When he reached the place where he found the living people, Diao Si suddenly understood that these people were locked in a prison car. They could only be brought here for one purpose, which was to be used as food for those sea beasts.
Originally, Diao Si didn't want to waste time here, so he immediately ordered those people to be released. Unexpectedly, after they were released, a man suddenly came over and wanted to say something to Diao Si.
"Please, save our country. I am Liu Hong from the royal family of the Chidong Empire. Those hateful sea people put all our people in cages, and then slaughtered our people every day to feed those terrible sea beasts. We …”
Listening to what the guy said, Diao Si realized that the people of the Chidong Empire had not been slaughtered. The Sea Clan just locked them up like animals and used them to feed the sea beasts.
It seems that the sea tribe is not stupid. They keep the people here so that they can continue to persevere when there is no war. You must know that the appetite of hundreds of thousands of sea beast troops is not that easy to cope with.
"The Sea Tribe is the common enemy of us humans. I also hope to save you from the fire, but I don't know your situation at all. How many people do you have? Where are they being held? You'd better Only by explaining all these things can I find a way to rescue them."
After Diao Si said this, Liu Hong quickly kowtowed and thanked him. The people around him who had dull eyes also slowly reacted and knelt down.
"We still have a population of hundreds of thousands, and most of them are imprisoned in the imperial city. We starve every day, and those who are dead or sick will be taken away... "
The guy kept talking about their miserable lives, but he was not interested in listening to these nonsense, so he interrupted him again: "There used to be tens of millions of people in the Chidong Empire, right? Now there are only Are there hundreds of thousands left? Can your Chidong Empire’s prison cells hold hundreds of thousands of people?”
"Not only the cells, but also the surrounding buildings, we are trapped in the Imperial City. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Imperial City alone, and most of them are the former royal nobles and soldiers of the empire."
After hearing this, Diao Si asked again: "Since there are soldiers, why don't you resist?" This really confused Diao Si. He knew he was going to be eaten, so why didn't you unite and resist
The guy's expression became even sadder after hearing this, and he gasped and said: "We have never stopped resisting, but they are too powerful. Those who resist will be killed and eaten. Whoever resists will die first..."
The most hateful thing is that fear of death becomes a reason for cowardice. Just like this guy said, they clearly know that they will be eaten slowly, but they hide in order to delay death for a few days. They are undoubtedly deceiving themselves.
Or maybe, it's just because they really can't see any hope, so they just let themselves be slaughtered there without a soul. But there are actually soldiers here, those passionate warriors, who are also willing to fall like this.
"Okay, now tell me about the situation of the Sea Clan enemies guarding you there. Tell me as much as you know, mainly about the enemies who may be hiding there. We are about to attack Chidong Imperial City."
After hearing what Diao Si said, Liu Hong told Diao Si as much as possible about what he knew. During this period, the people behind him also added some information, but they really didn't know much about the Sea Tribe team there.
However, after getting these information, Diao Si became more certain that the Hai Clan had moved its main forces to the northern part of the Chidong Empire, so it should not be difficult for them to capture the imperial city of the Chidong Empire.
The most important point is that most of the people in the Chidong Empire are imprisoned in the imperial city because there are walls there that can easily imprison them. In this way, as long as Diao Si captures the imperial city of the Chidong Empire and deprives the Hai tribe of food, their hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to support them for a few days.
Then Diao Si took out the map that the mapping officer had drawn before. They had to capture the next city and eliminate the sea beast troops nearby before they could march towards Chidong Imperial City.
I believe that such a battle has made the Sea Clan notice their strength, so if they cannot capture Chidong Imperial City before dark, the Sea Clan will probably transfer all their food and hundreds of thousands of living people to the north.
In this case, even if Diao Si captures Chidong's Imperial City, the effect will be different from before, so he must try his best to capture Chidong's Imperial City as soon as possible, so that he can control the entire situation.
So Diao Si did not let his army take a rest, and continued to march towards the next city. There were not many sea beast troops around, so it should not be difficult for them. The only difficulty was the Chidong Imperial City.
According to what Diao Si and the others had seen from the air before, there was an all-metal wall outside the pyramidal imperial city of the Chidong Empire, which was very strong. It could be described as a copper wall and an iron wall.
This is because the metal mineral deposits from Dongtu City in the Blazing Empire to the Chidong Empire are very rich. The Chidong Empire built a metal city wall in this way not only for defense needs, but also to show off their extremely rich metal resources.
Such a metal city wall is probably not easy for Diao Si's cannon to blast down, so it will not be easy for them to capture Chidong Imperial City. But there is also an advantage. Perhaps because of such a city wall, the Hai Clan will not send too many troops.
It took a lot of time for Diao Si and the others to finally reach the target city, but to their surprise, there were almost no resisting sea monster troops there, leaving Diao Si and the others an empty city.
It was so strange. Before entering the city, Diao Si thought there was an ambush. After analyzing it with his refraction magic for a while, he realized that the sea beast troops nearby had all withdrawn to Chidong Imperial City.
This sea tribe is really smart. After experiencing the previous battle, they knew how powerful Diao Si's team was and that they could not defend the city with their strength, so they concentrated all the surrounding military forces on Chi Over there in the Eastern Imperial City.
There are hundreds of thousands of human food for them, so of course they have to protect it, and maybe they will send heavy troops to support them. This made Diao Si even more eager to take down the imperial city. As long as he placed his cannon there, the sea beast would basically be exhausted.
So without much rest, he continued to direct the team to continue north to Chidong Imperial City. There is a certain risk in this way. If they encounter an enemy on the road due to excessive fatigue during the march, they will suffer a great loss.
But it was already getting late, and the later they arrived at Chidong Imperial City, the more prepared the enemies there would be and the more support they would receive, and the harder it would be for them to capture it.
And since they all have a plan to gather the surrounding sea beast troops, they should not ambush Diao Si on the road. With Diao Si's current situation, he can only take a risk.
The army continued to march for a while and did not encounter any enemies on the road. However, the general in charge of reconnaissance came to report that the dragon transport team had caught up, so Diao Si used the transport team to unload the troops and kept the large troops in place. Take a break.
This time the dragon transport team mainly sent flame ammunition for the new tube guns. This was proposed by Diao Si later. The main enemies of this ammunition were the sea monsters, because they are the most terrifying enemies of soldiers, so Diao Si Want to make weapons specifically designed to deal with them.
Originally, the dragon transport team was going to leave immediately after unloading ammunition, etc., but considering that they would catch cold after dark and the subsequent war against Chidong Imperial City, Diao Si left them behind first.
He thought of a way to break through the copper and iron walls of Chidong Imperial City, but he didn't want the dragon transport team to take this risk unless it was absolutely necessary. Because of the characteristics of dragon flight, their role in transportation is far greater than their role in combat.
With the cooperation of the Dragon Clan, Diao Si and the others marched faster. He also led a vanguard to the affiliated town in front of Chidong Imperial City, and then ordered the generals to set up their camps there first, and then He used the magic of refraction to observe the situation in Chidong Imperial City.
It seems that the Sea Clan has no intention of abandoning Chidong Imperial City and transferring the humans there. They have summoned a large number of sea beast troops to defend the Imperial City, and they should be waiting for reinforcements. (To be continued)
