Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 454: Strengthening

Looking back at Kaimen City, the Tandelon Demon Kingdom Army that has appeared in the reconnaissance radius is not the defeated army of the Subia Demon Kingdom Army. During the few months that Viola was lurking in the Leon territory, they kept attacking cities and territories. Their morale was high and they were well-equipped. All of their troops were professional soldiers, with almost no conscripts. Although their number was not large, they were a truly strong army.

In addition to their hard power, they also have clear minds.

Kaimen City is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. The transportation and terrain have created this crossroads-like city.

The army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom did not approach, but instead set up camp outside the valley and began to build a simple defense line, as if it was planning to fight a protracted war.

They did not underestimate Viola and knew not to attack rashly. This strategic emphasis was the exact opposite of the Subia Demon Kingdom's army's initial contempt.

It is obvious that the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom is waiting for the opportunity and also waiting for reinforcements from other demon kingdoms.

Logically speaking, they should have eliminated the Tandelon Demon Kingdom army that arrived first, but Viola did not dare to attack rashly. The number of Tandelon Demon Kingdom army was small only relatively speaking. If compared with Viola's army, the number was still about three times that of her.

A whole day passed without any real fighting between the two sides. At this time, the safety of scouts in groups of a few people could no longer be guaranteed. Basically, they were powerful reconnaissance teams composed of dozens or hundreds of cavalrymen, and occasionally some small-scale battles would break out.

This battle is not destined to be easy, and both sides are now on high alert.

Just like that, we endured until the sun set and the cold moonlight rose from the east.

Inside the army camp of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, the soldiers who had been on the march continuously were resting. Of course, there were also troops on night sentry duty that could be mobilized at any time to prevent Viola from sending people to launch a sneak attack.

"Report! Traces of enemy cavalry were found two kilometers away from our army!"

The messenger's report made the general in charge of the night watch feel depressed. As expected, they had arrived.

Although a city defense battle can take advantage of city walls and defensive offensives to use far fewer soldiers to resist an army far larger than its own, in fact, defending a city itself is a disadvantage.

As long as there are enough troops and supplies, the besieging party can launch countless attacks. No matter how many times they fail, as long as there is one success, it will be enough.

But the defenders can win countless times, but if they fail once, there will be no more.

This is a question of tolerance.

Therefore, compared with fixed income, taking the opportunity to go out and defeat the enemy's manpower is a necessary measure. Even if the killing effect is not obvious, it can disrupt the enemy's morale.

Although it is not in line with the spirit of chivalry, it is indeed one of the few options for the smaller party.

The army of the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon had anticipated a night attack, and immediately mobilized the reserve forces upon receiving the news. A group of more than a thousand cavalrymen left the barracks and headed straight for the place where the enemy's traces were found.

Everyone thought there would be a fierce night battle, but when they arrived at the scene, only a string of horseshoe prints were left.

From a distance, you can see the cavalry holding Princess Viola's flag retreating, and they don't forget to shoot a few arrows to show their respect.

But those arrows could not reach the arriving army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom, and almost all of them missed and hit the ground.

It felt like they had discovered that the army of the Demon Kingdom of Tandron was coming to capture them, so Viola's cavalry retreated in fear.

What the hell?

Is the morale of Princess Viola's army so low?
It was the middle of the night, and although the moonlight was bright, it would severely limit the field of vision. In this situation, it was difficult to judge the specific number of enemies and our side. Generally, they would fight and then run away without even seeing each other. It felt like the morale was low, and it was enough to just shoot a few arrows to be worthy of the salary.

The enemy's sudden escape left the generals of the Tandron Demon Kingdom at a loss. How could an army that didn't even dare to fight the enemy defeat the Subia Demon Kingdom? Or...

Is this a strategy to lure the enemy deeper?
As they were thinking about all this, suddenly, everyone heard a loud noise of gongs and drums, accompanied by lights like fireworks appearing in the night.

The direction is exactly opposite to the current one, located on the right side of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom Army camp.

Even if it is really a lure away from the mountain, the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom is not afraid. After all, they are not bringing out all the reserve troops at once, and there are still people watching in the barracks.

However, when the general who was out led his team back and arrived near the source of the sound, they could only see a string of horse hoof prints and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning gunpowder. Apart from that, they caught nothing.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The general already had a bad premonition at this time.

After searching the area and confirming that no enemy troops were approaching, the general led his troops back to the camp. As soon as he sat down in the tent, he saw the messenger running in again:

"Report! Enemy traces were found three kilometers away from our army. The number is unknown."

There was no other way. The general who had just returned immediately ordered his men to mount their horses again, but the result was the same as the previous two times, and they didn't catch any hair at all.

What the hell is Princess Viola doing?

The general, who was already a little annoyed, felt that this matter might not be over yet.

As expected, as soon as he sat down, he heard a lot of clanging outside the military camp. The sound of drums and trumpets was like a concert, which made the water in the cup ripple slightly.

However, just like the previous times, by the time they led their men out, Viola's army had already disappeared.

"Expand the alert area! Don't let the enemy take advantage of the opportunity!"

The order is indeed correct, but how effective is its execution...

Less than an hour after the situation calmed down, drums and firecrackers started to sound outside the military camp again. The general, whose head had just touched the pillow, was yelling in anger, but you had no choice but to lead your troops to attack again.

Needless to say, the result was the same as the previous times, nothing was encountered. As soon as Viola's army saw the soldiers from the Tandron Demon Kingdom coming out, they ran away. They ran so fast that they disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

And every time the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom left, they would come back again, and no one could stand this repeated tragedies.

Don't forget, this army has marched all the way here, and they are already exhausted. Now they are not allowed to sleep well in the middle of the night. Who can bear this?

The strategy of tiring out the enemy is a simple, effective and handy tactic.

In this world, wars are actually fought with great martial ethics. For example, if the disadvantaged party proposes a duel between knights, the other party will most likely agree to show off their bravery.

However, war is all about deception. Viola and her knights, whose doors to a new world had been opened by Sun Tzu's Art of War, had long discovered that they had been too rigid in the past.

In a life-and-death battle, one should use every possible means. To be more precise, the previous ways of fighting were too childish.

Therefore, this time the army of the Demon Kingdom of Tandron was strengthened.
