Chapter 200 Rand's Stupid Plan
The elf maid was waiting at the classroom door with some trepidation.
After being captured and brought to the human kingdom, many things were different from what one had imagined.
She is a member of the elven royal family. Although the royal bloodline is already very weak and belongs to a branch within a branch, she is still a member of the royal family anyway.
But after being arrested, she was not humiliated, at most she took some maid courses.
Then they were sent back and forth.
At the moment, it seems that the lord of this land doesn't think highly of her, so she will probably be transferred again.
I don’t know which lord I will end up in.
After the lecture ended, the elf maid straightened her clothes. She didn't know whether the person she would face next would be the one who decided her fate.
The wooden door of the classroom was opened, and a tall figure with pointed ears walked out.
White hair, golden eyes.
The elf maid's breathing hitched.
In the kingdom of elves, such characteristics mean pure bloodline.
This is something that even the elven royal family finds difficult to possess.
Although they are a side branch, they still know more about this kind of things than ordinary elves.
Of the elves, the only ancient elves left are those few legendary ones that are rarely seen.
Which one of them was this? The elf maid was more inclined to believe that she was dreaming, or that the elf in front of her was using some kind of makeup?
"What's your name?" Lisa asked.
“#%……&.” The royal family’s names were mostly composed of beautiful Elvish words, which were complex. If one wanted to translate them into the common language, they could only use inaccurate transliterations.
"Royal family?"
"Yes."
Lisa didn't say much, just gestured for her to follow her.
The lifespan of elves is indeed longer than that of humans, but the lifespan of most elves is just that: humans can live for a hundred years, and elves can live for about two hundred years.
But the actual lifespan is actually about the same as that of humans.
Elves only have a longer lifespan in theory, but they are neither immune to disease nor to blades. Without the help of the forest, it would be difficult for elves to become a match for humans.
In other words, if an elf is killed, it will die.
They will die of illness, starvation, and freezing.
Just like the vast majority of ordinary humans on this land, they died from poverty, war, and plague, which were insignificant to the nobles.
That's all, their lives are over, and the word "lifespan" is meaningless.
The life span of the elven royal family will be slightly longer, but only slightly.
But there is one very good advantage, that is, every member of the elven royal family is highly educated, has a high literacy rate, knows a lot of historical allusions, knows a lot of scientific and cultural knowledge, and even the elven royal family's curriculum includes the basics of alchemy.
In short, with a little training, you can teach the children of the nobility.
Although she has classes here for both ability and political reasons, all she needs to do is to package this elf maid - an elf scholar specially captured here, who knows a lot of advanced knowledge.
This would free her, and although she might be assigned other tasks by the evil sadist Rand later, a short rest was still a rest.
Walking on the streets of the resort with the elf maid.
The elf maid looked at the surrounding buildings and pedestrians with some curiosity.
After coming to the human kingdom, she had seen many different buildings, such as iron cages for imprisoning people, villages with iron cages, carriages with iron cages, and noble manors with iron cages.
There are many novelties here, and a very comfortable atmosphere.
But these should have nothing to do with her. I guess after observing her, she will be sold or given to someone else.
Now she could only hope that her last master wasn't some pervert who liked to whip people.
"Do you like it here?" The elf maid's expression naturally could not escape Lisa's eyes.
The elf then remembered that this white-haired elf who was suspected to be of ancient blood seemed to have a very high status here. She didn't expect her to let her go back, but what about staying here? The environment here seemed to be very good.
Lysa felt that she simply did not understand the horror of the lord of this land, but it didn't matter what the elf thought.
Bringing the elf maid to the residence, Lysa glanced at the elf of royal blood who looked confused and frightened, and threw her a few books.
"After reading, memorize it. You will be tested in fifteen days. After that, someone will arrange accommodation for you. Meals will also be arranged by the same organization. Don't miss the time. Good food is first come, first served."
The elf still didn't quite understand the situation, but judging from the situation, he shouldn't have to be resold for the time being.
On the other side, Rand and Elsa also appeared in the holiday villa.
In fact, Rand still had some work to do, but all the urgent matters were done, and he would deal with the rest in the evening.
Now the important thing is the maid plan!
When we arrived at the clothing store in the hideout, the best-selling item was still the adventurer outdoor activity suit designed by Ellie.
The others are slightly worse.
The owner of the clothing store is an old tailor who has served several Crescent Moon Barons and is very reliable.
Rand asked the boss if he knew the style of maid uniforms that the elf maids wore.
This style was probably specially designed by the nobility. It is less practical, but much more beautiful.
The owner of the clothing store said that he had heard of it, but specific drawings or samples were needed for production, otherwise there would be deviations.
