Chapter 466: The Western Expedition
[Literature Network] to provide you with wonderful reading.
Alice was still trying to get information from Sigmund that she couldn't resist contacting Sigourney when she didn't believe that her last brother and best relationship was so much valued by him.
After all, there is such a thing as sister control and brother control, which cannot be explained and elaborated with common sense, otherwise there would not be such a ...... in the world Well, there is still envy, jealousy and hatred in the tragedy, and there will not be so many performances of family ethics dramas.
However, the world will not stop because of Alice's lack of progress, and time will not stop moving forward, while she is still struggling in Scandinavia, trying to contact Sigourney to confirm her idea and get in touch with Siegel through her to find a way to deal with the upcoming third expedition of Artela.
Attila and her three remaining knights had also begun to prepare for war, and the goal was self-evident, as Alice and Siegmund had analyzed and conjectured, she had set her sights on the Scandinavian Empire, on Siegel.
However, for Attila, with her character, the choice of target, whether it is Siegel's Scandinavian Empire or Alice's Baltic Empire, does not really matter, and it is no different, after all, the left and right are enemies, and they are both enemies who must be destroyed and conquered.
The reason why the Scandinavian Empire was chosen instead of the Baltic Empire was the result of the discussion of the three knights, based on the principle that the persimmon should be pinched softly first, and after solving the Scandinavian Peninsula, the Baltic Empire, which has only a few small islands, is no longer a big problem, especially when the sea is frozen in winter.
For the chaos of the Rus steppe, Artela did not pay attention to it, or that the melee that affected the entire steppe, hundreds of tribes, and hundreds of thousands of people, in her eyes, was only an insignificant fight, compared to the war with the Scandinavians, compared to the rebellion of the frost giant centaurs, it can indeed only be described as insignificant.
Indeed, Alice and Semiramis spent a lot of energy and supplies, and the chaos caused by the Rus steppe lasted for about a month, and then it was easily solved by the plague among the three horsemen and led the army, and the nobles, shamans, and other people who were originally high were harvested by him like mustard, and their heads were piled up into a hill and made into a Jingguan, with a bloody and empty gaze, so that many people were frightened into a mental disorder at a single sight.
their property, Cattle were distributed to the tribesmen, slaves were freed, and the newly elected chiefs lay on the ground like docile puppies in the face of the usual blood, and a new order was established in the steppe, and then countless cattle were slaughtered to make air-dried meat, milk and goat's milk was made into cheese, fur sewn into clothes and leather armor, and the whole steppe was transformed into a huge processing plant, which solved the logistical worries of the Attila army, so that the soldiers could be fed, put on new clothes, and carry sharpened weapons。
In addition to this, the plague that came here soon found the cause of the chaos in the Rus' steppes, the dead merchants who were selling goods, but in fact were selling death, trafficking in war, and most of them came from the Baltic region...... Then, of course, the policy of seclusion and seclusion arose, stipulating that no one could trade with the Baltic merchants, neither sell what he had nor receive from them.
The violator, the undecayed Jingguan is telling everything, so that people can't rise up to the idea of disobeying the violation, at least after this time, this land that was conquered by Attila earlier, and the people who live here many years later will not have the idea of rebellion, even if the person who is not willing to be lonely wants to realize his ambitions, the people underground do not have the courage to follow.
As for the policy of closing the country, it was a slow bloodletting process for the Scandinavian Empire, and for the Baltic Empire, it was a lifeline for the blood supply, but for the Attila Empire, it was just an insignificant small problem, after all, in terms of the vastness of the land, the number of population, the quality of the army, and the amount of property, the Attila Empire was at the top of the three empires, and it was able to achieve self-sufficiency in all aspects without relying on the outside.
At the same time, because of the original economic culture of the Atila Empire and its backwardness, its commercial development is also very backward, even if all commercial and trade relations are cut off, the impact on the Atila Empire will be minimal, and there will be no shortage of food, clothing, and fuel...... Even if there is a real shortage of supplies, it is enough to start a war and kill some of the excess population, and then distribute the supplies to the rest.
This is the savage, primitive, bloody, and most primitive doctrine of the Attila Empire, the largest empire in the north established by the king of destruction, the king of conquest, and the whip of the gods, and it is also the most powerful.
This powerful empire has thrown away even the superficial prosperity that the gods have built, and everything that remains is difficult to define in terms of good or evil, or here, good and evil have lost the meaning that people originally gave them.
People who live in a peaceful world and only know peace
Living in a world of war, there are only people at war
The angles, depths, and ways of understanding the world are completely different, or even diametrically opposed, just like the opposite of black and white, and they can't get along or get along.
The rules that tear off even the camouflage on the surface are so cruel, yet so original and real, as if they were dark shadows exposed to the sun, ugly but real.
Because, in this powerful empire, all the rules are made by the girl in white who stands at the apex, and what she formulates is a cruel law of victory, a law that is much crueler than the axiological law pursued by Siegel
Therefore, in the empire, whether it is the powerful Three Knights, the Beamon Behemoth, or the most ordinary tribesmen underground, they all firmly believe that Attila will be able to lead them to victory, no matter who the enemy in front of them is, no matter how many times they have temporarily failed, the final victor will be Atira, and then Atira, who has won all the victories and stands at the apex of all, will write their justice...... After all, only those who win the final victory are the ultimate justice, which is the most cruel and the most simple truth.
