Rise of Rurik

【The Rise of Rurik】 【】

Remember [] in one second, fast updates, no pop-ups!

The Prussian Samba tribe does not have a unified leader, or the leaders of each village may be promoted to the supreme leader due to any opportunity.

The Samba tribe is indeed in a state of disunity, but its neighbor Denarowa tribe is just the opposite.

In this era, there was no Northern Crusade, there was no fierce attack by the Teutonic Knights, and there was no Prussian Denarowa tribe that was beaten to the point of relocation.

The unit withdrew to the Bug River Basin with deep hatred. They merged with the Utvin people and the Okshtet people who fled from the north. Most of the Prussians who could escape also withdrew into the new Lithuania. kingdom.

It was precisely because of the coordinated attacks of the three knights of Teutonia, Denmark and Sword, as well as the Latvian servant army, that the people on the verge of destruction were forced to unite, and the Kingdom of Lithuania suddenly appeared.

Mindaugas, the new generation leader of the escaped Denalua tribe, got the support of all tribes and became the king!

He is also the only king of the Kingdom of Lithuania.

The life of this great king was a life of resistance to the Crusaders. Even though he was so cunning in matters of faith, he ultimately ensured the foundation for Lithuania's survival.

However, in this new era when the Kingdom of Rus suddenly emerged in the Baltic Sea, and in this era when the various Baltic tribes became weaker, it was obvious that the Denarowa tribe would face huge survival challenges, and this was something they were unaware of.

Messengers from the north rushed south with horrific news, followed by a large number of old people and children.

Naturally, there are a few people lurking around the altar of Pusketis. Although these people are weak, they do not want to give up their homes.

There are warriors left behind to protect her. It was these lurkers who did not participate in the final fierce battle, but they saw the annihilation of the warriors and the overwhelming "Danish pirates" pouring into the high altar and residential areas.

The pirates are by no means stragglers. Based on the limited knowledge of the locals, it is estimated that this is a powerful Danish chief who led his troops to plunder.

At this time, the wheat harvest in the southern Baltic Sea region has begun.

It stands to reason that at this point, even the Danes guarding their broken island should spend a lot of time harvesting wheat. How could they go to the peninsula to plunder?

A horrifying idea quickly reached a consensus among the refugees—the Danes must have caused the disaster and decided to enter the Prussian territory to search for property and take away wheat.

Look at the actions of those invaders. They marched into the altar area and occupied the entire settlement. They did not set fire after the killing. Maybe the leading Danish chief decided the battle here and started war on the entire Samba tribe!

No! The enemy's ambition may sweep everything away...

Even the brave high priest sacrificed his life. Is it possible to drive out the invaders independently by relying on the strength of other villages? Obviously not.

This is no longer a problem for the Samba tribe itself, but a survival problem for all tribes in the peninsula.

The Altar of Pusketis is in the northern part of the Sambia Peninsula, at the intersection with the lagoon sandbar. The refugees decisively went south. In addition to informing the southern villages of the death threats they faced, they also had to continue to escape just to inform the powerful Denarowa tribe. Disaster in the North.

There are also some refugees who fled westward. These people were not desperate because there was a village belonging to the Samba people to the west.

Lawson Village is hidden behind a coastal dune. The entire environment makes it resemble a cellar, hence the name Lawson Village. (Today's Svetlogorsk, thirty kilometers northwest of Kaliningrad.)

The villagers are very kind to each other. Although the fishermen in Lawson Village cannot believe that the high priest died and the high altar was occupied by the enemy. They did not see anything unusual while fishing in the sea today, so they do not believe the villagers' statement about the "Danish attack". However, the villagers There is no reason to deceive in time, and it is deception on this matter of life and death.

Faced with the tearful call for a blind date on the run, the entire Lawson Village, men, women, and children suddenly came up with the idea of ​​taking back the big altar, but after considering their own strength, they gave up.

Where should the whole village go? They decided to move forward directly with Xirou, meet with the villages of Kedenau in the south, and then tell the locals about the attack in the north.

The Kwednau tribe of Prussia (meaning the owner of the garden land), the living area of ​​this tribe is Königsberg, or Königsberg itself was developed on the basis of this tribe, but it was conquered in another plane. After the Denau people were defeated and surrendered to the Teutonic Knights, they quickly became Germanized.

As time passed, Königsberg was renamed Kaliningrad, and Kdenau's name was also changed.

The Sambia Peninsula is a small place. The Samba tribe lives in the northern coastal area, and the southern part of the peninsula is shared by the Denarowa tribe and the Kdenau tribe. More Prussian tribes lived deep in the mainland, maintaining peaceful relations with more related ethnic groups, and also living in a state of friction and peace with various Polish tribes.

in this small area

The Denalua tribe has the largest population, and its strength is also the strongest.

However, even if the militiamen of the three tribes were gathered together, they could only cobble together 5,000 warriors, among whom a large number of female warriors would inevitably be mixed. War is an obligation shared by both men and women. Mobilizing female soldiers is not a problem, but no tribe will do so in a non-fatal crisis.

