Chapter 394: Inside and Out

Contrary to Alice's thoughts, Sigourn, who should have lost her freedom and was imprisoned in the Gothic palace and could not move, quickly replied to her, with delicate fonts and some subtle marks, allowing the White Bear Chief to confirm the truth of the information, and at the same time let them know the current situation of Sigourney and the Gothic Kingdom.

It's not much better, but if you compare it to before, Sigoaney's life now is a little like the life of a Gothic queen, at least Siegel has let go of her control, and no longer treats her like a puppet.

Although Siegel was very angry about Siegmund's escape, but for the sake of Sigourney being the woman he liked and pregnant with his child, Siegel forgave her, relaxed his control and surveillance of her, and gave him an hour or two of free time every day to walk around, take a look at the scenery of the palace, relax a little, and think about how to use the child in her belly to deal with her husband in a better state.

The fate of this unborn child must be rough and miserable, and who is resentful of this, whose father killed his mother's family in the name of marriage for the sake of ambition, and her mother used the enemy's son to achieve her revenge, although not a qualified mother, but a qualified avenger who did whatever it took to get revenge.

After Segal had arranged for Sigonay, he put aside Sigmund's anger at escaping and Sigoanne's joy at conceiving his child, and began to devote himself to the great cause of unifying all of Scandinavia.

This wildness and purpose had been in his heart for many years, and after he ascended to the throne of the Gothic king, he prepared and waited for the opportunity to arise, and as a believer of Loki, he obtained the news from Loki's mouth with a very precious sacrifice.

Siegel believes in the gods he believes in, and even among the many gods, Loki has the title of the god of mischief, and among the group of gods, his popularity is very bad, and only a few of them can barely be considered friends.

The core of Siegel's army was composed of 3,000 berserkers, 100 shamans, and a few druids, as well as a number of tribal alliances that submitted to him.

But not everyone can remain calm and die generously in the face of death, and during the battle in which Siegel destroyed the city of Barusenga, some druids saw the bones of Barushinger and their princes, and were dominated by the fear of death, and gave up their dignity and loyalty, and surrendered to their sworn enemy, Siegel.

This is also the reason why there are some druids in Siegel's army, of course, there are not necessarily people like Sigourney among these druids, in order to avenge Barusenger, in order to kill Siegel, the culprit who destroyed their hometown, and are willing to endure humiliation, silence, waiting, the day when they can kill Siegel.

Siegel's trip was very low-key, and only the people in the palace knew of his departure, because this time his purpose was not to deal with the foreign enemy, but to deal with the kings and chieftains who were still suspicious and hesitant.

This time his goal was his lords, and in his vision, there was only one voice left in the entire Gothic kingdom, all the forces were united around him, and when every soldier and populace marched towards the goal of unifying Scandinavia and establishing a great empire, the rest was only to receive the blessings of the gods.

Not to mention that he married Sigonay, he has already obtained the name of unifying Scandinavia, as the father of Odin blood, to establish this perfect and great country, and for the reason that his son is in charge, he sits on that throne justifiably.

Don't underestimate the power of this name, at least in the land of Scandinavia, this thing of Odin's blood can still influence people's minds, and can make those devout believers give their lives for it.

The area of the Gothic kingdom is very large, occupying almost a quarter of the Scandinavian region, and it is a rich and warm and flat land area near the south, with Lake Wynant as the dividing line, divided into Visigothic and Ostrogothic, and Visigothic can be subdivided into Visigothic, Dahl, Harlan three regions, Ostrogothic is the same, subdivided can be divided into Ostrogothland, Moller, Sauster, There are four districts of Småland, and in the Baltic Sea near Moller, there is a narrow island of Öland, which is also under the jurisdiction of the Ostrogoths.

In other words, Siegel is nominally the king of the entire Gothic kingdom, and has the king of the seven subordinate territories, but in essence, due to the limitations of this era, Siegel can only control the two territories of Småland and Sust, and the lords of the other seven territories are controlled by his relatives, including his brother and his father's brother.

Now the main external feud of the Goths, Barushinger, has disappeared, and the other tribes are also in a state of scattered sand for some interests and past grudges, with a large number of people, but in essence, there is nothing that can threaten the ability of Siegel to unify Scandinavia, so within the Goths, Siegel's enemies began to stand up.

Either because they were jealous that he didn't want him to become the emperor of the Scandinavian Empire, or because of their past grudges, they planned to strike first and kill Siegel with the enemies outside, or some of them thought that they could also become the one who unified Scandinavia, and Siegel's relatives came out against him, either explicitly or covertly, and caused him some trouble.

But no matter what the reason for his relatives is, it is not a reason to oppose him and rebel against him, and as for the blood flowing in his body with a common ancestor, he will not be taken into account, except for the unborn baby in Sigoney's womb who makes him care a little, the other people are no different from the cats and dogs on the side of the road.

Siegel led his army directly to the East Gotland and West Gothland, which were divided in two by Wayentehu, and without any evidence, unilaterally declared his two uncles rebels, and ignored each other's pleas for mercy, and simply sent them to the underworld by hanging.

