Chapter 532: Surprised
"You're really not going to make a move? Alice. ”
Semiramis glanced at Alice obliquely.
"Shoot, shoot, how can you not shoot. ”
Alice shook her hand, with a little helplessness on her face, and said lazily.
After another analysis and discussion, Semiramis and Alice determined that if Upland, Siegmund and the elite Scandinavians were allowed to die at the hands of Attila, then with the army led by Siegel in the back, victory would never be possible.
Then without the Scandinavian Empire in front as a T to attract the attention of the Attila army, with the current combat effectiveness of the Baltic Empire, it really can't beat the Attila army.
After all, you can't let the Atila army go to war against the Baltic Empire on a small raft on the sea, can you? Even if the stupid trolls and ogres would do that, the knights wouldn't allow it.
"By the way, where is the knight called Death now?"
Alice suddenly remembered that of the three knights still alive, only two were on the battlefield in Scandinavia, and the other knight, called Death, was nowhere to be found.
"Death? As for his information, we have captured his information in the intelligence network of the Attila Empire, and he is still playing a game of hide and seek with the druids in the Russ steppe. ”
Semiramis also reflected at this time, how important the role of the knight called Death was to the entire Attila Empire.
It can be said that if Atila's army can suppress the city of Upland, death is attributed to it, precisely because of his activities in the Rus steppe, constantly chasing the traces of the druids in the snow-capped mountains, so that they can not continue to destroy the logistics of the Attila Empire, so that the Atilla army on the front line can maintain a strong combat effectiveness.
Otherwise, think about it, giants, dragons, Beamon, and mammoths are all big consumers of food, and if there is no logistics convoy transportation, it is impossible to sustain it only by relying on centaurs and jackals to hunt.
Not to mention that now that they are in the midst of war, they need to consume a lot of physical strength to fight every day, and the corresponding things they eat, drink, and use to replenish the energy required by their bodies have naturally increased.
"Alice, do you mean to kill the dead, to free the druids of the snowy mountains, and let them continue to wreak havoc in the steppes of Rus, in the rear of the Attila Empire?"
Semiramis immediately grasped what Alice meant, not only because of Semiramis's wisdom, but also because of her understanding of Alice.
"Yes, that's right, my idea is that I'll kill death, taking advantage of the time when there are not many strong people in the Attila Grassland, on the other side of the Rus' steppe. ”
"And if you kill death, you will not only be liberated by the druids of the snowy mountains, but also by those who have ambitions who are now in a wait-and-see state. ”
The latter, Alice, refers to a guy like Rurik who has a certain amount of strength, has a heart for the rule of Attila, but sees no hope, and holds back his ambitions.
"In addition to the first two, Zigmund's Upland City can also be easily down, after all, the chaos in the rear, the cut off logistics, Attila can't ignore it, and he can't ignore it. ”
"Even her knights have died at the hands of the enemy, which will force her to choose to send stronger warriors to solve such a problem, and she is the only one in the Atilla army who is stronger than the knights. ”
In this way, the problem arises, if she wants to continue the westward expedition, then she can't leave the army and go to other places, otherwise without her in charge, the guys in her army will be scattered. ”
"If she doesn't move, and she has to solve the problem in the rear, then the only option is to let the remaining two knights go out together, in a one-on-one battle, there are not many people in this world who can kill a knight, but there are still some. ”
"But if two knights go out together, even I, even the Skaha or Gilgamesh guys, can only contain them, but not win. ”
Alice made this judgment based on her previous battles with several knights and the battle she had observed in the war to the death.
"If on the battlefield in Upplan, two knights are reduced, then ......"
Semiramis said thoughtfully, but was interrupted by Alice before he could finish his sentence.
"Then in Atira's army, there is only one person left who can command, but on the Scandinavian side, if it is dispatched, Atilla will also be restrained, but the threat of the Attila army without command will drop a lot. ”
Alice shook her head at the thought of the chaotic armies of the Attila army, which could not be called disciplined at all.
Although Siegmund is also holding back his energy, the situation between the two is very different, as the defensive side, they really need to operate and really need to pay attention to much less than the attacking side.
"If you go to the Rose steppe in search of death, who are you going to give your contact with Siegmund to......?
Semiramis didn't mention herself, because as the Baltic Empress, she had too much work to deal with, and if it was divided according to importance, each one could damage the interests of the Baltic Empire if she didn't pay attention.
For example, the settlement of the Yeats, there are still some thorns among them who do not obey the rule of the Baltic Empire, they eat and drink the nutritious and delicious food provided by the Baltic Sea, they live in strong houses made of wood and stone, and they wear clothes to protect them from the wind and cold, but they are nostalgic for Beowulf, who has been dead for a long time.
In addition to the Yeats, the merfolk and the krakens also have problems, as the three overlords of the Baltic Sea, they are only forced to submit to the Baltic Empire in this way, and it will take a long time for them to truly become a part of the Empire, and from the bottom of their hearts they think that they are Baltic Empire people.
This is also inevitable, and it takes a lot of time to complete, after all, it is never so simple for an independent nation to give up what is in itself, to merge into another nation, to be annexed to another nation, and to become a part of the other nation.
