Along the way, Diao Si carefully studied the maps of the Blazing Empire and the Blazing Empire. In fact, the previous area of the Blazing Empire was very small, less than one-tenth of the Blazing Empire. It was blocked by the Blazing Empire. A small piece of the sea to the east.
However, based on the recent expansion map of the Chidong Empire provided by those officials, Diao Si discovered that the Chidong Empire had already occupied the Salar, Wasi, Lamu and other countries around the Sabei Desert from east to north, which was also the opposite of Chiyan. The empire developed into an almost semi-encircled state.
It should be said that the reason why the Chidong country is developing to the north is because it is afraid of the Blazing Empire, but today it actually attacked the defenders of the eastern border, which must have been determined to invade the Blazing Empire.
If there was only one Chidong Empire, Diao Si would not take it seriously, but the situation of the Chidong Empire was the same as that of the previous Glorious Empire, with the support of the powerful sea beasts of the Sea Clan.
And during in-depth analysis, Diao Si also discovered that if he took down the Chidong Empire in one fell swoop, this would have serious consequences, and it might directly lead to the economic decline of the Chiyan Empire and the deepening of domestic conflicts.
Because the Chidong Empire has been occupied by the Hai Clan for so long, it must be like the Empire of Light before, with holes everywhere and people living in dire straits. If it becomes the territory of the Blazing Empire, this will be a major drag on the economic development of the Blazing Empire. And then the Blazing Flame Empire would lose the barrier of the Chidong Empire and directly face the powerful Sea Clan.
Therefore, now is not the time for humanitarianism. Diao Si must continue to let the Chidong Empire stay there and be invaded by the Hai Clan, providing them with a natural barrier, so that the Chiyan Empire can continue to develop according to its original plan.
However, it is not a bad thing to send troops this time to give the Chidong Empire some color. If the border is unstable, it will also leave hidden dangers for the Chiyan Empire. In this way, winning a battle can also promote the stability of the military and the people.
After leaving the imperial city, they marched until noon when they suddenly encountered the first batch of refugees migrating from east to west. These refugees are estimated to number in the tens of thousands, and most of them seem to be individual civilians, but there are some people dressed as workers and peasants among them.
At first, Diao Si thought that the Chidong Empire had broken through the defense line of Eastern Xinjiang and invaded. After inquiring, he found out that most of these people were from Dongtucheng and its nearby villages. They moved west because they were worried about the invasion of the Chidong Empire. .
It seems that in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the Chidong Empire must be seriously dealt with, because the common people are the most sensitive. They are easily affected by the people around them. They will become chaotic at the slightest thing, and they will run away desperately if there is any danger. .
So after putting the large army to rest, Diao Si led a small team of warriors, holding the banner of the Blazing Empire, to greet the migrating refugees. It's a pity that the refugees became even more worried when they saw the army of the Blazing Empire. They didn't dare to get close at all, and some even took a detour and ran away.
It has no effect. It is the shadow of war that makes them scared when they see Diao Si's army. Under such circumstances, even if they are arrested and persuaded, they cannot be completely relieved. They can only be proved to them through facts. Saw it.
Now it is mainly retail households, and if it continues to develop, it will be workers and agricultural workers, because there are large metal mines in Dongtu City. If all the people there run away, it will also be a big loss for the empire's economic construction.
After seeing this situation, Diao Si did not stop for long, and quickly gathered his troops and continued to the defense line in Eastern Xinjiang. After walking for a while, they arrived at Dongtu City, which was also of a certain size.
Dongtucheng had already garrisoned troops at this time, and the generals there were very happy when they saw the reinforcements from the Blazing Empire, and immediately came out to greet them. However, after knowing that the team coming to support was led by Diao Si himself, the general was a little unhappy again.
Diao Si could tell something from her attitude. This guy was probably Lei Ming's old subordinate. Their previous leader Lei Ming was killed by Diao Si himself. It's not surprising that some people who were loyal to Lei Ming had opinions about Diao Si.
