The villain daughter did all kinds of things

In the medical industry, there is a saying:

No matter how skilled the doctor, he couldn't cure the elf's fever.

This statement is now perfectly illustrated: due to the decadent nature of the elves, once their bodies are affected by the potion of pleasure, even the Flame of Life is powerless against them.

Of course, the potion of pleasure is not cheap. With the current production capacity of the Allen Federation, it is not possible to use the potion of pleasure in this way. Therefore, the pink smoke produced after the metal disc exploded was actually diluted with a large amount of water, and its effect was far less than that of the original potion.

However, the elves do not possess the same strong will as humans. Their resistance to the potion of pleasure is practically negative, and once they develop a fever, it is very difficult to bring it down.

While they might not completely lose consciousness from the burns, their attention would be significantly diverted and their reaction speed drastically reduced, meaning they would be less than one-tenth of their original fighting ability.

Just then, the vanguard of the Federation army, the Heroic Legion personally led by Judy, also made contact with the Elven army.

If a normal human soldier were to encounter a large group of elves who were feverish under the influence of the pleasure potion, he would certainly have some wicked thoughts and desires. After all, elves are all beautiful women, which is only human nature.

But the Heroic Spirit Legion is different. Although they still retain their self-awareness, they no longer have worldly desires. They only have love for their families and loyalty to the Holy Maiden in their hearts.

"kill!"

Therefore, the Heroic Legion showed no mercy, using their spears and blades, which shimmered with holy light, to stab at the elven mages, and within a few breaths, they had knocked down a large number of them.

Under the influence of the potion of pleasure, the elven army, which should have been fearless against the heroic spirits, became almost powerless to fight back. Some elven mages, whose minds had been fried, even gave up resisting and laughed strangely as they deliberately rammed their bodies into the spears of the heroic spirits.

"This is really..."

Aboard the Federation flagship, the Melson III, and looking at the situation on the front lines of the battlefield, Ji Xinyu was momentarily at a loss for words, only able to sigh:

"So that's the secret weapon you prepared for the elves? You're really something, senior sister."

"Hmm~~"

Amelie accepted the praise with pride, without any modesty.

The Merson family had the idea of ​​replacing real soldiers with unmanned autonomous weapons nearly 10 years ago, and they even invested heavily in Langdon to develop the project.

As a result, although old man Langdon created some very powerful magical puppet warriors, the manufacturing cost was too high, far exceeding the cost of training human mages with the same combat power, so the plan was abandoned for a time.

The project was only restarted by Emery after all of Langdon's research findings were inherited by him.

Drawing inspiration from the application of drones on the battlefield on Earth in her previous life, Amelie abandoned the idea of ​​creating powerful individual magical soldiers and shifted her research and development approach.

Since it's difficult to replace magic crystals or replenish magic power for magic soldiers on the battlefield, let's design all magic soldiers to be disposable, so they can be used and discarded without needing to be replenished.

This would significantly reduce the amount of magic power a single magic soldier needs to carry, and production costs would also be reduced considerably.

With the amount of magic power that can be carried greatly reduced, how can the lethality of the magic soldiers be guaranteed? After all, the attack power of magic devices is normally directly linked to the magic power consumption.

This problem really stumped Amelie's R&D team. Even Bobo had thought about solving it for a long time, but they hadn't found an ideal solution.

Fortunately, with the return of old man Langdon, the problem was solved—since the magic reserves were insufficient to cause effective damage, then they would not rely on magic to cause damage; they could simply add different magical potions to the explosion, using a magical version of biological attack.

When the magical power carried by the magical doll no longer needs to be considered in terms of attack power, it can be used to increase other abilities, such as the ability to break through defenses and prevent interference.

After numerous simulations and analyses by the research team, the [Dispel Magic] spell became the optimal choice.

Even for elven mages, the spell "Dispel Magic" is rather useless.

While it may seem weak, it can theoretically render any magic without a conceptual framework ineffective, making it arguably the most versatile method of countering magic.

