The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 After half a month of busy work, the city of Herut ushered in the true spring of Vinland in 1629.

　　 Seabirds are flying in the sky, and the trees are sending out green shoots. Standing in the shade of the trees, you can observe the ponds and the trees everywhere, with small animals such as beavers and squirrels cautiously foraging for food.

When hunting, the Vikings used weapons such as bows, arrows, and muskets to deal with reindeer and white wolves. To catch small animals such as beavers and beavers, they used traps and traps. However, because Wenlan Island is rich in resources, there are a large number of species. Even though they have been over-hunting for many years, some small beasts can still be seen in the wild by careful observation.

　　The area of ​​Wenlan is too large. In fact, the only areas that are actually developed by humans are Herut City, Great Falls, and Bakkens Long Lake. The rest of the mountains and forests are still dominated by various animals.

　　 Entering March, people with high nautical skills such as Hadar, Hagrid, Hudik, etc. have felt that the Caribbean warm current has become active as the temperature warms up, and the warm wind blowing from the southwest has become more and more obvious.

　　 Many years of experience tell them that the day to set sail has arrived.

After the first Viking Raidan leadership meeting in 1629, Hadar could not elect to appoint Pikku and provided him with enough food. He ordered three armed merchant ships to carry supplies and an Atang’s. The Vikings and more than 500 white wolf warriors went to colonize Greenland.

Since Greenland lacks trees, it is equivalent to lack of wood, so Inuit people live in igloos or caves on glaciers. Hadar knew that wood is a consumable in Greenland, so Picku was allowed to carry enough to build in Greenland. Room living wood.

So Pikku began to lead more than one hundred Ekismos and more than four hundred white wolf warriors after accepting the appointment to prepare for the expedition, such as collecting various items that may be used and carrying food at the same time. , Wood, etc.

Three days later, everything was properly prepared. Atang of more than one hundred people under Pikku's administration moved into a boat with his family and his mouth. In addition to their belongings and slaves, he also carried three white Vikings who were good at breeding. These three are farmers in the Irish landlord ranch. They have grown up on the ranch. They are best at the domestication and stocking of animals, and they can also deal with some animal diseases. They are indispensable talents for the development of aquaculture after the colonization of Greenland.

　　 This ship carried more than two hundred people, plus the stuff was almost full.

The other two ships were loaded with goods such as timber, food, and more than 500 white wolf warriors who were still slaves. They were all slaves of Hadar and Hagrid, but the management authority was temporarily granted to Pikku. If they can successfully conquer all the aboriginal people of Greenland, Hadar promised them that those with outstanding merits will be rewarded with "encouragement", that is, to become the highest-ranking Viking and become a subject under the management of General Hadar Raidang. , And no longer a slave.

After the three armed merchant ships left the bay in the south of Groot, Hadar continued to lead the tens of thousands of people in the city to hunt and brew maple syrup. At the same time, the Thor's Hammer, Hope, and Hunsai Clippers also began to travel in Vinland. Cod is caught in the eastern sea to make dried fish.

The movement of reproductive and industrial development is still being carried out inside and outside Vinland Island. Under the leadership of the three captains of Hilter, Buren and Polly, three armed merchant ships have left the waters near Vinland Island and started to go to Greenland in the north. The island is close.

　　 A few days later, the three ships arrived on the south coast of Greenland and stopped temporarily.

Northern Greenland belongs to the coldest uninhabited land. Even the hardest Inuit people live in the central and southern regions. Only a few hundred kilometers or a hundred kilometers around the coast can live in this vast land for humans and animals. , And further down is the glacier.

Pikku lives on the east coast of Greenland. However, due to the cold current of the Arctic Ocean, the temperature on the east coast is higher than that on the west coast. There are also many ice floes on the east coast, which is not conducive to the navigation of ships. When the Vikings colonized Greenland, their stronghold was also established at the southern end.

It is currently mid-March. From the north of Wenlan to the north, it is still a severe winter below zero. The floating ice that can be seen everywhere on the east coast has not melted, so ships cannot pass, and the Inuit people on the east coast are far away. It is less than the West Coast, which is obviously not a good place to build a stronghold.

