Spring came, and overnight, the icy cold wind stopped blowing, and the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated.

The snow is slowly melting, and it is melting faster and faster, and soon the dark and fertile earth on the ground will be revealed, and the nourishment contained in it is the hope of the whole world.

But the arrival of spring brings more than just hope and a revival of life, as the temperature rises, the snow melts faster and faster, and the collection of rivers soon forms a flood that engulfs everything.

Because of the last year's incessant snowstorm, which had rained almost the entire winter, it had turned into the most terrible of calamities, and in Scandinavia, the plains east of the Norwegian mountains, had become an ocean, and only a few of the occasional higher terrain were unaffected.

The most affected by this flood was the Attila army that was still resting outside Uppland, and their westward march had to be stopped again, although because of the arrival of spring, their supplies were largely relieved, and the beasts that woke up from hibernation and the fish in the flood fed the hungry warriors, but the river also made it difficult for them to move an inch, so they could only stay on the high ground and wait for the flood to retreat, because even those white bears who were familiar with the nature of the water and could hunt giant whales in the sea could not stay in the water for a long time。

It was not only Attila's army that was unlucky, but also the Scandinavians in Upland who suffered a catastrophe, they did not know how many plans, fantasized about how many crises, but the only thing they didn't expect was that the spring that they thought could bring a turn for the better also made them into a desperate situation, just like being pulled by a ghost, half of their bodies were already outside the cliff, and the whole person fell uncontrollably by this water.

The Scandinavian warriors now occupy the northern position, and the northern part of Uppland is the lowest part of the city, where the drains of the underground waterways are built.

When the temperature rises and the snow melts, countless amounts of water flow into the underground waterways, and although the underground waterways built by the Yayat people are very wide, there is no way to drain the entire city at once.

Countless supplies were soaked in stagnant water, and many warriors who had no time to escape drowned in the sewer room in embarrassment, and the remaining warriors who escaped had to face the famine and plague that followed after losing their supplies.

Not only that, but the ghost crisis has not yet been resolved, and as the temperature rises, snakes, insects, rats and ants also begin to appear, which makes their lives more difficult.

What's more, the sewer outlet that traded with the Baltic Empire was also flooded, and they no longer had a way to communicate with the Baltic Empire through that channel, and they could no longer get material support from the Baltic Empire.

The elves who were unfit for such an environment were no longer visible here, and in such a terrible environment, even if they stayed, it would be useless, so Siegmund granted their request to leave the place and go to the Norwegian mountains.

The same is true for dwarves, dwarves who like to live in dry and hot underground also don't like such a humid environment, when spring arrives, there is a large area of plague on the dwarves' bodies, and after consuming a lot of medicine, Zigmund also reluctantly agreed to their request to leave, and this also caused the siege equipment in Siegmund's hands to become disposable tools, and there is no way to repair the damage.

No, not only the dwarves and elves, but even the Scandinavians have chosen to leave, but unlike the elves and dwarves, these people completely ignored Siegmund's orders, but simply chose to become deserters, and the successive blows have made them completely hopeless about this war, and it is common sense to choose to leave in fear.

If the departure of the elves and dwarves was something that Siegmund had to nod his head to avoid a gap between the elven dwarves and the Scandinavians, then the deserters of the latter were a deliberate indulgence by Siegmund, or this also showed that the commander of this army, Siegmund also had no hope of victory.

The Scandinavian army, which had been entrenched in Uppland for a winter and fought against the Attila army, disappeared, and no one could have imagined that the straw that would eventually break the camel's back would be the spring flood, and even Sigmund with the sword in his hand could not do anything about it.

However, this victory was not what the Atila army wanted, because the flood destroyed the materials in the city, and the ghosts that would not go away for a long time became a difficult problem to solve, in addition to the trouble for the Atila army, the Scandinavians actually left the city through the sea, and finally left only a dead city of no value.

Although the army stationed in the city has disappeared, the warriors who make up this army have not perished, and it is conceivable that the next time the battle is fought, these warriors who have fought the Atila army for a winter will become the mainstay of the Scandinavian battlefield, and with their presence, the Scandinavian army will become even more difficult.

While the Atila army was still resting due to the floods, the Scandinavians who were living in the Norwegian forests did not have the heart to pay attention to what was happening in Upland, and they were building their new cities along the Norwegian mountains, or new settlements for temporary settlements, under the leadership of their king Siegel.

The floods that swept across Scandinavia did not affect the Scandinavians here, which is a cause for good fortune, but on the one hand, luck does not offset the misfortune on the other, and the beasts that have awakened from hibernation in the mountains and caves have become a nightmare that they cannot escape from.

