Chapter 845: No War in the East

The only one who can truly realize magical communication on the main plane and ensure the timeliness of information is the Baltic Empire, and other countries and forces do not have the strength and technology to develop such projects.

What happened in the Ural Mountains did not spread so quickly throughout the Northlands, to Scandinavia, where the war was going on, affecting both sides of the ongoing war.

As the attacker, the Baltic Empire army, under the leadership of Sigrud, successfully defeated two sneak attacks from the enemy, and successfully captured three castles with overwhelming force in the frontal battlefield.

These are castles that were originally built in the Scandinavian Empire to resist the attacks of the Atila Empire, specifically for war, in the hope of dragging the Atila Empire into a protracted war, and there is no need to doubt too much about the fortification.

However, the castles that can cause trouble for the Atila Empire can play an extremely limited role in the face of the Baltic Empire, and their defense does not play the expected role, not that they have become weaker, but their opponents are more terrifying and powerful.

But the real problem for the United Kingdom was not just the simple battlefield, as King Gom of China was engaged in a heated argument with the representatives of the elves and dwarves in the royal capital.

No matter what kind of war it is, the difference of opinion on the part of the commander will bring about disastrous consequences, and it is inferior to the other side in terms of strength, but now the top level of the entire army is in chaos, and it is not just about losing and retreating on the battlefield.

Defeat will bring all kinds of contradictions, elves and dwarves are unwilling to accept the leadership of the United Kingdom, they attribute the previous defeats to the command of the United Kingdom, thinking that these humans do not know what war is, do not know how to win on the battlefield.

The elves and dwarves had misunderstood the commanders and generals of the United Kingdom in this matter, and they had done enough to organize a decent revolt after a series of defeats.

Things could have gotten worse if the elves and dwarves had taken command of the army, as elves had traditionally made decisions based on parliamentary systems, and they could waste a lot of time on things that didn't matter to the overall situation of the war, while the dwarves were the opposite, preferring to pick up their hammers rather than think about them.

Whether it is elves or dwarves, they are used to losing very quickly when facing a powerful and mature army like the Baltic Empire, after all, war is sometimes not won by courage.

Victory in local battles is nothing, the overall strategic confrontation is the real key, unfortunately both tactically and strategically, the coalition forces on this side of Scandinavia are at an absolute disadvantage, and even they know where the problem is, but there is no way to change it.

The quarrel in the United Kingdom continued, and in order to keep the United Kingdom able to hold out in this war, and to be able to organize troops and supplies to the front line despite the constant news of defeat, he had to spend time communicating and consulting with the elves and dwarves.

Thankfully, he had a strong supporter in this regard, and the group of Snow Mountain Druids stood behind Gohm in this war against the Baltic Empire, providing him with strong support.

It is precisely because of the support of the Snow Mountain Druids for Gorm that the elves and dwarves are willing to discuss the problems of this war with Gorm, rather than using their force to resolve these contradictions and use force to unite the forces within the United Kingdom.

Siegrud ignored this, he was a pure military man, and he might later be able to earn the title of military strategist for this war against Scandinavia, but he did not inherit his mother's political wisdom.

It's a pity, but it's a good thing at the same time

If Sigerud had been like Sigorene, the Baltic Empire's rulers would not have been comfortable entrusting him with the task of conquering Scandinavia, no matter how talented he was.

Because if it is excellent, no, even if it is just a qualified politician who uses the power of the Baltic Empire to conquer Scandinavia at this time, he will definitely not obediently hand over the power in his hands.

With Siegrud's fame and bloodline, he could easily replicate Siegel's success in Scandinavia, relying on his prestige and ability to rebuild the Scandinavian Empire.

Three days had passed, and the task given by Semiramis could be said to have failed, and according to the rules of the Baltic Empire, the Imperial side could punish Sigurud at any time for this reason.

Semiramis wouldn't do such a thing, this punishment could give her a lot of things to do, and she could use it to propose things that would embarrass Siegmund but could not do anything about it.

It has nothing to do with Siegrud's loyalty, as a ruler, Semiramis must always pay attention to how to manipulate his subordinates, pay attention to the balance between his subordinates, and make his subordinates obey unconsciously.

Not to mention that now that the army led by Alice had won a decisive victory on the side of the Urals, the resistance on this side of Scandinavia seemed meaningless.

If Sigerud can complete the conquest of Scandinavia in the subsequent battle, then things will be very simple, if Sigerud loses and loses at the hands of Gohm, no matter how unlikely this is, as long as it happens, Jutland can easily organize a second conquest of Scandinavia.

Wealth is sometimes so unreasonable, as long as the capital reaches a sufficient level, other things are not so important, and the accumulation of resources alone can solve most of the problems and opponents.

However, Semiramis was still very satisfied with Zigrude's approach, what the empire lacked now was not excellent equipment and soldiers, but excellent commanders who could take charge of themselves, regardless of the number and quality of soldiers, excellent commanders were still irreplaceable necessities, at least for now.

The development of the entire Baltic Empire is too fast, although this development covers up a lot of problems, but the lack of background can not be solved in a short period of development, it is not denied that there are indeed some famous generals in this world who belong to geniuses, but more need to be cultivated from an early age, and there needs to be a place in the army that allows them to grow, exert their strength, and accumulate experience.

