When Tesosomok was in England, his limbs were pierced by Alfred with a steel pipe. He was almost a disabled person and had to be supported by two people on his left and right at the same time when walking. But this did not diminish the majesty of the leader that radiated from him. He stood among the Aztlan warriors, and the Aztlan warriors immediately waved their weapons and started shouting.
"Osomat betrayed us. He wanted to rely on his few warriors and a group of local cowards who we had conquered to harm me and the messenger of Quetzalcoatl." He shouted in the crowd. Said, "I hope he still has at least a sesame-sized wisdom left in his head. If his warriors really appear in front of this ship tonight, then we will just take a batch of fresh hearts and bring them back to Tlacopan!"
Amid another loud shout from the Aztlan people, Tesozomoc gave the order: "Now, form a formation! No one can be allowed to get close to the ship of the Lord God Envoy!"
His Aztlan warriors began to run quickly. Tesosomok looked back at Ella and said, "Master God, I have a heartfelt request. Can Quetzalcoatl protect my soldiers? This can reduce the casualties of my troops."
Ella was embarrassed. Of course she couldn't do this. But in this case, it would be inappropriate not to help the Aztlan people. After thinking for a moment, she motioned to Amy to take people to the ship to bring down a batch of iron weapons.
"Although Quetzalcoatl cannot give people protection so casually, I can give you gifts other than protection." Ella said, "This is iron. You should have seen its strength and toughness. Just use Protect your bodies with this iron shield, and pierce the enemy's armor with this iron spear!"
Tesosomok nodded gratefully to Ella. The more than two hundred Aztlan warriors also excitedly took off their cotton armor and wooden shields, and put on the equipment given by Ella.
"Your Majesty, our people are also ready." Amy asked, "Should we form an array together with the Aztlan people? Or form a separate array?"
"Let them go back to the ship first." Ella said, "Find the members of the staff. I want to discuss some things with them."
"Huh? At this time?" Amy was quite surprised, "The enemies are about to attack..."
"No. Amy, think about it, since Osomat wanted to get rid of us, why didn't he do it at the banquet?"
"Why……?"
"Because he is not sure about our strength, especially the strength of the mysterious 'God Envoy'." Ella said, "Since there was no action at the banquet, he just wanted to choose a safer time. For example - wait After I fall asleep.”
"So that's it!" Amy suddenly realized, "There is indeed plenty of time. But what are we going to discuss? How to suppress this city-state? In this case, does Tesosomoc also be called..."
"No, it's the overall strategy after the discussion." Ella glanced at Tesosomok's back meaningfully, "Tesosomok needs to avoid it. I thought I was using him, but in fact, I'm afraid he is using him. I."
Estrad, Ulf, and Hjalmar were soon called to Ella's cabin, but Dust was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's the master?" Ella asked.
"He drank too much at the party," Hjalmar replied, "and now he's lying in bed talking nonsense and can't get up."
Ella sighed. Her master has made many meritorious deeds so far, but he has also made many mistakes. He said he wanted to be a general, but among other things, he was always drunk at critical moments, and Ella was worried about letting him command the army.
"Then we won't wait for Master. Fortunately, I'm here now. If he hadn't come, there would still be five people here."
Ella asked Amy to briefly explain the current situation to the staff. After Amy finished speaking, Ella raised three fingers: "As you just heard, we are now involved in the political struggle in Aztlan. There are only three ways to deal with it. Which one should we choose? Which, I want to hear your opinion.”
The staff members asked together: "What three types?"
"Abandoning the plan of going further into Aztlan and returning to Sweden immediately is the worst strategy; sailing north and rendezvousing with Hestein is the middle strategy; assist Tesozomoc and expand his power within Aztlan. This is the best policy.”
Amy asked dazedly: "Your Majesty, you have already divided into top, middle and bottom, and you still let us choose?"
"This is based on the size of the benefit. However, the greater the benefit, the greater the risk." Ella said, "I want to open a trade route with Aztlan. Assisting Tesosomoc is the most beneficial and easiest Yes, it is even possible to end the conflict between Hestein and Aztlan, but we do not know the situation in Aztlan and cannot judge the success rate. Once it fails, the consequences are unpredictable; going north to join Hestein means With the inevitable war with Aztlan, after the war is won, trade routes will naturally be opened, but for the victory of the war, we will pay a lot; returning to Sweden, although we will also be drawn into Hestein and Aztlan. Lan’s war, but we can find a spare time to make a lot of preparations for this war and gain a greater chance of winning. Please help me choose one of these three options."
Estrade thought for a while: "If we choose the best option, then we must fully assist Tesosomoc militarily and politically. The first thing is to help Tesosomoc achieve an overwhelming victory in the battle in front of us; if we choose The middle strategy is that we can sail away immediately and let Tesosomoc and Osomat fight. It is none of our business. If we choose the worst strategy, then we must at least help Tesosomoc gain control of this city-state. Quan, so we can trade the goods here, but we can’t gain too obvious an advantage so that we can find excuses to leave later?”
"That's right." Ella pressed, "Estrade, how do you choose?"
"Of course, we want to gain an overwhelming advantage." Estrade said without hesitation. "Escaping from the battlefield or letting others go during the battle is not something that I, but all soldiers, like."
"Yes, if the enemy attacks us, we should fight back."
Both Hjalmar and Ulf, who were born pirates, raised their hands in approval.
"That's three votes. Amy, what do you think?"
"Huh? Three votes is already a majority. Even if I don't express my opinion..."
"Amy, you are the chief of staff." Ella stared at her seriously, "Tell me what you think."
"I think... there is a chance to avoid war, so let's give it a try." Amy replied, "We had conflicts with Lübeck in order to come here. Sweden is currently short of food and has to rely on trade imports. If a large-scale war really breaks out with Aztlan, and Lübeck tries to do something about trade, I'm afraid there will be a war shortage."
"A new angle." Ella thought, "Indeed, if you think about it from this angle, supporting Tesosomok is the best solution. In this way, except for Dust who did not come, it will be unanimously approved? "
Suddenly there was a cry of death outside the ship.
"So fast?" Ella was slightly surprised. It's still far from the time to "sleep". Could it be that her judgment was wrong?
