Chapter 3: Who is it? (3)
Before leaving, Ella brought Amy to the "Flying Zealander" and gave Amy a bad knowledge about the Republic of Liguria.
"The Republic of Liguria and the Island Republic were once the territory of the Qiqiu Empire. Even now, these two republics are nominally vassal states of the Qiqiu Empire. They have made a lot of efforts to the Qiqiu Empire in the fight against the navy of the Tianfang Empire. But they also demanded a lot of trade privileges in return. When I was in power, these trade privileges made me feel uncomfortable."
Ella knocked on the map to explain to Amy. If Azores surrendered before Ella's army arrived, Amy would become an important envoy. Although this is not a big chance, considering the situation, these things are also something Amy must know.
"The Republic of Liguria is very good at naval warfare. As for the army, they obtained a light crossbow machine through the trade routes in the east, which can be fired with handheld speed. Although the loading speed is not as fast as a bow and arrow, the armor-breaking ability is very high. So Amy, you must not get too close to the city wall!"
Amy nodded in a vague way.
"Due to the trade privileges obtained in the Qiqiu Empire, the Republic of Liguria and the Island Republic have accumulated a lot of wealth. During wartime, foreign mercenaries would be hired to fight for them. However, these two republics regarded each other as their enemies because of trade disputes. The Qiqiu Empire's policy has always been to balance the power of both. For me, if these two republics assisted me, it would be easy to regain the throne; if these two republics opposed me, it would be extremely difficult to regain the throne."
Amy asked, "Your Majesty is asking me to pay attention to my position and deal properly, to meet the requirements of the Island Republic, and not to over-deal against the Republic of Liguria?"
"Ah? Is this something that can be done?"
Ella showed a look of "What are you talking about".
"…what does your Majesty mean?"
"I mean, the Republic of Liguria is very rich! If it is ready to surrender, don't let them go and rob it hard! Do you know?"
"Yes, yes," Amy replied perfunctorily, "will rob them like a pirate king."
"But since there is that powerful person here, the possibility of surrendering on the other side is still not high. If Liurik wants to attack the city, let him attack the city. Amy, all you have to do is wait for me to come over at Azov. If Liurik wants to support, give him support, but just give him the soldiers. Don't go to the battlefield, do you know?"
"Yes, yes," Amy replied, "basically, it's just that I don't have to do anything, right?"
In this way, Amy, Liurik and Hezekiah led the army of tens of thousands, and Ella walked behind with 15,000 people. Although it didn't sound like a lot, it was actually a very large army. Hestein used so many people when he robbed the Seven Hills Empire.
The Republic of Liguria is no better than the Qiqiu Empire. It has a small territory. The city of Azov is even more lonely city hanging from overseas. In terms of military strength, ten thousand people are indeed more than enough.
A few days later, Amy's vanguard stopped three days away from Azov.
Amy hummed a song and picked a flower from the grass.
For Amy, this was a rare leisure time in several years: Ella was lively, and the military affairs were handled by Liurik and Hezekiah, and because she was not with Ella, she could even give up her maid's work for the time being.
Fenrier walked over from a distance, holding a few flowers in his mouth. Amy patted his head with care, took the flowers from his mouth, and began to weave the garland. Under Amy's feeding, this terrifying giant wolf became more and more like a big dog.
Lurik and Hezekiah were discussing the next military operation, and there seemed to be some dispute between them, but Amy didn't care. This was not a negotiation she could intervene. She was more concerned about the ingredients of the pie to be made at night than this.
"The wife in charge of cooking in the palace seemed to have told me what kind of flowers can add fragrance to the pie after being ground into powder... What kind of flowers are they?"
Amy likes to cook. However, when Ella became the queen of Sweden, in addition to taking care of Ella's daily life, she also had to share some of Ella's work, and she had no choice but to cook. Although the conditions were simple during the march, Amy still wanted to seize this rare opportunity.
However, this leisurely life was soon broken by an unfortunate news: "No! Miss Amy, Hezekiah and Rurik fought! Come and take a look!"
"If you fight, start fighting. This is how men need to vent their desires regularly - well, the third act of the second and third scene of "The Armenian Maid Full of Energy"."
"But they are not fighting by themselves... the people on both sides are forming a formation, and they are really going to fight soon!"
"Ha?" Amy was shocked, "Hurry, get our troops in the middle of them!"
Amy has doubted more than once whether the so-called nobles are all a group of guys with problems.
When she arrived at the scene, the Hezeki cavalry had formed several circular formations. The thousand cavalry ran around the circle while shooting arrows into Liurik's formation. Liurik's infantry formed a tight shield wall and slowly retreated towards the complex terrain.
Amy rode Fenriel into the two armies. The men and horses on both sides were stunned and stopped their movements. Rulick and Hezekiah both walked out of their respective military formations and shouted, "Little maid, you are here just right, come and judge us!"
"What the hell happened?" Amy asked, "Aren't you still discussing the combat plan just now?"
"There's nothing to talk about!" Hezekiah shouted, "This stupid guy wants to steal the position of my chief general!"
Hearing Hezekiah's words, Liurik shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hezekiah, when will the position of the chief general be yours? You don't dare to lead troops to attack the city, so of course the chief general can only be me!"
"Liulick, what's the use of the position of the main general? I have to consolidate the Khan position by conquering Azov!"
"Who cares about your Khan's position! If you become the chief general, then I will become your subordinate? If not, I will definitely not!"
"Just, this is the prairie of the Khasa Khanate! As the Khan of the Khasa Khanate, how could I let a pirate command my men? Have you seen the power of my cavalry? If this little maid hadn't come in time, all of your men would have been arrested and sold as slaves!"
"What kind of power do you show off on the prairie? Do you dare to enter my coniferous forest? Do you dare to use your cavalry to attack Azov? And do you think you just won? Wait for me to hit you with lightning, and I see if your horses are still obedient!"
As they were arguing, the two of them turned their eyes to Amy: "Little maid! Are you standing there?"
Amy began to feel a headache. Ella told her that with Hezekiah and Rurik were there, she didn't need to do anything. But Ella ignored that Rurik and Hezekiah were "two", and they were both the leader of the same country. This battle was initiated by Ella, and neither of them would have any objections, but once Ella was not here, neither of them would be convinced by each other.
Amy was sandwiched between the two, neither above nor below. If I had to change to Ella, I might be able to convince these two people here. But Amy was just a maid who spoke out by civilians. Although Ella gave her a very high position in China, the title "little maid" used by the Lillik and Heze family abroad can explain everything.
Even if she chooses the side now, Hezekiah and Rurik will definitely not accept each other, so they will continue to fight?
After thinking for a long time, Amy hesitated and said, "However... you will not be in a unified command if you surround the city gate?"
Liurik and Hezekiah stared at each other.
"I'm responsible for the West Gate, you're responsible for the East Gate. If it's broken, don't say I won't come to support me!"
"Just to my wish!"
The two of them retreated with their own troops.
