Rise of Rurik Chapter 730

The fleet evacuated from Denmark sailed on the road of escape. No one knows the final outcome of the people stationed in the shops. Almost all of them died in battle. Maybe the end is all killed in battle.

At least they will never surrender, especially to the Danes.

The old Eric was very shocked that the blue fox was going to stay and coexist with the shop. As a calculating businessman, he knew very well that the blue fox was going to die in exchange for some special and important benefits.

The Blue Fox is for his family and for Ross's benefit.

The wooden boards are densely engraved with words, which record the crisis the Principality has encountered in the shops in Hezeby, Denmark, and the purpose that the Blue Fox decided to stick to.

This letter will be handed over to Prince Rurik. As an important client, the old Eric will take on the task of sending the letter. He had already guessed that the entire Ross Council was furious because of this, and war revenge was indispensable.

He hopes that Rose's revenge is based on the position of the old Eric's family. Blue Fox is the uncle of his grandchildren, who have a diligent relationship with each other, not just business partners.

This fleet is pulling the money and goods grabbed in Denmark, as well as slaves bought and a small number of orphans gathered.

The mercenaries who were ordered to guard the fleet were in a more complicated mood. Many people felt that they were deserters, but the **** of supplies and personnel back to Ross smoothly was already the death of Lord Blue Fox.

Someone couldn't bear this kind of actual escape and yelled: "We can rush to Burnholm Island by the way and attack the islanders' fishing boats. Since they surrender to the Danes, they must pay for the wrong choice!"

The fleet that flees for their lives has quite powerful arms, and the torsion slingshot of the bow gives everyone a sense of security, but the mercenaries prefer to take the initiative to attack with tactical weapons to vent their anger.

After a lot of effort, old Eric persuaded the angry people not to move rashly.

"I know that those Bornholm people have always had enemies with the Ross people. I heard that Arik's father was also killed by those villains. We still don't take the initiative to attack. Once attacked us proactively, these guys will bear the brunt if the prince takes revenge."

In fact, these words are unconvincing, but the old Eric is the commander of the blue fox's resigned return fleet.

The fleet flew past Birnholm like a speeding arrow, and the local islanders rowed their boats to see those fleets with spinnakers lined up in long snakes. They were disgusted. Sail PTSD". Old Eric made a wrong prediction. He speculated that he would be attacked by the islanders. On the contrary, the islanders just wanted to return to Hong Kong to defend themselves.

The Ross ship is a bully cruising in the Baltic Sea. Only after encountering their pain do you know the reason for retreating after seeing the spinnaker.

But the new Danish king Horrick Klarsson and his family members are not clear.

The fleet floated smoothly to the Åland Islands at the intersection of the ocean on the first day of August, and the fleet moved from tombstone to dock for supplies. The bad news from Denmark spread immediately.

Just like in previous years, even if the fat Gould is older, his business is at the hottest moment of the year.

The whole grain harvest season on the banks of Lake Mälaren in Sweden is now, and the most important commodities of the major tribes in Sweden are oats and flax.

The eldest son, the White Fox, inherited the main business of the family. Although the center of gravity of the Ross Principality moved to the east, the Gould family strengthened its monopoly on Western trade in the Principality.

The Goulds ate barbecue and vodka on the increasingly prosperous Tombstone Island. They were too old, even their imperial concubines felt powerless, but after the birth of the white fox's son, teasing his grandson became his pleasure.

The family seems to be of this pedigree, and all members are pudgy.

The old businessman has lost his pioneering spirit. He feels that his life has been fulfilled, and that living a day in the future will make a day.

Although the prince prohibits the family from participating in Eastern trade, the children have expanded in their respective fields. Not only is the wealth of the family expanding, but the political influence is still rapidly increasing.

The prince now tactically no longer provides a very stable supply of food to the various craftsmen in his homeland during the winter, and the Gould family has replaced it as a food supplier.

There is not much profit in transferring grain and selling it. Unless the prince is willing to make big purchases, as in previous years, so the Gould family can make a fortune through the scale effect.

Gould is not optimistic about the future trade of buying grain. If the Principality's Eastern farming business achieves great success, I am afraid that the job of buying grain in the future will disappear, and it is not impossible for the Principality to become a grain supplier.

At least for now, he is still storing grain, and a batch of grain will be shipped to Shilla Fort, along with other payment and this year's family business tax, to be transported to a new large warehouse in the Principality.

Things have changed...

The port of the Ross fleet from Denmark caused a sensation. Gould, accompanied by his servants, approached the port curiously, and was surprised to see his old family Eric.

He walked with kindness on his face, but he saw the hazy face of old Eric.

"What's wrong with you? What disaster happened?"

