On this day, in May, early summer, the grass grows and the warbler flies and blooms. Egil got the news when he took his wife out of town to hunt and fight in the countryside.

"It's fun to stay at home and play bridge – but there is no air conditioning, no fans, and no refrigerators. At such a time, it can heat people to death. It's a bit unbearable to stay at home...... If you had known, you should have asked someone to dig some ice in the winter, and then build an ice cellar underneath to store it. ”

At this moment, after nearly a year and a half of imperialist decay, Egil has completely forgotten the teachings of the new China. reduced to a qualified feudal king who lived by oppressing the toiling masses and enjoyed himself.

It's just that along the way, Egil's face is not very good. Half of the reason is because of the weather, I don't know what's going on this year. The sun in May is already so hot. And the other half of the reason is because of the wife next to him.

The couple didn't bring much of an entourage, and the total number of them was only three hundred and fifty. One hundred and fifty of them were Guards Knights, and the other two hundred were Sherwood Marksmen - of course, this time they didn't come out to entertain them, so although the Guards Knights were eager to try, and Sherwood Marksmen wanted to sit down for a while - Egir gave the order with great cruelty, no. According to the newly published National Law on Mountain Forestry, all the mountains and mines are owned by the state, that is, Egil. Therefore, all the prey in this grove naturally belongs to Egil. So whoever dares to poach is against the law. If you catch it, you have to chop your hands. The Sherwood marksmen are now also the ones who eat the Emperor's Food. Naturally, they will not defy the law.

However, Egil was not satisfied—not because the movement of the hundreds of people was so great that it scared away the prey or something—in fact the Sherwood marksmen were good at stealth, and their camouflage outfits were scented with grass, and they barely made much noise.

What Egil was really dissatisfied with was that his wife was still better than him in terms of bows and arrows.

But it's also a matter of course. Egil didn't rely on the system to cheat this time. And just relied on himself to learn a little, and by the way, he relied on the cheating weapon of the wrench. Naturally, I can't play professionally.,Artoria has been practicing arching horses desperately since she started to be sensible.。

But in the end, Egil still relied on hand-to-hand combat with a timberwolves to save a little face. Looking at the lame old wolf who was almost in tears, he almost said it: I just came out to beat the lame old wolf with soy sauce, Egil did not show mercy, and directly grabbed the command knife and slashed it. The lame old wolf still wanted to fight back. But Egil's strange plate armor seemed to burst his teeth wherever he bit it. And the hundreds of people who ran over to watch also made this lone old wolf feel very stressed. So in the end, Egil finally relied on invulnerable armor and an unusually sharp saber to shamelessly kill the disabled old wolf.

"Come, everybody applaud. Egir said this proudly, not ashamed, but proud, and then there was a round of applause around him.

Just then, a spy - either a spy or a killer - appeared, handed Egil a parchment and calmly retreated. After that, Egil raised an eyebrow. He snorted, "Today's hunt is canceled." Then he got on his horse and ran in the direction of London.

"What!?"

Completely ignoring the whining voice of his wife behind him, Egil rode back to London as fast as he could. During the collision, it is unknown how many were killed and injured. Of course, that wasn't the point, and Egil didn't really do the math at all - he had only one thought in his head right now.

Get back. Go back to Northern Europe. Go back to that snowy Scandinavia.

The British Isles are also part of the north. But the climate is nothing compared to the Scandinavian peninsula where Egil is located. Still, Egil slightly underestimated the gentle drain on the hero's will in the Southland. If this hadn't happened, he would have said goodbye to the lovely path of conquering the world.

There was only one thing written on the parchment: Sweden and Denmark formed a coalition and marched into Norway on the grounds that Egil was arrogant and claimed to be the king of all the Normans. Ready to level the country in one fell swoop.

The timing chosen by the two coalition forces was very wrong. Egil's main army was still in the British Isles. And some time ago, there was news of a rebellion in the League of Nobles in England, and Egil was in a difficult situation both internally and externally (not everyone has a pigeon spy network like Egil. You can get information very quickly. The other two Nordic countries did not know that the League of Nobles had been extinguished by Egil). It's a good time to march.

