Chapter 21: King of Heroes VS King of Sweden (2)
The shocking news that followed made Amy feel her mind blank. Under such a major change, she had no idea. In the end, she could only ask blankly:
"Then your majesty...what should we do next? Go back to Sweden to command the battle?"
"Return?" Ella thought for a while, then shook her head decisively, "No, this is the worst. Return to Sweden. Even if I can stabilize the situation on the front line, things will turn into a total war with the Allemani Federation. We cannot go to a full-scale war with the Allemani Federation, otherwise, even if we win, the only one who benefits the Tianfang Empire."
"Then... what else can we do?"
After thinking for a while, Ella asked the messenger:
"You said the Earl of Ile-de-France was arrested and imprisoned, so is he still alive?"
"Living? It should still be alive." The messenger replied, "I heard that the Duke of Aquitaine was preparing to conduct a public trial of the Black Death. It would be very troublesome to prepare for a public trial. Until then, he should be kept in prison."
"That is to say we still have time! As long as the Count of Ile-de-France is not dead, we will have a turnaround!"
"Turn around?" Amy asked, "Is Your Majesty going to secretly rescue the Earl of Ile-de-France?"
"Save is to be saved, but not secretly. What I need is an Earl of France who can represent the Federation of Almany, not a prisoner who has lost his power."
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"Amy, our current location is near Paris." Ella said, "Instead of returning to Sweden to command the war... why don't we directly occupy the capital of the Federation of Almany and re-support the Count of Ile-de-France to take over?"
"Enter Paris directly?" Amy took a breath, "Your Majesty, if you do this, you may directly be with the apostles..."
Ella was silent for a while, then she resolutely said:
"Amy, the war has begun... It will be a matter of time before the showdown with the apostles. It was decided that our current policy is to occupy Paris!"
Sivadon used the magic circle to report to Movaráni on the same day. Movaráni and Osor and his group hired by Ella to attack Paris, this group of professional mercenaries would be the backbone. The gathering of rioters is also essential, but at present, they live in the village, with men, women, young and old living together and have no combat power at all. Since the Black Death has been controlled, Ella has let the elderly, young, women, children and newly recovered patients return to the village, leaving only young and strong men in the barracks.
A group of patients who died of the Black Death were placed in a large dug pit to burn. Near the burning site, the leader of the group of chaotic troops, Jiber, was standing on a temporary platform, and angrily mobilized pre-warly:
"Did you see these corpses? They are all poor people who died because of the Black Death! There are your brothers, sisters, parents, and children in this! I have lived for so many years and have never encountered such a terrible disaster! Who is the one who brings all this? I believe many of you already know, yes, it's the Duke of Aquitaine!"
"He made the Black Death spread in our village just to blame the Earl of France! He also persuaded us to fight against the Earl of France, regardless of this, which would make the Black Death spread more rapidly! He didn't care about our lives or death at all. In his eyes, we were just livestock, pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep that could be slaughtered and sold at will when needed!"
"He sent people everywhere to slander the Count of Ile-de-France to use witchcraft, but he himself was using taboo and evil spells that brought the dead back to life! He was the real wizard!"
"Then, now, this evil wizard has occupied the capital of our Federation by using witchcraft. In a few days, he will become the new consul, and then, everyone in the entire Federation will become the lambs he can slaughter!"
"Can you stand being able to control our Federation by such a wizard? What do you want to do?"
The peasants were angry, and they raised their pitchforks and hoes high, shouting in unison: "Destroy the Duke of Aquitaine! Destroy the Duke of Aquitaine!"
"How can we destroy the Duke of Aquitaine?"
"I'm against him! Invade Paris! Occupy the Palace of Versailles!"
"No, this is not a rebellion - because the Count of Ile-de-France, our true consul, is being imprisoned in prison by the evil wizard!" Jiber corrected, "As long as we take back Paris, we are the rebels, and he will definitely give us a reward!"
The farmers cheered.
"I didn't expect that this Gibel spoke in one set of ways." Ella nodded with satisfaction behind the scenes, "Are you worthy of being the leader of the rebel army?"
Amy was pondering on the side.
"Your Majesty, I just thought of a question. The Duke of Aquitaine occupied the Palace of Versailles, and the Earl of France was arrested. What about Alfred and Hestein? Where are they now?"
"Allmany's Federation is so chaotic. Afu should have returned to Britain under Meli's protection, right? As for Hestein... I care where he is! I guess he is robbing other people's sheep from somewhere to eat! He is not here, but I am purified!"
"I was thinking that if Hestein could return to the Pirate Kingdom to command the war on the front line, then the situation would be much better."
"Then he shouldn't come with me at that time! I'm going to diplomacy, and he's a guy who only has the only fighting, what else can he do besides making trouble? Amy, tell you, Hestein is simply unreliable! At first, if he hadn't come to attack the rear in a crazy way, the Aztlan army would have been defeated by my arrangement! How could there be so many things behind!"
"Your Majesty, how much do you hate Hestein..."
"The more mice hate cats, I hate Hestein!"
"So your majesty, you are a mouse, Hestein is the cat that caught you..."
“Gu——!”
Ella blushed with anger.
A burst of rapid footsteps came at this moment—
"Uncle Gibel! Uncle Gibel!"
The source of the sound was a child. He pushed the farmers in a queue and ran to the stage with sobs, hugged Giber's feet and started crying.
Jiber recognized that this was the villagers who returned to the village first according to Ella's order. This child was the same village as him, and the last group to leave.
"What's wrong?" he asked gently, "Why are you back alone? Where are your grandparents?"