Hearing it, old Eric, who was already nervous, sprayed directly, and immediately complained with a crying voice: "Blue Fox! Master Blue Fox... he died in battle!"

"What did you say?"

"Master Blue Fox, died in battle!"

The first sentence of my in-laws was the whole? Your second son died?

Gould was inexplicable for the first time. With an awkward smile on his face, he asked his in-laws to finish speaking, and what he got was indeed a sad news.

"My son, actually? Dead?"

Suddenly, the world was spinning, and Gould was faint as if dead.

It wasn't until a bucket of cold water was poured on his fat-headed head that his blue eyes slowly opened.

"This... this is impossible! Help me go back, and you!" Gould who was lying down pointed lightly to old Eric, "Go tell me the details!"

If he was a soldier and learned that his son had died in battle, he could probably comfort a "soul of the soldier went to Asgard" after a while of pain.

Otherwise, Gould, he is a businessman who doesn't believe in that at all. He is in a depressed mood and just wants to know the end of the second son. Especially to know how the child died.

Old Eric couldn't say why. He let Gould go through the letter board first, and finally added: "Master Blue Fox has his own honor, and he wants to shed the last drop of blood for Ross. He chose to be one of them. The warrior fought for the prince, his soul must go directly to Valhalla."

Gould didn't believe this, he keenly noticed that the second son's letter did not mention that guarding the shop was mortal.

The second son suddenly believed in Odin? Zhizi Moruofu, if that kid had been a fighter long ago, he would not be a fighter, he would not die bravely but he would not surrender.

There is no follow-up news, only speculation of death.

Enduring the grief, Gould in the mansion pointed his finger at old Eric angrily: "You didn't see the process of the war, you didn't see the death of my son. He didn't necessarily die, maybe he fled out just thinking Way to escape back."

Old Eric didn't feel like it, he could only hope in good faith: "I hope so."

With this possibility, Gould looked at this possibility more and more firmly: "When I was young, I also went to Denmark to trade. I was a businessman from Svealand. After my identity was exposed, I was attacked by the local lord. Successfully escaped back."

Old Eric was overjoyed and immediately agreed to ease the almost suffocating atmosphere: "The blue fox must have the same luck as you, he should be still alive."

"Yeah... I hope so."

The sober Gould was not sure about the life and death of the second son. He could be sure that the business activities of the prince's ambitious start to the Danish world suddenly fell apart after eating the first sweetness.

The new king from a foreign land came to Denmark, and the rebellious lords of all walks of life suddenly surrendered. The mess in Denmark came to an abrupt end, and the Rus Principality's fishing in troubled waters suddenly collapsed and paid a great price.

Old Eric asked tentatively: "What will you decide next?"

"You... want to continue to the East?"

"Yes. I want to report the disaster in the east to the prince himself. This is an order given to me by the blue fox."

Gould raised his head and closed his eyes and sighed: "I will go to the East once too. I don't do business. I just want to convince the prince that he must avenge the despicable new Danish king. The prince can kill a king, he should kill another one."

"We should go together, and our complaint will definitely be supported by the prince."

That night, Gould only felt a splitting headache. As a father, he hoped that his second son could expand his career in new fields. Besides, the second son was also appointed by the prince to be the commercial spokesperson in charge of the principality in Denmark. The actions of the Danes were slapped in the face of the prince, and all hopes of peaceful trade became costly wishful thinking.

After the early morning, Gould's headache eased a lot.

He checked the money and goods shipped from Denmark. The Danish region is indeed very oily and expensive.

Gould is going to the East, this is also the first time he went to the East in his later years.

What happened to Novgorod and Shilla Fort? He wanted to see the new world of the Russ, and even more to seduce the prince to fight against Denmark.

The fleet has docked on Tombstone Island for three days, and all kinds of news about Denmark have spread through the mouth of sailors and mercenaries.

In less than a week, the current King Bjorn of Sweden learned of the situation in Denmark. A monster that emerged from the soil had the Danish kingship, and an army from Frank turned into a Danish army.

The traditional land aristocrats represented by King Bjorn no longer want to fight with Denmark after experiencing a big defeat, but who can guarantee that the Danes will not expand?

The Kingdom of Denmark has every motive for expansion, especially against Sweden. As for Denmark's attack on Ross? The Ross people have moved east, and King Bjorn has also determined that it is now difficult for him to meet with Prince Ross.

In the ancient times when the news was blocked, ships brought distant news to the docking port. The port people with endless curiosity about the outside world loved to over-discuss, and it is not uncommon for small negative news to become the catastrophe described in the description. .

What will happen in Sweden? The Ross people can't control it.

Gould got on the ship, and because the fleet of his family had not prepared enough supplies, he took two servants and went to the east first.

The fleet arrived at Shilla Fort, this big city is very majestic, surrounded by beautiful pastoral scenes.

