, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!
Vadim assembled a large army in just five days, and each manor sent a team, with a total force of up to seven or eight thousand people!
In the end, Pine Needle Manor had the largest population, and Vadim's army drawn from his manor accounted for half of the total force. With such a hard power, each manor had to recognize the rule of this tyrant.
Vadim claimed to be a prince, and he was surrounded by a group of loyal guards and a group of allied Varyag warriors.
Novgorod has never had such a grand occasion. They were shocked by their strength and full of confidence.
It is far from enough to force the manors to send troops by relying on the army's pressure. Vadim promised to the manor owners that after defeating and expelling the Ruth forces, the manors would not have to pay taxes to him, the Prince of Novgorod.
Some people are tempted, some are suspicious. At least on the surface, their attitude is all supportive.
Vadim was still too young, he could not grasp the power of the prince...
The Pine Needle Manor is recruiting troops to expand its armaments, and the arrogant Vadim does not shy away from his actions.
Even Vadim deliberately made a high profile, just to frighten the Ross ships who were unwilling to leave.
He had no intention of negotiating with the Rus, and the battle was about to not even dispatch the scouts to find out the details of the Rus.
Vadim knew nothing about the strength of the Ross army, and was even more arrogant not to know.
He is busy gathering his own army, but the unbreakable anti-Ross alliance built by assault relying on military might is really monolithic?
Some manor houses are supportive on the surface, behind the scenes, when Vadim led his troops to leave, the manor gathered the men from the whole farm to gather together for a secret meeting.
Fighting Rose? This is a dead end! Besides, Vadim, who killed his father and seized power, chose the war, and Pine Needle Manor was dragging other manors to death!
This farm called "Cattle Calf" was weak, and it only managed to make up two hundred soldiers by gathering men over twelve years old. Everyone is either a cowherd or a farmer. Although the tribute is paid to the Rus every year, the amount of tribute has always been within a tolerable range.
Moreover, the people received a "reward" from the Ross people.
The axe for logging, the sickle for mowing, and the spear for hunting. Although these excellent iron tools are bought at a high price, if the Ross people don't sell these, the people still have to cherish the only iron tool.
The Novgorod region lacks ore due to geographical reasons. Even if the Russians start selling ironware, the huge metal demand in the entire region is in vain. While collecting the tribute, giving the local people some iron tools can effectively calm their emotions. Otto has already noticed this.
The men gathered together to discuss that some of them were expensive or not, or that there was no clear high or low.
This is the Slavs’ meeting of Radha, which is slightly different from the Duma Council.
Someone proposed to evade Bingxiu with softness, and the crowd broke out with roars.
When someone proposed not only to flee with softness, but to escape to the White Tree Manor controlled by the Ross people, this proposal received the loudest shout of the entire manor.
This is the case for the Lada Conference. Everyone can make proposals. The loudest roar of the people in a proposal equals the passage of the bill.
The men of Calf Manor made their choice, that is, since the war is inevitable, they firmly believe that the tough Rus will win, and the Russ after victory will inevitably take terrible revenge. What the manor got might be like the good days of White Tree Manor.
People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and people are full of misgivings about the unknown.
The Calf Manor made a difficult choice, betting on the lives of the entire manor. They temporarily abandoned the farmland and the sprouting wheat seedlings. The men took the women and children and drove thousands of cattle and a handful of sheep and reindeer. Pushing and pulling the trolley, secretly moved to the white tree manor at the northernmost end of the lake.
The calf manor left a large pile of woodcuts and a large area of land in their village.
The owner of the manor is a man who can speak and see the rudder, and his name is Usky Saarinovic.
This Usky is very confident, and consciously handing over the news at hand to the Ross people will immediately bring security to the entire estate and even a better future.
He believed that the Ruths certainly did not know the big moves of Vadim the Father-killer.
They deliberately lifted the village for their lives one evening, driving the cattle and sheep to the north silently in the woods.
However, the man at the outpost soon noticed that the other group was also fleeing for their lives.
Usky was in a mixed mood. He speculated that the escapee in front of him might be the group of fishermen from the "Angler" manor.
The contact between the two parties in the dark night was extremely embarrassing, and each other's guards almost caused a misunderstanding.
