    Chapter 1,198 Waiting for that moment to arrive Several violent explosions came from the city gate of the east gate of Phoenix Terrace, and the final cleanup work came to an end.  The soldiers of the Opuru Empire Army covered with a layer of dust looked in from the outside. No one cheered and no one was happy. They walked in tentatively, fearing that a cold arrow would be shot from some invisible place.  The soldiers guarding this city left a psychological shadow on each of them. Perhaps even if these Opulus people can return to their homeland alive, this battle will be their most profound memory.  Stepping on the rubble, they entered the city one step at a time.  In fact, Phoenix Tower is not big, but it is stuck in the most important place.  This place can accommodate up to more than ten thousand people, which is almost the same size as Fangu City in the northwest.  The ruins of the city are in ruins, and one can imagine how fierce the Aupulus artillery fire was.  Only some of the far-reaching cannonballs fell into the city, but almost all the houses in the city near the city wall were damaged.  There was a thick layer of dust on the leather boots of the Opulus. They came in with tiny steps, and no one even dared to speak loudly.  It seemed like there was some wild beast hiding in this city, which made them afraid.  General Rellington of Opulu, who commanded 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 startled, and suddenly realized that these were the last group of Black Flag Army soldiers to evacuate, and they buried the bodies of his colleagues before leaving.  Lyman only gave them an hour, but they did not leave immediately.  Rellington was stunned for a while, then stood upright and saluted those graves with a military salute.  "This battle will be written into the history books of the empire, and we cannot belittle our enemies." Rellington sighed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.  After all, we still won the Phoenix Tower, the location here is too important.  Even though His Majesty the Emperor is about to return to the country, and even all the fleets in Eastern Xinjiang have been ordered to return to the seaport and wait, Rellington knows that the imperial army is still coming back.  When Opuru¡¯s army arrives again, the Phoenix Tower is where the attack horn will sound.  "Search to see if there is anyone." He waved his hand and ordered.  A small group of fifty soldiers began to search the city, but nothing was found.  Then they discovered the Black Flag Army's granary in a remote part of the city. It seemed that there was very little food left in it. Even if it was calculated as a thousand people, it would not be enough to feed them for three days.  ¡°Obviously, these black flag troops who stayed behind were determined to protect the Phoenix Tower.  Rellington walked around the city and found another row of houses that were a bit special. This should be where the Black Flag Army once stocked weapons. There were still some feather arrows inside, but there were not many left.  ¡°Running out of ammunition and food¡± Rellington sighed, thinking to himself, if His Majesty Leman hadn¡¯t ordered these soldiers to leave proudly, how many Opulus soldiers would these crazy tiger-like Black Flag Army soldiers have fought to death at the last moment?  Perhaps at this time, fighting is going on in every alley.  He has seen how those Black Flag Army soldiers fought hand to hand. The last time Bekduo led the attack, he was beaten to a pulp by those Black Flag Army soldiers with backward weapons and extremely skilled killing skills in close combat.  Although Bekedo's soldiers were much inferior to His Majesty Leman's direct army, it was still an unforgettable scene.  "Go and report to your Majesty that there is no one in the city." After Rellington finished his instructions, he found a relatively clean place to sit down and rest.  He had previously sent scouts to explore the other side, and he estimated that he would not be able to see the Black Flag Army brigade. They had been walking for six days, and based on the infantry's marching speed, they had already traveled two to three hundred miles.  When he sat down, he found many soldiers observing a huge thing.  It was a very strange thing with a very irregular shape. It looked like a huge sphere from a distance, but there were many distortions on the surface of the ball, as if there was something very ferocious inside that had been constantly  It hit, but didn't come out in the end.  Rellington¡¯s first impression was that this thing should be some kind of monument.  The Opulus people have the habit of building monuments, so his first reaction was this.  He knew the history of Fenghuang Terrace, and knew that the land that had been expanded eastward during the Sui Dynasty was snatched from the Chu State. Fenghuang Terrace was a border town built after that war.  It seems logical to build a monument in such an important border town.  However, Rellington really couldn¡¯t figure out what the sphere symbolized.  You must know that people in this era do not have the concept that the world is actually a circle.  So Rellington is willing to?I don¡¯t think about unifying the world.  He stood up and walked over quickly.  This sphere is placed on the largest open space in Phoenix Terrace City, and there are no other buildings around it.  Rellington looked at the surface of the sphere and couldn't identify what material it was made of.  It wasn't a stone, or anything in his mind.  He knocked with his hand, the sound was dull.  It seems to be hollow inside.  Rellington subconsciously thought, could this be a container?  He walked half a circle around the sphere, and then his expression suddenly changed.  He saw many marks on the ground.  "This thing was shipped recently." Rellington suddenly reacted, and then some inspiration came to his mind, but this feeling was very vague, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a while.  But there was a kind of uneasiness in his heart. This thing in front of him, whose purpose and origin was unknown, made him feel uneasy.  ¡°Go and report to your Majesty, please don¡¯t enter the city!