The Asesir gods in Asgard are watching this battle, and the gods of the indigenous people of the Ural Mountains are also watching this battle, in addition to the ancestral spirits and demigods who are still in the main plane, there are also gods from Olympus, Sumerians, and Canaanites.

Because of the complexity of the composition of the people in the Ural Mountains, countless races from the outside world have moved into this area for various reasons for thousands of years to avoid their enemies from the outside world, and they have brought the beliefs of various gods and goddesses to this land, and with the passage of time and the expansion of the tribe, they have taken root.

This can be said to be the first time that the Baltic Empire has officially entered the eyes of various gods, and their systems, their equipment, their tactics and their culture have made the gods curious.

But it's just curiosity, the main plane is no longer a playground for them to do whatever they want, and their influence on the main plane is slowly decreasing over time.

Maybe in a few hundred years, mortals' deeds to the gods can only be seen in those holy relics and books, because only when they reach the legend and have the ability to step out of the main plane can they really get in touch with the gods.

The wars that took place in this land did not change because of the attention of the gods, and the mature system, targeted tactics, and excellent equipment allowed the Baltics to begin to expand their successes.

The ladders were completely burned, and the number of orcs and gnolls who had climbed the city wall was gradually decreasing, and they were pushed to the edge of the city wall by the half-giants with shields step by step, and then fell from the city wall.

Ogres and trolls who had not yet reached the dead end below the walls were attacked wildly by the bed crossbows, but because they had already cast the magic of [Bear Tenacity], they were still able to move forward with a full body of arrows, but the speed had slowed down a lot.

However, the sky was calm today, and neither the indigenous side of the Ural Mountains nor the Baltics had sent their air forces into action, because previous battles had proven that the air forces of both sides would fight each other and would not win or lose in a short time.

"Goliath. ”

Levi reminded.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer, wait a little longer. ”

Gloria shook her head, unlike what many people had imagined, she was now keeping her composure, letting the army rush to attack, or rather, everything was in her plan, including the disadvantages that were present.

"The lizardmen, on their part, are already trying to retreat. ”

A herald came to Golia's side and said loudly.

The bow and arrow battles between the lizardmen and the Baltics have always been at a disadvantage, and this has been the case for several days in a row, and those cunning lizardmen will not just die for Golia, and they will definitely give priority to preserving their strength in the event of a bad battle.

In addition, now that they have asked for a retreat, Golia can't say anything, she can only agree, because many of them have lost the ability to continue fighting in the battle between the lizardmen and the Baltics.

Gloria glanced at the herald and nodded in understanding.

She needed to think about whether it would be necessary to continue the attack and continue the battle today if the lizardmen were out of the fight, and the Baltic archers would be free to clear out the orcs and gnolls.

Or is this the end of today's offensive, it is time to blow the horn of retreat, put the next battle until tomorrow, and retain more living forces.

After all, what Golia plans to learn is the protracted war tactics used by the Scandinavians to deal with the attack of the Atila Empire, since it is a protracted war, then in the case of gaining absolute superiority, you should not suppress all the chips in your hand, and before that, step by step, little by little, weaken the enemy's strength.

In the vicinity of the harbor, the originally barren land has been planted with a large number of greenery by the industrious rhinoceros people, and a large number of birds are in this area, and the droppings they produce also make these plants grow more lushly.

Originally, the tents made of simple wood, bamboo, and animal skins in the vicinity were all places for slaves to live, and the winters were cold and the summers were dull, but even in this environment, the slaves felt very happy, because they could survive and have the hope and possibility to change the situation at this time.

But now these modest tents have been reduced to houses made of wood, and the style of the houses is still Alice's favorite tube building, which can save space as much as possible and crammed more people.

In terms of food, the shadow of meat and seafood can already appear in the rice bowls of these slaves, on the one hand, because the agriculture and animal husbandry of the Baltic Empire have adopted an industrial model, the output has increased a lot, and the price has reached a very low level, on the other hand, the concept of merchants and slave owners has changed, only living slaves can create wealth, and strong slaves can create more wealth.

Although the empire has issued a series of related policies on slaves, so that they only need to integrate into the empire peacefully and steadily through efforts to get rid of the status of slaves, but in essence, even if they really change the status of slaves, it is difficult for them to change their status in the Baltic Empire, and they can only engage in some low-cost jobs without any technical content.

It is difficult for them to accept the new ideas of the Baltic Empire, the years of hard life have made their health extremely bad, their reactions have become sluggish, many people cannot even speak the lingua franca, do not know the common language, there are great barriers to communication, and they are not very well adapted to a multi-ethnic country like the Baltic Empire, it is difficult for them to imagine that they will one day be able to live in friendship with those races who once regarded them as food, or were treated as food by them, under the imperial legal system.

For all this, many of them have not been able to adapt well, to get rid of the current bad situation, and to usher in a not so bad situation, so they can only hope for their children, their future, and hope that their children can grow up healthy in this country, which is the main reason why so many of them want to get rid of slavery, not for themselves, but for their descendants.