"Is it Tori Msjevic? Where are you? I am the cowherd south of you." Usky called out, and he revealed his identity in exchange for the other's trust.
The dense pine forest covers the camps of the refugees from the two small farms. Even if they light a bonfire, they cannot see from a distance.
"Unexpectedly, you don't want to give to that Vadim. Eat, grill the fish."
Tori at the Angler’s Farm threw the grilled sea bass, but Usky had no intention of feasting on it.
"Vadim the Father Killer is a tyrant. Do you believe his nonsense?" he asked.
"Trust?" Tori laughed loudly, "Trust him and I won't take the people with me to evacuate. The Ross people are very powerful, and more than a hundred men under me will be easily killed by them if they rush up. Vadim is a lunatic. If there is a big battle, he will force me to fight the Ross people desperately, and in the end my manor will fall apart!"
"He is indeed a lunatic, and I guess that even if he wins, he will still order other manors to pay him taxes in the future."
"But he definitely can't win." Tori was determined, and then he said shockingly: "The father-killer also dared to call himself a king. My brothers support him on the surface, but he is still not fleeing like you and me. We can join in. In the Rus army, I heard that the new leader of the Rus is the son-in-law of Gus in the White Tree Manor. In my opinion, if I sacrifice my daughter, we can also benefit."
Usky suddenly realized, but regretfully hooked his head down: "Unfortunately, I don't have a daughter."
"You have no brains! Ask a girl from your friends and tell the Ross people that this is your daughter, dedicated to their new leader."
"Oh! That's true. Then I have to choose a pretty girl."
Offering women, offering treasures and swearing allegiance, the two farms believe that their actions can exchange the gifts of peace from the Ross people.
It took them a day and a half to finally reach the outskirts of White Tree Manor, but their sneaky whereabouts had been spotted by Otto's scouts.
The wrong news reached the White Tree Manor, and the nervous farmer's arms directly flew the pot.
Men and women picked up spears one after another, and Medvedt was already in line with his three hundred men.
Through the description of the scout, Otto confirmed that it was not an army at all. A group of people chasing cattle and sheep, there are obviously children crying inside, how do you think they are a group of refugees?
what on earth is it? Otto guessed at odds.
First of all, this veteran old leader violently stopped the peasant soldiers' restlessness and ordered them not to be nervous.
At a critical moment, he hurriedly recruited Medvedt and ordered: "There is a refugee group moving towards your manor. You organize two hundred people to welcome them. Remember, stay vigilant and beware of traps but not surprise attacks. What should you do? know."
"Yes."
Medvedt immediately organized a small army, his soldiers in order to protect their farmland, and even proved to the Ross people will fight hard.
However, they were not allowed to take the initiative to fight during this interception, and they deliberately made the appearance of flaring their teeth and dancing their claws, suddenly sprang from the forest, and appeared in front of the refugee team with weapons.
Tori and Uskey had anticipated this situation for a long time. They held their hands high and kept drawing, shouting: "We are not enemies! We support Rose!"
"You support Rose?" Medvedt took off the special iron helmet that Rose has, and stepped forward aggressively, while his warriors were still on guard with spears and crossbows.
Medvedt must be the owner of White Tree Manor, and both Usky and Tori knew him. Similarly, Medvedt also knew these two leaders.
"You are the cowherd and the angler! What are you doing here on earth!? You seem to be fleeing in a clan." Medvedt, who squinted to see clearly, warned.
"We want to see the leader of the Ross people, we have something important to pay back." Usky said eagerly.
Medvedt hesitated: "See leader Rose? No, the leader won't see you."
He must be cautious, after all, Otto had only escaped from the despicable assassination a few days ago, and he was very alert to people outside the White Tree Manor.
Usky also saw that this was perfunctory, and he was sweating anxiously: "Medvet! Do you know what else Pine Needle Manor wants to do? They gathered everyone to attack your white tree, and they wanted to kill all of you. They want war. We just want to tell the Russians that Vadim, who killed the father, is about to kill with an army of 10,000 people!"
The amount of information is very huge. After carefully tasting several important information, Medvedt extracted the most shocking news-war.
