"The victory we have been winning all the time has forced all the Scandinavians to come together and come together to resist us, but now that we have lost twice, don't look at me with this expression, defeat is defeat, and if this defeat is beneficial to our final victory in the future, then such defeat is actually worth it. ”

"But, pestilence, you see, what can we gain from this defeat? When the idea that the Attira army could easily defeat it began to appear in the brains of the Scandinavians, do you think they would rally around Gohm because of such an external contradiction?"

"Do you think that without our attack, that Siegel, the king who founded the Scandinavian Empire, would spare someone who could shake his position and continue to build his prestige?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't, I would never give anyone, any chance to shake my rule, with our previous analysis of Siegel's character, this is a very good thing. ”

"So now we should slow down, slow down the pace of the war, as I said two days ago, sometimes the pace of the war is slowed down in order to achieve the goal faster. ”

Famine looked at the plague and suddenly came to his senses, and his mouth kept talking.

"Atila beats the man's side......"

"Don't worry, famine, it's obvious, Lord Atila always pursues the result, and we were born for this, destroying all the bad civilizations in the eyes of the adults. ”

"Also, it's actually a good thing, these people who are hostile to us fight with us at the last moment, and if we kill them, then the rest will join us. ”

"Have you ever heard of the plague, which I heard from the bard, that the woman of the South used to give a speech at a certain banquet? ”

"Since you can't be the winner, join the ranks of the winners."

The plague stopped abruptly, and his face under his armor was a little incredulous, and in his impression, this sentence should not have come from the woman, who always liked the upright and upright man, but could not say such a thing.

So it's just said, and of course it's possible that the sentence was really what she said. ”

"If this sentence spreads, wouldn't it be the most beneficial for our Attila Empire?"

"It is based on the fact that we have been victorious, and if we become losers, then all races in our territory will [join the ranks of the victors] because of this sentence. ”

"The plague has always been called a constant victory, not only our Attila army, do not forget that the Baltic Empire has not been defeated once for so long since its establishment. ”

"Even several of our so-called defeats have the presence of the Baltic Empire, so when this rhetoric begins to spread widely and penetrates into the hearts of the people, regardless of this battle for Scandinavia, we still have the other side victorious, and it will definitely not be either of us that will gain the most, but the Baltic Empire, which is in the third party and retains its strength. ”

"I think that's what Francis Drake thinks, a strong neighbor next to her, anyone would feel uneasy, this time she didn't act with the Baltic Empire, advance and retreat together, but shook hands with the Scandinavians alone, which has explained a lot of problems. ”

"Famine, have you ever thought of contacting Francis Drake? Her disordered pirate kingdom can actually become an important part of our empire, and can greatly compensate for the lack of sea power in the empire. ”

"Plague, my brother, my friend, there are some things that cannot be taken as one-sided, Francis Drake has what we need, but that woman is an extreme idealist, she and we can never be friends. ”

"However, this does not prevent us from coming together because of our common interests for a short time, and it is a matter of time before we meet each other in the future, and we need to deal with our common enemy, the powerful neighbor of Francis Drake, before we appear. ”

The words of famine made the plague feel very uncomfortable, so conspiracy and political means without any bottom line were never what he was good at, and if he could, he would prefer to lead a unit to the front line to fight.

If war is just a warrior without a mind, death is an assassin without thoughts, and famine is a brazen, cold-blooded politician, then plague is a general who wisely leads his troops to war.

Such generals are usually able to lead their soldiers to a series of victories and win the support of the soldiers, but they are often excluded by other powers within the empire because they do not like it and are unwilling to engage in politics, and finally end up in a bad end.

But fortunately, this is the Attila Empire, and characters like Famine are his brothers, they have a common goal, a common interest, and can rest assured that they will hand over their backs to each other to protect.

"Plague, you are needed to appear in the next battle, you know, in terms of commanding the battle, among the four of us, only you are the best, I hope you will deliberately fail in the next battle. ”

Famine calmly spoke of a terrifying subject.

"Failure on purpose?plague, I don't really understand what you mean. ”

Behind the armor, the plague frowned tightly, if he was allowed to win, it would be better to say, he had done this kind of thing I don't know how many times, but let him deliberately fail, this kind of thing was the first in so many years.

Through the exchange just now, the plague certainly understood what the famine was trying to say, and used a series of false defeats to help Gohm increase his prestige, so that the coalition army was more solid, and the one behind him could no longer sit still.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it is as fragile as tissue paper when it starts to destroy from within, as was the case with the seemingly powerful Scandinavian coalition army, and when Siegel appeared in the city as king, it is conceivable that a civil strife that would engulf the entire Scandinavian Empire could break out at any moment.

When an invincible enemy is nothing more than that, internal contradictions usually erupt, perhaps because of jealousy or because of conflicts of interest.

This kind of thing will happen not only in Scandinavia, but also in other places, and even in the void, in the seemingly incomparably beautiful and extremely ornately whitewashed gods, the gods are not in harmony with each other, and there are contradictions that are difficult to resolve.

