Why Attila's army was targeting the city of Upplan, many people can't understand the question, and it's hard to think about why Attila made such a choice.

As the attacking party, Ming Ming has the initiative to attack, and can find any point from the long coastline of Scandinavia to land and attack.

Instead, Attila chose Upland, the former capital of the Yaats, a city made of stone, second to none in terms of walls and other aspects.

Especially now that the Goths are repairing the city, repairing the damage caused by the last war, and adding various defenses and equipment, the already strong city has become even stronger, like a turtle shell, and the whole city has been made into a fortress specially made for war.

In essence, in addition to the traps, equipment, etc., in order to prevent the shamans in the Atila army from destroying them with magic such as [Seismic] and "Earth Shaking and Mountain Shaking", the things made by the Yaats were further strengthened.

There are hundreds of enchantments in the sky of the city, layered on top of each other, one after the other, forming a huge net, which actually has little effect and defensive ability, but is purely used to limit the flight ability of dragons, wyverns, and thunderbirds.

Of course, because the Attila army has a large number of adult dragons, and every adult dragon is a legend, with the fighting power of the Scandinavians, with their few spellcasters, there is no way to achieve complete voiding, such a thing.

This large composite enchantment can only limit their movements, reduce the altitude and speed of their flight, and prevent them from wantonly attacking the ground army.

There was no way, because the Scandinavians had no troops to fight in the air, and they had to do the only way to fight in the air, or to have the druids transform into battle themselves.

However, this method can be very limited, and a long-range attack from the ground to the sky is like an anti-aircraft gun hitting mosquitoes, and the hit rate is impressive, and sending out a druid will make the caster troops thin in the first place.

In such a large-scale war, if your own spellcaster troops are unable to gain an advantage in the battle against the opponent's spellcaster troops, then at least they must be able to stop the enemy spellcasters, restrain their energy, and make it impossible for them to concentrate on casting magic.

Otherwise, imagine a war in the Baltic Sea on a grand scale, with a nine-figure number of combatants, involving all the forces under the entire Baltic Sea.

In terms of numbers, the situation is superior, and when victory is about to be achieved, because the spellcaster troops of the merfolk and the kraken, plus Alice's assistance, turn the situation back alive.

If the spellcasters on the fish-man's side were still able to operate normally, they were not so radical and anxious, and still took a step-by-step steady approach, then in the end, no matter whether Alice was serious or not, in such a large-scale war involving such a large number of people, there was no way for her to turn the situation around with just her combat strength.

We don't know what Attila thought, and perhaps even the knights who were closest to him and most loyal to her could not really understand her thoughts, or know the meaning of her every move, unless she said it herself.

However, the knights would not pay attention to other things, no matter what Attila thought, no matter what Attila ordered, they would only do one thing, and that was to carry out Attila's will thoroughly and bring Attila what she wanted.

Well, no matter why Atila chose Upland as the landing site, no matter why she would target a city that had been armed with a tortoise shell and made a fortress.

The fact that the Atila army was ready and ready for war was not going to change the fact that the centaurs and gnolls were already in the vicinity of Upland.

They did not attack Upland, but just roamed around the city of Upplan, wandering around it, gathering intelligence on the area.

Gathering intelligence, especially near the battlefield, is especially important for an army at any given time, allowing them to find favorable terrain and set up camp in a position where the enemy may be attacking.

Fortunately, the Scandinavians had already learned from the captured centaur about the Attila army, their specific directions, their numbers, and their rough logistics.

The city of Upplan had been cleared of the surrounding walls, all the animals had been driven away, hunted, and stored for food, and the springs that had not yet frozen had been destroyed by magic, leaving as little supplies as possible for the Attila army.

The Scandinavians knew that even if the logistics of the Attila army had begun to return to normal, the poor transportation situation and the long supply lines were affecting the situation of the entire army.

Otherwise, Siegel would not have made the plan to evacuate all the men and supplies into the mountains of Norway at the beginning, relying on the harsh climate and complex environment there, as well as the legendary beasts hidden in the mountains, to fight a protracted war against the Atila army.

Fortunately, the Balts reminded the Scandinavians in such a tactful way, that they should be ready for war, ready to fight the enemy head-on, and to make use of the hard walls built during the Beowulf period in this Yeats homeland.

In the city of Upland, there are plenty of water, food, and wooden stone arrows and axes, as well as a lot of rolling logs and the like.

The clear water had been magically processed so that it was always in a liquid state, not turned into snow or ice due to the cold weather, and the supplies stored here were enough to spend years on the defense of the city now.

Throwing axes are good to say, arrows have never been something that Scandinavians are used to, and it would be better if they were replaced with javelins, which is what most Scandinavians think.

