Several violent explosions came from the city gate at the east gate of Phoenix Taitung Gate, and the final cleaning was over. The soldiers of the Oplu Empire army covered with gray on their bodies looked inside from outside. No one cheered and no one was happy. They walked in tentatively, fearing that a cold arrow would be shot from somewhere out of sight.

The soldiers guarding this city left a psychological shadow on each of them. Perhaps even if these Opluts could return to their homeland alive, this battle was their deepest memory. Stepping on the rubble, they entered the city with deep and shallow feet. In fact, the Phoenix Platform is not big, but it is stuck in the most important place. It can accommodate up to tens of thousands of people, which is almost the same as the size of Fangu City in the northwest.

The city is ruined, and you can imagine how erratic the Oplus' artillery fire was. However, some of the far-fledged shells have fallen into the city, but almost all the houses near the city walls have been damaged.

There was a thick layer of dust on the Opluts' leather boots, and they came in with tiny steps, and no one even dared to speak loudly.

It seemed as if there were some prehistoric beasts hidden in this city, which made them afraid.

General Oplu, who was commanding the attack, walked into the city gate surrounded by hundreds of elite guards and found many new graves in the city. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that these were the last group of Black Flag soldiers who had withdrawn, and before leaving, he buried his comrade's body.

Lehman gave them only one hour, but they didn't leave immediately.

Raylington was stunned for a while, then stood solemnly and saluted the graves.

"This battle will be written into the history books of the empire and cannot belittle our enemies."

Raylington sighed and then breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he still took the Phoenix Platform, and the location here is too important. Even if His Majesty the Emperor is about to return to the country, even all the fleets in the eastern border have been ordered to return to the estuary to wait, but Ralington knew that the imperial army would still be back.

When Oplu's army arrived again, Phoenix Platform was the place where the horn of attack sounded.

"Search and see if there are anyone."

He waved his hand and ordered.

Each fifty-one team of Opruses began to search the city, but nothing was found. Then they found the Black Flag Army's granary in a remote place in the city. It seemed that there was very little food left in it. Even if it was calculated by a thousand people, it was not enough to eat for three days.

Obviously, this group of left-behind Black Flag Army guarded the Phoenix Platform with the determination to die.

Raylington walked around the city and found a row of houses a little special. This should be the place where the Black Flag Army once prepared weapons. There were some feather arrows inside, but there were not many.

"Enough ammunition and food"

Raylington sighed, thinking that if His Majesty Lehmann had not ordered these soldiers to leave proudly, how many Oplu soldiers would have fought to death at the last moment? Perhaps at this time, the fight was continuing in every alley.

He had seen how those Black Flag Army soldiers fought hand in hand. Last time Buicko took the attack, he was defeated by those Black Flag Army soldiers who were behind in the weapon and had special skills in killing. Although Buicko's soldiers were much worse than His Majesty Lehman's direct army, it was still an unforgettable scene.

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

After Ralington finished giving orders, he found a clean place to sit down and rest.

He had sent scouts to investigate the other side before, but he probably couldn't see the Black Flag Army's troops. He had been walking for six days and had already gone two or three hundred miles according to the marching speed of the infantry.

When he sat down, he found many soldiers observing around a huge thing. It was a very strange thing with a very irregular appearance. It looked like a huge sphere from a distance, but there were many twists on the surface of the sphere, as if something very fierce inside had been constantly hitting, but it did not come out in the end.

The first impression of Raylington was what kind of monument this thing should be.

The Oplu people had the habit of building monuments, so his first reaction was this. He knew the history of Phoenix Terrace and knew that the land that the Sui Dynasty once expanded eastward was stolen from the Chu State. Phoenix Terrace was a border town built after that war. It seemed to be common sense to build a monument in such a border town of great significance.

However, Raylington really didn't understand what the orb symbolized.

You should know that people in this era do not have the world, but actually a concept of circle.

So Raylington certainly won't think about the unified world.

He got up and walked over quickly.

The sphere was placed on the largest open space in Phoenix Tower City, and there were no other buildings around it. Raylington looked at the surface of the sphere and could not recognize what material it was. It was not a stone, nor anything he had seen. He knocked it with his hands, and the sound was very dull.

It seems to be hollow inside.

Raylington subconsciously thought, was this a container?

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

He saw many traces on the ground.

"This thing was shipped recently."

Raylington suddenly reacted, and then some inspiration in his mind lit up, but the feeling was very blurry, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a moment. But he felt uneasy in his heart, and the thing in front of him that was unknown to him, which made him feel uneasy.

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

In the end, Ralington made a choice, and he thought it was necessary to investigate this thing. Before that, it would be better for Your Majesty to not come in first.

