How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 248 : Blood Moon Generator

"Phew... so cold."

On the morning of the dawn assembly, the north wind howled, and Elashia, wrapped in a prepared sable coat, was shivering.

The knights beside her were also trembling in this cold wind.

The Holy Kingdom's winter was really cold...

"Speaking of which, why are you all shaking like this?"

In the entire group, only Dorothy, wearing just a thin layer of leather armor, looked relatively normal.

Her adjutant looked at her speechlessly.

Could soone who could use [Qi] for warmth please not speak?

Previously, these knights actually liked to use [Qi] for warmth in winter.

Because this thod didn't actually cause excessive consumption.

However, today Elashia had keenly told everyone—fighting might begin in the next few days.

So to avoid running out of [Qi] in sudden battles, except for Dorothy whose internal [Qi] recovery speed exceeded heating consumption, everyone had to temporarily stop using [Qi] for warmth.

Standing in the inn's courtyard, Elashia said to the surrounding knights:

"Everyone, wear as many clothes as possible now."

"Before long, a blizzard will co."

Elashia rembered this weather all too clearly.

As the saying goes, all scenic descriptions are expressions of emotion.

In literary works, scenery descriptions often appear to highlight character emotions.

And this blizzard appeared precisely to contrast Catherine's death...

However, for the current Elashia, it wasn't like that...

Cold was really cold...

...

"Officer, what's happening?"

A citizen thin as a bamboo pole looked at those soldiers rushing desperately from the city gate area and asked one who seed relatively calm.

"War! War!"

That soldier also seed to have lost all strength, sitting down beside the citizen.

"Ah! War?"

The citizen was startled.

Could it be a bandit attack?

"This... are we being attacked by bandits?"

The soldier nodded while panting heavily.

"Right... fire bandits attacked the Holy Capital..."

"Oh."

The fear on the citizen's face imdiately disappeared.

Except in official Holy Court newspapers, Northern Fire soldiers had never attacked civilians, never taken any civilian property, and wouldn't even accept gifts freely given by supporters.

No matter what, at least as an ordinary person, his safety wasn't a problem.

Looking at the soldiers fleeing desperately toward the city center, he asked the soldier resting beside him sowhat gloatingly:

"So... did the officers win?"

His question made that soldier's expression sowhat ugly.

"Of... of course we won!"

The citizen asked with a smile:

"Oh?"

"Why are you running backward after winning?"

The soldier beca sowhat angry at the question.

Knowing he couldn't openly attack civilians in the Holy Capital, he rembered yesterday's [Blood Report] and had a bright idea:

"What do you know! This is a victorious strategic withdrawal!"

...

"Oh? It seems the ti for our sortie has arrived."

Dorothy, with a relaxed smile on her face, looked through the inn's topmost window at the city already thrown into chaos by soldiers, smiling and talking to herself.

Finally, the ti for easy pickings had co!

Dorothy rushed downstairs in a flash, shouting loudly to the knights and Elashia waiting on standby below:

"Everyone! The ti has co!"

"Blood Slave Army deserters have already thrown the entire city into chaos!"

Elashia sat up.

Her little face also wore the sa relaxed smile.

This battle wasn't like the previous ones.

Elashia indeed couldn't handle goblins and magical beasts.

But when it ca to dealing with humans...

Then Elashia was no longer sleepy!

Although she stood on humanity's side, "Elashia" was the character best at dealing with humans in the entire ga!

"Good!"

Elashia looked at the ambitious knights around her.

"Next, act according to plan!"

"Yes!"

...

"Soldiers, stay alert!"

"According to the latest intelligence! The fire bandits may have already broken through the city gates! They could attack us at any ti!"

Below a massive building, a soldier in blood-colored armor loudly commanded over a hundred soldiers in padded armor around him.

"Pay attention to the keys in your hands! If you lose your keys in the chaos, you're finished!"

In the Holy Kingdom, the military structure was basically similar to other countries.

High-level combat power and basic combat power were managed separately.

This both strengthened the army's combat effectiveness and ensured the army could be firmly controlled by leaders.

But only this place was different.

The security force responsible for guarding the "Blood Moon Generator" was oddly a mixed unit of Holy Tribunal Army and Blood Slave Army soldiers.

Although the Holy Tribunal Army leaders as security force commanders weren't nurous, just a few people, it was enough to show how strange this unit was.

And the Blood Slave Army soldiers who ford the main body of the force weren't many either, appearing to number only over a hundred.

Why such an important facility was protected by so few troops had always been a question Holy Capital residents couldn't understand...

After completing his subordinates' briefing, to ease tension, several Holy Tribunal Army soldiers gathered together.

A short Holy Tribunal Officer said nervously:

"Speaking of which, do you think we'll really be attacked here? The intelligence the fire bandits released was to attack us..."

However, a tall Holy Tribunal Officer smiled and shook his head.

He clasped his hands together, smiling at the surrounding Holy Tribunal Officers:

"Everyone, please don't be too nervous."

"The Blood Goddess will protect us..."

Before he could finish, another Holy Tribunal Officer rudely interrupted him:

"Forget it! It's just us few here! No need to pretend!"

The fact that no one believed the Holy Court's modified doctrine was indisputable.

As Holy Tribunal Officers, they still needed to pretend to believe sowhat in public, but privately had no faith in these doctrines whatsoever.

The tall Holy Tribunal Officer, after being interrupted, said sowhat dissatisfied:

"Don't be hasty! Can't I speak properly?"

With that, he showed a serious expression.

"Look, although the enemy's released ssage is indeed to attack us, the Holy Court surprisingly didn't send troops to help us guard the Blood Moon Generator."

"Don't you think this is very strange? When the Blood Moon Generator is so important."

The surrounding Holy Tribunal Officers nodded.

Indeed abnormal.

The tall Holy Tribunal Officer smiled.

"Look, what's the thod for opening a 'safe'?"

"Using violence, or using keys, right?"

Pointing to the building behind him, he smiled.

"First, a 'safe' built with such solid materials is almost impossible to destroy by violence, right."

"And using keys to open it... that's even more impossible..."

"Look, the 'safe' requires over a hundred keys in the hands of the Blood Slave Army soldiers guarding the safe to all turn simultaneously to open."

"But these keys are extrely fragile—Blood Slave Army soldiers can directly break the keys when they discover danger, making it impossible to open the 'safe.'"

"Northern Fire's high command must know this too."

"So... attacking the Blood Moon Generator is definitely just a feint..."

The surrounding Holy Tribunal Officers nodded repeatedly after hearing his analysis.

It made a lot of sense.

Since Northern Fire wouldn't attack here, they were definitely safe.

"Hey, wait, speaking of which, where is Themis?"

A Holy Tribunal Army officer suddenly asked.

"Uh... she seed to be here just now."

It was said that to bolster morale, the renowned [Human Hunt] security force would also co to help them...

But where were the security force and Themis?

Why had they suddenly disappeared?

A Blood Slave Army officer ca over and saluted them.

"Themis said she knows what she should do and told us not to worry."

The Holy Tribunal Officers nodded.

"Oh, alright then."

That was the renowned captain of the [Human Hunt] security force—her actions were definitely without problem!
