The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Her Majesty has given us instructions that we must unconditionally cooperate with your actions from now on."

"So your Queen really trusts me..."

Emery shrugged, her tone seemingly somewhat helpless:

"To recapture the Elf capital and defeat Theresa Scarlet Moon within half a month is even more difficult than the expeditionary force during the war."

But immediately, that helpless smile turned into a smile of excitement:

"But isn't that what makes it interesting? The Allen Federation is no longer the federation it once was, and your elven race is no longer the elves of that time... A quick whirlwind of the elves in half a month? Hmph, it seems my glorious record is about to be added to the list."

. . . . .

In all of Amelie's current plans, the Elf Queen's help is indispensable in order to prevent the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao.

But now the Elf race itself has run into problems. Judging from their performance during the communication ceremony, if they cannot help the Elf Queen reclaim the Elf capital, she will most likely be powerless to help when the Dao Ancestor merges with the Dao.

Therefore, Amelie has no choice but to send troops against the elves and reclaim the elven capital.

Let's start the war then.

In any case, for the Allen Federation, the biggest difficulty in defeating the elves is the Elf Queen, but now that the Elf Queen is on their side, what is there to be afraid of?

After concluding the communication ceremony with the Elf Queen, Amelie immediately took Marcy back to the Federation capital, Sphingard, and had Gaif, as the Grand Commander, summon the high-ranking military officers to discuss waging war against the elves.

The Elven attack on human companies and the Federation embassy within the territory already gave the Federation a legitimate reason to send troops against the Elven race, not to mention that they have now reached an agreement with the Elven Queen.

None of the high-ranking military officers had any objections; on the contrary, they were all eager to become the commander-in-chief of this war—fighting the elves without their queen would mean racking up merits and capturing valuable slaves to their heart's content, wouldn't it? Of course, everyone wanted to snatch such a good opportunity.

Another brilliant idea suggested that they could find a way to kill the Elf Queen as well, so that the Elf race would be completely enslaved by the Federation.

Emery responded with just one sentence:

"After you've killed the Elf Queen, are you going to check and balance the Dao Ancestor of the Eastern Kingdom?"

As for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Federation Army, Emerald did not relinquish it but took it upon herself, leaving the military generals helpless and unable to do anything about it.

Although Emerald is nominally just a commoner merchant, her operations are quite simple.

First, have President Gaif hire Emerald as his advisor, and then Emerald can use that position to become the commander-in-chief of the Federation Army.

The Allen Federation's army quickly began to assemble on the coast south of Locke City.

Judy, a staunch ally of Amelie in the military, was certainly not going to miss such a great opportunity to quickly defeat the elves and make a name for herself. Having made preparations in advance, she was the first to lead her troops to the assembly point.

Later, several more brigadier generals of the same rank as Judy arrived with their troops, bringing together a total of 22 corps and more than 10 men.

Three of the seven active-duty magic warships of the Federal Air Force arrived, and the Federal Navy also deployed 16 surface warships to be responsible for troop transport and fire suppression.

Even with the help of spatial magic and teleportation arrays, it took almost three days to assemble such a large army.

Such a large-scale operation was not unnoticed by the elves, who had already discovered it and worked through the night to build fortifications on the coast, setting up numerous rune sets and magical traps.

"set off!"

Once the Federation forces had assembled, Amelie, aboard the flagship Melson III, immediately ordered the entire army to advance, aiming to destroy the Elven coastal defenses that very day and allow the Federation army to land smoothly.

This war is completely different in nature from the last one. In the last war, the Federation launched the war with the aim of annihilating the Elf race. This war, however, is to help the Elf Queen reclaim the capital. In other words, the Elf race is still nominally a friendly race with humans, so unnecessary killings should be minimized.

So, along with Emerald on the flagship were the fallen elven nobles from Silbis. They were responsible for the propaganda offensive, trying to get some elven soldiers to give up resistance before the battle or to obey orders after the battle.

Ji Xinyu also came along, still as Amelie's personal friend. Many people thought she was the young lady's new love and didn't pay much attention to her. They even secretly complained that the young lady was just willful, having a foreign beauty by her side even when leading troops into battle.

But in fact, Ji Xinyu is a trump card for Amelite in this war, because Ji Xinyu is not only strong in person, but she is also the commander of the Eastern Legion of the Tianyun Empire, which can provide Amelite with a lot of help in military command.

Ji Xinyu arrived, but Yulia didn't. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any need for Theresa Feiyue to intervene; the Federation's magic warship would have crashed in the aftermath of their battle.

Therefore, Yulia's mission this time is to stay in the rear and guard Locke City to prevent the Scarlet Moon family from sending people to raid Amelie's rear and cause trouble, or to play some kind of tactic like besieging Wei to rescue Zhao.

The average distance between the continent north of the Emerald Strait, where the Federation is located, and the continent south of the Elf Kingdom is located, is about 500 kilometers. At the speed of the Federation's air and surface warships, the coast of the Elf Kingdom can be seen in less than three hours.

