The Baltic forces, which were lying in ambush under the thick ice, withdrew, and their numbers were not large, only a few hundred, and their appearance here was only looking for a possibility.

In case Attila was careless, in case they didn't think of the possibility of the ice breaking, then this little trap was enough to inflict heavy damage on Attila's army.

Unfortunately, even though the Attila were victorious, and their army was much larger and more powerful than the Scandinavian Empire, they remained cautious.

The wyverns, dragons, and thunderbirds in the sky who could see their surroundings clearly in the dark night made it impossible for the Harpy forces to get close by the moonlight, no matter what equipment they were on, no matter how agile their speed was, when facing creatures like dragons, their actions did not make much sense, and would only increase casualties.

The situation under the ice was different, with the ice blocking, it was impossible for Attila's army to detect those hidden in the ice, but when Attila did not choose to march at night, they could not be useful.

At nights, which are much colder than the day, the sea will freeze faster, and they will work hard for a day to thin the ice, and at night it will be back to its original state in a few dozen minutes.

Therefore, it is meaningless for them to continue to stay there, in the sea at night, close to the sea ice, these sea tribes actually have no way to endure such a cold environment, although in the sea, it is much warmer than on land, the air is much warmer, but this does not mean that it is not cold, it does not mean that the body of the sea tribe can be immune to such cold.

Especially in the sea, the sea tribes have no way to put clothes on their bodies to keep warm, they can't use flames to keep warm, they can't use their houses to block the invasion of the cold, and they can only rely on the most primitive, skin and fat to keep their bodies a certain amount of heat.

None of Attila's army felt a danger of leaving, and they didn't know that under the ice, Semiramis had a surprise in store for them.

The night was very quiet, and the dragon that was on guard in the sky also stopped, not because they wanted to stop, but because they didn't dare to make a loud noise, because Attila had to sleep at night, and they didn't want to disturb Attila's sleep, nor did they want to appreciate how unreasonable a sleep-deprived woman was.

That's not something that can be simply exposed by being beaten, with Attila's character, she will only be expressionless, without saying a word, to give the guy who is noisy until she sleeps, a light cannon that can destroy the entire forest, a rainbow-colored light cannon.

This is really not speculation, but the death of a black dragon who has grown up and has legendary strength has made all the Attila army understand and understand deeply, don't provoke Atira, don't do things that Attila doesn't like.

No matter how much Atila's personality and behavior look like a girl, but she really doesn't treat her as a girl, and thinks that she doesn't have the strange temper of a girl, although most of the time, she really doesn't have those things on her body, and she can't see those things.

On this night, all those who were able to rest slept very deeply, not because the environment had put them into a deep sleep, but because before the battle, they had to use sleep to replenish the energy and physical strength they had lost during the day, so as to prepare for the battle that would come tomorrow.

This is something that a qualified soldier must know and be able to do, and those who fail to do it, dragging their tired bodies and unresponsive spirits, mostly leave their lives on the battlefield.

When fighting with the enemy, a mistake or a trance will lead to the enemy's life being taken, especially in the chaotic white-knuckle battle, where you may be attacked from front to back and left at any time.

The night passed quickly, and before you knew it, the sky was beginning to glow, and the cooks in the army had begun to take food from the ox carts and horse-drawn carts and light the campfires to cook it.

In such cold weather, the best breakfast is a pot of fragrant broth, a soup made from air-dried meat, which has a lot of salt in it, and can give the warriors' bodies strength.

The coachmen have also gotten up, and they are preparing food for the animals that pull the carts, such as the cows and horses, and patting them with their hands to soothe their muscles, warm their bodies, and prevent their bodies from being overwhelmed by a period of vigorous exercise.

I have to say that these cattle and horses from the Ross steppe are much better than other cattle and horses in terms of physical strength and strength, and they are not too picky about food, even the dried forage will not cause them stomach discomfort.

Unlike the delicate horses from the south, they must drink pure spring water, and eat better than ordinary humans, at least the food used to fill their stomachs, they can't afford it.

When the coachmen had arranged for the cattle and horses, and when the cooks had brought out the food, the warriors came out of their tents in twos and threes, and their lives were very regular, and they only slept when they were injured, because they needed a lot of sleep to recover at that time, and they would open their eyes whenever the sun appeared.

Breakfast, they eat quickly, because when fighting, all of them will seize every minute of their time, and will not waste time on such meaningless situations as eating, not getting used to it is one thing, and more importantly, on the battlefield that they have long been accustomed to, the enemy will not give them too much time to waste on eating.

I have to say that the soldiers gathered here are all experienced fighters, they have at least experienced one war, and they are all people who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, so there will be no situation like a recruit, and they will not commit some stupid things that will cost their lives and damage the interests of the entire army.

Especially the latter, as long as someone dares to do this, other people will not care whether you mean it or not, and they will only use the simplest method to cut off your head from your neck to solve these problems.

This often happens in an army full of new recruits, which is why some armies with mixed recruits and veterans not only do not improve their combat effectiveness, but are also full of all kinds of contradictions.

