The next day, Ella's team finally headed towards Winchester. There was a small gravel road in the forest, which was used for daily exchanges between Winchester and Southampton. After confirming that there were no ambushes in the forest, Ella's army could finally walk on it with confidence. The 1,000 people in Southampton, led by Casred, were more familiar with the terrain, so they were arranged to lead the way forward. Graheide's men were second; the 3,000 people in Ella's headquarters were at the end.

There was nothing wrong in Southampton, which made Ella's soldiers much easier - at least it showed that the enemy's power was not as big as expected.

The entire march was quite easy. Only Ella kept her face covered and let the horses bump without saying a word.

The measures taken by Alfred to prevent the Tianfang Empire put great pressure on Ella. She knew that her military power was poor, and she also knew that the invasion of the Tianfang Empire would eventually come. In order not to be captured by the Tianfang Empire before the war began, she took some time to learn swordsmanship.

The contract with Draguè increased Ella's physical fitness and made her somewhat more confident - but since even Alfred, known as the "Knight King", had to be mentally prepared to be beheaded, then what effect can the sword technique she learned really have?

In fact, what she should have realized long ago - even Meli, who could withstand more than ten elf-level magicians alone, was easily removed by the apostle.

The policies implemented by Alfred in Britain made her feel the oppression of the apostle as it approached. The first time was when she faced Ibn Sina directly.

"Maybe Gregory shouldn't have saved him at that time."

Touching the cold cross in her pocket, she even had this idea.

But even this fantasy plan cannot smooth out the huge gap in strength between her and the Tianfang Empire: if Gregorian died in the Almani Federation, the Tianfang Empire would soon appear to replace Gregorian. This will not only fail to hit the Abraham church, but will even make the Tianfang Empire look to the West earlier. Moreover, if the new apostle is like Ibn Sina, she will only be more dangerous.

Dust noticed Ella's boredom and leaned up on his horse.

"King of Sweden, what's wrong? The investigation in the forest has not made you feel addicted to swordsmanship? So should you have a sip of wine?"

Ella glanced at the wine pot in Dust's hand and said, "Master, I said, you can't drink when you march."

"That's when there is a mission. Now we just need to ride on horseback. Isn't it very free?"

The previous reconnaissance in the forest was not successful, and Dust could not become a general like this. But Ella was still Dust as a small officer, responsible for the reconnaissance. However, this time with Southampton troops in the front, Dust had nothing to do. Seeing that Ella was unwilling to take the wine pot, he shrugged, unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a mouthful into his mouth.

"Master, you are not allowed to drink!" Ella said, "Nothing happens during the marching. You are an officer now and may be assigned tasks by me at any time. If Master, you want to become a general, you must be prepared to fight at any time!"

"It's so strict. It's impossible to get me drunk with a sip of wine. If you spray alcohol in your mouth, it will help disguise..." Dust was lazy and wanted to tell himself. Seeing that Ella had a bad look, he hurriedly put away the wine pot, "Okay, okay, I won't drink it, don't stare at me! When you stare at someone, you're exactly the same as Anna, and I'm afraid you will suddenly pounce on me and remove my arm!"

Looking at Dust, Ella suddenly asked, "You have so many strange knowledge, do you know astronomy?"

"Astronomy? I can use Polaris to find ways. As for the others, it is not practical at all...what is wrong?"

Ella sighed: "It's nothing. I have a secret technique here, which must be taught to someone who is astronomy, smart, and reassuring. Since the master is not suitable, I will continue to find someone."

Seeing Ella's face turned gloomy again, Dust hahad and said, "King of Sweden, I heard something from Southampton yesterday. That's so interesting."

He wanted to use this topic to divert Ella's attention and make her feel better. But Ella still lowered her head and rode on the horse, as if she hadn't heard it. Dust had to deliberately emphasize again: "Maybe it has to do with Winchester's current situation?"

"Winchest?" Ella turned his head slightly, "Don't Southampton don't know about Winchest?"

"There is no direct information. But Southampton is an important city on the road to Winchester. Can you find out some of the information you are going to go to? Isn't that? I found out something strange from a dancer in a tavern last night - and the dancer's waist is really thin and the dancer is also very good."

Dust deliberately turned the subject aside in the second half of the sentence, trying to further arouse Ella's curiosity. But before Ella could speak, Amy's voice came from the side:

"The dancer in the Southampton Tavern is very thin and dances very well. OK, I've written it down."

Dust turned his head in the voice, and saw Amy remembering what he said in a small notebook, his face suddenly changed: "What are you remembering these?"

"Who knows. Maybe anyone will want to see it in the future." Amy smiled and put away the notebook, then patted Fenriel on the head, "Fenriel, go, go ahead and take a look."

"Wait a moment……"

Before Dust could speak, Fenriel ran away like a wind-like carriage.

"Master, don't worry about that dancer!" Ella's curiosity on the other side was caught, "What strange thing did you find out? Tell me quickly!"

"Disciple, I don't want to say it," Dust cried, "The little notebook in your maid's hand may affect my life."

"If you want that book, I will help you find a solution in the future. But what did you find out? Things related to military information are important matters, so you can't delay it. Tell me quickly!"

With Ella's promise, Dust then calmed down.