The night before Olaf’s trip to Pikku, the master and servant had a chat indoors in the middle of the night. Olaf knew that Pikku was good at learning and was very brave and sincere. He was a rare and good helper, and he was not willing to let him. Leaving, but in order for Greenland to be included in Vinland's scope, Olaf can only do his best to guide Pikku.

　　 Olaf didn’t know much about Greenland in his previous life. He only knew that it was a free state that was clamoring for the founding of a nation. It also had a lot of resources, but it was not something that could be developed now.

　　 Olaf knew that Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, was in the south of the west coast. Since the Danes chose to establish a colony there two hundred years later, and became the capital in later generations, it shows that Nuuk is definitely the most suitable place to establish a colony.

　　Pikku firmly remembered the many words the owner told him that night, and on the second day after arriving in Greenland, he set off again northward, preparing to find a place called "Nuk".

　　Nuk is an Inuit language promontory. Pikku looks east from the deck every day, hoping to see a huge promontory.

　　 At noon the next day, Picco finally saw a huge headland appearing on the northeast coast, and a huge strait appeared on the south side of the headland.

　　 When the ship approached Piccolo, I realized that this was not a promontory, but a huge island, which stood high above the sea and had a vast area.

From the south of the island to the east, you can see several promontories protruding. It is very suitable for the passage of boats and boats, and it is also easy to stop depending on the terrain. Pickku thought for a moment and thought that this might be Nuuk, so he ordered the boats. Lean in.

　　 More than an hour later, the three big ships found a natural harbor with a concave shape that was very suitable for docking.

After the ship docked, Pikku stood on the ship and could see a dozen or twenty tents made of whale skin and whale bones on a hillside in the distance. They were swollen like women’s **. The estimated distance is Four or five thousand steps away, maybe further.

　　 Seeing the whale tent, Pikku knew that this must be the territory of a big tribe, because the big shaman leaders who can live in the whale skin tent.

"Women and children don’t get off the boat. Five hundred white wolf warriors and Viking men will disembark with me. Everyone put on leather armor, plate armor, and weapons. Let’s first conquer the Akismo tribe nearby, and then tonight You can live in a warm whaleskin tent!"

　　 Piccolo laughed and yelled loudly to stop the Akismo women on the boat to pack their belongings and follow the men to disembark, and then gave the first command to arrive in Greenland.

　　 More than five hundred white wolf warriors dressed in white wolf leather jackets, jackets given by Hadar, and armed with sharp iron tools such as swords and spears, assembled on the shore.

　　 Fifty Ekismo warriors also put on the full-body plate armor brought from the ship, and then stood beside the white wolf warrior with their spears. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

　　Pikku and the three captains of Hilter, Buren, and Polly also put on plate armor, and then each carried a matchlock with a short spear and a large axe between their waists.

　　 Hadar did not give Pikku a musket for this expedition to Greenland, but only gave him plate armor, leather armor, spears, long swords and other weapons and equipment.

　　 Now Pikku’s arquebus was personally gifted by Olaf for his body protection. The Hilt’s muskets were obviously also weapons rewarded by Hadar.

Although the Hilts were only the captains who sent Pikku to Greenland, there was no difference in the status of the two parties, and the three did not need to help Pikku in the war, but not to say that Pikku was Hadar's private slaves, just for the sake of The trio of Viking Raid’s expedition victory and the interests of Groot City will not stand by.

Pikku also knew that the three white men of his own age were all the confidants of Hadar and Hudik. They also showed humility in getting along with them for many days. As the team was assembled, Pikku invited Xi The three people of Ert gave the order, and the three of Hilt also knew that the leader and governor of the expedition to conquer Greenland was Pikku, so they all declined and said they would obey the arrangement.

Pikku was no longer polite, pointing to the hillside in the distance, and said: "On that hillside is an Akismo tribe with a population of no more than fifty people, but it does not rule out the possibility of close to a hundred people. So please be more vigilant. Before they react, everyone marches quickly. When they get closer, the Viking soldiers will attack from the front and the White Wolf Warriors attack from the side!"

Pikku has studied the formations and tactical command of Hadar, Hagrid, and Hudik. Now that he has learned how to do so, and his orderly manner, the three people of Hilt are a little convinced. They feel that General Hadar sent Pipi. Koku's arrival seemed to be a deliberate decision.
