How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 208 : Natural Disaster

"Hand crossbow troops, begin volley fire!"

The remaining hand crossbow troops in Elasia now each carried four crossbows.

Originally, Elasia had relatively more crossbows than soldiers, and with quite a few soldiers falling in battle, the remaining hand crossbows were redistributed to arm other crossbow troops.

With Cecilia's command, instantly over thirty thousand crossbow bolts were shot toward the magical beasts!

Although crossbow bolts were ineffective against magical beasts above [Calamity] level, they were still very useful against the ordinary and [Crushing] level magical beasts that ford the main body of the beast tide!

However, everyone understood clearly—there wouldn't be much more ti for such normal shooting.

It would take the magical beasts less than a minute to charge from three hundred ters away to the city wall...

"Roar!"

Although the magical beasts' charging formation was no longer as dense as before, their numbers were still extrely large!

Especially the magical beasts above [Crushing] level—even while enduring the mages' spells and soldiers' crossbow bolts, their movents were completely unaffected!

The soldiers standing on the city wall could already clearly hear the magical beasts' roars...

And Cecilia understood very clearly—the ti for close combat was about to arrive again...

"Hand crossbow troops retreat three hundred ters behind the battlefield!"

"Knights and other lee units prepare for battle!"

......

"Boom!"

Soon, the sound of the city wall cracking reached the soldiers' ears.

Elashia looked over—a [Calamity] level giant elephant had directly smashed at least a ten-ter-wide hole in the city wall!

This... this was too fast...

In just a few minutes, the city wall was instantly breached?

Just how many Calamity-level and above magical beasts were there?

Soon, Elashia got her answer.

Because the city wall was smashed to pieces in several places within just a few seconds!

Then... large groups of magical beasts ca roaring through...

Observing the entire battlefield from atop the city wall, Cecilia understood very clearly—what ca next would be a chaotic lee.

The soldiers couldn't possibly still heed her commands while the battle situation was so brutal.

Moreover, in such a chaotic battlefield, she couldn't possibly command effectively either.

She took her spear from her back and issued her final command loudly to the soldiers behind her.

"Fight to the last man!"

Then she too jumped down from the city wall and personally joined the lee...

She still hadn't figured out what Her Majesty Elashia had said earlier.

But she knew—for a knight, battle was the best way to find one's path!

......

"My goodness, this is too terrifying."

Having slain a huge Calamity-level magical beast with one sword, Dorothy surveyed the battlefield before her and sighed from the heart.

Just the [Calamity] level magical beasts she could see numbered at least in the hundreds.

Moreover... beyond the fire wall, countless magical beasts were still charging toward them...

This was the first ti she had seen a beast tide of such terrifying numbers.

Seeing such a despairing scene, last night's events floated before her eyes again.

On the final night before battle began, Elashia had resolutely told her—if Elasia lost this battle, she only asked that Dorothy lead her Guerrilla Knights and flee first toward the Iron Empire, without worrying about Elashia herself.

As long as they could preserve the final hope of counterattack, the possibility of liberating the Holy Kingdom and even saving all humanity would still exist.

Thinking of this, Dorothy's heart ached as if being stabbed by knives.

Elashia was still the sa as when she was small.

She never considered herself, only others.

Even though she might very well die in the beast tide tomorrow, what she thought about was still her Ileina and saving humanity...

But if Elasia truly was defeated... what should she do?

Should she really do as Elashia told her and directly flee with her subordinates toward the Iron Empire?

Or die here together with Elashia?

If she fled after such a defeat, she would probably be too guilt-ridden to sleep whenever she thought of Elashia...

But if she died here together with Elashia... that would insult Elashia's determination to preserve as much strength as possible for humanity...

It seed whatever she did would be wrong...

So the open-minded Dorothy simply stopped thinking about it.

If whatever she did would be wrong, why think about such things?

Better to do her utmost for that slim possibility!

If they really were defeated in the end, she could think about it then!

Thinking this, the [Qi] in Dorothy's body beca even more active!

"Ah!"

She shouted again and charged toward the battlefield...

......

In this mont of life and death, all of Elasia's soldiers burst forth with all their strength!

The country had only just gotten better for less than a year—how could the beautiful future that would soon arrive under Her Majesty Elashia's leadership be destroyed by these beasts!

"Ahhhhh!"

A young soldier roared as he deeply thrust the spear in his hands into the body of a Crushing-level giant wolf.

The frenzied secretion of adrenaline made him seem to lose his reason, completely ignoring the giant wolf's tearing at his abdon.

The spear pierced deep into the giant wolf's heart.

Soon, the giant wolf crashed to the ground.

And he, with his intestines spilling out, didn't even wail once from the pain, imdiately raising his spear to charge at other magical beasts.

His mother had just written to tell him a few weeks ago that the people in his hotown were all living stable and well-fed lives—how could he possibly let everything Her Majesty Elashia had given him be taken away by magical beasts!

As he charged toward the battlefield, his wounds quickly healed.

He knew—this too was Her Majesty Elashia's miracle.

He looked up at Elashia in the sky, casting healing spells on the soldiers below, and beca even more determined in his heart to fight for Her Majesty Elashia until the final mont...

......

"My God!"

Looking at the chaotic battle situation below, Elashia anxiously continued casting [Group Healing] on the soldiers on the ground.

This battle had escalated to white-hot intensity too quickly!

Moreover... the scale of the battle was truly unprecedentedly massive!

Almost every Elasian soldier was directly participating in this super-large-scale battle.

Unimaginable—if it weren't for Erin's [Blazing Magic Wall] burning most of the magical beasts to death outside the city wall, what would the current battle situation have beco...

Eh?

Just as Elashia was frantically casting her healing spells on the soldiers below, she discovered—the earth beneath her... seed to be shrouded in shadow?

Temporarily stopping her healing of the soldiers, Elashia turned her gaze toward the magical beasts...

......

The terrifying sight nearly suffocated her...

A... at least a thousand ters tall... completely encased in exoskeleton... impossible to tell what kind of magical beast it was... a sky-blotting super-gigantic monster...

Was charging toward Elasia at unimaginable speed!
