The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Yesterday's great victory and today's smooth march seem to have led the officers and soldiers of the Federation Army to believe that the Elven race is no match for them and that they are already afraid of them.

They were extremely smug, acting as if they had already won the war even though it had only just begun. They boasted wildly and began fantasizing about how they would live a life of luxury after returning to the Federation.

"Do you understand the problem now, senior sister?"

Ji Xinyu clearly already knew all this, and only after seeing Amelie's brows furrow slightly did she smile and speak again:

“There is a saying in our military books: ‘Pride comes before a fall.’ The enemy commander is clearly taking advantage of their defeat yesterday and deliberately showing weakness today to make our officers and soldiers arrogant and careless when facing battle.”

"..."

Emery paused for a moment before opening her eyes and letting out a cold snort:

"This is nothing, just a negative impact of mindset on combat, which can be resolved with mental magic... My holy magic can also do that, keeping soldiers in a state of high excitement and focus, or even directly transforming them into heroic spirits!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Senior Sister, your divine magic is unparalleled!"

Ji Xinyu ignored Amelie's stubbornness and continued:

"Furthermore, after yesterday's battle, any good military commander could see that the elven army was no match for the Federation army. So why did they still try to intercept them in the indefensible forest, wasting their troops?"

"But we can't just do nothing and let them march straight in, can we?"

Emery countered with a question.

"Of course they won't do nothing. If I'm not mistaken... or if the enemy commander is really capable, they should be making a big move tomorrow."

As Ji Xinyu spoke, she gently pushed Sibi, who had just been nestled in her arms, towards Ameliete. Then, she began to draw on the table with her finger, sketching a simple diagram of the battlefield with just a few strokes:

“According to your previous speculation, Senior Sister, this elven army doesn’t actually need to defeat us. They just need to stall for enough time until Theresa Scarlet Moon successfully summons the otherworldly god… So they don’t need to intercept us head-on in the forest. They can go to the elven capital to strengthen their defenses and concentrate their superior forces to fight us.”

"And also..."

As Ji Xinyu spoke, she pointed to another spot:

"Senior sister, you only noticed that we marched more than 700 kilometers today and covered a lot of ground, but have you ever thought that we are also farther away from the camp on the coast?"

Chapter 349 A Clever Plan Leads to the Killing of the Moon Guard Leader

After a night's rest, the Federation army continued its advance towards the Elf capital.

Seemingly determined to concentrate their superior forces for a decisive battle in the capital, the main force of the Federation army did not encounter any interception from the main force of the elven army while marching in the morning, but was only harassed by several waves of summoned creatures, just like yesterday.

Noon passed quickly. At this time, the main force of the Federation Army was more than 1100 kilometers away from the camp on the coastline. They were less than 300 kilometers away from the Elf Capital and could launch the first wave of attack by evening.

The main force of the elven army has still not appeared, but the frequency of harassment from a large number of summoned creatures has increased significantly compared to before.

The forest was also filled with magical traps, most of which were illusion spells. They were not very effective in terms of actual killing power, but once activated, they could trap a large number of Federation soldiers in an illusion, wear down their morale and will, and slow down their march.

"coming."

Inside the command center of the Federation flagship, the Melson III, Amelie was not surprised at all by the situation. She simply put down her teacup and looked at Ji Xinyu beside her:

"You were absolutely right, junior sister."

"Using the method of luring the enemy deep into our territory to separate the main force from the rear, and then cutting off supplies through infiltration, is a tactic that our ancestors were tired of using."

Ji Xinyu chuckled, making no attempt to hide the smugness on her face:

“Senior sister, the speed of development of your Allen Federation is indeed very fast, but in some things, our empire’s accumulation over the past ten thousand years is obviously more impressive… The commander of the elven army should be somewhat capable, but in my Eastern Legion, he would at most be a lieutenant general, far inferior to me.”