The coalition consisted of 35,000 Swedish troops—all of whom had followed Gustav for several years on the Baltic coast. Plus more than 10,000 Danish troops. Follow the route of last year's invasion and get ready to nibble on the hard bone of Oslo again.

Eventually, Egil's spy network and his newly recruited home garrison saved him, so that the situation in Norway would not collapse all at once. Despite this, the local garrison was eventually too small to abandon Bergen and concentrate most of its main force at Biard. A small number of troops garrisoned Oslo. Block the opponent's attacks with the fortified city.

When Egil received the letter, it said that the other party had been besieging the city for more than three days. Although it is still alive for the time being. But the situation is worrying.

"Damn it, I haven't provoked you yet, but you've come to provoke me. Egil said to himself. Immediately after that, he quickly ordered the spy leader who came over quickly: "Hurry up and send someone to call Carter over to me, and the navy is ready." It's good that Britain leaves 5,000 garrisons, and the main force will go back to Northern Europe with me!"

The spy leader nodded, withdrew, and walked in again after a while, apparently having ordered a spy to report the news.

At this moment, Egil was sitting in his palace study. When he thought of the fall of the whole of Norway, the two cities of Bergen and Biard, the best developed, and the destruction of the largest fortress Oslo, he longed to fly back to Northern Europe at once. Whether it is the toll tax on the Öresund waterway, or the cities that have developed in Northern Europe, the population and the land are all that Egir cannot give away in any way. Now, however, he can't do anything. Needless to say, that feeling is uncomfortable.

At this time, after reading the contents of the parchment scroll, Artoria also understood the seriousness of the matter. looked at her husband's anxious look, and said comfortingly: "Okay, although I haven't been to Northern Europe." But from what you've told me before, Oslo and Biard have good defenses. There was also a sufficient garrison and sufficient food and ordnance reserves. Follow our relationship with the dwarves. It is also impossible for them to get siege machinery support from this race. So in this way, these two cities can be defended for at least half a year. And the return of our army will only take a month or two. Catch up. ”

After listening to Artoria's reassurance, Egil was slightly relieved. Seeing the nameless who walked in, he then asked: "Is there any news about the negotiations with Novgorod?"

"It's difficult. Nameless replied: "Prince Rurik of Novgorod seems to be frightened by the Swedes." And at this time, Novgorod's national strength has not recovered. Therefore, they are not interested in such a proposal to unite with us to attack Sweden. Although he has been promised a lot of benefits. But the man was still unmoved. Plus this time, the Swedes took the initiative to attack us...... I'm afraid ......"

"Well, you're wrong. Egil sneered, "If the other party was really smart, he would have agreed to our alliance's request." Unless, of course, there is a spectacular turn on the battlefield. Otherwise, the support of the other party will remain verbal...... Hum. ”

Egil is again a conspiracy theory of heart-to-heart. The spy leader bowed his head deeply. I didn't dare to say a word. On the other side, Artoria nodded in agreement. I can't help but feel that it's not a family that doesn't enter a door......

At this moment, Northern Europe, above Scandinavia. The army of 5,000 recruited by Egil through the system was divided into two parts, and 3,500 men were stationed in the city of Biard. Fifteen hundred men garrisoned the more dangerous Oslo.

Speaking of which, a total of 4,000 professional Viking warriors and 1,000 crossbowmen, such a pure infantry composition does not have any strong surnames and strong offensive capabilities. From the very beginning, it was designed to be a garrison of the city. And the general of the garrison of 5,000 people, a four-star general Anderson, also understood his task. Therefore, from the very beginning, when he received the news of the large-scale attack of the two coalition forces, he decided to hold on to the strategy. In the end, the actual combat also proved that such a strategy was correct. Although Bergen to the north was breached after holding out for a short time. However, the cities of Biard and Oslo remain rock solid. It looks like it's okay to be on guard for a year and a half.

However, the other party did not seem to be impatient, and the large amount of wealth plundered in Bergen also strengthened the other party's belief in continuing the siege. The money-fed Swedish army has been overwhelmed by the recent three-shift siege of the city, and while Anderson is more eager to see the return of reinforcements......
