You and me under the world tree

Chapter 4: Letters stacked together

It is impossible to directly occupy a city quietly.

Although in Midgard, limited by the 'carrier', the speed of information transmission does have some problems.

And under the intentional situation, as long as the messenger is wiped out, the time for information dissemination can be delayed as much as possible.

However, Amstel is a huge commercial port after all, and its hugeness is entirely based on its positioning: business, that is to say, merchants will eventually come to this city.

Therefore, it is impossible to conceal information.

Even, it is no longer what it used to be.

The days of concealing their identities and covering their whereabouts are long gone, and now they want to announce in a very high-profile manner: the descendants of Volsunger have returned.

And when the king who lived in the royal city still named 'Volsong' (Sky Wrath) in the distance received the battle report from those naval fortresses, his originally calm mood fell into a manic state among.

Sitting on the custom-made throne, Legney's hands trembled, and finally he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

The content of the battle report is very simple, that is, the commander in the fortress said that Amstel had fallen, and the person who captured the city claimed to be a descendant of Volsunger.

Descendants of Volsung...

Volsunger...

Siegmund...

Once a certain word is mentioned, the scene from more than 20 years ago can't help appearing in his mind.

Even though he was extremely old, even though there were many arrows and even long swords stuck in his body, the man who still seemed to have infinite strength walked towards him.

His eyes were bloodshot and his body was covered in blood, like a ghost in hell.

And more importantly, he can continue to make frightening howls.

And until now, he can still think of the battle roar that almost deafened him.

"This is impossible……"

Unable to suppress the involuntary sense of fear in his heart any longer, Legney involuntarily threw the battle report with information written in his hand on the ground.

Then, what followed was his long howl.

"That's impossible! Siegmund is dead...even his child is dead."

Although after being frightened by the sage who killed him into the palace, he always felt that Siegmund's wronged soul still remained in this world.

However, under such circumstances, he certainly had another idea in his heart.

This is a kind of luck, because he can be sure that Siegmund did die under his sword, and more than two years ago, the descendants of Volsunger who fled also died.

yes, dead...

Whether it is the sage who once frightened him or Siegmund's posthumous son, they are all dead!

Their bodies are still in the mausoleum under the city!

Yes, that's it!

There's no way they're still alive...

Just when Legney was thinking like this like self-hypnosis, another guard rushed to the door.

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived at the Rhine Ferry."

Before Legni could say anything, another guard rushed over.

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived at The Hague Fortress!"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Suddenly, as if all the guards stationed in the palace walked in, letters were placed in front of Legney.

This made him at a loss for a moment, and even at this moment, the crown on his head was about to fall off.

However, he still knew that he belonged to the king after all, so he reached out to hold his crown tremblingly.

"Take your time," he said

However, maybe even he himself doesn't know how emboldened his voice is at this moment.

However, just as he was about to receive the first letter from his guard, another person rushed in.

However, this time it wasn't a guard, it was a man covered in blood.

But it could be seen that the blood was not his own.

Moreover, the address in his mouth is also different from those of the guards.

The guards called him His Majesty, because Legney was the king, and they were the people of the Netherlands, that is, 'commoners'.

But then the person who rushed into the palace shouted frantically:

"Master! My master!"

There is no doubt that he is a slave.

But in the final analysis, he was considered a stranger to the guards in the palace, so when he rushed in directly, these well-trained guards couldn't help pulling out their long swords to stop him.

However, the slave did not stop his pace.

Even at this time, he even ignored the guards and ran all the way to the throne.

It seems that at this moment, he only has the king in his eyes.

"Master! Master!"

After all, Legney had not yet reached the stage of dementia, and he recognized at a glance that the slave was indeed from his court.

Therefore, he immediately stopped the guards who drew their swords with his roar.

"Stop! Let him come!"

Then, I don't know if these guards have his life in their hearts.

After hearing the king's roar, they quickly sheathed their swords, and then made way for the running slave.

Then, he rushed all the way up the stairs in front of the throne, but perhaps because he rushed too fast, he fell on the first square.

But His Majesty the King doesn't care about these now, because there are more important things now than these things.

