Chapter 56 Found the Deer Breeder

However, when the day dawned, things changed.

Otto and his entourage hid in a grove. More than a dozen people chatted with each other about their past, and most of them were thinking about the future hunting.

They were already in a relatively high position, actually on the slope of a hill.

The pine forest gave them some cover, but it didn't completely obscure their view.

Everyone can see far away with their eyes wide open, and their piercing gaze observes even the tiniest changes in the environment.

Finally, a large group of unknown objects wriggling appeared on the snow field in the distance.

Almost for an instant, the happy faces of the people who were still chatting and laughing suddenly became stiff.

People were lying on the snow one by one, facing the changes in the distance. At this moment, Otto's heart was only filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Ah! Odin loves us. My prayers have paid off, brothers, and we have a baby!"

Otto's loyal friend Harrodsen couldn't help asking: "Boss, your prayer? When did you pray?"

"It was last night that I made a wish to Aurora. It seems that the Valkyrie has helped me with the words, and Odin has responded. You knock, that is the deer."

Although it is only a vague shadow, everyone can guess that it is by no means a herd of deer.

"Hey, maybe there will be a hundred deer. Chief, a dozen of us will act immediately, what do you think? We can easily catch a few of them," suggested Harrozosen.

"No! Don't be in a hurry, because we're not just here for a few deer. We want everything."

"Ah? Are you still thinking about those possible deer breeders?"

"Yes, don't you guys long for a fight?"

The hearts of Vikings are so simple sometimes.

Everyone is eager to fight, especially the so-called "under the witness of the Valkyrie", to show their heroism through battle, and to prove their strength with hearty fighting.

Of course, the Viking tribe didn't actually like to fight at night.

Those deer breeders are not of their own race.

Judging from everyone's simple ancient thinking, except for compatriots and allies, the rest are potential enemies, and for their own safety, they cannot easily court them. The easiest and most direct way is to loot once before talking about it.

Otto ordered everyone to lie down, and everyone quietly observed the movement in the distance.

Sure enough, the speculation became a reality, and those deer breeders appeared.

I saw a few tiny humanoid figures driving the deer, forcing them out of the woods.

"Did you really put your home in the woods in front of me? What a foolish decision. Maybe you can withstand the wolves, but we are more ferocious than white bears." Otto said to himself, he The mind is already planning a rigorous plan.

The longest winter is approaching, the so-called polar night time, when the day is gone.

According to the management of previous years, he should have returned to Roseburg with his prey at this time, and so did the others.

Thousands of people will shrink in the fjords, even those who dig holes for seals will go back, and when the sea ice melts, everything will start to recover.

As the Russ did, Otto believed that the life of the deer people would only get worse.

Only the warriors of Ross dare to advance in the ice and snow, and the others can only survive the winter by hiding in the warm nest.

What the deer farmers are doing now is obviously herding, and this vast area is their pasture. Otto thinks along this line of thought, and he can conclude that the deer breeder has settled down and will not leave for a short time.

He observed it for a while, and when the short day was about to pass, he showed his subordinates what to do.

"Harozov, my friend."

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"You are now rushing back to our forward camp with your two brothers,

You picked up the rest of us at camp. When they arrived one after another and the number reached 100, they brought everyone to me. You must be fast! do you understand? "

"Ah! Are you going to fight?!" The excited Harozov had to ask again.

Otto patted him on the shoulder at the right time: "My brother, we will attack, and the victory belongs to us. But I am not a fool. I hope that all those who participate in the hunt can be in this distant place before Hanukkah. Enjoy a fight in the Uncharted. You know, that's what Odin wants."

Harozov nodded deeply: "I understand! Including my son, I must let him participate."

"Okay, but I hope the kids stay away because we don't know what those deer farmers are. I just want everyone involved to win without any injuries."

The deer breeders have appeared, and the rest is just waiting for the assembly of the team, and finally complete the victory with absolute strength.

For the next time, Otto himself became an old observer.

To tell the truth he has experienced many battles in his life with the Danes or Gotland, and with the few Novgorods who are unwilling to surrender.

The Danes are on equal footing with themselves, and with the right tactics, the Ross tribe always wins.

Of course, this kind of victory is not so dignified, Otto is better at using tricks, he is a very pragmatic person. He didn't like the two groups of people gathered in one place, and then the two armies hedged with a roar, and finally turned into a savage fight between the two groups.

The fight was unorganized, and in the end both sides suffered heavy losses.

So stupid! The Ross tribe couldn't take such casualties.

Otto likes to hide his men, and when the enemy lets down his guard, he strikes hard, and a surprise attack can always lead to a major victory.

The enemy called him shameless, and the tribal leaders of his allies were also questioning that this kind of behavior brought shame to the ancestors of the Ross tribe and shame to the Siya tribe alliance.

Otto doesn't care so much, as long as it's victory, why bother with so many strange etiquette?

But against other groups, why not use sneak attack tactics?

After another whole day of observation, Otto was pleasantly surprised to find that the deer keepers were moving on the snowfield far away in front of his hiding place, and the deer were grazing temporarily in this area.

He also made a very accurate judgment that the deer farmers' homes were not only in the woods in the distance, but their population was definitely not large.

To verify your guess, in fact, as long as you sneak past it at night, you can investigate carefully.

After all, Otto was fifty years old. If he was a stunned young man, he would have really touched it.

He strictly ordered his subordinates to observe carefully for the time being, and dared to go to investigate. If the deer breeder ran away from the grass and alarmed the snake, the responsibility would be borne by this person.

As for the result of the punishment, it is more simple and rude.

The so-called "you let go a large group of prey that should belong to the tribe, and now you have to apologize to death".

No one dared to disobey the leader's orders. Otto did hold real power in the tribe, and everyone supported the leader very much.

A good hunter is always calm, just like a dragon-headed warship floating on the sea, the rower throws the iron hook tied with hemp rope into the water, and the rest is to wait quietly for the fish to bite the hook and fish. One must have good patience.

Otto is also very patient, and he has great courage.

The agreed ten-day hunting period is bound to exceed, and now who else thinks they should go home when the time is up?

Pooh!

Those guys who are scattered hunting in the rear, each of them has a different harvest. More than 100 people caught more than 10 wild reindeer, which is really not good.

After the deer skin was peeled off, they gathered together to roast the venison and ate it, because the reserved jerky was emergency food and could not be eaten right away.

The Ross tribe cherishes food very much. Except for the intestines of the deer, which cannot be properly handled in the wild, they have basically eaten the other internal organs of the deer. Things will freeze to death themselves.

In addition to deerskins, the most harvested, of course, are ferret skins, forest cat skins, squirrel skins, and even some fox skins, all of which are invaluable.

Some people felt that their harvest was enough, and they returned to the camp one after another. Because the leader has not returned, everyone dared not rush to evacuate. Also because the leader took the bravest twenty men who claimed to be searching for the huge herd, and they seemed to be able to succeed.

The results are of course positive.
