The rulers of the Baltic Empire are packing up their minds and revising their plans for the next step in preparing for the impact of this defeat.

In the Attila Empire, the whole country was in a triumphant revelry, and as the army returned to the city on the battlefield, many of the inhabitants came out of their houses and cheered in the streets, celebrating their country's victory against such a powerful enemy as the Baltic Empire.

These people had been hungry for such a victory for a long time, and from an empire that originally straddled two continents to a country that now owned only one-third of the land, the Attila Empire never took anything from the Baltic Empire.

Now, their king, Attila, and the four highest knights, have united with Sigourney of the United Kingdom to set a trap for the Baltic Empire, and have successfully passed through it and won.

Moreover, this victory is still a brilliant victory without the slightest controversy

This gave the people of the Attila Empire the hope of victory, and they had begun to believe what had been spread before, and it was the despicable ambush and death of the Baltic Empire that led to the subsequent defeat of the war.

Now that war and death have reappeared, there is no reason for the Attila Empire to fail, and even if it is as strong as the Baltic Empire, it cannot be an obstacle in their path.

Under the propaganda of the Attila Empire, many people have begun to recall their former glory, how invincible they were, even heroes like Beowulf fell under their iron horses.

However, not everyone was intoxicated by such victories, and those whose loved ones died on the battlefield were full of hatred for the Attila Empire.

They had already learned what had happened on the battlefield of Upland through the soldiers who were still alive, and they knew that their relatives had gone to the battlefield with weapons and fought for the Attila Empire, not at the hands of the Baltic Empire, but at the hands of the Attila Empire.

In this regard, these people are already mentally prepared, because they are all accustomed to the fighting methods of the Attila Empire, and know that their lives are to establish the possibility of victory.

Being mentally prepared does not mean that they will not grieve, hate, or hate, these people who have lost their loved ones are just numb because they have no other choice.

However, at this time, when someone stepped forward and told these people that they could avenge their loved ones and destroy this ruthless country, let these people join the Baltic Empire when they were freedmen.

And these people were moved.

Hatred has blinded their eyes, they don't want the Atila Empire to win in this battle, they don't want to continue to live in such a cold-blooded and ruthless country, they don't want other relatives to be used as tools and sacrificed on the battlefield at will.

Under the cover of the carnival of victory, the undercurrent appeared in the shadow of the Attila Empire, and those who hated the Attila Empire and longed for the Baltic Empire all gathered together.

The people who brought them together and integrated their forces were people with a certain position in the Attila Empire, and these people had once again confirmed that the fighting methods of the Attila Empire had not changed in the slightest after experiencing this battle.

The fact is that they wanted to borrow from the system of the Baltic Empire and change the Attila Empire from the inside out.

In the past few decades, more than ten years, they have learned from the Baltic Empire that once defeated them, learning various technologies and various systems, and the entire Attila Empire has undergone a lot of changes.

These changes were reflected on the battlefield, where years of warfare with the Scandinavian Empire and the United Kingdom rarely resulted in defeats, and even victories became the norm.

However, this incident was tantamount to a heavy slap in the face, and they woke up to the fact that the country of the Attila Empire, no matter how it changed, was an empire.

As long as the ruthless attitude of Attila and the four knights is still the same, no matter how much effort they make and how much sweat they put in, there is no way to make the Attila Empire as powerful as the Baltic Empire.

When they can't make themselves better, joining the good side becomes a good choice, and they have no loyalty to the Attila Empire in the first place.

They were willing to pay only because they had been part of the Attila Empire, and they could also be part of the Baltic Empire in the future.

No, if they join the Baltic Empire, they will be much easier, and the people of the original Attila Empire can put an end to this precarious life.

As they had done before, the rulers of the Attila Empire had failed to detect the undercurrents that had lurked beneath the victory, just as they had not noticed the rebellion of the giants and centaurs, had not noticed the gnolls' grievances, and had not heeded the orcs' pleas.

is still so arrogant, thinking that he can do whatever he wants with his own strong power, he can not care about the thoughts of the people and soldiers at the bottom, thinking that the Attila Empire can defeat the Baltic Empire once, and can defeat the second time.

Equally arrogant is Sigoness, who knows exactly why she was able to win this time, and clearly knows that it is by taking advantage of the arrogance of the Baltic Empire that she can achieve such a result.

She still clearly knows that after this battle and this victory, the Baltic Empire will definitely make changes and will definitely take a more cautious approach to attack.

Despite this, she was confident that she would be able to use the psychology of the Baltic Empire once again to set a trap for a second and third victory, until the Baltic Empire could not afford to lose and gave up the battle.

Her thoughts, if not arrogant, then nothing is arrogant, Sigourney only saw how many results were obtained from this victory, how brilliant this result was, but did not see how much they paid for this result.

With 30,000 soldiers lost and 4,000 wounded who could not be re-armed, the Attila Empire was not an elite soldier, but there was still a big gap between them and those who had not undergone brutal training and had not been on the battlefield.