Rand looked at Elsa: "Did you write it down?"
Elsa raised an eyebrow, "Do you really like maids that much?"
People who lived in an era when there were maids would not understand modern people's love for maids.
Rand shook his head in disappointment. Now it seemed that he had to find a way to trick the elf maid into giving him her clothes.
He touched his chin and felt that his intelligence had reached an unprecedented new height.
Elsa knew what Rand was thinking at a glance, and said helplessly: "I've got it down. I'll draw the blueprint."
"You can draw blueprints for clothes?" Rand was a little surprised.
"No." Elsa said, "But I have a good memory. If I have a reference, I should be able to do it."
Rand looked at the owner of the clothing store. This old woman would naturally not disobey the lord's wishes. She walked to the back of the house and took out a blueprint from the drawer.
Elsa looked at the drawings for a few seconds and then began to draw.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It turns out that Elsa is not omnipotent, at least she cannot quickly learn to draw blueprints in a short period of time.
Elsa put down her pen somewhat awkwardly.
Rand didn't make fun of her, but it seemed that plan B had to be activated now.
The problem is that it is easy to trick her into taking off the maid outfit and changing into another one, but it is difficult to take the maid outfit away.
Although Rand should no longer have any reputation in the hideout, if there were more rumors about him forcibly taking away the maid's clothes, Rand felt that it would still be difficult for him to adapt.
…
"Attack the city!"
Perrault once again ordered an attack.
The Flying Fox Army was the core knightly order during the time when Count Feihu was the Grand Duke of Needleleaf. It is an army of the same level as the Knights of Thorn of the Grand Duke of Thorn of the Frost Moon Kingdom today.
When dealing with bandits, villagers and the armies of some small nobles, they can be defeated with a snap of the fingers.
The number of troops his father provided him in the first phase was one thousand trained soldiers and 196 Flying Fox Knights.
This is a very terrifying number. If we go by the standards of the Frost Moon Kingdom, a standard earl would have this number of cavalry.
This also made it easier for him to attack the city.
In this era, it is quite rare in siege warfare for both sides to be determined enough to fight until the city walls are damaged or one side runs out of ammunition and food.
Perhaps only in the North, when facing orcs and trolls, can the soldiers have enough firm belief to defend the city, because in the eyes of orcs and trolls, humans are also a kind of food.
However, wars between humans are much more moderate, especially when their lords are not in the castle, the defenders' will to defend the city is never very strong.
Because they knew very well that if the resistance was too fierce, there would be a massacre after the city was captured.
In this era, the most important skill for a general defending a city is to judge the strength of the enemy and ourselves, as well as to master the resources of friendly forces.
At least when Pero appeared at the gate of the city with two hundred armored knights with distinctive flying fox patterns, most of the time, it would only take a short wait for the city gate to open.
The troops defending the city would immediately surrender to them.
Of course, in extremely rare cases, the defenders would put up a desperate resistance.
This will cause them trouble, but the other side will not be able to resist for long.
With the help of ladders, the knights and soldiers climbed up the city wall together.
The most common weapons used by the defenders on the city walls were tree stumps or boulders, but these could only slightly block the pace of some knights.
The squad leaders of the Feihu Army are basically elite professionals. Wearing heavy armor, as long as they reach the city wall, they will not be killed in a short period of time even if they are surrounded by the enemy.
Then, the pressure on the other soldiers climbing the ladder will be reduced sharply.
Then, more and more tin cans will appear on the city walls.
The castle was breached faster than Perrault had imagined.
"Kill them all." Pero said that those who resist must be taught a lesson.
The knights faithfully carried out Perrault's mission and began a carnage.
There were not many people in a castle, but Pero did not enter the castle because the smell of blood in the castle was too strong.
The combat effectiveness of the army provided to him by Earl Feihu was much stronger than he had imagined, which also resulted in the knowledge he learned from military teachers and military command books passed down in his family being of no use.
All he had to do was give the order to attack, and everything would be over.
Of course, he did not forget the task assigned to him by his father this time, which was to stop Viscount Rand from mining the iron ore in his territory.
Perrault didn't know why his father was so obsessed with a little viscount.
He has been taking actions against Rand that are considered stupid by Perot.
However, as the second son, and as an heir who wanted to maintain his position as the first heir, he was not qualified to refuse his father's mission.
And although he looked down on Rand, a mere viscount, when he really thought about how to deal with him, he couldn't help but feel fear because of Rand's record.
He had truly witnessed the strength of the Flying Fox Army, but it was difficult to draw a specific conclusion about the strength of Rand's army without personally facing it on the battlefield.
But just looking at the battle record, it is clear that this is definitely not an army of serf rebels or small nobles that can be easily dealt with.
