"...In this way, the other party will definitely find out that you are the mastermind behind the scenes, and then they will seek revenge in various ways. They will directly lead allies to attack you, send assassins to assassinate you, hire robbers to rob you... In short, your territory will be
No more peace!"
Ella danced around to "terrorize" the old lord of Instria, letting him understand how dangerous the situation would be if he continued with his current plan.
"One Sword Dominates"
Onruok suddenly became irritable: "Can't you think of a way not to be exposed? I paid! A lot of money!"
"A lot of money? You mean 20% of the normal price?" Amy sneered from the side, "If you are dissatisfied with us, how about we terminate the employment agreement now?"
If Aila cancels the mercenary agreement with Instria, no one can say what the five thousand garrison will do. Onruok was startled and said hurriedly: "No, no, no."
No, I am very satisfied with you! But...but since you are working as mercenaries, you must do something, right? I just want you to pretend to be bandits and teach the lord next door a lesson!"
"A bandit that can defeat an army of a thousand people? Is the banditry problem here so serious?"
Ella just said a rhetorical question. Unexpectedly, he was stunned for a moment and actually seemed to be overwhelmed by the question. He cast a questioning look at the minister next to him. The minister shook his head helplessly and replied.
: "There are no bandits. I haven't heard of it in the past few years. There are only some hillsides around here, and there is no place where many bandits can hide. It has always been very peaceful."
Amy lost no time in saying to the side: "This will inevitably lead to suspicion on you in the end. I have another idea. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate."
"What's the idea?"
Amy laughed: "It's very simple, you just need to give something to be robbed. If they rob you of a hundred cows in front of them, then they will definitely not think about it - how about it?"
"This..." The minister hesitated for a while, "Will this cow be returned to us in the end?"
"As long as you are not afraid of the matter being leaked, of course I can return it to you."
"Ah this..." The minister looked at Onruok timidly, "Lord? What do you think?"
When he heard "one hundred cows", Onruok's face suddenly showed a painful expression. He covered his heart and gasped, as if he had been hit hard. After a while, he trembled
He stretched out a finger: "This, this, this..."
Ungluouk said this for a long time without saying anything, and suddenly cast a reproachful look at the minister beside him. The minister was startled, and had to help Onluoak and said: "Well... our lord said,
Can we just have one...one cow?"
"One head???" Amy felt angry and amused, "I said, if you want to act in this play, you have to have ten heads, right?"
"Ten, ten, ten... Ten heads are ten heads."
Wengluooke held it in for a long time before finally uttering these words. Then, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he leaned on the back of the chair and became motionless.
Finally, Onruok asked his men to bring five cows...and five sheep.
Ella continued to let the pirates set traps on the mountain. During this period, she learned from the minister the origin of the festival between Onruok and the lord next door.
It turned out that when he was young, the relationship between Onluoak and the lord next door had always been good. However, as he grew older, Onluoak's mind gradually went wrong. Once again, they went hunting together, and Onluoak took advantage of him.
The hound of the lord next door regarded it as prey and shot three arrows at it. Fortunately, none of the three arrows hit it. The lord next door also knew that Onruok was old and committed a crime, so he just gave him a gentle reminder.
.But since then, Onruok has been looking for the lord next door to steal his prey. No matter how others persuaded him, it was of no avail.
"So actually the lord next door doesn't hate your lord?"
"Yes. Otherwise, you wouldn't have borrowed it from our territory so confidently and boldly. But our lord...hey, I hope you don't reveal that he ordered it this time."
In the afternoon, as soon as Ella prepared the trap, the scouts brought back news of the approaching enemy. Ella waved her hand confidently: "The battle begins! Lead the enemy here!"
The hill where Aila's formation is located is located on the side of Chidao, two arrows away from Chidao. In addition, the pirates are in ambush. If the enemy marches normally, they will not encounter Aila anyway.
Ella originally planned to send troops to conduct a sheep attack and fake defeat to lure the enemy closer to the hill. But now that she knew the relationship between the two lords, Ella boldly revised the plan and gave Yin the task of luring the enemy.
Soldiers of Stria.
There were thirty soldiers from Instria, guarding five cows and five sheep. After seeing the enemy's vanguard from a distance, they immediately drove the cows and sheep out from the side.
"Hey, brother, let me borrow this. You are not from here, are you? Are you going to the island republic?"
"Yes, go there to fight and make some money! Our lord is right behind!"
The soldiers from both sides had a friendly exchange. After that, Insteria's troops moved towards Ella, while the enemy's leading troops continued to move towards the coastline.
Soon, the enemy lord appeared on the road.
"Now!" Ella ordered to the entire army, "make some noise!"
The pirates suddenly jumped out of their hiding place and shouted at the top of their lungs!
The enemy lord suddenly heard the earth-shattering shouts coming from the side, and hurriedly turned his troops to form. At the same time, the soldiers of Instria threw off their armor and pretended to be defeated.
Zhang Di ran towards the enemy.
"Stop!" the lord shouted to stop them, "Where did you come from?"
"Master! Master! We are the people of Count Insteria. We just drove the sheep in, but suddenly many bandits appeared there, robbed our cattle and sheep, and even came here to kill them!
"
"How many enemies are there?"
"There are countless bandits!"
"There are actually bandits in this place. That old guy Onluok is really old." The lord laughed, "Go back and tell your lords that I will help him clean up these bandits on the way!"
With that said, he rode his horse to the front of the whole army, raised his sword and shouted: "Those are just a group of bandits! Come with me and kill them!"
"Coming, coming!"
Ella excitedly mobilized the pirates before the war.
"The whole army is ready to fight! Listen, as long as we capture the lord on the opposite side, we will have enough military expenses for these days. Let's seize the lord on the opposite side in one go and get the ransom!"
"Wait a minute... Your Majesty, they have stopped advancing... Your Majesty, they are retreating... Your Majesty, they have escaped!"
Ella almost fell off the hill: "What's going on?"
Amy looked at the distance, then at Ella's troops, and then said hesitantly:
"Could it be that...he saw that there were so many people on our side and just...ran away?"
