"Your Majesty! Look! Isn't this very effective!"
Seeing his scheme succeed, the strategist called out excitedly.
"Indeed, not bad."
Finally seeing the arrow rain from the city walls become less dense, the [Goblin Emperor] also showed a bloodthirsty smile.
It seemed Elasia would become a goblin paradise before long!
It continued shouting loudly at the [Goblin Giant] beneath it:
"Gua! (Command a full army attack! [Goblin Giants] begin throwing [Goblin Heroes] into the city! This attack will definitely let us take Elasia!)"
"Guaji! (Tell all goblins! There are endless women to play with in the city, endless food to eat! As long as we can capture this city, we'll never have to fight again!)"
As its commands were roared by the [Goblin Giant] to the entire army, the whole goblin army charged toward the city walls at even greater speed!
Thus, half the [Goblin Giants] stopped throwing stones at the city walls.
They instead directly grabbed [Goblin Heroes] that had been waiting on the ground and threw them into the city walls!
Those goblin elite units also almost without exception mixed in among ordinary goblins to charge toward the city walls!
If momentum could capture the Imperial Capital, the capital would probably have fallen by now.
Unfortunately, it couldn't.
Seeing those goblin elite units hiding in shield cars on the city walls, Elashia immediately showed a smile of successful conspiracy!
This charge included almost all the goblin elite units!
As long as these elite units could be killed, the goblin attack would be completely over!
She immediately used magic to transmit to Erin who had been waiting below the city walls for a long time.
"How is it? Are the students ready?"
Erin's reply came almost instantly!
"Your Majesty, the students have been ready long ago! They can join the battle at any time!"
After hearing Erin's transmission, the smile on Elashia's face grew even brighter...
Candice, also hovering in the air, saw the smile on Elashia's face and immediately recalled some unpleasant memories.
She could tell at a glance that Elashia had prepared some very despicable conspiracy!
The reason was simple.
That smile... she was too familiar with it...
Imperial Sister would also show such a smile when her schemes succeeded.
Could it be... Elashia had prepared some backup plan...
Although Candice rationally of course hoped Elasia could defend the Imperial Capital, emotionally she now hoped Elashia actually hadn't prepared any backup plan.
She now felt that Elashia seemed increasingly like Imperial Sister!
Her gentle and lovely niece becoming a bad woman like Alexandra—she didn't want that kind of thing!
...
"District Eleven security team please note! Three [Goblin Heroes] are about to land in your area! Please prepare, reinforcements are arriving shortly!"
"District Eight security team please note! Two [Goblin Heroes] are about to land at your location! Prepare yourselves!"
"..."
In the city, under Chris's command, guards extremely familiar with the city structure moved swiftly and orderly.
If Elashia could see this scene, she would definitely be equally amazed at Chris's effective command!
To efficiently utilize short-range magic communicators and the entire city's guard forces, Chris had divided the entire Imperial Capital into twenty districts, each establishing its own guard system, allowing each area to respond most quickly during emergencies!
Under Chris's reforms, those [Goblin Heroes] thrown into the city were in for serious trouble.
One [Goblin Hero's] combat power could match Elasia's lower-tier knights, making them quite powerful units among goblins.
However, [Goblin Heroes] thrown alone into the city couldn't be heroes anymore...
"Enemy in residential area! Advanced riot control squad move immediately!"
Seeing several [Goblin Heroes] fall into residential areas about to attack terrified residents, District Eleven's guard captain immediately commanded an advanced riot control squad of ten [Judgment Knights] to charge into the residential area!
Under the specialized team attacks of [Judgment Knights] who excelled at small-scale combat, these [Goblin Heroes] in residential areas were quickly wiped out completely!
Watching the previously arrogant [Goblin Heroes] quickly annihilated by the charging guards, the woman holding her child in the residence tremblingly said to the guards:
"Thank... thank you... all of you..."
Who the hell knew what she had just experienced!
She had been staying home with her child hiding properly, when several extremely strong-looking goblins crashed through the roof and broke in!
At that moment, she fell into the abyss of despair!
However, before those goblins could even reach her, her front door was immediately smashed open by several fully armed guards!
Then those damn goblins were quickly dealt with by the guard brothers.
Yet before her thanks could even reach the ground, those guards immediately ran away without looking back.
The last young-looking guard in the team said to her while running:
"Miss! Don't mind it, the advanced riot control squads need to stay on alert at guard stations as much as possible to prepare for goblins that might appear at any time!"
Finally, he added: "The state will help you repair your house later! Go hide at someone else's place for now!"
The guards quickly left, and the woman holding her child, looking at her now broken house, inexplicably felt a sense of safety she hadn't felt even when inside the house.
...
The goblins outside the city walls had already charged within a hundred meters of the walls, yet the smile on Elashia's face grew brighter.
Seeing those high-level goblins under shield cars also charge into attack range, Elashia immediately commanded loudly:
"All soldiers stationed on the city walls, crouch down and fire from the shooting crenellations!"
Under Cecilia's training, soldiers who absolutely obeyed superior commands immediately crouched down.
Seeing all soldiers crouch down, Elashia immediately transmitted to Erin:
"Erin! It's time for the Elasian Empire's future mages to take the stage!"
Just as Elashia finished speaking, large groups of students in mage robes immediately rushed out from the central stairway of the city walls, dividing into two teams running toward both sides of the walls!
"This..."
Seeing this scene, the strategist was immediately somewhat puzzled.
What was this for?
Playing mage cosplay?
Elasia couldn't possibly have this many mages.
Back in his day, he had been at least a mid-level knight and had seen mages before.
In his common knowledge, Elasia should only have twenty to thirty mages.
Even if the royal family heavily emphasized mage cultivation, they couldn't possibly have cultivated this many mages.
However, a scene that made his eyes split with rage occurred!
Colorful magic essence surged in the hands of those young people in mage robes...
Then—countless fireballs that, while not looking huge, were obviously full of destructive power charged toward the shield cars advancing on the ground!
When he saw this, he finally understood—he had been tricked!
Looking at the [Goblin Emperor] beside him still immersed in the excitement of soon breaking the city, his vision immediately went dark...
