The wind blew loudly, and the woods on both sides receded quickly, forming a green line. After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up. The sky took a long breath and escaped from the confinement of dense branches and leaves. Amy
Holding Fenrir's neck tightly, he stopped on his side on a raised highland. Through this highland, Ayla was able to observe the battle situation not far away.
The first thing that caught the eye was Glahid and his archer troops. They took a position on another high ground further ahead, but for some reason they did not shoot arrows. Then Ella saw Southampton's men and horses, and the men who had been ambushed in the forest earlier.
The men and horses in the team were all dressed in commoners. They formed a circle and surrounded the enemy, but for some reason they did not move forward.
Surrounded in the circular formation were the fifty enemies in the report. They also formed a circular formation, facing the enemies from every direction. Compared with Southampton's men and horses, the number of this group of people was really huge.
There were so few that Ella almost ignored them. They wore eagle-shaped helmets and were covered with colorful decorations. As for the materials of their shields and weapons, Ella couldn't see them clearly because they were too far away - but through
With this information, Ella has become convinced that these people are the Aztlan people who visited Gotland before.
In the middle of the circular formation stood a very tall enemy, probably the enemy's commander. He was naked from the waist up, with one hand holding a mace thicker than his thigh on his shoulder, and the other holding a mace that was obviously larger than the others.
He wanted a large and exquisite shield. From both sides of his mouth, billowing black smoke kept coming out for some unknown reason.
There were more than ten people who were tied and kneeling on the ground in the circular formation. They looked like English civilians that the enemy had captured from somewhere. They had their heads lowered and remained silent because their mouths were gagged. The enemy also remained silent.
.Even the troops of Southampton and Glahid did not move at all. The two sides just faced off with big eyes and small eyes, and no one was willing to take the lead.
Fenrir jumped down from the high ground and carried Ella and Amy to Glahid's position.
"What's going on now?" Ella shouted to Glahid, "Why don't you attack?"
Glahid raised his hand and showed Ella his empty quiver.
"When we arrived, Southampton's troops were already showing signs of retreating. Fortunately, we shot in time to stop them. But this group of enemies was very difficult to deal with. They used magic to deflect all the arrows we shot onto the shields. You see
, their shields were full of our arrows. After we shot all the arrows, we only killed three or four people. During this period, Southampton's troops regrouped, but they seemed to be afraid of being beaten and did not dare to attack.
Fortunately, the enemy was also tired, so we surrounded them here and waited for you, King of Sweden, to arrive."
"The enemy is really so brave?"
Ella asked a group of soldiers to run back to the forest, collect the arrows from the rear troops and transport them here. Then, she whispered behind Amy and asked: "Amy, are they really all 'self' level?"
Amy closed her eyes, and after a long time she opened them and shook her head: "There is indeed magic, but it is very weak. It should only be around the 'entry' level. No one can reach the 'self' level."
"How is that possible?" Glahid was anxious, "Although I'm not as good as you, I have also learned magic. Based on their performance just now, I think the 'self' level is low. Maybe some of them have reached the natural level!
"
"I'm not doubting you, I also know that fifty entry-level people can't stop this team of more than a thousand people." Amy seemed very embarrassed, "But the magic power on them is indeed only at the entry-level level.
'Self' is a long way off."
Ella was puzzled. She didn’t understand magic. What Glahid and Amy said sounded reasonable, but how could a person’s magic suddenly reach the self-level and then only the entry-level? What’s more, there is more than one person.
so?
In her opinion, this group of "Aztlan people" is simply full of mysteries. Since they can find fifty self-level magicians to form a team, it must not be a small country. But she has never been in any
I have read about this country in a document, but I don’t know where this country is located, how big its territory is, and whether it is connected by land to this continent. Such a country would suddenly appear near the capital of Britain and attack an army of thousands of people. Among them
The doubts are so deep that even if she were told now that Aztlan suddenly emerged from the water, she would still be willing to accept it.
After continuing to observe for a while, and guessing that the additional arrows were about to arrive, Ayla climbed down from Fenrir and let the Southampton men separate. Accompanied by Amy, Glahid and a group of archers, Ella arrived at the group of enemies.
In front of them, the people and horses along the way handed over the remaining bows and arrows for the use of Glahid and others.
Seeing this action, the enemy's circular formation also separated. The tall commander stared at Ella in the circular formation, panting like a wild animal and puffing out smoke from the corners of his mouth.
"I am the King of Sweden under the Kingdom of Heroes, Ella Cornelius Scipio!" Ella announced her identity loudly, "Who are you?"
"A woman is the king?" The commander laughed obviously mockingly, smashed the rattan shield on the ground, and pointed his free hand towards his chest, "Boncho Tlacopan of the Aztlan Empire
The leader of the Eagle Warriors, 'Smoke Shield' Chimalpopoka!"
Ella nodded: "Chimalpopoka, I don't know what the dispute is between you and Britain, but Alfred is my ally and the ally of the entire Hero Kingdom. What you see now is just the vanguard.
, my army is coming here. You have no chance of winning. Depending on the situation, other lords of the Hero Kingdom will also send troops, and any of your strategies has no chance of success."
With that said, Ella glanced at Chimalpopoka's weapon. Just like the report, it was not made of metal, but some kind of black stone. Since a leader who seemed to have a high status used such
sword, then I guess the Aztlan Empire didn't know metallurgy.
"Put down your weapons, release the prisoners of war behind you, and leave Britain. This way I can consider sparing your lives." Ella said, "If your king has sufficient funds, you can also send representatives to study at the university in Gotland.
Even if you can’t learn how to smelt iron, if you go back and learn some techniques of smelting copper, it will be better than using stones as weapons, right?”
"Drop your weapons?"
Chimal Popoka put away his sword and took a throwing spear from his subordinates with his backhand. Seeing the killing intent in Chimal Popoka's eyes, the soldiers who had dispersed quickly gathered together to block Ella's front.
.But this action made Chimalpopoka laugh even harder:
"Coward! If you want my heart, come and get it yourself!"
As he spoke, he threw the throwing spear fiercely towards Ella.
