In any case, the entire sneak attack achieved good results.
Otto roughly counted the deer in the fences. During the entire attack, the deer pens were not damaged and all the deer were intact.
These deer were awakened, and they quietly watched the killings of humans, as if they had nothing to do with them.
After all, deer are deer, just a group of animals in captivity. Now their fate is just to leave the hands of the Sami people and become the treasure of the Russian people.
But with a herd of 300 deer, can the Russians take good care of them?
Of course not.
According to the rules set by the leader before the operation, all the characters dutifully launched the attack first. Those deer must be the final spoils. Only after the battle is over, the leader will personally distribute them.
No one will worry that they will not get any benefits. As usual, the leader acts as the "distributor" and will distribute the treasures fairly and fairly according to the ancient tribal rules.
The terrible attack had just ended, and everyone was immediately eager to take advantage of all the loot.
Especially the deer herders whose homes were destroyed, and the women and children who were still alive for the time being, they had no idea how these barbarians would treat them.
I’m afraid it would be very tragic!
Otto did not intend to be disadvantageous to a group of women and girls, because this was not in line with tradition. A true warrior would not attack women and children on the battlefield. If such evil behavior is committed, once the Valkyrie discovers it, his soul after death will not be able to
Went to Valhalla.
But these women and children will become slaves of the tribe according to tradition, specifically, slaves of Otto himself.
Otto first ordered some of his most trusted subordinates, especially Harold Zuosen: "Send people to drive out all the deer. You must carefully count how many deer there are and use me to distribute them."
"Chief, maybe you should manage this matter yourself. You put this responsibility on my shoulders. I am very worried."
"What are you worried about? My brother?! Don't worry, I can trust you. As for me... I still have some things to solve."
Therefore, when Otto got old, he was only willing to spend the rest of his life with his old wife.
Traditionally, tribes did not have a concept similar to "concubinage", but a leader could legally have multiple maids.
People in the tribe generally know that in the wealthy allied tribes in the south, many powerful men not only have beautiful wives, but also have many servants. As long as the male master is willing, those servants must unconditionally give birth to more children for the male master.
In everyone's opinion, this is the best way to make their family "luxurious". Unfortunately, the Ross tribe is located too far north, and there are not many women in the tribe, let alone the possibility of maids.
The marriage with Novgorod has just begun. At least this move has begun to alleviate marital conflicts within the tribe.
So of course many people are eyeing these female deer herders. Even though they are quite old, those who are widowed in middle age don't mind that much.
Otto could guess that someone had such an idea, and this time he just wanted to be selfish.
Because he is the leader of the tribe!
Otto walked into the huddled prisoners and squatted down to observe who they were.
The result is obvious, there are middle-aged women and a group of children.
He asked these people about their situation in Norse, but the other party not only couldn't understand him at all, but also muttered a lot of incomprehensible language.
Otto wanted more information. Since the old woman had been seriously injured and died, these people had no value before they learned Norse.
Otto could only shake his head helplessly.
At least they are all living people, and it would be perfect if they were my servants.
Otto couldn't help but think of many things!
"I am also a leader, but I live in a shabby wooden house. I have no real servants, only some women from the same clan occasionally come to my house to help. Compared with the leaders of the allies in the south, am I
Do you want to be shabby at the end of your life?! No! I can't do this! If my fate is to be like this in my life, I can only accept it, but my son, he will be the next leader, and Rurik will be the prophecy
The greatest leader like that cannot have even one servant!"
He lost two sons unexpectedly when he was young, and he only had his last son when he was over fifty.
Otto was very brutal towards his enemies, but he loved his son deeply.
After a long hunting trip, he felt that his body was old and frail. If it were not for the strong physique he had developed in his youth, he would not have persisted until now. After all, he was old and his life would come to an end.
No matter whether your destiny is to go to Valhalla or enter the underworld, your property before that will be inherited by your son.
These properties include the "Destroyer", the divine sword that he sharpened like clay, all the silver coins and a small amount of gold coins buried in wooden boxes in shallow soil, and even a batch of animal skins and pots and pans. He wants to give his son more
property, such as some servants.
No! Maybe servants should start training now.
Otto has planned to take all the captives as his own. He plans to order this group of deer herders to continue raising deer. Of course, all the results of deer raising will belong to his family. Including all deer herders, their fate is also the same.
Control yourself.
Otto had already stood up, but thinking of this, he squatted down again.
He muttered: "We have to choose a suitable servant for Rurik, someone who will take care of him full-time. Well... it must be a woman."
Otto began to carefully examine the prisoners, especially the children among them. With his rough hands, he took off the children's fur hats and focused on looking for the girl among them.
To his surprise, all seven of the captive children were girls.
"I thought there was a boy, what's going on?!"
There were hundreds of children in Roseburg, but not many of them were girls. The reason for this lies in the Viking tradition!
After all, nearly half of the people in Roseburg are foreigners living here. Although they have settled here, they are essentially allies of Roseburg. The daughters of these people are often engaged to boys from other families when they are twelve years old according to tradition.
In this kind of marriage, the girl will marry whoever offers the most chips.
Families in the Ross tribe are generally poorer, so there are fewer girls from allied tribes marrying in.
Intermarriage within the tribe is also difficult to be accepted by everyone. As a result, more girls in the tribe marry outside the tribe, so that the girl's parents can get more rewards.
As the leader of the tribe, Otto was called a rare smart man by the old priest Vilia. He was smart because he had a long-term view on many things.
He knows the importance of boys practicing fighting skills, because that is the fundamental force that maintains the power of the Ross tribe. He is also concerned about the marriage status of men in the tribe, and even the status of women in the tribe.
Only with more girls can there be more mothers, and the new generation of boys in the tribe can be more and more abundant, which ultimately makes the tribe's combat effectiveness higher and higher.
The girls captured by the deer herders this time are all from other tribes. It is perfect for them to become the wives of some tribal boys when they grow up.
There may be people who look down on these foreigners, but there may be people who are willing to accept such people as wives.
However, Otto never intended for his son Rurik to marry a deer herder girl ten years later, and they could only serve as a servant.
He pulled the girls' faces and chose the one that pleased him the most, just because this girl's braids were very interesting.
His deep eyes were staring into a pair of sharp eyes, which frightened the girl to the point where she was at a loss and her whole body was just sluggish and trembling.
"It's you." Otto muttered with satisfaction, "No matter whether you understand what I say or not. From now on, you will be my son's servant. You must take good care of him, otherwise I will throw you into the sea."
After hearing these words, the girl was so frightened that she burst into tears. Of course she could not understand the meaning of the stubble-faced savage in front of her. In short, the savage had a face like a wolf, and she could easily guess her own
Fate, I'm afraid, is like a lone deer attacked by wolves, dying miserably on the snowy field!
Look at these barbarians again. They are already robbing their own herds of deer, and they are all happily shouting incomprehensible words.
By this time, the girl was still worried about how her tragic fate would end.
She doesn't know yet that she will soon return to the place where her ancestors settled a hundred years ago. After that, her fate will depend on another little boy who is much younger than her.
That little boy, he is not and has no intention of becoming the new savage.
