Chapter 5 Ella is doing math problems (7)
Graheide did not refuse Amy's request. He sat down at the table and glanced at the chess piece: "Banchess?"
Banches is a special chess game in the pirate kingdom. One side of the chess piece is placed scattered on the four sides of the board, playing the attacking side, while the other side of the chess piece is placed in the middle of the board, playing the besieged side. The attacking side needs to find a way to eat the king of the besieged side, while the besieged side has to work hard to escape their king to the edge of the board.
Amy plays the attacking side, while Grahaide plays the besieged side.
"Who was the one who just got put in a sack?"
"Earl of Knut."
Amy gave up one son, and Graheide followed him to answer one son.
"Knut? That was a brave warrior. He was loyal to the Swedish king, but-"
Grahead stopped and didn't say anything. Amy smiled and said without caring about it, "But he also hates me very much, do he?"
Amy was so straightforward that Grahamed was a little surprised.
"Yes... Although you won a victory with those lords, your performance has made many people hate you, and even think you want to seize power. The lords are now divided into two factions: those who appreciate your force and support you, and those who are loyal to the Swedish king and oppose you, the latter accounting for the vast majority."
"There are still people who are loyal to me? After His Majesty comes back, he will ask her to think carefully about how to deal with this group of people."
"Wait!" Graheide interrupted Amy in surprise, "If I understand correctly, what you meant just to liquidate those who are loyal to you?"
Amy smiled bitterly: "Of course. They are His Majesty's vassals, not mine. If they are loyal, they are completely disloyal."
From the beginning, Amy had no intention of seizing power.
On the chessboard, Amy launched a fierce attack and gained the upper hand. Graheide did not expect that this maid was so powerful in playing chess, and she couldn't help but wipe her sweat:
"Do you often play chess with the King of Sweden?"
"No, the King of Sweden doesn't have that much time. Most of the time she is studying alchemy and observing the stars at night. However, when I am free, I will study board chess. But no matter how I study, I have not beaten His Majesty once. Whenever this happens, I have to sigh: She is really a genius."
Amy ate Grahyide's chess piece one by one, gradually surrounding his king.
"All the dangers that Your Majesty may encounter are based on her being the 'king'. In other words, as long as she is no longer the 'king', there is no need for others to harm her."
Amy pointed to the precarious King of Grahyde and showed his chess piece:
"Look, you can't attack me, right? After all, in terms of rules, my 'king' did not exist from the beginning."
Graheide realized something: "So that's it. As long as the Almani Federation believes that the Swedish king has lost power, even if they find the Swedish king, there is no reason to hurt her."
While talking, Amy ate another piece of Grahyide's pawn. At this time, she could win easily, but she let go of Grahyide's king and continued to eat his remaining pieces.
In Graheide's surprised gaze, Amy continued, "Not just that. I will also let the nobles of the Almany Federation suffer in my name. I will make them grit their teeth when they mention my name, so that they can't help stripping my skin, eating my flesh, and taking off my tendons."
"Why?"
"Because the more they hate me, the safer His Majesty will be. I am the one who seizes power, and His Majesty is my natural enemy. In the end, they may even take the initiative to send His Majesty back to destroy me, and this is my purpose - whether you obey me or disobey me, His Majesty is safe."
"How did you think of this strange method?"
With the last soldier being eaten by Amy, Grahyide had no choice but to surrender.
"I'm not as smart as Your Majesty. When I encounter difficulties, I can only think of this way to humiliate myself."
"Can you really bear it?"
"In order to get your Majesty back, my reputation is nothing."
Amy put the chess pieces one by one again. This time, she became the defensive side.
Graheide stared at the chessboard and thought for a while, and took a step forward.
"Since you have such a plan, why don't you explain it to those lords?"
"I have no trust in the performance abilities of those pirates. If the people of the Almani Federation believe that I have seized His Majesty's authority, I can only do this. Besides, if I don't do these things, I am still just an ordinary maid, so what ability do I have to make those lords obedient?"
"You will be very dangerous in this way." Graheide sighed, "Forget it, this is your choice. But before thinking about things that have lasted for so long, let's think about the problems in front of you first."
Graheide began to launch a fierce attack on Amy's king.
"Since you have spread the news of the King of Sweden's disappearance, I think someone will soon take military action against us."
"This is a necessary battle. For my purpose, I will engrave my infamy into their deepest fears."
Amy ate one of Grahyide's sons with his backhand.
"Send a messenger and tell the lords of the Almani Federation this way: If our army does not surrender nearly a hundred meters, no matter how noble the bloodline or the high title, they will be beheaded, no exception!"
...
...
For a month in succession, people in the Almany Federation could hear the news of new land falling every few days.
And now, another new castle has fallen.
Surrounded by the pirates, the leading nobles threw away their weapons, immediately raised their hands, and said seriously: "Stop! Stop! I surrender! I am a nobleman, and I give me the honor of the noble!"
Seeing this, a pirate reached out and wanted to pull him off his horse. Unexpectedly, the nobleman who had just raised his hand to surrender miserably saw the pirate, his face suddenly changed, he opened his hand and cursed: "Don't touch me! Didn't you hear it clearly? I am a nobleman! How can you surrender to your civilians? Let your lord come to see me!"
Seeing this, the pirates became turbulent. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards around the noble raised their weapons again. A fight was about to break out.
A girl's voice suddenly came clearly from a distance: "Which one is a noble?"
Hearing the sound, the pirates suddenly calmed down and dispersed to the sides of the Corps. Amy rode Fenriel and walked from a distance.
The nobleman carefully observed Amy. Fenriel, who was sitting down, was majestic and courageous, but her every move was telling others: she was just a civilian.
"Are you the commander of this squad? You are very lucky. I am the Count of Brunswick. If you catch me, your lord will definitely give you a lot of rewards." The nobleman said calmly, "But you are not qualified to accept my surrender. Come and invite your lords over."
Amy shook her head.
