Chapter 469： Arik's new woman

"The Rise of Rurik (

Harald lightly took off his hat and boldly expressed his intentions: "I...I came to beg for peace."

Otto nodded. Of course the other party sent someone for this purpose, which is not surprising at all. What matters is what conditions the opponent wants to make.

He first asked: "Are you a messenger? Who are you, and what weight do you speak?"

"I...I'm Harald of the Hrolev family. I...just a businessman."

"Businessman?" Otto pointed to the tent curtain and deliberately said: "There is a head at the door, that is your king. King Gotland is dead, where is your new king? Let that guy come over, so I I can still consider your surrender."

Harald was a little flustered, and he was also ecstatic in his heart. The priests in charge of the altar hope that Harald will become the new king and make peace with the Rus. There is no benefit in being the king at the moment of crisis. The only role is to become a victim.

Harald once again emphasized: "I'm just a businessman."

"Businessman? Not necessarily!" Otto twisted his neck, he was already a little impatient. The people sitting on the left and right at the same time, including Rurik, felt that things were too weird.

"You tell the truth!" Rurik said suddenly, "I can restrain the soldiers. Tell the truth, no one will harm you."

Harald rolled his eyes lightly. A young beautiful boy? Does this person speak with great weight?

Just as Harald was due, Otto yelled again: "Quickly! Who are you? Or Visby, what is the attitude of your new king?"

"Yes! We..." Harald knew that there was no need to retain information, and it must have been that Visby was no different from the ruins. "I am indeed a businessman, including the King Harald who was killed by you, and I am also a businessman."

"Where is your new king?"

"There is no new king anymore! We only have more than a dozen large merchants. Some were killed by you on the battlefield, and some were forced to row away yesterday, and were all sunk and killed by your fleet. The people of Visby wanted to **** it. The property was killing each other, and the streets were full of corpses, just like... the battlefield I was passing by."

There is still such a thing? !

Rurik couldn't believe what he heard. If it was true, then the enemy actually killed each other under high pressure and terror?

"Is it? Visby is now an empty city? You haven't even elected a king." Rurik asked, poking his head.

"Everything is over!" As he said, Harald pointed to the south: "Some people go there, they will surely die of starvation and thirst in the woods. The priests also fled, and they are going to take refuge in the Temple of Odin. There are only a handful of people in Visby who insist. They are old people and young children."

Rurik had already heard a seven-seven-eight: "So you mean, you are the last powerful man in Visby?"

"Probably... so it is."

"Oh? Are you the new king?"

"No! I am not a king, I have never thought of it like this, I am just a businessman." Harald hurriedly denied, as if claiming to be a king would be a terrible crime.

Otto was furious, and he asked: "A businessman? What are you here for? Are you begging for peace? For whom?"

"It's my family."

"Really? I thought you were going to beg other people for peace, but I didn't expect you to only care about yourself?"

Hearing this, it seems that Rose's old leader is very dissatisfied with his rhetoric? However, this is the end of the matter, and Harald has no intention of changing his mind.

"Why should I care about other people? I am a businessman and not a warrior. I have a lot of money. I hand them over, just want to buy a peace."

Having said that, Harald immediately ordered his entourage to push the box in front of him, and he personally opened the box to reveal the silver coins.

"This is a hundred pounds of silver coins."

Otto squinted his eyes. "Do you think that only this money can buy your peace? Our Ross army killed thousands of you. Our losses are minimal. We still have an army of 3,000 people. Can easily occupy Visby, all wealth is mine."

Harald had an idea, and hurriedly flattered: "This is just a meeting ceremony, which only represents my sincerity to surrender. My family will be very useful to you. You enter Visby, you must not know where the merchants hid the money, these I basically know that. You will get the entire Visby fortune in a very short time. Also, the great Lord Ross, please take a look at this woman."

Things have finally reached the most critical step.

"This is my daughter, Aslaqi. Her beauty is like a fairy from Asgard. I will dedicate her to you and be your woman."

