Rise of Rurik Chapter 590

Chapter 590-Rylik's Return to the Port of Narvik

The sun was shining and the wind was beautiful, and in the refreshing south wind, ships swayed with the waves.

The beach in Roseburg was crowded with people, and the nearshore trestle bridge was filled with soldiers in white shirts. They carried their shields, burlap pockets filled with various personal belongings, swords, hand axes and daggers hung on their belts, and leather water bags filled with fresh water.

Many people also bring their short wooden bows and a batch of arrows privately. After all, it is an expedition. It is not wrong to bring as many weapons as you can.

The helmet protected by iron or bronze leather has been polished, and the reflection of sunlight in the sun dazzles blind people's eyes.

This is the No. 1 flag team of the Ross people. They gathered under the banner of the army in mighty force, and the fighting power is also the best in this era of Europe.

At least every man feels that he is the strongest warrior in the known world. Everyone is brave and fearless, fighting for glory and wealth, while warriors are great glory.

Looking at the patchwork of shooting flag teams, their attitude becomes quite complicated.

Although it was very abrupt, the one hundred Suomi men serving as servants learned that they were about to fight on an extremely remote and huge island, and fear affected every soul.

The Suomi people were terrified. Even if Yevlo gave some advice, such as "work hard and prove that you can improve the status of the Suomi people", they can follow the fierce Varyag Rus to fight. This is to fight Do monsters in the sea fight?

At least this group of Suomi men dressed in uniform off-white linen. They were all given hand axes for self-defense and a short spear that could be thrown.

Their positions in the army are the same as in their hometowns, one and two are short archers, and even their weapons are their own, except that they use the mass-produced arrows of the Ruth's forged arrow cluster.

They can also see that compared to the chaos of the people in their hometown, the Ross people are obviously more structured, and I'm afraid this is their way to win.

The only thing that comforts them is that they don't have to rush to the front line of the battle to fight with the enemy. Throwing arrows in the rear is not too dangerous.

When they saw another group of men carrying crossbows, they suddenly felt that the weapons in their hands were nothing. Is the bow on the wood actually a bow? It is clearly a piece of iron.

One after another two-wheeled trolleys have been loaded onto the cargo ship by cable, enough for a thousand people to eat the two-month strategic reserve of oats stuffed into the cabin. In addition, a large number of hard-roasted jerky fish that can be eaten immediately are stuffed into the soldiers' own backpacks in large quantities.

There are many miscellaneous goods on the ship, such as pottery, iron, glass, and tools to be sold to the Balmerks.

Food and fresh water, and even a large number of pine needles to prevent scurvy, and even the peculiar taste of dried seal liver, piled in piles.

A batch of spare spearheads, as many as 50,000 arrows and 50 mass-produced cast iron bullets equipped with each torsion slingshot, really make the entire Ross fleet become the naval master of this era.

It's just that the fleet didn't bring any women, not even the female prisoners of Tavastia who were supposed to be handed over to the Balmerks.

This is by no means unlucky for women to board the ship. It is entirely because this trip is purely a men's war. Rurik even rejected Noren's request to return home to visit relatives, so how could others ask for it.

Thousands of people drag their homes to see off the soldiers of the expedition. There are also a large number of fishing boats floating on the sea. They are willing to offer the herring and cod caught this morning to encourage the fighting spirit of the army.

Such a wonderful event naturally requires a great sacrifice.

Lumia wears a helmet with antlers, accompanied by many of Rurik's wives and concubines who are priests, and uses five reindeer to sacrifice all the gods believed by the Ross people.

Finally, there was a fire on the beach!

Deer blood flowed into the sea, offering sacrifices to the sea **** and praying for a smooth journey on the expedition. The deer carcass was thrown into a violently burning small fire tower and gradually turned into ashes to worship the great **** Odin.

All this was caught in the gazes of John Invall and Paul, the food officer, who were gritted with teeth and kept making crosses on their chests.

Because of this battle, the huge Ross fleet is about to attack Britain again. God knows how many pious lambs turned into powder in this battle.

But they didn't want the Russ to be defeated, and they wanted the long voyage to be calm.

Selfishly speaking, the two of them were just lowly serfs in their hometown, or even toys for the noble. Everyone is the lamb of the Lord, and he is actually a lowly existence, living like dung. At least it can be used by the Ross people. For example, the food officer Paul, this poor serf has already been married in the Ross people, and there is also a small monastery in Rossburg, where the soul has a home and life is boundless.

Of course Paul didn't want to get involved in this battle, but he knew Saxon and he was a native of Northumbria. The job of translator and guide was fixed.

The great ritual was over, Rurik raised his arms, and began to board the ship amidst the beautiful music played by the girls such as Noren.

They played "Farewell to Rose's Woman" with flutes and drums.

This is Rurik's evil taste. Although it is an expedition to other countries, it seems that such a melody is actually suitable for such a scene.

The tune exaggerated a sense of tragedy, and the soldier who heard the melody suddenly shouldered a strong sense of mission. Rurik only hates that there is no loudspeaker in this era, and can't let all kinds of majestic melodies run through the entire fjord.

