Chapter 496 Warriors from a Foreign Land (1)

The next day, Ella's team finally headed towards Winchester. There was a small gravel road in the forest, which was used for daily communication between Winchester and Southampton. After making sure that there was no ambush in the forest, Ella

Ra's army could finally walk on it with confidence. A thousand men from Southampton, led by Castlered, were more familiar with the terrain, so they were arranged to lead the way. Grahid's men followed slightly; Ayla's three thousand men

Everyone is at the end.

Nothing happened in Southampton, which made Ella's soldiers feel a lot more relaxed - at least it showed that the enemy's power was not as great as imagined.

The whole march was relatively easy. Only Ella kept a gloomy face and let the horses bump without saying a word.

The measures Alfred took to guard against the Tianfang Empire put great pressure on Ella. She knew that her own force was poor, and she also knew that the invasion of the Tianfang Empire would eventually come. In order not to be captured by the Tianfang Empire before the war began,

After capturing the king, she took part of her time to learn swordsmanship.

The contract with Drague has increased Ella's physical fitness and given her a little more confidence - but, since even Alfred, known as the "King of Knights", has to be mentally prepared to be beheaded

.Then the swordsmanship she learned, can it really have any effect?

In fact, she should have realized this long ago - even Mellie, who could resist more than ten elf-level magicians by herself, was easily eliminated by the apostle.

The policies implemented by Alfred in Britain made her experience the oppressive feeling when the apostles approached for the second time. The first time was when she faced Ibn Sina directly.

"Maybe I shouldn't have saved Gregory at that time."

Touching the cold cross in her pocket, she even had such an idea.

But even this fantasy plan cannot erase the huge power gap between her and the Tianfang Empire: Gregory died in the Alemannic Federation, and the Tianfang Empire will soon have a new apostle to replace Gregory.

Not only will this not be able to attack the Abrahamic Church, it will even make the Heavenly Empire turn its attention to the West earlier. Moreover, if the new apostle is the same as Ibn Sina, she will only be more dangerous.

Dust noticed Ella's annoyance and rode closer to her.

"King of Sweden, what's wrong? The investigation in the forest didn't make you addicted to swordsmanship? Then do you want a sip of wine?"

Ella glanced at the wine bottle in Dust's hand: "Master, I told you, you can't drink alcohol while marching."

"That was when there was a mission. Now we just need to ride on horseback. Isn't it very free?"

The previous reconnaissance in the forest was not a success, and Daxter could not become a general just like that. However, Ella still became a small officer in Daxter, responsible for the reconnaissance. But this time there were troops from Southampton.

As for the investigation ahead, Dust had nothing to do. Seeing that Ella was unwilling to take the wine bottle, he shrugged, unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a sip into his mouth.

"Master, you are not allowed to drink either!" Ella said, "Nothing will happen during the march. You are an officer now and may be assigned missions by me at any time. Master, if you want to be a general, you have to do it.

So be ready for battle at any time!"

"It's really strict. It's impossible for me to get drunk with a sip of wine. If the smell of alcohol is sprayed in your mouth, it will help disguise..." Dast lazily tried to tell the difference for himself, but when he saw Ella's unfriendly eyes, he hurriedly stopped.

He picked up the flask and said, "Okay, okay, I won't drink. Don't glare at me! You look exactly like Anna when you glare at people. I'm even afraid that you will suddenly pounce on me and take off my arm!"

Looking at Dust, Ella suddenly asked, "You have so much strange knowledge, do you know astronomy?"

"Astronomy? I can use the North Star to find my way. As for the other things, they are not practical at all... What's wrong?"

Ella sighed: "It's nothing. I have a secret skill here, which must be taught to someone who knows astronomy, is smart, and makes me feel at ease. Since the master is not suitable, I will continue to look for someone."

Seeing Ella's expression darken again, Dast laughed and said: "King of Sweden, I heard something from Southampton yesterday. It was very interesting."

He wanted to use this topic to divert Ella's attention and make her feel better. But Ella still lowered her head and rode on the horse, as if she hadn't heard. Dast had no choice but to deliberately emphasize: "Maybe and

Is it related to Winchester’s current situation?”

"Winchester?" Ella tilted her head slightly, "Don't Southampton not know about Winchester?"

"There is no direct information. But Southampton is an important city on the road to Winchester. Can we get some peripheral information? No, I heard a strange thing from a dancer in a pub last night.

That's the thing - Speaking of which, the dancer's waist is really thin and she dances very well."

Dast deliberately changed the topic in the second half of the sentence, trying to further arouse Ella's curiosity. But before Ella could speak, Amy's voice came from the side:

"The dancers in the Southampton pub have very thin waists and dance well. Okay, I'll write it down."

Dast turned his head following the sound and saw Amy writing down what he said in a small notebook. His expression suddenly changed: "Why are you writing these down?"

"Who knows. Maybe someone will want to read it in the future." Amy put the notebook away with a smile, then patted Fenrir on the head, "Fenrir, let's go to the front and take a look.

"

"Wait a moment……"

Before Dust could say anything, Fenrir took Amy and ran away like wind.

"Master, don't worry about that dancer!" Ella's curiosity on the other side was piqued, "What strange things have you heard about? Tell me quickly!"

"Disciple, it's not that I don't want to talk about it as a master." Dast said with a sad face, "The little notebook in your maid's hand may be related to my wealth and life."

"If you want that book, I can help you find a solution in the future. But what exactly did you find out? Things related to military intelligence are important matters and cannot be delayed. Tell me quickly!"

With Ella's guarantee, Dust finally calmed down.

"That was before the Scottish fleet tried to land at Southampton and Winchester lost contact. Counting the time, I'm afraid it was still before Alfred sent you a messenger asking for help," Dast said, "

There was once a strange fleet that docked at Southampton. The fleet was small, and the people on it were wearing strange clothes. I don’t know where they came from. But those ships were exactly the same as the longships of your pirate kingdom! They rested in Southampton for a while.

The Queen set out for Winchester and never came back. The ships they brought were captured by the Scottish fleet that later attacked Southampton."
