You and me under the world tree

So in theory, there is really no one who can help Hodder in this regard.

So, excluding the 'aid' outside the game, can he deduce the specific source by himself?

of course can.

"The people in the areas ruled by the Hengding family are unstable, and it is absolutely impossible for them to gather a group of 'strong troops' within five months." He said

Of course, Hodder would not deny it completely. After all, there is no shortage of strange things in the entire Midgard. What if someone really likes to 'challenge themselves' and chooses to help the Hengding clan that is about to collapse?

Even, maybe that old guy somehow dragged an illegitimate child from somewhere?

This kind of thing is really possible, after all, in terms of the tone of Norse legends, this land has never lacked any 'illegitimate children'.

Hagen was an illegitimate child, and so was Half the Raven from Denmark.

However, it is absolutely impossible to deploy this kind of 'strategy' if it is just a few people.

"According to the battle report at the Rhine Ferry, those fighters under your command who have experienced the mountain of corpses and bloody seas did not gain the upper hand. Even during the battle, there were quite a number of fighters who had mastered the 'Rage Technique' among the enemies. , These soldiers seem to have appeared out of nowhere, and there are even more than 200 soldiers in number."

Although magic has indeed spread among Midgard, there are not many people who have truly fully mastered it.

And more importantly, it is not easy to fully master something like Berserk.

Every fighter who can fully master the berserk technique, and can even use it repeatedly, can be said to be a treasure, because those who can't master it will die.

"It is absolutely impossible for such a group of characters to appear within five months, relying solely on the strength of the Hengding clan."

And in the whole of the Netherlands, it seems that the only one capable of doing this is...

"Tsk."

In the end, under Hodder's guidance, Hewale seemed to think of something, so her whole face became gloomy.

"Those women and their leaders?"

"No, I know those women. Before the critical moment, they will never 'stand in line' in advance. However, there is no doubt that someone wants to kill us."

After all, some things cannot be hidden, after all, it has been five months now.

Thor was almost hacked to death, and the God of Light was attacked even though he was not injured. Such a thing would cause quite a shock in God's Domain.

Not to mention other things, there is no reason why the god king sitting on the supreme throne should not know.

And after provoking one after another, even slapping the god in the face, Huo De knew that he was already on the blacklist in terms of plot.

But the rules of the game in the entire atrium world are here after all, and it is impossible for the gods to send divine punishment at will.

There was a chance before, because no one noticed, and the palace suddenly caught fire, so there is nothing wrong with directly transforming him into a hero's 'merit'.

But he couldn't stand the failure that time, and then Hodder walked in front of people again.

In this situation, they really have to weigh up if they want to do it.

"As long as we strictly abide by the 'rules', it is impossible for them to do it themselves, so, probably those guys secretly gave support."

Moreover, this support...

"Hewaller, where do you think these powerful fighters from the Hengding clan came from?"

The answer seemed very simple, but just before Hewale wanted to answer, Hodder waved his hand.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to rest early, Hevale."

"Hodder..."

Seeing the back of the sage leaving, He Huale opened his mouth first, but in the end he didn't say anything.

God's Domain is full of human warriors, because of the heroic battle dead who ascended to God's Domain or something, this is the most popular rumor in the atrium world.

However, if you want to talk about powerful fighters, I'm afraid that's the only place.

"Valhalla."

Chapter 57: Sorry...

The days went by like this.

It is worth mentioning that after that night, Hewale found that the sage had disappeared.

Although everyone thought that the sage was just resting in his own room, but Hewale was different after all.

She knew that the sage was a man who was used to freedom, and no one could restrain his pace, so even if the war was approaching, he would still haunt him.

However, in this world, no matter when, what is important is 'arrangement' and 'order'.

It is true that impromptu performance can bring temporary benefits, but only a system that has been honed in actual combat can bring stability.

That's it for now.

The sage has already worked out a complete framework, and after sharing it layer by layer, everyone has a job, and the entire Amstel has entered a state of preparation for war.

A series of large tents with families as units were set up on the square.

Although it was also in a state of war, the residents did not panic. Even the residents living in tents were waiting for the end of the war with peace of mind.

At the same time, Amstel's granary was opened, and under full operation, the Volsunger family had abundant supplies to support the war.

Naturally, these supplies were hoarded in the previous five months, ranging from various topical medicines to food, and even various bacon products.

After all, what the Volsungers need most now is money. In the first five months, businessmen who were able to come to the Netherlands to do business basically made a lot of money.

Because not only the residents are buying, but the court headed by Siegfried is also buying a series of important resources such as grain and minerals in large quantities, and even buying horses from the Gothic Kingdom and Burgundy.

It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Burgundy does not seem to have any restraint above business.

It not only allowed businessmen to come to the Netherlands for business exchanges, but even started non-civilian trade in the name of the country, dumping a large amount of war resources towards the Netherlands.

This is of course making money, but at the same time, it is also an investment for the Kingdom of Burgundy.