Otto stunned suddenly, his eyes erratic and looked around. Yes, everyone's eyes are fixed on that beauty's face and figure.

"Be my woman? Haha, I'm too old." Otto waved his hand and shook his head again, completely refusing.

Harald was a little flustered: "Then, dedicated to your son, I am also willing. My daughter has always been eager to marry a real warrior. She is sixteen years old. In the past four years I have rejected all merchants. The proposal of marriage is just to wait for a real fighter. The Ross people are the real fighters!"

Such flattering words made the elites of the Russ army feel happy, and most of them knew that behind the words was only the security that this person longed for.

Otto was so happy that he motioned to his son Rurik: "Son, this woman is your wife..."

Like a steel needle in the back, Rurik buzzed his head and hurriedly stood up: "No! This is ridiculous. She is obviously much older than me."

"Oh? It's just for this reason? You haven't reached twelve, and Odin doesn't want you to marry right away in violation of the rules." Otto looked at Harald's trembling eyes again with arrogance: "Forgot to introduce, this It is my only son, Rurik, who is the commander of our army. Don't think he is just a child. He commanded the battle the day before and quickly defeated your Gotland army."

Aslaqi had given up her heart a long time ago. She can marry anyone now, as long as she can get family peace through this marriage. Unexpectedly, the leader of Rose and his son refused one after another. Not only was she unexpected, but now she had to accept that the Gotland army was defeated by a beautiful boy.

In fact, Rurik also suffocated his energy. He had learned the name of the woman, and he almost laughed.

She is indeed from Gotland, shouldn't she be the wife of the Danish Ragnar? This woman was confirmed to be a real woman because she was recorded by the Frankish historian.

Rurik believed for the time being that the rumored beauty Asraki was the woman in front of him. Don't say it! It's fair to say that she is only sixteen years old and has the figure of an adult, as well as the immature features of a child. Her brows are deep and her chin is a relatively rare taper, which shows that the food she eats in the past must be soft and soft, and she is indeed a pampered fairy.

After hearing a report from Harald, from the bottom of his heart, Rioto had no intention of violating the family.

"Aslaki! Your name is Aslaki? Look up at me now." Otto ordered.

The girl slowly raised her head, sucked her nose vigorously, and tried to put on a calm face.

"Do you long to marry a warrior? Answer me!"

"Yes! My only condition is that through my marriage, the Ross people reward my family with safety."

"Yes, a woman of love." Otto has always noticed that his eldest nephew Arik sees the beautiful woman's poking head, and now he has made up his mind: "In this case, I will promise you to my nephew Arik. . He is a true warrior. More than three hundred people died in his wounded Gotland warriors! He was favored by Odin, although he was wounded and never got sick. He has also been to the unknown and far away in the south. Dongfang. How about? Such a warrior can be your husband."

Otto originally thought that Asraki would be very happy, he really did not expect that when he heard Arik's name, he was completely thunderous to the girl.

Even Harald's mouth was trembling, and he didn't expect "Butcher Arik" to be sitting not far away.

"How? What are you in a daze? What are you afraid of?" Otto snapped, and immediately ordered Arik, who was eager to try and is now ecstatic: "Go! Take your woman now."

"Good!" Arik answered.

Although there is also Peravina with a baby in the family, her regular wife is not fake, but tradition also stipulates that a good man can marry multiple wives and raise a large number of female slaves.

Arik, who has controlled a lot of money and made great contributions in the war, is eager to conquer the enemies of Gotland most thoroughly. Wouldn’t it be good to take this most beautiful woman in Gotland as your own?

He grabbed Aslaqi's elbow, unexpectedly the girl was fighting, not to mention that the fighting strength was much stronger than Peravina.

Relying on the warrior's intuition, Arik dared to judge that this woman was definitely not as weak as she seemed! She is definitely a female warrior, only because of the peculiarities of the **** of her right hand was discovered by Arik.

Both the Corvin and Finn archers wore the fingers made of deer bones and used the fingers to hook the strings.

Ross bow hunters and archers from other tribes almost all hooked their index and middle fingers.