When the refugees from the Samba tribe entered the southern villages, at first the people did not want to believe that the high priest and the altar were destroyed. Until more and more refugees came from the north, in the evening, the witnesses who escaped reported the vicious Danish pirates they had seen. After a lot of exaggeration, no one could believe it anymore.

The village leaders were shocked. If it was true as the witnesses said, there were Danish soldiers dressed in white everywhere. Even if they organized a militia to rescue the high altar, wouldn't they have to die in the dust? !

The leaders of each village showed a tacit understanding. They first mobilized their own villagers to pack up their belongings and put them on carts, and drove out all the cattle, sheep and poultry. When they were planning to flee southward while holding torches to smear the enemy, the leaders met one after another. , sharing his determination to escape with everyone.

On this night, in the villages of the Samba tribe that can be counted with only one hand, the villagers held up torches, and the fleeing team was like a fire dragon. They walked on the traditional dirt road that has been trodden with a pair of feet for hundreds of years, even if Even if smearing is not possible, you should flee to a safe area as soon as possible.

【The Rise of Rurik】 【】

The unusual movements from the north naturally shocked the villages of Denarua.

The villages did not think that there was an attack by thieves. Many people thought that wild animals had entered the village, so they picked up weapons and tried to fight.

Wolf.

The visitor was not a wolf, but a large number of dark yellow will-o'-the-wisps appeared outside the village, which were covered up by the night. The strange sight made the villagers even more nervous. They suddenly felt sleepy and raised their hands in an attempt to fight the monster!

Misunderstandings ended one after another in various villages, followed by huge doubts and the resulting shock.

In the early morning, the noise of the messengers on horseback woke up the leader of the Denalua tribe from his dream.

"Absurd! Why did I hear the sound of horse hooves? It wakes me up better than a rooster?"

The leader, Tiurk Kritaitis, banged his head and burst into tears.

Soon, the guards rushed into his room and reported the important situation on their knees: "High Priest! The Samba people in the north moved south. They said..."

"Samba people? Going south? What's going on?"

"War, terrible war! High Priest, please go and have a look! The leaders who have fled are waiting outside."

"It's simply unbelievable. How dare they? I didn't invite them to visit, but they actually trespassed on my territory? Ridiculous." Turk tapped his face covered with blue tattoos again, and then held up his hairless face. With a big bald head, he put on a plain white robe after regaining consciousness, picked up his amber-covered wooden staff, and walked out of the room.

Turck, this is the name of the leader, which means "powerful" in Prussian. He does not have a surname, or it is the surname of the tribe. Cletetis is a title, which means "blood priest". In the context of this tribe, it means that the high priest still controls all worldly powers. He is the deity. The unique leader of the Naruva tribe.

Turk first served as a priest

If necessary, this man with tattoos can transform into a warrior.

The frightened village leaders of the Samba tribe met with the southern overlord. Because they had something to ask for, everyone behaved extremely humbly.

After a lot of descriptions, under the holy light of the rising sun, the strongest king of the Prussian tribes in the Sambia Peninsula basically understood the situation.

"Is there a greater leader here than you? The barbaric Danes destroyed the great altar of Pusketis. This is not just an attack on us Samba people, it is simply an insult to the great you!"

"Yes. You are the owner of the Blood Altar, and your tribe is also worshiping the Earth Goddess. How can we allow the Danes to destroy our faith?"

"Those people are killing and destroying everywhere. Our priest is dead. Where should we go? This time, the number of Danish pirates is countless. They are well prepared and want to destroy our tribe. After succeeding, I will destroy you later! Please ask the great leader to make a decisive decision."

The leaders speak better than they sing. Although neighbors usually want to make peace with each other, now they are finally standing on someone else's territory. Even a brave man has to hang his arrogant head, otherwise even the reinforcements will not come even if they are half a soldier. .

This would make Turk decide to send troops north to attack the Danish pirates, which would make him look too stupid.

【The Rise of Rurik】 【】

He could see the anxiety and pain on the faces of these leaders, and it would be heartless if he seemed to delay deliberately. He felt that he had to give them an answer as soon as possible, and he was muttering in his heart - when did the Danish pirates become so stubborn that they even wanted to kill me?

Denarua Department up to and one

Some Danish traveling merchants trade amber, which is not uncommon in the local area. The Danes known to the big leader are not so courageous.

Unless those rumors are true! A newly emerged Danish leader became the king, and then showed a strong desire to invade.

The former Danish leader Godfrey once raised his troops to attack the Sambia Peninsula. Later, Denmark fell into ruins for decades. Could it be that now that the ruins have ended, the looting has started again?

When he was hesitating, a leader suddenly said: "Great leader! Now your tribe is also actively harvesting wheat. When you put all the wheat into the granary, the barbaric Danes invaded in large numbers. At that time, your people We are exhausted after the wheat harvest. Do we have to fight those pirates with tired warriors? I am really worried that the wheat will be snatched away by them..."

These words were really enlightening. Turk was initially hesitant about whether to send troops and whether the reasons for sending troops were sufficient. Now it seems that he really has to urgently mobilize troops to fight back.

