It is still difficult to understand the thoughts and intentions of Diocalion after such discussions and speculations, and Alice intends to wait until after the banquet to find a more suitable time to contact and talk with Diocalion to confirm his attitude.

Came to the Baltic Empire to be a friend, or to be willing to be an enemy

However, at this time, it is most important to enjoy this celebration of the annual harvest of the Baltic Empire, to share the joy with the people, so that the people can intuitively feel their efforts, and let them understand the achievements of their sweat.

This feast would last for a long time, and the food consumed would be enough to bankrupt some small countries, and even more so in the barren and scarce places of the Ural Mountains, it was unimaginable.

However, not everyone is enjoying the feast, and underneath the superficial revelry, there are always undercurrents flowing, and the assassins of the Baltic Empire's intelligence services and the Hassan of Assasin are chasing these undercurrents.

The assassination on the last day of the auction has not yet been discovered, and not only that, but the Hassans who are disguised as assassins are still using their identities to infiltrate the enemy.

Despite this, they only have access to partial information, which is very fragmented and difficult to connect together, as if everyone has become a part of a machine, and if you damage some of them, it will not affect the operation of the whole machine, because there are a large number of substitute parts that can be used.

However, time was running out for them, and the only thing they could know now was that these enemies, who had been connected together, had launched their attack at the end of the last day of the celebration.

As for other information, such as who the organizers were, what kind of methods they took, and what kind of results they hoped to obtain, they did not obtain these more critical information, as Hassan felt at a loss at this time.

The more this is the case, the more Alice and Semiramis dare not be careless, the other party is definitely not the previous ones who have no command, no plan, short-sighted, and is definitely a strategic, planned, very familiar with the situation of the Baltic Empire, and has made targeted arrangements.

If you put yourself in her shoes, what would Alice do if she were the attacker?

Think about it carefully, directly in the open sea, use the plural legendary caster, cast the [Tsunami Technique], use the tsunami to submerge Jutland City, and completely destroy the ships docked in Jutland Harbor.

Summoning multiple meteorites in the sky over Jutland, attacking the city to create chaos, and infiltrating the underground waterways of Jutland to cause collapse and cracks with seismology.

However, this is only theoretically possible, in fact, Jutland is surrounded by protective magic, neither meteorites nor tsunamis can break through these defenses, and it is nonsense to use the opportunity to destroy underground waterways and cause earthquakes.

The walls of the underground waterways are inscribed with a large number of magic arrays used to strengthen the sturdy, and there are all kinds of monsters in the underground waterways to survive, and outsiders cannot find opportunities in them.

After ruling out these, the only possibility left is to hide in the crowd and launch an attack, which is a more reliable plan, just like the dragon beast found at the auction before, which has taken high-quality dragon blood potion.

This is a difficult problem to investigate and solve, because there are so many outsiders in the Baltic Sea nowadays, many of them carrying dangerous items on their bodies, and even when they attack, these people do not know and do not think that they will become attackers.

It was at this time that Alice and Semiramis really understood the meaning of this self-talk, and at the same time, they also felt that while their family was big, they would also become constrained.

In such a tangled mood, this banquet in the Baltic Empire ushered in the last day, and everyone was enjoying the last revelry, because the next such banquet is estimated to be at the end of the auction in the second year.

No, this is also a matter of course, if there is another major war in the Northlands, and the Baltic Empire is involved, next year's auction may be held, after all, during the war, security is difficult to guarantee.

The fireworks in the sky are constantly blooming, all kinds of graphics and colors make the whole night sky like an unimaginable picture, many outsiders from other places, are raising their heads, looking up at the starry sky, reflecting this scene into their hearts,

This is a beautiful picture that they have never seen in their lives, and the experience in Jutland during this time is worth remembering for a lifetime, and they have a yearning for this country, and after they go back, they will try their best to promote the strength of the Baltic Empire, and try their best to join this country and become a member of this country.

Just when they were intoxicated by such beauty, danger also came to them unconsciously, and the brilliant explosion of fireworks in the sky did not go out, but fell into the crowd with a little firelight.

Some of those who couldn't dodge turned into fireballs the moment they made contact, letting out heart-palpitating wails, running wildly, rolling on the ground, and their movements allowed the flames to spread rapidly.

Whether it was the burning objects or the flames on the crowd, they were slowly extinguishing, and the warriors of the Baltic Empire wearing armor had already come to the side of these wounded, and quickly rushed to the treatment point with them, where there were already spellcasters who specialized in medical treatment waiting, just burns, not any incurable incurable diseases.

The fireworks in the sky have stopped, the soldiers have begun to maintain order, anyone who does not obey the command, will attract the attack of the soldiers, there is no emotion and reason to speak, at such a special time, violent and forceful means, although there will be complaints, but from another point of view, it is extremely effective.

In just a few minutes, order was maintained, with the occasional child's cry telling of the last regrets of the celebration, and people began to leave the venue and the streets under the guidance of the warriors, and return to their homes or hotels.

The Baltic Empire imposed a curfew directly in Jutland, and any non-Imperial soldiers who appeared on the streets would be attacked by the Empire, and there would also be spellcasters involved.

