You and me under the world tree

"So why bother, you must mention the Volsung family in front of the king."

…………

Just like that, time passed slowly.

The various lords of Denmark responded to their king immediately.

Of course, under such circumstances, no one bargained, and everyone wanted to show their loyalty.

And the dirty things in private are naturally covered up.

In this way, the Danish army gradually began to gather.

They took the initiative to give up some unnecessary stations, and in the end, it is unknown which wicked person made the suggestion:

"Let's take the initiative to relocate the granary and the army."

After this condition was passed, the Danish army began to actively plunder its own villages.

To put it simply, it is to speculate on the route of the Gothic army, and then evacuate all the granaries in the surrounding villages according to the time, and even rob the residents of their own winter grain and seeds to be planted in the spring.

On the other side of the ranch, cattle and sheep were robbed by force.

Absolutely no meat, and absolutely no grain.

Moreover, they have to keep the local residents!

Because during several confrontations, most people in Denmark noticed one thing:

Although the woman named Dietrich acted decisively and cruelly, she never attacked civilians or children.

She will kill all enemies, and even stated that she will never leave nobles and lords alive.

However, her butcher knife has never been aimed at civilians.

In Elf's eyes, this kind of behavior can be regarded as buying people's hearts to a certain extent.

It is understandable to kill nobles and lords, because it is necessary to disrupt the political situation of the kingdom so that her forces can fully intervene.

And in a way, Elf was relieved by this brutal but normal approach.

Because in this way, he also has the opportunity to delay and fight back!

With the help of the opponent's reputation, he directly ordered the attacked lords to keep a large number of civilians in their original station, and take away all the main force and the food and supplies they collected.

Leave nothing behind.

In this case, the attack speed of the Gothic army was directly dragged down and slowed down.

The marching speed of the army was fast, yes, but after the Goths captured a town, they had to wait for supplies from inside the kingdom.

After coming and going, the supply line was gradually stretched, not to mention, sometimes it had to prevent attacks from Danish guerrillas.

And more importantly, as more and more lands were conquered violently, the supply of the entire Gothic became stretched.

Under this delay, a month passed.

On this day, the weather is not too cold.

But the gradually warming weather did not bring any relief to Dietrich.

On the contrary, a frost appeared in her heart, and that cold expression made the soldiers flinch.

It is true that the Gothic warriors respected and adored this princess, but her demeanor and the icy coldness on her face made them afraid to approach her.

Even though the prince has already exposed the identity of the princess, this is the reason why she has no suitors so far.

Because most people know that nothing will happen.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the guards, the white-haired princess in armor slowly walked out of the tent.

And before he could take a few steps, he saw the warriors under her command approaching quickly.

It's wolfheart warrior Wolfhart!

"Your Highness, a new batch of supplies has arrived."

"Well, give priority to our fighters, and distribute the rest to those civilians."

she said.

"understood."

Wolfhart said.

But at this moment, he was not in a hurry to leave.

"Your Highness..."

"Huh? What else?"

"I'm afraid the situation is not very good now."

"..."

After hearing Wolfhart's words, Dietrich couldn't help closing her eyes.

She actually knew what Wolfhart was going to say, but she didn't stop her.

"The spring will start in about ten days, and a new round of cultivation will begin in the kingdom. What about our military fields?"

The second update_(:з」∠)_

Let's see if there is a third update tonight

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

According to the general kingdom system, because the king will disperse the power in his hands, and the ruling power of the territory will also be distributed to his lords.

As far as the king is concerned, he has the loyalty of the lords, but the demesne is actually not much larger than other lords.

The only advantage is probably that there are not many things to be busy at ordinary times, and what they have to do is to coordinate the contradictions within the kingdom, and then ensure that they will always be above other lords.

Dietrich's own territory, however, was different.

In fact, every ambitious king has a deep hatred for the so-called lords.

However, due to this tradition, and the fact that the Goths are not a dominant family, Dietrich has no way to tamper with the lordship system.

