Chapter 727: The Island and the Sea
Sigoarney's refusal didn't change the dynamics of the battle, as fewer and fewer spellcasters were struggling to fend off the coalition forces on the battlefield, and at last there were only a dozen or so people left around Siegel.
These are loyal ministers who have given their lives to Siegel, no matter how they participate in the king, at the end of their lives, there will always be some people who will be by his side and go to the Yellow Springs with him.
On the opposite side of them were hundreds of spellcasters, and on the ground were several Legends led by an army of Legends, many of whom had been in the same side as them just now, but had now turned their weapons and stood on the opposite side, eager to take their heads.
By this time, Siegel's anger had calmed down, and he looked up at the approaching enemies, watching as the magic trapped them in mid-air, like butterflies bound in cobwebs.
At this moment, the crowd surrounding him suddenly split a road, and a man named Gohm walked slowly, not stopping until he was a hundred meters away from Siegel.
Not far behind Gohm were Siegmund and Sigoaney, both of whom were looking at Siegel with complicated eyes, and the anger and hatred in their eyes seemed to dissipate a little.
"It seems that you have a gorgeous funeral for me?"
Siegel couldn't help but sarcastically.
"No, I'll give you the most solemn death of a Scandinavian. ”
Goam replied.
The most solemn death of the Scandinavians was to fight with all their might on the battlefield against a strong enemy, and to use all their strength, and to usher in the final defeat without any regrets.
"Who, then, is the man who is ready to fight me? Is it you?
Siegel laughed out loud as if he had heard a funny joke.
"It's me, Siegel. ”
Zygmund walked up with his sword, and he stood in front of Siegel.
"This is a duel between the Barusenga and the Goths, to understand the centuries-old feud between our two people, and under the witness of the gods, I hereby swear that I will be victorious. ”
"Hahaha, it's really ridiculous, it's obviously arranged to be fate like a plaything of the gods, but at this time you are still saying such things, Siegmund , don't you understand at this time?"
Siegel said loudly, and all those who heard his voice turned very ugly, and no one wanted to know about the secrets of the gods, just like a bird approaching the sun, and finally could not escape the end of being burned by the sun.
"Shut up, Siegel. ”
Sigoarney's face was cold.
"Alright, the duel, then come, Siegmund come, come on, just like our ancestors, only warriors can win and survive the battle. ”
Siegel didn't pay attention to Sigoney's scolding, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Then, both sides began to retreat in unison, leaving the battlefield to Siegel and Zygmund, which had sworn that there would be no defilement under the witness of the gods.
"Come on, let me see what kind of power the person who can draw the sword of the king-electing has what kind of power he has. ”
Siegel said loudly, even in this final battle of honor, he still did not forget to use clever language to cause trouble for his enemies, and the sword of the chosen king, held by Zygmund, had attracted all the kings and tribal leaders of Scandinavia.
No king could ignore the sword, for they cared more about the meaning of the sword than the power of the weapon.
"Siegel, it seems that until now, you still haven't woken up to what a real warrior is. ”
"It has nothing to do with weapons, equipment, or the body, and what can be called a true warrior depends on the will!"
As he spoke, Siegmund had already arrived in front of Siegel.
However, at this time, he was no longer facing the humanoid Siegel, but the giant with raging flames burning on his body, maybe because of the consumption just now, maybe because there were no flames around for it to absorb, this giant was already a third smaller than just now.
Siegmund was at a disadvantage from the start-up, but as time went on, the tide of battle slowly turned against Siegel, as they were on the battlefield of the former Scandinavian Imperial Palace, which had been reduced to ice.
The high temperature giant made the ice melt quickly, and the transpiring water vapor caused the temperature to drop rapidly, and the clumsy body became even more bulky because of its size.
There was no way for Siegel's attack to be able to hit Sigmund at all, and after losing his overwhelming strength, how could a pampered king be an opponent of a warrior like Sigmund who had gone through many battles of life and death.
The giant's body was still very strong, but everyone around him could clearly feel that the giant's recovery ability was weakening, and it had weakened to the point that the recovery from injuries could not keep up with the damage caused by Zigmund.
Eventually, the giant turned back into Siegel, and he fell to the ground with a pale face, the cold eating away at his body so fast that it might not take even a few minutes for the king who had once moved the main plane and established the Scandinavian Empire to fall into an eternal sleep.
The gods of Asgard would not allow someone like Siegel to enter Valhalla, and Siegel was so poor on the battlefield that he was no match for a warrior in any way.
Siegmund calmly plunged the sword into Siegel's heart, watching as his pupils gradually dilate, his breathing getting weaker and weaker, until he finally lost all his breath of life.
Indescribable emotions brewed in his chest, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, the whole person sat on the ground, tears unconsciously flowing all over his face.
Sigourney walked up behind him gently, gently hugged Siegmund's head, and remained silent for a long time, until a light appeared on the horizon and dispelled the long darkness of the night.
After Siegel's death, Gohm's army began to occupy the city, and occasionally some unrelated battles broke out, the last revolt of those who were unwilling to lose everything.
