The Gotlanders all need the opinions of kings and nobles, and they need them to lead everyone to defeat the enemy to avoid the loss of everyone's wealth.
Then, how did Harken and the big businessmen and village leaders who had fled in the chamber felt when the more and more people gathered? Up to now, their superficial thinking is still "supporting the war", that is, they have become a mess in their hearts.
The weather is already very cool, the people in the chamber are full of sweat on their foreheads, and Harken's anxiety is spinning everywhere.
A group of businessmen watched the king’s anxiety wandering around, making them equally irritable, and people began to talk to themselves.
"What the **** is going on? Harken, people are clamoring that the Ruth is just east of the mound."
"It really can't, I might..."
"What? You want to escape, who can escape? The Danes dare not save us now."
"This is slander. My family is here. How can I escape? Or think about how to contact the Danes."
"What about the shadow of the Danes? Have we been deceived by them again? This sea is full of liars."
"It's not that the Danes don't want to, it's the guys in Mälaren that dragged the Danish army. We can only face the Ross people alone."
...
The big businessmen and village leaders have been arguing endlessly, and the voices of the main combatants are the loudest in the quarrel, even though the unfavorable news has increased.
Those yelling people are saying that Siegfast's team has been wiped out, and there are even legends that its man has been killed.
The patrolling Danish mercenaries captured the ten Baishagang men who claimed to have escaped the clutches of the Ross people who had spread the news, and were turned into the chamber along with them. One of them showed off a beautiful saber belonging to Siegfast, and another presented a hat and a very crucial amber necklace.
"What?! My eldest son is really dead?!" Harken stamped his feet with anger, he drew his sword abruptly, and assassinated the man in Baishagang who offered the "relic" of the eldest son.
At this time someone took out a wooden board from his clothes: "The leader of Visby, leader Rose asks you to fight with them. Siegfast is not dead, they ask you to exchange him back with money."
"What? He's still alive?! It's great!" The angry Harken's spirit improved dramatically, and he snatched the plank away.
He glanced at Lu Enwen on the board, then his head was dizzy, and then he sat on the ground dramatically.
He was lifted up by the merchants present, his face bursting with blue veins, and his mouth was lowly cursing, "Damn the Ross people, they are so vicious."
Another nervous businessman picked up the plank, and because of the business's habit of being highly sensitive to numbers, he caught the ransom amount at a glance.
The businessman didn't care about Harken's extension, and asked coldly: "The Ross people want you to pay two hundred pounds of silver to redeem your son. It's crazy. Can't you pay this money?"
"Nonsense! Your son was taken away by them, why not get him back as a father? I would rather spend money."
"Oh, this is your business. Harken...oh no, my lord, this matter is still dangerous. Since the Ross people let you go in person, then the brothers will not bring anyone to join you. Since you have to choose to fight them. , My brothers will accompany you naturally. This matter..."
"Shut up!" Harken stood up reluctantly, "I'll take the people by myself. This is my personal business, and you don't need to take action. Tomorrow I will take the private soldiers, and you will wait for Visby to continue to reorganize the team. I am. I will try my best to talk to the leader of the Ross people and ask them what they want. If I can give this group of **** a sum of money to let them go, I am willing to pay, as for you."
"I am willing too." Some merchants agreed without hesitation, and then more and more people expressed the same attitude-if the price of buying peace is not too much, of course everyone can accept it.
Of course the soldiers would not discuss such matters, but they are all merchants, and in their opinion everything can be bought and sold, including war and peace. They don't think it is shameful to buy peace to send the Ross people away, unless the Ross people are under-fed whales. If so, Visby's businessmen would not hesitate to fight to the end.
The irony is that the so-called main combatants also advocate the idea of peace. They are more pragmatic than those before. The so-called first preparation for the decisive battle is a perfect solution.
To negotiate with the Ross, King Harken claimed this extremely dangerous job.
The businessmen present sighed, and then praised Harken for his courage.
