The capital of King Ella Cornelius Scipio of Sweden, like Ragnar, was located in Gotland.
This is a medium-sized island, surrounded by water. From here, you can quickly reach any city on the Swedish coast by water.
During Ragnar's reign, Gotland was like a huge and formidable throne, standing in the east of Sweden, with the sun breaking through the night every day. Due to this, the number of ships traveling here was quite rare, even though
Having to cross Gotland by water, sailors always subconsciously keep their ships far away from this island, which is directly controlled by the Pirate King.
However, after Ella became the king of Sweden, the number of fleets traveling to and from Gotland increased. The group of people following Harald totaled 300 people and packed a dozen ships, which could be mixed in with the traffic.
Among the ships, it is not very eye-catching.
Harald did not have the courage to go into full-scale war with the legendary King of Sweden. But he still had the courage to surprise the King of Sweden in his capital and kidnap the King directly to Hestein.
Harald heard that the King of Sweden had many fire-breathing warships, guarding all sides of Gotland like fire-breathing beasts. He did not dare to expose himself at sea, so he asked the soldiers to
The flags were folded, and the linen clothes were put on the armor and jackets, and then the formation of the ships was disrupted, scattered, and sparsely mixed into the passing fleet.
Relying on these disguises, they successfully avoided people's eyes and landed on the land of Gotland without arousing alert.
"Look, you all say that the King of Sweden is full of tricks, but we got ashore so easily! Let me tell you, the King of Sweden is just a deceiver!"
Harald shouted proudly to boost the morale of the soldiers.
After Ragnar failed, Harald converted to Ares. Compared to Tyr, the God of War, who was unknown where he was, Ares, the God of War in the Seven Hills Empire, was running directly in the sky, every night.
You can watch it directly. Probably because of this reason, the intensity of the protection he received is much stronger than when he believed in Tyr. Although he has not touched the edge of "Elf Level", it is also the strongest among "Natural Level"
or.
As long as he landed on land, he could easily make a hole in the wooden walls of the northern tribes.
However, unlike Sealand, the capital of Hestein, Ragnar paid great attention to his own security. During his time in power, in addition to the outermost city wall, Gotland also built a new city wall on the inside to protect Ragnar.
Gnar's court. Although the lord of Gotland is now replaced by Ella, the two existing city walls must have remained untouched.
So Harald formulated a plan: first break the troops into pieces, disperse them and blend into the city of Gotland, then secretly gather them together, use Harald's magic to open a hole in a vital part of the inner city wall, and from
A surprise attack was launched there to capture the King of Sweden alive.
However, plans can never keep up with changes.
When he saw that there was not a low wooden wall outside the city of Gotland, but a huge stone wall, Harald, who was thinking about the surprise attack, almost didn't curse out loud.
The gatehouse in the middle of the wall is like a giant looking down at the pedestrians coming and going. On both sides of the gatehouse are solid arrow towers lined up one after another.
Harald felt a strong sense of oppression under the excessively high stone wall. He wiped his eyes more than once, wondering if he had come to the wrong place - the city wall in front of him, even if he told Harald
Lar, this was Cordoba or Paris, and he was willing to believe it.
If the crowds coming and going had not squeezed him into the city without any reason, he would probably have doubted his life under the city for the whole day.
In the city of Gotland, Harald saw another monster-like instrument. It was composed of many pulleys, with a thick boom extending from the front end.
A huge piece of stone was hanging on the crane arm. Harald stood there stupidly, watching five soldiers vigorously turning a winch under the instrument to lift the stone that used to take dozens of people to move.
Hoisted into the air.
At first, he thought that these five soldiers were all natural-level protected ones, but after asking about it, he found out that their most powerful magic level was only at the entry level. The most powerful thing is this instrument, and its name.
It's called a winch crane.
This is an instrument that has been used by the Seven Hills Empire six to seven hundred years ago. It can exponentially reduce the effort required to lift heavy objects. It is no wonder that the King of Sweden was able to build such a city wall.
As for the tribes in the north, the prestige brought by building such a wall has far exceeded any stone statues and monuments.
In the center of Gotland City, Harald found another pool with water spraying out. He thought there was a water monster in the pool and did not dare to approach it for a long time.
But when he saw pedestrians coming and going without fear at all, he plucked up the courage to ask the pedestrians. After asking, he found out that the thing was called a fountain, and it was built by the King of Sweden when he was designing water pipes for Gotland.
Harald asked again what a water pipe was, and passers-by explained hesitantly for a long time. Only then did Haralt roughly understand that there was a simple water supply system buried underground in Gotland City. People no longer needed to be old.
I ran as far as the river to get water.
But no one could explain clearly the principle of spraying water. He had to think that there was indeed a water monster under the pool, but it had been subdued by the King of Sweden and would not come out to hurt anyone.
Perhaps compared to the big cities of the Seven Hills Empire, Gotland is still very simple. But walking on those spacious streets, Harald has truly felt the oppression from civilization - the technology of the Seven Hills Empire, Bis
The tribes of Scandinavia were thousands of years advanced.
The small castle that protects the residence of the King of Sweden is indeed made of stone. To blow open such a wall requires at least "elf" level strength.
With Harald's level of magic, there was no way he could complete the planned surprise attack.
While Harald was standing under the stone wall in a daze, a lord he was familiar with walked out of it.
His name is Glahid, and he was originally a knight under "Knight King" Alfred. Due to his military exploits during the retreat in Uppland, he was given a fief by the King of Sweden, and is now a lord directly loyal to the King of Sweden.
.
Grahid's fiefdom is near Harald's capital, and Harald met him several times while hunting.
Glahid saw Harald from a distance and greeted him cheerfully: "Harald? Haven't you been summoned by the King of Heroes? Why are you here?"
Harald felt a little embarrassed and replied hesitantly: "Well...because the King of Sweden did not arrive on time, the King of Heroes sent me over to check on the situation."
"You are also here to see the King of Sweden? Unfortunately, she seems to be not in Sweden now."
Glahid walked to Harald and patted Harald's shoulder affectionately: "This is a rare opportunity. Now that we are here, let's take a bath together."
"Taking a bath together? You? With me?" Harald avoided Glahid's hand as if he was electrocuted. He didn't know that Glahid had such a hobby.
"You haven't seen the public baths in Gotland, have you? They can accommodate 200 people bathing together at the same time!"
"Two hundred people take a bath together?" A horrible picture appeared in Harald's mind.
Glahid noticed that Harald was a little surprised, so he explained with a smile: "Ah, this seems to be a habit from the Seven Hills Empire. The first thing the Swedish king did when he came to Gotland was to build this public bath. Now Gothic
People in Lan have regarded it as a social place, and they like to go there whether they are talking about things or taking a rest."
"But why is it a bathhouse..."
"Isn't it weird? In the original words of the King of Sweden: 'If there are no baths, civilization will perish!'"
