In the shaman's opinion, using a [Scorching Ray] to kill a scouting Jeat was a normal and simple thing to do, and it was not something to brag about and proud of.

After all, he was a shaman, a spellcaster capable of using magical magic, just ordinary humans, and it didn't make him feel any pressure, unless those humans were berserkers.

A spellcaster is a very valuable combat power, and if a person wants to become a spellcaster, talent is essential, in addition to this, a lot of resources and time need to be invested, and many of these resources are impossible for ordinary families to provide.

Most of the time, the people who become spellcasters have families that are not too bad, even those druids who are out of touch with society and like to live in the deep mountains and dense forests, they also have their own access to resources.

Therefore, each spellcaster is a precious strategic resource for a nation and power, and the magic by-products they create can bring great wealth to their power in peacetime, and they can also provide the power to change the trend of the entire battlefield on the battlefield.

In order to protect these precious spellcasters, Siegel provided each caster with five berserkers with shields as guards, followed by a team of thirty Goth warriors to attack.

In addition to the protection provided by Siegel, these spellcasters also have their own personal follower protection, which are all existences that share the honor and disgrace of the caster, and may not be as good as the berserker who can go berserk in head-on combat, but each of them has a specialty and can help the caster in some way.

The shaman raised his hand slightly, pointing to the stone building not far away, and a dark shadow flickered from the back of view, and soon after, the sound of battle and the angry cries of the Yaats could be heard from the building.

Slowly, the sound of the battle stopped, and the black shadow burst out of the window, and in the blink of an eye, even the powerful berserker did not react, and disappeared again from everyone's field of vision.

The warriors around them looked at the shaman with frightened eyes, they didn't know what the dark shadow was, maybe it was a creature summoned from the shadow realm, maybe it was a powerful assassin, but they knew that it wouldn't take much effort to deal with a group of Yaats in such a short time.

Not all shamans are smooth sailing, though, not every shaman has the strength and reliable followers of this shaman, but more of them are those who can barely become spellcasters using only one or two simple spells.

These people's talents are just like that, and no matter how hard they try, they can't continue to improve

For their part, Siegel had given the order to roast them on flames and make them dance on the tip of their swords, for their magic was not capable of breaking through the defenses of stone buildings, and they did not have such powerful followers.

Under normal circumstances, they would only be able to use magic such as the Acid Orb to break the closed door of the building, and then let their army enter the house through the gate to destroy the Yaats.

Even if they open the gates, the warriors will still need to attack head-on, against the barrage of stones, javelins, throwing axes, boiling water and fire throwables.

After a few fights, the shaman will find that he has fewer and fewer armies to defend himself, and more and more enemies to face, and sometimes a terrifying weapon like a bed crossbow.

The arm-thick bed crossbow can easily penetrate the defenses constructed by magic such as [Mage Armor] and [Protective Arrows] at a distance of 200 meters, and if the shaman does not have some defense means to press the bottom of the box, it often only takes a single blow to kill them.

Such scenes took place in many parts of Upland, and the weapons and equipment left over from the Beowulf period cost the Goths every step they took.

Fortunately, they only had to deal with ordinary Yaats, most of whom were ordinary people with no formal military training, so on the whole they were still advancing towards the city center in a relatively stable manner.

In the far middle of Upland was a palace, also walled, where the best of the Yayat troops were gathered, and the shamans and the surviving berserkers, led by Wiglaf, were stationed there.

And that's why Siegel had his army sweep through the entire city of Uppran, and he didn't want to attack the palace while still facing harassment from the other Yaats.

From time to time, explosions could be heard from the corners of the city, presumably some impatient shaman using magic to blast the building, and the hot flames swept through the building, and the burning humans jumped out of the windows, rolling on the ground and slapping the flames on their bodies, and then quickly turned into unrecognizable char.

The powerful parts of the shaman began to clear the buildings that harbored the Yaats with this extremely efficient method, and their flames turned the fortified buildings into coffins that imprisoned their owners.

In about a morning, the Goths advanced a full kilometer distance under the super strength of the shamans, and the Jeats who died at their hands were even more innumerable.

Goths who enter the state of battle do not have the habit of showing mercy to their subordinates, whether it is a warrior or an ordinary person, whether it is a woman or a child, as long as they take up arms to fight them, they will be mercilessly beheaded.

The Goths advanced to the vicinity of the palace of Yaat, and Siegel issued a new order to his army, emphasizing that the shamans should not use the magic that caused explosions and burns in their subsequent attacks.

For it seemed to him that the city of the Jeats was about to become his possession, and now the more it was destroyed, the less he would gain and the more he would lose, especially now that in such a situation, it would be even less likely for him to give up the wealth that the Jeats had collected over the years.

