Chapter 655: The Situation Has Been Settled

In three years, in Scandinavia, a lot of changes have taken place, what was mentioned before is only a part, it is not only the Baltic Empire that is developing, there are never only a few smart people, how to develop, how to be strong, such things, many people do not understand, even if they do not understand, they only need to learn from the experience of successful people.

It is necessary to talk about the remnants of the Attila Empire in detail, although they are called remnants, although they have lost the most core territory of the empire, in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat power gap caused by the departure of centaurs and dragons has not been completely made up, but their high-end combat power has not been lost, if in terms of overall combat effectiveness, they are still the strongest force in Scandinavia.

The remnants of the Attila Empire, they now occupy almost two-fifths of the territory of Scandinavia, and it is a vast area in the east of Scandinavia, mainly plains, whether it is used for the cultivation of crops or the development of animal husbandry, can support the development of the current Attila Empire.

After the previous experience and lessons, the famine began to formalize the army, except for the interests of the other races except the White Bears and Mammoths, and the defeat that led to the Third Western Crusade made him understand that the empire he thought was unbreakable was actually full of all kinds of problems, and a series of victories brought not only cheers, but also covered up all kinds of problems, the world is very big, and there are many strong people, and in the case of not being able to win all the time, one defeat can bury all the victories he has won before.

How did the Attila Empire, which seemed so powerful that it only needed one victory to unify the entire Northlands, collapse? They had been studying this question for a long time, and had obtained some answers that were enough for them to warn, and after putting aside their pride as legends and victorious people, all that remained to do was to keep their feet on the ground and move forward step by step.

There is no need to mention the battle on the front line, it has been briefly introduced before, and now it needs to be said that famine and plague are about a question of internal reform, before carrying out reforms, they have studied the system and policy of the Baltic Empire in detail, which is inevitable, after all, learning from the powerful, from the victors, this is the truth that all people know, and they can understand the most basic instinct.

Only by learning can you progress, otherwise you will be eliminated by this cruel society, this cruel world, when the enemy continues to advance, if you are still stagnant, you will eventually become the bait of the victor.

The gnolls and the new trolls at the bottom have gained the right, and Hogg and the leader of the new trolls have really entered the decision-making circle of the Attila Empire, of course, their right to speak still needs to rely on their pay, their strength to decide, but compared to the previous one, it is much better to only pay but not gain.

On the Gnoll side, in order to prevent the Gnolls from becoming a second centaur and abandoning the Empire to the Baltic Empire, in order to maintain their loyalty to the Attila Empire, Famine fulfilled the promise he had given them before, handing over a fertile territory to them, so that they could develop with peace of mind and dedicate their strength to the Empire as much as they could.

On the troll side, there are a little less, on the one hand, because they have just joined the empire, it is not suitable to give them too many rewards and rewards, and they need to take into account the thoughts of the original forces within the empire, considering whether the distribution of interests will cause potential contradictions, and on the other hand, it is also to give them the direction to move forward, if they have obtained what they want and have no desire, then it is conceivable that they will not fight bravely on the battlefield.

In terms of the dragon legion, the escape of some dragons did cause the Attila Empire to lose a certain air advantage, but after Scandinavia took root, the dragon army quickly completed the reconstruction, because after the failure of the western expedition, the Attila Empire began to contact the dragons living in this area, especially the green dragons.

Most of Scandinavia's green dragons live in the plains and forests of eastern Scandinavia, which are now under the rule of the Attila Empire, and after that battle, the coalition led by Gohm disbanded and each dragon returned to his own territory.

Then the messenger of the Attila Empire, Plague, led several dragons to the door, they first beat these dragons, and after letting the other party recognize the difference in combat power between the two sides, they put forward the conditions of the Attila Empire, they can keep their territory and treasure, and the Attila Empire recognizes their status and territory, and then Attila is willing to pay the treasure to hire these dragons to participate in the war, and in the distribution of the spoils after the war, these dragons will be given a satisfactory distribution plan.

The dragons could not refuse the temptation of wealth, and after they recognized the previous disparity in force between the two sides, and confirmed that the other party would not erode their vested interests, they were easily captured by the temptation given by Attila, and they did not think that the other party would break the promise, because the previous black dragon and red dragon had such conditions with the Empire.

Neither the Scandinavian Empire nor the Scandinavian coalition were aware of the changes that had taken place within the Attila Empire, and they did not realize that their enemies had let go of their arrogance as victorious kings, and were serious and down-to-earth in developing the empire, turning the once empty foundation into a solid foundation, and transforming the loot they had obtained into the foundation of the empire.

If nothing happens, the Attila Empire will return to its heyday within a few years, and lead the army again on a thwarted expedition to complete the conquest of all of Scandinavia, at which point the divided Scandinavian Empire and the combined forces of Gohm will not be a match for the Attila Empire, either tactically or strategically.

If there is a possible accident, it is the gods in the void, this is a factor that no one can confirm, even for people like Sigourney and Siegel, the relationship with the gods is intermittent.

Because their relationship with each other is one-sided, it does not mean that they can contact the gods if they want to, but the gods are willing to pay attention to them, and only the gods have the initiative, not mortals in the main plane.

