You and me under the world tree

oracle!

Although there is not a complete system and regulations in this regard, in the eyes of mortals and gods, the so-called oracles are mysterious and diverse.

The simplest kind of hint is a vision in a dream.

Sometimes in order to ensure the sense of mystery, even create a picture that seems to have no connection at all.

And in this kind of picture, there are usually some magic-level inducements and hints to let the parties 'understand'.

Generally speaking, when the gods choose to contact those heroes who are worthy of attention, they will generally adopt this "hint" method first.

Then let characters like Hermod or the Valkyrie appear when the hero approaches that location intentionally or unintentionally.

However, this step remains incognito.

Until the hero tasted the sweetness in this regard, he began to get used to following this 'hint' to move forward.

It is not until the very end that the Guide will tear away the veil of mystery from himself.

This is an extremely routine process, but sometimes the gods themselves will play the role of guides.

Depending on the situation, the process will vary.

In short, it depends on the situation, and the degree of freedom of operation is great.

But at the same time, leaders are bound to bear great risks and pressures.

More importantly, the so-called oracle is not something that anyone can issue.

And at this critical juncture when the atrium world is gradually getting out of control, with Hermod's original style, he would never make such a choice without receiving clear instructions.

Because he definitely doesn't like to take some responsibility without authorization in this kind of chaotic situation.

But he did it anyway.

Though the Great King of the Gods did not order him to do so, he decided to drop a hint of it to Elf, who is still King of Denmark.

Is this because of the sense of responsibility you have as a god?

maybe……

Everyone understands that it is definitely not a good thing for Denmark to be annexed so abruptly.

But in fact, the importance of Denmark is actually that.

It's important, but not particularly important.

And there is only one reason for Hermod to do this!

"Hungary, Etzel..."

The moment these two words were mentioned, Hermod's expression became cold.

"How will you choose?"

In the end, he was just trying to make things difficult for the man who kept talking about farming.

…………

On the other side, Elf, who quickly left the room, was arranging his clothes along the way.

In fact, even the personal maids couldn't touch the king's body directly without asking.

So his robe fit on his body well, but it was a little wrinkled.

But this is not a big problem.

After putting on a shawl to keep out the wind and keep warm, he is still the majestic King of Denmark, and no one can shake him!

Originally, it should have been like this.

As the leader with the highest status in the entire kingdom, the king has too many eyes.

Those who have no master and those who speculate subconsciously pin their expectations on the king.

Even for those who are good at self-deception and don't like to think, as long as the king still maintains a confident attitude, then they have no reason to be afraid!

But soon, this hypocritical strength was broken.

It won't be completely shattered, but there are cracks.

Because when the king was led all the way back to the front hall by the dignified guards, what he saw were several corpses.

What's more, the faces of these corpses can be vaguely distinguished.

And sparks can even be vaguely seen in the 'crack' on the body, and the fear on the face is even more clearly visible.

This is the frontier lord he personally appointed and his family, who have been with him since he was young!

After identifying his face clearly, Elf even subconsciously felt difficulty in breathing.

For a moment, he even felt like he was about to faint.

But soon, he still stood up.

At the same time, his hands were also subconsciously groping.

Then Losger reached out to support him.

Under the hesitant eyes of the courtiers, he was supported by his own children to the throne.

But even so, Elf didn't respond immediately.

At this moment, instead, he just closed his eyes and looked as if he was in deep thought.

It wasn't until a while before he opened his mouth to utter a word slowly:

"border……"

The king's voice echoed throughout his court.

"Before, I remembered that the border territories should have surrendered."

The king's voice echoed, but the courtiers were silent.

"The fighters in the Border Territory all lost their will to fight, so they surrendered, but why did this happen?"

No one answered the king's cold, angry question.

In fact, they all had the same answer in their hearts.

To put it bluntly, it was because the Gothic princess did not accept such a 'noble' captive.

Maybe that woman named Dietrich wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, she wouldn't do such an act of massacring the village, and she wouldn't pour her anger and strength on those children.

However, this does not mean that she will not take action against the leaders in the kingdom.

She just made it clear:

Denmark I'm determined, you're all going to die!Even surrender is useless, let's go together!

This kind of thing is obvious.

However, now no one dares to jump out and be the first bird at this time.

And looking at those courtiers who looked at each other in blank dismay, as a prince, Luosige finally sighed.

Although he has the same indecision as his own father, he is not stupid.

But now, he could see at a glance what these people under the throne were worried about.

Therefore, he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"That means we have no way out, Father," he whispered.

After His Royal Highness the Prince stood up first, others also made their voices heard.

"Your Highness is right."

"Dietmar's daughter is exactly like him, extremely cruel!"

After this chattering sound, Losger took another deep breath.

"Father, I think at this time, we should first pass this matter to other lords and inform them of the result of the surrender."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Elf also nodded slowly.

"Just do as you said, let the messengers go to other territories, tell them to let go of the fantasy in their hearts, and prepare to fight to the death!"

Elf said coldly.

Then, his voice gradually softened again.

"Also, send a messenger to Hunland and tell the King of Hunland that we are willing to exchange minerals...or even mine veins for their support! This should be what those people in the Eastern Plains lack the most.

In addition, a letter was sent to the King of Norway, telling him that the enemy had reached the gate of the northern peninsula, and Gitelland intended to help Goth!He will make a choice! "

Ah, I almost forgot, my head is still a little heavy.

Merry Christmas everyone~

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Facing Elf's overbearing order, the courtiers and the spokespersons of the various lords did not have any objections.

Although they all understand that once Hungary intervenes, this matter will become difficult to end.

And the Kingdom of Denmark will definitely be in an ugly situation.

Mineral lode...

For the Kingdom of Denmark, this is what they live on.

In a somewhat fairer sense, the Kingdom of Denmark has gained its foothold because of the inexhaustible supply and use of several excellent veins of minerals.

They can build better tools and even export the ore cheaply.

Even, for a considerable number of lords and ministers, it is precisely because they themselves occupy the mines that their wealth can accumulate rapidly.

For them, if they want to hand over the mine veins in their hands, it will be more uncomfortable than killing them.

Because once the mine lode is lost, it is tantamount to losing their biggest support for them living in the Northland.

As for those pastures or fields, they were just additions from the beginning.

However, they dare not have any opinion on this.

On the one hand, it is because Elf is the king, and he has a certain prestige in his own kingdom, and even has ruthless methods that make people shy away from him.

On the other hand, it is because the pressure given by the Gothic Kingdom from the outside is too great.

If at the beginning, the lord and courtiers still had some small thoughts like surrender, then now they have completely dispelled such thoughts.

Not because of anything else, because the gothic princess' methods were too vicious.

If it falls into the hands of that woman, it will not be easy, the so-called retreat is completely blocked.

In this case, they can only follow the pace of the king.

Because they know that Denmark has no chance of winning in a single fight, and the Goths are determined to destroy Denmark.

In this case, the only turning point is external assistance.

For 'Denmark' and the Danish royal family, this is completely fighting fire with fire, but at least it can survive.

The Hungarian Empire in the east is on a plain, and with the rampant monsters, mining has always been a little difficult.

For them, one or even several high-quality ore veins that can be mined stably are naturally very attractive.

Although the Hungarian side's request may be more excessive, but even if it is excessive, the title of 'Denmark' can be retained after all.

Because the distance is too far, Hungary has no reason to go around the border and head-to-head with the Gothic Kingdom.

For them, even supporting a younger brother is more comfortable than forcibly annexing them.
