Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 322 Poisoning
"Your Highness, it's time for lunch. Please take a rest."

Zora walked into the tent with a simple lunch and reminded Viola, who was standing in front of the sand table, that it was time to rest.

Originally, the task of infiltrating the Kaimen City should be entrusted to Zora, but Zora has the job of commanding the Royal Guards and cannot leave casually.

"Well, I see."

Viola didn't force herself too much and found a seat nearby.

"I wonder how Alday and the others are doing."

"Although Miss Alde and Renia are not very reassuring, Reina was born in Kaimen City and is most familiar with the local topography. I believe there will be good news soon."

Viola and Wendy had spent the whole morning formulating a siege plan for the worst-case scenario. The navy from Sailing City might be eager to make a contribution, and they sent several magical communications, saying that we are ready to go at any time, and as long as His Highness opens the mouth, we will immediately start bombarding the city.

But as mentioned before, what Viola wants is a complete open city, especially the defense facilities cannot be damaged, otherwise it will be difficult to be at a disadvantage in the many wars that will come later.

After all, her number of soldiers was limited, so she could only rely on defensive facilities to hold on.

Viola picked up the porridge made of crushed compressed biscuits and took two bites before Wendy walked into the tent excitedly.

It looks like good news.

"Auerdai just sent a message saying that they have found an opportunity to annihilate the defending general and the city lord in one fell swoop."

When Viola heard this, she was no longer hungry. She quickly put down the bowl and said:

"When?"

"We can act tonight while the defenders' attention is diverted."

"Call Hill over immediately. We need her troops to open the city gates. Also, call Greta and have her arrange for the soldiers' supplies. It looks like we have to hurry and change the battle plan."

Zora looked at the forgotten porridge. It might be a long time before Viola would remember its existence.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The sun sets below the sea in the west along its eternal trajectory, while the moonlight belonging to the moon goddess Suren rises little by little from the east, announcing that the land has entered night time.

Although it was already night, the defenses of Kaimen City were tighter than during the day. There were more soldiers guarding the city walls, and even a curfew was imposed throughout the city, prohibiting civilians from appearing on the streets.

At night, a huge bonfire was lit on the walls of Kaimen City, and a huge rotating glass mirror was erected behind the bonfire.

This stuff isn't cheap; large pieces of glass are difficult to manufacture, and the price of each mirror is enough to bankrupt a wealthy family.

These mirrors reflected the firelight and were turned by the soldiers, sweeping over every corner outside the city like searchlights. Anyone who tried to approach would be discovered.

The crossbows, catapults, and volley crossbows on the city walls that can fire multiple arrows at a time are also in a state of readiness, ready to deal with possible attacks at any time.

But unlike the tense atmosphere on the city walls, the only castle in the city center was brightly lit and even had a bit of luxurious atmosphere.

Carriages came from all corners of the city, and people dressed in luxurious clothes came to attend the banquet.

There was constant artillery fire at the front line, and there was also constant artillery fire in the rear.

This may seem very lazy, but it is not entirely arrogant.

After all, Kaimen City has never been breached since its establishment. If the city lord had not opened the gate and surrendered a few months ago, the Subia Demon Kingdom would not have been able to take it down in a short period of time. It would most likely wait until the supplies in the city were completely exhausted before surrendering, which would take at least several years.

The main purpose of the city lord hosting this banquet was actually to curry favor.

The defeated troops retreating from Qihang City ran all the way back to Kaimen City, all of them were covered in dust and dirt, and there was no morale left from both the soldiers and the generals.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to provide timely assistance, the city lord wanted to get to know more military officials in the Subia Demon Kingdom so as to consolidate his position after surrendering.

Of course, he had heard that it was Princess Viola who defeated the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom. He held the banquet to test their bottom line and tell them that they must defend my Kaimen City. If they lose it, they will never be able to take it back. There were so many distinguished guests that the servants in the castle were almost overwhelmed. The corridors were filled with their hurried figures.

In such a chaotic environment, it is not a problem for a few people to sneak in.

Reina changed into a maid outfit, brought the empty plate back with impeccable manners, and placed it next to the maid who was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Then, when no one was noticing, she slipped into the servant's room not far from the kitchen.

Since the servants in the castle are all very busy, no one will come here for the time being, so it is a safe place to stay.

Olde and Renia, who also changed into maid outfits and sneaked in but did not do any work, were waiting here.

Seeing Reina come in, Alde immediately asked:
"how is the situation?"

"Security is very tight. Even if you are a maid, you cannot enter the venue."

Reina opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and drew a sketch on it.

"Maids can only go to the second floor. After putting down the food, someone will be responsible for checking whether it is poisonous. Only then will others deliver it to the banquet hall on the third floor. I carefully observed the structure. Whether it is from the outside or from the inside of the castle, it is impossible to pass through silently."

Renia just glanced at the sketch and then continued to gnaw on the roasted leg of lamb. This kind of meticulous work of stealth operations did not suit her well. Anyway, she could just be called when a fight was needed.

"Invisibility and transformation..."

"We can't get through either. The guards are holding scrying wands, and we will be discovered. In addition, the defense array against transfiguration creatures in the castle is still in operation. I dare not get too close, but I noticed that there are many people guarding it."

As long as there was a chance to get Olde and Reina close to the banquet hall, they would be able to catch the group of high-ranking officials who were eating and drinking.

But the problem now is that we can't get close. Once we are exposed too early, the other party will definitely run away. It will be troublesome to find another opportunity to catch them in one fell swoop at that time.

Viola is still waiting for their signal. If the action here is successful, the siege outside will begin, and Melanie's resistance organization will also start to act simultaneously.

Time waits for no one, they need more practical and reliable methods.

"Why think so much? Can't I just go up and breathe out the dragon's breath and solve it?"

Seeing that the two were scowling, Rhaena gave a completely brainless suggestion.

"There is a flying-forbidden barrier in Kaimen City. You can't fly at all."

"is it?"

Rhaena had not thought of this at all, and then she added:
"Then poison it. I've eaten poisonous plants before when I was extremely hungry, and it gave me diarrhea for several days."

"Ms. Rhaena, the poison has little effect on high-ranking demons. At most, they will only feel a slight paralysis."

"No, poisoning is a good option."

Olday suddenly said:

"I have a toxin here that should be effective against high-level demons."

"Where did you find it?"

"This is the formula that the Lord gave me. He said it came from the Plague Goddess."

"."

If Reina remembered correctly, the Plague Goddess was hostile to the Demon God...
