"Retreating? Weren't they still looking for water not long ago?" Ella said in disbelief, "Tell me more carefully, how did you get this information? Have you seen the enemy's camp?"
"No, I didn't dare to get too close to the enemy's camp, so I kept lurking far away." The scout replied, "But last night, when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard a burst of footsteps. Many people's footsteps.
Sound! I quickly followed the direction of the sound and sneaked over to take a look, and saw Bjorn's troops heading north in groups. I didn't dare to breathe loudly, and lurked beside me for a long time. He walked past me.
There were a lot of people, even if not all, there were 90% of the enemy troops! After they all passed by, I braved the courage to touch the location of the enemy's original camp and took a look. The camp was still there as before, but quietly.
There was no sound, even after waiting for a long time! Everyone inside must have left!"
"They must have discovered the King of Knights' plan and learned that Scotland was under attack, so they rushed back to rescue them!" said a knight. "They left the camp just to delay us, but they miscalculated. Our scouts left that night.
Their whereabouts have been discovered. This is a good time to pursue them, King of Sweden, lead us to attack!"
Ella shook her head: "I think it's a bit strange. According to Alfred's plan, they can't even transport the logistics. How could they suddenly learn the news from the rear?"
"That is because they lack food and have to retreat." Another knight said, "In any case, now is a good time to pursue. Even if it is to support the friendly forces in Scotland, we have to pursue!"
"I'm afraid that this is a deliberate strategy to lure us out." Ella continued shaking her head, "Without the protection of the city wall and the traps prepared in advance, once we encounter an ambush from the opposite side, we will be doomed."
Some people couldn't help shouting: "Bjorn is a barbarian from the north. Even the weapons of those Aztlan people are made of stone. How could they think of any traps! If they are so cautious and hesitant in everything, then why fight?
battle!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed. Ella felt her head was a little hot. Although Alfred handed over the military power to her, his subordinates were not so easy to obey. She could only quote Alfred's words
To calm this group of people: "Alfred just said..."
"Your Majesty, I feel that prohibiting them from attacking for no reason will only increase the friction between them and Your Majesty." Amy whispered, "Does Your Majesty have other ways to persuade them?"
Ella calmed down a little. She tried her best to put aside the pointing voices of the knights, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "It's okay to pursue them, but we have to first check out the situation in the camp where they stayed."
"The camp? Isn't there no one there? What's the use of going there now?" The knights said anxiously, "Hurry up and give the order to pursue. If it's too late, the enemy will be far away."
"They are in the heart of England and cannot be evacuated so easily. There is no rush now." Ella said, "We want to see what else is left in the camp. If there is a lot of luggage in it, it means they evacuated in a hurry.
, we can pursue. But if all the baggage is gone, it means they are prepared to retreat. Even if they are not trying to lure us out, they must be well prepared to deal with the pursuers. With the current strength gap, pursuit will be very dangerous.
!”
"That makes sense. Let's go take a look right away!" said the group of knights. "We will ride over with our retinue. If we find that something is wrong, we can come back immediately. If we find that we can pursue it, we will catch up on horseback first. Sweden
How about Wang Qian receiving the report and then leading the infantry to catch up?"
"Okay, I will also send someone here to follow you."
With that said, Ella turned around and whispered to Amy;
"Amy, ride up on Fenrir and keep an eye on them. Also help them pay attention to their surroundings."
Amy hesitated: "Your Majesty often uses camps to lure the enemy. I know what to pay attention to. But if you ask me to keep an eye on them... I'm afraid I won't be able to keep an eye on them."
So Ella comforted her: "It's okay. Once something abnormal happens and you can't stop it, just ride Fenrir back and report to me right away. With Fenrir's speed, he can carry me to catch up with them!"
Since Ella said so, Amy couldn't refuse. So she mounted Fenrir and followed the group of knights towards the enemy's camp in the report.
She felt that there was no need to get ahead of the group of knights, so she just followed them at a distance at first. But the huge white wolf still inevitably attracted the attention of the knights. On the way, they turned around from time to time and faced each other.
The white wolf under Amy, which was bigger than a horse, pointed. Finally, someone slowed down and came to her side and said, "Such a big white wolf needs to eat a lot of meat every day, right?"
"
"Yes, there is a lot to eat, and His Majesty wanted to sell it several times." Amy lovingly touched the white hair on Fenrir's head, "But he is also smart, every time His Majesty wants to sell it.
It would roar at your majesty every time, and then I would take the opportunity to scare your majesty, saying that this wolf can fight your snakes, and I would not care if it came back to seek revenge, so your majesty would give up the idea of selling it."
Back in Zealand, when Mellie released the snake from Ella's crowbar to fight Fenrir, these knights were watching. Now when they heard Amy mention it again, that thought suddenly came to their minds.
It was a tragic scene: a giant snake as tall as a person and a giant wolf as tall as a person were fighting in the center of the battlefield. The giant wolf was surrounded by fire, and the giant snake spewed poisonous mist from its mouth. Any soldier who came into contact with either of them would be killed.
Died tragically on the battlefield.
"So this is the wolf from that time? There is no fire on his body, so we can't recognize him!"
"You mean that fire? It has something to do with his master. At that time, Ivar had just died, and the flames on his body were still very fierce. But my Loki protection was not that strong, so basically it would not emit fire.
." Amy said, "The same goes for His Majesty's crowbar. When your Mellie used it to summon a snake, it looked very strong. But in His Majesty's hand, it was just an iron weapon used to fight sheep.
It’s just a weapon.”
"This wolf originally belonged to Ivar?" The knights were even more surprised. "We did hear that Ivar raised a white wolf. It was said to be very ferocious. No one except Ivar could control it, and everyone who fed it could not control it."
Several of them were eaten by it. How did you tame it?"
"I've always been very strange. It came here on its own. Maybe it's because I have Loki's protection like Ivar? Or maybe I know the magic of the elf-level Aphrodite? Maybe it's because I killed him
Ivar doesn’t necessarily think so…”
Unknowingly, the group of knights fell behind Amy. When Amy turned around, she was surprised: "Why are you all lagging behind? Is my Fenrir too fast? I should be slower...
…”
"No, no, no." The knights shook their heads hurriedly, "You go ahead, please!"
