Chapter 1491 Raising the Banner

Flavia, the Fugitive Princess of Subia, is a very useful card.

She is from the royal family of Subia and is also a strong contender for the new Demon King.

Unlike her brother who is obsessed with court politics, Flavia, as a woman, knows that it will be difficult for her to win the support of the nobles from her brother.

So she chose to take the civilian route.

After all, a beautiful princess has an advantage. At least at first glance, she is more attractive. In addition, Flavia deliberately takes measures to be close to the people. The common people in the entire Subia Demon Kingdom have a very high opinion of her.

He already has a popular base, so logically speaking, he should still have some chances in the final fight for the position of Demon King.

But someone was behind the scenes and staged a coup, which put Flavia's brother on the throne of the Demon King.

For Flavia, it doesn't matter whether or not she is worthy of being the Demon King. The problem is that you have deprived me of the chance to compete with you. This is absolutely not acceptable.

But the situation was stronger than the person, and the entire court was under control, so Flavia could only lead a few trusted confidants to escape secretly by boat.

She chose to go to Avarus because she knew very well that Viola would recognize Flavia's value.

When the Count of the Subia Demon Kingdom asked for negotiations, Viola simply asked Flavia to come out.

It was obvious that the earl was very surprised. He had never expected to see the princess here, who was supposed to be far away in the capital.

Flavia was also very tactful. She first reprimanded the count, and then emphasized again that her brother Olaveur's rule was illegal and an unfaithful and unjust coup.

The earl was sweating profusely at the time. Of course he had heard about the coup, but now that the dust had settled, what could a small earl say?
The princess's words clearly emphasized the justice of Avarus.

As expected, after Flavia emphasized this, she began to tell the earl clearly that we, Subia, must pay for the crime of invading Avarus, but the person responsible for the payment should not be her brother Olawel, a false emperor who is not worthy of being a demon king.

The army of Avarus did not come to collect debts, but to help the neighboring country to rectify its roots, resist the rule of the false emperor, and help Princess Flavia to purge the emperor.

Even a dog would not believe what you said.

But this reason makes sense. As an excuse for war, it is far more grand than a war of revenge.

Moreover, the Subia Demon Kingdom had absolutely no excuse to avoid the war, unless they were willing to send Olawel, who was now sitting on the throne, to Viola, otherwise it would be inevitable.

The existence of Flavia is very useful. Not only can she clarify the justice and rationality of the advance, but after conquering the territory, she can also appease the civilians in the name of the princess.

It is easy to conquer territory, but someone has to watch over it.

The reason why Viola was chased by the Four-Nation Alliance two years ago was that they wanted to strengthen management in the name of Viola, so as to annex Avarus more reasonably and legally and avoid endless security wars in the future.

The situation is different now, but the principle remains the same. By borrowing the name of Flavia, Avarus can reasonably annex part of the territory of the Subia Demon Kingdom.

There are 11 provinces in the Subia Demon Kingdom. Viola doesn't want much. What she wants most are the three provinces close to Avarus, and she must take at least one of them.

These three provinces are geographically closest to Avarus, and are separated from other provinces of the Subia Demon Kingdom by natural mountains, so convenient transportation makes it easier to digest and absorb. In addition, by taking these three provinces, Avarus will have a new deep-water port and naval base. The territory seized from the Tandron Demon Kingdom can continuously bring high-quality wood, which can be processed here to make ships, which can greatly promote maritime trade.

It may take decades to accomplish this step, but there is no doubt that the prerequisite is to take over the territory and hold it firmly in one's own hands.

The Subia Demon Kingdom certainly doesn't want to fight. It is already at war with the Guatni Demon Kingdom in the south. If Avarus invades from the north again, the Subia Demon Kingdom will be stuck in two ends.

They sent troops to the Demon Kingdom of Tandron in an attempt to keep the enemy out, but the progress was not smooth, so there was nothing they could do.

Those who came to negotiate were mentally prepared to cede territory and pay compensation, but the appearance of Princess Flavia turned the matter from one that could be solved by paying money into a difficult political issue.

The count was now completely unable to make a decision. He could only say, sweating profusely, that he needed to consult his superiors.

Viola also generously said, you have three days to consider, either open the city gate to let us in, or we blast open the city gate and step on your corpses to go in, you have to choose one.

Such a request would certainly be fruitless, and Subiya would not agree to it, so war would be inevitable.

The three days given by Viola seemed ample, but in fact it was time for the fear in the hearts of the soldiers of the Subia Demon Kingdom to fully ferment.

Most of the soldiers of the Subia Demon Kingdom would be unable to sleep whenever they think of the night outside the city of Qihang. The hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten to a pulp by the magnificent power of God, which has left them with a lifelong psychological trauma.

They don’t want to go through it again.

This fear resurfaced when he saw Avarus already at his doorstep, but it took time to reach its peak.

Now the soldiers knew that the nightmare would come again in three days.

Fear will spread quickly in people's hearts like a plague. At that time, whether the negotiations break down and the city is attacked directly, or some soldiers can't stand the fear and choose to surrender directly, it will be very beneficial to Viola.

Anyway, three days earlier or later won't have much impact on Viola's strategy, and it can also make the subsequent siege easier, so why not do it.

It seems that Viola has indeed learned the idea from Sun Tzu's Art of War that attacking the heart is better than attacking the city, and she is doing it quite well.

The earl got on the carriage tremblingly, feeling as if a dog was chasing him, and ran back to the fortress in a flash.

I guess the people in the fortress won’t have an easy time in the near future.

Of course, Viola said that she gave them three days, but they couldn’t just watch the show during those three days.

The soldiers on the fortress were horrified to see that the Avarus army had pulled out several special cannons. They had no intention of attacking the city, but just fired a few shots at random.

The 122mm shaped-charge cannon, even if it is only firing the most basic high-explosive shells, its range and power are far beyond the reach of Viola's currently popular smoothbore iron ball cannon.

Viola didn't aim at the fortress, but just picked a hill as a target. She didn't blast too many shells, but just fired a few shots and then left with the gun.

The meaning is very clear, this is intimidation. If you don't give me a satisfactory result, it will not be as simple as a few cannons hitting your face.
