Chapter 802: Battle of the Attila Empire (1)
The plague eventually managed to break out of the encirclement, and a figure like him at the pinnacle of legend would hardly be able to fall without a well-prepared trap.
The escape of the plague was certainly not unscathed, and he left several skeepakers given to him by the legend on his body, and his combat effectiveness would be affected in a short time.
With the plague wounded, the plague in the Baltic Empire's army was contained, and with the help of those spellcasters, the warriors regained their vitality and launched an assault on the realm of the Attila Empire.
With the surrender of the Sámi and the fall of the Sápmi, the entire western edge of the Attera Empire was left undefended, and in a full week, the Attera Empire lost three important cities, and five races declared their independence from the Atila Empire and joined the Baltic Empire like the Sámi.
These soldiers, who were still wearing the equipment of the Attila Empire, in order to make a name for themselves, in order to give them the trust of the Baltic Empire, in order to gain a position within the empire, and to get rid of the bad reputation of betrayal, they often asked to appear at the forefront of the battlefield, whether it was to persuade the enemy to surrender, or to defeat the enemy and occupy the army, it would be a real merit.
Not only have the cities been conquered, but the races below have chosen to turn their backs, the army of the Attila Empire is now in an extremely dangerous situation, and with the Baltic Empire targeting them, the number of White Bears and Mammoths is declining dramatically, and it has fallen to a dangerous situation.
They have lost a third of their adult warriors in this war so far, and the remaining warriors have no way to control the other armies, and the gnolls in the army have begun to challenge their position, and have begun to try to steal their voice and fight for power within the Attila Empire.
Not only that, but such a loss has seriously affected the fertility and reproduction of the White Bear and the Mammoth, and with the poor fertility of the White Bear and the Mammoth, it will take twenty years for them to return to the pre-war scale, and these twenty years are still without large-scale wars and disasters.
In the face of the continuation of the race, even the most loyal White Bears and Mammoths began to waver, and they began to find ways to get in touch with their compatriots in the Baltic Empire, hoping to leave a way for the future of their race.
Those were all sold to the Baltic Empire as slaves in the past, and with the strength of the White Bears and Mammoths, they easily got rid of their slave status and became free citizens of the Empire, even citizens.
According to the scheming elders of the tribe, their actions are not betraying the Attila Empire, they are just preserving the fire of the race, hoping that their race can continue to grow and grow over time.
Even if these old men gave their lives for the sake of the Attila Empire, their children would still be able to gain the protection of the victors, and more victories would be won with the victors.
At least, the names of the White Bear and the Mammoth cannot die out in their generation, and they cannot fall into the abyss of history with the Attila Empire.
The Baltic Empire was of course happy to see this happen, and this was the result of some of their plans, and being able to get races like the White Bears and Mammoths to join them would play an important role in changing the population of the Empire.
The Attila Empire tried to react to this, but found that there was no good way to solve the problem, and everyone knew that the best way was to win the war at a very small cost.
But everyone knows that this is absolutely impossible at this stage, and the Attila Empire has already fallen into this war, and no one can see the possibility of reversing it, at least for a short time.
With the plague wounded and the fall of Sapmi, the Attila Empire has entered the final limit of mobilization, and they have begun to gather all their soldiers and begin to deal with the environment around the capital.
Cutting down and burning all the trees, collecting everything that could be eaten, and destroying what could not be taken away, they were ready for a protracted war against the Baltic Empire here, and it was a protracted war that did not know when it would end in victory.
In addition, several legends of the Attila Empire will be engaged in guerrilla warfare outside with the army of the Gnolls, and they will use their familiarity with the environment to attack the logistics and transport forces of the Baltic Empire as much as possible.
This attack focused on caution, even if the gains were small, to preserve their own strength and not to be surrounded by the Baltic Empire's army.
As long as they do not fail, his presence can contain the attention of the Baltic Empire, and he will be able to share part of the pressure on the troops at the front and create opportunities for them.
It is not only the Attila Empire that feels that the end is coming, but also the loose tribes living in the Northland Ice Fields have begun to gather, and their individual tribes have no way to deal with the attacks of mercenaries, so they can only preserve their strength as much as possible through joint means.
In addition to this, the chieftains of these tribes began to relent, freeing the merchants they had captured, killing a number of nobles who had been substituted for the dead, and sending emissaries to Jutland with gifts to make a formal diplomatic statement to the Empire.
These chiefs are still smart, they know that it is useless to talk about these things with those mercenaries, with those armies, and no amount of what is given to them by the empire will not stop those people from continuing their atrocities on this ice field.
For the arrival of these envoys, of course, the empire could not directly refuse, outside the empire still needs to maintain a relatively positive image, the empire received those envoys well, accepted the envoys to bring gifts, and then talked to them very seriously about the things that happened in the Northland ice field, and carefully analyzed and ridiculed each clause.
However, during the negotiations, the Empire did not give the order to stop, and the mercenaries continued to attack them on the ice fields, and slaves from the ice fields continued to enter the empire, flooding the empire's slave markets, waiting for the selection of various factories.
This forced the envoys to constantly lower their own conditions, and in the end, except for retaining the last bottom line and maintaining political independence, everything else was lost.
