The battle was stalemate. The day passed, and there was no progress in the attack on Lolan.

Late at night, more than 20 small leaders gathered in the camp and started arguing about attacking Lolan. No one could convince others to act according to his plan. In the end, they even fucked chairs and started to fight each other.

All kinds of strange things flew past Ella's eyes: bones, soup pots, barbecue racks, and even the booster that had just been dug out.

Ella held her forehead and sat under these flying things, her brows twisted.

She knew that while these people were making noise, Sigurd's army was constantly approaching Zeland.

It seemed that Sieged's messenger appeared in front of her: he threw the bloody head in his hand on the ground, and his head rolled a few times on the ground, revealing Amy's face.

An egg hit her forehead at this time, and the egg whites and egg yolks flowed down her nose.

Ella took out her handkerchief and slowly wiped her face clean. Then, she felt a sense of courage from somewhere. Facing these strong men, she waved her hand and threw a plate to the ground:

"Enough! Stop it all!"

The little leaders calmed down and looked at Ella together. As a shield girl with great achievements, Ella still has some deterrence.

"The situation has been expanded by you! You are also the ones who want to fight Sigalde! But now you can't even take a single Lorran! Is there Sigalde there now? Is there any magician at the level of the elf? Is it? What if Sigalde really comes? Have you ever thought about it?"

Ella's questioning made the little leaders speechless for a while.

"Who wants to fight Sigalde now? Who has the courage to stand up? Stand out! Everyone obeys your command! Who dares to stand up? Who dares!"

No one dared to stand up.

"Okay, then go back to taking Lolan - you launched a charge without authorization, you are amazing! You are so powerful, then come up with a plan that can take Lolan? Take it out! Everyone obeys your command! But if the plan fails, then you will come back to see me with your head, and then the rest will hold their heads together to give it to Sigald! Who dares to stand up? Who dares!"

Still no one dared to stand up.

"No one dares, right?"

Ella swept across the people present with a sharp look, and everyone she saw lowered her head. She had been Barcelona for so many years and was able to do such things. However, when Constantinier, she was just a little bird that was overturned. No matter how strict she was, no one would really care about her. But among these pirates, she had accumulated a certain prestige.

She took a long breath and said:

"Since you don't dare, then I'll have to stand up."

In full view of everyone, Ella took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the middle of the crowd.

"If I can't conquer Loren, I will take all the blame on myself, tie myself up, go see Siggard, and ask him to forgive you. But in contrast, before Hestein comes back, everyone must obey my orders-I mean, truly obey my orders! If I don't move, I won't move; if I don't say retreat, I won't step back; if I say I can't step back, I won't step back; if I say I can't step back, I won't step back! Whoever steps wrong will poke himself to death quickly! Do you understand?"

No one makes a sound.

Ella looked around everyone present again.

"I have a complete plan. As long as you follow my command, you will definitely be able to take Lorrain before Siggard arrives! Just like when he was in Brísis!"

After a suffocating silence, one person finally stood up and bowed to Ella. Influenced by him, people rose up one after another to imitate his movements. Finally, everyone stood up and expressed their willingness to obey Ella's instructions.

Ella said nothing and turned around and left the camp.

"Your Majesty...you really have a way to take Loran?"

Amy, who followed him, asked fearfully.

"No."

What I spit out of Ella's mouth was Amy's unexpected words.

"I have never fought a war. Although my father taught me some basic knowledge, every plan I proposed was rejected by my father - but even so, I could tell how unreliable the pirates' plans were. In order to verify my ideas, I tried it."

"Test? Intimidate?"

"I was so scared that they rushed up and beat me... But what scared me even more was that none of them dared to stand up. My idea was correct... They really couldn't take Lorraine. Thinking of the report I heard in Constantine, the common tactic used by these pirates was to run away after they were robbed... They couldn't count on them at all."

"But Your Majesty clearly has no choice, why should you stand up?"

"If I don't stand up, the army will soon collapse... My father taught me that the so-called leader is to gather people's hearts at this time. Even if it fails in the end, it is better than the one that makes people feel distracted."

Ella's eyes were burning with ambition, just as she told Amy that she was going to be Augusta the night in the Guards camp.

His father's words remain in the second half:

——And if you can win, then you will take the first step to becoming king.

People in Zeland began to make siege equipment according to the drawings drawn by Ella.

There are still six days left before Sigurd's arrival.

"Your Majesty, I just went to see the construction site... They have no experience in manufacturing trench machines at all, and the progress is very slow. At the current speed, the first batch will be completed in about a month..."

"Then we will draw three times more staff from the front line. The people in Loran don't know what we are doing and will not launch a rash counterattack."

"Even so, it will take at least half a month... Your Majesty, we really don't have that much time."

Even if Amy didn't say this, Ella understood the situation in her heart. But if she really had to rely on the ladder to attack Luo Lan, based on the battle situation on the first day, the hope would be slim.

What to do? Send more people to rush to catapult the stone car?

——That is meaningless.

If it takes ten people to make a house for one hundred days and twenty people to make the same house for fifty days, then will the house be completed in one day by increasing the number of people to one thousand people? Will the house be completed in one hour? Will the house be completed in one minute? Can the house be completed in one minute?

After half a month, this speed is already at its limit. No matter how many people are sent, it cannot speed up. Unless there is magic that can override time, such magic will not exist in any country's magic system.

Is there any other way? A way to double the speed of creating a catapult?

Ella sat down and began to search for related books in the carpet-like floor of the Wang Family Library.

In the engineering category...not found.

In the architecture category...not found.

In the historical category... it still cannot be found.

...

...

Isn’t this method not present in the crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years?

Among the dusty pile of books, a book suddenly fell in front of her. The words on the book were square and neat, and they were some kind of hieroglyphs. It was obviously the "giant dragon" that came from the east of the Tianfang Empire.

A bold idea emerged in Ella's mind.

Amy saw some clues from Ella's change in expression: "Your Majesty, have you found a powerful magic that can defeat Sigald?"

"It was found, but not magic - it was the 'art of war'."

Ella found Gan.

"Have anyone ever painted a nearby map here?"

The Wang Family Library contains various maps drawn by people from all over the world, era, and various people. However, Zeland is located in the northernmost part of the mainland and the most remote Scandinavian Peninsula. The Seven Hills Empire’s understanding of this is blank.

"Does Sister Shield want to be from Zeland? Or Lorrain?"

"No, the scope should be larger - it's better to cover the entire North Sea."

"In this case, use the map I have drawn. In order to hunt the legendary white bear, I have been to various parts of the North Sea."

Gan ran out and soon ran back with a large roll of drawings. As soon as Ella spread out these maps, she was instantly hit. In this era, the so-called maps basically only represent the relative position between two points. Maps that can calibrate the distance between two points are already very precise. However, the maps that Gan carried not only marked the location and distance, but also marked the terrain, roads, forks, rivers, and bridges...

Even Amy could see the unusualness of this map. She pressed Gan's shoulder and asked tremblingly, "Gan... how did you... draw this kind of map?"

"I traveled all over the world to hunt the legendary white bear, and by the way I drew the places I passed by. How about it, it's not bad, right?"

Hermes, the "God of Traveler", has his protection in Gan.

Ella touched Gan's head and said in a trembling voice:

"Gan...you are really...a genius."

After that, Ella began to stare at the map without saying a word.

The Wang Family Library's books were flipping through her head. She searched all the archives about war: tactics, strategies, war history...
