Rise of Rurik

As long as they hold the flag high and declare surrender, the Russian troops stationed there will not attack?

The people of Växjö are waiting and watching. Even with such an army here, their normal production and life are still greatly disrupted.

But Fisk was not completely at ease with the people here. He noticed the huge population here. If they twisted together to fight him to the death, the brothers would really have to retreat quickly to avoid the edge.

Fisk set up defenses in the camp outside the settlement. The horses were left in the middle of the camp, and some freshly cut tree stumps were placed on the outside to look like a tight defense.

So the surrendered people began to perform practical acts of service. They paid tribute to the Russian army with some bass caught in the morning. The carts were pushed in, and the escorts unloaded the wooden barrels containing the fish and evacuated quickly.

Their fearful looks made the soldiers laugh, but Fisk was a little troubled by this.

The cavalry has arrived here, and the mission assigned by the king has been successfully completed. What is very wonderful is that the entire Russian expedition miraculously suffered no casualties!

There were no casualties and the mission of conquering Växjö was basically completed. Fisk knew that there was still a formal meeting to be held, and he had to discuss various matters clearly with the leaders of the local villages.

Then, is it over? No! Since the opportunity is in front of him, it would be unreasonable not to create greater achievements.

Moreover, a very real problem is also faced. The so-called Växer people have not completely surrendered.

Early in the morning, Fisk, Kanuf and Bejahir gathered together to discuss military matters.

"Now that we have completed the mission assigned by the king, we can theoretically take Växjö's envoy north to deliver the mission."

Kanuf glanced at Fisk: "Actually, you are not satisfied at all. You don't want to withdraw."

"Don't you think so?"

"Haha, I still want to continue to make meritorious deeds."

Fisk nodded: "Then continue fighting. Many people who did not surrender will have to escape, and they may go to Silver Castle. I have heard of that place, where the former King Olegkin died."

"I know too. So... we go south to avenge that Olegin?"

"But he is a Swede, and we are old Russians. But..." Fisk thought for a while, "This is indeed a reason."

Kanuf immediately slapped his thigh: "What we lack is a reason. Since there are a large number of Swedes in our main force, our army can have such a name as a partial division."

"It's just that our army has too few troops. It's not appropriate to rely on us to attack Silver Castle. Unless..."

"Unless?" Kanuf raised his head, and the two men looked at each other and smiled.

Beyathil listened boredly here, but when she heard that the two big brothers wanted to expand the war and make new achievements, she completely agreed without any meaning.

The young generals of the Russian army reached a common attitude, and the new plan they discussed was immediately informed to everyone, and their departure attracted cheers from the brothers.

That's Silver Castle! The settlement named after "Silver Coin" is not shabby by any means! Although according to the rules, the silver coins, gold coins and jewelry seized by the army must be paid to the king, the king has always acquiesced to the brothers taking some privately.

What's more, Silver Castle is a trading port. Even if it encounters a war, it won't keep crotchless for ten years. The wealthy businessmen there will definitely buy some female slaves. From the normal perspective of the wealthy businessmen, they will definitely keep those with good faces and graceful figures.

Capture the merchant's female slave and take him back to be his wife. The soldiers felt that they were benevolent people who helped the women escape from poverty.

And he can also have more heirs, which is what the king likes to see.

It has been agreed that General Ross will go to the Växjö Chamber in person at noon today to discuss the matter with the local village leaders.

Fisk made some preparations, especially considering that this might be a conspiracy, so he put on a chainmail under his white cloth robe, and also hung two more daggers on his cowhide armor belt to facilitate encounters in cramped places. Unexpectedly fight back with all his strength.

There is a fighting technique invented by a Danish swordsman. It was first learned by Javlo when he was young, and then this technique was learned by the standing army. Fisk is a leader in fighting skills and possesses a strong personal force. Now he wears armor and looks as majestic as a brown bear.

He also discussed with Beyathil and Kanuf: "If I don't come back in the evening, by default I will be assassinated by those people. You immediately mount your horse and rush into the village to cause destruction and avenge me."

Kanuf simply felt that his eldest brother was talking nonsense, and that the Växjians were no longer afraid. He didn't say much and tentatively agreed.

So, Fisk strutted into the settlement with ten followers on horseback, and entered the meeting hall accompanied by Hagrid and Harflesh.

He knew that he was overly worried. The prosperous commercial street was now empty. It was the local village leaders who were afraid that they would offend the Russians if they did something rash, so they deliberately avoided it. Only the meeting hall was packed with people.