"Mmm, junior sister, you're so amazing~~"

Amélie patted Ji Xinyu with amusement, her tone as if she were coaxing a child.

The tactics the elven army planned to use were already fully anticipated by Amelie last night after Ji Xinyu reminded her of them.

But she didn't show it. Instead, she pretended to be shocked and admiring, letting Ji Xinyu continue her performance, and earnestly came up with many useful strategies for her.

For Emerald, simply showing weakness and flattering Ji Xinyu was enough to get Ji Xinyu to work seriously for her, which was a huge win.

"Hum~"

Ji Xinyu rubbed comfortably against Emily's palm.

She could actually tell that her senior sister was being very slick and that most of her expressions were fake.

But so what? She just liked the admiring look in Amelie's eyes right now, even if it was fake, it made her feel good, that's emotional value.

In any case, both of them felt they hadn't lost out.

"Since the elven army's actions are exactly as you predicted, junior sister, the coastal base should get quite lively soon."

Emery stroked Ji Xinyu a couple more times, then stood up:

"Then let's proceed according to plan... I'll be going now, you can take care of things here."

"Yes, Miss!"

The officers in the command room responded in unison, and Ji Xinyu smiled and nodded, giving Amelie a reassuring look.

. . . . .

The forests of the Elven Kingdom are vast and dense. Even though the magical warships are equipped with detection magic devices with a range of hundreds of kilometers, the Elven army has ways to hide and bypass the main force of the Federation army from other directions.

At this moment, an elite elven army of about 10,000 men was moving at great speed through the forest, approaching the Federation army's coastal base.

Having witnessed the power of the disc drones during the landing operation, the commander of the Elf army realized that it would be difficult for the Elf army to gain the upper hand if the Federation army engaged in a melee in the forest.

Normally, the forest is the home ground of elves, and in battles within the forest, elves should be able to win with fewer troops and gain an absolute advantage.

However, the appearance of the disc drones changed this, because the corrupt nature was a weakness that the elves could neither overcome nor resist, and once affected by the potion of pleasure, they would be completely doomed.

Therefore, without strong opponents or defensive cover, the vast majority of elven soldiers would inevitably be defeated if they encountered the Federation's disc drones.

What alarmed the elven army commander even more was the information brought back by the elven scouts about the Federation's coastal base. She knew very well how fast the Federation could manufacture disc drones, and that using precious elven mages to outmaneuver cheap magical drones was the most foolish thing to do.

Therefore, the commander of the elven army simply abandoned the plan to intercept the enemy in the forest. Instead, she planned to lure the main force of the Federation army into the depths of the forest, creating enough distance between them and the coastal base, before launching a surprise attack on the coastal base with elite forces to destroy the Federation's magical drone production line.

To ensure the success of this operation, all the elven soldiers participating in the raid were skilled mages who had advanced for decades, and most of the powerful mages were also deployed, showing that they were determined to succeed.

Soon, the elite elven forces participating in the raid approached the coast and secretly observed the area where the first round of fighting had taken place the day before.

Once they confirmed that the defense deployment and intelligence of the Federation's coastal base were basically consistent and that there were only four legions, they decisively launched an attack.

A federal army legion has about 5000 people, but the number of master mages in each legion is usually less than 1%, and awakened mages are only about half. The rest of the officers and soldiers are just ordinary magic affinity users equipped with magic devices.

Therefore, although the Federation forces at the coastal base outnumbered the elite elves by more than twice, the difference in individual strength was too great, and they were no match for the elite elves who were all mages.

Fortunately, the gap between humans and elves in individual strength has been a long-standing issue, and the Federation army has never been afraid of this.

If individual strength is inferior to that of the enemy, then form a united front and rely on fortifications to launch a counterattack. The Federation Navy warships at sea also provided artillery support immediately after discovering the Elven offensive. The brigadier general who stayed behind at the coastal base took the lead and stood at the forefront.

