Idle game leads to another world

The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their soldiers, and the worst is to attack their cities.

Sun Tzu's Art of War, the chapter on attacking.

Directly using force is the most foolish behavior. No matter how powerful a battle-hardened army is, it will inevitably suffer damage and material losses after a battle.

The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.

This tactical idea is deeply rooted in Viola's mind. Since learning Sun Tzu's Art of War, Viola feels that what she learned before is all rubbish and not up to standard.

Sun Tzu's Art of War does not teach you how to fight in detail, but guides strategic thinking and systematically describes what you need to pay attention to during the march.

This is why Sun Tzu's Art of War has been translated into many languages ​​and has been on the top of the sales charts for many years.

The Demon King is on Viola's side. Of course, this huge advantage must be used. It would be too stupid to rely solely on soldiers to fight.

After all, Viola only has 100,000 soldiers, which are put together here and there. Avarus has just recovered and cannot provide so many soldiers.

The letter of persuasion is to tell the defenders that I don't want to kill them all.

But in order to make them make a decision quickly, necessary pressure must be applied.

Li Chengxi originally wanted to create some miracles, such as using a laser pen to shine it, or simply throwing a newly bought drone in to spin it twice.

But then he thought that if miracles are too common, it would feel that the style would drop, and in the long run it would affect the deterrence.

So Li Chengxi took a few mines from the warehouse of the Swan, taught Viola how to set the timed detonation, and then threw it out with a catapult.

As for the operating guide?

It naturally came from Fang Lanyin.

The mine is not small in size. Li Chengxi even went to the garage to turn on the projector to get it out. It looks like a mine.

This thing will cause some damage to the shield of the warship. A large number of them are arranged into minefields. Even warships have to take a detour. The power is not as good as the void torpedo, but it is definitely not small.

It’s just that the projection method is a bit too simple. It’s like using the most advanced tanks to fight a positional war.

However, the effect is still very good. The cracks in the city wall show that Viola has the ability to break it. Persuading surrender is just not wanting to kill people. You can decide for yourself.

Viola was very patient. After waiting for a day and a night, the city sent an envoy to express that the defenders were willing to surrender, but the specific details were being discussed.

Viola generously said that my deadline is three days. You can discuss it yourself. I will attack the city when the time comes.

Since then, the city has been busy, and I don’t know what it is busy with.

However, there are signs that other gates of the Light Green City are open, and it seems that goods and personnel are being transported.

Viola did not surround the city. It was not a siege of three gates and one gate, but simply did not surround it.

Regarding the movement in the city, Viola said that they should go with them and keep a close watch to prevent sneak attacks.

On the morning of the third day, when the time limit was about to expire, someone opened the city gate and surrendered to Viola.

At this time, there were only about a thousand soldiers left in the Light Green City, and a surrendered scapegoat, or general, and they all laid down their weapons and surrendered. Viola took this important city without bloodshed.

It was expected that the large army would move and run away. Viola did not intend to chase them at all. Her purpose was not to destroy the Tandron Demon Kingdom, and she was not interested in annihilating the opponent's living forces.

After entering the city, Viola restrained the army while arranging garrisons, controlling public security, officials of all sizes, and important facilities such as warehouses.

The city must be completely occupied to ensure that Viola's logistics lines are unobstructed. To be honest, this is much more troublesome than attacking the city.

As for the surrendered soldiers, Viola chose to let them all go. You can go wherever you want, but don't stay here.

Keeping these captives in vain is a waste of food and an unstable factor. Killing them all seems too brutal and is not conducive to further advancement.

Anyway, Viola didn't want to destroy the Tandron Demon Kingdom, so she let them go.

Li Chengxi watched the whole process and felt a little disappointed.

Damn, why didn't they resist?

Li Chengxi saw that Viola was going to fight again, so he bought a lot of drones and remote control toys, waiting to start a killing spree, but the other party suddenly became cowardly.

On the bright side, at least the faith value was saved, and there will be many places to use this stuff in the future. It is naturally a good thing to save this important resource.

It seems that Viola will stay in the Light Green City for a while, waiting for the follow-up troops to take over the city. Li Chengxi had to put down the remote control in his hand and turn his head to look at the other side.

Yang Yiyi is still trudging in the desert. The girl now looks like she has been sunburned. She is lying on the camel's back with her hump in her arms. The sunshade roof above her head seems too thin and has no effect.

Obviously, she thought too simply about the difficulty of moving forward in the desert.

People who have never been to the desert would think that the so-called desert is just a hot spot with more sand, so what.

In fact, when you enter the desert, you will find that you are still naive.

In the desert, it is not as simple as a hot spot. The high temperature makes the air distorted, just like being in a big furnace being slowly roasted by a small fire. Drinking water can cool down, but it is not air conditioning.

Li Chengxi asked Aoerdai for a few bottles of cooling potion. It is said that it is a low-level magic potion that adventurers like to use and can prevent heatstroke.

But it is not air conditioning. It is still hot.

At present, Yang Yiyi is waiting for Li Chengxi to send her popsicles and ice cream from time to time so that she can feel that she is alive. However, she ate too much ice cream yesterday and had diarrhea in the middle of the night...

——That is why she looks soft now.

Li Chengxi picked up a few ice packs bought online and stuffed them in. The slight coolness brought by the ice packs frozen in the refrigerator should make this desert trip more bearable.

Then, Li Chengxi looked at Alyssa again.

They have been in the base for several days. Although Alyssa just strolls around every day and even runs to the beach lounge chair to enjoy the humid sea breeze, not everyone is so idle.

Fang Lanyin repaired the damaged parts of the Swan and tried to connect the booster rocket to the Swan with the help of others using the crane in the base.

Thank you Star Cluster Union, thank you universal interface, thank you standardization, thank you Lao Ma open source...

No, you don’t need to thank the last one.

In short, since they are all ships within the Star Cluster Union, the interface is universal, which saves a lot of trouble.

However, the booster rocket has not been refueled yet, after all, the departure date has not been set.

The automatic production line in the secret base has produced many test products these days, but after all, Emma and Sun Lin brought the original design drawings, which have not been improved at all, and there are many problems, and there is no guarantee that it will be effective.

So it will take time to continue research, and for the time being, the Swan is unlikely to return to the void immediately.
