How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 417 : Victor's Thoughts

Seeing the old Pope finally speak, a Grand Lord solemnly raised his hand.

"First, I suggest arranging several fast-moving combat units to send ssages to the lord, reporting the battlefield situation and telling the lord we cannot win the war in such a short ti."

"Reasonable!"

"Mm..."

"Indeed..."

Soon, his opinion gained support from almost all lords in the eting room.

However, Victor at this ti looked at them with his pale, wrinkled face darkened, saying nothing.

"Uh... Your Holiness?"

The Grand Lord who had just spoken looked at Victor's grim expression and asked sowhat fearfully:

"Is there... sothing wrong with my idea?"

"Hmph, you seem to have misunderstood sothing."

Looking disappointedly at this roomful of Blood Clan lords, Victor slowly said in a low voice:

"Think about it—why does the lord require us to win within one month..."

Suddenly, he roared loudly:

"Is our enemy His Excellency the Blood Demon Lord?!"

After this roar, all the lords in the eting room imdiately fell silent as cicadas, not daring to speak...

"I must reiterate to you all... we must win within half a month no matter what!"

Victor roared at the lords:

"That bitch flying around in the sky—what's truly terrifying isn't her healing and enemy-inspiring magic, but the Elasian army behind her!"

"Use your pig brains and think carefully! What is she! Is she just a human mage?!"

"She's the Empress of Elasia! She has armies!"

"What is Elasia's Imperial Guard? It's professional soldiers with complete military organization, comprehensive military supply systems, and large numbers of heavy long-range weapons, receiving proper long-term training! It's incomparable to Northern Fire's guerrilla forces!"

"Her army could cross the mountains between the Holy Kingdom and Elasia to aid Northern Fire at any ti, or even go directly through the Northern Forest to reach behind our army and pincer us together with Northern Fire!"

"Tell ! Isn't this the case?"

...

The eting room fell silent again.

However, at this mont, a woman's cold voice rang out.

"Your Holiness, I think you're definitely overthinking."

Victor looked toward the voice.

Who else could the speaking blonde woman be but Evelyn?

He originally wanted to directly tell Evelyn to shut up, but considering the Blood Demon Lord's confidant was also in the command post, he temporarily suppressed his anger.

And Evelyn continued speaking.

"We must understand—the mountains between Elasia and the Holy Kingdom aren't so easily crossed. At least most soldiers and the heavy weapons Elasians are so proud of could never cross these steep mountains."

"When I was still stubbornly resisting the lord's army, purchasing even one heavy crossbow from Elasia cost over a thousand gold coins, half of which was shipping costs."

"To cross through the mountains between the Holy Kingdom and Elasia, only those extrely few Elasian mages could manage it."

"And they could never deploy weapons and combat power to the Holy Kingdom this way."

"As for Elasian armies coming through the Northern Forest... that's even more impossible."

"You know—the Northern Forest has large numbers of powerful magical beasts."

"Those magical beasts are true monsters that fight to the death upon seeing humans, and even most Holy Kingdom Inquisitors aren't matches for so of these creatures in one-on-one combat."

"Elasian armies simply couldn't cross such dangerous and vast forest areas, unless they're willing to pay unimaginably huge costs..."

"I believe this possibility doesn't exist."

Evelyn continued analyzing seriously:

"Elasians have no reason to bet all their chips on the Holy Kingdom."

"For human nations, all behaviors are traceable."

"Human nations are like giant ships loaded with personnel and cargo. When you look from afar, everything seems under the captain's control, but when you truly beco captain, you discover the entire ship simply can't be controlled by one person."

"Even if Elasia's empress truly wanted to devote national strength to support Northern Fire, she certainly couldn't do it."

"As a monarch, she would necessarily need to coordinate all dostic interest relationships."

"If she excessively sacrifices Elasian interests to support Northern Fire, she would inevitably invite resistance from various major interest groups within Elasia."

"I dare confidently conclude—Elasia's current aid to Northern Fire has far exceeded normal paraters, completely enough to shake Elashia's rule over the empire."

"Under these circumstances, unless Elashia has mind-control magic, she absolutely cannot continue increasing her bet on the Holy Kingdom..."

After Evelyn's lengthy speech finally ended, the eting room fell quiet again.

The lords looked at each other, their eyes revealing recognition of Evelyn's words.

However, Evelyn was after all a human they disliked, and agreeing with her at this ti might anger Victor, so the Blood Clan lords naturally chose silence.

And how could Victor, who had lived over three thousand years, not read the aning contained in this silence...

He stared tightly at Evelyn with those blood-red eyes, but couldn't say anything.

Because he also didn't know how to refute Evelyn's extrely reasonable speech.

Being stared at by Victor with those blood-red pupils, Evelyn showed no fear, only eting Victor's gaze directly...

For her, absolutely loyal to the Blood Clan, winning this war was the top priority—even losing her life over it wouldn't matter.

And Victor, sowhat unable to save face, thought about what he wanted to say next while glaring at Evelyn.

Actually, for him, his image and dignity in the lords' eyes was secondary.

What was truly important was how to win this war.

Victor had a very strong intuition—no matter what, he had to win this war as quickly as possible.

Though he couldn't explain why, he just had this strong intuition.

A girl who was empress of another nation daring to infiltrate the dangerous Holy Kingdom alone... there was no way she hadn't prepared contingencies...

To avoid complications from delay, he had to win this war early...

But at this ti he indeed couldn't out-argue the well-reasoned Evelyn...

What to do...
