Rise of Rurik

There is a straight line distance of 400 meters between the palace of Emperor Constantine in Trier and the cathedral. The scale of the city is not large, so the distance seems quite far.

Behind the palace is a mountain with an altitude of 400 meters, and the foot of the mountain is only three kilometers away from the nearest city wall.

Now, all four gates of the city are completely open, and the residents are fleeing in droves, while the last defenders are completely lost, and they are swept out of the city by the fleeing crowd.

The battle facing the western gate directly destroyed the morale of Trier City, and the remaining actions of the Ross Army became extremely simple.

Can ordinary stone and wood dwellings find a lot of wealth? Armies with ample raiding experience rushed to the two largest buildings in the city.

Eric "Big Tooth" attacked the emperor's palace with his 200 brothers, easily defeated the remaining defenders and rushed straight to his camp, and then rushed into the palace.

The gate, which was temporarily closed with bronze locks, was smashed cleanly by a long-handled Nordic forest axe, and this Frankish remodeled building, still with Roman columns, Charlemagne's beautiful palace, is now flooded with a kind of blond savage.

People's spirits are ecstatic, the two strong men shivered and pushed open the door, and the brothers behind were eager to try, as if what opened the door was a pile of gold and silver.

The gate opened slowly, and the Ross army entered like a mudslide.

"Grab it, brothers! Use your best abilities to take all the valuables! Kill all those who are hiding!" Holding the steel sword high, Eric the Big Tooth roared like a beast.

For a group of guys who are good at robbing, it is not necessary to teach them how to rob.

The Rus people are indeed different from ordinary Viking pirates. They have eaten characters they have seen before, and even looting should be carried out in a targeted manner.

After all, its original palace on the land of Constantine was turned into ruins after the chaos of the Huns. Frankish monarchs have many palaces in the country, and Trier is quite a beautiful and important one.

Its walls are hung with ceremonial gilded battle axes, and a very noble purple curtain hangs high. Bear head specimens are hung on the walls of some houses to show the monarch's might, and there are also small chapels, which are full of gold and silver furnishings during the period.

All these precious things were plundered, and the curtain was scrambled in pieces. They are very smart, the extremely rare purple (magenta) is extraordinary, and even if they grab the fragments, they are used as decoration on the hilt of the sword, and the trim on the clothes is outstanding.

They poured into the dining room of the palace and took away the gold and silver tableware. After pouring into the clothing room, the clothes that Louis the "Pious" once wore were also taken away.

It's just that they didn't find the existence of the money bank, although they smashed the wooden and stone floors with an axe, trying to find the secret room where the money was hidden. Sure enough, they really got something, but the hole that Nai He smashed was just the remains of a drainage ditch left over from the Roman era. Although the scale was not large enough to attract people to explore it, Nai He had no signs of treasure except for a nose of dust. In fact, there is a complex sewer system underground in Trier. In the old days, the Romans had laid sewers and ravines in the city before building the palace. However, the Frankish nobles understood to make good use of this. Only the main road on the surface of the city had ravines on both sides. Water supply and drainage.

After all, this is a palace, and legally it belongs to the private property of King Lothair. No one can live here arrogantly. On weekdays, there is a small group of waiters who take care of the hygiene of the palace, and there is even a soldier from the flag team to protect it. Now that the soldiers were defeated and fled, the waiter had already run away with the fleeing crowd.

The Emperor's Palace is a complex of buildings that is like a small fortress isolated from the whole city, and now the Rus people move freely within it.

A large number of civilians fled, and they didn't have time to take away enough soft tissue. Many even fled barefoot and wore shabby clothes. Men don't have time to wear hoods, women don't have time to wear headscarves. Such behavior is considered disrespectful in the Diocese of Trier. In times of crisis, the priests are unable to protect themselves, and the fleeing civilians have no control of the rules.

Maybe escape into the hills and use the forest to shelter everyone.

The mountains not far from the city have dense forests, and the mountains are very large and easy to hide.

The door facing the east was built during the Frankish period and was smaller in scale. Quite a number of fugitives left the city from the Roman-era Nicholas "Great Black Gate" in the north, and then rushed to the hilly forest in the northeast.

The city of Trier, a city that sprang up from small riverside plains scoured by mountains and rivers, was beautiful in peacetime and now bathed in blood.

"Fox Brothers" presumes that the church has a huge amount of money.

The cathedral is a genuine Roman-era building. It was destroyed by the war and only remains of ruins. It is not a hassle to repair it. The Romanesque vaulted dome did not completely collapse, and the restored church was built with new wood and stone on the basis of the original building. Although it does not have a spire, the superstructure has a series of small arched windows, and the cross on the real roof is a remarkable beauty.

