The dark race did not give the empire much time to prepare. In less than three days, several armies marched to the Black Sun Valley, split into groups and attacked directly into the sinkhole.
The tiankeng itself is tens of thousands of meters in diameter, and the surrounding black volcanoes are hundreds of miles in diameter. The area is as large as a large province of the empire.
The hundreds of thousands of troops scattered into this area were nothing more than a small splash. The imperial troops did not leave the Tiankeng, but were stationed on the spot. Song Zining made it clear that he would use the Tiankeng as the battlefield for a decisive battle with the dark race.
It is true that the dark race has no counterpart. Although the black fire in the sinkhole is raging now and it is not yet passable, even the supreme beings cannot tell when the black fire will extinguish. Therefore, there are more races around the sinkhole.
One day of stay is one more day of risk.
This area is so vast that neither the Empire nor Evernight can block the other party's movements. Even if there are only a few passages close to the sinkhole, there are many passages in and out of the outer edge. The black fire in the mountainous area is also changing from time to time, and no one can
You don't know when black fire will erupt from the cracks in the ground and block the passage, thus greatly increasing the variables on the battlefield.
At this moment, Zhao Jundu and Song Zining were standing on the top of a mountain, with the majestic black fire burning behind them. However, the green and black force surged around Zhao Jundu, and he actually used this force to cast an eight-way blockade, suppressing the black fire.
Don't get close.
Under the burning of black fire, Zhao Jundu's green and black force was consumed extremely slowly. It seemed that it would not be a problem to sustain it for a day and a night.
Song Zining looked much more relaxed while standing within the area of the Bafang Blockade.
He looked at Zhao Jundu and said: "Your force power is really weird, you can actually withstand the burning of black fire. If it were me, I would probably be able to last for two or three hours at most."
"My Force was developed in the new world, so it's normal for me to be more resistant."
"This...can be considered a reason."
Song Zining looked into the distance. Just over ten kilometers away, a group of dark race warriors were lining up and heading towards the sinkhole. The line was long and it looked like there were at least 10,000 people. Regardless of the force aura or equipment,
It shows that the elite level of this army is not inferior to that of the Imperial Red Scorpions and Broken Wing Angels.
Although they are not far apart, Zhao and Song stand in front of the black fire without any fear of being exposed. The black fire has a strong suppression on perception. Although it has no light, it is extremely blazing. One look at it will make you feel that it is better than looking directly at the sun.
It is even more uncomfortable, and when the senses are swept away, it will be burned by black fire. Only by forcibly cutting it off with the force like Zhao Jundu can he be safe.
Song Zining frowned slightly, obviously feeling that this army was difficult to deal with. Zhao Jundu suddenly said: "We have seen at least three such troops, right?"
Song Zining nodded, "This is the fourth branch. If you include the ordinary troops, the dark race has already assembled... 300,000 warriors?"
This number surprised Song Zining himself. But he immediately relaxed his eyebrows and said: "It's okay, it's all military achievements."
Zhao Jundu said: "Don't be too careless. Are you really sure you can deal with so many dark races?"
"Fight slowly, you have to outlast them. You don't even believe me, do you?"
Zhao Jundu frowned, "Give me a reason."
Song Zining spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, the reason is that even if I stand here, I can still use Tianji Technique. It's just that the result is blurry and it consumes a lot of money."
Zhao Jundu was surprised, thought for a moment, took out a handful of chips and threw them on the ground.
"So you know how to use the magic of heaven..." Before Song Zining could finish his teasing, he saw the calculation chips that had fallen on the ground suddenly burned and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. Zhao Jundu snorted and turned pale.
Song Zining said: "Seeing that you are still so cautious, I believe that you will not go crazy for a while."
Zhao Jundu said: "But I think you are crazy now."
Song Zining sighed and said, "Is three hundred thousand a lot?"
"It's not a small thing if you can send it here." Zhao Jundu's words make sense. Those who can fight in the Black Sun Valley are the best of the best. So far, the empire has only sent in 150,000 people. And the darkness
Reinforcements from the race are still coming in a steady stream.
"According to my estimate, there will be at least 300,000 more."
"How come there are so many?"
"Don't forget, werewolves still have three continents."
"Aren't werewolves excluded from the new world?"
"That was before Hierro died in the battle. After Hierro was lured out by me and killed by King Qingyang, it is estimated that there have been differences within the dark race. The best solution is to force the werewolves to give up their share of the new world.
Send in more troops. I think it won't be long before we see werewolf troops appear."
"If I were the leader of the werewolves, I would never send elite troops over at a time like this." Zhao Jundu said.
"No matter how bad the warriors who can enter the Black Sun Valley are, they can't be any worse."
Zhao Jundu nodded slowly.
"What, are you scared?"
Zhao Jundu said calmly: "I'm afraid that the empire won't be able to reward you if you have too many military achievements."
Song Zining laughed and said, "Then, wouldn't it be enough to add two more provinces to your family?"
No matter how broad-minded Zhao Jundu is and no matter how deep the city is, he can't help but change his mind slightly. Song Zining's proposal has honestly crossed an unwritten red line in the past. In the past, no matter how prosperous aristocratic families were, their territory would not exceed five provinces. Now Zhang
The kingdom is at its peak, but it only has four provinces. The fourth province is still separated from the ancestral land and is in the process of being developed.
