Chapter 2 Snake Eyes (6)
Siggard led his fleet to rescue Lorran.
Along the way, he encountered a small fleet sent by Ella several times. Every time, Ella's fleet showed its head from afar and then flew away.
Siggard did not ask someone to pursue them.
"She wants to continue to lure us away so that she can win time to siege Luo Lan! Don't be fooled!"
During this period, he received another letter from Loran. In the pirate kingdom, there were very few people who could read and write, so Sieged could directly recognize the handwriting on it - it was written by his close confidants who remained in Loran. It was one of his most loyal subordinates, and even if the city of Loran was broken, he would never turn against him.
This further increased his confidence in his judgment - Ella was besieging Loran with all her might.
Inexplicably, he was led by the nose and slipped a long way from Seford to Uprun. This shame made him extremely angry and his entire army extremely angry. On the sea few nights, he and his entire army were having the same dream - they boarded Lora, attacked Lora's defenders forward and backward, and wiped out all of Ella's troops under the city of Lora!
They got off the boat and rushed towards Luo Lan's city wall without waiting for a rest. They just wanted to have a fight and vent their anger!
However, Lorrain is already an empty city.
Siggard looked at the gap in the walls of Lorraine for a long time - it was obviously not caused by magic, but by artificial machinery.
He murmured to himself: "Can that Scipio not magic?"
——This kind of information only made him even more angry. He was actually led by a waste who could not do magic for more than half a month!
Lorraine is empty, no one, and no food is left; bubbles are bubbling in the well water, which means it is poisonous.
——Typical scorched earth strategy. Ella wanted to make his Sigurd's troops die of thirst and starve to death here.
Fortunately, Sieged's troops found a bunch of food in the city that had not been transported away. Sieged took the opportunity to inspire the entire army:
"Look, it's right not to pursue those boats. We have successfully won time to make the enemy flee in a hurry before they can transport all their food away! The enemy's use of such a vulgar and shameless approach just shows that they dare not be enemies head-on with us!"
After verifying that the food left behind was not poisoned, Sieged and his troops had a full meal. As for the water, they could only continue to consume the things they brought themselves.
Late at night, they dragged their tired bodies into the empty house, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, a series of fire flashed outside the city of Lolan. Ella and her army appeared.
——"Sigard, are you full?"
"You must have scolded me for a day, right? You must have scolded me for being a coward who only knows how to escape, right?"
"And, seeing the small fleet I sent out, seeing the emergency report from Lolan, and seeing the food I stayed in the city, you must feel that I had just captured Lolan and fled in a hurry before I could make enough preparations, right?"
"You are wrong, all wrong. That anxious letter was just intercepted when I was fishing. I have been waiting for you in Lorain for a long time."
"Who loses judgment due to anger and arrogance, can you think of the date of the final battle I scheduled to be today?"
Ella's eyes became sharper than ever before.
"Let the fire on the bow and arrow, replace the catapult with a fire bomb - shoot it into Loram."
Too underestimating the enemy made Sigurd's army fail to notice the fatal trap - fire-attracting objects were placed on the tops of all the houses of Lorra, and even the wooden walls wrapped around Lorra were quietly coated with oil in some places.
The fire ignited. The troops behind Ella made wild roars. Ella took a sword from Amy's hand and pointed forward with great courage. Her army rushed towards Loran like a beast released from a cage. They held the torches and threw them all the way to the roof. The blazing fire swept across Loran in the blink of an eye.
When it comes to the willingness to fight, the same is true for the barbarians under Ella!
The sudden fire and the enemy army suddenly fell into chaos. A few of them reacted and organized to pick up weapons, and at the same time felt a burst of pain in their stomachs.
They were not mistaken, and the food Ella left behind was really not poisonous.
——But, I will have diarrhea after eating
Sieged's troops were pulled out by Ella.
But Ella's troops are in the limelight!
"Come on, Siggard!" Ella shouted in her heart, "I have done my best to capture you, the beast. If you still have the strength to resist, then come on! Let me tell me I am just a mediocre person, let me tell me I am not qualified to be king - if you can do it, come on!"
As an elf-level magician, neither the fire nor the troops robbed him. Under the fire, Sigurd covered his stomach with one hand and swung the axe with the other hand to rush out the flames. His hair had been charred by the fire, and his clothes were also broken, but he was still full of vitality!
