Siegel asked lightly, although he didn't look down on races like trolls and trolls, but joining the Attila army like this and standing on the opposite side of the Scandinavian Empire still made him feel dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, about the troll ogre and the troll, I have explained in detail in my previous report. ”

There was no dissatisfaction in the herald's tone, but anyone could feel a strong sense of resentment between the lines, as if a temporary worker with a minimum wage was doing his duty for the company, while the boss with the deepest ties to the company was enjoying life without care.

"Well, that's right, I've already read that report. ”

Siegel nodded noncommittally, of course he had read the report, but it was just trolls and ogre trolls, banished to the forest by the Scandinavians, there was not much of a threat, even if they joined the ranks of the Attila army, Siegel didn't think they could achieve any threat.

"Isn't the city wall breached, and can Gorm continue to hold on, repelling the attacks of the Attila army again and again? Or have the powerful Atilla army in my impression lost their strength?"

Siegel asked strangely, because he was obsessed with the interaction with his children and wife, he had not paid much attention to the war ahead for a few days, and he felt that there was no need to continue to pay attention, and the strategic plan was being implemented step by step.

However, now there was an unexpected situation, he did not expect that Gohm, this unknown man, would be able to lead a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to a victory, and then with the deeds of a victory, through the connection of the snow mountain druids, the other forces of Scandinavia were connected to form a coalition.

At the beginning, Siegel actually didn't pay much attention to Gohm's coalition, because he believed that this kind of coalition army, which could not be cohesed into a group, would eventually repeat the mistakes of Upland City, and then give the Attira army a certain amount of losses, and usher in the final defeat.

But now, things are very different from what Siegel expected, and Gorm not only resisted Attila's attacks again and again, but also achieved good results, the death of the mammoth only appeared once in the long war between Scandinavia and Attila, and that was with the help of the woman in the south.

And the death of the mammoth also shows one thing, that is, the man Gohm has done what neither Beowulf nor Siegmund can do, and has accomplished a great feat that Siegel, a man who single-handedly built an empire, did not have.

The herald did not know how to answer the question raised by Siegel, he could not lie, the Attila army did not become weak, and he could not tell the truth, that it was Gohm's leadership and strategy that allowed the coalition to win.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about these things. ”

Siegrude's birth made it difficult for Siegel to keep him in a good mood, and if the heralds dared to take such a hesitant attitude in the past, he would definitely be angry and use fear to deepen the loyalty of the heralds to him.

"Don't worry, although Gorm's victory was accidental, but if you think about it, there is nothing strange about it, the Baltic Empire is officially involved in this war, and now Karelia, Finland and Rus' are already in full swing, and their logistics are completely cut off. ”

"Yes, my majesty, not only that, it is said that the centaur race, which has a serious conflict with other races within the Attila Empire, has begun to gather together and begin to move towards the Baltic Sea. ”

"Those humans living in the Rose Grassland, steppe elves and other races have also begun to move, and may set off a rebellion at any time to end the rule of the Attila Empire in the local area, while the army of the Baltic Empire is in a no-man's land, frantically attacking all the tribes and cities of the Attila Empire, the small and medium-sized cities on the side of the Rose Steppe have almost fallen, and in the current situation, the large cities cannot support it for too long. ”

"My Majesty, I think it is necessary to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Baltic Empire army, and the combat effectiveness they have shown can easily defeat the troops of the Attila Army, and they can easily defeat our army. ”

Siegel did not refute the herald's words, although these words were not good, but they were true, the Baltic Empire had equipment not inferior to that of the dwarves, it had successfully popularized all kinds of magic supplies, the harsh training of highly qualified warriors, and the correct tactics and strategies, all of which made this army a nightmare for the enemy.

"However, herald, there is no need to worry too much about this, the Baltic Empire is not the Attila Empire, Scandinavia is a land blessed by the gods, they will not want our land, and they cannot be our opponents on this land. ”

"Also, what kind of reply did Francis Drake give, and what conditions did he offer?"

Because of the invasion of Attila and the growing power of the Baltic Empire, the two sides, who had once hated each other, put aside their prejudices and came to the negotiating table.

Francis Drake promised to lift the blockade of Scandinavia, not to attack the merchant ships of the Scandinavian Empire, and was willing to provide some assistance in the war.

The Scandinavian Empire, on the other hand, needed to open ports to replenish Francis Drake's fleet, bought pirate's spoils at market prices, and sold goods below market prices.

However, this situation lasted only a short time, and the aid promised by Francis Drake was abruptly suspended, without which Siegel could hardly have confidence that he would be able to wage a protracted war against the Attila army, and that he would hold out until the other side collapsed first.

"Francis Drake's reply, she has not stopped aiding us, her supplies have been continuously transported to our empire, and because of the situation that we are at war with the Attila Empire, she has also increased the scale of assistance, especially some spell casting materials from the sea, the amount has been directly doubled. ”

At this point, the herald paused slightly, digesting the information he had brought, and only after a few minutes, seeing Siegel's gesture, did he continue.