However, the general happened to know Lei Ji, and they were both from the Lei Gang family. After Lei Ji's guidance, her attitude towards Diao Si improved.
Diao Si didn't do anything to the general because of this. He was only concerned about the situation on the Eastern Xinjiang defense line. After asking Lei Ji about it, he found out that there were not many people left on the defense line in the valley, and There are still a large number of wounded soldiers there.
However, they followed Warrior Thunder's orders during his lifetime and had already made up their minds. Even if they were to die there, they would not retreat even half a step. Perhaps it was because of this order that they resisted the invasion of the Chidong Empire.
It seems that Lei Ming is really a talented general, but it is a pity that she is destined not to be used by Diao Si. Although it is a pity, Diao Si has no choice but to do so.
This place is not far from the defense line. Diao Si can even use his refraction magic on the city wall to see the general situation there. It seems that it is safe for the time being, but due to the effect of the refraction magic and the obstruction of the camp tents over there, , which cannot explain the specific situation inside.
After the rest, Diao Si continued to lead his large troops away, heading directly to the defense line over there. Because that is the only place that is easy to pass through among the mountains, I believe that if the Chidong Empire wants to attack, they will definitely choose to attack there.
After seeing the reinforcements of hundreds of golden warriors, the generals over there were very happy to greet them. However, after seeing Diao Si, they had the same bad attitude as the previous generals in Dongtu City.
However, no matter how bad their attitude was, they still obeyed Diao Si's orders, and Lei Ji also knew many of the generals here. After her communication like this, they gradually learned to respect Diao Si.
As expected, there was also a simple city wall here, but it had been bombarded to a pulp and was no longer able to block the enemy's attack, so the first thing Diao Si did was to order them to repair it first.
Then Diao Si first learned about the enemy's situation. According to the reconnaissance information of the mixed crystal warrior commander, the Chidong Empire's invading troops were still camped at a distant location, waiting for reinforcements to prepare for the next attack.
Diao Si used his refraction magic to observe again. The commander's intelligence was quite accurate, but he soon discovered that some scattered sea beasts were still looking for human beings on the former battlefield between them and the enemy. corpse.
This is the purpose of the Chidong Empire's war. Even if they are defeated, they can keep the sea beast for a while. Therefore, their conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed. Diao Si immediately issued an order asking them to bring all the corpses of our enemies and enemies on the battlefield back here to be disposed of.
Suddenly there was such a strange order, and the generals couldn't understand it, but they took action immediately. Then Diao Sicai analyzed the situation of those sea beasts with the commander and others, and explained the reasons for the previous order.
After understanding the enemy's situation, Diao Si began to understand the situation of the eastern border defenders here. Only after understanding this did we know that their situation was not optimistic at all, especially since there were still thousands of wounded soldiers who were basically unable to go to the battlefield and were hiding in the camp.
This would not only drag down the army, but also have a certain impact on the morale of the army. However, Diao Si could not send people to send them back to the imperial city now, so he personally led the team from the academy to treat the soldiers. .
Fortunately, Diao Si is now wearing the Armor of Life, and his energy seems to be inexhaustible. Otherwise, if he treats so many people like this, he will fall asleep very quickly.
Although many fracture-type injuries cannot be cured by water magic, it at least reduces their pain a lot and allows them to do some work as disabled soldiers.
But it was unexpected that when most people were full of gratitude and respect for his hands-on treatment, several generals refused to accept his treatment because of Lei Ming's incident.
Diao Si couldn't stand such a stupid conscience, and really wanted to ignore these people and let them suffer. But thinking about the future of the empire, he still held back and forcibly treated them. But it seems that after returning to the imperial city, he has to find a way to vindicate Lei Ming, because she has too many gang members.
This continued until it got dark and Diao Si's energy was finally exhausted, and he went directly to sleep and rest in the camp of the wounded soldiers. It wasn't that he was so relieved, but because he knew that even though he didn't order anything, the golden warriors he brought over would protect him.
Until at some point, perhaps due to the effect of the automatic defense, Diao Si felt someone suddenly approaching, and he suddenly woke up. (To be continued)
