How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 249 : Moonlight

"Hey! You're rchants, right! The Holy Capital is in complete chaos right now! You should hurry to the city center and find sowhere to hide!"

In the surging crowd, a strong man who looked completely different from the thin and weak citizens around him saw a pink-haired girl followed by dozens of tall n moving against the flow of people, and imdiately called out to Elashia with good intentions.

Although civilians wouldn't need to worry about being attacked or robbed by Northern Fire soldiers, this city had indeed fallen into complete chaos.

A wealthy young lady bringing a group of servants here could indeed easily encounter accidents.

Elashia smiled.

"Uncle, don't worry about us. You should hurry and rendezvous with Miss Catherine."

"Ah!"

The man's heart jumped in alarm!

How did she know his identity?

Seeing the man's reaction, Elashia covered her mouth and laughed softly:

"Don't worry, we're allies."

"Oh..."

The man finally understood why this pink-haired girl was leading people against the direction of the crowd's movent.

Although he didn't know why their side suddenly had another unit, he also knew now wasn't the ti to ask these questions.

"Then... I'll go first."

Elashia smiled.

"Go ahead."

Looking at the distant building whose features were already visible, Elashia couldn't help but show a confident smile again.

She was the best candidate to execute this plan...

Soon, the bright moonlight would be able to visit this land again...

...

Half an hour later, in a forest park in the Holy Capital.

"Catherine, I think you also know you would encounter here."

Themis, with a large group of people standing behind her, gently drew the long blade in her hand and pointed it at Catherine, who stood alone opposite her, holding a sharp dagger.

Catherine, who normally didn't like to talk, uncharacteristically began to chat leisurely with her forr master.

"Yes, so you also know—I will definitely die here."

Catherine sat down, smiling as she looked at Themis across from her.

Themis also sat down like Catherine, also smiling as she looked at her forr proud disciple.

"Mm, I understand what you an. Before killing you, let us master and disciple sit down and have a good chat."

Themis smiled and said:

"I knew you would definitely bring a large group of people charging into this forest with great fanfare, then have your soldiers disguise themselves and leave here later. Am I right?"

Catherine nodded.

"Master, you're correct."

"Wasn't it you who told back then? Compared to specific terror, abstract terror can cause large-scale panic more effectively."

After all, those people lurking in the Holy Capital disguised as [Night Shadow] assassins were all ordinary soldiers and spies with average combat ability. Although they were nurous, they actually had no real combat power.

Since Catherine wanted to create terror, she couldn't really have them all attack the Blood Moon Generator's guards.

After all, they couldn't possibly win.

So Catherine thought of a clever thod.

Have the combat units charge into the forest park very close to the Blood Moon Generator with great fanfare.

This park with its enormous area could allow Catherine to create considerable panic...

After all, no one knew when or where this group of enemies with unknown combat capabilities would charge out from.

Even Themis, who had absolute understanding of her, couldn't stop her.

Because even Themis couldn't know when and where she and those actors would charge in from.

"Very good... truly my good disciple..."

Flicking her ice-blue battle robe, Themis continued with a smile:

"I think Northern Fire's battle this ti should also be designed by you."

"After all... Ileina is just a little kid. She can serve as your spiritual leader, but she absolutely couldn't co up with such a battle plan..."

"Using this mix of truth and deception in battle intelligence to confuse the enemy is indeed what you like to do."

Themis stood up, smiling at Catherine who also stood up:

"I think in your plan, this part about attacking the Blood Moon Generator is probably also ant to confuse us?"

Catherine nodded.

"Worthy of being my master, you've seen through my plan completely."

"Releasing news about destroying the Blood Moon Generator is just a decoy to attract the Holy Court's attention."

"Our real purpose is to draw your forces here, to prepare for the real assassination operation."

Themis nodded.

"Very good, very good..."

"You charge over with great fanfare saying you want to destroy the Blood Moon Generator, but actually your real purpose is just to create panic..."

"Even if we see through your sche and see this group of actors you brought disguised as [Night Shadow] assassins, the Blood Slave Army will still panic."

"After all, the Blood Moon Generator is related to the Holy Court's survival..."

"And if we don't send forces to capture you, then our army's morale will be affected."

"But since we send forces to catch you... our strength becos dispersed."

Themis looked around at the surrounding forest.

"Moreover, you made an extrely wise decision—after gathering with great fanfare in the city, you charged into this forest park."

"This way, your threat beca elusive."

"And even if we successfully capture or kill you all, it would be difficult to make our people believe the threat has been eliminated."

Themis pointed her long blade at Catherine again and asked:

"Am I right, my dear good disciple?"

Catherine nodded again.

"You're absolutely right. My thoughts truly have no possibility of concealnt before you."

Themis smiled.

"And this is why I can catch you, Catherine."

"Think about it, if you were , what would you do?"

Catherine answered without hesitation:

"Capture , or kill . As long as you kill who represents Night Shadow, you can make people believe you've successfully defeated us."

Themis smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes... worthy of being my good disciple..."

After speaking, Themis said nothing more, just looked at Catherine.

Catherine also just looked at Themis.

Catherine didn't know why her master, who treated her like a daughter, would stand on the Blood Clan's side.

But in previous contests between [Night Shadow] and [Human Hunt] , she discovered—if she asked her master this question, her master would suddenly lose the desire to talk with her and imdiately begin fighting.

She didn't know why this was.

But she knew she might never get an answer...

Catherine pulled out a whetstone from her pocket and began sharpening the dagger in her hand.

Seeing Catherine suddenly start sharpening her blade in front of her, Themis smiled:

"I think when you said goodbye to your good companions, you must have been constantly sharpening your blade too."

"You don't need to sharpen it in front of . You know—your blade doesn't need sharpening at all."

"I know you too well... Catherine..."

"Every ti you feel at a loss, you pull out your whetstone and start looking down to sharpen your blade."

"I think... when saying goodbye to your good companions, you must have felt very sad."

"You definitely used the sound of sharpening to cover your inner feelings, and hoped to use your final silence to prevent your good companions from being overly saddened by your death... right?"

Themis aid her long blade at Catherine.

"Alright, let everything end."

"Since you made such a plan to sacrifice yourself, you should also be prepared to die heroically..."

"Next, you should also..."

"Boom!"

Suddenly! With a deafening explosion behind Themis, bright moonlight instantly covered the earth!

Everyone whose eyes had grown accustod to the long dimness was imdiately dazzled by this sudden bright light!

Among these people, the first to react was Themis!

She looked up...

The blood moon... had disappeared...

Hanging in the sky... was a white moon radiating gentle light...

Everyone knew what the disappearance of the blood moon ant...

The Blood Moon Generator... had been destroyed!

This...

Completely changing from her previous confident appearance, she pointed at Catherine with trembling fingers.

"You... is this your sche!"

Truth mixed with deception, real mixed with fake...

Could it be... Catherine's real purpose... was really the Blood Moon Generator!

The previous conversation between Catherine and herself... was actually all just a ans to delay ti!

Could Catherine... have grown to such a calculating degree in just a few short years...
