Rise of Rurik

Every warrior who took part in the final action should get a share of the spoils, but due to their luck, only half of the warriors participated in the attack on the deer keepers.

The greedy nature makes the successful half of the people eager to maximize the benefits. Otto noticed this situation, and he must think of a proper distribution model.

He persuaded the skeptics in the team and comforted the other half who followed Harrodsen and missed the action.

The so-called fair distribution method, those who participated in the action got three deer, and those who missed the opportunity got two.

In any case, the dozens of "lost" people did not participate in the final action, but they did give up their free hunting time, and followed the leader to participate in the new expedition to track the deer breeders. There is also hard work.

According to this distribution, there will be no more complaints from everyone.

All reindeer have been tamed, and they are not afraid of humans in nature, so many warriors of the Ross tribe easily tame the deer with hemp ropes around their necks. As for the captured deer breeders, the men and the wounded had all died, and the living women and children had their hands tied directly.

Like those reindeer, they were escorted by the victorious Rus from their destroyed homeland.

Because Otto really didn't know the language of the prisoners, he was actually prepared. If a prisoner did not cooperate, there would be nothing to say, and he directly untied the hemp rope in his hand and exiled him.

On such cold days, without any sustenance, a lonely person would soon freeze to death.

All the captives are smart. Although they were "tamed" like a herd of deer, at least the barbarians did not intend to hurt their lives. They could only temporarily obey the barbarians' orders and let them pull.

The wind and snow are no longer cold, and the trembling Northern Lights seem to be singing praises.

The warriors of Ross took their loot back to the forest where the large number of sleds lay.

They found their sleds and snowboards and started their journey back.

According to common sense, they should rest for a period of time before going on their way. Everyone who is eager to return home is more willing to act immediately. Otto's mood is exactly the same. It has been too long since he left Roseburg. This year's northbound hunting is seriously overdue. Go back as soon as possible, God knows what the chaos will be like in Roseburg.

Facing the temptation to go home, everyone thought of the fastest way to act.

Many people tied the deer with cables, the other end of which was tied to the sled. The owner of the deer, sitting on the sleigh, watching over their bags and other catches on the trip, whips the deer with small sticks to drive them along.

Not to mention, most deer are obedient.

However, the situation of the captured deer breeders was getting worse and worse.

As the leader, Otto had finished allocating deer to his subordinates, and he still had a hundred deer in his turn. He has never had such a large amount of prey in one go, so he is also incapable of taking care of the deer.

Originally, he wanted to use those captured deer breeders, but the result was really bad.

Female deer breeders who have lost their husbands and elders, they have been immersed in nightmares, recalling the faces of their dead relatives. When they think of the tragic encounters they will face in the future, they all want to die.

good! Some prisoners just want to kill themselves with their children, because in the eyes of some people, the future life is suffering in addition to humiliation.

The return journey is a long expedition. If a person is not warm enough, the wind, snow and low temperature can easily kill one's life.

Even the Ross tribe and deer breeders who lived in the cold world for a long time lost the protection of animal fur and died in just a few minutes.

Maybe dying in sleep is a blessing...

The journey has been going on for a long time, and when the short sunshine is over, Otto and his entourage have returned to the so-called forward base.

They spent the night here, and Otto, full of hope for the future, killed a few deer and rewarded his men with barbecued meat.

Of course he would not ignore the deer keepers, and he also gave them some roasted venison.

Herd of deer! It's all our deer herd! These savages...

Otto originally thought that the deer breeders would also be hungry to eat these barbecued meats. As a result, the adults chose to go on a hunger strike, and only the children were eating the meat, which was heralding the beginning of the tragedy.

Otto was a little irritated, and with the attitude of "you like it or not", he continued to feast on the deer leg that had been sprinkled with salt in his hand.

Isn't it a pleasant enjoyment to shield the cold wind from the forest, light a bonfire in the snow under the forest, and watch the fragrant barbecue around the fire?

Otto thought so, but it was a painful mental torment for the deer breeders.

On the first night of camping, the Ross people arranged for some people to watch at night according to their previous management.

The Sentinels are not guarding against any sneak attack, they are guarding against the deer captured by the wolf pack.

All the deer were well tethered. They rested on their knees, or continued to bark the snow with their thick lips with their eyes open, nibbling at the grass roots under the forest. They seem to have no idea about the death of some of their companions, or even their own future destiny.

They, after all, are some livestock.

People are people after all! Everyone has their own emotions, even slaves. If you feel that you have lost even the chance to live, in the end you will be left with humiliation, and the slave will either rise up to resist or kill himself.

Otto thought he had given the captives a warm shack, and the team would continue on their way until a new day.

When a new day comes, when the bonfire is almost burnt out and only white carbon remains, people wake up one after another and begin to prepare their own way back for the new day.

"Ah! These deer are all awake and continue to eat grass?!"

Otto shook his head, removed the whole deerskin wrapped around him, and naturally went to check the condition of the prisoners.

As a result, the three women I saw were already pale. Although their hands and feet were bound, they still managed to twist off their belts so that the cold wind could pour into their bodies.

What perseverance is this! They chose suicide!

"Ah! What's going on? They're all dead!"

Otto let out an amazing roar, attracting many people to gather. Especially his old friend Haruo Zuo Sen, thought that the leader had been hurt.

"What's going on?! Chief?!"

"Look at these prisoners." Otto pointed.

Haruo Zuo Sen immediately squatted down, and subconsciously touched the captive's face with his hand.

"Oops! Like ice and snow, they're all dead! Chief, did you execute them?"

"Bah! You can see that they froze to death. It's too bad, I also expected these people to go back and raise deer for me, but they all died!" Otto stomped his feet in anger, "These deer breeders, they only Axes made of stone against us, I didn't think they were like that."

"Maybe give them a chance to be dignified, give them our shields and swords. The deer breeders can be as brave as our enemies, the Danes. Chiefs, even their women. These women seem to be following their husbands. gone."

Because suicide also requires courage, after Otto and Harrodsen found out the situation, they couldn't help expressing their emotions to these brave people.

"Haruo Zuo Sen, look again to see if there are any alive people in here."

"OK!"