The Zhao clan is sitting on Youyan, and the third province has actually been conquered, but the name has not been cleared because the rebels have not been eliminated. In fact, the Zhao clan has been secretly planning the fourth province, which was originally for Zhao Jundu.
The tailor-made plan was only delayed when the New World War broke out and Zhao Jundu was injured again.
And now, Zhao Jundu uses fire to refine real gold. He was not favored by others at first, but he is becoming more and more impressive. At least he has reached a state that no one before him has reached. Seeing that his force power has turned pure black, the explosion is just in front of him.
, so within the Zhao family, this plan began to be mentioned again.
Using Qianye as a bargaining chip to exchange for the title of hereditary Duke Rong is a key part of it.
Since the Battle of the New World, Zhao Jundu and Song Zining have accumulated countless meritorious deeds. If they defeat the dark race in the Battle of the Gate of the New World, the merits will be so great that the rewards for both provinces will be small.
The empire has always given the most generous rewards for military achievements, and the most uncompromising ones. This was the foundation of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, so adding two more provinces to the Zhao clan must be implemented even if it breaks the ancestral customs.
Zhao Jundu had never thought of this section before, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but feel moved. After all, he grew up in a wealthy family, and the concept of family status and territory had already been deeply rooted in his bones. No matter how he had no desires or demands, when he heard the word territory, he couldn't help but
Be blushing and enthusiastic. The land means the space for the tribesmen to survive and reproduce.
Song Zining was actually the same. He looked at Zhao Jundu with some envy and said: "It's better for you. At least you have the family foundation. No matter what I do, I can only get one province, and the rest are all empty."
"A prince is not an empty prince."
Song Zining hurriedly said: "Forget it."
"Empress Li will arrange it for you." Zhao Jundu said meaningfully.
Song Zining shuddered, "Don't!"
"You seem to be particularly afraid of her?"
"How is that possible?"
"You're not doing something bad, are you?" Zhao Jundu's eyes were particularly sharp.
"These are all things that are good for the Li family, how could they be so unfaithful?"
"If it's good for the Li family, then it's bad for other families?"
Song Zining looked around and talked about him, but Zhao Jundu held on to the topic. Song Zining had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "What can I do if I don't do things for Empress Li? Can you help the noble concubine of your Zhao family?"
Zhao Jundu was speechless. Compared with Empress Li, the noble concubine of the Zhao family was absolutely useless in terms of appearance and methods. The older generation had a bad temper back then, and the consequences have continued to this day.
Especially because there were rumors that she had provoked Lin Dazai in front of the emperor that day, and somehow she also got involved with King Qingyang, so now even King Qingyang has a bad look on his face when he sees the Dukes of Zhao Clan, this is offending.
No one has the courage or ability, and this has become a reason for others to criticize Zhao Clan for being too arrogant.
"Stop talking about this, go back and prepare for the war. I have a hunch that this battle may not be easy to fight."
Zhao Jundu said: "The dark race has suffered so much at our hands, so we have to think of some countermeasures. The victims sent here have probably been selected, and we will be in a dilemma whether to eat them or not."
"really."
The two left the peak to join their troops and prepare for the next battle.
The decisive battle started outside the gate of the other world. To the surprise of the dark race, Song Zining and Zhao Jundu separated again.
The empire set up a fortress at the gateway to the other world. With the help of the favorable terrain, it actually wanted to engage in a head-on attack and defense battle with the dark race. Song Zining, on the other hand, led mobile troops to wander around the periphery, with their whereabouts unknown, causing the dark race to constantly
Worry about your own rear and supply lines.
Dividing troops is a taboo, especially when the empire's military strength is still weaker than the opponent. The commander of the dark race's front line thought that the human race had finally made a mistake, and immediately launched a fierce attack.
However, under the empire's rather crude fortress, the dark race army encountered incredibly strong resistance. Zhao Jundu personally stood on the top of the city and fought bloody battles side by side with the empire soldiers. The black force was like a tornado, sweeping up the dark race strong men one by one.
Put it in, and then grind it to pieces.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jundu was covered with bruises under the siege of the dark race. But this time, in the black force, the minced flesh and blood of the dark race strongman actually separated the essence, which was absorbed by Zhao Jundu's wounds. As a result, the wounds appeared one after another.
Heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.
How to fight such an opponent? The weird black force makes even the spider demons and demon descendants feel evil. And Zhao Jundu's recovery speed at this moment is even faster than the blood boiling speed of the vampires.
In this way, the casualties of the dark race army made the commanders at the rear frightened. However, seeing the Imperial soldiers falling in rows on the city wall, the commander gritted his teeth and persisted.
Even if the casualties far exceed those of his opponents, his military strength far exceeds that of the human defenders. If this continues, the human race will be the first to collapse, and in the final analysis, his losses may not be much greater than those of the human race.
At this moment, murderous intent suddenly rose from behind the battle formation, and Song Zining led an army to appear behind the dark race. The troops deployed by the commander on guard at the rear were completely wiped out without even sending back a warning signal.
Under attack from both front and rear, the 100,000-strong army of the dark race was defeated, with less than half of them escaping back.
When the same battle happened again, the dark race finally discovered the problem. How did Song Zining eat tens of thousands of rearguard troops without letting a single person escape.
Before this problem was solved, the dark race did not want to attack the city again. However, the empire actually shipped a large number of construction machinery and began to build a construction site next to the sinkhole leading to the other world, posing as a hands-on research posture.
