Under the sudden fire and the U-turn surprise attack by the Island Republic fleet, the Qiqiao Empire fleet docked at the port was almost completely wiped out. Only a few warships escaped, and they no longer constituted any combat effectiveness.
"Who was so smart as to pretend to be Apollo's messenger in that naval battle?" Yinpolita smiled and said to herself, "If you hadn't saved half of the fleet, the Praetorian Guards wouldn't have been able to land on the island. Clever counterattack How does it feel to be fooled by cleverness?"
She quietly left the castle in the darkness, joined hundreds of archers hiding in the woods, and then left the island by boat.
Under the blockade of the Island Republic fleet, this small island has become a cage trapping the Imperial Guards.
"What's the name of this island?" she deliberately asked the soldiers on the boat.
"Corfu!" answered a soldier.
"From today on, let's name it after Berengar, the commander of the enemy's Guards. In this way, when future generations hear this name, they will laugh at the folly of the Guards today."
As if he had become the master of the Seven Hills Empire, Yin Polita simply changed the name of the island.
The lords of the Alemannic coalition welcomed her triumph on another island. This maid kneeling at the knees of Patisipachio has been considered a figure by the lords of the Alemannic Federation.
"The Thracian Field Army was defeated by the Duke of Burgundy, and the Praetorian Guard was trapped on Corfu Island. As a result, only the Yinlirian Field Army and the Mercian Field Army were left in the north of the Seven Hills Empire. The King of Bohemia and The Duke of Bavaria is currently fighting with them, and we should immediately go north to flank these two field armies."
The entire proposal of the Duke of Saxony was supported by all the lords present. Only Yin Polita smiled and said: "Why are everyone so anxious? Why don't you find a city to rest for a few days first?"
"Rest? Where to go?"
"Of course - Ioannina."
So, on the seventh day after being relieved by the Praetorian Guards, the Alemannic coalition once again surrounded Ioannina. Different from the previous time, this time the Alemannic coalition did not build siege towers, siege rams and trebuchets. They built a hasty ladder and began to attack the city under the cover of darkness.
The defenders of Ioannina hurriedly came to the city wall with weapons in hand, but before they could see clearly where the enemy was, they fell to the ground amid wailing sounds.
The Yinpoli Tower circled under the city wall, circling and waving its hands as if performing some kind of sacrifice. Then, as if a curse had fallen, the defenders of Ioannina fell one after another inexplicably.
What attacked the defenders was not a curse, but a missing arrow. It was a sharp arrow condensed by Yin Bolita's darkness. She condenses darkness into a weapon, which is quite similar to the legendary Apollo who used sunlight as an arrow.
Elf-level magicians were originally the most convenient siege weapons.
Amid unexplained deaths and multiple threats from the enemy, Ioannina surrendered. Standing in front of the open city gate, Yin Bolita said to the Alemanni coalition:
"The predecessor of the Seven Hills Empire, Basileus, once said to me: 'The defeated do not deserve anything.'"
"He taught me with practical actions that what he said was right. Therefore, everyone in Ioannina has become a slave from this moment on."
"This is exactly what I want to tell you - for three days from today, you can have a good rest and have fun in the city. Treat them as the lowest slaves and do whatever you want!"
Three days of looting was enough to destroy any world-class city. And Ioannina is just an inconspicuous small town.
Yin Polita moved into an empty mansion full of marble columns and poured himself a glass of red wine amidst the cries of the whole city. She placed the wine under the moonlight and admired the sand and mud settling at the bottom.
"Berengar, do you see the fire here?"
Several pictures that are very suitable for the current city of Ioannina jumped out from the depths of Impolita's memory:
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
The spreading plague; the hungry soldiers eating the flesh and blood of their dead comrades; and the smelly, dark underground waterways that never see the sun.
A blond girl trembled in Berengar's arms.
——"You said you could defeat the Qiqiu Empire's army, but you didn't."
——"You said you could protect my parents and break out safely, but you didn't."
——"You said you would be loyal to me, but you still haven't."
"Now, do you think you can save Ioannina? You are wrong, you can't save anything."
She suddenly threw the wine glass in her hand. The glass shattered and the wine spread on the ground, resembling blood.
She circled her steps and spun her body until she rested her hands on a marble pillar, and then leaned back like a water snake. In the hall where she was alone, she danced using the marble pillars as her dancing partners.
The sound of footsteps interrupted her. She stood up and took a look, and saw the Duke of Saxony walking towards her from the door of the hall. She glanced at the Duke of Saxony up and down, and smiled meaningfully: "Duke of Saxony, your clothes are really neat. I thought you were the strongest here."
The Duke of Saxony shook his head expressionlessly: "I am not interested in village girls in the city. I just want to know what you think of the next step I propose?"
"Are you talking about the proposal to flank the Yinlirian Field Army and the Mercian Field Army?"
"That's it. People like you shouldn't know that the battlefield changes rapidly, and the victory or defeat of a war can be decided in half a day. You want us to stay here for three days, so you must not agree with my plan. .”
Yin Polita shook his head: "No, flanking the Yin Liliya Field Army is indeed a good plan, but..."
"only?"
Yinpolita laughed "Jiejie": "But, even if you win the Yinlilia Field Army, don't you, Duke of Saxony, still have to grab the village girl? There are aristocratic women in Constantinier, and there are many. "
"You mean, instead of flanking the Yinlilia Field Army, attack all the way towards Constantiniya?"
"Instead of attacking all the way - relying on the Duke of Burgundy alone, I'm afraid something will happen. We have to spare all the castles in the middle and rush to Constantinier quickly. And the fate of Ioannina can serve as a warning to those The defenders avoided us."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you proceed slowly?"
"If you, Duke of Saxony, just want to carve out a few pieces of land from the Seven Hills Empire, you can proceed slowly. Duke of Saxony, don't forget what you just said. The battle situation is changing rapidly. We don't know when the Seven Hills Empire will be organized. Effective resistance, or inviting allies. However, capturing Constantiniya is different——"
Speaking of this, Yin Bolita laughed again.
"I know the Seven Hills Empire very well. Guess how many of the governors and generals of the Seven Hills Empire will become emperors and how many will become kings after the death of Basileus?"
