The blizzard was getting heavier and heavier, more than a level higher than yesterday, the visibility was further reduced, and the temperature dropped with it, to the point where centaurs had to wear thick clothing to withstand it.

Thankfully, this is the Norwegian mountains in western Scandinavia, where there is not much but the tall coniferous trees, which allow them to get enough dyes to light the fire and dispel the cold without much effort.

As last night, the Scandinavians had once again made a sneak attack, choosing to sneak in from the forest in the middle of the night, when everyone was at their worst, ready to rush into the barracks and wreak havoc, just like the previous time.

As a result, they were still 300 meters away from the barracks when they were spotted by the gnolls hiding in the snowdrifts, and then the wyverns began to arrive, and the centaurs tried to surround them in the distance.

In desperation, the Scandinavians left a few of them to delay, and the rest quickly returned to the city the same way, while those who remained were torn apart by the angry Attilla army, and finally even the corpses that were reduced to pieces became food for the gnolls.

To be able to eat such fresh and warm food on such a cold night is undoubtedly very satisfying, and they are in good spirits and looking forward to the next arrival of the Scandinavians.

Don't be surprised that the gnolls are so greedy, because of the logistical supply line, they haven't eaten fresh food for a long time, because of the logistical supply, their soldiers at the bottom eat food that has been frozen for a long time, and most of the food that is distributed to the gnolls is food that has begun to rot.

Fresh food from hunting and corpses collected from the battlefield will be given priority to the Beamon Dragons and Thunderbirds, followed by the White Bears and Mammoths.

As the night vigil of the Atila army began to enjoy a rare revelry of victory, the Scandinavian army, the chiefs of their tribes, the chiefs of all races, gathered together to discuss the next day's war.

In terms of logistics, they don't need to, and they don't have a place to quarrel, their energy is mainly focused on what kind of methods can be used to kill the enemy to the maximum, what methods to use to achieve victory, and end this disgusting and damned war.

The druids appear here as representatives of the giant eagle white dragon, while the green dragon represents himself, along with dwarves, elves, snow monsters, mammoths, and a few more rare racial representatives.

Mammoths, not surprisingly, not all of them have joined Attila's army, not only in the steppe forests of the Northlands, but also in the Norwegian mountains of western Scandinavia, where there are also large groups of mammoths without any affiliation.

They didn't care if it was the Scandinavians or the Attilas who ruled the region, they were only here and in the Scandinavian army because the snowy druids told them about the brutality of the Atila and their strategy of surrender or destruction, which led them to take up arms for their freedom.

"Tomorrow, we will fight the same way we do today, we already have the advantage, there is no need to give up the advantage we have already gained and go to close combat with the Scandinavians. ”

The owner here, who was also the initiator, organizer, and commander of this coalition, was originally the chief of a small tribe in western Scandinavia, near the Norwegian mountains, called Gohm.

This is an unknown person, and his strength is very low, and any one of the people present can easily defeat him and kill him.

But the only reason he was able to become the leader of this place, to allow that multi-race and tribal man to abandon his once hateful prejudices and gather here to deal with a powerful, seemingly invincible and ever-victorious enemy, was only because of his miracles.

Not because of the blood in his body, not because of the belief in the gods, not because of the overwhelming power, not because of the political means that make people helpless, Gohm just became a miracle by virtue of a miracle.

"What about Siegel, don't you need to think about it?"

The representative of the elven clan spoke at this time, and his speech pointed directly to the key to this war.

The forces here are still nominally subordinate to the Scandinavian Empire, but everyone knows that they have nothing to do with the Scandinavian Empire, and even what they need to think about is not how to get help from the Empire, but the need to be prepared that the Empire will not stab them in the back when they concentrate on dealing with the Attila army.

This was a concern for everyone, especially the dwarves and elves, who had seen Siegel's methods, and did not want to be defeated by the Atila army, only to be exterminated by Siegel in the name of rebellion, or to die in some conspiracy.

"There is no need to worry about Siegel, and you don't need to ask too much about the specifics, I will naturally have a way to solve it on the imperial side. ”

"Even if we defeat the Atira army?"

"Even if we defeat the Attila army. ”

Of course, everyone present was not satisfied with Gohm's mysterious answer, but after they looked at each other, they all gave him their trust.

Just because he is a miracle worker, a miracle worker.

"Alright, if there are no other problems, let's end this meeting, the next war will be even more cruel, and do not forget that our opponent is Attila, the monster that even the heirs of the god Odin cannot defeat. ”

Then the meeting ended, neither satisfied, nor dissatisfied, and the leaders left in twos and threes, returning to the place where their race and tribe were stationed.

Thankfully, the city was built for war purposes in the first place, and there was a lot of open space in the city for garrisoning, and even if so many people were crammed in, there was still a place to move, especially for a large race like the Tree People, who could not live in the houses built by the Scandinavians.

The smell of war is getting stronger and stronger, two strong hounds are fighting fiercely, and countless jackals are waiting around, waiting for the moment when the winner will be decided, waiting to enjoy the corpse of the loser, or even the winner by the way.

Alice and Semiramis are hiding some distance from the battlefield, creating a hut with magic and placing protective and hidden enchantments nearby.