Of course, the contradictions between the gods are secrets that mortals can't peep on, even at the level of legends, they can only use various means to avoid such things from being known by the gods, and some things are known by the gods is one thing, and being known by mortals is another thing.

Plague didn't really like the task that Famine had given him, because he had never done anything like this before, and it hurt Plague to imagine a general who could always win and feign defeat.

"Plague, my brother, of course I know you don't like these things, and if I could, I wouldn't make such an excessive request, well, well, it's a request. ”

Sensing the plague's disgruntled gaze, Famine took a step back and said without the slightest sincerity.

This was done for the sake of the Attila Empire, for the sake of their masters, Famine knew that no matter how much the plague resisted or how unhappy he was, he would work hard to accomplish such a task.

However, it was a great pity that the two knights, who were trying to make the enemy collapse from the inside out, did not notice the abnormal aura that permeated the entire barracks, and where they passed, all the warriors stopped talking and looked away, as if they were blind to the two knights.

……

Siegel, the king who completed the unification of Scandinavia and established a strong empire, was talked about by the king, the leader of the coalition armies, the Baltic Empire, and the Attila Empire, and was still in the royal palace, enjoying a rare family time.

While the war was going on, while the front line was still raging, Sigourney gave birth to a baby boy, although it was said that the pregnancy was not long, not even half of the ten months, but the baby boy was very healthy.

When he was born, he didn't cry or fight, and his strength was unusually strong, and his small palm could easily crush the railing of the crib, which forced Sigourney to take care of him herself.

Siegel was in a state of annoyance, he didn't know how to give the baby boy a name, this was his child, and it was prophesied that he would become a great hero, and Siegel believed that such a child must have a name that would resound throughout the world.

This is not a very simple thing, about the question of the name, Siegel is very nerve-wracking, first of all, the name of the gods, mortals cannot have, and those that are widely circulated, shouting on the street and a few people will answer, Siegel will never choose,

"Siegel, call it Siegrud, our child. ”

At this time, Sigourney interrupts Siegel's thoughts and proposes a name that she has been brewing for a long time, a name that is both a memorial and a symbol.

"Siegrud ......"

Siegel did not agree, the name did not conform to the habits of the Goths, on the contrary, the name was full of the characteristics of Barushinger, what he destroyed, what he hated, belonged to the Barushinger family.

From the name alone, Siegel can associate a lot, and he even wonders if Siegel intends to use this son to complete his revenge on him, so that the Gothic dynasty of the Scandinavian Empire he founded becomes the Barushinger dynasty.

Siegel knew that his wife, his queen, was still hating him, and there was no love in his heart, but resentment, and he knew that Sigourney had not forgotten what he had done, and had lied to make her a wife, killed her father and brother with a conspiracy, and destroyed her homeland with war.

But if it was just this level of revenge, Siegel could have endured it, and he loved Sigoarney, the crystallization of his love with Sigoay, even if it was named like Siegrud, full of Barusenge colors, even if his empire eventually changed from Gothic to Barusenga.

Because, no matter how much it changes, how much it changes, some things are fixed, for example, Siegrud's body not only flows the blood of Sigourne, a descendant of the Barusenger family, but also the blood of him, the king of the Scandinavian Empire, Siegel.

"Okay, then it's called Sigrud. ”

Siegel nodded slowly and agreed.

He saw the smile on the face of his wife next to him, there was no falsehood at all, he hadn't seen it for a long time, and even thought that it would only exist in memories forever, and he felt that everything was no longer important.

"Your herald has been waiting outside for a morning, won't he come in and hear if he has anything important to report?"

Time always passed quickly, and Sigourney looked at the sun rising high outside, then turned to tease the child who had been given the name of Siegrud, and said lightly.

Siegel hesitated, his eyes were reluctant, he opened his mouth to say something, and finally sighed helplessly, with the birth of Sigrud, Siegel has changed a lot, from an ambitious king, to a family man who puts his family first, and even the war on the front line during this time has paid little attention, and more time is spent on visiting Sigrude.

However, since Sigourney had said so, Siegel got up and left, and went back to the chamber where he usually conducted business, and he did not want to talk about such unpleasant business in front of his son and wife, and spoil the harmonious atmosphere that he had so hard to create.

"Your Majesty. ”

Along the way, the people around him kept saluting Siegel, a sight that would normally satisfy his vanity a little, but now it made Siegel feel bored, and it was completely taking up his time to enjoy his family.

"Well, my dear herald, this time I have some bad news. ”

Sitting on the cold throne, Siegel asked weakly, propping his head left and right.

"Your Majesty, Gorm led the rebels to repel the attack of the Attila army for the second time, and they used the trap to successfully kill the three mammoth giants, and successfully annihilated the troll and ogre forces of the Attila army, and the troll forces were also severely damaged. ”