The coastline looked sunny and calm, and apart from the absence of any animals, it seemed no different from any other ordinary beach.

But this is clearly a magical illusion, because the magical reaction on the shore is very high, and no magical perception can penetrate it.

"stop!"

Upon seeing this, Amelie decisively ordered the fleet to temporarily halt its advance, maintaining a distance of approximately 8000 meters from the coast of the Elven Kingdom.

Several magical probes took off from the Federation Navy's surface warships and flew towards the coast of the Elf Kingdom, but lost contact when they were about 3000 meters away from the coast and disappeared from the Federation's sight.

"It seems they acted quite quickly and have already completed the deployment of the defenses."

Emery didn't seem particularly surprised; she simply patted Spike lightly from behind.

"Let's go... Although I think it might be useless, we still have to go through the necessary procedures."

"Yes, Miss."

Sibi behaved very respectfully.

Since the Elf Queen's consciousness descended upon her, she must have received some information that other elves did not know. Gradually, she no longer behaved like a collaborator and ally of Amelite, but rather like Amelite's subordinate or employee.

At this moment, Silbis followed Emery and flew out of the Federation's flagship, the Melson III, and arrived in the air above the fleet.

Emery didn't make many moves; she simply stood in front of Spike, ready to defend herself.

Silbis took a deep breath, raised her staff high, projecting a huge document into the air, and simultaneously used magic to make her voice resound throughout the elven kingdom's coast:

"Listen, my elven sisters! I am Silbis Emerald Star! I now represent all members of the Elven Royal Court Council. This is the authorization letter given to me by Her Majesty the Queen and the Seven Rainbows Family! It is witnessed by the magical marks of Her Majesty the Queen and the Seven Rainbows Family!"

"Don't be deceived by Theresa Scarlet Moon! She has betrayed Her Majesty the Queen and the entire Elven race, and is doing something extremely dangerous and treasonous! We are not enemies; we should unite to stop her! Reclaim the capital and protect the Queen!"

It turned out that Silbis's identity was indeed very important, and the huge document she projected into mid-air was also very effective.

Shortly after she made her declaration, the magic on the coast of the elven kingdom fluctuated noticeably, and soon even the disguise of a calm and sunny day failed, revealing the true situation on the coast—tens of thousands of fully armed elven soldiers.

At this moment, many of the elven soldiers were whispering among themselves, clearly shocked by Silbi's declaration.

But soon, a female voice also rang out from the Elf Coast:

"Don't be fooled, everyone! Mother is the true descendant of the Elven race! Silbis Celestia betrayed us long ago. She colluded with the witch of the Federation and committed countless evil deeds!"

She was a red-haired elf who looked very much like Marcy, and was undoubtedly one of Theresa Scarlet Moon's many daughters. She was also very powerful and should be the commander of the elven soldiers on the coast.

She also took flight, but used several kinds of magic to conceal her form, clearly very wary of the legendary witch's eyes.

"Has everyone forgotten the investigation results released by the Moon Guard a few days ago? The Verdant Star family has been colluding with humans for hundreds of years, selling our sisters to human kingdoms as slaves!"

"Think about your sisters from the same village who suddenly disappeared, everyone! They are likely still suffering as slaves in human kingdoms! And this slave trader who betrayed his own kind is now leading a human army to protect Her Majesty the Queen... Isn't that ridiculous? Anyone with a normal IQ knows what to choose, right?"

Immediately, the commotion among the elven soldiers on the shore ceased, the previously chaotic magic regrouped, and the morale of the elven army was even higher.

"...It is indeed quite ridiculous, even I find it ridiculous."

Amelie wasn't particularly surprised by the result.

Because Sibi was essentially a top slave trader, she had a very bad reputation among the common elves.

The Crimson Moon Clan, on the other hand, is the opposite. The power of the Flame of Life has allowed them to basically monopolize the medical industry among the elves. They are practically saving lives every day, which is why they are the number one family among the Seven Rainbow Clan, with the highest support and strength.

In this situation, it's true that anyone with a normal IQ knows who to believe, and only truly intelligent people might be able to see through the truth.

"...I'm sorry, Miss, I'm just too useless."

Sibi was so ashamed that her face turned green, but there was nothing she could do.

The other heads of the Seven Rainbows family were all killed by the Crimson Moon family on the night of the carnival because they had too good a reputation and cared too much about honor. Only the most cowardly and afraid-of-death Sibi survived.

Currently, the only person in the Federation Army with the status to issue a declaration is Sibi; the other impoverished elven nobles are not qualified, and sending them out to make a statement would only have a worse effect.

"It's alright, let's start fighting then... huh?"

Just as Emerald was about to lead Silbis back to the flagship to command the battle, an arrow traveling at nearly 30 times the speed of sound and reflecting no light at all suddenly shot towards Silbis from the direction of the coast.

This is an extremely powerful and deadly arrow—silent, concealed, and incredibly fast. Normally, even if someone discovers it, they would have little time to react, making it highly likely to have come from a top-tier expert.

