Therefore, our male protagonist Liu Li was born as a baby in a small bay in the middle of Scandinavia. This place is also the settlement of the Ross tribe, and is simply called the Ross tribe.
Roseburg.
But he is still a baby after all, and everything he needs to survive requires the care of his biological mother.
After a few days, Liu Li finally understood the situation he was in. Could he accept today's reality in an instant? Become a member of these ethnic groups who dress up like ancient humans everywhere?
However, I am just a baby after all.
Now Liu Li has a lot of time to figure out the situation he is in.
Before that, what he didn't know was that the biological father of this body was heading towards Fort Ross with hundreds of warriors and a large amount of wealth obtained through plunder and fighting.
At this time, Niya could clearly detect the abnormality of the child in her arms.
For example, children always look at themselves with their lovely big blue eyes, or look left and right, as if they have an extremely urgent hope to gain insight and remember everything they see and hear.
"Child, are you just like your father, with infinite desire for the outside world? Do you really want to explore the outside world that much?"
"Oh! You are still too young. When you grow up, you will definitely become a great warrior. Even, become our leader..."
Niya had too many words of blessing for her beloved son, and she especially hoped that nothing would happen to her child before he grew a beard.
However, when boys of all tribes reach a certain age, they develop fighting skills under the education of veteran warriors.
The Ross tribe, like all the tribes in Scandinavia, is not born with strong fighting power, but because they have a lot of time to hone their fighting ability.
Niya patted the child's back, trying to coax him to sleep, but the child still had his eyes wide open and his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something.
It was completely difficult for Niya to understand these situations. It seemed that the only thing that could explain it was the prophecy of the female elder. This child was an extraordinary person. He was blessed by Odin, and his life would definitely bring glory to the tribe.
Niya was pleasantly surprised by this. As time went by, she paid more and more attention to another major event - the warriors who went to collect the tribute from the Sweg people were likely to return within the next few days.
She is like many women in the tribe, who are looking forward to the return of their husbands and sons with a lot of wealth.
In the past few days, the atmosphere in Roseburg has become increasingly lively.
People have begun to talk about the so-called wonderful goods brought back by the warriors, which will be distributed according to the family and will finally be in the hands of each clan member. By then, how many treasures will fall into their hands?
Niya knows best that the world today has changed.
As for the distribution of spoils of war, she heard that in the time of her ancestors, the men and women of the tribe, even the youngest children, were entitled to a share.
Nowadays, it is men who go to fight, and it is men who travel thousands of miles to collect tribute. Naturally, the power of men in the tribe is getting higher and higher.
Now, only men who have gone through the coming-of-age ceremony have the right to receive distribution.
The so-called coming-of-age ceremony, for grown-up boys, is to prove that they are real men by participating in a battle.
Therefore, as the leader's wife, Niya knew very well that her small family could receive huge rewards from this operation.
The wealth really came at the right time. In this way, the small family had enough wealth to properly raise the little one in their arms through the first winter of his life.
Finally, the warriors' fleet is approaching the port of Fort Ross!
Tribal fishermen fishing for Baltic herring off the coast were the first to spot the approaching fleet.
First of all, fishermen maintain the greatest vigilance.
After all, in this era, fishermen also work part-time as "sea heroes". If they find an isolated fishing boat from a non-allied tribe, the fishermen of the Ross tribe will not mind looting it.
This time, a large fleet of ships raised their wide sails, and they approached the port under the influence of the autumn northeasterly wind.
People with excellent eyesight immediately understood that the person coming was not an enemy, it was entirely because the sails of one of the leading warships in the fleet were printed with a unique texture.
It is a pattern of two oars placed crosswise. Having such a pattern is actually a great achievement for the Ross tribe.
Speaking of which, the pattern on this sail was not made by the Ross tribe themselves.
The "rockable oar" is the origin of the name of the "Russ" tribe. Although the tribe has mastered the linen weaving technology, it is very lacking in cloth printing and dyeing technology.
All the "oars" that symbolize the Ross tribe come from the tribe's allies, those Siyan people in the south.
After all, the Siiya people are a large alliance of tribes, and the Ross tribe is essentially a part of them.
It's just that the Ross tribe is located too far north. The tribe intends to maintain its own initiative, but it also hopes to maintain peace with the "brother" tribes in the south, or at least avoid conflicts.
All the cloth with printed oar patterns was made by the allies in the south, so some dragon-head warships of the Ross tribe sewed it on the sails to declare their friendly status to their own people and allies, and to announce their identity to the enemy.
exist.
Standing on the deck, Otto deliberately lowered the sails to announce his victory to the tribe's elders. He also ordered all rowers to keep rowing, not only accelerating but also constantly adjusting the course.
Otto soon met the tribe's fishing boat, and after a brief negotiation, the fleet moved forward further.
And when those fishing boats were accompanying them, they saw a completely different scene than when they set out.
I saw some warships towing some small boats with cables, and the decorations on their bows were definitely not the style of their tribes and allies.
The fishermen even knew with their toes that Captain Otto's voyage was by no means as simple as collecting tribute. They had gone through battles! And they had received a lot of money!
Yes, hundreds of Otto's warriors fought against a group of Gotlanders on an unknown desert island, and the biggest gain was a large number of weapons.
Although iron smelting technology has been spread to Scandinavia, which is known as the "Dark Land", in fact, the rocks in many desolate hills here are iron ore. All Viking groups have
They have the ability to burn charcoal and use it to smelt iron, but they prefer to obtain the enemy's metal through combat and take it back to their homes to smelt it into the tools they need.
They can actually mine mines and extract pure iron by burning stones.
Especially in the territory of the main Siiya tribe, there are a large number of iron ore veins hidden there. The only thing they lack is the eye for discovering ore!
Therefore, Otto followed the traditional idea and took away all the enemy's battle axes and swords.
The death of his younger brother in battle is certainly a painful thing, but it is also a great pain for the son his younger brother left behind. Therefore, as the child's uncle, Otto knew very well that according to tribal tradition, he was about to succeed his father.
Home, a cold but warm hometown, is right in front of me, that little bay, that happy Fort Ross.
Otto looked around and saw that there were already a large number of ships heading towards the fleet.
