How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 172 : What is Approaching

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Cecilia's urgent voice awakened Elashia from her deep sleep.

"Oh~ It's not even dawn yet... what are you doing..."

Elashia struggled to open her eyes.

After introducing Dorothy to Chris, Elashia had enjoyed a period of relaxation that was neither long nor short.

Well, actually just three days.

But these three days were quite precious ti for Elashia.

After all, the previous matters had indeed been sowhat frighteningly nurous.

"Your Majesty, please wake up quickly!"

However, Cecilia's voice sounded quite urgent.

Elashia didn't doubt at all—if not for the constraints of knightly etiquette, Cecilia might have gotten on the bed to shake her.

Elashia rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, and asked:

"Minister Cecilia? What's so urgent?"

In the plot, Elasia should currently be in a stable period with nothing happening...

Seeing Elashia sit up, Cecilia quickly picked up the report in her hand and said to her:

"Your Majesty! A small-scale magical beast attack has occurred in the northern frontier!"

"What!"

Cecilia's words instantly made Elashia, who had just been woken up and was still in a drowsy state, completely alert!

How could this be... so early?

In the ga, the [Beast Tide] event's timing was indeed random.

But it basically always occurred in winter or after winter.

But now it was less than two months into autumn!

The now fully alert Elashia imdiately grabbed Cecilia's hand.

"Quick, let see the briefing!"

After taking the briefing from Cecilia's hand, Elashia's hands began to tremble.

The briefing said that after less than half a year of magical beast disappearance, magical beast attacks had occurred again!

Although the scale wasn't large, this represented sothing that could destroy Elasia... was about to happen...

The [Beast Tide] was coming...

Although she couldn't have expected this [Beast Tide] to co so quickly, Elashia knew now wasn't the ti to be paralyzed by shock.

Elashia imdiately asked:

"Has this matter been reported?"

Cecilia thought for a mont and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty, everyone in the Elasian Empire's core circle now knows about this."

"Phew... that's good."

After hearing Cecilia's words, Elashia let out a long breath.

Cecilia's approach was correct.

After all, Elashia herself didn't manage anything, so even if she knew about this, it wouldn't serve any practical purpose.

"Does Candice know about this?"

Elashia knew that the most important thing now was to have Candice quickly respond and deploy.

After all, the [Beast Tide] event had occurred a full month earlier than their expectations!

Cecilia nodded.

"Yes, the first person I notified after receiving the intelligence was Minister Candice."

Elashia also nodded.

That was good then.

Actually... objectively speaking, there wasn't much she could do.

After all, this matter was indeed extrely important, so Elashia had already given all the intelligence she should exchange to Candice early on.

Elashia had also thought out the response strategy early.

So Elashia just nodded.

"That's good, that's good..."

Cecilia also knew that even if she woke Elashia up, there wasn't much she could do.

But out of her duty as a knight, Cecilia felt it was necessary to wake Elashia.

After all, this was truly a major event that could destroy Elasia.

After learning that Elashia already knew about this matter, Cecilia left.

She had to start planning military affairs.

Next, Elasia would need to mobilize the entire nation's ard forces, otherwise what awaited Elasia would definitely be destruction.

After Cecilia left, only Elashia sat on the bed, now completely unable to sleep.

Elashia looked at the clock hanging on the wall—it was 3 AM.

Elashia looked at the bed again.

Now, there was nothing she could do.

After all, she had already completed everything she could do beforehand.

But having just learned such explosive news, how could she continue sleeping?

Especially knowing the fact that the earlier magical beasts acted up, the stronger they were, her heart beca even more panicked!

The [Beast Tide] event originated from the goddess's manipulation.

The goddess would first use her influence on the world to gather all these magical beasts to the northernmost part of the Northern Forest.

The magical beasts that reached the northernmost area would begin going mad.

But at this ti, the magical beasts wouldn't truly begin marching toward Elasia.

They would wait for an opportunity, an opportunity when their strength had accumulated sufficiently.

When the numbers were sufficient, these magical beasts would march south to attack Elasia.

But you must know—it wasn't that no more magical beasts would gather at the assembly point after the [Beast Tide] began attacking.

Soon, after the first wave of attacks ended, the next wave of even more powerful magical beasts would begin attacking.

So the earlier the magical beasts acted up, the stronger the [Beast Tide] forces were.

Thinking of this, Elashia's heart sank.

Even having played this ga countless tis, she had never seen a [Beast Tide] occur at this ti...

So this [Beast Tide]... would be powerful to a degree that even Elashia couldn't predict...

It was hard to imagine how terrifying this [Beast Tide] would be...

"Ha... ha..."

Elashia began breathing sowhat uncontrollably.

Whether from nervousness or fear.

The first to be affected were the relatively weak magical beasts, while the relatively powerful magical beasts would appear as the finale.

So this current [Beast Tide] wouldn't pose too serious a danger to Elasia yet.

But afterward... Elashia almost didn't dare imagine.

Thinking of the miserable deaths "Elashia" suffered in the [Beast Tide] event in the ga, then thinking of the beast-human CGs involving "Elashia" in the plot...

Finally thinking of the ending where she would be eliminated if Elasia lost ten percent of its population...

Elashia was truly terrified...

Why... would this [Beast Tide] occur so quickly...

Clearly... she had already done her utmost... but would encounter such unfortunate circumstances...

"Ha... ha..."

Elashia could feel her heart pounding wildly.

She knew—hoping for rescue from the Iron Empire was basically impossible.

No matter what, the Iron Empire could only repel the demons at the earliest in next spring.

But... the climax of the [Beast Tide] attack would be in about a month.

That ant—for a full winter after Elasia beca a hunting ground for magical beasts, rescue from the Iron Empire couldn't possibly arrive!

Elasia could only rely on itself!

But... relying on itself... was completely unreliable...

The magical beasts' thick hide, though clumsy, was the best defense against the Elasian Empire's crossbow chanisms...

And the Elasian Imperial Guard, having lost its specialty of long-range strikes... was like a toothless tiger... completely powerless to fight back against relatively powerful magical beasts...

She seed to have... walked into a dead end...

Clearly she had done everything she could... why would she encounter such things...

Just as Elashia's emotions were about to collapse, a knocking sound rang out.

"Your Majesty, this is Candice."

Candice knew—Elashia must be feeling terrible right now.

So after completing the deploynt, she ca to the chambers to find her.

She knew—Elashia needed her now.
