Chapter 9 Trap (5)

"Retreat? Didn't they still look for water not long ago?" Ella said in disbelief. "You think carefully, how did you get this information? Have you seen the enemy's camp?"

"No, I dare not get too close to the enemy's camp, so I lurked far away." The scout replied, "But last night, when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard footsteps, and the footsteps of many people! I quickly followed the direction of the sound and saw Bjorn's troops walking north in groups. I didn't dare to breathe loudly, and lurked beside me for a long time. There were many people walking in front of me, and even if there were not all, there were 90% of the enemy troops! When they all walked over, I plucked up the courage to touch the enemy's original camp location and saw that the camp was still kept as it was, but it was silent and sounded. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound! The people inside must have been all gone!"

"They must have discovered the Knight King's plan. They learned that Scotland was under attack, so they rushed back to rescue!" said a knight. "They left the camp to delay us, but they miscalculated, and our scouts discovered their whereabouts that night. This is a good time to pursue. King Sweden, take us out!"

Ella shook her head: "I think it's a bit strange. According to Alfred's plan, they can't even transport the logistics. How could they suddenly learn about the news from the rear?"

"That is that they lack food and have to retreat." Another knight said, "No matter what, now is a great time to pursue. Even in order to support the friendly forces in Scotland, we have to pursue!"

"I'm afraid this is the strategy of the opponent deliberately leading us out." Ella continued to shake her head, "There is no protection of the city wall and the trap of preparation in advance. Once we encounter the ambush on the opposite side, we will be done."

Someone couldn't help but shout: "Bjorn is a barbarian from the north. Those Aztlanders are even their weapons are stone. How could they think of any traps! If they look at everything in this way, then what else can they fight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed. Ella felt a little hot in her head. Although Alfred handed over the military power to her, his subordinates did not follow it so easily. She could only move Alfred's words to calm the group of people: "Alfred just said..."

"Your Majesty, I think that letting them prohibit them from attacking for no reason will only increase the friction between them and His Majesty." Amy whispered, "Is there any other way to convince them?"

Ella calmed down a little. She tried to put the knights' guidance aside, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "It's OK to pursue, but we have to check the situation of the camp where they stayed."

"Camp? Isn't there no one? What's the point of going there now?" the knights said anxiously, "Order the pursuit quickly. If it's too late, the enemy will run away."

"They are not so easy to withdraw in the hinterland of England, so there is no rush for this moment." Ella said, "We are going to see what else is left in the camp. If there is a lot of baggage inside, it means they are in a hurry to retreat and can pursue them. But if all the baggage is gone, it means they are prepared to retreat. Even if they are not to lead us out, they must be prepared to deal with the pursuers. With the current strength gap, pursuit will be very dangerous!"

"It makes sense, so let's go and see it right away!" said the group of knights. "We will take our entourages to ride over. If we find that something is wrong, we will come back immediately. If we find that we can pursue, we will ride up to chase after us. King Sweden, after you receive the report, then chase after the infantry. How about this?"

"Yes, I'll send someone here to follow you."

As he said that, Ella turned her head and whispered to Amy; "Amy, please follow Fenriel and stare at them a little. Also help them pay attention to the situation around them."

Amy hesitated a little: "Your Majesty often uses the camp to lure enemies. I know what to pay attention to. But let me stare at them... I'm afraid I can't keep an eye on them."

So Ella comforted, "It's okay. Once an abnormal situation occurs, you can't stop it, immediately ride Fenriel back and report to me. At Fenriel's speed, it's enough to carry me to catch up with them!"

Since Ella said that, Amy was not easy to refuse. So she rode on Fenriel and followed the group of knights to the camp where the enemy was reported.

She felt that there was no need to rush in front of the knights. At first, she just followed the knights far away. But the huge white wolf could not help but attract the attention of the knights. On the way, they turned around from time to time and pointed at the white wolf under Amy, which was bigger than the horse. Finally, someone slowed down the horse and came to her and said, "A white wolf of such a big one, should you eat a lot of meat every day?"

"Yes, I ate a lot. His Majesty wanted to sell it several times." Amy touched the white hair on Fenriel's head with care. "But he is also smart. Every time His Majesty wants to sell it, he will yell at His Majesty. Then I took the opportunity to scare His Majesty and said that this wolf can fight your snake. I don't care about it when it comes back to take revenge. His Majesty will give up his mind to sell it."

When Meli released the snake in Ella's crowbar and fought with Fenriel, these knights were watching. Now that they heard Amy mention this again, the tragic scene suddenly appeared in their minds: a giant snake with a man high and a giant wolf with a man high fighting in the center of the battlefield. The giant wolf was surrounded by fire, and poisonous mist sprayed out from the giant snake's mouth. All soldiers who came into contact with one of the two died tragically on the battlefield.

"So this is the wolf at that time? We can't recognize it without fire!"

"You said that fire? It has something to do with his master. Ivar had just died and the flames on it were still very fierce. But my Lokikagu was not that strong, and it basically would not have fired." Amy said, "The same is true for His Majesty's crowbar. At that time, your Meli summoned the snake with it, and it looked very strong. But in His Majesty's hands, it was just an iron weapon to fight with the sheep."

"This wolf was originally from Ivar?" The knights were even more surprised. "We have indeed heard that Ivar raised a white wolf, saying that it was very cruel. No one except Ivar could control it. Several of the people who fed it were eaten by it. How did you tame it?"

"I've always been very strange. It came here by itself, maybe because I have Loki's protection like Ivar? Or I know the magic of the elf-level Aphrodite? Maybe it's because I killed Ivar and it may not be..."

Unconsciously, the group of knights fell behind Amy. Amy turned around and was surprised: "Why are you all behind? Is my Fenrir too fast? I'm slower..."
