Eventually, the Battle of Bergen ended in a very ironic way, after the commanders of both sides were killed.

Egir finally realized his language, and Count Felix held it up for nearly half an hour, after which the head was cut off by the vicious Viking warriors, who, as is customary, picked up a severed spear from the ground and stuck it in it.

The next day, Olaf III's death was officially confirmed. For this reason, the battle is called by some: a battle without a winner.

Of course, in fact such a statement is not true. If you take a closer look, the two most powerful candidates for the Grand Duke in Norway not only did not become the Grand Duke, but even took their lives. And their followers, who were almost all the nobles of Norway, who had lost their troops and lost their strength as a result - were also unlucky, and they were killed by the same fate.

Nearly 10,000 civilians in Norway were killed in this battle, and the loss of these young and middle-aged laborers will have a deep impact on their families. Even those who were lucky enough to survive the catastrophe were so cold and starved that they might have to die - even those who were really okay went back to their homes. has delayed the farm work for the past few days, and it can't be said to be a pit.

In this way, all of Norway, from top to bottom, from nobles to commoners, was in mourning. If this war can decide a new Norwegian duke, it will be counted. It's all the hard work. However, since this war has not been decided. That means that the war will continue in the future. The nobles and commoners who figured this out all sincerely felt that they had lost a lot of money.

And yet there are still people who are happy. There are still people who are moving against the tide, and there are still people who are pushing themselves against the masses of the people.

That man's name was Egil, and he was the lord of the uptown city of Biard, Norway.

He was also the earl of Biard.

and, Olaf III's newly appointed Prime Minister of Norway.

In this war, he reaped enough spoils, plundered many serfs, and because the top lords died, he was given the opportunity to crown himself as an earl.

-- However, there is a little, a slight question here -- Olaf III has been hung up -- how did he appoint Egil as Prime Minister of Norway? Could it be that he had commissioned some angel to deliver the message in heaven?

Egil's own explanation for this was that he had previously sent a letter to his "first" sovereign, promising him to defect, and then the "first" sovereign promised that if Egil helped him to achieve a final victory, he would canonize Egil as the prime minister of Norway, Count Biard, and canonize him half of the southern Count Felix's domain, including the city of Oslo, as his hereditary domain.

Of course it's all fake.

But since the person concerned is dead, then he will say whatever he wants.

And so, Egil got a new caste, and he was a real one: what you bastard said and promised, it was basically the same as the squid's ink. +1 Morale, +5% Popular Support, +1 Shameless.

Coupled with the caste Egil gained in this battle, a qualified general has evolved into a good general: you reluctantly agreed to a few battles - maybe it's just your luck, don't be too proud bastard, Domination +2, and Betrayer: Shameless villain, Capricious!, Shameless +1, Brutal +1, Night Warrior: Male surname, normal. +1 for commanding operations at night, Egil has a fruitful battle.

Domination, because of the three surnames of natural generals, excellent generals, and shameless commanders, has grown to five points. If you add the night battle, as well as the infantry, cavalry generals, it's seven o'clock, it's very high, and the rank of the famous general is there?! If it's a garrison battle, and the commander is +1, that's eight o'clock to dominate!(This surname can be increased to twenty stars at the most).

Brutal words, add a little more, look gloomy, don't treat NPCs as people, ruthless slaughter, shameless commanders, betrayers, a total of eight points.

Faith, the belief of the Middle Ages, is very important, but because of a person like Egil, it is absolutely absolutely impossible for someone to really believe in any god. Therefore, faith is divided into two branches: the surface and the inside.

Faith (table): +1 for Seeming Piety, +1 for building churches, +2 for spreading doctrines, for a total of four points. It's not high, but it's barely passable.

Faith (Li): Traverser, born under the red flag, grew up in a new society, can you [***] believe in anything other than Marx?!-3, seems to be pious: You pseudo-believer, let people find out the evidence, otherwise they will barbecue you!-2, secretly study heresy, and sacrifice yourself for science and technology-Everyone, there is an evil alchemist here!Hurry up, !-2, and as a result, Egil's faith (Li) has reached the strange level of minus seven points. But he doesn't care about it, anyway, whether the surname or something is written on his face or not.