Now, they are united around Attila, united under her banner, ready for a great war, different from all the wars that have come before, war of very different scale, number, strength, and cruelty, and perhaps many of them will not be able to see the so-called victory, nor will they see the day when their justice will be fully implemented, and even many of them will die in the cruel orders of Atera, at the hands of their own people or under the iron hooves.
However, there is nothing wrong with these things, they are not a big problem, and the people who can gather under Attila have very different nerves from normal people, or there is nothing wrong with calling them fanatics, and it seems that it is not very difficult to accept that in order for Attila to win and complete their common justice, it is not difficult to accept such a thing as just giving their lives.
"Victory, victory, victory!"
"Expedition to the West, Expedition to the West, Expedition to the West!"
"Atira, Atira, Atira!"
The warriors roared in a slightly neat line, the strongest being the Guards Legion of the White Bearmen, the Ice Giants, the Mammoths, the Centaurs, and the Gnolls...... Compared with the last expedition to the west, the army dispatched by Attila this time is not only superior in strength but also in numbers.
On the strongest side of the army was the huge Beamon beast, and Attila and three other knights were sitting in the small pavilion on Beamon's back, looking in the direction of the west.
This time they didn't plan to wait until winter came and the sea was frozen to attack, although that would save them a lot of effort, but in turn it would give the Scandinavians more time to prepare.
After all, the last two defeats have proved that the Scandinavians are not the weaklings they defeated before, if they are not fully prepared, if they do not really face the other side, after all, they have already failed twice with the same enemy, and it is not impossible to appear a third time.
The army slowly moved forward, in addition to the soldiers, the army was also mixed with dozens of times the number of wagons and ox carts, which were loaded with weapons, ammunition, food, clothes and other materials, which was also to learn from the experience of the failure of the second western expedition, to prevent the battle from being halfway through, but the other side destroyed the supply line.
The supply and transportation were the miscellaneous troops in the Atila army, or to describe them with the word "troops", it was also a compliment to them, even armor was not considered protection, and the rudimentary stone weapons in their hands could only rely on the superiority of numbers in real battles.
However, in addition to their performance on the battlefield, when they were stationed in camp, these motley units were able to exert remarkable results, quickly cooking food, leveling the land, setting traps, building rudimentary defensive equipment, and so on, and these chores played tricks in their hands, and they were extremely fast.
It is not surprising that this is a normal thing, and in the army of Attila, if even this little bit of function cannot be done, if this simple task cannot be completed, then there is no value in existing.
After being killed, the corpse will be used and thrown to the gnolls to solve the problem, even the corpse of a short halfling can meet the needs of about ten gnolls for a day, which also reduces the pressure of logistics in disguise.
The entire army was mighty, and from a distance, it was full of black heads, and there was no edge at all, but even so, those giant beasts were still very eye-catching.
Although the status of the centaurs in the Attila Empire has declined due to the rebellion, there are no rebellious centaurs, but their loyalty has also been recognized by Attila, and the task of scout reconnaissance has also been entrusted to them.
Five centaurs are a small team, centered on Beaton, where Attila is located, and there is a team of centaurs scouting every five degrees, they are preparing for possible attacks, after all, the troops on the march now have no combat effectiveness, and only a small group of elite troops can cut them in half, and then besiege and annihilate them.
If it is at night, it is even worse to receive a surprise attack when camping, in the dark environment, frightened warriors will attack everything around them wildly, and often after a night has passed, there are only three or four remaining troops left to fight.
The reconnaissance of the centaurs is only one aspect, and in the sky there is also a flying legion represented by the dragon, who are used as tree trunks, and the Thunderbird Wyvern as branches and leaves to form a flying legion that dominates the sky.
This time, they also came prepared, and they had prepared a way to deal with spells such as the forbidden sky early, and they were also determined to wash away the shame of being played by Alice alone...... Even if their targets this time around, the Scandinavian Empire and the Baltic Empire are two separate powers.
Because of the sheer size of the army, and the behemoths of Beamon and Mammoth, the speed of the army's advance was delayed by the eyes until they were from Karelia
It's been a week since I set off, and I haven't made it to Finland yet.
Of course, a week also allowed the Scandinavian Empire and the Baltic Empire to get the movement of their armies and know where they were heading, so Siegel smashed the cup in a rage, and Semiramis happily threw a banquet.
Semiramis was undoubtedly happy that Attila was targeting the Scandinavian Empire, even if she also understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and knew that the Baltic Empire could not be alone in this battle, but happiness was joy, after all, in this way, the initiative of the battle completely fell into her hands.
How to deal with Attila's army, how to cause trouble for her, how to cause trouble, how to support the Scandinavian Empire, all up to her, and even when the battle between the two is in the final stage, she can send troops to make the Scandinavian Empire win a crushing victory, Attila will usher in defeat, and they will win...... Perhaps according to this plan, the two empires can be directly annexed in one go, and the Pan-Baltic region will be truly included in the empire's territory.
Well, it's good to think about all of the above, it's just theoretical...... After deeply realizing the terribleness of Atila, Semiramis did not dare to make such an unreliable plan full of risks, until it was foolproof, she would be a poisonous snake hidden deep in the grass for sale, as long as it did not appear, it was the most valuable time.
