Chapter 36: The Legendary ...... War doves?

So, as always, basically the system sprite is unreliable. Egil can only work alone.

"Hmm...... Well...... Uh-huh, uh-huh, ......"

"Are you constipated?"

"No, I actually came up with a pretty good name. ”

"Eh, it seems like you've devoted all your experience to the cause of abduction and murder. Can there still be even a milligram of art cells in his head?" So the current mood of the system genie is quite bad.

Of course, just ignore that.

So, Egil opened the interface of the system and used his finger as a paintbrush - although he had not been trained in any kind of painting technique such as sketching, watercolor, oil painting, and Chinese painting. But I still have a little bit of crayon drawing ability in kindergarten. In addition, the pattern drawn was very simple, so in the end, the system barely recognized the thing.

"Like...... Well, it's a pigeon?" the system elf used the interrogative statement uncertainly.

"That's right, it's a pigeon. Egil was very proud—of course, I didn't quite understand why he was so proud......

"Dark blue background, and doves with olive branches in their mouths. That's the flag I've chosen. Egil said.

"Are you going to be a World Peace Organization instead?" asked the System Elf.

"It's not—oh. Egil was still in a state of great pride: "May I ask you, what is the reason why the pigeon flies on the surface of the sea with an olive branch in its mouth?"

"Noah's Ark. ”

"That's right, the extermination of humanity -- the catastrophe -- the thirst for the land -- the great seafaring technology. Isn't that a Viking commensurate with that?" said Egil.

“......”

So, the system elf created the pattern that Egil had imagined in fragments. After Egil was satisfied, he dyed the pattern on the flags of all towns throughout Norway, as well as on the military flags.

"That's pretty much it. Good luck, stupid pigeon. The system elf still said angrily.

"And the discovery of the New World and greed. Egil added in a whisper. But his face was still very happy.

At this point, the Duchy of Norway became history, and the Kingdom of Norway was officially established - in July of the same year, the millennium, the first king of the Kingdom of Norway, Egil I, and his dwarven allies formed a coalition of armies.

Compared to this, the dwarves are much simpler: take revenge, and die, elves!

As a result, a total of 8,850 Norwegian Army, 3,400 Norwegian Navy, and nearly 20,000 dwarven warriors, a total of 30,000 troops, the Nordic coalition army rode nearly 500 warships all the way to England.

At this moment, the land of England is still full of war...... Ireland, United Kingdom of Wales vs England vs Scotland. The War of the Three Kingdoms was a mess. Although England, with its overwhelming dominance in territory, population and resources, currently has the upper hand - the trend towards an alliance between the United Kingdom and Scotland is becoming more and more apparent......

If the charge of the Scottish Highlanders, blessed by the bleak tones of the Scottish organ, was enough to crush any front, then the Elven longbow technique used by the Welsh, combined with the elite warriors raised in the mountains, formed an impregnable defence. Such a combination of spear and shield could not be taken lightly even by the mighty kingdom of England.

It was in this situation that Egil's coalition forces landed on the Auckland Islands, a snow-capped and frozen island under the control of the Norwegians. Temporary camps and wooden forts were built here. After this, Diplomat No. 1 sent an envoy to Edinburgh with a letter from Egil.

"I have brought with me an army of more than thirty thousand, including powerful and furious Viking warriors, and heavily armored dwarven warriors. Do you want to be my friend or my enemy?"

King Kenneth I of Scotland was speechless for a long time when he saw this short letter, which was perfectly worded and written, and then asked: "Excuse me, Your Lordship...... Is that the new King of Norway, Your Majesty Egil?"

"Indeed, Your Majesty the King. The diplomat said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"What, then, does he want? What are his conditions—you know, we highlanders are in a difficult situation right now. It's really in the doldrums. But this does not mean that we will surrender easily! Even if it is destroyed, we will drag those invaders with us and let them see the ambition of our highlanders!"

Kenneth I's bold words were not at all impressed by the number one. After all, he is a diplomat from a real brand. Such a threat was not enough to shake its mind.

