Chapter 4 Its a pirate! (3)

"It should be nearby!" Ella pointed to an ordinary piece of land and said to the hundred soldiers with shovels, "Dig! Dig down hard!"

The soldiers took Ella's order and began to dig down the soil with shovels and shovels.

"Hahaha, Amy, look, this is a genius-like combat plan that only I can implement. It was something I suddenly remembered when I was sleeping on the Flying Zelan! So we sleep more often on the Flying Zelan at night, which is conducive to improving memory..."

"There is no connection between the two at all! Didn't Your Majesty remember all the books in the Wang Family Library from the beginning? I remembered that there was this drawing so late. Did you stay on the boat for too long and get seasick..."

"No seasickness! No seasickness!" Ella suddenly grabbed Amy and begged, "Amy, don't burn my ship..."

"Your Majesty, what do you think of me??? OK, okay, I know, Your Majesty is not seasick..."

Amy decided to give up arguing with Ella about this. Anyway, Ella would insist on sleeping on the flying Zelans anyway. In terms of safety, sleeping in a movable boat is indeed better than sleeping in a fixed palace.

Looking at the soldiers who kept digging the soil, Amy couldn't help but sigh: This city has a history of at least hundreds of years, and it has been built there since her birth. Ella is younger than her, but she is so clear about the structure of the city. In terms of knowledge, Ella is really well-versed in the past.

Amy suddenly thought that maybe her Majesty could answer her doubts about the inexplicable voice.

"Your Majesty," she asked, "do you know what kaὶσὺtέkνoν means?"

"'Is there you? Son'." Ella replied casually, "It has another Latin version that is widely circulated, 'ET tu Brutue', which means 'Is there you? Brutus?'"

“…Is there any allusion to this?”

"Is it the last sentence of Gaius Julius Caesar before his death? He was assassinated and Brutus was close to him, but he saw that he was also among the assassination of his people, so he said this sentence in despair: 'ET tu Brutue'."

"That Caesar... does he hate the Scipio family?"

"Hate it? It's not that right? He was a figure from the Republic of Qiqiu. He defeated all foreign and political enemies, held great power, forced the Senate to recognize him as a lifelong dictator, but was assassinated in the end. The whole incident had nothing to do with the Scipio family... In the end, the Scipio family won the throne of the Scipio Empire, but he had been dead for hundreds of years at that time."

"Then your majesty," Amy searched his memory, "What does 'dice rolled' mean?"

"It is also a famous saying that Caesar said? There is a law in the Republic of Qiqiu that any general cannot lead his troops to a river north of Qiqiu City without the authorization of the Senate, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion. He was crossing the river when he said this, which means that war was inevitable... Then he led his troops to occupy Qiqiu City and became a dictator."

"…Your Majesty, VENI, VIDI, VICI, what does VICI mean?"

"A war report sent by Caesar to the Senate means 'I come, I see, I conquer'. What's wrong, Amy, suddenly, was so interested in Caesar...?"

Amy raised her hand silently and looked at the back of her hand. At this moment, her blood was also rushing under the back of her hand.

Could it be that she is a descendant of Caesar?

"Your Majesty, if, I mean, if... If I were the descendant of that Caesar, what would you think of me?"

"Amy? I think you don't have to care about bloodline. After all, your surname is Scipio now, but you are much better than Caesar! So what about the descendants of Caesar? It's been hundreds or thousands of years, so you can't come out and claim the throne of the Scipio family now, right?"

"That depends on who the throne is in." Amy smiled, "Like the throne in Sweden is completely obtained by His Majesty on his own, and it has nothing to do with blood. Even if Caesar himself comes, he can't take it away, right?"

Amy felt relieved. She had always been worried that her bloodline would be detrimental to Ella, but as she said just now, even if Caesar himself came, she would not be able to shake Ella's current status.

and--

"Your Majesty," she asked suddenly, "Does Caesar, do he like to kill people?"

"No, right? He is a very powerful military strategist and has very good political means. He is not a guy who only knows how to fight and kill... Amy, why do you keep asking this...?"

Looking at the confused Ella, Amy chuckled again.

——Loki is the god of tricks. This is probably just a trap for him.

The soldiers not far away suddenly cheered: "It's the water pipe! King of Sweden, we have found the water pipe!"

"Did you find it so soon?" Ella turned her attention to the soldiers, "Hurry, give the water pipe a shovel!"

A stream of water shot out like a small fountain.

Amy said curiously: "Azov...is the water cut off like this? Will they surrender like this?"

Amy was cheering with the soldiers. Amy's words suddenly touched a certain nerve in her and calmed her down.

"You reminded me. To surrender Azov, you must defeat the reinforcements that may come."

Ella hurried towards the shore.

"Azov is an isolated city hanging from the Republic of Liguria. Whether it is to get supplies or reinforcements, it can only be passed through sea. Therefore, there is no need for us to invest too much on land. Let the soldiers push all the ships into the sea and prepare for naval battles."

"I understand. Your Majesty, how many people should we invest in the sea?"

"At 60%."

"60%? Your Majesty, you have to surround three directions on the road, and there is only one direction on the sea. Is there a little bit of 60% of the troops invested..."

"Just 60%... it may not be enough if it is less."

"If there are 60% troops, there are 15,000 people!" Amy said in surprise, "I see that the Republic of Liguria only has a small piece on the map. If your Majesty pointed it to me, I can't find it at all... I really need to use so many people?"

"We are discussing how many people should stay on land, and how many people should be lost half when they go into the water. For the pirate kingdom, ships are just tools to quickly deploy troops. But for the Republic of Liguria, the navy is the real navy - let our soldiers practice more sea combat these days."

"Your Majesty, although you say that, you are actually confident in your heart, right? There is ocean fire on our ship..."

Ella did not directly answer Amy's words. She looked at the sea in the distance - although the waves were calm at the moment, it would always bring stormy waves when people didn't want them.

She shook her head and laughed:
