The sun cruelly plundered the few remaining water from the bodies of the defenders. Looking at the buckets of water placed under the city, the defenders on the city couldn't help but imagine the pleasure of drinking the cool river water.

It was not difficult to obtain this water, and the rows of ladders laid on the city were the road Ella paved for them.

Not everyone can get drinking water from various places like Dust. Most of them have endured to the limit. The reason why they insist on not surrender is that their leader has not spoken and they dare not act without authorization; the other is that there are notorious pirates on the other side, and once they surrender, they may lose everything.

Ella looked at the distance with a serious expression. If these defenders were still not ready to surrender, she could only order a strong attack - although the water was cut off for so many days, the morale of the defenders in Azou City had dropped sharply. However, under the protection of Azou City's walls and Anna's bow and arrow, the winning rate was still not optimistic. But time could no longer allow her to wait.

Her troops are ready to fight to the death

"I don't care. Even if I die, I don't want to die of thirst here!"

Suddenly a mercenary shouted on the city wall, climbed down the ladder, and climbed down the ladder.

Seeing this, a mercenary leader snatched a crossbow machine on the spot and shot an arrow when the mercenary ran towards the Pirate Kingdom Army. The mercenary screamed and rushed to the ground, and blood flowed out from under him.

The actions of these two men caused a commotion among the soldiers guarding the city. A man with a red hat walked apart to the mercenary leader who was shooting the archery and asked in a scattered manner: "Franz! Why did you shoot the people from our Red Hat Corps?"

The man named Franz snorted coldly: "'Red Hat' Merrigo, if you can't control your subordinates, I can only manage you. If you let your subordinates escape, the morale of the army will be in chaos and surrender, the pirate kingdom will turn us all into slaves!"

"Red Hat" Meligo made a haha, turned around and looked at the mercenaries behind him, and shouted: "Did you all hear it? You deserve to be a person who drinks water, and you just speak hard!"

Franz's voice was filled with anger: Red Hat, what do you mean?"

Meligo looked at Franz coldly: "That bucket of water was stolen by your great corps, which is well known to everyone! You asked your subordinates to hurt us at that time, but we haven't calculated this battle yet!"

"It's not a bucket! Why are you so petty?"

"What do you think of robbing the berries we bought at the market before?"

"What do you mean by your berries? Have you paid for it? No? Your men are slow to act, so I'm blaming me?"

Franz and Meligo stared at each other on the wall. Almost at the same time, they raised their swords and pointed at each other.

"Franz, I'm going to quench my thirst with your blood tonight!"

"Go and be a slave to the Pirate Kingdom, they will quench your thirst with urine!"

The Great Corps led by Franz and the Red Hat Corps led by Meligo are the two largest mercenary groups in Azov. They usually dislike each other in the city. After the water cut off from Azov, there were constant frictions. Under the fanning of Ella, the conflict between the two mercenary groups finally broke out.

The leaders of the two mercenary groups fought each other on the city wall. Seeing this, the mercenaries of the two mercenary groups stepped forward to join the battle. The two mercenary groups seized a lot of water resources during the water cutoff. Many small mercenary groups were resentful to them. Seeing that the two mercenary groups fought, they also picked up their weapons and rushed up. For a moment, the city wall was in chaos.

Dust and Anna stayed on the mail tower specially prepared for them. The chaos on the city wall made them stunned. Anna looked at the troops of the Pirate Kingdom - except for those who sold water, their large troops were placed very far away from the city wall and could not attack the city wall for a short time. But it is precisely because of this that the defenders of Azov City are more likely to have internal conflicts.

"I haven't seen how strong this Ragna Lodbrok is. I'm playing this trick to make one set of things."

Anna angrily shook off the bow on her hand. If the enemy didn't attack, no matter how good her bow technique was, it would be useless.

Several members of the Republic of Liguria hurried to the city walls, trying to stop the conflict between the mercenaries.

"Everyone, everyone! Stop it! The troops of the Pirate Kingdom are watching under the city wall!" They pulled Franz and Meligo's hands and said, "You are making trouble like this, and the Republic will not dare to hire you next time!"

"You are here just right!" Meligo raised his hand and knocked a member of the parliament to the ground, "Where is the water? Give us the water immediately!"

"The whole city has been cut off for seven days, so there is no water now! But the reinforcements from the Republic are about to arrive..."

"We are mercenaries! We always sell for a few days if we give a commission!"

Another MP hurriedly took out a purse and handed it to Meligo: "We have commissions, we give..."

Meligo slapped the congressman in the face: "Get out! You can't even give water, why are you talking about commissions? If you can't get water today, don't blame us for turning against us!"

Anna took all this into consideration.

"It seems that Azov can't be held. But I must not fall into the hands of the pirates." She said to Dust. "If the pirates enter the city, you have to be smarter. If you find an opportunity, you can grab a horse and escape!"

"Don't worry! I'll go grab the horse as soon as I find an opportunity..."

"I will go and grab the horse! I'm asking you to follow closely, don't leave!"

Dust nodded like a woodpecker. Anna was more reliable than anyone else at this time. He couldn't help but rush up and kiss her. But that would be thrown off the city tower. So he began to look for words of praise. At this moment, he suddenly saw a defender running towards them from the south of the city.

"Report! South, south, south...!"

Almost at the same time, a soldier hurriedly ran towards Ella from the shore.

"The King of Sweden, it's not good! A medium-sized fleet appeared on the coast of the south...the south!"

"What did you say?" Ella rode out suddenly. She waved her whip and shouted at the soldiers at the top of her lungs, "Push the ship into the sea! Get ready to face the enemy! Get ready to face the enemy!

...

...

"It seems like I've caught up."

A black bearded general leaned on a black crutch, like a black mountain, on the black deck. I am afraid that even the huge waves on the sea could not shake the navy under his command.

His name is Andrea, and he is the Marshal of the Republic of Liguria.
