"Hehe, it's me, I didn't expect adults to remember Li Yi."

"I really don't know what to say about you, do you really think that there is no one in my Beihua City. What is the purpose of visiting late at night? Now that you're here, I think you're in the Central Army by now. ”

"My lord is right, Li Yi is not talented, and now he is a small regiment commander in the Central Army. It's just that the adults misunderstood, Li Yi just suddenly felt that he wanted to come to the city for a walk, but he didn't expect to walk around, so he came here. Seeing that Clio was not hostile at all, Li Yi also said relaxedly.

Just as the two were talking, a deep voice came from behind Clio: "Clio, is there an acquaintance visiting outside the door?" ”

Li Yi followed the prestige again, and when he saw the person who came out, he couldn't help but smile bitterly again. I didn't expect to meet all the acquaintances I knew here.

"Lord Duke, Li Yi is rude." Li Yi said calmly.

"Hehe, who can I talk so much to this wood like Cleo, it turns out to be you kid." Duke Vanessa said with a smile, maybe he was also surprised by Li Yi's appearance, but there was no surprise on his face.

"Adults don't have to laugh at Li Yi, since I have been exposed, whether you kill or bury it, you all listen to it." Li Yi was also chic, knowing that he would definitely not be able to be good today, so he said generously to the two.

"Li Yi, when I first saw you, I felt that you were not a simple person. I didn't expect people like you to be really crazy, don't you know what will happen if you sneak into my Beihua City at night, if you are discovered? Duke Vanessa said with a faint smile.

"I didn't think about it so much before, and it's useless to think about it now." Li Yi said simply, and there was no fear on his face.

"Hehe, I don't embarrass you. I cherished you very much at the beginning, but you didn't want to be with me. I don't know if you didn't have the army at that time, or if you had a master around you to guide you, in short, you can't be used by me. Now I ask you once again if you will join me in creating the unprecedented prosperity of the Sayy Empire. Duke Vanessa said seductively.

"I'm sorry, my lord, Li Yi won't agree to this proposal." Li Yi said lightly, and he was not afraid of any retaliation if he refused.

"In that case, I won't force you anymore, you can go."

Unexpectedly, the other party said this, Li Yi was ready to fight to the death, but now Duke Vanessa let himself go inexplicably.

"My lord, I heard me right, will you let me go?" Li Yi asked confirmatively.

"Well, yes. Don't you want to go, you want to join me? Vanessa said with a smile.

"Why do you want to do this, as an officer of the Central Army, I am here, why can you still let me go." Li Yi still asked unrelentingly.

"No, I said that I cherish your talent and don't want your good future to be ruined in my hands." After speaking, Duke Vanessa no longer paid attention to Li Yi, but turned around and walked towards the mansion.

Li Yi stood in place inexplicably, stunned for a long time. After a long time, Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and walked out of the city.

Leaving the city was also a simple matter for Li Yi, but half an hour later, Li Yi stood in the barracks of the Central Army again.

There will be Beihua City in the distance, and Li Yi still doesn't understand that Duke Vanessa let him go once. But after a blink of an eye, Li Yi didn't think about it anymore, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to worry about himself.

When he returned to his residence, Li Yi didn't take off his clothes, he fell on the bed in a daze, and fell asleep.

When the sun rose the next day, Li Yi stood under Beihua City with the army, looking at the magnificent city in front of him, Li Yi knew that the war was about to break out.

"General, give the order to launch a general attack." A division commander standing beside Luo Ning broke the silence first and spoke to the old general.

Hearing this, General Luo Ning did not react, but held the command sword in his hand and looked coldly at Beihua City opposite.

Following General Luo Ning's gaze, Li Yi saw where General Luo Ning's gaze was heading, and Duke Vanessa was standing there calmly at this time, looking at General Luo Ning from a distance.

Suddenly, Li Yi saw the corners of Duke Vanessa's mouth curl slightly, in this tense atmosphere, Duke Vanessa could still have such a relaxed posture. After laughing, Duke Vanessa turned and walked down the tower. And at the moment when he walked away, General Luo Ning also said lightly: "Attack." ”

Hearing the order, several division commanders took the order at the same time. The division commander in charge of the main attack waved his hand and roared angrily: "Attack, warriors." ”

Rows of neat soldiers, holding huge shields, formed an infantry phalanx, and pressed towards Beihua City with a steady pace.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" The commander of the city also roared and urged his archers to fight the enemy, and suddenly the sky seemed to be obscured by the arrows that were fired, and even the sky began to become gloomy.

