Chapter 9 Ella's Way Home (5)
Ella remembered the robbers who disguised themselves as pirates to rob the village of Brizania. She keenly realized that the mastermind who killed Freavone and the mastermind behind the robbers were probably the same person, and among the nobles.
Some people want to deliberately provoke a war between Almani and the Pirate Kingdom.
No--
Ella remembered the boxes of military supplies that she saw in Stad, and the "caravan" that brought the Duke of Anglia to transport military supplies.
The Almany Federation has long been planning this war.
Aila looked at the group of nobles with expressionless expression. She had made the greatest concessions. If the group of nobles were still unwilling to accept it, she would have to clear out the group of traitors. This is definitely not a good choice when the enemy of the Tianfang Empire has not been dealt with.
"What are you calculating there!"
Duke Otto shouted angrily at the group of merchants.
"This group of pirates attacked our country and occupied our cities. Are you actually planning to do business with them in the corner?"
The group of merchants looked at each other. Someone whispered: "But, this treaty is in our interests..."
Duke Otto suppressed the merchant's voice with a louder voice: "They are pirates! The pirate kingdom is the enemy country! What is the situation when you reach an agreement with the enemy country?"
Duke Otto's words made the merchants shrank their heads and dared not speak. They wanted to make this deal with Ella, but they were even more afraid of being charged with treason.
Seeing this, Ella laughed and said, "Duke Otto, why do you have to say that the Pirate Kingdom is an enemy?"
"We have all started war! Think about the cities that have been robbed by you! Think about the nobles who have been killed by you! We will never reach an agreement with the jackals!
"War starts? Where is the war? Isn't it because you killed the merchants I blessed, so there was a 'border dispute'? This kind of thing happens every day in the pirate kingdom?"
"You..." Duke Otto pointed at Ella with a trembling finger, "The war has been going on to this point, and even a battle of ten thousand people has been fought. You actually said that this is a 'border dispute'?"
"If this is really a war between the Federation of Almany and the Pirate Kingdom," Ella asked in the eyes of Duke Otto, "Why is your consul, the Earl of Ile-de-France, not even a single move? Why can you leave the consul and meet the vassals of the enemy alone?"
This statement has multiple meanings.
"First of all, if the Confederacy of Almany and the Pirate Kingdom were in war, then all agreements should be signed by the consul of Almany and the consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Consul of the Cons
"Secondly, if you think that the war was not the Federation of Almani and the Pirate Kingdom, but the Kingdom of Sweden under the Federation of Almani and the Pirate Kingdom, then all agreements should be signed by your consul, the Earl of France and the King of Sweden. But as mentioned above, your consul did not participate in this conflict."
"Then, this conflict is limited to the Pirate Kingdom and the several vassals of the Almani Federation - no matter what, this can only be considered a border dispute, right?"
The large-scale war is somewhat unreasonable.
——But whether it is "stubborn" depends on whether both parties are willing to accept this characterization.
"Yes...yes!" The merchants reacted, "It's just a border conflict! Neither of the supreme leaders of both sides participated in the conflict! Then how can we reach a reconciliation with the other side be considered treason?"
So Ella smiled and looked at the remaining nobles: "Do you think what I just said?"
The second meaning of Ella's characterization under the conflict is to warn the nobles: Your consuls have not helped you, you are just fighting alone.
The nobles obviously retreated a little, but they all lowered their heads and refused to speak.
Seeing this, Ella added another sentence: "Or, do you think this is a war? If so, then all my previous proposals will be invalidated. The armistice agreement will be signed based on the logic of war - do you understand what this means?"
The pirate kingdom has already gained a great advantage in war. If this situation is taken into account in the armistice agreement, the Almani Federation would have to pay more and sign a treaty that was humiliating.
"Or, do you want to continue the war like this?"
The nobles looked at each other, some nodded and some shook their heads, but no one dared to stand up and express their opinions.
Ella saw this situation and suddenly patted her hands hard:
"Okay, then do it like this: if you want to continue this 'border conflict', stand to the left. If you want to reconcile with the Pirate Kingdom, stand to the right. I will not hurt the innocent. All the next battles will only be directed at the lords who stand on the left."
——The Almany Federation is just a mess.
Ella first used "revenge for Freavone" to find a title for the military operations of the pirate kingdom, and then used "just border conflict" to find legitimate reasons for those who wanted to reconcile with Ella, and finally used semi-threatening methods to further differentiate the people at the meeting.
Under this series of offensives, the nobles and merchants who had finally gathered together stood to Ella's right. Only Duke Otto stood alone in place.
Duke Otto clenched his fists. Freyman killed Freyman. He was the one who instructed Freyman to kill Freyman. He deliberately framed the pirate kingdom, which gathered the nobles and merchants of the Almany Federation under his banner. However, this alliance was easily broken up by Ella in a few words.
He was left alone to endure the "Triumph" staring like a thousand pounds.
"Duke Otto," Ella asked coldly, "You want to fight, do you want to be with?"
Duke Otto felt cold hands and feet.
——He has been preparing for this war for a long time.
But those supplies were all robbed in advance by the "Triumph" men.
——The Hero King has gone to sea, it is obviously the best time to attack the Pirate Kingdom
But he couldn't even win a little maid next to "Triumph".
I can't win. No matter how hard he struggles, he can't beat the "triumphant" in front of him.
