How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 129 : The Taciturn Chief of Staff
"Elite forces? What do you an?"
This question imdiately confused Chris.
Logically, the current guard forces shouldn't have any so-called "elite forces."
Although Chris was new here, these two-plus weeks of work experience had already made this workaholic lady thoroughly familiar with the security departnt.
So she was puzzled by Aelia's question.
The entire security departnt only had three hundred "Judgnt Knights" that could barely be called "elite" for fighting serious criminals, and these had been borrowed from Cecilia not long ago.
As a mber of the army, there was no way Aelia would want back these knights that Chris had just borrowed from the Imperial Guard, right?
But if it wasn't this, then what could it be?
Seeing the puzzled Chris, Aelia thought for a mont but couldn't think of what that force should specifically be called, so she had to say directly:
"That... mage force that can make people fall asleep."
"A mage force that can make people fall asleep?"
Chris was sowhat puzzled—did the security departnt have such a force?
Erin was the first to understand.
"Oh, I see. Chief of Staff must be referring to those graduates we were just discussing."
"Oh!" x2
Now both Elashia and Chris understood.
However, Elashia was sowhat puzzled.
"Aelia, what does the army want those students for?"
People who mastered this kind of magic numbered less than a thousand, and such a [Magic Guard] could cast spells at most three tis per day.
If these people were used against the goblin army under the Goblin Emperor's command, which numbered at least several hundred thousand goblins, they probably wouldn't be of much use.
Erin also said:
"Hmm... your army might not understand these students deeply. To enable them to graduate ahead of regular students, I only had them learn [Sleep Spell] at school."
"And because their level of magic cultivation is shallow, they can only cast spells a few tis per day. Plus these people were all trained for the security departnt, so their numbers aren't large. They probably can't handle military tasks."
However, Aelia shook her head.
"No, I understand this force very well, which is why I went to ask Lady Candice about this matter."
Then, Aelia suddenly stopped talking.
Aelia just remained silent like this, looking at Elashia.
But everyone present knew—she must be brewing so words.
At this ti, Aelia's mind was recalling those past encounters with goblins...
In countless past encounters with goblin hostage threats, she had managed to save the hostages most of the ti.
But she couldn't do it every ti.
Faced with hostages killed by enraged goblins, she could only bury them with a sorrowful heart.
After learning about the "Goblin Emperor," she realized—in future confrontations with goblin armies, the hostage problem might beco a difficult issue to resolve.
Therefore—she had to prepare for a rainy day.
Seeing Aelia suddenly fall silent, just as Elashia was about to say sothing, the system notification ca.
[System Task Issued]
[Task One: Seeing Aelia suddenly fall into silence, you directly question her in front of everyone—"Why aren't you talking? Do you have so unspeakable purpose?" Task Reward: Human King Sword (Weapon)]
[Task Two: Just quietly wait for Aelia's continuation, saying nothing—"..." Task Reward: Mage level increases by one]
[Task Three: Agree to her without thinking and directly order Chris to assign these graduates to the army—"Alright, Aelia, you don't need to say more. Chris, quickly recruit these graduates and lend them to the army for a while." Task Reward: Warrior level increases by one]
[Task Four: Show Aelia a ghostly smile in front of everyone—"I can have them cooperate with you, but... since it's getting late today, why don't you sleep in my room after we finish talking?" Task Reward: Heaven-Breaking Spear (Weapon)]
As ti froze, Elashia looking at the task options before her thought carefully for a while.
Why had Aelia suddenly fallen silent just now?
You had to know, although Aelia usually didn't like to talk, she absolutely wouldn't suddenly fall silent during a conversation with others.
Because doing so wasn't polite.
Elashia thought for a mont and suddenly understood!
In the plot, when the goblin army besieged the Imperial Capital, to disable the long-range weapons that Elasians were proud of, they actually tied the captured won from the caves to shields for advancing!
At that ti, Elashia faced two choices.
Order soldiers to shoot arrows, or order soldiers to stop shooting.
If she ordered soldiers to stop shooting, it would cause the Elasian army's morale to decrease [significantly], and also prohibit the use of crossbows and magic crossbows in subsequent battles.
But if she ordered soldiers to continue shooting, it would cause the Elasian Imperial Guard's morale to decrease [catastrophically], and this debuff would persist until Elasia's destruction.
So this was also why most human route players were shown a CG when facing the [Goblin Emperor].
No matter what you did, it seed wrong.
Elashia had long prepared for this.
As soon as the [Goblin Emperor] used this move, she would directly have Cecilia order the arrows fired.
There was no other way—without long-range weapons, the Elasian Imperial Guard would be like a tiger without claws, and even if they could win in subsequent battles, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
But now it seed Aelia's expert suggestion might also solve this problem.
Looking at the four options again.
Hmm...
Task One and Task Four should be ruled out first.
First eliminate the outrageous options.
Task One would obviously make her seem like she didn't trust Aelia—couldn't choose it.
Task Four was as outrageous as always—couldn't choose it.
Looking at Task Two and Task Three again.
From the rewards, both options seed quite safe.
But Elashia thought again.
Task Two didn't seem as good as Task Three.
After all, Aelia was a character who didn't like to talk much.
Although she would still agree to her request later, making a character who didn't like to talk suddenly say a lot just to get people was really making things difficult for her.
From the most prudent perspective, Elashia still chose Task Three.
Without waiting for Aelia to speak, Elashia preemptively said:
"Alright, Aelia, you don't need to say more. Chris, quickly recruit these graduates and lend them to the army for a while."
Although Elashia's words were sowhat sudden, Chris imdiately responded:
"Your subordinate obeys."
Anyway, the magic academy had only been established for about half a year, and no one had used magic for cri yet. Those Judgnt Knights were enough for Chris to use, and these people would just be idle anyway.
Erin just smiled and said nothing.
After all, she had absolute trust in Her Majesty the Empress's ability to judge people.
Moreover, she could sense a pure feeling from that little girl wearing full-coverage armor.
People who gave Erin this feeling were generally not problematic people.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing Elashia agree to her request, Aelia just bowed to Elashia and turned to leave.
"Hey..."
Chris reached out toward Aelia, wanting to keep her for a mont.
How could she leave so soon after arriving?
Seeing Chris want to keep Aelia, Elashia stopped her.
After Aelia left, Elashia said to Chris with a sowhat embarrassed smile:
"She has almost nothing but goblins in her eyes, so she's always like this. Don't mind it."
After hearing this, Chris just smiled.
She had been in the Elasian Empire for half a month now. Although the ti wasn't short, she had really t all kinds of people.
Elashia, the empress who didn't manage anything and wouldn't let her work overti; Erin, who had inherited Suk's special skills but didn't hate her, and even took special care of her; female knight Cecilia, who blushed whenever Elashia was ntioned; and Lady Candice, who would co scold her whenever she stayed up working overti...
Now she had t a taciturn chief of staff...
Although these people's personalities and behaviors were all sowhat peculiar, they were all extrely kind people.
Now she felt her life was much happier than when she was in Yage City.
Not only did she have "friends" she had never dared to dream of before, but her rest ti had also increased greatly—she no longer had to work beyond capacity.
Her subordinates would automatically complete their duties quickly, basically not requiring her to worry too much.
This was so much better than when she had to shoulder everything alone before.
Looking at the pink-haired girl before her who was smiling embarrassedly because of Aelia, Chris's gaze beca increasingly gentle...
