Rise of Rurik Chapter 642

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

After coming to Fort Shilla again after a winter, the city has grown bigger and the population has become more and more prosperous.

He found it, maybe there could be better days here. The residents of Novgorod came here spontaneously even in a canoe.

Otto stayed in Fort Shilla for two days, then sailed to Lake Ladoga against the Neva River in the south wind.

Of course, after another set of twists and turns, Otto's fleet arrived at his loyal White Tree Manor.

The owner of the farm, Rigus, greeted his people warmly, and they also prepared the tribute to be accepted by the adults.

There is no other tribute. The tribute in spring and summer is only a small amount of wheat, and more of it is leather, rosin, floral cloth and precious honey.

All the tributes are not many, and the highlight is actually in the fall.

People look forward to the disembarkation of a large number of women visiting relatives, just like in the past years. But those who got off the boat were old guys, women?

On behalf of the tribe, Rigus carefully asked why the visitor did not come.

Otto didn't rush to answer first, first ordered the rewards to be moved down.

It was a large number of iron farm tools. Watching the arrival of many hoes and shovel, and the unloading of two other sets of curved ploughs, the old fellow Rigus jumped excitedly.

Otto's words are straightforward: "These are all given to you by Leurik. You have been paying the tribute truthfully all these years, and what you have given you is also a rich reward."

The Quyuan Plow is an artifact of arable land. Even if it still needs human plowing, the White Tree Manor has cultivated a lot of new fertile lakeside farmland since it acquired it.

In White Tree Manor, the people welcome these adults from afar.

Medvedt, Rigus' eldest son, also offered to sell wine for Otto.

"You!" Otto grabbed his arm abruptly.

"Master Duke..."

"You are not ordinary! Now give you an order to gather me the brothers of the flag team immediately! We are going to attack the new enemy!"

The Novgorod side basically didn't know about the conquest of Karelia, and they didn't even know what enemy it was. Although the Ross people don't know it themselves.

Otto drank half a bottle of strong alcohol, and his words became blurred while he was slightly drunk.

The old guys at the White Tree Manor were all here, and he yelled in Gnostic about the crusade against the Karelians.

These Slavs knew a little more or less of Norse because of their long-term contact. Everyone listened to them at odds with each other, and they had to think about it in their hearts.

Said to be the enemy of the North? Is it called Karelia? Seems still very strong?

Since the commander is Leurik, victory should be firmly held in the hands of the coalition forces.

Rigus suddenly realized that his son-in-law, Lurik, had come in person! If the son-in-law comes, the youngest daughter should come back too, right?

"My lord, Rurik and Svetlana..."

"The two of them should come, and their fleet should be on the way." Otto set out first. He only had an estimate of how many troops Rurik would arrange. He really didn't know the specifics.

Otto couldn't come up with an accurate answer, and this time he ordered Medvete to immediately gather the army to wait for dispatch.

Not only that, Otto took the initiative to ask another manor: "I entrust you to urge Pine Needle Manor to pay taxes properly. How are they doing?"

How are you doing? In all fairness, Rigus has no interest in the farmers, but hopes that the Borudne family will be destroyed.

Rigus took the initiative to explain one thing: "The eldest son of the Borudne family in Pine Needle Manor is dead. Now there is a cub named Vadim left. I think this person is a threat. If you get rid of this person, you will be left. The nobles of the manor are not afraid to be afraid. The Pine Needle Manor collapses, and the other manors can only be completely obedient."

Rigus' words were hostile, and Otto could feel his murderous aura.

Maybe there is something hidden in it?

However, Otto had never thought about eradicating Pine Needle Manor. He knew the contradiction between White Tree and Pine Needle since ancient times. Is it necessary to fight to death now?

Otto really didn't like Pine Needle Manor, which was full of rebellious willingness. After eradicating the upper layer of the manor, the mob underneath was irrelevant. They have the largest population, and even if they get a lot of offerings from them over the years, they will accumulate too much hostility.

They will be angry, the anger of the farmer will either resist or run away. Or take advantage of this dissatisfaction and let them go to war!

Otto knew that his idea was not in Relic's plan. He felt that this was for the sake of his son's career and made a bold decision: "I plan to recruit some fighters from the Pine Needle Manor, and I will let the Borudne family bring them into the north to fight. ! I let them fight fierce battles, so..."

Otto was happy, he patronized his own pleasure, not even Rigus' wry smile.

Rigus was really not happy. He hoped that Pine Needle Manor would decline to extinction. Is Otto's idea to make them and the Karelians desperate to death? He knew that Otto could implement it with determination. Fortunately, White Tree Manor had been on Ross' big ship a long time ago, like the loyal hound around the hunter, so there is no need to worry about tragedy on him.

Otto has decided, and Rigus and others have nothing to say.

