Chapter 416: Unification War (1)
When Alice returned to Jutland's abode to discuss and analyze the future with Skaha, time on the main plane continued to move forward.
Perhaps because Siegel completed the conquest of the elven village and allowed those old-fashioned and stubborn elves to successfully join his army, Loki felt that Siegel could unify the entire Scandinavian Peninsula in a very short time and establish the great Scandinavian Empire, so he began to order Kemi, at the behest of his army, to move to Gothic and join Siegel's men.
The elite of the three thousand centaurs, in addition to the valuable equipment on their bodies, each of them was a strong man who had successfully survived the battle with Attila, and they were all experienced warriors.
Even if you don't take into account the ability to fight in groups and scouts, and take them out separately and compare them with the Berserkers of Scandinavia, they are not inferior at all in the plains and forests, and they will never be defeated if they cannot be defeated.
In addition, there are 10,000 servant troops composed of jackals, kobolds, werewolves, etc., purely from the perspective of combat effectiveness, they are not as good as the 3,000 centaur troops, but in terms of hunting and pursuit, they have very good abilities, used as scouts, their excellent sense of smell, make them more competent than centaurs.
These are basically Kemi's other hole cards except for the frost giant, Atira's army is not a good enemy, and fighting with them, there will be a large number of casualties every day, so losing these centaurs and servant troops, the frost giant was forced directly to the edge of the cliff, and one foot has already stepped on the outside of the cliff, it only needs a gentle push from Atira.
Just after the second rain of summer, the air was still filled with the fragrance of rain and the earth, under the leadership of Atira, his army launched an attack on the city of the frost giant, and the first to recover from his injuries and join the battlefield of Beamon, the terrifying beast directly used violence to tear down the main city of the frost giant into pieces, and the wall building made of stone and wood was not stronger than tofu in front of a giant beast like Beamon.
After that, the colorful light that fell from the sky destroyed a quarter of the city in an instant, and at the same time disappeared hundreds of elite frost giants, and then the morale of the Atila army launched a general attack on the panicked frost giants.
This time, the main force of the Attira army is the White Bear and the Mammoth, and the Jackals and Centaurs are difficult to damage the Frost Giant due to their size, especially the low temperature environment around the Frost Giant, which further reduces their combat effectiveness.
The White Bear and the Mammoth, purely in terms of individual strength, they are only inferior to the Frost Giants, plus the absolute number and equipment on their bodies, they will not be afraid of each other when they fight on the battlefield.
The forces of the White Bear and the Mammoths were the best-preserved of Atira's army, and they were also the strongest army she could control except for the dragons.
The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the power of the Frost Giants caused a lot of trouble for the Atilla army, who liked to use heavy weapons and would die if they were swept lightly.
In the end, relying on the tactics of squad combat, relying on the superiority in numbers, taking turns to attack, little by little, the two sides fought fiercely in the city for three days before defeating the frost giant.
But it was only defeated, not all of them were annihilated, after a brutal battle, Attila's army did not have the extra strength to complete the final blow, after all, their enemies were races that could fight with the gods, no matter how weak the strength of these in the main plane was now, they were also frost giants.
The Frost Giants were able to abandon their cities and leave their homeland, fleeing into the snowy mountains and ice fields, a land called Kora, colder, more desolate, and more primitive than Kemi.
There are basically no traces of intelligent life in that land, and even the most widely distributed creatures will dislike the barrenness of this land, there are no forests, no plants, no animals and no birds, only the occasional moss under the ice, so that this land is not called a forbidden area of life.
In such a complex and unfamiliar environment, there is no way to kill the frost giants by relying on the white bears and mammoths, and if the strength of the individual cannot be superior, no matter how many people come, they will only become the objects of the frost giants' hunting in the snowy mountains and ice fields.
The condition of the frost giants who managed to escape was not good, their number was less than a thousand, and the rest of them were the feats and glory of the Atila army in that brutal street battle, and more importantly, now that they had lost the city, they could only feed their hunger with moss.
Without medicine and supplies, the badly injured Frost Giants die of illness every day, and the remaining Frost Giants will be able to eat the meat they have not seen for a long time...... Originally, the Frost Giants were a barbarian people with a low level of civilization, and like the Gnolls, they did not have much of a burden on them by feeding on the corpses of their dead compatriots.
They knew that they had been abandoned by Loki, because the relationship between the two sides was only a collaborator, and the Frost Giant, out of his own arrogance, could not accept the fact that he was ruled by Attila, and Loki also had his ambitions, wanting to take advantage of the current situation in the main plane and squeeze benefits from it.
As for the centaurs, those who accepted Loki's orders and joined the Gothic army were Loki's support for Siegel, as well as a kind of surveillance and control, and the more Siegel relied on Loki's power, the more Loki's control over him was firm.
Loki, known as the god of mischief and turning the gods who also live in Asgard, knows that for people like Siegel, the so-called faith is just a tool that can be used, and if Loki hinders his progress, then Siegel will definitely abandon him and turn to other gods.
Having the faith of a Scandinavian king, perhaps even Odin would not be able to resist such temptations, it was worth the gods to make promises and blessings for him, and to shield him from revenge from Loki.
