How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 381.1 : Strategic Deployment

"Huh?" x2

After learning of Elashia's heaven-defying ability from Caroline, Carles and Mollier, who had just sat down, bounced up again.

Able to directly transport grain to designated areas?

And in extrely large quantities?

Wasn't this cheating?

"Mm..."

Being stared at by the two like this, Elashia nodded sowhat shyly.

"It's like this..."

If they knew she could also obtain large amounts of grain and gold by changing human destiny... their reaction would probably be even more frightening...

Mollier asked with a sowhat trembling voice:

"So... Empress Elashia not only brought Elasia's strongest knights to aid us, can use morale-boosting and body-healing spells on our forces, provided us with military aid of over a dozen Magic Crossbows half a year ago... but even provided us with massive grain assistance of over two hundred thousand tons?"

Her gaze toward Elashia changed again...

At first, although she had violently interrupted Carles's behavior of calling Elashia "little friend" out of politeness, looking at Elashia who clearly appeared to be a young girl, she still felt the other party was sowhat harmless...

But it was such a harmless-looking girl... who had provided Northern Fire with nearly savior-like help!

Especially regarding grain...

Everyone knew that in the Holy Kingdom where people's livelihoods were in decline and everything needed rebuilding, grain reserves were the key resource that could determine the life and death of a regi...

Now Mollier finally understood why Ileina and the others had brought almost all elite forces to the north without leaving so in the south to maintain order...

It turned out that the southern part of the Holy Kingdom had already stabilized at an unimaginable speed with the help of this seemingly harmless girl before them!

"Aunt Mollier... please don't look at Little Shia like that..."

Seeing Mollier's increasingly fervent gaze toward Elashia, Ileina suddenly beca sowhat uneasy.

"Ah... I'm truly sorry, Auntie was rude..."

Mollier, who finally ca to her senses under Ileina's reminder, imdiately apologized to Elashia:

"I'm truly sorry... Auntie... has lived for so many years and this is really the first ti hearing of such things..."

She sat down and once again recovered her past composure as the Holy Kingdom's Minister of Military Affairs.

"Empress Elashia, the Holy Kingdom and everyone have truly received too much care from you..."

"Your kindness to us... we will definitely repay you after victory in the war."

"Uh..."

Hearing Mollier's thanks and promise, Elashia smiled sowhat awkwardly again.

Why did every Holy Kingdom person speak like this when they saw her...

Not wanting to discuss these matters, Elashia had to divert the topic back to combat again.

"Mm... um... weren't we talking about the war with the Blood Clan before..."

"Oh... Uncle and Auntie did go off topic."

Carles, who instantly judged from Elashia's expression that she didn't want to continue this topic, also imdiately chid in and asked:

"So... what exactly was written in that letter from the Iron Empire?"

"Well..."

Caroline beside Carles explained to everyone:

"To deal with us, the Blood Clan has basically recalled the armies from the north that were used to invade and rule the demi-human nations."

"Plus the Blood Demon Lord's personal guard forces located in the Blood Clan's center... there should be about fifty thousand Blood Clan troops... and they're all high-level units wearing heavy armor."

"Moreover... due to accumulation over these years, the Blood Clan has built a full ten Blood Bat Carriers, which may pose considerable threat to us..."

"Oh..."

After Caroline finished explaining the letter's contents, Mollier showed a sowhat grave expression.

"Fifty thousand Blood Clan troops... plus ten carriers... that's indeed sowhat troubleso."

"In the wars I fought with the Blood Clan over ten years ago as Supre Commander... the Blood Clan never had more than forty thousand at most..."

"It seems this ti the Blood Clan is determined to rule the Holy Kingdom again..."

Ileina nodded and asked Mollier:

"What's the current deploynt situation of the Holy Kingdom's forces?"

Mollier answered seriously:

"Northern Fire has a total of two hundred fifty thousand troops in the north of the Holy Kingdom. We've already left the most elite fifty thousand with the best equipnt according to Your Majesty's wishes, while the other two hundred thousand troops have been dispersed and arranged in other cities and villages in the north of the Holy Kingdom."

"Mm... that's indeed very good."

Ileina nodded.

"Actually... Empress Alexandra of the Iron Empire previously communicated with us."

"In the communication, she reasonably suggested that we choose not to clash head-on with the Blood Clan army, abandon so northern regions of the Holy Kingdom, and use tiered defense to delay the pace of the Blood Clan's attack..."

"But actually, I don't want to do that."

Ileina said seriously to everyone in the military camp:

"This ti we cleaned out the Holy Court forces so thoroughly that after the Blood Clan controls our territory, they'll definitely want to launch a major counterattack, and having lost their blood supply, they'll definitely target many innocent civilians..."

"By then, I'm afraid those 'strategically abandoned' northern regions will suffer irreversible damage."

"After all, over a month's ti is completely sufficient for the Blood Clan's army to cause considerable damage to the north of the Holy Kingdom..."

"Moreover... knowing they can no longer establish effective rule in the Holy Kingdom, the Blood Clan absolutely won't pretend to be gentle like before this ti..."

"If we let the Blood Clan's army enter the hos of defenseless civilians, they'll definitely keep creating massacres..."

As Ileina spoke to this point, the air in the military camp beca sowhat heavy again.

For the Blood Clan to live, they definitely needed blood.

Expecting them not to target defenseless civilians... was completely impossible.

Speaking to this point, Ileina changed direction again.

"However... we cannot completely ignore the fact that we have a very high possibility of being defeated on the front lines."

"After all, our 'elite forces' are actually just guerrilla forces with standard equipnt..."

"They have no armor and no experience with large-scale combat like this..."

"Plus our enemies have indeed put in real effort, so we may very well be routed on the front lines."

Ileina said with firm resolve:

"Therefore, I believe our forces should be divided into two parts."

"A small portion of relatively powerful troops will organize large army group operations with us on the front lines, while most of the soldiers with relatively lower combat effectiveness will be distributed to other northern regions of the Holy Kingdom to first organize tiered defense."

"This way, even if we're defeated on the front lines, we can ensure the Blood Clan's army won't charge into the north of the Holy Kingdom like a broken bamboo, minimizing losses to the greatest extent."

"As long as we can hold out until reinforcents arrive, we'll have won this battle..."
