Chapter 669： The situation is fully fermented

"The Rise of Rurik (!

The Karelians, who escaped the bear altar by chance, wandered in the forest, relying on catching the little beasts to survive.

The total number of these people is close to a hundred. They are really scattered and the goal is to find the chief's residence, an existence named Isotarva.

Is Isotarva a city?

It is a large wooden tent, the residence of the chief, and the core of the largest tribe in Karelia.

It is not a fixed existence, and tens of thousands of people will use the chief's tent as the core to build tent areas. In summer, people breed young deer in Isotarva and graze in nearby areas. In winter, a large number of people drive their deer to remote places for winter grazing.

If an area becomes barren, the chief's tent will also move, and a new Isotalva will be established in a new area.

For at least a few years, Isotarva will not move.

The Karelian tribes are constantly multiplying from herder families who cooperated in herding a long time ago. Larger herding families absorb small families that come in admiringly, which gradually expands their power. The most wealthy family is precisely the founding family of the tribe. Family members naturally become nobles, and the most powerful ones become chiefs of the tribe.

Several tribes unite, and the strongest becomes a great chief.

The Karelians are rigorous toward the chiefdom, and the expansionary war is promoting the rapid development of this force. The war most tests the organization of personnel, and a kingdom made up of Karelians seems not far away.

People live a peaceful life, and this peace is only the surface.

The largest tribe walked out of the great chieftain of the entire force, and its tribal name was simple and rude, it was Isotarva, which was the "Great Tent" itself.

There are as many as 30,000 people, both in name and in fact, belonging to the Great Accounts tribe. Relying on this huge volume, they can almost represent all of Karelia.

There are also two small tribes named "Xiaozheng" and "Dongzheng". The names are also simple and crude. One reflects its small scale, and the other reflects its location on the east side of the Great Lake.

Isotalva is next to a small lake. It is in the north of Lake Ladoga. There is surface runoff between the two lakes. Therefore, the fugitives do not need to take detours. As long as they join the river upstream, they will reach their destination. Of course, this is still It takes many days to run.

The exhausted fugitive had no idea what happened to the bear altar after being occupied by the powerful attackers. Is it completely in ruins? Has the attacker left? Everything is inconclusive.

They were terrified. When the miserable fugitives finally saw the overwhelming tents, they knelt on the ground and wept with joy. Then they were found by passing deer shepherds and brought them back to the core area of ​​the tent.

What was the strange thing that made these people who appeared suddenly embarrassed, and soon, the terrible news about the assault on the bear altar spread rapidly in Isotarva.

More and more fugitives are entering here. At first, some people may think that the news is a ridiculous joke, but now everyone believes it.

"A group of weird people on huge ships smashed out of the fog, and iron weird people slashed and killed! Both men, women, young and old, and even domesticated deer were killed! They vandalized arbitrarily, even strong bear guards could not defend the altar. !"

A similar argument spread to all the Karelian people staying in Isotarva within a day, and soon the people grazing in the nearby area also understood it.

This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for everyone!

Now it is clearly the time to collect tribute, and the tribes that the messengers go to surrender collect live deer, deer skins and slaves for the nobles to enjoy. Ordinary shepherds are also looking forward to the warm summer. Hundreds of people want to take their goods to the bear altar in the near future and make a deal with the people there.

The bear altar is full of horror. The people who cannot do business are angry and roar to dispel the fear in their hearts, while the minds of the aristocrats who stay behind are completely confused.

Because, the warchief is not in Isotarva.

A man named Aizaelas (meaning not to get sick, to be a poor name to feed) is trying his best to calm the dissatisfaction of the people, calm their fears, and discuss countermeasures with other nobles.

The largest wooden tent is the residence of the warchief and the place of discussion.

The great chief himself is bringing more than a thousand brothers to try to make a great cause, and his hometown is thrown to his younger brother to supervise, and Ethiopia is the brother of the chief.

The warchief’s wives, concubines and female slaves all avoided, and more than a dozen distinguished people gathered together.

An urgent consultation is underway.

When the incident happened suddenly, everyone couldn't believe that it was actually true. The nobles' biggest call was to organize a manpower to investigate the bear altar.

Ezeilas was sweaty, he was not strong, and his name did not really prevent him from disease. This old boy was accidentally blinded by a branch when he was young. Fortunately, with the help of his elder brother, life is not sad.

"You hope to send a team to investigate. I support it." He said, "But the most urgent thing is to send a messenger to inform the other two tribes of this news, and to send a messenger to the west as fast as possible to find the warchief's army. "

A nobleman said, "Tawastia seems to be really done for some reason. Maybe it was God who sent down punishment and killed them, a group of guys who claim to be loved by God. But the guys in Zedi didn't care about it. Xin, going to find the warchief, things are a bit troublesome."

