You and me under the world tree

Seeing him in such a state, Siegfried, who originally wanted to speak directly to the topic, was a little speechless for a while, so Hewale greeted him.

"Would you like some tea?"

"no need."

At this moment, Hodder's gaze circled around.

Half, Hagen, Hevale, Ragnar and most importantly Siegfried and Hilda who came in disguised as a warrior.

The core figures who symbolize the forces of all parties are already standing here, and since they are here, it means that their tasks are almost completed.

"Let's get straight to the point." Finally, the sage spoke directly.

At this moment, his gaze was already on the big map on the table.

Unlike the large map of the entire Netherlands, this is a picture of the internal structure of the Volsung City, and Siegfried has marked it with various strokes.

"I think you should have a specific attack plan?"

At this moment, because the whole body is still dripping with water, the sage has an inexplicable sense of gloom in terms of temperament.

I don't know why, maybe it's his own illusion.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of oppression.

Even though he is His Royal Highness the Prince and the only remaining leader of the Volsung family, when faced with this kind of "soul gaze", he can't help but feel that he is still the little blacksmith he used to be.

Knowing nothing, just living in daily fantasies.

However, it is different now.

"I guess there is." The young dragon-slaying hero said so.

At this moment, he had already stood up from his seat, and at the same time, his fingers were tapping on the table lightly.

He is pointing to the map.

"After much deliberation, I want to launch an attack from here."

After getting a little closer, Huo De realized that the direction he was pointing at was the main entrance of the royal city.

"This is the main attack direction."

"Well, what's the reason?"

Chapter 15: Escort

When Siegfried spoke, no one, including Hagen, spoke.

Half was drinking hot tea, Hagen and Ragnar were standing beside him, and Hevale was stroking the scabbard of the magic sword.

Only Hilda focused on Siegfried, but he didn't say anything more.

Obviously, they've discussed it, and there's definitely a consensus on that.

Now it's just a notification to the sages.

Of course, the so-called notification is actually Hodder's own statement.

If possible, Siegfried would naturally want his uncle to participate in the planning in this regard.

But from the very beginning, Hodder was in a state of being an outsider.

Although it can be regarded as nurturing Siegfried, and in a sense it can be regarded as raising children, but he is basically a free-range Buddhist.

Lectures and teaching, but generally still rely on Siegfried's self-consciousness.

And thinking about it carefully, Huo De didn't think he was a qualified teacher at all, because he didn't teach anything special.

Home possession?

There is no such thing.

A way to become stronger quickly?

As a player, he can't copy a skill tree and give it to Siegfried, can he?

It can't be done in every sense.

And more importantly, the number of times he actually gave Siegfried lectures was very few, and the content of his lectures was not innovative compared to the previous speeches to Helgi.

Also, Hodder himself does even less to emphasize the difference between gamers and NPCs and the genre of the game.

After all, if it's just a stand-alone player, players can maximize their presence.

But online games are different...

Because the large-scale framework is there, in order to fit the large version released in a unified way, some of its content is completely fixed.

Like Siegfried himself...

In the setting of the game, he is destined to become the king of the Netherlands.

In other words, as far as his life is concerned, it is the same whether there is Hodder or not.

But then again, why should I worry about such a thing?

Watching Siegfried's increasingly mature face, this inexplicable thought suddenly flashed in Hodder's heart.

Maybe it's because he's too young, maybe it's because he has some expectation in his heart.

Even though he kept telling himself that this was just a game, no matter how serious he was, it was useless to try to change anything.

But in the process of the game, he was always immersed in it unconsciously.

Maybe it's because reality is so boring.

"In fact, I considered directly attacking the Hengding family's palace."

Just as Hodder's thoughts gradually drifted away, Siegfried's extremely serious words pulled him back.

When talking about the strategy he discussed with the people around him, Siegfried devoted all his attention to the map that almost became graffiti.

Moreover, because Hodder was wearing a helmet, no one could see his face, let alone his expression and eyes.

So no one noticed that the sage, who had always seemed resourceful in their eyes, was obviously wandering in the sky before.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is indeed listening now.

"And then?" he said

His voice was already a little hoarse, but after being sealed by the helmet, an inexplicable sense of dullness spread.

The first time it sounds, it will make people feel inexplicably chilly.