They carried heavy suitcases, or walked over wooden rockers or climbed rope ladders to board the ship. Then, Aphrola took the lead to loosen the ropes, lowered the spinnaker and gradually left the port...

Ship after ship left the port with the shouts and cheers of the people, and then all the cargo ships also left.

Thousands of fishing boats either rowed or sailed to guard them, and they really saw off the great fleet.

The ships built and transformed for war use the wind that pours into the fjord to move against the wind, and the gorgeously stitched huge blue stripes are so dazzling.

The ships quickly entered extremely fast speeds, even those modified cargo ships that naturally swim a little clumsy, and they are equipped with huge masts, spinnakers, and wave treading wooden bulbous bows to gain strong power.

The ships are like flying on the sea, and everyone is sighed with emotion.

Entering the wide sea area of ​​the Gulf of Bothnia, the strong and refreshing southeast wind in summer immediately sent the entire fleet advancing laterally against the wind, and the average speed suddenly rushed to seven knots.

The strong wind continued throughout the day, and today, the night time in the Nordic world has been reduced to no more than three or four hours.

It was completely because of time constraints that the Russ army did not set off after the big sacrifice on the summer solstice.

People have to spend the summer solstice on the boat, and they are destined not to experience the "night without night" this year.

The wind gradually weakened at night, and the fleet was still heading southward at a speed of three knots.

Rurik decided to wait for the shore without accident. Fortunately, this time the boat was all men, and there was no concern about seeing each other.

Only on the morning of the third day of the voyage, the Ross Fleet arrived at Tombstone Island.

Even so, the fleet only receives marine supplies in the waters here, and all kinds of materials are hoisted by cables and pulled up from the approaching long ship.

At a critical moment, the Gurdot appeared with a large sail.

Standing on the bow of the Aphrora, Rurik took a closer look, and there was a fat man standing on the opposite ship!

"Gould, you are here."

For some greetings at sea, Gould gave a beautiful blessing here. He wished the Ross army a great victory and promised to buy a lot of food in Lake Mälaren this year.

The Ross Fleet did not stop at all, which surprised those who wanted to land ashore to take a break.

However, the Duke's order was absolute. Everyone was tight on time and had a heavy task. After replenishing fresh water and food (a batch of fresh onions) that afternoon, he began to rush to Visby in Gotland day and night.

The continuous southerly wind also ensured that the Russian army maintained a high speed. On the fifth day of departure, the fleet rushed to Visby.

This city once destroyed by the Ross army is now the new territory of Mälaren immigrants, but these hundreds of people of Mälaren are at least unable to reproduce the glory of Visby in the past.

At least the people of Mellaren could see the blue-lined sail and the Ross flag flying on the mast.

The fishermen here came here very cleverly. They were shocked and guessed that these guys must attack some powerful place. It is neither realistic nor daring to follow them desperately, but everyone is very happy to sell a batch of newly caught herring.

Rurik was originally passing by, and it was a great thing to be able to get a batch of fresh fish on the way. After all, everyone completely accepts the lifestyle of eating herring raw.

After experiencing this place, on the seventh day, the fleet had arrived on the slender island of Öland like a cucumber. They entered the Kalmar Strait. So far, Rurik also issued the war alert for this trip for the first time.

Sure enough, when the fishing boats here saw that familiar and terrifying flag appeared, of course everyone hurried to shore to escape.

Even if it was the last small group of Saxon immigrants at Borgholm fortress, when they saw the Ross Fleet that suddenly broke in, they subconsciously felt that these guys were coming to defeat their betrayal.

Stein Sachsson, who was still the leader, could no longer take care of so much, and hurriedly called on everyone to leave the fortress directly with the necessary softness and escape to the distant forests of the island to hide.

A pair of sneaky eyes stared at this huge fleet.

Rurik did glance sideways at the fortress that he was familiar with.

My cousin Arik stayed on the flagship this time, and he couldn't help clenching his fist when he recalled the glory of the past.

"Brother, maybe we can go ashore and ask the guys here for tribute."

"Landing ashore? No need. These guys were beaten so badly by us, they really couldn't get any oil. I said, if this trip is not necessary, let's go on."

The Ross Fleet remained on alert, but on the way there was really no other person who deliberately launched an offensive.

Four sail cruisers are in front, four sail destroyers are behind, and all armed cargo ships are in the middle.

Rurik wanted to put the strongest ship at the head of the team, just like opening a mouth of blood and terrible fangs with a beast.

With such a powerful fleet, which Danish fishing boat dared to approach?

Kalmacheng, ravaged by the war, has degenerated into a small settlement, and the Russian army just looked at it and left.

The day and night fleet passed the Kalmar Strait in the evening on the eighth day of the voyage. As for the southern waters, many people in the fleet are quite unfamiliar.

At least Rurik is very clear about the geomorphology and hydrology here. He is determined not to continue south to Burgundy Island, but to continue to the coastline and go straight to the Silver Fort.

It was also the matter, Rurik greeted the main ship to approach the leader and flagship Aphrodite, and he relied on verbal shouts to declare war orders.

