"Autumn is over, and this year is also a good year. ”

Sitting on the balcony at the highest point of the castle in the middle of Jutland, looking at the endless flow of people, Alice gently wrung a sip of black tea with honey, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth, making her eyes squint like a cat.

The establishment of the Baltic Empire and the successful conquest of the islands of Funen and Zealand connected Jutland, Rice, Funen, and Zealand in a straight line, forming a golden waterway, with countless goods traded in the ports of Jutland every day, and countless merchant ships coming and going.

The development of commerce made Alice's small vault quickly fill, and every day you could see the golden coins being transported into it, piled up into a small mountain, if those dragons saw such a scene, they would definitely make a robbery scene desperately.

"yes, yes, it's been a good year, and if you can help me get rid of these things, that's even better. ”

Skaha, who was buried in the mountains of papers that filled the table, couldn't help but raise his head and glance at her when he heard Alice's exclamation.

"Skaha, I've heard a saying that the capable work harder, and it doesn't hurt to do more for those who are capable. ”

Alice scratched her face, looked away from the balcony, and looked at the rare girl who was not wearing a leotard, without the slightest look of embarrassment on her face.

Alice also knew that it was indeed difficult for Skaha, a battle maniac who loved to fight, was willing to fight, and obsessed with fighting, and stayed in Jutland to help her manage the city and train the army.

But she can't help it, the vampire maids who can take charge of her own already have their own tasks, Qil is still training to promote to legend where the mountain man is, and Semiramis is now busy managing the Baltic Empire, and the newly established empire has filled a room, more than here.

Besides, Jutland is the first and most critical city that Alice founded, and if there is no legend stationed here, she will not be able to be distracted from other things.

"I don't know what potions you fed me. ”

Looking at Alice, whose skin was thicker than the city wall, Skaha had no other way but to sigh, and she didn't know what kind of magic and charm the other party had, which made her addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself.

"Okay, okay, I'll play with you after dinner, and exercise after cooking. ”

Alice certainly knows Skaha, what she likes and doesn't like, and at heart, Skaha is a good teacher, very simple and very easy to understand.

Hearing Alice's words, Skaha's eyes lit up suddenly, and he felt that his whole body was full of energy, and the documents piled up on the desktop and full of words in front of him did not look as odious as he imagined.

During her time in Jutland, it was not the first time that Skaha had fought Alice, and although each battle ended in defeat, she could clearly feel the improvement in her combat effectiveness every time, especially in terms of experience in fighting spellcasters, which was very different from before.

If Skaha were to be compared to the time when she fought against Attila's army, she was confident that she would be able to defeat her former self in a short period of time at a small cost.

"What about the Rose Meadows? Do you think those guys can threaten Attila?"

"Of course, those are hairy guys, but they are not so easy to solve. ”

Alice doesn't know much about the Rus steppe, but she knows that it was one of the first places conquered by Attila, and the vast steppe is very suitable for the development of animal husbandry, and it is the most important logistical support for the invincible and invincible army of Attila.

"Maozi, what are you? Do you mean the humans who live in the Ross steppe?"

"Uh. ”

Alice smiled awkwardly at Skaha's question, she didn't know why the name Maozi appeared in her mind when she mentioned those people, and it was full of malice.

"Okay, don't dwell on those questions. ”

Alice shook her head and quickly changed the subject.

"You know about the Rus' people, their civilization seems to be even more backward than that of Scandinavia, and it is still very primitive, they don't even have their own written language, and the tribes are made up of blood relations. ”

The library in Alice's mind can almost be called the largest library in the main plane, but time is constantly advancing, the world is constantly changing, and things in the humanities may be very different in a month, so the previous materials and information can only be used as a reference for the present.

She had also asked people to collect information on the Rus Grassland, and she also instructed Alia to go to the Rus Grassland to trade, but there were many things that people outside did not understand and were difficult to hear.

"I've heard them talk about it before, when I fought against Attila with Beowulf. ”

Skaha stretched, stood up, walked over to Alice, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"There are a lot of people in the Ross steppe who come from Scandinavia, because the Rus steppe is more suitable for human habitation than the Scandinavian environment. ”

With the migration of the Scandinavians, the belief in the Aesir gods also developed in the Rus' steppe, and not only humans, but also the centaurs and gnolls also began to believe in the Aesir gods until they were conquered by the Atila. ”

"Are the descendants of the Scandinavians still believing in the Aesir gods?

With that character of Beowulf, it is certainly not indifferent to see the descendants of the Scandinavians being bullied.

"No matter what he thinks, he can't help it, because it's across the Baltic Sea. ”

Unless it was in the winter when the sea was frozen, it was not easy for the Scandinavians to cross the dangerous Baltic Sea with their poor shipbuilding and seafaring skills.

"And later Attila quickly conquered Karelia and Finland, Beowulf did not have the energy to care about the affairs of the more distant Rus' steppes, and you know what happened after that, in order to defend against two invasions of Atira, they suffered great losses. ”

"That's right. ”

Alice nodded, looked at the busy docks in the distance, looked at the rhinoceros people who carried the goods like ants, and whispered.

"It's going to be a busy winter this year, and hopefully Alia can bring me some good news. ”

Aria is carrying out her plan in the Rus' steppes, trying to beat the relationship between the various tribes of the Rus' steppes, and supporting the strongest of them, so that he can complete the unification of the Rus' steppes in the shortest possible time, and then complete the containment of the Attila Empire in the east.