Of course, in Harken's opinion, the praise of his friends is really false and ignorant. Look at these people, if it is not the enemy that hits the door of the house, who can care about whom? Ask yourself, I am the same as them, but the incident of the eldest son being captured happened to me.
With mixed emotions, he began to prepare for the ransom. Maybe it's not right to buy peace, but winter is coming soon and the Rus can't continue to delay. Let the Roths go back, and then the Gotlanders will be able to communicate well with the Danes. After the Danish army will be supported next year, will the Roths dare to make a comeback? It should not be.
Maybe it’s always better for the Russ, so that Hafgen and his army in Denmark can kill the main force of the Russ in one battle, so that most of the Gotlanders can regain safety, at least the merchant families can still do it. Happily accumulate wealth.
The life and death of ordinary people has nothing to do with the merchants, and the money lost by the merchants can be quickly earned back. In this case, according to Haken's own estimation, the so-called force of force forced the Ross people to dare not really fight, and then released the idea of buying peace. , They should agree to withdraw with money.
For all this, you need to bring people and bring the ransom to talk with the leader of the Ross people.
I am afraid that from the very beginning, it was a complete mistake to ask Siegfast to take people to inquire about the news. In the end, useful news was not found, and it was bad news.
The family's estate and wealth still need to be inherited by the eldest son. If he really loses him, the heir of all this should be inherited by the second son. Harken never felt that the second son's business level was higher than his brother's, and I am afraid that what the second son is looking forward to now is to hope that the Ross people will cut off the eldest brother.
Harken took out two hundred pounds of silver from his own money vault overnight, which was not very much for his family, but not a lot.
He has summoned most of his private soldiers, and he has also recruited more than two hundred strong men.
The plan to redeem his son could not be supported by other businessmen, and Harken had to take his men and organize a small force to personally lead away from the heavily guarded Visby early in the morning.
In the end, he is a king, and he who stands up as a king is also a king.牛牛中文网
The merchant families sent their own spies, disguised as fleeing hungry refugees, and followed Harken's team towards the foot of the hill.
Some big businessmen are already plotting something, if Harken is dead, what should everyone do. Smart businessmen will always estimate the worst outcome in advance, so as to prioritize the formulation of a set of response plans. Their plan is very simple, if Harken died on this trip, a second king would be promoted.
In the beginning, many merchants supported the war. It is said that the 500 soldiers who had climbed over the mound were wiped out. Many people were shaken by the news. Today, Harken has brought more than four hundred soldiers to negotiate with the Rus. If Harken and his team are destroyed, the battle and peace will become unknown again.
In terms of losing without a fight, no one dares to mention this kind of stupid thing rashly. The businessmen did not say it on the surface, but their inner meanings were implicitly implied to others. Each and every one of them was filled with indignation and put on a posture of smashing with the Ross people. The so-called Harken's sudden death and the election of a new king to continue fighting, is to hide their inner thoughts of riding a wall through toughness. Of course, the biggest role of this new king is probably to be responsible for finishing off the surrender of the Gotland.
After all, once Harken died on this trip, it meant that before the decisive battle, Gotland had permanently lost 900 soldiers who would protect the interests of merchants. In this way, no matter how many people are recruited, their own qualities are uneven, and there is a great possibility that they will be defeated by the Rus army.
They are all peers, and Harken has guessed what the business people's mentality is.
Harken also had his own worst plan, that is, his captured son was torn up.
In any case, the Ross people will definitely send the noble ones to negotiate. To ask about their purpose, of course you must protect your own safety.
The elderly Harken didn't have the habit of eating greasy all day long, he was just a little bit fatter than ordinary people. He was dressed like a soldier, and his upper body was deliberately put on two layers of chain mail. The Ruth people’s archery skills are amazing, and two layers of lock armor are already an excellent defense.
Harken was also afraid that his opponent would injure people with secret arrows, so he made a big effort to equip one of his hundred fine mercenaries with chain armor. The wooden shields they carried were painted with raven patterns, which proved their identity as Danish mercenaries. . .