A square formation of hundreds of people forced him in front of him. Sigged "Haki", gasped and dragged his saliva, but the fearful blue eyes penetrated the crowd and pointed straight in the direction where Ella was!
The troops around Ella were scattered and completely in a form.
Ella noticed Sieged's gaze and said with a smile:
"Ah, it's very chaotic, right? I really don't know how to put them in a decent formation.
Sieged focused her eyes on Ella again, her body was extremely slender and did not look like a warrior at all.
"Ah, are you looking at me? I am indeed not a soldier. I was rushed upside down by a sheep a few days ago."
——Is this the one who is about to defeat his "snake-eyed" Sieged?
Sigude suddenly felt an inexplicable irony.
"We are the ones who cause the dispute, so I'll give you a chance."
Ella cleared her throat, rode her horse forward a few steps, and stopped at a distance from Sigurd.
"Sigard-- Put down your weapons, or die here."
"Why did I lose to you? How could I lose to you? No matter who I lose to, I won't lose to you!"
Just like all the beasts in desperate situations, Sieged let out a shrill howl, then picked up a big axe and rushed into the square formation blocking the front. Black smoke continued to spread out from his nose, pushing all the enemies he encountered into eternal sleep. And those who were still struggling to support became the dead souls under his big axe.
No one could trap this beast, and in the blink of an eye, the phalanx of hundreds of people blocking him collapsed!
The black fog spread towards the place where Ella was. That was Sigurd's challenge to Ella - come up! If you don't come up and kill me immediately, then sleep forever in the black fog!
But soon, a rain of arrows tilted down, and in the blink of an eye, Sieged was hit by seven or eight arrows.
If you wait for the effect of the black fog, Sigurd will die first.
Ella used her sword to pat a wooden monument that had been standing beside her.
"Sigard, can you see the words on it clearly?"
"Ah, by the way, I forgot that you are illiterate. Then I will read it to you, the words engraved on it are-"
After deliberately pausing, Ella showed a sarcastic smile:
“It is: ‘Sigard died here’.”
Sigurd took a long breath, cut off the exposed arrow feathers with an axe, then grabbed the axe and rushed towards Ella and the army behind her!
He fell into the pit when he was about to touch Ella. Under the pit, there were countless sharpened wood thorns.
The wooden monument was a mark Ella used to make for the trap.
But Sieged was still yelling, roaring, and cursing constantly, swearing to cut the woman who defiled the war into pieces!
Thick black mist overflowed from the pit and spread around. Many people fell down after encountering the black mist - there were Ella's people and Sigald's own troops.
He wants to put everyone on the entire battlefield into a deep sleep!
Ella waved her hand with a calm face.
The catapult cart that had already corrected its position in advance threw a huge rock. It failed to hit once, but failed twice, and finally fell into the trap for the third time.
The black fog disappeared, and Sigurd no longer made any sound. The whole world became quiet. On the battlefield full of corpses, some unknown wild flowers bloomed quietly.
——The flowers blooming in awe, what do you see in your eyes?
——Are you wondering why people just can’t forgive each other?
The darkness of the night makes everything in the world blend into one.
The flowers swayed gently in front of Ella's eyes, without saying a word.
"Your Majesty... are you crying?"
"I... cried?"
Hearing Amy's words, Ella wiped her eyes, wet, and it turned out to be tears.
"Amy...Is what I did right?"
"I don't know, Your Majesty, I'm stupid and can't figure out the right or wrong of war."
Amy carefully helped Ella down from her horse, and then hugged her.
"But I know that His Majesty is slowly becoming a qualified leader."
"Loran is gone... I burned it. I burned it all. I burned it all. It was just a hunting conflict at the beginning, but it was us who expanded the situation, but in the end it was all for the people of Luolan to bear it."
As she spoke, Ella finally couldn't bear it and started crying loudly in Amy's arms!
"Amy, I'm guilty."
"Your Majesty, I forgive you."
Amy's hand helped Ella up strongly.
"Okay, don't cry, look, people are gathering with His Majesty."
The little leaders of Hestein's army have returned from the battlefield one after another. They formed a circle around Ella.
Behind them was a force of thousands of people.
Ella wiped away her tears and raised her head.
——At that moment, the people around her rushed up, lifted her up, and then threw her into the sky with cheers!.
Everyone, throughout the night, was shouting Ella's name.
Chapter completed!
