"Is that so? It's not unlike what you expected. ”

Semiramis put down the information from the Ural Mountains, which detailed the battle between Alice and Tutankhamen.

"Let Sigurd begin. ”

"I need him to destroy the United Kingdom and Barusenger in three days' time, and I don't want him to let me down. ”

Semiramis turned to the maid and commanded.

Although according to the information recorded in the intelligence, Alice is at a disadvantage, but in a battle at this level of their level, it is not possible to really decide the winner in a short time.

Now that the Siegmund siblings have confirmed their departure from Scandinavia, only Gom will be left alone, and the dwarves and elves have not yet completed their mobilization and have not really turned war potential into war power.

As a good ruler, Semiramis has no reason to give up such an opportunity, and at this time, he will also be able to contain the Siegmund brothers and sisters and relieve the pressure on the battlefield in the Ural Mountains.

"Kill. ”

Semiramis shouted into the clearing next to him.

The shadows squirmed, and the petite maiden stepped out of them

The purple-haired girl's worries about the battlefield in the Ural Mountains made her face not look good.

If she could, she hoped to follow Alice to that battlefield, and with the strength of her legendary assassin, she would surely be able to achieve remarkable results in the chaotic battlefield.

However, she is no longer the little girl who only relied on Alice in the past, she is now the head of the Imperial Intelligence Service, and the more critical it is, the more she can't panic.

Although the original intention has not changed in the slightest, the girl has grown into a girl, and her reason is telling her what kind of things to do when and when, not to be impulsive at will, not to be willful at will, to start from the whole, and the overall situation is important.

"Inside the city, what's going on. ”

Semiramis asked.

Her attitude is very calm, there is no excessive affection, there is no strange estrangement, the past grievances have become the awkwardness of the past, even without Alice's reconciliation, the two can still communicate normally.

"The goblins are not moving, and their energy is now focused on dealing with the loot of the former Attila Empire, as well as preparing for the next war. ”

Within the empire, there have been discordant voices from the beginning to the present, among which the goblins are the most slippery, and they will always work tirelessly to find the loopholes in the empire and rely on those loopholes to gain benefits.

However, on the other hand, these goblins who were originally forced to join the empire showed extreme loyalty to the empire at this time.

In the short term, they have indeed lost a lot of benefits because of the laws of the empire, but in the long run, relying on the atmosphere and strength of the empire, the wealth they can earn has multiplied.

Just this reason can make these goblins show their loyalty, and they can keep pace with the empire most of the time, and over time, these goblins will eventually be completely integrated into the empire, inseparable.

"There was no change on the part of the centaurs, and their chief had called the elders to a meeting, and although they were not happy with the loss of power, they were unwilling to ruin their present lives. ”

This is also the case with several other races. ”

In many cases, the external threat is not as good as the internal contradictions, and the strong outer walls cannot stop the internal bombs, and the Scandinavian Empire and the Attila Empire, which have become history, have such reasons that need to be taken as warnings.

These ethnic chiefs who joined the Baltic Empire were heavily monitored by the intelligence services without their knowledge to ensure that they did not cause trouble for the Empire.

People like rhinoceros, harpies don't pose any problems to the empire, they are the first race to join the empire, they are the basic plate of the empire, and the interests of the empire are their interests.

Centaurs, gnolls, mammoths, bears, and humans haven't been part of the empire for long, and it's these races that really need to be worried about, and they're not as loyal to the empire as they think.

After all, a sense of belonging still takes time to cultivate.

"A venomous snake without a head can't stir up any waves. ”

Semiramis put down the papers in his hand and sat down in his seat.

"Although it would be better to wait for all those rats to gather and make a move, what we need now is the stability of the empire, and the more critical it is, the more we can't mess up. ”

"People who understand naturally know what choices to make when to do it. ”

Even if the Baltic Empire is really defeated in the Ural Mountains this time, there is no possibility that the process in Scandinavia will fail.

Semiramis knew that Alice was a temporary defeat that only slowed down the growth of the empire, and there was no way to truly disintegrate.

The same is the state, the Baltic Empire is fundamentally different from the Scandinavian Empire and the Atila Empire, according to the nature of the country, the Scandinavian Empire and the Atila Empire are only slave countries, backward productive countries.

The Baltic Empire is completely different, in the current industrialization has been basically completed, has been opened to the outside world, not only in the surrounding territories, but also overseas colonies, just like the Celtic islands only separated by the North Sea, according to the current situation, it can really become a colony of the Baltic Empire in 20 years, maybe in 50 years, these three islands do not even need war, they will naturally become part of the empire.

Clan system, slave system, feudal system

Due to the existence of magic and gods, the gap between these three systems is not as great as imagined, but the development of productive forces and production relations is still not so easy to cross the chasm.

The order from Jutland Castle successfully crossed the Baltic Sea to Scandinavia in just two hours, and was in the hands of Sigurud.

Gustas became Sigrud's lieutenant to assist him in his conquest of the rest of Scandinavia, and the reason why he chose Sigrud over Gustas was not only due to the consideration of Sigrud's combat effectiveness.

Siegrud's ability to become commander was mainly due to the political significance of his status, which had already achieved the legitimacy of Barusenge when he defeated his father Siegmund.