¡± In the end, Rellington made a choice. He thought it was necessary to investigate this thing.  Before that, it would be better for Your Majesty not to come in.  Just after his order was given, a group of musketeers wearing iron armor rushed in at the city gate.  They were Emperor Lyman's personal guards, the most elite soldiers in the entire Opuru Empire.  Each of those soldiers is extremely strong, and the weapons in their hands are different from other soldiers.  After these soldiers came in, they began to set up defenses, and then they saw Lyman slowly walking in with his hands behind his back.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡°What is this?¡± Lyman looked at the huge sphere in front of him. This thing could be as big as two houses.  "I don't know Judging from the traces on the ground, this thing should have been obtained recently, and it should be extremely heavy" Rellington pointed to the broken green bricks on the ground: "It was pushed in with a rolling log. The bricks were  There are a lot of broken stones." "Send someone to find the source." Lyman doesn't know what it is, but he also feels that the reason why it is here is extraordinary.  "This thing is so heavy, it's not easy to transport it. Just keep looking along the road." Rellington gave the order, and someone immediately went to take care of it.  "Ifif this thing has any special meaning or use, could it be related to Fang Jie's sudden withdrawal of troops?" Rellington speculated: "Although Fang Jie's withdrawal does not seem a bit panicked, it is indeed difficult to understand.  I really can't think of anything that could make Fang Jie leave with almost all his troops. The only people who can threaten him in Eastern Xinjiang are us.  Fang Jie met Mu Guangling after the Guan Na battle, which means the two of them reached an agreement, so it is speculated that it cannot be because of the Mu Mansion. " Lyman's face turned a little dark after hesitating for a while.  Walk outside the city.  As he walked, he ordered: "Pull in some cannons and blast this thing away for me." When he reached the city gate, he paused again, then turned around and followed the horse path up the city wall.  He ordered dozens of armored guards to stand in front of him, and then looked into the city through the gaps in the crowd.  He wanted to leave, but his curiosity made him reluctant to leave.  In his opinion, this thing may be dangerous.  But the danger he thought was something similar to gunpowder.  This distance is safe enough.  Several artillery pieces were pushed in from outside the city gate by soldiers. Rellington personally directed the cannon to load the shells first.  A few minutes later, the artillery spit out a ball of flame, and a shell accurately hit the sphere. A bursting sound was heard, and smoke and flames exploded at the same time.  When the smoke cleared, people were stunned.  That sphere was not damaged at all!  Lellington¡¯s eyes were widened. He really didn¡¯t know what this thing was and how it could be so hard.  Even if it were the city wall of Phoenix Tower, a cannon blast from such a distance would at least create a hole.  But there seems to be only a black mark on this thing.  Rellington quickly ran over and took a look, and found that there wasn¡¯t even a crack on it.  He turned to look at the city gate, not knowing what to do next.  After fighting for so many years, this was the first time for Rellington to encounter such strange things and strange things.  The Black Flag Army withdrew inexplicably, and even a ball left here couldn't be hit with artillery shells!  "His Majesty said to continue bombarding, and fire several cannons at the same time." An armored soldier ran down to deliver the order.   Rellington had a feeling in his heart at this time. This thing may not be a very harmful thing, but the Black Flag Army could not solve the mystery after finding it, but when they evacuated it, it was too big and heavy.  It was difficult to carry it with me, so I left it behind.  He ran back and ordered the artillery to continue firing.  Three or four artillery pieces fired at the same time, and balls of fireballs exploded on the sphere.  Soon, bursts of smoke filled the city, and the sound circled back and forth in people's ears, lingering for a long time.  At least twenty cannons were fired in a row. With such intensity of shooting at one place, even a layer of the city wall has been shaved off.  After the smoke cleared, Rellington ran over again.  He found that there was finally a crack on it, and there seemed to be some strange smell coming out of the crack. He got closer and smelled it. The smell was a bit pungent, and it made his eyes feel awkward.  He subconsciously took a step back and sneezed.  I have never smelled this kind of smell before. I can't say it is particularly unpleasant, but it seems to be very irritating.  He shook his head, walked back and ordered the bombardment to continue.  In the distance, in a house that the Oprus soldiers had searched but found nothing before, several people stood side by side at the window and looked out.  "It's so exciting!" Xiang Qingniu lowered his voice: "How can I be so happy to see foreigners so obsessed with this thing?" Ye Zhuhan's face was a little ugly: "I'm thinking, if the shell of this thing is blasted open,  , when that kind of power spreads, can we really protect ourselves? "No one is sure.  They just had a guess, but they didn¡¯t practice it.  After all, after the meteorite is sealed, it cannot be opened casually.  Moreover, it seems that it is not easy to open it.  "It saves me effort." Gai She shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Even if I chop this thing, it will probably take a while Why did you two think of sealing it with two realms in the first place? You are not normal people.  "When are you going to take action? It seems like there's a crack," Shi Wan said, leaning against the crack in the window and looking out.  "Wait a minute." Fang Jie was ready to go: "I guess we will see the power of this thing soon." Including him, five people stood side by side, where is the barrier?  Even Gaishe held his breath and looked at what was happening outside.
