You and me under the world tree

But as the leader of the Valkyrie, what could make her sad in this God's Domain?

'crash'

Just when Simfi Otley thought so, there was a roar of thunder in the Glacier Forest outside the Hall of Valor.

The sound can only be described as loud, and then, the heroic warriors saw a flash of lightning flashing across the sky, and then went away.

Slude's speed was very fast. Although he was not as fast as the envoy Hermod, he landed in the Lightning Palace at an extremely fast speed.

Yes, Lightning Palace, not her own Storm Palace.

The Storm Palace symbolizes her independence, while the Lightning Palace is the place where she grew up.

If she had to say it, she had a deeper feeling for Lightning Palace.

And when she landed in front of the Lightning Palace, she didn't stop there, but quickly rushed into the Lightning Palace.

Although Thor, the god of thunder, has woken up, Sif is quite smart. She is not in a hurry to recall the servants she sent out, anyway, these are not important.

Therefore, even though Slude had returned from Valhalla, there was still no one in the Lightning Palace.

The Storm Goddess ran all the way.

Following the path she was familiar with, she ran all the way back to the room, and on the way, she saw the two brothers who had always been inseparable.

Manny and Moody...

The two gods of war, who symbolize strength and courage, should be her elder brothers in terms of age, and when they saw Slude, they also raised their hands.

"Slude."

However, before they could say anything, Slude lowered his head and rushed over.

This inevitably made them feel a little embarrassed.

Their tempers are inherently irritable. If ordinary people ignore them, it is estimated that by this time they would have caused problems such as self-esteem.

But it's not the same now after all.

Slude is their sister, so at this moment, the two brothers can't help but look at each other.

"What happened to her?" Moody couldn't help asking

"Looks like she's in a bad mood."

At this moment, Manny couldn't help frowning.

However, when they wanted to follow up to take a look, the Storm Goddess had already disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Not in the mood to take care of his two simple-minded brothers, Slude rushed into the bedroom.

"Mother."

For a long time, Slude has always called Sif "mother" because it is a more formal address. When she became sensible, the address has not changed.

So when she heard her daughter's voice, Sif was obviously in a daze.

Then, she saw her extremely mature daughter rushing over like she was a child.

"what happened?"

"Mom, I am a goddess, and I am the god of Asgard."

Leaning on his mother's shoulder, Slude spoke incoherently like this.

Sif could understand every word she said, but when the words were connected into sentences, she found that she couldn't understand.

"Of course, what's the matter, dear."

When holding up her daughter's face, what Sif saw was a pear-blossoming face.

Thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be the first time Slude cried since he was sensible.

At this moment, Sif felt her heart was about to break.

This is her daughter, the daughter she has been close to since she was a child. After feeling the heartache, Sif could not help but take a deep breath.

"what happened."

"I am the goddess of Asgard..."

"Ah."

"So I have actually made a choice, and there is no way out."

'patta'

The tears that flowed from the corners of the goddess' eyes finally fell to the floor.

"Whether it's me or him."

It's not some kind of narrative, so it sounds disjointed, but Sif is just silent.

Her understanding ability is very strong, because for a certain period of time, the daughter who returned from the mortal world kept mentioning a certain name.

And she was crying right now because of him.

"Good, Slude."

Sif didn't say much, she just hugged her daughter heartbroken, and then reached out to stroke her golden hair.

"good."

"Mother……"

…………

At the same time, in the human world Midgard.

'patta'

In front of the temporarily arranged army tent, raindrops fell on the ground without warning.

"Ok?"

Then, the man in the armor noticed that it was raining.

The raindrops falling from the sky hit his armor and cloak, and after a while, the cloak was completely soaked.

The water droplets stuck to his body along the gaps in the armor and helmet.

However, he didn't hide from it, he just watched the rain calmly.

until someone called him:

"Master Sage."

"Say."

"Your Highness, please go to discuss the matter."

"Yeah, I got it."

Chapter 14: Plan of Attack

Since the battle broke out at the Rhine Ferry and the Amstel Harbor, the war that had almost disappeared has started again.

For five months, the people under Siegfried's rule sometimes even forgot that the North and the South were actually confronting each other.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the supplies that Siegfried had hoarded in five months finally came in handy.

These materials are generally purchased directly from other places by him directly using the property in the treasure.

The rich and powerful life is so smooth.

But in fact, Siegfried did not use these treasures as easily as outsiders imagined.

Because he always keeps in mind the teachings of his uncle and adoptive father in this regard: Don't go too far.

On the one hand, people cannot doubt the source of these treasures. After all, the wealth accumulated by Siegmund is "limited", and spending too much at once will make people suspicious.

On the other hand, if these properties are squandered without any scruples and these treasures are completely flowed into the atrium world, it will have a severe impact on the entire atrium.

Not to mention other consequences of this shock, it will definitely make those kings and lords feel that something is wrong.

Although due to cognitive problems, they do not think as long-term as the dwarves who have always been with money, but they are aware of the importance of 'materials'.

Therefore, when organizing caravans to purchase a series of materials including grain and minerals from various kingdoms, he basically managed to calculate carefully, wishing to break a gold coin into ten parts to spend.

But in the end, the materials were successfully collected, and the other kingdoms did not have any doubts.

And when the supplies were completely moved, the people in each town were not even affected.

Because of the long-standing reserves, Siegfried's army didn't even need to collect rations.

Moreover, they don't need a quick fix at all.

After that day, the garrison in the abandoned port and the Amstel harbor split into two groups, one from the land and the other from the port.

Residents who took refuge in Amstel Harbor also returned to their places of residence one after another under the escort of the army.

Then, a month has passed since then.

Completely different from the frivolity shown by the Hengding family, Siegfried never needed to use any victory to prove himself.

He didn't go to attack the royal city at all, but commanded the army to set up camp nearby in an open manner, and then began to use the army to sweep up the surrounding territories, gradually encroaching and occupying them.

Moreover, this occupation is not some brutal act.

As the descendant of the Volsung family and the prince of the Netherlands, Siegfried issued the highest order: appease.

On the one hand, it is natural that the soldiers of the army are prohibited from harassing the local residents, and on the other hand, it is necessary to 'compensate' the residents in these towns.

Of course, the so-called compensation cannot be that the local residents will give whatever they say.

These are given in accordance with the previous 'list'.

After the previous battle with the Hengding Clan, Siegfried and others collected a large amount of supplies from the tents they had no time to clean up.

Although these materials have been used as rewards or banquet materials for the soldiers after inspection.

However, Hagen has compiled a list.

According to the total amount of this list, it will be apportioned among the villages whose cattle and sheep are expropriated.

Of course, this allocation is not without problems.

First of all, in terms of materials, these materials sent back will definitely be reduced compared to the collection, and it is estimated that even this small amount of materials will also be "unevenly distributed".

However, these are beyond Siegfried's control.

Sitting in the highest seat, due to his personal ability and limit, what he can watch is extremely limited.

However, the role and effect of sending charcoal in a timely manner has finally been achieved.

"One month, I think it's about the same."

Calculating the time in the game, Huo De, who was braving the drizzle, walked into the tent.

Siegfried was not the only one stationed in the army camp near the royal city. When Huo De walked in, he happened to see the man drinking hot tea.

A warrior from Denmark: Half the Raven.

He was on the verge of death in the defense of Amstel, but because Hewale used the extremely precious scroll to directly heal most of his external injuries including fatal injuries, so he saved his life.

However, healing trauma comes at a price.

Even if the trauma is healed, in theory, the parties still need to rest for a long time.

And a person like Halph can run around after three days, it can only be said that his body is in good shape.

Also for this reason, Half took back his original duty: commanding the Hague Fortress.

He brought a sea army out from Amstel again, fought back to the Hague Fortress along the sea route, and then began to expand from there.

"Since you have come here now, it means that your side is over."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Sage." After seeing Hodder walk into the big tent, Half stood up immediately.

Still holding the teacup, he seemed to be warming his hands.

"Now, Wittsager and Bodwall are in charge of the Fortress of The Hague, and they are both trustworthy."

And the bonfire in the center of the tent also warmed the entire tent.

In such an environment, Huo De, who was still dripping all over his body, exuded a feeling of being out of place.
