Of course, the previous ones were just Alice's feelings and rough judgments, and it would be too arbitrary to think that the man named Rurik in front of him could achieve the same great thing as Siegel based on these alone.

Therefore, the following conversation is particularly important, what position Rurik and his Novgorodians are in, how will they be treated, whether they will gain the support of the Baltic Empire, or whether this will become another achievement recorded in Alice's data.

The smell of milk tea permeated the room, and unlike Rurik's appearance, judging from the milk tea he prepared for Alice in a smooth manner, he usually did it himself.

"Very nice. ”

Gently picking up the teacup in front of her, she took a slight sip, feeling the warm silky liquid flowing in her mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on Alice's face.

This is not a compliment, the taste of this milk tea is really good, whether it is from the choice of materials or from the brewing process, it can be called excellent.

Even Alice, who is used to eating good food, has to admit that if she or her maid cooks it, it will be difficult to make milk tea with such a taste.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Alice's face, Rurik's heart breathed a sigh of relief, although the surrender just now has greatly eased the relationship between the two, but it can satisfy the girl in front of him, which is still beneficial to the next negotiations.

Rurik surrendered, and his life was in Alice's hands, but that didn't mean he didn't have any bargaining chips in his hands, both for his personal strength and for his Novgorodians.

"Atira, what do you think of your empire? ”

Putting down the already empty teacup, Alice took out a square towel and wiped the corners of her mouth, and with an unpredictable smile on her face, she asked Rurik the question.

It seems like a very simple question, but it makes Rurik fall into silence, because this is a multiple-choice question with only two options, and it's good to say if you choose right, and if you choose the wrong one, it's likely to anger the girl in front of you.

If Attila says good things, it may annoy the girl in front of her, after all, she has always been in a hostile relationship with Attila.

It would not be appropriate to speak ill of Attila, because that would make others think that he was the kind of person who had no position and could not hesitate to spit on his old master for the sake of his life.

"Don't dwell too much on it, just say what you really think. ”

Alice saw through Rurik's hidden entanglement at a glance, and she spoke again, with a power that seemed to calm people down.

"King Attila? ”

After thinking about it carefully, Rurik could only use two words to describe the girl who was called the King of Destruction, and use these two words to sum up her achievements and achievements.

"She has brought us victory after victory, and we have defeated one powerful enemy after another, whether it is us humans, centaurs, gnolls, ice giants, white bears, mammoths, or dragons, all of them are equal in her eyes. ”

Indeed, as Rurik said, in the eyes of Attila there was never a distinction between race and blood, all were equal, only the difference between strength and worth.

"So, what does she bring you besides victory?"

Alice, in a calm tone, said words that could shake the foundations of the Attila Empire and make all the great deeds of that girl worthless.

Yes, it was as if that Attila had brought them nothing but victory

Life has not changed, they need to fight against the cruel environment, ferocious beasts, and bad weather every day, and every winter, no matter how much preparation has been made, in the face of the cold winter and snowstorm, it seems so pale.

In other words, the appearance of Attila made their lives even more difficult, and they had traded with merchants from the Baltic Sea, and they exchanged their goods for a lot of wealth, and finally made their lives rich, but a knight's order brought everything back to the way it was.

In addition, Attila's frequent wars also made his tribes miserable, and the two failed western expeditions caused a large number of young men to die in Scandinavia, and the war with the frost giants and centaurs was even worse.

These wars, before the advent of Attila, were also happening, and although they were very frequent and going on almost every day, the losses were not too great due to the intensity.

Following Alice's guidance, Rurik discovered a great rebellion that no one in the Attila Empire had thought of, the great man who had always been worshiped as a god by them, leading them to victory and conquering land after land.

It did not bring them a better life, but as their enemy, the empire established by the black-haired and black-eyed girl in front of them, the prosperous trade, made all the people on the Baltic coast, including them, reap a lot of wealth.

The ideas inherent in my mind were mercilessly shattered in the stormy seas, and the original longing for Attila became indescribable, and it may be a complex emotion of resentment.

When the god in his mind stepped down from the altar, Rurik realized that it was just a mortal with great power, and other than that, the so-called greatness, the so-called greatness, the so-called strength, all came from strength.

"Attila, her empire is a deformed empire, everything stems from her strength, everything is because of her strength. ”

Alice's words, although they are full of derogatory terms, are full of contempt for Attila, but Rurik, who has the longing and fear of Attila in his heart, has to admit that Alice's words are correct.

"However, being strong is enough, and this world, no matter what you do, only needs to be strong. ”

agreed with what Alice said, but Rurik still chose to struggle, his outlook on life, values and worldview were shattered into powder by Alice's words, and before reconstructing, he was just following the most primitive ideas in his heart, subconsciously refuting it.

"Indeed, being strong is enough. ”

As long as there is the law of the jungle, then it is enough to be strong, and such a one, no matter where it is, at least in this world, is universal, irrefutable, irrefutable, indisputable facts.

Alice knew that Rurik, who had fallen into self-doubt in front of her, and Rurik, who had been shattered everything, said this sentence only subconsciously and without other intentions.