As for those brawny men who casually support the scene, most of them are shirtless, showing gorgeous, hideous tattoos, and their blond hair willfully scattered. They are equipped with wooden shields and battle axes. The whole image is the berserker in the Gotland people's perception.
The sky is slightly gloomy, I am afraid it will not rain, but the weather today is not so good.
Rurik slept on the top of the hill with the team demanding a ransom all night, and when everyone woke up, they realized that their hands and feet were cold.
The direction of the wind has changed, the warm southwest wind has ceased, replaced by a bleak north wind, and the Nordic world has already started autumn ahead of schedule.
The quiet atmosphere made Rurik feel bad.
Today is the agreed day for the exchange of prisoners, and Rurik and Arik have made a plan for the worst. Although it is a cloudy day, if everyone feels that it is already afternoon and the opponent has not sent someone to exchange money for prisoners, Siegfast’s throat will be severed, and then he will be hung from a tree to shock and provoke Gotland. people.
The worst plan did not become a reality, the Ross army did not wait long, and a mighty army appeared.
Most of them wore helmets that covered half of their faces, all of them carried shields, and many of them were shirtless.
Arik, who is extremely sensitive to battle, ordered his brothers to be ready to attack at any time with the warrior's instinct, and warned his brother Rurik: "You should not have extravagant expectations of them. You ask their king to bring a hundred people. Guard, I think he brought an army. We are ready to fight at any time, and I will arrange for some brothers to lie in wait for the opportunity to shoot."
"Don't be impulsive." Rurik stretched his head and glanced at him, then turned to question his cousin: "That's it? It's a big army? We have three hundred veterans. I don't see it difficult to annihilate them."
"I think so too, all our troops should be the first to attack."
"It's still not possible. Our task is to get the ransom first. You have to kill the enemy, at least get the gold and silver. Once the money is in your hand, you will wait for my order to do it. Don't worry, I'm not merciful to these people."
"Maybe I'm too sensitive?" Arik shrugged disdainfully. "I'm afraid they won't carry a single copper coin. The death of a Siegfast should not be a big deal to their king. This group of people may be here. What challenged us is that we are temporarily at a disadvantage. I am still willing to take the initiative and shoot them directly by surprise. Isn’t that what you most hope for? If they bring money, the money will still be ours. Rurik, You have to know that even if you have Odin’s blessings, Odin will tolerate your death at will. You stand in front of your opponents rashly and be careful to be killed by them."
Ask yourself, Rurik was indeed the king who planned to directly assassinate the Gotland. However, for the smooth execution of the decisive battle, their king could not be stabbed to death. As for his own safety, Rurik is not a cautious person now.
"Listen to my decision, Arik. You and I brought a hundred brothers to see them, and the other soldiers lie in wait. If we are in danger, we will stand up and shoot arrows mercilessly."
In the end, the brother or the commander-in-chief, Arik felt that this decision was too risky, and still agreed.
Arik undid the twine, and his stitched left arm is now tied to a wooden shield. It seemed that it was really the blessing of God and Lumia's medical skills. Arik was excited that he was now healthy and energetic, and the wound was still a little painful, except that there was no major problem.
God blessed himself once, and obviously he will bless himself many times.
Because Odin needs him to protect Rurik, who is in danger, but this child has forgotten that he is not an adult, and he is not a reassuring warrior.
A flag bearer carried a "Ross Paddle Flag" and appeared. In the world of mixed withered yellow and ink, a white cloth appeared impressively, and there was an extremely obvious blue X-shaped strip on the cloth. There were many warriors in chain mail standing beside the standard bearer, and Jeflo was the commander of these people. They are also elite mercenaries of Rurik. No matter what accident they encounter, they will protect the benefactor Rurik to the death. They have reported the grace of the encounter. Of course, they have a more straightforward idea-since Rurik has been blessed by God, To die for him is to get a letter of introduction to enter the Hall of Valor.
