Rise of Rurik

"The Rise of Rurik Novel Cool Notes ()" Find the latest chapter!

At this moment, Rurik was watching secretly behind the human wall. An old soldier standing in front of him was actually the king of the Gotland people?

To be honest, Rurik couldn't be sure, "Why doesn't a great king have a crown? Or are you a warrior? No! Siegfast is a businessman."

The renegade Grund, who led the way, saw a group of fellow countrymen from Denmark and even friends from a village. He didn't want to meet old friends, and he didn't want to be enemies with them. Grande, who was behind the scenes, immediately informed the suspicious Rurik that the person who looked like an old soldier was Haken, a big businessman who had only become king in the last few days.

That being the case, there is no point in continuing to be conservative.

Rurik motioned for his men to follow him.

Soon, a hole appeared in the wall of the Rus. With a smooth golden ponytail, Rurik appeared with brave and arrogant steps. Behind him was poor Sigfast, his hands covered in bruises and scabs, his face covered in bruises, and his mouth tied with a rope and could only groan. The two warriors were pressing on Siegfast's shoulders at all times, and their vicious aura could be said to want to kill this man at any time.

Seeing this scene, Haken's heart dripped blood, and his eyelids kept shaking because of his anger.

Siegfast is still alive, and he has been tortured enough by the Rus to seem mentally ill. The worst result Haken thought was that the Russ would tear up the votes, but he never expected that the Russ would give him a lost soul.

"You are the king of Gotland? What's your name? Haken?" Rurik was not tall, and he deliberately asked arrogantly, making everything very inconsistent.

"Yes, I am the King of Gotland. You? A beautiful boy, who are you from Ross? Children have no right to speak. Let your chief come."

Rurik didn't find it strange at all, so he sneered contemptuously, raised his chin deliberately, and looked at Haken arrogantly: "You are just scum, you dare to call the leader of Ross? I don't want to talk nonsense with you, mark my name. I am Rurik! Rurik of Ruth, brother of Arik of Ruth, blessed by Odin! And... the hero who defeated you Gotlanders."

"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous." Harken's beard was shaking, and he felt that his soul was insulted by a son of a bitch, so he asked: "You are the leader? Have the Rus fallen enough to need a child? leader?"

This remark made Arik, who led the ambush, to show up immediately, and the soldiers with his crossbow bolts suddenly shot.

Rurik, of course, also felt the anger of his brothers,

He just raised his right hand and ordered the soldiers behind him to be calm, and then continued to emphasize: "I am Rurik, the commander of a huge army."

"A huge army? Oh? I can't see it." Haken's eyes looked around, he didn't feel any danger. So, this arrogant child and his guards, have not become lonely sheep? But their son is indeed in their hands.

Rurik did not have any excuses, and now he is not afraid at all. He ordered his men to push Siegfast out: "Your son is here, how about you? I want two hundred pounds of silver."

Haken snapped his fingers, and soon the five suitcases were taken out. The lids of the boxes were all opened, and the inside was full of silver coins. He personally pulled the box and deliberately displayed a huge amount of silver coins.

"The silver coins are all yours, let them go now!"

"No!" Rurik clasped his arms and shook his head, "I want to get the box first."

"Let go first."

"Pay first!"

"You have to let them go first."

"Give the money!"

Every word you say, Rurik always put on a calm face, pretending to be peaceful and asked to get the money first, but Haken's emotions became more and more agitated, and his words became more and more severe.

"Let them go first! Otherwise..."

"Are you going to threaten me?" Rurik narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, the Gotland warriors posed one after another, and the shirtless brawny men deliberately showed off their colorful tattoos.

"What are you doing?! Who are you threatening?" Rurik felt a little bit of fear, and then he thought that there were still many soldiers with crossbows in ambush. With just one order from himself, these pretentious guys would be ambushed because of suffered great losses.

Haken felt sensitively that there was a strong murderous aura hidden in this area, and the bleak and murderous aura of the autumn wind tortured him and really didn't want to stay any longer. The corners of his eyes looked left and right, and he didn't notice much abnormality. Relying on his strength, he became bold.

After all, he is a king, and he is a king himself.

Haken opened his hands, and finally untied the belt that held the short blade.

He walked towards Rurik, feeling a little pressure, Rurik had to take a step back.

After all, the visitor was an adult, and Rurik had to defend himself, the child's body, for the time being, and he couldn't subdue the opponent with his bare hands.

"Child, are you afraid?" Haken continued walking with a smirk.

Rurik was still sending a signal. At this time of crisis, Arik really wanted to take his brothers to attack suddenly, and they were still ambush in the withered grass.

"You! King of the Gotlanders, stop me!" Rurik roared suddenly, and then knocked on the shield of the mercenary behind him.

The elite mercenaries were ready to fight. Suddenly, five more people showed up. They showed their steel-armed crossbows. One of them was ordered to shoot. the sole of his right foot.