Although every Scandinavian berserker is an expert hunter, and each of them has hunted an unknown number of beasts, the beasts that wake up in the spring are not easy to match, not to mention that the hunters who fight alone can only choose to temporarily avoid the edge in the face of hordes of wolves.

Think of the beasts that have reached the legend, waking up hungry and finding that their territory is actually occupied by food, what will be their first reaction?

And what kind of action will those beasts take when uninvited guests appear in the land where they once belonged to their own territory, and finally do not have nests inhabited by legendary overlords, and these uninvited guests have looted everything they can eat?

The beasts that have just woken up are hungry and their eyes are green, and there is no so-called reason in their brains, as long as they stand in front of them, prevent them from eating, they will become their enemies.

If the warriors and hunters could choose to stay away from the tide of beasts when hunting, then the important supplies and their relatives at the back of the camp forced them to choose to stand in front of the tide in the hope that they could resist.

A terrible tide of wild beasts poured towards the camp that the Scandinavians had spent a winter building, and the crowd that had not had time to flee was overwhelmed by the tide of beasts, except for the occasional strong man, the others became a white skeleton that had been gnawed away in an instant.

The resistance of the Scandinavians became so insignificant at this time that even the mighty berserkers disappeared like rain dripping from the surface of a lake in the face of hungry beasts.

The tide of beasts that had flooded the camp continued to rush towards the next Scandinavian camp, and although the camps made of wood were built according to the size of the barracks, and there were countless traps and moats around them, these defenses were a drop in the bucket in the face of the sudden tide of beasts, and the slight losses did not stop the beasts from advancing, but the smell of blood made these beasts crazy and fearless to death.

Moreover, they need to deal with not only ordinary beasts, but also a tide of beasts composed of simple and crazy beasts, and in the presence of spellcasters, they cannot be so desperate.

In the sky, wyverns, dragons, and other flying beasts soared, occasionally lowering their altitudes to spew dragon breath and magic into the crowd below, and in the face of such attacks, the caster's defenses were like fortresses made of sand on the beach, and the waves passed before disappearing without a trace.

Farther away, several mammoths like small hills were slowly advancing, behind them were a string of bloody footprints, some of the beasts that could not dodge were trampled to death, leaving the last traces of the world, in front of these behemoths, those walls that were simply built with wood inserted into the ground, it was impossible to resist a mammoth's charge.

On the other side, the snow monsters who woke up from the cave gathered together, these creatures with thick fur were originally only active outside in winter, and in other seasons they would hide in the caves of the snowy mountains, but because of the appearance of the Scandinavians, these snow monsters could not store enough food to survive the whole year in winter, forcing them to run out of the cave when the weather was not fully warmed up to find food, and the food collected by humans in the camp was their goal。

In the face of such an offensive, the Scandinavian camp did not last long to be breached, and to the cheers of the beasts, the food in the camp and the corpses on the battlefield fed them, and then continued to the next camp built by humans, and the beasts who tasted the sweetness decided to drive the invaders away from their homeland in one fell swoop.

In the end, the clothes and weapons that were left behind, except for a few good things that were treasured by the treasure-loving dragons, were burned to ashes, which was the idea of the dragons, who thought that if they did not destroy everything and erase it, then those humans would soon come back and would not give up their ambitions for the area.

Because of the arrival of spring and the revival of wild beasts, the entire Norwegian mountains have become battlefields of fighting, and in just one week, more than 100,000 Scandinavians have become the food for the beasts, and many more humans are scattered in the mountains.

During this period, Siegel did not fail to organize strong and elite troops to fight against those beast tides, but the result could only solve the temporary crisis, and could not completely solve the conflict between the two.

In the final analysis, it was because the Scandinavians exploited the resources of the mountain range too much in winter, and in order to prepare for the ensuing war with the Attilas, they gathered everything they could find, leaving the now awakened beasts with no way out.

On the contrary, in the eastern plains of Scandinavia, the beasts were busy dealing with the floods, fleeing towards the unaffected Norwegian mountains, and did not have the heart and energy to attack the Attila army who were resting near the city of Upplan, and many more beasts were buried by the flood.

The centaurs and gnolls who hunted for food for the army were very productive at this time, and when the flood forced the beasts to fight each other, the army gathered in groups easily hunted them, and after a full meal, the remaining food was transported back to Attila's army to become a reserve food for the rest of the war.