"It's the Ross people! Brothers, be on your guard and watch out for their sneak attacks!" Harken saw the distant situation from a distance. His men followed orders and removed their shields to protect most of their bodies and watched everything around him vigilantly.
Harken and his men finally saw the figures standing in a row in front of them, and then looked at their extremely uniform blue-and-white clothing, as well as a group of wooden shields painted white with chalk and partially nailed with blue cloth strips. This is not What is the Roth? !
However, seeing Haken the Ross man in such a attire just felt incredible.
"You butchers on the sea, are every man trying to advertise that he is a Rose? You are pretty gorgeous after all." Harken gritted his teeth, he had to admit that the small group of opponents he showed up did indeed say something. Unclear momentum.
Harken stretched out his right hand, and the whole team stopped.
Wearing double-layered mail, he walked out of the shield wall. In order to show that his peace is not threatening, he deliberately pulled out his sword in public and then slammed it on the ground, then took off his helmet and handed it to his men, opening his arms and approaching the Ross.
Up to now ~www.novelhall.com~ he dared not show the mighty power of his king in front of a powerful enemy. Any so-called arrogant behavior would lead to the death of his captured son and the immediate general attack of the Rus. He didn't believe that it was most of the soldiers of the Ross army who stood up, but a handful of people who came to negotiate. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the pine forest on the hill, and couldn't help swallowing deeply. The pine forest will cover up many things, such as covering the main force of the Rus army.
Maybe the Roths, like their book of war, hope for an upright decisive battle, but Harken can't guarantee that they will not launch a surprise attack, such as a surprise attack on himself.
Thinking about it this way, the handful of guys in front of them are dressed up in bright colors and tell anyone from head to toe that they are Ross people. If Harken looks at them, they look like bait for cod fishing, maybe. He is the big and fat cod.
Haven't seen the noble one of the Russ, the cautious Harken spoke first: "I am the king of Gotland! My Harken! I brought what you want, where is the leader of the Russ!? "

"Cool Notes on the Rise of Rurik's Novel Find the latest chapter!The Gotlanders all need the opinions of kings and nobles, and they need them to lead everyone to defeat the enemy to avoid the loss of everyone's wealth.Then, how did Harken and the big businessmen and village leaders who had fled in the chamber felt when the more and more people gathered? Up to now, their superficial thinking is still "supporting the war", that is, they have become a mess in their hearts.The weather is already very cool, the people in the chamber are full of sweat on their foreheads, and Harken's anxiety is spinning everywhere.A group of businessmen watched the king's anxiety wandering around, making them equally irritable, and people began to talk to themselves."What the **** is going on? Harken, people are clamoring that the Ruth is just east of the mound.""It really can't, I might...""What? You want to escape, who can escape? The Danes dare not save us now.""This is slander. My family is here. How can I escape? Or think about how to contact the Danes.""What about the shadow of the Danes? Have we been deceived by them again? This sea is full of liars.""It's not that the Danes don't want to, it's the guys in Mlaren that dragged the Danish army. We can only face the Ross people alone."...The big businessmen and village leaders have been arguing endlessly, and the voices of the main combatants are the loudest in the quarrel, even though the unfavorable news has increased.Those yelling people are saying that Siegfast's team has been wiped out, and there are even legends that its man has been killed.The patrolling Danish mercenaries captured the ten Baishagang men who claimed to have escaped the clutches of the Ross people who had spread the news, and were turned into the chamber along with them. One of them showed off a beautiful saber belonging to Siegfast, and another presented a hat and a very crucial amber necklace."What?! My eldest son is really dead?!" Harken stamped his feet with anger, he drew his sword abruptly, and assassinated the man in Baishagang who offered the "relic" of the eldest son.At this time someone took out a wooden board from his clothes: "The leader of Visby, leader Rose asks you to fight with them. Siegfast is not dead, they ask you to exchange him back with money.""What? He's still alive?! It's great!" The angry Harken's spirit improved dramatically, and he