god of war. Peron is the god of war, the god of fire, the god of Hercules, and the god of all masculinity. He is the image of a burly man. It is expected that this Rurik will become as burly and strong as his father Otto in a few years.

"You are Rurik! Such a perfect man, it's like Peron came into the world." Rigus couldn't help but praise, he also reached out his hand subconsciously, and was fortunate enough to touch Rurik's face.

Rurik let the old guy touch it with a smile. After all, a large number of Slavic warriors at White Tree Manor were standing here, and letting the manor owner be intimate with him was really a way for the real king to show his closeness to the people.

In private, Rurik knew something about this man's past. Rigus was not so stooped more than ten years ago. This person is an old acquaintance of Dad Otto, and he is also a "loyal old servant".

Ligus is indeed an old man, such an old guy actually has a beautiful little daughter. No, Svetlana's sister Lilia is also very beautiful.

They were all the seeds of this old guy, and Rurik could only feel the wonder of a life.

Maybe not only that, because Rigus is the owner of the manor and has great power to marry a beautiful local woman, and the daughter he gave birth to is naturally beautiful.

"You are Rigus," Rurik asked in fluent Slavic.

Rigus was taken aback, "You are better at our language than Lord Otto?"

"Exactly, there is no barrier between you and me. You are Svetlana's father, and now I see you. Unfortunately, you are old and may not be able to witness some great things again."

Ligus didn't think too much: "You are the most handsome man I have ever seen, and you have the greatest army in the world. And I am your loyal servant."

The old guy's flattering words caused Rurik to be slightly surprised. Most of the polite words were superfluous. He shook his head: "I still have some important things to ask you. Come, I want to enter the White Tree Manor."

"Then... invite your army to my manor as a guest, and I will provide delicious meals."

Rurik heard that this was a polite remark. In fact, Rigus was really willing to take care of the army that came from afar, and he was willing to provide a batch of delicious meals to support this strong army.

Rurik rejected this idea. The so-called "you are afraid that my people will eat up your warehouse".

So is the benevolence of the prince, so is the arrogance of the prince, and more so is the wisdom of the prince!

Rigus found that the main force of Ross was guarding the fleet to set up camp in the forest near the village. They actually intended to camp instead of disturbing the people of the manor.

What a merciful king! Direct judgment against the patriarchal villain Vadim.

The actions of Rurik, Duke of Ross, were seen by the white tree, the calf, and the people of the Fisherman's Manor. The people of the manor have already given Otto's men a batch of supplies, and they basically provide this as a tribute. If two or three thousand strong men come to eat, who can stand it?

What they saw was Lord Duke Ross's camping outside the village. They clearly had their own food, and they did not damage the wheat fields. At most, they stretched out fishing rods by the river.

Rurik brought enough food to feast for ten days. He estimated that within ten days, the pine needle manor of the initiator of the rebellion could be wiped out by violent means.

He has enough food reserves, and the initiative is in Ross's hands!

That night, the main army of Ross lit a star-like bonfire.

Rigus did have the right not to give material provisions, but Rurik could not, and he could not deny Rigus.

Not only Rigus, but also Tolly and Usky. They ordered their subordinates to provide fresh meat and fish to reward the rebel army. The reason for generosity was very pure. The two wanted to represent their manor in front of Rurik. In the limelight, posing as a wagging pug with the intention of grabbing huge profits after victory.

Although the army that was exhausted by boats and cars was eager to fight immediately, they were so tired that they rushed to the shacks to sleep soundly after eating.

However, a group of young women wearing garlands, holding some barrels filled with ale and kvass, showed up at Ross's main camp.

This is a gift from the owner of the manor. How can you not drink the wine that was brought up? As for these women who came to the door in person, they labored with the skills that only they could perform at the request of their respective manor owners.

Rurik could have guessed what would happen in the camp. He was essentially opposed to these things, but objectively they had some positive meanings that could be exploited.

Because Ross will change the strategy that he has implemented for more than 50 years, some things are better to be done later!

Rurik had already figured it out very clearly. During the voyage, he had a lot of time to plan new strategies, and he took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellion to implement them.

That night, a large space in the White Tree Manor was carved with wood.

This building became a temporary Duma parliamentary chamber, where generals of the Rus army, important soldiers, and skilled people gathered.

Locals such as Rigus of Whitetree Manor, and Tory and Uski, who were sheltering from the war, were ordered to obey the new arrangements of the Duke of Ross.

The situation surprised everyone. Lord Rurik, who had just landed, had boundless enthusiasm. He had no intention of going to a banquet or asking for anything. He said that he was in a hurry to arrange matters related to the war.

