How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 139 : Fire Everything!
Before long, just as Cecilia expected, the [Goblin Emperor] launched another attack!
This attack seed to have no major differences from the previous one.
The goblin army still charged toward the city walls clustered together as before.
However, Elashia hovering above the city walls clearly observed the abnormality within!
At this mont, the familiar system notification sound rang in Elashia's ears again!
[System Task Issued]
[Task One: To preserve trump cards, imdiately transmit to Cecilia—"Don't use magic crossbows!" Task Reward: Ice Magic Ring (Skill)]
[Task Two: Command Cecilia—"Fire every single magic crossbow bolt!" Task Reward: Demon-Slaying Blade (Weapon)]
[Task Three: Command Cecilia to keep at least ten magic crossbows—"Cecilia! Don't fire them all! We'll be finished if the [Goblin Giants] charge over!" Task Reward: Warrior level increases by one]
What was there to ask? I'd definitely choose Task Three... this ti it seems I don't need to play it safe?
Elashia suddenly thought—she seed to still have a trump card that could deal with [Goblin Giants].
This trump card—that goblin strategist definitely couldn't know about it!
Moreover, even if [Goblin Giants] and other goblin elite units charged over, they would definitely only be like in the ga, not charging directly at the city walls but standing beyond the heavy crossbows' attack range to throw stones at the walls or throw [Goblin Heroes] at the city to attack Elasia's rear.
And for these, Elashia had actually prepared long ago!
Most importantly, the reward for Task Two—if she could get the [Demon-Slaying Blade] now, Elashia would be confident of surviving the subsequent [Beast Tide] event!
Moreover, this would also allow her favorite character Alexandra to fulfill her destiny...
So this ti, Elashia abandoned her long-standing conservative principle and chose Task Two!
"System! I choose Task Two!"
[Acknowledged]
After choosing the task, Elashia imdiately commanded Cecilia:
"Cecilia! When the enemy forces charge within one li, directly command all magic crossbows to fire!"
"Don't conserve strength! Go full firepower!"
After hearing Elashia's command, Cecilia was first shocked.
You had to know—from when she t Elashia until now, Elashia had almost never commanded her on specific matters!
Why would Her Majesty command to have all magic crossbows fire?
Cecilia didn't know.
But she knew one thing—Elashia would never do anything she wasn't confident about!
Her trust in Elashia that was carved into her soul imdiately made Cecilia accept Elashia's command!
"Crossbow teams! All attention! After my signal, fire at enemy concentrations in sequence!"
...
"Your Majesty! Look! This plan really works!"
Seeing the goblin army positioned even more densely than before successfully attracting Elasia's magic crossbows, the strategist called out excitedly.
This plan was going too smoothly!
Watching goblins being blown into the sky one by one by these terrifying explosions, the [Goblin Emperor] snorted coldly.
"If we still can't take this city this ti, you better wait and see!"
This cost was sowhat too great.
Just to attract the magic crossbows' firepower, nearly one hundred thousand goblins were sent to the sky in almost an instant!
This battlefield almost instantly beca hell on earth in the terrifying explosions.
Combined with the corpses accumulated from the previous attack, there was almost no place to step on the entire battlefield!
Goblin corpses were everywhere...
The air even carried the stench of goblins' flesh being charred...
The battlefield that had originally been almost filled with charging goblins suddenly returned to silence...
However, for the [Goblin Emperor], as long as this city could be captured, all of this would be worth it!
"One, two... sixty-seven! Good! The enemy has no more magic crossbows to use! Now one li away is absolutely safe! The [Goblin Giants] can charge over!"
The strategist who had rembered the number of magic crossbows in the previous battle shouted excitedly.
Hearing the strategist's voice, the [Goblin Emperor] imdiately ordered:
"Gua!!! (Full attack! Including all [Goblin Giants]!)"
Imdiately! The earth shook and mountains trembled!
[Goblin Prophets], [Goblin Heroes], [Goblin Giants], [Goblin Kings] and all other high-level goblins charged into the battlefield!
Watching this scene, the strategist felt it should basically be settled.
...
Watching this earth-shaking scene before her, Elashia's heart was extrely excited!
Actually, in most routes of the ga, after Elasia held off several waves of attacks, it was captured like this.
The goblin elite units were almost all highly recognizable.
A normal person could even tell from far away who were ordinary goblins and who were elite goblins.
[Goblin Giants] had bodies as massive as city walls; [Goblin Prophets] capable of using magic had entirely pure white bodies; unlike the small and short ordinary goblins, [Goblin Heroes] were as tall and strong as human strongn.
So these elite units charging into the battlefield were practically live targets for magic crossbows.
Therefore in the plot, these goblins first used human wave tactics to force Elasia's defenders to use magic crossbows for suppression.
Without the threat of magic crossbows, [Goblin Giants] could charge up to the city to throw stones at the walls and throw [Goblin Heroes] behind the city to attack Elasian soldiers' morale.
After this, the goblin elite units charging onto the battlefield would be relatively much safer.
Watching the goblins charging toward the city walls almost frantically under the [Goblin Emperor's] pressure, Elashia showed a contemptuous smile.
Goblins, although they could use strategies, were still far inferior to humans!
When playing the ga, Elashia who could counter-kill goblin armies even in worse situations than now had prepared countless chess pieces before the battle began!
Having spent over two thousand hours in the ga, she knew the goblin army before her like the back of her hand, even understanding the internal goblin situation better than the [Goblin Emperor] itself!
Watching the [Goblin Giants] finally charge to the front of the city walls, Elashia transmitted to Cecilia again:
"Cecilia! After the [Goblin Giants] throw stones at us, command the soldiers to reduce their firing rate!"
After hearing this puzzling command from Elashia, Cecilia showed a quite bright smile!
Combined with Elashia's previous command, she imdiately understood Elashia's purpose!
Turning to look at Elashia hovering in the air, Cecilia couldn't help but begin to doubt—could Elashia really not understand military matters?
Her Majesty's battlefield adaptability was no worse than the strategically brilliant Aelia!
...
"Roar!!!"
The [Goblin Giants] that finally charged into the battlefield began throwing stones at the city walls like mad.
The stones striking the city walls made quite loud sounds.
However, the Imperial Capital's walls were very thick and couldn't be damaged by stones at all.
Yet logically, the soldiers standing on the city walls should have been frightened by these massive stones.
But... the current Elasian Imperial Guard under Elashia's skill protection wouldn't fear these stones that were rely seemingly dangerous...
But under Cecilia's command, the soldiers still deliberately slowed their firing rate.
Although they were also puzzled why the Guard Commander would give such a strange order, under Cecilia's training for over half a year, they had long learned to obey orders!
Thus, the arrow rain from the city gradually lessened...