All the magic towers in Jutland have been activated, and the magic light of various colors has dispelled the darkness of the night, and if you look down at Jutland from a high altitude, the scene you see must be even more beautiful than the fireworks just now.

However, the enemy attack seemed to be only the first fireworks, and then it fell silent, and only the neat footsteps of heavily armored Baltic warriors echoed throughout the city.

This is not the first time that such a scene has happened, and a small temptation has disrupted the layout of the empire, giving a little trace of the magnificent poetry of the empire, destroying the magnificent wholeness, and bringing substantial, huge losses to the empire.

"It's like an assassin, who succeeds or fails, only strikes and goes, with his own safety as the first goal, and his own safety as the first priority, as was the case the last time we fought the sea dragons in the English Channel. ”

Alice stood on the balcony of the castle, looking down at the colorful city illuminated by various lights, her face already with a solemn expression, obviously putting the mastermind behind this attack in a position that needed to be taken seriously.

"Who do you think it is? The poisonous snake that has been hiding in the shadows. ”

Semiramis held the wine glass, the pure red wine in the glass, with a luster like blood, and her face was already floating with two blushes, with a beauty that people could not take their eyes off.

"This poisonous snake has not been hidden in the shadows, he has never been at peace, maybe when we don't know, he has been involved in our war in the Ural Mountains, and then it is estimated that he will also intervene in the disputes in the North Sea, if Francis Drake is defeated, then our Baltic Empire will become the biggest beneficiary, for the empire, the entire North does not exist and can be a constraint. ”

Alice made the following judgment, if the other party is really an enemy of the Baltic Empire and wants to overthrow the rule of the Baltic Empire, then the war in the Ural Mountains and the war in the North Sea will definitely participate in it and take action on the opposite side of the Empire.

"The next step is to make a little preparation, the other party's patience is very good, and even Hassan can't crack the secrecy work, if we continue to use the previous method, it will be difficult for us to solve him. ”

"Lead the snake out of the hole? I remember you saying that word before. ”

Semiramis asked.

"Well, the best way to deal with this kind of hidden and tricky guy is to lure the snake out of the hole, even if he knows that the bait we have placed has added poison, in order to achieve their purpose, they will still appear from the shadows and carry out their actions. ”

Alice agrees with Semiramis's idea, but she asks another question.

"However, this guy is so deeply hidden, and he is so hidden, it is very likely that he will not come out to bite the bait, he may give up a chance to inflict a heavy blow on the empire, choose to fight for a long time, and bring trouble to the empire for a long time. ”

"It's not impossible, but it's really too small, and now the only thing that prevents our empire from completing the unification of the entire Northland is the next level, that is, the control and domination of the North Sea. ”

"If the empire can gain the right to rule this part of the North Sea, then the Baltic Sea will completely become the inland sea of the empire, and Scandinavia will be surrounded by the empire and will be completely blocked by the empire. ”

"History has proven that the barrenness of Scandinavia, especially the cold winter, can be the worst enemy of every country in Scandinavia if there is no foreign material to support it. ”

Semiramis follows Alice's question and conducts an in-depth analysis.

"So, this war in the North Sea, for the Baltic Empire, is essentially very important, much more important than many people think, and I think with that guy's means, it is impossible for him not to see this. ”

"Do you think that in such a situation, in the face of the opportunity to destroy the Baltic Empire and unify the entire Northland, he will give up so easily?

If it is with hatred for the Baltic Empire, with the goal of destroying the Baltic Empire, then it will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, knowing that there is a certain risk, but the benefits are always proportional to the risks, and in the face of such large gains, it seems that the risks are not a problem.

Francis Drake, the woman with the title of "Tempest Lord", is a formidable opponent on the seas to be able to compete with the Baltic Empire's navy, even if she seems to have been forced to the point of exhaustion.

No one dares to really underestimate her, holding the evidence of the overlord of the North Sea in her hand, and being able to easily operate a sea disaster such as a storm, plus her car, the battleship called the Golden Deer, this is enough for her to fight against a strong man like Alice at sea, and not fall behind.

The reason why she has become like this now, the reason why the North Sea Kingdom will be crumbling and on the verge of collapse, is not because she has lost on the battlefield, not because her force is inferior to the other party.

Rather, her enemies did not engage her head-on on the battlefield, but instead broke them up, from her logistical supply lines, from her star-strewn islands, from the ships she was building.

It's just a simple destruction, you don't need to think about construction, it's always the simplest, with the materials of the Baltic Empire, Francis Drake's enemies, it's just constantly destroying, destroying, burning, and killing.

In essence, the completely unequal and unfair war was the main reason why Francis Drake was really in trouble, and her sailors and ships were getting fewer and fewer, and she could not be replenished after the loss, and even the most important fresh water for sea navigation could only be replenished on the desolate and remote west coast of Scandinavia.

What's more, the treasures in her hands are difficult to convert into much-needed supplies, gold and jewelry, and at such times, they are useless ornaments that can only be placed in the treasure room.

Because even the Scandinavians are now difficult to trade the treasures obtained from Francis Drake with the merchants of the Baltic Empire for other materials that can be used.