snatched the plank away.He glanced at Lu Enwen on the board, then his head was dizzy, and then he sat on the ground dramatically.He was lifted up by the merchants present, his face bursting with blue veins, and his mouth was lowly cursing, "Damn the Ross people, they are so vicious."Another nervous businessman picked up the plank, and because of the business's habit of being highly sensitive to numbers, he caught the ransom amount at a glance.The businessman didn't care about Harken's extension, and asked coldly: "The Ross people want you to pay two hundred pounds of silver to redeem your son. It's crazy. Can't you pay this money?""Nonsense! Your son was taken away by them, why not get him back as a father? I would rather spend money.""Oh, this is your business. Harken...oh no, my lord, this matter is still dangerous. Since the Ross people let you go in person, then the brothers will not bring anyone to join you. Since you have to choose to fight them. , My brothers will accompany you naturally. This matter...""Shut up!" Harken stood up reluctantly, "I'll take the people by myself. This is my personal business, and you don't need to take action. Tomorrow I will take the private soldiers, and you will wait for Visby to continue to reorganize the team. I am. I will try my best to talk to the leader of the Ross people and ask them what they want. If I can give this group of **** a sum of money to let them go, I am willing to pay, as for you.""I am willing too." Some merchants agreed without hesitation, and then more and more people expressed the same attitude-if the price of buying peace is not too much, of course everyone can accept it.Of course the soldiers would not discuss such matters, but they are all merchants, and in their opinion everything can be bought and sold, including war and peace. They don't think it is shameful to buy peace to send the Ross people away, unless the Ross people are under-fed whales. If so, Visby's businessmen would not hesitate to fight to the end.The irony is that the so-called main combatants also advocate the idea of peace. They are more pragmatic than those before. The so-called first preparation for the decisive battle is a perfect solution.To negotiate with the Ross, King Harken claimed this extremely dangerous job.The businessmen present sighed, and then praised Harken for his courage.Of course, in Harken's opinion, the praise of his friends is really false and ignorant. Look at these people, if it is not the enemy that hits the door of the house, who can care about whom? Ask yourself, I am the same as them, but the incident of the eldest son being captured happened to me.With mixed emotions, he began to prepare for the ransom. Maybe it's not right to buy peace, but winter is coming soon and the Rus can't continue to delay. Let the Roths go back, and then the Gotlanders will be able to communicate well with the Danes. After the Danish army will be supported next year, will the Roths dare to make a comeback? It should not be.Maybe it's always better for the Russ, so that Hafgen and his army in Denmark can kill the main force of the Russ in one battle, so that most of the Gotlanders can regain safety, at least the merchant families can still do it. Happily accumulate wealth.The life and death of ordinary people has nothing to do with the merchants, and the money lost by the merchants can be quickly earned back. In this case, according to Haken's own estimation, the so-called force of force forced the Ross people to dare not really fight, and then released the idea of buying peace. , They should agree to withdraw with money.For all this, you need to bring people and bring the ransom to talk with the leader of the Ross people.I am afraid that from the very beginning, it was a complete mistake to ask Siegfast to take people to inquire about the news. In the end, useful news was not found, and it was bad news.The family's estate and wealth still need to be inherited by the eldest son. If he really loses him, the heir of all this should be inherited by the second son. Harken never felt that the second son's business level was higher than his brother's, and I am afraid that what the second son is looking forward to now is to hope that the Ross people will cut off the eldest brother.Harken took out two hundred pounds of silver from his own money vault overnight, which was not very much for his family, but not a lot.He has summoned most of his private soldiers, and he has also recruited more than two hundred strong men.The plan to redeem his son could not be supported by other businessmen, and Harken had to take his men and organize a small force to personally lead away from the heavily guarded Visby early in the morning.In the end, he is a king, and he who stands up as a king is also a king.The merchant