Is it so easy for religion in another world to win?

When the whip was pulled down, there was a trace of blood.

Perhaps one day, she would become like her father, a cold-blooded killer without emotion, but at some point in her life, she decided she had had enough.

She escaped from the place that left her scarred, taking a certain family treasure with her.

"And when you can discover that you possess a certain trait, and then use this trait to an effect far beyond your original professional skills, you can become an advanced professional."

Elsa chuckled, the cold night wind cutting through her tight purple-black leather armor like a knife.

She folded her hands wrapped in hard leather armbands in front of her, and just as the bright moon in the sky was obscured by clouds and mist, Elsa disappeared from the spot.

It can be said that this is completely different from the previous Shunpo. She was clearly beside her, and the thief girl had been focusing on Elsa, but at that moment the moonlight dimmed.

Elsa disappeared silently, as if she had never been around.

And where Elsa was originally, a wooden arrow appeared. The wooden arrow bounced a few times and then fell to the ground.

Since there was no arrowhead and the bow was not drawn with much force, the wooden arrow bounced off the stones on the ground instead of piercing it.

The thief girl looked up, and saw a graceful figure wrapped in a hood standing on the observation deck of the military camp.

From the perspective of the thief girl, this figure appears exactly in the center of the moon in the sky. Due to the bright moonlight, the shadow of this figure is projected right on the thief girl, so she looks very dark, just a black shadow.

Elsa disappeared in a moment when the moonlight was blocked by clouds and fog, and everything was completely silent.

Lysa's arrow appeared at the moment when the bright moon reappeared and the clouds broke through the moon.

One after another, as if they had made an appointment.

The first arrow was not intended to cause damage, but to declare war, so Lysa only waited for a moment. However, Elsa was very surprised that Elsa could detect her in advance.

Elsa in the shadows and Lysa in the moonlight stood opposite each other. They both knew that this would be a fight that might end at the end, but would definitely involve personal grudges.

The thief girl, who didn't know what happened, was left at a loss.

The thief girl had seen Lysa in the tavern, but at this time, Lysa was wearing a hood and she was in the center of the bright moonlight, so she couldn't see it at all.

But this did not affect her clear understanding that the figure standing quietly on the observation deck at this moment, as if he did not care about anything in the world, was a strong man that she could not match.

This figure seemed to be about to fight with Elsa, but it didn't look like he was really an enemy.

But none of this was important. After being blown by the cold wind for a long time, the blushing thief girl covered her mouth, worried that her overly excited breathing would affect the duel.

She knew very well that she might never see a battle of this level again in her life.

Chapter 86 Whip, Dilemma

Elsa folded her hands in front of her chest. If she was holding a dagger at this time, the two hook-like daggers would be intertwined in front of her chest like soldier ants.

Although Elsa hated her time in the family.

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

“Be as light as a butterfly.”

However, since it was not a life and death battle at this time, Lysa was using wooden sticks without arrowheads as arrows, so Elsa naturally had no intention of pulling out the dagger.

Elsa disappeared again.

When he reappeared, he was already a little closer to the watchtower.

However, the clothes on the arms were somewhat damaged.

Lysa shot another arrow, this time hitting Elsa's left arm clothing, causing a small scratch on Elsa.

Even though he didn't use the skills of the elves, nor did he use any professional skills of the ranger, he just simply shot arrows, and the arrows he used were uneven and unstable wooden arrows.

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

There may even be some mercy here.

Elsa disappeared again, and since she had entered a blind spot, Lysa seemed to finally show off some of her ranger fighting skills.

In the moonlight, Lysa jumped from the top of the watchtower and shot on the way down.

Elsa, who originally wanted to rush up to the top of the watchtower and engage in close combat with Lysa, reacted very quickly. In other words, it was expected that Lysa would change position, as if ignoring inertia, she stopped, turned around, and dodged.

But at this moment, she discovered that this time it was a series of arrows, and the six arrows blocked all the spaces for shelter.

It's outrageous enough to be able to continuously shoot arrows at high speed, but this chain of arrows can also be precisely controlled to block the dodge direction.

And it seemed that the cold night wind was covering Lysa's arrows.

Elsa sighed slightly. Originally, she didn't want to use weapons, but now it seemed that there was no room to escape.

Without hesitation, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and cut open several wooden sticks that were about to fly in front of him.

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

Lysa in the distance shook the small wooden bow in her hand, indicating that she had run out of arrows, and then raised her fingers provocatively.

Elsa inserted the dagger into the sheath on her waist again, and rushed towards Lysa who landed lightly on the ground. This time she was faster than before, so fast that it seemed that the moonlight had no time to catch up with her figure. Almost in an instant, He rushed in front of Lesa.

One hand reached out, stabbing Lysa's chest in the shape of a knife.

Lysa took off the small whip that she had been carrying behind her waist. This small whip was used as a toy most of the time, but it didn't mean that it couldn't be used elsewhere.

The other hand blocked Elsa's knife, and the whip suddenly straightened and whipped Elsa's buttocks.

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

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

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

Elsa covered her buttocks. The short and restrained battle ended with her buttocks being whipped, and it seemed that she would receive additional punishment.

What Elsa couldn't accept the most was that she couldn't touch the limit of Lysa's strength at all. As for the punishment after stealing, she admitted that she deserved it. Although she didn't know what she stole specifically, she always felt that it was not a good thing.

After telling the little thief watching the fight over there not to talk nonsense, Olena led Elsa and Lysa into the tent.

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

Elsa took out a sticky little toy with a guilty conscience.