Soldiers continued to fall under the rain of arrows, and soldiers continued to reinforce them.

Li Yi watched all this coldly, and secretly sighed that a war is a huge meat grinder, and these poor soldiers are the meat filling in it.

The range of the rain of arrows of the Vanessa rebels was only three hundred meters, which was such a short distance, but it made the Central Army pay a lot of price before rushing to the city.

The next battle in the city will be extremely difficult. This wall of more than ten meters high is the most difficult gap for all the soldiers of the Central Army to cross.

Just when Li Yi thought that the Central Army would be at a loss, in the middle of the camp, a strange-shaped machine was suddenly launched.

"What is this?" Facing this guy who couldn't be named, Li Yi couldn't help but ask the officer beside him.

"Commander Li doesn't know, this is the ultimate killing weapon of our Tianlan Empire, the Magic Crystal Cannon, this is the most powerful siege weapon so far." The officer on the side said to Li Yi with a smile, obviously full of confidence in this big guy.

"Crystal Cannon?" For this new thing, Li Yi really heard of it for the first time. However, thinking of the magic crystal mine he was stationed in before, he couldn't help but ask: "Does the magic crystal mine have anything to do with the magic crystal cannon?" ”

"The energy of the magic crystal cannon is the magic crystal, of course, it needs the support of a huge magic crystal mine." The officer said as a matter of course.

"Oh, hehe, another idiot question. So, is this magic crystal cannon unique to our Tianlan Empire, or do the other two empires also have this kind of killing weapon? ”

"The technology of the Magic Crystal Cannon is exclusive to our Tianlan Empire, and it was designed by Gerald, the greatest alchemist in the world today. It's just that more than ten years ago, after the empire failed in an expedition to the Atlantan Empire, it was unexpectedly surrendered by the Atlantan Empire with a magic crystal cannon. At that time, the magic crystal cannon was not damaged, and it is estimated that the Atlantan Empire will use it. The officer talked eloquently and told Li Yi about a small episode of the magic crystal cannon.

"Oh, I said why the empire attaches so much importance to the magic crystal mine, it turns out that it is not only because of the precious price of this thing, but also because our magic crystal cannon needs a huge source of energy." Li Yi said with some understanding.

"Well, that's right, when it comes to the demand for magic crystal ore, all countries are not as big as the demand of our Tianlan Empire."

"Of course, as long as there is a magic crystal mine, you can control this killing weapon forever, but I don't know how powerful this thing is, and I really can't see anything special about it from the outside."

It seems that in order to prove his worth to Li Yi, before Li Yi's words fell, several mages in front of the barracks had already formed their handprints and manipulated the magic crystal cannon.

I only heard a loud noise, and a milky white light group erupted from the dark barrel of the magic crystal cannon, and the light group flew quickly towards Beihua City, I don't know if it was deliberately inaccurate, or the operation was biased, this light group quickly smashed on the city wall, and the city wall built with boulders, under the attack of the light group, seemed to be made of tofu. After a bombardment, a huge crack appeared in the magnificent city wall.

Li Yi looked at this blow dumbfounded, and he was determined to do so, and now he was also shocked by this earth-shattering blow. I thought about it for a while, even if I used all my strength to slash with my qi, it would be impossible to leave such a terrifying crack on the city wall.

"How about it, Captain Li, this guy is still quite powerful." The officer on the side saw Li Yi who was stunned beside him, and said to Li Yi proudly.

"Well, awesome, awesome. If there are dozens of cannons, then this Beihua City will not need to be hit, and it will be directly destroyed by the city wall and attacked. Li Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said.

"Hehe, Commander Li laughed, if you can really fire dozens of cannons, then of course you don't have to fight. It's just that Regiment Leader Li doesn't know how much this magic crystal cannon consumes the magic crystal. Just that one shot was going to take down a million magic crystals. If this kind of consumption is small, the empire can still bear it, but if it is used like other siege vehicles, the empire will not be able to support it, no matter how thick the family is. The officer said with a smile.

"Just that shot, a million were defeated? A million gold coins? God, I said why the Central Army didn't use this big guy at the beginning, it turned out that it was really a luxury choice to use it. Li Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead again and said, although he has never had any concept of money, but he can't accept it even if he hits a million with such a shot.

