You and me under the world tree

"It's not something I can decide," she said.

In fact, with Siegfried's character, if she asked for it, the young hero would certainly try to meet it.

However, she took a step back.

Not because of anything else, just as the 'leader of the abandoned port', she thinks it's better not to make decisions on this aspect without authorization.

As the new king who will definitely ascend the throne in Wangcheng in the future, what Siegfried needs is 'prestige'.

And when the virtuous and respected sage chooses to retreat and support the son of a friend wholeheartedly, this prestige must not be shared with others.

Valkyries and gods cannot be divided, neither can Hilda as an Icelandic princess without a "further step" in identity, nor can Hervale as the leader of the abandoned port.

This prestige must be blessed by Siegfried alone, which is the case with the combination of grace and power.

He not only needs to issue a decree and try his best to make the people under his rule live a good life, but also needs to let them know who issued this decree.

The sage Hodder seems to let go of government affairs and do nothing, and for this reason, Siegfried, who is the person involved, has been complaining about fishing.

However, from the perspective of a 'bystander', Hewale saw it quite clearly: his laissez-faire behavior actually pushed all the credit to Siegfried.

Only Siegfried alone, the descendant of Volsunger is the best label!

But at the same time, there were lingering worries in Hewale's heart.

After all, no one can guarantee that this will be effective. After all, the belief in the gods and the "heroic tradition" linked to the Valkyrie are too deeply rooted in this land.

"Ugh……"

In the end, Hewale couldn't help but sighed.

Although she once decided to embark on an unprecedented dangerous path because of the hatred and anger in her heart.

But when the impulse in her heart gradually dissipated, what she felt was boundless pressure.

This feeling is like swinging a sword at the sky.

Knowing your goal is right, the sky (the gods) is right in front of you.

However, she can't be sure that every action and every arrangement of hers will definitely work.

Even, their seemingly shaken 'tradition' may be nothing.

But so what?

In the end, Hewale still clenched his fists.

However, just as she adjusted her emotions and was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened.

"Ok?"

Of course it was Huo De who opened the door, but because the door opened inwards, Hewale's hand inevitably froze there.

For a while, the scene was a little awkward.

But Howard didn't care about this, his cloudy, dark eyes swept over the other person.

"You two stood at the door muttering for so long, don't you know how to knock?"

Facing Huo De's question, the two women first looked at each other, and then their eyes inevitably began to wander.

Especially Hilda, she knew that the sound insulation effect of this room can be said to be quite poor when she listened to the corner at the door.

In other words, because the sage in the room felt that there was nothing to hide in this regard, he did not set up something like a sound-proof barrier.

So here comes the question, since the content of the conversation coming from inside can be heard from the door, can Siegfried and the others inside the door hear the conversation outside when Hewale and she didn't lower the volume at all?

Of course it is.

At this time, Hilda felt a little ashamed for no reason.

Then, she couldn't help but look past the sage, looking at the descendants of Volsunger in the room.

At this time, the young hero just picked up his black tea and took a sip.

warm...

For a person like him who has just devoted himself to handling government affairs, a cup of hot tea can relieve his body and mind, and it would be even better if he had some biscuits at this time.

Sadly not now.

After noticing Hilda's gaze, he just smiled back habitually.

"You got it over there?"

"Ah."

After Siegfried said that, Hilda just walked into the room with a bunch of documents, and then piled them on Siegfried's desk in one go.

"Look at it."

Then, the future heirs of the kingdom began their own exchanges.

Siegfried picked up the documents and quickly glanced over them, then quickly signed his name with a quill pen.

Although the current Hilda seems extremely immature, he vaguely grasps the essence of handling government affairs, and even explaining and reporting to others.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there will be no mistakes in the cooperation between these two people.

So in the end, Hodder didn't stay here. His 'daily tasks' were almost done, so maybe he should just leave now.

However, just as he was about to leave, Hewale stopped him.

"and many more……"

Just when Hodder had put on his fine frontier helmet, Hewale suddenly stopped him.

"Ok?"

At the same time, in Huo De's vision, an exclamation mark appeared on He Huale's head.

"what's up?"

Then, the moment the sage turned his gaze, He Huale felt an inexplicable pressure.

He seemed to get serious all of a sudden.

Although he didn't know why, Hewale always felt that he was paying attention all the time.

"I want...please guide me to fight."

[Mission: Harness the Rage]

"Oh..."

When Hodder saw this task, although he was a little dazed, he was not overly surprised.

"Have you learned 'Furious Fury'?"

Chapter No.16: The same end

The descendants of Volsunger returned, and the north of the Netherlands quickly fell under the lightning operations of the sons of heroes.

