Chapter 3 Swedish Invasion

On this day, in May, early summer, the grass is growing and the birds are blooming. Egil got this news when he took his wife out of the city to hunt and fight in the field.

"Although it's quite interesting to stay at home to play bridge - but these days there are neither air conditioners nor electric fans nor refrigerators. At this time, it can make people feel hot. Staying at home is a bit unfucking... If you knew it, you should have asked people to chisel some ice cubes in winter and then build an ice cellar underneath to store it."

At this moment, after nearly a year and a half of the corruption of imperialism, Egil has completely forgotten the teachings of New China and has become a qualified feudal king who relies on exploiting the hard-working people to make a living and enjoy the joy.

But along the way, Egil's face was not very good. Half of the reason was because of the weather, I don't know what happened this year. The sun was so vicious in May. And the other half was because of his wife.

The couple did not bring many entourages, and the total was only 350 people. One hundred and fifty of them were guard knights, and the other two hundred were Sherwood Swordsmen. Of course, this time they came out not to entertain them. So although the guard knights were eager to try, the Sherwood Swordsmen wanted to sit for a while, but Egil gave an extremely cruel order, no. The mountains and forests along the way, according to the newly published National Law on Mountain Forestry, all the forests and mines belong to the country - that is, Egil. Therefore, all the prey in this grove is naturally owned by Egil. So whoever dares to poach is illegal. If you catch them, you have to buy them. Sherwood Swordsmen are now also people who eat imperial food. Naturally, they will not test the law with their own hands.

However, Egil was still not satisfied - it was not because hundreds of people were too moved, which scared away all the prey and other things - in fact, the stealth skills of Sherwood's sharpshooters were good, and the camouflage on their bodies was filled with grass fragrance, and they almost didn't make too loud noises.

What Egil was really dissatisfied with was that his wife was still better than him in his attainments in bows and arrows.

But this is also natural. This time Egil did not redeem the system cheating exchange. Instead, he just relied on his own to learn a little, and then used a cheating weapon like a ring. Naturally, he couldn't play professionally. Since he became sensible, he has been practicing archery and horses to the death.

However, in the end, Egil relied on hand to fight a timberwolf and regained some face for himself. Looking at the almost tearful look, he almost said: I just came out to fight the old wolf with a lame leg, Egil was not ruthless and grabbed the command knife and slashed it. The old wolf still wanted to fight back. But Egil's weird plate armor seemed to collapse everywhere he bit his teeth. The hundreds of people running over to watch also made the lonely old wolf feel very stressed. So in the end, Egil finally shamelessly killed the disabled and elderly wolf with his invulnerable armor and extremely sharp saber.

"Come on, everyone applauded." Egil said this without being ashamed but proud, and then a sparse applause came from around him.

At this moment, a spy, or a spy, or a killer appeared, and calmly retreated after handing Egil a parchment. After that, Egil raised his eyebrows and snorted softly: "Today's hunting has been cancelled." Then he stepped on his horse and ran towards London.

"What!?"

Completely ignoring the complaining voice of his wife behind him, Egil returned to London as fast as possible. During this period, he was not sure if he had killed or injured a few. Of course, these were not the key points. Egil would not calculate seriously at all - he had only one idea in his mind now.

Go back. Go back to Nordic. Go back to the snow-covered Scandinavia.

Although the British Isles also belong to the northern region, the climate is completely incomparable to the Scandinavian Peninsula where Egil is located. Egil still slightly underestimated the gentle effect of the southern water town on the hero's will. He could not say goodbye to the cute way to conquer the world if this had not happened.

There is only one thing written on the scroll: Sweden and Denmark formed a coalition force and marched into Norway on the grounds that Egil was arrogant and claimed to be the king of all Normans. He was preparing to settle the country in one fell swoop.

The time chosen by the two countries was very wrong. Egil's main army was still in the British Isles. And some time ago, news of the rebellion of the English noble alliance came. Egil was in a difficult situation inside and outside (not everyone had a pigeon spy network like Egil. They could get information quickly. The other two Nordic countries did not know that the aristocratic alliance had been destroyed by Egil). It was a good time to advance.

