After receiving the news from the spy, Randy breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the effect of spoiling the entire Jutland Peninsula into this shape had begun to show.

Keeping Denmark unable to recover for a long time and joining the Nordic game is one of them.

At the same time, it was one thing to make the Holy Roman Empire, which was equally greedy and much more powerful in the south, lose interest in being beaten and reorient itself to ensure the safety of the Norwegians.

"Then it's time to fight the Swedes!"

Randy spent nearly a week dividing the Danish nobility on Jutland into three camps, and divided the three dukes of Upper Jutland, Middle Jutland, and Lower Jutland, and after a brief diplomatic confrontation with von IV, the Norwegian army had also rested and could continue the attack.

According to the news through the spy network, the Norwegian pirates, based on the island of Gotland, carried out several attacks on the Swedish coast.

Speaking of which, the Swedish navy was not bad, and it went through a few rounds at Carter's hands, but in the end it was still defeated by the power of the improved ballista battleship.

Soon Sweden's narrow coastline became a paradise infested by Vikings.

Because the main force was all on an expedition, the garrison in Sweden at this time was extremely weak, and the Vikings easily succeeded several times, and even approached Stockholm several times, but in the end, they were not successful due to the harassment and resistance of the Finnish light cavalry on the Swedish side.

In such a situation, the morale of the Swedish side will be affected to a certain extent.

Finland is relatively stable because of the long time of merger with Sweden, and King Gustav's unique skill, fighting and pulling the Finns, and hiring a large number of Finnish light cavalry to serve him, but the Pskov and Petrozavodsk newly ceded by Sweden from Novgorod, as well as the forcibly annexed Estonian region, are all turbulent, and the local Rus' princes and nobles have ill intentions and intend to restore their autonomy.

Novgorod, which had recently been defeated, and the Teutonic Knights, who had been defeated by Sweden, also planned to regain their lands.

Randy is full of confidence, and when his army goes north to hold Gustav, then the Eastern European heroes will flock to regain the land that Sweden ceded on the Eastern European Road, and Norway, Novgorod, the Teutonic Knights, and the three will not ally and divide Sweden's wealth and land together.

It's just that a slight problem arises here!

When everything was ready, Randy suddenly heard the bad news, the Norwegian capital of New Nijmegen had fallen, with 1,500 defenders wiped out, and the Swedish army, which had been badly damaged during the siege, slaughtered the city for three days.

"It's over, it's over, it's over......"

After hearing the news, Randy only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and if it weren't for Artoria next to him who quickly helped Randy, he would have to be ashamed.

"What the hell is going on? How could he have captured New Nijmegen so quickly? ”

Seeing Randy muttering to herself alone, Artoria questioned Nameless.

Nameless bowed his head deeply, not daring to face the murderous queen at all, and reported in a low voice: "According to the news, after the other party ransacked Bergen, they attacked from north to south, and the military camp was also deployed on the north wall, and attacked day and night, and the south wall did not move, General Anderson put all the defenders to the north, and then ......"

"Rubbish! Eater! ”

Randy came back to his senses and yelled at Anderson, who was dead.

"Go! Send me someone to assassinate him. Randy ordered.

"Dark ...... Assassination of the King of Sweden? Nameless asked.

"Who else but him? Do you want to me off too? Get lost! ”

Randy picked up the priceless Oriental porcelain teacup on the table and threw it directly in front of Nameless, seeing that the thing worth hundreds of gold coins had become scum all over the place, and the spy leader felt a chill in his flesh at the same time, and he ran away without a trace.

"People are the kings of a country, where is it so easy to assassinate, but you can also give it a try, after all, not every king is like you, day and night with a large number of guards knights and killers." Artoria grumbled.

"I hope it will work!" Randy sighed softly, still looking unwilling.

"What the hell is going on? Does the city of New Nijmegen matter? ”

"New Nijmegen is not very important, except for the memory, which is the capital of Norway, where all the taxes paid by me for the last two years after the unification of Norway, the taxes on the aqueducts of Öresund, and the profits from trade with the Italian East Rome are all gone."

"How much money?"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Where's the unit?"

"Gold!!"

"............" Artoria went violently.

"Four hundred thousand?"

"Hmm!"

"Rubbish! Eater! ”

This time, it was Artoria's turn to overturn the table directly, and a complete set of porcelain tea sets brought from the East fell to the ground and became tatters.

In Artoria's mind, Randy's stuff has its own half of everything, 400,000 gold coins is 200,000, and the Celts are too poor.

