Idle game leads to another world

With the arrival of morning light, the noise of last night dissipated with the wind, and the fire had long been extinguished, leaving only a few wisps of black smoke and burnt marks caused by smoldering.

On the ground, there were many petals and colored paper pieces left, which were left by the civilians of Kaimen City when they welcomed Princess Viola into the city early in the morning.

Viola deliberately waited until the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom had almost run away before sending people to clear the city gates and enter. There was no direct conflict between the two sides at all. It was really without spending a single soldier, and Kaimen City was captured entirely by psychological warfare.

At this time, Viola's army had already entered the city to receive the supplies left by the Subia Demon Kingdom, and the navy also entered the port. Kaimen City was completely in Viola's hands.

But then again, the most troublesome thing was after taking over the city. For example, the mess of inciting rebellion last night had to be dealt with first.

After Viola entered the city, she first gave a speech, highly praising the spirit of the residents of Kaimen City who fought bravely and fearlessly, and then praised the guards for their unyielding will to defend their country and expel foreign enemies.

After the speech, she told the guards privately, "I know you want to return to the army, but the city's public security still needs you. I promise you in the name of the princess that as long as you recruit enough people to maintain public security, you can return to the army."

This is commonly known as drawing a pie in the sky.

With the army and navy under her command and the "police" successfully captured, Viola will deal with the chaos in the city next.

For example, start with the old accounts.

When Kaimen City surrendered to the Subia Demon Kingdom, some officials who were unwilling to kowtow to the enemy had already followed the soldiers who also did not want to stay. Some nobles with large families and businesses could not escape, but they also immediately submitted their resignation letters. Some officials even chose to go underground and form a resistance organization.

All other officials, especially nobles, were declared guilty of treason. The first thing Viola did when she entered the city was to raid the homes of these people.

For a time, the prison was overcrowded. Men, women, old and young were all stuffed in. Many sealed properties appeared on the streets, waiting for time to count the property.

For this operation, the people of the whole city said it was a basic operation.

Everyone knows that the Avarus family is very tolerant to civilians and nobles. I dare not say that all of them are wise kings, but at least they are all benevolent kings.

But everyone knows that they can treat traitors as cruelly as they can, and killing the whole family is considered a mercy outside the law.

At least so far, all those who have been arrested are direct blood relatives and people with close relationships such as husband and wife. If it is according to the laws of the kingdom, it is not surprising to execute nine clans.

At present, these people are being urgently interrogated, but the main purpose of the interrogation is to confirm whether the wrong person has been arrested.

Viola generously stated that if someone can provide valuable information, they can be exempted from hanging and exiled instead.

As for what is valuable intelligence, it is up to Viola to decide.

By the way, the city lord Gregor was also successfully found.

After entering the city, Viola sent scouts to track down the fleeing Subia Demon Kingdom Army, mainly because they were afraid that they would come back without honor.

On the way, the scouts found the city lord Gregor, who was already exhausted.

He knew very well that if Princess Viola entered the city, he would not have any good results, so he ran away when the Subia Demon Kingdom Army retreated.

But this guy weighed more than 200 pounds, was fat and pampered, and could not run far at all. And for the Subia Demon Kingdom Army, he had lost his value and was too lazy to care about him.

The army made a strategic shift, and they didn't care whether a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds could keep up, so he was captured by the patrol.

So it is said that dog traitors are not welcome, and the enemy does not treat you as a human being.

The arrested city lord still clamored to see Viola, saying that he endured humiliation and protected Kaimen City from the flames of war, and that he had worked hard even if he had no merit.

He tried to save his life with this trick.

But Viola didn't bother to care about him. After counting the identities of the city lord's family, she hung them all in the square outside the castle. Because the city lord was too fat, the pole he was hung on was thicker than others, and the rope was two more than others.

Don't think that it's not good to say that Lu Bu's three-surnamed slave is a slave. In fact, this is really a technical job. If you play it wrong, it will be the fate of the city lord Gregor.

