"Retreating? Weren't they still looking for water not long ago?" Ella said in disbelief.
"Tell me more carefully. How did you get this information? Have you seen the enemy's camp?"
"No, I didn't dare to get too close to the enemy's camp, so I kept lurking far away." The scout replied,
"But last night, when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, the footsteps of many people! I quickly followed the direction of the sound and sneaked over to take a look, and I saw Bjorn's troops coming in groups. Walking towards the north. I didn't dare to breathe loudly and lurked beside me for a long time. There were many people walking in front of me, if not all, there were 90% of the enemy troops! When they all passed by, I bravely touched them. When I looked at the location of the enemy's original camp, I saw that the camp was still there as before, but there was no sound, and there was no sound even after waiting for a long time! All the people inside must have left!"
"They must have discovered the King of Knights' plan and learned that Scotland was under attack, so they rushed back to rescue them!" a knight said,
"They left the camp just to delay us, but they miscalculated. Our scouts discovered their whereabouts that night. This is a good time to pursue. King of Sweden, please lead us to attack!" Ella shook her head: "I think it's a bit strange. According to Alfred's plan, they can't even transport the logistics. How could they suddenly learn the news from the rear?"
"That's because they lack food and have to retreat." Another knight said,
"No matter what, now is a great time to pursue. Even if it is to support friendly forces in Scotland, we must pursue!"
"I'm afraid this is a deliberate strategy to lure us out." Ella continued to shake her head.
"Without the protection of the city wall and the traps prepared in advance, once we encounter an ambush on the opposite side, we will be doomed." Someone couldn't help shouting: "Bjorn is a barbarian from the north, and those Aztlan people don't even have weapons." They are all made of stone, how can they think of any trap! If you are so cautious about everything, then why fight?" As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed.
Ella felt a little hot in her head. Although Alfred handed over the military power to her, his subordinates were not so easy to obey.
She could only quote Alfred's words to calm the group: "Alfred just said..."
"Your Majesty, I feel that banning them from attacking for no reason will only increase the friction between them and Your Majesty." Amy whispered,
"Does Your Majesty have any other ways to persuade them?" Ella calmed down a little. She tried her best to put aside the pointing voices of the knights, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "It's okay to pursue them, but we have to first check out the situation in the camp they left behind."
"Camp? Isn't there no one there anymore? What's the use of going there now?" the knights said anxiously,
"Hurry up and order the pursuit. If it's too late, the enemy will be far away."
"They are in the hinterland of England and cannot be evacuated so easily. There is no rush now." Ella said,
"We need to see what else is left in the camp. If there is a lot of baggage inside, it means they retreated in a hurry and can be pursued. But if all the baggage is gone, it means they are prepared to retreat. Even if they are not In order to lure us out, we must be prepared to deal with the pursuers. With the current strength gap, pursuit will be very dangerous!"
"That makes sense, let's go take a look right away!" said the group of knights,
"We will ride over with the retinue. If we find that something is wrong, we can come back immediately. If we find that we can pursue it, we will chase it on horseback first. King of Sweden, after you receive the report, you can catch up with the infantry. How about this?"
"Okay, I will also send someone here to follow you." After saying that, Ella turned to whisper to Amy;
"Amy, ride Fenrir and follow them, keep an eye on them. Also help them pay attention to their surroundings." Amy hesitated: "His Majesty often uses camps to lure enemies, so I know what to pay attention to. But Let me keep an eye on them... I'm afraid I won't be able to keep an eye on them." So Ella comforted: "It's okay. Once something abnormal happens and you can't stop it, just ride Fenrir back and report to me immediately. At Fenrir's speed, Enough to carry me to catch up with them!" Since Ella said this, Amy couldn't refuse.
So she mounted Fenrir and followed the group of knights towards the enemy's camp in the report. She felt that there was no need to get ahead of the group of knights, so at first she just followed the group of knights from a distance.
But the huge white wolf still inevitably attracted the attention of the knights. On the way, they turned around from time to time and pointed at the white wolf under Amy, which was larger than a horse.
Finally, someone slowed down his horse and came to her and said, "Such a big white wolf needs to eat a lot of meat every day, right?"
"Yes, there was a lot to eat. Your Majesty wanted to sell it several times." Amy lovingly touched the white hair on Fenrir's head.
"But he is also smart. Every time His Majesty wants to sell it, he will yell at His Majesty. Then I will take the opportunity to scare Your Majesty and say that this wolf can fight your snake. I don't care if it comes back to take revenge. Your Majesty will stop selling it. My thoughts." Back in Zealand, when Mellie released the snake in Ella's crowbar to fight Fenrir, these knights were watching.
Now that they heard Amy mention this again, the tragic scene at that time suddenly appeared in their minds: a giant snake as tall as a person and a giant wolf as tall as a person were fighting in the center of the battlefield. The giant wolf was surrounded by fire, and the giant snake had its mouth. Poisonous mist spewed out, and all soldiers who came into contact with either of them died miserably on the battlefield.
"So this is the wolf from that time? There is no fire on his body, so we can't recognize him!"
"You mean that fire? It has something to do with his master. Yin Val had just died at that time, and the flames on it were still very strong. But my Loki protection is not that strong, basically it will not emit fire. Yes." Amy said,
"The same goes for His Majesty's crowbar. When your Mei Li used it to summon a snake, it looked very strong. But in His Majesty's hands, it was just an iron weapon for fighting sheep."
"This wolf originally belonged to Yin Val?" The knights were even more surprised.
"We did hear that Yin Val raised a white wolf. It was said to be very ferocious. No one except Yin Val could control it. It ate several people who fed it. How did you tame it? "
"I've always been weird. It came here on its own. Maybe it's because I have Loki's protection like Yinval? Or maybe I know the magic of the elf-level Aphrodite? Maybe it's because I killed him Yin Val doesn’t necessarily know..." Unknowingly, the group of knights fell behind Amy.
Amy looked back and was surprised: "Why are you all lagging behind? Is my Fenrir too fast? I'll be slower..."
"No, no, no." The knights hurriedly shook their heads.
"You go ahead, please!"
