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

The core area of ​​Tombstone Island has completely become a well-prepared wooden fort. The main body of the fort has been fortified, and the tall wooden walls provide an excellent barrier for the construction facilities in the fort.

Even when night fell and Nolen opened her eyes wide, she could clearly feel that a wooden fort in this district was actually a large and orderly existence.

She didn't want to belittle her hometown, but the fortress of the "marine crossing" of the Rus was really a very good place.

The Duke’s "Pavilion" is located on the island. It is the place of discussion and the residence of the nobles tonight.

The woodcut flute made of pure wood not only has a thick wooden floor, but its walls also have interlayers, which are stuffed with fluffy dry moss.

It was originally a traditional herringbone-shaped house. From the perspective of the insiders, the beam in the center is really a bit eye-catching when you look up.

It was constructed with a wooden floor, so as to create a small roof compartment with direct access from a wooden ladder.

The lamp panel was hung from the roof, and a large number of bronze lamp holders lit up with a faint flame. Coupled with the fire of the bronze lamp holders installed on the wall, the whole room was warm and brightly lit.

That is, it's too warm.

Nolen took off her leather headgear, and in the warm room, she wore only a plain white linen gown. The stained glass and lapis lazuli pendants placed on her chest made her pure and beautiful icing on the cake.

But true beauty doesn't need too much jewelry embellishment.

Under the light, Rurik's eyes inevitably looked at Svetlana.

This Slavic girl is the daughter of the leader of the White Tree Manor, and the power behind her is the most reliable supporter of the Rus in the huge Novgorod region.

Her face is the most delicate of all her wives and concubines, although she is the eighteenth woman, waiting for the girl to grow to be eighteen, she can only be more beautiful.

She returned to her gracefulness. With a general understanding of women, Rurik felt that the sense of obedience she showed when she met herself was not a pretense.

This is the best! Which monarch will tolerate his queen being a tigress (except for special lovers). The queen must obey the king completely, as must all concubines.

Rurik, he was not against his father choosing himself a Slav wife from the beginning. From purely political considerations, only in the world under the rule of Ross, the population of the Slavs has an overwhelming numerical advantage. For Ross, who is desperately expanding, the direct control of the Slavs will become more important.

Rather than believing in the unbreakable alliance, I'm afraid they believe in the bond of blood.

This Svetlana sits quietly on the leather cushion, her traditional patterned linen dress, her braids draped over her chest. Look at this side face, it is really attractive! The temperament that he showed when he calmed down, it seemed that he could be described as gentle and gentle.

But wait, she is a Slavic woman.

Otto has a cheerful and free and easy image. The old guy's hair and beard are almost gray, and there are obvious age spots on his face. His complexion is pale and rough. After drinking some ale, his face is ruddy again.

"You don't look like a duke, you are still a chief!" Rurik's heart was naturally held back.

The great merchant Gould is here, and the loyal mercenary guard Jeflo is also here.

The people in the room are full of cronies and relatives, except for the two newly arrived girls who lack an intuitive understanding of Rose.

Otto doesn't care about the latter. They can put their beautiful clothes aside, lie down peacefully, and their son will tell them everything.

Now, he just wanted to hear what his son Rurik's expedition had achieved.

He yelled casually: "I'll ask about other things later. Rurik, tell me everything you have experienced."

"Ah...Do you just want to hear about fighting, Dad?" Rurik was a little embarrassed.

"What? There's a fight? Come on! Let me see if you kid is a real man."

"So, where do you start?"

"Just talk about your expedition with Balmerk's army." Nolen said, deliberately interjecting.

"You?" Otto glanced at the girl with excitement, and hurriedly ordered Rurik: "Let's talk about it!"

"Okay! Okay..." Rurik shrugged, coughed vigorously, and with a very calm expression, he stretched out his fingers.

"First, I arrived in Balmock, and I married Nolan, and she is now my wife who agrees with the rules, even if she is not at the age of Rose rules.

Second, the leader of Balmerk recognized our alliance, but a war is needed to prove the blood alliance of our two races. I led a thousand Balmerk fighters on an expedition to the island of Briton’s slaves. I also recruited a hundred Shetland fighters on the way. Oh, they are actually Norwegians from Bergen. They are in Meira. The guys who sold slaves in the Birka Bazaar in Lun.

