How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 183 : Buffer Zone

In the northern bunker, after confirming no one was around, Elashia took out the communication jade from her bosom.

She needed to discuss this matter thoroughly with her aunt.

This matter was no small thing and required good cooperation from her aunt's side.

After these refugees completed their evacuation, Elasia would have to provide them with conditions to survive.

This would require the Elasian governnt to step forward.

Since the governnt was needed, she had to first convince her aunt, who was in charge of politics, to accept these refugees.

If the governnt didn't care, these refugees would just starve to death after coming to Elasia.

In the ga, the rational Candice opposed accepting these refugees.

So she now had to first find a way to convince Candice...

Elashia had thought all day about ways to convince Candice, but actually still didn't have much confidence...

After all, rationally speaking, accepting these refugees had absolutely no benefits for Elasia.

And they'd have to take considerable risks.

So Elashia really didn't have confidence in convincing Candice.

But she also knew—this matter couldn't be delayed, as the desert city-states were about to collapse.

If the desert city-states were destroyed by the beast tide before she took action, the task would be considered failed.

If the task failed, the [Doomsday Judgnt] she wanted would be gone!

Thinking of this, Elashia steeled herself and made the call.

As the communication jade lit up several tis, Candice's cold pretty face appeared before Elashia.

"Your Majesty, what do you need from ?"

Elashia took a deep breath.

She was prepared to be scolded by Candice.

She had decided that if Candice really opposed this matter, she would give up.

If it really didn't work, she could do without this reward.

Although doing this would indeed be cruel to Tina and the desert city-states, there really was no other way...

The system's existence couldn't be revealed, or she would face the risk of being eliminated...

Elashia steadied her mind and began:

"It's like this, today..."

Elashia told Candice everything that happened today.

After listening, Candice nodded.

"So? What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"

Elashia took a deep breath and said:

"I want to... send troops to bring them over... let them take refuge in Elasia for a while..."

After speaking, Elashia lowered her head.

She knew her words would surely et with her aunt's opposition.

Next, she didn't know what her aunt would say...

"That's quite good. The northern part of Elasia just developed new lands under the lords' organization, so we can arrange for them to live there."

"Eh?"

Elashia's head shot up!

Why didn't her aunt oppose it?

In every storyline in the plot, her aunt should have opposed accepting these refugees!

Why was her aunt so different in reality compared to the ga?

"Uh... Aunt, why don't you oppose it..."

Although Elashia was happy, she really couldn't understand why her aunt would agree so straightforwardly.

Seeing the puzzled Elashia, Candice smiled.

She had long known the desert city-states would co to Elasia for help.

She clearly understood that both Elasia and the desert city-states would face attacks from magical beasts.

The desert city-states, which had no high-end combat power and pitifully few troops, would inevitably seek help from the Iron Empire in the west and the Elasian Empire in the east.

So she had long guessed—the desert city-states would definitely first seek help from the relatively powerful Iron Empire, but ultimately couldn't succeed.

Given Imperial Sister's personality, everything except Elashia was probably just a string of data to her...

Since helping the desert city-states had no benefits for the Iron Empire, Imperial Sister naturally wouldn't intervene.

So the desert city-states would inevitably co to Elasia for help.

As for how to respond, she had long thought it through...

"Your Majesty, are you sowhat surprised?"

Candice smiled mysteriously:

"Could these people really have no use for Elasia?"

Candice's question left Elashia puzzled.

What use could these refugees without warriors or mages have for Elasia?

"What use could these people... have for Elasia?"

Well, now the roles were reversed.

Candice was now the one persuading her to accept these refugees.

Candice nodded and asked Elashia with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty, do you think Elasia can survive this beast tide?"

Elashia thought about it and answered:

"Uh... probably not most likely, but we can't rule out Mother arriving before the defense line completely collapses..."

Candice nodded.

"Correct."

"That ans—Elasia has two possible outcos in this beast tide event."

"Destruction, or survival."

Saying this, Candice brought over a map.

She pointed to the lands in northern Elasia.

"Your Majesty, look. Through the previous efforts of the lords and northern people, northern Elasia has developed a considerable amount of new land, and this area can completely accommodate these people."

"Moreover, the grain in our northern granaries is completely sufficient."

"So if we can bring them over, we won't need to worry too much about their housing and food problems."

After hearing Candice's words, Elashia asked puzzledly:

"But... what value do these people have for us?"

Candice smiled and said:

"These people's value is not small."

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of those frenzied magical beasts?"

Elashia answered without hesitation:

"To kill people, of course."

These magical beasts killed people on sight, and would continue killing even after eating their fill.

Candice nodded and smiled at Elashia:

"So, Your Majesty, still haven't figured out what use these people have?"

"..."

Elashia didn't speak.

She was sowhat afraid.

Candice... why was she now smiling so much like Alexandra?

Were all mbers of the Iron family scheming?

"Aunt... I... don't understand..."

Candice smiled again.

"Your Majesty, this battle simply has two results."

"Failure, or victory."

"If we win, how could these citizens possibly return to that sand-swept desert after experiencing Elasia's stable daily life?"

"This way, we can absorb at least several hundred thousand people."

After saying this, a cold gleam flashed in Candice's eyes as she continued:

"And if we fail, these refugees placed in northernmost Elasia can delay the magical beasts' actions by about three days, buying ti for our evacuation."

"Flying mages and mage apprentices can use this ti to fly over the mountains and bring large numbers of valuable units to the Iron Empire, allowing us to preserve more strength..."

After hearing Candice's words, Elashia still didn't speak.

She was sowhat afraid.

The aunt before her... why did she suddenly beco so much like Mother?

Seeing Elashia's fearful little face, Candice finally realized—she seed to have frightened her niece.

Candice quickly changed her expression back to normal.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I seem to have frightened you."

"It's fine... it's fine, Aunt."

Elashia could understand Candice's thinking—after all, this was indeed an extraordinary ti.

And compared to letting these refugees fend for themselves, doing this was already quite humane.