The slaves of the Baltic Empire are the envy of other countries, so when the soldiers of other countries collapse, they are often willing to surrender directly to the Baltic Empire, because they live better as slaves in the Baltic Empire than as citizens in other public families, and they will try their best to bring their families to live in the empire after they obtain the status of free citizens in the Baltic Empire.

The legal system of the Empire allowed such immigrants for a fee, and with their own security, after a period of observation, to ensure that they were no longer dangerous to the Empire, and that their families could obtain the status of freedmen.

If there were some of the best people among these slaves, or who could make outstanding contributions to the empire, they were given additional rewards, such as giving them beautiful houses, enrolling their children in better schools, and arranging excellent teachers.

Such a system guarantees a step-by-step progression from slaves to freemen, from freemen to citizens, and of course there is a corresponding punishment from citizens to freedmen to slaves to expulsion and killing.

No matter what class of people they are, as long as they are still in the system of the Baltic Empire, they must abide by and maintain the laws and institutions of the Empire, whether they understand it or not, whether they know it or not, they must follow it compulsorily, and there is no room for refutation.

In the past few years, a large number of new people and a large number of foreign populations have not been able to fill the population gap in the Baltic Empire, in Finland, Karelia and Rus' regions, there are still vast and sparsely populated areas, and the land is unexplored.

Even in a country like the Baltic Empire, its development, operation, and maintenance require labor to support, especially now that the Northland has not fully agreed, the role of population is even more obvious.

It can be said that in order to solve the problem of population, the empire has thought of many solutions, the previously mentioned policy on slaves is one of them, and this targeted war against the natives of the Ural Mountains is the second.

While the war on the front line was in full swing, the slaves in this harbor were also working hard, unloading the goods on the ships to the docks, and transporting all kinds of supplies to the ships.

The large number of ships in the area was not at all obvious that there was any sign of war going on at the front, the merchants were still trading, and the sailors were busy with their work.

This is a stable country, but it is not a country suitable for adventurers, because it is too stable, so there are not many speculative opportunities in this country to make them rich overnight.

Of course, if they are willing to take on those missions from the Empire, serve the Empire, or find something unusual and good in the wild, they can also get a lot of rewards from the Empire.

Such a model allows the empire to easily mobilize a large number of adventurers who have not joined the empire, and implicitly exploit these adventurers by holding pricing power.

However, this is only a small head, and the real big head is still trading with those remote tribes, no matter how good the adventurers are, they still can't compare to those tribes that have lived for many years.

It can be said that the hidden exploitation of scissors has been thoroughly implemented in all aspects of the empire, exploiting the people outside the empire all the time and delivering nutrients to the empire.

In the long run, the power of the empire will become stronger and stronger, and the power of other tribes and nations will become weaker and weaker, and they will not feel their weakness, but they will complacently count the gold coins in the warehouse.

Thanks to the Empire's propaganda and education, as well as the fair and fair implementation of strict laws, the situation tended to stabilize even in the Rus' region, where a large number of troops were sent to the battlefield.

Such a stable and peaceful environment attracted not only those refugees, but also the believers of other gods, and their ideas were very simple, as long as the king of this empire could believe in their gods, then this empire would definitely become the power of that god.

One of them was the mother of Semiramis, whose sacrifice had always been in this vein, and wanted Semiramis to help in this regard.

Needless to say, some other gods, except for the Aesir Protoss, who originally had great power in the Northland, and the Celtic Protoss, who were at war, the other gods tried their best to infiltrate it.

Among them is the Nile god lineage, which has temporarily ceased warfare, and the Tutankhamian pharaoh who had a relationship with Alice in the Assyrian Empire also came to the Baltic Empire.

She came with a mission given to her by the god of Ah Meng, to find the sinner who had violated the bottom line of the gods as mentioned in the oracle, and with her power that had surpassed the limits of the main plane, no matter who the enemy was, she had the confidence to fight and win.

In addition to this, she also shoulders the task of observing this empire well, the Baltic Empire is far away from Egypt, and there is basically no conflict of interest, if such a commercially developed country can be co-opted, it is very beneficial for Egypt, after all, the pharaoh she represents is still preparing, accumulating the strength in his hands, and fighting war with the pharaohs of the Apophis system.

Not only Tutanka Meng, but also a male demigod from the Olympus god system, perhaps because they thought that the rulers of the Baltic Empire were all women, and that sending male demigods over could gain the power of this empire without paying any price by virtue of their charm.

As soon as these people entered the Baltic Empire, they were already discovered by the intelligence services within the Empire, and sent the relevant information to Semiramis.

In this regard, Semiramis also felt a headache, because there are gods standing behind them, and it will not work to directly use strong means, even if the gods cannot directly intervene in the main plane now, but offending those powerful gods for no reason is definitely not a wise choice.

However, it was clear that she would not allow the gods to spread their faith within the Empire, as that was essentially a thwart of Alice's goal, and it was absolutely not allowed.

Therefore, Brünnhilde's faith was widely spread by the empire, and it was necessary to curb the invasion of other gods, and to gain the support of the Asgardian gods.

Anyway, Brunhilde's stuff is Alice's, and the two of them have been inseparable from each other for a long time.