He is not afraid of war, and is even willing to crusade against Pine Needle Manor. Besides, this year the Rus people are going to expedition to Karelia. The Rus Principality has assembled a huge battle force. Unexpectedly, at this point, Pine Needle Manor actually stabs.
Medvete was still worried, and immediately ordered: "Let me believe you can. Take off your weapons and follow me."
Usky and Tori looked at each other, and both agreed.
The two also expressed that in order to show their sincerity, they would sacrifice their daughter to be the maid of the new leader of Rose.
Maid? Isn’t a maid the same as a wife?
The two didn't know that it would be fine to tell anyone, but they couldn't tell Medvedt.
But seeing Medvedt's forehead violent suddenly, his sister is the wife of Duke Rurik of Ross. The existence of her sister makes White Tree Manor enjoy huge benefits. Do the anglers and the cowherds also want to share a piece of the pie? He didn't care about other women, the daughter of a local nobleman in Novgorod had no right to compete with his sister.
Wait a minute, maybe it can be like this...
Medvet had an idea: "Then give your daughter to me! I am the captain of the Duke of Ross, and a person who is highly regarded by the Duke of Ross. I can give you a few words to meet my requirements."
The two looked at each other again, and it was obvious that this Medvedt had to be satisfied before the refugee team could really get the asylum of the Ross people.
Because Ross is the master of this lake area, and Vadim is just a violent father-slayer, a young villain.
The two immediately offered the women they had prepared. In fact, the two girls were not their daughters either.
Medvedt had no intention of discriminating, what he wanted was the sincerity of the other party, so he accepted the woman and announced that they would be the people of White Tree Manor in the future.
A total of 900 refugees, all unarmed, arrived at the White Tree Manor under the surveillance of Medved's men.
The real people of White Tree Manor are very repulsive of these outsiders. There is no clear hatred between the two parties. This is because the locals subconsciously worry that outsiders will eat their own interests.
Otto was still very surprised by these refugees. Taking into account the concerns of the locals, he ordered the refugees to camp in the unowned woodland a little farther away.
But their children have not been "arrested" for the time being, and they are placed in a barn controlled by the Rus, with a stable supply of food and water.
Usky and Tori knew that the children had become hostages, and it was obvious that their strange encounters came from Vadim's stupid assassination.
The two were rigorously searched and were able to enter the meeting room of the White Tree Manor under the supervision of many Ross fighters, and met the manor Ligus and the real owner, the old Duke Otto of Ross.
Usky and Tori have seen Otto many times, but Otto has always disdain to remember the names of some small characters, even though he has been to the two farms to collect tributes in kind.
The two noticed that the aging nobleman was dressed in iron armor, and the iron armor shimmered in the light of the oil lamp.
With such an armor, Vadim would have a ghost if he succeeded in assassination.
Otto just put on the jersey deliberately, this is his habit, and it is very necessary now.
The Ross people were too lazy to be polite, and the warriors on both sides of the seat gritted their teeth and ordered the audience to leave after they said their intentions!
In a great panic, Tori and Uski began to stammer to explain what they knew.
Vadim of Pine Needle Manor was not only the mastermind of the assassination, but also killed his father Borudne afterwards.
Vadim chose to declare war on Rose, killing all opponents and their families, and leading the army to force other mansions to send troops.
The Calf Manor and the Angler Manor knew that they were weak and were afraid of war. They didn't want to sacrifice their lives to Pine Needle Manor, let alone daring to be an enemy of Rose.
Such important information does not shock Otto. As an old guy who has been on the battlefield, he has already guessed such a result.
"Vadim? I remember this kid who threatened to kill me back then. He really did it. Unfortunately, he was reckless and a complete bastard. He dared to kill his father and kill his people indiscriminately. Tell me , How many troops he has assembled."
Usky was upset in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Vadim claims to have ten thousand people."
"So much?" Otto was only slightly surprised.
On the other hand, Rigus and Medvedt both opened their eyes wide because of their astonishment.
The army in the Slavs concept is equivalent to all those who take up arms, but in the current concept of the Rus, the army is an armored team with a similar formation of a flag team.
Of course Otto knows the situation of the Slavs. Their army is essentially a group of armed farmers, a mob! If you want to come to your son, Rurik, he won't even look at them.