Spring ploughing was completed in the entire Ilmen Lake area, and the once tired farmers were slightly settled.

The overwhelming majority of the Slavic people who settled here have forgotten which year the Varangans came from. The Varangans are very powerful, and resisting them is simply looking for death.

Maybe so...

The people of Pine Needle Manor were exploited, and now they have taken out a batch of belongings and handed them to the ruler Borudne.

Varyangros is not there, Borudne is the king here. He died of his eldest son, but the cowardly child was unable to inherit his wealth and status.

Because Vadim is sixteen years old.

The Pine Needle Manor is lively, farmers spend time weeding, carpenters and lumberjacks enter the woods to cut logs, canoes cruise on the lake, and fishermen defensive line fishing.

Their lives are also very quiet as a whole, ordinary people just want to live quietly. Their lives are also boring, and a wedding in the farm can attract thousands of people to watch and even participate.

It was an ordinary day.

Vadim, who is already married, married the daughter of a neighboring farmer, and he is about to become a father. To be a father, his mentality has changed dramatically like his vigorous beard. Everyone sees Vadim and can say that this young man is very brave.

A heart of revenge is deeply rooted in this young man's heart. Based on his observations of the Varangros, he is also trying to imitate, trying to build a strong army that obeys his orders.

There are barefoot men who rush to the manor's manor without paying attention to the muddy lakeside.

The man saw Borudne hurriedly knelt on one knee: "My lord, they are here!"

Borudne had just pushed away his wife and concubine to serve him. After he changed his clothes, he was angry at interrupting his pleasure, and he became even more angry when he heard the report of the messenger.

"They? Varangans?"

"Yes. They! Here again."

"It's time to come or come." Borudne grumbled. "How many people are they here?"

"Maybe there are five hundred people, maybe there are not so many. But they have big ships! Terrible big ships!"

"Big ship?" Borudne thought warily. He is the big ship that has seen the Ross people, and fears these terrible monsters.

"It's a big ship! And there are many ships. They are assembled in the territory of White Tree Manor."

"The guys in White Tree Manor are all dogs!" He yelled furiously, making the messenger speechless.

He calmed his heart a little bit, and sighed, "Finally, who makes us weak?"

Borudne sent the messenger away, and then looked back at Miki who was smiling in the inner room, too.

He summoned his relatives, especially his relatives.

The top ruler of Pine Needle Manor is a large family, and the current patriarch is Borudne. Perhaps this old man is not a qualified ruler, at least everyone sees hope in Vadim.

There must be a warrior to stand up for everyone who is robbed of wealth.

Borudne's relatives gathered at his mansion, and his only son, Vadim, sat casually with a wide-edged dagger in his arms. It was the spirit between his brows that made his uncles feel a lot of emotion.

"The Ross people are here again. Have everything you prepared arrived?" Borudne asked casually.

Everyone smiled at each other, some words really had to be pressed in the bottom of my heart, not to accuse Borudne of being too greedy.

Although everyone is relatives, even if the Ross people ask for too much tribute than before, in the end Borudne personally didn't take out much. The pressure of the tribute was all released, and finally spread evenly to one farmer after another.

"What? No one said huh?"

At this time, someone shook his body: "Brother, everything in my house is ready. The farmers who are in my charge should take a lot of things."

"Good job." Borudne nodded.

Someone spoke, and the rest began to report.

These people are all cousins ​​and clan relatives of Borudne, but they do not want to seize the highest power.

Even if Borudne's strength has been severely setback over the years, even if his private soldiers cannot defeat the Varanges, they will have no problem dealing with the local tribe.

Perhaps only his son Vadim can defeat Borudne.

Everyone announced that their tribute was ready, and they never mentioned the oppression of Pine Needle Manor.

Some people dare to be angry but don't dare to speak, and some people have no feelings for the farmers who have been robbed of a lot of wealth.

What about speaking the same language? Those farmers should be content to be poor. All of this is determined by God.

"Since everything is ready, I guess the Ross people will arrive soon. Give them all these things."

There was a sense of helplessness in Borudne's words, and Vadim was keenly aware of his father's eyebrows, and his resentment had nowhere to say.

Another said: "Let's give them things quickly, and please leave these guys who are bringing disasters."

"Yes! Also, let the women hide first. Those guys always search for women from us. If the men can't find their wives, they will just die and dare to do anything."

"Yes! All women and children are hidden. Also beware of our farmers, especially those who owe rent. They are likely to drag their families and run to the Ross people. In my opinion, all those who owe money Everyone is imprisoned first."

They talked a lot and tried to implement many measures that benefited their own interests. It can be said that they have no intention of resisting Varang's raid, but instead beware of the escape of the people under their control.

Because the Rus people are in urgent need of a large amount of labor to build a new city on the Neva River. It is a simple and effective way to absorb the population from Novgorod nearby, but this kind of behavior is really a draw from the bottom of the manor of the Novgorod region. The land is indeed very extensive, so to control the population is to control the capital.