The oil lamp in the woodcut Lengli flickered, and a circle of burly warriors sat in the dimly lit room.

Rurik sat in the core position as the duke, and even Otto had the intention of taking a second seat.

"Now, tell me all about the rebels," Rurik said in Slavic.

His remarks were aimed at Rigus, and Rigus responded quickly, indicating: "Then let me talk about the hateful White Tree Manor..."

With a slightly hoarse voice, Rigus told the guilt of Pine Needle Manor, and when he was excited, the old guy was trembling all over.

"Enough!" The old father-in-law of Rurik shut up and looked at the two defectors: "Tell me what you saw and heard."

Tori and Uski come with great spirits, and they rage against the stupidity of the mutiny at Pineneedle Manor, accusing the father-killer Vadim of being the root of all evil.

In fact, many manors were forced by Vadim to participate in the rebellion, but if those manors suffered severe setbacks, wouldn't they be fishing in troubled waters because of their loyalty to their masters?

Tolly and Uski had a common interest, and they sang a chorus, claiming that a large number of farms had raised the flag of treachery, and that he was loyal and would give all the men to form an army to maintain the authority of the Rus.

This is the humility of a servant! Rurik was satisfied with the way they nodded and bowed, but was also a little disgusted.

Because, they are just the dogs of the Rus. But there is a group of rebels throughout the region, led by a leader named Vadim. Rurik somewhat admired this rebel, at least the existence of this person and his subordinates proved that the locals still had courage.

Alas, the rebels must die.

Rurik first asked the locals to explain the situation in Slavic, which he said was sending a positive signal.

After that, he asked his father Otto to explain what happened to him.

Without letting himself speak first, when it was Otto's turn to speak, the old guy snorted out of his breath: "Want to hear about my experience? Brat, if you show kindness this time, I won't allow it, Pine Needle Manor will be punished. Cut weeds and roots."

Some veterans were attacked and killed, and the enemy suddenly burst into a group of armed men. This year's rebels came well prepared, and the initiator was indeed the father-killer of Pine Needle Manor.

Hearing these Ruriks was no longer thrilling.

Dad Otto suggested that he kill Pine Needle Manor's chickens and dogs, is this too cruel? Rurik settled down and asked himself, if someone in northern Europe was called the ruthless butcher during this period, this nickname would undoubtedly be given to Rurik.

"I am kind to my own people, and I have always been murderous to my enemies." Rurik made a self-judgment. He did not bluntly agree with his father's suggestion, nor did he object.

At this meeting, when discussing a very specific crusade against rebellion, Rurik basically thought of the main force's tactics to attack the Pine Needle Manor.

Before the official war meeting, he decided to announce something very important.

Rurik slapped his hands vigorously and motioned for everyone to look over.

He said with a high-pitched voice: "I declare in the form of the Duke of Ross that the rebellious Vadim of Pine Needle Manor, who has established himself as a prince, will be eliminated! The thief and his family will be eliminated. When the rebellion is completely eliminated, the entire promise will be eliminated. Fugorod will enter a new era.

I announce! The fifty-year-old policy of sailing to Novgorod Sorgon will be brought to an end by me! Ross will directly rule this place and will settle here.

I declare that the real walled city will be born in Whitetree Manor, and her name will be Novgorod! The real Novgorod!

In the future, tributes from each manor will be delivered directly to Novgorod.

Novgorod will become the third important city of the Rus Principality, along with Rosburg and Novosibirsk. "

Rurik explained the decision in two languages, what a deafening decision!

Otto stood up in shock, and many soldiers stood up in shock.

"Rurik, this is too radical!" Otto said involuntarily.

Rurik just raised his head, motioned everyone to sit down, and said indifferently: "That is the fate of the Duchy of Ross, all servants who submit to Ross will be sheltered by Ross. Novgorod is a good place for farming, here Despite the rebellion, I see a large number of loyal servants. I will build this place to be our greatest food producing area, and I promise you that Ross and all servants will be well-off by ordering the development. day."

Otto is sitting down. He doesn't understand Rurik's rhetoric. Is a good day worth sharing with servants and slaves? Are slaves worthy? He was thinking of the kindness of his son, but not the kindness that was necessary.

But Rigus and the other Slavs could hear it, as if someone handed a torch when the cold night was shivering.

Rigus fully believed in Rurik's vision for the future. Those ancient wasteland artifacts, the curved plough, were on the farm. I'm afraid this great vision has already been tried.

Lord Rurik decided to deeply cultivate Novgorod, and the people of White Tree Manor, especially his family, would benefit greatly.

The lord was indeed willing to share his wealth with his faithful servant.
