"My lord, the Yaats have compromised, and they have sent messengers to contact Saruman in the hope that he will act as an intermediary to negotiate with us. ”

Remi bent down and reported to Alice in a low voice, what happened on Zealand Island made her very angry, very helpless, very embarrassed, and even in her heart, she began to doubt her ability.

"Compromise? This is not a compromise...... If it had been a compromise, the Jeats would not have sent an emissary to Saruman. ”

"They are recognizing the reality, but they don't plan to bow their heads, and they want to retain their last dignity. ”

Alice replied lightly to Remy, if the Yeats really decided to compromise and really let go of their bodies, then they should not go to Saruman, but bow their heads, fall on the ground, kiss the floor, and ask Alice for forgiveness.

She is now located in the city of Sealand, in the very center of the island, and behind the original temple in the middle, a tall tower has been built to serve as a place to rest and work.

The towers are wide and pointed, and the architectural style is different from the Scandinavian style, but typical of the wizard style of the spellcaster, and the ivory white tower is made of marble, which emits a faint orange glow in the setting sun.

Standing on the top of this tower, you can easily see the entire Sealand City, and you can clearly see the frozen sea outside the city, and the workers who are already busy on the sea.

Although the ice on the sea made it impossible for ships to navigate, the use of tools such as sleds made it possible to move faster on the ice, and it took about a third of the time to transport supplies from Jutland to Zealand faster than by sea.

A third of the time, that is, the supplies that normally take three days to arrive, now only take one day, basically starting from Jutland at dawn in the morning and arriving in Sealand in the evening.

Not only does this reduce the loss of supplies on the road, but more importantly, it saves the two nights spent in the Baltic Sea, and the troops carrying out the transportation do not have to worry about the dragons and other beasts attacking them at night.

After the Baltic Sea undersea forces were unified by the Empire, the attack of those wild flying beasts such as dragons and thunderbirds became the most troublesome thing for those who transported in the Baltic Sea, which meant that the Empire had to allocate the originally scarce number of strong men to each transport force to ensure the safety of the transport force.

There is no way to do this, a large part of the supplies shipped to Zealand by Jutland are already dried meat and seafood, and because of the salt and spices used for pickling, only a little bit can be combined with other things to make a delicious and nutritious broth.

Delicious and nutritious, it is also suitable for predators such as wyverns, and when the Baltic Sea is frozen and most of the animals hide for hibernation, these apex predators who do not need to hibernate will fall into the predicament of lack of food.

In this case, the transport troops who come to play and transport delicious and nutritious food are their favorite targets, and if they succeed once, they will not need to worry about food problems for a long time.

Therefore, the large amount of food consumed by these Yaats every day consumed a lot of manpower and material resources of the empire, and they had to risk being attacked by fierce beasts every day.

As long as she thinks about it, Remi has to admire Alice, and stopping the food and material supply to the Yeats will not only put them in trouble and force them to recognize the reality they are facing, but also relieve the pressure of transportation from Jutland to Sealand, so that those transport troops who have been working hard can rest comfortably for a while in such a cold climate.

However, Remi turned her head to think about it, and she began to suffer again, because she was afraid that if she pressed too hard, those Yeats would take risks, and judging from the information she had gained from communicating with them during this time, and from their understanding, the Yeats who had not given up their dignity and honor were likely to pursue a glorious death in battle, and to go to the Valhalla Palace after death, and choose to fight to the death.

Although she had such a worry in her mind, Remi did not mention it in front of Alice, out of blind belief in Alice, believing that the other party had already made up her mind, and no matter what choice the Yeats made, it was impossible to escape from Alice's palm.

"Don't worry, the odds of that you thinking about happening are very low. ”

Glancing at the tangle and worry that flashed in Remi's eyes, Alice understood what the other party was worried about after thinking about it, and she said in a reassuring tone, in an unhappy and not slow voice.

"The Yeats, I have been dealing with Beowulf since he was still alive, perhaps because of the influence of Beowulf, they are very hearty and upright, and do not like twists and tricks, so they have a very bad relationship with the Goths of Siegel, and they also hate the god of fire that the Goths believe in. ”

"In any case, no matter what our intentions were, whether they wanted to or not, we were in fact their saviors, and we saved them from the rule of Siegel, so that they would not have to worry about supplies and food in the cold winter. ”

"So, even if they starve to death, they won't turn their weapons at their saviors, something that Beowulf brought them and that is engraved in their blood and won't change. ”

"Well, when the people of Yaat were still Yaat, it was impossible to change that. ”

As she spoke, Alice remembered the days when she had spoken to Beowulf and fought against the Attila army, and even if Beowulf died in the end from her plot, Alice had to admit that the other party was indeed a bold man.

"Remi, why do you think that the fights and fights between them, only to the extent of the fights and fights, there are no deaths? Or do you think that those Yeats have no strength to resist?

Alice's words made Remy have a sudden sense of enlightenment, if it was in Scandinavia, no matter how the level of fighting, it would be impossible not to die without death, and now the most serious thing is only injury, which can only show that those Yeats did not have the intent to kill the Sealand and Goths even when they were at the most disadvantaged, and they would rather be injured themselves than kill anyone who was kind to them, even if their honor and dignity were trampled under their feet.

