How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 420 : Attrition Tactics
"Oh? Today's Blood Clan... could it be that their commander fell asleep?"
Looking at the sowhat unbelievable scene before her, Mollier, who had fought Blood Clan her entire life, frowned.
After another night of battle, the sun had risen from the horizon.
That warm winter sun shone on the battlefield, and also on the human and Blood Clan soldiers engaged in combat.
Despite the protection of full-body armor, those Blood Clan soldiers fighting on the battlefield clearly showed deep weakness...
Not only had the speed of wielding their weapons beco obviously much slower, so Blood Clan soldiers in poor physical condition couldn't even bear the weight of their armor anymore...
So Blood Clan soldiers were even pressed directly to the ground by the heavy armor, and unable to counterattack or dodge, they were soon pierced through by surrounding Northern Fire soldiers with spears...
So Blood Clan soldiers, clearly knowing that removing their armor would cause them to suffer more sunlight erosion, still hesitated before taking off their heavy armor, just to escape the weight they could no longer bear...
"This... seems wrong."
Caroline, with superhuman military insight, keenly noticed sothing from several Blood Clan soldiers who tried to flee backward after the sun ca out but were directly dismbered by the supervisory troops.
"Look at the Blood Clan's supervisory troops... they clearly still appear full of fighting spirit, and even now haven't shown even the slightest wavering..."
"The Blood Clan's supervisory troops are their commander's direct forces, and should be closer in distance to the commander..."
"Acting completely unsurprised on a battlefield where they should clearly retreat... this can only an one thing—they never intended to retreat from the start!"
"What?"
Adeline asked strangely:
"This... doesn't the Blood Clan commander know that Blood Clan soldiers can't handle the sun?"
Under sunlight, not only would Blood Clan regular combat units face massive strength decline, but Blood Clan advanced combat units couldn't even use [Blood Magic], their main combat skill! The vampire bats in the sky would also completely lose offensive capability due to losing their desire to feed!
Whether it was Adeline, Mollier, or Caroline, they were all veterans of fighting Blood Clan... but they had truly never seen such a situation before...
Could the Blood Clan commander... really be so eager for victory to this extent?
This... clearly didn't make sense...
Continuing to fight under these circumstances... would not only greatly reduce Blood Clan soldiers' combat ability and will, but would also directly crush the already low morale of Blood Clan soldiers to rock bottom...
The final result would only be one—the Blood Clan army would suffer even more severe casualties, making victory increasingly distant for the Blood Clan!
As long as the Blood Clan commander was a ntally normal Blood Clan mber, they definitely wouldn't do this!
There was only one benefit to doing this—intensifying consumption on both sides...
But Northern Fire's combat personnel numbered fully twice that of the Blood Clan. If combat consumption intensified... this should also be unfavorable to the Blood Clan...
After all, humans now had plenty of reserves to use. When front-line warriors beca fatigued from fighting, they could just be replaced with fresh reserves, right...
"Wait!"
Thinking of this, Caroline suddenly shouted loudly.
"I know!"
"What do you know?"
Adeline and Mollier all looked at Caroline strangely.
"Both our army and the Blood Clan army! If one unit gets tired fighting, we can completely pull them back and replace them with another... but... but there's only one Her Majesty Elashia!"
"When she's tired, no one can replace her!"
"The Blood Clan... the Blood Clan commander wants to use this tactic to exhaust Her Majesty Elashia to the point where she cannot fight!"
"If Her Majesty Elashia disappears from the battlefield... then everything is finished!"
"Not only will Blood Clan blood bows be able to cause real sustained damage to our warriors... but our warriors' morale will probably disappear from the battlefield along with Her Majesty Elashia!"
"Then perhaps just one Blood Clan charge... our troops might collapse!"
"This..."
Adeline and Mollier finally realized.
"This... this is an open conspiracy!"
"Even if we recognize this problem... we can't possibly make Elashia leave the battlefield!"
"But if we really keep Her Majesty Elashia fighting in the air like this... Her Majesty Elashia, who never gets to rest, will ultimately collapse in this prolonged war of attrition!"
...
"You're saying... the Blood Clan is still attacking now? And shows no signs of stopping at all?"
Ileina in the command post was imdiately stunned after hearing the battle report.
This... the Blood Clan would actually maintain their offensive during the day...
Without ti to think more, knowing she should now rotate so combat personnel, Ileina hurriedly said to the ssenger:
"Next, go to the frontline command post and reserve headquarters to relay my orders."
"The First, Second, and Fifth Combined Corps that have been fighting on the front lines all night will withdraw under cover of the Third and Fourth Combined Corps..."
"The Eleventh and Twelfth Field Regints and the Twentieth Guard Unit from the reserves will enter the original combat positions of the withdrawn units in order..."
"After the first rotation is complete, use the Seventh and Eighth Regints to replace all remaining regints that fought last night..."
"Yes!"
After hearing Ileina's orders, the ssenger saluted and ran out of Ileina's command post.
"Wait! No! That's not right!"
After the ssenger left, Ileina, now alone, quickly understood the reason behind this...
...
Ti on the battlefield always passed quickly, yet sotis felt very long...
But at least for Elashia, the flow of ti felt extrely long...
"Ha... ha... isn't it over yet..."
After a full day of battle, the sun once again set over the western horizon, plunging the entire battlefield back into darkness.
Elashia, who had been floating in the air for a day and two nights, was still continuously casting healing and inspiring spells on the battlefield below.
This ti, because soldiers could be rotated with fresh batches approximately every twelve hours, Elashia didn't need to worry about potential bodily harm from repeatedly using [Courage Anthem] on soldiers.
Now, as soon as she saw soldiers showing even the slightest fatigue, she could use [Courage Anthem] to make their adrenaline burst instantly and keep them maintaining the maximum morale state of level three.
But correspondingly, rather than focusing on Northern Fire soldiers, Elashia was actually more concerned about those Blood Clan soldiers still fighting desperately on the front lines under threat from supervisory troops...
She had been fighting for over thirty hours now... and barely had the strength left to float in the air...
