Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 61: Threat by Sea
Viola was very concerned about spreading the faith in the Demon King. If she didn't have the job of managing the territory, it wouldn't be the Royal Guards who led the civilians in prayer in the square every morning. Viola would definitely go every day.

It would be better if people you are familiar with want to convert to religion. For example, Viola has preached to Wendy several times, but unfortunately Wendy has never been able to get into it.

But precisely because she was too familiar with her, Viola knew very well that Oldie had an overly enthusiastic spirit for research, and she was really afraid that she would anger the Demon King.

"I've asked someone to get the scriptures. Take a look at them first. Only if you agree with them from the bottom of your heart can you become a believer."

"It's not a big problem. I'm currently researching a self-hypnosis spell. Even if I don't agree with it, I can change it through the spell. By the way, I can also test whether a creature whose mind has been changed by the spell can change the god they believe in."

"..."

See, it really is not reassuring.

At this time, someone knocked on the office door. Viola thought it was Zora who had gone to get the scriptures, so she replied, "Come in."

"Your Highness."

It turned out that it was not Zora who came in, but the tree elf Zoya and her sister Leah.

Leah was smiling and ready to greet Viola, but suddenly she saw a stranger sitting next to her and immediately hid behind her sister like a frightened rabbit.

"Sorry, I didn't know you had a visitor. Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay. This is my cousin, Alde, who just arrived at the territory today. These two are the tree elves, Zoya and Leah, from the Spring Forest near Leon Fortress."

After briefly introducing both parties, Viola noticed that something was wrong with Orde's eyes. She felt as if she wanted to use the tree elves for experiments. She quickly asked:
"Zhuoya, why are you here today?"

"We heard that the city was short of medicine, so we brought some healing moss."

This is a special kind of moss that needs to be dried and preserved. Grinding it into powder and applying it to wounds can be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Drinking it with hot water can relieve sore throat and fever. It is a unique medicine for tree elves and cannot be found anywhere else.

"Thank you very much, it's a great help."

"No need to thank me, the Demon Lord has helped us a lot and given us high-yield crops. We should be grateful."

As the two were talking politely, Aldea suddenly interrupted and said:

"Did you get to the fortress through the mushroom circle?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Sure enough, as soon as I entered the castle, I felt a special teleportation magic fluctuation. Since there are tree elves, it is most likely the mushroom circle. Can you let me go to your woodland to investigate? I have been to the tree elf woodland in Cloak Forest, but unfortunately I couldn't activate the mushroom circle that can only be used by druid spells. Because of this, I was chased by the tree elves of Cloak Forest for nearly ten kilometers."

Alday's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes lit up, which only happened when she encountered something that interested her greatly.

The so-called mushroom circle looks like a very standard circle grown out of mushrooms. Druids can use it to teleport between two mushroom circles, which is equivalent to a portal.

The Spring Glade is not far from the fortress, but the mushroom circle is generally only used to transport supplies or in emergencies. Most of the time, druids prefer to transform into animals and walk to the Leon Fortress.

Zhuoya felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Aulday said. She looked at Viola who was holding her face and forehead and said to save her dignity:

"The tree elves of Cloak Forest should have no ill intentions, otherwise they would not have chased us for more than ten kilometers."

Viola had no choice but to speak. She suggested:

"Auldai is the youngest high-level wizard in our kingdom. I can vouch for her character, but I cannot predict what she will do after running to the woods. If she is allowed to go, I hope she can be kept under close watch."

“…I understand. I will discuss this matter with the elders.”

Viola knew very well that Oldie was not a bad person, but because of her damn research spirit, who knows what she would do to anger the tree elves, so she had to take precautions in advance.

Having said that, Zhuoya wanted to say goodbye and leave. After all, the tree elves didn't like outsiders. Viola and the guards would occasionally come to the woods, and it was okay if they got to know each other, but Alde was someone the tree elves didn't know at all, and the tree elves didn't want to stay any longer.

But before she could open her mouth, there was another knock on the door.

Viola thought that this time it was Zora who had gone to get the canon, but it turned out not to be hers. "Good day, Your Highness."

Miss Wendy walked into the office with her housekeeper Reina, and was a little surprised to see that the office was not crowded with working guards as usual. Then she saw Oldie sitting next to Viola.

"You are... Wendy?"

"It's been years since we last met, Miss Olday. I didn't expect you still remembered me."

"Actually, I didn't recognize you from your face, but your hairstyle is so unique that it's hard to forget."

"..."

Yes, that's how honest Oldie was.

"I have never forgotten you, Miss Olday, for a moment."

Wendy sat on the other side of the sofa and said calmly:

"He used a freezing ray to freeze the tea I used in etiquette class into ice cubes, used sparks to burn off the hair of my favorite puppy, used strong acid splashes to leave a big hole in my birthday present, and secretly mixed a potion but couldn't find a test subject, so he made me drink it. As a result, I had diarrhea for a week. I still remember all of this clearly."

I always feel that the voice is getting more and more resentful the more it speaks...

But Oldie said to Viola beside her:

"Wendy used to hold grudges like this? I almost forgot all these things."

"Remember! How can you forget something that has caused trouble to others?"

Wendy took a deep breath, as if telling herself, 'I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all.'

She paused and said:
"We'll talk about the past later. Your Highness, I have bad news."

Wendy took out a letter from her skirt pocket and placed it on the coffee table:

"This morning, a speedboat arrived from Sailing City, and the people on board brought a secret letter from my father. The navy of the Tandron Demon Kingdom launched a feint attack on Sailing City, successfully covering a group of transport fleets that bypassed the Sailing City navy and headed towards the Leon territory."

The Demon Kingdom of Tandron was one of the four nations that attacked the Demon Kingdom of Avarus.

When Viola heard this, she immediately put away her ease and asked in a deep voice:

"What's the exact number?"

"It is estimated to be around fifty, most of which are troop transports."

It was obvious that they were here to capture Viola. Otherwise, Leon Territory, a remote and barren place, would not be taken even if it was given away for free. Not to mention that the navy launched a feint attack for this purpose.

"I expected the enemy to come from the sea, but... it was too early."

The canyon road, the only passage in and out of the Leon territory, was blown up by Viola. The army would definitely not be able to enter until it was cleared. After all, the army is not just made up of people, but also a large number of important supplies and baggage.

So the only way at the moment is to take the sea route and take a boat around the Spine of the World Mountains.

But doing so is actually very troublesome.

The port of Leon Territory can only moor fishing boats at present, and large warships may run the risk of running aground if they approach. In addition, based on Viola's experience of breaking through, she judged that the four-nation coalition forces were not of one mind, otherwise Viola would not have escaped so easily.

Going to Leon to capture her was obviously a dirty job that no one wanted to do. For the four-nation coalition, if Viola was willing to stay in Leon, they would just leave her alone, as long as she didn't come out to lead the resistance. After getting rid of the manpower of the Avarus Demon Kingdom, a princess with only 2,000 soldiers on hand could do whatever they wanted.

Viola was also very clear about their judgment, so she thought that even if the navy came, it would not be now.

But the facts went in a different direction than expected.
