Magic will be exhausted.

The physical strength will be exhausted.

Under the continuous attack of pigs, Hestein's counterattack was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before the second herd was released, he could no longer use his magic to strike the lower part. He still tried to resist with the sword in his hand, but in front of the herd that was far larger than his, all this effort was futile.

His body was pushed by pigs again and again - this was him using the technology of discharging force to protect himself. But this was the only thing he could do. At this moment, he was like a thin fallen leaf in the strong wind, unable to help himself.

"Hestein is almost gone!" Ella waved her big hand, "Let the villagers prepare for the capture!"

"Okay, your majesty, let them attack and prepare to capture Hestein!"

"Who said they were going to capture Hestein?"

Amy was stunned: "Then...who will they go and capture?"

"Of course we're going to catch those scattered pigs!" Ella stomped her feet desperately, "That's three or four thousand pigs! Huang Cancan's all are gold!"

In the distance, Hestein finally landed on the ground as if he had accepted his fate and was trampled by the herd of pigs.

"Uh... obey the order - everyone, go down and catch the pig for the Swedish king!"

Catching three or four thousand pigs that can run is much more tiring than catching three or four thousand people who can run. The real hard battle is about to begin now.

——As for Hestein, just tie it back when catching the pig.

A group of people surrounded Hestein, who was tied back. His armor was stripped and replaced with a solid steel cable. Generally speaking, the steel cable could not bind the elf-level magician, but at this moment, it seemed a bit useless: he was already trampled and his nose was swollen, and there were even several places with obvious pig's trotter marks. No matter how you look, it didn't seem to have the strange power that could break free from the steel cable.

"He wasn't really trampled to death by a pig, right?"

Amy said with some concern. If it is reported that the Swedish king killed the hero king, the chaos will be huge, especially at this point in time, and it is very likely that the enemy will seize the opportunity.

"He is as strong as a bear. It would be strange if he dies like this! Let me step on him again and vent my anger on Amy!"

Ella lifted her feet and angrily stepped on Hestein for more than a dozen times.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Hestein was awakened by Ella and opened his eyes in a violent cough.

"How about it, do you still need to fight?" Ella lifted her sleeves and showed off her muscles that could be equally matched with the sheep. "I still have tens of thousands of pigs behind me who haven't released it!"

"I've never seen a war like this before." Hestein stared at the sky and murmured, "No need for people, but for pigs... How can we come up with such a tactic?"

"I don't know it anymore? This is the traditional tactic of the Qiqiu Empire! When facing the elephants in Carthage, these pigs made great contributions! I just increased the number a little!"

"So that's it." Hestein sighed, "I lost."

"So," Amy asked seriously, "why are you attacking us?"

"Who knows." Hestein lay on the ground and shook his head. "Maybe it was because of Juvaus, maybe it was because of something else... Anyway, I can't do anything big, I'm just a more powerful pirate."

"You're not a pirate."

Ella squatted down and looked at him angrily.

"You are just a good old man who is right and wrong."

Hestein's eyes flashed: "Good man? Who? Am I?"

"Before I decided to go to war with you, I carefully recalled what happened in the past few years - I am not the kind of person who will forget things. Not to mention a few things, even if I ask me to install a whole library, I will not miss a word."

Ella pointed to her head, her tone slightly eased:

"And then I realized that I have been under your protection since I was expelled from the Seven Hills Empire. Although you said it fiercely... Hestein has always been protecting me, right?"

Hestein looked away at the sky without answering.

"Can you tell me why?" Ella looked at Hestein's face seriously, "Why do you want to protect a non-kind, unfamiliar foreigner like this?"

"Actually... if Vigdis was still alive, my daughter would be as old as you."

"You've always wanted to be my father!"

Ella was so angry that she stepped on Hestein's body again.

"I'm lying to you." Hestein laughed hard, "Actually, she should be seven or eight years younger than you. But..."

"Just what?"

"Sure enough...I don't want to be a pirate."

The wind blew, gently caressing Hestein's slightly white hair and beard, and at the same time, it brought the fishy smell of the sea.

Hestein and Ella were silent and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Hestein opened his white mouth slightly and spoke out one by one:

"Your next opponent is an apostle named Crodis. He is very strong... very strong. If you want to go to Paris, you will definitely not be able to avoid him. And now... I'm afraid I can't help much."

"I've seen Crodis." Ella held Hestein's hand, "You are here to recover quietly, and I will find a way to deal with it."

"Don't let the Tianfang Empire control the Almany Federation." Hestein's voice became lighter and lighter, "Although we have been in a state of evil with the Almany Federation for hundreds of years... I still understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold."

"So that's how it is."

Ella took out her handkerchief and Bonhestein cleaned up the stains on her face.

"Hestein...you are indeed a king."

"Yeah."

Hestein turned to look at the sky again, his face very peaceful and calm.

"Sepia," he asked suddenly, "do you know what the 'Fifth Element' is?"

"The fifth element? It is a concept corresponding to the four elements, also known as the 'ether'." Ella did not expect that a rough man like Hestein would suddenly ask about this, "The four elements are wind, fire, water, and earth, and they will transform each other. But the fifth element does not. It is the 'element' that condenses the essence of all things, similar to the soul of a human. Because there are no opposing elements, it will not transform, and therefore it will be immortal. Its most intuitive manifestation is the stars in the sky."

"I see."

Hestein was silent for a long time again.

"Why are you asking this?" Ella asked.