The chaotic priests didn't know what to do. They surrounded Archbishop Heto, begging this extremely noble monk to make a decision.

But what decisions can Hutto make? Is it possible that an elderly hunchback can still persuade a savage savage with one mouth?

This is indeed the case.

"Don't panic!" The archbishop clenched his crucifix cane and kept hitting the floor, restraining the confusion of the priests and civilians who had entered the hall.

"Papa! What shall we do?"

"Oh! Lord, please save your pious lamb..."

Some people questioned the archbishop, some people kept crossing their chests to pray for redemption, and the evangelistic hall was full of human expressions.

Only Archbishop Heto did his best to sit still, and a burst of courage came to his heart. Heto himself would not escape. If he must die at the hands of the barbarians, he would die as a martyr.

And, who says miracles can't happen?

At that time, Pope Leo I personally persuaded the Huns to repel the army outside Rome. This incident was considered a "miracle of faith". For hundreds of years, the priests did not care about the game of interests behind them, and only recognized the "pope's belief in faith". the power of which dissuaded Satan's apostles".

Heto actually tried it himself. His prayers did not get God's thunder of punishment. The only way to do it was to try to reproduce the miracle by himself.

As a martyr, he led a group of black-robed priests to open the gate of confinement, and at this moment, a large number of Ross warriors had gathered at the main entrance of the cathedral.

The main entrance and side doors of the entire cathedral were blocked. It was not the first time that Blue Fox had done this kind of thing. It is exactly the same. If other Ross generals were present, they had already ordered a group of brave and violent players to break the door, and Blue Fox chose to temporarily hold back.

What if there is an ambush here? In case there is a bunch of inconsequential civilians delaying the brothers looting. Even a question that must be discussed in advance - how to divide the seized property.

Lanhu had to spend some time outside the church to tell his brothers what he said. According to the old rules, the treasury and gold and silver sacred objects should be confiscated first, and then distributed, and the other properties should be robbed according to their ability.

Such a distribution is definitely not fair, and there is no way to think about it carefully. Even if someone grabs a huge amount of silver coins, does he have the ability to grab a life flower?

Who is the blue fox, not only is the king highly regarded, but now his status is the earl of Gothenburg. Although most of the brothers will follow the younger brother Heihu in the future, but the black fox is also a character assigned by King Rurik. Ordinary soldiers have ordinary enjoyment. After the war, everyone can get even a pound of silver coins, which is already a huge trophy.

Just as the blue foxes assembled the team, the gate of the confinement opened voluntarily.

The unusual move made the Ross warriors who had built the shield wall more vigilant, the sword and the axe moved forward in unison, and the blue fox also shouted vigilantly: "Be alert to the ambush."

No armed men rushed out, just some priests in black robes. Even so, the blue fox ordered to be on guard, beware that it was a Frankish soldier in disguise.

A hunchbacked old man held a crucifix stick in his right hand, and opened his burqa in his left hand, revealing his severely bald head, which was protected by a small felt hat.

This person has a large cross with a strong metallic color hanging on his chest, and his clothes seem simple, and it is no trivial matter for the blue fox to recognize this priest at a glance.

"A senior priest? Who is he?" Blue Fox hurriedly asked Fred, who was leading the way.

"It's the archbishop, his name is Heto." After speaking, Fred made an urgent request: "I beg you, don't kill him! Don't hurt the priest here! I... don't want to undermine the bottom line."

"You still have a bottom line? What do you want to do when you get on our ship?" Blue Fox smiled, and when he saw the other side showing embarrassment, he tapped his chest again: "Don't be stupid, my friend. My godfather is the Northern Archbishop Eski. Er, the so-called bottom line, I know better than you!"

While King Ludwig gave permission to "do whatever you want in the Norman way," Somohu's promise could make a big fuss after something really happened. Do you really want to do anything? Like killing these priests and decapitating the archbishop to make a wine bowl?

Blue Fox does not have such a strange hobby. He believes in Thor and in God. He has dabbled in various gods. Now, because he is active in the Frank world, he also needs to consider whether he will be punished by "God" for doing too much.

Now he once again felt the beauty of learning Latin. The shield wall opened a crack, and the blue fox put the round shield steel sword in the sheath, and opened his arms to signal to walk out of the army without threat.

"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"

A blond man with a fat face stepped out, clearly showing a peaceful gesture. Heto was overjoyed when he saw it. Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, he seemed to want to talk. Maybe the turning point of the disaster was now.

Heto put on a face of vicissitudes and determination, tapped the wooden staff again, and said solemnly in a hoarse voice: "You! Hurry up and leave! Don't destroy this sanctuary!"

