"Well, Alice, what you said is very good, I think so too, this condition that Siegel said, in my opinion, is bullshit, we know each other for a day or two, what the two sides want to get, what can be paid is not a secret, in your Baltic Empire there are our Scandinavian spies, and in our palace, there are also your people. ”

"So, Alice, what do you want. ”

Sigoaney's playful smile on her face made Alice feel that it was not a woman who had become a Scandinavian queen with several children, but a young girl who was still in the middle of a princess.

"Territory, population, resources, knowledge, treasures. ”

Sigourney counted them one by one.

"What do you Baltic Empire want to get. ”

"What can your Scandinavian Empire offer? ”

The topic returned to the original point, Alice was not satisfied with the conditions that Sigourney could give, but Alice, who seemed to have the absolute initiative, did not intend to give her own conditions first.

To give one's own conditions one step ahead is actually to limit one's own gains, and that silence is Kim's parable, which Alice had read when she was very young.

There was envy of silence in the field, the maids around were as quiet as stone statues, and there was only the sound of drinking tea in the air from time to time, which made this warm reunion extremely stiff.

"Hey"

Silently putting down the teacup in her hand, Sigourney sighed helplessly, wanting to say something, relieve the atmosphere at this time, and achieve the purpose she needed to achieve, but before that, the girl opposite was the first to speak.

"Sigoaney, there's a question I want you to answer me seriously, and if it's satisfying me, I'll consider your request. ”

"Whether it's to provide material excursions for your Scandinavian Empire, or to officially intervene in this war, as the Baltic Empire, to attack the logistics supply lines of the Attila Army, and to launch an offensive against the Attila Empire from the flank. ”

If Alice can be considered, then Sigourne's purpose for coming here is already half accomplished, and it is the most difficult half, and the latter part, the Attila Empire will help her to complete.

It wasn't an empire that would take care of the big picture, and if you provoked it, you would be subjected to her reckless, crazy revenge until the target was destroyed.

"Do I have any other options?"

Sigourney smiled wryly, even if the other party wanted to ask about the secrets of the gods, she had no choice, and she couldn't say a word.

Sigourney doesn't care about Siegel's life and death, if Attila's army can kill Siegel, she is happy not to give it, but Siegel can die, the Scandinavian Empire cannot be destroyed, Scandinavia cannot be conquered, the Scandinavian people cannot be enslaved, and more importantly, the interests of the Aesir in the main plane cannot be damaged because of her own selfish interests.

Sigoney's thoughts are the same as those of her brother Sigmund in the world, in the current situation of a great enemy like the Attila army, everything else is not important, and only by successfully surviving and surviving can there be everything else.

In this respect, Sigoaney's idea can be said to be the opposite of 99% of Scandinavians, who are not afraid of death, and believe that a brave death on the battlefield will be favored by Valkyrie and be ushered into that Valhalla palace to enjoy an endless wonderful life.

Therefore, the Scandinavian warriors, whether they are berserkers with terrible combat effectiveness or slightly trained civilians underneath, even if they have an insurmountable combat gap with the enemy, they will still be fearless and fearless to rush forward to fight for it, such a custom seems very romantic, but in essence it affects the survival of the nation.

Because of this habit, the population agglomeration among the Scandinavians will decrease, and with the continuous wars of the past few years, the Scandinavian wilderness is full of abandoned villages and fields.

Sigourne did not lose sight of the Scandinavians' hope of defeating the Attira, and even if she did not need the help of the Baltic Empire, with the means at her disposal, to maintain the defense, and to maintain such a stalemate with the Attilla army, it was still possible.

However, how many people will die in this way, how long the empire will be able to last, and whether the empire's sparse population will be able to maintain the empire's rule after repelling the Attila army, these questions are not optimistic in Sigoney's opinion.

"First of all, I need your research on the rune of Rune, as a descendant of the god Odin, and you, as the princess of Barushinger, must have inherited the research success of your predecessors. ”

With a perceptive look in the heart, Sigoarney couldn't escape the words, Barushinger's destruction was very sudden, but as the princess of Barushinger, who controlled Barushinger's magical forces and had a close connection with the druids, she did have a lot of research on Rune runes in her hands.

Alice had obtained the inscription and use of the rune from Skaha's hands, but that was only the depth of her magical knowledge, and in terms of breadth, she didn't think that she could easily surpass the thousands of years of research of others, and even if she couldn't use it, it could be used to broaden her knowledge and bring inspiration in other areas.

"The second point is that I don't need the land of your Attila Empire, the land of our Baltic Empire is vast enough, and we don't need extra land to show the majesty of the empire now. ”

Of course, this is a superficial reason, even the trolls can't deceive, the real reason is that the current Baltic Sea has developed to a bottleneck, and it is not suitable to expand too quickly before digesting the food eaten before, and this kind of thing is sometimes very important.

Sigoney's eyes revealed extreme surprise at this, she could understand Alice's original intention and reason for bringing this up, but it was hard to believe that she would be so decisive.

After defeating Attila, the Baltic Empire will have a good chance of gaining access to the most fertile lands and the most extensive grasslands in the North, which has the richest resources in the Northlands and is the main importer of goblins.