But Siegfried is different, he is used to it.

So, he reached out and tapped the palace on the map, then shook his head.

"But after thinking about it, it is true that breaking into the palace can lead to a quick and quick victory, but Legney is not a kind person. He will definitely try his best to escape, and maybe even pretend to be a civilian."

Then Siegfried tapped on the table.

"So, rather than a quick battle, I want to control the city gate in advance."

Then, he circled the location of the city gate.

"During the past month, we have been recovering the land. Although it has achieved some results, it also gave them time to react. They have built a temporary outer city in front of the city gate to resist the invasion of the army, and The angle is obviously tricky."

When talking about this, Siegfried was obviously a little upset, so he couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples.

"They probably noticed our style, so they specially protected the city gate. As for other places..."

Siegfried finally shook his head.

"Other places protected by the city wall have no reinforcement measures, but behind those places are civilian houses or shops."

After all, he grew up in that city, and because of the excellent reason of hiding his identity, no one has paid attention to him.

His movements as a child were of course unlimited.

He even knew where the most famous tavern in town was.

It was also because of this that at this moment, he felt extremely troublesome, because he was completely led by the nose.

"If we bomb the city walls at this time, and even split the houses of the residents together, then our actions will have no meaning, so the more we get to the end, the more we can't make mistakes in this regard."

Since his return, Siegfried's policy has been to 'treat civilians well'.

At the end of this road, it can quickly help him secure the throne at the moment he ascends the throne, but there must be no omissions on the way.

"So, I still plan to attack from the main entrance, and then quickly control the civilian residential area."

Then Siegfried looked up.

His eyes were extremely clear, and there was no daze in them, nor any bewildered inquiries.

"Of course, I have also considered the issue of 'time'. As a royal family, it is a matter of course to build secret passages in the palace, so we must be fast and rush in as soon as possible."

He paused for a moment, then turned his attention to the others.

Half, Hewal, Hilda.

In the end, he stared at Hagen.

"So when the time comes, I will hand over the command of the army to Hagen, he is trustworthy."

After hearing what Siegfried said, the little warrior from Burgundy saluted gracefully.

"My pleasure, Your Highness."

"Besides, this is just the royal city." After emphasizing the attack mode of City of Wrath, he tapped another mark on the map, "This is the newly built fortress of the Hengding family, I think Laige Ni established this place at the beginning, it must be to echo with the king city, so we can't give them a chance to support."

"So you plan to?"

"Attack at the same time. Half and Hewal can each lead an army to 'suppress' them. They don't want to win, as long as they are firmly suppressed in the fortress."

"There's no problem anymore." Looking directly at the ugly map that had been altered by Siegfried on the spot, Hodder just nodded slowly.

Although it is only a rough framework, and there is nothing outstanding.

However, as long as it can be executed in place and achieve its results, it is a good plan.

However, there is actually one more thing missing.

"Finally, it's you, Uncle."

Just as Huo De was staring at the map, such words came from his ears.

"Ok?"

When he raised his head, he happened to meet Siegfried's sincere gaze.

"I hope you can accompany me to the palace to settle this grievance thoroughly."

Looking into Siegfried's eyes, the sage laughed.

"Hmph... no problem."

Chapter No.16: Visit

In Siegfried's complete military strategy, he handed over the command to Hagen, and on the other hand let Half and Hewaler lead the team to suppress another army fortress that echoed in the distance.

Moreover, the role of the so-called army and its soldiers is just like this.

This is not the 'reality' that Hodder is familiar with.

In this setting, there is a real god in Midgard, and his personal strength is infinitely magnified.

Huo De had done such a thing as a person entering the palace.

But now, it is not difficult for Siegfried, who has already made his own reputation with the life of the evil dragon Fafnir, to do so.

Even, with the Holy Sword of God's Wrath in hand, he will do better than Hodder in this regard.

Therefore, this strategy, which has no imbalance in terms of numbers, has been adopted.

But before that, there is actually one more thing to do: declare war.

This is actually a tradition of Midgard, very popular in the time of Harald the Wartooth Lord.

In fact, in that era when there was no mature kingdom system, the war between the two forces even had to choose the venue in advance.

However, as the kingdom system in the human world gradually matured, and various forces began to use all means for their own interests, the situation of following the rules would basically not appear.