"Why are you back..." he said

In fact, after identifying who the slave was, he couldn't help but have a bad idea in his heart.

Even at this moment, he felt his teeth chattering.

You know, this slave was the one he bestowed on his own child.

And his son is currently leading the army outside, acting as commander in a strong fortress.

"Where is Lu Weien, why are you the only one who came back!" At the end, Legney even started to growl loudly.

Facing the deafening voice of his master, the slave who managed to escape just knocked his head on the steps hard.

It seemed that for him, only such an action could make him a little more awake.

And at the end, he finally said those words in a trembling voice:

"Master, Held Fortress has fallen, His Royal Highness...Little Master, he told me to come back and prepare you for the battle..."

He gritted his teeth and finally said these words.

"Lu Weien, my child..."

In the end, Legney slumped on the throne all of a sudden, and then someone walked in quickly from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived at Fort Held."

But at this time, Legney felt that he could no longer listen to other words.

He only felt that his heart seemed to be beating faster and faster, and in the end, it was as if something had hit his brain.

He passed out.

Chapter 5:Nightmare

Legney had a nightmare. He dreamed of many people and his past.

Among the Hengding clan, he was originally just one of the most marginal people.

However, their ethnic group experienced a huge war, and the war with the Volsunger clan almost wiped out their direct blood.

The good fighters are all but gone, and there is no one left.

It was under such circumstances, at the moment when the Hengding family was almost on the verge of extinction, the Valkyrie appeared in front of them.

And it was in this situation that his younger self stood out.

But is he really what everyone expects?

This is not the case...

The Valkyries did not appoint any heroes, they just informed the Hendin family that they needed a leader so that they could counterattack the Netherlands.

From the Valkyrie's words, all they could learn was the vital message that 'the gods have disappointed the Volsungers', and they didn't know anything else.

Because without the name of the Valkyrie, no one will be convincing, so this is destined to be another bloodbath.

Obviously the biggest enemy of the Volsung clan is right in front of them, but a round of conspiracy and bloody battles still erupted within the Hengding clan.

The human heart is the most unpredictable...

What the Valkyrie's words inspired was the desire for power in the hearts of the people, and driven by this desire, the warriors who were still fighting against each other began to form groups one after another, and established their own factions among the nearly destroyed Hengding clan .

Originally, they should never have done this.

However, Valkyrie's words were like a reassurance to them.

Although the Valkyries never said these words, and thinking about it now, they never even gave any protection, but the soldiers all believed that the Hengding clan had been protected by the gods as if they were bewildered.

They are the new Chosen Clan, destined to defeat the Volsung Clan.

And under this premise, they began to fight among themselves.

Because defeating the Volsung family means seizing the power of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and at that time, the leader of the tribe will become the new king.

This is a certainty, and now, they are fighting for power for the upcoming throne.

Legney is certainly one of them...

He has forgotten how many plots he has experienced and how much blood has been stained on his hands from the most marginal warrior to the position of leader.

But now, he felt that those people who died tragically under his hands appeared in front of him again.

"Legney...we are brothers!"

"You can't lead the Hengding family."

"We cannot be fooled by the Valkyries!"

"Even if it is to counterattack the Volsung family and the Netherlands, it is definitely not now. We simply do not have the ability to defend Siegmund's territory."

In short, the original Hengding clan talked about everything.

One's own friends, one's own brothers, and those in the clan who were willing to analyze the situation.

However, these people are all gone.

In the beginning, it was just a struggle for power, but later, Legney even began to exclude dissidents.

"It's so annoying, the dead don't make noises in my ears! I have clearly defeated the Volsung clan, and even Siegmund has fallen under my army!!"

After various characters appeared in front of him, Legney couldn't help closing his eyes.

However, even so, he had to admit one thing in his heart: among those people who stood in front of him, some of them were right.

The Hengding family simply did not have the ability to defend the huge territory laid down by Volsunger.

The reason why Siegmund was able to defend such a huge territory was partly because of his reputation.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, even if he was the only one in the front line, in his fortress, the troops of other kingdoms would never dare to attack rashly.
