At the meeting, Diao Si first proposed a change in his future title and asked everyone not to call him Great Emperor anymore, but this was unacceptable to everyone, so he had no choice but to let it go for the time being. Then, while talking about the day's marching arrangements, he walked towards Reggie and Renee in the team.
"By the way, there was something going on yesterday. I found our soldiers walking around at night..." Diao Si came to a stop in front of Lei Ji, and then said these words to her.
Reggie's expression showed a little uneasiness, and she turned her face sideways to avoid the suspicious eyes. This was obviously a sign of panic. From this point of view, it can be seen that it was the two sisters who assassinated him yesterday.
"Leaving your loved ones is painful..." Diao Si stopped here. He didn't want everyone to guess that it was Reggie and Reni, and added: "I hope you can understand what your loved ones think, They want you to live well, do you understand?"
After saying that, Diao Si turned his head and looked at Renee on the other side. This girl was still holding her mouth shut, looking unconvinced. It seemed that he had to talk to these two little guys in private.
After eating something, their troops set off again. They walked through noon and entered a wide plain, where they could see a large town in the distance. This place should be very close to the imperial city of the Glorious Empire, and more and more people are active here.
Originally, Diao Si didn't want the Imperial City to know about their invasion, so he planned to go around it, but thinking about the unpredictable situation in the Imperial City of the Glorious Empire, he wanted to inquire about it in the towns here, so he continued to take the big guys with him. The troops passed.
This town originally had a large active population, but after seeing Diao Si's troops, they all ran back immediately, and then the sound of alarm bells came from the city.
However, they did not line up on the city wall, and they did not necessarily take any defensive measures. They just hid at home. This reminded Diao Xiang of Ruifeng City in the past. Maybe that was how it developed.
When the imperial city was attacked and the army of the Glorious Empire had not launched a full-scale invasion, such towns basically had to rely on their residents to become self-governing. This was a good thing for Diao Si, and he was unwilling to take action against these people. These people had already been tortured by the war, so why inflict further injuries on them.
When Diao Si and the others formally stepped into the ancient city gate, they noticed that several surrounding windows slowly opened a crack, and the anxious residents were observing them.
The powerful warriors in front quickly caught a wind-listening dog monster and brought it to Diao Si. The behavior of these guys certainly made Diao Si unhappy. How could he be so good inside the Blazing Empire, but look like a robber once outside.
Because Tintin Diaosi had some feelings for the wind-hearing dog monster, he drove away those powerful warriors, then walked up to the wind-hearing dog monster alone and said to it: "Little dog, you are hungry." There’s a lot of delicious food here, do you want it?”
"I'm not hungry, I don't want your things, you better let me go..." The dog said fearfully, and kept looking at Diao Si's equipment and weapons.
Diao Si smiled after hearing this, and then responded: "Why are you so afraid? I will not hurt any of you. As long as you can answer a few questions for me, I will leave you right away."
After hearing this, the dog lowered his head and rolled his eyes to carefully look at the soldiers in shining armor behind Diao Si, and then nodded tremblingly to Diao Si. It naturally knew how powerful those soldiers were, and his heart was probably beating now. Gotta look like a rabbit.
After listening to the wind dog monster's explanation, Diao Si knew that the troops of the Glorious Empire were still besieging the imperial city of the Glorious Empire for almost a month, and the troops of the Glorious Empire could not attack it. But no one knows what is going on in the imperial city now.
That's good. This is also the result Diao Si hopes for the most. As long as they are still facing each other, he can benefit. The imperial city had been besieged for nearly a month, and the food supply inside must have been unprecedentedly tight. The situation of the team of the Radiant Empire outside should be similar, because the Radiant Empire is quite far away from here, so it will be difficult to support them with food.
"Your dog is so good. Give this little guy something to eat. He has helped us a lot." Diao Si told the logistics team. Those people still couldn't believe it and thought he was just talking casually.
After throwing some food to the wind-listening dog monster, it still didn't dare to touch it. It wasn't until it saw Diao Si walking away that it immediately put away the food and suddenly chased Diao Si.
The soldier protecting the food behind was dissatisfied, thinking it wanted more, and signaled it not to come near. Then it loudly said to Diao Si: "That man, you have to be careful. There used to be an army of the Glorious Empire arresting people everywhere." , my family was taken away by them.”
It turned out that it was a kind reminder to Diao Si. After hearing this, Diao Si thanked it loudly before continuing on the road. Unexpectedly, with such a little food, this little guy is going to repay his kindness. In fact, getting along with others is not a big deal. It would be great if everyone was as simple as the wind-listening dog monster.
However, Diao Si has some doubts here. How could people from the Glorious Empire come here to arrest people? This is too ridiculous. It is estimated that the people who came are not from the Glorious Empire, but the soldiers who used to be from the Glorious Empire. This dog must have made a mistake.
But thinking back to those quietly opened windows, those people were really hiding. Such Diao Si doesn't even understand. Even if they are the original soldiers, in times like this, they don't come to grab food but people? For what? Do they still want to strengthen their team and save the country
After leaving the town, there is a large planting area. Although they have long been abandoned, you can still see people hiding secretly, probably looking for food. Although there is no food here, for such a small population, it can still satisfy their stomach requirements.
Continuing to move forward, Diao Si also saw some simple sentries. They were temporarily built here to guard against the direction of the imperial city in the south. It seemed that they had always been taking precautions like this, but Diao Si didn't expect that they would suddenly appear in the north, and that's why he saw so many people active.
There was no one on the sentry post, but Diao Si could see that there were many people hiding in the planting area. There should still be many people active here before they arrived.
Well, since they were all so scared and Diao Si had already obtained information from the wind-listening dog monster, he stopped disturbing these people and he was quite pressed for time.
After walking for a while, another town appeared in their field of vision. This time Diao Si did not approach immediately but cast a deflection magic first. Unexpectedly, such a magic could actually allow him to see something about the situation.
A large number of people were running on the streets of the city. They were hiding in the buildings one by one, just like the devils entering the village. It seems that there should be a lot of people hiding in the town we passed before, but they all hid early.
People under the shadow of war lived like this every day, and Diao Si couldn't bear to bother them. But the road happened to pass through that city, so they didn't need to take the road, and the transport trucks still had to go.
When Diao Si and the others passed by, the city was just like the town they passed before, with no one around. But all signs indicate that there were many people here just now, and they were still secretly observing in the gaps.
Diao Si and the others passed through the town without stopping at all. Some stupid soldiers thought that Diao Si didn't know that there were many people hiding there, so they reminded him again and again.
Diao Si was getting more and more puzzled. They couldn't hide like this right away. They had probably experienced it many times and accumulated a lot of experience, so they had such a fast reaction speed.
In other words, the army mentioned by the Wind Dog Monster has been to these towns many times to arrest people. The nearby towns are afraid of them and have taken measures against them.
So what do they want to do by arresting people? Consignment to the army? Doing farm work? Diao Si felt more and more that things were not that simple. (To be continued)