The roaring bonfire dispels the cold in the hut, the food smells charmingly, and the two beautiful maidens enjoy an enviable and comfortable life.

As they discuss the war that took place during the day, the opinions of the two rare girls are divided, with Alice believing that the Attilas will eventually win because of the stupidity of the Scandinavians, and Semiramis believing that the Attila army is at the end of its rope and will not take much time to collapse due to logistical and internal problems.

"Semiramis, although it is more in the interests of our Baltic Empire to say that the defeat of Attila is more in the interests of our Baltic Empire, you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open, the balance of power between them is there, even if you don't play conspiracy, you can easily win. ”

"Do you mean Attila and the two knights, and Beamon? I admit that they are very strong, especially Attila, and there is no one in the Scandinavian Empire who can compete with them. ”

"But, Alice, there is no one in the Scandinavian Empire, and that doesn't mean there is no other place, and I don't think you brought me here on a whim to see this drama. ”

Speaking of this, Semiramis looked at Alice with a little dissatisfaction and a little smile.

The smile was to see the embarrassment on Alice's face at this time, and the dissatisfaction was that Semiramis knew that this was not a pure tour, and they were not really here to watch and gather news.

"Okay, okay. ”

Alice turned her head and diverted the topic, originally saying that she would take Semiramis out for a walk, but it turned out that there was another purpose, and she felt more or less guilty in her heart.

"What do you think of the situation tomorrow, if the Scandinavians don't come to their senses, then tomorrow the gnolls will be on the wall, and how long do you think the Scandinavians will be able to hold out under the continuous attack of the gnolls?"

"Wrong, Alice, if the gnolls come to the top of the city, then it will be the Attilas who will be defeated, and the Scandinavians are stronger than the gnolls in such a hand-to-hand battle, and do you think that the Scandinavians have no other hole cards in their army?"

"You mean?"

Alice cast a curious look.

"Sigoanne, do you remember? During the Second Scandinavian Defense, also known as the Second Western Crusade, Sigournier used divine magic. ”

"Do you mean, the hymn she sings about the deeds of the god Odin? Indeed, if it were Sigoarney, with a princess like Barushinger like her, and Siegmund who was likely to appear on the battlefield, they did have the power to rival the army of Atila. ”

Speaking of this, Alice recalled that time Sigourney showed the magic spell, and at a later opportunity, she had already obtained this magic from Sigoarney, but I don't know if it was because of the problem of faith, or because of the taboo of God Odin in the magic spell, she couldn't use it at all.

"No, Sigourne will not appear on the battlefield, I discovered one thing during the last meeting, Sigourney has a new child in her belly, with Sigor's character, with his love for Sigourne, he will never let Sigourney take this risk. ”

"Having said that one side of this battle is a coalition army dominated by the Scandinavians, not the army of the Scandinavian Empire, with Siegel's character, it is hard to believe that he will let the power in his hands appear in this war. ”

Alice, out of her understanding of Siegel, made this judgment that the man is an absolute political monster, and if he can solve the problem by political means, he will definitely not use violence and use the economy to solve it.

has three completely different views from Alice, Alice believes that interests are the basis of everything, under interests is politics, under politics is violence, and it is a means that will only be implemented in the most helpless circumstances.

For in Alice's view, the victory of violence inevitably comes with a certain amount of loss, and these losses can be avoided by other means.

To some extent, this frightened [Calamity Girl], who is not even called by name, is actually a pacifist who does not like to solve problems violently.

"Alice, you can't think like this, the past is the past, the present is the present, although it is the Scandinavian coalition, not the Scandinavian Empire, but you have to see that the main forces and elites of the empire gathered here are actually the main forces and elites of the empire, if they die here, then the Scandinavian Empire will exist in name only, and even decent resistance cannot be organized. ”

"We and Francis Drake can provide them with a lot of supplies, but we can't provide them with soldiers, we can't provide them with population, not to mention that after the defeat of this war, we need to think about how to deal with the Attila army, this time it is definitely not a small fight before, but a serious war on the battlefield. ”

Semiramis retorted that she did not analyze from the character of Siegel, but from the perspective of a mature ruler, if she was the ruler of the Scandinavian Empire, no matter how angry she was at this time, no matter how resentful, she would bow her head in front of the big picture.

She wouldn't say something like some fools, "I'd rather be a thief than a slave," and she wouldn't gain anything at all except roasting herself on the fire, and worst of all, the gods would never continue to favor such fools.

"Perhaps, these are just our guesses, this battle has just begun, and it won't end so easily, and the Scandinavian Jedi will not repeat Upland's mistakes and will not give Attila a chance in this regard. ”

"Moreover, this war has not yet reached the time when it is really fierce, and this war is related to the belonging of the land of Scandinavia, and the end of the Scandinavians, do you think those gods will be so indifferent?"

Alice hadn't received Brunhilde's message, and the fire and frost giants in the void had already overwhelmed the gods, but she could still feel that the gods' eyes had been watching the war, perhaps waiting for an opportunity to intervene, perhaps for an opportunity to bless the warriors.

"Maybe it's Loki, maybe it's Odin, maybe it's some other god, I believe that this war, in the end, will not only change the situation in the Northlands, but it will affect the entire main plane. ”
