Song Zining got up early and rushed to the military headquarters. Now, given his position, he also had a quite spacious office in the military headquarters, which had a lot of land and a lot of money, and there were about ten people working for him.
There is at least one advantage to working in the military department. You can see all kinds of battle reports at the first time, and you can have a grasp of the current situation in the entire Evernight World.
When Song Zining walked into his office, before he could sit down, the adjutant came to inform him that someone was here to see him.
Song Zining ordered the people to be led to the conference room. He read the morning newspaper for a while before entering the conference room.
Sitting in the conference room was a capable general who looked very young, in his early thirties. He first performed a military salute and then said: "My surname is Zhang and my name is Zhao. I am currently serving under King Dingxuan.
"
It turned out that he was from King Dingxuan. Song Zining knew it well, so he gave in and sat down on the main seat.
Zhang Zhao said: "Your Majesty has some military affairs and needs your help."
"What the prince is concerned about must be important. But there is no harm in talking about it."
Zhang Zhao said: "This matter is of great importance. The prince did not give me a document, but just gave me a letter of appointment. It is here. Please let Song Shuai take a look."
With that said, Zhang Zhao took out an official document and handed it over.
Song Zining first checked that the seal was intact, then opened the envelope, took out the document inside, and read it carefully before nodding and saying: "Being able to get the letter of appointment in the prince's handwriting shows your trust. Okay, what are your orders from the prince?"
Zhang Zhao said: "This matter is also related to Qianye. Although Qianye and Ye Tong died together in the last episode, there are still a lot of things left behind that need to be cleared up one by one."
“Which fingertips need cleaning?”
Zhang Zhao observed Song Zining's expression and saw that everything was as usual, so he said: "The prince said that Qianye is indeed a great talent, and he has built such a large foundation in a short period of time. Although he has passed away now, the foundation is still there, and he must not be
Yong Ye has to go. The first thing is the Hall of Heroes. This national treasure must be brought back no matter what."
Song Zining said: "The Hall of Heroes has always been elusive, and no one can predict its whereabouts. After Qianye left, the Hall of Heroes disappeared. How to find it?"
Zhang Zhao said: "No matter how spiritual the Hall of Heroes is, it still needs people to control it. As far as I know, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the Hall of Heroes. These people will always return to the ground, and the most likely place to go is Yonglu
The city of blue waves.”
At this point, he paused for a moment, but Song Zining had no reaction at all. Zhang Zhao had no choice but to continue: "According to our investigation, the warriors in the Hall of Heroes are basically divided into three parts, one part is the local human race of Yonglu, and the other part is the Emerald Sea Werewolf
, but the backbone and main force are all here
The Dark Fire Mercenary Group from the Neutral Land. Currently, the main strong person in the Hall of Valor is Carol. She also comes from the Neutral Land, from the Frost and Thunder Temple. So when it comes to seizing the ship, the prince believes that Song Shuai, you have the natural ability.
Advantages, please Commander Song, put the overall situation first and don’t shirk.”
"You are asking me to go to Yonglu, kill my old subordinates, and take back the Hall of Heroes?"
Zhang Zhao sensed that there was something wrong in the words and hurriedly said: "Of course we don't have to kill them. If they are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side and be loyal to the empire, that would be the best. We can also give more consideration to rewards."
Song Zining's face suddenly sank, and he sneered: "Are you talking about what the prince means, or what you mean? If King Dingxuan only asks you to say this, then please come back. I will tell you later.
Ask the prince personally about this matter! I, Song Zining, am not someone to be bullied!"
Zhang Zhao was startled, stood up hurriedly, and saluted: "Commander Song, please calm down! I don't know where I offended you. Your Excellency has a lot, so don't worry about it."
Song Zining lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly: "There's nothing to say, so let's leave it at that."
Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "There are some things that the prince has asked you to agree to before he can say anything. However, I might as well reveal it in advance. You must not mention it to the prince. In that case,
The life of a low-ranking official is at risk."
"Say it."
"The prince said that you have made great efforts in this matter. Afterwards, he will find a way to arrange a new legion number for you to accommodate your old subordinates in the neutral land. All mercenaries, as long as they are human race, can work under the prince's
Arrange a legal status in the territory and become an imperial citizen from now on. Qianye can share half of the territory and interests in Yonglu with you. The prince can send his confidants to take charge of the defense of the Yonglu area. If necessary, the prince will also take action personally.