Is it going to attack the Silver Fort under Danish rule?

of course! After so many days of sailing, the morale of the brothers is being quickly eroded.

In the next step, the fleet will pass through the core area of ​​the Danes and enter the vast Atlantic Ocean through the broad Strait of Denmark, which has tortuous waterways.

This voyage can be described as the most dangerous section, and Lurik had to be cautious. The so-called Danes would madly seize the opportunity to fight back in order to kill their king. Even if there are rumors that the Danes were violently killed by the king, lords from all walks of life and even overseas powers were involved in this civil strife. Maybe they will sit and watch the Ross fleet pass?

Maybe, but combat readiness must be done, and any other ships that stand in front of the fleet must be sunk or driven away.

So first, he took the ship near the Silver Fort and opened the sword!

Let's talk about bancassurance. It was once burned by the Swedish army. However, after the main force of Denmark arrived, the old Swedish king Olekin died here. At least 1,500 people were killed and captured. The newly born Sweden also fought for this. The strong hope of losing the expedition, but also the greatness of the Ross Principality.

The silver castle must be operated, and the fleet directly enters the harbor area.

The **** suffocation of the Ross people broke out for a long time! The army has not yet landed, it is just that Lurik doesn't want to fight, and doesn't want to waste time in this Bay Area.

Five Danish cargo ships were wounded and then captured. Everyone on the boat was executed, and it was considered a blood sacrifice voyage.

This is the piracy in the Baltic Sea. Now Rurik has no sense of guilt. Ross and Sweden, the two are still at war with Denmark, and it is only right for them to attack Silver Castle.

They captured a batch of wool, as well as a batch of onions and coarse linen produced by the Waynsjo Village Alliance in the Götaland Heights north of Silverburg. These are all economic materials and raw materials for textiles. The only interesting onion lacks energy. The spicy taste stimulates the boredom of the soldiers, and vitamins also provide the necessary protection for the Russian army.

It's already the eleventh day! The Øresund Strait is here!

Will the Danes choose to intercept? Maybe or not.

The fleet broke in cautiously, and unexpectedly and not surprisingly, the Danes did choose to avoid it.

The Robard tribe, which once had a strong control over the taxation rights of the Øresund Strait, was unable to nominate a strongman after losing the Hafgen. The Danish lords have been killing each other, and the Frankish Earl Horrick, who is far away in the name of Flanders, has already traveled among the Danish islands to promote Horrick as the first confederate Hara. El Clark's elder nephew denied the expulsion order given to him by his hometown father and elder and threatened to bring back the heroes of the South. The so-called smart person must admit that Horrick is the new king.

Rurik only has a superficial understanding of all this, but what does this have to do with the Ross people?

The Danish fishing boats saw this fleet circumventing one after another, and the Ross people did not encounter any obstruction, and even the gods were beautiful!

This road is not windy and sunny every day, it is densely cloudy for many days, except for the sudden confusion of the wind direction, the storm did not happen.

In fact, it is raining in the Pomeranian region to the south, Hamburg Bremen is rainy, and fortunately, it is only cloudy here in Denmark.

When the rain in the southern European continent ends, the weather suddenly warms up, which means that the strong south wind is coming again!

The Ross Fleet passed through the entire Jutland Peninsula at the fastest speed. In the early morning of the thirteenth day of departure, the Atlantic Ocean was shown in front of everyone!

The suddenly enlightened scene shocked everyone, and the most exciting thing was naturally the whole Balmerks.

This group of Balmerks who arrived in Roseburg last year, their experience this year has shocked everyone~www.mtlnovel.com~ just like the past, it is not as meaningful and valuable as this year.

Fighting with the Ross people, everyone eats and drinks together to get honor, and there are a group of captured female warriors from the Eastern Land still in Fort Rose. When the new conquest is over, those women will all be on the "Ice and Snow Road", and they will be transported to Balmerk in a sled, and the winter land trade between Balmerk and Ross will become more prosperous.

At this point, the fleet can directly reach the Shetland Islands if it continues to the west, and then directly attack Scotland and Northumbria.

At that time, the force of the fleet was still too small.

The fleet headed north, with the help of the ferocious summer trade winds of the Atlantic Ocean, rushed through Bergen at an extremely fast speed, shocking all the locals!

Because all the big ships were flying the same flag! The Bergen Norwegians who traded with Denmark now all understand that the people who came were from the Rus.

Are they in contact with the guys in the northern port of Narvik? Or start a war? Wouldn't it attack Bergen?

Finally, the fjord is near, and the long voyage is about to end.

The Balmerk sailing cruiser, Bijuni stood at the bow calling all the fishing boats in his hometown not to worry, and further clamored that this ship was the proof of the Rus contract.

When all the misunderstandings were resolved, Narvik's fishing boat became the best guide for the fleet.

The brothers who traveled in the East are back with Ross friends! The Ross people fulfilled their agreement! This time everyone can trade happily.

So far, Rurik has gone through a seventeen-day voyage, bypassing more than half of Scandinavia at a crazy speed, completing this record-breaking fastest voyage.
