You and me under the world tree

Because the facts are indeed as Her Royal Highness said, the Kingdom of Gitland is completely sandwiched between the maritime overlords Norway and the Kingdom of Denmark.

There is only such a small area that barely borders the Gothic Kingdom.

"If a war is forced to start, I don't think Norway will sit idly by, and there may be another peninsula war at that time."

Decades ago, the war initiated by the Norwegian King Angentir has always been a shadow.

Although he died in the end, and Gitland survived, Gitland itself cannot be said to be a victory.

"Even if there was a great warrior Siamar guarding Gitland, the best end result would be that both sides suffer, so don't say such things."

"But those people outside are now..."

"Okay, you don't need to think about this kind of thing. Those outside are just clowns, and you can't trust opportunistic fools at all."

In the end, Studus felt that the feasible proposal was not approved after all, so he just walked out of the study in frustration.

And just after he left completely, a certain guy who had been hiding in the study spoke:

"In this year, it is simply a miracle that such a sincere person can be born in the royal family."

"Well, after all, he is the one who can become good friends with the disciple you are proud of... In fact, until now, he doesn't believe that this is an order from Siegfried."

"We wouldn't believe it any more, would we?"

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, Dietrich suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.

This is completely different from the lonely feeling of fighting alone in the past, because she knows each other well, she seems to be able to say more to the man in front of her.

So unconsciously, she began to talk more.

"In short... Now it's time for those clowns to expose their ugliness."

A week later, things turned around.

No one knew what happened. Burgundy and Denmark were delighted by the attitude of the Netherlands.

Because this behemoth has marched towards the interior of Gothic.

In order not to miss the opportunity to go to war at the same time, Denmark and Burgundy also started to march together.

In an instant, war broke out.

But then, the dynamics of the Netherlands began to change.

The regiment commanded by 'Little War Bear' Bodwall and 'Raven' Half began to march, and they stationed at the passage of the Jura Mountains, and even began to build forts and camps on the spot.

At the same time, news spread from the two political centers of the City of Godsend and the City of Wrath: Goths and the Netherlands have reached an alliance:

The Gothic Kingdom is willing to retreat to the east of the Rhine River, restore the original national boundaries, and return the Jura Mountains to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

As a price, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Goths concluded a treaty of alliance.

"If you want to fight, just fight, anyway, Goth has never been afraid!"

Chapter 9: Predators Beyond the Center

It can be said that the performance of the Netherlands directly caught them off guard.

When the kings of Denmark and Burgundy received the battle report, they only felt a depression in their chests, and they couldn't vent it no matter what.

In Denmark's Battletooth King City, King Elf couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he saw the battle report from the front line.

Even at this time, Elf wondered if it was because he was too old to keep up with the thinking of young people today.

Even, it may be because of his age, so encountering something 'exciting' will always make him dizzy.

However, if it is excited to joy, that's all.

It was precisely this kind of thing that made him so angry.

For a moment, he didn't know how to comment on the diplomatic performance of the Lord of Armies in the Netherlands.

"It's really... short-sighted!"

In the end, Elf still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and cursed directly.

He was naturally unhappy about this in his heart, because he didn't understand what Siegfried was thinking at all.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? This is a truth that every fool should understand.

And the Gothic Kingdom is not 'sleeping'. The victorious prince has always been extremely strong, whether it is against Denmark or Burgundy, even against the Netherlands, there is no sign of excessive concessions.

At this moment, Elf suddenly had the urge to rush directly to the city of Heaven's Wrath and lift the head of the young king over there to see what was inside.

No way?

No way?

Wouldn't there be people in this world who only care about their current attitude and ignore their past actions?

How could the sage who was famous for a while and made everyone breathless teach such a fool?

He is the prince who is not afraid of the Goths!

It's really no wonder that Elf's mentality is out of balance, because Siegfried is indeed an outlier among the kings in terms of performance.

After all, Gothic used to be too strong, and he was the kind who started fighting when he disagreed with each other.

Because it has been launching wars against the outside world from time to time for a long time, this kingdom located in the middle of Midgard covered up all the internal contradictions.

And because of its attitude, the kingdoms including the Netherlands, once ruled by the false king Legney, have been beaten, and the Netherlands was even almost destroyed and merged into the Gothic kingdom. In the territory.

And it is this behavior that can already see the attitude of the princess.

At that time, if a conflict breaks out, once the decline is revealed, the country will be destroyed.

Even if she withdraws the army, the defeated side is bound to bleed heavily, and even the Valkyrie who is in charge of mediating conflicts in the kingdom may not be able to save them.

"Damn..."

At this moment, the grievances in Elf's heart towards the Netherlands erupted.

However, whether those cognitions and thoughts before belonged to the outburst of grievances or rational thinking, even Elf himself didn't know.

However, now he at least understands one thing:

Whether it is Denmark or Burgundy, it is time to make a decision.

