Odin's blessing. This news spread like crazy among the Ligurian army. Along with it, there was another related speculation - the enemy general was the Supreme King of the Pirate Kingdom, "Undefeated"
"Ragnar Lodbrok!"
"Isn't that right?" Dast shook his head repeatedly, "I heard that Ragnar died a long time ago?"
"Dead?" A mercenary accompanying him tilted his head and asked, "Have you seen him?"
"I just heard..."
"Then why don't you run quickly!"
The mercenary turned his horse around in panic, even throwing away his weapons and armor.
Several flying axes passed by Dast's ears. The pirate kingdom's army was charging towards Dast in a menacing manner.
"Princess..." Dust looked at Anna beside him with pleading eyes.
Princess Anna turned the horse's head in panic: "Look what I do! Do you think I can deal with that legendary pirate king???"
"Okay... then think of it as Ragnar Lodbrok." Dust wiped his sweat, and then shouted after those voices, "It's Ragnar Lodbrok!"
It’s the legendary Pirate King! Everyone, run away!”
The entire Republic of Liguria was defeated in this way.
"Gu...what's the noise over there?"
Ella was wearing pajamas, wiping her sleepy eyes, and walked onto the deck in a daze.
"It's not Najirfa, it's the Flying Sealander..."
"Your Majesty! You are finally here!"
Amy rode Fenrir and quickly arrived under the "Flying Zealander"
"Gu? Amy? Are you... having a celebration party?"
…
…
Ella was brought into Rurik's camp by Amy. During the night attack just now, Rurik ran out of bed and participated in the battle. As a result, his wound opened and he fell to the ground unconscious.
"What's going on?" Ella asked in surprise, "Who could hurt Rurik like this? Is it that Dust?"
Amy said: "Your Majesty, according to my judgment, it was definitely not Dast who shot Rurik. In the magic system of the Seven Hills Empire, the only things related to bows and arrows are the protection of Apollo and Artemis.
If it was Apollo's protection, Rurik's wound would have been burned at the same time, but the doctor said there were no such marks on Rurik's wound. So it was not Apollo's protection that shot Rurik.
The protection is the protection of Artemis. And the protection of Artemis is only given to women, so it absolutely cannot be the man named Dust."
"If it's not Dust, who is that?"
Amy lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty, it's your cousin, Anna Cornelia Scipio."
"Is it Anna?"
Ella's brows tightened. She walked to a corner and sat down in a daze. She was in a daze for a while, and then began to count her fingers one by one.
Amy felt that she could understand Ella's feelings. After all, Anna was Ella's sister and suddenly became an enemy on the battlefield, so she would definitely be struggling internally.
"Your Majesty, don't think too much." Amy comforted, "This is a battlefield, she is an enemy, and his father is also a rebel. Even if you kill her on the battlefield, Your Majesty has no need to feel guilty...
"
"Kill her? What are you talking about?" Ella responded with some surprise, "I was just thinking about how much ransom Anna can get in exchange for it! She is the princess of the Seven Hills Empire, will one hundred thousand Nomisma be able to get it?
Is it too little? Amy... do you think that if I ask for two hundred thousand nomism horses, will my uncle be willing to pay?"
"His Majesty……"
"Huh? Amy, how much ransom do you think Anna can get in exchange for it?"
Amy couldn't help shouting: "Before thinking about this kind of thing, Your Majesty, shouldn't you first think about how to capture the city of Azov? Rurik's siege has failed! Let's agree in advance, my Azov
Phrodite's protection has no effect on Anna, so I can't replace Rurik!"
"Capture the city of Azov? What's there to think about? Have you decided on a plan not long before departure? Siege the city until they run out of supplies and surrender, or let Rurik be the vanguard to attack. Now Rurik is
If this is the case, then we can only use the previous option, right?"
"Your Majesty, are you really planning to besiege the city? It will take many days to exhaust their supplies! Has Your Majesty ever calculated how much food and grass this will cost? More than 20,000 people have gathered outside the city. Over time, it will easily break out.
What to do about the epidemic? There are many wounded soldiers like Rurik in the army now, and they need to go to the city to recuperate as soon as possible!"
"It won't take more than five days." Ella said, "You should find a hundred soldiers to follow me now...bring shovels."
…
In Asia City. Anna's room.
"Ahhhh! I was totally fooled by the rumors!" Anna held her head and shouted angrily, "According to the descriptions of those who have seen Ragna, although Ragna can increase the strength of the entire army,
He has combat power, but his own strength is just an ordinary elf level? I'll kill him with an arrow from a distance and that's it. Why should I run? When will they attack the city? I want to avenge my previous shame!"
"I just came down from the city wall." Dast said, "The pirate kingdom's army stayed quietly in the camp and seemed to have no intention of launching an attack."
"Then what are they doing? Building siege engines? Do they have such technology?"
"I have seen trebuchets in their camp. But they have no intention of launching an attack. They seem to simply want to surround Azov City..."
"Those barbarians still want to use equipment to break through the city wall of Azov?" Anna looked like she had seen an idiot. "The Republic of Liguria paid a lot of money for Azov to build the city of Azov! The Empire of Seven Hills built it!"
Engineering technology is unparalleled in the world. Even the elf-level Ares Guardians cannot easily break through our carefully constructed city walls. Just rely on their toys made by children?"
"Maybe they want to surround the Republic of Liguria until it runs out of food..."
"How long can the food in the city last?"
"A year... I don't know about water. I have been here for a few months and I still don't know where the water in the city comes from. Although we are close to the sea, the sea water is salty..."
"The water comes from distant rivers and is transported by water pipes."
"Water pipes?" Dust was stunned for a moment, "I haven't seen any water pipes in the city."
"Ahhhhh, I feel like I can't communicate with you foreign barbarians!" Anna pulled her hair out in annoyance, "Of course the water pipes are buried underground! Have you never seen this kind of technology?
That is an important facility that supplies water for the entire journey. Is it laid on the ground waiting to be cut off by the enemy during the siege?"
"Then...will the enemy dig our water pipes?"
"They don't even know the direction or depth of such a large prairie. Where are they going to dig? There are only two copies of the design drawings of Azov City. One is in the hands of the Republic of Liguria, and the other is closely kept in Seven
The restricted book section of the Royal Library of the Qiu Empire. Without that blueprint, no one would be able to find the water pipe!"
