Chapter 311: The Big Trouble with Barushinger (2)
The plan can never catch up with the change, no matter how smart Alice and Semiramis are, how perfect the deduced plan is, it will lead to deviations due to some external factors, and the final result will be even more different, they didn't expect that Beowulf's death did not restore the balance to balance, but tilted more powerfully, and what is even more unimaginable is that the tilted balance is not to the Scandinavian army, which has retained most of its strength, but to the Atila army, which has lost three high-end combat effectiveness,
According to the original script written by Alice and Semiramis, even if a strong man like Beowulf is lost, the Scandinavian army will not be defeated, and their coalition army will not be disbanded, after all, Attila is still alive, her threat is still not eliminated, in the face of such a powerful enemy, in the face of a great crisis that will be lost at any time, as long as it is normal, people will give priority to giving up their prejudices and uniting to get through the difficulties together, even if there is no Beowulf, they should continue to unite under the command of Sigourneγ Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
If there is no accident, then when the news of Beowulf's death reaches Scandinavia, Sigourney and Sigmund will rely on the legendary power, Odin's bloodline and the previous exploits of killing the orc chieftain on the battlefield to successfully integrate the entire coalition army, with Sigmomund's strength, Sigourne's wisdom, supplemented by the cooperation of berserkers and druids, and the containment of Alice and others, they can still deal with the Attila army that is also in trouble.
However, there were people who wanted to destroy the script written by Alice and Semiramis, and make a mess of the performances that had been prepared, and Alice, whose power in Scandinavia was only above the Yeats, did not pay deep attention to other intelligence, and it was this undesirable mistake that almost made Alice and Semiramis's hard work go to waste.
She didn't expect that in the Scandinavian army, in the country continent where all of them believed in the same god system, there were still such daring people who pushed the entire Scandinavian coalition army to the brink of division at this critical time.
Among the various countries in Scandinavia, except for Yeat, led by Beowulf, the most powerful force is actually not Barushinge, because there are not many berserkers in Barushinge, they are really more druids and witches, and simply relying on spellcasters, when facing berserkers, they often fall behind.
The Goths, located in the middle of Scandinavia, are the feud of Barusinga, with whom thousands of Goths and Barushingers die on the battlefield, and their feud is beyond words, and if it weren't for the presence of Atila and the fear of Beowulf's force, they would never agree to join the coalition with the Barushingers.
The Goths are very powerful, even from the perspective of overall strength alone, they are even stronger than Yeat, they have the most berserkers in the whole Scandinavia, and the largest number of cavalry, if the Yeats do not have the one who fights all over the peninsula, the Yeats will not be able to compare with the Goths, and the leader of the Goths will naturally become the leader of the coalition, and there will be no matter of Sigourney and Sigmund.
The leader of the current generation of Goths is a Siegel, he is a cunning fellow, he prefers to appreciate the situational style of Loki, the god of fire, more than most Scandinavians who believe in Odin, but as a smart man, he is very wise not to let others know his inner thoughts, at least in everyone's feelings, he is the most devout believer in Odin.
When Beowulf went on an expedition to Karelia, he did not follow as impatiently as other leaders, and even his subordinates only hastily sent a few thorns to participate, Sigourney was very dissatisfied with this, but he did not have the slightest way to take the powerful Goth, and Siegmund and Beowulf did not care, compared to these small actions of Siegel, the powerful Attila is the opponent who really needs to be solved first, before Atila's crisis is resolved, all internal contradictions can be temporarily suppressed, and all hatred can be temporarily put downγ
However, no one thought that Beowulf, who was accompanied by Skaha, the Beowulf who was known as the strongest brave man, with the merit of killing the war and inflicting heavy losses on the famine, actually died in Karelia like that, and he couldn't even enter the kingdom of God with his soul, so he died completely, and buried his bones in Karelia with Yeat and two-thirds of the berserkers of the other tribes.
However, without Beowulf, no one can suppress Siegel, in terms of strength he is also a legend, and in terms of intelligence, even if he is not as good as Sigoay, he will not be too far behind, more importantly, his identity, the identity of the Gothic king, makes him the biggest destabilizing factor in the Scandinavian coalition, in just a few days, within the coalition army, there have been no less than ten conflicts between Barusenge and the Goths, and all of them involve the nobles of both sides.
Just when everyone, even Sigourney and Siegmund thought that Siegel was ready to take advantage of the fact that Attila had no time to look westward, lead the Gothic army to split the entire Scandinavian coalition, annex Jeat, defeat the long-time enemy Barushinger, complete the unification of the entire peninsula, and establish the Gothic Empire.
The leader of Barusinger, Barushinger, arrived at the place where the coalition was stationed with his other ten sons, a mixture of 1,000 druids and 2,000 berserkers, and their presence only increased the tension.
As a last resort, the sacrifices of the gods had no choice but to hold a grand banquet meeting on the school grounds of the allied military camp on the second day of Barusenge's arrival, preparing to use words to resolve the grudge between the Goths and Barusenger, so that the two legs that now support Scandinavia have not fallen, shake hands and make peace.
The sacrifice of the gods represents the will of the gods, whether it is Barusenge or Siegel, no matter how unwilling, no matter what the final result of the meeting is, the face of the gods, each leader needs to be careful, at least the superficial respect still needs to be maintained, otherwise before the punishment of the gods comes, the soldiers below will be killed first.