.”
Qianye's foundation in Yonglu is already very important, far higher than that of ordinary empire tributaries. Even if it is half, there are several provinces, not to mention the prosperity and wealth of the City of Blue Waves. If the group of dragons is leaderless, sooner or later it will return to its original state of separatism.
And with the wolf clan at the top of the peaks, the human race might be driven out soon. Only King Dingxuan's promise of protection can this place be taken over.
Song Zining's face softened slightly and said: "This is only reasonable. Is there anything else?"
Zhang Zhao secretly cursed in his heart, Song Zining was so famous, why did he change his face when he saw the benefits? He still had a smile on his face, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "But the prince has a small condition."
Song Zining's expression suddenly turned ugly and he said, "If there are any other conditions, tell me."
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "This can't be said to be a burden. The prince now has several granddaughters, among whom the second princess and the youngest princess are deeply loved by the prince, and they are also famous beauties in the domain. Song Shuai is not married yet, why not get married?
Honey? It’s a beautiful thing for our two families to become one family from now on.”
Song Zining was deep in thought, a little agitated, but finally shook his head and said: "I'm just going back to the imperial capital to recuperate for a few days. I will leave for the new world tomorrow, so I don't have time to deal with this matter."
"There will be no fighting in the Black Sun Valley for the time being. You will be able to come back soon. You can start this matter at that time."
Song Zining stood up and walked around, saying: "There are not only human races and werewolf natives on the Yong Continent, but there are also the tops of the peaks there, which is really tricky. If something happens, I don't have a single soldier on hand and I am unable to respond."
Seeing Song Zining's move, Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, the prince has arrangements for this matter. The prince will mobilize the elite of the army and equip them with enough strong men to serve as your support."
Song Zining nodded slowly and said: "That's very good! It's just that these people need to be sent to Yonglu in advance and lurk down so that things can be accomplished at the critical moment. If you go with me, the goal is too big. In addition, you must keep the secret! The top of the peaks
There are heavy troops stationed in Yonglu, and it would be terrible if they discover us."
Zhang Zhao was in high spirits and said: "This is natural! Don't worry, Commander Song, I will make arrangements immediately after I go back and report to the prince! When you come back from the new world, everything will be in order, just waiting for you to take action!"
"Then it's hard work." Song Zining said goodbye to the guests.
Zhang Zhao also knew that this matter was a big deal, and before it was accomplished, the less contact he had with Song Zining, the better. Once his goal was achieved, he stopped staying and left in a hurry.
After sending Zhang Zhao away, Song Zining continued to read the battle reports as if nothing had happened, and at the same time ordered someone to retrieve a series of documents from the database. Among them were battle reports about Qianye, other important areas, and many about major major cities.
A report from a wealthy family.
Judging from his inspection directory alone, Song Zining was preparing to formally assume an important position in the military department. Any commander-in-chief must be familiar with the military and political affairs of the entire empire.
After reading all the information, Song Zining ordered the car to be prepared for the trip.
Parliament of Eternal Night.
There are still thirteen seats in the hall where the round table meeting is held.
But unlike in the past, the hall would be filled with the momentum of the big shots stimulating each other. This time, although it was unprecedentedly full, almost no one leaked a breath.
The members present are also very different. Except for Metazord, the Lightless King of the Blood Clan, and Sosa, the Mosar Lord of the Wolf Clan, the rest are all members of the Demon Clan.
The bronze throne that originally belonged to the Speaker was a mass of darkness, pure darkness. Although no breath could be felt, once someone turned their attention, they would feel a shudder as if they had been baptized by darkness.
On the left hand side of the Demon King is Crassus, the Eternal Flame, followed by the heads of famous families such as Macefield, Deep Dark Abyss, and Jerusalem.
On the right hand side of the Demon King is an extremely young-looking great wizard with short light blond hair. His subordinates are the Speaker who is still wrapped in a hooded robe, and below him are several famous great prophets of Yongye.
.
Although the seats were arranged in such an unreasonable manner, no one looked strange. Even Medanzo and Sosa, who usually paid the most attention to their status, had expressions on their faces and did not look away.
A demon prince stood up, bowed deeply to the Demon Emperor, and then began to report on the recent battle situation.
