Chapter 5: Warriors in the Exotic (2)
Ella said without thinking: "With the same boat as us, is it either Scotland or Ireland?"
The shipbuilding technology of the Pirate Kingdom is unique. In addition to the Pirate Kingdom, there are only Scotland and Ireland, which were conquered by pirate our country.
"No." Dust shook his finger, "According to the dancer, the group of people was from a foreign race she had never seen before. I thought she was short-sighted at the time, but after asking more people, I found that no one in Southampton knew the origin of the people. I didn't believe in evil, so I asked the group of people to describe the clothes of those foreign races to me, but I couldn't recognize them myself."
"You didn't recognize it either?" Ella was a little surprised. She knew that Dust was in the tavern every day when he was in Gotland. When he was drunk, he told the people in the tavern about his travels around the world. Those stories extended from Asia Minor, Afrika to Northern Ireland, and there was no place he had not been to the coast of the Mediterranean and the North Sea. Those stories attracted many listeners. The tavern he often went to was even expanded once. What kind of remote place did the aliens that Dust could not recognize came from?
"The people on the fleet were around three hundred, all carrying weapons, and they looked like mercenaries. However, they did not have a piece of iron on their bodies, except for leather or cloth, and even the weapons were made of black stone, while the shields were made of wood and rattan. Also, they wore a uniform eagle-shaped helmet, which was also made of wood."
Dust described to Ella the news he had heard.
"But they don't look like poor people. Because the dancer saw that many of them were wearing jewelry made of gold and emeralds. They could obviously use gems as jewelry, but they couldn't afford iron. Are you wondering?"
"Black stone weapon? Eagle-shaped helmet?" Ella vaguely remembered something, "And what? They wouldn't want to pay with a little bean that they had never seen before as currency, right?"
"How do you know?" Dust was surprised. "They also had a conflict with the tavern, and ended up paying off their debts with the gold jewelry."
"Is it really Aztlan?"
"Aztlan? Where is that?"
Ella shook her head: "I don't know. Last year they visited me at my palace and said they wanted to buy a small piece of land in Sweden. Because they didn't bring their money and spoke badly, they were driven away by Amy. Do you suspect that this group of people attacked Winchester?"
"I think even if it is not, it must have something to do with them. This group of strangers has been seen in a century; shortly after they went to Winchester, Alfred lost contact, which is also a rare sight in a century. These two things are together, and it is difficult not to make people think a lot."
"But you said they only have three hundred people - how are their magical level?"
"At that time, there was a natural-level master in the tavern. According to him, there was no magician in this group."
"What." Ella said with some disgust. "They have few people, poor weapons, and no magic. How could they have the ability to attack the capital of Britain?"
Dust smiled. He didn't think that the team could attack Winchester. However, Ella looked better and his words were successful.
Suddenly, Fenriel's howling sound came from afar. The sound approached Ella like the wind. In the blink of an eye, Fenriel showed up in Ella's eyes with Amy. Amy looked very anxious and rode Fenriel to Ella's face. Before she could stop, she shouted to Ella: "Your Majesty! The Southampton team has already walked out of the forest, but it was immediately attacked by the enemy. Graheedber rushed to support her, so let's go there too, right?"
Ella was startled: "Did you encounter the enemy so soon? The number of enemies?"
"About fifty people!"
"Okay, let's go and support, too." As soon as Ella's whip was swinging out, she hurriedly pulled the reins. She turned her head and looked at Amy, and asked again in disbelief, "How many people did you just say?"
"Fifty...Huh?Fifty?" Amy realized that something was wrong with this number. "I followed a soldier who ran back from the front line. He was still on the way to this side... It sounded like fifty?"
"Amy, don't ask clearly. There are a thousand people in Southampton! How did they be attacked by fifty people?" Ella said with some dissatisfaction, "And even if you say five hundred, I don't believe it. What does it mean to be attacked as soon as you walk out of the forest? How can you not ambush in the forest and wait outside the forest? The enemy's commander is ill in his mind?"
Having said that, Ella had to react to the report of the enemy attack. She asked the troops to speed up the march forward. After a while, the soldier who reported to Amy ran towards him:
"Swiss, King of Sweden! The vanguard of Southampton was attacked, and the enemy was about fifty people..."
"Why are there still fifty people?" Ella was a little unhappy. "What are you panic? You can't figure out the numbers? Fifty people? There are a whole thousand teams in Southampton!"
"But, there are indeed only fifty people!" The soldier replied panting, "Although there are only fifty people, they all know magic. It is estimated that the magic level is around the 'self' level! Relying on the advantage of the number of people, the Southampton team surrounded them, but they could only gain a slight advantage. When I came over, they were still fighting there!"
“Fifty self-levels?”
Ella, who knows how to magic, didn't know what this concept was, so she casts a questioning look at Amy.
"The top that ordinary people can reach through hard work is probably the self-level, and it takes some talent to reach the natural level." Amy replied in a low voice, "If you have fifty self-levels, you can roughly fight against two to three natural levels."
Ella nodded. The thousand people in Southampton were not regular soldiers. If they faced three natural levels, it would be a bit subtle.
"Who was attacking them?" Ella asked.
"I don't know!" the soldier replied, "They carried an eagle-shaped helmet, black stone weapons, and wooden shields. We have never seen such soldiers!"
Ella and Dust looked at each other, and they could see surprise in each other's eyes.
"If... I mean if." Ella said, "If those three hundred people are all self-level magicians, and even a few natural, one or two elves, would that be enough to attack Winchester?"
"No? Where do so many magicians come from? It's very difficult to reach the self-level level! And those people shouldn't know how to magic?" Dust said, "This is what my natural friend promised to pat his chest. Self-level magic cannot be hidden under the natural level!"