But they actually organized 10,000 people!
The pragmatic Otto feels that this force value is indeed something, because the population of Novgorod area is huge, they can unite to burst out 10,000 armed farmers, but they do not know that there is a lot of water inside.
"There are so many of them, it is not my will to kill them. I have to keep these people and pay me taxes!"
Otto said this deliberately, and Rigus hurriedly responded: "My lord, they dare to resist you but don't want to pay the tribute. Kill them! If we don't do this, the war will not end."
To put it bluntly, Rigus coveted those fields. The enemy killed a large number of vacant fields. Now the White Tree Manor has absorbed the population of many other manors, and the total population is already quite large. Can it be quick to **** the ready-made mature fields for land reclamation? The mature farmland that has been developed is a hot asset in the region. Any farmer wants to expand his acres, and the men in the entire White Tree Manor are all eyeing them.
The important information from the Calf Manor and the Angler Manor forced Otto, who was temporarily stretched, to be more cautious. Since they hoped to receive Rose's asylum and promise of peace in the future, it was not enough to wait for the victory to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Otto finally ordered: "Your men are armed again and now accept my command. I will not let you attack them~www.novelhall.com~ but if they take the initiative to challenge, we must fight together."
The two immediately supported Otto's wise governance.
Tori tremblingly asked, "My lord, it seems that your army is not strong. If you want to defeat them, rely on this strength?"
Otto laughed, Rigus and Medvedt both laughed, and the other soldiers present laughed madly.
Otto explained slowly, Medvedt made a precise translation in Slavic: "When we were gathering our army to attack the Karelians in the north, Vadim, this fool, actually chose to rebel and war, and the army of Rurik Coming soon, Pine Needle Manor will no longer exist."
Finally, Otto added another one: "If those mansions that are trapped can be abandoned, they will be forgiven, and if Vadim makes trouble, all men and women will be put to death!"
Otto believed that his messenger had already approached Rurik and that the main army in Shilla Fort would move south first.
But the reinforcements of Konuf and his sons are afraid that they will arrive tomorrow. As long as the reinforcements of Silla Fort arrive first, the defense forces of White Tree Manor can make Otto completely rest assured.

But the reinforcements of Konuf and his sons are afraid that they will arrive tomorrow. As long as the reinforcements of Silla Fort arrive first, the defense forces of White Tree Manor can make Otto completely rest assured.
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!Vadim assembled a large army in just five days, and each manor sent a team, with a total force of up to seven or eight thousand people!In the end, Pine Needle Manor had the largest population, and Vadim's army drawn from his manor accounted for half of the total force. With such a hard power, each manor had to recognize the rule of this tyrant.Vadim claimed to be a prince, and he was surrounded by a group of loyal guards and a group of allied Varyag warriors.Novgorod has never had such a grand occasion. They were shocked by their strength and full of confidence.It is far from enough to force the manors to send troops by relying on the army's pressure. Vadim promised to the manor owners that after defeating and expelling the Ruth forces, the manors would not have to pay taxes to him, the Prince of Novgorod.Some people are tempted, some are suspicious. At least on the surface, their attitude is all supportive.Vadim was still too young, he could not grasp the power of the prince...The Pine Needle Manor is recruiting troops to expand its armaments, and the arrogant Vadim does not shy away from his actions.Even Vadim deliberately made a high profile, just to frighten the Ross ships who were unwilling to leave.He had no intention of negotiating with the Rus, and the battle was about to not even dispatch the scouts to find out the details of the Rus.Vadim knew nothing about the strength of the Ross army, and was even more arrogant not to know.He is busy gathering his own army, but the unbreakable anti-Ross alliance built by assault relying on military might is really monolithic?Some manor houses are supportive on the surface, behind the scenes, when Vadim led his troops to leave, the manor gathered the men from the whole farm to gather together for a secret meeting.Fighting Rose? This is a dead end! Besides, Vadim, who killed his father and seized power, chose the war, and Pine Needle Manor was dragging other manors to death!This farm called "Cattle Calf" was weak, and it only managed to make up two hundred soldiers by gathering men over twelve years old. Everyone is either a cowherd or a farmer. Although the tribute is paid to the Rus every year, the amount of tribute has always