"Immediately let a team of elite birdmen fly around the holy mountain of the imperial city, paying special attention to places where there are enemies!" Diao Si had already thought of something, so he ordered habitually.
The general did not obey his order. Of course, this gave them some time to prepare. After Lafite repeated the order, the general immediately went to summon her birdman troops.
However, those birds immediately reported back after flying a short distance. There were many scattered teams of the Glorious Empire around the Holy Mountain, but they did not seem to pose any threat.
No, that is just to deceive others. The real threat is those black monsters, because no one here knows what they are like, and the Radiant Empire will not bring some useless monsters here.
"Seventh Princess, there is movement below..." Suddenly a birdman said this, attracting Diao Si and the others back. It was the Latin Queen's troops who suddenly gathered outside the range of the archers in front of the city gate.
This is probably to distract the Imperial City's attention, or to cooperate with the Imperial City. In short, the disappeared monsters must be found first. They must have some special abilities.
"Seventh Princess, give me the topographic map of the Holy Mountain right away. Think about where else we can climb on the Holy Mountain." Diao Si thought for a while and said to Lafite.
Lafite couldn't react after hearing this, and trembled: "Can you climb up? This is impossible. The holy mountain is surrounded by cliffs, and it is impossible for more powerful warriors to climb up."
But there are still topographic maps. From the topographic map, it seems that this holy mountain is really perfect. The previous rulers had treated the surrounding mountain walls, so it was indeed difficult to climb up.
"The Birdman troops were attacked. A large number of enemy Birdmen suddenly appeared on the left side of the palace!" Suddenly a general came to report, and Diao Si immediately studied the terrain there, but could it be bigger there? The palace Behind is the location of the mountain peak, and on the left is an almost vertical cliff.
Since the birdmen appear there, this is the place they want to cover, and the place they cover is naturally for attack. It seems too unreasonable to attack at a cliff. Are they just trying to divert attention
Diao Si continued to observe the terrain map. He found that the terrain on the right side of the palace was relatively easy, but there was another river below. People here were afraid of water, and logically they would not climb over like this.
"Let all the birdmen look for it immediately. The most important thing is those black monsters brought by the Glorious Empire. If you find their traces, tell me as soon as possible!" After Diao Si said this, Lafite repeated his words again.
"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? It's impossible to climb up around the Holy Mountain. Even if they can get a small force to climb in, what will happen? Are you too nervous?" Lafite asked. .
"No, the point is that those black monsters are gone. We don't know what they are. Do you think that the Glorious Empire came here just to assist us and one side of the Glorious Empire? However, they only brought a hundred thousand soldiers. There are such a large group of monsters, don’t they know there are hundreds of thousands of enemies here?”
"You mean those monsters are very powerful?" Lafite asked again, having understood what Diao Si said.
"Anyway, those are definitely not pets that come to watch the battle. We must find them now, otherwise it will be too late to know how powerful they are." When Diao Si said this, Lafite completely understood, and she continued to ask that person The general in charge of the birdmen ordered how to step up reconnaissance.
However, while they were still discussing those black monsters, the Latin Queen's army in front began to take action. The shield troops began to appear outside the shooting range. They were putting the hexagonal shields together step by step to form a side. The big shield approached the city gate.
"Archers, prepare..." The general in charge of the archers had already given the order. After hearing this voice, Diao Si told them that they did not need to shoot arrows, because the cards were not easily penetrated by arrows, and they should use stones instead.
Unexpectedly, the general responded to him by saying that unless it was Queen Lalan's personal order, no one could stop her order to release arrows. The enemy would release arrows when they entered the shooting range. This had been the habit of the city wall archers for hundreds of years.
Well, Diao Si could only ask Lafite's troops to prepare rocks. The attack power of hitting rocks at such a height is no weaker than the cannonballs thrown by the machine. Anyway, the purpose of smashing the shield is to shoot and kill the enemy. It is not a bad thing to cooperate with shooting the archers.
"Fire arrows!" The general gave the order, and the arrows on the city wall immediately hit like raindrops. The ground was immediately densely covered with arrows. The arrows at the lower part of the city wall could also hurt the enemy's legs and feet, but this seemed to prevent Can't keep up with the enemy's approach.
The Latin Queen's shield army is not generally powerful. They use those shields to form an invulnerable armored formation. They continue to approach slowly like this, not in a hurry, but very steadily.
"Soldiers holding stones are ready." This time it was Diao Si's turn to give the order, but those people still looked at him hesitantly, waiting for Lafite to confirm the order again.
However, what surprised Diao Si was that the Latin Queen's shield formation was very powerful. They also knew how to change the formation and make the shields into slopes, so that they could effectively dissipate the attack power of the stones.
Of course, those rocks were not in vain. There were many holes in the shield formation, but they were quickly replenished. At this time, Diao Si thought that the number of stones on the city wall was limited, so it could not stop the several attacks of Queen Lacy.
"Seventh Princess, our birdmen have scouted the entire area around the Holy Mountain, but did not find the monsters you mentioned brought by the Glorious Empire..." After the birdman reported back, the general said to Lafite, and at the same time Then he looked at Diao Si's reaction.
"How is it possible? Have they all disappeared? How did you conduct reconnaissance? Did you see it clearly?" Diao Si became angry after hearing this. How could you not find such a large group of monsters at such a critical moment? Arrived.
"There is no return from them. I also find it very strange, but there is nothing I can do about it. I think those unknown creatures may have left." The general responded to Diao Si.
Diao Si suppressed his anger and asked again: "Then have they found anything strange, such as a hole in the ground, or the sky, or anything abnormal."
"No, it's just that the birdman noticed some movement in the river, as if it suddenly rose..." The general was already very scared, because she knew that Diao Si was the military advisor of the Seventh Princess, and the Seventh Princess listened to him in everything. , and now it is indeed her fault for reconnaissance.
Seeing her like this, Diao Si didn't say anything further. He only suggested that Lafite give her resting team an order to disperse them in every corner of the imperial city and notify her immediately if they discover anything.
In fact, Lafite still felt that Diao Si was too nervous so far and didn't think those monsters would be very capable. However, she was used to obeying Diao Si's suggestions and immediately passed on the orders.
At this time, the Latin Queen's shield array was about to reach the city gate, so three more golden warriors rushed out of the large army behind, and they directly used their skills to resist the falling stones.
It seems that the Latin Queen is ready. Although under the cover of the three golden warriors, the shield troops are still suffering casualties, but they are approaching the city gate step by step. It seems that the Latin Queen will succeed after all. .
"Soldiers behind the city gate, prepare, the enemy is about to hit the city gate!" Lafite loudly issued an order to the inside of the city wall, only to realize that Lacy and other princesses were already there.
It seems that everyone in the city now knows that the Latin Queen is going to attack the city, and who can sleep peacefully? Not only these princesses, Lalan must also be nervous, but she did not go to the city gate.
But even if the city gate is breached, there are still so many archers on the city wall. If the Latin Queen's troops want to attack, they will be exposed to such a rain of arrows and the losses will be very heavy.
There are still 300,000 troops waiting in the imperial city. It stands to reason that the Latin Queen will not suffer such a loss. She must have other plans, so she must not take it lightly and must always pay attention to changes in the situation. (To be continued)
