How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 201 : The Tables Have Turned!
"This must be what those novel writers call 'coming full circle'......"
An Iron Empire military officer well-versed in history gazed at the Outer City beyond the Demon Capital, murmuring sowhat sentintally.
Magic in this world is divided into two branches.
One branch is called "Blessing Magic."
The power source of this magic cos from divine gifts, only obtainable by the goddess's favored ones.
And this power is further divided into two branches.
One branch is the demons' 'magic,' and the other is the blood clan's 'blood sorcery.'
Beyond blessing magic lies what people call "Four Elents Magic"—magic independently created by the life forms of this world based on the world's fundantal principles and energy operation chanics.
The magic used by humans belongs to this branch.
The first person to grant humans the ability to use magic, the founder of the Iron Empire, when he led the enslaved people to the land where the Iron Empire now stands, used what current mages unanimously consider the "most mundane" spells—[Gather Earth into Walls] and [Wall Reinforcent]—to build temporary city walls, then relied on the walls' defensive advantage to defeat the pursuing demons.
That very battle established the Iron Empire's existence and began the ten-thousand-year feud between humans and demons.
Now, the feud between humans and demons is about to end. Who could have imagined that what would help humans completely annihilate the demons would be... that "most mundane" magic from over ten thousand years ago......
......
"Are the siege forces ready?"
Alexandra asked Nina beside her with a confident smile.
After today, the feud between humans and demons would end completely.
And she had been preparing for this battle for countless years......
Whether tactics, magic, or army structure......
All had been waiting for such a day......
"We're completely ready, just waiting for your command!"
Nina was also extrely excited at this mont!
After this battle, "demons" would beco nothing but a historical term on the Abyss Marsh continent!
And their century-long struggle would finally reach its true 'conclusion'!
Alexandra nodded.
Today, not a single demon would escape this city......
Alexandra slowly flew into the air.
Using a voice that could be heard by all two hundred thousand soldiers on the battlefield, she declared loudly:
"I declare—the final battle of Operation 'Demon Extermination' begins now!"
After Alexandra's shout ended, the soldiers also erupted in trendous roars!
They all knew—the feud between humans and demons would end completely after this battle!
The voices of over two hundred thousand people roaring shook the heavens, as if making even the sturdy demon walls begin to tremble......
......
"We're done for. Looks like this ti it's real trouble......"
Standing on the hundred-ter-high wall he had paid a fortune to have the blood clan build for him, Karen slumped powerlessly to the ground.
Now he finally understood—what it ant to be caught in a web of one's own making.
Previously, considering that the demon population wasn't as large as humans', he had specifically designed this Demon Capital modeled after human city walls to be much smaller than human cities when he had the blood clan craftsn build it.
Who could have thought—this would beco an opportunity for humans to use another temporary wall to trap him completely!
However... there wasn't really a need to despair completely.
After all, human siege ladders couldn't possibly reach such walls.
To avoid being killed by that woman's surprise attack like the previous Demon Lord, he had specifically paid a fortune to have blood clan craftsn build this wall over a hundred ters high!
Human siege ladders absolutely couldn't reach it!
Moreover... Karen looked at the [Holy Sword] in his hand.
Even that woman hadn't been able to kill him while he wielded the [Holy Sword] in their battles.
Otherwise, in so many battles, that cruel and rciless woman would have killed him long ago......
So why hadn't she been able to kill him in previous battles?
She simply couldn't kill him! Was there even a need to ask?
Looking at the massive wall beneath him and the [Holy Sword] in his hand, Karen felt that no matter what, he could at least defend the Demon Capital.
After all, no matter how fierce Alexandra's siege was, they still needed to eat......
The Demon Capital had long prepared livestock farms of humans and other races that could feed the demons inside for a long ti... These farms could sustain the defending demons for at least three years!
If it ca to a war of attrition, he really wasn't afraid!
......
Alexandra flew into the sky, looking down at the demon city walls below her, and couldn't help but smile playfully.
How curious......
She wondered how long these demons could hold out......
One day? Half a day? Or couldn't they even last a few hours?
So she began chanting the spell she had prepared for countless years, to be used in this final battle between humans and demons.
She called this spell—"Earth-Shaking."
As Alexandra chanted, before long, a devastating earthquake swept across the battlefield!
"Rumble rumble rumble rumble......"
The terrifying force made even the Iron Empire soldiers standing on the ground struggle to keep their footing!
Seeing that her master's spell had begun taking effect, Nina imdiately ordered the Iron Armor Army using Magic Crossbows:
"Crossbow teams one through fifty! Aim at the city gate! Volley fire!"
She knew—facing such sturdy walls, only the combination of volleys and earthquakes could destroy them!
"Three! Two! One! Fire!"
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "......"
After Nina's countdown ended, over fifty golden-glowing magic arrows shot toward the Demon Capital's gate at unimaginable speed!
Seeing those giant arrows gleaming with golden light, Nina revealed an undisguised smile.
From her exchanges with Knight Commander Cecilia of the Elasia Empire, she had learned—if crossbow bolts glead with golden light, it ant the users' spirits were extrely high!
Moreover, such bolts would have even more devastating destructive power!
"Boom!"
The soldiers fired many Magic Crossbows with many air-bursting sounds, but there was only one explosion sound......
This completely proved—these Magic Crossbow bolts had hit the wall at exactly the sa mont!
Massive dust clouds enveloped the demons' gate.
Seeing that the attack on the gate was complete, Alexandra also descended from the air.
She knew—there was absolutely no "smoke without damage" law here.
No matter how sturdy the wall, it absolutely couldn't withstand such dense explosions while simultaneously experiencing an earthquake......
Before long, the dust settled......
What remained—was a gate with a gaping hole dozens of ters wide!
Seeing the gate now sporting a breach, Alexandra flew into the air and waved her hand toward the soldiers below, declaring loudly:
"Soldiers! I permit you to cheer!"
Instantly! The soldiers' cheers resounded through the heavens!
"Long live!"
"Long live the Iron Empire! Long live humanity!"
"Long live our founding father His Majesty Stiel! Long live Empress Alexandra!"
Everyone now knew—the war would end today!
Looking at her armies below, already prepared and ready, Alexandra showed an extrely expectant smile.
She wondered how long the demons could endure......
She knew—the current hole in the wall wasn't yet large enough for soldiers to easily charge into demon territory.
After all, there were a full two hundred thousand troops here.
A direct assault might cause them considerable losses.
So she actually had no intention of storming the city.
Quite the opposite—she wanted the demons to storm out!
