Chapter 584: Sincerity
For three days, Zygmund rested in the hut for three days, and with the help of the now-unknown witch, his body was completely healed, even from the dark wounds left from the previous battle in Upplan
For three days, Zygmund and the woman stayed together, learning through her what was now the situation in the whole peninsula, in the Northlands, and in the entire main plane.
Thinking about the changes brought to the entire Northland by the series of actions of the Attila Empire, the Baltic Empire, the Northland Bloc and the Pirate Empire, it is not surprising that the Northland Empire was strategically defeated by the Baltic Empire.
What's really strange about him is that the Baltic Empire actually behaved so conservatively at this time, and did not take advantage of the war in the north to develop its own power as soon as possible, but instead developed with peace of mind and cultivated its own one-third of an acre.
According to his understanding of that woman, with her habits, she would never let go of such a good opportunity, and there was only one possibility in his speculation, that is, the woman in the Baltic Empire was not in the empire now, not in the Northlands.
At night, a lonely man and a mysterious woman perform the most sacred rituals in this hut that can barely shelter from the wind and rain, and of course in this part of the Northlands, such things are more interesting.
Three days later, Zygmund opened the door and walked out with his sword, and there was still a strange smell in the house, but the mysterious woman was nowhere to be seen.
For this strange and mysterious woman, Siegmund thought she was a good woman, very good in every way, but when he was performing the ritual, he felt that something was wrong, a strange familiarity and closeness.
It's like this woman, who knows him, always has an extraordinary familiarity with him, and cares too much about him, even if there is such an intimate relationship between the two, but this kind of care is still abrupt.
Siegmund looked up at the sun in the sky, confirmed the direction and time, and left the cottage with the package on his back, bringing him three days of good memories and three days of peace.
------------
"What are you doing here, it's windy and cold outside, why don't you rest in the house?"
With tiredness on his face that could not be concealed, Siegel strode up to a beautiful maiden, who looked at the girl who was a head shorter than him, with tenderness in his eyes.
During this time, the Attila army's second westward expedition gave him a lot of pressure, and all aspects of the empire needed his coordination, and all kinds of problems needed to be solved by him personally.
It is not that there are no people under him who are loyal to him, but those people are simply unsightly in terms of ability, and they are useless except loyalty, and leaving things to them will only make things worse, and finally make him spend more energy to clean up.
And those who are able, but lack enough loyalty to him, typical of his relatives, his enemies Zigmund, he cannot be sure whether those people who have given power to them will secretly do something detrimental to his rule.
The establishment of the Scandinavian Empire was full of all kinds of shady political means, which determined that there were a large number of problems left over from the past within the empire, and there were a large number of people who opposed him and resented him.
Siegel knew the existence of those people and knew what kind of conspiracy and planning they were going on, but a large part of them were people he couldn't kill, didn't dare to kill, and couldn't kill now.
But it is precisely because of this that he cherishes the time spent in the palace, with his wife and children, just like the fish that are dying in the dry riverbed and return to the water.
"Look at the scenery, now this city has become the capital of the Empire, as the mistress of the Empire, I haven't really understood the city. ”
Standing on the balcony at the highest point of the castle, holding the handrail with both hands and looking down at the busy and orderly soldiers who seemed to be like ants, Sigoarney had a rare smile on her face.
Seeing the smile of his wife, the person he loved the most, the tiredness on Siegel's face was swept away, and he took two steps forward, came to Sigoaney's side, and took her hand.
"This city, built for war, is now full of dust, there is nothing to see, and when the snow melts next spring, I am taking you out for a walk, to see, to see the different scenery of the Norwegian forest. ”
Sigourne's self-proclaimed mistress of the Scandinavian Empire made Siegel very happy, this was a wish he had always wanted to fulfill, and now it had come true, and it also made Siegel think that his wife had let go of her hatred for her.
Such a change in his wife made him happy, but also a little doubtful, because no matter how hard he tried before, how to please her, and even gave birth to three children, he couldn't change her attitude, and now the sudden change made him feel suspicious all of a sudden.
"Are you in a good mood today?"
"Of course, I feel like I'm pregnant again. ”
Sigourie spoke briskly, her tone tinged with excitement that made her feel like a child who had accomplished something great and was showing off in front of an adult.
"Really?"
Siegel's movements paused for a second, and he could no longer maintain the majesty of the king, and then an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he grabbed Sigourney's small hand with both hands and placed it on his chest.
"Yes, I feel pregnant, and this child will be a brave warrior, a king to be admired, a great man to lead the Scandinavian Empire to victory. ”
Sigourney had a gentle and proud expression on her face, as if she had seen the fate of the child, and the child in her womb would eventually leave an indelible mark in the world and history.
Unlike the children she had given birth to before, in the absence of a real birth, she felt that the blood contained in the child in her womb was the same as her father and brother, inherited from the blood of Odin, the god king of the Aesir gods.
"Hahahaha"
Hearing his wife's words, the corners of Siegel's mouth cracked, and a series of laughter erupted, and the Scandinavians, who were busy preparing for the war, couldn't help but raise their heads and look over.
"Very good, very good, will eventually become a great man, worthy of my child, then, as your father, the father of great men, I promise here......"