Just as his order was given, the brigade of musketeers in iron armor rushed in at the gate of the city. They were Emperor Leman's personal guard, the most elite soldiers of the entire Oplu Empire. Each of those soldiers was extremely strong, and the weapons in their hands were different from other soldiers.

After the soldiers came in, they began to set up defenses, and then they saw Lehman walking slowly in with his hands behind his back.

...

...

"What's this?"

Lehman looked at the huge sphere in front of him. This thing could be the size of two houses.

"I don't know... Judging from the traces on the ground, this thing should have been brought recently, and it should be extremely heavy..."

Raylington pointed to the broken blue bricks on the ground: "The bricks and stones were broken by rolling wood."

"Send someone to find the source."

Lehmann didn't know what this was, but he also felt that the reason why this thing was definitely extraordinary.

"This thing is so heavy, it's not easy to transport it. Let's go along the road to find it."

Raylington gave an order and someone immediately went to do it.

"If... if this thing has any special significance or purpose, will it be related to Fang Jie's sudden withdrawal of troops?"

Leilington speculated: "Although Fang Jie did not seem to be a little panicked at this time, it is really difficult to understand. I really can't think of what it is, and it can make Fang Jie leave with almost all the troops. Now, we are the only people who can threaten him in Dongjiang. The Mu Mansion is not enough to make Fang Jie pay so much attention. It is rumored that Fang Jie met Mu Guangling after the battle at Malanshan Pass, which means that the two people reached an agreement. So it is speculated that it is impossible for the Mu Mansion to be the reason."

Leman's face was a little dark, and hesitated for a while before turning around and walking out of the city.

While walking, he ordered: "Pull in a few cannons and blow this thing away for me."

When he walked to the city gate, he paused again, then turned around and walked up the city wall along the horse road. He ordered dozens of iron-armored guards to stand in front of him and then look into the city through the gaps of the crowd. He wanted to leave, but the curiosity made him reluctant to leave.

In his understanding, this thing may be dangerous.

But the danger he was just something similar to gunpowder.

This distance is safe enough.

Several artillery pieces were pushed in from outside the city gate by soldiers. Raylington personally commanded the cannon in front to reload the shells first. A few minutes later, the cannon spit out a ball of flame, and a shell accurately hit the ball. The sound of explosion came out, and smoke and flames exploded at the same time.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipates

People were stunned.

That orb was not destroyed at all!

Leilington's eyes were wide open. He really didn't know what this thing was, how could it be so hard. Even if it was the wall of Phoenix Platform, at such a distance, at least a pit would be blown out. But there seemed to be only a black mark on this thing.

Raylington ran over and looked at it, and found that there was no crack on it.

He turned his head and looked at the city gate, not knowing what to do next. After fighting for so many years, it was the first time that Raylington encountered such a strange thing. The Black Flag Army inexplicably withdrew, and even a ball left here could not be damaged with a shell!

"Your Majesty said to continue bombing, and a few cannons will be bombed together."

An iron-armored soldier ran down to pass the order.

At this moment, Ralington felt that this thing might not be something very harmful, but that the Black Flag Army could not solve the puzzle after discovering it. However, when it was withdrawn, it was thrown away because it was too big and heavy and difficult to carry.

He ran back and ordered the artillery to continue bombing.

Three or four cannons were exerted at the same time, and balls of fireballs exploded on the sphere. Soon, bursts of smoke filled the city, and the sound hovered back and forth in people's ears and could not be removed for a long time. At least twenty cannons were fired in a row, and even the city wall had been cut off by a layer.

After the smoke cleared, Raylington ran over again.

I found that there was finally a crack on it, and it seemed that some strange smell came out of the crack. He leaned closer and smelled it. The smell was a little pungent, making his eyes a little awkward. He subconsciously took a step back and sneeze. This smell had never been smelled before, and it was not particularly bad, but it seemed to be very irritating.

He shook his head and walked back and ordered to continue bombardment.

far away

Before Yi Jian, the Oplu soldiers searched for nothing in the house, and several people stood side by side at the window and looked out.

“It’s so exciting!”

Xiang Qingniu lowered his voice: "Why am I so happy to see the foreigners so persistent about this thing?"

Ye Zhuhan's face looked a little bad: "I was thinking, if the shell of this thing is blown away and that kind of power spreads out, can we really protect ourselves?"

No one is sure.

They just had a speculation, but had not practiced it. After all, after the meteorite was sealed, it was impossible to open it casually. Moreover, it seems that it is not easy to open it.

"I've saved my energy."

Gai She shrugged indifferently: "Even if I split this thing, I will probably have to split it for a while... Why did you two think of using two realms to seal it? Neither of them are normal people."

"When did you take action? It seems like a crack is coming."

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

“Wait a little longer.”

Fang Jie was ready to go: "I guess I will see the power of this thing soon."