However, she also knew that the answer to this sentence was related to whether she could win him out of Attila's camp and finally achieve the goal she had planned.

If being strong is enough, then everything that Attila does, her actions, her words, all of her should be right, all righteous, and all should be irrefutable.

"But she is not the only one who is strong, and don't forget Rurik, the girl you describe as great, who failed twice in Scandinavia. ”

"Distant relatives with the same blood and the same ancestors in your body have been defeated twice in head-to-head combat. ”

Alice continued to speak with such a strange emphasis, and the strange power in her words made it easy for Rurik to let go of his vigilance and believe her words, or this was not due to the influence of the girl's power, but when everything was shattered, he subconsciously wanted to find something as a goal to move on.

Or, it is the blood flowing in his body, rushing in his veins, and what is hidden, even if he converts his faith and does not believe in the gods of Aesir, there is no way to completely eliminate it, which is called ambition, and it can also be called something of hope.

"What Beowulf can do, I'm sure you can do too. ”

Alice said this, as she said, Beowulf had indeed successfully repelled Attila's army twice on the battlefield, but whether it was the first or the second, the so-called westward expedition was more like a temptation to Scandinavia.

There are subjective reasons and objective reasons, so that Attila has no way to clench his fists and put the strength of his whole body in one place, but the world does not understand this, they will only see the invincible Attila lose his halberd twice in Scandinavia, and they will only see such facts.

Of course, Rurik had heard of Beowulf's name, but when he was under siege, he also had a powerful warrior who died with the same knight, and even after time, his terrible legend still circulated among the Attila Empire.

"I ...... Will I be able to do what Beowulf did?"

Rurik asked himself, he was not doubting anything, he was not questioning anything, but subconsciously provoking the ambition in his heart, having the same ancestor, with the same blood flowing in his body, what Beowulf could do, he could do.

"So, what can you give me? ”

When the coat of victory was uncovered on Atila's body, the cruelty and the fact that it had not changed was also seen by Rurik, who had already chosen to surrender to Alice for the sake of his people and the tribe, so it is not surprising that he chose to surrender for his own ambitions.

"It's not that I can give you, Rurik, it's what you can bring me, what value can you show me? ”

Alice's rhetorical question made Rurik fall silent, he had too few chips in his hands, whether it was himself or the forces under him, although they were valuable, they were not of much value.

If you put these things on both ends of the scale, what you can exchange for is not something of value...... At least to realize his ambitions, his ambitions, it's just that these things are not enough, he needs more, more, support from the Baltic Empire.

Information about the Attila Empire?

Looking at the girl in front of him, Rurik shook his head, in the Attila Empire, the Novgorodians are only a branch of the Rus, and the Rus people in the Attila Empire, the status they have is not high, and they are not even comparable to the gnolls, so the information that can be provided is estimated to be not as fast and real as those bards in the tavern.

With the Novgorodians, to create chaos in the Rus steppe?

This thought only flashed through his mind, and he thought of the tribes that had been dealt with by the knights with brute force in the previous chaos, those were large tribes, both in size and strength, and the regular troops and high-end combat power were much higher than the Novgorodians.

Even they didn't hold out for long in the hands of the knight, or in the face of the knight's appearance, they didn't even have the heart to resist, like a fresh fish caught on a chopping board, they could only wait for the knife to fall with their eyes open.

There is also a gap between legends and legends, Rurik is not arrogant enough to kill a white dragon, he has the power to fight the knight head-on, you must know that Beowulf who died with the war, the dragon that died in his hands is said to have reached three digits, and there are many ancient dragons that surpass adult dragons.

"Don't worry, Rurik. ”

"Now, not a great chance, wait until Attila's army lands in Scandinavia, that's your chance. ”

Attila's army was still resting in Finland, dealing with the problem of the snow-capped druids sabotaging their supply lines, but Alice believed that if Attila really put a hard time into solving these problems, the druids would not be able to hold out for long.

As she said earlier, many times, strength is enough, and in the face of great strength, many things become weak, and even a wide variety of magic cannot defeat those terrible knights, and the even more terrible Attila.

However, when Scandinavia, when Attila's troops had landed, the situation was different, and the enemy of Attila was not just a snowy druid, but a powerful force that could also be called an empire.

Regardless of Siegel's policies, and regardless of the real gap between the Scandinavian Empire and the Attila Empire, Alice believes that when they really start to collide, it will be when they will give it their all and have no time to deal with other things.

At that time, it was also the opportunity of the Baltic Empire, the opportunity of Rurik...... With such an opportunity, even the Novgorodians, who were only part of the Rus' people, under the leadership of this young man called Rurik, did not have the hope of unifying the entire Rus' steppe and establishing a country called Rus'.

After all, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and all Alice needs to do now is prepare Rurik to seize them.

And Rurik seized that opportunity, that is, the reward that Alice needs to get, no matter what the final result is, as long as the Rus steppe is unified, and is unified by a person with ambition, wisdom, and strength, then everything she has paid and invested can be rewarded.
