I originally planned to take a good rest and give the Radiant Empire some color early tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Ladu in Diao Si's camp was mysteriously killed. Even he, who was used to analyzing problems, couldn't figure out how Ladu died.
Could it be a mage as powerful as Diao Si? Impossible, the Empire of Light originally expelled mages, and Diao Si had never heard of such a powerful mage existing here.
Thinking like this, Diao Si finally had to doubt the injured soldier, because if the enemy had no possibility of sneaking in, the only person who could kill Ladu and hurt her would be herself.
But why would she do this? Although there may be other families in the Blazing Empire who have plans for Diao Si, why do they take action like this and kill Ladu instead of attacking him directly, Diao Si? Moreover, this warrior's weapon was not a sword. The injury, especially the injury on the back of her shoulder, was not caused by her weapon.
If this soldier is innocent, who has such ability? You can sneak here to find Ladu and kill her under the eyes of these warriors standing guard. The most fundamental question is, what is his motive for doing this
"You must have missed something. Now tell me the whole thing from beginning to end. Don't miss anything, including any doubts and thoughts you have." Diao Si also wanted to give the warrior a mental magic, but still Try to trust her first.
"Emperor, you must believe me. I really don't know what's going on. I was staring at that guy just now. It wasn't until I saw her falling asleep that I dozed off..."
The soldier followed Diao Si's request and told the whole process in detail. Diao Si soon noticed something special. Before Ladu was killed, she seemed to hear something and felt someone. near.
If what she was talking about was not a hallucination, there were probably only two reasons: First, she had been possessed by dark magic and was manipulated to kill Ladu, and then when she struggled to wake up, she was stabbed by the dark mage. Second, a very powerful long-range warrior just arrived. He used long-range weapons that left no trace to kill Ladu and injured this warrior from a distance.
"Okay, it's just Ladu who died anyway. Let's go back and rest first. We will attack the Imperial City of the Glorious Empire right after dawn. Don't take a nap then."
Diao Si said it so lightly because he didn't want this incident to affect the morale of these soldiers, because after dawn they had to show off to the Glorious Empire. So with that said, he asked everyone to disperse, and he stayed behind to let the soldier treat the injury on the back of his shoulder first.
This person must have been killed with a sharp weapon. When he was treated with water magic, Diao Si also discovered that there was some strange mucus left at the wound. This made him even more confused. Who would have such mucus on their weapons
Because he couldn't figure it out, he quickly checked Ladu's body. Sure enough, there was still that special mucus on her neck, but Diao Si couldn't sense any toxicity or effect on it. This was so strange, who Would you paint this useless thing on your weapon
After the treatment, Diao Si returned to his tent. Worried about the possible mysterious enemy, he carefully observed his surroundings before slowly lying down.
Because there was no answer yet, Diao Si thought about this question over and over again, but in the end he figured it out. Since killing people like Ladu at such a time and in such a place, it must be related to the Glorious Empire. The answer It will be revealed after he captures the Glorious Empire.
As the sky gradually became brighter, the people on the walls of the Imperial City quickly noticed the small camp in front of them, especially the two throwing machines that were being assembled. After seeing the generals suddenly gathering on the city wall, Diao Si immediately signaled the new mage recruits responsible for throwing to get ready to take action.
Because it used the original components, the attack range could not hit the city wall. It only hit the position in front of the city gate, splashing the kerosene all over the floor. The generals on the city wall laughed when they saw this, and some of them wearing golden battle suits left because they did not feel threatened.
The generals of the Glorious Empire all knew the attack range of their throwing machines, and they must be laughing at Diao Si for being a fool. It was a waste of effort to throw those unknown shells outside their city gates.
"Lei Ji, can your arrow reach the city gate?" Diao Si suddenly asked, and Rei Ji reacted from her thoughts: "Of course it can, this distance is nothing to me!"
"Then what if you tie something the size of a machine box to your arrow, and then light it on fire?" Diao Si asked, and only then did Lei Ji know his purpose of dropping air bombs on the city gate over there.
"Well, I can move forward a little further. In short, I can promise to help you light the kerosene there... But if you burn the front of their city gate, what's the use?" Reggie answered and then asked. her question.
Diao Si smiled after hearing this, and then answered her mysteriously: "Well, I can rest assured that you can do your job. As for what you want to know, you will know it by then."
The empty bombs continued to be fired for a while. When Diao Si used the magic of refraction to see that the kerosene had gradually flowed to the city gate, he ordered to stop throwing and replaced the parts of the throwing machine with reinforced ones.
If the generals of the Glorious Empire had carefully observed at this time, knew that the things at the city gate were kerosene, and then ignited them first to let them burn, it would be very difficult for Diao Si to win this battle today. But they all just laughed at the siege team. They were completely unprepared and missed this opportunity.
"Emperor, should we fire blank bullets instead of flame bombs?" When they were about to throw it, the mages couldn't figure it out and asked Diao Si.
Diao Si nodded after hearing this and replied affirmatively: "Yes, we still drop air bombs, but you must pay attention to adjusting the direction of the attack according to my requirements."
After that, Diao Si once again used his refraction magic, and the scene inside the imperial city was reflected in the sky, including those empty bullets that flew in and hit the top of the buildings, which could basically be seen clearly at a glance.
"Be careful to move the No. 1 machine to the left. The No. 2 machine is not strong enough. Lengthen the throwing arm..." Diao Si began to direct them to calibrate, trying to hit the shells on large buildings that are easy to burn, and then Avoid hitting civilian buildings.
Diao Si's goal was to connect those large buildings into a sea of flames and make the people of the Glorious Empire completely surrender at once. What he wants is not massacre but destruction, maximum destruction. Even if he wants to kill, he only wants to kill those soldiers. Killing civilians has no meaning.
"The enemy won't leave the city in a short time. Anyone who has free time can come over and help get the shells. The method of making the blank shells is very simple. You just need to pack as much kerosene as possible and put it on... "
Diao Si directed the throwing and taught the soldiers how to make blank bombs, but soon he discovered that there were big movements in the imperial city. Some elite birds and griffons were deploying, and some soldiers began to carry water. Go flush the kerosene off that building.
They must have discovered that what Diao Si threw in was kerosene and guessed his purpose, so they took action to clean up the kerosene that was already everywhere. But is it still too late? Moreover, when the kerosene is washed to the ground with water, it will float on the water and can also burn.
"Okay, soldiers go back to their posts, throw all these empty bombs and immediately launch flame bombs!" After Diao Si gave the order, the speed of the two machines accelerated, because now the accuracy is not the same. Importantly, they must use fire bombs as quickly as possible.
After two consecutive flaming flames flew into the imperial city, raging fires were immediately ignited in two places. When the soldiers saw it, they just stared in a daze. Some of them may have already known the problem. , but the imperial city had been sprinkled with kerosene, and for a while they couldn't think of what to do.
The generals on the city wall all thought of what Diao Si's purpose was, but they were unable to attack Diao Si and the others from such a distance, and could only look at the imperial city that was slowly burning in fear. (To be continued)