A pair of eyes stared at Fisk who had just entered the door. He was a tall man and as strong as a bear. The moment he took off his helmet, his deliberately bald head became even more powerful.

Even though Fisk is only twenty-two years old.

There is nothing special about this meeting room. It is just a long long room with benches on the left and right sides of the room, and a passage in the middle for speakers to speak.

The open wooden windows let in the sunlight, and the atmosphere in the darker longhouse was extremely depressing.

The village leaders did not dare to speak, they just kept quiet and listened to the Ross general's talk.

To be fair, Fisk was concerned about the feelings of these people. What they longed for was safety, and after receiving the promise of safety, they demanded the benefits of surrender.

Therefore, they have seen the terror of the Ross army, and what they need to do now is to appease.

"After you surrender to Ross, you can transport goods to Jönköping in the north as always. Now let me introduce you." Fisk immediately called Hagrid.

"He is from Jönköping, and now he is the governor of Jönköping appointed by the King of Rus. Whatever goods you produce, Jönköping will buy them, and your goods will eventually be shipped to Rus, and all of us will make money because of trade. And you , you only need to pay a small amount of tribute, and you may even be exempted from paying tribute for ten years.”

A ten-year tribute exemption policy? ! This is so amazing.

The leaders all poked their heads around. They couldn't believe this was true. Finally, someone boldly asked: "Ten years of no tribute? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Fisk also asked Hagrid to show up to prove it.

Regardless of whether the ten-year tribute-free policy is true or false, at least now the Russian general is showing great sincerity.

The sincerity of the Russians is by no means weak; on the contrary, they are extremely cruel. They must have something inside when they are like this today.

The so-called tangible tribute may really be exempted for ten years, but intangible offerings are still indispensable.

Things turned out as they expected.

"You have already surrendered, but some of you have escaped. This shows that you Vakshe people are not completely surrendered. If you are not completely surrendered, you are not completely surrendered! So, I want to hunt down those people!"

Fisk looked around again and ordered: "Now is the time to prove your loyalty! Organize some troops in each village and attack the rebels as our Ross Army. Do you understand?!"

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone looked embarrassed and remained silent.

"Oh? It seems that you are not satisfied? In fact, I know that many people are fleeing in the direction of Silver Castle. That is where our hatred lies. In the past, Rus was not a kingdom, and the Principality of Rus recognized the rule of King Olegen of Sweden. But Olegin was killed in Silver Castle. I want to avenge the dead king, and you, the new surrenders, must send people to participate."

"..." They were still silent, but everyone's eyes began to wander.

Their minds were shaken, so Fisk suddenly drew his sword. "Send troops quickly! Prove your loyalty! Villages that do not send troops are regarded as rebels and will be eradicated!"

So, the leader stood up tremblingly under the pressure.

"Haha, finally someone agrees with you. What is your name?" Fisk pointed.

"Griffus. I... am the leader of Monolith Village. I am willing to send troops, but I just hope that the warriors will make the decision for me."

"What do you want?"

"The neighbors in my village are the main ones in the war. They have escaped cleanly now. If you admit that our village can occupy those people's properties and houses, I will immediately organize men to help you with all their strength. Oh no, it is to help the Kingdom of Ross."

"Smart choice! You are free to rob your fleeing neighbors, and those who are fighting should be damned. Where are the others?" When the words arrived, Fisk simply shouted: "I wanted to come peacefully, obviously. It’s all a group of stupid warlords who kidnapped you. You guys here are not enemies of Ross. If we had talked earlier, you wouldn’t have had thousands of people killed. So those warlords are the source of all evil!”

So, Haveless seized the opportunity to continue: "The brave general Fisk is right! Especially those Danish refugees and Gotland refugees, they are obviously the ones who caused the evil, but they tricked us Växjians to fight for their lives. . We can no longer be deceived by them, now only Ross is worthy of trust."

Havers was not interrupting randomly, Fisk was very satisfied with his assist.

Fisk made a seemingly incredible decision. Regarding the liquidation of the properties left behind by the fugitives, the Ross Army did not participate at all.

Each loyal village discussed among themselves how to seize the farmland of the fugitives, and the loyal merchants discussed among themselves how to occupy the mansions of the fugitive merchants. Now with the endorsement of the Russian conquerors, everyone can annex without any worries and no longer have to consider moral issues.

The Russian army only asked for some physical objects: some oats and some salt. These were food supplies for the battle. Because some of the arrows were broken and the arrows needed useful supplements, the army exchanged captured axes from local hunters for some arrows.