Unlike the coastal tribes, the inland Denarowa tribe relies more on the harvest of oats, rye and other cereals. Their villages are also actively raising cattle and sheep, and fishing as much as possible in nearby rivers and lakes. Compared with other tribes, Developed agriculture allows Denaroa to feed as many as 10,000 people!

Ten thousand people are nothing to Rus. In this era of extremely low productivity, ten thousand people from the Denarowa tribe can support its hegemony on the Sambia Peninsula. Although the figure of this generation of leader and high priest is Erke had no intention of conquering neighboring tribes or villages.

Unless these villages are willing to actively contribute, each village will hold a meeting to decide whether to accept new members. Only in this issue, because it involves farmers

Leader Turk cannot talk about the actual economic interests such as fields, pastures, and fish ponds.

On the other hand, he firmly maintained the military power and the right to wage war, and as a high priest, he could openly wage war against foreign enemies in the name of God.

If the Danish pirates refused to leave, the Denaroa tribe would gather their neighbors to fight against them, gathering as many troops as possible to overwhelm the Danish camp. Such a great victory would not only allow the villages of Denaroua to seize a large amount of iron, but also As a leader and priest, you can gain great glory.

Turk, of course he wants to conquer the Sambia Peninsula and become the supreme ruler of this small world between the sea and the lagoon.

There was no chance in the past, but now taking advantage of the opportunity of gathering people's strength to resist the invasion, he can legitimately become the supreme leader.

Several villages were built around the Great Altar, and Denarowa stood in the area just north of today's Kaliningrad.

Leader Turk was still wearing priestly attire. When he gathered the leaders of his own village and the leaders of the northern refugees for a meeting, a new group of people came to the altar.

Those were the envoys from the Kdenau tribe, the envoys from Samba Brausen Village.

Since they all came for the same thing, Turk simply invited him into the open-air venue of the altar.

It was this episode that made Turk realize the seriousness of the situation.

【The Rise of Rurik】 【】

After all, the Sambia Peninsula is not big, and the three tribes communicate frequently on weekdays. It is a wonderful area surrounded by sea on three sides and touched by two lagoons. It is very close to the Danish world, and it is extremely easy for the blond pirates from the north to target and open up new settlements and not leave.

The Prussians living here can accept a blond traveling businessman, but they cannot accept that their homeland is

They occupy.

Now the attitudes of the village leaders have become highly unified. It is said that three people become a tiger. Although only the first refugees saw the massacre, after the news fermented overnight and passed through the legends of various ministries, things have become eccentric.

Who is the most noble person?

Everyone turned to look at Turk, who was dressed in a priest's attire, staring at his blue-lined face and the wooden staff inlaid with slowly amber, listening attentively to the declaration of this man who was also a warrior.

"I was skeptical at first, but based on the current situation, I think we have reason to believe that a large group of Danish pirates intend to conquer us and make Sambia their territory, and if we don't resist, we will all become slaves.

Many people have been killed. They are taking advantage of our wheat harvest to continue to move south. We are exhausted and facing their invasion, we have to fight them with an ax in our sore arms. This is extremely detrimental to us, and it is precisely their conspiracy.

I think we should just use it to our advantage!

They've killed a lot of our friends, killed a lot of people and now they're out of breath, and we can't just sit there and wait. I intend to organize an army to fight against them, not for Samba, not for Kdenau, but for all of us.

Therefore, I hope you all recognize me as the supreme leader! At least this time, you organize your army and put it all under my command. Let us organize a three-party coalition to attack the Danes and recover the Altar of Pusketis! Revenge for the dead! "

What the frightened people needed most was Turk's determination to carry out the campaign. His preaching was highly welcomed by the village leaders of the fleeing Samba tribe, and also pleased the frightened Kedenau envoy.

For Dana

The leaders of the villages in the Luwa tribe already support the high priest. Everyone truly believes that this man has been blessed by God and has indescribable divine power. The one being humiliated now is the Earth Goddess. The Denalua Tribe also worships this deity. Their faith has been insulted, their survival has been fatally threatened, and the friendships they have accumulated with other tribes in daily life have been humiliated.

One man raised his arms and shouted, and all the villages decided to respond!

Even at this time, they still generally regarded the enemy as "a large group of Danish pirates with evil plots."

They took action.

All the men put down their farm tools, and all the work of wheat harvesting was handed over to women, the elderly, and children. The newly harvested oats were pounded, shelled, cooked, and put into linen bags as dry food. The men took him and the weapons transformed from farm tools and began to The villages gathered.

The high priest also gathered all the horses and riders in his department. Even though the number was small, the horses were of good quality and the saddles were nothing more than a leather blanket.

The Denarowa tribe organized two thousand warriors, which were all the able-bodied men of the tribe.

The population of Kedenau tribe is not large. After the envoy returns, the local leaders need more time to organize militia.

Turk did not want to wait for them any longer, so he gathered his own troops and the fleeing Samba people to form an army of 3,000 people.

He also specially sent someone to count the troops he could mobilize immediately, so that he could get this unexpected number after completing the assembly in the evening of that day.

"An army of three thousand people! On the Danish island, why not wash them down into the sea and feed them to the fish?"
