After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 36

36~ Blitz~

The day to dispatch troops had quickly arrived. Scarlet Phoenix Nation sent a large number of troops toward Donglai, directly having the main force prepare to launch an attack. Among them, they even extravagantly deployed two Archmages to blast open the opponent's city gates in order to launch a surprise attack in the shortest time possible.

Cold weapon warfare wasn't like modern warfare with its hail of bullets, and it was very difficult to react in a short time to integrate troops and counterattack...

"First block the opponent's important transportation routes. It would be best to directly demolish these important bridges. You must destroy and occupy these key transportation nodes."

The little Princess pointed to parts of Donglai Nation's map marked with bridges. These bridges were without exception important external transportation bridges for the city they were preparing to attack. Some bridges left behind were for their own large forces to advance through. These places needed to be occupied.

"Next are these places."

The little Princess pointed out Donglai Nation's ports.

"We need cavalry to quickly occupy the ports so the army can land from the ports. This is closest to the opponent's military command and is also a place where forces are relatively weak. So the troops landing from the sea don't need to be too many, but also can't be too few. However, it's best if they're all elite soldiers. Take down this command center as quickly as possible. As long as we can take it down, the pressure on the frontal battlefield can be greatly reduced."

The military's command center was also an important battlefield information exchange point. This way, they could turn the enemy into a situation of a group of dragons without a head. A military force without cohesion was just scattered sand that would disperse with one blow.

Considering that in this world, apart from mages, no one else possessed aerial combat capabilities, air superiority wasn't within the little Princess's scope of consideration. As long as their own mages paid attention and didn't let enemy mages fly over to cause chaos, it would be fine.

"Remember, the occupied transportation nodes must ensure our main forces can advance forward unimpeded, tear through enemy defensive lines, quickly push all the way to the rear of the enemy's main force, then implement an encirclement of the enemy forces.

During this period, mages capable of bombardment must definitely assemble to bombard areas of strong enemy resistance, clearing obstacles for the main military forces."

The main forces were mostly heavy armored knights and light armored knights. Both the horse armor and the armor on their own bodies were forged from Black Gold and Mithril, with maxed-out defense stats, and possessing horses they could rapidly advance and retreat.

......

The little Princess held the planning document and pointed at the map, explaining a great deal, continuously instructing and explaining the content written in the planning document to the generals present. At this moment, she was like a commander pointing out strategies.

"Did everyone understand?"

She had expressed all the tasks to be assigned in the most concise and clear language. If they didn't understand, then she really had no solution.

Fortunately, the intelligence of all the generals wasn't low. They all understood her arrangements. After consuming a large amount of mental energy, she also felt she couldn't hold on anymore and hastily tugged at the Empress's clothes.

"Apologies, everyone. Mo just recovered from a serious illness... ahem, Divine Punishment just passed. She's tired now and needs to rest. I will take her away first. You just need to do as Mo has arranged. Understand?"

"Understood." ×N

Thus, the tactics to be used for the entire war situation were decided. The tactic called "Blitzkrieg" spread through the various military camps as something miraculous. But the common point among them was that everyone knew "Blitzkrieg" was formulated by their Princess Mo.

"What are you worried about?"

The Empress played with the little Princess's small face and asked.

"...Worried there are some flaws in the tactics."

The little Princess answered honestly.

She was afraid the tactics she provided had some flaws, so she picked up the planning document and checked it several more times. She didn't discover any problems, but was just afraid she had problems.

Just like the college entrance examination. Knowing it was very important, so after finishing the questions, if there was still time left, she would repeatedly check several times.

"Don't look anymore. Rest well. You're tired, Mo."

She snatched the planning document from the little Princess's hand in one motion, then forcibly carried her to the bed and covered her with a blanket.

"What you need is rest, not worrying about this and that here."

"But..."

"If you don't sleep, I'll have to use my method to help you sleep."

As she spoke, the Empress gripped her face tightly. It looked like she was about to properly "reward" her.

Then she immediately chose to close her eyes and sleep. Due to fatigue's enhancement, she also fell asleep immediately.

The little Princess fell into sweet dreams. The Empress sat at the bedside gently stroking the little Princess, her eyes full of doting affection.

The letter personally written by the little Princess had already been sent to Glaze Nation. It probably wouldn't be long before she could obtain large quantities of Black Gold to use for military purposes, enough to alleviate the demands on the military's side.

She had also personally reviewed the Blitzkrieg planning document. She herself also felt the little Princess's arrangements had no problems. It could even be said to be impeccable. Yet she still worried about not doing well. Perhaps this was her unique personal charm? Clearly having already done her best yet still seeking perfection.

The Empress lightly pecked the little Princess's face, then no longer disturbed her rest.

......

......

"War report, war report! Scarlet Phoenix Nation successfully conquered Donglai Nation in just thirteen days!"

"Your Majesty..."

"I know. Don't worry."

Gong raised his hand to signal Maid Xiao Xi to set her mind at ease.

"This was Mo's doing, right? Scarlet Phoenix Nation has never used this kind of tactic to attack before."

Moreover, it was extremely similar to a tactic his precious daughter had described to him. It was basically carved from the same mold as the tactic Scarlet Phoenix Nation used to attack Donglai Nation, only deformed but not fundamentally changed. In fine details there might be some slight differences, but overall it was consistent.

"As expected, I've truly gotten old. I can't even compare to my own daughter anymore."

Gong tapped his spine and sighed.

"Your Majesty has exceptional qualities. The people's trust in Your Majesty isn't something ordinary people can compare to."

"But if this continues, even if that girl doesn't want to inherit the throne, her reputation will sooner or later surpass mine, won't it?"

At the root of it, Mo simply had never thought about competing for the throne. Otherwise, how could the other princes and princesses possibly have a chance? All that talk about her body being too weak to be a ruler was bullshit!

When a ruler could lead a nation toward prosperity and strength, then all subjects would love and support them. Those fine flaws compared to this simply weren't worth mentioning. Could a weak body not be nurtured?

"As expected, opportunities are reserved for young people. I recall Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Empress Fei just barely turned twenty-six, right?"

The youngest king in history, also the only female king to ascend to the throne in history. Truly unprecedented and likely never to be repeated. By now she had become the most powerful nation in the entire Eastern Region. Although her reputation wasn't too good, these were also great achievements that could leave a heavy mark in history.