After the loss of these soldiers, the number of the army of the Attila Empire was further reduced, and the soldiers who were shown to be very limited in combat effectiveness were very limited, and if they fought against the luxurious soldiers of the Baltic Empire on the battlefield, it was likely to be quickly defeated.

The so-called war is like this, it is the population and the productive forces, and if there is no way to make up for the losses quickly, then the whole country will become weaker and weaker over time.

Even if they were able to win on the battlefield occasionally, it would still take a long time for those victories to be converted into strength, and that time would be enough to lead to a final defeat.

This is also the reason why the Baltic Empire panicked when it learned that it had suffered a crushing defeat, but it was serious, but there was no catastrophe coming.

They have enough confidence to fail, they can keep failing, but neither the Attila Empire nor the United Kingdom can do it, even if it is such a brilliant victory, they will not be able to sustain it.

Because, they don't have so many soldiers for them to make these arrangements, just relying on a few legendary powerhouses with high-end combat effectiveness, there is no way to maintain such a "victory", there is no way to maintain the existence of such a country.

A similar situation happened in the United Kingdom with the Attila Empire, but they did not have the same as the Attila Empire, because they did not have much resistance to the Baltic Empire.

On the other side of the Ural Mountains, it was completely different, and the news of this defeat reached the hands of Golia, which made her slightly relieved, and the political movement of the Baltic Empire in the Ural Mountains during this time made her full of pressure.

Coupled with the constant defeats on the battlefield, she has not been able to get the slightest victory from the hands of the Baltic Empire, which makes the people of the Ural Mountains begin to question her ability.

The lords and factions of the coalition are constantly preaching the advantages of joining the Baltic Empire, and if they can get more people to join their ranks and then join the Baltic Empire as a whole, they will get more preferential treatment.

As the main force of the main battle faction, those orcs are also declining in their enthusiasm for battle, they do like to fight, but they don't like this kind of battle where there is no hope of victory and there is no need for a reason to fight.

Julia didn't find a good solution to this, because she had too few chips to compete with the Baltic Empire.

The victories she had achieved had been worn out for a long time, and the news of the glorious victory of the Attila Empire from Scandinavia had eased her predicament like rain in time.

After that, she changed her strategy and began to divide her military forces, sending part of her army to attack the Rus' steppe, while the rest of the army continued to surround the city, cutting off the Empire's supplies as much as possible.

The reason for the attack on the Rus' steppe was to relieve the pressure of the Baltic Empire on Scandinavia, and Julia knew that the reason why she was still able to maintain such a stalemate was because the Baltic Empire focused on Scandinavia.

If Scandinavia is conquered, then the Ural Mountains will face the main army of the Baltic Empire, and Goliath will not be naïve to think that the armies in her hands will be able to hold out for too long in the hands of the Baltic Empire in earnest.

In addition, Goliath also hopes to increase her prestige among the coalition forces by invading and plundering the Rus' steppes, and to make her troops willing to submit to her leadership by plundering the spoils of war.

For those soldiers below, victory and spoils of war are actually very important things, ordinary soldiers join the army to fight, many times there is not too much complicated reason, is to be able to fight, through the way to win to let themselves live, to make themselves live better.

Goria's actions, to some extent, did help the Attila Empire, because the Rus steppe was now very important to the Baltic Empire, and was the largest livestock production base in the Baltic Empire.

A large number of livestock products were supplied to the entire empire every day, and in addition to meat and milk for consumption, the skins and horns of livestock were very versatile materials.

High-quality leather can be used not only to make various types of leather armor, but also to be used as a material for writing and making magic scrolls, and the blood of animal husbandry after concentrating, purifying, distilling, etc., is an indispensable food for vampires.

The vampires of the Baltic Empire have become accustomed to this processed food, and are reluctant to go back to the previous way of sucking blood directly from the bodies of living creatures, both in terms of taste and the energy provided.

In addition, there are many tribes in the Rus steppe, and this rich steppe is the source of life for many tribes, so it is impossible for the Baltic Empire to sit back and watch Julia send people to destroy and plunder.

The day after Julia's order, the Baltic Empire took action, opening its doors to the castle that had been deeply rooted in the Ural Mountains for the first time in a long time.

In the absence of a reaction from the coalition forces, the heavily armed heavy cavalry in iron armor directly broke through the two camps on the periphery, and the flames rising into the sky could be clearly seen several kilometers away.

This action of the Baltic Empire is unmistakably telling Golia that if you still want to maintain the previous tacit understanding, then don't do so many small actions whimsically.

Goliath did not stop the movements in her hands, there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides, and such a stalemate and tacit understanding were unnecessary in many cases.

She knew very well that the Baltic Empire would not accept her surrender, and at the same time, she would not choose to surrender to the Baltic Empire, and her pride and her ambition would not allow her to do such a thing.

In a few days, the army from the Ural Mountains will officially enter the Rus' steppe, but it will not be a weak sheep waiting for them.

They will face the second-tier forces of the Baltic Empire, also armed to the teeth, trained for many years, and with a decent fighting force.

These troops are mainly gnolls, werewolves, and centaurs, as well as race such as steppe elves, all of whom have lived on the steppe for a long time and have adapted to fighting on the steppe.