Gould didn't want to appreciate it much. He just wanted to see Rurik earlier. Governor Conusson was surprised that the great businessman Gould came in early August, and was even more shocked by the news from Denmark.

The bad news spread across the city of Shilla Fort in an instant, and people continued to discuss it with outrage.

The people in the city are either Ross immigrants or Swedish immigrants from all walks of life. They simply don't like the Danish power. The prince's expansion of the commercial territory of the Danish region is the coexistence of interests and risks, which does not seem to have a clear interest in common people. In fact, this of course has something to do with everyone. The leather obtained by the squirrels hunted by the Ross people can make a lot of money when sold to Denmark, and the Danes do have enough money to buy it.

The people didn't have the time to think about these things, and they didn't think about the right or wrong of the prince's establishment of shops in Denmark.

It turned out to be like this, the Danish king shamefully insulted the Ross people!

Although there are no large-scale armed gatherings of the people standing all over the streets calling for war, the public opinion circles in Shilla Fort are now calling for revenge from the war. Even when they just walked back, the young children used milky words in their milk to say that they would fight.

Gould stayed in Shilla Fort for a whole day, and he had a historic meeting with the old Harald family of local merchants. The two major businessmen in the Principality who were in charge of East-West commerce gathered together. They were not jealous of each other, but discussed the possibility of cooperation with each other. They also condemned the sins of the Danes and the angry public opinion in the city.

"It seems that war is inevitable. I will provide food for the army. Since your son was killed by them, you will also use your wealth to fund the army?" Old Harald asked.

Unexpectedly, Gould's plan was even more majestic: "As long as the prince issues a war mobilization, I will use the money to recruit Jianyong in Mellaren. I hire a mercenary team, or less, four or five hundred people. I will drive them crazy. Kill, take revenge for my son, to dispel the hatred in my heart..."

The Ross fleet that escaped from Denmark docked at any port in the Principality, which would arouse public outrage. Accompanying this anger is the desire for wealth, because the people, especially the men, have come to a conclusion based on the wars that Ross has participated in these years, as long as the army goes out, every soldier will always gain something, a person who makes a fortune. It's not a minority.

Moreover, everyone is no longer afraid of the Danish military, and it is not absolutely impossible to conquer Denmark like conquering Karelia. Every man hopes to prove himself in a brand new war, and the women in the family also hope that their husbands and sons will go out and rely on war and plunder to improve family conditions.

No one considered the risk of war. The people of the Russ Principality were not afraid to die in battle, because they were too convinced that any warrior who died for the country, the prince would take care of his family members. The people are willing to believe that Rurik is indeed the "son of god", and believe in him, and he will provide critical help and even protect against the losses caused by the war.

The high priest Lumia, who had just arrived in Silla Fort not many days ago, also complied with the public opinion, offering sacrifices to the heroes who died for Ross, announcing that the souls of the soldiers guarding the Ross shop had all entered Valhalla.

Old Eric and Gould have been able to predict the future here in the people of Shilla Fort.

At least the purchase price of the Ross store was retained, and Blue Fox proved with practical actions that even if it encounters a life and death crisis, it will not damage the property of the prince and the Principality. Since Shilla Fort is the capital of a country, the payment for goods and slaves will be unloaded.

The two businessmen did not bring any supplies, but only took an armed cargo ship and continued to swim upstream under the towing of two traditional long rowing boats.

In another six days, this tiny fleet finally arrived at Lake Ilmen. As happened before, the bad news from Denmark spread immediately. Otto was furious, and a group of veterans staying in Novgorod sharpened their knives.

Until they arrived in Mstisk~www.mtlnovel.com~ the violent news was informed to the elite fighters of the Rus Principality, especially the blue fox's superscript handwritten letter was handed over to Rurik.

All the wheat test fields have achieved a bumper harvest that everyone is willing to recognize. The planned rammed earth flat ground and the strong upper body will continuously ram the harvested wheat ears with shackles. The youth city of Tonastad has just officially begun its construction in full swing, and the smithy and shipbuilding workshops in Mstisk have just laid down the thick wooden poles to build the column frame of the large factory building.

For a time, Rurik ignored the affairs of the distant place, and as the two businessmen came to the door personally with bad news, he was angry, and his subordinates were also angry.

"I have wished to improve my relationship with you and do business peacefully with each other. You have chosen war!"

Rurik didn't even think about whether to choose war. Of course, he could choose not to fight. As a result, it was naturally pointed out by thousands of Russians. He didn't have a choice, and "no war" was simply a non-existent option.

He had determined the principle of revenge in the first place, and since it was revenge, he would ram it down with a sledgehammer, ruthlessly.

As for what kind of retaliatory war to launch, this requires a long-term plan and a careful discussion of planning...
