By the time Song Zining and Zhao Jundu led the main force back to the base to rest, their results were already brilliant.
In this round of attacks, various troops captured a total of four sacred tree forests, including one with twin sacred trees, and annihilated nearly 50,000 demon warriors.
You must know that those who can enter the new world are elite troops, and there is no cannon fodder like usual. Every soldier who enters the new world consumes the sap of the holy tree. This precious resource cannot be wasted on cannon fodder.
On the strong side, two dukes were injured. Although one of them survived, he had to withdraw from the new world and would have to recuperate for decades to come and would not be able to regain his fighting strength.
And Wei Potian single-handedly captured two marquises, one of whom was captured alive. His military exploits were the most outstanding, and his reputation suddenly became famous. Many aristocratic families were re-examining the Wei family.
When most of his peers were entangled in the quagmire of family inheritance, Wei Potian was invited to be named the heir apparent early on, which shows that the Wei family attaches great importance to him and also shows his talent. However, for the aristocratic family, no one has one or two.
What about a secret seed figure? Moreover, the tortoise-shell reputation of "Thousand Layers Mountain" is always insufficient compared to the top secret techniques of the Four Clan.
But it is different now. Anything that can be truly transformed into combat power and tested on the battlefield should receive sufficient attention.
Some scholars who are good at textual research have dug up historical materials from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, proving that the Wei family was one of the earliest families to follow Taizu. Although the Wei family was just an unknown small family at that time, the ancestors were in Taizu.
The soldiers accompanying the ancestors. This shows that the Wei family's secret knowledge of Qianzhong Mountain may have been personally instructed by Taizu.
In this way, it can explain Wei Potian's recent miraculous achievements. Suddenly, the value of the Wei family was re-examined, and Wei Potian, who had not yet made an engagement, was also very popular, and even overshadowed Song Zining.
.
Although Song Zining also had dissatisfaction with Wei Potian, he would not talk about it like he did. After carefully reading Wei Potian's battle report, Song Zining simply transferred him to his side and acted with him and Zhao Jundu.
Wei Potian said he didn't want to, but the smile on his face revealed the secret in his heart. What this guy wanted in his heart was that you didn't want me at the beginning, but now you know the value of me, right?
Zhao Jundu was noncommittal. Although his fire-refined gold is not afraid of battle, he doesn't mind having multiple human shields around him. At this moment, personal cultivation is one thing, but being able to kill more enemies is another. The latter is beneficial to the empire.
.
After resting and replenishing the holy tree sap potion, Song Zining led the troops to set out again. This time he did not disperse the troops, but gathered the main force, with only small reconnaissance troops on the wings. The vast army went straight towards the demons.
The old nest.
In this direction, there is a forest of Three Sacred Trees, which has long since fallen into the hands of the demon. According to Song Zining's judgment, the demon will definitely build a fortress here and station heavy troops there.
Now that the development of the new world has entered the middle game, both parties understand the importance of the forest. A forest is like an island in the ocean. You must use it as a springboard to jump over one island after another in order to continue to develop in the new world.
.
After conquering the lair center, Zhao Jundu also understood the importance of the blessing of the power of the holy tree. It can be said that the holy tree is the talisman on the surface of the new world. The more you have, the more unhindered you are. No matter from which perspective, the devil is
There will definitely be heavy troops stationed in this forest of three holy trees.
The advantage of the empire now is that after Zhao Jundu conquered the nest center, he also knew the distribution locations of other nests in the surrounding areas. There was no need for advance reconnaissance, so there was no need to alert others.
Therefore, after the initial victory, Song Zining decided to inflict another heavy blow on the opponent while the demons were not yet stable and the army mobilization was not completed. If he could pull out the forest of three holy trees, it would be equivalent to cutting off the number of demons.
Thousands of troops.
Under the guidance of Zhao Jundu, Song Zining gathered the main force of the empire, and the four major princes were also in the army, forming a huge camp of six divine generals. At the same time, he mobilized nearly 100,000 troops, which could be said to be an overwhelming attack on the demon fortress.
The imperial army had no rest along the way. The truck broke down and the soldiers on the truck were transferred to other vehicles. After a day and night, the demon fortress finally appeared in front of the army.
The fortress is quite large, like a small city, and the forest behind it is endless. Its scale is far greater than those of single or double holy tree forests. There is actually an aerospace boat floating in the sky above the fortress, which can really be called a big deal.
Regardless of whether the aerial ships of the Empire or Evernight have a long lifespan in the new world, a normal-sized aerial ship will be damaged and scrapped after being used for seven or eight days at most. So when you see an aerial ship appearing above the fortress, you know that the magic ship is
After suffering a head-on blow, Yi spent a lot of money and used the money-burning model to increase his strength.
The appearance of the floating ship was indeed unexpected by Song Zining, but it did not affect the overall situation. Song Zining ordered the naval gun attached to the vehicle to land, and fired several tracking giant crossbows to knock down the floating ship.
These anti-aircraft weapons were originally used to deal with flying beasts. Song Zining thought about it for a while and ordered them to be brought with him without hesitation. They actually came in handy. Even Wei Potian had to admit that Song Zining's luck was weirdly good.