The attacks from the strong and the naval cannons gave the Federation forces a brief advantage, but this didn't last long, because the elite elves who came to launch the surprise attack also included many strong individuals.

The six Grand Magus Princesses attacked almost simultaneously, bombarding the Federation Brigadier General with magic until he was a complete bruise. This triggered his emergency life-saving magic device, teleporting him back to the holy water pool in the base to lie down. Any later and he would have been dead.

After instantly eliminating the Federation Army's only strongman, the six Crimson Moon Princesses used the Flame of Life to engulf all 10,000-plus elite elves who had launched the surprise attack.

With the aid of the Flame of Life, the elite elves charged into battle directly under the barrage of fire. Even when magical shells exploded at their feet and blasted them away, they could still get up, dust themselves off, and continue fighting, bathed in the Flame of Life.

Soon, the defenses of the Federation's coastal base were breached, and the elite elves stormed into the base one after another, making the Federation Navy on the sea hesitant to use naval gunfire to cover the area, lest they accidentally injure their own comrades.

The coastal base is something the Federation forces absolutely cannot afford to lose.

Given that the coastal base was attacked by the Elven elites, it would be too late and not worthwhile for the main force of the Federation Army to return to support it. The best solution would be to send only the strongest to the aid. Currently, there is only one strong individual in the Federation Army who can turn the tide of the battle single-handedly.

A crack shimmering with holy light suddenly appeared in the sky above the coastal base, and roughly four legions of heroic warriors joined the battle, instantly reinforcing the defenses and stabilizing the already precarious Federal Army's defensive line.

"As expected, the Federation's witch has returned. Commander, you were absolutely right!"

Behind the elite elves, a hidden elven warrior witnessed this scene and quickly used magic to send a message, reporting the situation to the main elven army.

At the front line, about 200 kilometers from the capital of the Elf King, the main force of the Federation Army was suddenly attacked by summoned creatures with even greater ferocity. Among the monsters participating in the attack were even dragons controlled by contract magic.

As former overlords of the skies, dragons alone would be nothing more than easy targets for the Federation's magical warships. However, a multi-headed dragon attacking in conjunction with an elven mage could still pose a significant threat to the Federation's magical warships. Moreover, there were also powerful individuals participating in the attack.

Around the same time that Emerald appeared at the coastal base, the main force of the Federation army at the front line finally suffered a strong attack from the elven army, and powerful figures such as the commander of the elven army and Princess Scarlet Moon personally took action.

Without the Heroic Legion as a high-quality front-line tank to absorb damage, the Federation troops faced significantly more difficulties against the Elven army's attacks.

The three magic warships, which were supposed to provide aerial fire support and cover, were now preoccupied with the fierce attacks from the dragon horde and the powerful elves.

Fortunately, most of the Elven elite soldiers had gone to raid the coastal base, and most of those remaining were only at the level of apprentice mages. Their overall strength was still stronger than that of the Federation soldiers who had temporarily lost the cover of the magic warships, but not by much.

After an initial period of minor panic, the federal soldiers quickly calmed down under the command of their officers and focused on defense. Although they were somewhat frustrated by the suppression, their casualties were not significant.

However, the situation in the aerial battlefield is not optimistic, as both Princess Scarlet Moon and the Elf commander are extremely powerful.

Princess Scarlet Moon alone could easily defeat all the Federation brigadiers, including Judy. The elven commander was a very rare dragon-riding mage who controlled the dragon horde, and she also had three powerful ancient red dragons by her side.

This was a tactic meticulously designed by the Elven commander.

First, use elite forces to bypass the main force of the Federation army and launch a surprise attack on the Federation's coastal base. After luring Amelie away, personally lead the remaining elven army to attack the main force of the Federation army.

At the coastal base, the Moon Guard leader can hold back Emerald, while on the main force side, Princess Scarlet Moon and the Elf Commander work together to ensure the absolute advantage of top-tier combat power.

