Otto couldn't help but feel a little scared, thinking about his entire operation. First, he mobilized everyone for a so-called "large-scale battle and victory with the deer herders witnessed by the Valkyrie", but it turned out to be a one-sided sneak attack. There were also a large group of women among the attackers. and children.
This victory is indeed not worthy of praise, but the leader of the deer herders even issued a curse.
The more he thought about it, the colder his back became.
Because the Valkyrie must have seen clearly everything that happened. Perhaps she encountered Odin's resentment because of her failure to win, which eventually led to the destruction of Fort Ross? !
right! There is such a possibility!
How else could this dead deer herder speak our language? !
I'm afraid the Valkyrie is using her words to warn me!
As the leader, Otto suddenly became afraid to act rashly.
For example, according to past management, when dealing with foreigners, the Russians would of course collect all the trophies, including the leather jackets worn by the deceased, which were also very important treasures.
Forget it this time, all the dead will be buried, and the living must be spared death.
Although the captives must be used as slaves, Otto thinks it is natural. Considering that the Valkyrie also issued some kind of warning, the lives of the captives needed to be protected.
Otto was afraid, worried that one day his Ross tribe would be destroyed, and that his descendants would die tragically like these expelled deer herders.
He ordered a large group of his subordinates who were excitedly preparing to divide the deer, as well as those who were planning to plot against the captured female deer herder, and ordered them to temporarily abandon all their delusions and focus on him.
Otto had no choice but to tell them what he knew.
Because of the beliefs of the tribe and allies, what everyone is most worried about is that they will never be recognized by Valhalla, and everyone's hearts are greatly shocked.
No one would doubt the leader's words, because the leader's series of actions made him completely different.
It is necessary to bury the dead deer herders, and it is necessary to ensure the life of every prisoner. Does this make any sense?
Now they all take on huge significance, as Otto interprets them as "commands of the Valkyrie".
So the obvious coward was regarded as a brave man who dared to resist, and was carried into a snow nest and buried in snow.
While everyone was working hard to dig out the snow, another group of people led by Harozov arrived belatedly.
When they saw the scene in front of them, they were both excited and confused.
Harozov's people came in a hurry, including his son Kanuf, whom he insisted on bringing.
"Chief, is everything over?"
"It's all over." Otto said calmly.
The atmosphere is extremely awkward!
Harozov asked tentatively: "We have won the victory. No one should be injured? What is the situation of the enemy?"
"What a terrible result."
"Are we... someone died?! What are you doing? It seems like you are digging a grave? But the dead should be pulled back."
"It's the body of a deer farmer. It's really bad."
"Ah! Did any fool disobey your order?"
"No, it's really hard to explain in words." Taking this opportunity, Otto briefly told Harozov what happened, and he had already learned many amazing things.
Even what happened decades ago, Harozov found it really incredible: "Did we snatch Rossburg from the deer herders a long time ago? I thought we moved there freely."
"My brother, what did our ancestors do? The priest's wooden board has written the story. Maybe you should study the writing and understand the past things there."
"Ah! Please spare me. How much does that mean?"
"It makes sense. Learning makes people smart. It also allows me to know the background of these deer farmers. It's really bad. Maybe we shouldn't be here in the first place."
Harozov already knew the death curse of an old deer herder, but he did not see the significance of it, and that it was a "warning from the mouth of the Valkyrie."
"Chief, don't take it to heart if a dying man vents his anger. We have already won the victory, and we have to take the rest of the deer back."
"Okay! Let's seize the time to divide the spoils. My brother, I, the leader, must give an explanation to Valkyrie. According to tradition, I have the right to take more than half of the deer, but now I only need one-third. I don’t want to be greedy. As for the distribution of all the prisoners, I must handle it.”
"You...I..." Harozov felt for a moment that his leader was still a greedy person. After all, he saw many women among the prisoners.
Doesn’t the leader want to keep it for himself?
Because in the tradition of all Viking tribes, a man has a wife who has great family power, and a man can also have many maids.
When a man dies, the maid should be buried in his honour. However, when a man's first wife dies, a maid is likely to be promoted to the first wife.
Even if she is a servant, the child she gives birth to will be recognized by the family head and the tribe, but they will not be able to inherit even a copper coin from the family head like the descendants of the head wife.
Now Otto suddenly had a strong sense of mission. It was said that he led his people to destroy the homes of these deer farmers. There were really only three younger women and seven boys and girls of different ages alive. These people must be protected. To ensure their safety, they must continue to survive in Fort Ross.
All because the Valkyrie longs to see a hearty battle so that she can select the right talents to ascend to Valhalla after his death.
The result was just a group of reckless men attacking a group of old people and children.
The Northern Lights in the sky suddenly became a little violent, and Otto immediately announced to the people gathered that this was the Valkyrie's displeasure.
He also issued an order that no matter how these prisoners are distributed in the coming days, there must be one principle - to ensure their safety.
So does everyone support it?
Of course I support it! And the situation became very delicate. Originally, everyone was very enthusiastic about having a servant in their house, but in the end, these prisoners became a hot potato.
It was as if the captives were potential pets. Failure to take good care of them might lead to retaliation from the Valkyrie afterwards. Who can bear this? !
So someone stood up on the spot and announced that he was not willing to accept the allocation of prisoners, but only the allocation of deer.
As a result, more and more people came forward and made the same statement. This result was something Otto had not expected.
"You...since you think so, you are still afraid! It seems that the only way is to let these people join us, because Roseburg is also the home of their ancestors. Brothers, maybe you haven't noticed that you have been infected by the Valkyrie. . Then as Odin’s loyal servants, we have to accept Valkyrie’s opinion. The arrangement of the captives is my job. You don’t have to worry. If my arrangement makes Valkyrie angry, then all the consequences will be borne by me alone! "
