Although the old lord's words sounded strange, Ella was more concerned about "rushing to the aid of the Island Republic". The old lord didn't seem to be able to communicate normally, so Ella asked the minister in a low voice: "Is the lord in the territory next door an ally of the Island Republic? The Island Republic also told you about this? What is going on here? thing?"
Seeing that Aila did not get angry at his lord's unreasonable request, the minister felt a little relieved and replied, "That's right, the island republic has a great trade influence in the southern part of our Alemanni Federation. Probably A year ago, their governor sent someone to our Innstria and asked if we were willing to send troops to the Seven Hills Empire to 'make fortune' together. Our lords were afraid of the Seven Hills Empire and refused. I heard that it is not just us, Aleman Many lords in the southern part of the Nigerian Federation have received envoys sent by the Governor of the Island Republic."
"All the lords agreed?"
"How can you? If we really unite, we can still fight against the Qiqiu Empire. But how can we unite? The Qiqiu Empire is a big country. Who wants to be the first to die? A few days ago, the Island Republic sent people to ask for help again, but looking at the current situation, the Island Republic is afraid that it will lose soon, and who is willing to help him? Only the lord next door is doing good things, so he would think of leading troops to intervene. It’s a kick.”
"Hmm... I understand, then let's pretend to be bandits and tie up the lord - how will the spoils be distributed, and what percent are you going to take?"
The minister didn't expect Ella to really agree, so he hurriedly said, "It's all for you, all for you! If we interfere in the distribution of the spoils, wouldn't we mean that we are related to this incident?"
"Then what else is there to say!" Ella grabbed the minister's hand excitedly, "Where is the enemy planning to go? Is there a suitable place for an ambush on the route? Take me there quickly!"
This was an opportunity to capture the lord to subsidize the military, and Ella would not let it go. Moreover, the lord was preparing to go against the Qiqiu Empire, and Ella felt no burden at all.
According to Instria's intelligence, the enemy lord's strength is only about a thousand. It has now crossed the border into Insteria and is heading towards the coast. It seems that it is preparing to take a boat to the island republic.
Ella found a small hillside next to the enemy's marching route. As a bandit, the camp is not spacious enough, but it is more than enough to temporarily ambush a small force. Ella drew eight hundred men from her army and asked the lords of Insteria for eight hundred sets of local costumes.
Due to the racial gap, the pirates could still vaguely tell that they were tribes from the far north after changing their clothes. But Ella didn't care about that. All she cared about was how much money she could get in exchange for tying up that lord.
"I let Anna run away last time, and I lost a total of 200,000 Nomis horses. We must get them back from this lord!"
Pirates dug traps in the hills. While inspecting their progress, Ella told Amy her plan to make money.
Amy poured cold water on the side in a low voice: "Your Majesty... I don't think you can get so much money even if you sell the entire territory opposite. You see, you can only pull out a thousand people from the opposite side..."

"Wait! You! What are you doing here?"
Ella suddenly shouted at a few pirates who were digging holes.
"We? Are we digging a trap?"
The pirates raised their gray and muddy faces from the pit in confusion, wondering why their King of Sweden was suddenly so excited.
"I see the trap! I mean, what are you holding in your hands?"
The pirates looked at what they were holding, which were sharpened wooden stakes. They are driving these stakes into the bottom of the pit to make it more lethal.
Ella stamped her feet vigorously: "We are not here to kill people! We are here to kidnap the lord opposite for ransom! If the lord opposite falls into a pit and is stabbed to death, won't our work for Yinstria be in vain? Take this dangerous thing away quickly! Take it away!"
Before she finished speaking, Ella noticed the movements of several pirates in the distance and immediately shouted again: "Over there! What are you doing again!"
Several pirates who were called by Ella turned back to look at Ella in confusion. The four of them worked together to hold a log and were about to hang it on the tree with a rope.
"Just knock him over. Do you use such a big piece of wood to knock the lord across the street into a pulp? It's too dangerous. Take it down, take it down!"
Amy couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty! Not everything will hit the lord opposite! The enemy will pass by the road down the mountain tomorrow afternoon. If you give such command, how can they fight?"
Ella glanced at the road down the mountain and suddenly felt stunned. She didn't know if she heard Amy's words.
"Amy... let me confirm, we are on the mountain now?"
"...Your Majesty, do you have a fever?"
"And where is the marching road?"
"Yes, the enemy is expected to pass there tomorrow afternoon. Is there any problem?"
Ella held her head and wailed: "What a big problem! I just want to find the nearest hill, but look at this hill and that road, there is a full two arrows distance between them! Ordinary bows and arrows can't even shoot No! The enemy is marching on the road normally, why are they running towards the mountains?"
"Hmm... can't you think of a way to lure the other side up the mountain? Send people to harass you, and then fake defeat to lure the other side here..."
"Isn't that an organized and premeditated military operation? And it's still within the Republic of Instria! Think about it carefully, it's not normal for more than 800 people to be ambushed on this hill - no matter how you defend it, the opponent No one will believe that we are bandits! Once the two sides start a war, who knows how many allies will be drawn, and we will be dragged into the war!"
"In that case, I have an idea." Amy lowered her voice and said, "As long as Insteria also suffers a little loss. In this way, we will be considered a third-party force."
"What a great idea, Amy! Let's use Rurik's flag instead!"
"It's...huh? W-what?"
"It was Rurik who kidnapped the other lord! And it was me, the King of Sweden, who gave Instria mercenaries! Although they are both pirates from the north, they belong to different forces! The extremely vicious Rurik attacked both sides at the same time. The lord has no connection with Insteria at all. You see, this makes sense!"

"...Will Rurik agree?"
"Use Avro's protection..."
"Don't mess with my Aphrodite's protection!"
…
"It doesn't matter, just take it and use it. My banner is to scare them out of their wits!"
After hearing Ella's plan, Rurik graciously agreed without waiting for Amy to use magic.
