Chapter 1198 Waiting for that moment to come

Several violent explosions came from the city gate hole at the east gate of Phoenix Terrace, and the final clean-up work was over. The soldiers of the Opluti ** team, covered with a layer of ash, looked in from the outside, no one cheered and no one was happy, they tentatively walked in, lest a cold arrow come from somewhere out of sight.

The soldiers who defended the city left a psychological shadow on each of them, and perhaps even if these Oprus made it back to their homeland alive, this battle would be their deepest memory. Stepping on the rubble, they entered the city one foot deep and one foot shallow. In fact, Phoenix Terrace is not big, but it is stuck in the most important place. It can accommodate more than 10,000 people at most, which is almost the same as the scale of Fangu City in the northwest.

The city is ruined and broken, and you can imagine how fierce the artillery fire of the Opru people is. However, some of the long-range shells fell into the city, but almost all the houses in the city near the city walls were damaged.

The leather boots of the Oprus were covered with a thick layer of dust, and they came in with small steps, and no one even dared to speak loudly.

It was as if there was some wild beast hidden in this city, which made them fearful.

Surrounded by hundreds of elite guards, Rington, the Opru general commanding the attack, walked into the city gates, which now contained many new graves. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that this was the last group of Black Flag soldiers to withdraw, and he buried the bodies of his comrades before leaving.

Lyman only gave them an hour, but they didn't leave immediately.

Ringington was stunned for a moment, then stood in solemnity and gave a military salute to the graves.

"This battle will be written in the annals of the Empire, and our enemies cannot be belittled."

Ryrington sighed, then breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it is still to win Phoenix Terrace, and the location here is too important. Even if His Majesty the Emperor was about to return to China, and even all the fleets in the eastern frontier had been ordered to return to the position of the sea mouth and wait, but Ryrington knew that the imperial army was still back.

When Opru's army arrives again, Phoenix Terrace is the place where the horn of attack is sounded.

"Search and see if there's anyone."

He waved his hand and commanded.

A squad of fifty Opuru soldiers began to search the city, but nothing came of it. Then they found the granary of the Black Flag Army in a remote part of the city, and it seemed that there was very little food left in it, even if it was counted as a thousand people, it would not be enough to eat for three days.

Obviously, this group of Black Flag troops who stayed behind were determined to defend Phoenix Terrace with the determination to die.

Ryrington walked around the city, and there was a row of houses that were a little special, this should be the place where the Black Flag Army used to store weapons, and there were still some feathered arrows in it, and there were not many of them anymore.

"Running out of ammunition"

Ryrington sighed, and said in his heart that if it weren't for His Majesty Lyman's order to allow these soldiers to leave proudly, how many Opru soldiers would these Mad Tiger-like Black Flag Army soldiers fight to die at the last moment? Perhaps at this time in every alley, the fighting is continuing.

He had seen how those Black Flag soldiers fought hand-to-hand, and the last time Buick Duo attacked, he was beaten into slag by those Black Flag soldiers with backward weapons and extremely skilled killing skills. Although the soldiers of the Buick were much inferior to the direct army of His Majesty Lyman, it was still an unforgettable scene.

"Go and report to Your Majesty, there is no one in the city."

After Thunderington finished his order, he found a fairly clean place to sit down and rest.

He had sent scouts to the other side to investigate, and it was estimated that he could not see the men and horses of the Black Flag Army, and he had already walked for six days, and according to the degree of march of the infantry, he had already gone out for two or three hundred miles.

As he sat down, there were many soldiers watching around a huge object. It was a very strange thing, with a very irregular shape, and it looked like a huge sphere from a distance, but there were many twists on the surface of the ball, as if there was something very fierce inside that had been constantly impacted, but in the end it did not come out.

Ryrington's first impression, what kind of monument this thing should be.

The Opru people have a habit of building monuments, so his first reaction was this. He knew the history of Fenghuangtai, and knew that the land that the Great Sui had expanded eastward was all snatched from the Chu State, and that Fenghuangtai was a border city that was built after the war. It seems reasonable to build a monument in such an important border city.

However, Ryrington really couldn't understand what the orb symbolized.

You know, people in this era don't have the concept that the world is actually a circle.

So Ryrington certainly doesn't think about a unified world.

He got up and walked briskly over.

The sphere was located in the largest clearing in Phoenix Terrace, and there were no other buildings around it. Ryrington looked at the surface of the sphere, unable to make out what material it was. Not a stone, not anything in his mind. He tapped it with his hand, and his voice was dull.

It seems to be hollow inside.

Ryrington subconsciously thought, is this a container?

He walked around the sphere for half a circle, and then his face suddenly changed.

He saw a lot of marks on the ground.

"This thing was shipped recently."

Ryrington reacted suddenly, and then something lit up in his mind, but the feeling was very vague, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a moment. But there was a kind of uneasiness in his heart, and the unknown purpose and origin of the thing in front of him made him feel uneasy.

"Hurry up and report to Your Majesty, please don't enter the city!"

Eventually, Ryrington made the choice, and he decided it was necessary to look into it. Until then, it's better not to come in yet.