Haken was startled and jumped, and the hundreds of Gotland warriors present instantly remembered the legends about the Rus people-their bows were extremely fierce, and they rarely escaped unfortunately.

But because he was still wearing double chain mail, Haken felt that he had ignored the arrows. He suppressed his beating heart with all his strength, took three steps back to calm down, and then restrained his subordinates from acting rashly.

The world fell into a strange silence.

One side is an army of hundreds of people, and the other side is just a dozen people guarding a child.

Suddenly, Haken looked up to the sky and laughed, and then pretended to be arrogant to suppress his fear: "You only have more than ten people, you dare to come and ask for ransom. You, Rurik of Ross, I really can't believe your identity."

"What do you have to do with me or not?" Rurik still used the same rhetoric: "Bring the money first, and I will release Siegfast. Otherwise, I will kill him."

"Do it? You don't dare." Haken didn't want to lose his momentum, he couldn't tolerate being threatened by a Ross' cub. He forcibly ignored Siegfast's pleading eyes and said deliberately: "You guys just do it! But you will be killed by me because of your actions. Look, do you believe that you can beat me with more than a dozen of you? army?"

Was Rurik afraid? Of course not at all.

"It seems that King Gotland has misestimated his own strength. I was thinking of completing this transaction peacefully. It seems that you want to do it. Your name is Haken? Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Rurik suddenly raised his right hand and made a scissors hand.

This is the so-called "V" gesture, which represents the archery finger of the Mediterranean archer, and also refers to the victory word Victoria.

"Let's do it!" Arik stood up first, and Jian Feng pointed to the enemy and ordered to fight.

The fighters who were lying in ambush in the high and high withered grass and bushes suddenly appeared. They fired almost simultaneously. The first round of firing gave the Gotlanders a serious blow.

Quite a few men from Viking tribes were only wearing commoner clothes when they fought, and there were many shirtless men. Ordinary warriors, their protective equipment is only a wooden shield, and nothing else. This is not because they are pursuing the ultimate bravery, it is entirely because of poverty.

Of course, the hundred selected by Haken had a ferocious sea dragon tattooed on their chest and back, and there were other unexplained beasts who were suddenly strong men, who were purely berserkers.

These almost defenseless guys, their white bodies and flowing golden hairs, became the most obvious targets.

The arrows hit them at close range, and a large number of tattooed warriors just realized that they were in an ambush. Just as they were about to raise their swords and axe in front of them, the arrows penetrated deeply into their bodies.

No matter how strong a person was, he suddenly softened and fell to the ground with a mouthful of blood.

In the first round of ambush, more than 30 people fell directly to the ground, and another 50 people were hit by arrows to varying degrees, and they were forcibly persevering.

The long bows and short bows of the Kewen archers continued to output, forcing the Gotland army, who spontaneously started to build the shield wall after the first round of blows, to dare not act rashly.

Haken also slid into the shield wall like a hare digging a hole.

The second round of crossbow salvos came, and there would be as many as forty people to the end.

The brawny men covered in tattoos, who had the opportunity to become berserkers and hoped to become warriors on the battlefield, are now lying on the ground needlessly, vomiting blood helplessly and waiting for a merciless death.

Killing the enemy is such cruelty, and harvesting life is so efficient.

Siegfast was held down the whole time. He once hated his father for not cherishing his own life, and he could only whimper because his mouth was tied with a rope. Now, he sees Gotland join the team and suffer another painful death, while his king's father is as embarrassed as an idiot.

Arik was already there, shield covering his injured arm, looking all normal and wild.

The Ross warriors held crossbow and bow, and spontaneously ran towards the enemy who had shrunk into tortoise shells.

They did not launch a third round of shooting, only because Rurik ordered a suspension. Leshuba

The warriors in ambush appeared, and Haken saw the strength of the Russ through the gap in the shield. He had no time to regret or complain. He saw a large number of deaths of his subordinates, and he simply raised his own mercenaries. Many soldiers on the periphery had been shot by arrows, and they were still standing hard. No one dared to be the first bird in the counterattack battle. , the brave mercenaries are now collectively do turtles.

The strength of the two sides has actually leveled off, and the Rusians have a powerful advantage in momentum.

Looking at the corpses of the enemy and a group of dying people moaning in pain, Rurik's heart beat faster involuntarily.

Seeing the blood of the enemy, Arik laughed arrogantly in excitement.

Rurik only felt an inexplicable excitement, but it couldn't please him, but it was very relieved!

"Hey! King of the Gotlands, are you dead? Who do you think you're threatening? Just a child? Or do you think we Russ are the only ones? Look at these dead people, that's how arrogant you are The price! Listen, you can't be arrogant today, give it to me! Otherwise!"

