Denmark's problem solved. Egil was also very generous in handing over a ruined Holstein to Otto I. Otto I was overjoyed and went there for a turn, and was speechless as he saw the people withering and devastation. I also have a clear understanding of Egil's destructive ability. At the same time, I was secretly jealous and at the same time, I also had in my heart: "You should discipline this Nordic barbarian, what is called etiquette." "Such thoughts.

In short, after a detailed examination of Holstein's condition, Otto I had lost all the pleasure of taking advantage of him. Holstein is now like a piece of chicken ribs, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless. Otto I was torn out what to do with this territory. There was even a time when it was born: to return this territory to the Danes. Such thoughts.

After this, Otto I wrote another letter to Egir, in which he complained much about his misuse of Holstein's virtue, and said that he needed more compensation.

So, Egil replied: Denmark said that the Germanic Peninsula was to be ceded by the king. Please feel free to taste it.

Otto I almost lost his breath - all parts of the Deland Peninsula were like Holstein, and even if it took some effort to beat it, it would be useless. Patches of saline-alkali land, you give me funds to deal with it?

As a result, Otto I lost interest in this territory and concentrated all his energies on the war against the three rivals to the south, the three electors of Bohemia, Austria and Swabia. Intended to unify the Holy Roman Empire.

After receiving such news from the spy, Egil breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the effect of spoiling the entire Deland peninsula into this state is already beginning to be revealed. It is one aspect that Denmark will not be able to recover for a long time and join the Nordic game. At the same time, let the equally greedy and more powerful Holy Roman Empire in the south lose interest in northern Europe and turn around to keep the Norwegians safe. This is also an aspect. Kill two birds with one stone.

"Then the next step is to confront the Swedes. After spending nearly a week dividing the Danish nobles of the Terran Peninsula into three camps, and dividing the three dukes of Upper Teresa, Middle Teresa, and Lower Teresa, and after a brief diplomatic confrontation with Otto I, the Norwegian army had also rested. It's time to go on the offensive. At the same time, through the spy network, the Norwegian pirates, based on the island of Gotland, also carried out several attacks on the Swedish coast.

Speaking of which, the capabilities of the Swedish Navy are not bad, having gone through a few rounds in Carter's hands. But in the end, he was defeated by the might of the improved ballista battleship. Soon after, Sweden's narrow coastline became a paradise infested with Vikings. Because the main forces are all on an expedition. Therefore, the garrison in Sweden at this moment is also extremely weak. The Vikings easily succeeded a few times. Even approached Stockholm several times. It was only in the end that the Finnish light cavalry on the Swedish side harassed and resisted. It didn't work out.

Under such a situation, the morale of the Swedish military will be affected to a certain extent. Finland because of the long time it took to merge with Sweden. Coupled with King Gustav's skillful ability to fight and pull the Finns and hire a large number of Finnish hussars to serve him, it was fairly stable - but the Swedish newly ceded Pskov and Petrozavodsk, as well as the forcibly annexed Estonian regions, were all in turmoil. The local Rus' princes and nobles all had ill intentions and wanted to restore their autonomy.

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

Egil was confident that when his army marched north and held back Gustav, the Eastern European giants would flock to regain the land that Sweden had ceded on the Eastern European Highway. Norway, Novgorod, and the Teutonic Knights will not be allied. Divide the wealth and land of Sweden together.

It's just that there's a little bit of a small problem here.

When everything was ready, Egil suddenly heard the bad news - the Norwegian capital Biard had fallen, and the 1,500 defenders had been wiped out. The Swedish army, which had been badly wounded in the siege, brazenly slaughtered the city and stopped in three days.

"It's over. It's over, it's over, it's over. When he heard the news, Egil felt that the world was spinning, and if it weren't for the quick help of Artoria next to him, he would have been ashamed.

"What the hell is going on?!How could he have captured Biard so quickly?!" Nervous as she watched her husband muttering to himself alone. Artoria gripped Egil tightly with one hand and questioned Nameless loudly.

