Chapter 494: The War to Restore the Nation

Demon King Calendar, early May, 649.

Weather, cloudy.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The troops that had already assembled were arranged in neat square formations, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people brought a dull echo, like a giant beast pacing.

The soldiers' iron boots stepped on the farmland that had turned into scorched earth, and approached the Silver City step by step.

The Enwei Demon Kingdom army currently guarding the Silver City would certainly not turn a blind eye. There were large plains all around, and Viola's army was discovered as soon as it set out.

A large number of people hurried up the city wall, with crossbows strung and swords unsheathed, mixed with the drumbeats of military drums, and a murderous atmosphere arose spontaneously.

"My loyal and brave soldiers of the Avarus Demon Kingdom!"

Viola rode a horse and shuttled back and forth between the infantry square formations. Her voice was amplified by magic to ensure that everyone could hear it.

"A year ago, we fled our capital. I never doubted whether we could come back. The invaders will be destroyed and they will pay the price!"

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Viola continued to shout:

"No one can take away the honor of Avarus. We must fight. We must take back our homeland from the invaders, from these capitulationists, and from those cunning and ignorant pagans!"

"For Her Royal Highness!"

"For the Demon King!"

"Today is the day we take everything back! The previous kings are watching us! The Demon King is watching us! We are invincible!"

Drawing out the sword, Viola rode forward.

"Soldiers, follow me to attack!"

The soldiers shouted slogans such as 'Glory to the Demon King!' and 'Follow Her Royal Highness!', and tens of thousands of soldiers followed closely in square formations of different sizes.

They developed from walking fast at first to running fast, and the formation became a little chaotic.

At this time, a beam of light descended from the sky, and all the followers of the Demon King in the army seemed to hear the exciting military music, and seemed to see the angel of revenge with four wings of flames on his back walking with him.

And the defenders saw this scene.

For the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army, Viola's troops were all problems.

Although the morale seemed to be very high, since most of the soldiers came from the lords who surrendered to Viola, their affiliations were too mixed. It was very difficult to just break up and reorganize these people, let alone do any coordinated training.

The second is the weapons and armor. Since the heavy industrial zone in the central part is still in the hands of the Enzo Demon Kingdom, Viola's soldiers are basically just leather armor plus one or two weapons. To be honest, this level of armament is about the same as that of peasant soldiers.

The last disadvantage is the number of people.

The Enwei Demon Kingdom Army guarding the Silver City is as many as 70,000 to 80,000, and Viola's army is about the same when added together. There is no advantage in numbers, and the defenders have the advantages of city walls and defense facilities. In this case, it is actually very difficult to attack the city.

In fact, the Enwei Demon Kingdom did not intend to hold on forever. The four countries that had agreed to divide Avarus, the Subia Demon Kingdom stayed at home, and the Tandron Demon Kingdom had to deal with the rebellion of the Oswaya Demon Kingdom and the Laxuriya Demon Kingdom, which meant that the Enwei Demon Kingdom was left alone.

The defenders planned to wait until the friendly forces in the central occupied area retreated, and then they would leave the Silver City and return to their own territory.

And this would not take too much time, a month would be enough.

Viola was of course aware of this, but she still chose to attack instead of waiting for the invaders to hand over the city.

Regardless of what Viola thought, the defenders had to hold on here. Once the Silver City was recaptured by Viola, the friendly forces left in the central part of Avarus would be cut off from retreat. The Enwei Demon Kingdom would likely lose a large number of manpower and young people of appropriate age. They were not only soldiers, but also productivity. Without so many people, the days of the Enwei Demon Kingdom would not be easy.

Since Viola was at such a disadvantage, she still launched an attack even though she knew that she could take back the Silver City in just one month.

Then there was only one possibility, she was sure.

The defensive fortifications of the Silver City were not as good as those of the Kaimen City, but the difference was not much. The standard circular city had four gates. Viola concentrated her strength to attack the west gate, which seemed to be a single-point breakthrough, but in fact...

The noisy exclamations of the soldiers broke into the ears of the general defending the city. He looked up and saw a huge hole suddenly opened in the cloudy sky, as if the hand of the giant had drilled out of the hole, clenching his fist and smashing it at the soldiers on the wall below.

The terrible wind pressure was enough to blow people around like rolling gourds, and the piercing screams and rumbling explosions seemed to be the roar of some beasts.

The soldiers who were originally staring at the enemy outside the city were frightened and fled in panic. The fear of mortals for giants was activated at this moment.

The cheers of Viola's soldiers became louder. Now that all the gods have fallen, only the Demon King still shows his power, and the Demon King is on our side!

However, when the fist approached the top of the city wall about ten meters away, it suddenly stopped.

It was not that the fist wanted to stop. The soldiers waiting for the impact opened their eyes slightly. They saw something like a transparent shield blocking the fist and them. There was no sound, as if the fist that fell from the sky was blocked from the mortal world at the moment of impact.

The most important reason why Viola was able to restore the country so quickly was that there was a powerful creature whose identity was currently unknown to help.

The defending generals did not know his true identity, and they did not believe the enemy's words about the Demon King.

After all, the existence of the Demon King had long become something similar to a myth, so the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army did not believe in the existence of the Demon King at all. They only thought that he was some kind of powerful creature with an unknown identity.

It could be a powerful wizard, a demigod, or some unknown creature.

The multiverse world is a world of miracles. As long as the probability of anything happening is not 0, it will happen under the blessing of the huge plane base of the multiverse world.

So although it was outrageous, the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army quickly accepted this fact and began to think of ways to counter it.

Compared with the blocking magic circle in the field environment, this time because of sufficient preparation time and still in the city, they had enough time to open more than a dozen blocking barriers. Even if the situation of being shattered outside the Kaimen City occurred again, there were still spare magic circles available.

All the mages of the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army were transferred to maintain the blocking barrier. They believed that as long as there was no external intervention, Princess Viola's current army alone could not break through the Silver City.

The soldiers defending the city were greatly encouraged by this. They were not afraid of fighting, but of this kind of absolute violence without reason. Since there was a way to defend, they naturally did not panic.

On the contrary, the morale of the soldiers attacking outside the city was obviously greatly reduced, and they were slow to follow Viola's charge.

Especially the soldiers brought by the lords. Unlike the soldiers under Viola, they had almost no believers and knew clearly that without external help, they could not climb the city wall even at a high price.

This situation was even more unfavorable to Viola.

And the giant hand that fell from the sky seemed unwilling to give up and hit it twice more. Seeing that there was no effect, it had to be retracted. As the morale of the two sides grew, the morale of the two sides became even lower.

However, just when the defenders thought they were stable, a beam of strong light broke through the dark clouds. It was obviously the warm light of the sun, but it felt a little too dazzling, and it only shone on the city wall...
