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

The Aphrora adjusted its course slightly and ran directly to the crescent-shaped bay where Visby was sitting.

Looking at the five fishing boats, it was obvious that they found anomalies. They began to move desperately to the port area, but the speed was completely inferior to the Aphrola.

The situation in front of me suddenly exceeded everyone's expectations. I saw that there were not just a few boats parked in the port area!

"Most of the old ships have been destroyed. These ships are foreign. If they are allies of Mellaren, they will not fear us." Rurik muttered to himself.

Yevlo asked in real time: "My lord, do you show our banner?"

"No! It's allies, they know our big ship. Damn, those ships..."

"A large number of enemies have taken over here?" Bijuni asked eagerly.

"It seems so. We may face a lot of enemies. I think I should adjust. I am not afraid of them. I just fight a large number of ships. It is not in our plan. I just want to hunt down the lone ships."

"That won't work, listen to my opinion!" Bijuni, he said something that Rurik couldn't refute.

The so-called letting Aphrola participate in the war, at least one enemy ten, let the Balmerks see the power of the "Russian Warship", so as to make the sale of ships more smooth.

Therefore, a "attack the crowd with less" that is not planned has become a major opportunity for Lurik to show the quality of the products to customers? why not?

The Aphrodite is just "strike the crowd with less." In essence, it is like a tabby cat facing a bunch of small mice. No matter how many mice, the tabby cat will still bite to death one by one.

During this trip, Liurik didn't want to expose himself. The big ship was replaced with brand new sails and lost the iconic blue cross stripes of the Ross people.

However, he overlooked an extremely obvious thing!

Looking at the entire Baltic Sea, whose ships use Latin-style spinnakers? Not only that, but whose ship is a behemoth?

The people on board the fishing boat rushing toward the coast thought of those terrible legends.

These people are indeed all Danes, and they come prepared. More than three hundred people followed the direct orders of their leader, Hafgen, to come to Gotland to verify the truth and fiction of those legends.

Has Gotland, which exports wool, leather and dairy products to Denmark, really suffered the disaster of war? If it is true, how many islanders still survive? What is the situation in Visby, the largest settlement?

After landing on Gotland, they immediately encountered the Mellaren who remained behind. The Danes thought it was a friend, but they were the first to be attacked by the Mellaren. Based on the absolute superiority of troops, the Danish army won. This victory was not glorious. The Danes stood on the ruins of Visby and climbed up the slopes in the subsequent search. The stench in the air was disgusting, while the vultures and gulls flew around. Finally, they saw the most terrifying scene-a field full of carrion in extreme conditions.

The entire Gotland Island seemed to have been attacked by monsters overflowing from the underworld. After seeing carrion everywhere, the ruins of Visby were regarded as acceptable by the Danes.

The island is dead, and some of the captured Mälaren people claimed that it was the territory of the Kingdom of Sweden before being executed.

The Danes did not hesitate to determine that it was the large-scale war launched by the Svealand Alliance in the north last year, including the massacre on Gotland.

It's just that there is a huge discrepancy with what a small number of Gotland refugees who fled frantically to Bornholm.

It was the Russ who started the war. They had big ships, all of them with strange triangular sails.

The captured Mälaren claimed that Ross was also part of Sweden. These Danish armed explorers who were ordered by Lord Hafgen boasted that they had the correct answer to this trip.

The Danes have put on the agenda to go back home. After all, as the temperature continues to rise, the smell of corpses not far from the terrifying battlefield will continue to permeate Visby. The stench is a terrible curse. Anyone who stays here. People will definitely die from sudden diseases.

Unexpectedly, a big ship with a spinnaker suddenly rushed over.

Rurik has completely exposed his identity-comer! Ross people!

"They are running away frantically! What a stupid. Jeflo! Are you okay?" Rurik shouted in the bow.

"Almost ready!"

"Adjust to 200 stika, try your luck!"

"Yes!"

All of the ten bull catapults were transported to the bow deck, and they were densely arranged to form a launch matrix. Due to the obstacles caused by the space for tying the ropes in the bow and the fixed position of the torsion slingshot installed on the side of the bow, the bow space is still too tight.

Seeing that his subordinates were basically ready, Rurik gave the order to fire.

The trebuchets are arranged in a three-four-three formation, and the launch is also divided into three waves.

How much can a pebble with ten fists make? Rurik hoped that all ten stones would hit, but unfortunately, the distance was all too far.

