When Qianye returned to the Hall of Valor, Carol was already waiting at the hatch and asked, "Is everything going well?"
"Of course. The Wolf King is not a fool. He knows what to do."
"Isn't it possible to bring him to our side? I mean, a true ally."
Qianye shook his head and said: "No. Until now, we still can't figure out the true purpose of the Wolf King, or even why he appeared in a neutral place. In this case, hastily forming an alliance will have serious consequences.
Big risk. At least for now, I still can’t trust him.”
Carol smiled slightly and said: "Then why do you trust me so much? And you also opened up part of the authority of the Hall of Valor to me?"
Qianye didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he hesitated a few words and tried to muddle through. There were of course many reasons. In the Battle of Floating Land, Carol guarded the Hall of Valor without fear of casualties and did her best. Comrades who have experienced life and death are naturally reliable allies.
However, Qianye himself felt a bit guilty when he said it. At this time, if he could no longer see Carol's intentions, then he was really stupid. But Qianye had been unwilling to blow this away.
There is a layer of mystery, and I would rather this matter never be revealed.
There was a hint of disappointment in Carol's eyes, and then she cheered up and said: "It's a good thing that you trust us. Let's go back to the Frost and Thunder Temple first, and I need to mobilize more people to help. I think, the relatives of the temple
The guards can be divided into at least two-thirds to follow our actions."
"It couldn't be better!" Qianye said happily.
Every member of the Guards of the Frost and Thunder Temple is a deacon, and they must have at least a cultivation level equivalent to that of a human warrior. This is the accumulation of the temple over the years and the essence of the entire family. Until now, the members of the Guards of the Frost and Thunder Temple are also
There are only a dozen of them. Carol transferred two-thirds, which is equivalent to adding seven or eight strong warriors to Qianye.
Qianye walked towards the bow of the ship. When he passed by the gun cabin, he suddenly remembered something. He reached out and patted a ballista next to him and said, "Remove this."
This crossbow gun was more than ten meters long, and the giant crossbow mounted on it was also several meters long. It was extremely powerful. It was obvious at first glance that it was the main gun of the cruiser class. But Qianye shot it with a casual shot,
And there was a dull thumping sound where it landed. It was not a metal sound at all, but more like wood.
Several soldiers came over, lifted the huge ballista up with all their strength, and dragged it to the elevator. Their steps were light and they didn't feel any difficulty at all. After the ballista was lifted, there was actually wood exposed under the base.
Pattern. This so-called main gun was originally a model carved from wood.
"Withdraw now, but the Wolf King will see you." Carol reminded.
Qianye smiled and said, "It's just for him to see."
"I really don't understand you." Carol shook her head and went back to her cabin.
Qianye, on the other hand, commanded the crew and soldiers to remove the camouflage of the door model and return it to the warehouse.
In the ancient totem battle fort, the Wolf King had just sat down in the study when he heard a rush of footsteps. A young priest pushed open the door and entered, saying: "Great Chief, you'd better take a look at this."
Seeing that he was anxious, the Wolf King did not blame him for being rude. He quickly climbed up the main tower of the castle with the priest and looked up. At this moment, the Hall of Valor was slowly climbing up. With the Wolf King's eyesight, he could naturally see the side guns.
The ballistas on the gun position were disappearing one after another. The Wolf King was so smart, he understood what was going on after just a moment's thought.
In the blink of an eye, most of the gun emplacements became empty. Nearly half of the dozens of large and small ballistae that were originally densely lined up were cruiser-level terrifying firepower. Now there are only one cruiser main gun and five destroyer guns left.
The main gun is not even a fraction of what it was just now./
The werewolves on the ground who could see this scene all had pale faces. Who didn't know that they had just been tricked by Qianye?
The priest gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "How dare you lie to us! Chief, this matter cannot be tolerated. No matter what request he just made, as long as we go and get Nan Qingcheng, let's see what other tricks he can play!"
The Wolf King thought for a while, suddenly laughed, and said: "Don't worry about him, the cooperation with him will continue as usual. Inform our legion that from today on, no one is allowed to touch Nan Qingcheng. That's it!"
The werewolf priest was immediately dumbfounded and asked: "Great Chief, you just saw with your own eyes what he did!"
The Wolf King said lightly: "Of course I saw it, and I know that's what he showed me. So, continue to cooperate."
The priest was puzzled. Instead of getting angry when he saw what the Wolf King meant, he was even more willing to compromise with Qianye. He could only convey the order with full of doubts, but in his heart he was planning to go to the big city immediately after finishing the work.
Go to the priest and ask for advice, otherwise he may not be able to sleep tonight.
Nanqing City is a busy place. Whether An Huo is expanding his army or preparing for war, it is a big move, and every move touches the hearts of countless people.
On the top floor of a rare high-rise building in Nan Qingcheng, several people stood in front of the window, overlooking the mercenary drills at the Dark Fire School Ground in the distance.
Dark Fire was originally built in Nanqing City, and many facilities were directly exposed to the eyes of others. Places such as the school grounds were not important in Song Zining's eyes, and they were not particularly closed.
On the school field, about three thousand recruits are divided into several teams and are practicing. The school field is not big, and when there are thousands of people, it feels crowded. On one side of the school field, there are thousands of recruits who have completed preliminary training.
