After Diao Si woke up, he found that the sun had climbed a little higher, and his men had already set up tents on the ruins of the town. He was still accustomed to using refraction magic to observe the situation in the imperial city before starting to deploy his plan.
There was still no movement in the Imperial City. They probably knew how powerful Diao Si was and didn't plan to send out troops to attack them again. They just hid in the Imperial City and waited for them to attack the city.
This is a wise move, because they have no advantage in sending troops to confront Diao Si like this, but hiding in the imperial city to defend is completely different, especially for a team like Diao Si who has no siege tools, no matter how strong they are It's impossible to break in.
This way, Diao Si can calm down and properly deploy his strategy. He can use the kerosene to develop flame cannonballs, and he can also use the metal raw materials and casting furnaces to make some strengthened parts for the throwing machine to increase its strength. range. Diao Si has accumulated a lot of experience in the previous research process with the dwarves, and I believe that it only takes a little time to figure it out.
But then someone discovered that the Imperial City of the Glorious Empire had sent several elite birdmen to spy on Diao Si and their situation. Now the buildings in this town are in ruins. Not only do they have no hiding place, but their every move has been exposed, so that the Glorious Empire can always control their actions.
Fortunately, there are still shooters like Lei Ji. After she shot down an elite birdman, those birdmen knew they were afraid and did not dare to fly low or get close.
After Diao Si asked the soldiers to find a intact and usable casting furnace, he asked them to get those parts, and then led the recruits from the academy to study the flame cannonballs.
In fact, such fire bombs are equivalent to crude gasoline bombs on earth. They only need to be filled with kerosene and ignited with an index. However, if they are to be used in throwing machines, this requires careful study.
Now the main force of the Glorious Empire has also gone to the Glorious Kingdom. After trying the lessons of the two previous failures, they did not dare to send troops easily. So Diao Si had plenty of time and had nothing to do anyway, so he walked on both sides to study the strengthening of the throwing machine and the fire bombs for throwing.
Although there were not many people, it happened that there were all kinds of things available here. By noon, one of the throwing machines was successfully modified. While the birdmen were flying back to Diao Si, they immediately conducted a trial throw. The effect was still good. Quite ideal.
Diao Si is now confident. According to the progress of this research, it is estimated that he will be able to produce a batch of usable fire bombs this afternoon. He will be able to let the glorious empire hiding in the imperial city know his power before dark at the earliest. .
As time continued to pass, fewer and fewer birdmen flew out of the Imperial City of the Glorious Empire. It was probably because they noticed that Diao Si had not made any moves, so they gradually relaxed.
While the people in the academy were rushing to use the kerosene to make fire bombs, Diao Si and the generals were deploying their siege plan for the next day. Because besides that, they have nothing better to do.
The first plan is that they will move the entire camp, food and other things to an ideal position in front of the Imperial City of the Radiant Empire during the night, so that they can directly confront the enemies of the Radiant Empire without spending manpower and material resources. Logistics and transportation.
But Diao Si did not plan to attack at night, because he knew that the Empire of Light would definitely strengthen its defense at night, and due to the light and other reasons, he did not need to take such a risk.
The second plan was to attack the city. Diao Si did not intend to actually attack the imperial city, but he wanted to make the people of the Glorious Empire think that they were going to attack the imperial city immediately so that they could stay in the imperial city and not come out. Their team will not suffer any losses.
This plan is not that simple. Not only must we consider how to control and kill the enemy, but we must also consider what measures the enemy will take under such an attack and prepare various responses. So when he had some free time, Diao Si would tell these soldiers about his plan.
When it was getting dark, the birdmen sent by the Glorious Empire became more frequent, but Diao Si and the others only left a few people to keep watch, and most of them were lying down to rest.
After sleeping peacefully this time, the magical world Diao Si entered was the mixed world where the fire elves reacted enthusiastically. Fire elves are actually the product of the reaction between wind elves and water elves. At the same time, the result of this reaction is also related to earth elves. Strictly speaking, they are not elves.
The understanding and mastery of fire elves is also the flexible mastery and sublimation of the three lines of magic. Diao Si has become more and more aware of the true meaning of this magic. Mastering all magic is equivalent to mastering the entire nature here...
"You can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented." That guy Lao Zhu suddenly appeared in Diao Si's dream again and praised him.
"Is it because of my control over the fire elves? This is just a kind of communication. Lao Zhu, you don't have to please me, right?" Diao Si smiled and responded. In fact, he is not optimistic about his situation at all now. So last time Lei Ming was defeated only because she was injured by a cannonball.
"No, it's not just because of your mastery of fire elves, it's mainly because you have reached the level of magician. What's even more frightening is that you can actually master three types of magic and fire magic, and at the same time, you can also master dark magic. , this is impossible according to common sense... "
Lao Zhu was still marveling, but Diao Si didn't want to hear too much, so he interrupted him with just one sentence: "What's the use of the magic level? I don't even have any powerful equipment or weapons now, why are the treasures in this world so... It’s really lacking, or are you not strong enough, Lao Zhu?”
"I know you're just looking for shortcuts, but I really can't help you with this. Spiritual objects are all about chance. Some mages will encounter several high-level spiritual objects in their lives, but more importantly Many mages will never meet one in their lifetime..."
Lao Zhu was still talking about his theory that Diao Si had heard more than once. Diao Si ignored him and continued to study the mystery of magic in the world of mixed elves.
It was almost time, and Diao Si opened his eyes after being affected by the noisy voices of the soldiers. When it was time to take action, he began to use the moonlight to lead the way, letting the soldiers drag the prepared transport vehicles and follow closely behind.
This section of the road is not too long, but it cannot be said to be short. Fortunately, Diao Si and the others have advanced transportation equipment, otherwise it might have taken until dawn to reach the position in front of the imperial city.
Because the walls of the Imperial City of the Glorious Empire were brightly lit, you could already vaguely see the heads of the guards who had the same idea. Diao Si asked the soldiers to quickly organize the tents, and then arranged a few soldiers to stand guard. , and then he lay down to rest again.
This day and night will be a little longer, but there is not much time left. These soldiers must be very tired after working so hard to move their positions here. Everyone, please take a rest. There may not be any time to rest after dawn.
"Enemies...be careful, everyone!" Not long after he lay down, he suddenly heard such a cry. Diao Si suddenly woke up and ran in the direction of the cry.
It turned out that it was the soldier who was specially guarding Ladu. She had been injured. Gong Long, who had arrived next to her, was covering the wound on her shoulder.
"What's going on? Where are the enemies?" Diao Si carefully observed his surroundings. There was nothing around him, and the soldier standing guard was also looking around. It didn't look like there was an enemy approaching at all.
"I don't know, this is very strange... The enemy suddenly appeared here and killed this prince. I saw her lying in a pool of blood. When I wanted to do something, someone suddenly attacked me... "
The soldier spoke in a confused manner, and Diao Si could not understand what the enemy she was talking about was. According to her, she had never really seen an enemy from beginning to end.
But it was true that Ladu was killed. She had her throat cut with a sharp weapon and her blood was sprinkled all over her body. But who could sneak in from under the sight of the soldiers at the sentry and kill Ladu and injure the soldier without even showing his appearance
This was unusual, and a sense of uneasiness slowly enveloped everyone's mind, and even Diao Si ran out of ideas. (To be continued)
