Chapter 26: Starting a War (5)

In fact, if you have a careful analysis, even if Ella can mass-produce this poison, it will only restore the mortality rate of the Duke of Aquitaine to an ordinary level. What's more, this poison will have to be delayed by two days before it can take effect. In these two days, soldiers can do much more things than normal deaths.

However, when a person first gets something and then loses it, his reaction will be much greater than never getting it.

"The Duke of Aquitaine used this potion as a magic weapon to win, and used it to boost the morale of the soldiers. So now, when the potion is 'ineffective', he deserves the backlash brought by this propaganda. I guess, the morale of the Duke of Aquitaine's army must have been lowered to a point now, so he chose to go back and rest - in short, when we launch a surprise attack, they will no longer fight to the death because they are not afraid of death, and may even be more prone to failure than ordinary troops because they value life and death too much."

"Well, we've managed to get rid of them?"

"This is not a good thing. Our goal is to wipe them out completely, not to get rid of them." Ella began to ponder again, "I just wanted to make them feel less morale. I didn't expect that he would retreat directly with the army. He was too cautious. Am I that scary?"

Jiber complained: "With such a force, I think that I will wipe out the Duke of Aquitaine's army. I think this idea alone is enough to scare."

Amy made a suggestion: "Or why should we take this opportunity to annihilate the cavalry first?"

"No, our main force is in the hands of Afu and Caroling. The manpower here alone is not enough to annihilate a light cavalry. Moreover, in such a battle, things that we don't have enough poison will be exposed. Using this price to exchange for a light cavalry on the opposite side will be too small."

After thinking for a while, Ella slapped her hand violently: "Come on paper and pen! I'll write a letter of help!"

"A letter of help? The one who has been sent to the Duke of Normandy has long been sent out. Who else can we ask for help?"

"Call out the Duke of Brittany!"

"Is the Duke of Brittany also from our side... Wait a minute, who???"

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Ella wrote a letter. The content of the letter was roughly the urgency of the battle, the enemy was pursuing relentlessly, and the Duke of Normandy was insufficient. Please ask the Duke of Brittany to speed up the advance and at least send a vanguard to rescue first.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Giber was stunned, "The Principality of Brittany...will it really bring troops to ask for help?"

Amy had already reacted: "I understand that this letter was not for the Duke of Brittany, but for the Duke of Aquitaine! You have to create an illusion that time is not conducive to him, so that he can chase him in a low morale! But... how can you let the Duke of Aquitaine see this letter?"

"Leave it to Dust," Ella said, "he will definitely get it done."

After handing the letter to the warriors of Aztland, Ella continued to march, and that evening they arrived at a fortress closest to the border of the Duke of Normandy.

To Ella's expectations, the army of the Duke of Normandy was displayed on the border, and even the injured Duke of Normandy had arrived at the front line in person and rode a horse to greet Ella.

"In the past, I was not good at taking sides. But since several candidates have joined forces to attack the Duke of Aquitaine, no one can say anything if I take action. And..."

The Duke of Normandytan looked at the rebel army behind Ella, and his expression suddenly changed:

"Why are there only one group of peasants? I thought the Swedish king would come with a more elite force."

The reaction of the Duke of Normandy was completely within Ella's expectations. This was a swaying guy. Although he did have a grudge against the Duke of Aquitaine, the politics between the nobles could not be judged by simple hatred. He had secretly transported weapons to Ella before, but he wanted to use Ella to attack the Duke of Aquitaine to become a bigger force. Rather than saying that he was on Ella's side, he was on the side of victory.

Not only him, but most of the princes of the Almani Federation were like this. This is why Ella did not count the forces of the Duke of Normandy and the forces of other captured nobles in combat power.

"The army of the king of Bohemia and other lords are stationed in another place. My men are just a trap to lure the enemy into division of troops." Ella replied, "Don't worry, the Duke of Aquitaine is already a bug that falls into a spider web. Although he can still struggle, he will definitely die."

"So that's it." The Duke of Normandy breathed a sigh of relief. However, he soon frowned again: "You are the traps that lure the enemy into, that is, the task of undertaking the attack of the Duke of Aquitaine's army is mainly on me?"

"I know how powerful an immortal army is," said Ella. "But, in my plan, there is no Duke, your army. If you don't want to be enemies with the Duke of Aquitaine head-on, it's okay to disband the army and bring it back now."

"I have brought the army with you," the Duke of Normandy rubbed his hands, "But... if the damage is too big, I will be very troubled. Does Sweden have any plans?"

"If possible, I hope you use the castle to block the Duke of Aquitaine's army. But don't have a head-on conflict with them." Ella said, "You should defend the castle and wait for the opposite side to build siege equipment. Seeing that the opposite side is about to build, retreat quietly to guard the next castle, just delay the time."

"I'm delaying time here... Then King of Sweden, what are you doing?"

"Me?" Ella replied, "Of course I brought my army into the sea, entered the Seine from the sea, and attacked Paris directly!"

"Attack Paris?"

The Duke of Normandy's eyes widened for a moment. Then, he nodded and exclaimed:

"A clever plan. The Duke of Aquitaine stayed away from his territory, and all supplies came from Paris. Taking advantage of his breaking his retreat when he entered my territory, they could only surrender!"

"No, your majesty, why haven't I heard of this?" Amy whispered behind Ella, "We really want to use this peasant army to attack the fortress in Paris? Is this impossible to capture?"

"Amy, when you hear the Seine attacking Paris, will you think of this peasant uprising army?" Ella also explained in a low voice, "The Duke of Normandy thought I would mobilize the army of the pirate kingdom. The Duke of Aquitaine would also think so. If I move, his army will definitely have corresponding actions. We will see the opportunity and act again."

"But your Majesty, what you just said is a very long way, so far. If you go to Paris, you will be completely out of touch with Alfred, Caroling, and the intelligence network we are here, and you will not be able to see the opportunity and will not be able to do anything!"