When the army was drawn into the Gothic kingdom, Attila put down the rebellion once and for all, and Siegel, who had been given a fresh army on the other side, began to attack the lands he did not control.
The elven forces attacked Akershus from the south, and the leader of Akershus, Alf, resisted for only three weeks before being shot into a hedgehog by the elves' bows and arrows.
The force of 300 men, including only 20 berserkers, did not even have a legend, and such a force may still be in the middle of the previous Scandinavian tribes, and it can still resist the invasion of invaders by virtue of its geographical advantage.
But when the sons of the forest began to attack them from the southern forest, the forest that Akershus had been relying on for defense turned into a playground for the enemy.
There was no formal engagement, and as if hunted by hunters, most of the Akershus were shot through the throat with bows and arrows without even seeing the appearance of the enemy.
The remaining Akershus army tried to flee back to their city, relying on strong walls for defense, but they were attacked by elven druids on the way, and the trees in the forest turned into the most terrible weapons, easily crushing the demoralized Akershus army, and finally even Alf, the chief of the Akershus tribe, became a captive of the elves.
The main army was annihilated, the chieftain became a prisoner of the enemy, compared the combat strength of the two sides, and looked at the walls made of trees and stones, and the commander who remained in the city chose to surrender very wisely.
Among them, the elves under the banner of Goth became the decisive factor, because the next king of Goth has the blood of Barusenger and is a descendant of Odin, so it is not difficult to accept the descendants who surrender to the gods.
Otherwise, with Alice, with the general character and muscular brains of the Scandinavians, even the last person left, they would wield their weapons and die standing.
To the south, the elves captured Akershus, while Siegel led a large army to attack Sadmanland, the land of the Jeats, the territory of Beowulf's kingdom.
Strength swelled to a certain extent, and even his heart began to swell, and Siegel brazenly attacked Beowulf's country on the grounds that his unborn son should be the co-lord of the Scandinavians.
The Yeats did not expect that Siegel, who had only preliminarily completed the internal cleanup of the Gothic Kingdom, would actually attack them at this time, let alone that a group of powerful centaurs would appear in Siegel's army.
The sheer stone walls they had built were of no use to the skilled Centaurs, and if they dared to show their heads on the walls, the Centaurs' arrows would have struck them in the throat and killed them.
The dwarven creations of Siegel's army only took three disappearances and twenty ammunition to knock a large hole in the city gate, and the berserkers who followed rushed into the city through the gap.
The Siegel army, which was better in equipment, quantity, and quality than the other party, soon gained the upper hand, controlling the rhythm and situation of the entire battlefield, and the war weapons loyal to Siegel ignored the cries of the Yeats and sent them to the underworld with blades and magic.
The Yeats did not resist without resistance, but their resistance also caused a few waves at most, without much effect, which was due to their lack of preparation, and more importantly, because of the previous battles, the elite of the Yeats either died on the battlefield of the two defensive battles in Scandinavia, or died in the land of Karelia, and most of the remaining ones were placed by the current king in Uppland, the core territory of the Yaats.
"Yestrickland, Upland, Oran. ”
"There are three more, and the land of the Jeats will be taken by us. ”
Sitting in the slightly dilapidated Sudmanland City Hall, Siegel looked to the north and said.
He didn't know that the Frost Giants had been defeated, that Attila had begun to purge and organize all of his realms, and that Alice had caused him some serious trouble.
"Let them hurry, they must be packed before dark, and we will go to Upplan. ”
Siegel commanded his men next to him.
After conquering Sademanland, Siegel let go of his control over the army, giving them half a day to plunder the city, and the goods, money, and women in the city were all at their mercy during this half day.
This is the means and habit of the Scandinavians to motivate the army, so when the Scandinavians are engaged in siege battles, they can attack without fear of death against falling rocks and arrows, and will step on blood and corpses and throw death behind.
"Isn't that the capital of the Yeats? Master, from the information from the captives, the Yeats have concentrated the rest of their forces in Upplan. ”
The druid, who was next to Siegel as a guard, hurriedly reminded him that since the last battle against the elves, Siegel had regained his mood, listened carefully to the opinions of his subordinates, put aside his arrogance and complacency for the time being, and turned back into the gothic virtuous king.
"It is precisely because Upland is their capital, concentrating the remaining army and strength of the Yeats, that I have set my next target on them. ”
Siegel patiently explained that Siegel now knew the importance of talent to the whole country, and he knew that it was impossible to build a Scandinavian empire on his own, and he needed excellent people to assist him.
"Now our strength is stronger than the other side, the equipment, tactics, and morale are also stronger than the other side, taking advantage of the fact that we are at the peak now, we will knock down Upland in one breath and not give them time to react and escape. ”
"If we can't get rid of them all in one go, let them run away and scatter, and then deal with us like the centaurs did with Atira, then it will be even more expensive to destroy them. ”
Kemi's centaurs have joined Siegel's ranks, and the centaurs have told Siegel about their battle with Atila, letting him know how the centaurs fought against Atila with their weak strength.