Just as he had given his order, the iron-clad musketeers of the brigade at the gates of the city poured in. It was Emperor Lyman's personal guard, the most elite soldier in the entire Opru Empire. Each of those soldiers was extremely strong, and the weapons in their hands were not the same as those of other soldiers.

The soldiers began to set up their defenses as soon as they entered, and then saw Lyman slowly walking in with his hands in his hands.

……

……

"What is this?"

Lyman looked at the massive orb in front of him, which could be the size of two houses.

"I don't know...... Judging by the marks on the ground, this thing must have been recently obtained, and it should be extremely heavy......"

Ryrington pointed to the broken green bricks on the ground: "Pushed forward with rolling logs, there are a lot of broken bricks and stones. ”

"Send someone to find the source."

Lyman didn't know what it was, but he felt that the reason why it was here must be extraordinary.

"This thing is so heavy, it's not easy to transport it, so I've been looking for it along the road."

Rington commanded, and someone immediately went to do it.

"If so...... If this thing has any special meaning or use, will it be related to Fang Jie's sudden withdrawal of troops? ”

Rylington speculated: "Although Fang Xie didn't seem to be a little flustered in withdrawing troops this time, it was really difficult to understand. Chen really couldn't think of what it was, so that Fang Xie could leave with almost all the troops. The only people who can threaten him in Eastern Xinjiang now are us. Mu Mansion is not enough for Fang Xie to pay so much attention to it, it is rumored that Fang Xie met Mu Guangling after the battle at Malanshan Pass, which means that the two of them reached an agreement. So it is speculated that it can't be because of Mufu. ”

Lyman's face darkened slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the city.

As he walked, he commanded, "Pull a few cannons in and blast this thing out of the way." ”

He paused again as he reached the gate, then turned and followed the road up the wall. He ordered dozens of ironclad guards to stand in front of him, and then looked through the cracks in the crowd into the city. He wanted to leave, but that curiosity made him reluctant to leave.

In his understanding, this thing could be dangerous.

But the danger he thought was nothing more than gunpowder.

This distance is safe enough.

Several cannons were pushed in by the soldiers from outside the city gates, and Ryrington personally commanded the front one to be reloaded with shells first. A few minutes later, the cannon spat out a ball of flames, and a cannonball smashed accurately on the sphere, and a popping sound was heard, and smoke and flames exploded at the same time.

The smoke cleared

People were stunned.

That sphere, there is not a trace of destruction!

Ryrington's eyes widened, and he really didn't know what it was, how could it be so hard. Even if it is the city wall of Phoenix Terrace, if such a distance is bombarded, at least a pit will be blown out. But there seems to be only a black mark on this thing.

Ryrington hurried over to take a look, and now there wasn't even a crack in it.

He turned his head to look at the gate, not knowing what to do next. After so many years of fighting, it was the first time that Ryrington had encountered such strange things and strange things. The Black Flag Army withdrew inexplicably, and even a round ball left here couldn't be broken with a cannonball!

"His Majesty said to continue to bomb, several cannons to bomb together."

An ironclad soldier ran down to give orders.

Ryrington had a feeling in his heart at this time, this thing may not be something very dangerous, but the Black Flag Army could not solve the puzzle after it appeared, but when it was withdrawn, it was too big and heavy to carry, so it was dropped.

He ran back and ordered the artillery to continue the bombardment.

Three or four cannons were at the same time, and balls of fireball exploded on that sphere. Soon, puffs of smoke filled the city, and the sound swirled back and forth in people's ears, lingering for a long time. At least twenty shots were fired in a row, and with such a force that even the city walls had been cut off by a single layer.

When the smoke cleared, Ryrington ran over again.

Now there was finally a crack on it, and there seemed to be some strange smell coming out of the crack, and he got closer and sniffed it, the smell was a little pungent, and his eyes were a little awkward in the smoke. He subconsciously took a step back and sneezed. I haven't smelled it before, so it's not particularly bad, but it seems to be very pungent.

He shook his head and walked back to order the shelling to continue.

Distance

A sword before the opru soldiers searched the room where there was no place, and several people stood side by side at the window looking out.

"It's exciting!"

Xiang Qingniu lowered his voice: "Seeing that foreigners are so persistent about this thing, why am I so happy?" ”

Ye Zhuhan's face was a little unsightly: "I'm thinking, if the shell of this thing is blasted open, that kind of power will diffuse, can we really protect ourselves?" ”

No one is sure.

They just had a guess, but they hadn't rehearsed it. After all, after the meteorite is sealed, it is impossible to open it casually. Moreover, it seems that it is not an easy task to open it.

"I've saved my effort."

Gai Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Even if I split this thing, it is estimated that it will take a while...... Why did you two come up with the idea of sealing it with two realms in the first place? None of them are normal people. ”

"When to strike? It seems to have cracks. ”

Shiwan looked out against the crack in the window and said.

"Wait."

Fang Xie was ready to wait: "I guess I will be able to see the power of this thing soon." ”

Including him, five people stood side by side, where was the barrier? Even Gai Yu held his breath and watched what was happening outside.
