Chapter 1721 Punch on cotton
Although it is winter, it is not cold here in Subiya. It is a bit exaggerated to say that the temperature is similar to that in Guangdong and Guangxi, but it is not time to wear thick cotton clothes.

According to the average temperature, even during the coldest time of the year, the most you can do is put on a sweater.

In contrast, the capital of Avarus, the Silver City, has long been covered in snow, and about one-third of the country has been sealed under ice and snow.

This may also be the reason why more and more letters were sent from the rear asking Viola to withdraw her troops.

Avarus really couldn't afford to continue the war. If it continued like this, the farmers would not even have enough food for the winter or even enough crops to grow in the spring.

Viola is well aware of this. Although she occasionally displays the characteristics of a tyrant, she is not a foolish and willful person. She is naturally clear about the reality of the situation.

With the withdrawal imminent, Viola finally waited for the last link of her strategic plan.

Take the mountain pass fortress.

This should have been done a month ago, but due to Olde's actions, lava erupted and large areas of magma blocked the army's route. The volcanic ash and scorching temperature also forced Viola to stay where she was.

Until now, the eruption has finally stopped and the lava has basically cooled down completely. Taking this opportunity, Viola immediately asked the army, which had been resting in place for a month, to move out.

The mountain pass fortress that Viola wants to capture is an important land hub connecting the Subia Demon Kingdom with the mainland. Taking it is equivalent to controlling the mountains.

It also turned Subia, a land country, into a peninsula country.

Part of its land territory was taken by Guateni, and part was taken by Avarus. Its strength was severely damaged, and it would take decades for it to recover.

Viola recently received the latest news that Lakshuriya was sending reinforcements to the vicinity of the Enwei Demon Kingdom, which made the Enwei Demon Kingdom, the only one not involved in the war, extremely frightened.

Viola's ministers sent several messages to the Enwei Demon Kingdom, hoping to speed up the delivery of prisoners of war and restore the troops as soon as possible.

This is a good thing. Avarus can watch the fire from the other side and make some money from the war. Not participating does not mean there is no money to be made.

Anyway, it is up for grabs now, so Viola is not in a hurry. She estimates that Lakshuriya will at least wait until the end of the busy spring farming season before starting the war against the Enwei Demon Kingdom.

Osvea took back his own fortress and territory from the Demon Kingdom of Tandron, and further expanded the territory. Like Avarus, he had reached the limit of his appetite.

The Demon Kingdom of Oswaya has never been good at war. It would be a blessing for them to take advantage of this favorable situation and expand their territory. They do not pursue more territory.

Currently, the Oswaya Demon Kingdom is playing the role of a peacemaker and has sent people to deliver letters to Viola several times, hoping to end the war with the Subia Demon Kingdom.

The nobles of Oswaya and Subia were closely connected, and most likely they had sent someone to look for Viola.

This was exactly what Viola wanted. She really couldn't fight any longer, but others asking for peace and voluntarily withdrawing her troops were two different things.

So Viola deliberately delayed giving a reply until she reached her limit, mainly trying to drag the situation out so that she could gain the upper hand during the negotiations.

Guattani's side has also reached its limit. It's not that they can't fight anymore, but they can't eat anymore.

As the weakest Demon Kingdom, Guatni has a small population. Even if it occupies more territory, it does not have enough people to develop and recruit. Keeping too many people in its hands would be a problem.

Guatni is now waiting for Viola to express her opinion. She said that when the truce is reached, Guatni will naturally take advantage of the situation and step down. As for the Demon Kingdom of Tandron, it has now completely become history.

The country was divided among the three kingdoms, and only the capital was retained as a neutral city, and a branch of the Tandelon royal family that posed no threat was chosen.

This neutral city will serve as a buffer zone between the territories of the three countries, so that everyone can feel more at ease.

The world situation is roughly like this. The seven demon kingdoms have become six. As for whether it will become five or even four, it is not possible to judge in a short time. In any case, Avarus will not be able to launch a large-scale war in the next ten years at least, and there will no longer be mobilizations of tens of thousands of people. It will enter a long period of recuperation.

Princess Flavia came to Viola several times, hoping that she would continue fighting, but Viola's decision would not be changed by her few words.

The purpose of this princess's existence is just a banner. Now that the war is almost over, the banner is naturally of no use.

Her current surplus value will be brought out during negotiations.

According to Viola's idea, it would be best if Flavia could return to Subia and get entangled with her brother. However, there are still many details to consider in this matter, and it is just a general direction for now.

The Demon Realm is about to emerge from years of war and return to a peaceful period. Although conflicts will still break out, there will be no large-scale wars.

This will be conducive to the spread of the Demon King Cult, and it is likely that the next trouble will be religious economic and cultural struggles.

Of course, the most important thing for Viola now is to capture the Yamaguchi Fortress.

The fortress was actually not far from Viola's army. At most, it was only a day or two's journey away. If it weren't for the lava blocking the road, they would have accomplished this long ago.

However, when Viola led her army to the fortress with the idea of ​​fighting a final battle, she found that the fortress was quiet and did not look like it was prepared for a siege.

Subia is not Tandron and is far away from Avarus. Although Li Chengxi's rain of fire caused serious psychological trauma to the soldiers of Subia, the power of the Demon King Cult has not spread. The main religion here is still the Raging Girl Hilofil.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the situation like what happened in Tandron would happen where the common people would open the city gates themselves once the army arrived.

Viola thought there might be a trick, so she sent a reconnaissance team in to check, while the army waited outside at a safe distance.

As it turned out, there was really no one in the fortress.

This isn't even an empty city plan, it's just that the Subiya army abandoned the fortress and ran away.

To be honest, this is actually very strange. If Subia loses the Yamaguchi Fortress, she will almost never have a chance to return to the mainland. Viola feels that there will most likely be a fierce battle.

So Viola sent a large number of engineers and some court mages and priests in to see if there were any magic traps. For example, after Viola took over the fortress, some kind of extremely powerful alchemical bomb would explode, blowing the entire fortress, along with Viola and her army, into the sky.

But there was nothing. The people sent to check carefully for a whole day and found nothing wrong.

What Viola thought was the final battle ended so senselessly.

This made Viola feel very uncomfortable. She felt like she had put all her strength into fighting, only to find that the other party didn't want to fight anymore...