The spy leader bowed his head deeply, completely afraid to face the murderous and unblinking Her Royal Highness. At the same time, he whispered: "It is said that after the other party ransacked Bergen, they attacked from north to south, and the military camp troops were also deployed on the northern city wall, and they attacked non-stop all night. On the south side, the walls remained silent. General Anderson put all the defenders to the north, and then ......"

"--Waste, rice bucket!!" Egil suddenly regained his strength and yelled at Anderson, who had hung up. Hit a Hitlerian temper tantrum hard. After that, I felt relieved.

"Go, send me someone...... Assassinate, kill that guy for me!" Egir ordered through gritted teeth.

"This ...... Is it the King of Sweden?" asked Nameless.

"Who else but him?!Do you want to be angry with me?!Get out of !!" Immediately after, Egil picked up the priceless oriental porcelain teacup on the table and threw it directly in front of Nameless. Seeing that the things worth hundreds of gold coins had become scum all over the place, the spy leader felt a chill in his flesh and at the same time, and he ran away without a trace.

"Where is the king of a country so easy to kill. Artoria complained, "But you can also give it a try." After all, not every king is like you, who carries a large number of guards knights and killer bodyguards around the clock. ”

"I hope it works. Egil sighed softly, followed by a look of unwillingness.

"What the hell is going on?, is that city important?" asked Artoria, curiously.

"The city of Biard isn't too important. Egir smiled reluctantly, and then said: "The point is that it is the capital of Norway, which contains all the taxes I have paid for the last two years since I unified Norway, as well as the taxes on the Öresund waterways and the profits from trade with Italy and Eastern Rome...... As a result, all of a sudden it was gone. ”

"How much exactly?" Artoria asked directly.

“...... More than 400,000. ”

“...... Credits?"

"Gold coins. ”

“......”

Immediately after that, Artoria also went berserk.

"More than 400,000 people?!

"Hmm. ”

"Waste, rice bucket !!!!" This time Artoria directly overturned the table. A complete set of porcelain tea sets from the East fell directly to the ground and became tatters.

In Artoria's mind, Egil's things, whatever they were, had half of their own. Then there are 200,000 of your own in the 400,000 gold coins. The Celts are poor. Since Artoria ascended the throne, the treasury was at its richest and only twenty or thirty thousand gold coins. As a result, I heard that my husband was a loser and lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins at once-I wiped it, is this going to die?!

"Hurry up, send troops to slaughter that guy and get the gold back!!!" Artoria said through gritted teeth, grabbing Egil's collar directly.

"Shut up, old bitch!" Egir's most dissatisfaction with Artoria was that she was too much to eat, and that she could afford too much money, which of course might be a common problem of women. To make beautiful clothes, you have to buy oriental silk and porcelain. Italian glassware, Byzantine paintings...... and so on. The palace expenses will definitely not be able to come down without three thousand gold coins a month. Egil is not easy to mess with. It's okay when you're usually fine. When she was in a bad mood for a while, Artoria stabbed again. Egil was also annoyed.

Eventually, the two sides exchanged views in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, which began after the knights of the guards next to them shrugged their shoulders and left......

Half an hour later.

"Damn it...... Why...... If the body recovers as before, a hundred of you tied together are not my opponents, bastard. Artoria, who was pressed underneath Egil, had a pained and happy (?) expression.

"So...... It's all shadowless things...... Aren't you losing now?" Egil, who pressed Artoria underneath, also had a bitterly happy (?) expression.

"Why, isn't it......" Although Artoria struggled hard, she gave people a half-pushed feeling. In layman's terms, it is: "The mouth says no, but the body is very honest." "That's it.

Eventually, after wasting two precious hours, the husband and wife finally came to an agreement, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance at full speed in the direction of Biard. Kill all the Swedes and get all the gold back!

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, continued to move south under the strict supervision of King Gustav. The two sides are about to meet......
