773 Cooperation and Reciprocity

Although the two sides had an insoluble grudge, the Attila Empire did not neglect Sigourney in terms of etiquette, arranging the most luxurious rooms and the most delicious food for her, and letting some impeccable maids provide her with the most meticulous service, and she was the first guest to receive such a grand reception in the Attila Empire for so many years.

Sigourney didn't take this to heart, her attention was on how to communicate with Attila and persuade her to agree to her terms, so that the two countries could truly unite to deal with a powerful enemy like the Baltic Empire, and only this matter was the most urgent.

Even though she was able to meet with Attila every day and have dinner with her, the results she achieved were very limited, and she did not receive any useful commitments, nay, she could even say that she had no way to communicate with Attila at all.

Unlike the powerful and cruel king on the battlefield, Attila is like a three-nil girl with autism, and it is difficult to communicate with her.

When Sigourney thought that this situation would continue for some time, and when the knights returned to negotiate with her before they could settle the matter of cooperation between the two sides, the figure that suddenly appeared next to Attila one night made it impossible for her to maintain a steady look on her face.

Entering the dining room, Sigourney did not greet Attila as usual and sat down, but stopped, assuming a battle posture as if facing a great enemy, she saw the old man she had not seen for a long time, and brought her a bad memory, a character that could be described as an enemy.

Beside Attila she saw a full-body armor that looked like fire and blood, and there was only one of them in the entire Northland, in Sigoarney's impression.

One of the four knights who followed Atila was the commander of the army for many purposes, commanding the two battles of great disparity in Scandinavia.

"War!"

The appearance of the war, which had been confirmed to be dead, had a violent impact on Sigoney's spirit, and she raised her hand to wipe her eyes in a frenzy, and pinched the back of her hand vigorously to make sure that the person who appeared in front of her was not a hallucination.

If the current war is indeed the one she knows, then the death of the other knight can also appear in front of her eyes, and when the Attila Empire gathers four knights again, the strength of the Attila Empire needs to be re-evaluated, and the balance of power between the two sides is not equal.

Sigoarney, who fought with the four knights, knew very well that the gathering of the four knights was not a simple two plus two, but like a chemical reaction, it brought earth-shaking changes to the Attila Empire.

It was as if the battle that had taken place many years ago, Scandinavia would have fallen in the first attack of Atila had it not been for the female warrior from Ulster who had held back a few knights.

Well, the Ulster warrior who was able to resist the four knights by force had gone from being an ally to an enemy now, and she wasn't the most intractable of the enemies.

Even more tricky is Alice, in addition to having unrivaled strength, she also has a strong man with superior intelligence, and an enemy with no weaknesses who is almost perfect.

"Ah, it's me. ”

War stretched out his hand and shook it, it was like greeting Sigourney, there were many differences between the war at this time and Sigourney's memory, except for her appearance.

Beside him, Atila sat down with a calm face, eating the food on her plate with her spoon as usual, unconcerned about the unusual atmosphere of the war and Sigoaney.

Seeing that the war did not mean to go toe-to-toe with her, Sigourney took a deep breath and calmed down her inner turmoil, she slowly walked to the other side of Atila, pulled out a chair and sat down, but in the process, her eyes did not take off the war.

In addition, she also secretly prepared magic, it was impossible to escape at this time, and she did not think that she would be able to escape from the core area of the Attila Empire in front of two strong men.

Rather than running away, she had a better choice, and that was to use the means of burning jade to restrain the other party, so as to maintain the balance between the two sides and allow the conversation between the two sides to continue.

In fact, Sigoura's thoughts are overwhelmed, and there is no reason why the Attila Empire will not be able to consider the things she can consider, no matter what, the Attila Empire can get to the point where it is now, and it is absolutely impossible for a few people in the ruling class to not have a little bit of wisdom.

Now the Attila Empire has indeed reached a very critical moment, and cooperation with the United Kingdom has become very urgent and urgent, and Sigourney is not on their list until the threat of the Baltic Empire is resolved.

War watched her nervous as if she were on the verge of an enemy, and didn't interrupt her thoughts, knowing that he needed time for Sigourney to digest what had happened to him here.

The premise of cooperation is that there is good faith on both sides, so the war will not be communicated while Sigourney is not in a state, and his purpose is actually the same as Sigourney's.

"Why didn't you die. ”

This is the answer to the question that Sigourney wants to know the most, if the war is here, then is it that Beowulf is not dead, still alive in some corner of this world, will appear in this war, and bring variables to this war.

If Beowulf were still alive, what choice would he make in the current situation, whether to side with Scandinavia and fight alongside his former enemies, or to side with the Yeats and join the Baltic Empire and appear on the battlefield as their enemy.

This can even be said to be an important factor that can influence the current Scandinavian battlefield, if Beowulf can join the United Kingdom, then you can imagine how bad news it will be for the Baltic Empire, and the Yeats within the empire are likely to refuse to participate in this war because of Beowulf.

And if Beowulf joins the Baltic Empire and fights for the Yeats, it will also be very bad news for the United Kingdom, and the morale will be further reduced, and they will not be able to imagine their idol becoming their enemy and appearing on the battlefield.

"I survived, Beowulf didn't. ”

War knew what Sigourney was saying, and he knew what Sigourney was worried about.