"Of course, if it can really be used arbitrarily, then our Tianlan Empire would have already unified the entire continent, and even the Leiteng Continent on the other side of the river would not be spared. This time, it is only that the empire needs a quick battle to allow our central army to use this magic crystal cannon. ”

"Hehe, if this magic crystal cannon can be launched one more time, our Central Army will be able to kill a lot of people, we should be content." Li Yi said lightly, now Li Yi no longer has the surprise just now.

Li Yi saw that several mages before the magic crystal cannon were still forming handprints, and it was estimated that they would bombard again. At this time, the Vanessa rebels in the city were already a little panicked, and seeing that this big guy under the city seemed to have a tendency to launch, the soldiers defending the city with their muzzles became worried. Some have even given up on holding their fortifications, and have begun to fold their hands and pray for themselves in advance.

Just when Li Yi thought that the magic crystal cannon would bombard the city wall again, Li Yi found that several strong men in front of the cannon body suddenly turned the muzzle of the cannon and pointed it at the gate of Beihua City.

At this time, General Luo Ning, who was sitting in the center of the army, also suddenly raised the long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly with all his strength: "All the knights belonging to the Central Army, prepare to charge." ”

The old general Luo Ning is also a master of martial arts, this shout, even in the current chaotic situation, Li Yi and they can really hear the old general's voice.

Just as the general's order fell, the magic crystal cannon finally erupted again. A huge ball of light flew towards Beihua City again, but this time it hit the city gate accurately. In the face of this huge impact, the heavy city gate made of solid wood and iron sheet could not resist and broke in response.

At the moment when the city gate was broken, General Ronin shouted: "All knights, charge!" ”

Li Yi and the commanders of several knight orders were ready to charge at the first shout of the old general, and now that the old general's military order was issued again, several people did not need to give orders, they all rushed out with their horses, and the tens of thousands of soldiers behind them also followed and rushed out at the same time.

Faced with the breaching of the city gates, the defenders of the city became even more frightened. The archers in the city held their longbows, and they didn't know whether it was better to shoot the soldiers or the siege soldiers under the city.

The knights of the Order were all dressed in good armor, and ordinary bows and arrows like the one in the city could not penetrate their armor. Therefore, the knights were not afraid to charge, but they kept their heads down tightly as they marched to prevent being shot through the heads by the enemy.

Although Li Yi's riding skills were not the best, he was the first to respond when he charged, so the Second Knights led by him became the first knights to attack Beihua City.

After entering the city, Li Yi did not rush to continue to kill in the city. Instead, he abandoned his horse in an instant, turned around violently, and rushed towards the city. At the moment of rushing out, Li Yi did not forget to shout: "Kill all the enemy troops in front of the gate and assist the friendly troops to enter the city." After speaking, Li Yi picked up the holy sword Roland and rushed towards the rebels defending the city.

After entering the city, Li Yi did not show mercy in the face of this group of rebels who had lost the heart of resistance, and made a swift move, instantly clearing a bloody path for the friendly troops under the city. When the soldiers under the city set up the siege ladder, Li Yi did not forget to stay aside to buy them time to go to the city.

Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers charging together, but a city gate was not wide enough after all, when Li Yi led some of his subordinates to take down all the city walls, as far as the eye could see, Li Yi found that there were still most of the cavalry pouring into the city.

Seeing that the victory on this side was decided, Li Yi did not delay any longer, and ran along the city wall towards the city gate in other directions.

The cavalry under the city saw the direction of Li Yi's attack, and without waiting for Li Yi to give an order, they all followed with a comprehension and killed all the way to another city gate.

After a bloody battle for half a day, the knights of the Central Army finally entered the city, and several other city gates were also breached, and the city was full of soldiers of the Central Army.

Li Yi thought that this battle photo could be regarded as over. But when he walked down the city wall with his sword, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in the distance: "There are still a large number of rebels around the Duke's Palace, brothers, kill and attack." ”

Hearing this shout, Li Yi was also a spirit. I didn't expect it to be such a defeat, and Duke Vanessa was ready to fight until the last moment.

Looking at a large number of soldiers rushing in the direction of the Duke's Palace, Li Yi suddenly remembered what Danny had said to him before: "Li Yi, if you can, I hope you can finally give your adults a decent death." "Although Duke Vanessa spared himself just yesterday, the current situation has doomed the old duke to life. Li Yi thought to himself: "If you can, let me kill you with my own hands."
