"Bjorn." Ella frowned. According to Alfred's description, it is indeed difficult for him. His magic can attack from a distance, and it is difficult for him to fall into a trap. Once he breaks through
With the city wall, defense becomes meaningless. In addition, even at close range, his swordsmanship is very troublesome.
She unconsciously cast her gaze on Amy: "Amy, your Loki's protection..."
"Ivar is Bjorn's brother." Amy replied, "Even if I want him to help me, he won't help me."
"I'm sorry, it's my problem." Ella said apologetically. To reach Loki's protection above the elf level, she needed to give up Amy's body to Ivar. She shouldn't have mentioned this anyway.
Seeing that Ella felt a little guilty, Amy hurriedly added: "But I can use Aphrodite's protection to try my best to help. Although I can't completely stop Bjorn's actions, there is still no problem in interfering with him."
"In this case, we can only place our hope on you, Glahid." Ella turned to look at Glahid, "Once Bjorn comes on the scene, you and all your archers will aim at him and keep shooting."
"Aim all at Bjorn?" Glahid replied, "To be honest, this may not be effective, and we will not be able to support the battlefield."
"As long as we can interfere with Bjorn so that she can't breach the city wall. If the city wall is lost, no amount of archer support will be able to replace it."
"In this case, my subordinates can also participate." Alfred said, "Although Glahid is the strongest archer in Britain, I still have a group of slightly inferior archers here."
The battle plan was decided in this way. Although everyone felt that some of the plans were not very satisfactory, no one could come up with a better plan for the time being.
"Then let's talk about the most important thing!" Ella leaned her head towards Alfred, "Your troops went to steal homes easily, and let my troops do such a difficult job, you have to show some expression, right? You
How much money is left in the treasury? Tell me?"
"It's really a pirate-like negotiation." Alfred smiled, "Although I know Sweden is very poor, it's a pity that I don't have much money left here."
"How could this happen!" Ella yelled, "Then I became a free mercenary, didn't I? Although the Island Republic also treated me as a mercenary at the beginning, it also gave me some money!"
"Aren't we allies? Why are we talking about money?" Alfred said, "How about this? I think your Swedish soldiers are mainly infantry. After this war is over, I will support you with a group of war horses and send a few more
Knight, how about helping you train your cavalry team?"
"Well... I still want money."
"I know that Swedish horses are stronger than ours," Alfred said, "but the formation of a cavalry team requires more than just horses. Without experienced commanders and good training, it is just riding
Just a horse person."
Ella thought of the Seven Hills Empire's First Field Army, which was mainly cavalry but collapsed every time, and Berengar's armored holy cavalry, which although small in number, played a key role every time.
"Okay...but during the defense of the city, all my troops will eat and drink from you!"
"Sweden's food supply must be in trouble." Alfred replied, "Not only during the defense of the city, but after the war is over, I can also support you a little, although not a lot."
The agreement was reached. Alfred began to recruit citizens to carry out the planned trap operation. However, the Black Death was already on the rise in Winchester, so not too many people could be recruited. Fortunately, most of them were already sick.
With everyone in prison, the situation was still easy to control. Ella sent people to clean the prison, put some flea poison and rat poison, and then kept the sick people in the prison. Others were transferred to other places.
Isolate.
There are a total of 3,000 sulfonamides in the army. Based on the number of people who may become ill in the future, the number is far from enough. They can only wait for the support of Paracelsus. As for Dan, although Ella asked him to make sulfonamides,
He didn't hold out much hope - he had limited manpower alone, and his "medicine" was really hard to explain. If Dan hadn't come up with an antidote to eliminate hair odor the next morning, Ella wouldn't have even taken the sulfonamide.
I didn’t even want to tell him the recipe.
Those who died of the Black Death, as well as the corpses whose hearts had been dug out outside the city, piled up so much that Winchester currently had no time to bury them. But leaving these there would accelerate the spread of the Black Death.
The corpses were piled together outside the city and burned with oil. The fire that burned the corpses lasted for several days. Rats and flies screamed and fled in the fire, as if they had seen the end of the world.
After these tasks were completed, Ella took Amy to the city wall to inspect the completion of the traps. Less than half a month had passed since the combat meeting, and the planned traps and equipment were advancing at an unexpected speed, but
Ella still looked worried.
"Amy, to be honest, I have no confidence at all whether these traps and equipment will work." Ella said, "It would be great if I had someone with the power of a great elf or above. He would cultivate great elf magicians."
I have already made plans, but I can't find a suitable person who is familiar with astronomy."
"Your Majesty, I still don't understand the relationship between astronomy and magic." Amy said, "Your Majesty, you are the best in astronomy, but you still don't know magic? And you clearly don't know magic, why do you believe in your plan?
Can we cultivate magicians who are above the Great Elf?"
"I'm not convinced, I just think it's worth trying." Ella sighed, "Forget it, don't think about these unrealistic things. How about I write another letter to get Gottfried, but he probably won't be able to come in time.
Already..."
"If Your Majesty feels embarrassed, you can actually retreat directly." Amy said, "I always feel that we are at a disadvantage due to Alfred's proposal. And the fact that the situation has become like this is entirely due to problems with Alfred's strategic deployment.
Your Majesty has done your best to save Alfred."
"If our opponents are only the Aztlans, we can indeed retreat. But as soon as Bjorn appears, the situation changes. Amy, you don't think that after Bjorn takes over Scotland and Ireland, he will leave the pirate kingdom alone.
Don’t you care?”
Amy was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and replied: "Indeed. His father and three brothers all died in the hands of His Majesty and Hestein, and the territory was also taken away. After establishing a foothold in Scotland, he
I will definitely come to take revenge."
"I think before, he was still called Boss Hestein." Ella sighed, "I really want to leave his matter to Hestein."
At this moment, a knight hurried up to the city wall.
"King of Sweden, it's not good. The King of Knights seems to be suffering from the Black Death. Go and have a look quickly!"