Even if the Baltic Empire does not have the strength to digest those lands for the time being, it can first occupy them, plunder the legacy of the Attila Empire above, and then use a long time to consolidate its rule over those regions.

This was definitely not a choice that a proper ruler should make, nor was it something that the Alice she knew would decide, no, according to her research of several rulers of the Baltic Empire, no one would have made such a decision.

Unless......

I don't know what came to mind, a trace of surprise appeared on Sigoney's face, and this surprise quickly disappeared, and even Alice, who was close at hand, didn't notice it, and the situation quietly changed because of a little inadvertent.

"Thirdly, we in the Baltic Empire need a population, don't be in a hurry to refuse, what I said about the population is very different from what you think. ”

Alice raised her hand and shook it in front of Sigourney, once again stopping Sigourney from interjecting to interrupt her.

"Elves, dwarves, giants, werewolves, snow monsters, treants, dryads, etc., as long as you have an intelligent population, we in the Baltic Empire want it, and the human part I need the remnants of Yeat, who were captured there after you defeated Upland before. ”

"Of course, I don't need those trolls and ogres to fill up. ”

……

Alice's request happened to be stuck on Sigoaney's bottom line, the core part of the establishment of the Scandinavian Empire is undoubtedly those Scandinavians who believe in the Aesirian gods, as for the other races that were conquered by Segal and joined the Scandinavian Empire, they are all part of the Acandinavian Empire that can be abandoned.

Moreover, the Scandinavians will never object to this treaty, because it will not harm their own interests, and those races that seem to be abandoned will not object, although they are forced to leave their homeland and leave their homeland, but from another point of view, they can also successfully get rid of the second-class ethnic identity in the Scandinavian Empire, and can break free from the war-torn environment.

"Fourth, I need that your Scandinavian Empire cannot collect commercial taxes from our Baltic Empire's merchant ships, and you cannot kill our Empire's people on your territory at will, and if they commit crimes, they need to be sent back to our Empire for processing. ”

Fortunately, before this, the Scandinavian Empire had never collected anything like a merchant tax, and they had no way to collect it, because there were merchants who could bring goods here to sell, which could already be said to be the dream of the entire empire.

And the latter point, this offends the majesty of Siegel, if, according to Alice, even Siegel cannot exercise the right to kill and kill, then Siegel's dominance and prestige in the Scandinavian Empire will plummet.

"Don't be in a hurry to get angry, Sigoaney, it's you who has a request for me now, it's your Scandinavian Empire, calm down and think about it, and then let Siegel agree to my request. ”

Let Siegel agree, but it was Sigoury who was communicating with Alice in front of her, and Sigourney, who wanted to stand up, suddenly stopped moving, her brows furrowed tightly, and then took two deep breaths, suppressing the waves in her heart.

These conditions, no matter how you look at them, no matter what the end can achieve, the person who agrees will eventually not tolerate the entire Scandinavian Empire, because it will cast a shadow on the honor of the Scandinavians.

Therefore, if Siegel can be made to agree to these conditions, so that he has to agree to these conditions, then it will definitely be a blow to his prestige that cannot be ignored, and such a stain, even if he succeeds in defeating the Attila army and driving them out of Scandinavia, it cannot be erased.

"The child in your womb has the blood of Barusenger, if it is a boy, then it must be the new king of the Scandinavian Empire, I want to have a mother like you, that's for sure. ”

Alice's words made Sigourney unable to calm down, she took three steps and two steps, came to Alice, reached out and was about to grab her collar, but Alice was easily dodged.

"I've said it many times, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly. ”

As Sigourney rushed towards Alice, the maid behind her and Sigoaney's guards also fought, but the battle ended quickly, with the maid unscathed and the guards wiped out, but the entire hall was in shambles.

These guards were specially selected by Siegel, and each of them had warriors who could fight the white bear head-on and survive for a week in the Norwegian forest, but such a powerful warrior in the hands of the maid was like a mouse with its tail pinched, unable to even do a simple struggle.

The guards fell unconscious to the ground, and were dragged out of the room by the maids one by one, after which they would lose their memories of this time and be infused with memories that had been forged and were extremely difficult to detect.

Soon only Alice and Sigourney were left in this hall, and on the transparent ceiling, the starlight in the sky had been obscured by dark clouds for some time, and only the curved moon still showed a circle of silhouettes on the dark clouds.

"What do you mean, Alice, what the hell do you mean. ”

Sigourne suppressed her voice, like an offended lactating female leopard, her muscles tensed and glowing white, and her hands moved non-stop, preparing to release her magic.

"Don't worry, my friend, take it easy, it's just the two of us now, only Alice and Sigoaney, so don't be nervous. ”

Alice deliberately emphasized, with a very serious expression on her face.

"Sigourne, Princess of Barusinga, I have met your brother Sigmund before, and I think there are some things, we have a lot in common, common interests, on the side of the Attila army, on the side of your Scandinavian Empire. ”

“…… I see, you still haven't changed, you're still the same Alice I know, and your appetite is not only for the Attila Empire, but also for the Scandinavian Empire. ”

"So, do you have such an appetite that you are ready to swallow the whole Northland? Can you digest this, do you have that kind of background to digest? Alice. ”

"How many years do you think your empire has only been established, how can you have so much confidence in your empire, and feel that you already have the confidence to be able to unify the entire north?"