"Even if it is trouble, we must find him."

Another nobleman wondered: "We really need to do this before the matter is found out? The bear altar is destroyed, this is a joke! If someone lied about the news, they would be smashed by a mace!"

These words were actually aimed at the one-eyed Aizaelas.

"Are you worried about my skull?" Aisailas smiled contemptuously. "I don't believe that dozens of fugitives are lying. Even if I smash the skull, I will smash them first. The bear altar must Something has happened, don't worry, I will be responsible for my decision!"

Isotalva itself is the largest trading point in Karelia, but the bear altar has its own advantages. It is adjacent to a huge lake and is on the line of communication for all tribes and tribes living along the lake. "Lu Di" these tribes always give priority to the bear altar to do business.

But the Karelian chief Valkhba (the strong man) has noticed the mysterious disappearance of the Tavastiya, the neighbor to the west. If it weren't for the land of Tavastia, how could Karelia expand there? This is the source of the dispute.

No matter what happened, a space for fertility was vacated, and Valkhba decided to build a brand-new Isothalva on the old territory of Tavastia and move the entire tribe there, so that it could gather all of them. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to destroy the Suomi people by power and become the master of the world!

Karelians, they feel that their region is everything in the world, even the most noble nobles have not figured out that the power of the Rus has appeared in the south of the huge Lake Ladoga.

It is not that they are stupid and cause ignorance, it is almost because they mainly rely on their feet to measure the world, and the information cannot be passed on in writing.

Unlike the Russ, they have at least the historical records of their tribes eighty years ago, and the oak boards that were plated in a fairly smooth way recorded too much.

Although there was no more fierce battle with the Tavastia, the Suomi suddenly appeared.

For some reason, this group of Suomi, who has always been despised by Warchief Valkhba, has become particularly capable of fighting. Two canoe battles on the lake have taken place between the two sides. He really did not expect his opponent to shoot iron arrows. Could it be that they have already Has it become so extravagant?

Valkhba still took advantage, and part of the old territory of Tavastia was annexed.

When a group of Karelian fighters entered those territories, they saw abandoned villages, and the collapsed wooden houses were covered with moss. Upon inspection, it was concluded that these houses were uninhabited for at least a year. Where did the original owners of the house go? ! do not know.

Until a few unlucky Suomi were picked up, after some interrogation, Valheba learned an incredible result: "The Rus have come and killed all the Tavastians."

The captured Suomi people were extremely hard-talking. They knew that it was better to be killed if they fell into the hands of the Karelians. If they were slaves, life would be better than death.

They wanted to die, and when they knew that the interrogator was the Karelia chieftain, they threatened: "Suomi is already at war with you! Suomi is a close ally of Ross! This year, the coalition forces will completely destroy Karelia. Ah, kill all Karelians like Tavastia!"

Who is Rose? However, the tug-of-war between Karelia and Tavastia has indeed stopped with the mysterious disappearance of the opponent.

The captives' remarks were extremely irritating, and all the captives were skinned alive, and Valkhba claimed that this was the punishment that was due to the cursed.

Although all the words of the prisoner were executed, he had to learn the news before, and brought more than a thousand people to investigate whether Tavastia was gone.

The rumored news was confirmed, but things became even more confusing.

The prisoners had a loud voice before they were killed, and they were all "cursing" the so-called Ross would annihilate Karelia.

For a while, the Karelian soldiers were panicked. Relying on his personal charm, Valkhba stabilized the mood of the army, but he himself fell into a strong contradiction.

It is his lifelong dream to become the overlord in his lifetime. Since Tavastia has disappeared, it seems that his dream can be achieved by forcing the Suomi people to surrender.

This is the most glorious moment in your life, and an opportunity to earn endless honors! After weighing it up, he decided to put the army here, after all, it took a lot of setbacks to bring troops from Aiza'ilas to the border area.

To be on the safe side, he still sent a messenger in a canoe to Isotarva to inquire about the news.

He also released a prisoner and told him to tell the leader Suomi to pay tribute and sacrifice a hundred women in exchange for peace.

Suomi leader Uko flatly refused, even because he was pleasantly surprised to learn that Chief Karelia was actually on his border. Wouldn't it be a great achievement if he had assassinated this person. Uko's answer was an attack. This was the third canoe battle on Huze. The battle took place in early August, almost the day when the Ross Squadron stormed the bear altar.

