Chapter 726 United Kingdom
"What are you here for? What do you want to get? Gohm. ”
Sigourney knew Gorm, so she didn't hesitate to ask the doubts in her heart.
However, she already had some guesses about Golm's purpose in her heart, and there was only one possibility for Gorm to appear here as an enemy, and that was to kill Siegel.
"I'm here to kill Siegel, to put an end to the Scandinavian Empire founded by the Goths. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Gomm's mouth that made people feel like a spring breeze.
"So, what do you want us to do? join your army and take part in this hunt for the Scandinavian Emperor?"
Sigourney asked with a smile, but she and Siegmund remained on their toes.
"No, I don't need you to join my army, I think after Siegel's death, the Scandinavian Empire will be accepted by you, from the Scandinavian Empire of the Goths to the Scandinavian Empire of the Barusengers. ”
This is also the reason why Sigourney is wary, there is indeed a common enemy between the two of them, but there is also a serious conflict of interest between them, and this conflict of interest is difficult to compromise with each other, and it is difficult to have room for mutual compromise.
"So, what are you coming to us for? Even if you don't say it, we'll join the fight in due course, all you want is the fact that Siegel is dead, and Brother Siegmund and I want to kill Siegel with our own hands. ”
Sigoarney's tone had become cold, and the fig leaf that had been maintained on the surface of both sides had been simply thrown away by the other party, and there was no need for her to maintain the falsehood on her face.
"No, I don't want you to talk about Siegel, there will be no accidents, he will die today in the city he bears his name. ”
Gohm stretched out his thumb and pointed to the battlefield in the sky, the Scandinavian Empire's army was already a little unable to hold on, and some of them directly chose to surrender.
Especially the druids, who, after the appearance of Gohm's army, once again chose to betray without hesitation.
This is not surprising at all, because they had been hesitant to leave the country and join Gohm's coalition, but because of the hesitation, they wasted their time, causing them to miss the opportunity.
Despite this, they had never been in contact with Gorm, and they had told him about what was going to happen in Siegel tonight, and what Sigourney had told them to do.
This is the fundamental reason why Gohm is here, he knows Siegmund and Sigoney, these two are not simple people, and it is difficult to fail after so many years of preparation.
So, with the exception of the armies that needed to be used to defend and guard against the Attila Empire, the rest of the armies were gathered by Gohm and drove over the dangerous forests of the Norwegian mountains.
It was a very dangerous gamble, and if Sigourney hadn't rebelled on the night, there would have been a high probability of annihilation awaiting Gorm's army when they appeared outside the city.
A defended city and an undefended city are completely two different concepts, and the defense of Siegel City was originally established according to the standards of the final decisive battle with the Attila Empire, and there was no way to shake it with Gohm's army, which did not have many heavy siege weapons.
As long as the first wave of attacks can be stopped, the other cities of the Scandinavian Empire will send troops to participate in the battle, and Gohm's army will appear to be surrounded.
When an army is surrounded, the probability of defeat is very high in any way, and as long as a qualified commander will do his best to avoid such a situation in his army.
After the druids chose to surrender, the situation on the part of the Scandinavian Empire became even worse, as the remaining spellcasters, except for a very small number of Goths who were diehard Siegel loyalists, had no reason to continue their allegiance to Siegel.
Spellcasters are beings who are treated with courtesy no matter where they are, they have knowledge in their hands, they have power in their hands, and they are talents that all forces desire.
Rather than dedicating one's life to the Siegel forces, which are about to be finished, it is better to turn to Gohm's coalition at this time, and maybe you can get better treatment if you take refuge early.
Siegel certainly understood the inner thoughts of these spellcasters, but apart from his ugly face, he couldn't find a way to solve the problem in a short period of time.
In his previous battles with Sigourney and Siegmund, he had already exhausted the potential in his body, and the gifts from the gods were never something that anyone could bear.
Now if he wants to turn into a giant again and participate in the battle, he can only hold on for a few minutes, and his opponent can't be solved in a few minutes, and when a few minutes pass, he will really become a weaker person who is powerless.
It is estimated that at that time, even the most loyal Goth's heart will be shaken, he is indeed the king of the Goths, bringing the Goths to unprecedented heights, but his death is not equal to the demise of the Goths.
In any case, the Goths are a branch of the Scandinavians, and Gohm would never be stupid enough to exterminate the Goths, which would leave an indelible stain on his life, would blow his prestige, and shake his rule.
On the contrary, Gohm actually needs the support of the Goths, because among the Scandinavians, the Yeats, Barusenge, and Goths are the three strongest fighting teams.
The Yaats have largely joined the Baltic Empire, and if they return to Scandinavia, they will be conquerors, Baltics, not the Scandinavians they once were.
Most of the people of Barusenge have died in the war of the destruction of Barushinge, and the remaining part has gradually become ordinary and lost their former courage after more than ten years of development.
In the end, only the Goths remained, because of Siegel's strategies, the power of the Goths remained very intact, and even said that if the Goths were lost, the Scandinavian Empire would be destroyed.
What made Siegel even more ugly was that his enemy commander did not join the battle at all, but instead communicated and talked with the two men who had betrayed him on the ice in the distance.
