Chapter 643： To attack the 60-year-old soldier

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

Otto's guys have big beards, they all look like old men, and many of them still have a strong fighting capacity.

Their image awes the people of White Tree Manor, and it also makes the people of other manors fear.

The old guys are different now. They all carry steel swords and are equipped with some crossbows. Many people wear chain mail, and some even spend money to hang iron pieces on the ring, called iron scales.

Otto is such a person who is defensive to extremes. He wore a scale armor changed from a chain armor. For the current Otto, its decorative value actually surpassed the battle and became a symbol of merit.

He is dressed in bear fur and heavy metal scales. His gray beard is fluttering in the wind. He holds a patterned steel sword in the mud in both hands. He is really an experienced veteran soldier.

Even, like a **** of war, even if he is old.

Even if Otto is old, he has brought people here twice a year for more than 20 years. In recent years, his actions in the Novgorod area have become more and more outrageous, making the locals even more fearful!

Ordinary farmers don't know the situation here, they only know that the Varangros people are stronger, and the tribute they are asking for, that is, the burden on their shoulders has changed from pebbles to boulders.

They have always shown strong tolerance. Borudne and other native nobles can hardly detect this. Only Vadim realized that this might be a powerful force.

Vadim and his guys were busy sharpening their knives, and he quickly worked out a plan to lick blood.

More than sixty people gathered in a claustrophobic wooden house sheltered by a forest. The young boys carried daggers, axes, and even sharpened wooden blades.

Vadim furrowed his brows, and in full view he drew his dagger and slammed it on the wooden floor. The dull voice shocked everyone and made the depressed atmosphere even more suffocating.

"Brothers, I have already figured it out. This is a desperate job. Since you all recognize me as the eldest brother, do as I said."

The young people looked at each other. They were all close friends, but when it came to life, it was impossible to be fearless.

Someone held their heads up and said, "Go ahead. My house was burned by them, my father was killed by them, and my sister was also taken away by them. My life is bad. If I can kill a Ross man, even if I succeed in revenge. ."

Someone started, others responded one after another.

Vadim is still full of anger, but the brother in front of him can say anything cruel now, even if he really has the courage to face the Ross people?

"Now let me arrange. My father will receive the Ross people at my mansion, and the old and immortal Otto will definitely come. Don't worry, my father's private soldiers recognize me as the young master, and they all listen to me. I plan them During the discussion, we rushed to assassinate Otto! Kill the Ross people in front of us at any cost! After we succeed, we will destroy their ships. Then we can publicly declare that the children of Lake Ilmen will never be slaves. !"

It seems that as long as Vadim's arrangement is followed, the Ross people this year are thinking fools, and everything seems to be going well.

Vadim looked at his fellows again, he noticed the trembling in some people's eyes, and knew that it was a sign of cowardice.

"I think there are still cowards among you. You have never killed anyone, not even a sheep. I will not force you, but the coward is not my brother, get out now! The coward is not worthy to work hard with me!"

His words were very harsh, and he acted like a terrible Varang, and everyone in the wooden house was shocked to the point that no one fled after all.

Vadim felt that his actions were brave, for the sake of the entire Novgorod people.

However, the actions of up to a hundred young people should be limited, unless more farmers are called on.

As for how to convene the farmers, Vadim believes that this can only be done by himself.

He continued to make arrangements: "After you go back, contact your friends and try to convince the farmers and fishermen to take up weapons, even if they take up sticks. Let them be prepared, and when we start to act, let them attack the Rus people’s boats. Organize the torches and burn the ship! Or take their ship!"

This is obviously more exciting than the assassination of Otto!

Everyone looked at each other and whispered, and after exchanging opinions, they all felt that only by doing this could they defeat the Ross.

Vadim is more cautious: "I will do more than that. I will personally find those who are in debt and make them fight to pay off the debt. I will call them immediately and I will organize an army. When we retreat If you are a Russian, I am the prince of Novgorod. You are all my brothers, and it will be good for me to fight in the future."

Obviously young Vadim bet his success or failure on this battle.

He was kicked to the ground severely by Otto that year, and his eldest brother was a coward who died, and his father was begging for perfection. The sisters must have been taken away by the Rus as miserable slaves.