families sent their own spies, disguised as fleeing hungry refugees, and followed Harken's team towards the foot of the hill.Some big businessmen are already plotting something, if Harken is dead, what should everyone do. Smart businessmen will always estimate the worst outcome in advance, so as to prioritize the formulation of a set of response plans. Their plan is very simple, if Harken died on this trip, a second king would be promoted.In the beginning, many merchants supported the war. It is said that the 500 soldiers who had climbed over the mound were wiped out. Many people were shaken by the news. Today, Harken has brought more than four hundred soldiers to negotiate with the Rus. If Harken and his team are destroyed, the battle and peace will become unknown again.In terms of losing without a fight, no one dares to mention this kind of stupid thing rashly. The businessmen did not say it on the surface, but their inner meanings were implicitly implied to others. Each and every one of them was filled with indignation and put on a posture of smashing with the Ross people. The so-called Harken's sudden death and the election of a new king to continue fighting, is to hide their inner thoughts of riding a wall through toughness. Of course, the biggest role of this new king is probably to be responsible for finishing off the surrender of the Gotland.After all, once Harken died on this trip, it meant that before the decisive battle, Gotland had permanently lost 900 soldiers who would protect the interests of merchants. In this way, no matter how many people are recruited, their own qualities are uneven, and there is a great possibility that they will be defeated by the Rus army.They are all peers, and Harken has guessed what the business people's mentality is.Harken also had his own worst plan, that is, his captured son was torn up.In any case, the Ross people will definitely send the noble ones to negotiate. To ask about their purpose, of course you must protect your own safety.The elderly Harken didn't have the habit of eating greasy all day long, he was just a little bit fatter than ordinary people. He was dressed like a soldier, and his upper body was deliberately put on two layers of chain mail. The Ruth people's archery skills are amazing, and two layers of lock armor are already an excellent defense.Harken was also afraid that his opponent would injure people with secret arrows, so he made a big effort to equip one of his hundred fine mercenaries with chain armor. The wooden shields they carried were painted with raven patterns, which proved their identity as Danish mercenaries. . .As for those brawny men who casually support the scene, most of them are shirtless, showing gorgeous, hideous tattoos, and their blond hair willfully scattered. They are equipped with wooden shields and battle axes. The whole image is the berserker in the Gotland people's perception.The sky is slightly gloomy, I am afraid it will not rain, but the weather today is not so good.Rurik slept on the top of the hill with the team demanding a ransom all night, and when everyone woke up, they realized that their hands and feet were cold.The direction of the wind has changed, the warm southwest wind has ceased, replaced by a bleak north wind, and the Nordic world has already started autumn ahead of schedule.The quiet atmosphere made Rurik feel bad.Today is the agreed day for the exchange of prisoners, and Rurik and Arik have made a plan for the worst. Although it is a cloudy day, if everyone feels that it is already afternoon and the opponent has not sent someone to exchange money for prisoners, Siegfast's throat will be severed, and then he will be hung from a tree to shock and provoke Gotland. people.The worst plan did not become a reality, the Ross army did not wait long, and a mighty army appeared.Most of them wore helmets that covered half of their faces, all of them carried shields, and many of them were shirtless.Arik, who is extremely sensitive to battle, ordered his brothers to be ready to attack at any time with the warrior's instinct, and warned his brother Rurik: "You should not have extravagant expectations of them. You ask their king to bring a hundred people. Guard, I think he brought an army. We are ready to fight at any time, and I will arrange for some brothers to lie in wait for the opportunity to shoot.""Don't be impulsive." Rurik stretched his head and glanced at him, then turned to question his cousin: "That's it? It's a big army? We have three hundred veterans. I don't see it difficult to annihilate them.""I think so too, all our troops should be the first to attack.""It's still not possible. Our task is to get the ransom first. You have to kill the enemy, at least get the gold and silver. Once the money is in your hand, you will wait