Chapter 516: The Western Expedition (18) Fight
Intuition, heart's eye, sometimes it's really annoying, at least that's what Alice thinks at this time, these kinds of abilities are possessed by some people when they are born, some people have them after training and development, and some people have honed them on the battlefield, and then they are produced.
Now, almost all of these berserkers in front of Alice have similar abilities, in other words, her stealth doesn't have much effect in front of them.
They don't need to see Alice, they don't need to smell the smell in the air, they don't need to hear strange sounds, they just know the change of environment by virtue of that special feeling.
There were intruders, who had overpassed the defenses in front of them, and without alarming them, came to the dwelling of Siegmund, the most heavily guarded commander in the entire city of Uppland.
They spotted Alice and didn't raise any alarm, but looked at each other and tightened their weapons, pretending not to notice Alice.
These experienced warriors knew that those who could bypass the cordon laid out in front of them to reach this place must have extraordinary strength, or possess hidden abilities far beyond those of ordinary assassins and thieves.
In the face of such people, it is useless to fight head-on, as there is a good chance that they will not be his opponent or will not be able to prevent the escape of this intruder.
Only by pretending not to notice it, when the intruder came to him, he attacked him in an instant with the power of thunder, and tried to kill the other party at the moment when the other party had no time to react.
Well, if it wasn't Alice, but someone else, their plan would have succeeded, but at such a close distance, after Alice knew the details of these warriors and dealt with the elite Scandinavian berserkers, their so-called disguise seemed very ridiculous.
The moment they looked at each other, the beating rate of their hearts changed, and Alice knew what the warriors were up to.
Gently pulling down the cloak draped over her body, when Alice's figure was suddenly exposed to the air and appeared in front of the warriors, her figure attracted the attention of all present.
Alice, the founder and mastermind of the Baltic Empire?
Such thoughts flashed through the minds of these berserkers, and then they realized that their bodies were fixed in place, let alone picking up weapons and attacking, and they could not even move a finger.
Seeing that she had controlled all the berserkers present, Alice lifted the sky, smiled softly, and then walked into the building where Siegmund lived.
As for the immobile warriors outside, as long as they hold out for two hours, or if Alice is done with Siegmund, they will naturally come into contact with the magic that works on them.
The berserkers made a mistake at this time, they thought that they would come here with assassins and thieves, who were warriors with great strength, but they didn't expect it to be a powerful spellcaster like Alice.
Although they said that they had taken some precautions, a certain amount of precautions was not enough to resist Alice's magic, and when they looked directly at Alice's figure, the power of magic had already acted on them.
It's not a very complicated magic, it's just a simple illusion that gives them the illusion that they can't control their bodies, and they think they've fallen for the powerful magic, so they can deceive themselves.
Pushing open the door and entering the house, a warm wave of air came in, preventing the torches from burning on the walls to dispel the cold and darkness of the house.
The Siegmund that Alice was looking for was now sitting on the couch, with two cups in front of him, filled with water and emitting heat.
"Looks like you knew I was coming for you, Siegmund. ”
Alice asked with a little curiosity, Siegmund put on such a look, obviously guessed, or analyzed that Alice would inevitably come here tonight and visit Siegmund as an intruder.
"Of course, when those ice centaurs appeared, I knew you were going to come for me tonight. ”
Siegmund looked at Alice standing in the corridor, and did not get up to greet her, but leaned sideways and said in an expected tone.
Siegmund was a legend with the ability to see far away, and he could clearly see the ice centaurs and the White Bears on the walls.
In his impression, within the vicinity of the Baltic Sea, the only person who could make such a pair of flashy, powerful-looking ice golems with no combat power would be Alice.
Although he didn't know why Alice would control a group of ice golems and fight the White Bears in a seemingly family-like battle without any casualties, he knew that the battle must have some purpose.
And, judging from Alice's behavior in the past, it is inevitable that we should come here this evening to visit him, to meet with him, and to test him.
Hearing Siegmund say this, Alice also knew why Siegmund guessed that she would be here tonight, and she unceremoniously opened the chair and sat directly opposite Sigmund .
"Guys out there, won't disturb our conversation for two hours, Zigmund. ”
"I know those guys are loyal servants of Siegel, and I can't give them orders by force, just do that. ”
Siegmund wasn't surprised by the immobile guys, and if he could, he wanted to keep the guys out there away so that Alice could come here.
Now that Alice has been discovered, it doesn't matter, anyway, Siegmund estimates that he can't leave Upland City, calculating that he really repelled Attila's army, and Siegel will send someone to deal with him.
"Alright, Alice, is there anything you want to tell me when you're here?"
Zygmund didn't want to continue on this topic, after all, it seemed to be a doomed ending, and it would be useless to continue to delve into it, it would only waste those two hours, not a long time at all.
"I think you should also know what I'm going to say, whether it's me, you, or Siegel on the fight against Atila, we're on the same page. ”
Alice put away the smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at the last prince of Barusenge seriously, and said in a serious tone.
