No one dared to stop Arik's triumphant fleet!

The big ship was in a wedge-shaped array in front, defending the long ship troops at the rear, and when they passed the Bornholm waters, they all rushed to the north.

Just in the west, a large stretch of coastline faintly appears, and people who are extremely sensitive to sailing are curious about it.

At this time, Ragnar was staying on the current flagship Grey Squirrel, chatting and laughing with his comrade Arik.

No doubt the western coastline attracted his attention.

The cool north wind blew his beard and hair flying wildly. The wind on the bow and deck of the ship was very windy, and the ears were full of rumbling, so that he had to roar.

"Scandinavia over there?!" he roared.

"It's Gotland! A big island."

"Is it Gotland? The Gotland you killed?"

"Exactly!" Arik held on to the wooden railing with an extremely proud look. As long as he was given time, he would be able to talk to his Gotland wartime for three days and three nights.

Arik has said a lot, which aroused Ragnar's curiosity and even envy.

He understood the crazy armament of the Ross army. The Frankish cavalry became a sacrifice to Odin under the astonishing arrow shooting, but the melee combat ability of the Ross people should not be underestimated.

Ragnar joined the Russian army and was able to observe its weapons from zero distance, and even manipulate the torsion slingshot himself. He also noticed the two swords of Arik as a general and a bow made of iron. The swords of the Russ are not bent or deformed. They are very elastic. The only problem is that they may collapse, but they will never be rolled.

"As long as you are willing to come up with a pound of silver, you can order a good sword inlaid with gems. When you arrive at Rose, you will find the Blacksmith League and come up with the order and deposit, and there will be results within ten days." He described Arik's description. Keeping it in mind, I am full of yearning for Rose, but also full of interest in Gotland.

Because even if the Stonewall tribe was so downhearted, there were only 300 men who dared to fight, and they did not degenerate to the point where they needed to stand up for others. If the tribe is really cowardly, and they are really cowardly, they will not be angry and fight back against the running dogs of the Frankish kingdom and the Frankish kingdom itself.

Even the Duchy of Ross cannot become the overlord of the tribe.

However, it is no problem to call the Roths brothers.

"Now, do you already occupy this island?" Ragnar asked another soul on the deck.

Arik thought for a while, this matter is really difficult to answer: "Occupied, but not fully occupied. Some Swedes occupy Visby, and there seems to be no settlement in other areas of the island. Perhaps our fishermen will patronize here, The settlements have not been built."

Talking about this, Arik was a little bit ashamed. According to the plan of the Principality, Ross wanted to develop the fishing village of Slitomo, an island with an eastern coastline, as a stronghold. As a result, the matter was directly affected by subsequent developments. Nothing else, Gotland is far away from the Tombstone Island of Saaremaa and Åland, and the entire Gotland is at the forefront of Danish power. The Ross people are now vigorously developing on the island, economic It can’t be said to be much cheaper, and the military base may still be a burden.

Hearing this description, Ragnar couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, you don't want good things."

Arik shrugged helplessly: "At least I can't get it now."

"Oh? If you don't want it, how can I lead someone to take it?" Ragnar said with a face, clearly showing the desire in his heart.

"It's not okay, but..."

"How? Are we brothers? I'm in trouble. You help me. Wouldn't it be beautiful if we continue to fight together in the future?"

After all, Arik has no supreme power, and his current status is just the governor of Mstisk. According to his simple ideas, all the newly-appointed brothers moved to Mstisk, where they lived together. This way, going to war in the future will not only have more troops, but it will also be easier to coordinate.

But from Ragner's attitude, this group of dauntless Danes just want to develop freely, that is, they want to guard a fishing village and continue to live a happy life on the sea.

"So, you are serious. Do you want to finally settle down on Gotland?"

"What's wrong?"

"This matter still has to be decided by the prince."

"Your brother? You can't decide?" Ragnar was still surprised, and then said with a grim face: "Since Gotland is to the west, since it is a land of no owner, I will disembark now and take my brothers. Drift over. You can't stop me doing this. But we are still allies who have fought together."

"That won't work." Arik's attitude also changed drastically. His calm face revealed a fierce look and threatened: "Gotland is not a landless land. You remember, you are Danes! You killed Sweden. The old king, and the existing residents on the island, are the old department of the old king. Without our Prince Rose’s authorization, you rashly waited until you settled to start a war! You don’t want to leave now."

The nature of the matter can be so serious? Ragnar, who had become a bereaved dog, quickly relented and casually explained that he had no intention of offending, but he still had a disdain in his heart.

Ragnar doesn't want to cause disputes. What he really needs is a safe enough living space, the nearby area is safe enough, and adjacent to the sea, rich in marine products, and the ally of the Principality of Ross is needed as a backer.

He needs to be just to get an alliance with the young King Ross, but it is only an alliance.

The triumphal fleet successfully arrived at Tombstone Island, and their return immediately caused a sensation across the island.

Except for Chespuyut who took people to Sorgon, Britain, the returning ships were all rewarding!