"You can't beat it!" Biyuni shouted anxiously.

"I know!" Rurik turned his head and yelled, and then hurriedly ordered Yvlo to reduce his torque slightly.

How far the trebuchet can throw the stone, the adjustment mechanism is the ratchet that controls the downward pressure of the torsion lever.

"Keep on launching! Hurry up!" Rurik ordered again. He gritted his teeth and said silently in his heart: "I don't believe it anymore. There is no one draw from ten to one."

Sorry, the reality is very real, and there is really no hit.

However, the hapless fishing boat was completely within the range of the trebuchet. In the first round of shooting, the stones splashed around the boat. The nearest stone fell less than two meters from the oarsman.

"Go on! Let's continue chasing! The torsion slingshot is ready!"

Rurik almost gave up the trebuchet to hit a moving target. It seems that this new weapon used in naval warfare, without the most basic "fire control calculation method", is launched entirely by feeling, and it is a miracle that it can hit one.

Biyuni yelled: "Leurik, let your big ship rush up! Our speed is fast, and the wind is on me, knocking down their ship!"

Rurik didn't talk nonsense. He ordered the third round of shooting, which was considered the third tenth company. If it didn't, it would be too bad.

It seemed that God responded to Rurik's words.

The enemy ship was beaten as a target. There were only ten people on board. They were frightened by the sudden rocks. For a while, they couldn't understand how the clear sky would drop the rocks. They were paddling frantically, and noticed that the brothers on the shore were on guard. Look at those people. They are already running towards the boat. The so-called trend is to attack the big boats.

The stone came again, quietly.

A shaggy Danish oarsman was hit in the head and was kicked on the spot. The scene was terrifying!

Only two stones hit, one killed the enemy, and the other smashed through the sail of the ship. The deceased was pushed into the water urgently, and the remaining people rowed more desperately, but unfortunately the escape route has been ended.

What is the hydrological condition of Visby's offshore waters? The Ross people have fought in this area. What’s more amazing is that last year, the Aphrora in this waters almost beat the Visby fleeing fleet with the strength of a ship. At that time, some of the sailors on the ship were now Stand here again.

Everything is like history repeating itself. After a year, the more powerful Aphrodite is here again!

The wide sails blew the Aphrodite into a hurricane, and she was walking on the waves. The fighting distance is already less than 50 meters. It's time for the torsion slingshot and crossbow to show off!

With a dexterous left-hand rudder, the Aphrora turned sharply. Her side faced the enemy, and a variety of long-range firepower unrelentingly unleashed a round of fire on the people on the ship!

There were as many as five rounds of cone-shaped cast iron bullets dedicated to destroying ships, and they all hit, immediately digging two large leaking holes for the enemy ship.

The enemy on the ship was hit by arrows again, and in the end only two helpless people were left. It was seen that the big ship, which had adjusted its course, was walking in an arc, and the bow of the ship slid sideways and charged.

After the salvo of Aphrora, the rudder slammed to the right again, and Rurik himself only grasped the railing of the ship's side and was not thrown out.

The bow collision angle of the big ship squeezed, and she squeezed the sideboard of the enemy ship at an oblique angle, and with her astonishing volume, she forced the enemy ship into the water forcibly. The two helpless people, who had just jumped into the sea to survive, were smashed to pieces by the hard and thick bottom of the Aphrola and became food for fish...

"It's really hard work. I finally solved an enemy." As the Aphrora tended to resume its smooth sailing, Lurik could not help breathing while holding on to the railing.

Biyuni and Frocky, the brothers, both leaned on the side railings and looked at the enemy ship that had been crashed into the wreckage, their eyes widened with emotion.

Rurik bowed a little again, turned his head and screamed at the Bijonni brothers: "You are careful! The enemy force has appeared! Keep away from the ship's side and bring me helmets! We are going to fight them!"

The Danes on the shore were almost out of their nests, and they boarded ten long boats and bravely rushed to the deadly bow of the Aphrola with a variety of weapons. Seeing the momentum of the friendly forces, the other fleeing ships immediately changed their course.

Everyone on the Aphrora is a warrior, and now even all the Balmerks are ordered to pick up a steel-armed crossbow.

Rurik was confident in his big ship, but it was always good to be cautious on the battlefield. Under special circumstances, any "crossbow restriction" imposed on the Balmerks would weaken their combat effectiveness, and there was no hesitation.