At this time, I have to rejoice that if Attila had not targeted the Scandinavian Empire, but the Baltic Empire, then all kinds of contradictions hidden under the surface of the water would have been exposed.
"Alia, Bambi's words are not suitable for such a thing. ”
Alice thought about it for a few seconds before making a decision.
Alia, who was in charge of the Baltic fleet and traded with the tribal chieftains of the Rus' steppes, was far better than Bambi in terms of communication.
It's not that Alice doesn't give Bambi a chance to prove herself, but this matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes, because this job is not only to support Upland City against Attila's army, but also to keep Upplan's strength at a boundary, neither to repel the attack of Atira's army, nor to be breached at once.
This position requires Attila to maintain a balanced position of support, so that the two empires will continue to bleed through this war, weaken the strength of both sides, prolong the war, and buy time for the development of the Baltic Empire.
"Food, ammunition, clothing, equipment, potions, what else, what else do we need to give Upland?"
"No, just give these things to Zigmund, give too many things, if they are obtained by the Atila army, it will make the situation even more unfavorable. ”
This sentence clearly reveals Alice's disdain for Upplan, and if too many things are given and the city is breached by Atila before it is consumed, these things will become things that nourish the enemy.
"Don't you need to give a little bit of those equipment, catapults, ballistas, and bed crossbows?"
Semiramis knew that there weren't many things on the Scandinavian side of Upland that could deal damage to large creatures like mammoths and dragons, and that the main means of attack besides spellcasters were bed crossbows, ballistas, and catapults.
"There's no need, we don't have all the equipment on our side, but we don't have anything to spare for them, and besides, even if we ship it and hand it over to the Scandinavians, there won't be many people who can use it. ”
These instruments look very simple, and the materials used are relatively ordinary, but they are still very troublesome to make, and without the help of the caster, relying only on skilled craftsmen, it may not be possible to make a qualified instrument for a week.
It takes some time to learn how to use these equipment, how to load, how to aim, and how to fire, but in the battles that have taken place in the past few days, the most attrition happens to be the group of people who have returned to control ballistas, bed crossbows, and catapults.
The giant's stone-throwing attack at the beginning, the thunderbird's lightning storm later, and the dragon's breath attack all target bed crossbows, ballistas, and catapults that can damage them.
"Let our men join the battlefield and attack with ballistas, catapults, and bed crossbows, or will we attack directly at sea with the equipment of the ships and help the Scandinavians?"
Semiramis thought simply, since there was a shortage of people to manipulate the equipment in Upland City, then the Baltic Empire would arrange for people to manipulate the equipment to help them attack the Attila army.
"No, Semiramis, we shouldn't interfere in the war between the two sides. ”
"To be precise, we shouldn't be so blatantly meddling, walking to the front of the stage and joining this war, from onlookers to participants all of a sudden. ”
"It's one thing for us to help Siegmund and help the Scandinavians secretly, but it's another thing to stand up and join them. ”
"Semiramis, do you believe it, if we join the battle directly, the situation will easily change, and the situation changes, no matter how it changes, it will be a bad change for our Baltic Empire. ”
Alice didn't mention that she controlled the ice golems to attack the Attila army and fight the white bears, because they were just ice golems, and in the eyes of everyone, they were not much different from play.
"Where is Alia now, call her over, I think we both have something to say to her. ”
Alice knew where to stop, and when she saw Semiramis's eyes close slightly, she quickly changed the topic and did not continue on the topic.
Alice certainly has a lot to say to continue, but there is no need for her to embarrass Semiramis, and the person in front of her is not something that should be satirized.
"No hurry, Alice, Alia is still in the harbor and can come to us at any time. ”
"I still have a lot of things to discuss with you here, Alia's matter, it doesn't matter if you wait a while, anyway, for Siegmund's assistance, a little faster or less will not have much impact. ”
Semiramis raised his hand, stopping Alice's movements.
"Anything else?"
Alice asked curiously, the most critical and important thing now and the most influential thing should be the war that took place in the city of Upland, in this once paradise of the Yaats, and she couldn't think of anything more important than this war.
"Of course there is, I want to know about the man named Rurik. ”
When Rurik's name was spoken, a chill flashed in Semiramis's eyes, and although it was fleeting, it was still caught by Alice, who had been paying attention to her.
"What's wrong with Rurik? Didn't I tell you before? He is the leader of the Novgorodians, who occupies the richest and most central region of the Rus' steppe, and if we give him the support to revolt against Attila as a banner figure, then things will turn out in favor of our Baltic Empire. ”
Alice asked curiously, she didn't understand why, at this time, Semiramis would mention the name of Rurik, the name of the man who had only seen two sides.
Obviously, the two have nothing to do with each other, and Semiramis knows that Rurik is still because of the information provided by Alia and Alice's description.
"Of course, I understand that, Alice. ”
"I understand what you say, but Alice, I still want to know about your relationship with Rurik. ”
"What are you talking about, Semiramis, what else can we have to do with each other. ”
"Wait, no, Semiramis, you don't think I'm in love with a man, do you?"
Thinking of this, Alice's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked incredulous.
