This is what happened before Ella and Alfred held a combat meeting in Winchester.

When Bjorn met with the troops who had arrived, Tessomok and others had been caught by them. The three men who had lost their magic and were seriously injured were no match for Bjorn's army at all. They were tied up with thick hemp ropes until they met Bjorn.

"Hey!" Although Chimal Popoka was seriously injured, he still voiced loudly, "Let your people untire us! It's too tight!"

"Of course, you are all the helpers I have invited," said Bjorn. "But before that, should you explain to me and all my subordinates why you did not defend the city of Winchester? Why? Three Elves?"

"We're fooled!" Chimal Popoka shouted, "We've been infected with the pills and can't use our strength at all!"

"Damn drugs? Are you caught indoors?"

Chimal Popoka's voice suddenly became less and less; "No... it's in the open air, under the city wall."

"Open air?" Bjorn's voice became louder. "How did you three be so fascinated by drugs in the open air?"

Chimal Popoka's voice became even smaller: "We all sat in the same place and waited for a long time for the duel..."

"Dull?" Bjorn felt anger running towards his forehead, "Are you mistaken? This is a war! Is this a matter that the duel can solve? And I have been waiting for a long time? This is a war! It can determine the lives of hundreds of people in one minute! Are you waiting there?"

Chimal Popoka's voice was so low that he couldn't hear it: "It's not my business, it's all the decision made by Tratoani..."

"Tratoani didn't want to solve the problem with duels, but just wanted to get time to let us rest." Izkoyatel also replied in a low voice, "We are too tired and need a rest, so we pretended to agree to this duel. Who knew that the other party who proposed the duel was also ill-hearted!"

"Rest?" Bjorn's tone softened, "Did you persist for a long time and end up unable to resist?"

"No." Chimal Popoka interrupted without thinking, "They are dancing to the point where they have no strength."

"Dance?" Bjorn's anger that had just been suppressed suddenly doubled, "That's how you defend the city?"

"We are fooled by the enemy." Chimal Popoka shouted, "Winchester has an outbreak of a plague that we have never seen before. Then the girl said she needed to dance and ask God for help. Who knew that she wanted to attack when we were tired of jumping! There was nothing credible about what people on this new continent said!"

"We suffered a loss from knowledge." Izkoyatel also distinguished himself from the side, "The plague is terrible. We all think it was caused by gods. Thinking about it now, this is probably the same as that horse. It is very common in this new continent, but we have never seen it before.

"What kind of plague?" Bjorn frowned. "Smallopsis? Or cholera?"

"What is that?" Izkoyatel and Chimar Popoka looked at each other, "We only know that the plague is very spreading, and it can infect hundreds of people in one day. The skin of sick people will be covered with terrible dark spots. The fastest day will die. The slowest one can struggle for a few days, but it will still die and cannot be cured!"

Izkoyatel described the situation of the Black Death, but Bjorn was confused when he heard it. The outbreak of the Black Death was only recorded in the documents of the Seven Hill Empire hundreds of years ago, and Bjorn knew no more than Izkoyatel and others. When the Black Death broke out in the Seven Hill Empire, Bjorn did not come back in Aztland.

"Have you heard of this kind of plague?" Bjorn asked his subordinates again.

Everyone shook their heads. Bjorn's subordinates were all from Scotland. Although Scotland and England were adjacent to them, there were many mountainous areas in the territory and their interactions with England were not closely related. The situation of the Black Death was only known in the Mediterranean coastal areas such as the Seven Hills Empire, the Almany Federation, and the Tianfang Empire. People in England only heard of it, let alone Scotland.

Izkoyatel and Chimal Popoka couldn't help but look at each other, thinking in their hearts: No local people have ever heard of it. Could it be that this disease was really caused by the one-legged God of War Smoke Mirror?

"Wenchester was taken back, the Knight King was rescued, and our plan to control England had failed." Bjorn sighed and said to his subordinates: "There is no way, let them loose first."

Chimal Popoka, who was relieved, asked weakly: "When will we counterattack Winchester?"

"Counterattack? No, it's too late. Since Winchester is lost, we will be surrounded by the enemy at any time - I have not yet discovered where the enemy's main force is. Before this happens, we need to withdraw to Scotland immediately!"

"Retreat?" Chimal Popoka suddenly exploded, "Our three hundred warriors in Aztland are still trapped inside! They are not ordinary soldiers, but the most elite three hundred eagle warriors and leopard warriors!"

"You have just said so much, but haven't realized how troublesome your opponent is?" Bjorn said seriously. "The girl in your mouth has the title of another 'Triumph'! The fighter plane has been lost. If we retreat late, our entire army will be trapped here!"

"No!" cried Chimal Popoka, "You said at that time that the New World has many hearts, so we will help you. Give up attacking England, and then give us your Scottish heart!"

"What did you say?" Bjorn couldn't help but take his spear from the soldier, "You say it again?"

Chimal Popoka suffered a loss under Bjorn and did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly closed his mouth. But Izkoatel said from the side: "Bjorn, you better think clearly. If we retreat, England will not stop. At the moment, there are not many defenders in Winchester, and the two enemy kings are inside. Giving this opportunity will turn into a tragic and protracted war."

Bjorn began to shake his heart. He thought about it for a long time, finally sighed and said, "What you said makes sense. Well, I'll try to trick the Knight King out and catch it."

"Crack him out and catch him?" Chimal Popoka and Izkoyatel couldn't help but prick his ears, "How to cheat?"

A mouse squeaked and ran past Bjorn. Bjorn put down his spear and squatted on the ground, picking up a few pieces of gravel.

"Take a mouse as an example, how can we trap that mouse with a stone?"

"Train the mouse with a stone?" Chimal Popoka replied without thinking, "Then you have to put the stone high around the mouse, and build it into a wall that it can't climb over it, right?"

"The mouse won't be waiting for you to set up the wall around him."

"Then build the wall first, then put some food inside the wall to attract mice, and design some mechanisms on the wall. When the mice come in, they get blocked?"

"This can only deceive some stupid mice. But the 'rats' we are currently facing are very smart and clever." Bjorn said. "To deal with smart mice, you must use smart traps. To deal with extremely smart mice, you must use extremely smart traps. You cannot even block the walls, otherwise they will not come in."

"Even the wall is not blocked? Didn't they just run away after they came in?"