Over the past few years, he has been sharpening his knife silently, but as he grows up, his cutting-edge knives have been aimed at the White Tree Manor, which is not only a Roth but also a traitor.

And, Borudne, his appeased father.

Vadim will also take his place, and finally become king in Novgorod on Lake Ilmen!

He is indeed not a dreamer. After the small meeting, he brought his cronies to recruit death squads.

Everyone in Pine Needle Manor knew that Vadim would inherit the manor of the manor. This nobleman actually condescended to visit ordinary people and even debt serfs, and even saw him a long time ago!

He gathered a group of serfs who owed debts and declared decisively: "Your debts are forgiven! In exchange, take up arms and go with me to beat the Ross people."

At first they were afraid, and some people suspected that the young man had not taken the burden of his father, and his words were not enough to believe. Unexpectedly, Vadim is still raising his bargaining chips.

As long as he participated in the war, all his debts were forgiven, and he would be rewarded for killing a Ruthman, and the iron tools removed from the corpse were also personal.

This is still not finished. Vadim interprets all the burdens on ordinary people as Ruth's raids, and attributed poverty to Ruth's sin.

"They are afraid of us because there are so many people in our manor. They search for our wealth, hoping that we are all sick, making us unable to resist. My answer is! Fight! For your women and children, for wealth, and them Fight!"

Vadim deliberately preached the same thing around the poor. As a nobleman, he promised the people great benefits, which other nobles could not do.

When one armed man faces the Ross people or fears, a hundred armed men can gather together to cheer each other up and gain morale.

So, how about five hundred? Maybe it destroys all power like a flood.

No way, the ordinary life on the shore of Lake Ilmen severely restricted the pattern of this young warrior. He knew nothing about the true strength of the Ross people!

It is precisely this way that Vadim has the courage and firmly believes that he has a chance of victory.

Ros Otto and his Sorgon fleet will soon enter Lake Ilmenne, into the so-called urban area of ​​Novgorod, the core area of ​​the so-called Pine Needle Manor.

Vadim did not dare to gather the soldiers too aggressively. He was convinced that his actions were not noticed by his father, and of course his time was very limited.

But how is it possible? !

Borudne knew that his son was planning something. He actually hoped that Vadim would bring his brothers to overthrow the hegemony of the Rus when he grew up, but he felt that the time was not ripe, even if the time was not right.

He wished to believe that his son was just accumulating strength, and it was a few years later to rebel against the Ross people.

Borudne was busy preparing the tribute, hoping to get rid of the Ross people early.

He had no idea that Vadim had gathered more than a hundred people from the farm next door. There is no other reason, Vadim insists on going his own way, so as the existence of in-laws, everyone at the farm next door is in danger.

Since the battle is inevitable, I believe that Vadim can succeed, and the residents of the farm next door are tucked into Vadim's team.

After all, after defeating and eradicating the strength of the Ross people, it is self-evident who will get huge benefits when Vadim becomes queen.

Nominally he has a thousand armed men, but these guys seem to be able to fight the wind.

The key to victory is my assassination. Vadim and all the eighty young warriors he assembled with great effort are ready.

Even if they don't look like warriors, they are as simple as wearing simple weapons. But it's just the appearance of a foolish man that is the most confusing.

On the other hand, Otto stayed in the White Tree Manor for three days to regenerate energy. This time he took two hundred brothers to continue sailing on the Volkhov River. In front of the Ilmen Great Lake, it was the pine needle that was the focus of the tribute. manor.

This group of old guys were not very old a few years ago. Otto brought so many people on this trip. He also felt that it was just a tax collection. Pine Needle Manor was a group of idiots, standing on the shore with his brothers, watching People who reach them will be scared to diapers.

The old guys are generally in their fifties, and some people are still included in the second flag team because of their strength.

Rurik felt that the "Sunset Red" of the Second Flag team could no longer fight for a few more years. They should all settle down and do things within their power, such as teaching young children some fighting skills and life experience, and doing something. Low-strength work gives Rose the waste heat.