Speaking of which, Kaimen City originally lacked many officials. This arrest directly stopped the government, and almost all public officials were arrested.

So in order to continue to maintain the operation of the government, Viola announced that the officials who resisted the organization would be reinstated immediately and take over the work while arresting people.

All the officials who surrendered and chose to resign in Kaimen City have now returned to their original jobs. Although there are not enough people, they can barely maintain operations.

And everyone knows that the so-called reinstatement is only temporary.

Don't forget, we haven't rewarded them yet.

The Avarus family will not forget the contributions of their own people.

For example, Melanie, the leader of the resistance organization, has now returned to the tax department she has always cared about and continues to serve as a tax officer. But since the tax department has basically been arrested, Melanie is actually the head of the tax department, and she has the final say on how to reorganize the work.

In other words, if you perform well now and prove that you are capable, then promotion in the future is a foregone conclusion. It is not impossible for people who have made great contributions to be canonized as new nobles.

At the same time, as soon as they entered the city, they started to confiscate the property and destroy the ancestors, which was also to deter the restless guys in the city.

I didn't ask about the things like people stealing and looting last night, but if they dare to jump under my nose, I will let you know what torture is.

The meaning is to tell them to stop when they are ahead and don't make me unhappy.

After catching a few guys who tried to take advantage of the chaos, the public security on the streets was cleared, and with the deterrent power of the army, the Kaimen City was firmly in Viola's hands.

Then again, it was not easy to take over the Kaimen City, but there was not even a celebration banquet, and they started working as soon as they entered the city.

And there was so much work that it seemed like there was no end to it.

The arrested officials needed to be interrogated, the supplies in the city needed to be counted, and ways to restore the government functions had to be found. Most importantly, they had to pay attention to the movements of the enemy.

As soon as they entered the city, they went straight to 007, without even a break.

And Viola had to find time to meet two people.

"Princess, we are more happy to see you in good health than anything else."

"I am also happy to see familiar faces, Count Sukarno and Count Javier."

The two earls are one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, and they look the same on purpose. The only thing they have in common is that they are both about 40 or 50 years old.

They are the lords of the Southern Peninsula territory next to Kaimen City.

The Subia Demon Kingdom originally attacked their territories first, but because Kaimen City surrendered directly, and their territories happened to be on the terrain of a peninsula, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they would be blocked by the navy if they took the sea route.

So after Kaimen City surrendered, the Subia Demon Kingdom simply bypassed them and went straight to Qihang City.

After all, as long as Qihang City was taken, the navy, which was the most threatening, would basically have no place to dock, and it would be much easier to take their territories back.

When they were young, both of them had participated in the war against the Subia Demon Kingdom with Viola's father. Let alone the blood feud, it was normal for them to spit at each other when they met.

As a result, the powerful Kaimen City surrendered, while the weak Peninsula Territory would rather die than obey. We have to die even if it means risking our lives.

The two earls' hard power is not very good. Their defense is OK, not to mention their offense. Their greatest contribution is to deliver a large amount of food and daily necessities to Qihang City by water.

As soon as they heard that Viola had recaptured Kaimen City, they immediately came to see the emperor.

"Your Highness, will you continue to march and completely drive away the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom? There are still two thousand extra troops in my territory that can join your Highness's command."

"I also have three thousand troops for your Highness to dispatch."

"No, I have no plans to continue to march for the time being."

The two earls were relieved when they heard this. They came in such a hurry because they were afraid that Viola would be too ambitious and continue to march rashly.

"Our most important task now is to strengthen our defense. I also have some agricultural matters that I want to discuss with the two earls."

Although we have achieved quite gratifying results so far, and even enough to completely expel the Subia Demon Kingdom from our territory, the biggest threat is no longer them. It is the reaction of the other three countries' coalition forces.

In the near future, a counterattack is likely to be organized.