been within a tolerable range.Moreover, the people received a "reward" from the Ross people.The axe for logging, the sickle for mowing, and the spear for hunting. Although these excellent iron tools are bought at a high price, if the Ross people don't sell these, the people still have to cherish the only iron tool.The Novgorod region lacks ore due to geographical reasons. Even if the Russians start selling ironware, the huge metal demand in the entire region is in vain. While collecting the tribute, giving the local people some iron tools can effectively calm their emotions. Otto has already noticed this.The men gathered together to discuss that some of them were expensive or not, or that there was no clear high or low.This is the Slavs' meeting of Radha, which is slightly different from the Duma Council.Someone proposed to evade Bingxiu with softness, and the crowd broke out with roars.When someone proposed not only to flee with softness, but to escape to the White Tree Manor controlled by the Ross people, this proposal received the loudest shout of the entire manor.This is the case for the Lada Conference. Everyone can make proposals. The loudest roar of the people in a proposal equals the passage of the bill.The men of Calf Manor made their choice, that is, since the war is inevitable, they firmly believe that the tough Rus will win, and the Russ after victory will inevitably take terrible revenge. What the manor got might be like the good days of White Tree Manor.People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and people are full of misgivings about the unknown.The Calf Manor made a difficult choice, betting on the lives of the entire manor. They temporarily abandoned the farmland and the sprouting wheat seedlings. The men took the women and children and drove thousands of cattle and a handful of sheep and reindeer. Pushing and pulling the trolley, secretly moved to the white tree manor at the northernmost end of the lake.The calf manor left a large pile of woodcuts and a large area of land in their village.The owner of the manor is a man who can speak and see the rudder, and his name is Usky Saarinovic.This Usky is very confident, and consciously handing over the news at hand to the Ross people will immediately bring security to the entire estate and even a better future.He believed that the Ruths certainly did not know the big moves of Vadim the Father-killer.They deliberately lifted the village for their lives one evening, driving the cattle and sheep to the north silently in the woods.However, the man at the outpost soon noticed that the other group was also fleeing for their lives.Usky was in a mixed mood. He speculated that the escapee in front of him might be the group of fishermen from the "Angler" manor.The contact between the two parties in the dark night was extremely embarrassing, and each other's guards almost caused a misunderstanding."Is it Tori Msjevic? Where are you? I am the cowherd south of you." Usky called out, and he revealed his identity in exchange for the other's trust.The dense pine forest covers the camps of the refugees from the two small farms. Even if they light a bonfire, they cannot see from a distance."Unexpectedly, you don't want to give to that Vadim. Eat, grill the fish."Tori at the Angler's Farm threw the grilled sea bass, but Usky had no intention of feasting on it."Vadim the Father Killer is a tyrant. Do you believe his nonsense?" he asked."Trust?" Tori laughed loudly, "Trust him and I won't take the people with me to evacuate. The Ross people are very powerful, and more than a hundred men under me will be easily killed by them if they rush up. Vadim is a lunatic. If there is a big battle, he will force me to fight the Ross people desperately, and in the end my manor will fall apart!""He is indeed a lunatic, and I guess that even if he wins, he will still order other manors to pay him taxes in the future.""But he definitely can't win." Tori was determined, and then he said shockingly: "The father-killer also dared to call himself a king. My brothers support him on the surface, but he is still not fleeing like you and me. We can join in. In the Rus army, I heard that the new leader of the Rus is the son-in-law of Gus in the White Tree Manor. In my opinion, if I sacrifice my daughter, we can also benefit."Usky suddenly realized, but regretfully hooked his head down: "Unfortunately, I don't have a daughter.""You have no brains! Ask a girl from your friends and tell the Ross people that this is your daughter, dedicated to their new leader.""Oh! That's true. Then I have to choose a pretty girl."Offering women, offering treasures and swearing allegiance, the two farms believe that their actions can exchange the gifts of peace from the Ross people.It took them a day and a half to finally reach the outskirts of White Tree Manor, but their sneaky whereabouts had been spotted by Otto's scouts.The wrong news reached the White Tree Manor, and the nervous farmer's arms directly flew the pot.Men and women picked up spears one after another, and Medvedt was