Even if they are pensioners, Lurik prides themselves that they have sufficient financial resources to ensure their daily meals.

But they are warriors. Real warriors can't stand charity. Many people always grow stronger and die on the battlefield.

This group of their old friends came with the big ship aggressively. When the five large sailing ships headed by Spellosville suddenly appeared on the big lake, the Slavs’ canoes all retreated.

Many women took their children to evade, and some daring cow-grazing babies stood on the near shore full of reeds, watching dumbly the arrival of the Ross people's big boat.

Hearing the arrival of the Ross people, Borudne hurriedly recruited his cronies and hosted a banquet in his house to entertain Otto.

At the same time, he also sent people to rule the ordinary people. In order to avoid the Ruths suddenly raging and causing casualties, men, women, children, and children can quickly escape into the forest with their softness.

Rose's big ship deliberately chose a slightly steep place to anchor on the lakeshore, and a group of shaggy old guys disembarked with shields and swords.

Many people set up small camps on the shore guarding big ships. There are more than one hundred of these people. Their next task is to pick up the carts of Pine Needle Manor and transport the tribute to the ship.

Otto was in a good mood, and he took more than fifty people to Borudne's mansion in full gear.

Because I heard some news from the White Tree Manor, Borudne despised the White Tree Manor, and his pet dog was despised. Can a dog owner bear it?

Otto and his guys walked into the empty village and heard sporadic dog barking and chicken cooing in their ears.

It's quiet here, obviously the name of the village just escaped.

The Ross people have long been surprised that they are not expensive, because a few years ago they demolished a lot of their houses because of madness, and the villagers went to the woods to hide in the following years to collect the tribute.

There is nothing to say with the ordinary Otto, his goal is Borudne.

No, Borudne, dressed in fur, has already taken his people and waited respectfully.

Otto stepped arrogantly, as if only his beard was white and his whole body was still strong.

"Are all the tributes ready?" he yelled very bluntly in Slavic.

"It's done. Your lord, please come in and talk."

Borudne looked submissive, and the armed entourage around him followed the face of fear and iron as constipation for many days.

Otto didn't think much, and strode closer to the wooden fence with his guys. In the end, after entering other people's territory, the veteran soldiers unloaded their shields one after another. This was the instinct of the soldiers, and they all took a certain amount of guard.

Otto entered the house, and Borudne immediately offered a young woman to serve.

But Otto had long been not close to being a woman, pinched Miki by the neck and threw it to Borudne.

"Your wife is dead, and now you have a new love. You'd better play by yourself! I want tribute, I don't have time to stay here."

Upon hearing this, Borudne rejoiced, at least for so many years the old Otto has always done what he said. He was very happy that the old Otto took the tribute again this year, patted his clothes and left. The plague **** may easily invite him away.

However, just as Borudne announced that he would go to the warehouse to lift the prepared tribute immediately, Vadim, who was already ready, started!

Because armed men were hidden in those seemingly empty houses, Vadim and his death squad let off Otto's team, seeing that the number of them was small, and they immediately gained confidence.

There was also a group of armed men gathered in the village. One part of them assisted Vadim, the other part was hidden in the woods near the Rus ship berth. After Vadim took action, they would try to seize the ship.

"Guys, the old immortal has already gone in. Follow me, let's go in through the back door!"

Vadim took his brothers to covertly move, and they were ensnared by guards at the back door of their house. After all, he is the next manor owner, and the guard can only accept his fate.

No one can stop Vadim's action, and the guards suddenly appeared in Nevadim's 100 death squads.

More than a dozen young men with daggers and axes suddenly rushed into the hall, and indiscriminately rushed to the Ross people who were sitting in arms.

Everything was sudden. The unprotected necks of some veterans were suddenly stabbed with a dagger, blood gushing, and the scene was instantly terrifying.

Vadim, as the messenger of everything, rushed to the front, and when he saw Otto's old face, he rushed over with his short sword in both hands.

"Go to hell! Old fellow!"

His iron sword hit Otto's side ribs, just as Otto realized that it was too late.

The dagger hit Otto, but it was a deflection, which caused Vadim to fall to the side.