However, the idea is that the truth is different, in the defensive battle of defending the city, standing on the city wall to counterattack, in the crowded formation with people in front and behind, left and right, there is no room to throw javelins, as long as the movement is larger, it will touch the people around you.

And the javelin is a thing that can only show its strength if it is run and stretches its entire body.

Therefore, compared to the javelin, the bow and arrow that only need to open the bow and arrow to present a 45-degree angle to produce a not weak effect are the choice they use for defense, second only to the choice of throwing axes.

The Scandinavians stood on the towering walls, and with a condescending view, they could see the enemies wandering around the city, and the centaurs running outside the city.

The warriors of Uppland were typical Scandinavians, and when they saw the arrogance of the enemy, they would rush out and fight them with their weapons.

Even if they knew that it was impossible to chase the four-legged centaur on the plains, even if they knew that there was a high chance of death if they chased it, they felt that even if it was death, they should at least beat their momentum.

However, the Scandinavians did not succeed, and when they were fully armed and ready to open the gates and rush out, Siegmund appeared in front of them with a team of men and horses, and directly beat them to the ground by force, stopping them.

It was not that Zygmund had no other gentler way to solve the problem, to solve the problem of these men preparing to disobey his orders to go out of the city to fight the enemy.

Rather, in this city, although Siegmund was very eye-catching in the last war, and he still has the record of a legendary powerhouse in his hands, but in the eyes of others, especially people other than the Goths, the reason why the young Siegmund was able to be the commander of this battle and become the highest-ranking person in Upland City was because of the queen of the empire.

They believe that if Siegmund was not Siegel's brother-in-law, there would be no way to get the position he is in at his age, even if no one questions him now.

Under such circumstances, these warriors, who were ready to ignore Sigmund's orders and go out of the city to engage the enemy, became Siggmund's best and the best tools to use to build his prestige.

With absolute strength, it took Zigmund a few minutes to knock these guys down, making them incapacitated without damaging their lives.

After making them lose their combat effectiveness, Siegmund gave up, and in such a situation where the enemy had already appeared, there was a degree of such a thing as erecting prestige, and if there were casualties, especially death, then it would not be erecting prestige, but causing conflicts.

Scandinavians can accept an honorable death at the hands of their enemies, but they can never accept that their own lives will be lost for such ridiculous reasons, and their companions will not accept such a thing.

Deal with these guys, establish their authority, and make them understand that the reason why he was able to be the commander of this place is that Siegel will choose him, the enemy with a deep vendetta, over anyone else.

It was only hoped that the victory would be achieved, because among the people here, there was no one other than Siegmund who was more suitable for this position, and no one else could stand up to Attila's army.

With a wave of his hand, Siegmund did not look at the guys who had fallen to the ground, he clapped his hands and ordered them left and right, canceling the dinner of these guys as a punishment and a warning, hoping that the hungry body would calm them down, and remind them of the importance of this battle for the entire empire, for the entire Scandinavian people living here.

Although it is not that there are more severe punishments that can make them remember more clearly, but that will also affect their combat ability, and Siegmund does not want others to have the illusion that they will be punished as long as they make mistakes, and they can justifiably not go to the battlefield.

Not all of the people here are willing to come here and fight brutally, just as even among the Gnolls would be an alternative like Hogg.

Scandinavians also have cowards who are afraid of battle, they are afraid of death, they are afraid of fighting, and a large part of them are veterans who have survived many battles.

It is precisely because they have experienced many battles that they will have such a mentality, they have experienced such a battlefield of corpses and blood again, and they are afraid that they will not be able to survive after experiencing that battlefield again.

If they could, they didn't want to come here at all, they didn't want to fight the enemy who had caused Beowulf's death, but there was no way, they had no other choice.

As experienced veterans who had fought many battles, they had no way to disobey Siegel's orders, nor did they watch Attila's army come to this land, the land where they had lived for thousands of years.

They knew that if they didn't come here, then when Atila's army had landed, and when Siegel's plan for a protracted war had begun to be implemented, even their relatives would have to participate in the battle, and the underage children would have to take up their weapons and start fighting against the Attila army.

Compared with the fear of death, they can't accept that such things happen, and they can't accept that their children need to experience those cruel things at such a young age, and bear such a cruel reality with their young shoulders.

Once he had done this, Siegmund turned and left the place, as the manager of the city, the commander of the army, he still had a lot of work to do.

There was no way, here he had absolutely no one to trust, as the only male descendant of Ballusinger, all the people he could trust died at the hands of the Goths, at the hands of those whom he now had to help, who he had to protect.

Siegmund was afraid to confront the faces of the Goths below, many of whom were involved in the destruction of Barushinger, and he was afraid that one of them would kill his relatives and his people with a sword.

"Siegmund sir, the Atila army has a new move!"

Just as he was hurrying to his tent to process the mountain of official documents, a panicked order came to his ears, causing him to stop his progress.
