Chapter 1115 You still have three days
Demon King’s calendar, year 649
Late October.
The weather is getting colder, and the trees in the forest are beginning to wither, leaving only the evergreens still green.
The important town known as the Light Green City stands in front of Viola and her army. This is a strategic location that must be captured. If this place is not completely controlled, Alyssa's advance will be blocked. The worst is In this case, they will be cut off from their escape route and fall into the dilemma of being beaten from both ends.
At the same time, this is also the second most important city to go to the capital of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom. Taking this place is equivalent to opening the security door of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom, leaving only an inner door.
Raising the telescope, Viola could see a crowd of people on the city wall from a distance, and the soldiers were also looking at Viola's army.
These people would never have imagined that a year ago they were wreaking havoc on the land of Avarus, and a year later the situation would be reversed.
The heavy military drum was beaten, and the rumble of the war drum was like thunder in the sky. This also made the soldiers on the city wall panic a little, and they all tightened their weapons.
But Viola doesn't plan to attack the city now. She just arrived here yesterday, and the soldiers need time to rest and regain their strength.
However, not attacking the city does not mean that there are no other actions.
"Report!"
The messenger came running all the way:
"The surrender letter has been delivered to the city."
Viola nodded and signaled the orderer to rest.
Because all the demons had the same dream that night, and the horns on their heads began to appear after that, everyone knew that their king, the demon king, was back.
This caused the Demon King God's religion, which was originally only spread in Avarus, to quickly spread to other countries, especially the grassroots people. They had never been devout believers. The strong return of the Demon King God made them feel that it might be better to believe in the Demon King God. Get started.
But spreading is one thing, taking hold is another.
The state religion of the Tandelon Demonic Kingdom is the Furious Lady Shilofil, the girl who came to Li Chengqi's house once and was dressed in a Gothic lolita outfit.
Ms. Raging Waves' church has been cultivating in the Tandelon Demon Kingdom for a long time. Even if the gods don't respond now and the Demon King God returns strongly, under such a favorable environment, they will not change immediately just because they want to. After all, people have inertia of thinking. Long-standing habits are not easy to change.
There must be followers of the Demon King's Cult in the light green capital, but the time is too short to form a climate, and they probably won't be of much help in this siege.
But don't forget, the power of the Demon King God is deeply engraved in the hearts of those soldiers who once invaded Avarus.
This is also the reason why the soldiers on the city wall are panicking, and why Viola first submitted a batch of surrender letters.
If you open the city gate and show courtesy, then things will be easier to talk about. If you don't know how to show appreciation, then you will be waiting to bear the tyrant's wrath.
Taking out her pocket watch and checking the time, Viola waved her hand behind her.
A large group of soldiers pushed the newly built catapult closer to the city wall, as if they were going to smash something inside.
A letter of persuasion would make the other party waver, but Viola decided to increase the pressure and let the other party make a decision as soon as possible.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Outside the city, Viola's army has been stationed, but inside the city, there is an eerie silence, especially during the meeting to discuss how to defend, the silence is even more terrifying.
At the conference table, whether they were the generals, staff, or local officials, all had dark faces, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.
"Everyone."
A middle-aged general broke the calm and said in a slightly dry voice:
"Our silence here is just a waste of time. Now Princess Viola's army is already outside the city. This is an unchangeable fact. We need countermeasures."
"Countermeasures? Can you still resist?"
Another general covered his head in pain:
"Don't remind me, that's too scary."
Although it sounds unpromising, this is also the true thought of the officers present.
It’s so fucking scary, okay!
Viola's army is well-equipped, has high morale, and is well-trained, so these are not problems. The problem is that the Demon King God is watching all this in the sky. He is on Viola's side.
That's the problem.
If you want to fight against a god, the easiest way is to ask for help from another god. It cannot be said that a mortal body is completely helpless, but it is too difficult. Those who can fight against the gods on their own will be enough without exception. A great hero passed down through the ages.
There is no such person in the Tandelon Demon Kingdom.
Seeing that the conference table fell into silence again, the man as the city lord looked left and right, and weakly suggested:
"If we surrender..."
The atmosphere suddenly fell to freezing point. The city lord felt that he had said the wrong thing and immediately kept silent.
In fact, it is not a wrong thing to say. Everyone knows that surrender is the only option. The question is how to surrender.
Just open the city gate and say, "Come in, I'll leave."
On the one hand, it's embarrassing, and on the other hand, it's hard to say whether Viola will take this opportunity to rush in directly.
The Demon Kingdom of Tandelon is now besieged by three countries. Even if Avarus is not included, Lakshurea from the east and Osweia from the south are definitely not fuel-efficient lamps. Surrender Viola here, what should the soldiers do? ?
Now is the time to employ people. Once the surrendered soldiers become prisoners, it will be more difficult to defend Lakshurya and Oswaya.
As soldiers and knights of the Demon King, the generals cannot accept such disloyal behavior in order to protect themselves.
"Have you read the letter of surrender sent by the princess?"
"After reading it, they said they would give us three days to think about it."
"The problem is that the princess is willing to give three days, but the Demon King..."
No one dares to guess whether a tyrant has patience. This is more or less like going to the toilet with a straw, just seeking death.
"We should at least reply to Princess Viola as soon as possible and try to avoid divine punishment on ourselves. We will surrender, but we will not be prisoners. We can only retreat."
This is the best way to protect soldiers, and that's true, but the question is, who will do it.
Although there are objective conditions here, if the enemy surrenders without a fight and flees, who will take the blame?
Everyone was hesitant.
At this moment, there was a loud rumble outside, like a thunder that struck everyone's heart.
Damn it, could it be that the tyrant couldn't wait to take action?
Are you so impatient?
Everyone immediately ran out of the conference room and looked in the direction of the city wall.
After a while, the messenger ran over:
"Report, the Avarus army dropped explosives and hit the city wall."
Everyone was relieved when they heard that it was not a divine punishment from the tyrant.
But just after he breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately started talking again.
They saw a huge crack appearing on the smoke-filled city wall. Although it could be repaired, if it happened again, there might be nothing to lose.
This should be impossible. After all, the light green capital has an enchanted city wall. Even with an alchemy bomb weighing several tons, it is impossible to blow a hole.
"What kind of explosive is it?"
"I don't know. It's said to be some kind of metal, spherical object like a sea urchin flying over."
The messenger swallowed his saliva:
"Soldiers saw that there was at least one vehicle in the Avarus army."
“…..”