Third, I attacked the British island country called the Kingdom of Northumbria. I destroyed their two cities, and the army I led killed at least three thousand soldiers! Three thousand soldiers! I captured their king Einred, and I broke his arm myself. I finally released him. To survive, he handed over five hundred women and the wheat that filled the entire cabin of the Aphrora.

Because of this victory, I was completely accepted by the Balmerks and I gained great prestige. From then on, they will climb the mountain every year, enter our northern territory, and trade the best salt with us. Because of this alliance, our northern land is no longer just snow, wood, and prey. "

Otto heard it as a dream. He knew at least one thing. His son is naturally a good leader. This boy used victory to stabilize his alliance with Balmerk. He also won from the Norwegian on the other side of the mountain. prestige.

The so-called Zhizi Moruofu, Otto directly hit a very central issue in joy.

He gently put down the rough oak wine glass, solemnly and emotionally refreshed, and bluntly said: "You boy, you actually said your own achievements calmly. You did not lie, nor were you complacent about the victory. Some people would think you are calm. No! They were wrong! You...you are crazy. You!"

Otto jerked out his finger and pointed directly at Rurik's nose: "You don't want an alliance with Balmerk, you want it to be under your direct rule."

Bullseye in a stream of arrows!

Even if Noren was here, Rurik saw his father understand his new ideas, so he didn't need to conceal anything.

Use a pretense to cover up your ambitions? It's not necessary.

What momentum did the Rus and their leader show? Once you understand it, you understand it all.

Rurik said, "Yes! I just want to directly rule Balmer! The never-frozen port in the north will always be part of the Duchy of Ross. I! Or the son of Norren and I, will be Balmer. Ruler of gram."

How can his husband speak such bold words? ! Nolen was trying his best to be a wife on this occasion, but when she heard these words, she stood up abruptly.

Under the strange gazes of everyone, he sat down again very speechless, then bowed his head and said nothing.

What else can she mean?

Rurik stretched out his right hand at will, and gently pinched her neck: "Are you worried about Ross' invasion? How could it be possible! I was the greatest war chief of the people of your hometown. I led them to an unprecedented victory. The son also got five hundred women and a lot of silver coins. If I became the leader of Balmerk, all Balmerks would be strong."

"They? I don't care. Where is my family?"

"You!" Rurik suddenly realized, "Are you worried about this? Your son is the new leader of Balmerk. Don't worry about your two brothers, think about yourself. You are from Balmerk, even more so. Rose’s woman. Our son is the true heir to your biological father’s power. In the future, the Balmerks will not engage in any leader elections. Our son and his descendants will always be the leader of Balmerks."

Rurik said nothing but Noren nodded, seemingly understandable.

Otto admired his son's words very much. This kid showed a little fangs, and said hideous words on his calm face. It was really great.

But now to tell Noren's ambitions, to be honest, Rurik suddenly felt a bit too early.

That's it! That's it! As the monarch of Rose, it doesn't matter if you say anything, the king is just saying something. Since you let go of your rhetoric, you don't have to fear the conspirators.

But I'm afraid that Nolan didn't keep the door open.

Rurik still pinched her neck, suddenly increased, and the girl let out a cry.

"Noren, you are my woman, and you gave me a son. Our son will rule the entire Narvik district of the people, and our son will be more noble than your father and brother. So, keep this one of us. secret."

"Me! I... I dare not say."

"That's good."

Svetlana was watching this scene, although both of them spoke Gnostic, it seemed that they had nothing to do with him in the few words that he could only understand. She didn't care about these things, after all, she came to Ross with a major mission.

She was originally a naive and naughty girl, but after her sister married Rose, she was forced to become calm. In the past few years, her temperament has changed a lot. She was instilled by her parents and brothers with a very pure truth, that is, "You must support Rurik at any time, and you must never disobey Rurik."

Unexpectedly, Rurik, the handsome boy's right hand directly pinched his neck.

