Chapter 11 Its a bandit! (1)
"What the hell is going on!"
Ella put down the ladder and let the pirates board the flying zodiac. But before they could gain a foothold, Ella grabbed one of the men's collars and started to curse.
"How did you be hunted down by the navy of the Qiqiu Empire? Are you going to rob the Qiqiu Empire?"
This is the most intolerable thing for Ella. If these pirates dare to nod and admit, she would dare to execute a few on the spot to serve as a warning.
The pirates had never seen Ella send such a big fire. The pirate who was grabbed by the collar hurriedly replied: "No! King of Sweden, you have long told me that you cannot move the Seven Hills Empire, we all remember it!"
"Why are the navy of the Seven Hills Empire chasing you? Are you going to propose to you in groups?"
"No, it's not chasing us. It's just following us..."
"Stop lying! You just said that they were here to kill!"
"Yes, it's killing, but it's not killing us... The navy of the Qiqiu Empire is destroying the trading post of the coastal island republic along the way!"
Ella finally understood the reason and then loosened the pirate's neckline.
According to the plan of the Island Republic, the Qiqiu Empire will be delayed by false peace talks for several days. The Island Republic will use this time to solve the remaining navy of the Ligurian Republic, and then transfer the fleet back to deal with the Qiqiu Empire. The Qiqiu Empire suddenly launched an attack at this time, probably because it had seen through the Pirate Republic's delaying strategy.
"I didn't expect those ministers to be quite capable... I can feel a little relieved."
"Your Majesty, I don't care about your strange side. The Qiqiu Empire has declared war on the Island Republic! And we are mercenaries of the Island Republic! If we bump into the Navy of the Qiqiu Empire head-on, we will definitely fight! Is this a time to rest assured?"
Ella suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. The leading to the capital of the Island Republic was a narrow U-shaped bay. Ella was currently at the bottom of the U-shaped bay, while the Qiqiu Empire had entered the mouth of the U-shaped bay. If you continue sailing, the fleets on both sides would almost inevitably meet and would be avoided. If you return to the Island Republic, you would inevitably be dragged into the war.
Rurik and Hezekiah were sitting on another boat. They were originally going to leave the bay and separated from Ella and went back directly along the Black Sea Strait. When they noticed that the situation was not very strong, they drove the boat under the flying Zelan and shouted to the deck: "King of Sweden, what happened?"
"The Seven Hill Empire and the Island Republic have started war, and their fleet is heading here!"
Liurik and Hezekiah were startled and quickly climbed along the ladder to the deck of the flying Zelan.
"Hezekiah, can you still get through this time by using your banner?" Ella asked.
"I'm not sure about this! They were not willing to get out of the way last time. This time it was a war, with more people and more chaotic. We rented a lot of merchant ships from the island republic in order to transport supplies. If we bumped into each other head-on, there would be a high probability of a conflict breaking out!"
Liurik stomped on the deck: "It's all the blame for the delay of the governor to delay our time! I don't know when I will wait for this fight to leave the port!"
A map that Ella asked someone to find. This map was obtained from Azov. The precision was very problematic, but it was enough to judge the surrounding situation. The three of them put their hands together and looked at the map for a while, and finally Ella pointed her hand at a land across the sea from the island Republic.
"Istria, an earl's corpse on the border of the Almani Federation, is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of the Almani Federation, the Seven Hills Empire, and the Island Republic. If you are here, you can quickly grasp the dynamics of the war. Otherwise, we will avoid the sea fleet of the Seven Hills Empire and dock at the port of Istria for a while?"
Hezekiah said: "Allmany Federation? Will our more than 5,000 people land on the coast, and will it cause diplomatic incidents?"
Liurik laughed: "Hezekiah, are you still afraid of the Earl of France? I have snatched the Almani Federation many times by boat. Basically, their lords fight on their own. As for the small place in Istria, I don't know if there is a thousand troops. We have 5,000 people here, what diplomatic incidents are afraid of?"
Amy thinks that Liurik is right.
So the entire fleet fell and headed towards Istria, located on the other side of the U-shaped bay.
When Ella brought more than a thousand people to Stad for trade, it scared Stad people half to death, not to mention that this time, he brought five thousand people at once. The residents of the Istria port saw the flying Zelamite appearing on the sea level from afar and immediately began to flee. When Ella's fleet arrived at the port, the entire port was already empty.
But Ella was not in the mood to appease the fleeing residents. She walked along the port and urged the pirates on the ship: "Hurry! Istria may not be safe. First unload the supplies from the ship, and then immediately strengthen the fortifications at the port!"
Amy suggested on the side with some concern: "Your Majesty, is it better for us to give gifts to the Lord of Istria? It is better to choose a valuable gift, otherwise I am afraid that the Lord of Istria will really send troops to attack us!"
"No need! Even if we send an envoy, how can we negotiate with them? We told them that although we have never known each other, we want to station troops in his territory for ten days and half a month?"
The trade experience in Stadt has made Ella understand that the poor reputation of the Pirate Kingdom cannot be saved by an envoy. Although with her efforts, the cities in the north of Almany have already had a lot of trade with the Pirate Kingdom. However, in cities in the south of Almany, such as Istria, the reputation of the Pirate Kingdom is still bad.
"Indeed... five thousand people, this number is far more than the strength of Istria's troops. No lord can feel at ease with other countries' troops of this size. But it is even more problematic to not send envoys? Although the lords of the Almani Federation are not strong in a single force, they will join forces! If he thinks we invade, he will probably form a coalition!"
Ella shook her head: "As long as we do not send envoys, they will not have the opportunity to refuse us. As long as we are not rejected and do not do hostile things, we will not be considered invasion, but only borrowed! The Almany Federation is very loose, I just borrowed it, and they are not so easy to form a coalition!"
As long as we are not rejected, it is not considered an invasion. Amy was stunned by this. She nodded foolishly at first, then suddenly realized the problem and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Even if we don't send envoys, they will send envoys here! If we have to wait for them to send envoys over, then our attitude will be very bad!"