The same is true of the white bear people, they took off their armor and rushed into the water, countless fat big fish that had spent the winter were slapped up by them with powerful bear paws, and became food on the bonfire, and in just a few days, they re-accumulated the fat consumed in winter, which made them very happy, after all, the white bear without fat was weak in their eyes.

With plenty of food and a strong man in the camp who served the plague, the people of Attila who were besieged by the flood were not as difficult as they imagined, but were like a long dry land, nourished by the spring rains, and many of them temporarily forgot about the cruel war that had just ended, and immersed themselves in such a leisurely life.

However, the two knights and Attila did not realize that with the arrival of spring, the revival of everything, and the raging floods, the leisurely mood that appeared in the Atila army became a chronic poison that was slowly corroding the hearts of the entire army.

After a winter of fighting, the burning blood of many soldiers has begun to cool, and after the problem of food and clothing is temporarily solved, intelligent life begins to pursue involuntarily, such as missing their parents, wives and children at home, and missing every grass and tree in their hometown.

Ethics is not something that only human beings have, parents miss their children, children miss their parents, husbands miss their wives, these emotions will inevitably exist as long as they have wisdom, and they are indelible things engraved in the soul.

However, under the strictness of Atila, no one dares to make the slightest statement, let alone escape, with the style of the Atila army, if you run away on the battlefield, then not only will you die, but your relatives at home and even the entire tribe will be affected.

Moreover, the gossip had spread throughout the army before winter arrived, and it was said that the Scandinavian druids were still attacking weak villages and tribes in the rear, and that the druids had legendary powerhouses in their ranks, and even the death knights had fallen into the hands of the opposing side.

They didn't know if the news was true or not, they didn't know if their homeland and their tribe had been destroyed by the druids, they couldn't be sure if what they had walked was still meaningful, and they were in ruins or cheers from their loved ones when they returned home.

In the midst of such thoughts, the atmosphere of the barracks gradually became solemn, and the soldiers at the bottom were waiting for news from their hometowns, they wanted to know what was going on in the rear, whether those druids were still wreaking havoc, and whether their hometown was safe.

Originally, the dragons that soared in the sky every day suddenly disappeared, which made everyone start to feel uneasy, and it was difficult to suppress other thoughts, many people said that those dragons had left here to return to the empire to deal with the druids, and some people said that the dragons betrayed Attila and left unscathed by taking advantage of flight and night.

Not only that, but the White Bear Men who were Atira's personal guards were forbidden to go to the flood to catch fish for food, and they were divided into teams and patrolled the barracks in armor every day.

The mammoths were also forbidden to go out, concentrating on taking care of the mammoths without making a mistake.

The flying troops who had gone out to scout had returned, and in the absence of dragons in the sky, the dragons and thunderbirds were given rare freedom, and the roars and cries of the birds could be heard even at nightfall, making the warriors who had not disturbed their sleep even more grumpy.

"There are many ways to achieve this goal, but violence and war are the only ways to do it. ”

"There is never a winner in war, there is only the difference between losing more and losing less. ”

Alice, who was hidden in the camp of Attila, looked at the military camp that was on alert, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and the shallow smile was very pure, which made people think of the warm sunshine of spring for the first time.

Alice was still worried before, the Attila army began to march west after the end of winter, but in such a vast ocean of East Scandinavia, such worries are unnecessary, no matter how strong Attila is, she has no way to let hundreds of thousands of landlubbers survive in such an ocean.

However, since the Scandinavian Upland army led by Siegmund was wiped out by this flood and ghost, and the main Scandinavian army in the Norwegian mountains was also caught in a tug-of-war with the beast tide, it was necessary to find something for the Attira army to delay their advance.

It's not the first time she's done something like this, and it won't be the last, watering and fertilizing the little saplings that have taken root and sprouted has never been a difficult thing for people who have reached their level, not to mention that Alice herself is still a lich known for playing with souls.

Attila's barracks are so big, and finding someone like Alice among tens of thousands of people is tantamount to finding a leaf in a forest and a piece of gravel in a desert, which is very difficult for even a legendary spellcaster to do.

Moreover, Alice is not a magic that is easy to leave traces, and for ordinary warriors, a simple hypnosis can change their minds, or more simply, changing the position of some items can also make their hearts feel longing.

In order to find the clues of Alice in such a situation, Alice is confident that even she can't do it herself, and the only way to think of cracking it is a spell like [Wishing Technique], which requires a lot of money to use.

From the information she received, Alice confirmed that there was no spellcaster in the Attila army who could cast this type of spell, because of the perennial war, the casters here liked to delve into those spells that were more destructive.
