Egil finally understood. With his slim waist, he was pinched by Artoria. In the end, he got such a city that was not available. I'll just grab it...

Egil also looked at the specific situation in Iceland: there is not much land available for cultivation. Although agricultural buildings have been upgraded to luxury estates, crop rotation, and irrigation, the agricultural harvest is really not much. Fortunately, large fishing terminals can catch a lot of aquatic products. However, even so, because the environmental conditions are too harsh, the total population of Iceland is only more than 53,000. The population growth rate is only 1.5% under the bonus of n-more buildings.

And the specialty... well, there is no iron ore, copper ore, tin ore, lead or zinc ore, etc. that is worth mining. Moreover, the climate is too cold, so it is unlikely to make pottery or burn glass. The only thing that can be exported is fish... But fish resources imported from Iceland from afar? Are you full and full?!

Commercial, well, large commercial terminals and large commercial districts are well built. But you have a lot of goods and goods when you build them? Even if there is one, does Iceland have that strong purchasing power? So the market is very depressed, and there is no root hair... so the commercial tax can't be collected.

To sum up, agricultural tax, capita tax, mining tax, commercial tax - all your sisters are only more than 1,600 gold coins. It was a waste of such a big city. Egil was so heartbroken. He originally thought that even if the tax revenue was a little less, it would be good to recruit powerful troops. Who knew that the system elves said this in the end.

Seeing how much grievance Egil was about to cry. The system elf was a little unbearable and comforted him: "It's no big deal - when your technology level is enough, won't you save a lot of construction costs and still have construction time?"

"No, I think after my technology level reaches that point, a little construction cost should be no big deal. And the construction time... I think it would take a boat to transport the army to the continent a little longer." Egil sighed like this.

"So, what about the time to transport troops to North America by boat?" Aurora asked.

"……What do you mean?"

"Where have you not been to the Vikings' range of activities in history?" Aurora asked.

"Well... the five Nordic countries in their previous life were basically like this. I occupy more than half of the British Isles. The Duke of Normandy in France is mine now. What is left is the Baltic coast... This is the next goal. What is left is... Greenland, and... the New Continent of the Americas?!"

After Aurora's point of digging Egil finally came here. This outpost in Iceland turned out to be of such use.

"But...that thing...when I walked over it, it was neither the central North America with vast land nor the Caribbean Sea with good climate - but the Canadian region with the same deceptive climate as Nordics. I said, "Egil sighed like this.

"Will you not order the fleet to go a little longer?" Aurora said.

"It takes a year or two to go back and forth. This is really a bit unfunctory..." Egil complained: "Do you want me to use the governor-general system and the management method of outside colonies in Shanghai? This thing has a strong tendency to be independent. Don't end up being useless. That's not fun."

Before this, Egil had asked the system elves that the regional independence tendency and the distance between people and the capital is directly related to the distance between the distance and the capital. Simply put, the farther the distance, the greater the independence tendency. If you add the scammed-up overseas colonial management method and the system of appointment of the governor, then you are okay when you are there (Egil has always felt good about himself). Once you die, these overseas territories may not fall apart immediately...

"Don't you want children?" the system elves asked strangely.

"This...I...If...I mean...that..."

Egil was speechless.

In the end, the conversation was like many times. Egil did not decide to continue to expand to the direction of the New World... The place was not familiar with the place, so be careful to let the cannibals catch it and peel it off...

Let's continue to fight Sweden.

In September, after sending away the reluctant nobles, Egil once again assembled his troops. The main force, coupled with the newly recruited Nordic local garrison troops, had a total of nearly 30,000 troops bypassed the Norwegian Black Forest and the Scandinavian Mountains, marched from the coastal areas at the southern end of the peninsula, advancing along with sea and land, gradually approaching Stockholm, which was blocked by the navy for a long time.

Similar to other Nordic countries, Sweden is also underdeveloped and needs to rely on the fishing industry to obtain food sources. Therefore, fishing fishing is detained, fishing fishing is detained, and fishing fishing fishing is detained, and fishing fishing is detained... Although Sweden has a little grain reserve, it is really not much. Before Egil's army comes, it can organize people to hunt and obtain meat in the forest. But at this moment, the road has also been blocked. Now Gustav is considering the food rationing system...