In the past few months, after the embargo of Alice and Drake, there have been signs of economic crisis in the Gothic country, and the prices of weapons and equipment, daily necessities, and magical materials have risen again and again, but this is still within the acceptable range, but the most important food for living beings has fallen below the warning line.

Wealthy families are fine, but ordinary and poor families have already had a food crisis before autumn comes, and even if they spend more time and energy hunting in the forest, the food they get can only sustain the current food and clothing, but it is not guaranteed to cope with the barrenness of winter.

Originally, due to geographical reasons, Scandinavia has the longest and coldest winter in the main plane, and the food on the peninsula has always been in a state of scarcity, if it encounters a situation similar to the ice and snow disaster, the entire Scandinavia Peninsula will fall into the disaster of famine, after all, it is impossible to feed so many humans just by hunting.

In addition, this year is the busiest year for the Goths, in order to complete the unification of the entire Scandinavia Peninsula and the establishment of the Scandinavian Empire, they have been fighting for almost a year, where do they have time to farm, hunt and fish to store food.

If the Goths are unable to get enough food from the Yeats this winter, then Siegel will have to cross the sea to get food elsewhere before this winter.

For example, attacking Jutland in the south, or going to Finland to plunder, getting enough food from Alice and Attila to consume the old and sick in the army, this is also the favorite way of dealing with the harsh winter in this northern region.

It's brutal, but it's also very effective.

The light gradually thinned, and before I knew it, the moon had appeared in the night sky, and the stars around me were constantly twinkling, looking curiously at the burning city below

Siegel's plot still did not succeed, and when Wiglaf saw that the Gothic army had used the power of the shaman to carve a way to the palace, and when he saw the ostentatious Goths gathering in the square in front of the palace with the spoils of war in their arms, he already knew that he would no longer be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Although the walls of the palace were made of precious marble and obsidian, filled with instruments such as bed crossbows, and garrisoned by the best warriors and shamans of the Yaats, the battle had reached such a point that Wiglaf did not think that there was any hope or opportunity for a comeback.

Even if he persists, there will be no reinforcements to come to the rescue, and even the gods have abandoned the Yeats, who else would risk coming here? Attila is the enemy of the Yeats all along, and Alice of Jutland has already reached the limit of accepting the fire of the Yeats, he knows that Alice will never interfere further in the dispute in Scandinavia, which is not in the interests of Jutland.

So the people who stay here now are the ones who know that they will die but still choose to fight, they have no other regrets, they can let go of all their worries with peace of mind, and fight the most cruel and final war, which is what Beowulf has been pursuing, blooming like cherry blossoms, and then disappearing with the wind.

Before the Goth army began to attack the palace, Wiglaf began to set up the fire traps in various parts of the palace using precious dragon blood ink, and the triggers of these fire traps would be linked to Wiglaf's heart.

When Wiglaf's heart stops beating, these magic traps will be triggered, and the entire palace of Jeat will be in flames, becoming a huge torch that will be burned by the mountains of treasures stored in the palace and the greedy invaders.

The belief of the Yeats in fighting is very firm, they resist very tenaciously, relying on the fortifications they built, they bring great trouble to the attacking Goths, but the gap between the high-end combat power is not something that can be made up by hard work and struggle.

Originally, because of the battle in Karelia, many high-end combat power were killed, coupled with the loss of the city wall yesterday, and now the strong people who can be called high-end cannot even reach double digits, on the other hand, on the Goths' side, almost every attacking team can find one.

Moreover, compared to the outer walls of the city, although the walls of this royal palace were made of more noble and solid marble obsidian, in terms of height, this wall was only two-thirds the height of the outer side, and the powerful berserkers could easily rush up without even borrowing the help of siege engines as before.

The berserkers who rushed to the city wall immediately turned into a frenzy, brandishing the heavy weapons in their hands, and in just a few strokes, they cleared a clearing on the city wall, opening the way for the landing force behind.

The druids endured the mental exhaustion and blessed the warriors with buff magic one by one, the bloody wounds healed at a speed visible to the eyes, colorful lights flashed on their bodies, and the original combat power was greatly improved with the blessing of magic.

The shamans did not show weakness, relying on the cooperation of other troops and the superiority in numbers, they pressed the spellcaster troops of the Yeats from the beginning, even if they could only use other magic other than fire because of Siegel's orders, it could not stop them from killing.

Defenses such as the bed crossbow were no longer effective after being climbed to the wall, and were now being used by the Jeats as a barricade to hinder the Goths' advance, and some structures were also present on the battlefield.

Moving armor and razor-sharp weapons rushed up the walls, originally purchased by Beowulf from goblins out of interest and placed as decorations in the palace, but now activated by Wiglaf and put into battle.

In Beowulf's comments, they can only be used as ornamental structures, and of course they are not very formidable strength, and after about thirty minutes of perseverance, they were dismantled into scrap metal by the Goths with heavy blunt objects.