"Lanna, I will take the Russian army to directly rule the entire Novgorod. I... also will fight Pskov and Smolensk. The name of the place you know in your hometown will eventually be mine. Territory. The children you give to me will rule the most extensive land."

These words are all in Slavic, and the girl heard a little understanding, and then almost instinctively said: "I will, I fully support you"

Rurik shook his head: "Really, the two girls both gave me sullen faces..."

He let go of both hands, and then scratched the armpits of the two women. After shaking, both of them laughed while dodging.

"That's right. You are all my women, and I want to see you laugh."

At this moment, Otto laughed out loud with his empty wine glass. He knows that his son never brags. Since this kid can speak, he has been clamoring to conquer the known world and expand his power to the unknown world. Rurik just looked young, and the wisdom in his head was rewarded by Odin.

This kid has always done what he said, as for starting from Novgorod and conquering Smolensk in the south. If he accomplishes this feat, the heroic spirits of the ancestors who drink in Valhalla will be excited by it.

The two girls were still amused by Liu Rick, Otto saw in his eyes, enjoying the family at this moment. He stroked his gray beard, then threw it to the soldier guarding at the door: "Go! Have another drink."

No matter, Otto coughed deeply twice, ending the laughter caused by Rurik.

"Is this all the battle? It's great! You killed three thousand enemies with just one thousand people. It's a pity that you didn't bring back the five hundred slaves."

"Slaves? There are indeed five hundred. It's just that they were given to me by the Mellaren people, and they were all local serfs."

"Huh? Is there such a good thing?" Otto drank alcohol. The motion of the probe seemed very violent, and the whole person became very good at performing physical movements due to the excitement after drinking.

He danced and danced: "Oh, five hundred slaves! All our people, all thrown to Shilla Fort to open up wasteland for me."

"Dad, that's what I think."

"Wonderful! Really deserves to be my son. I know that a lot of things happened on Mellaren, and Carl died! Okay, Carl and his father died, which is a great thing. The newcomer, The man named Bjorn, I knew at a glance that he was a mediocre man. That man didn’t dare to attack Denmark, but. Rurik, you should also think about it. We destroyed the power of Gotland. The Danes would Revenge." Otto reminded him kindly, but he saw his son put on a very strange face.

"What's your face? Very confident? I advise you not to be too inflated. We lost a lot of elites in the battle last year. Don't think that if you have the opportunity to recruit Balmerk brave, you can defeat the Danish army."

"But Dad, everything has changed!" Rurik really showed a wicked smile, clearly holding back a major positive event.

"You! You?" Suddenly, Otto understood again. "You took the Balmerk army and attacked Denmark by the way? Did you win?!"

"Yes." Rurik didn't avoid it, because it was indeed the case.

"This..." Otto didn't ask his son for a while, and pointed his finger at Jeflo: "You! My most trusted Finn! Let's talk! You fought with your master, did you attack Denmark?"

It was because he had gained a great deal of trust to enter this room. Jevlo, who knew his identity remained serious and sat cross-legged, immediately kneeled to Otto to perform warrior courtesy.

"My Lord Duke, this is indeed the case. It's just that it may be a little different from what you think."

"Oh? What's the difference?"

Seeing Yevlo's hesitation in his eyes, Rurik waved his hand: "Just say it."

"Yes! Fifty clever Balmerk men admired Lord Rurik and they became new mercenaries. We were a group of nearly 80 people, sitting on the Aphrora and attacking the sea barrier guarded by the Danes. We are with Denmark. The flagship of the leader, the big ship called the Red Dragon is said to have met."

"There is such a thing?! The result?" Otto asked hurriedly.

"As you can see, we are victorious." As he spoke, Rurik finally showed the victor's smile.

Gould was completely uncomfortable when he heard this, and the fat seal stood up, and this guy was in a state of affairs suddenly.

"Ruriek, you...you said that the Aphrodite defeated the Danish red dragon?"

"Exactly!" Rurik waved his hand, a triumphant appearance, "It's just a very long long boat with many oarsmen, but our Aphrola is the **** of war at sea. What's the use of the blood-red bow? Just like the big red snake in Yemengade, after all, it’s nothing more than a decoration made of wood. God loves us the Ross people! I sank that ship, and I killed all The drowning man..."

