Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 323 Chaos Begins

The lights were just coming on, and the long table in the brightly lit banquet hall was already full of people, including noble officials in gorgeous formal attire and soldiers in armor.

The table was already filled with exquisite dishes, and the butler, who had served the city lord for nearly twenty years, brought his servants to fill the glasses of red wine for all the guests one by one.

The city lord Gregor maintained a very funny smile. He was fat and at first glance looked a bit like Maitreya Buddha with his plump and gentle appearance. But don't be fooled by his expression, Gregor was very shrewd, which was why he was appointed by the Avarus royal family to be the city lord of Kaimen City.

Seeing that everyone had wine, the city lord stood up and raised his glass and said:

"Thank you all for coming. Although there are some minor problems outside the city, I believe we can solve them. Let's enjoy ourselves tonight."

The first to respond were the civil officials and nobles. The general of the Subia Demon Kingdom army was a little hesitant, but he also raised his glass and took a sip with the city lord.

Only those who have personally experienced the doomsday scene could not laugh. These generals and soldiers were like them. Every time in the dead of night, they would always hear the roar of motors, the screams of soldiers, and the sound of human tissue being torn.

Nightmares always involve raining flames, exploding frogs, purple poisonous rain, and colleagues wailing and falling to the ground amid these horrible phenomena.

Kaimen City is the strongest fortress nearby, but this did not bring any sense of security to the officers who retreated from outside Qihang City. Although they did not know what method Princess Viola used, they instinctively felt that it was not simple magic.

The city lord's words seemed to be somewhat evasive.

But then again, does the city lord really not know?

He knew that anyone with sufficient vision could see the tragic scene of the defeated army entering the city. The morale was at an unprecedented low, and they must have experienced a huge defeat.

He said this on the one hand to boost the confidence of these officers, and on the other hand, perhaps also for self-consolation.

After all, if the Subia Demon Kingdom army cannot defeat them, they can retreat back to their own country. But what about the city lord Grigor? Even if he can run, where can he escape to?

The Subia Demon Kingdom did not touch him because the huge network of relationships that Gregor maintained in Kaimen City helped the Subia Demon Kingdom maintain the stability of this important city. What use would he be if he left here?

The Avarus royal family is very good to their own people. Their greed is only directed at their enemies, and they are very generous to their own people.

But the Avarus royal family is also extremely harsh towards traitors, and killing your entire family is a basic operation. They allow mistakes and incompetence, but not betrayal.

It is conceivable that once Princess Viola entered the city, the city lord might not be in good health.

Therefore, the city lord urgently needs the Subia Demon Kingdom's army to stand up and keep Viola out of the city. As long as they can delay until the coalition forces of the other three countries arrive, Viola will be trapped and unable to escape.

On this point, the city lord is still very confident. After all, Kaimen City has never been captured. As long as the Subia Demon Kingdom army is stronger, it will be fine.

After a glass of aperitif, the city lord's smiling eyes swept across everyone's faces.

The noble officials were merely a little uneasy. They were also worried that Princess Viola would enter the Kaimen City, but they thought it was unlikely.

The officers of the Subia Demon Kingdom's army seemed worried and wanted to leave at any time. They felt that they came here just to give face to the city lord.

I don't know how the people in the Subia Demon Kingdom view this disastrous defeat. If they choose to retreat back to their country, the city lord's position will be in trouble.

So he was about to say a few more words when he saw this, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his stomach.

"How is this going?"

Looking at the butler, the latter also looked panic-stricken.

Gregor was already sweating profusely from the pain, and the guests at the same long table were all in the same pain, the effects took effect at almost the same time.

"It's poisonous, get the antidote!"

This is a kind of magic potion antidote that can neutralize most toxins. Although high-ranking demons are not afraid of toxins, most powerful nobles will prepare some at home. The butler was about to turn around when he suddenly fell to his knees and even spit out blood on the spot. In the blink of an eye, a living person lost his voice.

The ordinary demons at the table vomited blood and died suddenly. Some high-level demons could still hold on, but the severe pain made them almost unable to speak.

Putting the poison in the wine is the best option. After all, not everyone will eat the same dish, and the city lord will definitely raise his glass during the aperitif. Even guests who don't like drinking will take a sip for the city lord's sake.

One bite is enough.

The full name of Talona is the goddess of poison and disease, and her nickname is the goddess of plague. She is a real expert in playing with poison. This kind of poison cannot be detected, and it can even be decided whether to activate it through spells.

Once it takes effect, it will take away life within seconds, and even high-ranking demons with resistance to the poison are now unable to move.

The butler died because he was in charge of testing for toxins and he drank alcohol before that.

The servants guarding the banquet hall were startled and hurriedly went to get the antidote. The soldiers in charge of security also rushed in, and their scalps went numb when they saw the situation on the scene.

No matter who poisoned her, this matter is bound to become a big deal.

"There's a fire! Come put it out!"

Almost at the same time, shouts were heard outside the castle, and at the same time, fire that illuminated the sky appeared on the glass windows.

Someone had set the garden below the castle on fire. It was winter and most of the plants were dormant. The dry branches were very flammable, and a lot of oil was poured on it, so the flames jumped up immediately.

The soldiers guarding the castle were carrying buckets of water and pouring it on the fire. It was obvious that they had no common sense in putting out fires, and pouring water on oil fire would only cause disaster.

The flames grew higher and higher and it took almost two or three minutes to put out.

At this time, the servants had hurriedly brought the antidote and fed it to the city lord and the poisoned guests. The pain was greatly relieved, but it still stubbornly took effect in the body. The city lord felt that his fingers and toes were numb.

However, his brain was not affected and he immediately thought of a question.

Poisoning can be said to be for assassination, so why light a fire?
That's a signal!

The obese city lord quickly tried to stand up, but the poison had not yet completely dissipated, and he almost knocked over the table.

"Quick! Send someone to notify the city wall, the enemy is about to attack the city!"

He was smart enough to realize this, but it was too late.

From outside the open door came the noise of clanging and the screams of soldiers, and the sound seemed to be getting closer.

"Report! Someone is coming up! It's... it's three maids!"

This soldier is a little crazy. He just reported that there were three maids. Who would understand?

"Take us into the secret passage, it's not safe here!"

The city lord didn't have time to care about the soldiers' speech problems, and quickly asked them to help all the survivors out.

When passing by the window, the city lord immediately saw that fires were burning everywhere in the Kaimen City that he was proud of, and the flames lit up the night sky like huge torches.

After receiving the signal, Melanie and the others also started to act.
