Chapter 794: Created Hatred
Gohm finally agreed to Sigourne's request with a bitter face.
He had no other choice, and if Sigourney hadn't brought it up, he would still have continued to use Siegmund later, giving him trust and letting him lead his army into battle.
However, there is another benefit to being proposed by Sigourney, which gives Gaume steps in disguise, slightly eases the relationship between the two sides, and makes the contradictions between the two sides no longer sharp.
While the United Kingdom was mobilizing for war again and preparing for an attack from the west of the Baltic Empire, the forces of the Baltic Empire had already planned an attack on the Attila Empire from both Scandinavia and Karelia.
The army from Scandinavia, whose goal was Upland, was to directly empty the spirits that wandered there, purify the land, and use this victory to sweep away the haze caused by the previous defeat.
The army from Karelia was the industrial and agricultural cities of the Attila Empire, which was logistically cut off from the war potential of the Attila Empire, and was to achieve this strategic goal as much as possible before the onset of winter.
If the war goes according to plan, the two armies will merge in the capital of the Attila Empire before spring to deal with the formidable enemy that has been entrenched in the north of Scandinavia for many years.
At such a stage of the war, there is no need to think about what winters, what beast tides, what floods, and the Baltic Empire has enough materials and strength to solve these problems.
As long as the Attila Empire can be completely wiped out and the conquest of Scandinavia can be completed, these efforts can be rewarded by developing this land.
If it is an ordinary king, in the face of such a desperate situation, he must have begun to think about how to negotiate peace with the Baltic Empire, and try to preserve his status and rights.
However, Attila has never been ordinary, she has no way to explain it in two words, in her concept, there are always only two endings: destroying the enemy and being destroyed by the enemy.
She never cared about the enemies she destroyed, and she never cared if she would be destroyed by the enemy, and it was difficult for those who fought with her to see the innate desire to survive in her.
Even some of her enemies will refer to Attila as "knight's tool" and "puppet of destruction", and she is not placed in a position of equal ability to communicate at all, except for her feared powers, nothing else deserves to be cared about and valued.
In the face of the main army of the Baltic Empire, the Attila Empire directly gave up the choice of fighting in the land of Uppland, they knew that there were many luck factors in the last victory, and if they planned to repeat the old tricks, they would suffer heavy losses and fall into passivity.
Instead of using the difficult terrain to resist in the south, in the east of the Attila Empire, two knights led an army engaged in fierce battles against the attacking enemy, defended by plague and death, and by the city's tall walls.
The knights weren't going to just throw in the towel, believing that they still had hope of victory and the possibility of keeping the country alive.
Each city became the focus of contention between the two sides, and unlike before, the Attila Empire showed a tough stance, forcing the ordinary inhabitants to take up arms and stand on the walls and let them participate in the battle.
Those inhabitants have no choice, and if they refuse to take up arms and walk up the walls, what awaits them will be death without hesitation, along with their families.
Participating in the battle will lead to death, and death will bring irreconcilable hatred, and in this way they will force these inhabitants to stand against the Baltic Empire, and tie them to the station train of the Attila Empire through hatred.
The seeds of hatred have been planted in the land called war, and under the watering of blood and the light of war, it is rapidly taking root and thriving, forcing the Attila and the Baltic to fight to the death, and only the complete fall of one of the two sides can end the war.
The results of this method are indeed remarkable, and in the entire eastern battlefield, there is no more large-scale surrender by Hu Xianguo, many people know that this is the means and conspiracy of the Attila Empire, but they still cannot control their emotions and hate the Baltic Empire that killed their relatives.
Storm the walls, fight for them, fight in the streets, and win
The advance of the Baltic Empire's armies slowed down with the intensity of resistance, and casualties rose in a straight line, almost every day several wagons full of wounded people who could not continue to fight returned to the Baltic Empire, and more were plague-infected corpses, which could only be cremated in place and could not be kept for a long time.
For the first time, the people who stayed in the peaceful area felt that the threat of war and death was so close to them, and they had heard what was happening in the Attila Empire, and even the elderly, women, children, and children were required to stand on the walls with weapons in their hands, and they could not imagine what a terrible scene it would be if such a thing happened in the Baltic Empire.
Affected by this, no one in the Baltic Empire dared to oppose the war, because those who opposed the war would be angrily spurned by the people around them, and even their families would look down on them and refuse to recognize their relationship.
Winter is still a few weeks away, but the air can already feel a slight coolness, and the blue sky has become gloomy, gray and depressing.
In the Upland region of Scandinavia, the environment is even worse, with dark clouds that do not even have the light of lightning, and it is still daytime, but it seems to be a dark night.
Even the land here is cursed, uninhabitable, unable to grow grain, and walking here, you need to be careful of the bones that will appear at your feet at some point, and the ghosts that will emerge from the dirt at any time.
In such an environment, an army wearing black armor was stationed outside, and surrounded by layers of troops, the number of spellcasters was as high as three digits were preparing.