"This war, our Scandinavian Empire, we Scandinavians will be victorious, under the witness of the Aesir gods, child, I will taste this wine of victory with you, and the great empire I have created will be inherited by you. ”
Siegel made loud promises, blessings, and swears, and at this time he completely forgot about his three grown children, and put all his expectations on the unborn child.
It may seem incredible to many, but in a world full of magic, gods, and all sorts of weird things, an unusual prophecy can change a lot.
The most typical example is the previous god-king of Olympus, Kronos, who, in order to circumvent and break the prophecy that he must overturn more than his own heirs, devoured all his children in his womb, and he swallowed one when his wife gave birth to one.
The result was the resentment of his wife and the fear of the gods, and the end result, in the midst of deception and ignorance, his youngest son, Zeus, now the god-king, led his previously swallowed son to overthrow his rule.
Even he himself was hit hard, and he was imprisoned in the cage of the gods, a forbidden place that the gods didn't even want to mention, terrifying and mysterious.
Cheers rang out from all over the city, and everyone in the city, whether Scandinavian or elven dwarf, cheered when they saw two people clasped clasped in the air.
Attila is terrible, the invasion of Scandinavia has brought them terrible disasters and pain, the beast tide in the Norwegian forest is terrible, the beast that seems to know the tiredness and does not know the pain, the overwhelming, the scene of not afraid of death still comes to mind.
But none of this mattered, none of this mattered, no matter how terrible Artila was, she had already failed twice in this land, and the overwhelming tide of beasts in the spring had been defeated by them, their flesh and blood were used as food, and their fur was made into clothes and tents.
Under the leadership of Siegel, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated, no difficulty cannot be overcome, and standing in front of this man, no matter who it is, is unfortunate, because their result is doomed to failure, just like the group of fools who stood in the way before, preventing the empire from unifying the whole of Scandinavia, crushed by the chariot of the empire.
The self-confident Scandinavians, more precisely, the Scandinavians who live in this fortress, because now this fortress
It has become the de facto capital of the empire, so the people who live here are loyal to the empire and to Siegel.
"Now, the situation is not as good as it could have been, my dear Sigournie. ”
Pulling his wife back into the house, stepping on the velvet carpet, Siegel said as he walked.
Sigoney's prophecy just now made him further relax his vigilance against her, and in the final analysis, Sigourney was the woman he loved deeply and gave birth to several sons for him.
"On a frontal battlefield, it will be difficult for us to compete with the army of Attila, but if we have a protracted war, with two knights of famine and pestilence, it will be equally disadvantageous to us. ”
In front of Sigourney, Siegel gave full details about the war, and he hoped that with the help of Sigourney's wisdom, he could turn the tide of the war.
"Before, the elves were defeated by the gnolls of the Attila army in the forest, and the subsequent sneak attack was wiped out without any results. ”
The annihilation of the elven squad was not a problem for Siegel, and it was a drop in the bucket for the entire Scandinavian Empire.
However, it is telling that he has the home advantage and is crushed head-on by the enemy in a familiar environment, and Siegel is the one who has fought elves in the forest, and he knows how difficult elves can be in the forest.
“…… Can't the elves be tasked with sniping at the logistics line of the Atila army?"
Sigourney sat down on the sofa, changed into a more comfortable position, and said lightly.
She didn't change her attitude because of the change in Siegel's attitude, because of his trust, for her, there are things that change over time, and some things that don't change no matter how much time passes, such as hatred that goes deep into the marrow and soul.
"Defeated by the gnolls in the forest, the elves can no longer take on the task of cutting off the logistical supply lines of the Atila army, and they still have an irreplaceable role in the frontal battlefield, and they can't just be consumed there. ”
Siegel continued, believing that things had changed, that everything was going for the better except for the Attila army, and that he did not realize that the person he loved, his wife, was still clinging to hatred.
"Unable to cut off Attila's logistics, there is a high risk that this war will eventually turn into a long-term stalemate...... The other side has plague and famine, and in the previous two western expeditions, we suffered a lot from those two knights, even Beowulf ......"
Sigourney said this, paused deliberately, glanced at Siegel, and then continued, this is what she did on purpose, for the next plan, she needs to play the role of an imperial mistress who lets go of hatred because of the child.
"Yes, I know that warriors like Beowulf have suffered at the hands of famine and pestilence, and that two guys can easily change a war by joining forces. ”
Famine and pestilence, if spread among an army, could easily crush a battle-hardened and powerful army, and the ill-informed Scandinavians were nearly wiped out in the first battle against the Attila army.
"Sigonay, can you contact the people of the Baltic Empire, the key to this battle is whether they can cut off the logistics supply line of the Attila army, if they are willing to stand on the side of the Empire in this war, as the king of the Scandinavian Empire, I can promise that after the victory, after defeating the Attila Empire, I can give half of the territory of the Attila Empire to the Baltic Empire. ”
Siegel said seriously, he knew that his wife knew the master of the Baltic Empire, the [Calamity Maiden], so this time he could use this relationship to seek help from the Baltic Empire.
This means that the Scandinavian Empire bows to the Baltic Empire and is willing to pay the price to tie the Baltic Empire to the chariot of the common struggle against the Attila Empire.