He also put on a helmet himself, which must be a very ordinary typical Viking-style dome helmet that can cover half of his face. He is dressed up and looks ugly, hoping that he will not become a target on the battlefield. The crossbow in his hand has turned the whole person into a deadly warrior.

One enemy fourteen?

Who is the ultimate winner?

In fact, until now, neither party in the battle can completely determine the identity of each other. Since both sides are hostile to each other, the fight does not require any reason, not even the minimum verbal negotiation.

For those who paddle long boats, the oarsmen can directly touch the cold water!

But Aphrora, the so-called mid-deck of the ship is closest to the waterline, plus the height of the side railing, it is also as high as three meters.

These Danes who were ordered were all warriors of the tribe of the Danish leader Hafgen, and every man played a ruthless role in the battlefield.

Unfortunately, it is not personal bravery that determines the victory of this battle.

The fierce Danish imagined that after arriving at the opponent's ship, he directly climbed onto the ship with his hands and feet, and took the ship and drove back. Isn't it the best gift for the lord Hafgen? It is a pity that when they saw the true face of the ship, they knew that the danger was coming.

Rurik roared again: "Hold the wood! Grab the rope! Welcome the collision!"

The copper-clad bow collision angle of the Aphrora is a siege hammer that can crash the city wall. The convex weapon directly knocked down the bow of the enemy ship, and then the entire Aphrora was hard. The keel rode directly on the enemy ship, and everyone on it was crushed into meat, and even the sails and masts were completely broken.

It is like a heavy cavalry opposing a group of light cavalry, or a tiger king colliding with 14 T26s, the result is obvious. In the first round of confrontation, the Aphrora literally crushed an enemy ship, and the battle had just begun.

When he realized what terror was, the Danes suddenly lost more than half of their courage. Some ships were shaken, and some were ready to fight another fight.

However, before the Aphrora completed its turn, the Danish was rushed by various ammunition fired from the big ship.

Thanks to the wonderful weather, Rurik put a heavy steel-armed crossbow on the side railing. He pulled the trigger in time to match the swing of the ship. After a strong recoil and tremor, he made a heavy head. The crossbow arrow flew accurately through the head of an oarsman on an enemy ship about forty meters away.

With just the firing of the torsion slingshot and crossbow, the two long Danish ships stopped moving and began to sink gradually.

After the big ship had finished adjusting its direction, the huge spinnaker used the wind flexibly. She rear-ended an enemy ship with a strong force, and then tore it into wreckage again with the people and the ship.

Following this strong momentum, another enemy ship was bumped into two pieces by the waist.

The Danes are paying a terrible price for their recklessness, and still in the same sea area, the Aphrodite is repeating the unparalleled killing a year ago.

There was no suspense in the next battle. Brother Bijuni, even with all the Balmerks, they were sullen, and they kept firing their crossbows, accurately shooting one enemy after another. And the heavy weapons of the Ruths gave the enemy deadly knives, so-called digging large holes and allowing them to sink.

If the battle started from the collision between the two sides, it lasted for about half an hour and still did not end. It was such a long time that the Aphrora was actually adjusting its course most of the time. The really deadly battle happened in a very short time. It was precisely this short contact that the Aphrodite frequently performed deadly attacks.

This is the case for real battles, and to seize the opportunity is to pursue and fight the enemy vigorously. Rurik would never and could not reward the enemy with the opportunity to fight with him.

Until now, there are a lot of broken wood and some pieces of sails floating on the surface of the sea. Some people who had fallen into the water were still alive holding the driftwood and wailing. Unfortunately, instead of saving them, Arik ordered the attack to continue.

Bijuni never understood why his Rurik brothers had to arrange some extremely long spears under the side railings of the deck of the big ship. It turned out that their function was...

The sailor skillfully held the spear and stabbed the enemy who fell into the water. Some of Rurik's men also installed the cheapest bone-clustered crossbows without tails for the crossbows to accurately shoot down those who fell into the water.

After the last two enemy ships, they are about to flee back to the coast.

"Don't let them go, but keep alive!" Rurik issued the final battle order.

Everything is under his control. The performance of the Aphrodite is very outstanding and normal. A total of 13 ships have turned into pieces of driftwood on the sea surface, and a large number of dead bodies are dragged by absorbent clothes and armor pieces. Fall directly to the bottom of the sea.

The last two enemy ships ushered in destruction, and those who fell into the water were chased and beaten vigorously. Only one fell into the water grabbed the rope that seemed to be alive.

