How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 181 : To Save or Not to Save

Elashia also roughly guessed—the various cities in the desert region were also facing threats from magical beasts.

The various cities in the desert region, which had no mages and few warriors, absolutely couldn't resist such a terrifying beast tide.

They could only seek help from great empires with powerful strength.

But now both Elasia and the Iron Empire faced extrely dangerous external situations, and under no circumstances could they spare resources to help these worthless city-states.

The reason she hadn't actively helped them also considered the considerable danger involved.

Between Elasia and the desert region lay over three hundred kiloters, and the climax of the beast tide attacks would occur in about a month.

To save these people, they could only be transferred to Elasia.

After all, Elasia was already overwheld with its own problems and couldn't possibly divide forces to protect them in the desert region.

But transferring those people from the desert city-states would require at least ten days, and during these ten days, magical beast attacks would absolutely not stop.

To get from the desert region to Elasia, one had to cross the extrely dangerous northern forest.

At the current frequency of almost daily magical beast attacks, if these citizens ca on their own... probably few could arrive alive.

So, if they really wanted to save these people, Elasia would have to send a considerably large army for escort.

In the current situation where magical beast attacks could escalate at any ti, doing this undoubtedly carried considerable danger.

Moreover... accepting these refugees truly had no benefits for Elasia.

From a practical perspective, Elasia really had no reason to accept these refugees.

So in the ga, most players chose to let these people fend for themselves.

However, Elashia knew—if this matter wasn't handled well, it might lead to so hidden problems.

Because apart from the absolutely rational Candice, who thought about things only from the perspective of saving humanity's grand plan and opposed accepting these refugees, basically all Elasian characters actually wanted to save these refugees.

Among these people was Guardian Knight Cecilia, who wanted to benefit the world.

There was the chivalrous Dorothy, who was enthusiastic about helping the weak.

There was Forbidden Curse Mage Erin, who wanted magic to bless everyone in this world.

There was even Chris, who had once been deeply hurt by the citizens she protected.

...

Elashia knew this matter was no small thing.

So actually she had been struggling with this matter early on.

Risk it to save them? Or let them fend for themselves?

Putting on a serious expression, Elashia looked at Chris and asked:

"Do you want Elasia to accept these refugees?"

"I..."

Having her thoughts instantly exposed by Elashia, Chris's face imdiately turned red.

Looking at Elashia's serious face, Chris felt the sha flooding through her heart like a torrent.

Her Majesty Elashia had not only helped her out of her previous predicant but also considered her life in Elasia in every way.

As her superior, she not only mandated that she must get enough rest every day but even hoped she could have her own personal life.

Facing herself who had no personal life at all, she had even gone to great lengths to help her find "friends" she had never dared imagine before.

But now... not only had she not repaid her anything, she even wanted to ask her to give more...

She was really not a good person...

Seeing her new friend show such an embarrassed expression, Dorothy on the side wanted to say sothing but ultimately remained silent.

She also wanted to help these poor refugees.

She knew that if she asked Elashia to help these people, Elashia would definitely agree.

But she couldn't speak.

Now she was no longer that ranger who acted completely according to her own preferences.

Knowing that humanity was about to face unprecedented disaster, she clearly understood—Elashia was no longer the helpless little girl from before.

As Empress of the Elasian Empire, her actions had to be responsible for all Elasians.

If she sacrificed the safety of Elasians to help those people, that would absolutely not be sothing Elashia was willing to do.

If Elashia chose to do this at her request, then her behavior would also be extrely irresponsible toward the Elasians.

What to do shouldn't be decided by her, a warrior.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly beco heavy, Cecilia also fell silent.

She of course hoped to save these people, but having been a soldier for so many years, she clearly knew this wasn't sothing she should interject about.

"Uh... no... won't it work?"

Tina looked at Elashia's serious expression, then at Chris who now almost wanted to bury her head directly in the ground.

Looking again at the heavy expressions of several Elasian higher-ups around, she knew the Elasians basically couldn't spare resources to help them.

Tina was truly on the verge of tears now.

She suddenly felt so stupid.

Even the Iron Empire couldn't spare resources to save them—how could the Elasians possibly be willing to save them?

If Elashia were an inhumane tyrant, she naturally couldn't possibly be willing to help them.

But if Elashia were a wise ruler, she even less likely would help them!

As an empress, her primary responsibility was of course to her subjects, not to a group of refugees she had never t who were also worthless!

She had actually risked such danger to break through the northern forest for such an almost impossible thing...

Finally being brave once, yet losing so thoroughly...

Elashia actually hadn't decided what to do either.

If she saved these people, the already nearly out-of-control future would beco even more uncontrollable.

But if she didn't save these people, everyone would probably feel very uncomfortable...

Having spent half a year with these characters, Elashia knew—they would definitely understand her.

But if she really let these people fend for themselves, she would also feel uncomfortable.

So Elashia had been struggling with this matter all along.

Both saving and not saving seed problematic.

"Her Majesty Elashia..."

Looking at Elashia's extrely grave expression, Tina let out a bitter laugh.

She could understand Elashia.

Rather, she herself, who had run here to seek aid without thinking about anything, was the incomprehensible one.

Why should others help them for no reason?

Bowing to Elashia, Tina said:

"Her Majesty Elashia, please don't struggle anymore. I can understand you."

"Suddenly coming here without reason to make such an unreasonable request—the one who should feel sorry is ."

Tina had decided she must gather courage to return.

She couldn't just stay in Elasia and survive.

She was at least the consul elected by the citizens, and she needed to be responsible to the citizens until the very last mont.