Haken woke up from the initial dizziness. He was shocked by the crowd of archers and the ferocity of the arrows of his opponents. It was even more regrettable that his own people were suppressed by them and could not counterattack.

He was forced to walk out of the shield wall full of arrows with open arms, walk beside the dying and dead servants, and keep a distance from Rurik.

Arik's sword pointed directly at Haken, and said arrogantly: "You! King of the Gotlanders, do you know me?"

"You? A young warrior."

"I am Arik of Ross. It is said that your people call me Aric the Butcher? This is very good. I want to kill a hundred of you with my own hands on the battlefield of the decisive battle."

"Ah! It's you! Even a hen that lays eggs will be chopped, is that you?" Haken briefly looked at Arik, and saw that the young man took off his helmet and was fluffy with blond hair, his beard had grown, and his eyes were full of eyes. Killing intent.

Rurik silenced his cousin, and Arik shut up.

"Haken, King of Gotland, are you still arrogant now? As long as I give an order, all your people will be shot. Especially you yourself, now that a hundred bows are facing you, your chainmail is meaningless. "

Seeing the current situation, Haken knew that he was in prison, and any move that angered his opponent would result in his sudden death, which was no different from an axe on his neck.

At this point, Haken looked at his kneeling son Siegfast's pleading eyes and sighed regretfully.

"This is actually a trap, and I'm arrogant. I will die here today and be killed by you. However, our Gotlanders' counterattack is like a gust of wind that will overturn all ships. Do it! Rose's son."

"I am Rurik of Rus! Commander of Rus's army! Pay attention to your words!" Rurik ordered sharply, and then said slowly: "I didn't intend to kill you, so don't force me to do it now. Let go. A sigfast is not a problem, and whether you pay a ransom of 200 pounds has no effect on the outcome."

"What? You..." Haken suddenly realized something. He asked tentatively: "What is your purpose? Do you want a decisive battle with everyone from the beginning?"

"The purpose of our Rus? I want your surrender! All your money! Your wives and daughters, your cattle and sheep, your wheat, your ships! And most importantly, you will fail forever."

"You!" Haken was deeply infuriated, he gritted his teeth and smashed one of his decaying front teeth.

"You Russ, you are so arrogant! We Gotlanders have assembled 10,000 warriors in Visby! How many can you have? Three thousand, or four thousand?"

Rurik hooked his head and tried to suppress his smile, but unfortunately he couldn't hold it back at all. "It's already here, do you still want to be brave? You can really dispatch 10,000 people? If you count children who are babbling as soldiers, you can only dispatch up to 5,000 people, but in my opinion, you can dispatch 10,000 people. Ten thousand people are also our offerings to Odin."

The blond brat was right, Haken asked himself, and he felt that the army that Visby could muster would be five thousand in the end. Haken has already lost the Russ in terms of momentum, but he is a businessman after all, and his long white beard is the proof of an old businessman, but he is not an old soldier.

But now, businessman Haken must be a warrior.

Haken doesn't want to continue to be brave. Of course, the opponents have plans, but their request to "search for everything" is too crazy. Perhaps, they are still waiting to bargain?

Yes, it must be so. If they didn't want to negotiate, they would have kept shooting arrows long ago.

Haken forced himself to be bold, and suddenly put on a smile, making Rurik stunned for a moment.

"Ross, just a tribe. I would be very terrified if the army of Mellarens came, but... I admit that you Roths are powerful, and you, Rurik of Roth, you are the leader of the Roths , the commander-in-chief of the army?"

"Of course. What are you thinking now? Want to chat with me?" Rurik asked knowingly.

"If you want, let's talk. Rurik, what do you want? War?"

"Yes, all I want is a war."

Haken nodded lightly and giggled, "Is war really good for you?" He raised his head, "You look so beautiful, you are such a young warrior. I can take you as my adopted son, I It's your father! Then we don't have to worry about the Meralen, nor the Danes. I will be your father, and the Gotland and the Rus will be allied, and I will give you a lot of money, and you have the right to be in brother Tran's court enjoys a huge right to speak. We can work together to fight others, and we will prosper together, so why do you need to earn your life here?"

"You!" Rurik Fier pulled out his sword. He didn't have a beard for the time being. If he had, he would be angry. "Who do you think you are? Newgate?!"

Haken hurriedly explained: "I'm an old man, I'm the king of Gotland, and I'm the biggest businessman on the island. Don't you Russ need great wealth? We can all form an alliance, listen, your fighting strength, plus With my business skills, we'll be very rich together."

Rurik didn't want to ask immediately, and of course the words were very Zaun: "And then continue to betray? You can't be trusted! I am the one who received Odin's blessing, and I was born noble, and you are as humble as a bunch of cows. Shit. You! I just want to chop off your head and let the humblest slave use your skull as a drinking bowl."

"A stinky brat! Do you have to choose a decisive battle?!"