Rand's breath stagnated when he saw it, and Olena, who was originally very calm, suddenly opened her eyes wide when she saw this item.

Rand knew that Elsa's kleptomania was very unbelievable, and her stealing ability was also very unbelievable, but he didn't see such an unbelievable situation in the CG.

He was very glad that he didn't drink the juice, otherwise it would have sprayed out now: "Write it down this time, and let Lysa decide how to punish you after returning to the hideout."

Looking up at Lysa, who seemed to have nothing happened, and then looking at Elsa, whose pants were torn on her buttocks, revealing a bloodstain and the white skin around her: "You have no objection, right?"

Elsa wanted to speak, but met Lysa's eyes, so she had to say embarrassedly: "Okay, no objection."

What's the matter? Rand asked Lysa to get the toys back by herself, and warned her that it was dangerous now and she couldn't play around. After sighing for the nth time, he sat down in his seat.

Picked up the military documents that Olenna had just moved over and flipped through them.

Now the 5th Legion is in a clear disadvantage because of its larger number than the opponent, 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 on the opponent. Every two days, the opponent saves one more day's food.

This is a very serious problem. Although the military newspaper said that the 2nd Legion would soon come to support, and it was just right to encircle and destroy the 2nd Legion sent by the Third Prince, the current situation is that the 5th Legion has run out of food.

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

Was the math of the quartermaster taught by the physical education teacher?

TM expected to fight at least one winter battle, but TM only prepared food for half a month. Aren't they afraid of settlement afterwards?

Oh, thinking about it this way, it might be taught by the political teacher.

Maybe this is not a math problem.

The food and grass problem has always been a key issue in the history of war. Rand actually took a look at the food reserves before he set out. It looked very normal, but now he found that the amount of food and grass was not the same as the bill, and it didn't match the account!

No matter what the reason is, it doesn't help Rand's predicament.

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

Is it really necessary to abandon part of the population?

No, it is too late to reduce the population now. Due to the inconsistency between the food and the accounts, Rand has too little time to react. Even if the population is consumed, unless only one-tenth of the population is dead, the food problem cannot be solved at all.

…

At this time, the fourth prince, who was under house arrest in the manor, has received intelligence.

The people of the God of Struggle have already started the action. Now the noble territories of the second prince and the third prince have all been ignited by wars to varying degrees.

The fourth prince sat on the luxurious leather chair, took a sip of the aged wine, and showed a slightly crazy smile. As an illegitimate child, he has 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 and third princes dies, and that faction does not want to give up resistance, they can only choose him, the fourth prince with half royal blood.

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

Chapter 87 I am a regular army, but I can also be a robber

In fact, if the food shortage is not small, Rand can follow Cao Mengde's old story and borrow the heads of quartermasters or grain transport officers, and then he can reasonably reduce food rations and suppress the grievances of the soldiers.

But now the infantry regiment commanded by Rand is completely different. The ignorant conscripts below have no right to complain because they do not have the ability to mutiny.

But the problem now is that the food gap is too large. Unless Rand can create food, the problem cannot be solved.

Just when Rand was hesitating whether to launch a general attack, the black and brown earl came back.

He brought back a lot of food, furs, meat, and wealth.

With just one glance, Rand knew where these wealth came from.

Robbery.

In fact, the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom are already civilized. At least it is a proper monarchy country, and the nobles have a bottom line.

Further north, those countries close to the ice sea may have nothing to do with humans except that they look like human beings.

Eating raw meat and drinking human blood are commonplace, and robbing with longboats is even more common.

If it weren't for the threat of orcs and trolls, these barbarians would have no chance of joining other countries and becoming part of the Northern Alliance.

But this does not mean that the nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom will not rob.

As we all know, there is no money in participating in the war, at least the nobles cannot receive wages before they win.

Since the beginning of the feudal system, obligations have been set. If there is a war, the feudal lord will call for conscription, and the vassal needs to prepare his own weapons and food to participate in the war, which naturally has no money.

But it is not completely without benefits. After the war, or even during the war, the nobles can start to enjoy their military pay.

Well, that is to say, robbery.

Maybe in this era, every noble who is good at fighting is a qualified robber.

As a modern man in his previous life, Rand could not think of this immediately, but now, seeing the wealth and food brought back by the black and brown earl, he immediately understood the trick.

It seems that the quartermaster’s calculation of food and grass was not wrong, and the food was not enough.

If these corps want to survive on the front line, they either have to rob or simply reduce the number of people like the opposite 2nd Corps.

But in this way, the 5th Corps now has a huge advantage.

Now, the 5th Corps is fighting on the enemy’s territory!

Fighting on the enemy’s territory, although it loses the local advantage, is not familiar with the terrain, and has no support from the people, it can rob!

All of them are robbers, so Rand can be one too.

Even if Rand doesn't rob, his nobles will rob, and if Rand does it, he can give them a way to survive.

Because the den is not short of food, but people. The den had fallen to the point of buying slaves to fill the population before. Now the people in the territory of the three princes who don't know which nobles are also people!

Rand can rob money and people, although it still can't be called any morality.

But Rand can convince himself that he is saving people. If the black and brown earl leads people to rob, the strong smell of blood and burning ashes on them is proof that they not only rob, but also burn, kill and rob.

If Rand takes action, it will be at least better.

In fact, even if he can't convince himself, Rand will do it. Most of the time, Rand thinks he is a good person, but on the battlefield, kindness and righteousness are meaningless.

It is not just a saying that a merciful army cannot be commanded. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to one's own side. If it really comes to the point where it has to be done, Rand will order even the most cruel things.
