How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 386 : Prelude to the Great War

"Mm..."

The Blood Demon Lord nodded.

"Indeed, it's ti to properly issue commands..."

Looking at the furious Victor below, she smiled:

"Alright, don't be angry, old Pope."

"For the upcoming operation... I plan to appoint you as Supre Commander. What does the old Pope think?"

Victor bowed to the Blood Demon Lord on the platform.

"My Lord's command, this minister naturally will not disobey."

"Mm... very good."

The Blood Demon Lord nodded, then asked another Blood Clan commander beside her:

"By the way... have any of the envoys you sent to contact the Demon race returned?"

That Blood Clan commander shook his head.

"My apologies... still no one has returned."

"I see..."

Imitating the style of human novels, the Blood Demon Lord opened the fan beside her to cover half her face and smiled:

"We've already sent over five hundred envoys. Since none have returned despite this, it ans the Demon race has already begun warring with the Iron Empire."

"My Lord is wise."

That Blood Clan mber flattered:

"Our reason for contacting the Demon race to attack the Iron Empire was to eliminate the possibility of the Iron Empire joining with Elasia to aid Northern Fire."

"If the Iron Empire were to aid the Holy Kingdom, it would inevitably lead to dostic military weakness. Knowing this, the Demon race would definitely attack the Iron Empire, so we wouldn't need to worry about the Iron Empire aiding Northern Fire."

"And if none of our nurous ssengers have returned, it ans they're already at war with the Iron Empire, so our objective has been equally achieved."

"Mm... exactly so."

The Blood Demon Lord smiled smugly.

She had sent over five hundred soldiers to deliver the ssage that "the Iron Empire is about to aid the Holy Kingdom."

Although she didn't actually know whether the Iron Empire would aid the Holy Kingdom, as long as the Demon race knew this information, they would definitely want to seize the opportunity to wage war against the Iron Empire.

This would eliminate the possibility of Iron Empire participation.

After all, although the Northern Forest was full of dangerous magical beasts, at least a dozen of the five hundred death warriors sent should have been able to return.

Since none of the sent ssengers had returned, it ant the Iron Empire was fighting the Demon race on Demon territory, and the ssengers couldn't get supplies from the human ranches there, so they couldn't return.

Since it could be confird the Demon race was at war, it equally proved the Iron Empire was unable to spare more forces to aid the Holy Kingdom.

This strategy could be called foolproof...

"Alright, since we've eliminated the possibility of Iron Empire participation, let's properly analyze the current battle situation."

The Blood Demon Lord stood up from her seat and walked toward the map in the hall.

She first pointed to the north of the map.

"Previously, thanks to the army the Goddess transmitted to us, we successfully colonized all demi-human nations north of us."

"But... excessive colonies naturally brought us serious problems—insufficient garrison forces."

"Now that we've lost the Blood Cult Leader, we no longer have the possibility of communicating with the Goddess, unable to summon armies using previous thods."

"Our forces are too few, but the territory and population we need to control are too vast."

"And now, to suppress the humans in the south whose morale is high, we had to withdraw large numbers of troops from the already understaffed north."

"After northern garrisons were withdrawn, our control over most demi-human nations has naturally decreased considerably."

"Possibly even as we speak now, organized rebel forces have appeared in northern demi-human nations... so we must win this war quickly."

Looking at Evelyn kneeling submissively below and Seraya lying on the ground, clutching her throat and breathing painfully, the Blood Demon Lord said to Victor without concealnt:

"This is why I told you before that we must utilize human forces."

"The Holy Court army that fled here previously numbers nearly ten thousand. Even if their strength is minimal, we must utilize it."

"I have given you all the forces the Blood Clan can deploy, old Pope."

"Fifty thousand combat troops, thirty thousand supervisory forces, ten Blood Bat Carriers, and various war machines..."

"I know that facing those bandits whose equipnt and training don't even match the old Holy Court army, you can certainly achieve victory."

"But... what I want is not just a simple victory and nothing more."

Staring at Victor, the Blood Demon Lord continued seriously:

"You know, Northern Fire was able to destroy Holy Court rule so quickly this ti thanks to Elasian aid."

"So, Elasians might send massive aid forces over the mountains between their countries at any ti, or even boldly send armies through the dangerous Northern Forest..."

Speaking to this point, the Blood Demon Lord's expression beca increasingly serious.

"Ti is of the essence!"

"We must not only achieve victory before the northern situation loses control, but also defeat them before Elasian aid to Northern Fire arrives!"

Speaking to this point, the Blood Demon Lord, whose tone had beco quite passionate, suddenly shifted again, once more using her fan to cover half her face and smiled:

"I know—you and the soldiers will certainly have complaints about such harsh orders."

"And I... am naturally not so fool."

"So... we also need to give the Holy Kingdom people so lessons..."

"When you achieve victory in war, I will allow you to plunder human property and blood at will, even to slaughter humans at will... how about that?"

"Hmph, we should have done this long ago!"

Victor nodded satisfyingly.

"Accommodating human emotions and wronging our warriors... utterly ridiculous!"

"Charging into human cities, we should ruthlessly suck their blood, kill their n! Play with their won..."

"Hey... don't say it like that."

The Blood Demon Lord waved her hand.

"I must say first, I only allow you to do this three days after victory."

"After that, we still need to rule humans through humans. Continuing like this afterward would be troubleso."

"The Holy Kingdom is so large with such a huge population. If we control the Holy Kingdom the sa way we control northern demi-human nations, we'd need at least thirty thousand troops stationed in the Holy Kingdom."

"The cost would be too great for us..."

After hearing the Blood Demon Lord's words, Victor complained dissatisfiedly:

"What! My Lord, aren't you just afraid of that Northern Fire... Their army is no match for us!"

"When the ti cos, we'll kill batch after batch!"

"If that doesn't work, we'll declare that joining Northern Fire ans exterminating entire clans. Then no one will dare resist us!"

"Sigh... I won't discuss this with you."

The Blood Demon Lord shook her head.

"In any case, just follow my orders."

"As for you two..."

Looking at Seraya and Evelyn, the Blood Demon Lord smiled cruelly:

"When the ti cos, whatever Victor arranges, you'll do. Do you understand?"
