Chapter 166 Elsa tries to leave

The Southern Kingdom formed a counterattack army, divided into three routes, one of which is expected to take Rand's Crescent Territory defense line.

I don’t know about the other two routes, but they are nothing more than those bordering areas.

The Frost Moon Kingdom also basically formed a counterattack army, which was also divided into three groups.

The marshal is the black and brown marquis, who coordinates the overall situation.

Then the main generals of the three routes were three young men who were pushed forward, the second son of Earl Feihu, the eldest son of Earl Xionglu, and the second prince.

The former second prince has become the current king, and now he has sent his second son to the army.

The royal family naturally has to ensure that they have influence in the army. Otherwise, although the probability of the nobles rebelling and trying to seize the throne is very small, if they have no influence in the army at all, what the king says will easily be regarded as nonsense.

Today's second prince and the eldest prince are brothers from the same mother. As long as they have a certain influence in the army, the future king will have an easier time.

Many countries try to do this, with the king in charge of the overall situation and the prince controlling the army, at least partially controlling the army.

Only the royal family of such a country can have sufficient control over the country, but unfortunately, in this era, many nobles are not very afraid of the king, and there are actually not many such successful cases.

Of course, the current King of the Frost Moon Kingdom should not be having an easy time right now. This king has good basic abilities, but his political skills are really not that good. It is estimated that he will suffer for a long time.

I just wonder when the king will understand that it is not advisable to maintain the political balance so rigidly? The three people leading the army this time are all young, but they all have experienced military nobles as adjutants, and the marshal is the black and brown marquis, responsible for commanding the overall situation.

That is, Rand is not qualified to participate this time. This time, because they have been dominant in looting, even if there was a traitor later, they still have the advantage overall. At present, it seems that the Southern Kingdom’s army does not have many people, and the Frost Moon Kingdom is confident about this conflict.

So a lot of young people were stuffed in to gild their reputation.

At this time, there is naturally no place for Rand. Many people have realized that Rand's military capabilities are not comparable to those of ordinary people, but now it is a Gilded Battle with a very high chance of winning. It is not a life-and-death war like the Civil War where every bit of combat power needs to be exerted to the extreme.

Could it be that Rand was asked to come here to gild himself? How could he be allowed to take all the good things? Rand's military reputation in the Frost Moon Kingdom was already very high. During the civil war, he personally killed the four princes. During the friction and conflict period, his subordinates gained an advantage in the conflict with the prestigious Snow Fox Countess. After coming to the capital, the strength of Rand's personal guards was also known to everyone when dealing with the undead.

Many people already know that Rand is a military powerhouse.

That is why Rand cannot be allowed to directly participate in this conflict. Otherwise, if Rand makes new contributions, he will be rewarded. If he makes great contributions, he will be rewarded with several baronies or even viscounties.

And the most crucial thing is that Rand is too young. He still has a long life ahead of him and will have the opportunity to participate in countless wars in the future. Should Rand be given the opportunity to leap from a savage who is not even a noble to an earl in his lifetime?

At least unless it is necessary, many nobles want to keep Rand, the military genius, hidden away until he has to be used.

…

Elsa walked along the main road of the den and came to the giant stone pillar in the center of the den.

Since Rand came back, Elsa has also been on vacation, and Lisa's magical toy has been completed, so she no longer has to go to the ruins or stalls to help Lisa find parts and drawings.

She had seen Rand praying here before, but she did not go up to disturb him, but just watched from the side.

Then he watched Rand finish his prayer and return to the Lord's Hall.

Only then did Elsa slowly walk to the stone pillar.

There are already many names inscribed on it, some of which are even funny, such as some names made up of animals and numbers.

Many people don’t even have a name at the beginning, but after joining the army, they will get a name that is unique to them, and are no longer the nth child in someone’s family.

Being able to have your name engraved on this stone pillar can be considered a symbol of honor, but the owners of these names have all passed away without exception.

The bodies will be cremated after being brought back to the hideout. As to whether cremation is a desecration of the bodies, that is something only the nobles would care about. The soldiers in the hideout are all civilians except for the White King's personal guards. Their original way of dealing with the bodies is to wrap them in straw mats.

Sometimes there isn't even a straw mat.

Now that Rand has requested that the bodies be cremated, there is no resistance, at least in the Crescent Territory and New Moon Territory.

Elsa walked around the stone pillar and saw many familiar names on it.

Many of them are her students.

The classrooms in the den are divided into small classrooms at the foot of the mountain and small classrooms on the mountain.

The small classroom at the foot of the mountain has always been taught by senior members of the hideout because of its political significance.