Sigourney and Siegel, no matter how famous and powerful they are on the main plane, in the eyes of the gods, although Sigourne is said to be a descendant of Odin, but even the gods, not even the descendants of the demigods, they don't know how many are in this crystal wall system, they will give Sigourney respect, but in essence, it is based on the respect of her bloodline, not the respect of Sigoarney as a person.

Siegel is similar, but his relationship with the god of fire and mischief behind him is more like a collaborator with a common purpose and common interests, and there is awe, but if Siegel is really a devout god, he will not really destroy Barusinger.

And except for the other empire that is really the most powerful empire in the North, occupying the largest territory and having the most armies, its attitude is particularly important, if this empire supports one of the three, then the other two can only meet the end of defeat.

There is nothing to talk about, after three years, they already have to look up to the Baltic Empire, even if it is a flat A, the Baltic Empire can easily occupy Scandinavia.

Now the only thing that can prevent the Baltic Empire from unifying the whole of the Northland is the plan of the Baltic Empire, because not only in terms of war, but also economically, and politically, the Baltic Sea has almost completed its control of the Northland.

Needless to say, economically, after the policy of turning exports to domestic sales, the Baltic Empire passed the stage of difficult liquidity flow as planned, and then completely completed the industrialized empire, and began to manufacture all kinds of goods frantically at full power.

These goods flow into Scandinavia and into the North Sea Pirate Kingdom through various channels at extremely low prices, even below cost, and most people will know how to choose when faced with these high-quality, cheap goods.

People without knowledge are even more ignorant than they think, and even if people like Siegel and Gorm take corresponding measures, they cannot stop the people from pursuing their own interests.

And the products made by the small Scandinavian workshops, the equipment and potions produced by the dwarves and elves have been seriously impacted, and there is no way to do it, in the face of streamlined, mass-produced, and commodity dumping, there is no power to resist the lack of productivity.

Even if every commodity is losing money, but for the current Baltic Empire, this is not an unbearable loss at all, after squeezing competitors to death, completely occupying the market, and completing the monopoly, you can price as much as you want.

At that time, it should not be surprising that even an ordinary weapon can be sold for a box of pearls and gemstones, because this is already a complete seller's market, the pricing power is in the hands of the seller, and the buyer can only do it and not buy it, there is no other choice.

It can be said that the economy of Scandinavia and the North Sea has been completely in the hands of the Baltic Empire, and what the empire wants will go up, and what it wants will go up, and what it wants will go down, then that thing will become very cheap.

This is true of the economy, as well as the politics of economic influence, during which the heads of too many tribes have been replaced, and a large number of people who have received aid from the Baltic Empire have ascended to the position of chief.

On the other side of the North Sea, too, some pirate groups that were unable to develop quickly due to their own resources swelled rapidly in a short period of time, and they acquired brand new pirate ships, possessed terrible weapons of war, and spellcasters appeared on top of the ships.

In the face of such pirates, let alone ordinary merchants, even those elite pirates of the North Sea Pirate Kingdom are not their opponents, on the sea, because of the distance, the strength of the warriors is limited to the top of the ship.

Most battles take place before broadside battles, especially with spellcasters, and often the two ships that are fighting are not close to each other to distinguish between victory and defeat.

Francis Drake certainly understood what was going on, it was a small-scale conflict in the face of a formal war without tearing her face, and it was also the revenge of the Baltic Empire for her previous renunciation of the Covenant.

I have to say that this kind of revenge is very lethal to a country with a special nature like the North Sea Pirate Kingdom, and the reason why those pirates below are pirates and become pirates proves that these people have their own ambitions.

When they gain the support of the Baltic Empire and think they have the power to fight against the North Sea Pirate Kingdom and to deal with Francis Drake, they will raise the banner of their rebellion.

In the past three years, although the North Sea Pirate Kingdom still exists nominally and is still a complete country, in essence, the country has been divided into more than a dozen forces, and a dozen pirates who are only slightly weaker than Francis Drake have secretly formed an alliance to fight against Francis Drake.

They may not be Francis Drake's opponents in strength alone, and even if they join forces to fight it out on the sea, they will be easily defeated by the other side, but they have the advantage in numbers, and when Francis Drake deals with one of them, the others will attack Francis Drake's rear from other angles.

As long as Francis Drake dies, this so-called kingdom of loose pirates will be completely destroyed, like a flash in the pan, and will not leave much record in history.

Francis Drake, very strong, very strong, she can be called invincible on the sea, because her ability to control the storm, no matter what kind of enemy she faces, can be called invincible.

Francis Drake, very weak, very weak, her personal combat power is not very strong, and because of her big personality, it is easy to ignore small things, and if you want to assassinate her, it is easy to complete such a task.

The reason why no one has assassinated them until now is because the most powerful assassination group in the Northland needs to obey the orders of the Baltic Empire, and Francis Drake is a friend of the master of the Baltic Empire, and the pirate kingdom she established is a solid ally of the Baltic Empire.

The Hassans refused all orders to assassinate Francis Drake, and such refusal continues to this day.