The coalition included 35,000 Swedish troops - all of them were elite troops who had followed Gustav on the Baltic coast for several years, plus more than 10,000 Danish troops. Following the route of the invasion last year, they were preparing to chew on the hard bone of Oslo.

In the end, Egil's spy intelligence network and his newly recruited local garrison troops rescued him, so that the situation in Norway did not collapse suddenly. Despite this, the local garrison troops had to abandon Bergen because of their small number and gathered most of the main forces in Biard. A small number of troops were guarding Oslo. Relying on the strong city to block the opponent's attack.

When Egil received the letter, it said that the other party had been sieging the city for more than three days. Although he was still defending for the time being, the situation was worrying.

"It's so damn. I haven't been to provoke you yet. You have come and provoke me." Egil said to himself. Then he quickly ordered the spy leader Wuming who rushed over quickly: "Send someone quickly and call Carter over to me, and prepare the navy. Just leave five thousand garrison troops in Britain, and the main force will follow me to go back to Northern Europe!"

The spy leader nodded and retreated. After a while, he walked in again. It seemed that he had ordered a spy to report the message.

At this moment, Egil was sitting and lying in his palace study. When he thought of the fall of the entire Norway, the best-developed cities of Bergen, Bied, and the largest fortress Oslo, he wanted to fly back to Nordic Europe at once. Whether it was the Ore Waterway toll tax or the cities developed in Nordic Europe, the population and land were all things that Egil could not give up. However, now, he could not do anything. There was no need to feel uncomfortable that feeling.

At this time, after reading the contents of the parchment, Artoria also understood the seriousness of the matter. Looking at her husband's anxious look, she comforted her: "Okay, although I have never been to Northern Europe. But what you told me before, Oslo and Biard's defense systems are very good. They also have enough garrison troops and sufficient food and weapons reserves. According to our relationship with the dwarves, they cannot obtain the siege machinery support of this race. So in this way, these two cities can be at least half a year of defense. But it only takes one or two months for our army to return."

After hearing Artoria's comfort, Egir felt a little relieved. Seeing Wuming walking in, he continued to ask: "Is there any news about the negotiations with Novgorod?"

"It's very difficult." Wuming replied: "Prince of Novgorod, Liurik, seemed to be afraid of being beaten by the Swedes. And at this moment, Novgorod's national strength has not yet recovered. Therefore, they are not interested in the proposal of uniting with us to attack Sweden. Although they have promised to give him many benefits, the man is still not moved. In addition, this time, the Swedes took the initiative to attack us... I'm afraid..."

"You're wrong." Egil showed a sarcastic expression: "If the other party is really smart, he will agree to the request of our alliance. Of course, unless there is an amazing turnaround on the battlefield, the other party's support will remain verbally...hum."

Egil made another conspiracy theory that made the spy chief lower his head deeply. He didn't dare to say a word. On the other side, Artoria nodded in agreement. It made people sigh that it was not just that the whole family didn't enter the whole family...

At this moment, on the Scandinavian Peninsula, Egil recruited five thousand troops through the system, divided into two parts, 3,500 people defended the city of Biyad, and 1,500 people defended the more dangerous Oslo.

Speaking of which, a total of 4,000 professional Viking soldiers and a thousand crossbowmen, such pure infantry, were composed of troops with no rigidity and strong offensive capabilities. From the beginning, they were designated as urban garrison troops. And the general of the five thousand garrison troops, a four-star general Anderson, also knew his mission very well. Therefore, from the beginning, when he received the news of the large-scale attack of the two coalition forces, he decided to stick to it. The final actual combat also proved that such a strategy was correct. Although Bergen in the north was captured after persisting for a short period of time, the two cities of Biard and Oslo were still as solid as rocks. It seemed that it was okay to defend for a year and a half.
