After arriving at the border villages, Diao Si discovered that there seemed to be a not-so-weak military force lurking there, but it was getting dark and they couldn't go much further, so they still had to spend the night here.
"Great Emperor, the people over there are all strong and strong. They should be soldiers who have taken off their armor. We have to be careful tonight." A golden light warrior reminded Diao Si.
Diao Sicai noticed those people. There were some really tall ones among them, and he paid attention to their movements from time to time. They were probably some powerful warriors. But in a border village in such an environment, which formation are these soldiers in? Rebels from the Glorious Kingdom? Or a spy from the Glorious Empire
"I understand. You guys stay here well and tidy up those tents. I'll go over and say hello to them first." Diao Si responded like this. The soldiers didn't raise anything more. Now they all know how powerful Diao Si is. , I don’t think he will be in any danger.
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps like this, Lei Ji suddenly said to him: "Do you need me to go with you?"
This really stunned Diao Si. He turned his head and glanced at the girl, then smiled and responded: "No need this time. If I want to take action next time, I will definitely take you with me."
Lei Ji glanced at him, then turned to the side and whispered: "I have advised her about my sister's matter before, and I will take good care of her in the future. I hope you can give her a chance, we... we will do it in the future honest."
It took a lot of courage for Lei Ji to say these words. Even though her voice was low, Diao Si could hear it clearly. He understood that Reggie was just talking down to him because of Renee. Renee had left them, and now the sisters were quite pitiful.
It seems that Lei Ji, who had evil intentions towards her before, did not have this kind of thing. This girl has become much more sensible after Lei Pi's death. I really hope she understands. In fact, Diao Si has done all he can to their mother and daughter.
"I understand. I'm glad you can talk to me like this. When we return to the Imperial City of the Kingdom of Light after this operation, we will release Renee. Of course, this is the last chance." Diao Si said. He turned around and walked towards the tall man over there.
"Thank you." The voice was softer, but Diao Si still heard it. He paused for a moment before continuing to walk towards the suspected military sentry over there.
Maybe those tall people didn't expect Diao Si to walk over like this. When they saw Diao Si approaching, they suddenly walked into the village. But Diao Si couldn't catch up just because of this, so he had to continue walking to the front of the sentries and talk to those ordinary people.
"Hello, I am the envoy sent by the Guangyao Empire to the Guangnan Empire. I am passing through your territory and want to find a chance to spend the night. Is it possible?" Diao Si explained his situation to see the reaction of those people. In addition, he I also paid careful attention to the accents of those people. The accents of the Glorious Empire and the Glorious Kingdom were a little different.
"We won't give you any room here. You should stay at your place for the night." A small leader in the sentry replied cringingly. He thought Diao Si was going to borrow a place from them to spend the night.
But judging from this guy's accent, he should be from the Guangyao Kingdom. It seems that this team is probably the rebels of the Guangyao Kingdom. Maybe they thought that the Guangyao Kingdom had fallen.
"That's not what I meant. Okay, then I'll go back over there to rest and won't disturb you anymore." Diao Si responded politely, just to avoid causing any conflicts with these people. After all, he was on his way now.
"Wait..." Unexpectedly, when he turned around to go back, a tall middle-aged woman suddenly appeared from the house in the village. She looked more like a powerful warrior, her face covered with wind and sand. Mark of.
"What did you just say? Are you sent here by the Glorious Empire? How is the Glorious Empire doing now? Have the enemies of the Glorious Empire been defeated?" Her series of questions made Diao Si confirm that she was a rebel from the Glorious Empire. identity.
"I'm sorry, this situation is related to the secrets of the empire. I can't tell strangers..." In order to test this guy again, Diao Si continued to lead her to talk.
The guy was indeed angry. As he walked over, he continued to ask Diao Si: "Tell me, you weak-whip idiot, what's going on with the Glorious Empire now!"
Judging from this guy's nervous reaction, she was quite concerned about the situation of the Glorious Empire, so Diao Si changed his mind again and said to her seriously: "The Glorious Empire just forced back the Glorious Empire's army, and now there is nothing. It’s very difficult. I just want to bring an army to the Guangnan Empire for help... "
"Guangnan Empire? Guangnan Empire has already fallen. Everyone there has fled this way. Why are you asking for help?" The guy told Diao Si after hearing this, and she immediately ran to the village.
She ran back to the village like this, probably to tell their leaders here. It seems that Diao Si telling her about the situation in Guangyao Kingdom is still useful. These soldiers still have a sense of honor. If they can rush back to the imperial city immediately to help Latin would be even better.
However, after a few similarly strong women came out, another man with a scar on his face pointed at the team on Diao Si's side and said to the middle-aged woman in front of him: "Did you see their team clearly? Have you ever seen those glowing armors? They are not warriors of the Glorious Empire at all!"
Unexpectedly, things have gone wrong again. If things get worse like this, they might even cause conflicts. So Diao Si loudly said to the scarred warrior: "It is true that we are not warriors of the Guangyao Empire, but we are indeed sent as envoys to the Guangnan Empire by the order of Emperor Latin. You can send birdmen to the imperial city to have a look. The empire has indeed withdrawn its troops.”
Hearing what Diao Si said, the scarred warrior responded loudly and said, "Don't coax us. We sent people to the Imperial City a few days ago to learn that there is no way the Glorious Empire can defeat those terrifying sea beasts. You have ulterior motives for coming here!”
It's really hard to argue now. These people have already concluded that the Guangyao Kingdom has perished. How can we convince them with Ciaosi's one-sided words? Moreover, the scarred warrior had made it clear that she was suspicious of Diao Si's motives. If such a quarrel broke out, he might even resort to force. This was the last outcome Diao Si wanted.
"Well, there is nothing you can do if you don't believe me, and it doesn't make any sense. Maybe the Glorious Empire will besiege the Imperial City of the Glorious Empire again. Their current strength is so thin that they probably won't be able to support it for long." Diao After Si finished speaking, he sighed and turned around again.
"No, stop! You haven't told me yet, who are you? What is your purpose here? If you don't explain clearly, don't blame us for being rude!"
Sure enough, something is going to happen, the scarred warrior said, and the people around him immediately dispersed around the guard post. Although Diao Si would not take them seriously, it would not be good to cause any casualties to them. After all, these people seemed to be loyal to Guangyao Kingdom.
"I have already made it clear that the Latin Emperor sent us to the Guangnan Empire to find any military power to jointly fight against the hateful Glorious Empire..." After Diao Si finished spitting out those words, he continued to ramble without waiting for the guy's response. He walked back in the direction of his team.
The people behind didn't catch up or do anything. Maybe it was because they were not sure about the identity of Diao Si's team. They didn't want to be confused. At the same time, they were hesitant as to whether Diao Si's words could be trusted.
It was starting to get dark. After the meal, Diao Si specially reminded everyone to pay attention to the situation at night, and arranged two groups of people to be on duty at the same time, so that most people could lie down and rest.
In fact, without waiting for Diao Si to say it, those soldiers knew how to be careful. Some of them had quite a lot of combat experience. Especially when facing such an enemy late at night, they had already heightened their vigilance.
I really hope that this night can be peaceful. No matter whether these people plan to return to Guangyao Kingdom to help, as long as they don't have any thoughts about Diao Si's team.
What Diao Si hopes most now is to reach the Guangnan Empire as soon as possible. Whether he can persuade these people to return to the Guangyao Kingdom to help is a trivial matter, and there is no need for him to create extraneous matters. If they can get through this night smoothly, at their current marching speed, they can reach Guangnan Empire the next day. (To be continued)
