Chapter 537: Street Fighting (2)

"How's it going?"

"How's it going to be today?"

"Dragon, kill another dragon, well done. ”

"It seems that our plan has succeeded, abandoning the walls that are impossible to defend at all, and instead using the familiar terrain to engage in street fighting. ”

All kinds of noisy sounds echo in this small space, and staying here gives the impression of countless ducks croaking in their ears, making it difficult to hear what the mouths of the people around them are saying and conveying.

This is the command center of the Scandinavians in Upplan, and in this small basement, the top of the Scandinavian army will make plans for the battle against the Attellan army, organize the army, where to attack, where to defend, where to retreat, and where to abandon for strategic purposes.

There are so many things to be seen in this small basement that it is difficult for anyone who sees this scene to associate such rugged Scandinavians with these people who are making battle plans and using all kinds of data to make statistics.

This was not the change brought about by Siegmund but by the Goths, or more precisely, by Siegel, the emperor who believed in Loki and accomplished unprecedented feats in Scandinavia, and who was more accustomed to crushing his enemies with his wits than tearing them apart with his hands like Beowulf.

It has also been proven that Beowulf's time has passed, not just to say that the Yeats were defeated by the Goths, but to face the same enemy, the difference between the Scandinavian coalition led by Beowulf and the current Scandinavian army.

It is inevitable that the city wall will be breached, but after it is broken, how to reduce losses, recover disadvantages, and even seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory is not something that can be done by pure brute force.

Using wisdom, tactics, and planning to find opportunities for victory, to achieve strategic goals, and to win for the army behind became something that Zigmund needed to consider.

Of course, such a complicated thing, even if Siegmund wanted to do it, because of his ability, it would only make things a mess, and even worse than the original situation.

So, give what you are not familiar with to someone who is familiar with it, let someone with experience make a plan, he only needs to do the overall situation, do a good job of adjusting the direction of the ship's sailing, and let the rest of the things be done by Siegel's people, and the facts have proved that they are doing quite well now, and they can't find anything wrong at all, which can be blamed.

This place is hidden in the underground waterways of Upplan, and they use the complex underground waterways to create a network of orders that can be transmitted to the troops deployed in various places.

Thanks to the strength of the Yaats at the beginning, this underground waterway was built very strongly, and it was also very hidden, and the whole thing was made of solid stones, and it was built very complicated, unless you have a memorability or a map in your hand, otherwise you will get lost in such an environment.

Originally, there were some monsters specially stocked by the Yeats, such as slimes, and some naturally formed undead creatures roamed here.

After the Goths captured Upland, some of the Yaats took refuge in it, avoiding the explosion and fire, and then they went to the Baltic Empire and abandoned it.

After that, it was the time for the Atila army to go west, and during the time of preparation in Upplan, Siegmund arranged for people to be here to clean up the monsters and undead.

Then, traps were laid here, the labyrinth was renovated, and piranhas were stocked into the underground waterways, which were kept out from the cold above, and the underground river was still flowing normally.

Well, although it's a little smelly and a little dirty, piranhas themselves are not a picky race, and it is possible to live in such an environment, and when the enemy comes here, they will find that this is full of piranhas, and if you are not careful, you will die, which is really annoying.

Therefore, it became very natural that this place became the headquarters of the Scandinavians after the breached walls, and only in a safe place could they command with peace of mind without being distracted by other things.

"Has the aid of the Baltic Empire arrived? Have they arranged for the weapons, ammunition, and magic materials they promised us? And what about the food? Did they bring the food and medicine we need?"

In the middle of the house, Prince Siegmund of Balussenge, the current commander of Upplan, was asking the heralds around him, who had not closed his eyes for a long time since the city was broken, and his eyes were full of frightening red threads.

Now his image is far from the handsome and handsome prince with a little childishness before, if it is not a familiar person, it is difficult to associate the man in front of him with the previous prince.

"Arrived, arrived, our people took out everything the Baltic had provided at the outfall, and it was very well packaged. ”

It was the same young herald, and he walked up to Zygmund's side and spoke loudly.

No way, in such a noisy and chaotic environment, if you don't speak loudly, you won't be able to hear what you say clearly.

Originally, Zygmund and Alice agreed that the place where the aid trade would be carried out was to be placed by the sea, but because the walls of Upland had been breached, and because the sky had been occupied by Attila's flying forces, Siegmund had to choose another place as the location of the trade.

He soon discovered that the estuaries of the underground waterways, along with the Baltic Sea, were the best protection for the two sides in the trade, and the secrecy of the agreement was greatly improved.

"The quality of the aid provided by the Baltic Empire is good, even the food and medicine are fresh, with these things, the combat effectiveness and morale of our soldiers can be greatly improved. ”

With an unconcealable smile on the herald's face, the support of the Baltic Empire and the availability of sufficient logistics were exciting news for all Scandinavians at a time when the enemy had breached the walls and had to engage in street fighting.

After the walls were breached, the war entered the next stage, and the most brutal stage, fighting the enemy in a ruined city that had not been repaired by the war.