for my order to do it. Don't worry, I'm not merciful to these people.""Maybe I'm too sensitive?" Arik shrugged disdainfully. "I'm afraid they won't carry a single copper coin. The death of a Siegfast should not be a big deal to their king. This group of people may be here. What challenged us is that we are temporarily at a disadvantage. I am still willing to take the initiative and shoot them directly by surprise. Isn't that what you most hope for? If they bring money, the money will still be ours. Rurik, You have to know that even if you have Odin's blessings, Odin will tolerate your death at will. You stand in front of your opponents rashly and be careful to be killed by them."Ask yourself, Rurik was indeed the king who planned to directly assassinate the Gotland. However, for the smooth execution of the decisive battle, their king could not be stabbed to death. As for his own safety, Rurik is not a cautious person now."Listen to my decision, Arik. You and I brought a hundred brothers to see them, and the other soldiers lie in wait. If we are in danger, we will stand up and shoot arrows mercilessly."In the end, the brother or the commander-in-chief, Arik felt that this decision was too risky, and still agreed.Arik undid the twine, and his stitched left arm is now tied to a wooden shield. It seemed that it was really the blessing of God and Lumia's medical skills. Arik was excited that he was now healthy and energetic, and the wound was still a little painful, except that there was no major problem.God blessed himself once, and obviously he will bless himself many times.Because Odin needs him to protect Rurik, who is in danger, but this child has forgotten that he is not an adult, and he is not a reassuring warrior.A flag bearer carried a "Ross Paddle Flag" and appeared. In the world of mixed withered yellow and ink, a white cloth appeared impressively, and there was an extremely obvious blue X-shaped strip on the cloth. There were many warriors in chain mail standing beside the standard bearer, and Jeflo was the commander of these people. They are also elite mercenaries of Rurik. No matter what accident they encounter, they will protect the benefactor Rurik to the death. They have reported the grace of the encounter. Of course, they have a more straightforward idea-since Rurik has been blessed by God, To die for him is to get a letter of introduction to enter the Hall of Valor."It's the Ross people! Brothers, be on your guard and watch out for their sneak attacks!" Harken saw the distant situation from a distance. His men followed orders and removed their shields to protect most of their bodies and watched everything around him vigilantly.Harken and his men finally saw the figures standing in a row in front of them, and then looked at their extremely uniform blue-and-white clothing, as well as a group of wooden shields painted white with chalk and partially nailed with blue cloth strips. This is not What is the Roth? !However, seeing Haken the Ross man in such a attire just felt incredible."You butchers on the sea, are every man trying to advertise that he is a Rose? You are pretty gorgeous after all." Harken gritted his teeth, he had to admit that the small group of opponents he showed up did indeed say something. Unclear momentum.Harken stretched out his right hand, and the whole team stopped.Wearing double-layered mail, he walked out of the shield wall. In order to show that his peace is not threatening, he deliberately pulled out his sword in public and then slammed it on the ground, then took off his helmet and handed it to his men, opening his arms and approaching the Ross.Up to now ~www.novelhall.com~ he dared not show the mighty power of his king in front of a powerful enemy. Any so-called arrogant behavior would lead to the death of his captured son and the immediate general attack of the Rus. He didn't believe that it was most of the soldiers of the Ross army who stood up, but a handful of people who came to negotiate. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the pine forest on the hill, and couldn't help swallowing deeply. The pine forest will cover up many things, such as covering the main force of the Rus army.Maybe the Roths, like their book of war, hope for an upright decisive battle, but Harken can't guarantee that they will not launch a surprise attack, such as a surprise attack on himself.Thinking about it this way, the handful of guys in front of them are dressed up in bright colors and tell anyone from head to toe that they are Ross people. If Harken looks at them, they look like bait for cod fishing, maybe. He is the big and fat cod.Haven't seen the noble one of the Russ, the cautious Harken spoke first: "I am the king of Gotland! My Harken! I brought what you want, where is the leader of the Russ!?