In theory, the person they invested in was not Siegfried, but Hagen.

Perhaps in the eyes of those people, the higher up Hagen was, the better it was for them.

But exactly how is another matter.

Anyway, in the eyes of insiders, these "investments" in the Kingdom of Burgundy are destined to be in vain. After all, Hagen is still a "treacherous" person who eats people and does not spit out his bones.

"However, it's also thanks to the accumulation of the past half a year." He Huale finally sighed like this

She stared at the warehouse reserves and expenditures depicted on the paper, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of relief in her heart.

Few people can understand the kind of state of mind of He Huale at the moment.

When she was in the deserted port, as the leader, she often worried about food and so on. Every day, she was afraid that the warriors who went out to hunt would not be able to bring back any big prey.

As for minerals and so on, there are no such things in the northern sea area, otherwise they would not need to grind the bones of those sea beasts desperately.

In the northern sea area, minerals are rare, and only those merchants who are willing to take risks and want to pass through the northern sea area are willing to 'provide' some.

But after she was almost used to such a tight life, she suddenly saw that the book data became more attractive, and the records and data in the warehouse column made people feel extremely at ease.

However, the emotion and joy in Hewale's heart didn't last long. In the end, she still frowned.

Not because of anything else, just because war is at hand.

Then, at this moment, she suddenly felt something hot in her pocket.

And just after she took out the rune stone in her pocket, she suddenly got up from her seat.

"Your Highness?"

Perhaps it was because Hewale's movements were a little too big. The moment she stood up, another woman standing beside her couldn't help being awakened.

Ragoza, she is the 'Shield Maiden' of Hevale.

But she had long been Ragnar's wife, and Hewale never treated her like a maid.

She is pregnant now, and the reason why she stayed in the meeting hall was to accompany her 'Her Royal Highness'.

No matter if it's about being a sister or not, Lagoza never really puts herself in the same position as Herwaller.

However, she is not in the energetic state she was before after all.

As her belly got bigger and bigger, she also became more sleepy and lethargic, so she just fell asleep on the animal skin sofa in the conference hall.

It was only now that I was awakened.

"It's okay, you take your time to rest."

When Lagoza's sluggish consciousness became clear, she saw the familiar face of Her Highness the Princess.

There is a hideous scar on the supposedly pure and beautiful face, and with the creeping of that scar, even a smile will look terrifying.

"Your Highness, now..."

"Shh, everything is under control." Then, Hewale reached out and stroked Lagoza's bulging belly, "Everything has been arranged, you don't have to worry about anything."

Originally, Lagosa subconsciously wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with her and that she could help.

But when he started to move subconsciously, he realized that things were not that simple.

Because until this time, she didn't notice that she was pregnant as if she had belatedly realized that she was pregnant.

"Sorry, Your Highness." After a long while, she could only hold back such a sentence.

And this inevitably made Hewale burst into laughter.

"Ragnar is now fighting at the Rhine Ferry, and I know what you want most."

"Your Highness, I..."

"Okay, you and I have been in love with sisters since childhood, why don't I know what you are thinking." Gently stroking Lagoza's belly, Hewale smiled.

Then the one-time pirate queen cast her eyes around.

This is the chamber belonging to Siegfried. Documents and government affairs materials are neatly placed on the table. Recently, Hewale himself has taken over these sensitive tasks.

This so-called 'meeting hall' is actually a bit small in terms of scale, and the layout is a bit random.

But it doesn't matter, because Siegfried often takes a nap here, so the sofa here is surprisingly spacious, and there are even bedding.

"I'll get you a quilt."

"No need, Your Highness." Seeing that Hewale was about to go to the cupboard to get something, Lagoza shook his head hastily, "I'll just lie here for a while."

"That's fine, anyway, this battle to defend the city won't last long."

"That, Your Highness."

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Ragoza, who has always been quite gentle and unrestrained, revealed a trace of weakness inexplicably at this moment.

"Huh?" Looking at the sister who hesitated to speak, He Huale just smiled, "What's the matter?"

"I'm just... sorry."

Lagoza obviously had too much to say, but he couldn't help but say it in the end.

"So why are you apologizing?"

"Because... I'm a little selfish."

Now because she is pregnant, she can't help at all.

And after the war, she will leave too.

She and Ragnar just want to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live a good life.

"This kind of wish is quite good. It's better to say that I envy you."

Facing his gloomy maid, He Huale couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness..."

Chapter 58: Don't shoot guns

Both Ragnar and Lagosa are only 25 now, so it can be said that they are in their youth.

It does seem a bit strange to have the idea of ​​retiring at this age, to find a place to live in peace or something.

At least in the Atrium world, this performance is definitely an 'outlier'.

Because of the age of 20s, this age is the time to take risks in the Atrium tradition.

But of course, taking risks is just a 'bad move', and Ragnar's level is much higher than those adventurers.
