"Report to the King of Sweden! We captured the man named Tesosomok! He said he wanted to see you!"
Ella shook her head repeatedly: "No! He is an elf. If I run in front of him, am I waiting to be captured and used as a hostage by him again?"
"Just an elf. King of Sweden, didn't you once pretend to be captured and fight three hundred Aztlans in the city for several days, exhausting them until they were half dead? He wanted to take you as a hostage, so you click and twist Just take off his neck!"
"If you say you can't see me, you can't see me!" Ella spurred her horse forward and took a few steps forward. Suddenly she thought of something and turned around and asked, "How is his injury?"
"Both legs were broken. They were caused by falling from the city wall. The injuries on the palms and ankles that were pierced by steel pipes have not healed. They are completely crippled!"
"Then help me break his two arms with a 'click'! The war is going to be won, so don't make any more mistakes!"
What Ella said was true. She raided Bjorn's rear this time, and Bjorn's few remaining supplies of food and grass had all been burned. Even including the dry food that the soldiers carried with them, they could not last more than three days. This is the hinterland of England. They can't even retreat. Surrender is already foreseeable.
"King of Sweden, there is one thing I don't understand." Glahid, who was following her, asked, "You didn't get any intelligence at all when you sent out troops this time. How can you be sure that there are enemy baggage troops in this direction? "
"I'm not sure, I just think it's more likely. I've abandoned the camp many times to lure the enemy, and I'm very familiar with this tactic. I noticed that Bjorn was using the same tactic, so I guessed that an attack in this direction could be successful. Hit him where it counts."
Speaking of this, Ella looked slightly confused:
"Now that I think about it, this is very risky. If we fail and encounter Bjorn's main force directly, we will be finished. What on earth was I thinking at the time?"
"I see, it's experience."
"experience?"
"In other words, an intuition based on past experiences. The more experiences you have, the more reliable this intuition becomes. In war, many times intelligence is not enough to judge the enemy's intentions, and it all depends on the commander's judgment based on experience. The commander The more experience you have, the more reliable your judgment will be.”
"So, I have gradually become a very powerful general?" Ella was a little excited. The city wall of Winchester appeared in front, and she waved and shouted, "Amy, I burned all Bjorn's food and grass and came back with a great victory!"
The city of Winchester had already received the news of victory, and a dark crowd greeted Ella's triumph at the city gate. Normally, Amy would stand at the front of the crowd. But not this time. Ella carefully searched the crowd several times and did not see Amy at all. Then she suddenly reacted——
She did not send troops to rescue Amy.
Bjorn's baggage force was lagging behind, and the main force must be fighting Amy. This is simply obvious.
"Turn around, turn around now!" She suddenly raised her voice and shouted at her subordinates who had just walked into the city gate, "Throw away the captured supplies on the spot, change the rear team to the front team, and come with me to support the friendly forces!"
"King of Sweden, look over there!" A soldier on the city wall pointed into the distance and shouted, "It's Fenrir! They are back!"
Ella stared into the distance with a confused expression. When she saw Fenrir carrying Amy on the horizon, she was relieved: it seemed that her attack had the effect of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, and Amy was fine. "
But Amy was the only one walking towards them. She was extremely exhausted, and her whole body lay limply on Fenrir's back, as if she would fall off at any time due to the jolt. Fenrir stopped in front of Ella, but Amy still lay on Fenrir's back, motionless.
"Amy!"
Ella rushed forward in panic and grabbed Amy's hanging hand. The warmth from her palms made her sigh in relief.
"Amy? Amy? Why did you fall asleep? What happened?"
Hearing Ella's voice, Amy slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she saw Ella, she looked like she was about to cry: "Your Majesty, we were ambushed by Bjorn, and I was the only one..."
Before she finished speaking, Amy saw the trophies in the hands of Ella's soldiers and the welcoming team at the city gate. Such a scene forced her to choke back the second half of her sentence, and instead she asked in horror:
"Your Majesty, is this...?"
"While Bjorn ambushed you, the King of Sweden led us to attack the enemy's baggage troops!" Glahid said, "This is a wonderful move to turn defeat into victory. Bjorn will not be able to hold on any longer!" "
"Grahid!" Ella turned and shouted, "I didn't let you speak!"
But Amy had heard it all. Confusion immediately appeared on her face: "So, Your Majesty, we are bait... Do you regard us as bait?"
"No! Amy, I just want to save you. This is called in the military book to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. As soon as I attack the rear, they will retreat..."
"Your Majesty, you don't need to explain anything. You did the right thing. You are the king, and you have made the best choice for the victory or defeat of the entire war."
Amy wiped her eyes.
"I am useless. If my magic can be stronger and more suitable for the battlefield, and if Loki's protection of the great elf level is my own power instead of Ivar's power, then I can defeat those knights. We brought it back together.”
"Amy, you don't have to...you are not a combatant, you just followed them to report..."
"Your Majesty has always said this, saying that I am a maid and asking me not to force myself to do things I am not good at... But, Your Majesty, after the war begins, can you really guarantee that irrelevant personnel like us will not be involved in the war? "
Ella was speechless.
Amy raised her head, looked at the sky full of stars, and suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, I want to learn astronomy."
"Amy? Astronomy is very complicated..."
"Does Your Majesty want to say that I'm not suitable for doing this kind of thing? Or wants to say that I just need to do what I'm good at? Even if Your Majesty doesn't need my power, then I at least want to protect myself!"
Amy suddenly roared like this, which startled Ella. But Amy lowered her head again, covered her face and started sobbing.
"Your Majesty, Ivar is here again and takes over my body again. If I continue like this, I will disappear. I want to protect my own power! I want to protect your Majesty's power! I want to protect the country's power. ! Your Majesty! Please, if you notice anything in magic, please help me and let my power surpass Ivar!"
"Why do you ask me?" Ella handed a handkerchief to Amy's eyes and smiled apologetically, "It's best if you want to learn it yourself. Although astronomy is very complicated... But Amy, I think you Not stupid, right?"