All of Siegel's loyalists died in the palace, and after Siegel died, they had no reason to live, because Siegel's heirs had all been killed by Siegel, and even if they wanted revenge, they couldn't find a core.
A few days later, the other cities of the Scandinavian Empire received the news of what had happened in the Scandinavian Empire's capital, Siegel, and some of them directly chose to pledge their allegiance to Gohm and join the United Kingdom that Gom had formed.
The other part chose independence, they completely became independent from the Scandinavian Empire, and formed their own states and powers, hoping to achieve the second place Siegel.
On the other hand, the Attila Empire began to try to launch a tentative attack on the United Kingdom of Gohm, because the establishment of the United Kingdom would inevitably damage their interests in Scandinavia and hinder their unification of Scandinavia.
Moreover, now is also the time when the United Kingdom is at its weakest, and Gohm has indeed succeeded in killing Siegel and successfully bringing the Scandinavian Empire to ruin, but he needs time and energy to digest the victory in this battle, and this digestion will definitely lead to the dispersion of the United Kingdom's power.
In this regard, Gohm was prepared early, he let his army retreat step by step, using space to buy time, delaying the advance of the Attila Empire as much as possible, and using the mobility of the army in his hands to destroy the supply lines of the Attila Empire.
On the other hand, he hastened his communication with the remaining countries of the Scandinavian Empire, made clear his differences from Siegel, promised a great deal of rights and interests, and hoped to gain the support of these countries, which would put aside their prejudices and ambitions and join the United Kingdom.
Within a week, all but a few nations and tribes had joined the United Kingdom, and the Attila offensive had to be halted by the arrival of autumn.
Autumn in the Northland is very short-lived, and if you are not careful, it will enter winter, and in fact it has proven that it is very unwise to start a winter war in Scandinavia.
The last defeat of the Attila Empire was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong strategy, they would not continue to make such mistakes, and they would not be overly superstitious about the power of Attila and arrogant in emphasizing their own strength.
In addition to this, they had another consideration, which was that they could not ignore the threat from the Baltic Empire, and they could not be sure whether the Baltic Empire would be involved in the war while they were fighting the United Kingdom of Scandinavia.
In the past few years, several knights have clearly realized the gap between them and the Baltic Empire, and it is difficult for them to have a chance of victory in a head-to-head confrontation, and in other areas, they are also unable to occupy an advantage.
The best way is to continue to maintain the current situation, to have a certain tacit understanding with the United Kingdom, and to be able to cooperate on a certain scale in the face of the invasion of the Baltic Empire.
It is true that the Attila Empire and the United Kingdom of Scandinavia are bound to have only one surviving enemy, but until then, they will put their interests first and put aside for a while, or forget about their hatred for a while.
Unfortunately, both the United Kingdom of Scandinavia and the Attila Empire have overlooked one thing, and that is that their so-called ability to unite to defend against the invasion of the Baltic Empire was based on the fact that the Baltic Empire could not really use all its strength.
This will no longer be the case when Brünnhilde receives permission from Odin to confirm that the Baltic Empire is part of the Asgardian Divine System on the main plane.
The fall of the Scandinavian Empire changed not only the new United Kingdom of Scandinavia and the Attila Empire, but also a new country that was also in this vortex.
It is not entirely accurate to say that it is new, because this country has existed in this land for a thousand years, and this country is the kingdom of Barusenga, with Siegmund as king and Sigourney as prime minister.
The country was built on the old royal capital, and now it is only a very small city, and the population of the whole country is only tens of thousands of people, most of whom are middle-aged people who are already old, they are all remnants of Barusenga, and now they are returning to Barusenga.
Of course, there were spies from the Attila Empire and the United Kingdom of Scandinavia, but only a very small minority, and more ordinary people who were loyal to Barusenge and missed their former homeland.
The nascent kingdom of Barushinger was established in the heart of the United Kingdom of Scandinavia, and although nominally not part of Gohm's United Kingdom, Sigourney was able to negotiate a high degree of autonomy.
But in essence, this small city kingdom of only tens of thousands of people, both militarily and economically, is heavily dependent on the United Kingdom's supply and help, and Zigmund alone cannot protect a kingdom, or a kingdom that occupies rich land.
No one knows what kind of agreement Sigourney and Gohm finally signed, what price they paid, and how many promises were made, and people will not pay attention to these secrets that are placed under the table, they will only pay attention to the successful restoration of the kingdom of Barusinga.
As for the North Sea, neither Francis Drake's North Sea Kingdom nor the thriving rebel forces have the time and energy to pay attention to the great changes taking place in Scandinavia.
Ice floes began to appear on the surface of the North Sea, and it is estimated that in a short time, the entire sea will freeze and it will be impossible to sail by ship, so they are preparing for the final war, striving for a decisive battle before winter comes, and the sea surface is completely frozen.
For the last, desperate decisive battle, their war has dragged on for too long, and both the North Sea Kingdom and the rebel forces are tired of it, and it is difficult to continue to support it.
In terms of supplies, they can also obtain them from the outside through diplomatic means, but there is no way to make up for the large number of casualties, and there is no loyalty to the king without soldiers who have not been trained and precipitated by time.