.
When the next few shots were fired, although there were strong men in the fortress who tried to block the crossbows, they were easily blocked by the empire. As a result, they lacked long-range fire cover at the city defense level, and their speed and evasion flexibility were reduced a few times in the new world.
An aerial ship of this level has completely turned into a large target.
Although the fortress discovered the whereabouts of the imperial army in advance, Song Zining originally wanted to concentrate the main force for a strong attack, so the impact was not significant. Next, the imperial army arranged their formations in an orderly manner, and all kinds of heavy weapons were put on the ground and built, and the attack on the demon fortress began.
storm.
In this battle, the empire has all-round advantages from strong men to military strength. The defensive power of this kind of temporary fortress cannot be very strong. More importantly, the demons are all deployed against the alien beast army, and they attach great importance to air protection and short-range defensive fire nets.
Now they are encountering their old rival, the Imperial Force. Not to mention that all these targeted deployments have failed, they have also become shortcomings.
Under the powerful long-range firepower of the empire, the outer walls of the fortress were quickly blown down in sections, and several turrets were also shot and killed by the four princes.
As for the strong men assigned to the fortress itself, Zhao Jundu and Song Zining jointly suppressed them. After a fierce battle for half a day, the 30,000 demon garrison was finally wiped out. One of the two guarding marquises was killed and one was injured. The remaining strong men only escaped with two brave men.
The young count. However, the Empire only suffered a few thousand casualties, and most of the strong men were slightly injured. After a short rest, they could return to the battlefield.
This victory was a clean one. After removing the demon's most important stronghold on the periphery, the biggest target was just the base outside the door.
Song Zining did not hesitate and immediately sent out scouts, and at the same time kept writing on the map. Not long after, he said to Zhao Jundu: "The devil's 'door' is probably in this area."
Zhao Jundu took a look and frowned in thought.
Wei Potian said carelessly: "We already know the location, so let's fight over there!"
The four princes did not speak, but just looked at Song Zining. After this period of fighting, they were completely convinced of Song Zining and had no other thoughts.
"The location of the door is just my guess." Song Zining said to Wei Potian.
Wei Potian opened his mouth and said no more.
Song Zining ordered someone to get a map of the New World, made a few marks on it, and wrote rows of calculations at the same time, saying: "During this time in the New World, all of you must have felt that the space here is a little distorted.
?”
Several princes nodded. As top powerhouses, they were very sensitive to changes in space, and they all noticed some clues.
Song Zining pointed to the formula he had just written and said: "These days, I have been working hard to calculate and found that the spatial distortion produced by each forest is different. The more sacred trees in the forest, the stronger the spatial distortion produced.
.For example, the distortion produced by the forest under our feet is already very strong. The specific algorithm is as follows."
Song Zining wrote down a lot of calculations, and then said: "That's it."
Wei Potian's eyes widened and he was at a loss. He recognized every number written by Song Zining, but he had no idea what they meant when put together. This large number was like a sacred book to him.
Three of the four princes also had general expressions, and only one looked carefully and thoughtfully.
Song Zining said: "The place we are standing on now seems to be flat ground, but it is actually curved. However, our perception is also distorted, so we think it is flat ground."
Wei Potian couldn't understand it even more. He turned to look at the others and found that most of them also had blank faces. Then he calmed down. As long as he wasn't the only one who couldn't understand, that would be fine.
Song Zining drew several lines on the map of the new world, connecting the forests together, but each line was not a straight line, but an arc.
He drew another dotted line, pointing to a certain area, and then drew a circle there, saying: "The space distorters in each location have rules. According to this rule, the space distortion in this area can be calculated
, will be very similar to our Qinlu gate. In other words, a gate of the demon descendant is likely to be here!"
Among the four princes, the only one who understood the formula written by Song Zining, Duke Mu, said slowly: "That's the case, then what are we waiting for? The soldiers are very fast. If we kill them now, we can probably catch the demon by surprise."
Song Zining did not answer, but clicked on that area and said, "If this is really a door, then there is another inference."
He wrote down a large number of calculations, and then drew one or several lines based on each set of calculations. Song Zining specially drew an arc connecting the two doors. The focus of the arc was in the distance, far within the coverage of this map.
outside.
Song Zining drew another line, pointing from the center point of the arc to the focus in the distance, and then said: "This is what really matters. If what I expected is correct, the spatial distortion of the entire new world points to a core, where the space
Perhaps it is completely distorted and exists permanently. In other words, there may be an extremely huge door there, leading to a world we don't know about. And that door is the real goal of the dark race!"
Mu Guogong himself was also a master of Tianjishu. He stood up and came to the map, carefully looking at each line of data. After half a day, his expression changed slightly and he said: "There may indeed be a door there.
It's not appropriate to describe it as a door, but if there is a passage, it may be a huge passage that has never been seen before. Those doors that appear in our world are probably like nails, nailing it to the continent.
Use your strength to open the real door!"
Song Zining nodded and said: "So our question now is whether to attack the central door directly, or to take down the small door of the demon descendant first."
Everyone, including Zhao Jundu, frowned and said nothing. This choice was too big and no one was willing to jump to conclusions easily.