In this day and age, legitimacy is still very effective, whether it is used to persuade a wavering enemy or to pacify an area that has already been occupied.

Siegrud gladly accepted the order from Jutland, and what Siegrud valued more than the country of Barusenge was the change brought about by the Scandinavian Empire, which brought a different future to this unusual, god-dominated world.

After receiving an order from Jutland, it took only 2 days for the Imperial Western Army in Scandinavia to complete the assembly and begin to advance towards the United Kingdom in the Norwegian mountains.

The United Kingdom, the Elven Kingdom, and the Dwarven Kingdom organized an army in a panic and hurried to the checkpoint at the foot of the Norwegian mountains to block the advance of the Imperial army.

In a hurry, they had gathered less than 10,000 troops, plus logistics troops and civilian workers, a total of 30,000 people, and according to previous combat experience, these 30,000 people had no way to stop the advance of the empire.

However, the situation was not so bad that it was about to collapse, and the castle standing in front of Sigrud's army was built by Siegel during the original Scandinavian Empire to block the attack of the Attila Empire.

After the United Kingdom replaced the Scandinavian Empire, the castle was still under attack by the Attila Empire, and the castle was repaired many times to become harder.

When the Attila Empire fell, the castle became the front line against the Scandinavian Empire, and there was enough food and ammunition stored inside.

Despite this, morale in the city was low, and with Siegmund and siblings heading to the Ural Mountains and Gom in the rear, the rest of the generals were not equipped to fight Siegrud.

Not only in terms of the ability to command the army, but also in their own combat ability, when they appear on the battlefield with their ability, they can easily be targeted.

For the current part of the United Kingdom, they have no way to bear the consequences of the death of their commander-in-chief, and with the quality and organizational structure of their army, the death of the commander-in-chief will inevitably cause an avalanche of collapse.

Siegrud led his army to the outskirts of the city, where they rested for only one night and began the siege during daylight the next day.

Looking out at the neat and tidy outside, they began to push catapults and ballistas forward, while the orcs and bears were already carrying ladders and preparing in the other direction.

Although this battle is still a little rushed, the Imperial troops gathered here have reached 50,000, and they are basically the old troops who participated in the destruction of the Attila Empire, and it is not an exaggeration to call them elite.

The city of the Combine was in disarray, and the dwarves began to adjust their equipment without taking orders, intending to fight the Baltic Empire's army here in a vigorous frontal battle.

Hopefully, they will be able to prove that their dwarves are more skilled by defeating the Empire on a frontal battlefield, and that they produce something that is inferior to those produced on the assembly line.

Seeing the dwarves leaving, the elves also had no intention of staying for a long time, due to personality reasons, the relationship between the elves and the dwarves has never been truly harmonious, and from the bottom of their bones, they have never really trusted humans, trusted the United Kingdom established by Gohm.

Even, among the elves at the bottom, many people are unwilling to participate in this war with the Baltic Empire, and they can't find any reason to participate in this war, not to mention that there are many elves in the Baltic Empire.

These elves were victims of the expansion of the Attila Empire, and after joining the Empire, they were protected by the laws of the Empire and given the power corresponding to their obligations.

The living environment is much better than it was at the beginning, and there is no need to worry about basic problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is no need to spend precious people to compete with other races.

It is really not easy for the entire race of elves and their poor fertility to continue in this cruel and dangerous world.

The man from the United Kingdom, who was nominally the commander-in-chief, watched the elves and dwarves leave with a pale face, but there was no way to do it, even Gorm could not do it, and he also had no way to do it, after all, his rights came from Gorm.

Now, the commander only hopes to be able to support the strong city walls for a little longer, just like in the previous battle with the Attila Empire, as long as there are no giant beasts such as Beamon or Mammoth on the other side, and only those siege engines are relied on to really break through such a strong city, there is no way to break the city in a short time.

After all, in such a place, such means as flooding and burning could hardly have a satisfactory effect in such weather, and the way of digging tunnels was even more unfeasible, and the United Kingdom strengthened not only the city walls, but also the land near the city walls.

If you have enough time, it is a better choice to build a mountain of earth, which has been used for many years and is still obsolete to suppress the enemies on the city walls.

At a distance of five hundred meters from the city walls, the catapults and ballistae stopped advancing, and skilled workers began to load ammunition, adjust the angle and wait for the order to fire.

Among the skilled workers are dwarves, who are not afraid to join the Baltic Empire and participate in this war, and these dwarves are already familiar with the environment of the Empire.

Sigurud had no intention of talking to the people in the city opposite, and gave the order to attack, and stone balls the size of houses fell towards the place where the city walls were.

The dwarves stationed in the city did not hesitate to fight back, and with the cover of the walls, they were much more at ease, as was the case with the walls intact.

Rather than focusing on the city, he had his generals lead their armies to attack other cities in the United Kingdom.

He needs to burn the flames of war into the enemy's territory as much as possible, and drag the enemy into the rhythm of the war as much as possible, this method may risk being broken by the enemy individually, but from another point of view, this method can also get the most results in the shortest time.

There is no way, Semiramis's three-day statement is indeed an exaggeration, but Siegrud himself is equally unwilling to let this war drag on too long.

Siegrud was merciful, though the word seemed sarcastic to him, and no one would be willing to admit it.
