The battle continued into the night, and the city of Oslo was still a city of soldiers led by local nobles, relying on newly constructed barricades and buildings to put up a stubborn resistance.

Calmly, such cases were in the minority, and the Normans were able to break through seemingly sturdy barricades with concentrated fire with arquebuses or with light guns. Without the cover of the barricades, the recalcitrant Norwegians were nothing more than pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

"Is there any trace of Prince Olaf in Murraychid, Longwald, Oslo? Earlier, I received news that Prince Olaf had appeared in Oslo City today, and in order to capture Prince Olaf, I launched an attack in advance. Rodrigo sat down in the hall of lords and asked the two nobles standing to his right.

The nobleman named Longwald was a Norwegian, but since his allegiance to Duke Rodrigo, he had no mercy in killing his own countrymen, and was even more crazy than the others.

Longwald was the first to reply, "Lord Rodrigo, I have searched all over Oslo with the Vikings, but I have not found any trace of Prince Olaf. Is there a mistake in your message? ”

"No, this news is conclusive, this is the information I sent desperately from the dark line arranged in the city of Oslo, there will be no fake." Rodrigo said, shaking his head.

"My lord, where is that dark line now? Just ask. Longhilde suggested.

"Unfortunately, the secret line is gone, and I don't know if he was killed or held by the Norwegians somewhere." Rodrigo said with regret.

"My lord, I have only interrogated the prisoners of our army, especially the nobles who were lucky enough to survive outside the city, and they say that they once saw a group of men and horses going to the southeast of Wigenberg." Murraychd, a nobleman from an Irish background, then stepped out and bowed.

"Those must have been Prince Olaf's troops, and they must have left the city of Oslo before our army attacked it.

The kingdom of Navigenbe, the territory of Prince Olaf, near the Kingdom of Sweden and just across the sea from Denmark, must have gone to contact the Danish and Swedish reinforcements. Rodrigo speculated.

"My lord, do we need to send troops to the southeastern state of Wigenberg?" Murreccide asked.

"No, no matter what reinforcements he recruits, I am confident that they will be completely defeated." Rodrigo waved his hand and said to the nobles below: "Your Majesty has just sent an order to expand and consolidate our occupation in southern Norway, Your Majesty will have occupied the city of Trondheim, the capital of Norway, and will soon go south to fight with our army to flank those Norwegian nobles.

All we need to do is take all the best possessions in southern Norway, and even if Prince Olaf brings up Danish and Swedish troops, what are we afraid of? ”

Duke Rodrigo agreed with the nobles not to lead his army south to Wigenberg for the time being, but to use the city of Oslo as a base to expand the occupation area to the surrounding areas, and expel all hostile Norwegians.

As for the Vigan Empire, Duke Rodrigo contacted the Admiral of the fleet in the Bay of Oslo and ordered him to lead the fleet to blockade the waters off Wigan, at least not to allow Prince Olaf to obtain reinforcements by sea.

When Rodrigo captured the city of Oslo, there was no force in the surrounding area that could resist the strong attack of his Second Legion, and even if the local nobles organized an army to resist, they only relied on a mere five or six hundred, at most, to resist the strong Second Legion, which was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

In the following month, Rodrigo had captured the kingdoms of Axhusb, West Folbert, Opplan, and Hydemark, and the cities of Hamar, Thensberg, and Sheehan were captured by the Normans.

In north-central Norway, William also occupied the Duchy of Nidalos in central Norway, leaving an army to garrison the city of Trondheim, and then began to lead his troops south to Bergen and Rojialan.

Judging from the map, the armies of William and Duke Rodrigo have already outlanched southern Norway, and if nothing else, it will be within a few months to eliminate the southern Norwegian nobility and take all of Norway.

However, things did not always go as smoothly as William envisioned, at the beginning, William took advantage of the raid to eliminate a large number of military forces in the Kingdom of Norway, occupying more than half of the territory of the Kingdom of Norway, and it seemed that the conquest of the Kingdom of Norway was just around the corner, but as time went on, the brutal invasion of the Normans caused a strong reaction from the Scandinavian countries.

The first is the Danes, who are just across the sea from the Kingdom of Norway, who claim to the power of the Kingdom of Norway on the basis that until 1048 the Kingdom of Denmark was the suzerainty of the Kingdom of Norway.

In addition, the Danish royal family was the descendants of Cnut the Great, and they used it to claim all their rights to the Kingdom of Norway.

This time, the Kingdom of Denmark was still worried about the Normans, after all, their previous king, Swain II, had died in the war with the Normans, so when they declared war on the Normans, they also pulled the Kingdom of Sweden together.

The Kingdom of Sweden sent troops to Norway for different purposes than the Danes, and they had no ambition to annex Norway, not so much to declare war on the Normans at the invitation of the Danes, but rather to be a reinforcement from Prince Olaf.

At the cost of his own marriage, Prince Olaf succeeded in inviting the Kingdom of Sweden to join the war on the condition that he marry the daughter of the Swedish royal family of Stingel and cede the kingdoms of Wigenberg and Dharbe.

With Denmark and Sweden entering the war, Duke Rodrigo, who happened to be in the middle of the two countries, suddenly became more stressed, and he had to stop his march on Telemark and lead his army back to Oslo to wait for reinforcements.

Naturally, William had already envisioned the attack of Denmark and Sweden, and before conquering the Kingdom of Norway, William had formulated a set of countermeasures.

Against the Kingdom of Denmark, William had in his hands a powerful fleet that was strong enough to restrain Denmark, and the warships equipped with artillery were no longer comparable to those outdated warships, and he only needed to send his fleet to blockade Zealand and Jutland, and it was impossible for the Danish army to cross the Kattegat Strait and land in southern Norway.

As for the Kingdom of Sweden, which has always been the weakest of the three kingdoms of Denmark and Norway, Wilhelm never took it seriously. Sweden at this time was different from Sweden under Gustav II, not only did it lose most of the southern coast and northern Sweden on the way, but it also lost the Principality of Oppland as an extremely important territory during the succession of thrones over the years.

In this way, the Stenkel family took the throne as the son-in-law of the previous king, Edmund the Elder, but they lost Opplan, which greatly weakened Sweden.

Now, even if Sweden exhausts all its troops, it will not be able to assemble an expeditionary force of 10,000 men.
