"Okay, I promise you, if you can save the imperial city for us and restore our Everblood Empire, we can agree to... surrender to your southern country."
After a long silence, the crutched emperor finally agreed. But Diao Si knew in her heart that the crippled guy agreed like this because she thought it was impossible for Diao Si to do this.
But now that she had said it, Diao Si also believed that she would keep her promise, and pointed to the Heng Sun in the north and added: "Okay, as the Heng Sun testifies, if our Blazing Flame Empire can protect the Emperor of the Eternal Blood Empire, City, if we defeat the Hengxi Empire’s invading army, the Hengxue Empire will become the federal state of our Blazing Flame Empire!”
After hearing this, the crippled Emperor just acquiesced, and Diao Si turned around and left without explaining anything about the Federation to her. The next thing he wants to study is how to recapture the imperial city of the Hengxue Empire. This is not an easy task. Next, he has to truly face the Hengxi Empire, which he knows nothing about.
To be able to make the emperor of the Hengxue Empire abandon the city and flee in this way, the Hengxi Empire is definitely not an easy country to deal with. Diao Si has made sufficient preparations. Since he wants to unify the Nima continent, he must not be afraid of difficulties. If the Hengxi Empire, which was squeezed out of the Eternal Temple, couldn't deal with it, how could he face the three powerful countries
The biggest problem now is that he is the only powerful person in Diao Si's entire army, but his cannons can make up for the lack of soldiers. In the just-concluded battle with the Hai clan, his soldiers have accumulated a lot of useful skills. Cannon experience.
But the advantage of artillery can only be realized in long-range warfare. If he wants to seize the imperial city of the Hengxue Empire, he must either arrive there early to garrison the imperial city and defend it, or let the Hengxi Empire occupy it first and then bombard them.
Returning to the main force, Diao Si ordered the march while studying the map of the Imperial City of the Everblood Empire, as well as the offensive and defensive situations with the senior generals.
After studying the map of the Everblood Imperial City in this way, Diao Si found that it was much easier to defend it than to capture it. Especially when the enemy's strength was unknown, the cost of attacking was extremely high.
If they want to fight a defensive battle, Diao Si's troops must speed up and rush to the Hengxue Imperial City, because the Hengxi Empire's troops are still on the way, and the distance from the Hengxue Empire is probably about the same as them.
Then Diao Si first asked the dragon transport team to fly back to the Blazing Empire, because they did not have much ammunition now. If they reached the Everblood Imperial City and then asked the dragons to fly back, it would be too late for them to come back.
When studying the Hengxi Empire's army, Diao Sicai felt a little regretful. He should have made a request to the crutching emperor and taken away a general who knew something about the Hengxi Empire from her, so that he could prepare some responses in advance. 's ready.
Marching on the territory of the Hengxue Empire like this feels completely different from the previous Chidong Empire. Because the entire social order of the Everblood Empire was still in order after being invaded, and the farmers were still working hard and were not affected by the war at all.
Before, Diao Si thought that the farming technology in this world was very backward, and then the cultivation level of the Everblood Empire was almost as good as the current Blazing Empire. There must be a lot of sunshine here, so the plants are growing very well.
At first Diao Si was worried about the food they were about to run out of, but now they really have no worries at all. Food is basically not a problem in the north. No wonder the countries here are always at war with each other because they are too idle. Nothing happened.
Perhaps because they are accustomed to activities in the north where there is almost no night, Diao Si's team now rests somewhat regularly. After arriving at a designated location, Diao Si lets them rest for a while.
After closing his eyes and managing to sleep for a while, Diao Si called some nearby farmers over. In addition to asking them for some food, this is also to understand the situation here.
Originally, the people here were unwilling to come into contact with strangers like Diao Si, but after Diao Si helped them water the crops with water magic, they agreed to hand over some food to Diao Si.
