Chapter 754: Overwhelming
Unlike the United Kingdom, which chose to be patient, the Attila Empire had easily dealt with the spring tide of beasts, and then targeted the sea tribes that were already stationed in the lakes and rivers.
The methods of the Atila Empire are very simple, or very crude, they know that they cannot attack the enemy in the water, and they also know that they are not the opponent of the Sea Clan in the water, they have a clear understanding of this, and they will not deny their weakness.
However, on the other hand, if it was on land, the Sea Tribes were no match for them, so they decided to turn the rivers and lakes into land and let the Sea Tribes fight them on land.
If it were in the sea, it would be very difficult to do this, but now that this is on land, they only need to deal with lakes and rivers, and the amount of water is limited enough to allow them to achieve their plans.
The Attila Empire began to build dams, and his army consisted of ogres and trolls, as well as giants and half-giants, who could easily pile up stones in rivers and cut off water sources.
The Attila Empire chose to build dikes in some of the more turbulent and narrow rivers, and when the Sea Tribes realized that something was wrong, they couldn't even struggle.
As the river water decreased, a large number of sea beasts and sea tribes were in the wet riverbed, slowly feeling the life disappear from their bodies, waiting for death to come, the darkness ate away at their consciousness little by little, and they couldn't even make the last struggle after losing the water source.
Is it simple? It's so simple, the Attila Empire has accumulated a lot of food through the previous beast tide and the encirclement and suppression of the Sea Clan, and eliminated the outpost troops of the Baltic Empire, so that the Baltic Sea Tribes have tasted defeat for the first time after joining the Baltic Empire.
The entire Attila Empire from top to bottom cheered for the victory in this battle, and they were more confident in the next battle, in their minds, the Baltic Empire had never been an invincible enemy, and the so-called victory was only because the other side had seized the weakness of the long supply line.
The Baltic Empire, of course, did not give up so easily, but they were helpless to come up with a solution that could be solved, and without water, they could not swim up the river, let alone attack the towns in the interior.
As for the targets on the coastline, the Attila Empire did not have many towns and harbors on the coastline in the first place, and some of them had long since been reduced to ruins in the first wave of raids, and there was no value in continuing the raids.
Fortunately, these Baltic Sea Tribes were not carried away by their anger, and they restrained the anger in their hearts, wandering the coast, tearing apart every enemy who came close to the sea.
A week or two later, the United Kingdom had learned of the Attila Empire's approach, and they wanted to try to follow suit and use it to deal with the sea tribes in the rivers and lakes.
But unfortunately, their approach did not achieve the desired results, and the Sea Clan, who had already suffered a loss, would not give the United Kingdom a chance to build a dam, and they frantically attacked everyone who was close to the river.
Such a thing was seen by some people, and soon the news of the collapse of the Baltic Sea tribe in the Attila Empire spread throughout the United Kingdom, and even the United Kingdom could not do what the defeated Attila Empire could do, which caused even more dissatisfaction among the people.
It was like a volcano that had been prepared for a long time, waiting for a devastating explosion, and everyone understood that the United Kingdom was already in the most dangerous situation, including Gohm, including Sigourney.
However, both Gomm and Sigourney turned a blind eye, or rather, they chose inaction and patience in this matter, which they saw as a replica of the invasion of the Attila Empire.
As long as the Baltic Empire officially opened the attack on Scandinavia, as long as they were able to successfully win a victory on the battlefield and defeat the Baltic Empire's army.
No matter what kind of contradictions, no matter what kind of grievances, no matter what kind of problems can be resolved, the United Kingdom will once again be back on track, back in his control.
Alice of the Baltic Empire easily saw through their thoughts, and she also chose to remain silent about this, because she was confident in her army, and on a frontal battlefield, if it was only an opponent like the United Kingdom, the Baltic Empire had no reason to fail.
The United Kingdom needs a crucial victory, but on the flip side, if there is no victory, there is a defeat, and one can imagine what such a defeat will bring to the United Kingdom.
In the early offensive of the Baltic Empire, everyone in Scandinavia had an unforgettable spring, they knew for the first time how difficult it was for those sea tribes who hid in the water, could not leave the water, could not go ashore, and for the first time knew how sweet a sip of clean water was.
Spring in the Northland is always short, and when the ice and snow melt, the hot and dry summer has arrived, as all the lakes and rivers have entered a dry period, and the Empire's Sea Tribes have to choose to retreat, and they have no way to live in the dry riverbed and lake bottom.
At this time, all the people and all the forces in the North were paying attention to the Baltic Empire, guessing which day and where the Baltic Empire would make a move against Scandinavia.
In order to ease the pressure on her strategic allies, Golia in the Ural Mountains began to intensify her attacks on the Imperial army in the face of summer, a war involving both giants and dragons, but despite this, they were unable to breach the castles of the Baltic Empire.
The sturdy walls successfully blocked the giant's stonethrows, and the thick barrier made the dragon only let out an unwilling roar, but did not dare to approach.
The defenders of the castle had completely given up on thinking about how to defeat the enemy, and they used all the advantages they could to prolong the war as long as possible, forcing Golia to give up through this war of attrition.
Without efficient organization and adequate logistics, Golia's army would not have been able to crush the Imperial forces in the castle with a protracted war, and even the water attacks they had learned from the Attila Empire could not break the strong walls by cutting the river and blowing up the dikes.