In addition, Egir has also made some progress in diplomacy. After a war on the outskirts of Oslo, coupled with the blockade of Norway and Finland in the past two months, countries along the Baltic coast also saw that this time, Sweden is about to be unlucky. In addition, the enlistment of Norwegian diplomats, on September 4, Novgorod, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, finally officially announced an alliance with Norway and declared war on Sweden.

Novgorod's 40,000 troops were divided into two groups, heading straight towards Finland, hoping to occupy the entire territory of Finland, while the other was advancing towards the Pskov region and preparing to restore the country. The United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania was also not vague. The 35,000 troops, including 10,000 light cavalry, rushed to the two cities of Vilnius and Riga, preparing to unify the Three Baltic Kingdoms.

Speaking of which, there is a slightly more tragic country here, the Teutonic Knights. Since the Battle of Chud was lost to Novgorod, and then the Battle of Tannenburg was lost to the United Kingdom, a large area of ​​territory was annexed, and a large number of soldiers and knights were killed. At this moment, the Teutonic Knights had already lost the hegemony of the Baltic Sea coast. In addition, his godfather, the civil war of the Holy Roman Empire was in full swing, so there was no time to pay attention to it. Therefore, the Teutonic Knights had long since become a third-rate country. Although they wanted to take this opportunity to join the Three Kingdoms Alliance and beat the fallen dog, they did not take him to play at all. Therefore, the Teutonic Knights had considered it over and over again and still did not dare to declare war with the Swedes...

Excluding an indifferent Knights country, Sweden is still in a state of entanglement. The three-nation coalition army and four armies together had more than 100,000 troops, but the Swedish king could only stay in Stockholm without leaving. If this continues, the situation would be a little bit - no, it should be said that it would be a bit dangerous.

However, there is a slight problem here. The three-nation coalition forces only explained the joint dealing with Sweden, but did not explain the territorial distribution issue after defeating Sweden. Of course, in the eyes of the leaders of the other two countries, this is actually a default thing. Norway obtained the land of Sweden. The United Kingdom obtained the territory of the three Baltic countries, and Novgorod obtained the territory that it had been occupied. How great is this.

But what should I do in Finland?

Also, the tasks given by the system and what Egir needs to do are to unify the entire Baltic coast. So in fact, the other two countries are also Egir's goals.

So Egil decided to sell his teammates.

So, in Stockholm, a conspiracy began...

After revealing and confirming his identity, the diplomat No. 17 talked in front of Gustav, looking back at the past, sighing at the present, looking forward to the future, and hearing the Swedish nobles around Gustav were stunned.

However, Gustav was not fooled.

"So, to sum up, my master has always paid attention to the common prosperity and development of Nordic Europe. There is indeed a little unhappiness between Norway and Sweden. But this is just a tributary. Now the mainstream form of Nordic is--" Diplomat No. 14 said this and was interrupted by the other party.

"——War." Gustav's past face flickered under the beating torch of Yiming Yimeng. His face was very gloomy, and others had no idea what he was thinking.

"That's right, it's war - ah, no, Your Majesty, I've said a lot. What does Your Majesty mean?" The diplomat No. 14 spoke a little helplessly.

"If you don't surrender, you won't cede land or pay tribute, the emperor will defend the country, and everyone will die together." (This is what is translated into Chinese), Gustav said.

"If Your Majesty says this, there is nothing to talk about. To be honest, the conditions for my family's lord are really not very big. I just want Riga and Vilnius two territories that did not belong to Sweden. Apart from this, there is neither compensation nor surrender. Both sides are a brotherly alliance, regardless of size, and they are unanimous to the outside world..." To be honest, the conditions proposed by Egil this time were indeed very low, which even surprised Gustav. He even felt that if this was the case, then it would be no big deal to agree to him.

However, the more this happens, the more something is wrong. Smart people think more than ordinary people. Gustav is a smart person, so he thinks more. When the other party is in sight, is there any conspiracy? Or is the other party's army no food to eat? Or is it the other party's territory rebelled, so he puts forward such conditions? If this is the case, then...