There was no evidence, no trial, no sacrifice present, the testimony of the gods, Siegel brutally killed his two uncles and took over their land, and I don't know if it was because this incident made him complacent, or because he was overconfident and looked down on his relatives, Siegel did not go directly to the next destination.

Instead, he stayed in Visigotland, repaired a little, replenished some food and water, and left the wounded behind, after which he set out for Dahl and Harlan without stopping.

Dahl and Harlan were the two westernmost territories of the Gothic kingdom, and were the areas with the most frequent battles with Barushinga, so they were also controlled by two of the most skilled warriors of Siegel's relatives, because the unskilled lords died early at the hands of the Barusenge.

Among them, Dahl's lord is the son of Siegel's sister, and he has a very good relationship with Siegel, especially after Siegel successfully married Siegel, the lord's attitude towards Siegel can even be described as pious, and Siegel even feels that as long as he says a word, he can make him give up the territory.

The lord of Harlan is the opposite, his relationship with Siegel can be described as dire, no matter what the situation, as long as Siegel agrees with something, he will inevitably jump out and oppose it, without giving the Goth king a little face.

The lord of Harlan is Siegel's elder brother, originally according to the custom of Scandinavia, this position of the Gothic king should be his, and it will not and should not be Siegel's turn, but because Siegel's elder brother is a powerful berserker, he only knows how to fight, hunt and kill the enemy, and he does not have Siegel's intrigues and weirdness in his heart, so after the death of the previous Goth king, he was sent by Siegel to the forefront of the battle with the Barushinger clan.

One of the purposes was to use his brother's strength to weaken the Gothic kingdom's long-standing enemies, but on the other hand, he also had the intention of asking Barusenger to help him solve this big problem, after all, before marrying Sigonay, his power was not strong enough to ignore the laws and rules, and he still couldn't break the rules that had been circulating in Scandinavia for many years.

But now these things are irrelevant, because of the child in Sigonay's womb, the idea of unifying Scandinavia has been held in his hands, unless the gods themselves appear to stop him, otherwise the entire Scandinavia people will be difficult to stand on their feet in the face of Segal, no matter what reason.

Of course, this brother of Siegel is not smart but also not a stupid person, he is different from the previous two, he is not the first target of Siegel, he has time to react, or should be called rebellion.

When he received the news that his two uncles had been killed by Siegel, his heart was not angry and fearful, but full of excitement, because in his opinion, Siegel's move was simply a rotten stinky chess that could not be worsened, and no matter what kind of righteousness he had, he had a reason to resist.

As long as he kills the thief on the battlefield, he can successfully regain what should have belonged to him, the crown of the Gothic king, and he will not only accept Siegel's wife Siegel, but also fulfill Siegel's long-standing ambition to become the emperor of Scandinavia.

Siegel's brother's strength is undoubtedly legendary, plus his territory is at the forefront of the perennial battle with Barusenge, and people here usually die at the hands of Barusenge, so there is no respect for Odin's bloodline, and even there is an abnormal situation among them that hate their gods.

In this territory, every soldier has crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and the elite who has experienced a hundred battles, and is familiar with the environment of the territory as a defender, he has one hundred and twenty percent confidence that he can fight back and kill this bastard whose hands are stained with the blood of his relatives.

But contrary to what he had expected at the beginning, his army, which hated the Barusenger clan, was defeated by Siegel's army in a dignified battlefield, and was defeated very easily, and was wiped out without even causing the slightest trouble to the other side.

And with his legendary strength, he did not escape from the battlefield, and was united by a group of fifty spellcasters to make a statue with magic petrification, and then put in a carriage by Siegel, which he intended to take back to the Gothic city as a deterrent to the enemy and a show of his own strength.

After that, there was still the island of Erlan left untreated, but the location of that island was the easternmost part of the entire Gothic kingdom, and there were no precious resources on it, and the lord of Erlan also respected Siegel very much, so Siegel just wrote a letter asking the other party to be loyal and ignored it.

He believed that the lord of Erlan, whose brother would see his letter and the news of the battle, would make a wise choice, well, it didn't matter if he didn't make a wise choice, it would take a little more time.

When this goal was accomplished, Siegel had time, and it was a good choice to spend a little time on that island as an after-dinner entertainment, to proclaim his prestige with blood and fear, and to forge a crown with the resentment of his relatives, which was also a rare thing among the royal families.

After dealing with the internal affairs of the Gothic Kingdom, he turned his eyes to foreign countries, the previous battles did not cause much damage to his army, and the only thing that needed to be reprepared was food and water.

He stayed in Harlan for another week to recuperate, and at the same time sent scouts from the army to reconnoiter the next target...... The target he chose was a strong country, and if you compare it in terms of comprehensive national strength, it is only slightly weaker than the former Goths and Barusenge.

But now Siegel had absolute confidence that he would be able to crush them with his army, drive them out of the forest, and kill them without missing a beat...... That's right, you heard it right, this time Siegel's chosen enemy is none other than the one who lives in the forest.

Their name is ...... Genie!
