Chapter 26: Starting a War (9)

Hestein had no troops in his hands and could not carry out a substantial attack on Paris. All he could do was to smash the Paris walls with a trencher a while later. Despite this, the fleet still scared the Paris defenders. The relevant news was delivered to the Duke of Aquitaine at a speed of 100,000, which was more than three times faster than the Duke of Aquitaine's cautious marching speed.

"Paris is attacked?"

The Duke of Aquitaine, who received the news, had a "buzzing" sound. This news means that the Pirate Kingdom has also joined the political game. He does not know whether the Pirate Kingdom has joined forces with the Earl of Ile de France or is acting alone, but no matter which, the situation is very unfavorable to him.

He raised his head and glanced at the knights below. They were all worried like the Duke of Aquitaine. In these few days, they first found that the potion they were proud of was useless, and then they learned that the enemy had a large number of reinforcements were coming, and now even the strongholds in the rear were attacked, and even the terrible pirate king came to attack. No one could remain optimistic under these series of blows.

The Duke of Aquitain closed his eyes and took a deep breath. At this time, he had to be calm in front of his subordinates.

“It’s as I expected.”

He spoke and said.

"Aren't you all wondering why I want to divide my troops here? Because I have already seen that the enemy wants to transfer our army! Sure enough, Paris is now attacked. But they miscalculated. My current position is very close to Paris and I can return to help immediately. As for the pirate king - don't worry, just bluffing. There are clergy from the Abraham Church in the city, and his power alone is useless!"

After he said this, the knights below finally cheered up a little: "So that's it! Duke Gaojian!"

"Get out the village and return to the aid now!" The Duke of Aquitaine waved his hand, "I inform the front-line troops again to give up the siege and return to the aid immediately. When I repel the offensive of the Pirate Kingdom, gather the troops of other lords in the faction, and compete with them!"

The news that the Duke of Aquitaine returned from the camp was delivered to Aquitaine after the intelligence network that was improved by Aquitaine.

"The Duke of Aquitaine has returned to Paris. It seems that Hestein has made an action. What about the enemy troops besieging the fortress? Have they received this news?"

"It must not be." Awutmok himself, who sent the letter, said confidently, "Although they must have sent the letter earlier than us, their besieged camps were much further away than here. They were all riding horses, and their messengers could not be much faster than me."

"That is, we can act one step ahead of the besieged enemy. Amy, the opportunity is here!"

"Okay!" Amy nodded violently, "I will arrange for the soldiers to set out the camp and intercept them on their retreat!"

"Isn't it going to intercept! Just the army in our hands is blocking their retreat, isn't that going to seek death?"

"Ah? No intercepting?" Amy was stunned, "Then what are we going to do?"

"Go and chase! Interception and pursuit, one in front and one behind, the difference is very fatal! Chasing, following them, chasing, they are eager to rush to Paris, and they are unlikely to turn around and kill back. Interception, blocking in front of them, and they will destroy our army!"

"So there is a difference." Awutmok, who was standing beside him, suddenly realized, "I am the same, I just thought I could pounce on and fight, but I didn't think so much about it."

So, according to Ella's deployment, the "chasing" began.

The five thousand enemy troops who were siegeing were safe and sound when they first evacuated. Although they carefully left the army behind the palace, the Duke of Normandy, who was guarding the city, did not pursue the army according to Ella's instructions. After the army behind the palace noticed this, they joined the large army and rushed towards Paris in a hurry.

But two days later, Ella's army got stuck with them.

What premonitored her arrival was the sound of a dongdong war drum. The drum sounded on the eve of dawn and came from all directions, as if the entire enemy army had entered a siege.

The enemy jumped up in a hurry, and before breakfast was over, they picked up their weapons and started to line up. This was the army of the Duke of Normandy who was chasing them—they did not doubt this at all. Who else could pursue them behind them?

Their general jumped out in his shoes and shouted:

"The drums are still far away, don't stay here! Evacuate immediately! Our current mission is to return to Paris! If you want to be entangled here by the Duke of Normandy's army, no matter whether you win or lose, things will be very troublesome!"

So the army hurriedly left the camp, and due to the urgent operation, a lot of debris was simply thrown into the camp.

By noon, the pursuing army did not appear. This made everyone feel relieved.

The soldiers began to make fires and cook. They didn't know that Ella was on a hill far away, looking in their direction with the eyes of Hermes.

"The smoke from the cooking stove floated up," Ella said, "begin to beat the drum!"

"Dong, dong, dong", the drum sounded again. The soldiers of the Duke of Aquitaine jumped up one by one.

"The enemy is approaching again!" The enemy general jumped out and shouted while wearing a helmet, "Don't be entangled by them, retreat! Retreat immediately!"

The soldiers rushed to evacuate again. Since the pot was still hot and could not be taken away, many pots were left in place.

"All so far is going well." Ella put down Hermes' Eye with pride, "The next time you beat the drum, it's time for them to sleep soundly late at night!"

"Your Majesty, you can do it once or twice. If you do this, they will definitely come to see the situation, right?" Amy was a little worried, "I kept beating the drum but not seeing anyone, which will only make others suspicious."

"That's right, then why don't you beat the drum? Anyway, there were traps I dug in advance on the way back. I accidentally stepped on one, and the mechanism shot a few poisonous arrows. It should be enough for them to be confused..."

Ella thought for a while, then nodded on her own:

"Well, just do it. No drumming. Since it's night, just set the fire!"

"ah???"

"Yes! Set fire! There is a relatively concentrated area in front of you. So set fire from all sides and drive them in the only direction..."

"His Majesty……"

Looking at Ella who was talking about her plan with a slutty look, Amy couldn't help but shout.

"Hmm?" Ella came back from her thoughts, "Amy, do you have any better plans?"
