Chapter 100 Go to war
The arrival of the Imperial envoy sounded the silent trumpet, and the bloody battle officially began, and hordes of young heroes swarmed from all over the empire and rushed into the Iron Curtain without hesitation. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The Dark World also regarded this bloody battle as a grand event, and the official resolution of the Eternal Night Council also offered a mouth-watering reward, including not only all kinds of military resources, but even knighthoods, territories, and high-ranking bloodlines. Under the huge reward, the adult warriors of many tribes poured out, and even the older children were brought out.
At this moment, if you have a pair of eyes that are high above, you can see that on the Eternal Night Continent, the warriors of the Eternal Night and Dawn camps are approaching like two tide lines.
At the edge of the Iron Curtain, a small city that was originally inconspicuous was now home to many Imperial troops, and for a moment there were more soldiers than the original inhabitants of the city. Most of the buildings in the center of the city were requisitioned, and the city lord's mansion was turned into a headquarters. This small city is the place chosen by Zhang Boqian and Lin Xitang.
On the sand table that occupies a third of the room, the rolling hills, the meandering river, and the scattered settlements are scattered and detailed, as if they were on the ground. If you look closely, you can see that the surface of the key passes, cities, bases and other heavy land models is also engraved with Force arrays, emitting various colors of light, representing different combat power and combat readiness.
A deep black arc passed through the Terran-controlled zone, and most of the Heavy Earth models near the side of the Dark Frontier were lit up, a sign of the completion of the battle readiness mobilization.
As the last Imperial envoy finished reading his report, the towns in the western part of Trois-Rivières lit up on the sandbox.
The envoy closed the folder in his hand, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his back was as straight as a full bowstring. It's not that there's anything wrong with his report, in fact, most of the people in this war room, which is full of people with heads and epaulettes, are in a constant state of tension just like him.
The source of tension came from the man in a black and gold royal dress in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Zhang Boqian never said a word from the beginning to the end, and even kept his eyes on the window, but the invisible pressure always enveloped the audience.
Lin Xitang, who was sitting at the head of the long table of the sand table, raised his head from deep thought and said, "In this case, please pay attention to the movements of the dark territory at any time. Meeting. ”
The participants were quite eager to leave the war room, none of these generals from the major army corps of the empire and the headquarters of the expeditionary force were not killed from the sea of corpses and blood, but when Zhang Boqian and Lin Xitang were present at the same time, they behaved like rookies facing the instructor on the training ground.
Many people dared to breathe a sigh of relief when they walked out of the door, muttering to themselves in their hearts, and they didn't know what the Imperial Military Department thought, this time they actually assigned these two marshals who had long been clearly opposed to each other to a battlefield.
The room was quickly empty, Lin Xitang stood up, walked to the other end of the sand table, reached out and picked up a mountain model and played with it in his hand, looking at the large mountain area in front of him, as if thinking about something.
Zhang Boqian, who was by the window, turned around, swept his eyes to the only major general who was still in the war room, and said lightly: "Go out." ”
The Major General's Imperial uniform was a little different from the others, and the gold piping was not a simple line but a cloud map, which was the emblem of the Imperial Guard. Under Zhang Boqian's extremely coercive gaze, he didn't flinch, and still stood upright.
If there is a storm in Zhang Boqian's eyes, it will rise.
Lin Xitang's gentle voice broke the tense atmosphere, "Wei Sang, I don't have anything else to do here, you go and rest first." ”
The major general gave a military salute and withdrew without saying a word.
Zhang Boqian's voice couldn't hear any emotion, "Your Majesty gave you the Lei Cavalry Guard as a guard, are you worried that I will be unfavorable to you?" or ...... Spying on you?"
When Lin Xitang came to the Eternal Night Continent, he only brought a battalion of the Beifu Legion with him, and the General Lei Caiwei of the Guards appeared here, obviously just arrived in the last few days.
Lin Xitang frowned and said, "Brother Boqian, please be cautious about this matter." ”
Zhang Boqian walked to Lin Xitang's side, stood side by side with him on the sand table, leaned over slightly, glanced at the terrain in front of him, and said: "Although the Eternal Night is a first-level mobilization, the team that enters the Iron Curtain does not have any special combat power and powerful people, is the Eternal Night Council not interested in the things of the Heavenly Ghosts? Or do they already know what is in the Iron Curtain?"
At present, in the information obtained by the Empire, the dark camp has responded positively to the bloody war, which can be seen from the level of combat power projected, and the number of giants known to have come to the Eternal Night Council so far, even worse than the last time the Eternal Night War was inexplicably started. This is not in line with the dark race's usual style, but no matter how many secret spies are used on the Empire's side, they will not be able to get more information.
Lin Xitang said: "The original intention of the empire is to fight a bloody war, and the Eternal Night Council does not send much, so we can be more relaxed." ”
Zhang Boqian pointed to the area in front of him, "The red scorpion seems to have come to the Eternal Night Continent on a mission some time ago. His finger drew a circle, encompassing the western part of Trois-Rivières and the dark territory opposite, "It seems that this is the location, and the White Valve also had a team there. What's there?"
Lin Xitang was silent for a moment, "That's the seventh department of the military department in charge, and I don't know." ”
Zhang Boqian didn't ask, he only raised his hand and brushed it, and the Force array on the sand table was uncertain for a while.
