Bjorn's back gradually disappeared. And Ella's brows frowned deeper and deeper.
"What does Bjorn mean?" Amy grumbled, "Daughter of Ragnarok, does he mean for us to use deception to make Izkoatl lose magic power like we did with Ragna? "
"Amy, what is the Aztlan mythology like? What are they afraid of?"
"This is the first time I have even heard of the name Aztlan! Your Majesty, could you please check your library? Is there anything related to Aztlan?"
"If they are from Vinland, it is a new continent that we have never known before. It is impossible for the Royal Library to have such information."
The stench drifted in one after another, and the empty village seemed to herald the fate of Winchester. Amy tried to persuade Ella to leave here temporarily, but Ella's eyes kept staring straight at the horrible and abominable altar.
"From another perspective, can we stop Izcoatl's atrocities before he obtains powerful magical power that is difficult to resist? This can also reduce the casualties of the British people."
"How to stop it? Your Majesty, you have also seen it. That guy's nickname is Obsidian Snake, but he is actually hiding around on the ground. He is just a mouse!"
"Well, since it's a rat, can we get some rat poison and rat traps?"
"Your Majesty, if you are in the mood to make such a joke, you might as well leave here first. It stinks here, and you might get sick if you stay here for a long time -" At this point, Amy suddenly reacted, "Wait a minute! Your Majesty, are you here?" You mean a trap?”
"trap?"
Ella just diffused her thoughts casually and did not think deeply. Amy's words gave her inspiration, allowing her to further indulge in thinking:
"That's right, for rats, rat poison and rat traps are both traps. Enemies like rats should be dealt with with traps. But where should the traps be set, and how to ensure that rats enter the traps? Now we can set traps The only place that doesn't disturb Izcoatl is Winchester City. But he probably won't come here for a while..."
Looking at Ella who was in deep thought, Amy couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, if you are really distressed, I think some of what Bjorn said is right."
"Bjorn? What did he say?"
"This is a matter for England. After the agreement with Bjorn is reached, those knights will return. If His Majesty doesn't know how to deal with it, just leave the rest to England. We have successfully liberated ourselves from the Aztlan people. By conquering the city of Winchester and driving back the Scottish rebels, they have done their best to England."
"Evacuate here?" Ella suddenly clapped her hands happily, "Yes! Amy! You are really a genius!"
"Your Majesty...? Your head is not smelly, right?"
Ella agreed so quickly that Amy couldn't believe it. She thought that with Ella's character, it would take a lot of effort to persuade her to leave England.
"The person who placed the mouse trap could not predict the route of the mouse in advance. The reason why he was able to trap the mouse was because he put bait on the mouse trap! The same goes for mouse poison, which is mixed into the bait to lure the mice to eat it. .So, what can lure Izcoatl to Winchester——"
Ella excitedly recounted the plan she had completed in her mind.
"It's a misjudgment of the strength of both parties! He is in the dark and we are in the open. No matter how we increase Winchester City's defense, Izcoatl can be fully prepared to attack later. This will only increase the number of defenses. The casualties of the villagers outside. It is better to do the opposite and weaken the defenses of Winchester City. We should pretend to be panicked and evacuate Winchester. Only in this way can Izcoatl be attracted!"
Amy couldn't help but sigh - her Majesty was still unwilling to evacuate England.
"But Your Majesty, even assuming that this bait is effective, what kind of mousetrap should we use to catch this mouse? Izcoatl's level seems to be on par with the priests of the Tianfang Empire. In a few days God, maybe even better than the priest. And you actually want to weaken the defense. Without sufficient preparation, how can we deal with this brutal big rat? "
Ella was lost in thought again.
Due to the shortage of food, she did not bring many people with her to England this time. It would be better if Alfred wasn't sick and Bjorn was willing to help. With their current combat power, it would be too disadvantageous to actively weaken Winchester's defenses.
Seeing Ella's silence, the pirates didn't dare to speak, and the whole village could only hear sporadic birdsong. Suddenly, a coughing sound came from not far away. The cough was soft, but the pirates still heard it. Including Ella, everyone's nerves were tightened by the cough. Immediately, a pirate shouted: "Who is there?"
There was no answer, just an increasingly violent cough. The pirates followed the sound to the source, which was a dilapidated farmhouse. Half of the thatch on the roof was lifted away due to the collision of Bjorn and Izcoatl's magic powers, but because of the distance, It still maintains its original shape in front of it. Half of the dilapidated door fell down, leaving only a joint that was barely connected to the house, making a "beep-beep-beep" sound in the wind.
A man was lying on the bed coughing violently. When the pirates entered, he suddenly vomited, leaving a large pool of bloody vomit beside the bed.
Seeing the pirates breaking in, he was unable to get out of bed, so he could only ask with white lips, "Who are you...?"
The pirates didn't care. Without saying a word, they opened his quilt and checked whether there were any swords or other sharp weapons hidden inside. But after seeing the man's body under the sheets, they dropped the sheets in fear and left the house as if fleeing: "Don't go in! It's the Black Death! It's a Black Death patient!"
"Black Death?" Ella frowned, "I knew... the Black Death had spread to the villages near Winchester!"
"Everyone in the entire village died, but a Black Death patient has survived until now." Amy said with some emotion, "It seems that even Izcoatl is afraid of being infected with the Black Death! "
"Black Death... Black Death... Black Death..."
Ella repeated a word over and over again. Suddenly, she ran towards Bjorn's direction!
"It's not the Black Death! It's Tezcatepolica! What Izcoatl is afraid of is Tezcatepolica! And that Quetzalcoatl... Quick, we need to ask Bjorn to find out these things The true meaning of the noun!”