Fortunately, Emery was stronger, and even at 30 times the speed of sound, it couldn't outrun light. When Emery saw the arrow, it was already destined that it would not hit its target.

The magical concept is that everything eventually dies!

The kinetic energy on the arrow was wiped out with a thought from Ameliete, who then casually caught the arrow.

Looking in the direction the arrow came from, they couldn't see anyone. Clearly, the elves had done their homework on Ameliete's situation and knew that they absolutely couldn't be seen by the witch when fighting her.

"...That's interesting."

Emerald was not ashamed or angry, but became even calmer and more cautious, personally escorting the currently very important Spire back to the flagship.

"If I haven't made a mistake..."

After entering the magical warship Melson III, Spectrum took the jet-black arrow from Emeryte's hand, examined it for a few moments, and said softly:

"She is the leader of the Moon Guard, and also our Elf race's number one assassin and magic archer. She is most skilled in magic that allows her to conceal her presence and snipe from a distance. Young lady, you must be careful of her."

Chapter 345 Beach Landing Operation!

"That's a brilliant open strategy, Senior Sister... Your opponent this time is no simple opponent."

After Sibi briefly introduced the situation of the Elf race's number one assassin and magic archer, before Amelie could even speak, Ji Xinyu flashed over with a grin.

"Yes, it is indeed a very clever open strategy."

Emery nodded first, then asked:

"So? Junior sister, how confident are you?"

"Very low."

Ji Xinyu shrugged:

“That guy’s stealth skills are really good. I couldn’t find her true hiding place at all just now… I can definitely take her down in a head-on fight, but if she always ambushes me like this and then runs away after a single strike, I probably won’t be able to do anything to her.”

"As expected?"

Emery frowned slightly and sighed.

Silbis is now very important to Emerald's side because she is the only surviving member of the Seven Rainbows family who can preside over the ritual to communicate with or awaken the Elf Queen. If she dies, things will become very complicated.

Theresa Scarlet Moon must have known this, which is why she arranged for the strongest assassin of the Elven race, the leader of the Moon Guard, to keep an eye on Silbis and wait for an opportunity to strike. That arrow just now was a way of giving her a heads-up.

It would be even better if we could take out Silbi directly, but even if we can't, we'll still be in a very good position. The only person who can protect Silbi 100% during this kind of sneak attack is currently Emery, which means that the Federation's strongest fighting force has been tied down.

That's why Ji Xinyu previously exclaimed that this was a very clever and open strategy, one that could make the opponent know what was going on but still be helpless.

Silbis didn't keep anything to herself. After the communication ceremony that day, she compiled her methods and insights on hosting the ceremony as requested by Emerald, and gave them to other members of the Seven Rainbows family, including Marcy, to study.

However, the transmission of magic and knowledge among the elves takes a lot of time, not to mention that communicating with the Elf Queen is a magical ritual that is extremely difficult. It would be difficult for a second person to master the method of presiding over the ritual in a short period of time... or even for several years.

With Emerald's magical talent, she might be able to learn the ritual quickly, but since she has neither the blood of the Seven Rainbows family nor is she an elf, it would be useless for her to learn it.

Therefore, Spikes must be protected now. She is now almost like an important NPC in a game, whose mission will fail if she dies. Only Emerald can keep an eye on her.

"Junior sister, what do you think the other party will do next?"

Back in the command room of the flagship, Emerald sat down on a chair with her feet up, took a sip of the tea that Marcy handed her, and then asked Ji Xinyu with a smile.

"Hmm... If I were on the other side, I would probably try to target me, or at least try to get more information about me."

Ji Xinyu also lazily sat down next to Emery:

"Your Federation and the Elves have been neighbors for so many years, you must have planted spies and agents in each other's ranks quite a bit, and you must know quite a bit about how many top experts each of you has... For example, Senior Sister, they probably even know what color nightgown you wear to bed at night."

“But I am different. I come from an Eastern country. Neither my people nor the power I use is very unfamiliar to the elves. Moreover, when I rescued those elven nobles who were being hunted, I acted quite ostentatiously, which must have already attracted the attention of their decision-makers.”

"So if I were on the other side, after restraining you, the strongest one, my next task would be to analyze me, the unknown one... If I'm not mistaken, there will be a rather powerful expert on the other side who will be quite active next, with the aim of luring me into making a move."

"As expected of the empire's genius commander, you're quite impressive, junior sister."

Emery didn't hold back her praise, smiling as she patted Ji Xinyu's leg before her smile faded and she gave orders to the officers who had been waiting in line:

"Let's begin the attack. We'll proceed with the standard amphibious assault plan for now."

"Yes, Miss!"

The officers who received the order immediately relayed the attack command.

The top priority for amphibious operations is to keep the coastline clean.

Now that the coast is full of elven soldiers, what should we do if it's not clean enough?

It's very simple, just clear it out with artillery fire.

"Fire!"