At the dock, Old Gould welcomed his second son triumphantly. Now it seems that the second son, Blue Fox, is already the bravest of all children.

It is rare for the entire fleet to supply supplies on Tombstone Island. Under the watchful eyes of the islanders and merchants, a large group of men in dilapidated clothes disembarked from the ship.

A news spread instantly—the foreigners who landed on the island were all Danes!

Whether it is Ross or Sweden, ordinary people are highly wary of Danes unless they can prove that they are friendly.

Hearing that a group of Danes dragged their families to the island, all the towers of Tombstone Island’s fortress, torsion slingshots were aimed at the pier to guard them, and armed men spontaneously surrounded the group of uninvited guests, making the scene extremely embarrassing for a while.

Ragnar was scared out of PTSD by the war long ago, and when others tried to deter him, he led his troops to confront him. Until Arik came forward to mediate himself, the people of the entire Tombstone Island immediately held a meeting in Rosduma on the island, and the people with good looks unified their attitude: This group of Danes can start trade, but they are not allowed to hold all weapons including daggers.

What else can Ragnar do? He entered Rusdumar in the inner fort of the island alone under Arik's recommendation, and explained his situation to a kind of Russ and allied merchants who remained on high alert in this huge parliamentary court.

The misunderstanding has not been completely resolved, but things have become more complicated. The two parties hurriedly negotiated and negotiated. In the end, the Danes allowed to camp on the island next to Tombstone Island, where they could sell the spoils of the Frankish war.

At this moment, Ragnar fully understood what kind of existence the Rus’ Tombstone Island was. She is the base for the Russ to intimidate the southern waters, the hub port of North Baltic trade, and the place where Swedes, Russ and Finns live together. Everyone was unsurprisingly wary of Denmark. Ragnar was naturally in a bad mood, but the development of the situation quickly made him happy.

In business, as long as you can make money steadily, you can trade with anyone.

The greatest wealth possessed by Merlaren merchants is wheat, and the powerful Duchy of Ross recognizes wheat as a currency.

Ragnar is selling the surplus metalware he has looted. Based on the wealth he sold for the winter, the seized metal is actually being sold at a low price. This is the key to attracting merchants.

The two sides hit it off.

The entire fleet had to stay on Tombstone Island for many days, and Ragnar's part, which had been displaced for more than a few months, finally settled down temporarily. They fished for fish on the spot, propped up the pottery urn they carried and boiled salt on the spot.

The Danes seem to be plundering the resources of the Duchy of Ross? At present, their behavior is not excessive. Although the islanders regard it as uncomfortable, considering that they will leave soon, they simply bear it.

Ragnar just wanted to rest steadily for a few days, he didn't know how much the real Ross people enjoyed on Tombstone Island. Until his family was pulled back to Tombstone Island by Arik again.

As brothers who have cut people on the battlefield together, take a bath with soap, go to the sauna together, and then drink high-density spirits, low-grade kvass, and bite the baked wheat biscuits that are charred on the outside and tender inside. Everything is Very happy. After drinking, Arik spoke truthfully about the comradeship he had experienced on the battlefield. He was really a half-brother who used Ragnar as his half-brother.

A sloppy, sour, fishy man completely changed. Ragnar had never enjoyed it like this, and really fell in love with the life here.

He was eye-opening, and he was most willing to soak in a big wooden barrel after steaming in the sauna.

He enjoyed these things at the Gould’s Tombstone Island mansion. As a large businessman with a lot of wealth, he could not enjoy the ultimate enjoyment.

He enjoyed the bathing days with Arik and Blue Fox, but the female slaves provided by the big merchants were able to enjoy it. Afterwards, there was good news that the so-called ownership of female slaves had been handed over to him, without even paying the price.

why is that?

The witty Gould knew his fate soon. He himself had no hatred for the Danish Alliance. He was only angry with the past authorities for stupidly expelling foreign merchants. Since this group of down-and-out Danes are going to ally with Prince Ross, Arik is his guarantee, and his second son fights alongside him. So for the family's business activities, to win over this young and downright Danish lord now will help the family continue to capture business interests in Denmark in the future.

The comfortable days of a few days were like dreams, Ragnar even fell in love with the island, dreaming that the good days could last.

But this place is just a small island after all. In Arik’s description, Fort Shilla is a big city in the east, and Novgorod in the east is full of Russ.

On the island, Ragnar bought a small pot of honey, some dried raspberries, sweet snacks to please his two sons and his wife, and he also brought his new female slave with him. His family needed one. Helper, the problem has now been resolved. The whole tribe still has a big problem-the absolute lack of women.

It was all because of the war that the Stonewall tribe lost a large number of women and children. The men did not protect their wives and children. The subsequent revenge against Frank, especially the burning of Bremen, would be considered violent revenge, but the population is still absolutely insufficient.