A hapless guy was rescued. He became the first Danish to board the Aphrodite, but he was also doomed to death.

This person was first punched and kicked by Rurik's indulgent subordinates, and when he was dying from the beating, Rurik raised his head and asked about their origins.

"Who are you? They all look like enemies. Is it Gotland Remnant? Or is it a Danish? Or..."

The man who was **** with hands and feet and covered in blood, he stumbled on claiming to be a Danish. As for the significance of his appearance in the ruins of Visby on Gotland, after Rurik claimed that he could survive by telling the truth, he One, five and ten are all recruited.

"Ah! This is the case!" Rurik was not surprised to learn the news, but...

Bijuni was also taken aback. He was excited about the first fight and the first killing. Now he has to worry about his Rurik brothers: "The Danes will use force against you, Rurik, things have changed. serious."

"Yes. If the Danes launch an offensive this year, they will definitely attack Melaren mainly. According to our Ross and Mellaren alliance, we need to send troops to participate in the exhibition. Damn it, this year's decisive battle is really untimely."

Rurik's small mouth with a sullen mouth seemed to be anxious in Biyuni's eyes.

It's time to show my reliability as a brother. Biyuni patted Rurik on the shoulder: "We are brothers. If the Danes act on Rose, we, the Balmerk warriors, will definitely organize an expeditionary force. For example, I will bring a thousand soldiers to climb the mountain or take the sea to help. you."

"Oh, thank you. But even if the Danes attack on a large scale, maybe..." Rurik was strong and smiled confidently: "If it is a naval battle, as you can see, we Rus own a big ship, and the enemy is counted. What? What do you think? Brother Bijuni, you can buy such a big ship with two thousand pounds of salt, and you can be as strong as I am."

Facts speak louder than words. Now Biyunni didn't hesitate at all. He made up his mind that even if it was to sell iron, his tribe would have to have a warship similar to the Aphrodite.

The captive revealed that the Danish leader intends to retaliate against the entire Northern Svealand Alliance. Previously, Liurik only deduced and concluded that the enemy would retaliate. The old Danish businessman Eric also described how Hafgen, such as Hafgen, used it in anger over the years Terrorist acts. The captive was so sure that things seemed to be true.

"What should I do next? Land and see? There is still this prisoner?" Bijuni asked cautiously.

Rülik gave Jeflo a look at will, and Jeflo didn't hesitate to stabbing the captive with a sword before throwing it into the sea.

Being so clean and decisive once again surprised Biyuni. In his eyes, his little brother Rurik, under his calm, beautiful and seemingly kind appearance, indeed hides a fierce heart.

Rurik turned his head and said with a sigh of relief: "The encounter had a windfall, and now we have to continue sailing."

"You seem to have any new plans?" Bijuni asked again.

"The plan remains unchanged, but the Danish seas will have more important significance to create chaos in the sea."

Considering the nature of the matter had become very serious, Rurik stood on the bow deck, facing his men with different expressions after the victory: "Brothers! The captive said that the Danish leader is going to attack the Kingdom of Sweden where we are. I won’t allow this to happen this year~www.novelhall.com~If the Mälaren people are busy with the challenge, we won’t be able to get a lot of wheat in the fall, which is not a good thing for us. Keep going with me and create terror in the Danish waters! No mercy! Let those guys attack us with inferior ships, and then be completely crushed by our Aphrodite. Let us use one ship to destroy the Danish leader’s delusion! Ula!"

The sword drawn Ruriek shouted at Ullah, and his dignified mercenaries had long been used to this special battle cry. People chanted Ullah rhythmically, and even the Balmerks were infected by the inspiring atmosphere, chanting Ullah.

The Aphrora also adjusted its course. She headed straight for the Kalmar Strait, vowing to sweep the entire narrow waters of 150 kilometers in length and sweep any ships it encountered. Rurik had no worries, because the Merlaren businessman and the very crucial new Swedish king Karl mentioned the news of the rebellion of the Saxons at the Borgholm fortress. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, Rurik concluded that it must be true.

With such a continuing voyage, the Aphrora will never encounter friendly forces again. Rurik decided to do things a little more absolutely. The so-called in the waters near the southern silver fort where the Swedish army was smashed, chasing merchant ships and fishing boats for a period of time, this is no longer a simple act of murder and pirates, but It is a tactic to exhaust the enemy.

Rurik was to disrupt the Danes' plan to counterattack.