Since Artoria ascended the throne, the treasury was only 20,000 or 30,000 gold coins when it was the richest, but when she heard that her husband was 400,000 lost, Artoria went straight away.

"Hurry up, slaughter that guy for me, and get the gold back."

"Shut up, losers."

Randy's biggest dissatisfaction with Artoria is that eating too much can cost money, which is of course a common problem among women.

To make beautiful clothes, to buy oriental silk and porcelain, but also to Italian glassware, Byzantine oil paintings, she wants them all, the palace expenses are definitely not 3000 gold coins a month, Randy is not easy to mess with, usually nothing to do, this and a bad mood Artoria is still finding fault, Randy is also angry.

In the end, the two sides had a profound exchange in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.

Two hours later, the husband and wife finally came to an agreement, came out refreshed, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance in the direction of New Nijmegen, kill all the Swedes of the dog day, and snatch back all the gold coins.

At the same time, the Swedish army, which had just won a great victory and had made a lot of money from top to bottom, also continued to move south under the strict supervision of King Gustav.

The two sides are about to meet......

Although the husband and wife are united in their own interests, but Randy against Gustav, he really doesn't have much confidence, for this man who dominates the war in the cold * alternate era, no matter what kind of honor he is crowned with, Gustav back then, can be called an invincible opponent in Europe, and he has raised Sweden, a third-rate small country in Europe, to a first-class level, and can be called a god-like man who defy the sky.

When Randy first debuted and was still a small shrimp in the rivers and lakes, he was almost scared when he heard Gustav's name slightly, and then decisively broke off his plan to open up the territory to the east, but fortunately, at this time, a dwarf was wronged and sent to the door to spoil him, and the 30,000 coalition troops directly landed in England and instigated the Scots to form an alliance, and Randy created a family business.

Then Randy is worried, what should he do next?

England has been opened up, Scotland is left to fend for himself, if he dares to cross Hadrian's Wall to make a living, he will be beaten, and southern Europe is too far away from him, so he decisively ignores it, and then there are three lands left in Eastern, Central and Western Europe.

Western Europe......

France seems to be a good opportunity, but it can't stand the fact that there is a monarch who is at least nominally the town, and Philip II has left a glorious legacy in history.

The fox's nickname symbolizes insidious cunning, and Randy also serves as the Duke of Normandy on his title, and he is also a vassal of the King of France, pretending to be stupid and ignoring his duty as a vassal.

Although Randy has not yet governed the territory of Normandy and has not been rich in appearances, it can be regarded as a springboard for entering the European continent, and the strategic location is extremely important, and Randy has not been generous enough to be able to take such a large piece of land to the extent of risking it.

So looking at the Holy Roman Empire......

The so-called emperors take turns to sit in my house this year, which is a perfect metaphor for the Holy Roman Empire.

If you become a member of the Holy Roman Empire, you will become an Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, and if the members choose you to be Emperor, congratulations, you will be able to add a Holy Roman Emperor hat to your title.

But after analyzing the situation in the Holy Roman Empire, Randy decisively gave up this tempting idea, because it was too terrifying, the entire territory of the Holy Roman Empire, including Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, and Northern Italy in the 21st century, this terrifying territory area can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands, even millions of troops.

Moreover, the electors of the Holy Roman Empire are very united, no matter how divided they are, once the outside forces join in and want a piece of the pie, they will temporarily put aside their hatred and unite to strip the poor fellow to the bone.

According to historical records, Attila, the king of Hungary who unified the Kingdom of Hungary, ran rampant in the Balkans, commanded 100,000 men who controlled the strings, and even forced the Eastern Roman Empire to pay tribute to him.

Originally, according to Attila's plan, this divided country with constant civil wars would never be able to resist the combined forces of his murderers and Magyars, and after controlling the Holy Roman Empire, he could be crowned Holy Roman Emperor, and use this foundation to break hands with the Eastern Roman Empire, and even make a great foundation that Alexander the Great did not do.

However...... The Hungarian king miscalculated.

The princes of the Holy Roman Empire, whose heads were turned into dogs' heads in the civil war, seemed to have changed at the moment of the invasion of foreign enemies, and directly elected Barbarossa, the Duke of Swabia, as the leader of the alliance, and then formed an allied army of 400,000 including 7,500 knights and tens of thousands of heavy cavalry, and beat the Hungarians violently.