In this way, Diao Si specially called a few people from the Elf Royal Family to treat some of their illnesses and illnesses. The relationship was quickly established, so that they were happy to send over a large amount of food stored in the village.
People are easy to get along with. As long as you are nice to them, they will be nice to you. Helping those who have been suffering from illness is no small kindness, and they will naturally repay the favor.
But apart from food, Diao Si couldn't get much information from them, because these people didn't care about politics. Although they all knew the legend of the Eternal Temple, in their opinion, whoever wanted to be the emperor had no influence on them. All have no effect.
This may also be because of the long-term melee, the rulers here have no free time to brainwash these ordinary people, and because of the long-term uncertainty of the political power, they do not have many policies towards the ordinary people.
Finally, Diao Si told them about the Blazing Empire and the peaceful environment. They actually said that no matter how chaotic the north was, they would not go to the south because there were long nights and ferocious monsters in the south...
It was obvious that their knowledge of the south was limited to some near-legendary things. This was caused by underdeveloped transportation. Diao Si secretly made up his mind that after he pacified the Hengxi Empire, he would spread the northern desert there. A railway was built above it to completely connect the north and south.
The Hengxue Imperial City was getting closer and closer, and the Hengzhi Sun, which had been spinning in the sky for most of a week, was finally hiding in the mountains. Diao Si knew that it would jump out again soon, and there was no longer any night time here. Sure enough, the remaining light on the horizon had not disappeared, and it lit up again.
Diao Si has never encountered any army or military organization. It was only when he came to the small town in front of Hengxue Imperial City that he actually encountered an army, but they actually thought that Diao Si was leading Hengxue. The Greek Empire's army surrendered directly to him.
When Diao Si met them, they said they just wanted to stay in this town because it was their hometown. Such a simple idea, Diao Si was not willing to embarrass them, but he took away a veteran because he wanted to learn about the military situation here from him.
After understanding this, Diao Si realized that this area was once the territory of the Hengxi Empire. The Hengxi Empire was once very powerful. In the last joint war, it was still the main force in the same formation as the Hengxue Empire.
However, due to their defeat in the United War and the death of their emperor, the Hengxi Empire almost disappeared and no longer had any contact with the surrounding countries. It only stayed in one corner and did not even care about the Eternal Temple.
Before, this was the territory of the Hengxi Empire. They were once bullied by the Hengxue Empire. This territory was also a place they retreated and gave up. Now that they have returned, it can be said to be revenge.
Therefore, if the Hengxi Empire were to attack, some small teams here might simply give up resistance and surrender. Because of the long-term melee here, they did not have the habit of being loyal to anyone.
These are all unfavorable factors for Diao Si. This time he wants to defend the Everblood Imperial City. It can be said that the right time, place and people have been lost. This battle is really not easy to fight.
However, it is still useful to know this in advance, at least Diao Si will not spend any more time on these useless tasks. To defend the Everblood Imperial City, they mainly rely on themselves, relying on the seemingly solid city walls and those extremely powerful cannons.
Yes, Diao Si has used his refraction magic to observe the Eternal Blood Imperial City. It looks quite solid. Although it does not have the copper and iron walls like Chidong Imperial City, it looks like it has a history of more than a thousand years and can last forever. There is a reason why it has been preserved until now.
At the same time, Diao Si has also observed the Hengxi Empire's army in the distance. Although their strength cannot be seen yet, it seems from this formation that their number is not large. Counting how many people are exchanged for one shell, they have to deal with it. They shouldn't be difficult.
It was just that Diao Si discovered that there were still many defenders on the walls of the Everblood Imperial City. They should be the army of the Everblood Empire. It was probably the crippled emperor who stayed to guard the city to prevent the Hengxi Empire from easily taking it away. From their imperial city.
But under the current situation, will the troops left behind by the Everblood Empire listen to Diao Si's orders? I am afraid that they are already ready to surrender to the Hengxi Empire, and they will create some obstacles for Diao Si to take the Hengxue Imperial City. (To be continued)
