Chapter 913： Minions and new targets

As long as the flag is held high to declare surrender, the stationed Rus army will not attack?

The people of Vaxjo kept watching. Even with such an army here, their normal production and life were still greatly disrupted.

But Fisk was not completely at ease with the people here. He noticed the huge population here. If they twisted into a rope and tried to kill themselves, the brothers really had to retreat quickly to avoid the edge.

Fisk set up the camp outside the settlement, the horses stayed in the middle of the camp, and some freshly cut tree stumps were placed in the outer part, dressed as a tight defense.

So the submissive people began to act in real service. They paid tribute to the Ross Army with some perch caught in the early morning. The trolleys came in, and the escorts unloaded the wooden barrels containing the fish and swiftly evacuated.

Their fearful appearance caused the warriors to laugh, but Fisk was troubled by it.

The cavalry team has arrived here, and the task assigned by the king has been successfully completed. It is very wonderful that the entire expedition of the Rus army miraculously has no casualties!

No casualties exist The task of conquering Växjö is basically completed. Fisk knew that there was still a formal meeting, and he had to discuss various matters with the heads of the local villages.

Then, it's over? Do not! Since the opportunity is in front of him, it would be unreasonable not to create greater merits.

And a rather realistic problem is also facing the so-called Växjö people who have not completely surrendered.

Early in the morning, Fisk, Kanuf and Bejahir got together to discuss military affairs.

"Now we have completed the task assigned by the king. In theory, we can take the envoy of Vaxjo to the north."

Kanuf gave him a look at Fisk: "Actually you're not satisfied at all. You don't want to withdraw."

"Don't you want to?"

"Haha, I still want to continue to make contributions."

Fisk nodded: "Then continue to fight. Many people who do not surrender will have to escape, and they may go to the Silver Fort. I have heard of that place, where the former King Olegin died."

"I know that too. So... we're going south to avenge that Olegin?"

"But he went to the Swedes, and we're old Russ. But..." Fisk thought about it, "that's a reason."

Kanuf immediately slapped his thigh: "What we lack is a reason. Since there are still a lot of Swedes in our main army, our army can play such a name as a partial division."

"It's just that our army is too small. It's not appropriate to rely on us to attack the Silver Fort. Unless..."

"Unless?" Kanuf raised his head, and the two men smiled at each other.

Bejasil listened boredly here, but when she heard that the two big brothers wanted to expand the war and make new contributions, she completely agreed with no sense.

The young generals of the Ross Army reached a common attitude, and they immediately informed everyone about the new plan they discussed, and their departure attracted cheers from the brothers.

That's Silver Castle! The settlement named after "Silver Coin" is not shabby by any means! Although according to the rules, the silver coins, gold coins and jewelry captured by the army must be paid to the king, but the king always acquiesced to the brothers to take a little privately.

What's more, Yinbao is a trading port. Even if it has suffered a war, it will not keep pulling its hips for ten years. The wealthy merchants there will definitely buy some female slaves, and the normal people of the wealthy merchants will definitely raise them with good faces and graceful figures.

Take the slave girl of the merchant and take it back to be his wife. The soldiers felt that they were good people, helping those women out of poverty.

And he can also have more children, which is what the king is happy to see.

It has been agreed that at noon today, General Ross will go to the Växjö Chamber to discuss the matter with the leaders of the local villages.

Fisk made some preparations, especially considering that this might be a conspiracy, he put on a chainmail under the white cloth robe, and also hung two more daggers on the leather armed belt, so that he could meet in a cramped place. Unexpectedly counterattack.

There is a fighting technique invented by a Danish swordsman master, which was first learned by Yevluo when he was young, but this technique is learned by the standing army. Fisk is a leader in fighting skills. He has a strong personal force, and now he looks like a brown bear in armor.

He also negotiated with Bejahir and Kanuf: "If I don't come back in the evening, the default is to meet those people's plot. You immediately rush into the village to cause damage and avenge me."

Kanuf simply felt that his eldest brother was talking nonsense, and the group of Vaxhes was not enough to be afraid of. He didn't say much, just agreed.

So Fisk swaggered into the settlement with ten entourages on horseback, and entered the chamber, accompanied by Hagrid and Haverus.

He knew that he was thinking too much. The prosperous commercial street was now empty. It was the local village headman who was afraid that he would make a fool of himself and annoy the Rus people. They deliberately avoided it, and only the court was full of people.

