After confirming the incompetence of Ayla and the Ligurian navy, Impolita returned his energy to the siege of Constantiniya. The day after the messenger left, Yinpolita participated in the siege.
She put on the golden armor she got from the Temple of Delphi. Under the sun, the armor shone brightly, its luster was no less than that of the sun in the sky!
Such eye-catching armor naturally received the key "care" of crossbows. Yinpolita smiled and brushed away several flying crossbows, suddenly raised the bow and arrow she got from the Temple of Delphi, pulled the bowstring and fired several times in the air. She didn't nock an arrow, but the sunlight turned into arrows, accurately knocking down all the flying crossbows!
The real bow of Apollo, the sun god! Unlike the fake bow in Dust's hand that breaks when pulled, it can shoot out light out of thin air in the dark, and it can also turn sunlight into arrows during the day!
After blocking all the arrows, Yin Bolita finally pulled out an arrow and shot it into the sky! The arrow flew into the air and suddenly shot out a bright light as bright as the sun, which illuminated the entire battlefield and made it difficult for people to open their eyes!
When the light gradually dimmed, everyone's eyes turned to Yin Bolita on the battlefield. She raised the bow of Apollo, the sun god, majestically to the sky. If her hair hadn't been silver, people might have mistaken her for Apollo!
A cruel smile appeared on Yin Bolita's face.
"Just enjoy the sunshine while you can, you'll never get another chance."
She took out the arrow for the second time and pierced the arrow into her arm, staining it with her own blood. Then, she pulled up her bow with an exaggerated movement and pointed it at the sun in the sky.
"For my protection to become like this, this is the consequences for you!"
She shot an arrow stained with her own blood into the sky. The arrow flew into the air like the previous arrow, but what exploded was darkness. The darkness, red with a little blood, spread across the sky, and soon covered the entire city, as if a dark red umbrella was held above Constantiniya.
Yin Polita took out another arrow, pierced into his body as before, was stained with his own blood, and then shot into the sky. She shot ten arrows in a row until her magic power was exhausted, and then she turned around and returned to the siege camp.
Throughout the day, the sky over Constantiniya was covered in such dark red, until night came, when the pure darkness wiped out the red from the sky. The people of Constantiniya waited anxiously until daytime the next day, but the sky was still dark red, without a trace of light.
People are going crazy. The first to become agitated were the priests of the temple. They were barefoot and with their hair disheveled, shouting on the street that Constantiniya was cursed by Apollo. The priests' words stirred up more people, making the whole city panic.
Constantiniya's envoy came to the siege camp for the second time, asking to see the lords of the Alemannic Federation, especially to see Yinpolita, who missed the arrow. But before the envoy spoke, Yinpolita said coldly: "I am not in the mood to listen to Constantiniya's envoy right now."
"Basileus has carefully considered your opinions..."
"I told you, I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense right now." Yin Bolita interrupted the messenger again, and then stretched her feet forward, "However, if you can lick the soles of my shoes clean, maybe my I’ll feel better.”
In a diplomatic situation, this was an extremely serious insult to the Qiqiu Empire. The messenger turned away with a dark face.
Constantiniya seemed to be abandoned by the sun, and the sky on the third day was the same as the previous two days, dark red.
On that day, the Alemannic Federation once again launched a fierce attack on the Theodosian Wall.
That night, a new messenger arrived at the siege camp. Before Yin Polita could speak, he took the initiative to kneel on the ground and crawled towards Yin Polita's thighs. Yin Bolita chuckled, suddenly kicked the messenger away, and threw his shoe in front of the messenger.
"Don't try to take advantage of me," Yinpolita said. "Just lick my shoes dry."
Without saying a word, the new messenger took the shoe and licked it up and down carefully. This kind of obedience made Yin Bolita frown: "You are not a high-ranking official, you are just a servant, right?"
The messenger was stunned for a moment, and Yin Bolita knew that he was right.
"You Basileus will take advantage of the loopholes...that's all, tell me, what is his proposal?"
When the envoy heard this, he was overjoyed. He nodded and bowed quickly and said: "Basileus said that he is willing to pay ten times the amount, as long as you can retreat...and return the sun."
Yin Bolita laughed contemptuously, and then shook her head.
"That was a proposal made two days ago. You didn't agree at the time. Do you think you can still negotiate at this price now?"
The messenger was stunned: "Then... what is the price now?"
"You still have to give ten times the gold, but you have to add something. Doesn't your Basileus want to be friends with the Alemannic Federation? How about this -"
Yin Bolita paused deliberately, and then continued:
"There are thirty-six Alemanni lords here now. How about you choose the daughters of thirty-six high-ranking officials and take them back one by one?"
As soon as these words came out, even the groveling new envoy's face was stunned, and he could only hear him stammering: "How can Basileus agree to such a proposal?"
"Ah, I forgot one more thing. Your Princess Anna has an engagement with the governor's son. Originally, it was the governor's son who got married, but now in this way, let us take the little princess back with us. How about it?"
"Are you serious?" the envoy asked in disbelief, "Even if we fail completely, there is no way we will accept this kind of proposal!"
"In this case, we have no choice but to continue attacking Constantiniya."
Yinpolita stepped off the chair, smiled and took the shoe from the messenger's hand with her toes.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Once Constantiniya falls, it won't just be the daughters of thirty-six high-ranking officials. There are 40,000 soldiers here, and 80,000 will have to be chosen from among your wives and daughters. Let’s go?”
Eighty thousand, this number is almost equal to the number of young women in the entire Constantiniya. The messenger left Yinbolita's camp with a blue face and a gray face.
This incident quickly spread to the ears of other lords of the Alemannic Federation.
"What's going on?" The Duke of Saxony hurried over, "Since the enemy is ready to pay ten times the amount, what else are we fighting for?"
"Don't worry, just wait." Yin Bolita opened a new bottle of red wine and poured a glass for the Duke of Saxony. "Just tomorrow, I will send Constantinier a new gift."
