Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 51 Big Husky

The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

April 23rd, morning.

North of Fort Leon.

"Look, Reina, the wheat in the fields has sprouted."

"Miss, please don't go into the farmland."

"It's okay. The more you step on the wheat seedlings, the taller they grow."

Although she was born into a noble family, Wendy was not a young lady who only knew how to drink tea and chat all day.

Ever since she could remember, she had often followed her grandfather to the fields and had a natural liking for farmers.

"What are they doing over there? It seems like they are trying to build something?"

"I heard that they want to build a mill called a windmill."

"Windmill? I've only seen waterwheels. Is it powered by wind?"

"According to the Knights of the Imperial Guard, yes. This is the blueprint given by the Demon Lord."

Speaking of the Demon God, Wendy was a little confused.

"What exactly is the position of this god? God of war? God of kings? God of agriculture? God of craftsmen?"

Personally intervening in the mortal world shows that the Demon God has an extremely high level of divinity and is extremely powerful, but this has nothing to do with his priesthood.

Priesthood, in simple terms, refers to the duties and powers of God.

Pray to the god of agriculture for a good harvest, to the god of commerce for a prosperous business, and to the god of medicine for a cure.

It's impossible to pray to the god of agriculture for victory in every battle. It's not professionally related.

But the Demon King is very magical. It seems that anything you pray to him can be done.

He personally intervened in the war and gave magical medicine to heal Zora, the leader of the Knights Guard. He was somewhat like the god of war or the god of medicine.

But it also brought new crops and a large number of new designs, which seemed to overlap with the powers of the god of agriculture and the god of craftsmen.

The priesthood is fundamental to a god's existence and is usually expressed very clearly to avoid any confusion.

The Demon King did the exact opposite. Even if Viola was asked, she couldn't clearly explain what his duties were.

Reina couldn't answer this question, so she didn't respond.

"If I were also a devout believer, I could probably ask the Demon Lord directly."

"But you are too rational to accept belief in God."

Faith comes from the heart, not from a utilitarian pursuit. If you don't want to believe in religion subconsciously, it will be useless no matter how many times you read the doctrine.

The reason why Viola and the others became devout believers was mainly because they saw the miracle with their own eyes, so they accepted it in their hearts.

"Okay, after I finish my walk, I'll read the teachings a few more times. Maybe I can hear the voice of the Demon King."

As soon as the words fell, the master and servant saw a royal guard knight riding a horse towards them.

"Sir Wendy, Her Royal Highness the Princess has something urgent to discuss with you. Please follow me back to the castle immediately."

It seems that something really happened.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

When Wendy arrived at the castle, the conference room was already packed with people, all of whom were the guards and officers that Viola relied on.

Seeing Wendy coming, Viola said:
"The scouts just reported that a large number of winter wolves are heading south towards us."

It’s indeed a big deal.

One of the officers asked:
"What is the exact number?"

"The scouts didn't confirm carefully, but estimated that there are more than 2,000 of them."

"so much!?"

Winter wolves are a kind of monster that lives in groups. Generally, the number of wolves in a pack ranges from a few to a dozen. Two thousand winter wolves are more than enough to flatten the territory of Leon.

“This is too abnormal.”

An officer from the local garrison said:

"There have indeed been reports of winter wolves attacking people and livestock in the past, but it is almost May now, and the climate in Leon Territory is not suitable for winter wolves to survive, let alone such a large-scale migration southward."

"I don't know the exact reason yet, but it is a fact that the winter wolf is approaching." Wendy said:
"We must keep the winter wolves in the northern mountains and not allow them to enter the Lion Territory. Otherwise, the damage they cause will be incalculable."

This was the busy farming season, and the arrival of the winter wolves would have a significant impact on food production. Moreover, it was not an easy task to evacuate all the residents of the villages and towns near Leon Fortress into the fortress.

In this case, the only thing we can do is stop them before they enter our territory.

"That's exactly what I meant."

Viola pointed to the map and said:
"If the wolves choose to bypass the avalanche, we only have three suitable places for an ambush. Considering the marching and preparation time, the most suitable place is the Silver Pass."

That is the exit to the snowfield further north. If you don't go through here, you will have to cross mountains and ridges. For the winter wolf pack who are not good at mountain operations, this is the only option.

"Wendy, did you bring any soldiers?"

"No, Your Highness. I sneaked around the encirclement and came from Qihang City without any soldiers."

Wendy looked at the map and then said:
"But Reina can help you. I believe she is more useful than hundreds of soldiers."

Reina, who was standing behind Wendy, nodded slightly and said:

"I have experience dealing with monsters. I have fought against winter wolves before."

"Have you ever been an adventurer?"

"It's just that the master has specially trained us in this area."

"Okay, the details of the specific battle require your knowledge for reference. Do you have any objections to the blocking battle at the Silver Pass?"

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Viola nodded and said:
"Then let's discuss the specific battle plan now and try to complete it before noon. We will spend the afternoon preparing, and after praying to the Demon King tomorrow, we will set out immediately."

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"Winter Wolf..."

Looking at a group of two-headed people on the screen discussing tactical countermeasures, Li Chengxi sighed:
"It's a magical background indeed. Monsters finally appear. I thought the main enemies in this game were all humans."

It always feels a bit strange if there are no monsters in a game with a magical background. Before this, the most monster-like creatures Li Chengxi had seen were the fairies living in the Farthest Forest, the kind of fairy-like creatures that appeared in fairy tales.

In fact, it's not that there are no monsters, but the Leon Territory is so remote that even monsters rarely come. It's so remote that it's hard to find a second one.

Li Chengxi didn't care what tactics Viola and the others had prepared. He just took a general look and then zoomed the camera to the north to find the place where the scouts discovered the winter wolf pack.

It was not difficult to find, because a large group of moving furry things were quite conspicuous. Soon Li Chengxi discovered them among the vast mountains north of Leon Territory.

"Aren't these just a bunch of two-headed huskies?..."

Listen to the name, Winter Wolf.

Li Chengxi thought it was some ferocious wolf-like monster, but when he actually found it, he was greatly disappointed.

After all, a pixel-style two-headed body, no matter how majestic it looks, will only be looked at as cute.

However, the camera follows the winter wolf and soon discovers that this group of "Huskies" are not simple.

Any animal in their path had to run quickly. If they ran a little slower, they would be swept up in the wolf pack and disappear in an instant.

By the time the wolves have passed, there won't be even a bone left on the ground.

So Li Chengxi thought they were husky-shaped locusts.

"Or I'll just kill them."

It is unlikely to kill all the winter wolves with one slap, but as long as the camera is raised a little, the entire winter wolf pack can be covered with one hand.

The faith value displayed on the left side of the screen is approaching the one thousand mark, which should be enough.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Chengxi gave up the idea.

It has been repeated many times that faith value is the most important resource and grows the slowest compared to other resources. If you use it carelessly, you may be at a loss when you need it in the future.

Moreover, Li Chengxi plays the role of God in the game, so he has to think like God.

It would be easy to destroy it, but the profit would be too small and no audience would publicize it.

This is not conducive to the increase in the number of believers.

Even if Li Chengxi told Viola after the destruction, and Viola and the others promoted it, passers-by would think he was bragging because no one saw it.

So after a little consideration, Li Chengxi decided to let Viola and the others handle it themselves first, and he would take action if they really couldn't handle it.

It can not only ensure the safety of the territory, but also maximize the benefits, and will not waste precious faith points casually.
