Chapter 20 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop
"I dare not exceed the title of emperor's master." Lin Xitang did not move.
However, Emperor Hao leaned over and held Lin Xitang's arm. The mist swirled out from around him. The color was green and almost black. It filled the entire hall in just a few breaths. The center of the mist surged violently, like a storm sweeping across it, and appeared faintly.
An illusion of a flying snake with nine scales on its back.
For a moment, two huge black shadows passed by, and it turned out that the wings of the Soaring Snake were spread out from the blades.
Lin Xitang's usually calm expression was shattered to pieces at this moment.
The Soaring Snake is the emblem of the Great Qin Emperor's family, and the Golden Claw Mysterious Body, but there has never been any totem with two wings on it! Only a very few people vaguely know that the talent totems handed down from the Imperial Family are incomplete.
"The snake soared in the fields of Duguang, emerging from the bathing water, with golden claws, thunder horns, and wings covering the abyss." Emperor Hao said slowly: "This is the complete form of Taizu's gifted totem."
Lin Xitang's held arm trembled slightly, and suddenly a thin layer of light blue ice appeared out of thin air from his elbow, quickly spreading to his fingertips.
The nearby green and black mist immediately separated into several strands, condensed into the shape of five fingers, and picked off the thin ice. The thin ice turned into black flames after leaving the body, and the core of each flower was as red as a drop of blood, and then was pinched out by the five fingers in the palm.
.
"Without the Tiger and Wolf Elixir refined by Gu Tuohai, wouldn't it be possible to suppress the old wounds?" Emperor Hao couldn't see any emotion on his face.
Lin Xitang leaned into the sofa, closed his eyes weakly, and said nothing.
"Aren't you happy? We can finally know that we are on the right path. From the time Taizu planned the 'Zai Yao Beginning' to the present, it has been a full one hundred and twenty years, and countless emperors' blood and Tian Yanzhi have been sacrificed.
opportunity, but no one knows whether it makes sense to do so. Now that the talent totem has awakened, it means that Dawn is truly resurrecting and growing. In this world of eternal night, darkness is no longer the only favor of gods, and the revival of the human race only requires time.
.”
Lin Xitang's expression softened and he whispered: "Congratulations, Your Majesty." After a pause, he sighed softly: "Then your Majesty should understand what is going on with the opening of a new world?"
Emperor Hao's eyes changed slightly. Rumors about the new world started after Lin Xitang entered Tianji Pavilion. However, he did not ask him where he got the news. He simply replied: "It is true, but the world itself is unknown."
"If the current situation changes in such a major way, expanding the land-floating war is not a good choice."
"The trees are still but the wind is not stopping. With the current situation on the floating land, we cannot stop the war if we want to." Emperor Hao explained patiently: "So if they want to fight, let them fight, otherwise the people will be uncontrollable.
, if there is no opportunity here, they will look for opportunities elsewhere.”
Lin Xitang suddenly opened his eyes.
"Since they want your authority, let's see if they have the ability to seize it." Emperor Hao said lightly: "King Qingyang once said that there are so many powerful people and Tianji masters in Da Qin, and they can't take all the credit.
Let you do it alone. I think he is right."
Lin Xitang couldn't help but frowned. Zhang Boqian's original words probably meant this, but the wording was much more unpleasant.
"This time the military has sufficient reasons to ask for a war, and it is rare that the King of Immortality is not stingy with the strength of the Imperial Guard. So as they wish, there will be no harm if they can take the Floating Land into their pocket. As for who is planning what, what is the plan?
What, you will eventually find out as the war progresses."
Lin Xitang looked at Emperor Hao with a slightly changed expression, as if he was meeting his monarch for the first time, and asked in a deep voice: "Then who is leading the other main lines?"
Emperor Hao said slowly: "Lin Qing, as long as you can walk down the mountain by yourself, no one will stop you."
Then the hall fell into a deathly silence.
When Emperor Hao walked out of Tianji Pavilion, it was already the zenith of the moon. He stood on the white jade stone steps, overlooking the imperial capital in the night, then raised his hand across his eyes, clenching his palm into a fist, as if he was holding the lights of thousands of houses.
"Father, you see, I have finally turned into the person I once hated the most." The Great Qin Supreme said to himself with his shoulders covered with moonlight.
Under the steps, in the shadows, stood several servants, turning a deaf ear, saying nothing, and not moving, like respected puppets.
There is no day or night in the void, only fierce battlefields.
There was still some time before the Yongye reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, and the warships of the empire almost went crazy, firing their artillery fire at their opponents. When the two Archduke-class ships saw that the reinforcements had arrived, they changed their strategy and stopped fighting.
They all rush to the outside.
When they insisted on breaking through, the Empire had almost nothing to do. The two destroyers desperately blocking the way were directly blasted into two pieces by the main gun of the Grand Duke's ship. The Grand Duke's ship directly rammed over the still burning wreckage and rushed out of the Imperial battleship.
of encirclement.
Not far away, the right minister stood in the bridge, which was still filled with the thick smell of gunpowder smoke, staring at the two Grand Duke ships, wondering what he was thinking. He suddenly turned around and said in a hoarse voice: "Transmit the order! This ship
Make a roundabout speed at full speed and stop that ship for me..."
Halfway through his words, his voice suddenly became hoarse. An old minister smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, our ship is almost immobile. There is nothing we can do to stop it."
