Chapter 319 Resistance Organization
Open city, sewer——

The three of them followed the secret passage into the base of the resistance organization.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have imagined that there was a space as big as a military camp hidden underground in Kaimen City.

This base not only meets food and housing needs, it also provides alcohol and has a complete training ground that is large enough for hundreds of people.

But as the tiger man said, many of their members have been arrested in recent times, and there are only about one or two hundred people in the base now. If they are put into the Kaimen City with tens of thousands of defenders, they will not even be a waste of time.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed to learn that these were all the manpower available.

There is no problem in taking down Kaimen City with the help of insiders and outsiders, but you as the insider should also have some ability. With such a small number of people, you are not even qualified to seize the city gate in the chaos.

Having said that, now that I'm here, I have to at least interact with them, otherwise all my suffering will be in vain.

The leader of the resistance organization is a rare dhampir, who is said to have vampire blood.

Negative energy can cause harm to living things, while positive energy can heal them, but this is the opposite for dhampirs, who possess certain characteristics of undead creatures.

"Hello, we are very happy to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess's envoy. We apologize for the environmental issues here. For safety reasons, we can only meet here."

The dhampir welcomed the three of them, asked them to sit in the deepest room of the base, and finally introduced themselves:

"My name is Melanie. I used to work in the tax department of Kaimon City, but I was almost arrested for resisting the rule of the Subia Demon Kingdom. After that, I joined the resistance organization."

Many people in the resistance organization were once officials or public servants of Kaimen City. They are very eager for Viola to liberate Kaimen City, and they also want to return to their jobs.

After briefly introducing herself but hiding the true identities of Olde and Renia, Reina, who was in charge of the negotiation, asked:
"I want to know if you have any way to open the city gate?"

It was Reina who asked the question, but Melanie asked back:
"For Your Highness, simply opening the city gate would have little effect, right?"

It really didn't have much effect. Even if the morale of the defenders was low, the army's number was several times that of Viola's. Even if the city gates were opened and street fighting began, the effect would be almost the same as relying on the navy to blast open the port's sluice gates and enter. Not to mention whether they could win, the loss of personnel alone was hard to accept.

"What do you suggest?"

Melanie was waiting for Lena to ask that.

She immediately swept all the bottles and jars on the table to the floor, took out a map full of marks and spread it out.

"I have received news that the generals and the city lord of the garrison will hold a banquet in the castle tonight. If we can eliminate them and Your Highness cooperates with the attack, the garrison without a commander will likely be in chaos."

The combat effectiveness of the army, a violent group, comes from discipline. Otherwise, they are just thugs on the street, or at most well-equipped thugs.

Taking out the command level would be a huge blow to the army. Coupled with the low morale caused by the previous rout, the possibility that they would abandon the city and flee is very high.

"Especially the city lord Sullivan, he must be eliminated."

When the news came that the capital of the Avarus Demon Kingdom had been breached and the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom was approaching, the city lord Sullivan surrendered without a fight and opened the door to lure the enemy in.

Otherwise, with the defense capabilities of Kaimen City, it would be impossible for the Subia Demon Kingdom Army to control this place in a short period of time.

Kaimen City does not belong to the territory of any feudal nobles. It is directly governed by the king, but it is a bit far from the capital, making remote control difficult.

Therefore, Kaimen City had a city lord directly appointed from the royal palace, and unlike other noble territories, the city lord here was changed every few years.

Not only the city lord, but also the soldiers guarding the city and the generals are rotated according to a cycle, which is the so-called "the camp remains permanent, but the soldiers come and go".

In most of the feudal lords, the lords were in charge of both military and political affairs, and were basically local tyrants.

The purpose of doing so is to prevent someone from becoming bigger in Kaimen City, which indirectly shows the importance of this place to the Avarus Demon Kingdom. Since it is not his territory at all, the city lord has no intention of defending Kaimen City to the end. He thinks that the Avarus Demon Kingdom is gone, and he has to think of a way to live the rest of his life.

Therefore, the city lord surrendered to the Subia Demon Kingdom on the condition that Kaimen City would be divided into his own territory.

He managed to stabilize the situation, but it caused hardship to lower-level officials.

A large number of dissatisfied officials were dismissed, and even the number of soldiers in the army was greatly reduced. Unfortunately, they had no other source of livelihood, so naturally they could only go underground and form a resistance organization.

To put it bluntly, the city lord was too greedy and didn't leave any food for the people below. What are you waiting for if it's not a rebellion?

For all the members of the resistance organization, the arrival of Princess Viola was like timely rain, and they had been looking forward to the liberation of Kaimen City for a long time.

"It is indeed a rare opportunity to wipe out the garrison's command in one fell swoop, but it's not that easy to get in, right?"

It's easy to imagine that a banquet of this level must have extremely strict security, and it's impossible to sneak in by relying on methods such as invisibility. On the contrary, the fluctuations of magical power caused by using magic will arouse suspicion.

It is true that Reina is a local, but she has never been to the castle where the lord lives, and she doesn't even know the terrain.

Melanie explained:

"We have a reliable informant who has infiltrated the maid team in the castle. She can help lead a few people in. She is the only one who knows the defense deployment in the castle and the specific time. We can discuss countermeasures based on this intelligence."

"Where is she?"

"That's the problem."

Melanie said helplessly:

"My informant loves gambling very much. I have warned her many times, but she just can't change her gambling habit. As a result, she was taken away by her creditors not long ago."

This is such a coincidence. Can't you collect the debt later?

"Who is the creditor? Can you redeem him?"

Lena said:
"I have some connections in the open city, and the guys who make a living on the street should give me some face."

Hearing her say this, Melanie was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the envoy sent by the princess actually had a relationship with someone in the gray area.

"I only know that they call themselves the Mud Monster Gang and they also have a base in this sewer. The people we sent to negotiate with them came back and said they wanted a ransom of 1,000 gold coins. We simply can't afford that much money."

This is really a huge request. One thousand gold coins are enough to make a golden man.

"The Mud Monster Gang... This is not easy to deal with. Not only do I have no friendship with them, I even have some grudges against them."

When Reina was making a living in Kaimen City, she once became enemies with the Mud Monster Gang because of a smuggling business. Although many years have passed, as long as the old members of the other gang are still alive, they should all know her.

By then, not to mention a thousand gold coins to redeem the person, the price may even be raised.

"Where is their base?"

At this time, Alde, who had been listening, interrupted.

"I think we could go talk to them."

Of course, she didn't mean just talking...