While it's powerful, its activation conditions are quite demanding—the caster must completely analyze the spell cast by the opponent in order to dispel it.

This is roughly equivalent to an enemy throwing a long string of algebraic expressions at you during battle, and the caster dispelling the spell having to differentiate that long string of algebraic expressions within millimeter time... Normal casters simply don't have this ability.

Therefore, the spell "Dispel Magic" is theoretically very powerful, but it is so unpopular that almost no magicians are willing to use it. Normal magicians would rather expend more magic power to create shields to defend against magic than spend the mental effort to dispel the opponent's magic.

However, problems that can be solved simply by high computing power are not a problem at all for AI, which has already reached a mature stage of technological development.

Suzuran is the most suitable user of [Dispel Magic]. As long as all the magical soldiers are entrusted to her for remote control, the power of [Dispel Magic] can be maximized.

After combining these design concepts and technologies, the final product was those flying metal discs that had just shone on the battlefield.

Their operating principle is actually very simple. Each disc is inscribed with only two spells: one is flight magic for maneuverability, and the other is dispel magic for breaking through defenses and countering spells.

The mission is considered complete once the target is successfully breached to within 5 meters and self-destructed.

Even though the power of the explosion itself is unlikely to kill a life enhanced by magic, various magical potions and smoke can effectively render the target unable to fight.

For example, the Pleasure Potion we're using now is extremely effective against the elven soldiers, and we can switch to other potions when dealing with other enemies.

Simply put, these metal discs are equivalent to the self-destructing drones on Earth that carry biological and chemical weapons and anti-aircraft jamming devices.

Their cost is basically as cheap as drones on Earth. In fact, the most expensive part is the potion diluent that fills the disc, while the production cost of the disc itself is only a few thousand rens.

With about 40% of the Merson family's production capacity fully utilized, they could produce approximately 6 to 8 of these metal discs per day.

Immediately after rescuing Spire, Amelie ordered war preparations. At this time, the stockpile of metal discs had exceeded 50, and production was still ongoing.

"Wow, Senior Sister, you're amazing... It seems I can't beat you even if I lead an army against you. What a pity."

Ji Xinyu ignored the strange looks from the officers in the command room and nonchalantly recounted her doomed ambitions:

"I was even thinking that one day, after I gained the power of the empire, I could send troops to conquer the west and capture you, my senior sister, and bring you back to the palace as a spoil of war."

"Then you can only dream about it... But we have a kind of entertainment here that uses mental magic to customize dreams. All your outrageous ideas can be realized in your dreams through this method. After this battle is over, I can take you to play it, the kind without any restrictions."

Emery simply chuckled, opened a bottle of champagne, poured herself a small glass, and sipped it lightly.

"And... Junior Sister, your previous judgment was wrong. The elven army did not send any powerful experts to lure you into making a move. They should be retreating again soon."

"...No, that's not necessarily true, Senior Sister."

However, after carefully observing the battle situation at the front for a while, Ji Xinyu confidently offered a different perspective:

“I admit that you are very smart, Senior Sister, and you know almost everything, but you have never received real military training or served in the army... So you are going to make a mistake! I think the Elven army will not retreat easily, but will use a certain trump card in advance to turn the situation around, and may even cause you trouble for a while, and I may have to help you deal with it.”

"...Is that so? Then I'll keep a close eye on it."

Emery raised an eyebrow, unconcerned, and poured a glass of champagne for both Ji Xinyu and Sibi, continuing to watch the front lines of the battlefield while drinking.

As expected, Ji Xinyu's judgment was correct.

The pride of the elven army made it impossible for them to accept being defeated so easily. Faced with the combined offensive of the disc drones and the Heroic Spirit Legion, they chose to send out their strongest warriors to solve the problem.

The first to act were the Crimson Moon Princesses. Four of them, who had reached the level of Grand Magus, stood at the forefront, using their Flames of Life to almost dye the forest red.

