You and me under the world tree

For them living in the Netherlands, 'war' seems to be very far away.

"Fortunately, we have an excellent His Majesty the King, who kept those disasters out of the kingdom."

Then, unconsciously, and without knowing who started to take the lead, this 'hero story' from abroad somehow became a tribute to the king at home.

And only the people of the Netherlands can really appreciate the fanaticism behind this seemingly inappropriate thing.

He ended his cowardice.

He waged a war of extermination.

He restored the glory of the fathers.

He always has the lives of the people in mind.

The existence of such a king made the people have a natural sense of superiority in their hearts - just like the attitude of the people of the once powerful Gothic kingdom to the outside world.

However, they do not have any fanatical attitude towards war.

On the one hand, their lord Siegfried openly stated that he never liked war.

On the other hand, the Raven Legion is stationed around the small town of Strath and is responsible for guarding the border.

And a few years ago, in the war of annihilation launched against Burgundy, the Raven Legion was not without losses.

Many people have made great military exploits and returned home in fine clothes.

But there were also people who died in battle, and in the end only the corpses were transported back, and heaven and man were separated forever.

They must have tasted the sweetness brought by the war, but the sadness of eternal separation also exists.

No one will forget the faces of those young and vigorous boys.

But quite a few of them have now become tombstones one after another.

In the end, countless emotions finally converged into a simple prayer:

"If only this peace could last forever."

"There should be no more wars in this world. We can live well without wars."

It is this simple desire that is revealed in this bistro.

After going through the pain, I have less longing for the so-called rich and glorious situation.

When they really tasted the pain of 'loss', all they prayed for was the word 'peace'.

They thought so.

But can reality really do what they want?

No one noticed that in that tavern, a man kept his back to those bards.

Wearing a black cloak, he looked full of mystery.

Under the cloak, the metal sheet of the armor reveals the extraordinary level of identity.

However, such a dress did not attract any attention.

"A bottle of iced fruit wine, I'll take it away."

"Okay!"

After hearing such a voice, the tavern owner who came back to his senses ran to the ice storage in the cellar.

There are plenty of ice blocks provided by the kingdom.

After taking out a bottle of fruit wine, the tavern owner ran back.

"Your wine."

However, when he looked up, he found that there was no one in that seat.

Meanwhile, a shiny gold coin lay on the table.

"Hey, guest!"

He couldn't help raising his voice.

"You gave too much!"

However, when the tavern owner ran all the way out the door, no one was found.

Outside the small town of Strath, the soldiers under the darkness were just drinking fruit wine.

Meanwhile, his cloudy eyes gazed at the sky.

"Although there are deviations from the original idea, this is the best result."

Chapter 90: Open the door!

Originally according to the original plan and arrangement, Elmrich, an old thing that even his elder brother who had taken care of him for a long time, could turn his back on him, still had a very important role.

That is to serve as a barrier to block the attack of Eastern Hungary.

In fact, if there were no major accidents, what Dietrich herself needed to do was to completely deal with the Kingdom of Denmark.

Maybe the gods above the sky will take action, but it doesn't matter, because even if he is not completely wiped out, he only needs to be completely disabled.

Hit until there is no power to fight back.

Because for Dietrich and Hodder, their biggest concern is those kingdoms that are about to move.

Therefore, the Netherlands completely smashed Burgundy, and even let the palace minister Hagen stir up the wind and rain, preparing to find an opportunity to overthrow those messy things in one fell swoop.

The Netherlands never needed a lord, never did.

What Hodder needs is a highly centralized regime that revolves around Siegfried.

Gothic is a little different.

Because Dietrich didn't think she needed these messy things, but instead appointed her trusted warriors to remotely control the conquered Danish region.

And conclude a simple peace treaty with Hungary by ceding part of the mine veins and opening up mining rights.

Not because of anything else, because both the Netherlands and Gothic need a relatively stable environment.

