I'll go there and tell him about it..."

"Father... you..." Carlotta was beating in her heart as she listened.

After all, Otto was almost seventy years old. Even if his health was getting worse day by day, if he continued to hide in a warm house like this, he might be able to live to the age of seventy, or he might die quietly in the mansion without the grandeur of a warrior's death.

He no longer expects to live too long, and his position as the Supreme King has essentially become a mascot for intimidation, just to let all the nobles know that there is still a distinguished person guarding the rear after the King's expedition.

.

"Kagan." Otto hurriedly changed the subject, "I know you are going back this year to inherit the throne. From now on, you...really rarely come to the north?"

The short Kagan slowly raised his round head. He first called Otto "father" in the still somewhat broken Norse language, and then added the suffix "Khan".

"That's why I can't move between the south and the north for a long time. I am the prince of Pecheneg. If I don't inherit the position before my biological father's soul passes away, there must be someone who wants to dominate the power and call himself khan. A civil war said

It might happen. In order to avoid that kind of thing, I... must leave."

"Ah, that is your destiny. You have to tell your brother Rurik about this matter. What happens in the future is yours, and I want your blessing."

"Thank you, Father." That's all. Kagan covered his heart with his right hand and knelt down, bowing his head deeply in salute.

Kagan behaved very well in the territory of Rus. He led his cronies to rob Smolensk. Even though he had arrogant soldiers, he did not commit any crime in the Novgorod area. The Pecheneg cavalry used armed merchants to attack Smolensk.

In the form of a group, they maintain a completely opened north-south trade line with the Krivich armed merchant group in Kiev. They are purely doing business, and even the Pechenegs have been staying at the southernmost end of Yin Ermen Lake for a long time.

It is necessary not to go to the settlement area in the northern part of the lake.

The people did not reject these outsiders who did not destroy fields, trample seedlings, or steal. They also looked forward to their continuous supply of the best slaves.

Kagan, like his men, was stationed in the camp outside the city. Based on the principle of coming as he came, he brought his own expenses and purchased goods in the restored and prosperous city of Novgorod.

They were waiting here, and they didn't wait much longer.

The free-range children on the northern river bank were the first to see the sudden appearance of a large number of masts and the flying Ross flag on the Volkhov River.

A large number of dragon-headed longships were moving backwards, with countless paddles rising and falling regularly, and the sails being tied up. The warriors were still advancing at a relatively high speed using pure manpower, but no one could stop.

In Novgorod, there is a family, the queen and the prince, the old king and the queen mother, countless cronies, and their own great ambitions.

Rurik simply drew the prize in person as a king, and took the lead in the cause of paddling like an old Russian.

Sitting in a dragon-headed long boat and paddling for long distances is an unchangeable ancestral tradition. His arms always started to feel sore, but he still tried hard.

Because fields appeared on both sides of the bank that were supposed to be deserted, as well as a few people watching a show on the bank and calves grazing leisurely.

"Finally home!" King Rurik roared, and ordered: "Paddle quickly! Unite with your family!"

The last words were the last words to appeal. The soldiers performed meritorious service on the battlefield and proved to Odin and the gods that they were real men. The large amount of trophies they grabbed were ultimately meant to improve their lives. They wanted to prove it to their wives, children and parents.

What is a man.

Rurik's flagship accelerated under his personal control. The fleets stared at the flagship, and the entire fleet, which had transformed into a long snake formation, began to accelerate.

Finally, the people of Novgorod heard the distant roaring sound of horns from the north, accompanied by the sound of drums. A large number of people gathered at the dock to welcome the triumphant army.

Old Otto put on his gilded helmet again. Unlike when he received the cavalry before, he shouted to the attendant: "Bring me my gilded armor! I want to receive my son in a uniform!"

The attendants did not dare to disobey, but Otto was really old. His armor and stomach were quite heavy, and he finally arrived at the shore with the help of his attendants. He seemed to be able to stand up on his own, but in fact he had two strong attendants all the time.

Pull the belt on both sides and pull the whole person up.

In the eyes of the people, the reclusive old king was still a brave man, but his gray beard had lost the majesty of thirty years ago.

His golden armor was really dazzling in the sun. Queen Lanna was holding Prince Osborne, and behind her were a group of harem wives and concubines holding their own children. Even the top scribe, Ella, was holding

His son has arrived.

It is undeniable that Otto's clothes attracted the most attention. The expedition soldiers who were approaching the city saw the man made of gold at the dock from a distance. Who was he? Who has such domineering armor?!

That is Otto, the old leader of Ross. He is so tough despite his age. After all, he is also a person given a mission by Odin!

Otto became like a beacon because of his golden armor. Rurik saw this old man from a distance and couldn't help but sigh to himself: "You are the real ruthless person after all."
