How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 138 : Where's the Strategist

"Gua! (Fuck!)"

The [Goblin Emperor] angrily smashed the little goblin reporting numbers to it with an axe.

After calling all the [Goblin Kings] to count the numbers, the [Goblin Emperor] angrily discovered—including the two [Goblin Kings] that died due to its own mistakes, this battle had cost it a full eight [Goblin Kings]!

One [Goblin King] roughly commanded forty to fifty thousand troops, which ant—it had lost nearly four hundred thousand forces!

The Imperial Capital that it originally thought could be easily captured had now cost so many goblins without even touching the walls!

Its strategist was trembling beside it.

Originally in his expectations, this should have been a probing attack that would cost about ten to twenty thousand goblins.

However, who could have expected the changes on the battlefield to co so quickly.

The Elasian Imperial Guard that was obviously more than one level stronger than before; magic crossbows more terrifying than previously; the [Goblin Emperor] that got carried away mid-battle...

Now he himself felt that as a strategist, he had truly been derelict in his duties.

Without sufficient intelligence support, even the wisest sage couldn't make any comnts on the battle situation.

But he truly hadn't expected that after being away for just a few years, Elasia would undergo such trendous changes.

However, sothing even more unexpected was about to happen before his eyes.

The enraged [Goblin Emperor] suddenly turned its crimson eyes toward him!

"What use are you! Why didn't you remind just now!"

Its words made the strategist's eyes widen.

When I wanted to advise you, what was that look you gave ?!

Honestly, the strategist who had been a knight before really wanted to explode at it after hearing this.

But he didn't dare.

After all, even if he could win in a fight, he wouldn't survive.

So he could only lower his head and smile obsequiously:

"It's indeed this slave's fault. It's because this slave failed to remind Your Majesty that so many casualties occurred."

However, his words didn't seem to calm the [Goblin Emperor's] anger.

"Gua! (I'm fucking pissed! Give back my subordinates' lives!)"

The [Goblin Emperor] roared, swinging its double-bladed axe toward him.

He had known this would happen!

So he had long prepared!

He didn't want to die!

He wanted to live!

At this mont! Those evasion skills from his past as a knight burst forth again!

Thus, on this bloody battlefield, a scene both tragic and comic appeared.

The enraged [Goblin Emperor] fiercely swung its heavy axe at its strategist, while the strategist continuously dodged its attacks through extrely agile evasion techniques!

The strategist dodged while shouting loudly:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Give another chance! Just another chance! This ti I guarantee it will work!"

The [Goblin Emperor] didn't stop its movents, continuing to swing while roaring questions:

"Fuck you! What other thods do you have!"

The strategist dodged its attacks while speaking rapidly:

"Your Majesty! Listen to ! Elasia's ranged attack capability is too strong! We definitely can't break through with direct assault!"

"So! We can try! We can try through so sacrifices! To get our high-level combat power into the battlefield!"

"As long as we can get our high-level combat power! Into the battlefield! Cause enough damage to the enemies on the city walls! Other goblins can then set up ladders! And definitely charge onto the city walls!"

"Elasian soldiers excel at ranged combat! But are weak at lee! As long as we can charge up we'll definitely win!"

After hearing his words, the [Goblin Emperor] finally stopped its axe.

This plan sounded good.

Honestly, it knew the previous mistake was its own.

But it didn't want to admit this fact in its heart! So it had to find soone to vent its anger on!

Then make him take responsibility for what happened earlier!

Only this way could it feel better!

So it had been continuously hacking at its strategist with the double-bladed axe.

And now, after hacking for so long, it had finally mostly cald down.

Seeing the [Goblin Emperor] stop, the strategist gasped heavily:

"Hah... hah... my... my plan... is like this..."

After catching his breath for a long ti, he finally began:

"We first use the sa thod as before, having ordinary goblins rush together, which can first consu those powerful magic crossbows."

"Then, while the magic crossbows are cooling down, we have the [Goblin Giants] charge into the battlefield and throw stones at the enemy forces on the city walls, dealing devastating damage to enemy morale!"

"Then have so [Goblin Giants] bring a group of [Goblin Heroes] to within five hundred ters of the city walls, and directly have them throw the [Goblin Heroes] behind Elasia's city walls! This way we can directly disrupt the enemy's interior, and if the plan goes smoothly we can even attack the enemy from both front and rear!"

This plan was indeed good. The [Goblin Emperor] nodded and asked:

"Why can't they directly throw [Goblin Heroes] onto the city walls?"

After hearing this, the strategist shook his head.

"Your Majesty, listen to , it's not like that."

"We only have fifty-plus [Goblin Giants], and the damage they can actually cause is very limited."

"After all, these [Goblin Giants] must stand at positions over five hundred ters from the city walls, or they'll beco live targets for heavy crossbows, so attack accuracy definitely won't be very good."

"Including what I ntioned before about throwing stones to strike enemies on the city walls—the main goal isn't to cause casualties but to damage enemy morale."

"And if we try to throw [Goblin Heroes] onto the city walls, most [Goblin Heroes] will definitely just be thrown onto the walls and die from the fall!"

The [Goblin Emperor] nodded.

"Makes sense."

...

Cecilia calculated the ti and said to Elashia:

"Your Majesty, in about two to three hours it will be dawn. These goblins will most likely continue attacking during this ti."

Hearing Cecilia's words, Elashia's expression also beca grave.

From Cecilia's description earlier, Elashia learned sothing very important—the goblins' previous attack had been very disorganized.

But in the ga's plot it wasn't like this.

The [Goblin Emperor] had a forr high-ranking Imperial Guard knight as strategist, so logically their attacks under that strategist's guidance should have been very organized.

However, in military expert Cecilia's description, the goblins had even committed battlefield taboos that even low-ranking Imperial Guard officers knew very well.

So she judged that the [Goblin Emperor] very likely hadn't followed its strategist's guidance due to seeing the frustrated attack or so other reason.

But after suffering such a setback, the [Goblin Emperor] would most likely choose to listen to its strategist's advice again.

Moreover, although the goblin army had suffered considerable casualties in the previous attack, this was definitely not enough to make them lose the strength to continue attacking!

Thinking of this, Elashia said to Cecilia in a very serious voice:

"Cecilia, these goblins definitely won't continue attacking in that disorganized manner. You must be prepared to adapt at any ti."

"Previously, for so unknown reason, the [Goblin Emperor] seed not to have followed its strategist's advice, but after such a setback, it will definitely attack according to the strategist's guidance thod. We absolutely cannot underestimate them!"

Seeing the usually relaxed Elashia show such a serious expression, Cecilia also realized what the army would face next.

Looking toward the [Goblin Giants] standing outside the city walls, almost taller than the walls themselves, Cecilia showed an extrely serious expression.