However, fortunately, it is full of ruins, and the obstruction of the blizzard has made every house that has not collapsed, and every block that has been cut off, has become something that the Scandinavians can use and consume the lives of the Attila.

Close combat, using their familiarity with the terrain, allowed the Scandinavians to attack the enemy from all directions, and even the foul-smelling underground tunnel lids could suddenly shoot a cold arrow that would take the lives of the Atila.

Confident, they thought that the city that had been reduced to ruins could make it possible for them to take out the enemy in order to seize the attack on the city in exchange for the fulfillment of the promise of famine.

However, the gnolls found that such things could not be done by faith alone, and as time went on, all sorts of smells began to appear in the air.

The smell of burnt and bloody burns of inadequate burning of objects, as well as the smell of decay emitted by corpses that were undisposed of, filled the tip of their noses, and in such an environment where these smells were everywhere, the gnolls' proud sense of smell did not increase their combat effectiveness, but affected several other senses.

A month, two months, or longer?

The gnolls didn't know about such a fight, such an early departure and late return, and every night they would find a few familiar faces in the team disappearing, and they didn't know how long it would last.

However, the only thing they knew for sure was that the war would be more and more unfavorable for the Attilas, and that everything else was to be said, and that the food that was distributed every day had changed from a broth with a little fat to a clear soup with only a slight taste.

With such food and nutrition, there is simply no way to sustain the consumption of front-line fighters, and dragging a tired, hungry, and weak body to fight is tantamount to teaching the enemy's life in the hands of the enemy.

Thankfully, the main force used in street fighting by the Atila army is the Gnolls, who can eat the gnolls as food, whether they are freshly dead corpses, charred pieces of meat, or raw meat that has rotted to a certain extent.

And in such a battlefield, everything may be missing, but corpses are the most unlikely to be missing, and they are increasing all the time.

The dragon patrolled the sky, taking the Thunderbird and the Wyvern on patrol, because of physical strength, they couldn't go on patrol twenty-four hours a day, so let the Wyvern and Wyvern assist, even if they knew that with the power of the Thunderbird and the Wyvern, they couldn't suppress the Scandinavians, there was no other better way.

There is no way, after all, this is the former capital of the Yaats, the largest and most prosperous city in Scandinavia, the area is very large, and it is still too difficult to complete the suppression of all the ground with these dragons.

However, if you take turns, there is another problem, that is, there are only so many dragons, and there is no way for them to take turns.

As a last resort, the Wyvern and the Thunderbird joined the patrol queue, taking the place of the dragon to suppress the enemies on the ground while the dragon was resting.

The Atila army is very full of ideas, but the reality is very skinny, and it is true that the flying dragons and thunderbirds have a flight advantage, but this is not enough, not to mention suppressing the ground, they have become the target of Scandinavian hunting.

Not to mention the bed crossbows that were set up and transferred once the attack was carried out, even the elves could easily shoot them down by relying on those magical arrows with magic in their hands.

It doesn't take much effort, just shoot these arrows into the eyes, hearts, necks, and wings of the wyvern and ptarmigan, and even if they don't kill them directly, the injured wyvern and ptarmigan will fall from the sky to the ground, turning into a puddle of usable meat sauce.

Although it is said that there are logistical supplies from the Baltic Sea, the Scandinavians will still collect the food that can be obtained and the materials that can be collected.

Scandinavians don't want to be in a hurry like jackals, they can eat the corpses of their companions, rotting pieces of meat, they can eat them as if they had nothing to do, Scandinavians don't have such a strong digestive system, they need to collect these edible things before they rot.

After all, there is also a knight called Famine among the knights on the opposite side, his power is to create famine, as his enemy, the most important thing to pay attention to is to store enough food to deal with it.

Don't think that in such a cold environment, these corpses are not easy to decay, under the shroud of the plague power, those corpses in the city of Uppland decay very quickly, as if they were shining under the scorching summer sun, and it doesn't take long to turn into disgusting rotten things.

No one dared to eat or touch those things, and with the power of the plague, these things would soon become the source of the spread of the plague, and the Scandinavians, as enemies of the plague, could not get the friendly treatment of the gnolls.

They knew what terrible things could happen to the city with the bodies that had not been burned, the corpses that had begun to decompose, and they knew that the plague had begun to spread in places that no one knew, and perhaps the signs of the plague had already appeared in the warriors who were fighting alive.

Magic and medicine, the best things to deal with the plague are the only two things, but the former is very unrealistic in such a war environment, and the caster who can cast magic has more important things to deal with, rather than spending a lot of magic to dispel the plague in the body that has not yet begun to attack for the warriors.

And the latter, with the medical level of this era, especially in a civilized desert place like the north, the use of medicine is still in a relatively rudimentary environment, and no one dares to guarantee how much effect the plague created by the plague will have.

However, the Scandinavians should be glad that death is not here, otherwise, the negative energy that is full of the city of Uppland, and the corpses everywhere, can easily make death organize an army of the undead, an army that does not eat, drink, tired, and loses.
