"Cease fire, stop firing all artillery, keep an eye on the battlefield!" Diao Si suddenly thought of something, so he loudly issued an order to the generals, asking the artillery to cease firing.
This requires an order, because now there is only the noise of the cannonballs in the Eternal Temple, and no matter how loud the order is, it cannot be transmitted far.
"Wind Spirit..." After the sound of bombing slowed down, Diao Si dispersed in the direction of one of the fogs where they bombed the most.
As he expected, there was only smoke and corpses everywhere. The enemy had retreated secretly, and now there were only a few mages messing around.
This was their conspiracy. They knew the power of Diao Si's cannons, and they also knew that attacking like this would have to pay a heavy price, so they stopped the attack and just released the fog, hoping to use up Diao Si's cannons.
This time the enemy's conspiracy has been seen through, but the problem of fog is still there. Now the comprehensive strength of the Hengxi Empire's mages is no match for the Hengyang and Hengli Empires. In this way, their cannon advantage will be greatly reduced, and they will eventually have to fight head-to-head. .
If it were a head-to-head fight, the result would be somewhat suspenseful. After all, two powerful nations united and they had just defeated the original Henglong Empire, which was the strongest. It would be difficult for Hengyuan to defend the Hengyong Temple.
"What should we do? Our troops are still on the road. What I'm most worried about now is that they will intercept our troops on the road..." Hengyuan told Diao Si, her brows still furrowed.
Since she frowned, Diao Si couldn't frown too. He had to be more active and let Hengyuan see hope.
"What are you afraid of? If they dare to intercept our troops, we will hit them hard from behind. If we attack them from both sides, won't they suffer even more losses?"
Hearing what Diao Si said, Hengyuan immediately retorted: "Then we have to leave the Eternal Temple. This is exactly their purpose. All our previous efforts have been in vain."
"How could it be in vain? We have killed so many of their troops. Even if we want to leave the Eternal Temple, we can gather a large force and come back. Can they stop us?"
In fact, Hengyuan was not willing to give up like this, but if that was the case, she had no other choice. Occupying the Eternal Temple cannot be done in a hurry and requires sufficient preparation.
Diao Si didn't say anything more to her. He continued to use refraction magic to observe the situation of the surrounding enemies, but it was as if they had all hid underground. There was no movement at all, and there was thick fog everywhere.
Or maybe, this thick fog can't last long, because creating them requires magical energy. No matter how many and powerful mages they have, this energy will eventually be consumed. If there is no such barrier, it will be Diao's turn. The cannon of thinking is unleashed.
But don’t they have this plan? Why do they continue to create fog? Thinking of this, Diao Si became nervous again. After leaving an order to alert the artillerymen, he mounted a red dragon and flew into the sky.
Diao Si flew like this to disperse the surrounding dense fog, so Gao Fei did not float directly over because he knew that there were many powerful archers hidden in the fog, and those powerful archers could identify their positions by their sounds. Shooting arrows.
"Wind Spirit, disperse this damn dense fog for me!" Diao Si was riding a red dragon circling around the Eternal Temple while using magic to disperse the dense fog. The location he passed by quickly became clear. , but then became hazy again.
"Whoosh... Whoosh!" Apart from those powerful arrows, Diao Si hasn't found anything yet. The enemies have already retreated a certain distance.
No! There's a situation! Just as Diao Si floated past a location quickly, he discovered that there was powerful magic there that was counteracting his dispersing magic.
Originally, it was easy for him to ignore it when he passed by like this, but it was the confrontation of those mages that made him know that something was wrong, so he suddenly asked the red dragon to take him back, and once again powerfully dispersed the dense fog there.
As expected, there is a large force hidden there, and they are approaching the foot of the mountain. The focus is not on the lineup of this force, but on the fact that they are protecting several large throwing machines!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" There were many powerful archers around there. They used external force to jump up and shoot arrows. The arrows flew around Diao Si like cannonballs.
Because he focused on confrontation to dispel the fog and let the artillery over there see it, Diao Si did not have time to deal with the arrow, so the red dragon was quickly hit by the arrow.
"Hold on, don't fly high in a hurry, just leave this range!" Diao Si advised it while treating it quickly. If it flies high because of fear, the wound will easily open, so it can support it. It won't be long.
The red dragon was quite obedient, because the attack power of the arrow fired into the sky was not high, so it had not hurt its internal organs. With the help of Diao Sishui's magic, it slowly flew up, and then turned around and headed towards Eternity. Temple flew back.
Because it did not fly high immediately, the red dragon was about to fly to the enemy's rear. Only then did Diao Si see the enemy's huge air force. In addition to some elite gryphons, there were also some small ones. He seemed to be somewhere. Monsters I've seen.
However, due to the influence of the fog and the rush to let the red dragon fly back, he did not look too carefully, and instead paid attention to the position of the newly exposed enemy troops that were being bombarded over there.
Although the red dragon he was riding was injured, Diao Si was not injured. He wanted to expose the enemy's position again so that his cannon could completely smash the enemy's plan.
"Wind Elf, let me take a closer look at what conspiracy these damn enemies are up to!" After another powerful dispersal, this time because the enemy's mage couldn't guess that he was coming, the truth was exposed. .
Fortunately, Diao Si revealed the enemy's whereabouts again. They had quickly dragged the undamaged and damaged throwing machines away from there. But after being exposed again, they were quickly dismembered by the cannonball.
This enemy is not stupid at all. They create fog across the entire range just to cover so many throwing machines approaching the Eternal Temple. Naturally, they will not be easily seen through by the people of the Hengxi Empire.
The artillery shells they threw must also be flame bombs based on kerosene, so if they hit Diao Si's ammunition depot, the consequences could be very serious.
Both Hengyang and Hengli Empire are now keeping an eye on Diao Si's cannons and trying every possible means to get rid of this threat, just like Diao Si hates their mages who keep creating fog.
As long as Diao Si's cannons are eliminated, they will launch a general attack on the Everlasting Temple. Without guns and cannons, it is really not easy for Hengyuan's army to stop them. Their most powerful warriors with black martial arts and above are still there. There are quite a few, there are three of them at the fighter level alone, and there is not even one in the Hengxi Empire.
Therefore, after successfully destroying their plan, Diao Si was not very happy. The enemy would continue to take action. This was just the beginning of this battle.
"Healing team, this red dragon is our hero, quickly find a way to save it..." Diao Si dropped the red dragon and floated directly to the ammunition depot.
There was a group of powerful warriors guarding it, and the transport team was also in position around it. It seemed that it should be safe, but Diao Si ordered them to withdraw to the innermost city wall.
He would rather let the person transporting ammunition go farther and replenish ammunition slower than allow the enemy to easily take advantage of him.
"Emperor, can you arrange all your archery teams to the ammunition depot?" Diao Si said to Heng Yuan after returning outside.
Hengyuan hesitated after hearing this, and then asked: "Why? The ammunition depots are all located inside. The enemy must pass through us to get inside. What is your purpose of doing this?"
"No, the enemy does not have to pass through here to get inside. For example, it is their air force. I need your archers, because their arrows cannot easily detonate the bombs inside."
After Diao Si said this, Hengyuan hesitated again, and then immediately ordered the senior general in charge of the archery team to bring the archery team inside.
I believe Heng Yuan also thought that after the failure of the plan to throw the machine, the enemy can best use their air force, and it is difficult for Diao Si's cannon to resist such an air force. (To be continued)
