Chapter 61 Sea Threat


Chapter 61 Sea Threat
Viola is very concerned about spreading the belief in the Demon King God. If she didn't have the job of managing the territory, it wouldn't be the Knights of the Guards who lead the civilians to pray in the square every morning. Viola would definitely go there every day.

It is naturally better if people you know well want to believe in religion. For example, Viola has preached to Wendy several times, but unfortunately Wendy has never been able to get into it.

But just because she was so familiar with her, Viola knew very well that Aldai had an overzealous research spirit, and she was really afraid that she would offend the Demon King.

"I've sent people to get the scriptures. Take a look at it first. Only by agreeing with it from the bottom of your heart can you become a believer."

"It's not a big problem. I'm currently studying the spell of self-hypnosis. Even if I don't agree with it, I can still change it through magic. By the way, I can also test whether the creatures whose minds are changed by the spell can change the gods they believe in."

"..."

Look, it’s really not reassuring.

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the office. Viola thought it was Zola who had gone to get the scriptures and came back, so she said come in.

"Your Highness."

It turned out that it was not Zora who came in, but the tree elf Zoya and her sister Leah.

Leah was smiling and ready to say hello to Viola, but suddenly she saw an unknown person sitting next to her, and she immediately hid behind her sister like a frightened rabbit.

"Sorry, I didn't know you had guests, sorry to bother you."

"It doesn't matter, this is my cousin Aldai, who just arrived in the territory today. These two are tree elves Zoya and Leah, from the Spring Grove near Leon Fortress."

After a brief introduction to the two parties, Viola found that something seemed wrong in Aldai's eyes. She always felt that she wanted to drag the tree elf into an experiment. She quickly asked again:
"Zoya Why are you here today?”

"We heard that there is a shortage of medicines in the city, so we brought some moss to help."

This is a special kind of moss that needs to be dried and preserved. Grinding it into powder and applying it on wounds can be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Brewing it with hot water can relieve sore throat and fever. It is a medicine unique to the tree elves and cannot be found elsewhere. arrive.

"Thank you very much. It's very helpful."

"You're welcome. The Demon King and God Lord helped us a lot and gave us high-yielding crops. We should be grateful."

When the two were being polite, Aldai suddenly interrupted:

"Did you come to the fortress through the mushroom circle?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Sure enough, I felt a special teleportation magic wave as soon as I entered the castle. Since there are tree elves, it is most likely a mushroom circle. Can you let me go to your forest to investigate? I have been to the tree elves in Cloak Forest. Unfortunately, I There was no way to activate the mushroom circle that could only be used by Druid spells, so he was chased by the tree elves of Cloak Forest for nearly ten kilometers."

Aldai's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes lit up, as she would only do when she encountered something she was very interested in.

The so-called mushroom circle looks like a very standard circle grown from a mushroom. The druid can use it to teleport between two mushroom circles, which is equivalent to a kind of portal.

Spring Grove is not far from the fortress, but mushroom circles are generally only used to transport supplies or in emergencies. Most of the time, druids prefer to transform into animals and walk to Leon Fortress on foot.

Zoya was a little embarrassed after hearing Aldai's words. She glanced at Viola, who was covering her face and holding her forehead, and said:

"The tree elves in Cloak Forest shouldn't have any ill intentions, otherwise it wouldn't be a ten-kilometer pursuit."

At this time, Viola could not speak anymore. She said in a suggestive tone:

"Aldai is the youngest high-level mage in our kingdom. I can vouch for her character, but I can't predict what she will do after she runs into the forest. If she is allowed to go, I hope she can be more careful. "

"...I understand. I will discuss this matter with the elders."

Viola knew very well that Aldai was not a bad person, but because of her damn research spirit, she knew what she would do to offend the tree elf, so she had to take precautions in advance.

Having said that, Zoya wanted to say goodbye and leave. After all, tree elves don't like outsiders very much. Viola and the knights of the guard occasionally come to the forest. It's okay if they become familiar with each other, but Aldai is a complete stranger. That kind of tree elf doesn't want to stay any longer.

But before she could speak, the door was knocked again.

Viola thought that Zora, who had gone to get the scriptures, was back this time, but it turned out not to be the case. "Good day, Your Highness."

Miss Wendy walked into the office with her housekeeper Reina, and was a little surprised to see that the office was not filled with working Guards knights as usual. Then she caught a glimpse of Aldai sitting next to Viola.

"Are you...Wendy?"

"I haven't seen you for several years, Miss Aldai. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"Actually, I didn't recognize your face, but your hairstyle is so distinctive that it's hard to forget."

“…..”

Yes, Aldair speaks so honestly.

"I have not forgotten you, Miss Aldai, for a moment."

Wendy sat on the other side of the sofa and said calmly:

“I used freeze rays to freeze the black tea I used in my etiquette class into ice cubes, used sparks to burn off the hair of my favorite puppy, used acid splash to leave a big hole in my birthday gift, and secretly prepared a magic potion. I couldn’t find the test product, so I was given a drink, and I still had diarrhea for a week.”

I always feel that the more I speak, the more resentful my voice becomes...

But Aldee also said to Viola next to her:

"Was Wendy so vindictive before? I have almost forgotten all these things."

"Remember! How can you forget about things that cause trouble to others!"

Wendy took a deep breath, as if telling herself, 'I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all'.

She slowed down and said:
"We'll talk about the past later. Your Highness, I have bad news."

Wendy took out a letter from the pocket of her skirt and placed it on the coffee table:

"There was a fast ship from Sailing City this morning, and the people on it brought a secret message from my father. The navy of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom launched a feint attack on Sailing City, and successfully covered a group of transport fleets to bypass Sailing City. The city navy is coming towards Leon’s territory.”

The Tandelon Demon Kingdom is one of the four-nation coalition that attacks the Avarus Demon Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Viola immediately put away her previous relaxation and asked in a deep voice:

"What's the exact number?"

"It is estimated that there are about fifty ships, most of which are troop carriers."

This is obviously to capture Viola, otherwise Leon’s territory, a remote and barren place, would be given away for free and no one would bother to take it. Not to mention that the navy launched a feint attack for this purpose.

"I expected the enemy would come from the sea, but... it was too early."

The only road in and out of Leon's territory, the Canyon Road, was blown up by Viola. The army will definitely not be able to get in until it is cleared. After all, the army is not just about people, but also a large number of important supplies and baggage.

So the only way now is to take the sea route and take a boat from the sea to go around the Spine of the World Mountains.

But doing so is actually very troublesome.

The port in Leon territory can currently only moor fishing boats, and large warships may run the risk of being stranded if they approach. In addition, Viola judged from her own experience of breaking through the encirclement that the four-nation coalition forces were not of the same mind, otherwise Viola would not have been able to escape so easily.

Catching her in Leon's territory is obviously a dirty job that no one wants to do. For the four-nation coalition, if Viola is willing to stay in Leon's territory, it doesn't matter. As long as she doesn't come out to lead the resistance, after the effective forces of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus are dealt with, a princess with only two thousand troops on hand wants to You can pinch it flat or round any way you want.

Viola also knew their judgment very well, so she thought that even if the navy came, it would not be now.

But the reality went in a different direction than expected.