The Ross army is going to attack Silver Castle, and Fisk's troops are going to make meritorious deeds. This will be a new expedition, and it will even require the army to move both by land and water.

There are still twelve villages in the forum, among which there are as many as seven large villages. Proportionately speaking, what the merchant Haverrus said was true. Most of the villages and the majority of the population were not militant.

But the representatives of the Danish merchants had already run away and left in the prepared long boats.

So the locals really thought they were being coerced and went to fight an unnecessary battle. The Russians are not the bad guys, those Danish refugees who started the war are!

Someone listed the crimes of the Danish refugees: "They asked for land from us as soon as they fled from Silver Castle. Now many of us have died because of them. I will send a hundred of the strongest men to assist the Russians in their operations." , but also to avenge ourselves."

There was really a response, and everyone announced how many troops they would send.

Fisk got the best result he hoped for. The total number of troops announced by all village leaders was a thousand people.

You must know that nearly two thousand people have been killed. The dead mainly came from the main war faction. The wait-and-see faction and the peace faction sent not strong men and only a small number of them.

In just two days, the peace faction came up with a truly strong army. At one time, they deliberately hid the strong men who carried their own weapons and walked out of their homes. They held high the flag of Ross and transformed themselves into the confederate army.

After discussion, they reached a rational decision. For a better future, they decided to actively gather.

With that, Fisk ended the meeting happily and even went to Havelerus' home to visit his family.

With such focus on him, Haverus was naturally entrusted with important tasks. Because there are more people marching, good logistical support is needed, and Havelerus is about to serve as one of the escorts.

Fisk returned to the military camp and summoned the army with domineering force.

The soldiers gathered together on horseback and cheered when they heard the order "March to Silver Castle".

Five hundred Russian troops join a thousand Växjö allies. Can these 1,500 troops capture Silver Castle?

I heard that the settlement has a wall, and the current Russian army that attacks it does not have an absolute advantage.

This moment shows Ross's strategic map advantage.

Fisk does not understand the geographical structure and hydrological data of Götaland, but he does understand the direction of the coastline at the southern tip of Scandinavia. As long as you go south with the current to reach Silver Castle, then it is not difficult to row into the sea and float to Bernholm Island. You can even meet the royal pirates Spuyot and his gang who are attacking everywhere on the way.

Even if you can't take the Silver Castle by yourself, how can you not succeed if you call on Si Puyute to do it together?

Those villages proved their efficiency by facts. A thousand troops were assembled the next day. They displayed the Russian flag and tied sewn flags on their spears on a large scale. Their slogan is also very strange, that is, "Revenge against the crooks who fled to Silver Castle."

The Confederates needed a leader, and Grievous, the village leader who was the first to announce his support, was designated as the commander. This matter was also supported by all the villages. After all, this person was the first to speak, and he naturally had to shoulder the responsibility. But all the village chiefs were involved, and the surrendered merchants followed Havres closely.

All parties proved their obedience through personal participation, and also used their best boats to form a fleet and float on the river.

The cavalry was advancing on the shore, and the fleet was drifting on the river. The two teams formed a rapid assault force, and the journey to Silver Castle must only be a short time.

Therefore, those who escaped all took the water route, and they did not dare to stay for fear of being hunted. The huge team once blocked the river, but thanks to entering a lake, the complicated team became orderly.

They left a lot of camping marks on the shore of the lake, and the ashes of the campfire were already cold when they touched them. Fisk did not expect that he could easily pursue them. Now it was the turn of the Ross army to camp here.

Speaking of escapees, the fastest one fled to Silver Castle in just two days and one night. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

Still under Danish control, Silvercastle was a merchant city and also engaged in production operations such as salt and wool. Without the Gotland and Bernholm markets, they sent supplies to Zealand and inland Växjö.

But the current scene is puzzling to the people of Silver Castle.

A businessman from the north? What's going on with the Växjö people this year? Their huge fleet doesn't look like they're here for trade.

The merchants closed the wooden gates to protect themselves, and the mercenaries went out of the city to inquire about the purpose of the people who landed and camped.

In this way, we received the terrible news that the unforgivable Russian army had captured Växjö.

They even added fuel and jealousy to support Växjö being killed by the Ross army, and those who escaped were the last ones left alive.

This is naturally not true, but it arouses fear and suspicion in the people of Silver Castle.

Because the Russians and the Swedes actually did it.