But on the contrary, because at the beginning, she still had her father on her head.

For this reason, it doesn't matter what she does as long as her father agrees.

So after her father gave her a large area of ​​land including Bei'an City, she directly kept the fertile land when she gave her subordinates the title of lord.

When she became the lord, she also specially selected those young people who seemed to have no ambitions and only longed for fame, or elders she could trust.

In this case, she successfully controlled the fields within her sphere of influence.

On the one hand, she allocated fields and pastures to the residents for farming and grazing.

In the case of directly cutting off the original middle layer, the court under her will be divided into [-]/[-] with the residents, and every family can have surplus food anyway.

As for the remaining land, it was handed over to the army for cultivation.

This is the 'military field' in Gothenburg.

Although this system seems extremely rudimentary, but so far there have been no flaws because Dietrich himself is in charge of coordinating with the weapon master Hiltebrand.

But in fact, it is precisely because of their existence that this seemingly crude system operates extremely smoothly.

As for the middle class and so on, there is a powerful boss watching over there, and the people below don't dare to mess around at all.

However, now there is a problem.

Because the supply line is getting longer and longer, and the legion in the territory is investing more and more. In this case, there is no one to grow the military field.

"Your Highness, if you miss the cultivation period, I'm afraid the next days will be difficult."

After hearing Wolfhart's soft words, Dietrich couldn't help closing her eyes.

She understood that Wolfhart had no other messy thoughts.

This little soldier was promoted from an ordinary soldier by her own hand.

Not to mention that wisdom is close to monsters, but he has his own insights and ideas.

Now, he is willing to whisper these things to her instead of speaking out in public, which in itself proves her carefulness.

"To tell you the truth, Wolfhart, I would have liked to have settled the fight completely within a month."

After hearing Dietrich's words, Wolfhart nodded slowly.

Of course he knew about it.

Because before, their princely highness said that the battle should be over before the spring.

Because after the war, you can go home and farm directly, and you can even plant the Danish fields along the way.

However, what is happening now is beyond expectations.

"Your Highness cannot be blamed for this."

Staring at Dietrich's pale but normal face, Wolfhart spoke.

"After all, no one would have thought that these people would do this."

And after hearing what the wolf-hearted warrior said, Dietrich couldn't help shaking her head.

This is indeed true.

Although in fact, this is indeed a feasible tactic, but Dietrich subconsciously felt that Denmark would not be able to do this.

She gave that kind of strong deterrence before, in order to create a cruel image.

And this image is conducive to gathering forces in Denmark.

To put it bluntly, she didn't want to let someone like Hagen do what Nederland did.

What she wants to do is to uproot and kill all the nobles in Denmark, and other things can be done after farming.

However, the ghost knows that Denmark still throws civilians over in this situation.

And they go even further.

Alas, what kind of people can make such a decision to squeeze their own villagers?

The so-called scorched earth strategy is not unheard of in the Netherlands.

But whether it was Huo De at the beginning or Siegfried a few years ago, what they can do is to let the people move inward as much as possible, taking away what can be taken away, and burning what cannot be taken away.

In short nothing was left to the enemy.

And after waiting for the enemy to go deep, give a head-on blow, or even sneak around the supply line.

In fact, Dietrich was also well prepared for this kind of terrible strategy. In her opinion, the big deal was just to run all the way.

However, the civilians thrown by Elf's old thing really slowed down the progress of the Gothic army.

"Actually, I thought I was cruel enough."

Thinking of this, Dietrich finally sighed.

"..."

Hearing the emotion of the Highness whom he was loyal to, Wolfhart just lowered his head.

At this moment, a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"In fact, we have no obligation to take care of these people at all, Your Highness."

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"Spring is coming, even though we are stationed here in Denmark, the front line is too long..."

Having said that, Wolfhart paused for a moment.

Because he also knew how shocking the things he was about to propose were.