Different from the reports that members of the parliament regularly receive in normal times, it is divided into two parts. In one part, all participating races and clans are summarized into a total number.
The other part is divided by region, detailing the number of casualties in clan units, and there is also a standard deviation value that has not appeared in any public report. Judging from the final concluding statement of the report, 100%
More than 90 areas have reached the standard, of which the New World standard value is 120%.
After the demon prince finished his report, the speaker's voice came out muffledly from the hat, "We can start the second phase of the operation. Observation stations will be set up according to the original plan. For those areas that have not yet reached the standard, the combat power investment will be increased by 100%.
30. The Jerusalem and Wallace families are jointly responsible for the transportation and installation of all exploration facilities, and please ask Master Merry to coordinate all the prophets in place."
"In addition, please be careful, adults, and don't let the new world standard value exceed 100 again." After speaking, the speaker raised his head and glanced at the Macefield family head.
Parikia has not forgotten the pain of death of the new generation Duke Frey of the Masefield family. He couldn't help turning his head and glared at Metanzo: "They are all cunning vampires. Any battlefield area they dominate, ours
The casualties were extremely high.”
But Metanzo didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "Reno is the commander-in-chief of the Vampire Clan. Didn't you already go to him to protest?"
Before Palikia had time to speak, the Speaker had already lightly interjected: "The Blue King has already made special arrangements, so there is no need to discuss it here. But King Wuguang, how are things going with you?"
Medanzo said slowly: "The Queen of the Night has gone back to sleep. If there is no accident, for example, someone with authority wakes her up, then she will not pay attention to things outside the traditional territory of the Paz family."
This person with authority, of course, refers to the existing second-generation ancestors of the Vampire Clan. There are four currently in the active stage: Blue King Raynor, Lightless King Metazord, Fire Crown Habus, and Dark Gospel Howard.
However, Howard and Metanzo were feuding. After he woke up, he only appeared once and did not participate in any public activities. He disappeared from everyone's sight. The only thing that can be confirmed is that he has never left the Twilight Continent.
The speaker pondered for a moment and said: "Crown of Fire..." He looked at the Demon Emperor sitting in the seat.
The Demon Emperor said: "I will handle matters related to him. You should avoid Spike's clan castle."
The Speaker was slightly startled. This was not in line with the original plan, but he immediately responded: "Yes."
There was no change on Metanzo's face, but the five fingers in his sleeves bent a bit, and then he felt a will projected over him, sweeping past him. Metanzuo was motionless, and even his blood core showed no signs of fluctuation.
, but he knew in his heart that it was a warning from the Demon Emperor.
"Finally, there are the Eyes of Control and the Eyes of Destruction." The speaker paused after saying this.
The demon prophecy master Merry stood up, bowed to the Demon Emperor, and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't see any trace of them." He looked at Prattik on the Demon Emperor's right and said:
"Perhaps Your Highness, the Nightmare of Wuhui, can..."
The Demon King said: "Prattik will not participate in any camp activities."
His words were categorical, and Merry immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, then I will discuss countermeasures with my colleagues."
The Demon King said: "No need, it's normal for you not to be able to see the human race's heavenly magic and the vampire's secret method."
Naturally, no one doubted the Demon King's words, and the eyes of several people at the table focused on Metanzo, who lowered his eyes and folded his sleeves as if he had not heard anything.
Prattik said thoughtfully: "Dear Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Black Sun Valley has been beaten like that. After the results came out, there were people from the human race who wanted to save Qianye, and there were people from the blood race who wanted to save Qianye.
Saving Ye Tong? This game of cheating is really interesting."
Demon Emperor said: "Short-lived species are complex and contradictory creatures, and the vampires have many similarities with them."
Prattik was a little eager to try, "Maybe I can give it a try."
The Demon Emperor said: "As long as the influence of Lin Xitang's Heavenly Secret Technique has not completely ceased to exist in this world, you should be honest and not touch matters on the Liming side."
There was a sudden silence on the round table. This was the first time that Lin Xitang's name was mentioned clearly in the hall of the Evernight Council after the Battle of Floating Continent.
Previously, Habbs, as the leader of the floating land in the final stage, had been unable to come out to report on his duties due to injuries. Only the tragic casualties of the sword-wielding guardian of the black sun, and the transfer of all outer space fleets in the final stage, the Eternal Night Parliament
The impeachment received from all ethnic groups can bury him.