Sigourney sighed at the words of war, and she didn't know whether she should be glad that Beowulf didn't survive at this time, or whether she should regret not being able to meet the hero who turned the tide.

"Sigourney, you don't think that Beowulf died in the battle with me. It's a shame, but Beowulf is a tough opponent to take seriously. ”

War held the glass and shook it gently, the wine in the glass glowing with a charming sheen in the candlelight, which made the atmosphere in the restaurant slightly less tense.

The words of war gave Sigourney a bad feeling, and she wrinkled her brows, staring at the war and not speaking. Rather than making unreliable speculations, Sigourney prefers to wait for the rest of the war.

"Beowulf didn't die at our hands. ”

It was impossible to see the war's expression through the visor, but the sarcasm in his tone could not be concealed, and he might have read Sigony's inner thoughts through her expression.

Sigourney was directly stunned by this sentence, she could not imagine that the war would say such a thing, and she could not imagine that Beowulf did not die at the hands of the Attila Empire.

If Beowulf hadn't died at the hands of the Attila Empire, then there would have been only one answer, and no matter how unbelievable, that answer would be the truth.

"Beowulf, did he die at the hands of Alice?"

Sigourney asked, her voice very dry, sounding like a traveler who hadn't drunk water in the desert for a long time, and if she could, she hoped to get a negative answer from the mouth of the war.

"Well, in a sense, he did die at Alice's hands. In the end, none of us was able to give him a decent funeral. ”

War put down the cup in his hand and nodded heavily, with regret in his tone. Even as an enemy, he still respects Beowulf, and as a warrior, he doesn't want Beowulf to leave like this.

His words are indeed true, but the content is very easy to misunderstand, and if you don't care too much, you will fall into his trap.

"It turns out that you were prepared so early?"

Sigourney stood up from her position, her face facing the reassurance of the south, and gritted her teeth. At this time, hatred for Alice welled up in her heart.

This was due to the hatred of the Scandinavians, and if Beowulf's death was the result of Alice's calculations, then everything that happened throughout Scandinavia after that was inextricably linked to Alice.

Whether it was the destruction of Barusenger, the rise and fall of the Scandinavian Empire, the emergence of the United Kingdom, or the stagnation of the Attila Empire, there was the Baltic Empire behind the push, with Alice's calculations.

No, there was no Baltic Empire at that time, and Alice at that time only barely entered the eyes of the people with a weak army and her own strong strength, and even the territory was only undeveloped Jutland, which was completely the size of a small village.

Thinking very carefully

Sigouray's face grew pale, and as she pondered the changes that had taken place in the Northlands over the decades, she realized what a formidable opponent she was facing.

In this chess game, the enemy had already begun to fall many years ago, and when she just left the starting point, the opponent had already reached the end of the line, and she was just about to make the last kick.

If someone told Sigourney at this time that Alice could predict the future, watch the long river of fate, and be able to arrange it more than ten years or decades in advance, she would believe it.

For many people, the strength of the enemy is never invincible, and what really makes people feel desperate is the kind of enemy who is talented, willing to work hard, patient, and lucky.

Obviously, the enemy that now appears before the United Kingdom and the Attila Empire is the enemy with such an element, an enemy who has racked his brains and cannot find a way to defeat it.

Sigourney sat down slowly, her right hand gripping the arm of the chair hard, her face bloodless and her lips pale as if she had just experienced a serious illness.

She took a few deep breaths again, calmed down her excitement, barely suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, maintained her demeanor on the surface, and continued to ask.

"Why tell me the news. ”

Sigoarney's question made the war laugh, and even Attila, who was listening quietly next to her, put down her knife and fork, stopped putting food into her mouth, and turned her head to look at Sigoarney with blazing eyes.

"It's sincerity, Sigoarney. ”

"In the face of such an enemy, if we can't even be honest, then we don't have to cooperate in the future. ”

Sigourney felt very unbelievable by the light smile of the war, she understood the message of the war discourse, but she could not accept that the surprise came so suddenly.

"Cooperation?war, do you mean that we are going to cooperate with each other?Is the Attila Empire willing to join forces with the United Kingdom to deal with the invasion of the Baltic Empire? ”

Sigoarney's surprised rhetorical question made War shake his head.

"Didn't you come here in the hope that we would be able to cooperate with the United Kingdom? Don't be too much of a fool at this time, Sigoarney. ”

"Siegmund has been defeated at the hands of Siegmund and the United Kingdom has lost the possibility of fighting on its own, and the only way to win is if we join forces and work together. ”

The words of war made Sigourney want to refute it, but she had to admit that what the war said was true, and that there was not much time left for them now, and they should not continue to worry about it at this time.

She had indeed come here to be able to gain the help of the Attila Empire, and this cooperation and alliance had unspeakable benefits for both sides, and she could not find any reason to refute it.

Today's dinner brought her a lot of bad news that was enough to frighten her, but at the same time she had obtained the good news she had worked so hard to get, and in the big picture of the union, the next thing was to bargain in the more detailed places.

Seeing the war shake with Sigoney, Atira got up and left the room, leaving room for the two to talk and discuss how to work together.

The most important of these is the need to contain the offensive of the Baltic Empire and halt their advance.
