Chapter 309: Increase Strength
The Subia Demon Kingdom army was indeed frightened. Viola and the others could often see abandoned carriages and flags on the roadside as they pursued them.
The villages and towns we passed along the way also pledged their allegiance to Viola, saying that we had no choice but to pretend to be snakes with our enemies before. Your Highness, you understand, right?
Viola did express her understanding, and then asked people to kill the mayors, village chiefs, and entire families of these villages and hang the flags at the door to commemorate them. This was true for both men, women, and children.
This operation is extremely cruel. Logically speaking, the local villages and towns really have no choice. They cannot resist the enemy and can only bow their heads and give in.
Avarus is a greedy people. They treat their own people very well and cherish them very much.
Count Leon's intention to assassinate Viola has come to this point. She is still regretting that she personally executed a nobleman. She has always treated the people of Leon's territory with the people first and never gave rude orders to the people. What to do.
But the Avarus are a people who will show no mercy to capitulationists and enemies. The country's constitution clearly states that 'whoever collaborates with the enemy, the whole family will sit together'.
Viola's move was also to deter people in the villages who might be secretly collaborating with the Subia Demon Kingdom's army. She didn't have much military power at hand, so she couldn't keep an eye on these villages and towns all the time, so she would naturally have to take heavy action.
Of course, Viola also knew the importance of both kindness and power. While executing the village chief and the mayor's family, she also promoted their deputies to replace them, sent knights of the guard to preach in the villages and towns, and also issued notices exempting these villages and towns from one year's imprisonment. tax.
The current war cannot be settled in a few months, and a stable rear is extremely important.
After this combination of punches, the surrendered villages and towns were successfully stabilized. Viola could safely lead her army to chase the Subia Demon Kingdom army.
At this time, they came to a large river. The river was thirty to forty meters wide and the water was so deep that one could not cross it with just two legs.
There was originally a bridge on the river bank connecting the other side, but it was blown up by the Subian Demon Army when they retreated.
Even though the Watcher's Fortress on the other side of the river was clearly visible, and even the military flag of the Demon Kingdom of Subia could be seen, Viola and the others were forced to stop on the river bank because of the obstruction of the river.
It is possible to take a detour, but it will take more than a month.
The Demon Kingdom of Subia left some of its combat-capable soldiers to garrison the Watcher's Fortress in order to delay the main force until the main force entered the open city to rest. By then, 90,000 people plus the city's defenders would cooperate with the defenses, even if Wei Even if Euler's soldiers were doubled, they could only look at the wall and sigh.
Although they lost the battle, they were not dizzy yet, and the strategy was completely correct.
Winter comes much earlier in the north than in the south, but the river has not yet frozen. The flow is too high, and you have to wait until after December to cross the river safely.
This gives the other party time to rest and recuperate, which is absolutely not acceptable.
Viola is now chasing after her, hoping to seize the open city in one fell swoop while the Subia Demon Kingdom's army is in a state of panic. No matter whether it is a detour or waiting for the river to freeze, it is unacceptable.
After several attempts to build temporary bridges, they were all destroyed by the enemy forces at the Watcher's Fortress. Viola's army first camped on the other side of the river,
At this time, most of the people had already begun to bury pots and make rice. Only a small group of soldiers came from the rear pushing wheeled trebuchets.
It was built in Leon territory, not a temporary product from nearby materials.
Its performance in all aspects is much better than temporary products. The only problem is that the quantity is too small, only three units.
It is a bit of a fantasy to think of laying down a fortress with just these three trebuchets.
But if we can't defeat them, we can disgust them.
The army of the Demon Kingdom of Subia, who was watching the situation on the other side of the river nervously, soon saw the trebuchet throwing a bunch of 'little black dots' over. At first, they thought they were stones, but when they fell on the city wall, they discovered that those They were all heads.
Yes, they were the corpses of the Subia Demon Kingdom army and the heads of the seriously wounded in the previous battle.
To prevent the possible spread of the plague, the corpses were burned, but the human heads were collected, tied together in nets and launched through trebuchets.
This is a psychological attack tactic designed to spread fear.
Again, the royal family of Avarus is very kind to their own people, but they will never show any mercy to their enemies. If they say they want to kill your whole family, they will never let go of even a dog. What's even more disgusting is that the head is not thrown at once, but at random times. I throw it away whenever I think of it, without giving the other party any psychological preparation.
Listening to the frightened curses of the demon army of Subia in the fortress on the other side of the river, Viola looked down at the sand table.
She was waiting for three days to cross the river.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
On the other side, Li Chengqi also felt his scalp numb while looking at the screen.
Although he knew from the beginning that war was not a child's play and that dead people were commonplace, he did not expect that Viola would be really ruthless. She would use all available tools to create fear in the opponent.
But having said that, Li Chengqi could help with how to cross the river, but it was best not to take action.
In the previous battle, Li Chengqi was able to steal the limelight. His water bombers hit the enemy all the way, and he used miracles to continuously bomb the Subiya Demon Kingdom's military camp.
At least half of the more than 30,000 casualties were caused by him.
But when I was playing, I was reluctant to put down the book, and it was very painful when I looked back.
The original faith value of more than 200,000 was consumed in this wave by nearly 100,000. After all, the 'Divine Power Wheel' alone cost almost 50,000. It costs faith to put this thing into the screen, and it also costs money to control its actions remotely. Faith value is continuously consumed.
When Viola was making a counterattack plan, Li Chengqi watched the entire process. Of course, he knew that repelling the Subia Demon Kingdom's army was just the beginning.
But just to start, I spent 100,000 faith points, which was a bit too much.
The days of spending faith points are still to come. If you use them now, you will easily get blinded.
Not to mention anything else, if Viola is going to win the very important strategic node of Open City, she will probably need to use a lot of it.
But Li Chengqi didn't have to worry about this, Viola had a way to cross the river.
Seeing that Viola and the others had set up camp on the screen, Li Chengqi stretched and got up to move around.
He just called Qian Sen, and after a polite greeting, he said, 'Is Lathander still in the asylum? I have something here that I need to ask him for help’.
Li Chengqi decided to buy the haunted house he saw before. When Viola led troops to pursue it, he had already taken the time to meet with the seller and agreed on a time to go through the house transfer procedures.
Li Chengqi didn't feel scary about the house where people had died. The only problem was that he was worried that there was something unclean inside.
Lei Lei, the monk who is best at dealing with ghosts, is still in her hometown of Jingzhou. I heard that she is planning to come back, but because of the gods falling, she needs to stay in her hometown to watch over the gods being sheltered by the local ninth department to prevent them from causing trouble.
So I really can’t say when I will come back.
Without professionals, Li Chengqi thought of Luosanda.
I heard that Lathander, the Lord of the Dawn, hates undead creatures very much. If there are ghosts, you can tell at a glance.
For professional matters, just hire professional people to handle it. There is no problem with this operation.
It's just that Qian Sen feels a little bit fucked up...