Needless to say, Siegel could roughly guess the communication between them, Sigourney and Siegmund must have wanted to take his life with his own hands, and Gomm wanted to use this bargaining chip to win over Sigourney and Siegmund.
He knew that Gohm would never kill Sigourney and Siegmund at this time, because these two were the last bloodlines that God Odin had determined on the main plane.
Whether it was against the Attila Empire or the terrible Baltic Empire, Gohm needed the talents of Sigourney and Siegmund.
Siegmund's talent is even more valuable than Sigourney's, and Sigmund proved his command skills in the battle of Upland, although it was ultimately a failure, but it is widely believed that the failure was due to a mistake in the strategic decisions of the Scandinavian Empire.
If Siegel can really pay attention to the battlefield of Upland and invest more spellcasters and resources, then even if the Attila Empire can win, it will definitely not be just such a loss.
Sigoarney's role is very large, but she also has a lot of problems, although she is a woman, but she is definitely not an ordinary woman, the Scandinavian Empire has been able to be so stable in recent years, which is definitely indispensable for her dedication.
The North Sea Kingdom and the Baltic Empire were able to improve relations with the Scandinavian Empire, which was indeed an inevitable result of the change of situation, but Sigoney's role in this must not be overlooked.
Such a person can bring a lot of benefits to a country, but if he has bad intentions, he can also bring terrible disasters to a country, as is happening in the city of Siegel now.
"Join my country, and I will give you the opportunity to kill Siegel, and I will do everything in my power to help you recover Barushinger and make one of you the king of Barushinger. ”
Gorm stretched out his hand to the two of them, his face had changed to a welcoming smile, it was indeed a smile from the heart, there was no hint of falsehood, he was indeed eager to get the help of Sigourney and Sigmund.
"Do you want to join your country and make us kings? What do you think? No, it doesn't matter if you are called King Gorm in advance at this time. ”
For Gomm's attitude, Sigourney couldn't maintain the coldness on her face.
"Do you know the country of Ireland?"
Gorm smiled, not correcting Sigoarney's salutation, nor answering her question directly.
"Is Ireland one of the three Celtic islands?"
Sigourney narrowed her eyes slightly, of course she knew Ireland, the Red Branch Knights of Ulster from Ireland had helped the Scandinavians defend against the invasion from the Attila Empire.
"Yes, Ireland, which adopted a system distinct from the Scandinavian, Attea, and Baltic empires, was a union of nations and tribes that jointly elected a powerful king as a co-ruler to lead them against the attacks of outsiders. ”
"Some have called the system adopted in Ireland the United Kingdom system because it was a looser state of many kingdoms and tribes, but much tighter than the coalition army, and the co-ruler had more power than the coalition commander. ”
"I'm not a tyrant like Siegel. ”
Eventually, Gohm added a phrase to distinguish him from Siegel.
"Maybe what you say is true, but I still can't believe you right away, and I can't change my attitude just by relying on your words. ”
Sigourney didn't say yes directly, but said something like this.
Siegmund was vigilant with his sword on the side, and he gave Sigourney the right to talk, and he would support whatever choice Sigourney made in the end.
Even if that choice would break his contract with the Baltic Empire, it would provoke the wrath of the Baltic Empire, and would be tantamount to completely abandoning Siegrud, who was still a hostage of the Baltic Empire.
"You should know about our relationship with the Baltic Empire, right?"
Sigourney asked curiously.
Goam nodded, but there was no change of thought on his face.
"Aren't you afraid that we will betray you to the Baltic Empire by joining us in the United Kingdom of Scandinavia that you want to establish?"
"Do you think I should be afraid? I'm completely different from Siegel, I'm not going to give you any reason to rebel, I'm not going to give you a chance to rebel, I'm fundamentally different from that tyrant. ”
Gomm replied, his tone full of confidence, he really felt it from the bottom of his heart, there really was no pretense in the slightest.
"Ah, it seems that those druids did choose you for a reason. ”
Sigourney suddenly sighed, she was talking about the druids who were loyal to her, and finally betrayed her, and at this time, those druids were not loyal to her from the beginning, nor did they betray her and rejoin Siegel's camp.
Because that group of people, it is estimated that they had already taken refuge in the man in front of them very early, and only in this way can the successive changes that happened tonight be explained.
"King Gohm, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
"I compare you to Siegel, to Beowulf, these two. ”
"Indeed, if you were a king, you would never be a selfish tyrant like Siegel, but you would never be a king like Beowulf who everyone longed for and wanted to follow. ”
Gorm's brow furrowed slightly, he was not dissatisfied with Sigoarney's words, but he had obtained the other party's answer from the other party's tone, and it was not the answer he wanted.
"King Gohm, we refuse your request. ”
Sure enough, Sigourney said no, and Siegmund was ready for battle.
"Well, well, forget it. ”
In a few seconds, Gohm collected his mood and faced up to his failure, he shrugged his shoulders, did not care about Siegmund's attitude, and turned to leave.
Only one last word remained in the air
"O descendants of Barusinga, Siegel's life is given to you as a gift to celebrate the establishment of the kingdom of Barusinga. ”