From this point of view, a person like Siegrud is very precious, and his qualities and abilities are worthy of Jutland's attention, and they are willing to give him more rights and trust him.

The steady Baltic Empire army was still advancing, and the long logistical lines were ensured by outposts every five hundred meters, which were staffed by centaurs and gnolls, both of whom had a wealth of combat experience, especially in the complex terrain of the Norwegian mountains.

The small forces of the United Kingdom were no threat to these outposts, and the druids of the Snow Mountains would not attack them, and they had suffered in this regard.

These seemingly inconspicuous outposts may contain legendary squads that are usually lurking, and only appear on the battlefield when the Snow Mountain Druids appear.

In the face of such a well-coordinated team, it is difficult for the Snow Mountain Druids to be spared, and with their small numbers, they don't have any capital to waste on this kind of thing.

In fact, from the time of the Scandinavian Empire to the present, the number of these snow-capped druids has plummeted considerably, and many houses in that village have lost their owners, and almost every family has relatives who have died in the war, including those powerful druid elders.

Even if they were to win the war, it would probably take hundreds of years for them to recuperate if they were to return to the same scale as before, and more likely, they would carry out their justice in this war and die out completely.

The adult snowy mountain druid has long been ready to sacrifice himself for ideals and justice, and those ignorant children feel the solemnity of the atmosphere, and they are not crying like before.

In fact, the situation was much worse than the Snow Mountain Druids had estimated, and their self-thought concealment had not worked for a long time, and even they had forgotten that the enemies they needed to face now had come to the Snow Mountain Druids' residence.

After confirming the position of the Snow Mountain Druids, there was no immediate action, just because the Empire still had more urgent things to solve, and now that the problems in the east have been well solved, there is no need to leave these Snow Mountain Druids behind and let them create problems for the army on the battlefield.

This operation was led by the intelligence services, with the cooperation of Sigurud and Gustas, and it was imperative to fundamentally address the organization of these snow-capped druids, which are now causing the most trouble to the Baltic Empire's army in Scandinavia.

In the past, the intelligence services would have been able to accomplish this task alone, and the help of the army would not have been needed at all, but after the battles in the Ural Mountains, the losses were no small at the same time as the victory.

The red hats of those goblins are worthy of their reputation, and if they do not have an absolute advantage, it is unknown whether these assassins of the Baltic Empire will win this assassination contest.

On the frontal battlefield, Sigurd increased the intensity of his attacks, forcing the Snow Mountain Druids to control more beasts to maintain the balance of the entire battlefield, which caused the defenses of the Snow Mountain Druids' villages to become particularly empty.

At a time when concealment, which is the most important thing and has become worthless, there is no reason for the assassins of the Baltic Empire to fail, and if this mission fails, then whatever the reason will be pale.

This would be a severe blow to the prestige of the entire Empire, and soldiers and officials would lose their reverence for the assassins, and they would no longer be bound to the prison of Imperial law, which would ensue for a short period of time.

For one reason or another, the Empire's assassins are always required to carry out missions that can only succeed and not fail, and even if they do, their exploits are hidden in the dark.

Only the hidden assassin, with that indelible layer of mystery, is enough to make people feel frightened and consciously not touch something that could bring them bad luck.

Despite the caution and caution of these assassins, they are ultimately dealing with the snow-capped druids, a force that has been entrenched in Scandinavia for an unknown number of millennia.

On the top of this land, even they don't know how many secrets are hidden, and how many back roads their ancestors have prepared for them, so that they can survive all kinds of desperate situations.

The world is dangerous, especially in the years when the previous gods were still walking on the earth, and no one could predict their future at that time, because the gods at that time rarely cared about the life or death of the ants under their feet.

In order to cope with the cruel and terrible environment, the druids of the snow-capped mountains worked tirelessly to prepare for the future, and this preparation came to the fore at this time, and the colorful light flickered in the dark night sky.

Under the reflection of the aurora, the enemies hidden in the darkness could not be hidden, their vision became white, and the pain in their minds made these tenacious assassins involuntarily shed tears.

Despite this surprise, the assassin showed good qualities, relying on the nose and ears, two organs that were not affected for the time being, with weapons in hand, hiding his body behind nearby cover as much as possible, in anticipation of a possible attack.

These assassins thought too much, they did make the situation fall into a situation that was unfavorable to them from the beginning because of the arrangement of the Snow Mountain Druids, but as the Snow Mountain Druids who were attacked, they did not organize a decent defense now.

On the whole, it is completely in disorderly chaos, and the old people with high moral standing are running around outside, and those who remain here are the old and weak women and children who do not have much combat effectiveness, as well as young people who want to fight but have little combat experience.

Some people panicked and let women and children go to the houses in the village to take refuge, some people tried to rush out to fight the enemy, and some advocated staying in the village and using the village's defensive barrier to wait for rescue.

What an irony, it is clear that the enemy has arrived at the doorstep, but these people have no way to come up with a plan to deal with it in a short time, and they can't even do the most basic to unify their voices.

The most precious time spent on the enemy was wasted
