How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 188 : Battle Techniques

"Whew~ I have to say, it really feels very safe here!"

A refugee from the desert region looked at the armored soldiers in front of him and sighed to another refugee from a different city beside him.

"Indeed, this great empire's army really looks different from our city-state guards. Just looking at them gives a sense of security."

That refugee agreed, looking toward the distance.

However, this glance made his heart suddenly stop!

That was... magical beasts!

"Wait, look! What is that!"

Large groups of magical beasts were attacking toward here!

The refugee crowd imdiately erupted in sharp screams.

But Aelia, who was responsible for this retreat, showed a satisfied smile on her face hidden beneath the armor.

This was precisely one of the reasons she had suggested arranging the troops to stay in the desert region for three days.

She wasn't afraid of the beast tide coming—she was afraid it wouldn't co!

She knew—these refugees who had received no training and had no understanding of magical beasts were extrely susceptible to being dominated by fear.

Even with Her Majesty Elashia's [Courage Anthem] enhancent later, there would still be many people who thought Elasia's army couldn't handle the magical beasts and might rationally flee for their lives.

That would still cause chaos.

So she wanted to demonstrate Elasia's army strength once in front of all the refugees in this desert region, which was favorable for ranged weapons deploynt and allowed refugees to observe the battle!

Anyway, it was still the early stage of the beast tide attacks, and all current magical beasts would be hard by ranged weapons!

She took out the magical voice amplifier and shouted loudly:

"All militia, form battle lines! Imperial Guards prepare to shoot behind the militia! Knight Order stand by!"

"Entire army divide into two forces! Leave fifty ters distance in the middle!"

The soldiers, who could be commanded like extensions of one's own body under Cecilia's training, imdiately ford enemy-facing formations!

Seeing the orderly movents of thousands of soldiers, many refugees were no longer so afraid.

"Look! This is a great empire's army! Ten thousand people move like just a few people!"

"We... shouldn't be in danger, right..."

"It looks like... we should be able to win?"

When the magical beasts appeared, they were about three kiloters away from the army in front of the refugees, while hand crossbows could only reach three hundred ters.

So after changing formations, the soldiers imdiately fell silent, as if the pause button had been pressed.

But the magical beasts were still charging toward the refugees and army...

The refugees held their breath watching this scene.

Especially after the number of magical beasts beca clear, they beca even more afraid.

This beast tide had roughly a thousand magical beasts...

The last beast tide with only a few hundred magical beasts had already completely annihilated the city-state coalition army...

This ti the number of magical beasts... was more than double the previous ti...

Could they win...

Seeing the refugees beginning to show so chaos, Aelia's expression beca even more satisfied.

This was exactly what she wanted.

Let the refugees realize—there was absolutely no need to panic when facing this level of magical beast attack!

She clearly understood—now was the most advantageous ti for Elasia's army to face magical beasts.

Because in the desert region, ranged weapons could be deployed, but later in the forest it wouldn't be easy to deploy them.

So if they encountered beast tides in the forest later, casualties would indeed be inevitable.

To prevent the refugees' psychology from wavering at that ti, she arranged this "performance" here.

Seeing the magical beasts had charged into the hand crossbow shooting range, she imdiately ordered:

"All Imperial Guard soldiers, begin volley fire!"

Imdiately, arrows like a rainstorm fell toward the magical beasts!

Watching the arrow rain fall toward the magical beasts, Aelia clearly knew—several rounds of arrow rain absolutely couldn't eliminate all these magical beasts.

After all, magical beasts were different from the previous goblins.

Once the small-bodied, physically fragile goblins were hit by arrows, even crossbow bolts basically couldn't keep them alive.

But the huge-bodied magical beasts with extrely strong vitality were different.

They often could take several arrows and be fine.

So before departure, she had thought of a sowhat strange thod.

Anyway, the current crossbows were completely sufficient, and the pressure on northern Elasia was indeed not great now.

So she had each Imperial Guard soldier carry three hand crossbows!

This way, the firepower during the volley phase could be greatly enhanced!

With the shooting command issued, over ten thousand arrows were directly shot toward the magical beast horde!

Hundreds of magical beasts fell in the arrow rain.

The remaining magical beasts were also all wounded.

"Damn! This great empire's army is really different!"

"My God... if we had these weapons, we probably would have ruled the entire desert region long ago..."

"My God... these ranged weapons are simply like... like rain..."

Aelia nodded.

This was exactly the desired effect.

Actually, the effect of one soldier carrying three crossbows wasn't mainly to enhance firepower.

But to enhance visual impact.

No matter who it was, even for the Imperial Guard soldiers who understood this better than anyone, seeing such dense arrow rain would be shocking.

Let alone these desert citizens who didn't even understand what a "crossbow" was?

This visual impact was simply like an explosion for them!

Soon, the magical beasts charged within two hundred ters.

Aelia imdiately ordered:

"All Imperial Guard soldiers! Begin free shooting!"

With Aelia's command, the Imperial Guard soldiers imdiately changed their crossbows to flat shooting position.

With the arrival of the next round of arrows, hundreds more magical beasts fell!

Seeing only about a hundred magical beasts remained, and they were still about a hundred ters from the military formation, Aelia suddenly shouted:

"All Imperial Guard soldiers stop shooting!"

Her command imdiately raised questions among the refugees watching from behind.

Why stop shooting?

"All soldiers! Divide into two teams! Retreat in a 'V' formation!"

Seeing the magical beasts had almost lost their threat, Aelia knew—this "performance" should bring out the main event!

"Knight Order! All use battle techniques to engage the enemy!"

The knights who received orders imdiately charged toward the magical beast horde at speeds that left the refugees dumbfounded!

An interdiate knight's charging speed on the battlefield was about two hundred kiloters per hour.

This was absolutely unimaginable for these refugees!

Once engaged, these knights would unhesitatingly use the [Qi] within their bodies to unleash visually impactful battle techniques!

"Four Light Consecutive Slash!"

Imdiately four terrifying sword energies chopped four magical beasts in half!

"Eight Consecutive Slash!"

That knight directly used eight swift and terrifying slashes to instantly kill a [Crushing]-level giant ape magical beast in front of him!

"Shield Burst!"

That knight directly charged into the beast tide, then detonated the shield composed of [Qi] around his body!

The terrifying explosion blew all surrounding magical beasts into the sky, while that knight and nearby comrades remained unhard!

"Shield Charge!"

That knight directly charged with his shield and ramd the last isolated [Crushing]-level magical beast to death!

Watching this visually impactful scene, a refugee murmured:

"This... gives too much of a sense of security..."

The refugee beside him jumped up directly!

With such a powerful army escorting them, what was there to worry about!

"This isn't just a sense of security! The sense of security is overflowing!"

"How wonderful it would be if I were an Elasian..."
