"How was it, Princess? Did you find out anything?"
"Mm, I found out the location of their remaining members."
As for the Order members' plans, she naturally couldn't possibly tell the general. Otherwise, both sides would inevitably engage in battle.
She knew that even if she explicitly forbade these soldiers from interfering with this matter, the general would probably be the first to disagree.
Letting their own Princess be captured while just watching helplessly? Wouldn't that be like telling others that he was trash who couldn't even protect his own Princess?
"Xiyan."
"What is it? Your Highness."
"I need you to take care of several of these locations."
Before long, the little Princess had circled three places.
"Just these places. First go eliminate these two strongholds. Call a few soldiers. After knocking them down, just tie them up directly."
She didn't plan to have these people die. Just confining them was sufficient.
Immediately after, the little Princess used her pen to point at the last circle:
"The last location is also the one closest to where we are. Elysia is here. The other two strongholds are both behind, with things blocking them. As long as no commotion is made, Elysia won't notice anything is wrong."
"Understood."
"Xiao Xi."
"Present."
"Help me hurry them up a bit regarding the information I requested."
"Yes."
After sending the Maid Xiao Xi away, the little Princess quickly beckoned Xiyan over.
"Princess, what is it?"
"Here, take this to use. When you encounter Elysia, just use it directly on her."
The little Princess handed several high-grade Magic Scrolls into the little loli maid Xiyan's hands.
Six high-grade Magic Scrolls. No matter how strong Elysia was, as long as her strength hadn't reached Great Archmage level, these scrolls were already completely enough for her to have her hands full. At least for several days, she would have difficulty recovering.
Although she didn't have even the slightest bit of talent for magic, this didn't prevent her from understanding some things related to magic...
"Alright, I won't let Lady Mo down!"
"Mm mm, go, go."
The little Princess rubbed Xiyan's head.
Then she put her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping over the grass beside her.
"......"
She always felt that these past few days, someone had been watching her every move. Was it an illusion?
It should be an illusion, right? There were so many patrolling soldiers in the military camp. Even if Red Leaf came, it would be very difficult to avoid detection, especially when there were other Archmages present in the military camp.
Even Invisibility Magic fundamentally couldn't possibly allow someone to remain concealed in the military camp conducting surveillance the whole time.
It must be an illusion, right?
......
......
The entire day was spent waiting for news in her own tent. Xiyan had been dispatched by her to destroy the main stronghold, and a portion of soldiers had also gone out to circle around from afar to the rear of other strongholds to launch attacks. Only the Maid Xiao Xi remained by her side the whole time protecting her.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi."
"What is it? Princess."
"So why hasn't the information I requested arrived yet?"
"Well... I'll urge them again."
"Then I'll trouble Xiao Xi."
She didn't know why, but those several people she dispatched to collect information hadn't returned with even the slightest bit of information until now. She didn't know if some situation had occurred.
With only herself remaining alone in the tent, the little Princess began rolling around out of boredom.
The time was about right. In a little while it should be evening, and then Red Leaf should also be taking action around this time, right?
She guessed.
Red Leaf had come to find Xiyan last night, so the time for action should be tonight.
"Xuan? Are you awake?"
The little Princess tried calling out. She received no response at all.
Well, forget it. Perhaps that little loli Xuan was too exhausted recently?
"Princess!"
This time, the one who came was the general. The large amount of dust staining his body proved that the general had already led troops in surprise attacks on all the strongholds assigned to him, right?
"Princess, the strongholds have all been destroyed. A total of 43 Abundance Order members were captured."
"Very well done. As expected, the general is reliable."
"Not at all. It's all because Princess's strategies are good. I merely did things according to your instructions."
The general continuously flattered her, praising the little Princess in a chaotic manner, praising her as if she were omnipotent. The little Princess was also praised until her face turned red.
"Ahem, alright. Since the mission is already complete, go rest well. General, you should also be tired, right?"
"Not tired. However, I still have some matters to report to Princess."
"Speak."
The little Princess sat on the stool, propping up her cheeks with both hands, waiting for the general to report.
The general tugged at his belt and leaned close to the little Princess's ear:
"Lady Saint, it's time for us to return."
Mo: "!!!"
La... Lady Saint!?
After reacting, the little Princess hastily jumped off the stool, pulling away distance and wanting to take out a Magic Scroll from her Magic Space Ring to attack.
"That won't do, Princess."
Grabbing the little Princess's small hand that had only moved halfway, the general's body began separating moisture. His figure and face gradually transformed into Elysia's appearance.
"Elysia!?"
"What? Is Lady Saint very shocked? That captured member at the beginning was bait I specially arranged for Lady Saint, you know?"
"What!?"
The little Princess gritted her teeth. She hadn't thought she would fall for such a low-level trick.
She should have realized earlier. If that Order member truly knew so much, it would be impossible for him not to know that she had escaped on her own.
"Elysia... Was that cannon fodder you pushed out?"
"Of course."
Elysia didn't deny it.
"If it can make you return, even sacrificing some believers is acceptable, right?"
Since they worship the great Deity of Abundance, then dedicating themselves for the great Deity of Abundance should be no problem, right?
"Alright, we should be going, Lady Saint."
The little Princess was robbed of her Magic Space Ring without any ability to resist. Then after tying up the little Princess a bit, Elysia shouldered her and walked outside.
"Mmph mmph!"
"Princess?"
The Maid Xiao Xi, who had just returned and saw this scene, immediately tossed aside the documents in her hand and drew the sword at her waist, aiming it at Elysia.
"Put Princess down!"
The Maid Xiao Xi shouted at Elysia.
Elysia merely drew out a giant scythe and held it horizontally in front of herself. As long as the Maid Xiao Xi charged forward, she would unhesitatingly sweep the scythe across.
Of course, she also didn't plan to harm her life. After all, this was the most favored maid by Lady Saint's side. If she really was eliminated by her here, Lady Saint would definitely blame her, right?
Her purpose in coming here was only one thing: to bring Lady Saint back. She didn't plan to create additional complications or provoke more troublesome matters.
