How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 374 : Someone's Going to Have a Sleepless Night

"But... when I told Adeline this at the ti, Adeline hugged and said—precisely because I was so indispensable to her, that's why she reacted so strongly when I was injured."

"So... Empress Elashia, the point I want to make is right here."

Caroline looked seriously at Elashia, who was still keeping her head down.

"You only know how important Lady Ileina is to you, how important victory in war is to everyone in the Holy Kingdom, but do you know how important you are to Lady Ileina?"

"I think I don't even need to say it—you are everything in the world to Lady Ileina."

"So... Empress Elashia, please don't be so downcast just because you might take up a tiny bit of Lady Ileina's attention on the battlefield."

"What you've helped us with... is far more than we could ever repay."

"Plus your past with Lady Ileina in Elasia... how can you demand that Lady Ileina not care so much about you?"

...

"Shia! You're back!"

Seeing that Elashia had finally returned, Ileina imdiately jumped up from the table.

Seeing that Elashia, who had just gone out to sulk, had finally co back, Ileina quickly followed Caroline's thod of coaxing Adeline and said to Elashia:

"Shia! I was wrong!"

Don't ask what she did wrong—anyway, she was just wrong!

"Lena..."

Looking at Ileina who rushed to her without any consideration and shouted "I was wrong," Elashia, whose mood had been sowhat heavy, imdiately felt much lighter in her heart.

Elashia pulled Ileina to the bedside.

"Mm... let's sit on the bed and talk."

"Mm..."

Ileina didn't resist Elashia's action and sat on the bed together with Elashia.

The two girls sat down on the edge of the bed like this, looking at each other.

"Lena... actually I was wrong..."

Elashia lowered her head and admitted her mistake to Ileina without any concealnt.

"Actually... I don't really mind being treated like a fragile item... I just... feel very uncomfortable whenever I think that I might delay your command of the battle..."

"You are my hero... the embodint of idealism..."

"Whenever I think that soone like you would be held back by ... I feel really uncomfortable..."

As Elashia spoke, she leaned against Ileina.

Ileina, suddenly leaned on by Elashia, stiffened all over for a mont, but didn't dodge.

Sowhat nervously, Ileina said sowhat stamring to Elashia who was leaning on her:

"How could you... possibly... be connected to the phrase 'holding back'..."

"If it weren't for you, I'd still be leading Caroline and the others in guerrilla warfare in the mountains..."

"Whether military, economic, food, or international environnt... doesn't Northern Fire rely almost entirely on your help..."

"I know..."

Elashia's pink-haired little head leaning on Ileina's shoulder rubbed against Ileina's military uniform.

"Maybe... it's precisely because of this that I can't accept taking away your attention on the ever-changing battlefield..."

"I hope I can always be your good helper... I don't want to have even the slightest negative impact on you..."

"..."

Ileina said nothing more, just changed position and embraced the girl leaning on her tightly...

...

Late at night, the two girls lay on the large bed in the military tent talking.

"Lena, have you thought about how to deal with the Blood Clan's army later?"

"Mm... actually not yet."

Ileina's voice was full of distress.

"The Blood Clan soldiers are almost all beings wearing heavy armor... except for your Elasia iron-core crossbows, almost no ranged units can penetrate their armor..."

"And those wooden crossbows in our hands are even less likely to cause any damage to Blood Clan soldiers..."

"So to break through armor, we've been trying to find ways..."

"According to our past thinking, equipping soldiers with weapons like steel spears should et the armor-breaking requirents..."

"But... if the Blood Clan can release large numbers of vampire bats in the sky... I'm afraid the relatively cumberso spears will be at a disadvantage."

"Then... according to Holy Kingdom veterans who experienced the war ten years ago, actually the Blood Clan's vampire bats aren't sothing fatal."

"After all, a force-ripened bat is only palm-sized. Even if you let it drink hard, a person would only lose a few milliliters of blood. As long as you're not bitten in vital areas like the eyes, there won't be any major problems..."

"But the problem is—humans are naturally sowhat afraid of this type of creature... and one carrier can release at least several hundred bats, while ten carriers can release at least thousands of vampire bats..."

"Thousands of vampire bats are indeed insignificant to our army of a hundred thousand... but if they directly concentrate on attacking the front ranks of our formation... that would be troubleso."

"If it's before the two sides engage in close combat, then the front of our formation might very well be disrupted... and if it's during battle... that would be fatal..."

"The most disgusting thing is—these vampire bats are like your Elasia's firepower strike strategy, able to continuously cause damage to enemies from range."

"The flight radius of disposable blood bats is one and a half kiloters, aning they can cause damage to us from a distance of one and a half kiloters, while if we want to cause casualties to them, we have to charge forward for close combat."

"And this way... we'd have to let soldiers charge the Blood Clan formation that's already well-prepared..."

"Then... isn't there absolutely no way to solve this problem?"

Elashia asked worriedly:

"If we can't solve this problem... we'll definitely suffer considerable losses later..."

"Yes... but how can we solve it..."

Looking at the green ceiling of the military tent, Ileina said with distress:

"The only ranged weapons we can use now are those twelve Magic Crossbows... but by then the Blood Clan carriers definitely won't approach us within one kiloter..."

"And unable to damage the carriers, we can only attack those vampire bats..."

"But after those bats are killed, more bats will be produced by the carriers within a few hours..."

"Those bats are endless..."

"..."

The military tent fell silent again...

Elashia had to admit—the current situation indeed exceeded her previous expectations.

Although Northern Fire now possessed an extrely large number of soldiers, the quality of these soldiers was completely incomparable to the powerful Blood Clan army...

The Blood Clan army was fully armored, while Northern Fire could hardly distribute unified military uniforms.

The Blood Clan army possessed considerable air power, while Northern Fire had no aerial units at all.

The Blood Clan army even possessed [Blood Bows], sothing that could deal major blows to human soldier morale...

Feeling the silence in the room, Elashia knew that she and Ileina probably wouldn't sleep well tonight...