Registering to receive equipment and weapons.
There were several high-power telescopes on the top floor. Now the two old men each put their eyes in front of a telescope. The telescopes had a clear field of view, and they could clearly see the styles and models of the weapons and equipment received by the recruits.
Force vision is of course good, but Force scanning can easily attract the attention of the strong opponent, so most of the time, various tools and equipment are easy to use and safe in a peaceful environment. This also shows how cautious the spy must be.
The two old men looked at each other for a long time, then put down their binoculars, led everyone downstairs, sat down in an airtight conference room, carefully closed the door, and then visibly breathed a sigh of relief. The person sitting at the bottom
The old man said: "Brother Liu, what do you think?"
The old man in the middle narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Dark Fire equips new recruits with relatively common weapons, which can barely be considered high-quality, but as far as I know, they are still far behind the standard equipment of the main army of the empire.
Some of the larger mercenary groups in the neutral land cannot afford to use these equipment. To put it bluntly, the 50,000 recruits recruited by Dark Fire are equipped with such equipment, and the cost is equivalent to the main division of the empire.
"
Another person continued: "The batch of equipment that came a few days ago is truly high-end. According to Darkfire insiders, that batch of equipment is customized equipment for the elite elite legion of the empire. It's just that the quantity is not large. It is said that the purchase quantity is only two
One thousand sets, half of them arrived in advance."
The old man surnamed Liu thought: "In other words, Qianye will form an elite army similar to Red Scorpion and Broken Wing Angel, and the rest will maintain the level of a first-class mercenary group in a neutral place."
Many people nodded and said, "That should be it."
They have been observing for a while, and based on all the intelligence, their guesses are very close.
After a while, someone finally broke the silence, "Then what should we do? Should we just watch him send troops to conquer the land and do nothing?"/
This question caused a dead silence in the room. After a long time, the old man surnamed Liu in the middle said: "Now it seems that it may not be a bad idea to stand still."
Someone immediately objected: "Then if he establishes a foothold in Yonglu, won't his strength be further improved, and there will be nothing he can do against him?"
The old man surnamed Liu sighed and said calmly: "No one wants to see the secret fire grow stronger. But now we really have no good solution. Even if we want to fight, how and what will we fight? Qianye is going to fight this time.
, will inevitably bring the elite and all fleets with them. So what are we fighting for? After the raid, we only eliminated some ordinary mercenaries and grabbed some supplies? You have also seen that this kind of mercenaries can be replenished in one month.
Tens of thousands of them."
Although everyone had known this conclusion for a long time, they still felt unwilling to admit it when the matter came to pass. They did not expect that Qianye would use most of his resources to build a small elite force, while the large force would still maintain neutrality.
The level of local mercenaries.
One person smiled bitterly and said: "Even so, let's cancel the action plan."
"We have been working hard for a month, how can we just cancel it?"
"What else can we do if we don't cancel? No one in Qianye dares to do anything. He is gone and has no value anymore. At that time, the most valuable thing in Nan Qing City was the trading company's workshop. Are we trying to steal it ourselves?"
"Don't Ningyuan Heavy Industries have several workshops here?"
"Those workshops are for the production of simple components and processing of raw materials. The workshops that actually assemble the engines are still within the empire. Those parts are only valuable in their hands, and they are just a pile of scrap metal in our hands."
At this point in the discussion, the conclusion is already very clear. The old man surnamed Liu said: "The plan is cancelled. Everyone should also be careful and don't show any signs of weakness."
One person was unconvinced and said: "The gears produced in our workshop are also key components of the aerospace craft. There are several models that only we can produce. Do you dare to offend us?"
"Without their orders, who would we sell the gears we produce to?" This sentence knocked down the former's arrogance.
The meeting broke up unhappy, and everyone was waiting for Yu Yu to leave.
A few days later, Qianye finally completed the preparations for the entire Dark Fire war. The huge transport fleet loaded with 12,000 mercenaries, slowly took off, regrouped with the escort fleet in outer space, and prepared to sail to Yonglu.
Before the formation of the large fleet was completed, several high-speed aerostats had already set off and headed to Yonglu to contact the local area for support.
Then the Hall of Heroes, together with the battle cruisers and some faster aerostats, carried the two thousand most elite warriors of Dark Fire and set off first. The slow transport ships, together with the old battleships, carried ten thousand ordinary mercenaries.
, and drive slowly.
In Qianye's plan, these 10,000 mercenaries were there to maintain law and order and occupy territory, so they had nothing to do in the morning.
In the Hall of Heroes, Qianye is repeatedly confirming the list of elite troops. Among the two thousand people are the elites of the original Dark Fire, the surviving veterans of Baicheng, the top mercenary soldiers of the Gaohu people, and Song Zining selected from the Ningyuan Heavy Industry Guards
talents, as well as several guards of the Frost and Thunder Temple.
The composition of this army can be described as complex, but if you want to form an elite army that can compete with the Red Scorpions and Broken Wing Angels, you can only do this. If you rely solely on the accumulation of dark fire and do not absorb external elites, you may not even have half the number.
It's not all together, not counting the time it takes for a warrior to grow.
Qianye has read the list several times and can almost memorize it. However, he suddenly thought of a problem. He has been busy for so long and seems to have not given a name to this team.
