A cliff lies in front of the landing site, making it impossible for Ella to understand the condition of the island.
"I discussed the follow-up work with several staff officers." Ulf came over with a stack of paper and said, "This island is definitely not Atlantis, and the situation is unknown, so we first have to climb to a high place to get an overview.
The whole picture; if it is indeed an island that can be used as a transfer station, then the surveyor will measure and record the corresponding longitude and latitude; after that, the most important thing is to replenish food and water sources. This work is best left to the gangsters and guards.
;Then there are the design drawings..."
"Wait a minute!" Ella started to understand a little bit, "Gangsters and guards? What do you mean?"
"Ah! I said I'm used to it." Ulf touched his head in embarrassment, "This is a nickname given to each other by several of our staff members. Gangster refers to Dast, Guard refers to Hjalmar, and
Estrade, we call him General."
Ella became a little interested, "What about you? Ulf?"
"apprentice!"
"Using the original identity as a nickname? It's easy to remember." Ella nodded, "Then what do you mean by the blueprint?"
"It would be bad if the island is occupied by other people while we are leaving the island for Vinland. Now that we are on the island, we must effectively control it. The general and I feel that we must build a stronghold before leaving the island, but this
Delaying this work for too long will delay the voyage, so we have to race against time to design the drawings first."
Before Ella even started to think about this matter, the staff department had already arranged the follow-up plan, which made her feel relaxed in her heart.
"You're doing a good job!" Ella nodded approvingly, "But I would like to add that before all this begins, the first thing we need to do is to plant the flag on the island!"
"Yes, I forgot about it." Malv smiled, "But, should I fly the flag of Captain Blackbeard or the flag of the King of Sweden?"
"Plant the flag of Hestein." Ella said, "This is the territory of the Kingdom of Heroes, discovered by Hestein. The King of Sweden has been staying in Gotland waiting for the goods from Lübeck and has not gone to sea."
Things were arranged in this way. After a trek, Ella and others successfully climbed to the highest mountain on the island. There was a valley on the north side of the mountain, and a rough river flowed through the valley bottom; on the opposite side of the valley was a
The wilderness once descended step by step, and there were several eagles hovering in the wilderness; the south side of the mountain peak was a gentle slope, covered with patches of bushes, and the brown and green vegetation continued forward, with no edge visible at a glance.
.
At the end of the horizon, there are still the shadows of several hills...
"Although it is not a continent, it is quite large." Estrade said from the side. "An island of this size has fresh water. As long as it is properly cultivated, it should be able to sustain the long-term life of five to six hundred people."
However, reclamation is a matter for the future. The most important task at the moment is to replenish food and water sources that can be eaten immediately to support the fleet's voyage further. According to the previous plan, Dust and Hjalmar led the team to find food
, Estrade and Ulf were responsible for building a simple camp and considering establishing a stronghold.
As for Ella, she found the most conspicuous place on the island and planted the flag of the Pirate Kingdom.
Then, because the camp had not been built yet, she could only sit on the rocks in a daze.
"Boring! So boring!" It didn't take long for Ella to yell, "I'm going to direct the construction of the camp!"
"Estrade has chosen a location and it will be completed before evening." Amy said from the side. "He has gone through hundreds of battles with Ragnar and is very experienced in this area. Your Majesty does not need to worry."
"Then I'm going to look for food too! To hunt!"
"With Dust here, among other things, he is best at finding food in the wilderness..."
"Then I can't do math problems now, right? My insomnia just got better last night, and I don't want to touch this thing for a while!" Ella stood up suddenly, "I am Master's disciple, I look for food.
He’s also very good at it! Come on, Amy, let’s go hunting! Watch me catch a big fat sheep and come back!”
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty???"
Amy chased nervously behind, but Ella ran further and further away - that was a contractor of the dragon tribe, and she couldn't catch up with her physical strength.
When she finally found Ella in the wilderness, Ella was poking half of her head out of a newly dug hole in the ground, looking around cautiously like a little rabbit.
"Your Majesty...could it be that you want to hide here and launch a surprise attack on the sheep?"
"No, I just dug the hole and haven't had time to climb out yet."
Ella wiped the dirt from her face, turned over and crawled out of the hole.
"Next, we need to find some branches to lay on top of the hole, and then spread some fresh grass on the branches, and then we can wait for the prey to take the bait!"
Amy tilted her head and glanced at the hole: "But Your Majesty, this hole is only as big as you. Can prey really fall in?"
"As long as the opponent can fall down, it's enough! I'll hide next to it. As soon as the prey falls, I'll rush over and hold it down..."
"No, Your Majesty?" Amy was shocked, "You don't want to fight with the prey, do you?"
"So what?" Ella said proudly, "The bait I used is grass. How big can a herbivore be?"
Amy couldn't help Ella, so she could only watch Ella tossing and covering the hole with branches and leaves.
"It's done! Amy, what do you think?"
"Impressions... It would be nice if the staff committee could hold a meeting about this kind of thing."
"First of all, this is not a military operation and the staff group has no control over it; secondly, even if there is a meeting of the staff group, Master will agree with me. If it is not unanimously opposed, you will not be able to veto my proposal; thirdly..."
Ella suddenly lay down and put her ears to the ground.
"Shh... Amy, hide quickly, the prey is coming!"
"Don't lie down on the ground and pretend at times like this! I can already feel such a big shock even while standing!"
A cloud of smoke and dust rolled in from far and near, and from the smoke and dust, there came the sound of thousands of troops galloping. The earth-shattering sound shook Ella's confidence a little: "What is running here?"
...Herds of deer? Herds of horses?”
"Your Majesty? Should we retreat first?"
"Don't be afraid!" Ella managed to maintain a confident smile, "Master said that groups of animals are generally herbivores, so there is no danger. Unless they are wolves..."
A beast rushed out of the smoke first. It had long brown hair, four hooves, an ox's nose, and ox's horns...and was several times larger than a brown bear.
——That's right, brown bear.
Dozens of bison rushed out from the smoke, and the smallest cub among them was close to the size of a brown bear!
"It is indeed not a pack of wolves. Your Majesty...are you prepared to fight against such a thing?"
"Cows...are indeed herbivores, but is this cow too big?"
Ella turned to look at Amy stupidly:
"Speaking of cows, they are docile animals with no danger... that should be true, right?"