In this way, even if Amelie is very capable, she can only protect one side. So whether she successfully destroys the coastal base or shoots down one or two magic warships, it will be a huge gain for the Elven race, and there will not be any major losses.

This is how it should be.

Unfortunately……

At the coastal base, when Emery returned, she was naturally accompanied by Spike, and she easily turned the tide of the battle with a single move.

While summoning the Heroic Spirit Legion to stabilize the base's defenses, Emerald personally called out the names of the Crimson Moon Princesses who participated in the attack, directly condensing holy crystals around their bodies to seal them all away and turn them into prisoners.

"What powerful sealing magic! What a terrifying witch!"

Witnessing Emerald's display of power, the Moon Guard leader sighed, then smugly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, locking onto Silbis beside Emerald with his killing intent:

"It's just a pity you have to protect that burden, then there's nothing to be afraid of."

In the minds of the Elf Commander and the Moon Guard Leader, once Emeryte discovered the intense killing intent and locked onto Spe, she should have immediately abandoned the attack and focused all her energy on vigilance and defense.

After all, Spiby is really important to Emerald right now, and if Spiby dies, many things will become very complicated.

Unexpectedly, Emerald showed no intention of stopping. The sacred crystal continued to devour the Crimson Moon Princesses, attempting to seal them completely.

"……what?"

This unexpected situation left the Moon Guard leader momentarily stunned, his back and palms almost sweating.

Ever since his deadly arrow was countered by Emerald and he was almost killed in retaliation, the Moon Guard leader has always been deeply afraid of Emerald.

Therefore, in the subsequent battle, she only dared to use her killing intent to lock onto Spe and intimidate Emerald, and did not dare to fire a second arrow.

The Moon Guard leader's magic, which conceals his form, has only one flaw: it briefly exposes him the moment he fires an arrow.

The last time the Moon Guard leader was able to escape Emerald's counterattack, it was because she took Emerald by surprise and used magic to hide herself again in the instant Emerald reacted to the arrow.

But with Amelie already aware of her existence, the Moon Guard leader dared not gamble on whether he would have the same luck a second time.

Are we just going to stand by and do nothing? Let the Federation witch seal all the Crimson Moon Princesses in the raiding party and then wipe out all the elite elves who participated in the raid?

...No, if I do that, even if I manage to get back alive, I'll be executed for ruining the plan...The current Theresa Hime is truly terrifying.

While struggling with her dilemma, the Moon Guard leader suddenly realized that her skirt was wet; in her extreme nervousness, she had unknowingly urinated.

"What... So I peed. I knew it. Even a Federation witch shouldn't be able to scare me into a cold sweat."

She offered herself a few words of comfort, feigning optimism and self-deprecation. Seeing that the Crimson Moon Princesses were basically left with only their feet, encased in black stockings, yet to be devoured by the sacred crystal, the Moon Guard leader knew she had no time to hesitate any longer.

Fight!

Refocusing his mind and pouring all his life's learning into the next strike, the Moon Guard leader released the bowstring.

!

Despite exceeding 30 times the speed of sound, the jet-black arrow made no sound and reflected no light as it shot towards Spe, who was standing next to Emerald.

Become!

Recalling the feeling of the arrow being shot, the Moon Guard leader breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly activated her magic again to hide herself.

The arrow was in better condition than she had expected. Even the Federation's witches would definitely need to stop sealing the Crimson Moon Princesses to deal with it, and they would need time to react. This time was enough for the Moon Guard leader to hide himself again to ensure his safety.

"Varied……"

But that was the last thought of the Moon Guard leader in his life.

She never expected that while Emerald had indeed temporarily abandoned sealing the Crimson Moon Princesses, she would completely ignore the arrows she shot and instead pinpoint her location the instant the arrows were fired.

The last thing the Moon Guard leader saw was that gleaming golden right eye.

The legendary witch's eye, said to kill anyone who glares at it.