Like a reef, it is not moved by the wind and rain, by the lapping of the waves.
As for the Celtic Isles to the west of the empire, the kings, who had been at war for two quarters, began to support the pirates in the English Channel, agreeing to anchor and supply them in their harbors, and also allowing their own people to join the ranks of the pirates, and even selling some equipment and ammunition to the pirates at a low price.
The kings had only one request, and that was to hope that the pirates of England would make a move on the North Sea, and that they would use Drake's remaining power to attract the attention of the Baltic Empire to the west and share some of the pressure on Scandinavia.
These were all things that were done in secret, and ostensibly the kings of the Celtic islands were sending emissaries in the hope of strengthening ties with the Baltic Empire and gaining more wealth through trade with the Baltic Empire.
The Celtic Isles had begun to become colonies of the Baltic Empire, and before they knew it, their markets had been occupied by the goods of the Baltic Empire, and they had become extremely dependent on the Baltic Empire economically.
If one day the Baltic Empire imposed an embargo on the Celtic islands, the economy of the region would collapse in the shortest possible time, and the prices of all supplies would skyrocket to an unimaginable level.
The kings who had no money could not even find something to eat, because of the collapse of prices, the money was completely useless, and even the casters who could cast spells with gold and silver were in trouble.
But this was all for later, and the kings of the Celtic Isles did not have such a long-term vision, and they could not understand why money was not worth much.
There were no wars to the west or east of the Baltic Empire that could put too much pressure on it, and Alice and Semiramis could put all their energy into attacking Scandinavia.
Gohm, Sigourney and Zygmund
These three are all enemies worthy of their seriousness, among them Siegmund is the rest of the Empire, no matter who faces him, especially the sword in his hand, he can't win with certainty, and it takes Alice to take action to ensure victory,
On the last day of the first week of summer, an attack from the Baltic Empire arrived, and the Sea Clan attacked the harbor that had become an ordinary one as usual.
After drawing all the defenders of the city to the harbor, ships from the Baltic Empire had already landed on the coast from the other direction, and then the Harpy forces descended from the sky to attack the undefended barracks.
In less than thirty minutes, the entire city was captured by the Empire, so fast that the inhabitants of the city could not understand what was happening, and they had become prisoners of the Empire.
The Reich did not launch an attack on the United Kingdom from one direction, all coastal cities became targets for the Reich's offensive, and the Baltic Empire, having completed the mobilization, had enough troops to do this.
In addition to the coastal offensive, the Empire's armies also appeared inland, and they went upriver by boat, cooperating with the Sea Clan to directly attack the city, and most of the cities built along the river would not build walls inside the city.
Attacks from rivers and lakes made it easy for the Imperial army to bypass the most heavily defended walls, and then easily annihilate the United Kingdom's forces through street fighting.
The disparity in equipment and tactics made the United Kingdom army, which had lost its home advantage, quickly crushed, and the defeat did not make these soldiers feel too ashamed, they threw down their weapons and turned around to join the Baltic Empire, helping the Baltic Empire pacify the people and maintain order in the city.
The public does not have much sense of belonging to the United Kingdom, a country that has only been established for a few years, and they are very disappointed because of the performance of the United Kingdom in the past six months.
Gohm and Sigourney finally had a bad time at this time, and the opposition of the people made the whole country shaky and vulnerable, and even the army led by Siegmund began to be unstable.
Victory? Without victory, the Baltic Empire was overwhelmed, easily capturing one city after another, and the size of the army was growing, the number of people was increasing, and a large number of United Kingdom troops became the assistants of the Baltic Empire.
In just half a month, most of the United Kingdom fell, and only the last cities built in the Norwegian mountains were still resisting with natural hazards and walls, with Siegmund as the commander.
The Attila Empire in the north had not yet reacted at this time, and they could not understand why the United Kingdom, which had been in a stalemate with them for so long, was simply defeated, let alone victorious, and could not even make a decent resistance.
If not because the United Kingdom was too weak, it was because the Baltic Empire was too strong, and this strength had awakened the fanatical Attilas to the next opponent they would have to face.
Just when the Attila Empire had begun to meet the attack of the Baltics, they found that the Baltic Empire had actually stopped attacking, to be precise, the attack on the north, and no Baltic had set foot in the territory of the Attila Empire.
On the other hand, the armies of the Baltic Empire began to gather and launch a storm on the cities of the Norwegian mountains, with the obvious intention of first defeating the weak United Kingdom and then attacking the Attila Empire.
In response, Gohm sent three emissaries to the Attila Empire one day, hoping to persuade the Attila Empire to launch an attack on the Baltic Empire in the north, taking advantage of the Baltic Empire's unstable foothold.
None of the three emissaries set foot on the land of the Attila Empire, and as soon as they left the city gates, Hassan came to them and took their lives.
Not only that, but the Hassan also began to spread the word that Gom was in contact with Attila, after all, the three emissaries who had left the city were not the only ones to see.
As a result, popular support for Gohm declined, and many of them even offered to surrender directly to the Baltic Empire and join the Baltic Empire's army to overthrow Gohm, who had defected to Attila.
They are absolutely unwilling to accept the help of Attila, and would rather die and surrender than stand on the same side as the Attila Empire, not to mention that in a sense, the Baltic Empire still belongs to the Scandinavian culture and is its own people.
