Amy watched in horror as Ella continued to search for information all night long.
She knew that this state was very taxing on Ella's body. She saw the sweat pouring out from Ella's body, gradually taking on the color of blood.
"Your Majesty," she whispered, "it's time for you to rest."
Ella didn't hear Amy's voice. She bit her finger and stared sharply into the void.
"Your Majesty!" she shouted loudly, "it's time for you to give them battle orders!"
"Combat?"
Ella was startled and her consciousness returned to her body.
"Your Majesty, it's been one night, has the battle plan been completed?"
"Well, it's done... No, no, no, no! Not yet, not at all!"
Ella screamed in panic, like a mental patient.
"Not yet, there are still many loopholes in the plan... there is one here, there is one there, loopholes, all loopholes! I have to fix them... I have to fix them..."
Then Amy understood: Ella had never commanded soldiers. She was suddenly asked to command this war in which many people were at risk of life and death. It was too much pressure for her.
"Snapped!"
Amy's hands slapped Ella's left and right cheeks at the same time, and then cupped them.
"Your Majesty, look into my eyes."
"I know that your Majesty is actually a genius."
"The amount of knowledge your Majesty possesses is unmatched by anyone."
"As long as your Majesty wants to do it, it can be done."
"This is not the Seven Hills Empire. The people in Zealand are pirates who plunder everywhere. Your Majesty does not need to have much sense of responsibility for them."
"They were the ones who started the matter. Even if His Majesty doesn't do anything, there will be no problem."
"Even if your majesty fails, I can take your majesty and escape. That will just change you back to the way you were in Brusis."
"So, Your Majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of. Just act boldly according to your ideas!"
…
…
Westfall. This land is backed by towering snow-capped mountains, facing the surging sea, and is only separated from Zealand by a strait. There is a coniferous forest on its east side, and a river passes through the coniferous forest and merges into the sea. After passing through the coniferous forest, you will find Uprun, the capital of the territory of Sigurd "Snake Eyes".
Under Sigurd's protection, no outsider dares to set foot here. The Telemark Territory where the last person to do this was located has been bloodbathed by Sigurd, and now only the innocent souls remain.
However, the peace that Sifor had maintained for more than twenty years was broken on this day.
Early in the morning, Harald "Langfa", a small lord stationed in the West Fore Territory, received a report - fishermen returning from a fishing trip discovered a large-scale troop movement on the east side of West Fore. It was unknown whether they were enemies or friends. .
Harald heard the report and rushed to the scene with a group of people. The place was deserted.
"Going in this direction is Lord Sigurd's capital, Uprun! But Lord Sigurd is still on his way from Frisia! Which army will pass through here at this time?"
A soldier ran over in a hurry: "Boss, we found a shabby flag that belongs to the lord of Sealand, Hestein!"
"King of Beasts? Why do his troops appear here!"
Another soldier ran over in a panic: "Boss, we roughly estimated the size of the opponent's army based on the traces left by the opponent's camp, and found that the opponent's size was about... there..."
"Why are you panicking? How many people are there? One thousand? Two thousand?"
"Probably...probably around 10,000 people!"
Harald's face suddenly turned green.
"Send someone to report to Lord Sigurd immediately!"
"Snake Eyes" Sigurd is the third son of Ragnar Lodbrok, the Pirate King of the Pirate Kingdom. His sphere of influence extended throughout Norway and more recently into Frisia. In terms of the size of the army alone, Sigurd's army was more than twice the size of Hestein's.
He was on his way to Zealand when the report was received.
"Hestein's force of ten thousand men is heading to Uprun?"
After listening to the report, Sigurd looked around him: "What do you think?"
The pirate standing on his left said: "Haystein just recently suffered a major defeat in the Seven Hills Empire. Ten thousand people, this is almost all the troops that Heystein's territory can mobilize. Unless Loland has been captured , otherwise he wouldn’t dare to do it.”
"Loran was captured so quickly?" A green and dark light flashed in Sigurd's eyes, "Hestein and my brother Bjorn should be meeting my father now. Apart from them, Who else in Xilan has protection above the 'elf' level?"
The pirate standing on his right said: "I heard that Hestein brought back a royal family from the Seven Hills Empire this time, who is as brave as the Valkyrie. Could it be that she broke through the city wall of Lorraine? ?”
"The royal family of the Seven Hills Empire? I have heard that the blood of the Scipio family is extremely powerful, and powerful magicians will be born in every generation. This makes sense. What is the name of that royal family?"
"It seems to be Ella. Ella Cornelius Scipio."
"Ella Cornelius Scipio." Siegel repeated. "When you hear it, it is the name of a strong man."
He stood up and clenched his fists vigorously.
"But I will defeat her, in the name of Hodr, the Dark God."
A few days later, Sigurd's fleet reached Sifor. Harald hurriedly ran out to greet him and told him that a banquet had been set up in Sifor to welcome him.
But Sigurd pushed Harald away.
"Since then, have there been any new movements in the Hestein army?"
"Yes, yes." Harald reported hurriedly, "We still haven't found the location of the enemy's large force, but several villages along the road in the direction of Uplon have been plundered by several small groups of about a thousand people. Judging from the information obtained from the villagers, these small units have different leaders and flags, and they should be sent out to perform tasks in an organized and purposeful manner. From this, it can be inferred that their large units are heading to Upu. Went to London."
Green light flickered in Sigurd's eyes, like a poisonous snake preparing to pounce on its prey.
"Scipio realized that her troops were not strong enough to compete with me head-on, so he wanted to attack my capital and kidnap my family as hostages? It was a good plan. It's a pity that she ignored one point, Scandinavia Ya is not like the rich Seven Hills Empire. Even if she keeps sending small troops to take turns to plunder, the scattered poor villages nearby cannot guarantee the supply of an army of 10,000 people. She will go straight to Upp without conquering West Fore first. Lun will soon run out of food. A group of hungry people can neither capture Uprun nor resist the troops I have brought."
Sigurd waved his hand, and his troops formed a long column and marched towards Upprun overnight.
Along the way they found many traces of enemy camps. Every time we get closer to Uplon, the size of the camp becomes smaller than before. Sigurd knew it was because there were deserters among the enemy's troops. He informed the entire army of the news, and the morale of his troops became increasingly high.
