The city of Hamburg had already learned about the attack on Stadder's territory from the merchants who fled back. Since the death of Sieged, the lord of the pirate kingdom who occupied Frizziland, they had not seen pirate invasions in two years.

The merchants who lost their goods naturally sighed, and those merchants who had not had time to set off were also anxious. They sent people to see if the pirates left Stadt every day, but they got one negative news after another. The merchants had to find mercenaries from all over the country in joint ventures, hoping to drive the pirates out of Stadt.

But the pirates who had been robbing and ran away this time, I don’t know what was wrong with them, but they actually took out the catapult cart, crossbow and scorpion crossbow. Before they could even fight, the mercenaries who had temporarily pieced together were scared by the huge rocks falling from the sky. When the official confrontation was made, the mercenaries' mercenaries were even more daunted.

So far, the merchants have not seen a mercenary who has returned alive. Rumors have been leaked in the Hamburg city that the mercenaries have been put on the grill by the pirates and have been eaten.

After waiting anxiously for a few days, the pirates not only did not leave, but even built a camp in Stadt, as if they were going to be stationed for a long time. Now, even the mayor of Hamburg was panicked.

Stad is an important port. Since Stad and Hamburg are connected by rivers, caravans are willing to go through Hamburg to Stad. But if Stad was occupied, the caravans had to give up the rivers and switch to Lübeck or Bremen, and go to sea from other ports. This is undoubtedly a major blow to Hamburg's economy.

The mayor, who was panicked, sent more than a dozen messengers to Otto, the closest Duke of Anglia, asking for help, hoping that this hero who had resisted Sigurd's invasion could help the city of Hamburg expel the pirates. However, for some reason, Otto was reluctant to take action.

In desperation, the mayor could only place his hope on the Count of France, the consul of the Almani Federation. But before the messenger returned, he received another news: a team of 500 pirates was approaching the city of Hamburg.

"Are you sure it's a pirate?" asked the mayor to the messenger. He felt that the pirates should not be so bold to attack Hamburg City directly.

"It's the pirate!" the messenger replied confidently, "Although they were all wearing Toga from the Seven Hills Empire as a disguise, their hair was all blonde, and they were obviously not from the Seven Hills Empire!"

The city gate was closed. Now, the caravans stranded in the city could not even change the route. They were trapped in the city, digging their toes to calculate the losses caused by the inability to trade in the past few days, while cursing the pirates in the pirate kingdom.

When the mayor of Hamburg was almost angry when he saw this group of pirates appearing under the city wearing Toga robes.

"Does these pirates look down on us in their robes? A group of blondes pretending to be the people of the Seven Hills. Are they bullying me before? Shoot me! Shoot them with bows and arrows!"

The bow and arrow fell from the city wall in a mess, and one of them fell right in front of Ella's boots, which scared Ella, who was about to come forward to call the door.

"Gu? Why is this happening? You are already wearing a robe? What should you do? The city gate is closed tightly, do you want to pull the catapult to smash the hole before going into the trade..."

"Your Majesty! That is definitely not a trade anymore!"

Even if Amy didn't say it, Ella knew this very well.

The Almani Federation can only be regarded as barbarians for the Qiqiu Empire, but after all, they occupy the land of the Qiqiu Empire once, and their civilization level is still higher than that of the Pirate Kingdom.

It is not the wooden walls that protect Hamburg City, but the stone walls. Large weapons such as giant crossbows can be seen on the walls. Although Hamburg City itself does not have much military force, it is not the 500 people she brought with her that could easily capture it.

Moreover, this siege is highly likely to be regarded as declaring war on the Almani Federation. If the surrounding lords come to support her, she will bring too few people.

In desperation, Ella had to lead her troops to retreat.

In a luxurious hotel in Hamburg, a wealthy businessman named Valhalla was lying on a velvet bed, eating grapes one by one. On the table next to him were a few silver plates filled with expensive pepper, cloves, cinnamon and other spices.

A knock came from outside. After receiving a positive answer, a mercenary-like man pushed the door and walked in, saying in front of Valhalla: "The pirates have retreated."

"So fast? I thought I could have a little more leisure here." Valhalla stretched his waist long and stood up, "Forget it, in order not to make our Duke Otto anxious, we will set out tomorrow morning."

In fact, Valhalla was the quartermaster of Duke Otto. Duke Otto was accustomed to secretly preparing for war, and then launched a lightning raid when the enemy was not prepared. Therefore, Valhalla was a quartermaster of pretending to be a wealthy businessman.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Is there any problem?"

"I think you can set out tonight? After all, Duke Otto often says that fighter jets are fleeting..."

"Just be like a pirate who surrounded the city for an extra night? Don't be brainwashed by Duke Otto. What can happen in one night?"

Valhalla replied lazily. It feels much better to be a wealthy businessman than to be a military officer. He really doesn't want to return to the battlefield again.

It was not until noon the next day that Valhalla escorted the first batch of supplies and walked out of Hamburg slowly. Although Ella's troops had retreated, most of the merchants were still waiting and watching for safety reasons. Valhallam was the first to leave the city.

"Look, what else can Duke Otto say?"

The caravan of Valhalla had nearly three hundred people, including mercenaries, coachmen, and servants... It seemed that they were no different from other caravans. But in fact, each of these three hundred people was disguised by elite soldiers under Duke Otto. Therefore, they dared to act before all other caravans.

Valhalla sat on a pony, shaking her head and humming.

After a long journey, someone brought a whole roast chicken to Valhalla. Although it was already cold, the chicken breast was cut open and the spices and cheese filled it immediately emitted an attractive fragrance.

Valhalla swallowed, teared off a chicken leg, and was about to enjoy it, but the horse under her seat suddenly leaned forward and fell into a trap with the horse and the people.
