Rurik and Hezekiah went over to take a look at the place Ella was pointing to. It was within the Seven Hills Empire. It was not quite close to the border. It looked no different from other border areas. But Ella even followed the map.
The river limits the range to a small circle.
They were puzzled and had no choice but to ask: "What's here?"
"The Croatian First Border Guards, 12,500 people, are stationed here. They are mainly infantry and are engaged in agricultural production on the border during their free time. Their combat effectiveness is extremely low."
After saying that, Ella moved the pen down a certain distance on the map and drew a small circle.
"There is also this location. The Mercian Field Army is deployed here, with 17,500 bowmen. It is one of the main forces of the Seven Hills Empire. It is equipped with a large number of cavalry and can carry out rapid maneuvers."
Rurik and Hezekiah were stunned when they heard this. This was the strategic deployment of the Seven Hills Empire troops and should be kept secret. But Ella sounded like she was counting the money in her pocket.
In fact, this is a situation that Ella had already mastered when she was Barcelona. The border guards were responsible for the immediate defense against invading enemies, while the field army used their mobility advantages to roam several border areas to carry out strategic strikes. The Seven Hills Empire's
This arrangement has not changed for hundreds of years, and his uncle will most likely not move it.
After drawing a rough range, Ella threw the pen away.
"These two troops are the most likely to participate in this combat operation. Go and see what they are doing right now!"
Ella's judgment was correct. The reconnaissance force sent there soon brought back news: the Croatian First Border Guard was purchasing grain and grass and manufacturing siege weapons.
"It seems that this war is also very urgent for the Seven Hills Empire. But this roughly confirms that these grains and siege weapons are for the upcoming Mercian field army, which is the real force to attack the capital of the island republic.
Main force."
"Then what are these navy here for?" Hezekiah asked.
"It's very simple. They are waiting for work." Ella replied, "Continuously approaching the capital of the Island Republic, even if they don't attack, they can force the fleet of the Island Republic to abandon the Republic of Liguria and quickly return to aid. I'm afraid Aulus has already
The location for the decisive battle has been chosen and the trap has been laid."
"It will take years and months to finish the fight against my mother-in-law? I can't wait any longer!" Rurik patted the table, "I might as well lead my troops to penetrate the Alemanni Federation and return to Azov City from Lulu!"
"...You don't want supplies anymore?"
Rurik fell silent for a moment. The five thousand of them sounded like a lot, but they carried more than 20,000 people's supplies for several months. If they didn't use ships and went overland, then they would be completely transformed into a transport team. Even if he
No matter how confident you are, it is impossible to use a transport team to penetrate the Alemannic Federation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, they can only wait for the nearby battle to end as soon as possible. Fortunately, this does not seem to be very far away. The Seven Hills Empire has caught the Island Republic by surprise, and the Island Republic's small territory is not enough to provide them with
room for maneuver.

The fleet of the Qiqiu Empire was slowly but firmly advancing in the direction of the Island Republic, putting increasing pressure on the capital of the Island Republic. In the first few days, many ships came every day carrying citizens of the Island Republic.
Insteria took refuge. However, the island republic quickly imposed martial law on the capital, making it difficult to enter or exit.
The fleets of the Seven Hills Empire and the Island Republic still haven't started fighting.
Finally, like Rurik, Ella couldn't help it anymore.
"We can't wait any longer! We are spending money every day! And it will also affect our return to sow seeds! Penetrating the Alemanni Federation is not feasible, and we cannot slowly transport supplies back to Asia like a caravan.
Sucheng?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that every time a caravan arrives in the territory of an Alemannic Federation lord, a tariff will be levied. The Alemannic Federation has more lords than ox hair, and there won't be much left after arriving in Azov City!
And there’s no guarantee that no one will peek at our supplies!”
"Then we have to find some way to generate income, right? Can't we just use 20% of the commission to guard Yinstria's city for ten days and a half?"
As soon as Ella finished speaking, Unstria's lord Unruok ran towards the port with a group of men. But when they arrived at the port, the old lord stood far away and did not dare to step forward.
After a while, the minister who came to be the messenger earlier ran towards Ella, huffing and puffing, shouting as he ran: "Mercenary! Mercenary! Stop guarding the port! The lord of the territory next door will lead him."
There are about a thousand troops running towards our territory, hurry up and drive them away!"
Ella did not expect that the lord of Yinstria would dare to use her as a mercenary, nor did she expect that a war would break out in Yinstria during her stay. After being stunned, she asked: "The territory next door
A lord? There are no lords in the Seven Hills Empire, but there are lords in the Alemannic Federation, but aren’t they from your country?”
Unruok heard Ella's words from a distance and immediately shouted: "Who is one of us with that bandit? He robbed me of my prey last time we hunted! This time he led his troops to Listri."
Ya, you must have bad intentions!"
"Well...it would be easy to deal with just a thousand people."
Since she said she was going to be a mercenary, Ella had no choice but to participate in this matter. But before she could nod in agreement, another group of people came running from a distance. The leader was from Onruok.
Son, before he even got to the port, he shouted to Onruok: "Father! You forgot to take your medicine again! They just used it to help the Island Republic. Didn't the Island Republic also tell you about this?"
"
Hearing the words "rush to the aid of the island republic", Ella was stunned again. But she only heard Onruok shouting at his son: "Who knows if they rushed to the aid of the island republic, they would also destroy us.
Oh! I have worked hard for several years before I can finally afford to drink wine. How can I let my enemies pass through my territory?"
"Father! You are stupid again! What kind of enemy? The dog you targeted the last time you hunted was someone else's hound! You almost shot the man's hound to death, and you even said someone was robbing you of your prey!"

"I don't care! It's rare for me to spend money to hire so many mercenaries. I feel bad if I don't use them! Mercenaries! Mercenaries! The money I paid is up to me! Go and beat that dog lord back!"
Ella stared at Onluok with a complicated expression: "...are you sure?"
"Sure... Uh, no, wait a minute." Ongluok pondered for a while, then waved the minister back.
He whispered a few words into the minister's ear. After a while, the minister came back wiping his sweat.
"Our lord just asked...well, asked you if you could beat that lord...and pretend that he was not instigated by us?"
