The Denmark problem was solved. Egil also generously handed over the disastrously ruined Holstein to Otto I. Otto I was happy and went there for a walk, watching the people's livelihood with decay and speechlessness. I also had a clear understanding of Egil's ability to destroy. While I was secretly afraid, I also had a thought in my heart: "I should discipline this Nordic barbarian, what is etiquette."

In short, after checking Holstein's condition in detail, Otto I was completely deprived of the pleasure of taking advantage of it. Holstein is now like a piece of idiot, and it is a pity to abandon it if you eat it. Otto I was very puzzled about how to deal with this territory. I even had the idea of ​​returning this territory to the Danes.

After that, Otto I wrote another letter to Egil, which complained about his destruction of Holstein as such a virtue, and he said in a roundabout way that he needed more compensation.

So, Egil replied: Denmark's Jutland Peninsula can be cut and taken away. Please taste it as you like.

Otto I almost got angry - all parts of the Jutland Peninsula are like Holstein, even if you spend your energy to make a hair, do you give me funds to manage the salt-alkali land?

As a result, Otto I also lost interest in this territory and focused all his energy on the war with the three electoratees in the south, Bohemia, Austria and Swabian, with the intention of unifying the Holy Roman Empire.

After receiving such news from the spy, Egil breathed a little relieved. It seemed that the effect of ruining the entire Jutland Peninsula into this appearance had begun to show. Denmark could not recover its vitality for a long time and joined the Nordic game. This is one aspect. At the same time, the Holy Roman Empire, which was also greedy and more powerful, lost interest in Nordics, and changed directions to ensure the safety of the Norwegians. This is also one aspect. It kills two birds with one stone.

"Then next, we will fight against the Swedes." After nearly a week, Egil divided the Danish nobles on the Jutland Peninsula into three camps, and divided the three dukes of Upper Jutland, Central Jutland and Lower Jutland. After a brief diplomatic confrontation with Otto I, the Norwegian army has been rested and can continue to attack. At the same time, through the news from the spy network, the Norwegian pirates based on Gotland also launched several attacks on the coast of Sweden.

Speaking of which, the Swedish Navy had a pretty good ability. After several rounds of Carter, he finally lost under the powerful power of the improved crossbow warship. Immediately afterwards, Sweden's narrow coastline became a paradise for the ravages of Vikings. Because all the main forces were expeditions, the garrison in Sweden was also extremely weak at this moment. The Vikings succeeded several times easily and even approached Stockholm several times. However, it was ultimately due to the harassment and resistance of the Finnish light cavalry in Sweden. It was not successful.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the Swedish side will be affected to a certain extent. The Finnish region has been merged with Sweden for a long time. In addition, King Gustav’s unique skills are fighting and pulling the Finns and hiring a large number of Finnish light cavalry to serve him, so it is still stable. However, the Pskov, Petrozavodsk, which Sweden recently seized from Novgorod, and the Estonian region that was forced to annex, were all in a turmoil. The local princes and nobles all had bad intentions and intended to restore their own autonomy rights.

The newly defeated Novgorod and the Teutonic Knights who had previously been defeated by Sweden also planned to regain their own land.

Egil was full of confidence. When his army headed north and dragged Gustav, Eastern European heroes would flock to regain the land that Sweden had cut off on the Eastern European road. Norway, Novgorod, and Teutonic Knights would all be unavailable and divide Sweden's wealth and land together.

However, there is a small problem here.

When everything was done, Egil suddenly heard the bad news that Biyad, the capital of Norway, fell, and 1,500 defenders were gone. The Swedish army, which was severely damaged in the siege, slaughtered the city for three days.

"It's over. It's over. It's over." After hearing the news, Egil felt a dizzy moment. If Artoria next to him hadn't helped him with his eyes and hands, he would have been embarrassed.

"What the hell is going on?! How could he capture Biyad so quickly?!" Seeing her husband muttering alone, Artoria held Egil tightly with one hand, and asked Wuming loudly.

The spy chief lowered his head deeply, not daring to face the Queen who killed people without blinking. At the same time, he reported in a low voice: "It is said that after the other party had looted Bergen, he attacked from north to south, and the barracks were also deployed on the north wall and attacked day and night. There was no movement in the south wall. General Anderson placed all the defenders in the north, and then..."

"——Bause, rice bucket!!!" Egil suddenly recovered and cursed at Anderson, who had already died. He gave a Hitler-like temper. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Go, send me someone... assassinate, kill that guy!" Egil gritted his teeth and ordered like this.

"Is this... the King of Sweden?" Wuming asked.

"Who else can I besides him?! Do you want to piss me off too?! Get out!!!" Then Egil picked up the priceless oriental porcelain teacup on the table and threw it directly in front of Wuming. Seeing the thing worth hundreds of gold coins turned into a scum all over the ground, the spy leader felt a terrible heartbroken while he felt a thorn, and the thorn ran away and disappeared.

"There is no place that easy to kill in a country." Artoria complained: "But you can also give it a try. After all, not every king is like you, with a large number of guard knights and killer bodyguards day and night."

"I hope it will succeed." Egil sighed softly, then he looked unwilling.

"What the hell is wrong? Is that city of Biyad important?" Artoria asked strangely.

"The city of Biard is not very important." Egil smiled reluctantly and said: "The key is that, as the capital of Norway, it contains all the taxes I had for nearly two years after I unified Norway, as well as the Ore Waterway toll tax and the profits earned with trade with Italy and Eastern Rome... As a result, it was gone at once."

"How much does it cost?" Artoria asked directly.

“…more than 400,000.”

"……silver?"

"gold."

“…”

Immediately afterwards Artoria also went wild.

"More than 400,000?! It's gone all in a moment!"

"Um."

"Waste, rice bucket!!!!" This time Artoria overturned the table directly. A complete set of porcelain tea sets from the east fell to the ground and turned into rags.

In Artoria's heart, no matter what Egil is, it has half of its own. Then the 400,000 gold coins are his own 200,000. The Celtics are poor. When Artoria ascended the throne, it was only 200,000 or 30,000 gold coins. As a result, I heard that my husband had lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins in a row - I'm sorry, is this going to die?!

"Hurry up! Send troops to kill that guy and take back the gold!!!" Artoria directly grabbed Egil's collar and said gritting her teeth.

"Shut up! I'm a prodigal!" What Egil was most dissatisfied with Artoria was that she could spend money in addition to eating too much - of course this may be a common problem for women. To make beautiful clothes, to buy Oriental silk and porcelain, to ask for Italian glassware, to paint oil paintings, etc., all luxury goods like this. The palace expenses are absolutely impossible to get out of 3,000 gold coins a month. Egil is not easy to mess with. It's okay to forget when you're fine. At this moment, Artoria pricked her again. Egil also got angry.

Finally, the two sides had sufficient communication in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and began after the guards next to them shrugged and left...

Half an hour later.

"Damn... why... If your body recovers as before, you will not be my opponent if you tied together, bastard." Artoria, who was pressed down by Egil, showed a painful and happy expression.

"So... it's all a shadowless thing... aren't you losing now?" Egil, who pressed Artoria underneath, also showed a painful and happy expression.

"Talent, not..." Although Artoria struggled hard, she gave people a feeling of being half-supported. In layman's terms, it was: "I said no, but my body was very honest."

Finally, after wasting (?) two precious hours, the couple finally reached an agreement. After walking out with a refreshed spirit, they immediately ordered the entire army to move forward at full speed in the direction of Biyad. They killed all the Swedes and snatched back all the gold!
