"It should be around here!" Ella pointed to a mediocre piece of land and said to the hundred soldiers holding shovels, "Dig! Dig down as hard as you can!"
The soldiers took Ella's order and began to dig down the soil shovel by shovel.
"Hahaha, Amy, you see, this is a genius battle plan that only I can implement. I suddenly thought of it while sleeping on the Flying Zealander! So we spend most of the night on the Flying Zealander
Sleeping on the bus is helpful for improving memory..."
"There is no connection between the two! Didn't His Majesty remember all the books in the Royal Library from the beginning? I only remembered this drawing so late. Is it because I have been on the ship for too long and got seasick..."
"I'm not seasick! I'm not seasick!" Ella suddenly grabbed Amy and begged, "Amy, don't burn my boat..."
"Your Majesty, what do you take me for? OK, OK, I understand, Your Majesty is not seasick..."
Amy decided to give up arguing with Ella about this. Anyway, Ella would insist on sleeping on the Flying Zealander. In terms of safety, sleeping in a movable boat is indeed better than sleeping in a fixed palace.
Be good.
Looking at the soldiers who kept digging, Amy couldn't help but feel a little emotional: This city has a history of hundreds of years, and it has been built there since she was born. Ella is younger than her, but she is familiar with the structure of the city.
So clearly, in terms of knowledge, Ella is really knowledgeable.
Amy suddenly thought that maybe her Majesty could answer her doubts about that inexplicable voice.
"Your Majesty," she asked, "do you know what κα?σ?τ?κνον means?"
"'Is there still you? Son'." Ella replied casually, "There is also a widely circulated Latin version, 'et tu brutue', which means 'Is there still you? Brutus?'
"
"...Is there any allusion to this?"
"Were they the last words of Gaius Julius Caesar before he died? He was assassinated and died. Brutus was close to him, and he was seen among the people who assassinated him, so he
Then he said this sentence in despair: 'et tu brutue'."
"That Caesar...does he hate the Scipio family?"
"Hateful? Not so, right? He was a figure during the Republic of the Seven Hills. He defeated all foreign and political enemies, held great power, and forced the Senate to recognize him as a dictator for life. In the end, he was assassinated. This whole incident has nothing to do with Siberia.
The A family has nothing to do with it... In the end, the Scipio family won the throne of the Seven Hills Empire, but he had been dead for hundreds of years by then."
"Then, Your Majesty," Amy searched her memory, "what does 'the die has been thrown' mean?"
"Is this also a famous saying made by Caesar? There is a law in the Republic of the Seven Hills that any general cannot lead troops across a river north of the City of the Seven Hills without the authorization of the Senate, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion. He said this
He was crossing the river at that time, which meant that war was inevitable... Then he led his troops to occupy the City of Seven Hills and became a dictator."
"...Your Majesty, what do veni, vidi and vici mean?"
"Caesar sent a battle report to the Senate, which means 'I come, I see, I conquer'. What's wrong, Amy, is suddenly so interested in Caesar...?"
Amy silently raised her hand and looked at the back of her hand. At this moment, her blood was also flowing under the back of her hand.
Could it be that she is some kind of descendant of Caesar?
"Your Majesty, if, I mean if... if I were a descendant of that Caesar, what would you think of me?"
"Amy? I think you don't need to care about blood. After all, your surname is Scipio now, which is much more powerful than Caesar! What about Caesar's descendants? It's been hundreds or thousands of years, so you can't do it now.
Come out and claim the throne of the Scipio family?"
"It depends on who holds the throne." Amy smiled, "Like the throne of Sweden, your majesty got it entirely on his own, and it has nothing to do with blood. Even if Caesar himself comes over, he can't take it away, right?
?”
Amy felt relieved. She had always been worried that her blood would be detrimental to Ella, but as she just said, even if Caesar himself comes, there is no way to shake Ella's current status.
and--
"Your Majesty," she asked suddenly, "that Caesar, does he like to kill people?"
"No, right? He is a very powerful military strategist, and his political skills are also very good. He is not a guy who only knows how to fight and kill... Amy, why do you keep asking this...?"
Looking at Ella who was confused, Amy smiled softly again.
——Loki is the god of trickery. This is probably just one of his traps.
The soldiers not far away suddenly cheered: "It's a water pipe! King of Sweden, we found the water pipe!"
"Did you find it so quickly?" Ella suddenly turned her attention to the soldiers, "Quick, give the water pipe a shovel!"
A stream of water shot out like a small fountain.
Amy said with some curiosity: "The city of Azov...is cut off from water like this? Will they surrender like this?"
Amy was cheering with the soldiers. Amy's words suddenly touched a nerve in her and made her calm down.
"You reminded me. In order for Azov City to surrender, we must also defeat the reinforcements that may come."
Ella hurriedly walked towards the shore.
"Azov is an isolated city for the Republic of Liguria. Whether we want to get supplies or reinforcements, we can only get them by sea. Therefore, we don't need to invest too many people on land. Let the soldiers
Push all the ships into the sea and prepare for a naval battle."
"I understand. Your Majesty, how many troops should we put into the sea?"
"About sixty percent."
"Sixty percent? Your Majesty, we have to encircle three directions on the road, and only one direction on the sea. Is it a bit too much to invest 60% of the troops..."
"Only 60%...anything less may not be enough."
"If the strength is 60%, there will be a full 15,000 people!" Amy said in great surprise, "I see that the Republic of Liguria is only a small area on the map. If His Majesty hadn't pointed it out to me, I wouldn't have been able to find it.
Do you really need to use so many people?"
"We have already lost half the battle when we discuss how many people should stay on land and how many people should go into the water. For the pirate kingdom, ships are a tool for quickly deploying troops. But for the Republic of Liguria, the navy is the real
The Navy - we want our soldiers to practice more maritime operations in the past few days."
"Your Majesty, even though you say so, you are actually quite confident in your heart, right? We have ocean fire on our ship..."
Ella did not answer Amy directly. She looked at the sea in the distance - although it was calm at the moment, it would always stir up rough waves when people didn't expect it.
She shook her head and laughed:
"I'm overly worried. We can't last three days without water. Reinforcements from the Republic of Liguria shouldn't arrive so quickly."
