You and me under the world tree

Such a role has been replaced by the sage Horde, and the Valkyrie cannot appear in front of Siegfried rashly.

Otherwise, they will have to try how sharp the sage's sword is.

Among the Valkyries currently stationed in the Netherlands, except for the newly recruited sisters in the past 20 years, he has basically killed them.

And it's a pity that even though the Valkyries have the power bestowed by the gods and have learned martial arts from the heroes, it is still difficult for them to pass a move under the hands of the sages.

Even Sigrun lasted for a while.

As for the wife...

"Jessed, have you paid attention to Siegfried?"

"Ah."

"Then you should also know that there is a woman beside him."

Jaxide opened her mouth subconsciously. She obviously wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say a word.

After all, the Valkyrie has been keeping an eye on the battlefield.

The others are just fine, of course Jaxed, who is paying attention to Siegfried, knows this.

Siegfried always seems to have a woman by his side, but she doesn't take much part in frontal battles.

Although ordinary civilians don't know who she is, the Valkyries have their own channels of information after all.

Now more than ten days have passed since the return of the descendants and the outbreak of the war. This period of time is enough for the Valkyries to complete the interaction and exchange of information.

"Princess of Iceland."

"Yes, that's the case, and on the battlefield, even the simplest friendship will be sublimated when there is a tendency."

For this point, Sigrun obviously felt something, and even, she was experienced in this field.

"Anyway, in this regard, we don't have any room to intervene." Seeing Jahed's hesitant expression, Sigrun said.

Originally, with her current mood, she didn't want to waste too much time specially 'explaining' something.

But Jaxed is a radical after all, and sometimes likes to act alone.

In this case, Sigrun had to make her realize the extreme and dangerous situation.

"The only time for us to have a head-on encounter is when he's enthroned."

Sigrun's husband was Helge at any rate, and he was a man who surpassed the heroes of all ages in both wisdom and strength.

Not to mention, her current situation can almost be said to be 'alone'.

No one can communicate, and the once warm harbor has become a cold and deceitful place.

So, she had to turn her brain around.

"No kingdom can deny the 'touch' of a Valkyrie."

Unless they want to kill each other...

"And this period of time won't be too far away. Today's Hengding clan doesn't have any fighters and heroes that they can afford."

Yes, not at all.

Although Sigrun is also from the Hengding family, even so, she has to admit it herself.

The Hengding Clan at their peak was overwhelmed by the Volsung Clan on the frontal battlefield, and they were completely defeated in all aspects of the battlefield.

It's even more impossible now.

Because as long as Siegfried is still holding the holy sword of wrath and he is still on the frontal battlefield, then he can attack at will.

"If he wants, he will be able to directly enter the royal city and recover the Netherlands after a while."

Then, at this moment, a rainbow suddenly shone in the sky.

This sudden brilliance inevitably attracted the Valkyries stationed in the palace, because they all knew this brilliance.

"Rainbow bridge……"

Finally, the rainbow light disappeared, and a woman standing there attracted their attention.

This woman is graceful and luxurious, exuding an inviolable noble temperament.

And at the next moment, almost all the Valkyries half-knelt down, including Sigrun.

With just one glance, they can recognize the identity of the woman in front of them: Queen of Heaven.

But why did she come here?

"Slude has business to attend to, so I'm passing an order for her."

Valkyrie……

After all, this team composed of women is listed under the name of Tianhou, not to mention that she is also the leader of the first Valkyrie, so of course she has the supreme ruling power over this team.

However, since she said she was replacing Slude, it meant that this order was not sent by the Empress Dowager.

That is...

"According to the order of the king of the gods, a secret technique related to the heroic warriors is recorded on this scroll."

Then, Tianhou took out a sheepskin scroll from her arms.

"Give it to the king here, he should know how to use it."

Then, Sigrun saw the contents recorded on the scroll, and then, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"this is……"

Chapter 11: Since ancient times...

two months...

It has been two months since Siegfried captured the important Amstel Harbor.

In fact, although in the original plan, he could attack the Rhine Ferry along the Rhine River, and from the Rhine Ferry, he could even surprise the royal city.

However, he did not do so.

Even, Hodder even asked Siegfried to slow down the pace of attack, and even asked him to turn around and attack elsewhere:

Helder Fortress, The Hague Fortress.

After knocking down the important place of the Rhine Ferry, Huo De ordered Ziegfei to attack the above-mentioned place instead.

After these places were brought down, the northern part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was completely occupied, whether it was the main stream such as the Rhine River or the islands under the jurisdiction of the Netherlands in the North Sea.

In the case of Siegfried participating in the war, they generally adopt the means of "surprise attack".

Under the deterrence of the holy sword of wrath and the name of the descendants of Volsunger, the soldiers who lost their commander quickly surrendered.

So all of a sudden, not only the territory, but also more and more soldiers and troops that theoretically belonged to Siegfried.