Aslaqi's **** were unexpectedly thicker.

"You get me up!" Arik pulled her up neatly.

Otto was a bit displeased: "Astraki, a woman in Gotland, isn't my Arik worthy of you? You don't have the right to bargain here! Be honest! I warn you, I don't care if you are Ah Fairy of Sgard, but Odin does stand in the position of our Ross people. You can refuse, and soon you and your father, and everyone in your family, all your heads are stuck on the wood."

Harald also looked anxiously. Although he didn't like the brutality of "Butcher Arik" very much, the so-called "butchers" looked very heroic, at least much better than those full-faced merchants. .

"Athraqi, don't refuse! He is your man. For our family, you must..."

For a moment, she obeyed her father's instructions and gave up the resistance, hooking her head and letting Arik take herself away. Immediately afterwards, Asraki actually sat beside Arik and became a member of many of the elite forces of the Rus army.

Although there was a situation, Otto consciously finished the work well, and his attitude became kind again: "We Ross people are reasonable. If you give half of your family wealth, and then give your daughter, I will allow your surrender. It will also protect your family’s safety. Don’t be Gotlanders in the future, just be ours. Your family will serve my family and my Rurik.”

Is this a security statement? It seems so.

For Visby, Harald has no nostalgia. The Ross people have become a power. Looking at the courage of the Ross leader, Harald doesn't think that this person and the entire Ross tribe will be surrendered to the Melalen people.

Of course, making money as a merchant family is the most important thing, although the daughter was given to the infamous Arik, in exchange for the safety of the family and hope for the future, the daughter's sacrifice is worth it. It is for her that she is really guilty of being a father.

Harald and Asraki, both father and daughter, have listened to the bad rumors, and the facts are true. Arik is a strange man who has a vengeful heart and even cuts the poultry raised by the enemy. . But this never meant that he would be cruel to his own woman.

He is a cold-blooded and reckless man, it is only for the enemy. Now he is in control of what is said to be the most beautiful woman in Gotland. He just wants to finish the wedding ceremony as soon as possible, preferably tonight.

Harald brought exciting information, and Rurik decided to believe that this man, that Visby had become an empty city of erosion.

The military commander-in-chief Ruriek immediately made a decision. The army stopped any repairs. After lunch at noon, the whole army rushed to Visby, and the dinner was eaten in the city The seemingly loose Ross army began. Assembled, they quickly bury the last bones of the brothers who died in battle, but seized the time to gnaw off the dried fish.

The vast number of soldiers began to growl uncontrollably when they thought that there were still a lot of cattle, sheep, gold and silver, and even stocked wheat in Visby.

The Ross army began to regroup. Although the two Warriors and Flag teams had reduced their staff a lot, the teams that lined up in a matrix were still heroic.

The flag teams lined up, and the flag bearers carried the flags of the flag team and began to march forward in neat steps.

Especially for the Slavic flag team, the 800 spears are like walking in the woods. Their neat pace gave Harald and his entourage a huge shock.

A large number of reindeer packs are pulling carts full of goods, and some people are pushing and pulling two-wheeled trolleys loaded with some heavy equipment.

Harald rubbed his eyes vigorously, and he saw a group of girls and boys. These very young warriors were also lined up in a very neat line. They either carried a bow or a bow parallel to the wood. Follow the front team closely.

It seems that the Russ have also mobilized all the power of their tribe, even if the leader of Rus was trained by the children as fighters, the Russ have been preparing for this decisive battle for many years!

And this was only the power of the Ross people, and Harald looked at all this with his eyes straight.

Look, it's just such a neatly organized army that has stepped across the battlefield full of gray and white dead bodies. They have almost no loss, and there are as many as nine hundred Danish mercenaries lying on the battlefield.

"The Ross people are so tough. If the Danish army comes for reinforcements, the Danes will fail in the end!" Harald has not dared to think about it anymore, but hurried on the road with his head hooked. He is eager to leave this terrible battlefield. .

As for the future of the family, it all depends on the success of the Ross people.
