Idle game leads to another world
Chapter 106 Sailing City
Demon King Calendar 648.
May 7, noon.
There is a prosperous city next to the sea at the southern foot of the World Spine Mountains. It is the largest logistics distribution center in the entire North. One-third of the goods shipped from the south to the north have to pass through this place.
This is Qihang City.
When this city was first established, it was actually just a port for storing supplies. When the Avarus Demon Kingdom was first established, it wanted to explore the end of the world. The Leon Territory and Qihang City were both established during this period.
But unlike the Leon Territory, which is still a remote and poor place, Qihang City, which was originally just a port for docking exploration ships, has now become an important city under the development of commerce. Later, in order to deal with the Dudlong Demon Kingdom Navy, the Avarus Demon Kingdom stationed all the fleets in the North Sea near Qihang City.
Since there are troops stationed, the original commercial city quickly became a fortress, which is also an important reason why it can persist in the siege for so long.
Since it was originally a transportation hub, Qihang City was extremely well-stocked with supplies. Even if the traffic was completely cut off, the supplies in the city would be enough to last for two or three years. Moreover, the navy kept the traffic on the sea smooth, and a steady stream of supplies was transported to Qihang City from the cities that were still resisting.
When the civilians first heard that the capital was breached by the four-nation coalition forces, they were very panicked, especially after hearing about the tragic situation after the capital was looted, fearing that Qihang City would follow suit.
But after the attacks of the army outside the city were blocked again and again, the civilians became very calm, and now they are even used to the frequent alarms from the other side of the city wall.
They think that our Qihang City is impregnable, and no matter how many people come, they will be defeated in vain.
Of course, civilians can be optimistic, but real leaders cannot be blindly optimistic. At least they know that this situation cannot last forever.
In the central castle, a middle-aged man over 40 years old supported his head with his hands, sitting in the main seat listlessly listening to the reports of his subordinates.
He is Wendy's father and the current lord of Qihang City, Walter.
"Last night, the enemy outside the city launched four tentative attacks, but they were all repelled. Our scouts noticed that there was something wrong with the material mobilization in their rear, and speculated that they were preparing for the next large-scale attack."
"The opponent is the Kingdom Tiger of the Subia Demon Kingdom. Let the scouts continue to expand the search range. He can't just launch an attack without purpose."
Wendy's grandfather, who is also Walter's father, is known as the Lion General. He has fought with the Kingdom Tiger of the Subia Demon Kingdom many times without a clear winner. Although he is old, he must not be taken lightly.
"At such an old age, instead of staying at home to enjoy his old age, he ran out to lead the troops. Are you really not afraid of dying outside and not being able to go home?"
After composing a few words about the Kingdom Tiger, Walter signaled his men to continue.
"The navy of the Tandron Demon Kingdom has confirmed its retreat. According to the intelligence sent back by spies and reconnaissance ships, they have returned to the country."
"Let the navy continue to closely monitor, especially their secret weapons. Although the possibility of cooperation with the Kingdom Tiger is small, it is hard to guarantee that they will move things from the ship to the shore for siege."
The Subia Demon Kingdom and the Tandron Demon Kingdom are enemies, but this time they temporarily united for the sake of interests, and the core secrets cannot be shared.
But we have to be on guard.
The civil servant next to Walter interrupted at this time:
"Lord City Lord, do you want to take a rest and take the medicine first?"
"Lukes Internal Affairs Officer, it's time for a regular meeting now."
The officer who was reporting expressed his dissatisfaction, and this Lukes Internal Affairs Officer pretended not to hear it.
"Okay, give me the medicine."
Lukes Internal Affairs Officer took out a crystal clear small bottle, and Walter drank the potion in it. The mental state that was a little sluggish just now immediately improved.
"You continue."
"Yes!"
Although the officer felt that it was not good to rely on drugs to maintain energy, Walter did not listen after several persuasions, and his subordinates did not want to talk endlessly.
"The reason for the retreat of the Tandron Demon Kingdom Navy is speculated to be something that happened in the Leon territory. According to the messenger sent by Princess Viola, the Demon King personally took action and annihilated the fleet before it landed. Only three ships escaped by chance."
"Demon King..."
Walter had reservations about the Demon King that the royal family firmly believed in.
The Tolan family was loyal to the royal family, not the Demon King.
He thought it was a good thing to ban all beliefs in gods in the kingdom. After all, he had seen many social problems caused by religious disputes.
But this Demon King seemed to have really appeared, and the situation was a bit complicated.
"Does the Lord of the City think that the Demon King God does not exist?"
"After all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I think there may be a powerful magician who has received the favor of the royal family who is secretly helping. He just pretends to be the Demon King God to make Princess Viola more acceptable."
Walter's idea is actually very logical. The existence of the Demon King God has long been considered a legend without any basis. Although it is well-known, legends are just legends and do not exist.
Just like you read Journey to the West every day and wish you could recite it by heart, but if one day you hear that Monkey King was stopped by the traffic police on the Second Ring Road for speeding while driving the Somersault Cloud, you will also think it is nonsense...
"But His Highness seems to believe it."
"Wendy's recent letter also praised the Demon King God. I didn't expect that my daughter who always shouts that facts are better than eloquence would be obsessed with theology."
Walter shook his head:
"Whether the Demon King God really exists is not important. Since Princess Viola believes that he exists, there is no need to deny it. In this situation, if there is a religion that can stabilize people's hearts, it would be a good thing."
He waved to another civil servant in charge of recording:
"Please write a reply for me, saying that I understand the strategic intentions of Her Royal Highness, but I still hope that Her Royal Highness can show up in Qihang City to boost morale. Be careful with your words and don't make people feel uncomfortable."
In any case, the Thor family is loyal to the Avarus royal family, and will never surrender even if the country is in great change.
But not everyone is so loyal. Rumors have begun to spread that the royal family has died out, so it is better to open the city and surrender.
If Viola can show up, it will naturally make the rumors self-defeating and greatly boost morale.
"The matter of Your Highness coming to Qihang City is top secret, and no news can be leaked. Do you understand?"
As expected of the son of General Lion, although his tone is calm, everyone's heart tightens when he glances at them.
But of course they didn't know that these conversations were all seen very clearly by an outsider.
"Just find something for Viola to do, she won't refuse, right?"
Outside the screen, Li Chengxi, who watched the entire conversation, thought it was okay.
The Leon territory is still under construction, and there are indeed a lot of written documents that need to be processed, but Viola is not the only one.
The princess came to Qihang City not only to inspire the local military and civilians, but also to inspire all the generals and soldiers who are still resisting as long as the news of her appearance spreads.
Having said that, Li Chengxi didn't intend to interfere. Whether to come to Qihang City depends on Viola's own ideas.
Turning his head to look at Yang Yiyi on the old computer, the screen said 'Iron Head Kung Fu, being taught', and the countdown was still two hours.
Li Chengxi decided to think about the lunch problem first.
