Chapter 3 Berserker and Alchemy (6)

If you observe this castle from the inside, you will find that its layout is very delicate and the walls are very thick and solid. The bland and ordinary feeling when viewed from the outside seems to be just a disguise carefully arranged by the castle owner. Two undercurrents emerged in the castle after passing through the city wall, providing the defenders with sufficient water sources; bags of grain were piled in the warehouse, enough for the army to last for more than a year; sufficient numbers of bows and arrows, rolling stones and hot oil were placed in batches There are several easy-to-access corners; there are also exquisitely designed mechanisms and secret doors scattered throughout the city wall.

If the city gate had not been opened, the pirates attacking the city would have suffered heavy losses.

Ella walked alone on the city wall, wiping her hands along the thick wall until the hole cut by Bjorn cut off the way. She helplessly turned to look at the sky. There were many clouds and many birds in the sky.

What will the sky look like when those clouds clear?

What does the earth look like in the eyes of those birds flying freely in the sky?

There was another footsteps behind Ella, and someone walked behind her.

"Your Majesty...it seems that there are rumors among the pirates that you are that 'berserker'..."

Amy reported quietly behind Ella.

"And for some reason... they all started to avoid me... and whispered that I was some kind of idiot..."

"Amy, they said that I opened the city gate. Is this true?"

Ella asked, turning around. But her frontal appearance shocked Amy: tears were covering Ella's face, and the blood and mud stuck to her when she wiped the tears with dirty hands made her whole face look ugly. Her whole body was shaking with pain, but her mouth was slightly raised, as if she was still smiling.

"Amy... I'm laughing, right? I helped the pirates open the city gate. This is obviously a serious crime of betraying the country and cannot be forgiven, but why... can't I help but laugh?"

"They are all using counterfeit gold, more than one-fifth of the nobles...more than one-fifth. If I were Barcelona on the throne, how much resistance would I receive if I wanted to investigate this matter? Finally, Can we investigate clearly? Can we successfully bring Mamelkus to justice?"

"But... that Mamelkus was killed easily by me. There was no legal basis, but I received no resistance. No one blamed me, no one opposed me, and no one accused me. He’s a tyrant… This is the first time I’ve felt this kind of joy…”

Amy stood aside, not knowing what to say. The fierce conflict taking place in Baselisa's heart at this moment was not something she, a little maid, could interfere with.

Ella suddenly lowered her head. Amy could only see her shoulders twitching continuously. After a long time, Ella slowly raised her head again, and the smile on her face disappeared:

"But this is not possible. This excitement is wrong, and the laughter just now is sinful. These are a group of bandits who robbed our country. How many families cried because of their arrival. Berengar bravely defended the country led the Praetorian Guards to launch an attack. But I helped this group of criminals and these bandits capture the castle, so they could go back to support their accomplices and resist Berengar's attack."

"Berengar will lose... This is not a group of ordinary pirates. They have two 'elf' level generals, and their individual combat capabilities far exceed our army... If Berengar loses, They can march straight into Constantiniya, and even the country will be destroyed because of it!"

"So, I must take action - for the glory of the empire."

Ella's eyes were dark, which frightened Amy.

"I am a useless Baselisa. But even if it can only play a small role...even if I die because of it...I have to take action..."

"May the glory of the empire last forever!"
