Ella's fleet is finally returning.

They stayed in the capital of the Island Republic for a much longer time than expected. In addition to making sulfonamides, Hezekis ran too far. Ella sent many clutches and searched for several days. Then she finally found Hezekis in the besieged camp of a soon-to-be-captured city in Sicily and pulled him back.

Ella, a teacher and student of the Alchemy Academy, was originally going to take them all away. However, although Ella offered a high price, many people were still unwilling to go to the wilderness in the north. In addition, Paracelsus did not like these teachers and students very much. In the end, only one-third of them got on Ella's ship.

Fortunately, most of the top-notch alchemists such as Lazi and Rupisissa are among them.

Boxes of gold coins were transported from the port to the ship. As trophy, Ella emptied the treasury of the Island Republic.

Amy was a little dissatisfied with the amount of this trophy: "Your Majesty, are you too kind to these merchants who only empty the treasury? They still have a lot of money in their own hands. You know, they are not innocent."

Amy said this because she investigated letters from the Governor's House and the mansions of the commercial nobles. The results showed that before the war began, almost 90% of the merchants in the Island Republic were supportive of the war. She even made a detailed list of these merchants and handed them to Ella.

But Ella didn't know what she was thinking. The war criminals on the list did not move, but tied up all the merchants outside the list and stuffed them onto the ship. Even their families did not let go, and they also emptied all their assets. Those who could not move, such as land and real estate, were all exchanged for gold coins at low prices and brought them onto the ship. Those who didn't know, they thought these people were war criminals.

There were also some civilians who took the initiative to go to Sweden with Ella, and Ella also took them away.

There are so many people who cannot be transported by the small boats of the Pirate Kingdom alone, so Ella borrowed the fleet of the Ligurian Republic. The Seven Hill Empire has no power to stop this fleet at present. Ella can travel across the Black Sea Strait in a dignified manner, unload the trophy and personnel in Azov City, and then return to the Pirate Kingdom by land.

In order to guard against the attack of the Tianfang Empire, Ella left Andrea in the Mediterranean.

As a hero who defeated the Island Republic and rehabilitated the Republic of Liguria, Andrea was already at its peak in the Republic of Liguria, and might even become the new governor. When Ella was not there, the Republic of Liguria would become a loyal vassal state of the Seven Hills Empire under his influence. And if Ella was preparing to regain the throne of Seven Hills one day, Andrea would provide strong political and military support for her.

"Happy, I didn't want you to be slaves!"

After the ship left the island republic, Ella stood in front of the merchants she had forcibly tied up and explained:

"I want to develop trade in Sweden. There are furs, fish, and all kinds of strange animals, but neither I nor this group of pirates have any experience in trade and often suffer losses. So I want you to help! I have brought all your property for you. After you arrive in Sweden, let's develop it well!"

That being said, the merchants were still full of complaints. After all, for a long time, who would be willing to give up the Mediterranean trading circle and go to the wilderness of the north to do business?

"Don't be depressed. Sweden has actually developed very well now. It has a high stone wall, a road where four carriages can be run side by side, and even a bathhouse... You don't really think it's a good thing to stay in the island republic, right?"

...

Shortly after Ella's fleet left the Island Republic, the troops of the Qiqiu Empire invaded the capital of the Island Republic.

In revenge, the army plundered the Island Republic for three days. Three days later, the residents living in the capital of the Island Republic were forcibly moved to major cities of the Qiqiu Empire. Their original land was sprinkled with salt and planted with thorns.

The island republic disappeared from the Mediterranean.

...

"Speaking of this, I still have more than 4,000 soldiers and I don't know where to go."

When Ella remembered this, she was so angry that she was furious. She had fought so many battles in the Mediterranean this time, and the biggest loss was that the pirates were lost by themselves! She asked the last group of soldiers who came back and learned that they were all the way until they arrived at "Isfahan", and then somehow they got separated.

Ella didn't know where "Isfahan" would go on going east, and it was a completely unfamiliar world for her.

"Your Majesty, look over there!" Amy suddenly pointed to a port along the coast of the Qiqiu Empire, "That is our ship! There are several!"

Ella immediately let the fleet dock at the port. Under the guidance of passers-by, she caught a group of pirates who were drinking heavily in a tavern. Seeing Ella in, the pirates burped and rolled their eyes and said, "Ri... King of Sweden? We are going back to find you!"

"Why are you here? What about the others?"

"Others? Of course I went to another place to drink. This tavern is too small to sit all of us..."

Ella stomped her feet in anger: "Where did you go? Before I hit you with a crowbar, it's better to give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Where...? I think about it, it seems to be a place called A...Afang Palace!"

"Yes, Abang Palace! It's very big! It's said to be more than three hundred miles!"

The drunk pirates added with each word.

"We like to use black flags there, and we also see the owner of Afang Palace. What is the name of Shi... Emperor Shi!"

"Yes, Emperor First! He is almost a thousand years old but still very energetic! I heard that he sent someone to the sea in the east to retrieve the elixir of immortality, and from then on... he will live forever!"

"They said 'tributive' and took away all the things we stolen from Isfahan. There were so many people that we dared not say anything. The hero did not suffer any loss in front of us. The things were stolen if they didn't pay attention. They just snatched them back. As a result, he gave us a lot of things again, asking us to pay tribute once a year, and then sent us back. Oh, by the way, we still have more than a thousand people. When we heard that there was an elixir of immortality in the East China Sea, we continued to look for them. I don't know if they have found them now. The First Emperor also asked us to bring this back to the King of Sweden..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A pirate drunkenly touched the bag under his butt for a while and found a golden thing. As soon as the thing was exposed, Ella was so scared that she snatched it - it was a seal made of pure gold, decorated with purple ribbons around it. At the bottom of the seal, there were a few square words:

"The King of Swedish in the Great Qin Dynasty."

"What's wrong with the First Emperor? I haven't even seen him before, so why did I become his vassal!"

After reading the above words, Ella threw the seal to the ground in anger.

"Come on! I melted the seal and took a few radishes home!"

"What did you guys get stolen?" Amy asked with a frown.

"Spices and so on...and elephants, with a total value of about 50,000,000 Nomisma."

"Sixty thousand Nomisma?" Ella stomped her feet on the ground in anger, "That big bastard in the First Emperor! He still wants me to pay tribute to him once a year?"

"What else do they give you?" Amy asked again.

"We haven't clicked it carefully. Ah, the opposite side gave a list or something. The words are square and we can't understand..."

"Take it to me! It's better to have thousands of Nomisma!"

However, the list looked at Ella trembled in another sense.

"Are you all wrong? There are at least one hundred thousand Nomisma in the above things?"

"That's right, that's it. We can't grab those porcelains from other places?"

Ella suddenly held the seal that had been thrown to the ground in her arms.
