Glahid did not refuse Amy's request. He sat down at the table and glanced at the chess pieces: "Chess?"
Board chess is a special chess game in the Pirate Kingdom. One side's chess pieces are scattered on the four sides of the chessboard, playing the role of the attacking side, while the other side's chess pieces are gathered together in the center of the chessboard, playing the role of the besieged side.
The attacking side needs to find a way to capture the besieged side's king, while the besieged side must try to escape its king to the edge of the board.
Amy plays the attacking side, while Glahid plays the besieged side.
"Who was that just put in the sack?"
"Count Canute."
Amy made a move, and Glahid responded with a move.
"Canute? He was a brave warrior. He was loyal to the King of Sweden, but——"
Glahid stopped and did not continue. Amy smiled and continued without caring: "But you also hate me very much because of it, right?"
Amy was so straightforward that it surprised Glahid.
"Yes... Although you led those lords to win a battle, your successive performances have made many people hate you, and even thought you were going to seize power. The lords are now divided into two groups: those who appreciate your force
And those who support you, and those who are loyal to the King of Sweden and oppose you, the latter make up the majority."
"There are still people who are loyal to me? After Your Majesty comes back, let her think carefully about how to deal with these people."
"Wait a minute!" Glahid interrupted Amy in surprise, "If I understand correctly, what you just meant was to liquidate those who are loyal to you?"
Amy smiled miserably: "Of course. They are His Majesty's vassals, not mine. If they are not completely loyal, they are completely disloyal."
From the beginning, Amy had no intention of seizing power.
On the chessboard, Amy launched a fierce offensive and gained the upper hand. Glahid did not expect that this maid was so good at chess, so she couldn't help wiping her sweat:
"Do you often play chess with the King of Sweden?"
"No, the King of Sweden doesn't have that much time. She spends most of her time studying alchemy and observing the stars at night. On the other hand, I study chess in my free time. But no matter how hard I study, I haven't won once so far.
Your Majesty. Whenever this happens, I have to sigh: She is really a genius."
Amy eats Grahid's pieces one by one, gradually surrounding his king.
"All dangers your Majesty may encounter are based on her being a 'king'. In other words, as long as she is no longer a 'king', there is no need for others to harm her."
Amy clicked on Glahid's precarious king, and then showed her chess piece:
"Look, you can't attack me, right? After all, according to the rules, my 'king' didn't exist in the first place."
Grahid realized something: "So that's it. As long as the Alemannic Federation thinks that the King of Sweden has lost power, then even if they find the King of Sweden, there is no reason to harm her."
While talking, Amy ate another of Glahid's chess pieces. At this time, she could easily win, but she let Glahid's king go and continued to eat his remaining chess pieces.
Under Glahid's surprised eyes, Amy continued: "It's not just that. I also want to make the nobles of the Alemany Federation suffer in my name. I want them to gnash their teeth when they mention my name.
They wish they could peel off my skin, eat my flesh, and rip out my tendons."
"Why?"
"Because the more they hate me, the safer Your Majesty will be. I am the one who seizes power, and Your Majesty is my natural enemy. In the end, they may even take the initiative to send Your Majesty back in order to eliminate me, and this is my
Purpose - Whether you obey me or disobey me, Your Majesty will be safe."
"How did you come up with this strange method?"
With the last soldier eaten by Amy, Glahid had no choice but to surrender.
"I'm not as smart as Your Majesty. When I encounter problems, I can only think of this way to make myself look bad."
"Can you really bear this?"
"In order to get your Majesty back, my reputation is nothing."
Amy rearranged the chess pieces one by one. This time, she became the defensive side.
Glahid stared at the chessboard and thought for a while, then made a move.
"Since you have such a plan, why don't you explain it to the lords?"
"I have no trust in the performance ability of those pirates. If I want the people of the Alemannic Federation to believe that I have usurped His Majesty's authority, I can only do it this way. What's more, if I don't do these things, what will happen to me when I arrive?"
She is just an ordinary maid now, so what ability can she have to make those lords obedient?"
"If you look like this, you will be in danger." Glahid sighed, "That's all, this is your choice. But before considering such a long-term matter, let's think about the immediate problem first."
Glahid began to launch a fierce attack on Amy's king.
"Since you have spread the news about the disappearance of the King of Sweden, I think someone will take military action against us soon."
"This is a necessary fight. For my purpose, I will carve my infamy into their deepest fears."
Amy ate one of Glahid's sons with her backhand.
"Send a messenger and tell the lords of the Alemannic Federation this: If our army still refuses to surrender even if it comes within a hundred meters, no matter how noble the bloodline is or how high the title is, they will all be beheaded without exception!"
…
…
For a month, people in the Alemannic Federation could hear news of new lands falling every few days.
And now, a new castle has fallen.
Surrounded by the pirates, the leading noble threw down his weapons, raised his hands on his horse, and said sternly: "Stop! Stop! I surrender! I am a noble, give me the honor of a noble!"
When a pirate saw this, he stretched out his hand to pull him off his horse. Unexpectedly, the nobleman who had just raised his hands in surrender miserably saw the pirate, his face suddenly changed, he opened his hand and cursed: "
Don't touch me! Didn't you hear me clearly? I am a noble! How can I surrender to you commoners? Let your lord come to see me!"
When the pirates saw this, they suddenly became commotion. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards around the noble raised their weapons again. A fight was about to break out.
A girl's voice suddenly came clearly from a distance: "Which one is the noble?"
Hearing that sound, the pirates suddenly became quiet and dispersed to both sides of the company. Amy rode Fenrir from a distance.
The noble observed Amy carefully. The Fenrir she sat on was majestic and quite powerful, but her whole body and every move told others that she was just a commoner.
"Are you the leader of this team? You are lucky. I am the Earl of Brunswick. If you catch me, your lord will definitely give you a lot of rewards." The noble said calmly, "
But you are not qualified to accept my surrender, hurry up and ask your lord to come over."
Amy shook her head.
"I may not be lucky, but you seem to be really unlucky - I am the supreme commander of this army."