Rather than wasting time and energy to bury the undead who cannot rest in peace, they prefer to solve the problem once and for all, as long as they can solve this cursed land once and for all, without the support of negative energy, those undead will soon leave this main plane and go to the underworld to usher in their "new life".
With the efforts of these spellcasters, the sea breeze from the Baltic Sea blew away the dark clouds in the sky, and the long-lost sunlight fell on the land, and the black fog gathered by the negative energy retreated one after another, and was finally completely penetrated and dissipated.
These rays of sunlight are not only warm, but also contain a terrifying restraint on negative energy, and this light dispels not only the gloom of the environment, but also the clouds that hang over people's hearts.
The body of the undead hovering in mid-air gradually became transparent, and the hideous expression on his face became serene, as if the resentment in his heart had disappeared with the wind.
The skeletons that wandered on the ground turned into bones scattered on the ground again in the sunlight, and the wind blew gently and turned into dust.
This purification work lasted for three days, and three hundred spellcasters, plus twenty legends, successfully turned this piece of underworld into normal after consuming countless magical materials.
During this period, the Attila Empire and the United Kingdom were simply harassing, knowing in essence that their efforts had become very weak and worthless in the face of the prepared Baltic Empire.
After that, these people found the Yeats who were killed in the last war on this land, and their armor and weapons had been taken away, and their bodies were quickly corroded into zombies by negative energy.
However, even if the negative energy on their bodies is dispelled, these zombies still carry a terrible plague on their bodies, a trap left behind by the Attila Empire, and if the Scandinavians are customary, these corpses will be buried properly and then pollute the entire cemetery.
It's not just the corpses that carry the plague, it's the whole city, every building, every object that carries the plague, and when night comes, the plague will create new undead and will turn the land into the underworld again.
The Baltic Empire would never have allowed the spellcasters to dispel all the plagues, because the amount of work would be too large and the amount of magic materials would be too much to count.
Except for the more valuable items that were preserved, everything else was burned by the flames, and terrible flames swept through the poor city, which had been reduced to ruins and no longer glorious.
When this flame is extinguished and the spring flood is over, the land will be reborn, and countless plants will take root from all kinds of corners, and all kinds of small animals will migrate from other places to occupy this rich place.
The bones of the Jeats, awakened from their eternal slumber, and the bodies of the dead Yaats slowly disappeared in the flames, and the Jeats who had come with the army fell to their knees, swearing to their ancestors and gods that they and their descendants would die forever and forever for the Baltic Empire.
It was an oath that could never be broken by the Yaats clan unless they were willing to lose the favor of the gods, be spurned by their ancestors, or be betrayed by the Baltic Empire.
Until the army had settled down and begun to build the castle with the new materials they had brought, they kept as quiet as they could, without noise, without noise, without shouts of victory.
The loss of the land of Upland is not good news for the Attila Empire, and the geographical location of the land of Upland is actually very critical for the entire Attila Empire.
After occupying this land, the Baltic Empire will build a bridgehead for the attack on the Attila Empire here, with the land of Upland as the center, and most of the Attila Empire can be included in the attack.
This was a threat that the Attila Empire could not ignore, as most of their armies had already been thrown into the eastern part of the empire to fight the war for every inch of land.
The more times like this, the more the role of allies is reflected, if there is no United Kingdom by the side, the Baltic Empire, which has taken the land of Upplan, can easily directly penetrate the entire Attila Empire, smash the Yellow Dragon, and come to the capital of the Attila Empire.
In this environment, Siegmund and his army began to descend from the Norwegian mountains for the second time and began to attack the towns of the Baltic Empire, and the quality of the soldiers and equipment of this army cannot be compared with the last time.
The offensive of this army was not going well, and it had been five days since they left the Norwegian mountains, during which time they had not achieved the slightest success, had not taken cities, had not attacked supply teams.
It's not that Siegmund doesn't want to do these things, if they can take cities, if they can attack supply teams, then they will be able to attract more attention from the Baltic Empire troops.
The mountains of Norway are very vast lands with long borders with the Baltic Empire, and they can attack the enemy from a point along these borders.
In fact, in Siegmund's opinion, such an attack is not very dangerous, and the purpose of their coming here this time is not to recover the territory, but to use the attack to relieve the pressure on the Attila Empire, if they can't defeat it, they can retreat directly into the Norwegian mountains.
With the dense forests of the Norwegian mountains as a block, they can easily escape the pursuit of the Baltic Empire army if they are familiar with the environment, and when the pursuers leave, they will attack again.
This was Siegmund's ideal strategy, a strategy that there was no way to implement for the time being, and the reason for not being able to implement it was very simple and full of irony, and his soldiers were unwilling to follow his orders.
As Gorm said, Siegmund was once a hero who had been spurned by the whole country, and his name was now equated with a despicable coward, and many people thought that his existence was to tarnish Barushinger's bloodline and glories, and they all wanted him to die soon.
Upon learning of the United Kingdom's movements, the Baltic Empire was quick to act, and Siegrud once again stood in opposition to his father.
For the sake of the justice in his heart, he will not spare his hands again, and when they meet again, only one of them will survive from the battlefield.