Just looking at the number of people, even if the current Siegfried put aside the soldiers in the ruined port, he could gather an army by himself.

However, after all, it is an army that has just surrendered, and it is not easy to gain their loyalty.

For him, because he still maintains a cooperative relationship with He Huale, the only people they can use with confidence are those fighters in the abandoned port.

But in fact, these problems are easy to solve. As long as he directly enters the royal city and ascends the throne in the name of the descendants of Volsunger, he can focus on the internal governance of the kingdom.

Although Siegfried doesn't have much "practical experience" in this area, he feels that with the knowledge taught by his uncle, it should be no problem to keep his father's previous foundation, not to mention how much construction has been done.

But just when he was about to gear up and stare at Wangcheng, his uncle held him down who was inexplicably agitated.

step by step...

This is an order from Howard.

Although he still habitually hides behind these 'protagonists', in Siegfried's eyes, his words carry great weight.

So without any doubt, he did as his uncle ordered.

Temporarily abandon the positive expansion, but publicly announced the official return of the descendants of the Volsung clan.

Then his uncle even wrote a paperwork.

It emphasizes that from the beginning of the demigod Xiji, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the territory ruled by the Volsung family, so Siegfried has authority and legitimacy.

Then explain that under the rule of the Hengding family, the territory of the Netherlands has not only shrunk, but even the lives of the citizens are worse than before.

In the final analysis, the whole text is almost a bitch to the death of the Hengding family. Although the words are not very vicious, they are somewhat inflammatory.

Finally, there is a welcome speech at the end of this essay...

To put it simply, it is the last descendant of the Volsung family: Siegfried welcomes the people of the false king to come and work together to create the real Kingdom of the Netherlands.

At the same time, there is also a thing called 'Recruitment Order'.

As long as they have talents and skills, they are welcome to come to the Netherlands and join the Volsung family if their character passes the test.

There is no mention of Valkyries, no vocabulary of heroes.

What this document emphasizes is only the orthodoxy of the 'Volsungers', while at the same time exploiting popular dissatisfaction.

After all, since the Gothic prince fought all the way to the king's city and almost brought the territory of the Netherlands into the Gothic kingdom, the people were very disappointed with the king who had defeated Siegmund.

Coupled with the increasing tyranny of his recent actions, in this situation, the voice for Volsung to return to the throne is also growing louder.

Since then, the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands has been almost divided into two.

The land in the north was brought into the territory by the Volsunger clan with the force of thunder, and the sea was blocked, leaving only the southern territory including Wangcheng for the Hengding clan.

And it was in this situation that Siegfried slowed down his offensive.

Within two months, he would not only attack the surrounding fortresses, station reliable troops there, bring the surrounding towns into the scope of 'jurisdiction', but also be responsible for handling government affairs.

Although taught by sages, Siegfried has always walked the courtyard as a warrior and adventurer after all, although he has seen many kings' national policies and customs of many kingdoms.

However, it is not easy to transform one's own knowledge into one's own experience or even strategy.

Therefore, during the period when he did not use force and was always facing "government affairs", Siegfried himself could be said to have quite a headache.

Moreover, more importantly, Siegfried now always feels that he has been slapped in the face, and the slap is still slapped by himself.

When he didn't take over the handling, he felt that handling government affairs seemed easy.

But after taking over completely, he felt that his head started to hurt.

People's livelihood, commerce, taxation, population, city defense.

These things must be put directly on the agenda.

The only good thing is that because of the name of his father's generation, it was not too difficult for him to take over the land he had just laid.

Because of the sturdy 'traditional education' of the atrium world, the people's worship of heroes is deeply rooted in their bones, so it is not a big problem for him to promulgate the decree.

However, there is one thing that is different. The biggest problem in his hands is still: not enough people.

It's not the army, it's not the mayors and village chiefs in those towns and villages, the biggest problem is the 'court'.

He doesn't have the kind of person who can divide the work for him, and he doesn't have any palace.

Even if the reason for trust is excluded, there are only a few people who can be used at hand.

And once Ragnar, Lagossa, and even Princess Hervale of the abandoned port are excluded, then the only person he can completely entrust to is the princess from Iceland.

In this case, a lot of miscellaneous things just piled up on him.

Even if according to his uncle's instructions, he could first formulate the framework and hand over the content to his subordinates to fill in, but this is still an extremely hard job.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Siegfried couldn't help feeling a headache.

Even sitting in a relatively luxurious residence in Amstel, he did not feel any comfort.

Finally, he couldn't help but cast his gaze on the man who was drinking tea slowly not far away.

"Uncle..."

"Don't do it."

Knowing what Siegfried was going to say, Huo De blocked him back with one sentence.

"At that time, your father's subordinates were all people without brains. He started the war with a passion. No one used his brains at all. I had a much harder life than you at that time."

When he said this, he took a sip of black tea, looking at ease.
