Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 389 - 386: The New Duke of Norway Is About to Arrive at His Loyal Oslo!
Strike first to avoid hundred punches later.
This time the Danish-Norwegian Union, in conjunction with the recently established Tsarist Russia, launched an attack on Sweden with much fanfare. But in just ten days, Denmark, which was making the most noise, ended up being destroyed.
Originally, Tsarist Russia planned to advance via land through Finland to attack northern Sweden, splitting Sweden with Denmark from north to south. However, upon receiving the news of King Christian IV’s death, they withdrew their troops overnight and sent an envoy to deliver a national letter, expressing a desire for peace.
As for settling the score with Tsarist Russia, that would have to wait. For now, the Swedish Empire had just annexed Denmark and needed time to develop. Qin temporarily dismissed the envoy and signed an armistice with Tsarist Russia.
As for Norway, it technically wasn’t a complete country.
Norway was considered a vassal state of Denmark, and King Christian IV of Denmark was also the king of Norway.
After King Christian IV’s death, the Norwegian Council issued a statement not recognizing the Swedish-appointed Duchess Anna Catherine and actively planning to restore the title of the Kingdom of Norway.
It seems that Denmark’s destruction did not provide enough of a wake-up call for Norway.
Qin quickly resorted to two measures.
On one hand, Duchess Anna Catherine issued a statement transferring Norway’s suzerainty to the Swedish Empire, thus achieving legal legitimacy.
On the other hand, Qin personally stepped in, inviting the newly appointed Duke of Scania, Dior Fulri, to take another trip into Norway.
As for Qin himself, he restructured the Swedish Navy and dispatched mutants to land on various Danish islands, suppressing the rebellious forces of the Danish nobility and gaining de facto control.
...
The fjords of Norway are beautiful.
Mountains on both sides tower into the clouds, with snow-capped peaks contrasting sharply against the evergreen trees on the lower slopes.
The water of the fjords is clear, with a combination of green and blue, exhibiting a crystal-clear beauty, displaying a majestic landscape of white, green, and blue as far as the eye can see.
"What a beautiful place."
Bai Pu took a small boat, departing from Denmark and traveling north along the coastline, arriving at his destination—Bergen.
At this time, Bergen was already a ghost town.
A terrifying mutant monster, single-handedly creating the infamous "Blood Pool Massacre," drained the blood of all humans in Bergen City who failed to escape.
This monster was the legendary First Generation Mutant, the "Duke of Bergen."
It was as formidable as the "Blood Mist Butcher" and the "Crimson Wings."
However, this was precisely who Bai Pu had come to find.
At his fingertips, a wisp of pure blood aura appeared.
Before long, a thick blood mist floated in from afar! Within the mist, a silhouette of a bat-winged, blood-red monster could be faintly seen.
The Duke of Bergen had arrived.
The blood-red silhouette suddenly halted, crouching on the spire of a ruinous church. Its blood-red eyes were cautious yet filled with yearning, staring at Bai Pu.
"Indeed, stronger than a leader-level mutant monster. Your evolutionary instinct destroyed your human consciousness, but based on that, gave birth to a monster’s thinking consciousness. But after all, you are controlled by evolutionary instincts. Even if your rationality tells you not to come, instinct will still drive you over..."
Bai Pu withdrew the pure blood aura.
"Screech!"
The Duke of Bergen let out a sharp shriek, flapping its wings, ready to soar into the air.
Bai Pu’s response was to suddenly unfold the Blood River Territory.
A fan-shaped Blood River Territory extended out, suddenly "capturing" the Duke of Bergen.
The sudden heavy pressure made the Duke of Bergen feel like a bird trapped in a snare, struggling to flap its wings but unable to fly high, falling down awkwardly after just two or three feet.
The Duke of Bergen shrieked again as a cloud of crimson mist spread, turning Bai Pu’s surrounding vision blood-red.
Simultaneously, a scarlet ripple surged out, wrapping around Bai Pu like a lasso, pulling with force.
The blood within Bai Pu’s body began to boil, as if ready to erupt out!
[The Duke of Bergen’s skill: Sucking is affecting you, conducting a Fortitude check... Fortitude check passed!]
[You resisted the effect of the Sucking skill that would have drawn your blood out of your body, only taking the base dark attribute magic damage from the skill.]
"A Level 6 Enhanced Leader, comparable to my level and template. Without template suppression, this mutant monster dares to make a move against me."
Compared to the enslavement on Zealand Island, this time Bai Pu’s attempt to enslave the Duke of Bergen was definitely not going to be easy.
The monsters on Zealand Island, at most Enhanced Elite, didn’t even have the courage to make a move against Bai Pu. They could only watch as Bai Pu took out the Curse Seal Scroll and completed the new Blood Ring Curse Seal.
The Duke of Bergen’s resistance did not pose a significant threat to Bai Pu.
At this time, Bai Pu’s power had long surpassed a mid-level Enhanced Leader. Even if Emperor Gustav were revived, Bai Pu would dare to compete with him.
As he raised his hand, the phantom of collapsing mountains appeared in the Duke of Bergen’s eyes; the [Lasso Strike] directly dragged the Duke of Bergen over, followed by a ferocious Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts slash from the chainsaw greatsword.
The blood mist surrounding the Duke of Bergen seemed to be a nascent domain ability, providing some resistance against Bai Pu’s Blood River Territory.
However, the "Restricted Sprint Skill" effect was decidedly present, and the new Level 7 Effect [Deformation] limits sprint-type skills with a priority of no more than 8, just enough to encompass the Enhanced Leader level Duke of Bergen!
After taking a Mountain Shattering strike, the Duke of Bergen’s body was cut with a black-red gash. It struggled to flap its wings, but its speed could not increase, only gliding, landing, and gliding again, like a startled hen.
Bai Pu activated Gang Wind Falling Blade, maneuvering closely in pursuit of the Duke of Bergen.
The two "people’s" figures appeared now at the corners of streets, now above church spires, and now over the rippling blood-red surface of the river.
In every instance, it was the Duke of Bergen fleeing and Bai Pu in pursuit, chopping down fiercely, one sword after another, like mincing with cleavers!
The Duke of Bergen quickly fell into a severely injured state, completely subdued.
Bai Pu then used the Curse Seal Scroll to control the Duke of Bergen, tossing him like a dead dog into the boat’s cabin.
"Next target... ’Golden Wolf’ Reoli? Just at level 6 Leader level."
Bai Pu raised the sails. Driven by Gang Wind Mystical Arts, the small sailboat moved automatically, continuing to sail along the picturesque Nordic fjords.
As an original possession of Denmark, Norway had few troops or powerful individuals.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have allowed the "Duke of Bergen" and many mutant leaders to act so tyrannically on its territory.
On Bai Pu’s first day in Norway, he was discovered by Norwegians, and the Norwegian Council urgently convened to discuss the increasingly serious situation.
The first day’s topic was how to respond to the "Monster of Scania landing in Bergen."
On the second day, the topic shifted to "The Cannibal King advancing toward Stavanger."
On the third day, the topic was "The invader entering Trondheim."
On the fourth day: "Dior Fulri’s Mutant Legion occupies Agder."
On the fifth day: "The new Duke of Norway is about to arrive at his loyal Oslo."
When Bai Pu, along with several leader-level mutant monsters and the Enhanced Leader mutant Duke of Bergen, openly entered Oslo City, the Norwegian Council could only greet them with trepidation.
