After Emperor Guaijiao invited Diao Si to their meeting, it turned out that he wanted Diao Si's troops to leave the imperial city as a forward to attack the Hengxi Empire. This was almost equivalent to asking them to die.
Diao Si wanted to resist, but under the current circumstances, he had nothing to resist. In the end, he still had to rely on the Eternal Blood Empire to gain a foothold in the north, so in the end he still suggested and made a lot of sense. .
After listening to Diao Si talking about the interdependent relationship between them, the mage general came to the ear of the crutching emperor and said a few words. In this way, the crutching emperor discussed with her general for a while.
"What you say makes sense. We should cooperate in a friendly manner. But in order to avoid causing too many frictions and conflicts, it is best for you to leave our imperial city and go to Nanfeng City in the southwest, which is still a neutral city. , we will provide a little help as much as possible, because we need you... "
Regardless of how much of the crutched emperor's words were true, at least her attitude changed and she expressed her willingness to cooperate. Diao Si didn't say anything else.
Cooperation requires mutual tolerance. Although Diao Si has given up on the crippled emperor, he is still unwilling to break face until he has to, because this will make his situation even worse.
"Okay, then when will we set off, and when will you be ready to provide us with assistance?" Diao Si asked, and the crippled emperor discussed with the generals again.
"What do you want? Put forward your conditions, and we will try our best to satisfy you. Of course, this is only as much as possible." The mage general said to Diao Si.
Diao Si hesitated after hearing this. They had spent so much time and effort just now, arranging many mechanisms and other things around the Everblood Imperial City, but it seemed that their work was in vain.
In desperation, he just put forward some modest demands, because he knew that the powerful warrior he wanted most, the Emperor Zhuanjiao, would definitely not be given, but they should not care about the scattered soldiers coming from the surrounding towns.
In this way, the crippled emperor didn't think much about it, and took the trouble to agree to Diao Si, and then asked the mage general to be responsible for perfecting these things for Diao Si.
"General, I admire your intelligence and performance just now. Can you tell me your name?" Diao Sicai spoke to the mage general after arriving outside the palace.
After thinking for a moment, the guy simply responded: "Ding Lei."
Judging from Ding Lei's equipment, she should be a mage above the magic level. Diao Si can also sense the elves around her, so she should be a master of earth magic.
"General Ding Lei must have been with your emperor for a long time. By the way, what's your emperor's name?" Diao Si didn't take it easy because of her attitude, and continued to inquire.
"Ciao Yu, do you really not know the name of our great emperor? Don't think you can get anything from me. Although I am not a warrior, I will always be loyal to the Everblood Empire!"
The guy closed the door before Diao Si could say anything. I really don’t know what benefits the crutching emperor gave her. Could it be that he made her a general as well as a mage
"Why are you nervous? Our southern country is a country of etiquette, and greetings are just customary. Well, cockroach, that's a good name, almost the same as Xiaoqiang's nickname over there."
After gathering the scattered team from the surrounding towns, Diao Si led them and his original large army to Nanfeng City. Along the way, he inquired about the situation in Nanfeng City from the gathered indigenous teams.
It turns out that the seemingly nice name of Nanfeng City is actually a terrible place in the eyes of the people of the Eternal Blood Empire. Because it is close to the Sabei Desert and there are often sandstorms and other bad weather, the Hengxue royal family used to throw soldiers who made mistakes there.
In fact, Diao Si had long known that what cockroach promised to them would not be anything good, but there was some benefit to such garbage. It was estimated that the Hengxi Empire would not be interested in it, so it was just right for them to hide their capabilities and bide their time.
Moreover, the geographical conditions there are also good. It is on the edge of the north, and there is a desert in the south, so there is basically no need to take precautions. Moreover, it is only separated from the Blazing Empire by the Sabei Desert, which is very beneficial to Diao Si.
It was a blessing in disguise, Diao Si really didn't want to be tortured again when he got there. Fortunately, he had previously sent a red dragon to ride on the disabled red warrior to find Cockroach, leaving the red dragon here. Diao Si could then let it keep an eye on its companions and lead them there. Nanfeng City.
It took them a while to reach the territory of Nanfeng City. It was indeed a bit different from the well-organized farmland in the north that Diao Si was used to. It was relatively desolate.
After observing through refraction magic, Diao Si actually discovered that there were still people farming and activities in the city. The people in the north are so lovely, and the war cannot affect their lives. Seeing these cunning thoughts makes me even more confident.
Well, because of the Blazing Empire that betrayed Diao Si so much, Diao Si will definitely make her regret it in the future. After establishing a foothold in Nanfeng City, the first thing Diao Si has to deal with is the Everblood Empire!
But this northern country is really not that strong. This can be confirmed just from the battle with Henglan's troops. If it weren't for the cannon attack and the obstruction of the imperial city, Diao Si's team would not have been able to touch them.
Therefore, Diao Si must first hide in Nanfeng City for a period of time. It is best to hide without showing up at all to avoid the war with the Hengxi Empire. First, let them continue fighting with the Hengxue Empire. Anyway, the Hengxue Empire is no longer ideal. partner.
We finally arrived at Nanfeng City. There were some guards there. They were ready to surrender when they saw the flags of Diao Si and the Blazing Empire. But when they saw the reorganized teams of the Everblood Empire, an old general led the team over. Welcome.
They are all old, weak and remnant soldiers, and the veteran generals are even more outdated. If they stay here, they can only act as policemen at most, and how can they defend against any enemy.
But what made Diao Si most uncomfortable was not these people, but the dilapidated city wall. Even the city gate was broken. How could he resist the enemy
Well, Diao Si had already been mentally prepared. Anyway, he now had enough manpower. Even if he couldn't finish the city wall, he could at least repair the city gate first.
The work was quickly assigned, and after painstakingly solving all the problems of the generals, Diao Sicai floated to the highest point of Nanfeng City, overlooking the boundless desert to the south.
The Blazing Empire is in that direction, the dragons will fly over from there, and his women are also there. Unfortunately, he can't go back in a short time. No matter how much he misses them, he can only watch them from a distance.
Looking at it like this, Diao Sicai inadvertently noticed that there was a small patch of green vegetation on the sand near Nanfeng City. This was simply amazing. How could there be such vegetation growing in the desert
So Diao Si floated down again, and after feeling the moisture of the sand, Diao Si remembered that after he took away the light of agility, the Sabei Desert was already degrading, and it would slowly disappear.
Great. In this case, this vast desert will still be a green space in the future. There is no country in such a large area of land now. They may still develop it. Maybe there are many resources underground.
So Diao Si had another idea to develop the Sabei Desert. Next, he would build a railway here, allowing the Blazing Empire to expand here and directly connect it to the north.
While Diao Si was still thinking about his plan, another general rushed over to report. At first, he thought it was another troublesome matter about construction and deployment, but he didn't expect that the general was saying that they found the enemies of the Hengxi Empire approaching through the telescope.
This really surprised Diao Si. What he couldn't understand the most was how the Hengxi Empire found this place. Why did they attack Nanfeng City instead of attacking the Hengxue Imperial City
Could it be that bastard Cockroach? In order to protect the Hengxue Imperial City, she pointed the enemies of the Hengxi Empire here? Impossible, no matter how long the Hengxi Empire and the Hengxue Empire have been fighting, it is impossible for them to cooperate.
So it should be the Hengxi Empire's own idea, because Diao Si harassed them before and because they knew the threat from Diao Si's troops, so they wanted to take advantage of Diao Si's current predicament to eliminate his troops. (To be continued)
