"Your life is still very long. Whether it is the building of the kingdom or other aspects, you will marry a wife in the future, you will have your own children, and you will have a happy family."

Then, probably thinking of something, Hodder's laughter increased a lot.

"However, the future may be more difficult. After all, the royal family is different from other people in terms of status."

In the end, under Hodder's words, Siegfried couldn't help but speak.

"And what about you, uncle?"

"Ok?"

"After tomorrow, what does uncle plan to do?"

Then, facing this question, Hodder fell into a subtle silence.

"Probably, take a break, I'm tired too."

"Is that so..."

Chapter 36: Why fight?

And so the conversation ended.

From the beginning to the end, Hagen, who was an entourage, didn't say a word.

For this little follower, the only thing worth caring about is Siegfried's attitude.

Hagen has always been centered on Siegfried, so when Siegfried's strategy stands on the commanding heights, he will feel joy from the bottom of his heart.

However, in this situation, he will subconsciously ignore others.

To be precise, he ignored those civilians.

However, in fact, Hagen's mentality is normal.

After all, not everyone cares about the civilians affected by the war.

Before the righteousness of restoration and revenge and the benefits that follow, the lives and deaths of those hostile fighters are really insignificant.

For the current army under the command of the Volsung family, those fighters who stand in the Hengding camp are the enemy.

No one would care about their mood, let alone their identities other than soldiers.

After they died on the battlefield, what kind of mood would those gray-haired old people treat the children's corpses?

What kind of tone should a young wife tell her father's story to a child who doesn't know what happened?

No one cares about that.

But it is precisely because of this that Siegfried appears to be extremely independent.

Hagen could see that his lord was a kind-hearted man.

He doesn't hesitate in battle, it's true, but he doesn't run away from it afterwards either.

Even now, he was avoiding killing.

He is yearning for peace...

Hagen had no way of judging what words should be used to describe such a lord.

Kind?

Innocent?

Ask for trouble?

If it was judged by those kings who were more ruthless and born to break through the siege in court battles without gunpowder, Siegfried might not even get a passing grade.

However, for Hagen, such a lord can be reassuring.

Not to mention the emotions that he had had before, just from his standpoint, the lord is not hard-hearted but easy to handle.

At least as far as Siegfried's own character is concerned, he can't do anything cunning or tricky.

It is precisely because of this that Hagen can go all out.

"call."

Rejoicing once again for having such a master, Hagen couldn't help but sigh with emotion for his choice.

Under the moonlight, the three of them walked towards the camp of the army without a word.

The camp of the Volsung family's army was there, and the endless torches and campfires illuminated the entire camp.

Under the moonlight, don't have a murderous air.

"Your Highness!"

When Grani stepped into the tent and the soldiers greeted him, Siegfried couldn't help feeling unreal in his heart.

But in the end, he clenched his fists.

Then he turned over and dismounted directly.

"Thank you for your hard work."

This night is destined not to have any extra words, because everyone is very busy.

Not to mention Siegfried himself.

Because after all, he put down his rhetoric and wanted to launch an attack when the sun rose tomorrow.

Although the strategy has already been laid out, there is always a final check before the official war begins.

He even had to do some mobilization before the army set off and formally attacked.

There are too many things that he needs to do as a leader.

…………

The night passed just like that, and when Mani's brilliance was still lingering in the sky, smoke was already rising from the camp.

In order to ensure that they have sufficient strength for the battle, they advanced the breakfast time.

Facing the light that the moon god was about to fall, someone slowly walked out of the army camp.

Following the previous strategy, the army was formally divided into two parts.

One part was personally led by the future King, heading directly towards the ancient royal city, while the other part was led by Raven Halfe and Hevale to suppress a military fortress near the royal city.

It was built by the Hengding family, and it is the largest military fortress in the Netherlands today.

To some extent, it is more difficult to conquer than the ancient Skywrath King, because it is really set up for war.

Based on this consideration, Siegfried instead distributed most of the soldiers in the army and gave them enough soldiers.

Moreover, in terms of initial strategy, their strategy for that fortress was to encircle but not fight.

Even though a large number of soldiers were given, Siegfried did not require them to make any achievements.

