Chapter 88 Whip, Dilemma

Elsa crossed her hands in front of her chest. If she held a dagger at this time, the two hook-like daggers would be intertwined in front of her chest to form the shape of a soldier ant's claws.

Although Elsa hated her time in the family.

But it must be said that it was the family's bloody education and cruel training that allowed Elsa to reach the highest level at this age.

"Be as light as a butterfly."

However, since this was not a life-and-death battle, Lisa used wooden sticks without arrowheads as arrows, and Elsa naturally had no intention of pulling out the dagger.

Elsa disappeared again.

When it appeared again, it was already much closer to the watchtower.

But the clothes on his arms were a little damaged.

Ryza shot another arrow, this time hitting Erza's left arm, causing a small scratch on her.

Even though he didn't use any of the elves' skills or any of the ranger's professional skills, and was just doing simple archery, the arrows he used were still uneven and unstable wooden arrows.

But it still brushed against Elsa who was moving in such an outrageous way.

There might even be some mercy here.

Elsa disappeared again, and since she had entered a blind spot, Ryza seemed to have finally shown some of her fighting skills as a ranger.

In the moonlight, Lisa jumped from the top of the watchtower and then shot as she fell.

Elsa, who originally wanted to rush to the top of the watchtower to engage in close combat with Ryza, reacted quickly, or rather, she expected Ryza to change her position. As if ignoring inertia, she stopped, turned around, and dodged.

But at this moment, she discovered that this time it was a chain of six arrows, blocking all space for escape.

Being able to shoot arrows continuously at high speed is already outrageous enough, but this string of arrows can actually be precisely controlled to block the direction of dodging.

And it seemed as if the cold night wind was providing cover for Lisa's arrows.

Elsa sighed slightly. She didn't want to use her weapon at first, but now it seemed that there was no room to dodge.

Without any hesitation, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and cut the several wooden sticks that were about to fly towards him.

If it were normal arrows instead of this totally unsuitable stick, she might have had several arrows stuck in her body.

In the distance, Lisa shook the small wooden bow in her hand, indicating that she had run out of arrows, and then hooked her finger provocatively.

Elsa once again inserted the dagger into the small sheath at her waist and rushed towards Lisa who had landed lightly on the ground. This time she was even faster than before, so fast that it seemed that the moonlight could not keep up with her figure. In almost an instant, she rushed in front of Lisa.

He stretched out one hand, stabbing it straight into Lisa's chest in the shape of a knife.

Lisa took off the small whip that she had been carrying around her waist. This small whip was used as a toy most of the time, but it did not mean that it could not be used in other places.

He used his other hand to block Elsa's knife attack, and suddenly straightened the whip, whipping it towards Elsa's buttocks.

"Stop it." It was Olenna who spoke. Although both parties in the fight tried hard to restrain themselves, they could only barely stop making noise.

But Olenna noticed the commotion outside in the tent, so she came out to mediate.

"Elsa, Lord Rand said he would punish you personally."

Elsa covered her bottom, the brief and restrained confrontation ended with her bottom being whipped, and it looked like she would receive additional punishment.

What Elsa couldn't accept the most was that she had no idea of ​​the limits of Lisa's strength. As for the punishment after stealing, she admitted that she deserved it. Although she didn't know what she had stolen, she always felt that it was not a good thing.

After telling the little thief who was watching the fight over there not to say anything, Olenna took Elsa and Lisa into the tent.

Rand poured himself a glass of mixed juice and said, "What did you steal again? It will make Lysa chase you and beat you up."

Elsa guiltily pulled out a squishy little toy.

Rand's breathing stagnated when he saw it, and Olenna, who had been very calm, suddenly opened her eyes wide when she saw this item.

Rand knew that Elsa's kleptomania was incredible, and her stealing ability was equally incredible, but he had never seen such an incredible situation in the CG.

He was very glad that he didn't drink the juice, otherwise it would have sprayed out now: "Make a note of this, and let Lisa decide how to punish you when we return to the den."

He looked up at Lisa who seemed like nothing had happened, and then looked at Elsa whose pants were torn at the buttocks, revealing a bloodstain and the surrounding white skin: "You have no objection, right?"

Elsa wanted to speak, but when she met Lisa's eyes, she could only say awkwardly, "Okay, no problem."

What's going on? Rand asked Lisa to get the toy by herself, and warned her that it was dangerous and she couldn't play with it. Then he sighed for the nth time and sat down in his seat.

He picked up the military documents that Olena had just brought over and opened it to take a look.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Now the 5th Legion is in a clear disadvantage because it has more people than the enemy, and this disadvantage is still expanding.

The reason is simple. The 5th Legion consumes more food every day than the opponent.

There are less than 6,000 people on our side, and less than 4,000 people on the opposite side. Every two days, the opposite side will save one more day's worth of food.

This is a very serious problem. Although the military newspaper said that the 2nd Army would soon come to support and encircle and destroy the 2nd Army sent by the Third Prince, the current situation is that the 5th Army does not have enough food.

Rand was very curious. Why was such a simple food problem not calculated clearly before the expedition?

Did the quartermaster learn math from the physical education teacher? They expected to fight a winter battle, but they only prepared food for half a month. Aren't they afraid of being liquidated later? Oh, come to think of it, it might have been taught by the political science teacher.

Maybe this isn't just a math problem.

The issue of food and fodder has always been a key issue in the history of war. Before Rand set out, he actually took a look at the food reserves, which seemed to be normal. But now he actually checked and found that the amount of food and fodder was not what was on the bill! No matter what the reason was, it did not help Rand's predicament.

Now it seems that we can only try to see if we can break through the enemy's legion and grab their food. However, the enemy is not only on the defensive, but also has the advantage of being familiar with the terrain and having a smaller number of people. If we attack head-on, our chances of winning are not high.

Is it really necessary to abandon part of the population? No, it is too late to reduce the population now. Since the food and fodder do not match the records in the accounts, Rand has too little time to react. Even if the population is consumed, unless only one tenth of them die, there is no way to solve the food problem.

…

At this time, the fourth prince, who was under house arrest in the manor, had received the tip-off.

The members of the God of Struggle sect have already begun to act, and now the noble territories of both the Second Prince and the Third Prince factions have been engulfed in flames of war to varying degrees.

The fourth prince sat on a luxurious leather chair, took a sip of aged wine, and revealed a slightly crazy smile. As an illegitimate child, he had been shrouded in a shadow since childhood. His brothers did not bully him, but ignored him.

It was as if his half brother had never existed.

But now, the throne is no longer so far away. He only needs to find an opportunity. As long as one of the second prince and the third prince dies, and that faction does not want to give up resistance, they can only choose him, the fourth prince who has half royal blood.

And the chaos brought by the God of Struggle will create this opportunity.