already in line with his three hundred men.Through the description of the scout, Otto confirmed that it was not an army at all. A group of people chasing cattle and sheep, there are obviously children crying inside, how do you think they are a group of refugees?what on earth is it? Otto guessed at odds.First of all, this veteran old leader violently stopped the peasant soldiers' restlessness and ordered them not to be nervous.At a critical moment, he hurriedly recruited Medvedt and ordered: "There is a refugee group moving towards your manor. You organize two hundred people to welcome them. Remember, stay vigilant and beware of traps but not surprise attacks. What should you do? know.""Yes."Medvedt immediately organized a small army, his soldiers in order to protect their farmland, and even proved to the Ross people will fight hard.However, they were not allowed to take the initiative to fight during this interception, and they deliberately made the appearance of flaring their teeth and dancing their claws, suddenly sprang from the forest, and appeared in front of the refugee team with weapons.Tori and Uskey had anticipated this situation for a long time. They held their hands high and kept drawing, shouting: "We are not enemies! We support Rose!""You support Rose?" Medvedt took off the special iron helmet that Rose has, and stepped forward aggressively, while his warriors were still on guard with spears and crossbows.Medvedt must be the owner of White Tree Manor, and both Usky and Tori knew him. Similarly, Medvedt also knew these two leaders."You are the cowherd and the angler! What are you doing here on earth!? You seem to be fleeing in a clan." Medvedt, who squinted to see clearly, warned."We want to see the leader of the Ross people, we have something important to pay back." Usky said eagerly.Medvedt hesitated: "See leader Rose? No, the leader won't see you."He must be cautious, after all, Otto had only escaped from the despicable assassination a few days ago, and he was very alert to people outside the White Tree Manor.Usky also saw that this was perfunctory, and he was sweating anxiously: "Medvet! Do you know what else Pine Needle Manor wants to do? They gathered everyone to attack your white tree, and they wanted to kill all of you. They want war. We just want to tell the Russians that Vadim, who killed the father, is about to kill with an army of 10,000 people!"The amount of information is very huge. After carefully tasting several important information, Medvedt extracted the most shocking news-war.He is not afraid of war, and is even willing to crusade against Pine Needle Manor. Besides, this year the Rus people are going to expedition to Karelia. The Rus Principality has assembled a huge battle force. Unexpectedly, at this point, Pine Needle Manor actually stabs.Medvete was still worried, and immediately ordered: "Let me believe you can. Take off your weapons and follow me."Usky and Tori looked at each other, and both agreed.The two also expressed that in order to show their sincerity, they would sacrifice their daughter to be the maid of the new leader of Rose.Maid? Isn't a maid the same as a wife?The two didn't know that it would be fine to tell anyone, but they couldn't tell Medvedt.But seeing Medvedt's forehead violent suddenly, his sister is the wife of Duke Rurik of Ross. The existence of her sister makes White Tree Manor enjoy huge benefits. Do the anglers and the cowherds also want to share a piece of the pie? He didn't care about other women, the daughter of a local nobleman in Novgorod had no right to compete with his sister.Wait a minute, maybe it can be like this...Medvet had an idea: "Then give your daughter to me! I am the captain of the Duke of Ross, and a person who is highly regarded by the Duke of Ross. I can give you a few words to meet my requirements."The two looked at each other again, and it was obvious that this Medvedt had to be satisfied before the refugee team could really get the asylum of the Ross people.Because Ross is the master of this lake area, and Vadim is just a violent father-slayer, a young villain.The two immediately offered the women they had prepared. In fact, the two girls were not their daughters either.Medvedt had no intention of discriminating, what he wanted was the sincerity of the other party, so he accepted the woman and announced that they would be the people of White Tree Manor in the future.A total of 900 refugees, all unarmed, arrived at the White Tree Manor under the surveillance of Medved's men.The real people of White Tree Manor are very repulsive of these outsiders. There is no clear hatred between the two parties. This is because the locals subconsciously worry that outsiders will eat their own interests.Otto was still very surprised by these refugees. Taking into account the concerns of the locals, he ordered the refugees to camp in the unowned woodland a little farther away.But their children have not been "arrested" for the time being, and they are placed in a barn controlled by the Rus, with a stable supply of food and