"I know. ”
"My Baltic Empire, or your Scandinavian Empire, will not be the opponent of the Atila Army purely in terms of combat effectiveness. ”
"I know. ”
"I don't believe in Siegel, and Siegel won't believe me, he doesn't dare to use all his power on Atila, he wants to show weakness to make Atila target our Baltic Empire, and at the same time force us to strike at Atila. ”
"I know. ”
Siegmund knew two things in a row, and the language that Alice had managed to organize was choked in his throat, maybe it was this time as a commander, maybe it was the previous training of those Scandinavians, those Goths, that made him grow a lot.
"So what exactly do you want to do?"
"But I'll make a few things out of here. ”
"First, whether it's for Sigourney or something else, I'm not going to change my attitude towards the fight against Attila, even if it's ......"
"Even if Siegel will definitely let you die in the city of Uppland as an example, an example, a hero, a heroic sacrifice against the Attila army?"
"Yes, even if Siegel would have made me die in the city of Upplam as an example, an example, and a hero who died heroically against the Atila army. ”
Siegmund repeated Alice's words, then raised his hand to stop Alice.
"Second, no matter what your attitude of the Baltic Empire is, these Scandinavian warriors I lead who are stationed in Uppland against the Attila Army will never choose to escape. ”
"No matter how high-sounding the excuses may be, they cannot hide the possibility that we are now using our lives to consume the strength of the Attila army, to make it more difficult for them to replenish, and to exchange the lives of all the warriors in this city now, including mine, for the possibility of the collapse of the entire empire of Attila. ”
"Not only us, but also the druids who are sabotaging the Attila Empire, must have this idea, when the logistics of the Attila army are serious to a certain extent, when the supply of food is problematic due to the war, just like the disaster that changed the situation in the entire north, the Attila Empire is likely to usher in a great change, and those people who can't even eat will most likely abandon the Attila who have nothing to bring them except victory. ”
Siegmund's words made Alice look at him impressed, if it wasn't for the feeling that Alice confirmed that the person in front of her was really the one she knew, she was suspecting that the guy in front of her was actually Sigourney in disguise.
Well, even if the suspicion that the person in front of her was Siegmund was dispelled, Alice still had a good reason to suspect that these words were actually taught by Sigourney to Sigmund in order to get some benefits from her in the following conversation.
Alice was suspicious, so she asked directly.
"What did Sigourney teach you to say?"
"Huh, can't that be what I want?"
Siegmund's subconscious rhetorical question made Alice laugh, a Siegmund who has grown up and matured is very much in line with the interests of the Baltic Empire.
In other words, Siegmund who has grown up, in the Baltic Empire, in Alice's eyes, is a key figure who can become a key figure in disrupting Siegel to the Scandinavian Empire, a role more important than an army.
"Well, then Siegmund, you know what I'm here for. ”
"We in the Baltic don't have much to offer you, and I don't want to go with Siegel's plan, and I don't want to stimulate Attila's nerves at this time and make them look at us. ”
Alice said this, she had such a concern, after seeing through Siegel's rogue plan, the support for Upland City could only stay on paper.
Of course, if spring comes and the sea thaws, Alice doesn't need to worry too much, after all, the navy of the Attila Empire is their weak point, and in the case of the thaw of the sea, they have no way to take the initiative to attack the Baltic Empire.
Even, in turn, what the Attila Empire needed to worry about was their long coastline, and they needed to worry that the troops of the Baltic Empire landed on their territory without knowing when, without knowing where.
Especially in terms of high-end combat power, the Baltic Empire is also not inferior to the Attila Empire, Alice and Skaha alone are known to be able to fight Attila on the battlefield without defeat, not to mention other guys like Kraken.
When Siegmund heard Alice's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly unhappily, he had said so many things before, just to get assistance from Alice and from the Baltic Empire.
Even if the support of the soldiers is concerned, it will not only irritate the nerves of the Attila army, but also make the soldiers of the Scandinavian Empire feel uneasy, after all, the Baltic Empire is also a hostile to the Scandinavian Empire.
"What about food, firewood, weapons, ammunition, spell materials, don't tell me, you can't even provide these things, I know how rich your Baltic Empire is. ”
"Moreover, it is also beneficial for your Baltic Empire to provide these things, with these things, we can hold out longer, and we can make the Attila army suffer greater losses, and a weakened Attila Empire and a weak Scandinavian Empire are in the interests of your Baltic Empire, right?"
Siegmund was trying to convince the girl in front of him that although Alice was not the queen of the Baltic Empire, she was the real person who could make decisions in the Baltic Empire.
Well, Siegmund was partly right, and it was for this reason that Alice appeared here, so cautiously in front of Siegmund.
However, this does not mean that for this reason, Alice must give up all her interests and provide things to the Scandinavian Empire unconditionally.
Even if Alice had to do this, it was only in the best interests of the Baltic Empire that she would get as much benefit as possible from Zygmund's hands.
These benefits can be tangible and tangible, or they can be a piece of information, an attitude, or a favor...... If she could, Alice would like the latter, because the current Baltic Empire was not lacking in the former.
