"Purple robe! What dangerous thing did you instigate our king to do just now!"
As soon as Alfred's fleet returned, Mellie flew over from another ship angrily. She hurriedly mended her clothes before the fleet set off from Zealand, and transformed back into the image of the old man in black robes in front of everyone.
"You actually let our king run to the enemy's city alone. You have ulterior motives! And you also used a trebuchet! What if the boat capsizes?"
Ella looked at Mellie with an expression of "What are you talking about?": "It won't tip over? The last time it tipped over, it was because the trebuchet was placed at the front of the mast, which caused the center of gravity to become unstable. This time I will tip it over properly. Put it in the middle..."
"What if the mast is broken?"
"It's not like the mast will be hit exactly every time. I calculated that the probability of breaking the mast is actually only about 30%. We only shoot one shot and don't consider continuous shots, so we can rest assured... "
"That doesn't sound like reliable data at all! You witch, I'm going to freeze you and throw you into the sea right now..."
"Huhu, you want to freeze His Majesty? As a maid, I can't let you do this! You didn't expect that I have already hammered many exposed nails on the deck! If you are not careful, your robe will be torn?"
"Wu? Wuwuwu? Where, where?"
…
…
While Amy and Mellie were arguing, Ella had already turned around and continued to discuss the next course of action with Alfred on the map. The fire bomb just now was Alfred and Ella's attempt to anger Gotland's defenders. If Gotland chases them out, they will destroy Gotland's troops at sea and then capture the city of Gotland in one fell swoop.
"We all went to seduce him like this, and Gotland didn't send the navy to chase him out." Ella bit her nails and thought.
"That's to be expected. Let's not mention Zipao's fleet. My fleet alone is enough to scare them."
Ella suddenly stretched out her finger towards the sea: "Then, Alfred, get off the boat."
"...If I remember correctly, this is my ship, and it is my flagship."
"Under the current situation, you and your fleet will only be counterproductive. Just leave Meili to me to prevent the ship from capsizing!"
Meili was close to the two of them. When she heard Ella's words, her white hair stood up in anger: "Purple robe! You are so rude! King, as long as you give the order, I will let her know what to do immediately. How to speak..."
Unexpectedly, Alfred thought about it for a moment, but immediately nodded in agreement: "It's a very interesting plan. I'll leave it to you for Mellie to use first. If she doesn't obey, just write it down in your book and tell me when you come back. "
"Wha... what? King... King! Don't leave me here..."
Alfred got off the other battleship, leaving the three ships carrying the trebuchets with Ella, and led the team in another direction.
Mellie saw Ella and Amy surrounding her one after another, with malicious smiles on their faces.
…
…
After several days of sailing, Ella's fleet finally arrived in Upland. From a long distance away, Ella could see the city built along the coast. It is one of several large cities in the North Sea region, and its city wall is also the strongest in the North Sea - it can be regarded as a complete wooden wall, not a wooden fence. Of course, in Ella's eyes, there is no difference between the two. But Ayla's pirates were still excited to reach Uppland, much like the peasants of the Seven Hills Empire were when they saw the Theodosian walls of Constantiniya.
Ella asked the pirates to line up their ships on the sea, then sat on Alfred's flagship and approached the coast with the other two ships left by Alfred.
"Trebuchet! Smash!"
"Shield Girl, can we just open a hole this time?"
During the siege of Lollan, the pirates were overly excited and smashed the walls of Lollan to pieces, for which they were scolded by Ella. So this time they all seemed particularly careful.
"No, just hit it casually this time! You can hit it on the city wall, or inside the city. It doesn't matter how you hit it. After you hit it, we'll have people find the rocks again, and then continue to hit it! In short, it's just one word, hit it! Give it to me Smash it hard!"
The pirates cheered together, like a group of beasts finally freed from their chains.
As a result, the city of Upland suffered.
At first, there were intermittent stone bullets falling from the sky. These stone bullets are not focused on destroying city walls, gate towers or a certain building. Instead, they fall randomly from a certain location like a lucky draw and take away a few lucky passers-by.
After finally surviving the stone bombs, heads began to rain from the sky again - the heads treated with lime were still in the air, and the lime inside was scattered out first, scalding a large number of people every time. The head that fell to the ground rolled around on the ground with a grunt, and might even give you a heart attack if you were not careful.
After Ella discovered that the pirates were squandering her carefully crafted heads, she waved the crowbar to chase them away. The pirates didn't dare to go against Ella, but they didn't have enough fun, so they had to find something else instead.
As a result, the third wave of things falling from the sky turned into a rain of garbage - fish bones, bones, sawdust, and even feces were all packed up and thrown into Upland by the pirates.
“Fus Ro Dah!”
"Fus Ro Dah! Bastard, you actually sent a great magician like me to do such a thing! It's a waste of resources! I won't do it anymore!"
"Merry! What are you doing? The flagship Alfred lent me is going to be overturned!"
"Asshole! Fus Ro Dah!"
In order to keep the balance of the ship, Mellie wiped her tears and yelled all day long.
What devastated the Upplanders was that the three ships were smashed with trebuchets for a whole day and left without doing anything.
So, when Ella appeared outside Upland again with her fleet the next day, Upland had already assembled the fleet early and was waiting for her outside the city. And when Aila lined up the fleet, Upland's fleet had already rushed in front of her with a lot of anger.
Ella sighed and issued the simplest, but most fatal order to Upland's fleet:
"Use Ocean Fire"
Due to the absence of Alfred's fleet, Upland misjudged the strength of Aila's fleet and took the initiative to enter the battlefield that was beneficial to Aila. Their fleets, like Sigurd and Halfdan, have no naval warfare capabilities at all. In front of the Ella fleet equipped with ocean fire, it was as brittle as a piece of paper.
Soon, Upland's fleet began to collapse under the offensive of flames. The first ones to flee under the flames' offensive were the two wings of Upland's fleet. Ayla's fleet took the opportunity to surround Upland's fleet from both sides.
This time, Ayla did not leave a way for Upland's fleet to survive.
Upland's soldiers danced in pain in the fire, as if the devil was dancing in hell. The familiar shout rang out from the crowd again: "Loki! It's Loki, the god of fire!"
"Why do these barbarians call the God of Fire Loki all day long?"
Ella cast a questioning look at Amy, but Amy couldn't give an accurate answer.
Just as Aila was winning at sea, a medium-sized army suddenly emerged from the land and began to rush towards the city of Upland. The person commanding this force was none other than Alfred.