According to the terms, in addition to the necessary compensation, these tribes were required to send troops and follow the forces of the Baltic Empire with supplies to launch an attack on the Attila Empire and the United Kingdom, which was the basis of all conditions, and to show the sincerity of these tribes with blood and death to gain the trust of the Empire.
These tribes know that their armies are sent out as cannon fodder for siege and victory for the Baltic Empire, but in the face of the strength of the empire, they have no choice for their own tribes, knowing that there is a dead end ahead, and they still have to die generously.
In two weeks, more than 100,000 soldiers gathered outside the royal city, the capital of the Attila Empire, and the same number of logistics personnel.
These personnel will be responsible for all kinds of tedious work, so that those soldiers can face the battle more attentively, with a better posture, and a more mental state.
Standing on the city wall and looking out, white tents were white tents on top of each other, and the noise reached my ears from afar, and people were everywhere coming in and out, in this army, from terrible giants to dwarf goblins.
However, the difference in race does not affect the combat effectiveness of this army, even the short goblins, who have a lot of combat experience and can turn into killing machines on the battlefield.
In addition to these soldiers, the group of gargoyles in the sky that has formed clouds and obscured the sun cannot be ignored, and that is a desperate number.
The heavy pressure is on everyone's hearts, this battle has not yet begun, and the people in the city have already felt that the taste of defeat is close at hand, and even the air in the city is filled with the smell of defeat.
In addition to the besieged capital, there are also cities outside the Atila Empire that are resisting, basically these resistances are meaningless, the cities that are surrounded, the cities that have been cut off from logistics, and it is only a matter of time before they fall.
The same is true for the city, where it is difficult for them to see the possibility of victory, and only hope that by holding out for a longer period of time, they can gain respite and increase the likelihood of the Baltic Empire making mistakes by extending the time.
By this time, no one was talking about the previous victory of Upplan, and when they saw the enemy who appeared before them, everyone would admit that the victory of Upplan was only an accidental miracle that happened in the unlikely event of a chance.
Now, they didn't think they could cause such a miracle again, and in the face of such a siege battle, they didn't even see the possibility of a surprise attack.
Of course, the knights knew about the low morale in the city, but they didn't have a good way to solve the problem, and the more reckless death once proposed to lead the cavalry to charge in the dead of night, trying to create chaos for the enemy, and it would be better if it could cause the camp to roar.
Such thoughts were stopped by war and famine, and in their opinion such an adventure was not necessary in the slightest, and the legends surrounding the city, in their senses, were already more than three digits, and if death was caught in the siege, they would not even be able to rescue.
In their opinion, these armies are gathered here, and their daily consumption is astronomical that cannot be ignored, even with a rich country as the Baltic Empire, it is not a long-term thing to supply so many troops.
What's more, with the existence of famine, his power enveloping the entire region, the soldiers of the Baltic Empire will feel hunger more easily, and they will have to eat more to make their bodies immune to this hunger.
It's a pity that the plague was injured in the last battle, otherwise with the combination of famine and plague, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for them, because their enemies will become weaker and weaker, and the combined power of famine and plague has a strong influence and lethality on numbers.
As for death, his abilities were no longer effective, and the spellcasters of the Baltic Empire filled every inch of the land with positive energy, even at night, the soil under his feet was glowing, and it was impossible for the undead to be impossible.
When the time came for the Attila Empire to survive, the news spread at a rapid pace from Scandinavia to the surrounding lands, and was known to everyone in the land.
The most anxious is the United Kingdom, their army under the leadership of Siegmund is rapidly approaching this side, because everyone knows that no matter what they achieve, it will be difficult to shake the whole situation of the war, and only by winning the battle of the capital of the Attila Empire can they have hope.
Only by surviving can we have the possibility of turning defeat into victory, no matter how small this possibility is, at least it exists.
What Zygmund didn't know was that what was waiting in front of him would be layers of encirclement, and with each breakthrough he would have fewer soldiers following him, and it would be reduced until he could not break through and was wiped out by the formation.
You see, it is not a very difficult problem to destroy the United Kingdom's army, and the initiative is also in the hands of the superior forces and materiel.
Many generals in the empire believe that the empire does not need to spend time and energy on raiding the United Kingdom, because there are really too many smart people in the United Kingdom.
These smart people often make what they think is the most reasonable and appropriate choice to join the ranks of the victors when they do not see the hope of victory.
And because the object is the Baltic Empire, there is a deep connection with them, and there are many things in common in terms of culture, language, customs, and beliefs.
These commonalities are enough for these smart people to convince their hearts, overcome their Scandinavian nature, and convince those around them to give up their insistence.
What's more, they have a trump card like Sigurud in their hands, and they haven't completely played this trump card until now, and completely used Sigrude's reputation and prestige.
The stubborn dwarves and arrogant elves within the United Kingdom have begun to make contact with the Empire, and their emissaries are now staying in the Empire's embassy, awaiting the outcome of the battle of Attila.
When the Scandinavians fall silent because of Siegrud, the king of Gom will lose his throne because of the dwarves and energy, and the Scandinavians will be left empty.
This is a dignified conspiracy, all of which is based on the crushing of strength, like a praying mantis in front of a rolling wheel, and all the struggles that seem useful are actually doomed to be useless.
