Chapter 10 Negotiation (1)
"Report to the King of Sweden! We caught the man named Tessosomok! He said he wanted to see you!"
Ella shook her head repeatedly: "No! He is an elf-level. I will run to him and wait for him to take him as a hostage?"
"Just one elves. King of Sweden, have you pretended to be arrested and fought with three hundred Aztlans for several days in the city, exhausted them to death? He wants to take you as a hostage, just twist his neck with a click!"
"If you can't say it's not to see me!" Ella took a few steps forward, suddenly turned around and asked, "How is the injury on his body?"
"The fracture of both legs was caused by falling from the city wall at that time. The injury of the palm and ankle being penetrated by the steel pipes was not healed, and he was completely disabled!"
"Then help me break his arms first and then 'click'! The war is about to win, so don't make any more trouble!"
Ella said it was true. This time she raided Bjorn's rear, and all the food and supplies that Bjorn had left were burned. Even if the dry food carried by the soldiers, they could not last for at most three days. This is the hinterland of England, and they could not even retreat, and surrender was foreseeable.
"The King of Sweden, I don't understand one thing." Graheide, who was following her, asked, "You have not received any information from the troops this time. Why can you confirm that there are enemy baggage troops in this direction?"
"I can't be sure, I just think there is a relatively high possibility. I used to leave the camp behind and lure the enemy many times, and I'm very familiar with this tactic. I realized that Bjorn was also using the same tactics, so I guessed that attacking in this direction would hit him in the vital position."
Speaking of this, Ella is a little confused:
"When I think about it now, it's very risky. If I lose and meet Bjorn's main force directly, then we'll be done. What was I thinking at that time?"
“So that’s the case, it’s experience.”
"experience?"
"Or, an intuition based on past experiences. The more you experience, the more reliable this intuition is. In war, many times, intelligence is not enough to judge the enemy's intentions, and it depends entirely on the commander's judgment based on experience. The more experience the commander is, the more reliable this judgment is."
"So, I have slowly become a very powerful general?" Ella was a little excited. The walls of Winchester City appeared in front of her, and she waved her hand and shouted, "Amy, I burned all Bjorn's food and grass, and I'm back after a big victory!"
Winchester City had already received the news of victory, and the dark crowd welcomed Ella's triumph at the city gate. Usually, Amy must be at the forefront of the crowd. But this time, there was no. Ella searched carefully in the crowd several times, but she didn't see Amy's figure at all, and then she suddenly reacted-
She did not send troops to rescue Amy.
Bjorn's baggage force was behind, and the main force must be fighting Amy. This is simply obvious.
"Change, turn around immediately!" She suddenly raised her voice and shouted at her subordinates who had just walked into the city gate, "Save the seized materials on the spot, change the back team to the front team, and follow me to support friendly troops!"
"King of Sweden, look over there!" a soldier on the city wall pointed to the distance and shouted, "It's Fenriel! They are back!"
Ella stared at the distance with a confused look on her face. When she saw Fenriel appearing on the horizon with Amy, she felt relieved: It seems that her attack has had the effect of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao, Amy is fine."
But only Amy was alone when she walked towards them. She was extremely tired and lay weakly on Fenriel's back, as if she would fall off due to bumps at any time. Fenriel stopped in front of Ella, but Amy was still lying on Fenriel's back, motionless.
"Amy!"
Ella rushed up in panic and grabbed Amy's hanging hand. The temperature from the palm of her hand made her breath relieved.
"Amy? Amy? Why did she fall asleep? What exactly happened?"
Hearing Ella's voice, Amy slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she saw Ella, she looked like she was about to cry: "Your Majesty, we were ambushed by Bjorn, only me..."
Before she finished speaking, Amy saw the spoils in the hands of Ella's soldiers and the welcome team at the gate. This scene stuffed her second half of the sentence back and asked in horror:
"Your Majesty, is this..."
"When Bjorn ambushed you, the King of Sweden took us to attack the enemy's baggage force!" said Graheide, "This is simply a skillful move to turn defeat into victory. Bjorn will soon be unable to hold on!"
"Grahead!" Ella turned her head and shouted, "I didn't let you speak!"
But Amy had heard all this. Her face suddenly felt confused: "So, your majesty, we are bait... do you treat us as bait?"
"No! Amy, I just want to save you. This is called "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao in the military book. Once I attack the rear, they will retreat..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to explain anything. You are the king. You have made the best choice for the victory or defeat of the entire war."
Amy wiped her eyes.
"It's me that's useless. If my magic can be stronger and more suitable for the battlefield, if the Lokika guard of the Great Elves is my own power, not Ivar's power, then I can bring those knights back together."
"Amy, you don't need it... You are not a combatant, you just followed them to report the news..."
"Your Majesty has always said that I am a maid and told me not to force myself to do things that I am not good at... But, Your Majesty, after the war begins, can you really guarantee that we, who are unrelated, will not be involved in the war?"
Ella couldn't speak anymore.
Amy raised her head, looked at the starry sky, and suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, I want to learn astronomy."
"Amy? Astronomy is very complicated..."
"Does Your Majesty want to say that I am not suitable for doing such things? I also want to say that I just need to do what I am good at? Even if Your Majesty doesn't need my strength, then I at least want to protect myself!"
Amy suddenly roared, scaring Ella. But Amy lowered her head again, covered her face and sobbed.
"Your Majesty, Ivar is here again and occupy my body again. If I continue like this, I will disappear. I want to protect my own strength! I want to protect your power! I want to protect the power of the country! Your Majesty! Please, if you notice anything in magic, please help me and let my power surpass Ivar!"
