How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 111 : Continuing Combat

On the other side, Aelia's battle was still ongoing.

In her view, as long as she couldn't confirm that all goblins were dead, the extermination wasn't finished.

This was her experience from many years.

Goblins, as creatures, didn't necessarily absolutely obey superior orders.

There might very well be goblins too scared to rush out, hiding inside and enduring the smoke.

Sure enough, in the cave there were several goblins that looked like they had been choked to death lying on the ground.

And how to handle this situation, Aelia had already discussed everything with the soldiers in advance.

Several spear-wielding soldiers, under the protection of shield guards, forcefully pierced through the goblin corpses on the ground.

Sure enough, several goblins began struggling frantically after being pierced.

But that was also futile.

The unit continued advancing, and before long, they discovered that this cave had two fork paths.

Aelia commanded:

"All personnel! One unit becos two units! Continue advancing!"

So the soldiers in the unit, after receiving orders, divided evenly into two units according to profession classification, and continued advancing in the cave.

This was also why Aelia brought a full hundred people.

In the cave, if fork paths appeared, the best choice was to divide into two units and advance, rather than exploring one completely before exploring another.

The reason was simple—goblins weren't stupid, they wouldn't just wait in place for the protagonists to arrive like in adventure novels.

If they only took one path, the goblins on the other unguarded path might very well co from behind for ambushes, leading to being ambushed and then caught in a pincer attack.

After several sounds, the goblins on the cave paths were completely exterminated.

The units regrouped in the depths of the cave and prepared to enter the deepest part of the cave.

Before entering, Aelia once again ordered the soldiers:

"Everyone, recite the Elasian Anti-Goblin Counterasure Unit precautions again!"

The soldiers imdiately said in unison:

"We will never miss any corner of the cave! Never spare any goblin! Never accept hostage threats!"

After the soldiers completed their recitation, Aelia issued the command:

"Everyone, advance toward the deepest part of the cave!"

The soldiers entered the cave at an extrely orderly but slow pace.

The scene in the deepest part of the cave was extrely frightening. If Elashia had also been present at this ti, seeing this scene might have given her nightmares for several nights.

In the cave, many limbs of unknown whether human or so other animal were exposed with bones, mixed with blood and thrown on the ground, with the sll of blood and stench hitting one's brain directly.

Several naked won were bound to the walls, and from their vacant eyes, it wasn't difficult to see they had long suffered countless inhuman treatnt.

In the innermost part of the cave, there were even several goblin cubs crawling about.

They showed sowhat humanized crying faces to the soldiers entering here, hoping to gain everyone's pity.

And the crossbow soldiers who had already received training didn't hesitate at all, directly shooting rcilessly at those goblin cubs.

Aelia had already written in the soldier code—goblins had no moral or compassionate emotions at all. Their external emotions were largely just tools specifically used to deceive humans or gain human pity.

Especially young goblins—they especially relied on their relatively small bodies to gain human sympathy.

Aelia had once witnessed—an adventurer who, after exterminating goblins in a cave, chose to turn and leave because of a goblin cub's pitiful appearance, ultimately dying from that young goblin's ambush.

And this incident was also written into the Anti-Goblin Counterasure Unit's instruction manual.

So the soldiers who had already been educated didn't hesitate even for a mont.

However, this was real combat after all, and uncontrollable factors would still appear.

One goblin cub, seeing that these humans seed impossible to deceive, imdiately put away the pitiful expression on its face and suddenly leaped toward those captured won!

Flying to a woman's neck, that goblin cub took out the weapon hidden behind it and made a strange cry.

"Gwala aji! (All of you put down your weapons, or I'll kill this woman!)"

Seeing this scene, that woman's originally vacant eyes also showed fear.

"Don't kill , please don't kill ..."

"Swoosh!"

A crossbow bolt pierced through the air, shooting through that young goblin and saving that woman.

Looking at the soldier who fired, Aelia nodded.

This was also one of the parts the Anti-Goblin Counterasure Unit extrely needed to pay attention to.

The hostage problem.

Although goblins were stupid, they were definitely not foolish—they would utilize almost everything that could possibly be utilized.

Whether it was human pity or hostages in hand, as long as sothing could possibly be utilized, they would definitely utilize it to the extre.

So Aelia had long ago added quite a lot of hostage-related content to the Anti-Goblin Counterasure Unit's manual and training.

It was absolutely impossible to really put down weapons because goblins held hostages.

But as humans, especially as an army representing the nation's will and image, directly using a volley of arrows to kill hostages and goblins all together was absolutely unacceptable.

Although Aelia had dealt almost exclusively with goblins in the first half of her life, the companions she t while exterminating goblins also ensured her humanity wasn't extinguished in this day-after-day combat.

So Aelia's tactic was this—among the hundred-person goblin extermination unit, there must be five marksn with excellent crossbow skills, specifically responsible for rescuing hostages.

These five marksn stood together, each nad from number one to five according to their crossbow skill proficiency.

Under normal circumstances, unless the previous number lost combat ability, all other snipers had to stand by.

And after the previous number lost combat ability, the next number would automatically take their position.

Only this way could absolute safety be guaranteed.

Seeing that young goblin directly hit in the head and killed, Aelia breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as snipers couldn't guarantee every shot would be 100% accurate, she also couldn't guarantee every operation could ensure hostage safety.

However, this was already the best thod.

Compared to other thods, this thod was most capable of ensuring hostage safety.

After repeated searches confirming there were no more goblins in the cave, Aelia finally ordered:

"Soldiers ten through fifteen! Rescue the victims!"

Those soldiers imdiately took out small knives from their waists after receiving the command, cut the ropes on those won, and brought them down from the walls.

A woman in relatively good ntal condition tremblingly thanked the soldiers:

"Thank you... adventurer... just bring us to nearby villages... I'll definitely repay you later..."

The soldier opened his face guard and made every effort to show a gentle smile.

"Please rest assured, we're not adventurers and don't need your repaynt. Just follow us from now on."

Seeing that the hostage rescue mission was completed, Aelia ordered:

"Extermination mission complete! Begin battlefield cleanup! Soldiers carrying victims bring victims to the dics!"