"Francis Drake's words are not wrong, but there is a problem with the person who accepts it, and that person is not from our empire, but ......"

Saying this, the herald took a deep breath and cautiously glanced at Siegel's face before continuing.

"Gomm's people. ”

"What are you kidding, taking our terms, but giving what you promised to someone else, what does she mean? I'm not dead, and the Scandinavian Empire hasn't perished!"

Siegel paused for a moment, then roared wildly, which lasted for twenty minutes, during which the herald below was like a stone statue, silent.

It wasn't until Siegel was quiet and calm down that the herald spoke again.

"Some of the spellcasters in the city already have complaints, and they are more willing to trust Gorm than His Majesty, believing that under his leadership, they will be able to win this war against the Attila Empire and drive the invaders out completely?"

After venting just now, Siegel's emotions have almost stabilized, even if he receives bad news again, he can think very calmly, to sort out the causes and consequences of this matter, and the ins and outs.

"Complain? What qualifications do they have to complain? Are you kidding? My herald, those guys are provided with food and clothing by the Empire, even their magic towers, their experimental materials, and spell casting materials are all provided by the Empire, and now you tell me that our Empire has paid so much and has only gained complaints?"

Siegel said coldly, obviously full of angry language, but he said a cold like a Siberian cold current.

"Okay, I see, in the evening, you inform the spellcasters, I will communicate with them here, about this war, I need to make them understand that this empire was founded by me, I am still the emperor of this empire, and what I can give them, I can also take it back."

Siegel's words made the herald sweat profusely and shake his body, who can become a herald, may lack in ability, but he is absolutely loyal to Siegel.

Siegel is still Siegel, just like a sleeping lion will wake up one day, he may have built this empire with many despicable means, and he was resented and spurned, but this is definitely not a reason to underestimate him.

Siegel waved the herald away, he needed an empty, quiet place to think about where the empire was headed.

The plan that had been made before, with Gohm's rise and a string of victories, was no longer suitable for the current situation.

He can't continue to sit back and watch Gaum grow stronger, even if the other party has become a threat now, if he doesn't take action, it will be more than a simple threat.

Like Alice Semiramis, Siegel also thought of repelling the Attila army at a critical moment, taking over the city's defenses as a savior, and solving Gohm's problem with a dignified strategy.

However, such a thought was abandoned after a round in Siegel's mind, it was not that he had no way to do it, but that he had a clear understanding of himself and knew that he did not have much talent and ability in tactics.

It is no problem to let him formulate strategic directions and goals, and collide with the Attila Empire on a macro scale, but it is difficult for him to formulate tactics and command the army to win on the battlefield.

Siegel is a person who believes that only the right people are in the right position and play the right role, but if they are in the right place, they can't reflect the value and don't have any role, then they play the role of garbage.

He pondered for a long time, and found that there was no other way to do it, the army on the front line was out of his control, and the supplies were provided by the North Sea Pirate Kingdom and the Baltic Empire, and even the so-called righteousness and orthodoxy had become pale in the face of foreign enemies.

What happened in Upland cannot happen a second time, the tolerance of the people has always been limited, and when they can't bear it anymore, they will choose to vote with their feet.

If that time really comes, Siegel believes, the gods will definitely choose the former between faith and him.

"However, the contradiction between Francis Drake and Alice, this can be exploited."

Siegel thought of what the Pirate Kingdom of the North Sea had done during this time, and whispered to himself.

He didn't like Francis Drake, never did, but if it was for profit, he could give it up for the time being.

The rapprochement with Francis Drake was very important, as it meant that they were able to obtain supplies from the sea trade routes to ease the logistical pressure of the Scandinavian Empire.

At the same time, the reconciliation between the two sides can curb the development of the Baltic Empire to a certain extent, even if the situation is not very good now, Siegel does not think that he will be defeated by the Attila Empire, which only knows how to fight and kill, without any logistics and industry.

After successfully taking advantage of the conditions he did not intend to abide by to involve the Baltic Empire in this war, he could claim victory.

So, now that he has his eyes on Gohm, on the Baltic Empire, especially Gohm, he will definitely not allow an unknown person to shake his position.

"Herald."

Siegel suddenly raised his head and called out loudly.

"Your Majesty."

Ten seconds later, a herald appeared in the hall, they were all on standby, and when they received Siegel's call, they would immediately appear, ready to convey Siegel's order.

"I want to know, can we contact the Attila Empire?"

"Don't be perfunctory with me, I need a definite answer."

The Emperor's words caused the herald to bow his head, and then in a visibly suppressed voice, he replied.

"I'm sorry, my majesty."

"The Attila Empire only accepts the surrender of the losers, they need subjects, they don't need allies, and they don't compromise with their prey."

"Haha, it's really arrogant, it's really arrogant, so let me see, in this war, who is the hunter, who is the prey, who is the winner, who is the loser."

Siegel laughed angrily, he had seen a lot of arrogant people, but it was the first time he had seen such arrogant.

But in this case, he wants to kill with a knife, and kill with the knife of Atila...... Gohm.
