The next day, a drizzle fell in the sky.
Amy's shout came from Ella's camp: "Your Majesty! You should be a little more conscious about your financial capabilities! Why don't you discuss the money matter with me!
! "
"Amy, you were sleeping at the time, weren't you? Don't worry, I've learned, I won't lose money this time!" Ella looked confident, "I specifically avoided the specific amount and directly asked them to pay six Take out the money you made..."
"That's the problem! By the way, you said 'money', right?"
"Yeah, all I want is money, what's the use of other things?"
"What about other properties besides money? For example, land and manor?"
Ella touched her head: "Ah, I forgot about this. But I can't take these things with me..."
"What about the moving property? Such as cargo and merchant ships?"
"It's not included either...is there any problem?"
"It's a big problem, okay! Businessmen are different from you nobles. Their money is always on the way to making money! Not even the goods are counted. Just counting the cash in hand, I'm afraid it doesn't even account for 20% of their total assets. There you go! Another sixty-four points, your majesty, you only get about 10%! And under this agreement, those businessmen will definitely rush to buy more goods with cash. In the end, I'm afraid you asked the city of Lübeck to borrow it It’s more money than this!”
"Gu...???" Ella was shocked, "Then, what should we do?"
"It can still be saved! After all, His Majesty said 'money' and not 'cash', and the concept is a bit vague. As long as Your Majesty insists that other assets besides money are included!"
"No, I remembered. At that time, he specifically asked me if he meant gold coins!" Ella was about to cry. "When I proposed the conditions to them, I did not include these assets..."
"Your Majesty, you——! Well, if that's the case, then Your Majesty will regret it and increase the price directly!"
"Repent and then increase the stakes? How shameless..."
"You didn't even sign the contract, Your Majesty, why do you care so much!" Amy shook Ella's body desperately, "Your Majesty, please think clearly, do you want money or face?"
"Of course I want money! But...but I also want face!"
Amy almost lost her temper: "Your Majesty, why don't you understand! You were completely tricked by those businessmen..."
At this moment, a pirate shouted outside the camp: "King of Sweden! We found that the gate to the north of the enemy's city is wide open! What should we do now?"
Ella suddenly turned her head: "Is there anything on the city gate?"
Just listen to the pirate's reply: "There is a man hanging on a rope on the city gate! He has been hanged!"
"Okay! Patisipachio has been hanged!" Ella pulled away Amy's hand, "Amy, we will talk about the money later. In order to prevent any accidents, we will immediately attack the city with troops!"
】
Before Amy could react, another voice came from outside the door; "Report to the King of Sweden! Just now, Rurik led his troops and rushed towards the wide-open north gate!"
"Did you hear that? Rurik has moved, let's hurry up!" Ella left Amy behind and headed outside the camp. She was afraid that Rurik would take away all the tribute money, so she hurriedly ordered her troops, regardless of organizing the formation, and led the group of pirates towards the city wall in a chaotic manner. But before she reached the bottom of the city wall, she was shocked to see the corpse hanging at the city gate. Although the face was covered with a sack, the figure was obviously not that of Patisipaccio, but rather that of Patisipaccio. Like the messenger who came to her camp last night!
"Oops! The opposition has failed! The opened city gate is a trap!" Ella stamped her foot anxiously, "Where's Rurik? Have you rushed in? Why is he so anxious!"
"Why does he always fall into such traps!" Amy, who was following him, was also anxious. "When he was in Azov City, he was tricked into the city by the Republic of Liguria. His injuries haven't healed yet, right?"
However, Rurik's generous laughter came from the direction of the city gate: "Hahaha! Don't underestimate me, Rurik will not fall in the same trap twice!"
Ella took a closer look and saw that Rurik had not rushed into the city. His troops were climbing up the stairs next to the city gate, seemingly trying to capture the city wall. Not long after, the sound of weapons clashing came from the city wall, and someone shouted from above: "Grand Duke! There are ambushes above, all archers!"
"As expected! Follow me!" Rurik waved his hand and led the remaining soldiers to the city wall. He took the lead, knocking an enemy off the city wall with a hammer, and then raised the sledgehammer to let a beam of shining lightning fall directly on the city wall!
Among the seven or eight enemy corpses burned to char by lightning, Rurik shouted excitedly: "Remember my name! I am the Grand Duke of Novgorod, Rurik protected by Thor. !”
Before he finished speaking, he triggered five or six thunders again, causing them to fall towards the place where the defenders were most densely packed on the city wall!
——However, these thunderbolts disappeared just as they were about to hit the city wall.
At the same time, a strong wind blew up, almost knocking Rurik off the city wall!
"Novgorod, a place I've never heard of."
Avicenna opened his arms and walked slowly towards Rurik.
"Is your name Rurik? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
——In Amy's eyes, the city gate slowly closed again.
"Sure enough, I still fell into the trap!" Amy held her head and shouted, "This is the second time!"
"I'm going to get Rurik out!"
Drague rushed out of the military formation, spread her wings and flew, but before he could get close to the city wall, a dozen arrows flew towards her. She didn't care at first, until one of the arrows shattered the dragon scales covering her arms, and she realized that these small arrows were more powerful than the giant crossbow!
"There are other elf-level magicians!" Drague suddenly stopped in the air, "And there are more than one!"
The crowds on the city wall were so dark that Drague could not find the caster. She circled in the air several times, and after dodging three rounds of arrows, she let out a soft voice that was different from the previous roars:
“laas yah nir (spiritual whispers).”
This is the magic of discovering life and magic. Wherever the sound spread, all life appeared in front of her in a state of red flames. She identified the brightest ones among them at a glance - first Avicenna, and then Rurik who was struggling to support himself. In addition there are five flames slightly darker than Rurik. Looking closely, the source of these flames is actually five inconspicuous little clay figures. If you look closely, you can see that the little clay figurines are clearly moving.
Drague suddenly felt a chill on her back - this magic reminded her of Yin Ben Xina.
