Chapter 101 Blood, Change, and Strategy (Fourth Update!!!)



Chapter 101 Blood, Change, and Strategy (Fourth Update!!!)

On a cold snowy night, the third prince ordered a night attack.

For the vast majority of nobles, this was a very unfamiliar thing, and night raids were never something the nobles would consider.

This world values ​​the martial arts of knights, not the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

But facing the current situation, if we wait until the 5th Legion arrives, we will definitely be defeated.

If you don't try to take risks, you're just waiting to die.

Therefore, even though they had no idea about the key points of night fighting, these nobles still agreed to the third prince's plan.

Obviously, people with night blindness cannot attack at night. Even with torches, they will not be able to see as long as it is a little dark. In this era, not only the conscripts below, but even the knights cannot always have a balanced diet of meat and vegetables.

As a result, the proportion of people with night blindness is very large, and many people cannot see at all at night, but the people below are still forced to attempt a night attack due to military orders.

The good news is that the night blindness situation on the Second Prince's side is also quite serious. The bad news is that when they arrived at the Second Prince's camp, one-third of their people were lost because of the confusion in command, night blindness and the difficult road conditions in the snow.

Fortunately, they took advantage of the surprise attack, and the Second Prince's men had never thought about the possibility of a night attack, so they didn't even set up their tents properly, and had no plans to prevent a night attack.

As a result, the First Army sent by the Second Prince was completely caught off guard at the first moment.

Not to mention the wizards and the masters of the elite knights.

After nightfall, Elsa, with a strong smell of blood filling the entire space, walked gently to Rand.

Ever since she was suspected of being promoted to the highest level, Elsa has been walking almost silently. At least Rand has no right to discover when she will appear.

But in fact, Rand couldn't discover it before, so he couldn't feel the difference.

"How's it going?" Rand asked.

Elsa's voice was still calm: "Kill some."

The smell of blood in your body, which is so strong that it is almost tangible, doesn't sound like you just killed a few people.

However, Elsa still looked a little regretful. She herself did not have night blindness, but many of the scouts did, so they were forced to retreat after nightfall.

The same was true when I led a team on scouting missions before. Although we might work until dark, we would gather together after dark, holding torches to avoid getting lost, and slowly return to the barracks.

But it seems that she will not be harassed in the short term. She has killed many people, and many of them have been frightened.

And they are not far from the front line, so I guess it’s time for these people to give up.

Rand glanced at Elsa, whose body was covered with what looked like brain and internal organ fragments, and asked, "Do you want to wash?"

Elsa didn't care about the dirt on her body, but since Rand asked, she still joked: "Do you want to see it? If you want to see me take a bath, just tell me directly."

Only at this time, she was no longer as indifferent as always, and seemed to have a bit of girlishness.

Rand said that Elsa's words were harmless. Did she think that such words would make him blush? He responded without hesitation: "This fall, you stole my pants and were seen by the diplomatic representative of the Adventurers' Association."

Elsa's eyes widened for a moment.

Rand continued, "Just a while ago, you used a little toy..."

"I was wrong!" Elsa felt that the dead memory was attacking her, and the attack was extremely fierce. She apologized decisively: "I was wrong! I was wrong! I give up."

Rand smiled and said, "So you want to take a bath? The bathtub is right next to you and the hot water is ready."

It's obvious that Rand had prepared it in advance. Rand is very considerate most of the time. Except for sometimes appearing lustful and perverted, and sometimes appearing shameless, he is still a normal person at other times.

Unfortunately, this consideration doesn't seem to be just for her.

Elsa grumbled to herself for a moment, then said, "So you want to watch me take a shower?"

Rand rolled his eyes and began to repeat: "This fall, you stole..."

The next morning, Olenna helped Rand put on his clothes as usual, then handed him a military report and said, "I've read it. The Third Prince launched a night attack on the Second Prince's camp. The Second Prince narrowly won. Although he succeeded in capturing the Third Prince, he didn't destroy many enemy troops."

Rand felt a little sorry, but even if the dust settled, if he could arrive in time, he could still get some credit for the support, and his title of viscount would be secure. Now it seems that there is no hope.

But it's okay. After all, there is no loss, and essentially the gains this time have far exceeded expectations. The next step is to deal with the fourth prince, and everything will be fine.

His prestige in the 5th Legion is very high now, and now that the dust has settled, he should be able to persuade Earl Black and Brown to help capture the Fourth Prince.

After all, it is a credit, which makes up for the delay in support, although it is not actually the fault of the 5th Legion.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand had some doubts that the Fourth Prince was actually involved in this civil war, but from his perspective he couldn't see what the Fourth Prince had done.

But he knew history! If he could do it, there was absolutely no reason to let the Fourth Prince go.

Only if the second prince ascends the throne of the king will it be in the best interests of Rand and the den. If the fourth prince steals the throne, it will be a big disaster.

At the rear of the Third Prince's faction, the Fourth Prince successfully persuaded the Third Prince's faction to send the 3rd and 4th Corps.

The Fourth Prince was ecstatic. He had not had high hopes for the success of his plan and thought it might just be a futile struggle.

The more steps in a plan, the greater the chance of errors.

This is especially true when you are trying to gain great returns with a small investment.

In fact, his plan had gone wrong, too many things had gone wrong. His original plan was to plant an insider in the Third Prince's faction, find an opportunity to make the Third Prince's faction reveal a flaw, and create a gap in his Third Prince brother's defense.

Then he would arrange for someone to assassinate or let the Second Prince's men find the loophole in the defense and kill the Third Prince in one blow. Then he would take over the Third Prince's army and defeat the Second Prince.

Now, the development of the situation can only be said to be completely different from his plan, but unexpectedly, the result is good.

The mercenaries he sent out actually worked together with the members of the God of Struggle Sect to successfully hold back the 5th Legion.

As a result, the main forces of the Third Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction were both defeated. Although the Third Prince was captured, the main force of the Second Prince's army also suffered heavy losses.

More importantly, he betrayed the followers of the God of Struggle and told the two legions sent back by the Third Prince about the situation of the God of Struggle sect, allowing them to quickly deal with the territory issues, so that the legions were not disbanded.

In fact, even if the third prince had not been captured, he was sure that he could completely convince the two legions to support him to become the king instead of the third prince. After all, their private withdrawal had already disobeyed the third prince.

And because the Second Prince's troops had penetrated deep into the hinterland and were not far from here, they had enough time to defeat the Second Prince's main army, which had suffered heavy losses, and the Fifth Army, which must have been exhausted due to the long march.

The fourth prince discovered that the king's throne was so close to him.