This is a battle of rookies pecking each other. Both sides are shooting arrows at each other. Their canoes are not suitable for jumping and fighting, but without excellent long-range weapons, the fighting is also very boring.

The two sides suffered casualties to each other, and after consuming some arrows, they retreated.

The opponent refuses to surrender and refuses to fight over land! Valheba was extremely angry, and basically fell into an incompetent rage.

His strength is not enough to force his opponent to surrender by force, and his opponent is obviously not capable of defeating himself.

Time is not good for this Karelian expeditionary force. When the weather turns cold, Valkhba must lead his troops to retreat. After all, winter grazing is related to the smooth breeding of the deer herd next spring.

In an unexpected stalemate with the Suomi people, Warchief Valkhba completely ignored the so-called curse.

Until the messenger from his hometown Isotarva arrived at the front with terrifying news.

Several messengers rowed all the way, reaching the camp almost to death.

Valkhba summoned these people, and he immediately asked about the situation in his hometown. After all these questions, the messengers shivered and lay on the muddy ground and wept loudly.

"What's the matter?" His heart beat wildly.

Someone painfully climbed to the feet of the warchief and wailed: "Chief! Our bear altar! Bear altar it..."

"What's the matter?!" Valheba suddenly pinched the person's neck and asked.

Several other people immediately climbed over and said in unison: "The bear altar was destroyed by terrible attackers! Many people were killed! Now they have taken over the bear altar!"

"What?! Ridiculous! This is impossible!"

All the messengers claimed that this news was not absurd, it was an outright horrible fact, and it was news that the scouts exchanged for death!

It turned out that after the meeting, the great aristocrat Aisailas who stayed in Isotarva organized a hundred warriors to form a canoe team to investigate the bear altar.

This warrior reconnaissance team each carried a bow and a short iron spear in his hand.

They swaggered to find a suitable river channel to place their boats, and then ran to the bear altar by land, but they were completely confused when they saw the scene there!

Some tall buildings appeared, and strange scenes drove them to approach, which also exposed themselves very abruptly.

The Ross army that built Bjorn Vistad noticed these uninvited guests. The opponent is obviously armed. This must be the vanguard of the Karelian retaliatory force!

This is the outpost of the Principality of Ross and the landing field of the future army. The brothers don't dare to be too proud. They regard the enemy as the most dangerous enemy, and more than 300 people launched a raid.

The Karelian scouts were not prepared for the sudden outbreak of battle, and their heads were quickly beaten by the sudden arrow.

The steel-armed crossbow harvested life accurately, and after a violent arrow strike, the Karelian scouts had to retreat in an all-round way. Fearing that their opponents hid the army in the forest, the Ross soldiers who left the camp retreated one after another, even if night fell, the Ross army remained on high alert.

This is the news that the scouts have found at the expense of blood. Although they can’t investigate the situation of the bear altar on the spot, it is obviously occupied by a large group of powerful enemies, and they have built incomprehensible tall wooden buildings on the bear altar. Something I haven't seen in my life.

In fact, those are some tall wooden watch towers.

The messenger informed the warchief of the news, and then someone opened the leather pocket and tremblingly held the strange weapon in the pocket to the warchief.

"What is this? Why does it look like an arrow? It's not like an arrow."

"Yes... it's an arrow. If you have a brother, you will be killed by it. It's terrible."

Valkhba looked at this short strange arrow, and couldn't figure out what kind of bow could launch it. The messenger went on to introduce that the retreating soldier drew the arrow from the corpse. There were black stains on the arrow feathers. It was solidified blood. At that time, the entire arrow pierced the leather jacket. Ribs of the deceased.

This is a tapered carbon steel armor-piercing arrow commonly used by the Russ. It has amazing penetration ability. It was originally tailored for the Danish army wearing chain mail. Now it has become a killer for the Karelians.

Valherba thought this was incredible. According to this statement, this stubby arrow could easily kill a bear!

He didn't even believe that the arrow could fly, so he just threw it at will, and the whole arrow was spinning on the mud Now Valkhba took it, he was confused and confused, and then evolved. Into anger. Even the "bear guards" trained by himself cannot guard the sacred altar. Who is the **** attacker?

Suddenly, a noun was ready to come out.

"Ross?!" Thinking of this, the great chief who had stood up suddenly sat on the ground, staring blankly at the light outside the camp: "Is it a Ros? Damn, it's not a curse, it's true!"

The warrior saw that the warchief was in a trance and did not dare to hear the news, and finally she woke up and issued a surprising order as soon as she sobered: "We retreat! The whole army retreat! Assemble the army and fight the damn... **** Ross people to the end. Take back our bear altar!"
