Enal was the most prestigious of the priests. His eyes were always narrowed into slits, mixed with the wrinkles on his face. His back was hunched, his feet were also flawed, and he had to rely on a crutch to walk. After hearing Ella's words, Enal spoke out the most angry curse in his life: "Are you asking us to go to the battlefield with our swords?"

"As former priests, you know some magic, right?" Ella asked. "Many soldiers who do not know magic can go to the battlefield, why can't you?"

"We are priests, people who serve God! We are not soldiers! We can't fight!"

"Not a soldier?" Ella shook her head, then pointed her hand at a soldier who was coming from the left who was being told by the signs: "Tell everyone, what is your job before coming here?"

The soldier replied in a low voice: "King of Sweden, I... am a blacksmith."

Ella pointed at a soldier next to him again: "What is your job?"

"King of Sweden, I am a hunter."

"What's your job behind the one?"

"I'm a fisherman!"

...

Ella turned her eyes back to the priests, spread her hands, and everything was silent.

Elner's vision seemed to strip Ella alive: "Do you really want us priests to go to the battlefield?"

"You can find companions in my army--if they are willing to count their achievements on your head."

Enal glared at Ella and walked out of the crowd with the priests.

...

...

It was late at night, and many bonfires were lit in the barracks. The priests gathered around one of the bonfires to keep warm. Under Ella's arrangement, these priests lived in the most remote corner of the barracks, and no soldiers would disturb their negotiations.

"Look, this is the food sent to us by the King of Sweden!"

A priest came over with a small cart. The hungry priests surrounded him and saw that the cart was filled with honey wine, smoked fish, bacon, fresh meat, vegetables and cheese, and even expensive oil.

"There are still here!" Another priest pushed a small cart and contained several fur coats for warming the priests. "The King of Sweden sent us these things in front of the entire army, for fear that we would be hungry and freezing!"

The priests made a sound of surprise. They all thought Ella wanted to embarrass them and kept cursing her by the fire. But looking at her treatment now, Ella seemed to have the idea of ​​believing in the Asa tribe.

A priest took a fur coat, touched it, and then said to Enal, who was still sitting next to the fire with joy, "Enal, come and see, this is the best fur! Maybe we have really misunderstood the King of Sweden..."

"A full meal before going to the execution ground makes you so happy?"

The priests looked at Elnar in shock together.

Enal angrily knocked the crutch on the ground: "These supplies are not for us, but for the soldiers. She just doesn't want to leave a message for others. That woman is preparing to let us die on the battlefield!"

"No?" the priests were stunned. "She is so bold?"

“How many people are willing to help us?”

"We searched all over the army today... about one hundred people."

"Then why didn't she dare?" Enal knocked the crutch to the ground again, "That woman is finally going to the sea to rob, but she is happy to them! Defeat the 'Triumph' of the 'unbearer'. As long as the ban on robbery is no longer the influence of the heroic kingdom is second only to the gods!"

The priests were frightened: "What should we do?"

Before Enal could speak, a soldier shouted from afar: "Princes, the Swedish king has something to come to you, so that you can go to her camp after you have enough!"

"Look, it's coming." Enal stood up slowly, "At this point, I can only act according to the opportunity."

At some point, a group of strange soldiers appeared in the barracks. They were covered in dust and dressed in disarray, as if they had just fought a defeat. From the whispers of the soldiers, Enal learned that it was the troops of the "hair salon king" Haral. They landed on the shore before Ella's troops assembled, but were attacked and returned in great defeat.

"Halal" himself lay on a stretcher. His beautiful hair was burnt and he was terrible to his equally charred scalp. His body was not seriously injured, but he was obviously frightened.

"A powerful force appeared near Novgorod!" Haral grabbed Ella's hand hard and gasped, "Those small tribes were gathered together by a powerful leader! That was an elf-level figure, and I was no match for them at all! You should be careful!"

Enal listened to the conversation between the two silently. Near Novgorod is a large coniferous forest, and the tribes living there are poorer than the pirate kingdom. Although they are very close to the pirate kingdom, the beliefs of those tribes are quite different from those of the pirate kingdom. There is no contact between the two sides at all, and Enal has no idea about Novgorod's recent situation.

Ella noticed that Enal and his group arrived, and looked up and said, "As you just heard, there was a small obstacle in our route eastward. I hope you can help us open this path."

"We?" Ernal repeated, "You mean, are you going to let dozens of us priests deal with opponents that Haler can't deal with thousands of people? You're intentional murder!"

"It is not to let you go to war, but to let you go there as my messengers and reach an agreement with them-I just want my troops to pass by and not to have conflicts with them,"

Enal looked at Ella cautiously: "How many gifts are you going to let us bring?"

"Gift? There will be no gift. The Asa God protects you. I think even if there is no gift, you can rely on God's protection to successfully reach an agreement."

"But those people are pagans!"

"I know. But only by defeating the hostile gods can we best show the power of the Asa Gods? Or do you think the power of the Asa Gods is not as useful as a few gifts when fighting against hostile gods?"

"You...!I...!"

"I sincerely wait for the victory of the Asa Gods. Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail. After all, everyone will fail. I promise with my reputation that I will give you the next, even countless opportunities to continue to prove the power of the Asa Gods - so if you are safe, whether successful or not, hurry back, I will wait for you here for seven days. If you have no news after seven days, then I will personally go on the envoy Novgorod on the eighth day."

"What if those pagans want to kill us!"