"It's a decisive battle! Our army has already set up a battle in Qiao Village behind the mound. Today is the seventeenth day of the Julian calendar. My army of 3,000 people is always ready for battle. You make a decision, and on the tenth day Send troops to fight with our army on the nine days, listen, we are not afraid of how many troops you bring."

"Aren't 10,000 people afraid?" Haken deliberately showed stubbornness, but unfortunately this was clearly the last stubbornness.

"I'm afraid you won't come, but it doesn't matter." Rurik shrugged, and he was the one who commanded the army to fight the Gotlanders, and one of the weaknesses of the Rus was that the Gotlanders huddled in Visby as tortoises , If the war turned into an order of three thousand army pigs Tuvisby, the tactical advantage of the Russ who led to the final street battle would be gone. How can that work? The enemy must be forced to fight!

Rurik made up his mind, and it was pointless to play tricks and tricks. He simply launched his conspiracy: "You don't want to escape or delay time, gather your people to fight! Returning, the seas will be full of ships of the Meralen coalition. They have defeated the Danes, and the next step is you.

Your wheat is almost ripe, and we'd love to wait a few more days. All the wheat is mine, and all the fall grass is under our control.

You escape war, and you will starve to death this winter. The survivors will be killed by the coalition forces of the northern tribes.

On the contrary, the only chance for you to survive is to fight with us Ross. You must win the battle before you have a chance to survive. "

The Russ are determined to fight. This brat named Rurik speaks like this. There must be a secret behind it. Haken feels that the Russ can't support a protracted war at all.

But this brat clearly understands the great crisis of the Gotland people. If the Russ are not driven away, if they continue to occupy the fishing grounds, the grazing pastures and the wheat fields that are about to mature, the huge Visby will become a disaster. on site. Thousands of people would freeze and starve to death in the winter without the enemy's hands, and the gods (that is, nature) alone defeated the Gotlanders.

The more Haken thought about it, the more angry he became. He now felt that today's meeting was a matter of the nobles of the Russ coming to issue the gauntlet in person, and it had nothing to do with any prisoner transaction.

As this Rurik said, the life and death of a Siegfast is of little significance, and Harken, who is now king, knows that he is responsible for the rise and fall of the entire Gotland power.

"Then fight! You are an arrogant son of a bitch, and I will rally all the Gotlanders and crush you into scum! In two days, the fields behind the mounds will be the graves of your Russ."

Arik and the other soldiers were about to pull the trigger of the crossbow, but Rurik smiled. He didn't pretend to smile, but was happy that the king who really angered the enemy was determined to fight.

Rurik immediately ordered Siegfast to be released, untied the rope around his neck, and was urged by the sword-wielding Ross warrior to turn with his father.

Haken also returned the color, and sent the box containing the silver coins to the Russ.

Some Rus soldiers immediately ran to take the money box, and then happily ran to the mound.

Although Arik and other soldiers were unhappy, they had now taken the money and had to follow Rurik's order to be alert and retreat.

Siegfast was finally free, and Haken finally got a son, but seeing his eldest son's broken hands, he couldn't help but feel sad, and he roared up to the sky: "Damn Russ! Butcher Arik! And you Rurik with the golden ponytail! You arrogant brat, I will cut your scalp and use your ponytail to adorn my velvet cap!"

The howling north wind dampened Haken's roar, and Rurik was busy evacuating, knowing that his opponent was yelling, so he had to surprise them as planned.

The sound of the wind also covered up the buzzing sound of the Rotary Feather Arrow, and the Ross Rotary Feather Arrow with extremely high wind resistance ability fell from the sky in a rain of arrows! This is the last performance of the Rus who happily ran away with the cash box!

Right in front of him, his son Siegfast vomited blood. Haken looked at the blood of his son's hands and trembled in horror. At this time, he forgot that it was his son's arrow that made him safe.

Siegfast was no longer alive, with two heavy crossbow bolts and three light arrows hit in his back.

After the arrow rain, more than 20 people were hit by arrows. Even though those Danish mercenaries were all wearing chain mail, the cone-headed iron cluster crossbow arrows made for the armor brought huge lethality with the help of the earth's gravity. Fortunately, the examples of both sides are far enough, and the final loss of the Gotland people is not serious.

But even so, there were close to 100 people who were shot and lying on the ground, and more than 30 people were injured by arrows of varying degrees.

This operation was a futile act. Not only did he lose his son, but he also didn't have two hundred pounds of silver. The tattooed islanders were not a pity to die. The key point was that their elite mercenaries also suffered losses.

The craziest thing is that the arrows of the Rus people are like Odin's punishment! It seems that touching them wildly is the only way to win.

But can the Gotlanders stand up to their arrows and dash forward to fight?

Must fight! If they were afraid of this, the Gotlanders might as well give up their resistance and be killed.
