Long before this gathering, Otto had already been preparing the necessary supplies and weapons for the war.
In order not to be noticed by the pirate kingdom in advance, these materials were disguised as trade goods. They were first piled up in Hamburg, then mixed with other goods and transported to Stade, and loaded on merchant ships for foreign trade.
In the eyes of others, these merchant ships were just going out to the ocean to trade with the Tianfang Empire. But after Otto raises his troops, these merchant ships will directly turn into supply ships and sail into the pirate kingdom with him.
He thought that this matter was carried out very secretly, but who knew that pirate robbery would suddenly happen!
The messenger opened the curtain of the carriage and whispered in Otto's ear: "Your Majesty, should we snatch these goods back?"
Otto pushed back the impulse in his heart. He is a calm person. Although he is always impulsive, when it comes to making decisions, he can always handle them calmly. In this regard, he felt that he was much better than the neurotic Earl of Île-de-France.
"No. By the time we lead our troops and rush over, those pirates may have already run away."
This is a common tactic in pirate kingdoms. They often raided the coast and then boarded ships to escape before the enemy's troops arrived. The pirates have world-leading shipbuilding technology. As long as they board the ship, ships from other countries cannot catch up with them. Through this tactic, pirates can use a team of just a few dozen people to plunder a huge empire. The coastal lords of the Alemannic Federation suffered even more.
"But sir, our troops lack equipment, so the next action will be..."
"There is still a lot of inventory in Hamburg. Now that the matter is over, let them transport it directly overland."
Hamburg is an inland city. A river runs through it, passing through Stade and flowing to the sea. Although pirates once took advantage of small boats to enter the inland river to plunder, since Otto built a fortress on this river, the pirates' ships have been unable to enter.
As for taking the land route to Hamburg, it is absolutely impossible for pirates. In order to escape in time, they would not go too far from the coast. Even when Sigurd invaded, his troops did not dare to bypass Otto's territory and go directly to Hamburg, because Otto would cut off their retreat.
So this route is absolutely safe.
"Understood, sir, I'll do it right now."
The messenger gently lowered the curtain of the car window and disappeared into the dark alley.
At the same time, Stadler led.
"Why is no one coming at all?"
Ella's complaints grew louder every day.
The camp has been set up for several days, and has even been reinforced and expanded several times. The aboriginal people in the Stade Territory are also familiar with Ella and the others, and they come here from time to time to buy some daily necessities. But the transaction volume is too small. If you include the daily consumption of Aila's thousands of soldiers, Aila has been losing money.
"Why! Even if we are regarded as pirates, even if the lords want to temporarily signal troops from various places, they should have arrived by now! Why can't even a shadow be seen!"
Amy looked at all this and muttered to the side: "Isn't it because His Majesty scared away all the merchants... He brought thousands of people to do 'trade', and everyone would be scared."
"Thousands of people are not many, right? I am Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire and the King of Sweden of the Kingdom of Heroes? We are in the Alemannic Federation? I would be in danger if I didn't bring so many people, right? West Seven Hills The emperor of the empire was deposed because he believed in the Alemanni too much!"
"Hmm...it seems to make some sense."
"Run! Run! Let them run! Stade is just a transit place, they can run without any scruples. What about Hamburg? That is the headquarters of many chambers of commerce! I will immediately lead my troops to chase them to Hamburg to see them Can you still keep running!"
"Your Majesty! Wait a minute!" Amy hurriedly grabbed Ella who was about to rush out of the cabin and give the order. "If Your Majesty does this in Hamburg City, he will definitely be regarded as a pirate again! And as His Majesty, he went deep into Aleman like that The Nigerian Federation will be mistaken for a pirate kingdom that is waging war against the Alemanni Federation!”
"Don't worry, I know what I know. In order not to be misunderstood by others, I have already thought of a way to prepare the soldiers! Amy, come with me to take a look! I think they have already changed their clothes!"
Amy followed Ella out of the deck suspiciously. What appeared before her was a group of pirates wearing toga robes.
The toga robe is the most traditional costume of the Seven Hills Empire and is also the official clothing of the citizens of the Seven Hills Empire. In the Empire of the Seven Hills, anyone not wearing a toga would be kicked out of the racecourse, the Colosseum, and even the gathering square. Depriving a person of the right to wear a toga is considered a severe punishment.
Depending on the identity, the toga is decorated with different trims. The most common toga is simply white woolen fabric, while the toga worn by the emperor of the Seven Hills Empire was a purple robe embroidered with gold trim. The togas currently worn by this group of pirates are white, but with some trimmings, they can barely be considered high-end products.
"Soldiers of the Seven Hills Empire never wear toga! So toga symbolizes peace! Amy, look, no one will be afraid of us this way!"
"Your Majesty..." Amy pointed at the group of pirates, her hands trembling a little, "How many people did you let wear togas?"
"One thousand people! All the soldiers on the ship have already put on toga! Now they look like a group of civilized Seven Hills Empire people!"
"Why doesn't your majesty use ordinary toga robes, but use hemmed ones? These are all our goods! One piece can be sold for at least ten fen, and a thousand pieces is ten thousand fen! That is equivalent to fifty nomes. Horse! Your Majesty just changed hands and spent fifty nommes on the horse?"
"Gu...it doesn't matter, you have to pay first and then make money! Wearing such luxurious clothes, you will never be regarded as a pirate again!"
Amy couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Okay, I originally suspected that the traditional costumes of the Seven Hills Empire would be marketable in the Alemany Federation... As long as these three hundred thousand pounds of goods can be sold, fifty Nomis horses are nothing.”
"That's right? That's it!" Ella shouted to the soldiers full of energy: "Listen, everyone, leave half here to watch the ship, and the other half will go to Hamburg with me to discuss business!"
"What about the goods?" a soldier asked. They had no carriages and horses, so there would be some problems transporting the goods to Hamburg.
"Well...just save some money and don't rent a carriage or horse yet. Stay on the ship and just bring a few samples with you this time!"
"As you command!"
This way, there is very little cargo to move. The empty-handed soldiers picked up axes one after another.
The toga robes made it difficult to tie an ax around the waist, so the soldiers carried the big axes on their shoulders. Some soldiers found it too hot, so they took off their inner clothes and exposed most of their shoulders. In this way, this group of soldiers wearing togas, half-shirtless, and carrying large axes walked off the "Flying Zealander" in a swaggering manner.
Amy looked at it from behind, stunned. As the lord of the Pirate Kingdom, Ella is now deep into the Alemanni Federation. It is really unreasonable that the escort around her is unarmed. But now with weapons like this...will there be a bigger problem?