There are advisers on the bridge. What they are usually good at is conspiracy. Even if they have the force level, they have almost no experience in frontal combat. But what the right minister sees now is that everyone is injured and they are just wrapped up hastily.
The person who was most seriously injured had his whole calf missing and was leaning on the table, standing on one leg.
The right minister still remembered that this man was famously timid and afraid of death, but now, he still had a bright eye and could kill the enemy at any time. The injuries on his body seemed to have been completely forgotten.
The other side of the bridge was completely scorched black, and there was a large hole in the bulkhead. Cold air kept blowing in, but it could not dissipate the scorching heat of the embers.
There were many corpses scattered on the floor, including several counselors and crew members, and more of them were warriors of the dark race. When the fierce battle reached its most difficult point, a large number of dark race warriors launched a boarding battle regardless of the damage, trying to capture these people.
A battleship. If the imperial flagship can be captured, it will be a heavy blow to the morale and reputation of the entire empire.
Those who successfully broke into the bridge were all strong men. One of the marquis and two earls were killed by the right-hand man himself. The other advisers also fought to the death. No matter what their usual style was, at this critical moment of life and death,
, no one showed any signs of flinching.
After seeing his subordinates who were still alive, the right minister nodded slowly and said: "You and others have not failed me."
This is the highest praise that the right minister can say. Everyone was just happy, but the right minister sighed: "It's a pity that people can plan things, but God can make things happen. But I have failed the empire."
He raised his left hand and said slowly: "Send the order to the entire army to withdraw..."
Once the order is given, it is a foregone conclusion. Although the imperial fleet is far superior based on the results of the battle, this battle was lost. The two Archduke-class battleships were released and they failed to gain control of outer space. For the entire battle situation,
The impact will be fatal. Perhaps the Battle of Floating Land will be protracted from now on and become a black hole that swallows the flesh and blood of the empire's soldiers. Such a protracted war is the last thing the empire wants to face. I am afraid that if it persists for a while, it will withdraw its troops.
Therefore, this order was given for an extra long time. Even the right prime minister himself did not want to say it subconsciously.
The word "retreat" has lingered on the lips several times. Just when he was about to spit it out, a counselor suddenly shouted: "Then, what is that?!"
The right minister was startled, and turned to look in the direction of the man's finger. He saw a large shadow suddenly covering the battlefield, and slowly moving over the battleships that were still fighting fiercely.
In the darkness, a brilliant light suddenly appeared, with a seven-color trail, and it fell towards an Archduke-class ship that had just rushed to the outside.
The stern of the battleship was hit by a colorful light, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the entire hull was blown down. When the fire passed, a big hole was blown out of the stern of the ship, and the entire battleship
The speed is slightly slow, and obviously the power system is also slightly affected.
The power of this blow was truly astonishing, but some people were even more surprised than the generals of the empire.
In a battleship of the Yongye reinforcements in the distance, Lin Jiaer jumped up from his seat, gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's him!"
A curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jia'er, on which was an elderly demon with a majestic face. His eyes were like lightning, he stared at Lin Jia'er and said coldly: "What are you so alarmed about?"
Lin Jia'er stood up and saluted, saying: "Seeing that there is still an ambush from the human race, I became panicked for a moment. Please forgive me."
The elder demon snorted and said: "What a panic! No wonder you will lose most of the fleet in your hand. Now that you are serving under my command, you have to behave at least. If it is not going to be good in the battle later,
, I won’t look at anyone’s favor, I will punish you as you should!”
"I remember." Lin Jiaer looked very well-behaved.
The elder demon was finally satisfied and dispersed the light curtain.
Lin Jiaer gritted his teeth secretly, his face looked a little ferocious, and he glared fiercely at the place where the light curtain appeared. At this time, a confidant next to him lowered his voice and said, "Isn't that your Shen Lu?"
"Shut up!" Lin Jiaer glared at him fiercely, making him swallow all the words he said next.
Lin Jiaer looked into the distance with a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking.
The Yongye reinforcement fleet accelerated again, trying to rush to the battlefield. On the battlefield, the Grand Duke's ship that was hit unexpectedly was a little panicked at first, but quickly adjusted. It was not in a hurry to escape, but circled in place and resisted on the spot.
, while summoning the remaining Evernight battleships to reorganize the defense line.
When the Archduke's ship moves forward, it becomes extremely difficult. The Imperial battleships are enough of a threat to it, but they don't dare to attack it head-on. Any battleship below the battleship is likely to be destroyed in one hit if it is hit by its main gun.
, even the bravest captain would not dare to get too close.
At this moment, another colorful ray of light came down from the void. This time, the Grand Duke's ship was well prepared. Dozens of secondary guns fired in concentrated fire, and it was obvious that a strong man personally operated the cannons. The shots were extremely accurate.
The colorful rays of light exploded in the air.
But before the people on the ship could cheer, a huge shadow enveloped the entire Grand Duke's ship!
The Hall of Valor fell from the sky and hit the Grand Duke's ship hard. In front of the Hall of Valor, the Grand Duke's ship was nothing more than a small boat. The three ships combined were as long as the Hall of Valor. After being hit by the Hall of Valor, it immediately rolled out.
, the entire impact area was dented, obviously the damage was serious.
However, this is not the end of the misfortune, it is just the beginning.
