Chapter 106: Sailing City
Chapter 106: Sailing City
The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.
May 7, noon.
On the southern foot of the World Spine Mountains, close to the sea, there is a prosperous city. It is the largest logistics distribution center in the entire North. One-third of the goods shipped from the south to the north must pass through here.
This is Qihang City.
When this city was first built, it was actually just a port for storing supplies. When the Demon Kingdom of Avarus was first founded, it wanted to explore the end of the world. The Territory of Leon and the City of Sailing were both established during this period.
But unlike the Leon territory which is still a remote and poor place, Sailing City, which was originally just a port for exploration ships, has now become an important city with the development of commerce. Later, in order to deal with the navy of the Dudlong Demon Kingdom, the Avarus Demon Kingdom stationed all its fleets in the North Sea near Sailing City.
Since there were troops stationed there, the original commercial city was quickly fortified, which was an important reason why it was able to hold out for so long in the siege.
Since it was originally a transportation hub, Qihang City was extremely well-stocked with supplies. Even if transportation was completely cut off, the supplies in the city would be enough to last for two to three years. Moreover, with the navy, transportation at sea remained unimpeded, and a steady stream of supplies were transported to Qihang City from various cities that were still resisting.
When the civilians first heard that the capital had been captured by the coalition forces of four nations, they were very panicked, especially after hearing about the tragic scene after the capital was looted. They were afraid that Qihang City would suffer the same fate.
But after the attacks of the army outside the city were blocked time and time again, the civilians became calm and are now even accustomed to the frequent alarms coming from the city walls.
They think that our Qihang City is impregnable and no matter how many people come, it will be useless.
Of course, ordinary people can be optimistic, but real leaders cannot be blindly optimistic. At the very least, they are clear that this situation cannot last forever.
In the central castle, a middle-aged man in his forties supported his head with his hands, sitting in the main seat listlessly listening to the reports of his subordinates.
He is Wendy's father and the current lord of Qihang City, Walter.
"Last night, the enemy launched four exploratory attacks outside the city, but they were all repelled. Our scouts noticed that there were some abnormalities in the movement of supplies in their rear, and we speculated that they were preparing for the next large-scale attack."
"The opponent is the Tiger of the Subia Demon Kingdom. Let the scouts continue to expand the search area. He can't just randomly launch an attack without a purpose."
Wendy's grandfather, Walter's father, is known as the Lion General. He has fought against the Kingdom Tiger of the Subia Demon Kingdom many times without a clear winner. Although he is old, he should never be taken lightly.
"You are so old, but you are out leading troops instead of staying at home to enjoy your retirement. Aren't you afraid of dying out there and not being able to return home?"
After composing a few lines about the Tiger of the Kingdom, Walter signaled his men to continue.
"The Tandron Demon Kingdom Navy has confirmed its retreat. According to the intelligence sent back by spies and reconnaissance ships, they have returned to the country."
"Let the navy continue to closely monitor their secret weapons, especially their secret weapons. Although the possibility of cooperating with the Kingdom Tiger is small, there is no guarantee that they will move things from the ship to the shore for siege."
The Subia Demon Kingdom and the Tandron Demon Kingdom are old enemies, but they have temporarily united for the sake of profit, and their core secrets cannot be shared.
But we have to guard against it.
The civil servant next to Walter interrupted at this time:
"Lord City Lord, do you want to take a rest and take the medicine first?"
"Officer Lux, it's time for a regular meeting."
The officer who was reporting expressed his dissatisfaction, but the Lux internal affairs officer pretended not to hear it.
"Okay, give me the medicine."
Internal Affairs Officer Lux took out a crystal clear bottle, and Walter drank the potion in it. His mental state, which had just been a little depressed, immediately improved.
"Go on."
"Yes!"
Although the officer felt that it was not good to rely on drugs to maintain energy, Walter did not listen after several persuasions, and his subordinates could not talk endlessly. "The reason why the Tandron Demon Kingdom Navy retreated is speculated to be something that happened in the Leon territory. According to the messenger sent by Princess Viola, the Demon King God personally took action and annihilated the fleet before it landed. Only three ships escaped by chance."
"The Devil God..."
Walter has reservations about the Demon King God that the royal family firmly believes in.
The Tolan family is loyal to the royal family, not to any demon god.
He believed that banning all beliefs in gods in the kingdom was a good thing. After all, he had seen many social problems caused by religious disputes.
But this demon god seems to have really appeared, and the situation becomes a little complicated.
"Does the Lord of the City believe that the Demon King God does not exist?"
"After all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I think there might be a powerful magician who has received favors from the royal family who is secretly helping. He just uses the name of the Demon King to make it easier for Princess Viola to accept."
Walter's idea is actually very logical. The existence of the Demon God has long been considered a legend without any basis. Although it is well-known, legends are just legends and do not exist.
Just like you read Journey to the West every day and wish you could recite it by heart, but if one day you heard that Sun Wukong was stopped by the traffic police on the Second Ring Road for speeding while driving his somersault cloud, you would also think it was nonsense...
"But His Royal Highness seems to be convinced."
"Wendy's recent letter also praised the Demon King God. I didn't expect that my daughter, who always shouts that facts speak louder than words, would be obsessed with theology."
Walter shook his head:
"Whether the Demon King God really exists or not is not important. Since Princess Viola believes that he exists, there is no need to deny it. In this situation, it would be a good thing if a religion that can stabilize people's hearts emerges."
He waved to another clerk who was in charge of recording:
"Please write a reply letter for me. Tell them that I understand Her Royal Highness's strategic intentions, but I still hope that Her Highness can show up in Sailing City to boost morale. Be careful with your words so as not to make people feel uncomfortable."
No matter what, the Thor family is loyal to the royal family of Avarus and will never surrender even if the country encounters major changes.
But not everyone is so loyal, and rumors have begun to spread that the royal family has all died, so it is better to open the city and surrender.
If Viola could show up, it would naturally dispel the rumors and greatly boost morale.
"Your Highness's visit to Qihang City is top secret and must not be leaked. Do you understand?"
As expected of the son of General Lion, although his tone was calm, his glance made everyone's heart tighten.
But of course they didn't know that these conversations were seen very clearly by an outsider.
"Just think of it as giving Viola something to do. I guess you won't refuse, right?"
Outside the screen, Li Chengxi, who watched the entire conversation, thought it was okay.
The Leon territory is still under construction, and there are indeed a lot of written documents that need to be processed, but Viola is not the only one who can do it.
The princess came to Qihang City not only to inspire the morale of the local military and civilians, but also to encourage all the generals and soldiers who were still resisting as long as the news of her appearance spread.
Having said that, Li Chengxi had no intention of interfering. Whether or not to come to Qihang City depended on Viola's own thoughts.
Turning around, he glanced at Yang Yiyi on the old computer. The screen read 'Iron Head Kung Fu, being taught', with two hours left on the countdown.
Li Chengxi decided to think about the lunch issue first.
