Northern Continent, Baltic Empire, Jutland Region

This city, which has developed in just a few years, is the largest city on the Baltic coast, although it is still slightly insufficient in terms of population, but its commercial achievements can already be compared to the port of Alexandria, which has the title of black pearl.

As Scandinavia, the battle between the Atila and the Scandinavians reached a stalemate due to floods and animal tides, and the depressed trade flourished again, and the goblins used it as a transit point for trade, transporting resources from all over the world here and then transshipment to Scandinavia to sell to both sides of the war.

Because of the thawing of the sea, fishing boats can function normally, and every day countless seafood is caught and sold in the harbor, or directly salted and dried on the boats, and sold to far-flung areas.

In Jutland, all kinds of factories were working overtime, and materials from various northern regions were transported here, processed and sold at several times the price, bringing huge profits to the Baltic Empire, and at the same time providing a large number of jobs and solving the employment problem of the population.

Jutland has a unique advantage due to its superior geographical location, advanced manufacturing technology, and a large number of jobs, and its prosperity and tranquility have attracted countless people to settle here and join the Baltic Empire, among which the residents of various races in the north who have suffered from years of war account for the vast majority.

Even though most of the people who chose to migrate died on the way due to animal tides, food, getting lost, wars, etc., there was still a steady stream of people rushing towards Jutland.

Gnolls, werewolves, centaurs, orcs, humans, giants, regardless of race, age, gender, strength or weakness, are all on the road to Jutland with dreams in order to live a life away from war.

However, this prosperity did not last long, and Jutland, which has a unique advantage, fell into trouble for nearly two weeks, with factories suspended, fishing boats not going to sea, and merchant ships not docking again.

Starlight, moonlight, and sunlight are all blocked by thick clouds and cannot be conveyed here, and the slightly cold sea breeze keeps blowing, and bursts of explosion-like thunder have become the only sound in the entire city except for the sound of rain, making the whole world extraordinarily gloomy.

The bean-sized rain kept falling, crackling on the solid rock buildings, and the people hiding in the buildings looked sadly at the seemingly endless downpour, melancholy the crops in the fields outside the city, looking forward to it, praying for the rain to stop.

However, the gods did not respond to the expectations of the believers, and the rain continued to fall, without any tendency to stop, continuously, day by day, making people with hope feel hopeless.

This kind of rainstorm has lasted for half a month, even if it is a centaur who lives in the northern region all the year round, it is the first time that they have encountered such a heavy rainstorm that lasts so long, and in such weather, they can't go out of the city to hunt at all, so they can only stay in the house, waiting for the rain to stop.

Jutland, a city with three sides of the sea and excellent drainage projects, is also flooded in the urban area, although it is not very serious, but it still puts great pressure on the traffic of the whole city.

The casters in the city have tried to use magic to disperse the dark clouds in the sky, but with little success, the thickness and number of clouds are beyond anyone's imagination, and the caster's attempts are only a drop in the bucket for the entire Jutland sky.

Of course, it's not that the caster doesn't have a solution to the weather other than dispel the clouds, but in this case Jutland, those methods, such as summoning a storm to blow the clouds away, will only cause damage to the city.

"Is this the wrath of the gods, a flood that will destroy us?"

"Mom, Mom, when will the rain stop? It's been raining for days, I want to go in the sun, I want to go out. ”

"Show your mercy, O God, at this time, and let this rain stop. ”

The incessant torrential rain brought not only material troubles, but also the inhabitants of the city who had gathered in their houses for a long time, sheltering from the lightning that accompanied the torrential rain, and all kinds of voices and thoughts appeared within them.

There's no way around it, and the abundance of food and water keeps these guys idle, and gives them the leisure to worry about what they don't have.

Of all the rumors, the most striking is that the city of Jutland has angered the gods, just like the northern Mediterranean, who will send down a great flood as punishment for sinners.

Such seemingly absurd and unfounded rumors are extremely marketable at this time, especially for those who have no culture, are not strong enough to believe in Alice, and have only recently joined the Baltic Empire.

There is no way, the god king Zeus of Olympus, the god of the sea, Poseidon, and the god Hades used the great flood to destroy the silver human beings who were located as sinners, and the matter has been widely spread in the entire main plane, since the gods of Olympus can do such a thing, then it is obvious that the gods on the northern continent can also do such things.

Therefore, in the face of such a continuous rainstorm, no matter who it is, it will be a question of whether it is the punishment of the gods, what you have done to become a sinner and need to be punished, and as time goes by, the more convinced you are of such doubts.

The only thing that has not changed, which is still brightly lit and almost a source of light for the city, is the castle in the middle of the city, built on a small hill.

In such a harsh environment, the rhinos still carry out patrols loyally, carefully maintaining various defensive equipment to prevent moisture damage, and they are also vigilant against possible threats.

In such a rainy environment, it is easy for enemies to take advantage of the situation, after all, at this time, the sight and hearing are seriously disturbed by the rain, and even the magic that spreads throughout the castle may be wrong due to the dampness.

Skaha, standing in the castle's office, walked out of the crystal-mounted window where she could see the outside clearly, her brow furrowed unusually as she stepped on.