…………

"This young man...is really adventurous."

At the same time, in Worms, the royal city of Burgundy, an old man spoke.

Although he was bending over to water those delicate roses, he was also wearing plain clothes.

However, no one here dared to underestimate him, and no one even dared to respect him.

Because he was the former king of Burgundy, Jibixi.

And here, the one listening to his teachings is naturally his most promising child, the current King Gunter.

After hearing what his father said, Gunter just smiled wryly.

However, under this helpless wry smile is still a kind of lingering confusion.

"I still don't quite understand, Father." Finally, after restraining the expression on his face, Gunther asked, "Could it be that Siegfried would rather raise a ferocious beast by the side than us? "

"Fierce beast? No, this kind of thing is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Jibixi said, "The reason why we in Burgundy and Denmark want to deal with the Gothic prince quickly is because he has always Playing strong, we have suffered a lot.”

Although this is indeed true, it is possible that Jibishi is expressionless because of his age.

This incident seemed nothing to him, so he just made fun of it and let it go.

"Are you trying to say that Siegfried underestimated Goth?"

"No, I can only say that Siegfried is very confident in himself."

Denying what his child said, Jibishi spoke.

"From an emotional point of view, for him, the prince of Goth helped him after all. Although it was only a small matter, it was tantamount to saving his life."

He was talking about the fact that Dietrich had publicly declared that the 'Son of Siegmund' from the Netherlands was dead and delivered the body.

That was several years ago.

But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of such claims that Siegfried can better remain anonymous and finally kill Legney by surprise.

"In addition, in terms of interests, the Netherlands and Gothic may not be on good terms, but he must not sit back and watch Gothic be destroyed."

"Gothic won't just die..."

"But the existence of Dietrich himself is the root cause of Goth's external strength..." When he said this, Jibixi suddenly laughed.

Immediately afterwards, the old king put down the shower in his hand.

Maybe it was because he was really old, he even beat his waist at this time.

After sighing, he turned his gaze to his child.

"Maybe it's because we don't have that kind of overly powerful hero in Burgundy, so you kid doesn't know much about those characters who can change the situation on the battlefield by themselves."

"It's not that I haven't seen Dietrich on the battlefield..."

"That's now, because now she needs to train her own team, so she needs to accumulate military merits for her people."

Looking at Gunter's young face, Jibixi finally sighed helplessly.

"You haven't really experienced that era...the era ruled and suppressed by the human god of war, so you don't understand what it means to form an army with one person."

However, Jibishi will never reminisce about that era, so his topic did not stay long in this regard.

"In short, for us Burgundy and Denmark, the Gothic Kingdom has full oppressive power, but the Netherlands is different, they actually see farther."

"Father..."

"Do you think that the only thing we need to worry about is Her Royal Highness Princess Goth?"

After picking up the fruit wine served by the maid, Jibixi sipped the delicious and sweet wine.

"Don't forget, there are ferocious beasts watching in the east."

Beasts of the East...

After hearing what his father said, a figure happened to appear in Gunter's mind.

He has a strong figure and is dressed in animal skins.

Behavior and demeanor are full of heroic qualities.

"Hungary..."

After realizing this, Gunter's complexion was a little ugly.

Chapter 10: Broaden your horizons

Maybe it's because the establishment time is too short, or maybe it's because the eastern part of the atrium world itself is so chaotic that almost no one wants to really go to that kind of place.

The brand of the lawless zone has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention that until now, the Gothic Kingdom's eastern defense against the raging monsters and giant robbers has not been withdrawn, and it has been strengthened every year!

But of course, the more important thing is that the Hungarian Empire, established by King Etzel, rarely interfered in the struggles of the other kingdoms, so there was a little bit of friction with the Goths.

As for why it is a small friction, it is because it has not risen to the point of fighting the whole country. At most, it is a battle between the kings and lords.

And the reason for this situation is also very simple:

On the one hand, it is because the geographical location of the kingdom itself is not very good - it is located in the easternmost part of the atrium world.

Although the land is fertile, it is backed by a giant like the Iron Forest.

From time to time, there will be monsters landing on the seemingly calm coast, or directly rushing out of the frightening iron forest.

Moreover, sometimes it's not just monsters that rush out, but also those giants who were expelled because they committed crimes in the kingdom of giants and refused to mend their ways -- at least on the surface.

These guys have been messing around in the eastern part of the atrium world, even trying to impact the order that the humans in Midgard have finally established, and return the world to the original kind of killing and chaos.

There is no doubt that they do have such an ability theoretically.

At the beginning, when the Hungarian Empire had not yet been established, it was the Gothic Kingdom and Denmark that had to face the impact from the east.

However, because the northern peninsula is slightly harsh in terms of environment, both monsters and those giants who want to be the king of the mountain will attack the Gothic Kingdom immediately.