At this moment, for the upper continent of the empire, the reaction of the dark world is secondary, and the eyes of the big people are all fixed on the country. The situation is delicate at the moment, and the existing gate valve pattern has been maintained for too long, and everyone wants to move. But when and how to move is key. The family of gate valves is the foundation of the country, which reorganization pattern in history is not a river of blood?
However, the political situation is a matter for the big men to consider, and for Qianye at this moment, it is still true to earn his military merits with a knife and a shot. After sending Zhao Yuying to Zhao Valve's floating boat, Qianye simply arranged the military affairs of the dark fire, packed his bags, left the Black Flow City, and entered the vast wilderness.
The bloody war has begun, and generally speaking, at the beginning of the war, a city with complete defense facilities like Blackstream City will not become the target of a large-scale attack, so Qianye plans to take this opportunity to go hunting in the surrounding area first, so as to get first-hand information on the battlefield.
His first choice is naturally the territory of his old friend, Count Spider Demon. This Count Stuka was seriously injured by Qianye and Zhao Yuying last time, and now he should not have fully recovered, and a third of his eastern territory was robbed by Qianye again, and he lost a lot of resources, which is the time when his vitality is seriously injured.
By any measure, the Spider County is the best target. Such fat meat, of course, can't fall into the mouths of others.
Qianye traveled all the way west and soon reached Silverstream Fjord. The construction of the fortifications is still in full swing, and several light cannons have been erected on the commanding heights, barely controlling the canyon channel. He didn't stay long, crossing the canyon and re-entering the territory of the Spider Count.
Thousand Nights bypassed the werewolf colony, aiming for the northeast of the depths, the viscount called the Black Live. There is another spider demon entrenched there, who is already a first-class viscount, and is said to be Stuka's older brother.
Between the Black Nest and the Silverstream Fjord, there is also Stuka's earl's ability, which was originally not in the plan of the Thousand Nights' recent westward expedition, due to geographical relations, unless the entire county is swallowed, it can only plunder resources and cannot occupy the land. But in the state of bloody war, it is different, and the double bounty from the empire and the Zhao lord makes it very profitable to simply kill the viscount.
Thousand Nights reins in their breath and travels through the mountains and forests unhurriedly, always in the best shape to meet the enemy. Not long after walking, a sudden gust of wind blew in the forest, and a huge beast rushed out of the forest and pounced fiercely towards Qianye.
Of course, this kind of attack couldn't threaten him, and Qianye's side of his body gave way to a frontal attack, and then the crimson fang was inserted into the side of the giant leopard's body, and the blade directly sank into the heart.
A blood-colored light flashed on Qianye's hand, and the rich essence blood rolled into his body along the blade. In the blink of an eye, the giant leopard fell to the ground, and its dark and blackened fur lost its luster.
After easily killing the giant leopard, Qianye frowned. With his current ability to restrain his aura and hide his tracks, in most cases, even the Earl would find it difficult to detect the tracks of a thousand nights. However, this giant leopard, whose strength was only level five after the rage, actually found him from a long distance and pounced straight at him, which made Qianye can't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Under the influence of the Iron Curtain, in less than half a month, the giant leopard not only became larger, but also darkened its coat color, and its essence and blood were several times that of the past, which was by no means normal. Qianye inspected the giant leopard's corpse and found that all the organs in its body showed signs of overgrowth, so there was a vague suspicion that this giant leopard might have overdrawn its vitality, which made its strength increase in the short term.
The next section of the road was not easy to walk, just over a mountain beam, Qianye encountered seven or eight attacks, all of which were fierce beasts of level five to seven after the rage. When they see a thousand nights, they attack wildly and never stop.
Of course, the beast did not pose a threat to Thousand Nights, but instead contributed a lot of essence blood, and the total amount was almost equal to that of a knight, but such an attack seriously hindered his speed. Qianye found that no matter how he hid his tracks, it seemed that in the eyes of these fierce beasts, it seemed that it was useless, whether it was a lion tiger or a mountain crocodile, he could almost be found from a distance of a kilometer, and then it was a crazy attack.
There is no military merit in killing fierce beasts, and Qianye really doesn't want to waste time on them, but these fierce beasts somehow easily see through Qianye's disguise. In the end, he really had no choice but to take the most clumsy but also the most direct way, that is, to take a straight line and kill a way out.
The path chosen by Thousand Nights was the mountainous area on the edge of the Earldom of Stuka, an area so barren that there was not even a single settlement of the Dark Race. The journey that was supposed to be fairly smooth in the plan ended up stumbling, and it took Qianye two full days to get out of the mountains, during which he killed nearly a hundred fierce beasts, large and small.
However, although there is no military merit, it is not nothing, Qianye has harvested a lot of precious materials from the fierce beasts, and the essence blood absorbed has also exceeded that of a third-class viscount.
When he walked out of the mountains, Qianye suddenly felt that the sea and the sky were wide, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even the iron curtain above his head didn't feel so depressing.
At this moment, a sigh full of joy was heard not far away, which made Qianye stunned. He turned his head to look and saw a young man of the Blood Clan who had just come out of the forest, his tattered clothes could still be vaguely seen in the original expensive and gorgeous texture, and his skin was covered with scars, either claw marks or tooth marks.
It seems that this boy, like Qianya, is being ravaged by fierce beasts in the forest. Originally, the blood clan relied on the release of blood qi to make all kinds of fierce beasts and poisonous insects retreat, but now it seems that it has also lost its effect.
