Chapter 15： Organizational discipline

Only seven years old, Rurik has a playmate beside him.

Kanuf, he was easily subdued by the leader's son, and he was immobilized on the gravel beach by the sea. He was not angry at all, but rather willing to be the younger brother of Rurik.

After experiencing the fight, Rurik knew that he had acquired a "subordinate", but at best he was the king of children.

The young Rurik was rumored to have brought the capture and ambush technique from Valhalla. The technique is very physical and the effect is really good.

On the night when the incident ended, Rurik had no choice but to follow his father Otto’s request to demonstrate to Otto the trapping skills he knew, using his cousin Arik as his collaborator.

They are all smart people living in the north.

They are professional farmers and fishermen themselves, but they don’t have many materials harvested in peaceful time, so robbing houses has naturally become a means for them to make a living. A long boat often has twenty or thirty people sitting on it. In the long-term paddling and voyage, everyone has formed a strong friendship, and naturally formed a combative organizational force.

They always act together, and their organizational discipline is naturally better than other people of the same age.

They always avoid casualties in battle, especially the Ross tribe with a smaller number. The loss of any strong warrior is a pity.

If Otto is a treasure, he marvels at his son's performance and decides to reproduce it the first time.

Since he had this child, his many surprises have made him more sure that the "Valhalla gods" not only exist, but they also prefer the Ross tribe in the north.

In an instant, news about the "Valhalla Capture Secret Art" quickly spread to the entire tribe. Otto's appeal in the tribe increased a lot, and Rurik also gained many fans. After all, they simply believed in this.

Lurik just got a good playmate Kanuf at the beginning, but soon, more children of the same age are willing to find play.

Of course there are many children who disdain to play with a seven-year-old child.

Those older children have their own "games", so-called games are more violent.

In the Ross tribe, holding wooden shields and sticks for competitions is an important entertainment for children. All children are taught by adults, and the bravest can enter Valhalla after death. They are being educated in this atmosphere, and they have been instilled with warrior culture since they were still young.

Because of this, they are very keen to fight, and it is common for them to beat each other badly.

They are worthy of being Nordic people who are born with stronger physiques. Today, their faces are full of blood. After two or three days of cultivation, they can continue to scream.

The children of the tribe spend almost all their time in fighting. To learn cultural knowledge? Most people don't even think about it!

I am afraid that among the nearly five hundred boys in the tribe, the only one who thinks knowledge is very important is Rurik.

Just as Otto was about to start the early stage of the Sorgon voyage this fall, ten men of the same age gathered around Rurik.

These children are the children of Otto's faithful subordinates. They think it is very wise to hand over their youngest son to the "Odin Blesser". Maybe the Rurik can give the children many more advanced things.

If the oracle is true, Rurik will eventually become the leader of the tribe when he grows up, so letting his children become Rurik’s subordinates from now on will be of great benefit to the future of his family.

Perhaps at the beginning, Rurik was not used to having a group of fans instantly appearing under his command. Since they all admire themselves very much and are willing to do a lot for themselves, how to teach them is his current important job.

It was another cool but sunny morning, and the entire Ross tribe was making key preparations for the Sorgon sailing in the fall.

Long-headed boats were pushed onto the beach, and the professional craftsmen of the tribe began to repair the boats, which also squeezed the children's play space.

Children who are shrouded in boredom, their greatest pleasure is fighting.

Lurik was surrounded by ten children, so he had to run to the area close to the mountain and continue to play fighting games.

The thatch in autumn is yellowing, and the children wearing thick leather and cotton-padded clothes follow their "leader" Rurik idly.

A bare mountain platform with only a few trees, this place was temporarily selected as a training base by Rurik.

The north from the Arctic whizzes across the mountains, and the air naturally has a sense of killing.

Looking at the eager eyes of a group of children, Rurik knew that these guys just wanted to learn some advanced fighting skills.

"Okay! Just like I asked before, you stand in a row! Remember, you must stand neatly."

With an order, the children really stood up and lined up in a row.

Suddenly, Kanuf asked with a smile: "Chief, what do you teach us today?"

"Of course it is a fighting technique. Since you can all trust me, you will naturally follow my orders."

"Yes! I am your loyal deputy!" The words came out of Kanuf's mouth. He had a high self-esteem here, because he was obviously the first person to follow Rurik.

Liurik shook the wooden sword and nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, today we are going to train the group fighting method. Remember, all of us are a whole, we are all brothers!"

It may be human instinct for children to get together and play together. Rurik's phrase "We are all brothers" today moved everyone.

It’s really an honor to be brothers with the leader’s son.

Seeing everyone's happy expressions, Rurik continued: "In the future, we are indeed brothers. We will fight against any enemy we encounter as a whole! That's why I made you line up. Now! Immediately! Preparing to fight!"

Leurik has given these children a posture, that is, bow slightly, the left arm wooden shield blocking most of the torso, and even only a pair of eyes looking forward through the shield. The wooden sword on the right arm was lightly pressed against the shield, keeping a spur shape at all times. Even children understand that their sharp sword stabs, as long as the stab is accurate, they can succeed in one move.

What kind of posture is this? The Romans thousands of years ago, their ordinary soldiers used this posture to meet the enemy, and then stabbed the enemy with a short sword, and faced the barbarians on foot.

was obviously a very effective tactic, but the Germanic tribes that destroyed Rome were not inherited. The continued East Rome prefers heavy cavalry.

For several years, Rurik has been observing everything about the Ross tribe with his big blue eyes. He is a man after all, and he is instinctively interested in fighting and other things.

Lurik did not know how the Western Europeans participated in the war in the ninth century. With the understanding in his mind, he felt that it was the lord leading a group of farmers in tattered clothes who participated in the battle with a small amount of care. UU reading what they do is basically a group of weapon fights that lack organization and discipline. Both sides of the weapon fight use this kind of routine, which can be described as a rookie.

The Ross tribe and other Viking tribes are obviously more organized, and of course they are relatively high.

The warriors of the 　　 tribe are very strong and equipped with better equipment. Obviously because of the belief in the Valhalla gods such as Odin and Nursery, the so-called death in battle is the best way to become heroic spirits. They are more selfless in any fight.

The leader gave an order, and all the well-equipped warriors screamed and rushed up. They didn't know the fear, and even wanted to die in battle.

This unique and deformed concept has made them even better in combat.

In the final analysis, they are more inclined to fight alone. Even though Otto knew very well that the tribe could not bear the loss of a large number of warriors, so he was willing to strengthen his personal protection to reduce the possibility of injuries in fighting, thereby reducing casualties. But after all, Otto did not expect to organize all the warriors through a certain method to face the enemy with strong organizational discipline.

The stragglers are truly organized as a whole. In Europe, where civilization was extremely dark and culturally regressed in the ninth century, it has obvious advantages to restore the classic Greek and Roman tactics.

After all, Rurik found that the Greco-Romans and the Rus tribe had a military similarity.

That is, they are all good at handling ships that suddenly appear in the sea, and any attacks and fights often occur not far from the coast or rivers.

So the change starts with oneself, starting with ten seven-year-olds under his command, and training them from the source into a highly organized tactical cluster.

First organize a Roman-style centurion team! And he, first served as a centurion.