Besides its powerful healing effect on living beings, the Flame of Vitality also has a strong destructive effect on non-living objects that have no resistance to magic, easily burning them to ashes.

As a non-recyclable, disposable, and inexpensive weapon, the disc drone could not possibly be made of expensive anti-magic materials. It was easily burned to ashes in the Flame of Life, and the diluted magic potion inside evaporated before it could take effect.

Moreover, many elven soldiers who fell after being pierced by spears or blades by the heroic spirits, but were not completely dead, rose again in the flames of life. They even used near-death resurrection to remove the effects of the potion on themselves and then fought fiercely with the heroic spirits in a fit of rage.

Bathed in the flames of life, the elven soldiers were completely unafraid of bleeding and injury. Every attack they made was a life-or-death struggle. They would rather have their bodies pierced by holy spears than not first use magic to blow the heads off the heroic soldiers.

But heroic soldiers are even less afraid of injury or death, because they are essentially still undead, only they are undead who have received divine blessings and can use the power of paladins.

Thus, a rather interesting scene unfolded: at the edge of the forest on the front lines of the battlefield, heroic warriors and elven mages fought each other with the most brutal attack methods, frequently beating each other to a pulp with blood and brains scattered everywhere, yet it was rare for either side to suffer any real casualties.

The elves were bathed in the flames of life, each transforming into a humanoid phoenix. Even when their bodies were pierced to a pulp, they could be reborn from the flames, becoming stronger with each battle.

The heroic warriors were no less formidable. Even when blasted to pieces by the elves' magic, they could still shout "Praise be to the Holy Maiden!" and be reborn in the holy light, throwing themselves back into battle.

The two sides fought fiercely for nearly an hour, with few actual deaths; only Emerald and the Crimson Moon Princesses were losing their magic.

Emerald was not worried at all. For her, who possessed three fused organs, it didn't matter if the Heroic Spirit Legion died and came back to life for another 100 years.

Princesses of Crimson Moon were much weaker; after an hour of intense use of the Flame of Life, they were clearly showing signs of fatigue.

But there are so many Princess Scarlet Moons, one wave gets tired and another wave comes to take their place, so they can keep going by taking turns at the front.

It seems like the two sides have reached a stalemate again, but in reality...

"Don't underestimate us humans! You damned elves! You're not the only ones with strong individuals!"

Judy, leading the attack, grew increasingly frustrated as she failed to defeat the forest elf army as planned. She then took out her communicator:

"Come on, everyone, help out! I'll share the credit with you all later!"

The Federation brigadier generals who accompanied Amelie on this expedition were not just Judy; most of the Federation's most outstanding young generals were also present.

In the Allen Federation, in addition to excellent command ability and sufficient merit, there is another hard requirement for becoming a Federation Brigadier General as a frontline commander: personal strength. One must be a Fusion Stage Mage or a Grand Mage. Otherwise, with Judy's combat achievements, she should have been a Brigadier General long ago. There was no need to wait until she broke through to the Fusion Stage last year.

However, there are differences among commodores. Judy, who is already closely associated with Emery, is definitely of higher status than the other commodores.

Therefore, when Judy leads the Legion of Heroes into battle, other brigadiers cannot provide support without permission, otherwise she may misunderstand it as stealing credit, which would be bad for their future promotion.

After all, Judy is backed by Emerald, and now almost everyone knows that the "E" in the Allen Federation is the same as the "E" in Emerald. Those brigadiers wouldn't go so far as to fawn over Judy, but they also don't want to offend her over trivial matters... Judy has never hidden her greed and ambition for military achievements.

In fact, Judy originally intended to take all the credit for defeating the elven army for herself, and Amelie gave her enough opportunities.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Judy had to admit that she couldn't keep going. She didn't care about losing face herself if she continued, but she absolutely couldn't let Emery lose face.