At the same time, a violent rebellion broke out in the newly occupied lands of Hungary, the Rus' took the opportunity to become independent, established Novgorod and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, two political entities, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania took the opportunity to regain lost territory, the Eastern Romans were not to be outdone, and seized the suzerainty of Serbia and Transylvania, and Bulgaria decisively reneged on the alliance and sent troops to plunder Hungary proper.

In this way, a country that was originally considered a super-first-class power in continental Europe was beaten back to its prototype overnight, according to insiders, the Hungarian king Attila, who was originally less than forty years old, aged rapidly during this time, and his appearance was definitely more than sixty years old.

Randy shuddered, what kind of person Attila the Hun Emperor was, Randy naturally knew very well, the ranking second only to Alexander back then, made this nomadic leader who exuded a terrifying aura from top to bottom add a bit of brilliance.

Randy doesn't think that the territory under his control can be stabilized by people, his army can fight better than others, and he has learned from the past, and Randy doesn't want the Norman kingdom he built with great difficulty to fall apart.

Then, there is only Eastern Europe next.

Eastern Europe, around the Baltic Sea, once gave birth to the earliest commercial and customs union, that is, the famous Hanseatic League,

The plains of Eastern Europe are dense, more suitable for cavalry galloping, when the Polish winged cavalry was the world's might, at the same time, Poland, Ukraine, and are known as the fertile land of the granary of Europe.

In fact, before the Industrial Revolution, in the 16th and 17th centuries, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania was the first power on the European continent.

Although in the end the United Kingdom, because of its political system, perished, it was a human error, not a land fault, and Eastern Europe has always been a treasure trove of great powers.

What was it in the Middle Ages?

Money!

Grain!

And the Baltic Sea, which occupies the Eastern European ring, then the problem of money and food can be solved, and more importantly, the various countries that have previously entered the Baltic coastal game, the Teutonic Knights, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, Sweden, Novgorod, and the contradictions between these countries are extremely acute, and Randy can use his strength to form an alliance with several of them, instead of being united and beaten as in Central Europe.

Randy chose Eastern Europe as the direction of future development, and firmly believed that if Eastern Europe was managed well, it would definitely not be inferior to France, the Holy Roman Empire, two behemoths in Western and Central Europe, and maybe Constantinople was also close at hand.

However, now these are all imaginary, and what is currently close at hand is not the endless wealth of Constantinople, but the menacing Swedes, Randy's previous prediction, whether it is a king's hegemony or a pipe dream, just look at this time.

War, war, war!

What else could there be besides war in the Middle Ages?

In the Norwegian Black Forest, the vanguard of both sides, the Finnish light cavalry and Randy's newly recruited patrol cavalry encountered, followed by the exchange of spears and sabers, a fight quickly began, the Finnish cavalry wearing light leather soft armor and boat-shaped iron helmets were all the elites who followed Gustav to the Baltic coast, and their quality, armament, and morale were not at all comparable to Randy's newly recruited patrol cavalry.

The end result was very disheartening, fifty cavalry scouts versus fifty cavalry scouts, and in the end the Finnish light cavalry was killed and one wounded, and the patrol cavalry lost forty-six and four escaped......

However, just as the Finnish light cavalry was talking and laughing and dismounting, picking up the trophies left by the dead, especially the horses, suddenly there were several sounds of breaking the air from the diagonal rear, and the well-trained Finnish light cavalry could naturally hear that it was the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air.

Before they could react, they heard several muffled grunts, the sounds of a few unlucky ghosts being shot through their throats.

Looking at the wails of pain as their former companions clutched the shafts of arrows inserted into their throats, several hussars could not hold back any longer and drew their swords to end their suffering.

Then there were several more sounds of arrows breaking through the air, and this time the light cavalry had already prepared, quickly squatted down, raised their shields to protect their heads.

Dingdingding......

A few more fell in pain, and the feathers of the arrows pierced through the round shields of the cavalrymen, this time still in the throats.

"Damn! Launched! Disperse! Cut down these bastards who sneak up on them and put cold arrows! ”

The leader of the light cavalry brandished his saber and roared, and was soon brought down by an arrow, and the Finnish light cavalry was in an uproar, shouting and angry, straddled on horseback, and scattered in groups of a dozen or so.

Then it's all gone!

The last group of light cavalry that escaped was only three people, and they swore that they would encounter an invisible enemy in the forest, and they could not find any trace of them in any way, and could only hear the sound of the bow being wound not far away and the screams of their companions, and this elite light cavalry unit died in the Black Forest in great humiliation.

"The other must have received God, no! It is Satan's blessing,"

The last hussar, after saying this, was beheaded by Gustavus, who looked gloomy as water.