The Rus are no longer the regular robbers who simply ask for tribute in this area. The two sides have had a structural contradiction. The smartest have begun to realize that the Rus are slowly hanging the native nobles of Novgorod with ropes. .

Vadim may not be a wise man, he did notice that the situation had become abnormal.

He listened to the conversations of relatives in his ears, watching his father's reaction from the corner of his eyes.

Borudne finally said: "Well, just do what you said. You all take care of your own people, but you can't anger the Varangians. Don't worry, I will also exercise restraint."

Everyone nodded and said yes, it seemed that there was nothing more to say.

Unexpectedly, Vadim stood up furiously and scolded in front of all his relatives: "You are all cowards!"

The scene suddenly cooled down, and the quiet atmosphere was really suffocating.

A pair of eyes stared at the young man with astonishment.

"You sit down for me, there is no place for you to speak here!" Borudne said angrily.

"Shut up! You cowardly old fellow! The manor is in your hands, and a brave bear has become a docile sheep!"

"you……"

Everyone saw the son rebelling against his father.

Borudne was taken aback, but he was secretly refreshed: This child has really grown up.

Vadim's actions were really reckless, or rather brave.

"What do you want to do? Resist them now? Do you think your strength is enough?!" Borudne raised his head and asked.

"How can't it?" Vadim bent his mind: "Father, how long do we have to endure? The Ross people are getting stronger and stronger, and it's too late if we don't do anything! As long as we unite, we can gather two thousand men . If we unite the entire lakeside people, and even go to the forest area to find those remote farms and ask them to send troops. We can gather five thousand people, can ten people defeat a Varang and fail. As long as we win once, everyone else will support us , So that we can gather 10,000 people or even more. We have many people, we can do it!"

Everyone was deeply surprised. This was not because Vadim threatened to rebel against the Rus, but the kid actually came up with a plan, obviously not just talking big.

Things have changed, but uniting all the farms is not easy. There is also the alien of White Tree Manor, this shameful traitor!

Borudne didn't let his son say any more. In any case, the decision to resist was too bold, and the time to resist was not ripe at all!

What's more, the guys in White Tree Manor are not many in number, and there are many people who are said to have made great contributions to fighting side by side with the Ross people.

Has the farmer of Pine Needle Manor experienced a **** battle? absolutely not! Even going to organize a bear hunt is fearful. Most people just want to be content with being a farmer.

The meeting soon ended, and Vadim was aggrieved by the cowardice of all his relatives.

He returned to his private soldiers, and nearly a hundred young men of his age confided in his exposure.

"It's all a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered! I am afraid of the Ross people again and again, and sooner or later they have their throats cut!"

His anger resonated with the guys, there was a brave carry, and the seemingly cowardly person instantly gained courage.

These young athletes screamed, yelling at the loathsomeness of the Ross people, as well as the shamelessness of the defectors and the guys in the White Tree Manor.

They all have axes in their hands, and many have rusty iron swords.

This set of armed forces was basically made by Vadim relying on the loyalty of his buddies, and his buddies were demolished by the Rus more than half a year ago, or were forced to sacrifice their own sisters.

Everyone has a deep hatred of the Ross people.

They tried their best to abuse, not only to show their dissatisfaction to their peers, but also to cheer for themselves.

They are thinking more and more radically, and finally, someone brought up a crazy resolution!

"The old undead fellow of the Ross people is here to collect the tribute again! Brother, let's kill him. In my opinion, if that old fellow is dead, the Varangians will be in chaos.

This rhetoric made Vadim tremble all over, but it also aroused everyone's thinking.

Big brother is hesitating, hesitating is to implement the plan!

Someone urged: "If we succeed, the cowardly people must choose a side. The Ross people will retaliate, and our farmers will take up arms. We can't beat them on water, and we have many people fighting on land!"

Someone urged: "Our people are not sheep~www.mtlnovel.com~ They just lack a brave leader. Everyone will see that you are a great hero, and there will be 10,000 men following you! Big brother, you are the best Strong, you can call yourself a prince."

The title of prince, or Principe, is as popular in the area of ​​Ilmen Lake in Novgorod, but the owners of the estate have no face to claim such a noble title.

Vadim was a young man who was so instigated by his brothers that he couldn't care about so much.

"Okay! I am the prince! The prince of Novgorod! I will take you to produce the Rus! In the future, the merchants of Varyag can come over, but under my rule they must pay tribute to us. "

With such bold words and lofty ambitions, long live my brothers.

Vadim's appearance seems to be a play, but he is also really brave.

A conspiracy is being planned secretly, and a group of young cubs are sharpening their knives secretly!

Borudne and his relatives did not know this, nor did Otto and the people of White Tree Manor!