Vadim had no idea that the old immortal still had an iron armor? He fell to the ground, holding a somewhat bent sword in his hand, intending to continue fighting.

Otto had already reacted, the scabbard directly blocked Vadim's criticism, took up his heavy boots, and kicked Vadim again after five years, and his head was also buzzing.

The whole hall was in a mess, and Borudne's brain was blank and yelled.

The young men who fought were also screaming and fighting with the Ruths, and the entire mansion was also surrounded by armed men.

At the beginning, debt serfs rushed to the veteran Ross veterans waiting for their orders. As for the fighters, their courage is worth admiring.

After all, it is a veteran of the Second Banner. The veteran Ross veteran who suffered a sneak attack is best at killing and fighting in his life.

There were soldiers who died in a sneak attack, and the cramped houses made the battle impossible, and the Rus fell into a passive position.

Otto was carried away from the dangerous room by his brothers, and he cursed: "Borudne! You are seeking your own death!"

Are you looking for a dead end? of course.

There are the bodies of the Ross people in the hall, as well as the convulsive bodies of many young people.

Vadim threw the bent iron sword and picked up the steel sword of the slain Ruth. His mind cleared up a little bit and threw himself into the fight, so he didn't care about his old face like a corpse, and continued to scream and kill the red-faced guys.

But in the courtyard, forty Ruths protected Otto in the circular shield wall.

What is this crisis? Even if surrounded by five hundred people, Otto still had the means to get out.

"Brothers, kill any approachers! We retreat to the ship!"

The Slav warriors approaching the shield wall were always mercilessly assassinated, and the swords of the veteran Ross warriors were dripping blood.

However, there are also guys who are not afraid of death. Even if their body is pierced by a sword, they still hold a Ruth and pull out the shield wall. With this sacrifice, the limit is exchanged for one. In exchange, the old Ruth soldier who has lost his protection is given an axe. , Hammer or other weapons to kill.

The Russ are suffering losses, and their evacuation is slowing down. Everyone is getting old, guys insist on fighting, Otto is also forced to join the fight.

The Ross people fought and withdrew, and there were a lot of dead bodies on the ground.

The Slavic fighters suffered a lot. Their trembling hands could no longer hold their short spears steadily. They did not dare to face the Rus head-on, but under the leadership of Vadim, they were chasing after them.

On the other hand, a group of people suddenly shot out from the woods, and they attacked Ross' lakeside camp.

Unfortunately, the sneak attack in this area was quickly defeated.

If the Ross people are always negligent, how can they always win.

Just like Otto's chain armor after the demon modification of the chain armor has strong defenses, the Ross people by the lake easily dodge the Slavs' dark arrows, and then quickly form a shield wall to accept the enemy's charge.

Otto saw the melee erupting by the lake, he didn't worry about his fellows, because the old soldiers were also soldiers, and the Slavs were being defeated!

The people on the ship used the torsion slingshot on the side to shoot, and the crossbow was a precise strike and then coordinated with the warrior's wild killing. The armed men of Pine Needle Manor temporarily retreated to the dense forest.

This is an opportunity to retreat!

Otto doesn't know what's going on He instinctively judges this place is dangerous, the best way is to withdraw to the boat and regroup in the White Tree Manor to take precautions.

This year's collection of tributes has encountered an unprecedented setback, and a **** revenge plan has been brewing in his mind.

The Russ fired arrows to force back the Slavic chasers, fearing that they would be killed by the strange stone shot, Vadim had to evade.

"Run away! Otto, you are a coward!" Vadim yelled out loud, but his cursing was drowned out by the sound of killing, and Otto, who had already boarded the ship, could no longer hear him.

The big ship raised the spinnaker, and the Ross people were already unable to recapture the dead body, but that was nothing! The veterans seek benevolence and benevolence, and die on the battlefield is really an old home.

Since Pine Needle Manor chose war, the operation of this year's expedition to Karelia must be changed. The army must conquer those who refuse to accept the cleaning of Pine Needle Manor.

Otto supported his old waist, standing in the bow of the ship, besides being angry, he also had feelings about this armor.

"The scale armor made of steel sheet and lock ring is really easy to use! Great price!"
