When he first met Rostislav, Adam was very surprised, because the ruler of Russia looked very young, as if he was not much older than him, but he had achieved so many achievements.
At that time, Adam already had some admiration for Rostislav in his heart, and he regarded him as a role model, hoping to reach his height.
But he still remembered Aleph's words, that is, to always be cautious and vigilant towards Rosti.
However, what Adam expected was that Rostislav and his wife were very kind to him, but in his heart he was still somewhat alienated from Rostislav.
These barriers did not affect his understanding of what kind of person Rostislav was. With these understandings, Adam sighed more and more, this person was really not comparable to him.
And these barriers had been lifted in the previous conversation.
After the dismissal, Adam viewed Rostislav even more complexly. This man was so charming and convincing, both on the battlefield and in interactions with others.
Since Adam went into exile, it can be said that he has never trusted anyone, not even Alaire, who escorted him all the way to Ross.
But for Rostislav, he now has complete trust.
For Rostislav, whom he completely trusted, Adam was sure that this man would definitely achieve great achievements in the future, and he had decided that he would follow this man no matter what.
While Adam was thinking about his experiences over the years and Rostislav's future, Rostislav was concentrating on enjoying the performance below.
The entertainment in this era is very limited. Most of the time, in addition to creating people, we also create people, but after a long time, we will get tired of creating people.
Moreover, Zoe was fed a little too much during this period, and Zoe has been reluctant to feed recently.
Rostislav had been traveling for such a long time on his previous expeditions, and he was feeling a bit depressed along the way.
Then once he was released, although he was a little embarrassed at first, he became very addicted after that. Now Rostislav was the dissatisfied one.
So Rostislav had no choice but to find other work. He would get tired of writing for a long time, so he could only go to the theater.
In particular, these plays are more or less influenced by him, and the current performance paradigm was thought up by him, Rostislav, who also gave Alexei many ideas.
Watching the crowd fluctuate under Alexei's dramatic command, Rostislav felt a sense of accomplishment as if his work had been recognized.
Moreover, there is a kind of pleasure in his heart that changes the times. This kind of pleasure is indescribable and incomprehensible to others. For example, Adam is looking at Rostislav smiling in confusion.
It's just that the drama ends after all. With the ruthless passage of time, the drama finally draws its final curtain.
No matter how reluctant everyone was, they finally walked towards the moment when all members of the troupe lined up on the stage to thank the audience. This moment meant that the day's performance was over.
And just when everyone was about to leave, suddenly, a deafening horn sound sounded from the third floor. The horn echoed throughout the theater and could not dissipate for a long time.
This horn attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was startled, and then they all looked in the direction where the horn sound came from.
Then, what they saw was Gvalan, the captain of Rostislav's soldiers, standing in the royal box, holding the horn that made a loud sound in his hand.
Behind Rostislav was Adam Doulu with a look of panic and confusion.
He was panicked because he just saw Rostislav just knocking on the chair, and then the fully armed captain of the soldiers rushed out and blew the horn in the box.
What he didn't understand was why Rostislav did this? Did he want to see this scene for himself?
"My people, I am Rostislav Vladimirovich Rurik, son of Vladimir, grandson of Yaroslav, and ruler of Moscow."
Rostislav's words were sonorous and powerful, filled with the majesty of a prince.
Everyone in the theater kneeled down subconsciously to pay tribute to their prince.
The same goes for the nobles and wealthy businessmen on the second and third floors. They knelt down without hesitation to show obedience and loyalty to their prince.
The same was true for everyone on the stage. In fact, they knelt down immediately.
As the owners of the troupe, they immediately realized that the sound came from the prince's box, so this must be the prince's will, and he only needed to obey it.
Alexei felt a little nervous inside, and he was a little afraid of what would happen next. The prince was obviously going to announce something very important here.
And Rostislav looked at all this with great satisfaction, because it was a reflection of his authority, and it was also very beneficial for what he was going to say next.
However, like Adam, their hearts were filled with all kinds of puzzles. What did the prince want to do? Many people cast puzzled looks.
Rostislav, on the other hand, ignored those puzzled looks and continued.
"Everyone, we haven't had a war for five years. I want to ask, do you still want war? Do you still want to get those trophies on the battlefield that you can't earn in ten lifetimes? Do you want to fight in one night through war?
Do you want to become a noble in time? Do you want to make a fortune and become a millionaire?"
Rostislav's words made everyone ready to move. Many people began to whisper, and most of them were optimistic about the war.
Only the prince of Moscow could achieve such an effect. For many years Rostislav had not lost a single battle, and those who followed the army basically made a fortune.
There are still many veterans here who remember the scene when they followed the prince on the expedition. These people even told the people around them how they took away a lot of loot back in the day.
Rostislav just looked at the discussion below. He needed to heat up the atmosphere, and when the atmosphere reached the level he needed, Rostislav continued.
"Now, I want to announce an important news here."
After saying this, Rostislav paused to make sure that everyone's attention was on him.
"I will launch a conquest against Bulgar today today, that is, in October 1062, so that the orthodox heir of Bulgar beside me, Adam Dulu, who has usurped the throne by the usurper, can regain the throne."
"And Lord Adam has converted to our future Christ. He has announced that after regaining the Bulgarian power, he will lead his country to convert to Christ. From then on, Rus and Bulgaria will become friendly neighbors under the same faith. In the future,
Whether it is communication or trade, it will be easier."
"So for this conquest that will have a huge impact on our future, I declare that anyone can join my army, and I will send out most of the forces in my hands. We will send out troops in October of 1062
Bulgar, everyone can get wealth, everyone can get rich, everyone can get wealth, everyone can prove themselves on the battlefield!"
Rostislav's words were like throwing a bomb in the crowd. Few people cared about those political words, they only heard one meaning.
A war is about to begin, and it will be a big fight, and the entire Russian army will be recruited.
The nobles and wealthy businessmen heard more. They heard the prince's promise for smooth trade routes, which was still very tempting to them. After all, if they could control Bulgar, then they could also travel on the Volga trade route.
The farther you go, the more you earn.
There is no doubt that everyone here is full of trust in Rostislav, and many people who intend to participate in the war even begin to enjoy the scene after victory.
In the end, unified cheers sounded, which were cheers for Rostislav. In such cheers, Rostislav felt as if he was a god.
The Prince of Moscow did not mind the impression that announcing the date of dispatching troops would bring, because this was his strategy, and he wanted to use upright force to press the Volga country.
