Chapter 2 The Shield Woman and the Philosopher's Stone (4)
"Listen." Dan leaned his head in front of Ella, "Before I finish reading the records in your memory, you are not allowed to be harmed in any way. Do you understand?"
"Just give the order to your subordinates. Why are you saying this to me?"
"Order? No, those pirates only obey the 'King of Beasts' in their hearts, and no one else's orders can be applied! Even if I give the order, there is no guarantee that some of them will take action against you. I can't every
With you by your side every second, there is only one way to keep you safe among this group of pirates!"
Dan rummaged around the house and found a small shield. He cut the rope around Ella's body with a knife and forced the shield into Ella's hand.
"Gu... Okay, so heavy!"
"Hold it if you want to live! Then come out with me!"
Dan almost dragged Ella outside the house, and then ordered the pirates guarding the house outside: "Go and call them over!"
Not long after, the pirates in Dan's team arrived one after another. In front of everyone, Dan grabbed Ella's arm and raised it:
"Listen, at this moment, I appoint this woman as the 'Shield Girl'. From now on, she will fight with us as a heroic warrior until she dies heroically on the battlefield and is called to the Hall of Valor by the gods!"
"Shield, shield girl?"
Not only Ella, but also the pirates looked at Dan with expressions of "What is this madman talking about?"
A shield maiden is a woman selected as a warrior in the pirate kingdom, and is the prototype of the Valkyrie in their mythology. Even among the pirates, women who can go on the battlefield are very rare. And in the Seven Hills Empire
From the perspective of people, the so-called shield maiden is closer to legend.
Dan saw everyone's opposition and scratched his head in confusion:
"How about giving her another sword?"
Ella inexplicably took another sword from Dan's hand. She found that the pirates below were looking at her with full hostility.
"I...can I go back first?"
After Dan nodded, Ella struggled to carry the shield and sword, pushed aside the pirates and walked towards the stable.
She heard the pirates whispering:
"Can this chick fight on the battlefield?"
"Can she walk wearing armor?"
"Look at her arms, they are thinner than my thumb!"
A red-bearded pirate deliberately stretched out a foot. Ella stumbled hard, and her skirt turned up above her waist. There was a burst of obscene laughter from the pirates, and Ella quickly grabbed her skirt and climbed up.
He picked up the sword and shield and squeezed out of the crowd in despair.
"What's going on in this alchemical lunatic's head!"
After completely leaving behind the group of pirates, Ella shouted unbearably to the sky.
"What's going on with the Shield Girl? She sent me to the battlefield to protect me? Is that to make me die faster?"
The weight of the shield and sword was too heavy for Ella to bear. In front of the stable, she threw these two things to the ground as if to vent her anger. Unfortunately, the ground was scattered with thatch, and the two weapons only made a dull sound after falling to the ground.
, can’t make Ella feel happier.
"Who...who will save me."
Ella suddenly heard a woman crying from the stable. Ella would never mistake that voice - it was Amy's voice.
Ella tiptoed into the stable, and the sight in front of her made blood flow all over her body straight into Ella's brain:
A pirate was pressing down on Amy, making a "snort, snort" sound from his nose like a pig feeding in a pig trough. Amy was struggling hard under him, with all kinds of things hanging on her body.
Not just pieces of cloth from clothes.
The pirate didn't notice Ella's approach, but Amy did. At that moment, Amy suddenly bit her tongue and forcibly stopped her crying.
"Are you honest at last?" The pirate's anger became even louder, and his tearing of clothes became more rough.
Amy pretended to be calm and looked at Ella, forcing an unattractive smile on her painful face.
On the ground beside her, the word "endure" was still lying there quietly.
Ella's ears rang with what Amy said to her before going out:
"Be patient. Don't yell or try to resist. No matter what you see the pirates doing to your Majesty's people, your Majesty must remain calm. No matter how unbearable it is, as long as it does not harm your Majesty's body, your Majesty will
You have to swallow it."
"Even if I die, Your Majesty must endure it. After all, I am just a maid, and Your Majesty is Baselisa."
Ella closed her eyes gently.
She is already a shield maiden, which means that she has become a warrior who goes to the battlefield with the pirates, instead of being a captive at the mercy of others.
But if she resists here, the pirates who already look down on Ella will become hostile to her, and she will definitely receive special attention, and her situation will become worse than that of a prisoner.
She quietly exited the stable.
——Then, she came back holding the sword and shield she had left outside the door.
The sword raised high reflected the clear moonlight. Amy shook her head in horror under the sword. From her perspective, Ella's eyes were darker than the bottomless abyss.
Ella Cornelius Scipio stabbed the pirate in the heart with his sword indifferently.
The pirate let out a groan of pain. However, Ella was not strong enough to penetrate the pirate's body with the sword. The pirate threw his hand and pushed Ella to the ground, and the sword also fell to the ground. Then, the pirate picked up the sword he had put aside.
The ax struck at Ella.
"Aphrodite, please let the man in front of you fall into the confusion of love!"
Just before the ax split Ella's head, Amy chanted magic behind the pirate. The pirate's ax suddenly stopped in the air for a while. In just a few seconds, Amy picked up the fallen
The sword on the ground stabbed it firmly into the pirate's heart.
The pirates who heard the commotion came from nearby. Seeing the body lying on the ground, they picked up weapons and surrounded Ella and Amy. A pirate stepped forward to confirm the identity of the body and shouted: "
It’s Li, go and call his brother!”
"Your Majesty, you just made a very wrong decision."
"No, that was probably the best decision I've made since I became Barcelona."
Ella took the sword from Amy's hand, held it up with difficulty, and covered it in front of the naked Amy.
Amy cried, wiping tears behind Ella.
After a while, Li's brother came. It was the red-bearded pirate who deliberately tripped Ella before. He looked at his dead brother, looked at Amy behind Ella, and then turned his eyes solemnly.
It fell on Ella.
Ella knew she was in danger. But at this time, an inexplicable courage surged in her chest. She slapped her chest crazily with the bloody sword and yelled at the red beard at the top of her lungs.
.
The red-bearded pirate began to take off his brother's armor.
Ella didn't know what he was doing and looked on blankly.
Not long after, the red-bearded pirate took off all his brother's armor. Then, he stacked all the armor in front of Ella. After doing this, he stood up straight and took a few steps back, facing Ella.
He bowed. In front of the dazed Ella, he carried his brother's body on his back and silently walked out of the stable with the other pirates.
