Chapter 315: Open City

To gods, undead creatures are not a threat at all.

Any god, even an evil god, can purify the undead in an instant as long as he wishes. Even the god himself may not be aware of this purification. Just getting close is enough.

No matter how powerful a lich is, it still cannot escape the category of undead creatures.

The siege near the Lookout Fortress has basically ended. Many soldiers' attention is focused on the sky. When they see the fist that appears out of thin air smash the lich to pieces, the soldiers burst into warm cheers.

Compared to other gods, the Demon King interferes in the mortal world very frequently. Because of this, the distance between believers and gods is greatly shortened, making them understand that the gods they worship are always paying attention to them, rather than simply observing them.

Li Chengxi pulled his hand away from the screen and shook it. The touch of the lich was a bit like a biscuit, but he died, and his hands were covered with powder, which was a bit disgusting.

He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came back, the soldiers had already started cleaning the battlefield.

Except for the fact that a lich suddenly jumped out and Li Chengxi had to intervene, Li Chengxi just watched the entire siege.

Viola and the others are capable of fighting and do not need Li Chengxi to help every time. This is actually good news. After all, the consumption of faith value is a bit intense. In order to ensure sufficient reserves in the future, Li Chengxi decided not to intervene directly as much as possible.

When Viola and her friends were formulating their counterattack plan, they did not take the assistance of the Demon King into account, because Viola felt that it was extremely blasphemous to always ask for assistance from the gods.

Although Li Chengxi didn't actually care.

After checking the time on the computer screen, Li Chengxi felt that there was nothing to do, so he stretched and went back to his room to sleep. Recently, Viola had always been active at night, which made Li Chengxi a little sleep-deprived.

A big victory greatly boosted morale, and even more encouraging was the successive victories.

The successful capture of the Fortress of the Lookout is actually more significant than defeating the 12-strong Subia Demon Kingdom army that surrounded Sailing City.

Taking over this place is equivalent to cutting off the supply line of the Subia Demon Kingdom. It will also lock the surrounding villages and towns like a nail, echoing with the Half Moon Fort from a distance, and can block off a large area. Once there is any disturbance, we will know it in advance.

But this was just the beginning. After capturing the fortress, the Avarus Demon Kingdom army only rested for one night, leaving the seriously wounded and two thousand soldiers to guard the fortress, and sent people to send messages to Qihang City and Half Moon Fort in the rear, and then set off again.

Judging from their route, they seemed to be chasing the previous defeated army, making the Subia Demon Kingdom army that escaped from the fortress run faster. Wounded people and lost personal belongings were often seen on the road.

But Viola really had no intention of catching up and making dumplings of the defeated army. They deliberately took action overnight, which was a bit like a driver whipping his donkey, telling you clearly that if you run slowly, you will become my prisoner.

According to the scouts, some people in the defeated army had secretly taken off their uniforms and fled. The effect of the psychological warfare was better than expected.

But what will happen next will not be so easy. The next target is the most important and once strongest fortress of the Avarus Demon Kingdom, Kaimen City.

Viola and her companions were marching in the valley, but their speed was far from fast. This was to conserve their physical strength. After all, the closer they were to the Kaimen City, the more likely they would be ambushed along the way.

It took them nearly ten days of marching. Only when the follow-up supplies from Qihang City arrived did they finally see the shadow of Kaimen City.

This huge city has a permanent population of over 60,000, and a floating population at least twice that.

It is octagonal in shape, with a huge city gate on each side. The city is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side.

The name "Gate City" comes from the fact that the city has eight huge gates that lead to all directions. To the south are the Subia Demon Kingdom and the Tandron Demon Kingdom, to the east is the capital core of the Avarus Demon Kingdom, to the north is the trade transit station of Qihang City, and the west faces the sea, which brings convenience to sea transportation.

Its geographical location is extremely important, equivalent to the crossroads connecting the three kingdoms, and the terrain is rugged and easy to defend. It is a strategic location that can be attacked or defended. To exaggerate, if it is captured, almost half of the territory of the Avarus Demon Kingdom will be in hand.

Due to its important geographical location, the defensive fortifications of Kaimen City are also of top priority. Not to mention anything else, the 30-meter-high enchanted city wall alone is enough to resist most enemies. There are military camps everywhere in the city, and the stockpiled supplies are enough for the defenders of Kaimen City to use for five years or even longer.

Since the founding of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, the capital has fallen four times, but the Kaimen City has never been captured once.

But now, this strongest fortress has become a shield for the enemy.

Viola and her friends chose to camp on a hillside. They could see the shadow of Kaimen City from afar. Upon observation, they found that the fortress was still intact and did not seem to have been affected much by the war.

This shows that the information provided by Kaimen City and Qihang City is the same, that they surrendered on their own without any resistance at all.

It is definitely impossible to enter through the weak area affected by the war. The 30-meter-high enchanted city wall and the various defensive facilities on the wall are enough to resist the attack of an army of more than people.

Viola and his men only have more than 20,000 troops, not to mention that the total force in Kaimen City, including the previously defeated troops, may have exceeded 100,000.

In this situation, any rash attack would result in a devastating blow.

But there is some good news, for example, the navy is already nearby.

When the Demon Kingdom of Avarus was breached, the navy did not surrender, but moved to the Sailing City military port.

There are now few fishing boats at the port of Kaimen City because the navy has blocked the sea route to the city.

So if Viola wants to attack the Kaimen City, there are three options before her.

One is to take the sea route, break through the port, enter the open city and engage in street fighting.

It is difficult to bring into play the advantage of numbers in street fighting, and coupled with the low morale of the defeated troops, there is little chance of winning if a real fight breaks out.

But by doing so, regardless of whether they could win or not, there would definitely be heavy casualties among the soldiers, and Viola did not have too many troops to waste.

The second method is continuous harassment and psychological warfare.

After all, the civilians in Kaimen City are still people from the Avarus Demon Kingdom. They have a higher sense of identity with Princess Viola and hope to drive away the invaders.

Conduct harassment operations to enhance the awareness of civilians in the city and force the defenders to come out to fight. In an encounter environment, you don't have to worry about the heavy walls of the Kaimen City.

Like the first method, it also has disadvantages.

Mobilizing civilians is likely to result in massive casualties, and there is a high possibility that the Subia Demon Kingdom will hide in the Kaimen City and not come out. Harassment operations will take a long time to show results, and what is lacking now is time.

Viola must capture the Kaimen City before the other three Demon Kingdom armies react, otherwise she will be in a dilemma.

So only the third option is left, and the first option can be used as an alternative.

As for the third option...

First, we have to send someone to sneak into the Kaimen City.