Judy understood this, so she decisively gave up taking all the credit and let the other strong members of the Federation Army help her in the attack.

The several federal brigadiers, who had been eagerly anticipating the battle, certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to show off. After a brief exchange, they each chose their targets and joined the fight.

They had their sights firmly set on those Crimson Moon Princesses.

The Crimson Moon Princesses who dared to rush to the front line at this time were all of great mage-level combat power. They were not afraid of federal brigadier generals of the same level, and could even hold their own against two opponents.

However, after the Crimson Moon Princesses were tied down by the Federation Brigadier Generals, they no longer had the energy to use the Flame of Life to intercept the disc drones and heal the wounded elven soldiers.

Thus, the scene from the very beginning of the battle was repeated: the elven soldiers were first affected by the ecstasy potion from the explosion of the disc drones and began to have fevers. Then, because they were dizzy from the fever, they were easily defeated by the originally evenly matched heroic warriors.

"...It seems like this won't work. Should we retreat?"

In the temporary command post of the elven army deep in the forest, Princess Crimson Moon, who appeared to be significantly stronger than her sisters, asked another elf beside her a question.

The elf had silver hair and black eyes, and her face was still beautiful, but there was no vitality in her eyes. She was obviously very old, and she was wearing a magnificent commander's uniform.

"We can't retreat...at least we can't just retreat like this."

The elven commander shook his head almost without hesitation:

"Retreating without achieving anything will be a huge blow to our morale. And once the Federation army takes over the beach, we'll have no defensible positions. They could be at the capital in three days at most... How much longer will your mother need?"

"At least 10 days."

Princess Scarlet Moon pondered for a moment and said:

"So, in the worst-case scenario, we need to defend the capital to the death for seven days? That doesn't seem very likely..."

"That's right, who knows what other tricks the Federation's witch has up her sleeve? She's terrifying."

A third voice chimed in from the side; it was an elf dressed in tight-fitting soft armor and a hood covering his head, carrying a longbow on his back and two daggers at his waist.

"She caught my strongest arrow so easily, and luckily I was prepared and reacted quickly, successfully avoiding her gaze, otherwise I would probably be dead."

"...You mean, as the Elven race's top assassin and magic archer, you don't even have the confidence to face that witch head-on and withstand her next attack?"

Princess Scarlet Moon looked at the leader of the Moon Guard with a very serious expression.

"Yes, if I face her head-on, as long as she doesn't hold back, I'll be dead in one move."

The Moon Guard leader readily admitted it, then added after a moment's thought:

"Excuse my bluntness, Your Highness... the only one in our camp who can currently rival the Federation's witches is your mother, Queen Scarlet Moon."

"Then you continue to keep an eye on that bitch Sibi in the shadows, so that the Federation's witches won't dare to take action on their own again. Just keep her in check."

Princess Scarlet Moon made a decisive decision, then looked again at the commander of the elven army:

Do you have any other suggestions?

"……Have."

The commander of the elven army pondered for a few seconds:

"Do you remember the mysterious Eastern powerhouse who saved the remnants of the Seven Rainbows family from Sibi? I think she's important too... Even if we can't hold the beach for even a day and have to retreat, we must find a way to force her to take action again before we retreat, and obtain more information from her!"

Chapter 347 What does it mean that Drunken Red Mansion has stood up?

"coming."

When that striking figure appeared on the battlefield, Ji Xinyu, in the command center of the Federation flagship Melson III, immediately beamed with pride and looked triumphantly at Amelie:

"I was right this time, senior sister."

"Here, this is my reward for you."

Amelie smiled charmingly and personally poured Ji Xinyu another glass of champagne, as if this glass of wine was a reward for Ji Xinyu.

In reality, Emery secretly took off one shoe and stretched her right foot under the table to Ji Xinyu, letting Ji Xinyu trap it with her leg.

"Hmm~~"

Ji Xinyu picked up her wine glass and took a sip, seemingly savoring the fine wine.