After thinking about it, a kind of shame arose in Limi's heart, if she had been more capable, more careful in her observation, and more dexterous in her means, maybe this time it wouldn't have happened, and it wouldn't have bothered Alice to make her pay for her mistakes.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Alice......"

Remi lowered her head, she found that at this time, apart from this apology, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't know what to do to be able to solve this matter.

She was very scared now, not because she was afraid of her position as the lord of Sealand, but because she was afraid that her mistake and mistake this time would cause her status in Alice's mind to decline.

For those who have been saved by Alice, who have been exposed to rare knowledge, and who have seen scenery that they had never thought of before, no material wealth can compare to Alice's praise.

"No need to apologize, this is something that will happen, even if it doesn't happen now, it will happen in the future, even me or Semiramis can't be omniscient, it's impossible to solve all problems, it's impossible to put an end to all mistakes. ”

Alice's words can't be considered lies, but most of them are for Remi, and she doesn't want to let Remi, a girl whose abilities, talents, and consciousness are among the top vampire maids, collapse because of this.

Whether it is out of her own feelings or the interests of the empire, this is not allowed, on the contrary, Alice also hopes to speed up the growth of the other party through this incident, so that this failure will become a ladder for Remi's growth.

"I'll take care of the rest, Remi, I'll be watching from the sidelines, you can do it with confidence, I put the Yeats on Zealand, and I told you the reason before. ”

On the one hand, the reason for the resettlement of the Yayat people is that the island is very large, rich in natural resources, and sparsely populated, so it is the best place to settle these Yaats.

On the other hand, it is also hoped that the Yaat, Sealand and immigrants from Jutland will form a three-legged balance on the largest and most critical island in the Baltic Sea.

The main thing is to make the Yeats and the Sealanders, in this balance, in the subtle passage of time, accustomed to being part of the empire, and finally willing to be part of the empire, believing that they are part of the empire.

"Let the Jutland and Sealand secretly give their food and supplies to the Yeats, and find a few of the most loyal spellcasters to treat the seriously wounded Jeats in the name of being saved by the Jeats on the battlefield. ”

Alice instructed Remi that since the stick had been beaten, then the sweet dates would definitely have to be given, and cutting off the supply of food and supplies to the Yeats was only part of the means, not to force those Jeats to die.

On the contrary, this method is only the first step in Alice's series of methods, in order to truly subdue the hearts of the people of Jeat, otherwise it is just a simple compulsion, even if it solves a temporary problem, it will plant a time bomb of future explosions, and forcing the head of the cow to make it drink water is never the best way to solve the problem.

Having the Jutlish and Sealand people provide food and supplies for the Jeats in their most difficult state is a great way to ease the conflict between them and make them forget the unpleasantness that happened before.

Letting the caster heal the Yaats who had been hurt before would completely settle the mess between them and extinguish the flames of revenge.

Alice believes that with the character of the Yatt people, in the face of the cruel reality and the sweet dates, they can easily accept the reality and make compromises.

Even if they still have a grudge against Alice in their hearts, and they still have prejudice against her, as long as they accept the reality, admit that they are already part of the empire, and are willing to contribute to the empire, that little resentment will fade one day in a long time.

It won't take long, in another ten or twenty years, when the adults will grow old, the old will die, and the children will grow up, and the people of the Yaats will probably forget their names and will only remember that they are Baltics.

As long as the Yayats compromised, then it would be easier for the Sealands and Jutland to do so, because the root of this conflict is in the Jeats, and the Sealand and Jutland will never pose a problem in the eyes of Alice and others, the former does not have the guts to create problems, and the latter will never cause problems.

Alice's methods, although it is very simple to say, in the past study, Remi has also learned, but to really apply what she has learned to practice, Remi still has a way to go.

Seeing the flash of realization on Remi's face, Alice breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time she admitted that it was still too impatient to let these vampire maids who had not experienced practice and were just rich in theory in the first place.

Like Alia and Bambi over there, there are not too many contradictions, as long as they don't make mistakes, there will be no big problems, but on the centimeter side, the situation on Zealand Island is still very complicated, especially after the arrival of the Yeats, it is even more complicated and changeable.

"I'll be here for ten days, Remi, and I'll take care of that. ”

I hope this time, you don't let me down.

The last sentence, Alice didn't say, she didn't want her words to put too much pressure on the other party, but if Remi couldn't even complete these step-by-step things, then Alice really had to think about whether it was really appropriate to continue to put her in this position.

Mistakes are never a big deal, and no matter who they are, even gods can make mistakes.

But if you don't learn your lesson, you make a second mistake on the same issue, a third time, and that's really a big problem.

The Baltic Empire has never been a play between children, and every consideration of Alice, Semiramis and others will involve every Baltic citizen.

And the lords of a city like Bambi and Remi, who dominate an island and a territory, also affect the citizens living in their territory.

"Don't worry, Lord Alice. ”

Remi's eyes flashed with determination, if he couldn't even follow the path that had pointed out the direction, then there was no need for Alice and Semiramis to punish him, and Remi didn't have the face to continue to stay in this position.