A pair of eyes stared at Fisk, who had just entered the door. He was a tall man as strong as a bear. The moment he took off his helmet, his deliberately bald head was even more sturdy.

Even though Fisk is only twenty-two this year.

There is nothing special about this chamber, it is a long long house with benches on the left and right, and a passage in the middle for the preacher to talk.

The open wooden windows let in the sunlight, and the dimly lit longhouse atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

The village chiefs did not dare to speak, they just kept quiet and listened to the rhetoric of the general Ross.

To be fair, Fisk was concerned about the feelings of these people, who craved safety and demanded the benefits of surrender when they were promised safety.

Therefore, they have seen the horror of the Ross army, and what they need to do now is to appease.

"After you surrender to Ross, you are Jonkoping, where the goods can be transported to the north as usual. Now let me introduce you." Fisk immediately pulled Hagrid.

"He is a native of Jonkoping, and now he is the governor of Jonkoping appointed by King Rus. Whatever goods you produce will be bought by Jonkoping, your goods will eventually be shipped to Rus, and all of us will make money from trade. And you , only pay a small amount of tribute, and even have a ten-year free tribute."

A ten-year tribute exemption policy? ! This is amazing.

The leaders probed one after another, they couldn't believe it was true, and finally someone boldly asked: "Ten years of tribute free? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Fisker then made Hagrid's statement to corroborate it.

Let’s talk about the true and false of the ten-year non-payment of tribute, at least now the general Ross has shown great sincerity.

The sincerity of the Rus is by no means weak, on the contrary they are extremely murderous. They must have an inside story today.

The so-called tangible offerings may really be exempted for ten years, but the intangible offerings are still indispensable.

Things were as they expected.

"You have surrendered, but some people have escaped. This shows that you Waxhes are not completely surrendered. Not completely surrendered is not completely surrendered! So, I will hunt down those people!"

Fisk looked around again and ordered: "Now is the time to prove your loyalty! Each of you will organize some troops in each village, and use the identity of our Ross Army to crusade the unscrupulous. Do you understand?!"

It happened suddenly, and everyone remained silent with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"Oh? It seems that you are not satisfied? In fact, I know that many people are fleeing in the direction of the Silver Fort. For there, it is exactly where our hatred lies. In the past, Ross was not a kingdom, and the Duchy of Ross agreed with the rule of the Swedish King Olegin. But Olegin was killed in the Silver Fort. I want to avenge the dead king, you new surrenderers, you must send someone to participate."

"..." They were still silent, and everyone's eyes started to wander.

Their minds were shaken, and Fisk drew his sword sharply. "Send troops quickly! Prove your loyalty! Villages that don't send troops are regarded as rebels and will be eradicated!"

So, the head man stood up tremblingly under the pressure.

"Haha, finally there is someone who agrees. What's your name?" Fisk pointed.

"Grievous. I... am the leader of Dushi Village. I am willing to send troops, but I just hope the warriors will decide for me."

"What do you want?"

"My village's neighbors are the main battlers. They have escaped cleanly now. If you admit that our village can occupy the land and mansions of those people, I will immediately organize men to help you. Oh no, it is to help the Kingdom of Ross."

"Smart choice! You're free to loot your runaway neighbors, **** those who fight. What about the others?" Fisker shouted at this point: "I wanted to come peacefully, obviously All of you are kidnapped by a group of stupid main battle factions. You are not enemies of Ross, and if we talked earlier, you would not have been killed thousands of people. So those main battle guys are the root of all evil!"

So, Haverus seized the opportunity to continue: "The brave general Fisk is right! Especially those Danish refugees and Gotland refugees, who are clearly their fault, but beguile us Vaxjos to go all out. "We can't be fooled by them anymore, only Rose can be trusted now."

Haverus is not interjecting, his assists Fisk is very satisfied.

Fisk made a seemingly unbelievable decision. The Russ Army did not participate in the liquidation of the leftover property of the fugitives.

Each loyal village discussed how to seize the fugitive's farmland, and the loyal merchant discussed how to occupy the escaped merchant's mansion. Now with the endorsement of the conquerors of Rus, everyone can merge without any worries and no longer have to consider moral issues.

If Ross Junso was just some kind of stuff: some oats, some salt from the loot. These are the food for the war, because some of the arrows were damaged, and the arrows needed useful supplements, so the army exchanged some arrows from the captured axes from the local hunters.