If this rainstorm is due to the enemy's conspiracy, then the peerless female warrior has full confidence, believing that she can pierce the enemy's heart with the red magic spear in her hand, even if it is the Thunderbird army of the Atila army, she is confident that she can slaughter it all with only one person.

But unfortunately, this rainstorm is normal, there is no trace of man-made, and it can never be a trace of man-made, such a rainstorm has gone beyond the realm that mortals can influence, it is a miracle that only gods can create, but Skaha did not feel the breath of the gods, which ruled out the possibility of divine interference.

"How's it going? ”

Behind her, the vampire Aria was half-kneeling on the carpet, bowing her head respectfully, Alia, who was originally in charge of the fleet's trade, was trapped in Jutland because of the heavy rain, and now she is helping Skaha deal with Jutland's various problems.

"Lord Skaha, the situation is not good, rumors have begun to circulate in the city that are not good for the Empire, and it has been discovered that the people below have gathered. ”

"Those lowly fellows really can't be trusted, it is clear that the empire saved them, gave them jobs, continued their houses, gave them food, let them survive, and now they question the empire because of the slightest difficulty. ”

This is the worst-case scenario, the rumor is very difficult to stop, especially if it was not stopped in the first place, and by now that almost everyone has heard the rumor, there is no way to stop it.

Alia appeared here to find a solution and a way to solve the problem from Skaha, and cut off the signs of rebellion without affecting the whole Jutland situation.

"Did you catch the instigators? Did some of the guys who gathered together deliberately organize them? Did the goblins find someone to organize them?"

The people gathered secretly, and at this time, it was obvious that it was because of the continuous rainstorm, and with the previous rumor, it was easy to deduce their purpose.

It must be the blood of sinners to sacrifice to the gods, hoping to appease the wrath of the gods, hoping to stop this continuous rainstorm and let the sun shine on the earth again.

And the so-called sinners are Skaha, all the people in the castle, all those who are loyal to the Baltic Empire, loyal to Alice, and if such a goal is achieved, even if it is a small rebellion, the green goblins will benefit the most.

"Those goblins are desperately hoping that the rain will stop, because every day is too much for them to bear, and many of their goods are in trouble because of the dampness. ”

After a little silence, Alia could no longer bear it, and she urgently asked the question that had been haunting her heart, and it should not be like the question asked by the hostess Skaha, as if it were a question, because it was a passover, a thing that was difficult to forgive.

"Lord Skaha, I don't understand. ”

"Why not kill these sinners, why let these rumors spread, why let these people question, give them food, give them peace, give them shelter, save their lives from the empire. ”

"Aria, can killing solve the problem? Violence, can it eradicate the problem? And who defines the sinner? Is it you, me, Alice, or the gods on high?"

Still with her back to Alia, Skaha looked up at the black and oppressive clouds in the sky through the transparent crystal, at the electric snake that poked its head out of the clouds from time to time, but the picture of her life in Ulster flashed in her mind.

It is hard to imagine such words coming from the mouth of Skaha, an unparalleled female warrior, who used killing and violence to solve all problems on the battlefield.

"No, but ......"

Alia, who has been following Alice and Semiramis for a short time, of course knows that violence and killing cannot solve all problems, and if it can solve the problem, then the current ruler of the Scandinavian Empire should not be Siegel, but the stronger Siegmund with a silver sword in his hand.

"Killing, bringing fear, fear bringing stability, under the paralysis of the passage of time and a settled life, those guys will soon forget. ”

"Arrest those organizers and execute them publicly, and the rest of the sinners will inevitably choose to give in for the sake of a stable life, and as long as they get used to submission, the next problems can be solved. ”

Alia pondered for a moment, and then proposed her own solution for this time, which was violent and cruel, but it was a feasible and effective solution.

"Don't need to think about what the people think?"

"No, Lord Skaha, we are shepherds, the people are the sheep, and the shepherds need to consider the benefits of the flock, not the emotions of the sheep themselves. ”

"Whether they are happy or not, the wool and lamb on offer will not change. ”

Faced with Skaha's bland questioning, Alia said in a respectful tone, but not humble.

This way of speaking comes from Semiramis, and only Semiramis would say such cruel and unpopular words so easily, and analyze the truth of the world so simply.

“…… What a typical Semiramis answer. ”

Skaha sighed and said something of unknown significance.

"Although you have tried very hard to learn from Semiramis, but at this level, there is still a great distance from her, and if it were her, killing and violence would only be a means, not an end in itself. ”

"That cunning woman will not leave a handle for people to talk about in this regard, and even the person who is cheated by her will eventually thank her, and count the money for her if she is sold. ”

Alia didn't dare to answer at this time, whether it was Skaha or Semiramis, they were both her hostesses, and the conflicts and problems between the two hostesses should be something that her master Alice needed to consider, she had no qualifications or ability to meddle in such a complicated matter.

"Where is this? This is Jutland, the most prosperous place in the Baltic Empire, the place where Alice first founded a city in the world, and most of the inhabitants here are loyal to Alice and believe in Alice. ”

"As you said, killing and violence won't solve all problems, but they can solve the problems of the present, but what are the consequences of doing so?"