At least, neither Hodder nor Dietrich hope that anything will be used by the gods in the sky during the time when they have to stay away from Midgard.

What they need is an 'impregnable' stable environment.

To put it simply, they need the gods to continue to maintain that mysterious face.

But at the same time, they need these gods not to cause much damage and turmoil.

So, they need that sort of extreme balance.

This specific balance requires some special means to achieve.

That's it for now.

No matter from any point of view, it is perfect.

Because both Holder and Dietrich themselves have attracted enough attraction.

In this case, the gods are bound to make a choice.

In the end, it is through violent means that the entire atrium world is completely overturned, exposing the fact that he is not omnipotent, and completely tearing up the image that has been accumulated all along.

Or should we focus entirely on the sage of the Netherlands who is the core of the contradiction?

For them, it is not difficult to make a choice easily.

Because both sides are only playing games in secret, and still haven't put the real battlefield on the surface for everyone to see.

Therefore, this choice seems to be easy to make.

Not to mention now, the atrium world should still be under control in theory, and there is no large-scale change in the whole.

However, what deviates from the original plan is actually the state of the dragon blood warrior in Goth.

At least, the curse on him was definitely not planned.

However, in a sense, this is also a good thing.

Because the curse is not difficult to deal with, and after Hodder used the teeth of the fire dragon he had slaughtered to make an armband and forcibly transferred the power of the curse by magic, this kind of thing was solved.

Although the armband may not be as secretive as the Ring of the Fog Demon, it still allowed Studus to control his own share of the dragon curse.

And for him, this is strength, a means for him to contend against powerful enemies.

For this reason, coupled with the fact that the Gothic Frontier Legion is no longer able to support it.

So this guy Elmrich is useless.

Since there is no value at all, it is time for someone to liquidate all the past.

Moreover, this guy has nowhere to go.

Maybe he could escape from the eastern defense line to Hungary before, but now, when the lord of the Grimes region, Walter, swore allegiance to Dietrich, all this changed.

Because the territory closest to the eastern defense line, which should have been under the control of the frontier army and garrisoned in turn, was blocked in the center like a barrier.

Not only the line of defense, but even the territories in the south and the area near Burgundy were completely cut off.

And those areas are under the charge of Altwin, one of the Twelve Warriors, and Lord Walter.

As for the ancient capital Ravenna, it is now in a strange situation.

Unlike the massive legionary attacks in other regions, there is only one person standing in front of the city of Ravenna today.

And that person's name is known to everyone.

Dietrich Dittmadottir.

And once, her other name resounded throughout the kingdom.

"Dietrich Dietmarsen."

At this moment, on the city wall, a man in black who seemed out of place with everything around him let out a sigh.

His cloudy eyes stared at Her Royal Highness who came alone, and there was a little worry in his eyes.

Perhaps, or a little too bold, right?

During this time, he came to this ancient king's capital faster than anyone else.

And he also watched Elmrich gradually fall into anxiety, and began to deal with matters related to city defense.

After all, it was the means she was going to take that worried him.

He knew that there was always a strong hatred lingering in her heart, but if she vented this hatred and anger, and even spread it to other people, it would definitely not be a good thing for her future.

"I'll only say it once."

Finally, in this weird silence, the cold female voice echoed here.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but even the wind that was supposed to be peaceful has become violent at this moment.

Because it was winter, almost all the soldiers on the city wall felt a strong chill.

This is Her Royal Highness Princess of their Kingdom.

Originally, her attitude should only be used to deal with the enemy.

Thinking of this, the soldiers in charge of city defense couldn't help but feel a strong bitterness.

"Open the gates!"

This is an imperative tone, not negotiable at all.

"Only one chance!"

She said.

'boom'

At the same time, Falke, the Nightmare Warhorse, suddenly spit out flames.

The flames sprayed from its breath rushed directly into the sky, proving its mighty power.

"Open the gate."

Finally, the generals defending the city whispered their orders.

"what did you say?"