The Russ army is going to attack Silver Fort, and Fisk's team must make a contribution. This will be a new expedition, and even the army will need to advance by land and water.

There are still twelve villages in the council, of which there are as many as seven large villages. Proportionally speaking, what the merchant Haverus said was true, and most of the villages and most of the population were not the warring faction.

But the representatives of the Danish merchants had run clean and had left in the prepared longboats.

So the locals really thought they were being coerced into fighting an unnecessary battle. The Rus are not villains, the Danish refugees who started the war are!

Some people listed the crimes of those Danish refugees: "They asked us for land as soon as they fled from Silver Castle. Now because of them, we have died a lot of people. I will send a hundred of the strongest men to assist the Rus people. , but also to avenge ourselves."

It was really a response, and everyone announced that they would send troops.

Fisk got the best of what he had hoped for, and the number of troops announced by all the village chiefs put together a thousand men.

You must know that nearly 2,000 of them have been killed, and the dead are mainly from the main war faction.

In just two days, the Peace faction brought out a real strong army. At one time, the strong men who were deliberately hidden in the tucks brought their own weapons and walked out of their homes. They held the flag of Ross high and turned into an allied army.

After their discussion, they got a rational decision. For the sake of a better future, they decided to actively assemble.

In this way, Fisker ended the meeting happily, and he even made a trip to Haverus' home to visit his family.

Having been so focused on, Haverus was entrusted with an important task as expected. Because there are more people marching and need good logistical support, this Haverus is about to serve as one of the escorts.

Fisk returned to the barracks and summoned the army with domineering arrogance.

The warriors rode together and cheered when they heard the order "March to Silver Fort."

Five hundred Russ troops join a thousand Växjö allies, can these fifteen hundred troops win the Silver Fort?

I heard that the settlement has a wall, and the current Russ army storming it does not have an absolute advantage.

This kind of moment shows Ross's strategic map advantage.

Fisk did not understand the geographical structure and hydrological data of Gotaland, but he knew the direction of the coastline at the southern tip of Scandinavia. As long as you can reach the Silver Fort by sailing south, then it is not difficult to row into the sea and drift to Burnholm Island, and you can even encounter the royal pirate Spuut and his gang who are attacking everywhere on the way.

Even if you can't win the silver castle by yourself, how can there be no reason for it to be unsuccessful?

The villages proved their efficiency with the fact that a thousand troops were assembled the next day, and they played the flags of the Rus, with small flags tied and sewn on their spears on a large scale. Their slogan is also very clear, that is, "revenge the liar who escaped to the Silver Fort".

The Confederates needed a leader, and Grievous, the village leader who first announced his support, was named commander. This matter is also supported by the villages. After all, this person is the first to speak, and he naturally has to shoulder the responsibility. But all the village chiefs were involved, and the submissive merchants followed closely behind Havlus.

The forces of all parties proved their obedience through personal participation, and they also took out the best ships to form a fleet to float on the river.

The cavalry is advancing on the shore, and the fleet is drifting on the river. The two teams form a rapid advance force. The journey to Silver Fort must be only a short time.

Therefore, those who escaped all walk by water, and they really dared not stay for a while because they were worried that they would be chased and killed. The huge and complicated team once blocked the river, but thanks to entering a lake, the complicated team became regular.

They left a great deal of camping marks on the lakeshore, touching the ashes of bonfires, which had long since cooled. Fisk did not expect that he could easily pursue them, and now it was the turn of the Ross Army to camp here.

Let's talk about the fugitives The fastest person escaped to the Silver Fort in only two days and one night.

Silverfort, still a Dane-controlled area, was a city of merchants and also engaged in operations such as salt and wool. Losing the Gotland and Burnholm markets, they sent supplies to Zealand and Växjö inland.

But the current scene puzzled the people of Silver Castle.

A businessman from the north? What's going on with the Vaxjos this year, their huge fleet doesn't look like they're here for trade.

The wall of the merchant's self-protection closed the wooden door, and the mercenary went out of the city to ask the purpose of the landing campers.

Thus received terrible news - Växjö, which has been captured by the unforgivable Rus army.

They even added fuel to their support for Vaxjo to be killed by the Rus army, and the one who escaped was the last living person.

This is naturally not a fact, but it arouses the fear and suspicion of the people of Silver Castle.

Because the Rus and the Swedes really did it.
