Chapter 21 The Death of Ipolita (1)
The extremely weak Ipolita finally couldn't bear the chill from the late night sea.
When she first jumped into the sea, she could still try to swim in the sea. But at that time, the naval battle continued. If she had surfaced for a long time, she would probably die soon on the battlefield covering the fire and arrows.
She could only let her sick body sink again and again...
Then, I lost the strength to float up again.
"Basselisa...Basselisa..."
Even in the depths of the dark sea, the voices of soldiers from Azov could be heard faintly.
"Basselisa..."
The lights and fires on the sea gradually moved away from Ipolita, and the cold sea water gradually made her consciousness leave her body. She was like a puppet off the rope, falling weakly towards the abyss of the sea.
"Basselisa!!!"
Ipolita, who suddenly understood the meaning of this word, suddenly opened her eyes. Driven by anger, she struggled and swam towards the sea with her last bit of strength.
...
"King of Sweden, we found this woman on the beach while we were cleaning the battlefield!"
The pirates took Ella to the coast. The broken warships washed up by the sea were placed on the beach, and broken pulp, burnt canvas, scattered wooden boards were scattered beside them. In addition, there were sunken armor and weapons that were missing.
Among these recyclable wastes is a woman with silver-white hair.
Amy said softly, "Isn't this the maid next to the Governor of the Island Republic?"
"Is she still alive?" Ella asked.
The pirates nodded repeatedly, "Living! Just now we were picking up things on the beach, and suddenly we heard a very small voice calling out Barcelona or something. We walked over and found this woman."
"Call Barcelona?"
Ella frowned. She waved her hand and asked the pirates to turn their bodies first, and she leaned forward with Amy's companion and lifted the covert linen on Ipolita's body.
The mottled whip marks left on the female plump body shocked Ella and Amy.
"Your Majesty, look... so many wounds, and still covered with linen... it turns out that she is just a slave?"
"It's not just that, Amy, look at her skin, it seems like she has some disease."
"Then... Your Majesty, how can we deal with her?"
"If you are just a slave, just forget it... I think she is very pitiful." Ella said, "find her a separate room and find a doctor to see her."
Ipolita suddenly coughed violently. Then, she opened her eyes slightly and wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by a violent cough.
"Don't be anxious. Say it slowly." Amy wiped away the spit that squirted on her face, and then held her hand, "You were just calling Barcelona, are you a citizen of the Seven Hills Empire?"
Ipolita nodded.
"Are you sold to the Island Republic as a slave?"
Ipolita nodded again, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Ba...Ba...Bacelisa...I don't want to stay here...I...I want to go home."
"Go home? Where is your home?"
"Der, Del...Fe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Epolita turned his head and fainted again.
Ella sighed and covered Ipolita with a sackcloth. Although she had little medical knowledge, she could also see that Ipolita was extremely sick. Even if she was left in Azoon to recuperate, she would be basically helpless.
"Delphie is on the way. Amy, find her a separate cabin on our boat."
"Your Majesty, can she really survive to Delphi like this?"
"Since she called me Barcelona...at least she had to take her bones back. Amy, you don't have to worry about me these days, go and take care of her. I'm not sure to leave it to those pirates."
"Okay, your majesty."
Amy nodded, then waved his hand to signal the pirates to carry Ipolita to the ship. Just as the pirates were doing these things, she took the opportunity to ask: "Your Majesty, let's not care about the slaves of the Island Republic... What about the captured soldiers? How should we deal with them?"
Ella closed her eyes. When she opened it again, her eyes became unprecedentedly severe.
"Blind your eyes... or castrate them directly."
"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Amy stared at Ella. Although she felt that these island republics were more than dead, this was not like Ella's style.
"Amy, the Island Republic is a vassal state of the Seven Hills Empire. They can give up their identity as the Seven Hills Empire, but the laws of the Seven Hills Empire will not let them go. I have no choice."
"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Amy asked again.
Ella closed her eyes again. It took a long time before she opened it again.
"When counting the spoils, did you find an account book that records military merits in the Island Republic?"
"Yes," Amy nodded, "I have a great book."
"Let's follow the list above. All those whose names appear in the military merit book will be brought to me. Then, blind the eyes, castrate them, or execute them on the charge of rebellion... depending on their performance. As for the others, let's deal with them together when I capture the capital of the Island Republic."
"Your Majesty... are you still soft-hearted?"
"What, Amy? Do you think I will be ruthless at that time?" Ella squeezed a smile on her face, "I always have to do some things... You see, aren't the Swedish priests already dead at my hands?"
...
Ipolita was carried by pirates into the cabin of a large ship. Since the main naval force of the Island Republic has been eliminated, after dealing with the prisoners of war, the pirates will take these ships to enter the Black Sea Strait and destroy the remaining enemy troops in the Black Sea Strait. Later, they will turn to block the sea supply line of the Almani coalition.
Ipolita closed her eyes all the way, as if she was in a coma. But as soon as the pirates left, she grinned her lips in the dark cabin and laughed softly.
"I've been fooled... I've been fooled... It's so simple, King of Sweden!"
She changed into a linen before diving, looking forward to this opportunity. The Republic of Liguria and the Republic of Islands are old enemies, and the soldiers will not have any good ending after being captured. But if she is mistaken for a slave... then there is a possibility of survival.
She cannot die in Azov, she must hold on for a while. Without seeing Constantine's destruction with her own eyes, she will not be able to live even if she dies!
Although the navy of the Island Republic has been eliminated, she has already laid the seeds of plague in Constantine Jesa. This black god of death cannot be expelled even the glory of Apollo!
Just wait a few more days and hold on for a few more days... she will see Constantineer, who is left with only dead people!
No, not only Constantineer, but also one person to be included in the object of revenge-
"Era Cornelius Scipio! I didn't expect that you, the 'stupid man' who was rumored to be killed by pirates, became the King of Sweden... It's really enviable. But you are also a member of Scipio! Cough, wait, when Constantinier perishes, it's your turn! Cough, cough, cough cough..."
