You can see hard-working bees and colorful butterflies flying among the flowers everywhere.

The gentle sunlight shines down, making the gilded dome shine with dazzling light.

In the palace hall at this moment.

Zandina Trivasin was sitting on a beautifully carved chair.

She was wearing a luxurious dress with golden threads running around it, full of the charm of runes.

The dress is very loose, perfectly showing the majestic movement of the mountains.

His delicate arms rested casually on the seat handle.

On each side, a handsome male servant was beating her back and fanning her.

The white ravine is clearly visible, and the two snow-white legs are just right hanging out of the skirt.

She had a lazy expression and a deep charm in her eyes.

At present, she has achieved her wish and has become the queen of one-third of the Nordic Kingdom.

She has never regretted it since she made her choice.

In the hall, five people were kneeling on one knee and reporting something.

Three of them were wearing heavy rune armor, and the other two were wearing loose brocade clothes.

"The fighting on the front lines has slowed down."

"Guo... Ragnar no longer seems as angry as he showed before."

"However, the opponent's front has not relaxed. Instead, it has continued to increase its troops."

"It should be the second batch of levied troops arriving on the battlefield."

The leader, a thick-armored officer, lowered his head and reported the situation loudly.

Shandina's expression remained unchanged and she still had that lazy look.

She stretched out her slender fingers and tapped lightly.

The manservant next to him immediately stopped what he was doing.

Not long after, a glass of mellow wine was brought.

I saw Queen Shandina holding up the wine glass calmly and lightly pursed her red lips, making the two touches of red overlap.

She has not held a public founding ceremony yet, although she has already behaved like a queen in her territory.

But on the surface, she can't claim to be a queen.

After swallowing the drink in her mouth, Queen Sandina said in a calm tone.

"I know Ragnar."

"He's a vengeful guy."

"Although his nickname is Lion, he is actually full of desire for revenge."

"So don't expect him to compromise on the war."

"The reason why you choose to follow me is simply because of Ragnar's willfulness."

"He has failed the honor of his ancestors and is not a worthy king for the brave Nord warriors."

Queen Zandina did not directly evaluate the situation, but instead talked about the problems of King Ragnar himself.

No one spoke to her, and she didn't care.

Instead, he picked up the wine glass and took another long sip before continuing.

"Recently, our neighbor, the Kingdom of Avalon, seems to be in a lot of trouble and has a tendency to split."

"The kingdom of Vaegia in the north faces the threat of the White Walkers."

"The nobles in the two major regions of the Rhodok Kingdom have formed an alliance and have plans to openly withdraw from the Rhodok Kingdom system."

"In Kugit territory, the backhand left by the ancient orcs is erupting."

"A large number of ancient orcs began to appear in the mountains and forests."

"They are different from the current philosophy of escapist orcs, and have a strong desire for aggression."

"The Sultanate of Salander is waging a theocratic war."

"There are also a few new princes who, under the banner of ancestral fables, want to declare war on the always low-key Kingdom of Swadia..."

"The whole continent seems to be in chaos now."

"On the southern coast, I heard that Nagas are landing one after another."

"This is an era that is about to usher in change."

Having said this, Queen Sandina was silent again.

Beneath her slutty appearance, she hides a sinister heart full of keen sense of smell.

None of the people in the hall took the initiative to speak.

They seem to have become accustomed to Queen Sandina's style.

After about half a minute, a character wearing a brocade uniform who looked like a city official or a think tank asked cautiously.

"You mean...a union?"

Hearing this, Queen Shandina glanced at him with admiration.

"Old Buggy, you understood correctly."

"That's exactly what I had in mind."

"Then the question is, who should we turn to for cooperation?"

"Choose the archdukes of Avalon who participated in seizing the king?"

"Or seek the cooperation of the emerging nobles in the Kingdom of Swadia?"

"There are actually not many choices left for us."

"The northern Kingdom of Vaegia is not only in danger of the Night King's invasion, but it is also divided."

"I even have reason to suspect that one of the two parties fighting in the north has contacted Ragnar."

Shandina knows the situation on the mainland well.

As early as more than ten years ago, he began to make plans, focusing on intimidating and winning over various mercenary groups.

Many leaders of mercenary groups have signed loyalty contracts to her.

Now it has already spread its branches and leaves, scattered across the endless continent.

Became her ears and eyes.

Taverns everywhere, mercenary associations, and employment commissions from traveling merchants have all become channels for obtaining information.

Although it cannot be said to cover the entire continent.

But at least she can receive relevant information from the major giant cities and imperial cities in the seven major human kingdoms.

This led to the establishment of a relevant intelligence network.

Because the Endless Continent is so big, information can only be summarized by building nodes.

Among them, the higher priority and more critical information will be transmitted directly using special ultra-long-distance communication methods.

This greatly improved the efficiency of Queen Sandina in mastering information.

What she is currently thinking about is how to gain a breakthrough advantage instead of remaining in a stalemate like this.

After all, the actual territory controlled by the Trivasin family is less than half that of the royal family.

Not all the nobles who submitted to her were sincere.

The breakthrough point was her finding allies.

Allies are external forces that can make an immediate impact.

As long as they are combined properly, they can overcome the scale of victory and let victory pour to their side.

This idea is correct, in fact King Ragnar is doing this.

However, due to the location of the control area, the traditions left over from the Nord Kingdom and other reasons.

In fact, there are not many alliance targets for Queen Sandina to choose from.

First of all, considering the geographical location, the allies must be adjacent to the area controlled by the Trivasin family.

Therefore, all those distant countries cannot be counted on.

The only way to find allies is with the three kingdoms of Avalon, Vaegia and Swadia.

Among them, Swadia is very peaceful.

The old nobles who aim at eternal neutrality stick to their promises.