"Your Majesty is generous and heroic, and the highland warriors are heroic, and I admire them very much. However, if Your Majesty wants to oppose my lord, it is wrong...... A smart person should not turn someone who could have been a friend into an opponent. The diplomat said.

"Hmph...... If they were really friends, they would not have appeared on the doorstep of the Highlanders with such a large army. So said the King of Scotland.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, do you just see the crisis that this event brings, but you don't see the opportunity that this event has for you......? The war between you and the English now...... It doesn't seem to have an advantage. ”

"The affairs of the highlanders, the highlanders themselves can solve it. The King of Scotland waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Well, if our Norwegian army turns around and allied itself with England, and uses its naval superiority to constantly attack the coasts of Scotland and Ireland...... And how can you solve it?" asked Diplomat One.

"I don't know what the fate of Scotland will be—but if that were the case, I would kill you!" said the King of Scotland, in a sinister voice.

"No, no, no...... Your Majesty, you still get a question of order wrong...... It will be Your Majesty who will kill me first, and then my Norwegian army will become the enemy of Scotland. The envoy's attitude of not being humble or arrogant made the Scottish king a little helpless.

"Tell me about your conditions. ”

So, I finally relented.

Diplomat Number smiled confidently, and then said, "Thirty thousand troops, a total of thirty thousand of the most elite Vikings and Dwarven warriors, will help Your Majesty win the war with England." ”

"What price, then, do I have to pay?" asked the King of Scotland.

"It's just a small, insignificant, and useless desert island. Then the diplomat took out a beautiful map drawn on a parchment scroll and pointed to the King of Scotland. Your Majesty, please see.

"Auckland, Hebrides, Isle of Skye, Isle of Cole. It's just these barren places. ”

However, the Scottish king on the other side had long since lost his mind to what the diplomat was talking about. Just staring blankly at the map in the diplomat's hand - it was a 1:50 million detailed map of the British Isles produced by the system - in an era when this kind of mapping technology was completely absent, it was simply priceless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" It was not until the diplomat took back the map that the King of Scotland recovered from his shock and greed.

Then came the feeling of unusual terror.

"It seems that Norwegians are not watching the British Isles for a day or two – no, that's not the point. The point is why they were able to draw such a beautiful map?! It's as if God could only see it when he was standing in the sky and looking down on the ground...... This, this ......" didn't even know what to say for a while.

It's as if some natives saw the globe for the first time and sighed: Ah, the earth is actually round. So why don't we fall off when we stand on it?

Provided, of course, that he would believe it.

Of course, there's no reason not to believe it.

At the repeated urging of the diplomats, the King of Scotland remembered to get down to business.

"Barren islands?!" said His Majesty the King, who had linked the locations of the islands mentioned by Diplomat One, into an arc. How does your sister look like a siege net? Barren your sister, barren your sister, your sister, your sister?

"I can agree to your terms. Eventually, however, His Majesty, after much deliberation, agreed to the other party's terms, after all, although they were well said. But looking at the strength of the other side - including the large army of 30,000 and a small map. Add to that the recent activity of Norwegian pirates. His Majesty knew what would happen to his refusal.

"Trust me, you made an exceptionally shrewd decision. "The diplomatic corps once again pulled out of its bosom a duplicate treaty, the transfer of the islands, the alliance between the two sides, and the Norwegian army to help Scotland defeat England. Even the demarcation line between the two sides to divide the territory of England was written. Below is Egil's stamp, also a pigeon with an olive branch in his mouth.

"Please sign both contracts. His Majesty took one copy himself, while the other was brought back to his lord by the minister. ”

"Hmm. So, the king of Scotland nodded, but this guy was not as generous as Egil, and he had a signet ring reward issued by the system. And it doesn't look like literacy either. But people can do it - it's their thumbs, and a bottle of ink that looks like it's been a long time old and tastes strange......

In this way, the alliance between Norway and Scotland against England was formalized. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but both sides deliberately ignored the other Scottish ally in the covenant. Ireland-United Kingdom of Wales......
