Outside the royal city, the weather has been cold and wet in the wind and rain, which has brought great difficulties to the rebels with simple equipment to set up camp and supply supplies.
The high morale of the rebels was also reduced in small-scale encounters.
Under the towering and precipitous walls of the royal city, a mountain of corpses has been piled up densely.
The arrival of the devil allowed the elite soldiers in the royal city to regain a certain amount of morale. This also prevented them from retreating for thousands of miles. Instead, they used sophisticated equipment to firmly defend the outer city wall during the day and night siege of the rebels.
The witches did not take action and were still patiently hoarding their troops.
After all, Blue Clothes Integrated Company is only a medium-to-low-sized company, and it has not been able to place too many demons in one go.
The rebels, after attacking for three days regardless of casualties, retreated leaving behind a large number of corpses. They camped in the valley town only 8.2 kilometers away from the royal city.
The setback of the attack made their morale low. The coalition army composed of the oppressed, idle men, and inferior nobles with ulterior motives realized:
[The Royal City is indeed a huge city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has never been breached in historical records]
Coupled with the harsh environment...
…………
"Actually, in my opinion, this city can be defended even without us." Jiang Han, in the form of a worm witch, walked on the wall of the royal city and muttered in Abyssal with a fish-man accent.
Solna, the Fire Demon, held the decapitating sword with one hand and looked at River Valley Town.
With the advantage of her demon blood, she could easily see the densely packed camps in the small town. The soldiers in informal clothes were cutting down trees and lighting fires to keep warm. Some sergeants were boosting morale and sharing the few supplies with the soldiers.
She turned to Jiang Han and whispered:
"...If we hadn't come, there would have been a hundred thousand rebels outside the city and hundreds of thousands of rebels inside the city. The queen and her female prime minister would not have been able to convince the civilians in the city to live and die with the royal family."
For on-the-spot investigation, Solna took Jiang Han and a group of heavily armored succubi to patrol the city wall.
The heavily armored succubus is not the kind of beautiful demon with scantily clad clothes, but an elite soldier who wears fine dwarven mithril armor in human form and carries a howitzer and war hammer on his back. The succubus is naturally different from other demons.
With different order, the witch trained them into an iron army of discipline among demons.
They even wore heavy helmets with visors hanging next to them to protect their faces.
Jiang Han was a little jealous of this elite group. This was the real elite army of devil servants, different from the mass merchandise she bought.
However, these are the bodyguards of the Balrog Witch Sorna, and training them is expensive. Each of them accumulates meritorious deeds, hoping that one day they can be transformed into honorable succubus witches after charging into battle.
Succubus witch... Ha! Jingjing... Jiang Han's heart changed and he smiled sweetly and said:
"...You say, Evelin should be considered a smart person, right?"
Solna called a succubus attendant and asked him to record the number of tents.
In this world where wars are infrequent, a lot of knowledge that a witch considers common sense is missing.
For example, the witch is best at ‘numbering tents’.
Many times, the enemy still doesn't know how many troops he has, so the witch just calculates it directly... Of course, the witch is not superstitious about this either, they just do the calculations to prepare for the follow-up.
Solna is not only experienced in hundreds of battles, she is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the staff around her is full of skills.
She tilted her head, thought for a moment and said:
"In this low-level and poor world, Evelin's personal strength is a level 3 wizard, a level 2 druid, and a level 3 mage. They are already the limit of the limits. Even if she faces a witch who is proficient in level 4 spells, she will still be able to fight.
Strength... This already shows her talent and intelligence. Moreover, she personally designed the sewers and fortifications of the royal city. In a sense, she is the ultimate witch in this world, so of course she is a smart person."
This rating is not low.
Jiang Han looked at Solna in surprise and blinked:
"I thought you thought she was stupid."
Solna raised her head and looked at the distant terrain, and at the same time said in a calm tone:
"Those who think she is stupid are the ones who are stupid."
Jiang Han tilted his head with a guilty conscience.
After Solna said a few words to the succubus servant, she continued:
"A person who is theoretically a smart person does a stupid thing, such as attracting demons to their world. Then there is only one possibility: 'This smart person wants something else. She wants more than this.'"
The world gave her even more.'."
Jiang Han didn't understand.
Perhaps seeing the confusion on her face, Solna paused and said bluntly:
"Evelin has her own little calculation. She may even have guessed that we are witches."
"Oh!" Jiang Han said in surprise.
After Solna scared the little witch, she hummed with satisfaction:
"Those who make deals with the devil are fools, those who make deals with the devil are fools who think they are smart, and those who make deals with the witch are hopeless fools...or they are really smart people who are cruel and ruthless..."
Jiang Han understood now that the prime minister might be the real ultimate young man.
The hearts of smart people are dirty enough... After satisfying her curiosity, she shook her head again:
"...Since she knows, then why don't we just use the identity of the witch."
"The word 'maybe' was created to avoid misunderstandings. Besides..." Solna pinched Jiang Han's nose, "...Besides, we don't know the situation clearly. We only have a superficial relationship with the Prime Minister.
It’s a tacit understanding, let’s wait until we complete our commitment before we consider it.”
"Promise?" Jiang Han covered his nose and asked in a low voice.
"Repulse the rebels and allow the queen named Alison to gain immortality... What we are doing now is to complete the first one." Solna took Jiang Han down the city wall with satisfaction and walked out of the city streets.
Heading towards the factory district of the city.
The civilians on the street watched with horrified eyes as the demons swaggered through the city.
Jiang Han followed beside him, and couldn't help feeling that the witch did obey the rules, and she would give him immortality if she asked for it.
"How should the latter be accomplished?" she asked.
Solna showed a profound smile:
"With a tube of witch disease solvent, if it lasts, the queen will naturally have a long life. If it doesn't... ha, she can live longer even if she turns into a liquid."
One tube...Jiang Han shook his body.
…………
Jiang Han wandered around with Solna for two working days, and personally went out of the city to survey the terrain. The witches even found an opportunity to dig a few defensive tunnels, and waited until new dry food was distributed before they began to have any
action.
If most witches are optimistic family members, then the witches who can be commanders are pessimistic family members who give up before winning.
Including Solna, including a series of group leaders (except the old Chaos Witch Tan Yue).
They restrained the demon subordinates and only used the royal guards as consumables for testing and collecting information.
They were prepared not to win at once.
Just like hunters who are proficient in hunting skills, they are coldly waiting for the day when the rebels' morale is low and their flaws are revealed.
And this opportunity also appeared on the sixth day.
That day Jiang Han was fishing in the side hall, reading the alchemy book, and listening to the discussion between the group leaders and Solna next to him.
But this peaceful day was broken by a witch named Li Siqi.
After the witch broke into the side hall, she told the news that Solna was waiting for:
"The abyss cat lantern released by the weather witches has detected the flow of magic power. Starting from 5 pm tomorrow, magic wind will blow, with the wind heading northwest towards the royal city. After 7 pm, heavy rainfall will occur and the magic wind will weaken until 9 pm.
Later, the wind direction reversed to southeasterly, and heavy rain was forecast."
Upon hearing the news, Solna was overjoyed:
"Waiting for it."
Jiang Han knew that the Balrog Witch had read all the weather records in this area, and at that time she predicted that this rainy mountainous area would have such weather.
After waiting for several days, we finally got the fighter plane.
The Balrog Witch shouted loudly to the group leaders:
"Send the order, each group of witches will prepare rain barriers and prepare palm oil fire. We will make a surprise attack on River Valley Town tomorrow night."
She turned her head again and said to Jiang Han:
"You and other idol witches will maintain weapons and distribute vodka to boost morale."
