The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�

Emilia's idea was easy to say, but almost impossible to implement. After all, with the enemy already at her door, would they so easily agree to walk back and fight in their own home?

No matter how confident the crimson-haired girl was in her charm, even she wouldn't be stupid enough to believe she could convince even her enemies to make such concessions.

But that didn't mean she had no way out.

There was a reason she'd let Noelle and Sam stay in the country of Carmen, after all, and it was definitely not because of her so-called parents and the petty vengeance that the gray-haired girl didn't even care about.

White Deer Corporation's greatest 'asset' used to be only their wealth, but that was in the past.

Since they had been focusing heavily on increasing their production of weaponry and cultivating real strength instead of just wealth, it wouldn't be wrong to say that they'd long since been prepared to fight back and even crush most enemies.

However, as it had only been a few years since they left Oriana and really started working on Emilia's ideas, their current level was far from enough when it came to facing foes at the level of the Federation.

But just because they were sure to lose in a frontal fight... didn't mean that they were sure to lose.

With the addition of both the military arsenal and the troops from Carmen, the Empire of Blue Dawn and the White Deer Corporation were easily able to force a stalemate at their border. And with the additional support from Phoenix on its way, things weren't looking bad for their side at all.

Of course, the population of Phoenix wasn't that high, and most of their support would be coming in the form of both military and support equipment, but that was already enough to tip the scales in Emilia's favor.

After all, there was a reason Phoenix was considered trustworthy enough for so many high-level diplomats to gather there so frequently. And if Blue Dawn received so many unknown resources from them... even if they were all blank boxes, who would dare to cross a certain line when facing them in the future?

No one wanted to be the first in line when it came to forcing the enemy into mutual mass destruction, after all.

The situation at Blue Dawn's border was far from ideal for Emilia's side, however, and the crimson-haired girl knew it.

It was impossible to completely transfer all of Carmen's forces to Blue Dawn in a short period of time, and what they now had was only thanks to being prepared far earlier than they should have been.

It was even more impossible upgrade their weapons and equipment further, and Emilia felt that it was already a miracle that they were pretty much on equal footing with their opponents.

But if they continued to just barely scare off the enemy aircraft and prevent their ground troops from moving forward... it wouldn't be long before the reinforcements from the Federation's allies started pouring in to forcefully shake off that kind of delicate balance.

At that time, wouldn't they be no better than fish on the chopping block?

Emilia sighed. 'I guess there is no choice but to use that, then...'

â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�â"�

As early as they'd started capturing the rampant criminals in the country of Carmen, the matter of dealing with them had become a topic of much hot debate.

However, what no one realized, was that their fate had been sealed the moment that Emilia decided to take charge of their country, and it was far from being as peaceful as they imagined.

"What the fuck! Did we just crash?!"

"Fuck yeah! My boys must be here to get me out of here. I knew they would come through for me soon--"

Of course, their voices were abruptly cut off when they heard the sounds of some distant gunshots, and some couldn't help but shiver in fear, feeling a chill down their spines.

"M-Maybe that's the reason for the tremor we felt earlier... something must have happened to our escorts."

Mixed with the fear in his voice was unprecedented excitement, as the man realized that this might just be the 'golden opportunity' he was looking for.

Ever since they'd been knocked out by that strange gas in their confinement facility and woken up in a wobbly metal box, none of them had had any idea of what was going on around them.

Though they could tell that they might have been taken to some higher level facility to contain them better, many couldn't help but have an ominous premonition, as if even a little carelessness could cost them their lives.

"W-We may not have much time... why not take this chance?"

Naturally, none of them dared to be too relaxed, and even with the faint gunshots in the background, they only dared to cautiously stick their ears to the metal walls of their 'container', and listen anxiously for any hints.

Not to mention any boots or the like, they couldn't even hear anyone breathing no matter how hard they tried.

Even if they knew it might be a trap... there was no way for these people to let go of this chance.

"This is no time to hesitate, boys, let's do this!"

With a few harsh bangs, the supposedly sturdy metal lock on the outside of the container broke, and a bunch of men came stumbling out into the light in shock.

"W-Where the fuck is this...?"

Of course, despite their curiosity and wonder, none of them dared to dally and risk being 'caught' once the soldiers escorting them finished dealing with whatever had distracted them so well.

"Let's get out of here first!"

Most of them were quite familiar with each other, so instead of scattering, they decided to stick together to increase the chances of being able to deal with any 'obstructions', and it proved to be a very wise decision indeed when they stumbled upon what they assumed to be their escorting soldiers' weapon cache shortly after.

"I-Is this a full-auto?!"

"Holy shit! Jackpot!"

Of course, they didn't dare celebrate for long, and after grabbing whatever they could in a hurry, the now armed gangsters continued 'escaping', never even realizing that they were no longer in the same country.