As the boss of a faction, what kind of ability should you have the most? Win all battles? Wrong, that's what generals should do. Extreme piety, that's what the clergy should do. It doesn't matter if you're not good at the soldiers, as long as you are good at the generals. If the management is high, then the security of the forces, the loyalty of the people, and the taxation will be correspondingly increased, the bureaucracy [***] will be reduced, and the society will develop rapidly. And vice versa:

Traverser, you know some messy knowledge that is ahead of its time, some of which may come in handy, +2, build a bureaucracy, build and maintain a bureaucracy, and not rely on those hereditary nobles to govern the country, GJ. +2。 You have a certain amount of administrative experience, you have a certain amount of experience in governing the country, you know that development is the last word+1, the country is based on agriculture, the right way in the Middle Ages, let those mercantilist people die!+1.

This was the first time Egil had paid attention to the caste, but it still looked quite tall, well, yes, quite tall. That's six points in total. has surpassed the vast majority of medieval monarchs. But Egil also saw a note that to build a bureaucracy, you have to have a tax collector, a tribune, a mayor (mayor), and a judge in every city you control - in order for this to work.

That's right.

Below is the prestige of the caste, as a monarch is prestige, as other figures are loyalty-if you are not loyal enough, you may be bought by others, and even spontaneously rebel - of course, if you are a monarch of high prestige, then the rebellion will decrease.

Born to be in a position, I don't know why, but you seem to be very suitable to stand on the stage and give orders+1;A famous victory, whether it's luck or something else, congratulations+1;Earl, a nobleman with a fief and an official title!+2;Faction leader: Although it is only a small faction, it is better to be the head of the chicken than the mouth of the cow!+2.

In this way, Egil has six points of prestige, and he is still a guy who is less than the top and more than the bottom.

And the last caste, and the strangest one of Egil's, the so-called shameless, is not known to be of any use. Shameless Commander +1, Honest Commander +1, Betrayer +1, for a total of three points.

In addition, there are a few others that do not belong to any caste, greedy for life and fear of death, morale -1, improved food popular +15% and so on. Together with several other castes, Egil found that his popularity was also high. And the system also prompted that he is now the most prestigious person in all of Norway.

That is, the throne of the legendary king of Norway is getting closer.

Why don't you send a priest on a pilgrimage to Rome and bribe the pope?" Egil thought about it for a moment, and then saw the Battlefield Order that was eating with the Viking warriors. He shook his head silently.

If you send these bastards, you're going to screw it up.

The army stayed on the outskirts of Bergen for several days - but the other nobles of Bergen had no intention of opening the gates of the city and letting the army into the city. The contradiction between the two sides was inevitable after Egil himself declared that he was the prime minister in Olaf III's will and wanted to "entrust" the domain of the first monarch.

For the time being, Egil still has nothing to do with these guys - although Bergen is not a high city and the pond is not deep, there are still quite a few soldiers and rice millet or something. The previous war had been won by the Bergen faction - and now there were nearly two thousand professional soldiers in the city, as well as several thousand omen peasants. Such a number cannot be conquered with 3,000 soldiers alone. Unless he has some "special" props.

It is said that ballistas and catapults can be used in their own territory. However, it is necessary to build the projection workshop in advance, and it will take some time to build these siege equipment and recruit engineering troops.

A month, almost.

After thinking about it for a moment, Egir stood up sharply, raised the wooden wine glass in his hand, and then stood up with one foot on the table, and the yellow, bubbling ale spilled a little bit inside. He shouted, "Tomorrow, let's go back to Biard!" and seemed to drown out the commotion of the entire barracks.

After that, a round of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the barracks. The Vikings did think they had looted and killed enough. Then you should indeed go back to your lair, rest and wait for the next expedition, killing and plundering......

The goal is Bergen. The goal is to break the city. After the Breach of the City...... The soldiers said three times, how?
