Chapter 300 Counterattack
The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

Early November, 9pm.

As winter approaches, it gets dark earlier than before. Outside Qihang City, the Subia Demon Kingdom’s army has already entered night mode.

Since May, they have launched an attack outside Qihang City, but after fighting for half a year, they still have not taken Qihang City.

This sounds a bit unbelievable, but it is actually normal. The main reason is that the defense of Qihang City is too strong.

If it were a siege, it would be much easier than it is now, but Qihang City is facing the sea and has a huge navy escort. Supplies can be obtained from the territory of the Avarus Demon Kingdom that has not yet fallen. It was decided from the beginning that it would inevitably turn into a protracted war.

However, the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom was not without achievements. In the past six months, they successfully broke through two city walls and cleared out the sturdy fortresses around Qihang City.

Now all they have to face is the largest and strongest city wall. Qihang City has no room for error. As long as this wall is breached, the fall of the city is only a matter of time.

According to the current progress, we will be able to attack Qihang City in three months at the latest, and it will be just around the corner to completely remove this thorn.

By then, the entire northern territory of the Avarus Demon Kingdom would be taken by the Subia Demon Kingdom. In this cake contest formed by the four-nation coalition, at least one-third of the territory would be captured.

In order to get a piece of this big cake, the Subia Demon Kingdom also made great efforts. Large amounts of supplies and troops were continuously transported from the rear, increasing the number of troops from the initial siege of 50,000 to 120,000.

When it was time to make a fire and cook, the bonfires were connected like stars, and the smoke covered the sky above the military camp like clouds, which showed how huge the scene was.

However, the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom has made very little movement in the past half month and has not continued to maintain a high-intensity siege, which has given Qihang City time to repair the damaged city walls.

It’s not that the commander was slack, but that the conditions did not allow it.

The Subia Demon Kingdom is located in the south of the Avarus Demon Kingdom, and the climate is relatively warmer. In the north, winter comes much earlier than in the south.

In the impression of the people of the Subia Demon Kingdom, it would not snow until at least December, but near the Spine of the World Mountains, it was already snowing heavily in November.

A large number of soldiers who lacked winter equipment had to huddle in tents to keep warm, and the insufficient number of cotton clothes made it difficult for the army to launch a truly effective attack.

As the commander of an army, the old general known as the Tiger of the Kingdom had thought about this problem. He had submitted a report on the need for winter cotton-padded clothes four months ago, but the number of cotton-padded clothes delivered was far from enough for the soldiers to use.

He knew that this must be the result of the ministers in the palace arguing with each other. They all hoped to end the war quickly and consolidate the occupied land. They kept sending troops to urge him to remove the nail of Qihang City.

But these nobles who had never held a sword obviously had no idea what war was all about.

The noble lords only knew how to recruit soldiers and send them over without considering the actual situation at all.

Two months ago, the Tiger of the Kingdom submitted another report requesting that winter supplies be provided as soon as possible. As a result, the cotton clothes were still not delivered, and they said that the cotton production was insufficient.

The Subia Demon Kingdom did not produce much cotton, but several months was enough to purchase the necessary supplies from other Demon Kingdoms, so they wasted all the time.

The Tiger of the Kingdom had no other choice. He couldn't just drive the trembling soldiers to attack the city, right?

This is simply a disregard for human life, and if things go wrong it may even lead to a mutiny.

So, for the sake of safety, the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom will remain on hold for the time being. Either the supplies will be delivered to me, or we will have to wait until spring comes before we can continue the siege.

That night, there were sporadic snowflakes in the sky, but the wind was very strong, and the tent was whistling in the strong wind.

The Tiger of the Kingdom and his staff sat in the central army tent, studying the sand table, looking for an easier way to attack Qihang City. Although he used tough words in the report, he was not really giving up, and he did not miss any of the work that needed to be done.

"The Tandron Demon Kingdom Navy has completely retreated to the port and won't come out. We can't pin our hopes on them."

"No one can tell what happened in the Leon territory. Intelligence indicates that Princess Viola's cousin, Olde, frequently visited the Leon territory. It may be her magic that defeated the Tandron Demon Kingdom Navy."

"Negotiations with the Tandron Demon Kingdom were not going well. They refused our request for siege weapons."

"Our cannons are powerless against the last enchanted wall of Qihang City. In the attack launched half a month ago, we also suffered heavy losses in our siege equipment. We need time to rebuild and replenish them."

"Princess Viola has been sending out scouts frequently recently. It seems to be related to Lord Fran of Half Moon Castle. I guess there may be some big moves."

"Princess Viola only has 2,000 troops. Including the soldiers from Half Moon Castle, the total force is less than 7,000. They pose almost no threat to us."

"We have sent people to conduct a powerful reconnaissance, but Princess Viola has been very restrained, and we have not been able to figure out the specific deployment of personnel."

"There are rumors that a dragon has appeared in the territory of Leon. We think it may be related to Princess Viola's cousin, Alde."

"It's unlikely that a real dragon would come to such a barren land, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they are half-dragons. If their number reaches double digits, they may cause interference to our army."

"Even if it is a real dragon, we are already prepared to respond. No matter what Princess Viola does, the probability of her posing a threat to our army is still very low."

As the Tiger of the Kingdom listened to the conversation among his staff, his eyes caught a glimpse of the World Spine Mountains on one side of the sand table.

"Has anyone scouted the mountains?"

"This one……"

The staff looked at each other, and then someone said:
"The Spine of the World is too steep. We have asked the locals and sent out a large number of reconnaissance teams to conduct on-site inspections. It is indeed impossible to climb the mountain."

"It would be impossible for Princess Viola in the north to launch a surprise attack from the Spine of the World Mountains. Even if there is a road to the north, there is no way to go down the mountain in the south, unless everyone can fly."

"Even considering the rumors of dragons appearing in Leon's territory, they still don't have the ability to launch a surprise attack. Their transport capacity is too low, and our air defense preparations are already complete."

Overall, Princess Viola's actions were noticed by the Subia Demon Kingdom Army, but they did not think they were a threat.

After all, there are too few soldiers, and the routes through which they can deploy are fixed, so they can only take the blocked canyon road. As long as the Subia Demon Kingdom army deploys scouts nearby, no matter what Viola wants to do, it will be discovered in advance.

With a force of a few thousand against one hundred and twenty thousand, they would be badly beaten even in a night attack. Moreover, after half a year of confrontation outside Qihang City, the Subia Demon Kingdom's army had turned the military camp into a simple fortress, which could not be easily rushed in by a few thousand people.

The Tiger of the Kingdom also knew that what the staff said was logical and that he had indeed not missed anything, but for some reason he always felt uneasy.

Just at this moment, two scouts rushed into the central military tent one after another.

"Report! The soldiers from Qihang City are launching an attack at night and will make contact with our army in about twenty minutes!"

"The scouts sent a message that Princess Viola led her army through the canyon road and is heading in the direction of our army. The total number of cavalrymen is about 500!"

Sure enough, something happened.
