How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 197 : Dierly

"It's been two weeks, why is there still no word from the navy?"

Sitting on his iron throne, Demon Lord Karen muttered to himself sowhat strangely.

Even if the war was unfavorable, even if they were defeated, there should still be a response, right?

But why wasn't there even a ssage now?

It couldn't be that they were all dead, could it?

Karen thought about it and ca up with what he considered the most likely result—Dierly should have already landed on the eastern part of the human empire with his navy.

Thinking of this, he sowhat understood why Dierly hadn't responded.

He was probably planning to conquer the Iron Empire himself first, then directly wage civil war against him...

Karen smiled contemptuously.

He understood Dierly, knew he had always coveted his position as Demon Lord.

But well... no big problem.

Karen smiled as he looked at the [Holy Sword] beside him that emanated purple light.

He still couldn't forget that scene.

After the demon high priest prayed to the goddess for ninety-nine days, the Creation Goddess lowered this [Holy Sword] from the sky.

The holy sword was embedded in the large stone at the entrance to the Demon Lord's palace.

Demon soldiers who saw this scene wanted to pull it out, but couldn't.

Afterward, several soldiers tried to pull the sword, but ultimately none succeeded.

Finally, under the explanation of the demon high priest, who served as the goddess's spokesperson in the world, everyone finally understood what this was about.

The [Holy Sword] was given by the goddess to the destined [Hero] among the demons to destroy humanity.

Only that destined [Hero] could pull out the [Holy Sword].

After that, every demon in the Demon King's castle tried to pull this [Holy Sword], but ultimately no one succeeded.

Including Dierly, who was considered second only to the Demon Lord.

But in the end, only he had pulled it out under the amazed gazes of all demons.

Now Karen recalled Dierly desperately trying to pull this sword but completely unable to, and wanted to laugh.

With his abilities, he dared challenge him?

But well... this guy did help him successfully resolve the mariti threat.

This way humans couldn't use sea routes to transport supplies.

After calculating that the mariti threat should have been resolved, Karen loudly said to his subordinate:

"Alright! Go gather all the demon generals!"

"Now I'll lead the land army to destroy humanity!"

Looking at the [Holy Sword] beside him, Karen felt extrely confident!

Although his direct troops had been given to Dierly, Karen still had a full 150,000 troops!

Now humans must have suffered heavy damage under Dierly's naval assault and definitely deployed their main forces to the west!

He only needed to attack them when their northern forces were weak!

The current Iron Empire was just a house about to collapse—as long as he went up and gave it another kick, the Iron Empire would imdiately be destroyed!

Destroying the descendants of those humans who escaped ten thousand years ago within two months was no problem!

He would correct the mistakes the previous Demon Lord made!

...

"Hah... hah... why did it beco like this..."

After experiencing over eighty defeats large and small within less than a month, Karen finally fled back to the Demon King's castle.

Looking at his demon army that had been reduced to less than one-tenth, Karen muttered to himself.

Why exactly did it beco like this?

In what he originally thought was the currently empty northern part of the human empire, the largest human army he had ever seen in so many years appeared!

Moreover... those guys held weapons modeled after dragon claws that could directly penetrate demon shields!

This... how was this possible?

Most terrifyingly... that damned woman... the weapon in her hand that was so sturdy even the [Holy Sword] couldn't destroy it...

And that song that made demons feel powerless throughout their bodies...

The battle he originally thought could be won quickly, why did it beco like this?

The war had only lasted a month so far... how did it beco like this...

Why... couldn't even he, blessed by the goddess, defeat those humans who escaped under that man's leadership ten thousand years ago...

...

"Sigh, Steer, you can probably rest in peace now."

Looking at the portrait hanging in her war room of that beautiful, woman-like man who led the first batch of humans to escape demon enslavent and establish the Iron Empire, Alexandra sighed from her heart.

This battle went more smoothly than she had imagined.

In just one month, the Iron Empire had completely annihilated the demon navy, and the land army had continuously crushed the demons on the front, trapping the demons' last remaining forces tightly within the demon capital.

Alexandra knew—the Iron Empire's greatest wish since its founding was about to beco reality in her hands.

...

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

Karen gathered his last remaining thirty thousand demon warriors and gave his final speech.

"Although so situations we couldn't predict occurred on the frontal battlefield, we still have hope!"

"General Dierly's navy must have already occupied the humans' rear! The humans fighting us now have simply abandoned their rear!"

"Moreover, everyone has witnessed how sturdy the demon capital's walls are now!"

"Human catapults definitely cannot harm our walls!"

"We just need to defend the walls!"

"When General Dierly's navy attacks from the humans' rear, we'll sally forth to et them, forming a pincer attack! Then we'll definitely be able to annihilate the human army!"

No matter what, these walls built with Blood Clan sturdy materials couldn't possibly be destroyed by human catapults, right?

After finishing his speech, Karen looked out from the walls and indeed saw what he wanted to see.

The humans hadn't attacked the city, just completed their encampnt outside the walls and stopped their actions.

What did this an? This ant humans definitely knew—they couldn't break through these sturdy walls!

...

"Master, why not order an attack?"

Nina, wearing a maid outfit, asked sowhat puzzled.

You know, the Iron Empire now had unprecedented advantages!

Whether in troop numbers or combat power, an unimaginable power gap had appeared between humans and demons.

Moreover, there were those powerful siege weapons sent by the little master...

Facing Nina's question, Alexandra just smiled and shook her head.

"Nina, have you forgotten our purpose?"

Nina was stunned.

"Our... purpose?"

Alexandra nodded.

"Yes, our purpose when we ca."

Nina asked sowhat puzzled:

"Isn't our purpose to kill all the demons? Then why can't we attack now?"

Alexandra just smiled mysteriously.

"Hmm hmm~ Co put your ear over here~"

Nina curiously brought her ear over.

Alexandra smiled and whispered a few words to her. Nina's expression imdiately froze!

Then she imdiately showed an expression of sudden understanding.

"Master... this plan... is really too ruthless..."

...

Waking up in the morning to find humans still hadn't attacked, Karen was in an excellent mood.

However.

When he walked onto the city walls, his good mood imdiately disappeared!

The humans... last night... built an outer city around the demon capital?

Looking at the walls the humans had built overnight outside the demon capital, completely surrounding it, he was imdiately stunned!