Since then, the Netherlands has been divided in two.

For the entire atrium world, it will be at least two months before such news is passed to the various kingdoms.

And because Siegfried's raid was too fast-only ten days in the previous month were used for fighting.

The soldiers in Fortress Helder and The Hague Fortress didn't even see the warships. They only saw Grani, the descendant of the divine horse, galloping wildly across the land and sea, and the navy blue divine horse stepped directly on it. The sea comes.

Then, their proud fortress and walls were smashed to pieces by the sons of heroes who came on a single horse.

How to fight this?

This hit your horse?

When Siegfried came to make a surprise attack, almost all the soldiers thought about this question in their hearts.

Fighting has never been a difficult task for the Volsung family, because the moment he holds the Holy Sword of God's Wrath, the battlefield in the world has already been won or lost.

What really drags Siegfried's pace is the various government affairs that will come next.

Although some are difficult to understand, or even impossible to imagine, it is true.

After ten days of laying down the territory, what Siegfried did in the following time was to let the army surrender, then maintain the original state, and then let his 'army' enter the crucial Amstel harbor.

And the rest of the time was all about text-level operations: promoting the orthodoxy of the Volsung family, recruiting orders for the entire Netherlands, and so on.

For Siegfried, the only thing to worry about was the documents that were all backlogged on him and had to be reviewed and handled by him himself. Other words were no big deal at all.

The war he initiated did not affect civilians at all, because apart from cities with huge garrisons such as Amstel and the king cities, other towns and villages had only minimal 'guards'.

Most of the soldiers are stationed in forts and fortresses all over the place.

In this case, as long as those in the fortress surrender, the small towns and villages that the fortress can radiate will naturally be included, including a large number of pastures, mills, and jungles.

For the soldiers stationed in villages and towns, it was equivalent to sleeping and waking up the next day to find that the territory had changed.

When the news spread that the Netherlands was divided into two and the territory was completely divided, Volsung's territory had already begun to operate again.

To civilians, a 'makeover' doesn't seem like a big deal.

They live whatever life they should normally, and the so-called war is still too far away from them.

Because the territory of the kingdom itself was too vast, in the eyes of these people, the so-called 'change of ownership' might even mean changing the mayor, village chief or even the nobles who ruled the territory.

And, more importantly, two months after the territory changed hands, they discovered one thing: they didn't have to pay taxes.

To put it simply, Siegfried issued a decree in the name of the leader of the Volsung family, and this decree was related to taxation.

At this juncture, there is only one thing he can do: tax relief.

However, not all of them were exempted, at most it was about a third of the Hengding family's original tax reduction, and this reduction was not permanent, it only lasted for one year.

However, what really shocked the entire Netherlands, and even the entire Midgard, was another move by Siegfried: tariffs.

In the name of the descendants of Volsunger, Siegfried was exempted from customs duties for three years, and merchants outside the Netherlands only needed to pay the most basic "transaction tax" when doing business in the Netherlands.

This is simply asking for death, something that no king or even the palace minister will agree to.

However, this decree was circulated and proved to be true.

"madman!!"

'Quacha'

Accompanied by the sound of shattering, Legney, who was drinking, couldn't help but smash the wine glass in his hand.

At the same time, his palm slapped heavily on the armrest of the throne.

However, his actions could not calm him down.

Even at this time, his anger was growing.

"If he does this, isn't he afraid that all the lords under him will rebel!!"

Legni's furious voice resounded throughout the palace.

In fact, Legney is not the only one who has doubts about this, and the same doubts are also voiced in other places.

Stuck in the fortress of Beian on the border of the Netherlands, the warrior who also slaughtered the evil dragon: Studus couldn't help expressing such emotion.

Although he is now working under the command of Prince Dietrich, he is still the prince of Gitland.

Although the throne could never fall on his head, he has received royal education after all.

In his view, this approach is of course tantamount to completely ruining the good situation.

At the same time, he couldn't help turning his attention to his colleague: Wittig, the sword knight.

This is a handsome man...

Legend has it that he came from a deep mountain, but he wore excellent armor and held in his hand the legendary sword Mimmung, which is said to be indestructible and cannot be protected by any armor.

"What do you think?" Wittig asked at the moment when he was lost in thought.

Then Wittig himself was outspoken.

"What I care about is the attitude of the Valkyrie."

Although His Royal Highness the Prince himself was sitting on his throne, and in front of them, he still said these words.

"There are Valkyries in the Netherlands, and they appear quite often, but their attitude towards this war is very ambiguous, so I don't think it's easy to say where the outcome will go."

Wittig then set his sights on the prince wearing the horned helmet.
