Mellie, Ragnar and the other thirteen people disappeared. Alfred faced the berserkers who were chasing them.
As soon as they came into contact with the battle, reports of defeat came like snow flakes. Those berserker warriors ignored Alfred's sudden attack in the forest, ignored the traps, traps and flying trees. They defeated the assaulting troops with crazy morale.
To retreat, they climbed out of the pit with their fingers, broke the net with their teeth, and split the flying wood with an axe!
Alfred was defeated step by step by this seemingly invincible force, and finally had to retreat to where Ella was. He suffered a serious injury and was walking in a daze, being helped by his subordinates.
"We must retreat immediately!" shouted a young knight named Glahid under Alfred. "The King of Knights will dock his ship on the other side of the forest, and we can board the ship back to Zealand from there!"
"If we run away like this, we will soon be overtaken by those madmen!" Another knight shouted, "Someone must break up and use the remaining traps to block their steps!"
As soon as they heard the word "Broken Queen", the crowd suddenly became silent. They had all been frightened by Ragnar's beast-like troops. Even the brave Sealanders had been frightened by Ragnar's beast-like troops.
The troops were so frightened that their legs and feet became weak.
Ella heard all this. She stood up slowly with Amy's support.
"I already have a way to defeat Ragnar, and it is a sure-fire way to win."
She said this, drawing everyone's attention to her.
"However, this strategy cannot be implemented here... I need time. I also need as many troops as possible to ensure the implementation of the plan... Therefore, you must return to Zealand safely with me. And for this purpose...
Someone has to be here to stop Ragnar's army."
"But, I must tell you the truth, those who stay will be in danger. They will use traps to block Ragnar and his troops here, and then find opportunities to hide in the forest, and then find opportunities to pass through large areas of enemy territory
, to return safely.”
"People of Zealand, I promise, I will not let your relatives become Ragnar's slaves. People of England, I promise, I will not let pirates continue to plunder your Great Britain - wait until I return to Zealand
, let me prepare, and I can defeat Ragnar!"
"That's all. Those who are willing to stay, tell me your names and let me write them on the inside of my clothes. I promise that when I defeat Ragnar, I will give you his land, or
Your children, I will also write your deeds into poems, regard you as the heroes who defeated Ragnar, and let the bards sing your praises from generation to generation... The enemy is approaching, and I really can't say too much anymore. Now, I am willing
Those who remain behind, stand before me!"
After an uncomfortable silence, the knight named Glahid stood up first and said, "The honor I can get by killing the Pirate King is probably much more than what I can get by continuing to live for thirty years."
, I’ll stay!”
Under the influence of Glahid, more than ten of Alfred's subordinates stepped forward one after another. Now the people in Zealand couldn't help it. Someone shouted: "How can we lose to this group of Anglos?"
Saxons!", and then about ten people from the Zealanders stood up in a loud voice.
Looking at the thirty warriors who stood up, Ella wiped the corners of her eyes, wrote down their names, and then kissed their foreheads one by one.
After doing this, she firmly gave the order to the remaining people to retreat.
When she got on Alfred's ship and sailed away from the shore, she could still faintly hear the shouts of murder coming from the woods.
There were less than 500 soldiers who followed Ella. They sat on the deck in disgrace and powerlessness, their morale was extremely low. Under this situation, Ella ordered:
"Take out your flag and put it up in the most conspicuous place on the ship!"
Hearing Aila's words, everyone was surprised. This kind of action was too ostentatious, and it was easy for the enemy to grasp their movements. They were retreating, and it was not like they had won a battle!
"What are you afraid of? Hang out boldly. I'm afraid no one will chase us. As long as they chase us, I will let them come back!"
Seeing the confident Ella, everyone doubtfully raised the flags on all the ships.
However, Ella's next instruction was even more unexpected than the previous one:
"Are there any musical instruments on the ship? Someone will play a song for everyone!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and they were even more confused about what kind of medicine was sold in Ella's gourd. It didn't look like he had lost the battle. I'm afraid some people would believe him if he said he was returning in triumph!
After sailing with great fanfare for several days, as they were about to pass Gotland, three ships caught up with them from behind and joined Ella and the others. Those were part of the bows and arrows that had successfully climbed aboard and escaped from the city of Uprun.
Men, Mellie was among them. She seemed fine and had no serious injuries. But when she learned that Alfred was seriously injured, she rushed to Ella's boat and ran to Ella's boat without looking back.
into the cabin where Alfred was.
One of these three ships was Alfred's flagship, with a catapult installed on it. Ayla looked at the catapult for a while, and then issued an order even crazier than the previous two orders:
"Drive this ship alone to the city of Gotland and throw a few stone bullets into it!"
"Your Majesty! What on earth do you want to do?" Even Amy couldn't help it and asked in front of everyone, "I did this when I went to Upland before to lure out their navy. But our fleet strength has already been
It’s not as good as before! We’re thankful that Gotland’s navy didn’t come out to stop us, so why should we provoke them!”
Ella still did not reveal his plan, but just said: "What we want is for them to come out. Then we can rest in Gotland - don't worry, although we are short of manpower now, when the time comes, there will naturally be a large army to respond
.”
Alfred's men did not believe Ayla's words, but the Sealanders ran over happily and took them off the flagship. Ayla asked the rest of the fleet to hide far behind, so as not to let Gotland find out
, only letting the flagship sail to the gates of Gotland City alone, and fired a few stone bullets into it.
"Shieldmaiden, the Gotlanders are still hiding and refusing to come out, what should we do?"
Ella stood at the bow of the boat for a while, sighed, and said, "It seems that the plan has failed. Let's just go back to Zealand."
After saying this, Ella walked into the cabin alone in silence.
When Amy walked in, she was surprised to find Ella lying on the ground, curled up and whimpering.
Is there any way to destroy the chasing enemies? How can there be a large army to meet them? However, if they just want to run back to Zealand in despair, then they will be blocked by Gotland and the whole army will be annihilated.
That's why she issued the dangerous orders one after another.
No one knows that the person who seems to be the most confident is actually suffering from a deeper fear than anyone else these days.
The names of the thirty warriors who stayed in Upland to cut off the rear are still written on the inside of Ella's clothes. However, how can she, who doesn't even know magic, have any way to defeat Ragnar's army that goes beyond common sense?