However, the last of these impeachments could not be discussed. The Demon Emperor's repressive attitude was crucial. The Holy Mountain Supreme obviously didn't want to hear anyone mention that battle. But today he said it clearly.
The Speaker coughed slightly and said: "Actually, we have made some hypothetical plans regarding how to handle the death of Mr. Marshal Lin."
"One is to start directly from the center of Da Qin. Based on our existing intelligence analysis, it is very likely that we can use this to provoke conflicts between their emperor and ministers. This method is more difficult at first because it requires finding the right entry point.
, otherwise the whole thing may not get started at all, but then there will be no need for too much investment, and Daqin's internal situation will naturally push things to develop on their own. Of course, correspondingly, we cannot control the outcome. Maybe we can brew another secret.
Changes, or maybe it’s just like the last green blood plan that didn’t succeed in the end.”
"The other is to start from the Western Continent War Zone where he once served, oh, the Fenghuo Continent. The situation there is complicated, with the Empire's Zhao clan, the military headquarters, and the empire's dissidents occupying two provinces. This method
It’s relatively simple to start with. There are many natural opponents among those types of people. He only needs to provide some talking points, and those who are interested will know how to use them. Especially the Western Continent is the farthest away from the center of the empire, so there is more time and space for rumors to form.
A wave of opposition.”
Having said this, the Speaker glanced at the Demon Emperor and saw that the Holy Mountain man did not move at all, so he continued: "The first method requires a relatively mature empire insider. King Wuguang, how are your connections there now?
Already?"
Mei Danzuo said calmly: "After the bloody funeral, the Great Qin Imperial City was purged, and basically nothing was left. Even some peripheral informants were moved to remote areas by the entire family."
The Speaker nodded and said: "In fact, we have already conducted a stress test on the second method. We provided some vague statements about the Marshal to related parties in Da Qin. The upper echelons of the empire were very vigilant, and our envoys were very cautious.
It is difficult to tell whether they are aware of a problem or have been under pressure. Among those who have different opinions in the empire, they have received a better response, and it seems that they are happy to get some bad news about the suppressors."
The Speaker glanced at the Demon King again, and then he got his answer.
The Demon Emperor said: "Okay, that's it. While the observation station on Fenghuo Continent is being set up, you can continue your testing."
"Yes." The speaker looked around the round table and said, "Then if you don't have any questions, we will fully enter the second stage after you return."
Sosa, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, "What did Yong Lu say?"
The speaker said: "That place is not in our observatory plan."
Sosa said slowly: "In other words, I can handle it myself?"
The Demon King suddenly said: "The top of the peaks no longer have the advantage of the storm, so I hope not to make too much noise in those insignificant places."
Sosa nodded and still said slowly: "Of course, as you wish."
At the end of the meeting, everyone bowed to the Demon King and then left one after another. In the end, only the Speaker, Prattik and Master Merry were left.
The Speaker hesitated for a moment, obviously trying to organize his words, and then said after a moment: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the part of the trajectory that was originally planned to be searched by Marshal Lin?" He always used honorifics when addressing Lin Xitang.
The Demon King was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "It's just adding a control group to the Dawn Lineage. By cleaning up a few more human settlements, we can also collect data."
For a while, the other three people didn't say anything. If the general population is used as a control group, the number to be cleared is not a small number. Moreover, Lin Xitang's role is not just a control group. However, no one mentioned it.
objection.
Master Meili first said: "I will report the changes to the plan to His Highness Anwen when I get back, and come up with the modification results as soon as possible."
The Speaker also nodded and said: "Then I will go ahead and make arrangements to increase combat readiness."
After the Speaker and Master Merry left, the Demon Emperor smiled softly and said: "Only he cares about those ants. If we just clean up a few more, so as not to disturb his rest, it will still be worth it, isn't it?"
Prattik covered his eyes with his hands, raised his head and leaned on the back of the chair. After a while, he said helplessly: "The premise is that your Excellency did not leave any backup plan."
Then things will return to their original point. The answer to the fateful connection related to Lin Xitang can only be obtained from Lin Xitang.
The Demon King's tone was gentle from beginning to end, "Then I can only hope that Habs will figure it out soon."
Prattik's heart suddenly shook, and his hands and feet were cold, but he did not move and still maintained his lazy posture.
