Chapter 316 Passing across Chencang secretly
The army camped on a hillside where the city of Kaimen could be seen in the distance. From the telescope, one could clearly see the soldiers on the city wall facing a formidable enemy. There were also some officers who looked like they were looking through the telescope.
"Your Highness, there seems to be no movement from the enemy."
Viola put down the telescope and looked back to find that it was Greta who had just called her.
"Yeah, I hope they make some movement. It's hard to deal with them now that they're completely cowering."
The opening city originally had 20,000 defenders, and with the 90,000 defeated troops who fled here, the number of people was five to six times that of Viola.
But maybe the previous psychological shadow was too strong. Viola's army camped outside the city in a swaggering manner, and the other party didn't even send anyone to take a look.
This is actually not a good thing. She is completely defensive. Viola does not have enough strength to pry open the turtle shell, so she can only act awkwardly now.
Anyway, they only need to hold on until the other three-nation coalition forces send people to encircle Viola. If Viola does not take the open city as a foothold by then, the territory gained now will be lost again.
"The supplies from Qihang City have just been counted and have been distributed."
Earl Fran has only one child. She has been raised as an heir since she was a child. She knows some military skills, but she is better at internal affairs and logistics. She mainly serves as a quartermaster in the army.
"In addition, the navy has already assembled in the sea area near Kaimen City. It can open the water gate at any time to enter and assist in the siege."
Viola opened and closed her palms towards the Open City from a distance. Because it was large near and small at a distance, the huge Open City seemed to be grasped in the palm of her hand between her fingers.
"If possible, I hope to get it as completely as possible. The navy's participation in the battle is the last option."
The open city leads directly to the Subia Demon Kingdom and the Tandelon Demon Kingdom, and is also distantly connected to the fallen capital. It is likely to be frontally attacked by the four-nation coalition.
If the damage is severe, it may not be repaired before coalition forces arrive.
In other words, you must not only take it, but also take it completely to ensure that its defensive performance cannot be reduced.
This sounds unrealistic.
Avarus is a greedy people, they will set very high goals when setting their goals to ensure that they can maximize their profits.
Being ambitious is far from a good quality, but what if it is really possible?
Greta looked at Viola who picked up the telescope again, and asked tentatively:
"Does your Majesty have any indication?"
"We can't always rely on your Majesty, and your Majesty seems to be very busy recently."
Viola said without looking back:
"I heard from your Majesty that he has been busy celebrating the New Year recently."
"Year?"
"It seems to be a kind of monster that appears every certain day. Even the gods have to brace themselves to deal with it. It must be an extremely powerful monster."
I always feel that they have some misunderstanding about the word "Chinese New Year".
But Greta really believed it, she said:
"Recently, many priests of gods have been unable to receive responses or receive magical spells. I believe this is a good opportunity for you to expand your faith. It would be better if you can take the opportunity to show more miracles."
"Indeed, although I am very busy, your Majesty also said that I will take the time to intervene when necessary."
"Praise your Majesty for your mercy."
Greta said this, but in fact she didn't have much piety.
Count Fran sent Greta to Viola. On the one hand, he wanted to show his sincerity. Sending the only heir was the same as submitting a certificate. On the other hand, Greta is also very familiar with Viola.
In the Demon Kingdom of Avarus today, all the senior government officials are basically finished. Even if the country is restored in the future, the administrative structure will have to be re-established.
Not everyone can be an official. In this world where the literacy rate does not exceed 10%, knowledge is basically monopolized by the nobles. It is extremely difficult for civilians to become officials.
Then, Viola, who is short of manpower after the restoration of the country, will definitely not leave Greta idle.
Greta herself also knew her father's intentions. She completed every task assigned to her by Viola, and she also did what she wanted. She concentrated on studying the church books of the Demon King's Cult, even if she was not convinced about believing in a certain god. He was not interested at all, and he forced himself to read, read, and pray. At least in front of Viola, he felt like a devout believer.
Looking at the city wall again, Viola turned around and said:
"Let's go, we need to make preparations for the siege."
Using the navy to blast open the port gate and rush into the city is the last option, but you must also be prepared for the worst.
"I hope people in the city can bring good news..."
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The simplest and most classic way to capture a well-defended city is to work together from the inside out.
Open City was originally a fortress city operated by the Avarus Demon Kingdom for hundreds of years, and the Avarus clan had not produced any tyrants for hundreds of years. The citizens in the city still had a high favorability towards Viola.
By the same token, they certainly don't like invaders.
In just a few months, the Demon Kingdom of Subia has taken control of the open city, but it has yet to win the hearts and minds of the people.
According to the information sent by Qihang City, there is a resistance force gathering underground in Open City, hoping to drive away the invaders.
If you want to take over the city completely through internal and external cooperation, you must first send someone to contact them.
But even if you want to send a few people in first, it is not an easy task.
When Viola's army appeared within the sight of the open city, they had already closed all the city gates, and the city opened the anti-teleportation barrier.
All teleportation from outside the city into the city will be blocked, and it is a fool's errand to think of teleporting in.
At the same time, this barrier can also prevent any flight based on magic power, and flying in with a white dragon will also not work.
But there is still a little bit of work.
Several channels used for processing fresh fish in the port area can lead directly to the city. Although there must be soldiers guarding them, Aldai said that I can use group invisibility to bring people in, but the number cannot be too many.
The candidate for infiltration must be Aldai. Otherwise, it is best to choose someone with a fresh face who rarely appears in front of outsiders to avoid being recognized after entering the city.
And they all have to have a certain ability to protect themselves and be able to escape in the worst case scenario.
So the candidates became Aldai, Wendy's housekeeper Rena, and the white dragon Renya who had nothing to do and was sleeping in the carriage after eating every day.
"Although I suggested it, the fishy smell is more exaggerated than I thought."
Aldai sniffed the smell on her body and suddenly felt that she shouldn't have gotten involved.
"Miss Aldai, I brought perfume, you can try it."
Lena is indeed the perfect housekeeper, she even brought this thing with her.
Renya didn't care about the smell of fish at all, she was even a little hungry...