Soldiers enough to mobilize are prepared to prevent the soldiers in the fortress from counterattacking.

According to the original expectation, as long as the mastermind in the king's city is resolved, there will be no backbone in the fortress, and a lot of losses will be reduced if they surrender at that time.

On the one hand, Siegfried himself did not want to see unnecessary casualties, and geographically speaking, the Netherlands was not an isolated kingdom.

If there is internal friction, it will only benefit the neighboring kingdoms in the end.

Burgundy, Denmark...

Regardless of the Gothic prince who shared a common ground to some extent, it is these two kingdoms that are most threatening to the Netherlands now.

King Elf of Denmark once took advantage of the civil strife in the Netherlands to fight the autumn wind, but the Kingdom of Burgundy's position was unclear.

Although this kingdom once showed favor to the Volsung family at the commercial level-through the Hagen line, they sold a large amount of grain at a low price.

But who knows what those people are thinking?

"Thinking about it this way, even if the King City is finished, there are still many things that need to be dealt with."

At this moment, Siegfried couldn't help exhaling a breath of foul air slowly.

Just like what my uncle said, capturing the royal city and killing Legney only means the end of the grievances of the previous generation.

However, he is not from the previous generation.

After marking the end of the previous generation, he will start his own era.

After suddenly realizing this, his mood suddenly became a little delicate.

He is not afraid of being laughed at when he says it, he is really aware of this.

Unknowingly, amidst the extremely busy government life and the course of the war, he had already established his own name in the land of the Netherlands.

Then, subconsciously, he cast his gaze on someone in the crowd.

Although at night, he still carried out his elusive style, and he didn't know where he went.

But before the war started, he returned here quietly.

Then, he took a deep breath and stood up.

"Everyone!"

Siegfried's voice was not loud, but when he spoke out, the soldiers who were resting on the spot couldn't help but cast their eyes on him.

At the same time, Hagen understood, and he quickly arranged the magic of loudspeaker.

"We have finally come to this point. Maybe at this time, I should say some inspiring words and advocate honor or something. However, I don't want to do this. I don't want you to fight for those illusory things."

Then, he fumbled a speech from his arms.

That thing was prepared for him by Hagen.

However, in front of many warriors, he just raised his hand and drew the flame rune he was best at, and then burned it into dross.

"I've heard too many words, not only you, but my ears are getting callused."

Then, the hero's sight swept across the soldiers present, and his gaze even turned to the distance.

"I don't want to ask you to die generously, because I don't want you to die, not only I don't want it, but I don't think your family members want it either, they are waiting for you to return to your hometown and become famous in the small town of your hometown. "

When Siegfried's voice resounded, no one made a sound, and the soldiers were all silent.

Although some people are indeed looking around, but all their gazes are fixed on their own hometown.

"Ask yourself, what are you wielding your swords for?"

At this moment, the light of dawn fell from the sky.

Mani's cold light had long since disappeared, replaced by the furious chariot driven by his sister.

This slowly rising radiance shattered the original darkness from bottom to top.

The earth seemed to be sparked by a spark!

And in the very center of that glow, the morning wind blows the hero's dazzling blond hair.

"Answer me, warriors, what are you fighting for!"

Chapter 37: The Netherlands!

What are you fighting for?

If you want to describe it in detail, there are too many reasons that can be said.

Humans are complex and emotional creatures.

Their behavior may be some kind of rational behavior after careful consideration, but it is difficult to say that there is no personal wish and idea behind this rationality.

Especially the topic of why we are fighting, this real talk will never be able to draw a conclusion that really convinces everyone.

"Maybe you would say it's an honor, that's okay, because it's undeniable that we all grew up in the heroic stories sung by bards, and each of us aspires to be a hero."

"Maybe you will say it is money or status, which is also no problem, and I understand this, because I used to be just an apprentice blacksmith, and I was also envious of those rich guys who can spend a lot in taverns. Possessions are never something to be ashamed of."

Siegfried's voice spread steadily, and when he mentioned this, his eyes swept over the soldiers again.

At this moment, perhaps it was because the rays of dawn just happened to meet his eyes.

His eyes were even sparkling.

"Most of us are so young that we don't even have a resume."