The words are spoken in Frankish, and Blue Fox does not master this language very well. Since this time, he has only been able to communicate with the surrendered Fred, and he is not willing to talk to people for a long time.

The blue fox still raised his hands slightly, and his mouth was Latin: "Pada! We are just a group of lost sheep, we want to be taught."

Latin? Hutto was taken aback and confirmed that he was not wrong. The content of the other party's words was even more strange, making him not sure how to proceed.

The blue fox continued to repeat the words, and his hands down were still making a cross on his chest, numbing them with words while walking slowly.

Although it is very magical, it seems that a miracle has really come! Perhaps this group of savages entered the sanctuary when they stepped into the square outside the church, and their souls have already begun to be affected.

The people of Trier most hoped for a miracle, and Heto reinforced this idea in his heart, his vigilance was gone, his seriousness was tempered.

"In that case, lay down your arms. Repent! Repent of the evil you are doing! End all destruction! The Lord will forgive you."

Lanhu's hypocritical smile is still the same, he is still moving forward, and continues to deliberately say: "So, can people like us really be redeemed?"

"Of course! You are blinded by blood. Stop doing gangsterism and repent! Put down your weapons."

Lanhu continued to fuss and confuse the snake, walking well and right, until he stood in front of Archbishop Heto.

Those nervous junior priests all sweated for the archbishop. At this point, it seemed that a miracle was happening.

When it comes to acting, it is necessary to do a full set. Blue Fox has no idea that these pedantic guys are really insane. He consciously judges it well. After all, Archbishop Eskil of the North and Archbishop Hardbold of Cologne have similar problems. One mouth will persuade a berserker to convert. I have been in the monastery for a long time, and I don't know the dangers of the world. Or another form of arrogance.

The blue fox first bowed slightly, then seemed to kneel, and when Heto completely relaxed his vigilance, he rushed forward with a vigorous step, choked his throat cleanly with his right arm, and pinned Heto's arm with his left arm. The old guy was so old that he couldn't move because of the pincers, the crucifix cane fell, and the whole person was dragged back by the blue fox.

Heto screamed in horror, and the other priests and refugees were speechless.

In the final analysis, what Lanhu wants is to make a fortune. He is not a warrior in the Viking world. He feels that it is not his job to kill the blood sacrifice Odin, and now he does not want to kill the civilians in front of him. He personally even felt that these guys would delay their looting by standing here.

He suddenly shouted in Frankish: "Idiot! I give you life, run away now! Or die!"

The smart guy seized the opportunity to run away, and naturally there were people whose legs trembled as if they were stuck to the ground, indifferent. Some priests fled, and some insisted on standing in front of the church.

Lanhu shook his head and said in a tearful voice to Heto, who was being held tightly: "I gave you a chance, those who don't run will die."

After all, the order to attack was issued, and no matter what the reason, the people who were dumbfounded were cut down, and the Rus soldiers swarmed into this Roman-style cathedral.

The looting happened immediately, and the gold and silver sacred artifact visited by the preaching hall was still robbed by the warriors.

At the same time, the soldiers began to rummage around, just to find where the silver vault was.

In fact, the silver treasury is easy to find, and it doesn't even need Blue Fox to ask Archbishop Heto to confess.

The church has a larger cellar and a high-rise structure.

The superstructure of Trier Cathedral is stacked with parchment manuscripts, as well as a collection of daily records. Its cellar is the place to store gold and silver~www.readwn.com~ A bronze lock has been locked for a long time.

The lock was violently broken again, and a leather-covered wooden box containing silver, copper and a small amount of gold was found. The boxes were heavy, and as one box was smashed open to reveal the coins inside, the soldiers judged the other boxes as envoys.

Blue Fox asked his subordinates not to loot privately, and the facts could not be completely organized. It is enough for a smart person to grab a handful of silver coins here, so the only wooden box that was smashed was shared by the brothers present, and the other wooden boxes remained untouched.

The boxes were moved to the outside of the church one after another, and the blue fox was carrying them outdoors. Heto, who suffered the disaster, was already awake. The poor old guy was tied with his hands and feet, and his fallen cross and cane were also trampled off in the chaos.

Heto cursed in Latin that the barbarian would go to hell. Blue Fox took the trouble to stop his brother Black Fox from trying to assassinate him, and ordered his subordinates to keep their mouths shut.

With the appearance of the cash box, the overjoyed blue fox was very satisfied with his prediction and strode forward. Following the introduction of his subordinates, he instructed the people to smash the box in front of him, and then what appeared in front of everyone was Man Dengdeng's fineness. Nice Frankish silver coin.
