461 The Tactics Flaw (1/2)
Simultaneously, a group of elven warriors remained behind the front vine wall, killing Wingrats ceaselessly.
A single long strip of vine could be seen wrapped around each other waist. The other end of the vines was held by another group of elven warriors, stationed on top of the vine walls.
Once the preparation was completed, Princess Thessalia ordered, ”Pull them out now!”
The group of defending warriors was immediately dragged out by the vines yanking them.
Their body quickly flew outside the walled-off cage as Wingrats began pouring in after the front vine wall was dispelled.
Princess Thessalia stood atop the trees and solemnly gazed down at the Wingrats quickly poured into the walled-off cage for a moment before she barked, ”Kill them all!”
The rows of elven warriors lined up atop the walls immediately manipulated their vines to lacerate everything with the walled-off cage.
Some distance away from the frontlines, Leon arrived with Aria, Princess Faelyn and witnessed the sight before them.
”Oh? This is a pretty interesting tactic.” Leon shortly praised Princess Thessalia's strategy while they approached the area.
As they drew closer, Princess Faelyn shortly discovered the commander of the elven warriors and pleasantly exclaimed, ”It's my third eldest sister!”
Although Leon's praise had been directed at Princess Thessalia, Princess Faelyn still felt pride welling up inside her.
She was proud of her sister.
At the same time, Aria quietly studied the battle formation.
”To funnel the Wingrats into an enclosed area and slaughter the rats from three different sides… This is a good strategy for killing the rats and reducing their numbers quickly. However, I don't think this is a good method…” Aria commented softly.
Leon nodded.
”There's a fatal flaw to this strategy.” He said.
High up in the trees, a person overheard Leon's comment and immediately snorted. The person leaped down with a heavy thud before gazing into Leon's eyes sternly.
”And what kind of fatal flaw is that, human? Who are you to judge my tactics?” Princess Thessalia said, glaring at Leon.
”Third Eldest Sister.”
Princess Faelyn greeted from the side, causing Princess Thessalia to turn over in surprise, temporarily ignoring Leon.
They quickly held hands before Princess Thessalia asked excitedly, ”Baby sister! Why didn't you tell me when you got back?”
”Didn't I tell you to stop calling me that? You're embarrassing me.” Princess Faelyn complained softly with a pout while sneaking a peek at Leon's expression.
”I just returned to the tribe earlier. How could I have informed you?”
She shortly returned her attention to Leon and Aria at his side before she asked, ”And who are these two people?”
After Princess Faelyn did a short introduction of both sides, Princess Thessalia nodded at them in acknowledgment. Leon offered a handshake in greeting but was coldly rejected with a ridiculing look.
Leon retracted his hand awkwardly, starting to wonder if the entire elven royal family despised the idea of shaking his hand—the hand of a human.
However, Princess Faelyn quickly pulled him to the side apologetically.
”My third elder sister is not targeting you intentionally… she has a superiority complex and looks down on all men, and not just humans.” She quietly whispered in Leon's ears.
Her gently cool breath caused his heart to itch.
Nevertheless, Leon quietly nodded, expressing his understanding. He did not take Princess Thessalia's rejection to heart.
Princess Thessalia frowned and pull Princess Faelyn away before glaring at Leon fiercely.
”You said my strategy is flawed. Explain.” She demanded.
Even after learning Leon's identity as the crown prince of the Crawford Empire from her baby sister's introduction, Princess Thessalia's attitude did not change much.
