Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

"Sir, the front lines are about to fall apart." A soldier came running into the command tent. It had been five days since the world leaders all sent troops to aid Kriren the Land of Elves. But the enemy seemed to have endless numbers and sophisticated weapons way beyond that of even the dwarves. 

"I do not need you to tell me that. We have been pushed back over and over for the past five days. If this continues, we will have to pull off the continent." The leader of the joint army, an accredited general of the Rural Kingdoms Army, General Winecraft, never felt so bitter. Ever since he had arrived, he has been faced with defeat after defeat. All his plans and tactics were out gunned by the enemy's technology. 

"General, I have an idea, but I am not sure it will work..." A young girl's voice rang out in the command tent. 

Hearing the familiar voice, General Winecraft turned to see the youngest princess, Princess Tilia, standing there in her new form. He could only say her new form fit her very well. Not long after the war, Princess Tilia had finally evolved and also got a hidden class called the Sneaky Trickster, and her new race was none other than the sneakiest of them all, the tanuki! It fit her perfectly with how much sneaking around she does throughout the city digging out the lowlifes who wished to harm the citizens or how she would willfully sneak out of the castle to run to the front lines of war just like she was now. Her hair and skin were now completely white, and her eyes were a sky blue color that glittered like blue diamonds. The only part of her body that was not white was the sole black patch of fur on her right ear. Her healing abilities had also jumped by leaps and bounds, making her the strongest healer in the world. But seeing said princess here in the most dangerous part of the world where a battle with a powerful foe was raging, the General could only yell in his mind about how poor his luck was at this time since Princess Tilia was the most beloved princess of the entire Rural Kingdom. The king and even her brothers and sisters doted on her the most! "Princess, why are you here of all places? I specifically heard your father, the king, say you were not allowed to leave the kingdom!"

"Hehe!" Tilia stuck her tongue out, and as she walked to the table that held the map of the area, her tail swayed back and forth as she did. "I snuck out. I could not just sit by while the people of the world were fighting against an unknown enemy."

"Fine… Then Princess, what is your idea?" General Winecraft could only let out a sigh in defeat. The king could never stop his youngest daughter, never mind him. All the other army generals gave General Winecraft a look of pity, feeling sorry for him.

"It's simple. Have a unit do gorilla tactics, just like how the spike monkeys like to attack from all directions until their prey is dead. If we take a lesson from them, we can at least hold them off. Also, have a spot that if things do keep going as is, that will lead the enemy into a trap. On the map here and here." Tilia pointed to a small gorge. "If we were to line the whole area with traps and dig a tunnel that leads to the far side, we can have a path of retreat. Set up a teleport on the far beach in an illusion array so we can escape if needed. But this will be our last resort. First, we will try to attack in different rotations from all sides. Then if this does not seem to work, we retreat. I know it sounds bad to have to flee when there is still too much land left, but we have to remember. We do not know the enemy's goals. Today it will be Kriren, but what about tomorrow? If we fight a losing battle here, we will be on the losing end, and after the last war, our resources are not that good." Tilia paused and looked at the elf general.

"Sir, I know this is your homeland, but I am sure you understand where I am coming from." Tilia was only looking at things realistically. When she first got here, she snuck around to take a peek at the war with her new stealth skills. What she saw made her realize just how much they were on the losing side.

The Elf General looked into Tilia's eyes and sighed deeply. His heart pained to say it but what the little princess in front of him said was true. "We will do as the Princess says. We have already lost a good deal of our men. Let's not lose more lives if possible."

"Then I will send my team towards this gorge and begin preparations. It should take no more than two days to do as the Princess has suggested." The dwarf general also agreed with Tilia's plan.

"Then it is settled. Princess, we will put the teams together now for the gorilla tactics you spoke of." General Winecraft waved his hand, but it paused mid air when he heard Tilai's next words.

"I will lead the team who will be doing the gorilla tactics. They are just hit and run tactics. I want thirty of your fastest men." Tilia spoke with her eyebrow raised. Her expression said I am not taking no for an answer.

"Princess this… If anything happened to you..." general Wincraft wanted to cry. If the princess died, he did not have enough lives to make up for her death the people would skin him alive!

"It is already decided just give me your fastest men. Now hurry, we do not have time." After saying that Tilia walked out of the tent. General Winecraft held his head before standing up. The other generals' gazes were filled with much more pity than they were before.
