Chapter 791: Wilderness Pursuit
After Tang Zhangwei saw Bai Cunxiao leave on the big wooden bird, he and Catherine began to pursue the Viking tribe.
Day after day, they pursued the Viking tribes that had opposed them.
The three main rebel tribes of the Vikings, plus two elite groups of sea thieves who had attacked Tang Zhangwei and Confucius, were pursued by Catherine's army of Ice Knights in the snow and ice.
Catherine's reindeer cavalry, and the cavalry of Siberian ponies with non-slip iron palms on their feet, pursued the Vikings on sleighs.
The Vikings who opposed Tang Zhangwei were miserable one by one, they didn't expect that they would be so embarrassed, they thought they could live such a hard life.
Actually, the Vikings didn't like to walk at all, they either took a sleigh or just sat in those canoes in the Arctic Ocean or glided in the water.
In fact, there are many huge polar bears in the water, these terrible creatures, may attack these Vikings at any time, but these Vikings don't know if they don't know how to be afraid, or if they are so tired that they don't know how to be afraid, anyway, these people are used to getting along with these terrible creatures.
In this sea full of polar bears and giant killer whales, the Vikings are at home one by one.
These Vikings were free, and they disdained all kinds of orders from the Tang Dynasty, so the officers of the Tang Dynasty always took pleasure in hunting these Vikings.
Of course, it's not always safe to chase the Vikings, and sometimes the Vikings can be dangerous when they fight back.
Many of the Tang immigrants who came to the Tang provinces of Northern Europe and the Polish provinces of the Tang Dynasty felt that the war with the Vikings was unnecessary and a waste of money.
The main reason why many Datang immigrants leave their homeland and come to the Polish province of Datang is because they can get land here.
Every Tang immigrant who came here could get two hundred acres of land, a horse, or a cow.
In Datang itself, people can only get a maximum of 20 acres of medium land, or 40 acres of barren land.
Tang Zhangwei still implements the rent regulation in the Tang Dynasty, and these people in the Tang Dynasty also have to eat.
Many people say that the land allocated to these people of Datang is for the stable supply of food in Datang, but in fact, in Tang Zhangwei's view, the main reason for providing land for the people is to ensure that they have a way to live and not to add trouble to themselves.
They spent a lazy day in the shade of the trees by the river. Later in the afternoon, Trist and Bruno had dinner and discussed their itinerary, leaving Wolfgar and Regis to sleep peacefully, at least until they had finished their portion.
"We're going to stay by the river for another night," Bruno said. "Then to the southwest crossed the vast plains. This will keep us from being hindered by the forest, and we will only have to follow a straight path after that. ”
"Maybe there will be a few days when we'd better only act at night!" Trist suggested. "We don't know which eyes have been following us since the City of a Thousand Sails."
"Agreed," Bruno replied. "Then let's go. It's a long road ahead of us, and there's still a long way to go! ”
"It's been too long." Regis muttered to himself, opening a wistful eye.
Bruno glared at him with a dangerous look. He was sensitive to the dangers that the trip had taken his friends on, and he had taken a defensive stance emotionally, feeling that all the complaints about the adventure were directed at him.
"Walk, I mean," Regis explained immediately. "There are some cottages around here, so there should be some horses too."
"Horses are too expensive around here." Bruno replied.
"Maybe ......," said the halfling evilly, and his friends could easily guess what he was thinking. They all frowned, reflecting the general opposition.
"We have a cliff ahead of us!" Regis argued. "Horses can run faster than orcs, but if we don't have horses, we'd have to stop and fight every mile! In addition, this is only a borrowing. When we came back again, we gave the horses back to them. ”
Trist and Bruno disagree with the halfling's suggestion of a bad idea, but they can't deny his logic. At this juncture of travel, horses are really helpful to them.
"Shake him awake." Bruno growled.
"And what about my plans?" Regis asked.
"When we have an opportunity, we make a decision!"
Regis was relieved, believing that his friends would choose to have horses. He ate his meal, put together the leftover waste, and woke Wolfgar up.
Soon they were on the road, and after a while they saw the lights of the small village in the distance.
"Take us there," Bruno told Trist. "The glutton's plan might be worth a try."
Wolfgar had not heard their conversation in the tent, so he could not figure out what was going on, but he did not say a word, nor did he ask the dwarf what was going on. After his misfortune in the bent shortsword, he transitioned himself to a more passive role on this trip, leaving the other three to decide which path to take. He will follow without complaint, and keep his hammer in a state of readiness for when it is needed.
They walked several miles from the river into the land, and then they saw several fields crammed into a sturdy wooden hedge.
"There are some dogs in this area." Trist noticed, with his particularly sensitive ears.
"Let the glutches go in on their own." Bruno said.
Wolfgar's face was tangled in confusion, especially as the halfling didn't seem to be intimidated by the idea. "I don't allow that to happen." The barbarian said with imposingness. "If there's one of us who needs protection, it's this little man. I'm not going to hide here in the darkness when he's in danger! ”
"He went in alone," Bruno said again. "We're not here to fight, kid. The gluttonous is going to get some horses. ”
Regis laughed helplessly, as he was completely caught in the trap that Bruno had set for him. Bruno would allow him to take possession of the horses, as Regis insisted, but reluctantly agreed based on his personal courage and responsibility. It's a way for dwarves to talk about themselves when they're involved in bad things.
Wolfgar was still resolute on the halfling's side, but Regis knew that the young warrior might inadvertently cause him trouble in such a situation that required careful handling. "You stay here with the others." He explained to the barbarians. "I can handle this on my own."