Perhaps these contradictions will be resolved after a battle, when the recruits understand the plight of the veterans, and when the daring recruits die or become veterans, but before that, the conflicts that arise from time to time in the barracks will also become a headache for every commander.

The target of the Atila army was to the west, across the Baltic Sea, to the city of the Yaats, and to the main city, Uppran.

Although there was some damage to the flames and explosions, and the walls needed to be repaired because of the previous battle, when Siegmund began to train his army and Siegel decided to fight a battle, the entire Scandinavian Empire was relocated to some of Upplan.

Don't underestimate this so-called point, don't think that there is not much, when these points are measured in the country, these points of materials are also unimaginable and difficult to estimate by ordinary people.

The reason why the city of Upland was the reason why they abandoned the initial plan to conduct field warfare, gave up some preparations, and pressed the treasure on these lands of the Yeats, was because of the message of the Baltic Empire.

That's right, the source of the information is the Baltic Empire, and of course Semiramis can't directly send an envoy to confront Siegel and tell him about Atila, because in that case, Siegel's character will not directly choose to believe it.

Semiramis had the Assassins in Attila's army arrange a wave of scripts that looked like this, allowing a centaur who was scouting outside to fall into the hands of the Scandinavians, and through brain modification, memory tampering, physical suggestion, etc., the information he wanted to know to the Scandinavians was transmitted to the centaur's mind.

When the centaur was captured, the Assassin lurking among the Scandinavians would appear and use some special means to hypnotize the centaur, pry his mouth open, and obtain the messages that Semiramis wanted to convey to the Scandinavians.

This is the best of both worlds, on the one hand, it allows the information to successfully fall into the hands of the Scandinavians without causing them to be alarmed by Siegel, and on the other hand, it can also improve the status of the Assassin who has made the credit for obtaining such useful information for the Scandinavians.

For subordinates who show value and make contributions, Siegel will never be stingy with rewards, money, treasures, status or other things, as long as you can show value and bring benefits to him, he can pay.

Tens of thousands of people were working on the city of Upplan, and within a few days they had repaired the walls of Upland, and not only that, but they also placed a terrible number of defensive equipment on the side of the walls of Upland facing the sea.

Moreover, on the ground, using techniques learned from the Baltics, they have created a number of traps, including the Trap Pit, which has been proven to be effective against an enemy as fast as the Centaurs.

Trapping the Horse Pit, a powerful berserker can make one with a single punch to the ground, and with a little effort, and a little time and effort, they have managed to fill the land outside the city with these things.

They believed that with these things, at least in the last big battle, it would be impossible for the enemy to charge with corpses again, and it would be impossible to rush to the city wall in a wave and directly enter the stage of white-knuckle combat.

Especially now that it's winter, and these traps are hidden under a thick layer of snow, centaurs and gnolls simply have no way to use their eyes to find these traps, and it is impossible to avoid them while running and charging at high speed.

The centaurs and gnolls of the Attila army, the two stormtroopers who attacked and were the main battle force in large numbers, will leave a deep memory in the face of these traps.

Just like in the last battle, they still haven't been able to look at the defensive equipment made by the dwarves calmly, those are as destructive as the caster's magic, but the durability and cost are better than the caster's magic.

Although they knew that this time in the face of the more powerful Scandinavians who had been transformed from a loose alliance into an empire, there would be more and better quality defensive equipment, and they would have more people die on these weapons, but knowing that it was one thing, they still had no way to deal with these things.

It would be too stupid and naïve to rely on human power to fight these devices, especially when their strength has not yet reached the legendary level.

If they could, the Scandinavians would like to get some man-eating fish in the moat, such as the piranha that Alice always likes to keep in the moat, the crocodile from Egypt, and other things.

However, in such a cold winter, the moat has frozen, and there is still a thick layer of snow on it, no matter what is cultivated in it, it is impossible to be effective in a defensive battle.

Even in battle, the ice is of little use, the cold wind will quickly freeze the surface of the water and return to its original state, and the corpses of those who die on the walls will fill the moat.

Both the Attera and the Scandinavians are making their final preparations for war, the former expecting a brutal battle, an epic victory, and the latter, who are fighting for their homeland, for their gods.

This land, where their relatives live, is the place where they live, the land where their gods favor, they can temporarily fail, they can give up something for the ultimate victory.

However, if they can, they will never skimp on their lives, and fight back against the enemy's invasion with blood and weapons, even if they do not see any hope of victory, they are willing to try, and they will choose to try.

Siegel's attempt was, to a certain extent, a blockade with a low chance of winning, but on the other hand, he also gained something unexpected, and the recognition of the entire Scandinavians, whether they were the Goths who originally belonged to him or the other races that had recently joined the empire, was rapidly increasing.

Although there is still a certain gap with the former Beowulf, although because of what he did before, he can't completely make everyone choose to forgive, but according to this trend, he is not far from the status of real recognition and willingness to believe.
