"Sir, the matter has been settled. Tomorrow, a group of hateful thieves will appear outside the city and send our little golden bird to the underground paradise."
This is a letter written by Ella's uncle Sue Cornelius Scipio in order to murder Ella. The original text was encrypted, but Amy deciphered the cipher text under Ella's guidance.
, learned of this plot in advance.
This is also the beginning of everything.
"Use the Caesar cipher first, and then the barrier cipher...?" Ella recalled the steps used to decrypt it at that time.
However, now that we have the cipher table, where is the ciphertext? Each of the three letters written by Amy is longer than the other, and the semantics are all fluent. It can be said that the letters in these sentences are rearranged according to rules.
New sentence - Although not necessarily impossible, Amy is not that smart.
Ella focused on the letters that had been altered by Amy - even though they were erased, Amy's hand was very light, and through the messy lines, she could still see clearly what letters were originally there.
Ella picked out the letters from the letter and copied them onto another piece of paper. Then, following Amy's prompts, she first used the Caesar cipher and then the barrier cipher to decrypt the cipher text:
"Your Majesty, how much free time do you have? Is it okay to just believe that I have betrayed you? I originally wanted to use this cipher text as evidence to avenge myself in the future?"
At the beginning of the first paragraph, Amy complained like this.
Ella laughed: "Stupid Amy, how much do you look down on me?"
"However... Your Majesty's ability to decipher these ciphers is completely within my expectation."
In the following text, Amy reported to Ella what happened during this period. In the secret text of the first letter, Amy first told Ella about Frei Avnet and told Ella
Her plan was to finally tell Ella that she had captured Hamburg. The contents of the next two letters were supplements to the latest developments.
"Stupid Amy!"
After reading all the contents, Ella crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it out in anger.
From the letter, Ella realized that Amy was not really ready to fight a full-scale war with Alemanni. While going to war with Alemanni, she had already left Ella an opportunity for a peaceful solution - she put
She took all the notoriety on herself, portraying herself as a traitor who seized power from Ella.
She must have discovered that the Alemannic Federation had a grudge against the Pirate Kingdom, so she used this method to promote talks between the two parties.
At the same time, Amy wrote everything that happened in cipher text in a letter to the businessmen - presumably from the beginning, Amy knew that she would be betrayed by those businessmen, and these letters would be handed over as evidence by the businessmen.
Leave it to Ella.
And all the military progress Amy has made in the Alemanni Federation will become Aila's preparation for the talks.
Next, as long as Ella follows the path she has paved, puts all the blame on her, and successfully "counterinsurgency and reset". In this way, the Alemanni Federation will not only not have any grudge against Ella, but even
The relationship with Ella will become closer.
But--
"Idiot! Amy, you are a complete idiot! You think so much, but what about yourself? What should you do?"
If Ella really follows the path paved by Amy, then Amy will truly be a traitor. This is not something that friends can forgive each other with just an apology. As a king, Ella cannot leave a friend alone.
The rebels will not be dealt with!
"If you think the Alemannic Federation is annoying, then just go and fight it! Do you have to make me look so clean?"
No - Ella shook her head. The reason why Amy did this was to protect her safety.
Amy has noticed the hostility of the Alemanni Federation towards Ella, but Ella is unaware of it. In order to protect Ella, she has to focus all the hostility towards Ella on herself.
The nobles of the Alemannic Federation were originally just mercenaries of the Seven Hills Empire. After they rebelled, they occupied more than half of the western territory of the Seven Hills Empire. Its founder, Carl Carolingian, even gave the emperor of the Seven Hills Empire the exclusive title "Austrian"
"Gustus" was applied to himself.
In Ella's eyes, the Alemannic Federation is completely a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors.
The reason why she has not taken action against the Alemannic Federation is simply because the current number one enemy is the Tianfang Empire, followed by Su Cornelius Scipio who has usurped power, and the Alemannic Federation has not yet had its turn.
That’s all.
"But to be honest, the Alemanni Federation is much weaker than I thought..."
Ella said to herself. She remembered what she saw in Île-de-France. Judging from the time, Amy had already launched a war against Alemany, but there was peace near Île-de-France and no war was seen at all.
signs.
The seemingly huge Alemannic Federation is actually just a piece of loose sand.
"Amy, I will work hard to reach a friendly treaty with the Alemannic Federation and open up trade routes."
Ella looked out the window at the sky.
"If they don't agree...then I have to advance my plan to deal with these rebellious officials and traitors."
Rebuilding the West Qiqiu Empire first, and then taking back the throne of the East Qiqiu Empire doesn't sound like a big problem.
…
…
Early on the third day, Duke Otto sent a carriage to pick them up. In the evening of the same day, Ella arrived at the capital of the Duchy of Angria. Duke Otto held a grand banquet for Ella there. Also present were the guests.
There are large and small lords in the northern part of the Alemannic Federation, as well as many wealthy businessmen.
"Cheers to the return of the King of Sweden!"
Duke Otto raised the wine glass high, and everyone cheered and drank the wine in one gulp.
"King of Sweden, look at these people here, they are all your loyal supporters!" Duke Otto walked up to Ella holding a wine glass, "The lords have gathered eight thousand elites, and the merchants have also
We have prepared all the supplies needed for the war. As long as you nod your head, you can take those troops and supplies to invade the pirate kingdom and take back the position that belongs to you!"
Someone shouted from the side: "When a victorious person sets out on an expedition, he will surely succeed immediately! Those rebellious officials and traitors can be destroyed with a snap of the fingers!"
"So, what's the price?" Ella sat calmly in her seat and asked.
Duke Otto laughed "Haha": "How dare you ask for such a price! We are willing to support the King of Sweden this time, all for the sake of peace between Alemanni and the Kingdom of Heroes!"
"However, I have a small, insignificant request." The mayor of Hamburg said at the side, "I want to put a leash on that rebellious Amy and let her be a watchdog!"
"This is a good suggestion!" The businessmen who had been humiliated by Amy laughed knowingly, "It would be too easy for her to execute that woman. She should be stripped naked and tied in front of the city gate, and let her
A guard dog!"
"Are these the only requirements?"
Ella slowly picked up the wine glass. Amidst the laughter of everyone, she suddenly threw the wine glass to the ground!
"Did you make a mistake? I want to go back, do I still need your help?"
Amid everyone's shocked expressions, Ella pushed away her chair and stood up.
