When the Tensei Province returned to kill and surround Li Huo's troops, the Russians no longer had any chance.
Because what they faced was a more powerful force and a higher level of command.
At the end of the Great War of Tianyuan, the world fell into a carnival of celebration. The soldiers returned home in glory, and the civilians wept with joy. But behind the fanatical celebration and joyful commemoration, the various countries engaged in a new round of competition and even conflict over the legacy of the Sky Demon.
Battles that were controlled to a certain degree of intensity broke out everywhere. Surrounding the military bases and secret communities of the Sky Demon, the most elite soldiers of the various countries launched a showdown that included probing and competition. Lives were constantly falling, and intelligence was constantly being collected. The strategists of the various countries evaluated the strength of the two countries from the visual results of the battle and tried to find the military weakness of the new competitor.
And the person in charge of this on the Empire's side was Empress Tensei.
Therefore, she knew how to resist Li Huo's all-conquering concentrated firepower, and also knew how to break through the incomparably sturdy power armor. She even had ideas on how to deal with the sharp metal weapons that assisted in the battle.
The warriors used the Imperial Army to shake the earth, and the powerful force cracked the hard stone slabs, causing the thick ground to loosen and fall apart. The power armor that was standing still and attacking immediately swayed. Although the excellent transmission system allowed Li Huo's warriors to wear heavy armor and walk as if they were flying and walking as if they were walking on flat ground, the Russians were forced to spend several times more energy to maintain their balance in this situation of shaking the earth and unstable footing.
With this move alone, a huge flaw appeared in the Russians' impregnable firepower formation. There were also warriors who dared to risk their lives to climb up first using the Rolling Hall Saber Technique and the Flying Racer Technique to quickly advance. Their wandering body technique avoided the firepower to the greatest extent, making it difficult for the enemy to aim.
They immediately rushed into Li Huo's formation.
For the knights of Li Huo, being close to the warriors of the Houtu often meant death.
Although the power armor could provide them with rock-solid defense and a huge increase in wrist strength, the enemy they were facing this time was not the domestic heretics, nor was it the ferocious Sky Demon, but the Houtu warriors who had special combat skills.
They did not need heavy blunt weapons. With only a pair of palms, they could use a special force technique called "soft force" to slap a tearing force that was enough to destroy the body into their bodies through the thick power armor.
For a time, muffled groans and screams could be heard.
The heavy power armor was thrown to the ground by a skillful force. A seemingly light but heavy cotton palm hit the head of the armor. The sturdy power armor was not damaged at all, but it had become an iron coffin. The person controlling the power armor spat out blood mixed with pieces of internal organs and died without a sound.
The sharp metal machines in the formation were also unable to provide any assistance.
This was because the enemy this time was the soldiers of Tensei Province.
Although their organization and training were not as good as the Imperial Guards, their individual combat power was far superior. To deal with this small power armor unit, the latter was more important.
Yinluo looked at the Li Huo people who were dying one after another, listened to their holy names and screams before they died, and sighed silently … She was not pitying the fate of these people, but worried about what would happen next, and what role the Divine Power of Flame played.
The "bandit leader" Makarov was soon captured alive.
He seemed to have the will to die and wanted to die a heroic death, but Zhao Yunlong and Courrier, who had been watching him, would not give him this opportunity.
Both Hou Tu and Li Huo made their moves at the same time. Zhao Yunlong used his exquisite martial arts skills to stop Li Huo's attempt to commit suicide. Kryl used his familiarity with Li Huo's power armor to remove Li Huo's armor at the first moment and searched for the poison and poison needles on him.
"The poison needles in his hair, the poison on his collar, and the miniature Red Sun Bullets in his necklace."
Courrier threw the things in his hand on the ground and said coldly, "As the envoy of Li Huo, you seem to have received a complete spy training from the Ministry of Legal Affairs. How strange."
Makarov spat, "Traitor!"
Empress Tensei came over and handed the heavy thermite machine gun back to Yinluo, and said lightly, "Thank you … You contributed greatly to killing Li Jiancheng this time."
Yin Luo stuttered, "You were the one who killed him!
Don't get involved with me! "
Empress seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "Then it depends on how the historian records it."
Zhang Yinluo seemed to want to say something, but he closed his mouth and sighed, "… God."
"Let's divert our attention."
After the weakness and disappointment just now, Empress had become tough again. Her eyes flashed with a sharp light, stabbing into Makarov's face as if to pierce through his soul.
"For example, this person …" she asked, "Does he have any value?"
Yin Luo glanced at Zhao Yunlong. After receiving Old Zhao's permission, she said with a bit of unease, "Earlier, when we ambushed Li Huo's embassy, we discovered some information and came to a conclusion … Someone on Li Huo's side seemed to have predicted today's huge change, so they instructed him to make some preparations in advance."