As long as it is like the frost giant centaur rebels before it, it involves some of the energy of the Attila Empire, even if it only involves the combat power of a knight, it is excellent for the nascent Baltic Empire.

"What about Scandinavia? I've seen Siegel, and he's not a man who keeps to himself, even if it's a difficult situation because of the Yaats. ”

After talking about the Attila Empire, we have to talk about the Scandinavian Empire, and now the situation around the Baltic Sea will remain three-legged for a long time.

"...... over there"

Saying this, Alice couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Alice's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Skaha asked curiously, because it was rare to be able to make Alice, who had always been full of confidence and wisdom beads, show such an expression.

"Sigourney hasn't been in contact with me since the Baltic was established, and she hasn't responded to any messages I sent. ”

"Siegel found out about your connection?"

"No, if that's not the worst part, now I can't even contact the White Bear People and the Snow Mountain Druids, the last time Alia came back, it was reported that they didn't come to receive our aid from them. ”

If Sigourney can't be contacted and Siegel can be used as a reason for discovering their relationship, then it is a bit of a stretch to say that even the White Bear and the Snow Mountain Druid can't be contacted.

No, it would be reasonable if the Snow Mountain Druids could not be contacted, after all, the Yeats had been defeated, Scandinavia had been unified, Siegel was crowned king, and the belief was also a member of the Aesir Divine Clan, and there were also people who supported Siegel among the Snow Mountain Druids, and it was normal for them to change their stance in Alice's opinion.

The worst possibility is that Sigourney decided to dissociate herself from Alice, not to dwell on her hatred of Segal, and to become her Scandinavian queen wholeheartedly.

"Can that woman forget the hatred of Siegel for killing her father and brother and destroying her home country?"

Skaha thought about it, and never thought that that sensual woman would let go of it so easily.

"I don't know, now that we're really tearing up our faces, it's hard to get information from them unless I take action myself. ”

Since accepting the Yeats, Alice can be said to have really torn her face with Siegel, throwing away even the superficial feelings of allies, and officially starting hostilities, which is why she openly ordered all merchant ships to and from Scandinavia, instead of relying on the help of Francis Drake as before.

"Woman...... Alice, you seem to have mentioned before that Sigourne is pregnant with Siegel's child?"

Suddenly, Skaha thought of something, raised his head, and looked at Alice next to him.

"Skaha, do you mean kid? That seems to be a real possibility......

When the blood of the Ballusengers and Goths appeared in this world, and he was still a boy, then Sigourney would give up revenge on Siegel directly, and instead focus on her own child, so that he could finally ascend to the throne of the Scandinavian Empire and create an empire of the Barusingers.

And maybe Sigourne will give up revenge for the sake of her children, forget about her father and brother, and concentrate on playing the role of a queen, a wife, and a mother.

"If Sigomery gives up on revenge, then I will have to deal with a united Scandinavian Empire, even if they still have all the problems they don't deal with, and they are weakened by the fire of the Yaats. ”

"In this way, it was my mistake to take in the Yeats with great fanfare before, and not to do a good job of Sigoarney's change of attitude. ”

Alice's previous decisions were all based on the fact that the Scandinavian Empire had just been established, internal and external troubles, and Siegel's throne could not be stabilized, but now the biggest worry, if Sigourney gives up revenge, then everything she has arranged needs to be overturned and rearranged, and the plans she has made must be rewritten.

"It's not a mistake or a mistake, even the goddess of fate can't see the flow of the long river of fate, it's normal for these problems to occur, and now what we need is to analyze the new situation that arises and find a way to solve the new problems that arise. ”

Skaha said reassuringly.

Alice nodded, but didn't say anything, if the Scandinavian situation really happened, then she had to take the primary responsibility for the strategy developed after analyzing Sigoney's character.

"Alice, what we are talking about now is just a conclusion based on the existing intelligence analysis, what is the real situation in Scandinavia, what is the situation in Sigoaney, and the situation of those snow-capped druids, we don't know yet, it's too early to draw conclusions. ”

"However, there is always nothing wrong with preparing in advance, and you will not be in a hurry to do a few plans for one thing, no matter what the situation is. ”

Alice doesn't agree with Skaha, and it's her habit to nip problems in the bud.

"Skaha, Jutland's side will ask you to spend a little more time, Alia, Bambi, and Remi have Semiramis watching, and there will be no major problems, but Schleswig's side ......"

"I'll watch over there in Schleswig, those Hassan and that mountain man are not my opponents, don't worry. ”

Skaha took Alice's words with understanding, she knew the danger of those Hassan and the Mountain Man, who were able to successfully kill the legendary powerhouses before they reached the legend, and she didn't believe that a contract could bind them.

"Don't worry too much, the mountain is a person who will judge the situation, and with my presence, they will only play some tricks, after all, the treaty signed with them before is an equal treaty, and they are only our allies, not our subordinates. ”

Worried that Skaha's personality would clash with the mountain man, Alice still didn't feel at ease and gave a few words.

"Don't worry, you just need to concentrate on the problems of the Scandinavian Empire, that's the most important thing right now, and leave the rest to me and Semiramis. ”

Obviously he was still complaining just now, and his heart was full of disgust for those who would never finish writing documents, but when the words came to his mouth, they became Alice's words, maybe for Skaha, this is the poison called love.