He heard some rumors that the so-called Eastern Finland, that is, the territory of Jevlo, where women are very cheap. The Yevlochi people were stationed on the side of Tombstone Island. After communicating with him, Yevlo put forward the conditions straightforwardly: "It’s not impossible for you to get our women. You have to give them money. Parents, you must swear to treat them kindly. They may not be true wives, but they must not be slaves. If I learn about bad conditions, I will avenge them."

The two parties quickly reached a deal, that is, Suomi's woman is married through normal channels, and "hiring money" is naturally indispensable. Why didn't Jeflo need a lot of supplies? When he personally started to manage the earl, the troubles were only realized. His power comes from the imperial appointment of Prince Rose, can be fully recognized by the Suomi people, but also lies in his personal Suomi blood, and gave birth to a son with the daughter of the alliance leader.

There is a saying that you can’t hang yourself on a tree. A vote of downfall Danes who are drawn to Ragnar through an out-of-law marriage can make a fortune. It is impossible for these children not to have feelings for Finland.

To marry a young Finnish woman, you must come up with a pound of silver coins, one less is not enough!

Jeflo set the conditions very deadly.

Although this price is a bit extreme, Ragna easily gritted his teeth and recognized it. As for when to start the transaction, at least not now.

The mixed fleet continues to the east, and the real big city and the nominal capital of a country are all in sight!

Ivar, who is holding his elder son’s soft legs by Ragner, his wife holding his one-year-old second son Bjorn, and the newly recruited female slave behind him who don’t know whether it’s laughing or crying, are all facing a continuous new The walls of Roseburg sighed.

There are a large number of small boats parked near Kotlin Island, and there are obviously sand-and-rock ships that have drifted near the fleet. The crew looked at the fleet first, and then glanced at the city again.

Since entering the Gulf of Finland, the fleet has always encountered ships passing by, some transporting wood, some stones and sand, and some materials are wrapped in cloth. Standard cargo ships travel faster than the fleet.

When the fleet arrived at the pier, the Shilla Fort had noticed the flag flying on the mast as early as when it rushed into Kotlin Island.

Upon learning of the situation, Governor Conuson immediately concluded that this was the triumph of the crusade troops sent by the Prince.

The big ships docked one after another, just like what happened on Tombstone Island. A large number of Danes just spent money to buy new clothes on Tombstone Island. Their hairstyles and clothing habits are obviously different from those of the Rus, which once again aroused vigilance.

The Danes were forced to stay at the pier again waiting for permission to enter the city, while Ragnar walked towards the elderly governor with open arms.

The two sides embraced and saluted, and the laughter turned into nervousness in an instant.

The governor was highly alert and asked: "When you went there were five hundred people. In my opinion, your manpower became a thousand people? Those men are not our clan at all. Where did they come from."

"It's a Danish."

"Huh?!" The governor was shocked and took three steps back.

"What's so scary?"

"You! Good boy! Arik...you brought back a group of Danish men?"

"Haha! It's me."

"The answer is light, did the prince agree?"

Arik shrugged: "I know what everyone is afraid of. Don't worry, I won't let them go into the city, and the weapons will be temporarily taken care of by us. Uncle Cornuson, these are a group of down-and-out Danes, but they attacked with me. Frank. We have made a huge profit in this battle, and I am very worried that our princes will roll happily."

The words were quite humorous, and the awkward and nervous atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

Konu Pinewood said with a face: "It's good if you know. Since you have your guarantee, you are a major responsibility if something happens."

"Where is the prince now. Fort Shilla is the capital, so he should be here."

"Not here. The prince is in Novgorod. Depending on the situation, the prince will spend the winter there again."

Hearing this situation, Arik, who was eager to report his brilliant victory to his younger brother, Rurik, was really sorry. Even so, a large amount of supplies had to be unloaded quickly. After all, I had an appointment with my younger brother, and the seized materials are of course divided between five and five. The wool and wheat belonging to the prince’s angelica as the national money must be placed in the warehouse in Shilla Fort~www.novelhall.com~ without it, Novge Lord's warehouse must be full because of the wheat harvest, and the only remaining large granary is the granary area of ​​Shilla Fort, unless a new one is built.

Since unloading is involved, a large number of urban laborers gathered in the port, and men and women lined up to sign up as porters, just to get a generous payment.

In this way, the family has been ordered to first move to the right bank of the Neva River, which is camped in the wasteland of the Rabbit Island Fortress opposite the Winter Palace across the Neva River. Men and women all admired this huge The city and the pier are busy.

The strength of Ross can be explained by the prosperity and solidity of this city, but unfortunately everyone is still not allowed to enter the city.

Ragnar understands all of this. Although the brothers and Arik's subordinates fought side by side to reach mutual trust with each other, the huge population of the Principality of Ross obeyed the prince of Ross. Everyone's Danish identity can be described as the source of rejection. Everyone must be exempted by Prince Ross and even sign an alliance treaty. According to Ragnar’s wishes, if the Stonewall tribe were the best mercenaries in the Duchy of Ross, it is said that many of the prince’s own guards were Danes. How could they not do it themselves?

He is looking forward to a perfect meeting.
