Chapter 1320 Small moves
At the same time, the realm of demons.
Viola's army was trapped in the heavy snow. The snowflakes had been floating in the sky for three days, but they never stopped.
Since winter operations were considered from the beginning, all the supplies for the winter were prepared, but being stuck in place for three whole days without any movement made Viola very anxious.
According to the spies' reports, the Lakshurya and Oswea Demon Kingdom armies were not blocked by the heavy snow. They were located further south, with a warmer climate, and were currently heading towards the capital of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom.
If they cannot complete the strategic plan before they capture the capital and surrender the Demon Kingdom of Tandron, Viola and her army will become a bandit army operating in the enemy's territory with no legitimate name.
After all, although the strategic purposes are different, nominally Viola claims that she is attacking the Tandelon Demon Kingdom in order to cooperate with the Oswea Demon Kingdom army. If she loses this righteousness, her name will naturally be unfair, even if she claims again This is for revenge as well.
This year's winter has lasted longer than in previous years. Logically speaking, the Tandelon Demon Kingdom is already very close to the south, so even if it snows, it shouldn't be so heavy.
But even if God is not good, if Li Chengqi hadn't said it had nothing to do with me when praying every day, Viola would have suspected that the devil was reminding her to withdraw her troops and return home.
Looking at the flying snowflakes outside, Viola sighed and turned back to the sand table.
Viola's strategy is to scrape off a layer of the best land closest to Avarus from Tandron Demon Kingdom with a right hook, and then hit the Subia Demon Kingdom in the face with this right hook .
If the entire plan is completed, the territory of Avarus will be expanded by 1.5 times, and the newly added land will be high-quality fertile land suitable for farming. This will greatly enhance the power of Avarus and declare to the world that we Avarus Ruth was not someone to be trifled with and responded to the previous aggression.
But now Viola is trapped. There are still at least five cities that need to be conquered from the border of Subia Demon Kingdom. If the temperature does not get warmer, the original plan is to reach Subia Demon Kingdom in three or four months. Having to be delayed, the war is likely to last one to two years.
This was not good news for the newly resurgent Avarus, as a prolonged war would destroy the fragile economy that had just been rebuilt.
She looked at the sand table, trying to think of a way to get around this damn snowfall, or thinking about whether there was any quick route that would allow her to make up for the lost time after the heavy snow stopped.
At this time, footsteps came from the door of the tent.
The guard knight guarding the door drew his weapon and asked, but quickly put the weapon back.
Viola saw a hooded man holding a staff walking into the tent, and the staff looked very familiar.
"Cousin Aldai, why are you here..."
Viola held her forehead against a headache, while Aldai took off her hood, shook the snowflakes off it and said, "I have something important to tell you."
"If you later say that it's just because staying in the royal city is boring, then go back quickly."
Aldai was stunned for a moment, blinked and nodded: "Well, this is also one of the reasons."
Is it really boring to sit around and write together?
It was actually not difficult for Aldai to catch up with Viola. She first used teleportation to reach the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon, and then used flying and summoning mounts to chase her all the way. It took less than two days to find her.
"I came because my friends in Academic City found traces of the activities of the Seven Apostles."
Viola became serious once she heard about the seven apostles.
"are you sure?"
"Ivan won't joke about big things. I believe her, and you can naturally believe me."
Viola paced twice in front of the sand table and asked:
"What's the news?"
"There is no trace of the Seven Apostles yet, but I am sure they are coming for you."
This is not surprising, the reason why the Demon King God returned is because of Viola.
"But your faith has spread again. Even if they kill me, they can't stop your will."
"Yes, this is something I didn't understand. I guess that either they are targeting you for revenge, or..."
"Either what?"
"Either, their targeting of you is just incidental. Their next move is likely to cause huge changes in the current situation, big enough to eliminate your influence."
"Is this possible?" Aldai shook his head and said:
"I don't know, but I know that a cornered beast will not just wait to die."
That's right, the Seven Apostles organization is currently driven to a dead end by the belief of the Demon King's Cult.
They used to control the rise and fall of dynasties in all demon kingdoms on the entire continent from behind, and this has been the case for thousands of years since the disappearance of the demon king god.
And the emperor behind this suddenly discovered that the demon king they feared was back, and the various demon kingdoms that they could control before now did not obey their orders at all.
This was tantamount to directly taking away the foundation of the Seven Apostles, and they were forced into a desperate situation.
After all, an eternal king is back, so no one will listen to the shadow government's farts.
"So you come to be my bodyguard?"
"Almost, and I also want to see up close what the Seven Apostles are planning to do."
To put it bluntly, it was because of Aldai’s damn curiosity...
"I can imagine how crazy the palace ministers will be when they find out that you have suddenly disappeared. Zola will ride over and kill you!"
"No way, I left a note."
"Do you really think a note is enough..."
Viola sighed, and then thought about it. Anyway, this cousin couldn't go her own way for a day or two. She was able to stay in the royal city for several months without moving, mainly because Li Chengqi repeatedly ordered her not to go find the Demon King's Ring, otherwise she would have been killed. Just left.
"It turns out that I made the right decision to come here."
"What's the meaning?"
"This blizzard."
Aldai pointed to the snowflakes still flying outside the tent:
"Didn't your magician notice? This blizzard was obviously caused by man."
"What did you say?!"
Viola's voice was obviously an octave higher. Aldai picked out her itchy ears and said: "According to the weather data I collected, the northern part of the Tandelon Demonic Kingdom where we are located has never had a continuous rain. It has been snowing heavily for three days. Even if it is an extreme abnormal weather situation, this is too abnormal, so when I flew over, I used my arcane vision to take a look, and there were obvious traces of spell interference above the clouds. "
Viola's army of magicians is not large in number, and they are very good...
Not as good as Aldai anyway.
"I guess it's Alais's handiwork. Some of the details are very much his style."
"Who is that?"
"Lich, you have met before."
When the key word lich was mentioned, Viola remembered that during the War of Restoration, she was attacked by a lich on the way to the open city. (See Chapter 312 for details)
Liches are very rare, so this impression is naturally very deep.
"Ales is working for the Tandron Demon Kingdom. Although I don't think he will have much loyalty, it will be very troublesome if he takes action."
At this time, the voice of the messenger came from outside the door.
"Report! There is an urgent military situation!"
The knight of the guard handed the sealed mailbox brought by the messenger to Viola, who opened it and took a few glances.
"The Demon Kingdom of Subia actually started taking action?"
This time, I'm afraid it's really a bit of trouble.
