Chapter 449: Baltic Empire (13) Two Battlefields
The rhinoceros men of the First Legion were reluctant to leave the battlefield, they could not, they did not dare, and they did not want to disobey Alice's orders, even if they would rather die in battle with the giant.
Alice glanced at it, looked at the unwillingness hidden in the eyes of the rhinoceros people, and twisted her mouth, happy but worried.
It is indeed a good thing for every ruler to have his army brave to the death, dare to fight to the end, and shed the last drop of blood, but for Alice, if these rhinoceros people are like the Scandinavians, they only see the battle in their eyes and lose their wisdom, and throw away some tangible benefits because of the so-called honor, it is really a bit more than worth the loss.
No matter how unwilling he was, the rhinoceros man obediently obeyed Alice's orders, no, for the rhinoceros man, what Alice said was not just an order that must be obeyed, but also a belief that must be carried out to the end.
The legendary demigod stopped his progress, not paying attention to the retreating rhinos, but focusing on the air above their heads.
Not only the legendary demigod who burst into the barracks, but also his three brothers in the back stopped moving, and the Sealand people in the back also stopped making noise, holding their breath as much as possible, and unconsciously lowered their heads.
Whether it was a child of God or an ordinary Sealander, when the black girl appeared in their sight, the frequency of the heartbeat began to decrease, the speed of blood flow slowed down, and the cold sweat on the forehead appeared one by one.
It's like when you have a cold, you don't eat, you don't want to go to sleep, you stay up for several days and nights in a row, your brain is numb, you just get up and you fall down, and then you don't have the feeling of breathing.
In the eyes of the Sealand people, she obviously looks like a very ordinary girl, maybe there is a little weirdness in her dress, and the appearance of black clothes, black hair and black eyes will not appear even in the mouth of the bard.
What they brought them was an indescribable sense of weirdness, not as vicious as a dragon, not as cruel as a winter wolf, or as tyrannical as a white bear, but yet it gave people a feeling that was more terrible than all the beasts.
"That'...... Is it the girl who brought calamity?"
"That mighty vampire giant died at her hands?"
She is also said to have defeated Attila, who was no match for Beowulf. β
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looking up at the darkness that seemed to cover the sky, the Sealand people could not suppress the fear in their hearts, and took a step back in unison.
The Sealand themselves didn't know what they were afraid of, whether it was the legendary power that could easily slay dragons, or the terrifying curse-like ability that would appear wherever they went, and even they didn't know that the emotion they were having now was actually called fear.
For the Scandinavian Sealands, whether it is the former or the latter, it should not be summed up in the category of fear, or the situation should be the opposite, when facing a strong enemy, under normal circumstances, the Scandinavians will be irrepressibly excited, just like in the forest against strong people such as winter wolves, brown bears, and white dragons, their first reaction is to find a way to complete a brilliant hunt.
However, unlike ordinary Sealand people, the four sons of God had experienced such a situation, the indescribable, unexplained fear, the fear that had been felt in Corondo, the fear that even the children of God were immune, the fear of refusing to remember.
Alice...... Lord Jutland, it seems that Corondo did die at your hands, and the rumors of the bards are rare and accurate. β
This is the fear divinity that Alice took from him after killing Corondo, and after this period of research, she has been able to completely turn this divinity into a power that belongs only to her, and has also made a certain connection with the death divinity that she has condensed.
As long as all three conditions are met, the magic that she named the Ring of Fear, which is fixed on Alice's body, will work on her enemies, no matter who they are, they are immune.
The three conditions are:
1. Visually look at the caster, that is, use the eyes and other sensing organs to look at Alice's figure.
2. There is still a fear of death, and the fear of entering the dead world of death.
3. Weaker than the caster, or lower than Alice in level.
Unfortunately, the crowd present, from the Sealand to the four sons of the gods, had all met these three conditions, and if it weren't for their mental maturity and determination, the moment the girl appeared, they would have thrown down their weapons and fled, just like the vampires who once fought the bone giants, but fled in all directions out of fear.
The firmness of the will does not completely free them from the shackles of fear, as long as those three conditions are still met, fear lingers near their hearts, waiting for the moment when their hearts are exposed.
Gone of the rhinoceros attack, the two defensive giants lowered their shields, and the three of them walked to the barracks, standing side by side with their brother.
"Jutlanders, what do you want to do here?"
"This is the domain of the Aesir gods, the goddess GaufΓ¨in. β
"You invaders are not welcome. β
One by one, the four giants asked the girl in front of them with solemn faces, if they could, they didn't want to fight with this girl, even if there were four of them, occupying the advantage in numbers, and the other party had only one, and it was still a human girl who looked weak.
"It seems that the son of the goddess Gio Fein is no more than that, and at this time he is still saying these meaningless words. β
Alice shook her head with a smile, the words of the four giants in front of her looked so ridiculous, so cruel and timid, not to mention a strong man like Beowulf, even Zigmund who did not suffer bad luck could not compare.
If it were them, they would not hesitate to draw their weapons and attack the enemy when faced with an irreparable situation, using their swords to open up a way forward.
"Moreover, I need to correct one of your mistakes, that the owner of this land is not you. β
"Or have you forgotten where this land came from, and who it was supposed to belong to before it was called Sealand?"
Alice held out an index finger and shook it at the giants, with a slight smile on her face.
"The island of Zealand, the territory of the Yaats, is just a bunch of swindlers who have deceived the king and deceives him with conspiracies. β
"No, that's ......"
The giants tried to retort, but Alice waved her hand to interrupt them, and she continued in a higher voice.
