Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1942 The salted fish turns over
At the same time, the army led by Zora and Olde had arrived at the nearest city of Subia.

This is a small city called Oak City with a population of less than 50,000, and it is next to a large oak forest.

Normally, such a small city would not attract any attention, but Avarus’ army had already moved to the other side of the mountains some time ago.

So this little city that no one cared about immediately became the most forward base.

Although it has decided to make peace with Avarus, in order to prevent Viola from planning to march all the way to the capital, Oak City still stockpiled a large amount of supplies in case of emergency.

When the army led by Zora and Olde approached, there was chaos in Oak City. People probably thought that Avarus was attacking, so they immediately closed the city gates and loaded their crossbows.

These guys have indeed lost contact with the capital and even with the outside world, otherwise they should know that Avarus is not here to invade them but to help them.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Zora had no choice but to send a messenger with a handwritten letter from Princess Flavia.

I don’t know what the letter said, but after Oak City was peaceful for a while, the general guarding the city personally led a few guards out of the city and headed towards Avarus’ army.

Flavia is a very prestigious princess, but she does not have a close relationship with the powerful nobles in the capital, so she was defeated in the coup and had to flee to Avarus and seek refuge with Viola in an attempt to make a comeback.

Now that all the cities in Subia have lost contact with the capital and cannot receive direct orders at all, the arrival of the princess is of course extremely important.

When the general saw Flavia with his own eyes, he seemed to finally feel relieved.

"General, our scouts discovered that your army was fighting with an unknown army. What is the situation around here now?"

In response to Zora's question, the general first looked at Flavia, and when she nodded, he said:

"We suddenly lost contact with the rear headquarters. Without further instructions, I decided to continue to perform my garrison duties. About a day ago, refugees said that an army was approaching us, so I sent out cavalry to harass us. Your scouts should have seen our cavalry."

He continued:

"We have no idea what's going on. These past few days, people have frequently seen strange machines flying through the sky. The shadows of the floating islands seem to be becoming clearer and clearer. Many people in the city are fleeing with their families, as if they are worried that the floating islands in the sky will fall down."

"No other contact with friendly forces?"

"No, we haven't received any contact from other friendly forces for almost a month. We can only get some news from the refugees who fled from nearby villages and towns."

In order to prevent Avarus from advancing, Subia adopted the strategy of attacking in multiple areas.

After all, after passing that mountain range, Subiya has no natural barriers to defend, and the road ahead is all endless plains.

In this situation, Subia broke up his army into smaller units and scattered them across multiple cities on the front line. If Avarus wanted to force a breakthrough, he would have to defeat them one by one, which would greatly aggravate Viola's logistical problems and take a lot of time.

Subia knew that he could not win, after all, the Demon King stood behind Viola, so he adopted such a defensive strategy, with the aim of making Avarus withdraw his troops voluntarily.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy itself, but the problem is that it relies heavily on coordination. Once communications are cut off, it is likely that the scattered armies will have to fight on their own.

Now the communication is cut off.

"How much do you know about that unknown army?"

"not much."

The general shook his head and said:
"They seem to have appeared suddenly. They have been active in the area west of us recently and attacked villages and towns. They seem to be looting supplies. Maybe they don't have enough supplies. We sent cavalry to fight them several times, but it didn't make much sense. They seem to have a particularly advanced musket. Although we haven't fully equipped the troops, it will cause considerable casualties to our cavalry."

Viola had a musket, but it was very primitive, basically the level of a flintlock rifle.

This kind of musket will be dispersed even if it is fired at three times by the cavalry. Moreover, it is questionable whether this kind of musket can penetrate the armor of elite cavalry. The muskets mentioned by the general are probably already developed to fixed ammunition, but the quantity is not enough.

"in addition……"

The general hesitated, but still said:

"My people said that the soldiers of the unknown army don't look like demons. They don't have horns, and they don't look like other races. No one has seen who they are. Before you all arrived, I thought they were..."

"Do you think it's your Majesty's army?"

The general nodded, thinking so.

One of the important reasons why Subia suffered a great defeat at the hands of Avarus was that he was frightened by Li Chengxi.

Therefore, when seeing something that does not conform to common sense, the first reaction is that it is a divine punishment from the Demon God.

Zora and Oldie looked at each other. It turned out that Subia’s people had not figured out the situation yet.

Flavia said at this time:

"General, this is an extremely critical moment. Those troops are invaders, and they are humans who only exist in legends."

"What? Human? Your Highness, it's not that I don't believe you, but..."

"Too much nonsense, huh?"

For the vast majority of people in the Demon Realm, the existence of humans is basically the same as the Monkey King in Journey to the West. They have heard of it, but no one believes it is true.

Only a wizard like Orde knows that the Demon Realm is just an insignificant plane in the multiverse, and in most planes, humans are the dominant race.

"No matter how unbelievable it is, it is true. We are facing a threat from another dimension."

Flavia said:
"Not long ago, the demon kings reached a consensus. Under the witness of the Lord, we need to unite to resist the threat from the other dimension. While you are hesitating, Guatni's warships have set out, Oswaya's army is gathering, and Enwei and Laksuria's supplies are being transported to the front line. Do you want to bring shame to Subia?"

"This... is not an order..."

The general was still hesitating, and Flavia raised her voice:

"General, are you loyal to the Subia Demon Kingdom or my weak brother Olawel?"

She said loudly as if scolding:

"My brother can no longer fulfill his duties as the Demon King of Subia, but our people are being invaded by threats from another dimension. I came here not as a witness, but as a participant. If necessary, I am willing to take up my sword and go to the battlefield myself. This is all for the motherland. General, now tell me your answer. Are you loyal to the country or to yourself?"

The general hesitated for only a second, then immediately knelt in front of Flavia:

"Your Highness, I will always be loyal to my country. I have never forgotten the oath I swore when I joined the army."

"Okay, now please lead your army to discuss cooperation with Avarus' army. We need to move towards the royal city. The answers to all the anomalies are there."

Zora glanced at Flavia but said nothing. This useless person who should have had no chance actually took advantage of this moment to turn things around.
