Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.

May 19th, early morning.

Facing the mist, Viola walked down the gangway.

She looked at the still very busy port and sighed.

If there was no war, the port would be more prosperous and lively, right?

"Your Highness, be careful, there seems to be someone watching around you."

Shelley took two quick steps to block Viola's side, his fingers on the hilt of his sword, ready to deal with any danger.

Zola, the leader of the Guards Knights, was arranged to stay in the Leon territory to continue working. Those responsible for protecting Viola were all the best ones specially selected from the Guards Knights.

"Shelley, you are too nervous, but it is true that there are several eyes staring at His Highness."

Hill, wearing a cloak, appears on the left. As a scout in the army and an elf with keen senses, Hill is extremely sensitive to gaze.

Princess Viola will come to Qihang City. This matter is neither secretive nor fanfare. It is normal for someone in Qihang City to receive the news in advance.

This place is the trade and logistics center of Northland, and commerce is extremely developed. The richer a place is, the easier it is to breed crime, and the pressure on public security is also increasing.

Precisely because it is a transportation hub, people from all walks of life can be found here. It can even be said very clearly that there are spies from the four countries in Qihang City who are hostile to the four countries.

It's just that the forces in the city are intertwined. At this time, there are troops outside the city attacking the city. There is really no chance to arrest them. It is not worth the panic of people who want to make too big a fuss.

Therefore, Li Chengqi's worries are really not unfounded. It is indeed not very safe here.

"Many organizations have taken root here too deeply. Even now, a steady stream of information is being sent out of the city. Your Highness, we will try our best to get back as soon as possible."

As a local, Wendy obviously understands better and added at the end:

"But don't worry too much. Most organizations just want to make a living and generally won't conflict with the officials. Don't worry about them. It just so happens that we also need to send out a signal that His Highness is here."

The meaning of Viola, the princess, is actually more important than her ability.

As long as she lives, the Demon Kingdom of Avarus will not be considered destroyed, and the noble lords loyal to the royal family will continue to resist.

Once the royal family is dead and loses the lord they should be loyal to, the noble lords' will to resist will become weak.

In other words, in order to ensure Viola's safety, the information that she has been to Sailing City must be spread.

From this point of view, the gray organizations that work in the city are excellent channels. They can deliver news faster than the official.

Viola herself knew this very well, so compared to Shelley's nervousness, she seemed much calmer.

"Let's go, the greeter is here."

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Viola came to Qihang City as a princess, so it was natural for Qihang City to welcome Viola as a princess.

For example, he was patrolling the streets in a convertible like Melezon, waving to the cheering crowds along the way.

This operation took almost two hours before Viola arrived at the city lord's mansion.

Wendy's father, the current city lord Walter, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the princess coming in, he immediately led his officials and staff to kneel down to greet her.

When a princess goes to a place, there are still many etiquette rules. In short, it takes a few operations before she can finally speak properly.

"Your Highness, I believe the soldiers will be very happy that you can come to Qihang City."

"I am also very grateful to you all for being able to hold on to the city at this time."

"Your Highness, please move to the dining room. I will order people to prepare a banquet."

"No, let's go to the conference room. The banquet can be anytime. I want to understand the situation first."

Walter had heard that Princess Viola had been very independent since she was a child, but he didn't know much about it. Now that the country is about to be destroyed, the princess has not shown any weakness. This alone is enough to show that she is not a flower vase.

"Of course, please come this way, Your Highness."

Not long after, a group of people appeared in the conference room, and Walter described the current situation in Sailing City in detail.

"Although there is no problem with defense for the time being, it will be difficult to counterattack with the military power of Sailing City. I speculate that as time goes by, material supplies may become more difficult."

Not all territories have such favorable conditions as Qihang City, and not all nobles hold the belief that they will never surrender.

As more and more territory is captured, there will be fewer and fewer places to obtain supplies in Qihang City, and eventually they will be trapped alive.

"Leon Territory is promoting a special crop called potatoes. It is harvested three times a year and can be stored for seven or eight months. If further processed, it will be stored for a longer period of time, which should relieve the pressure on Qihang City. "

Food supply is the most difficult thing for Qihang City. After all, the army outside the city is besieging the city, and the farmland has long been destroyed, making it impossible to produce food. Now it relies entirely on food reserves and food shipped from other territories.

But as I said just now, just because there is no problem now does not mean there will be no problem in the future. It only takes less than two days to travel to Leon's territory by water. Being able to replenish food nearby is a shot in the arm for Sailing City.

"In addition to food, once the facilities being built in Leon's territory are completed, they can also provide paper, grease and even weapons and armor, which will be enough to support the continued fighting in Sailing City."

Although this was good news for the city lord, Walter waited for Viola to finish speaking and asked:

"Your Highness, I understand your intention to build the Leon Territory into a rear base, but you can also stay in Sailing City to remotely control the Leon Territory."

Walter said this because he was worried.

Although the land transportation to Leon's territory has been cut off, it is not too difficult to clear it. If the enemy quickly clears the canyon road and sends troops to attack, Walter, who is far away in Sailing City, will be unable to assist him. He may fight when he hears the news. It's over.

"You might as well stay in Qihang City. I am willing to guarantee your safety with my life."

"I'm very grateful that you are still willing to think about the country at this time, but I still have no choice but to refuse."

"Is it because of the Demon King God?"

"If you say it doesn't matter at all, I guess you won't believe it. Yes, I received divine revelation in the Leon Territory. I think your Majesty is hinting at the importance of my Leon Territory."

"With all due respect, Your Highness, I don't believe that any god will help mortals without any request. Of course, I don't want to interfere with your beliefs."

"I understand what you mean. But even without your Majesty's reasons, I cannot stay in Qihang City."

Viola said:

"As long as I live, I am a flag. Similarly, it is also a flag that the enemy is eager to destroy. If I stay in Qihang City, it will not only be the Kingdom Tigers of the Subia Demon Kingdom attacking the city outside, but also the Allied Forces of the Four Nations. They will send people over. How long can Qihang City survive the attack of the four-nation coalition? "

If she stays in the Leon Territory, the Four Nations Allied Forces will feel that she is not a threat. After all, the Leon Territory is a remote and remote place. If you just ask around, you will know that even if you want to develop and build a team here, it will not work. There are not many people to recruit.

But if you stay in Qihang City, it will serve as a flag of resistance. Then the situation will be different. In order to carve up the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, the four-nation coalition will definitely spend all its resources to attack.
