The banquet was very joyful, but for those who failed to participate in the battle and failed to obtain the spoils, the banquet was quite unpleasant, and the food and wine in their hands did not taste so good.
Those people received so much trophies and rewards from princes, but they still had nothing, not even their share in plundering corpses.
Seeing the show off of those who have earned enough gold, the anger in my heart is getting bigger and bigger. Some people even plan to kill people and steal goods. The most indispensable thing in this army is murderers and robbers, but now the environment is different. In the army,
Robbery is courting death, and no one will allow such people to live.
They wanted to join the war, but they could only wait on the river bank. The last batch of people who crossed the river got the spoils, but they had nothing.
This made them uncontrollably complain to the prince. If the prince hadn't sent them for a long time, how could they not catch up with the battle.
These people definitely didn't dare to say it openly and only dared to say it privately, but this was enough to express their dissatisfaction. They didn't know the overall strategy or the form of fighting. They only knew that the prince did not make them rich.
In the meeting where these people complained, some people suddenly thought, didn't the prince ask them to collect supplies?
Then this is a good opportunity. Everyone knows that with the end of Akkadian's main force, his rule is gone, and it is unlikely that there will be any force that can threaten them on Bulgar's land.
This suddenly reminded everyone that everyone is aware of this good way to make money. If you go to Bolgar's village and rob, you will make a lot of money, and you can also kill people to vent your incompetence.
Catch up on the depression of fighting.
So after the banquet, Rostislav suddenly found that many people signed up to collect food, and some soldiers reported that many teams left the military camp without permission from the prince.
After all, many people came to Bulgar just for the purpose of robbery. They are forest dwellers who are not afraid of anything. They naturally go their own way and do not have any psychological pressure on murder and robbery, not to mention that this time they killed aliens who did not understand the language.
Believers.
At that time Rostislav did not take everything to heart. After the victory, Rostislav became a little numb and relaxed.
Moreover, at this time, he subconsciously disliked the things in the complicated military camp. He did not take a closer look at it and simply ignored it.
And soon, Rostislav will regret his decision very much. He will regret it to the extreme. What these people will do is beyond his imagination.

"Infidel, quickly take out all your belongings! We are recruiting, do you understand? Hurry up and hand over all your belongings. Things have changed in Bulgar!"
In a village not far from the Winter Army, a group of Ross troops arrived.
A few of them wore chainmail and armor made of iron sheets, but most of them only wore dirty cotton clothes. If it weren't for the weapons in their hands, they might have been regarded as a group of beggars.
But these people have the flag of Rurik's Trident, which undoubtedly indicates their identity. Of course, the most convincing thing must be the swords in their hands. Even if they are actually beggars, they are still a group of armed people.
Beggars, and many of them have killed many people.
The villagers did not run away immediately when they saw them, because Adam's messenger had already come to tell them about the change of power, and said that those people were friendly forces and would not harm them.
So as usual, the Bulgars in this village sent the supplies they prepared. This has always been the rule.
Although they had already been exploited once by the people of Aqad, they still squeezed out these things because they understood that the new victors would not pay attention to the expropriations of the old rulers, so they still kept the last things.
Take it out.
Anyway, winter is over and spring is coming soon, so we can still make do with the rest of the day.
But after collecting these supplies, these Russians did not leave. Instead, they gathered all the villagers in the village square, and then a Russian speaking Bulgarian spoke those words.
Although there are not many Russians who can speak Bulgarian in the Winter Army, there are still a lot of them. After all, the Russians on the west bank of the Kama River have basically been absorbed into the Winter Army, and the Russians have also liberated many Russian slaves, so these people come out to move around.
There is no shortage of translators in the Russian troops.
"But we have handed over everything."
The village elder came out to speak, but all he got was a horizontal slash with a knife, and then he fell in front of the villagers amidst the exclamations and screams of the villagers.
"Do I need to say it a second time? Take out all the valuable things, or do you want me to sell you all into slaves? And your slaves must be liberated and follow us away!"
Having said this, everyone naturally understood what was going on with this group of people. Faced with the sword, they had to take out all the money at home, and then all the money was loaded on the sled brought by the Russians.
As a village in the hinterland of Bulgaria, there are many good things in this village. Many daily necessities have never been seen by these Russian soldiers, so naturally they were packed away.
The Russians were like a swarm of locusts, taking away everything in the village. Even the carvings on the beams that looked good had to be removed by them.
Before the Rus came, this village was a wealthy Bulgar village, but after the Rus left, the villagers found that they had lost most of their wealth and had nothing.
The only ones who were happy were the slaves in the village. Their status as slaves was liberated, and they could also take something from their master's house as compensation. This was something they had never dared to think about before.
When these Rus people left, their leader looked into the distance, because there were fires shooting into the sky, which made the leader couldn't help but sigh.
"God, I didn't expect them to just start robbing and killing. They were much more ruthless than us."
At the same time, he felt some arrogance in his heart. These guys are so stupid. Smart people should just take things like him and kill at most a few intimidating people. In this way, they can return to the military camp smoothly, and no one can do anything about it afterwards.
They find fault with themselves.
Then the leader saw a group of Ross troops who were more beggars than they were walking towards their village. Seeing these people, the leader immediately knew what they were here for.
"Guys, this place has been expropriated. Let's move to another place."
The leader had to be a little moral after taking the money, at least to cope with other Ross troops, but what he didn't expect was that this group of people did not come purely for wealth.
"Fuck the collection, it's just for killing people and girls, get out of here!"
There was a violent response from the other side, and then the group of people drove past them, and the appearance of this group of people as they walked in was even uglier. They were all lean, wearing hard leather and robbed clothes.
ill-fitting armor.
"Damn it, it's a group of forest dogs."
Hearing that voice, the leader knew who they were. They were a group of serious "forest dwellers" who lived in a serious old forest. They probably would do robberies on weekdays.
Pedestrians passing by would not come out if it were not for the temptation of the prince.
"Boss, are we going to stop those guys?"
A voice sounded behind the leader, obviously coming from a young man.
"Standing back those guys? Looking for death? And why should we die for strangers?"
The leader replied without thinking and continued to mutter.
"Besides, those dogs in the forest are famous for their ruthlessness and cruelty. I want to bring everyone back home safely instead of letting them be buried here."
"But didn't we confiscate their supplies..."
The man continued, and the leader's face clearly showed dissatisfaction. Why is this kid so ignorant? Who wants to fight with those bandits in the forest.
"We are just collecting supplies, that's all. We don't have any other obligations, let alone protecting them. That is what that pretty guy should take care of, so we can just leave."
After saying that, the leader left here with his men and the sled loaded with various gold and silver supplies. Behind them, there were bursts of screams, including many horrific sounds, but these Russians didn't even take a second look.