Before Rurik's words were finished, Gould rushed again: "You didn't tell me these details when you were in Mälaren. So, you really killed their lord Hafgen by the way? These are all. Really?"

"This... who knows? If I knew the guy's face, I might be able to capture him directly. Seriously, I want to take that guy to Roseburg and let Sister Carlotta kill him by herself."

This is the second time I have heard Rurik mention this encounter, and there must be too many details in it. Gould listened again, his heart beating more fiercely.

Looking at Otto again, the old man was already like a child, his huge and aging body suddenly lay down, then he danced on all fours, and laughed, "My son killed the leader of Denmark! Odin! Thank you for your gift." !"

It was not until Otto calmed down that Rurik continued to speak.

"I'm not sure that I really killed him. I heard that the red dragon was dispatched, and its lord must be on it. I also sank two hundred Danish fishing boats. Our Aphrora is far more than it looks. Powerful. Dad, we will build a huge navy, all of which are made up of such big ships. I will also sell one to the Balmerks in accordance with the contract, for which we will make a lot of money and a more stable alliance Instead of worrying about the Danes attacking us, we can take the initiative to attack Denmark. Now the initiative is in my hands."

"I understand, you make the Danes fear. They fear Ross, so they dare not send troops to interfere with our actions. I am old, and I am completely relieved of your governance of Ross. Ah!"

Otto lay down suddenly, laughed suddenly, and yelled again after a while: "We will stay here for one day, and we will all return tomorrow morning. Back in Roseburg, I will organize people to promote your achievements. Really! Early! Knowing that Denmark is so weak, we should attack with troops, and we can still make a fortune this year."

"Okay! Glorious let everyone know."

Otto, who was lying down, raised his head slightly and asked with a smile: "So, the man named Hafgen, is he dead? It should be dead."

"This...maybe arrange to infiltrate Snoreva in Denmark. We will know the news when he returns."

"Alright. Rurik, you should think about the war with Denmark. Really, it makes me worry about the future in vain. I'm afraid your trip this summer will be a provocation and will anger Denmark. Unexpectedly! We can take the initiative to attack. . I'm tired, I'm asleep. Take your woman to rest."

Otto is really exhausted, but Rurik is still very energetic. After all, Otto was assisted by the guards into a separate room, and he was served by taking off his boots and leather clothes, wearing a delicate and comfortable linen underwear, lying flat on the soft leather cushion and wooden bed, and fell asleep under a blanket.

No matter what, Rurik took the hands of the two women and said in two languages: "Let's go, don't be restrained. I want you to be close sisters and sleep in the same bed tonight."

This is the order of the monarch. Norren and Svetlana, they both know their own destiny, and naturally want to know each other. They are both the monarch's wives and concubines, but they stubbornly insist on sleeping on their own.

In fact, Rurik didn't mean anything special, he just wanted to enjoy a big bed tonight, and he didn't have any worries about tossing around.

It's just that when he wakes up early in the morning, UU reads www.uukānshu. When com heard the gentle breathing of a woman on his left and right, he understood.

"I'm also naive. You two don't get jealous of each other. That's a weird thing." Thinking about this, Liu Rix simply sat up and woke up the two women.

As for the two sneaking into his bed last night, Rurik said nothing. He patted the back of the heads of the two sleepy-eyed people: "Be awake, we still have to return to the voyage today. When we arrive at Roseburg, I will show you the new sister."

Let’s look at Svetlana. She grabbed Rurik’s left arm and pressed her cheek directly, murmured in stubborn Norse: "You love me the most. This is destiny."

Norn was not to be outdone, and grabbed his right arm, his small face greeted him, and his words seemed to irritate Svetlana deliberately: "I just want to give you a son, I want to be a mother sooner. Our son and the leader of Balmerk are waiting to inherit."

No more nonsense, Rurik jumped up fiercely, broke free from the two girls' double-team, then slammed down, kicking his feet into his leather boots, "Get up! Hurry up!"

After hearing these two simple words, the second girl in the bed smiled heartily, and then hurriedly went down to the ground and changed into her own distinctive clothes...