"The goddess Geofein transformed into a witch and bewitched the king of the Yaats, and that was the cause of the matter, and the poor king did not know that he was about to face the foolery of a god. β
"Thinking about the king who devoutly believed in the gods of Aesir, he was so pitiful, he thought that he could reap a true love by giving his feelings and promises, but he did not expect it to be a ridiculous prank of the gods, and he lost not only a piece of land, but also his feelings, his trust. β
If the matter of the goddess Gerofain and the king is judged from the perspective of a third person, there is indeed nothing wrong with Alice's description of it.
"The Yeats, now that they have joined my Baltic Empire and have become a part of the Baltic Empire, it seems that there is no problem in recovering the territories they have occupied for many years, right?"
The reason why this old incident is mentioned here is to eliminate the identity of herself and the others as invaders, and to occupy the righteousness to gag the mouth of the goddess Geofyne, so that she cannot use the word aggression to describe the conquest of Zealand by the Jutlanders.
"Oh? It seems that the verbal negotiation has failed? It seems that you guys prefer to communicate with your fists rather than at the negotiating table? Winner, get everything? It's not in line with my values, but sometimes it's pretty good. β
"The victor gains everything, the loser loses everything, and in the presence of Her Highness the Valkyrie Valkyrie Brunhilde, the Jeats will wash away the shame of being deceived and reclaim their homeland that has been occupied for many years. β
Of course, after retaking this homeland, it is not up to the people of Jeat to decide what to do with it and who to let live here.
As she spoke, Alice turned her body slightly sideways, dodging the oncoming attack, raising her two beautiful eyebrows, controlling her body to quickly rise up.
Whoosh whoosh
Four battle axes passed Alice's side, the frantic wind rattling her clothes and causing the last of Alice's smiles to disappear into her eyes as empty as the night sky.
Not even needing a look, the four giants, who had never been separated from each other since birth, naturally understood what their brothers meant, and they faced Alice, holding an iron shield in one hand to their chests, and the other hand continued to take out the weapons they were throwing from the storage bag at their waists.
As the most central island in the Baltic Sea, the fertile land and the abundant resources around it made the life of the giants very comfortable, and the occasional whim to attack and plunder other tribes, and trade with merchants, also made their royal palaces accumulate a lot of wealth.
Of course, for those who live in the north, only the things that can enhance their combat effectiveness and make them victorious are the most valuable treasures, such as the iron shield made of cyclops on all four sides, or the space bag that the giants now hang around their waists and store a large number of weapons.
The double-edged axe, which was originally in the hands of the Sealand and could be used as a weapon, was directly transformed into a throwing axe, a long-range weapon used for throwing, in the hands of giants.
The sound of the wind came to her ears, and countless throwing axes turned into torrents and struck Alice, the speed of which was extremely fast, a point faster than Alice's flying speed, so that she had to use defensive magic to resist.
"Don't be like a little mouse, hiding around. β
"Is that how you killed Corondo? β
The giants want to provoke Alice with words, but they have lived on Zealand for a long time and don't communicate much with humans, so their words are very barren, and they come and go just a few simple words.
"Do you have the ability to hit me? The son of the god of the goddess Geou Feyne, is he only capable of playing kung fu with his mouth?"
Alice smiled and continued to move in the air, using her magic to shoot down undodgable attacks, strolling around as if she were enjoying afternoon tea.
The giants didn't dare to continue to speak this time, they felt that continuing to argue would only make them more angry.
If the giants have little to do with Alice flying in the sky, and can only hope for the good luck of the axe, then Alice, who behaves so easily on the other side, on the contrary, as a spellcaster, she can become her home field no matter what environment she is in.
However, now she is not in a hurry, she needs to observe the performance of those rhino people, the previous investigation of rhino people can only be regarded as a part, there are bigger, more brutal white-knuckle battles waiting for them.
For a legion, only the most brutal combat methods such as white-knuckle combat can test the success of the legion, and only after experiencing the situation where there are enemies on all sides, they will die at any time, and their companions die every second, can they transform into a real veteran.
A warrior who fights only on defense, on tactics, on weapons, no matter how many enemies they kill, no matter how brilliant their victories, will only be a warrior, not a veteran.
Now, this place was supposed to be an outpost, but now it has become a decisive battle, and there is no supernatural power to interfere, and Alice and the four giants are already in another more high-end battlefield.
The rest are fought between rhino people who have been trained but have not experienced formal combat, and Sealand people who have not been trained or experienced formal combat, but are strong individually.
The rhinoceros were now in the open space outside the city walls, full of pits, and had left the camp and lined up in good form to await the enemy's attack when the Sealand were frightened by Alice's presence.
Although the battle changed from a purely defensive battle to an encounter battle because of Alice's orders, it was not a big deal for the rhinoceros people, and it didn't matter how cruel the white-knuckle battle was, they only needed to win the final victory.
"Keep in formation, don't rush, don't mess around, follow the training. β
Dressed in heavy iron armor, the commander of the First Legion, the Rhino Man, methodically integrated the army in his hand, and asked them to stand in a circle one meter apart from each other in the same way as they had done in the previous confrontation training.
These rhinoceros men were hoplites, wearing heavy armor, holding a round shield about one meter in diameter in one hand, and a spear with a length of two meters in the other, and all the equipment was made of fine iron.
They formed a dense and neat phalanx side by side, the first row of the phalanx, crouched down, with round shields on their chests, spears poking out of the gaps in the shields, and the second row half-crouched, with spears on the shoulders of the first, and the third row.
This is the secret weapon that Alice has unearthed from several "XX: Total War" that she has played, and after a long period of training, the First Legion has finally mastered the secret weapon, and the poor Sealand people have become their first wave of experimental subjects.