The small classroom on the mountain has been divided into many classes, and some missionaries who have learned the skills will come back regularly to teach.

But in the early days, the earliest batches of students in the small classrooms on the mountains were also taught personally by the top leaders of the hideout.

Those people are now at the grassroots or even middle level in the military and politics.

But on the battlefield, no matter what your qualifications are, you will always encounter death.

Elsa knew Rand's plan, and later planned to build a cathedral at the foot of the mountain, and then establish a church school with unified teaching, but there is no sign of it yet.

Elsa looked around again, then turned and left. She always felt that she had caused a lot of trouble to Rand, but it seemed that she had not made any contribution to this nest.

If she had done more, these people would not have died, or perhaps fewer people would have died.

The killer who was chasing her before was dealt with by Rand, and the two top assassins who appeared later were dealt with with the help of Lysa.

If she hadn't met Rand, she always felt that she would have died somewhere long ago. Even if she didn't die, she would have been like a wild dog hiding from place to place instead of the comfort and happiness she had during this period of time.

The time since she met Rand was truly the happiest time of her life.

But so far, there is very little she can do for Rand.

Walking into the lord's hall, Elsa was not surprised to see Rand playing with Olenna's fingers, because the relationship between Olenna and Rand was already well known among the top leaders of the hideout.

Olenna was still a little embarrassed, so she withdrew her hand, held the documents, stood beside Rand, and looked at Elsa who was walking over.

Rand noticed that Elsa looked a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I want to go home." Elsa said.

Her father might have mastered some mysterious things, but he was just a top-level professional like her. Ever since she was suspected of becoming a top-level professional, her strength has become very strong, and many top-level professionals in the family have also been killed.

Go back and kill his father, then take over the family, and then actually control that group of killers to serve Rand.

She had received a lot of care from Rand and wanted to do something for him.

Rand's brain was working rapidly at this time. He had no idea what Elsa meant by this incoherent sentence.

He didn't know what Elsa was going through. The only thing he knew was that during the time he was away, Elsa experienced another assassination attempt on her family, but she resolved it perfectly with the help of Lisa.

So she is now too fed up with her family and wants to go back and take revenge on them?

Rand asked tentatively: "Is it dangerous for you to go back?"

“Somewhat.”

"Are you confident?"

“Somewhat.”

Uh uh, Rand suddenly felt very worried: "How many top professionals are there in your family? Is it possible that there are any special enemies?"

"If my father is included, there could be as many as three or as few as one. But I only need to defeat my father, and the others will naturally surrender. As for special enemies, my father may have some special abilities, but they are probably not as strong as mine."

Elsa did not hide anything from Rand. She had long been accustomed to answering all of Rand's questions. After all, Rand had signed a strange six-year employment contract with her, which required that, at least while working, she could not deal with the lord or lie.

Although Rand himself may not remember the above content clearly, Elsa has read it many times and knows it by heart.

Rand knew that Elsa was very powerful. She was the protagonist of the original "Deep Moon" game. Although she was now only suspected to have become a top-level professional, Rand could not tell how powerful she was, but she must be very powerful anyway.

But looking at Elsa's expression, you can tell that Elsa is not that confident. She doesn't seem like someone who can't endure it for a while. Wouldn't it be nice to go back for revenge when she becomes stronger?

Rand thought for a moment and said, "The hideout can provide you with support. Let Lysa and Olenna help you."

Elsa shook her head again. If she brought an outsider back, she would not be able to inherit the family legitimately. Instead, it would attract hatred. A group of killers scattered together could not become Rand's helper.

As for becoming stronger in the future, the strongest in this world is the top professional, can she still become a king? Now that the family's strength is empty and the new generation has not grown up, in her eyes, it is the best time.

At this time, Rand also understood the situation.

Elsa was probably having a brain attack due to her kleptomania, and she might want to go back and steal things. This is easy to understand! Rand took out a piece of smooth parchment from the small cabinet behind the throne, walked down from the throne, pinched Elsa's beautiful oval face with his hands, brought her face close, and forced her to look at the words on the parchment.

"Did you see it? It says six years, and it's not even a year yet? Why, Ms. Elsa, do you want to skip work?"

"No, I just." Elsa's face was pinched, so she mumbled when she spoke.

Rand then displayed the aura of the black-hearted entrepreneur he had seen in his previous life.

"What do you mean? It's just that! Want to skip work? No way!" Rand stared at Elsa with his black eyes and said, "I will watch you. Don't try to sneak away."

Elsa nodded. She didn't know why, but she felt relieved. Rand seemed to value her very much and didn't just treat her as a subordinate, although Rand now had a stern face and looked like a black-hearted lord.
