Long before this rally, Otto was preparing for the necessary supplies and weapons for the war.

In order not to be noticed by the pirate kingdom in advance, these materials were disguised as trade goods, first piled up in Hamburg, then mixed in other goods to Stadt, and loaded on foreign trade merchant ships.

In the eyes of others, these merchant ships were just going out to trade with the Tianfang Empire. But after Aoto started his army, these merchant ships would directly turn into supply ships and sail into the pirate kingdom with him.

He thought this matter was going on very secretly, but he would suddenly happen like pirates!

The messenger who sent the message lifted the curtain of the carriage and whispered in Otto's ear: "Sir, should we snatch these goods back?"

Otto stuffed the impulse in his heart back hard. He was a calm person. Although he could not help but be impulsive, he could always handle it calmly when he made a decision. He felt that he was much better than the neurotic Count of France.

"No. When we lead the troops to rush over, the pirates may have already run away."

This is a common tactic used by the pirate kingdom. They often plunder on the coast and then board the ship to escape before the enemy's army arrives. The pirates have the world-leading shipbuilding technology, and as long as they board the ships of other countries will not catch up with them. Through this tactic, the pirates can use a team of just a few dozen people to plunder the huge empire. The lords along the coast of the Almani Federation suffered even more.

"But sir, our troops lack equipment, wouldn't the next action be..."

"There are still many inventory in Hamburg City. Now that things have come, let them transport it directly here by land."

Hamburg is an inland city. A river passes through it, passes through Stad and flows to the sea. Although the pirates have used the advantages of small boats to enter the river to rob, since Otto built a fortress on this river, the pirates' ships have been unable to enter.

As for going to Hamburg by land, it is absolutely impossible for pirates. In order to escape in time, they will not be too far from the coast. Even when Sigurd invaded, his troops did not dare to bypass Otto's territory and run directly to Hamburg, because Otto would cut off his retreat.

So this route is absolutely safe.

"I understand, sir, I'll do it now."

The messenger gently lowered the curtains of the car window and hid in the dark alley.

Meanwhile, Stadt.

"Why is no one coming at all!"

Ella's complaints were getting louder and louder.

The camp has been built for several days, and it has even been reinforced and expanded several times. The indigenous people in Stadt have become familiar with Ella and the others, and come to buy some necessities for daily life from time to time. But the transaction volume is too small. If we consider the daily consumption of Ella's thousands of soldiers, Ella has been losing money all the time.

"Why! Even if we are treated as pirates, even if those lords want to temporarily sign troops from all over the country, they should arrive! Why can't they even see a shadow!"

Amy looked at all this and muttered in a low voice: "It's because His Majesty scared all the merchants away... He brought thousands of people to do 'trade', and anyone else would be afraid."

"There are not many thousands of people, right? I am Barcelona of the Seven Hill Empire, the Swedish king of the Hero Kingdom? We are in the Almani Federation? I would be very dangerous if I don't bring so many people, right? The emperor of the Western Qiqi Hill Empire was deposed because he believed the Almani people too much!"

"Well... it seems to make some sense."

"Run! Run! Let them run! Stadt is just a transit place, and they can run without any scruples. How about Hamburg City? It is the base camp of many chambers of commerce! I will immediately lead my troops to Hamburg City to see if they can continue running!"

"Your Majesty! Wait a minute!" Amy hurriedly grabbed Ella who was about to rush out of the cabin and gave an order. "If His Majesty did this, the Hamburg City would definitely be regarded as a pirate again! And as His Majesty, if he went deep into the Almany Federation, he would be mistaken for the pirate kingdom to start a war against the Almany Federation!"

"Don't worry, I know it. In order not to be misunderstood by others, I have figured out a way to get the soldiers ready! Amy, come with me! I think they should have changed their clothes!"

Amy followed Ella out of the deck with suspicion. What appeared before her was a group of pirates in toga robes.

The Toga robe is the most traditional costume of the Seven Hill Empire and is also the formal costume of citizens of the Seven Hill Empire. In the Seven Hill Empire, those who do not wear Toga robe will be driven out of the racecourse, the Colosseum, or even the square of the assembly. Depriving a person of the power to wear Toga is regarded as a severe punishment measure.

Depending on the identity, the Toga robe will be decorated with different borders. The most common Toga is just a simple white wool fabric, while the Toga worn by the emperors of the Seven Hills Empire is embroidered with gold edges. The Toga worn by this group of pirates now is white, but with some borders, it can barely be regarded as a high-end product.

"The soldiers of the Seven Hills Empire never wear Toga! So Toga symbolizes peace! Amy, look, so no one will be afraid of us!"

"Your Majesty..." Amy pointed at the pirates, his hands trembling, "How many people have you asked to wear Toga?"

"One thousand people! All the soldiers on the ship have already put on Toga! Now they look like a group of civilized Qiqiu Empire people!"

"Why don't your Majesty use ordinary tufts? You need to use a edging? All of them are our goods! One piece can be sold at least ten fins, and one thousand pieces is ten thousand fins! In total, it is fifty nomisma! His Majesty spent fifty nomisma just after he changed his hand?"

"Gu... It doesn't matter, you can lose money first and then earn money! Wearing such luxurious clothes, you will never be regarded as a pirate anymore!"

Amy couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Okay, I had suspected that the traditional clothing of the Seven Hills Empire would be sold in the Almany Federation... As long as you can sell these 300,000 pounds of goods, fifty Nomisma is nothing."

"Is that right? That's it!" Ella shouted to the soldiers with full enthusiasm: "Listen, leave half here to watch the boat, and the other half goes to Hamburg to discuss business!"

"What about the goods?" asked a soldier. They had no cars and horses, so there would be some problems with transporting the goods to Hamburg.

"Well... just save some money, don't rent a car and horse. Stay on the boat, just bring a few samples this time!"

"Abide by the order!"

In this way, very few goods needed to be transported. The soldiers who were empty-handed picked up their axes one after another.

It was difficult for Toga to tie the axe around its waist, so the soldiers held the big axes on their shoulders. Some soldiers took off their clothes inside and exposed most of their shoulders. In this way, the group of soldiers wearing Toga, half-armed and carrying the big axes walked down the "Flying Zealand" in a swagger.