At this banquet dedicated to the gods, Siegel came out of the crowd and brought the leaders of the various tribes who had already moved closer to him, and the leaders who followed him already occupied half of the power of the entire Scandinavia, which means that if the differences between the two sides are not properly resolved today, Scandinavia will really fall into a continuous civil war, and in the case of a strong enemy watching outside, such an act can be called self-defeating.
Siegel was wearing a robe made of precious silk, and his face was ordinary with a little gloomy, which made his whole temperament look unusually obscene, he held his head high, pushed away Zu Lang's guards and came straight to Barusenge, ignoring the coercion of the eleven princes who had also reached the legendary class behind Barushinger, and suddenly made a big salute to Barushinger.
Before anyone else could recover from his actions, Siegel had already spoken out his goal, and the reason why he wanted to bow was to propose to Sigoay's father, Barusenger's leader, Barusenger, and ask the long-time enemy to marry Sigourn, the princess of Barusenga, who is now the de facto leader of the coalition.
"As long as Princess Sigourney becomes my queen, then the Goths will make peace with Barusenger, and at the upcoming coalition meeting, I will also nominate you, the son of the great Odin, Balusenger to succeed the dead Beowulf as the commander and commander of the coalition forces. β
In the midst of the solemn sacrifices, in the wails of countless prisoners of war who were hanging from trees waiting to die, and in the presence of the distorted shadows of the flickering candles, Siegel made a solemn promise to Barusenger, a promise that could not be broken, and that if he did not want to be cursed by Odin, Siegel would only be able to fulfill this promise, provided that Barusenge married Sigoanne to him.
ββ¦β¦ Are you serious? β
"My nemesis, Siegel, are you really going to give up our feud?"
Seeing that his long-standing enemy would make such an incredible suggestion, this strong man who had led the army all the way to help his children showed an incredible look on his face, he plucked his ears with his hand, and asked uncertainly.
If it weren't for the festival of the gods at this moment, if Barushinger hadn't known how solemn the vows made here were, he would never have asked such a stupid question.
"You heard me right, and I am not wrong, dear son of Odin, Barusinger, if you marry me the beautiful Princess Sigoness, Scandinavia will stop on the brink of war and return to the embrace of peace. β
This time, Siegel's words were not so secretive, basically telling everyone that if Sigourney was not married to him, then the Gothic king would start a war to fight for the position of commander left by Beowulf, and the right to choose was already in the hands of Barussenger under the witness of the gods.
Whether to push the whole of Scandinavia into the abyss for the sake of a daughter, Barusenge pondered carefully...... Or that it didn't take any thought at all, and if it wasn't Siegel who made the threat, Ballusenger would have agreed by now.
[Could it be that under the witness of the gods, he can still go back on his word?]
As for the understanding of the old enemy, Barushenger thought quickly, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why the other party did it.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Silence, everyone present fell into silence, and no one dared to open their mouths to break this silence for a long time
Without Beowulf's suppression, it would be a catastrophe for all of Scandinavia if long-time rivals Goth and Barusenge fought, and even if the winner was decided before Artela's attack again, the chances of the victor being able to defend against the king would be slim to none
Countless eyes were on Barusenga's face, the sacrifice of the god Odin, the messenger of the elves, the messenger of the dwarves, and the other tribal leaders, all waiting for Barusenga's answer, all expecting Barushinger to give an answer that would bring peace, an answer related to the future of Scandinavia.
"Father, don't worry about it, don't mind, I promise!"
The silence was broken by a crisp and melodious girl's voice, and everyone shifted their eyes to the direction where the voice came from, and after seeing the owner of the voice, they fell silent again, because it was the protagonist of this time, the protagonist of the balance between war and peace, Sigoarney, the princess of Barusenge.
"I promise you, Gothic King Siegel, that I will be your queen. β
The crowd moved out of the way, and Sigourney came to Siegel, and the girl looked up at the man who was old enough to be her father, and instead of being shy by the suitor, her eyes were determined.
"Sigourney!"
Siegmund stepped out of Barussenger's back and into the center of the field, looking at his sister, who had taken care of him since childhood, with painful eyes, but he didn't know what he could do at this moment.
He doesn't want his sister to marry his nemesis, Siegel, but finds that he can't find a reason to oppose it.
He felt a lot of pain, like the pain of having his heart cut in half with a blunt knife, but he couldn't understand what kind of pain it was.
"Brother, you don't have to say it anymore, it's my decision. β
Looking at his sister, who had such a determined look in his eyes, Siegmund's mind went blank and retreated.
"So, dear Sigoaney, our wedding will take place in three days' time, and as a sign of my sincerity, we will be held in your capital of Barushinga, and I would like to see the city known as the Tree of Children. β
The Children's Tree, the capital of Barusenga, is famous for being a city built by countless giant trees growing together, and in addition to ordinary human habitation, there are many druids who have made their home there, and it is by virtue of these druids that Barusenge can fight against the powerful Goths.
"I think it's going to be a party that will throw the whole of Scandinavia into a party. β
Siegel cracked his mouth open, laughing loudly, his voice filled with a foul stench like a stinking gutter.
