Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 121 Visit
The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

May 19th, early morning.

Viola walked down the gangway into the mist.

She looked at the port which was still very busy and sighed.

If there were no war, the port would probably be more prosperous and lively, right?
"Your Highness, be careful, there seems to be someone watching you."

Shelley took two quick steps to stand beside Viola, his fingers on the hilt of his sword, ready to deal with any danger at any time.

Zora, the leader of the Royal Guards, was arranged to stay in the Leon territory to continue his work. Those who were responsible for protecting Viola were all the best selected from the Royal Guards.

"Shelley, you are too nervous, but it is true that there are many eyes on His Highness."

Hill, wearing a cloak, appeared on the left. As a scout in the army and an elf with keen perception, Hill was extremely sensitive to gazes.

Princess Viola's visit to Sailing City was neither concealed nor publicized, so it was normal for someone in Sailing City to receive the news in advance.

This place is the trade and logistics center of the North, with extremely developed business. The richer a place is, the more likely it is to breed crime, and the greater the pressure on public security.

Precisely because of its characteristics as a transportation hub, people from all walks of life make a living here. It can even be said very clearly that there are spies from the four hostile countries in Qihang City.

However, the forces in the city were intertwined and there were troops outside the city attacking it. There was really no opportunity to search for them, and it would not be worth it to make a big fuss and cause panic among the people.

So, Li Chengxi’s worries are not groundless. It is indeed not safe to come here.

"Many organizations have taken root too deeply here. Even now, there is a steady stream of intelligence being sent out of the city. Your Highness, let's go as quickly as possible."

As a local, Wendy obviously understood better, and added:
"But there's no need to worry too much. Most organizations are just trying to make a living and generally won't conflict with the authorities. Don't worry about them. We just need to send out a signal that His Highness is here."

Princess Viola's existence is actually more important than her abilities.

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 wiped out and they have lost their lord to whom they should be loyal, the will of the noble lords to resist will become weak.

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

From this point of view, the gray organizations that make a living in the city are an excellent channel, as they can transmit information faster than the official ones.

Viola herself was well aware of this, so compared to Shelley's nervousness, she seemed much calmer.

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

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Viola came to Qihang City in a clear and presentable manner as a princess, so Qihang City naturally welcomed Viola as a princess.

For example, he could parade down the street in a convertible like Melozone, waving to the cheering crowds along the way.

This operation took nearly 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 come in, he immediately led the officials and staff to kneel down to greet her.

When the princess arrives at a place, there are still many etiquette rules. In short, after all the procedures, she can finally talk 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 for still defending the city at this time."

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

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

Walter had heard that Princess Viola had always been very opinionated, but he had never known her in depth. Now that her country was about to be destroyed, the princess did not show any weakness, which was enough to show that she was not just a pretty face.

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

Not long after, a group of people appeared in the conference room, and Walter gave a detailed account of the current situation in Qihang City.

"Although there is no problem with defense for now, it is difficult to counterattack with the military strength of Qihang City. I speculate that as time goes by, it may become more difficult to supply materials."

Not all territories have such favorable conditions as Qihang City, and not all nobles are willing to fight to the death and never surrender.

As more and more territories were conquered, Qihang City had fewer and fewer places to obtain supplies, and eventually it was trapped to death.

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

Food supply is the most difficult thing for Qihang City. After all, the city is surrounded by a large army and the farmland has been destroyed long ago, making it impossible to produce food. Now it relies entirely on reserve grain and food shipped from other territories to survive.

But as I said before, 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 Territory by water, and being able to resupply food nearby is like a shot in the arm for Qihang City.

"In addition to food, the facilities that Leon Territory is building will also provide paper, oil, and even weapons and armor once they are completed, which will be enough to support Qihang City to continue fighting."

Although this is 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 Qihang City and remotely control the Leon Territory."

Walter said this because he was worried.

Although the land transportation to the Leon 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 Qihang City, will be unable to provide assistance. By the time he hears the news, the battle may have been over.

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

"I am 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?"

"If I say it has nothing to do with me, I don't think you will believe me. Yes, I received divine revelation in the Leon Territory. I think Your Majesty is hinting at the importance of the Leon Territory."

"Excuse me, Your Highness. I do not believe that any god would help mortals without asking for anything in return. Of course, I do not want to interfere with your beliefs."

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

Viola said:

"As long as I am alive, I am a flag. Likewise, it is also a flag that the enemy is eager to destroy. If I stay in Qihang City, it will not only be the Tiger of the Kingdom of Subia Demon Kingdom that will attack the city. It is very likely that the Four-Nation Alliance will also send people over. How long can Qihang City hold out against the attack of the Four-Nation Alliance?"

If she stayed in the Leon territory, the four-nation coalition would feel that she was not a threat. After all, the Leon territory was a remote and poor place, and one could tell by asking around. Even if one wanted to develop and form an army here, it would not be possible because there were simply not many people available for conscription.

But if they stayed in Qihang City as a banner of resistance, the situation would be different. In order to divide the Avarus Demon Kingdom, the four-nation coalition would definitely attack fiercely at great cost.