water.Usky and Tori knew that the children had become hostages, and it was obvious that their strange encounters came from Vadim's stupid assassination.The two were rigorously searched and were able to enter the meeting room of the White Tree Manor under the supervision of many Ross fighters, and met the manor Ligus and the real owner, the old Duke Otto of Ross.Usky and Tori have seen Otto many times, but Otto has always disdain to remember the names of some small characters, even though he has been to the two farms to collect tributes in kind.The two noticed that the aging nobleman was dressed in iron armor, and the iron armor shimmered in the light of the oil lamp.With such an armor, Vadim would have a ghost if he succeeded in assassination.Otto just put on the jersey deliberately, this is his habit, and it is very necessary now.The Ross people were too lazy to be polite, and the warriors on both sides of the seat gritted their teeth and ordered the audience to leave after they said their intentions!In a great panic, Tori and Uski began to stammer to explain what they knew.Vadim of Pine Needle Manor was not only the mastermind of the assassination, but also killed his father Borudne afterwards.Vadim chose to declare war on Rose, killing all opponents and their families, and leading the army to force other mansions to send troops.The Calf Manor and the Angler Manor knew that they were weak and were afraid of war. They didn't want to sacrifice their lives to Pine Needle Manor, let alone daring to be an enemy of Rose.Such important information does not shock Otto. As an old guy who has been on the battlefield, he has already guessed such a result."Vadim? I remember this kid who threatened to kill me back then. He really did it. Unfortunately, he was reckless and a complete bastard. He dared to kill his father and kill his people indiscriminately. Tell me , How many troops he has assembled."Usky was upset in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Vadim claims to have ten thousand people.""So much?" Otto was only slightly surprised.On the other hand, Rigus and Medvedt both opened their eyes wide because of their astonishment.The army in the Slavs concept is equivalent to all those who take up arms, but in the current concept of the Rus, the army is an armored team with a similar formation of a flag team.Of course Otto knows the situation of the Slavs. Their army is essentially a group of armed farmers, a mob! If you want to come to your son, Rurik, he won't even look at them.But they actually organized 10,000 people!The pragmatic Otto feels that this force value is indeed something, because the population of Novgorod area is huge, they can unite to burst out 10,000 armed farmers, but they do not know that there is a lot of water inside."There are so many of them, it is not my will to kill them. I have to keep these people and pay me taxes!"Otto said this deliberately, and Rigus hurriedly responded: "My lord, they dare to resist you but don't want to pay the tribute. Kill them! If we don't do this, the war will not end."To put it bluntly, Rigus coveted those fields. The enemy killed a large number of vacant fields. Now the White Tree Manor has absorbed the population of many other manors, and the total population is already quite large. Can it be quick to **** the ready-made mature fields for land reclamation? The mature farmland that has been developed is a hot asset in the region. Any farmer wants to expand his acres, and the men in the entire White Tree Manor are all eyeing them.The important information from the Calf Manor and the Angler Manor forced Otto, who was temporarily stretched, to be more cautious. Since they hoped to receive Rose's asylum and promise of peace in the future, it was not enough to wait for the victory to enjoy the fruits of victory.Otto finally ordered: "Your men are armed again and now accept my command. I will not let you attack them~www.novelhall.com~ but if they take the initiative to challenge, we must fight together."The two immediately supported Otto's wise governance.Tori tremblingly asked, "My lord, it seems that your army is not strong. If you want to defeat them, rely on this strength?"Otto laughed, Rigus and Medvedt both laughed, and the other soldiers present laughed madly.Otto explained slowly, Medvedt made a precise translation in Slavic: "When we were gathering our army to attack the Karelians in the north, Vadim, this fool, actually chose to rebel and war, and the army of Rurik Coming soon, Pine Needle Manor will no longer exist."Finally, Otto added another one: "If those mansions that are trapped can be abandoned, they will be forgiven, and if Vadim makes trouble, all men and women will be put to death!"Otto believed that his messenger had already approached Rurik and that the main army in Shilla Fort would move south first.But the reinforcements of Konuf and his sons are afraid that they will arrive tomorrow. As long as the reinforcements of Silla Fort arrive first, the defense forces of White Tree Manor can make Otto completely rest assured.
