let's go! The demolition team in front had already left some distance behind, but it was not difficult for a force of more than a thousand people like Diao Si to catch up with them, and he had to wait for them to level the two hills blocking the road first.
In fact, Diao Si is going to give this demolition team a little help, especially after meeting up with the team of the Southern Zombie warrior Gong Ying. He will ask Gong Ying to move the guards south to the border, so that the dwarves can divert the flow and build a bridge. They can help and protect them at the same time.
It's just that Diao Si hasn't met Gong Ying, one of the three great warriors, so she only prepared some gifts and brought her cousin Gong Long with her. In fact, cousins on this earth should be considered cousins in this world, because Gong Long's mother and Gong Ying's mother are sisters.
According to officials from the royal family, Gong Ying was the youngest among the three warriors of the empire, and was slightly less capable than Hao He and Lei Ming, who had been killed by Diao Si. So she was guarding Nanzhang, a fortress that was generally considered harmless.
The Blazing Empire faces the sea to the west, which is the farthest place from the imperial city, and there are no powerful countries. There are only some small tribes that mainly loot, so they have built special defensive fronts in the southeast and north respectively. However, it is precisely because of the neglect of the west that Green Hidden City has been repeatedly harassed.
The most powerful Haohe warriors and her elite troops naturally guard the most dangerous north. In fact, guarding the north is just a pleasant thing to say, because there is also a large area of remote land like Green Hidden City without garrison. . There is no way, the Blazing Empire's territory is too large, and it is currently impossible for them to take care of it too far with their ability.
Moreover, in recent years, with the melee in the north and the large number of roving troops invading the south, many territories that originally belonged to the Blazing Empire are essentially no longer under the control of the Blazing Empire. It's true that Haohe can send troops to recover them, but after they are recovered, they are still too far away to station troops, so it is better to stay at Beizhang honestly.
Because of the fast marching speed, Diao Si arrived at Nanzhang's defense along with the dwarf troops in front of him in about half a day. Gong Long's cousin Gong Ying had already met them in front of the camp, but she was shocked to see such a young male emperor Diao Si.
In fact, she was not the only one who was shocked. When Diao Si saw the famous Gong Ying, he was also frightened by her appearance. It seemed that not only Gong Long, but also there were many evil-fighting emperors in the Gong La family.
However, Gong Ying was not only stunning in appearance, but also had a very impatient temper. Before meeting Diao Si for a few words, she straightforwardly proposed to Diao Si that she would help Diao Si pacify the Empire of Light to the south.
Seeing her anxious expression and thinking about her situation in Nanzhang, Diao Si could understand that because Gong Ying stayed in this stable Nanzhang for a long time, she would definitely be ridiculed as the least powerful among the three warriors. Used samurai. How could she accept such a statement, so she always wanted to find opportunities to prove herself.
But Diao Si couldn't agree just because of her request. After all, the empire couldn't live without someone to guard the border, and they had to protect the construction team. So he tried to persuade this evil-warming emperor again, but this guy was really not easy to persuade.
In desperation, Diao Si thought of the threat that Lei Ming's death posed to Dongzhang, so he proposed to Gong Ying that after she could successfully help the dwarf team complete the bridge plan, he would let her go to Dongzhang to replace Lei Ming's original position. .
This time it worked, Gong Ying immediately agreed to thank him, and then left him directly to find the dwarf team. It was a good thing that she was so active, and Diao Si was very happy. This sense of honor was really useful.
When Diao Si's troops were about to set off again after resting, he heard that Gong Ying over there had dragged the dwarves to the direction of the border mountains. It would be better to let her vanguard move the mountain first, so that they can pass directly without waiting.
The next morning, while Diao Si's team was still on their way, they heard a rumble of explosions coming from the mountains ahead. I really have to praise Gong Ying. She is very efficient. It seems that letting her fill Lei Ming's position will be the right choice.
When Diao Si and the others arrived at the camp that was already under construction to rest, they realized that while they were resting, Gong Ying had pulled a team of 20,000 to 30,000 people over to support this short team. No wonder it was so efficient.
After seeing the two small hills being blown down, the soldiers accompanying Diao Si couldn't believe how they managed to level the two mountains like this. Gong Ying's troops in front were still surprised.
In fact, it was not the high explosives of the dwarves that directly destroyed the two mountains. They just blasted away some key parts, so that the roots of the mountains could not support the gravity of the mountains and would naturally fall down. This is It's the same principle as when a plane hits the World Trade Center.
After Diao Si and the others rested for a while, the dwarves in front once again blasted away the remaining large obstacles on the mountain, and then they started to move forward through the gravel.
This was still difficult. Although the main supplies they brought were food, the road just after the explosion was not easy at all. Diao Si arranged for more than a hundred powerful warriors to open the way in front, and then let everyone After joining the logistics team, it took a lot of time to finally pass the mountains and reach the wide river.
There was no vehicle to cross the river yet, so Diao Si ordered the powerful warriors to chop down trees and build boats. Then he and the water mages from the Magic Academy worked together to send everything to a position on the other side where they could climb over. It was already noon.
Fortunately, we haven't encountered the defenders of the Glorious Empire here yet. It's probably because they think this location is reliable and it's impossible for enemies to cross the border. But the loud sound from the explosion just now would logically attract the attention of the nearby troops.
After resting, Diao Si first made a refracted observation of the situation in the Glorious Empire on the other side of the mountain. After such observation, he was even more confused because he still couldn't find any enemy. There are two possibilities. One possibility is that the Guangyao Empire did not arrange defenders in this area, and the other possibility is that they knew that Diao Si's troops were invading and had already laid an ambush.
But even if they were ambushed, Diao Si was not worried. He would definitely seize some time and try to reach a border town in the Glorious Empire before dark, so that he would not have to build a camp.
After searching on the map for a while, Diao Si focused on a relatively large town not far from them: Beichi City. It was an important military area in the north of the Glorious Empire, and there should be a lot of defenders there. This was Diao Si's first goal. He wanted to capture this important military area silently.
However, after entering the plains and walking for a long time, they still did not encounter an enemy or even a human being. This is too strange. If this is an ambush, the scope of the ambush is too large. If it wasn't an ambush, where were the defenders of the Glorious Empire? How is it possible for the enemy to advance straight in like this
Diao Si kept using his refraction magic, and with his telescope he still couldn't find any troops. Finally, they finally found a suspected military camp, and then they approached the slightly higher position.
Sure enough, it was a military camp, but there was no one in the camp. It looked like it had been abandoned for several months. However, there are no signs of any damage. At most, it can only be said that it was looted and some building materials were removed.
"Oh my god, did the people from the Guangyao Empire immediately evacuate into the city when they knew we were coming?" The soldiers began to talk about it. Diao Si had reminded them not to take it lightly before, but now he was speechless.
It seems that something happened to the Radiant Empire. The reason is that the dissemination of news in this world is restricted, so the Blazing Empire is completely unaware of it. But what happened? There were still too many possibilities. Diao Si didn't have a clear idea yet, so he just asked them to speed up their march towards Bei Chi City.
Now that something has happened to the Glorious Empire, the Guangnan Empire will not be much better. Diao Si still remembers that there was a possible conspiracy of the Glorious Empire before. Maybe it was because of the success of the Glorious Empire's conspiracy that the Glorious Empire is now like this. .
In this case, the Guangnan Empire would be even more dangerous. He had to step up his actions, because he was afraid that when he arrived, Lafite and Kava would no longer be there. (To be continued)