Empress's pupils suddenly shrank, and she cried out involuntarily, "What did you say?"
Her reaction was exactly the same as Zhao Yunlong's.
This guess was too absurd and too terrifying.
Today's change was the conspiracy of the Emperor and The Devil. If someone in Li Huo knew about today's change in advance, what did that mean?
What did it mean?
It was unimaginable.
At this moment, Makarov, who was kneeling on the ground, let out a hoarse laugh.
"Pitiful people of the Empire … You are about to meet your end."
It was said in the language of the Empire.
His pronunciation was perfect.
"I almost forgot, Emissary of Li Huo, you can understand our language."
Empress narrowed her eyes, "You privately led troops in the capital of the Empire, attacking the Crown Prince and myself. You cannot escape the death penalty, and there is no way for you to live. But if you know what's good for you, you can die quickly and painlessly. I can promise you this."
Makarov spat out a mouthful of bloody spittle.
"We don't have much time, and I have other things to do."
Empress looked at Zhao Yunlong and asked, "My subordinates are proficient in interrogating prisoners. Why don't we let them deal with this and make this guy talk as soon as possible?"
Zhao Yunlong shook his head, "You also know that we don't have much time. We have more suitable candidates."
She motioned to Yinluo, and Yinluo sent a signal to the sky. Soon, Princess Pingyang rushed over with Zhao Feihuang. Chao Po-tao didn't explain much, only saying, "Let Miss Zhao do it, it'll be faster."
Princess Pingyang put Miss Zhao down and ran to Empress Tensei's side, her face full of concern, "Sister …"
Empress looked at her sister and forced a smile. She suddenly reached out and hugged her sister tightly, whispering, "I'm fine … But I'll have to trouble you."
Ever since Ping Yang could remember, the two sisters had never acted so intimately. She was shocked and embarrassed. Hearing Empress Concubine's words, she asked, "What?"
Empress whispered, "Nothing … Nothing …"
And on the other side, Zhao Yunlong had already given Miss Zhao a concise order.
"This Russian has something we want in his head." Chao Po-tao said, "Let him speak."
Miss Zhao smiled, "It's finally time for this young miss to show off her skills."
Her eyes flashed with a light blue divine light.
That day in the Marquis Jingan fu, she had almost been controlled and fused with by the magic tool's soul. Fortunately, Sun Lang had come to her aid. Not only did she manage to keep her life, she also miraculously gained the ability to control the magic tool's mind.
This was a very suitable skill for the shrewd and black-bellied girl who liked to play with people's hearts. Through this kind of mental power, she could better manage the marquis's estate, cleverly gain more advantages in negotiations, and make people who saw her have a better impression of her.
This was the most basic operation.
If she used her full power, she could use her mental power to invade the target's mind, turning them into an obedient slave, even changing their memories, twisting their personality … …
This kind of forbidden power, even if Sun Lang did not remind her, she would not easily use it.
Because Miss Zhao understood human nature too well. If there was a first, there would be a second. She knew that she could not resist the temptation of manipulating people's hearts and doing whatever she wanted.
But this time, the situation was urgent, so she had to use something fierce.
Zhao Feihuang's phoenix eyes opened slightly, the divine light in her eyes like lightning, shooting into Makarov's eyes.
She touched the other's soul, probing the target's mind, opening the window to the soul and instilling her own will. She would touch the other's everything, control his thoughts, control his soul. Her mental tentacles were already close to the other's sea of consciousness, close to the most essential soul, the secret hidden in the depths of the soul.
Then … …
She touched a strong and pure azure color.
Wait a minute … …
In an instant, Miss Zhao's mind was greatly shaken. That azure soul suddenly exploded, the fierce counterattack almost injuring her mind.
As if she was drunk, Zhao Feihuang retreated several steps, a bit of blood flowing out of her small nose.
Zhao Yunlong held her up. "What's wrong?"
Miss Zhao did not care about wiping the blood off her nose. Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She pointed at the kneeling Makarov and said in horror, "He … … he's not human!
He's a Sky Demon! "
Everyone was shocked and shouted at the same time, "What?"
"You're also not of the same race as me … …" Makarov glared. "What are you?"
These words had already confirmed Zhao Feihuang's claim. Among the people, only Empress Tensei understood everything. She muttered, "Could it be that Inferno … … Could it be that this has been planned for a long time … …"
The shocking turn of events threw everyone into chaos.
Makarov's eyes lit up with the blue light of the Sky Demon.
It was like two blue flames burning again.
"It's all for naught … … I was recognized." He muttered. "I wanted to use this to start a war between the three countries … … So be it!"
After saying that, his entire body split apart and suddenly turned into a ball of azure flames. Like a comet, he charged in the direction of Crown Prince Jiancheng's corpse!
