Qianye's heart moved slightly and he looked at the map. There were several sets of simple data next to the mine mark, which were descriptions of production and quantity. If he could win this place, plus the mine that Wei Potian had transferred to him earlier,
, you can get a fixed income of about several thousand gold coins every year, which is enough to expand the "Dark Fire" to a thousand-person scale, or maintain it at a scale of five hundred people but with equipment and treatment that reach the level of the main army of the empire.
"But this mine is not that easy to get. It is estimated that there are nearly a thousand people in it, led by a former colonel commander of the 7th Division. In addition, this location is very close to the 15th Division's defense area, which is much better than what they originally took out.
The distance for compensation is even closer."
Qianye lowered his head slightly, his expression unchanged, and just asked: "Is he a seventh-level or eighth-level colonel?"
Wei Bainian said: "Level 7 is just a veteran who has served for almost eight years." He has served in the expeditionary force for eight years and was promoted to colonel. He must have extremely rich combat experience.
Qianye nodded and said calmly: "If it's just like this, it's not a big problem."
A smile flashed in Wei Bainian's eyes and he asked: "Where is the Fifteenth Division..."
Qianye shrugged and said: "If I remember correctly, didn't they say they would no longer interfere? The one-year agreement has not come yet. If the lesson they learned last time was not profound enough, I wouldn't mind doing it again.
.”
Wei Bainian nodded and smiled, "Very good, I will help you withstand other pressures."
After agreeing on the mining area, Wei Bainian asked someone to bring a partial map of the area around Heini Town, and compared it with the topographic map of Black Marsh drawn by Qianye, he began to study how to lay out the defense line.
At this time, there was a lot of noise outside the window, including quarreling, crying, cursing, and even a few gunshots.
Qianye walked to the long narrow window and looked out. He saw a large number of expeditionary force soldiers on the street outside, driving away the scavengers and homeless people living on the street.
Hu Wei was standing on a high place, shouting in a hysterical voice: "Give you thirty minutes, get out of town. I've prepared a campsite for you there! Listen, it's only thirty minutes."
! When you appear in front of me again in thirty minutes, whips will be waiting for you! Anyone who dares to stay in the town after one hour will be killed on the spot! Don’t challenge my patience!"
Qianye just frowned, and then his face calmed down. Driving away the scavengers was not only to make room for Wei Bainian's army, but also to build fortifications and other things immediately. There was no place for the refugees on the battlefield.
The scavengers slowly got up, and some of them were still lying on the same spot, refusing to move until the expeditionary force's military boots kicked them up. Several scavengers clashed with the expeditionary force for some unknown reason. They became more and more agitated, and suddenly
One soldier fell to the ground and while beating him, he grabbed his gun and saber.
When Hu Wei saw it, he immediately jumped to the ground with agility that was incompatible with his body shape, reached out to grab the gun from an expeditionary soldier, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. His marksmanship was unexpectedly accurate, even though it was a gunpowder gun.
, but every bullet can almost hit the vital point, killing these scavengers one by one in an instant.
The hot blood and fresh corpses gradually extinguished the dangerous flames in the scavengers' eyes.
One of Wei Bainian's personal guards also came to the window and suddenly asked: "Some of these people are decent soldiers. Why not give them some weapons and incorporate them into the garrison?"
This is a guard who followed Wei Bainian from the upper continent. He currently wears the rank of lieutenant colonel, but judging from his actions and gestures, he has a typical orthodox military demeanor, and he should have served for a long time.
Qianye breathed out gently and said: "This is Yongye, these people are scavengers, they are people without belonging." He paused and said: "Just like hyenas in the wilderness, as long as they find that you are not so
It’s scary, and it’s possible to bite back at any time. Compared with us and the dark race, the dark race is obviously more terrifying.”
The guard was silent. He understood what Qianye meant, but he might not be able to understand it right away.
Only if you live in the Evernight Continent for a long time will you truly realize the meaning of the abandoned land. Those abandoned by the empire will of course also give up their faith and hope in the empire.
The next few days were spent in busyness, tension and calmness. Wei Bainian's army spread out with Heini Town as the center, building a continuous front and completely blocking the exit of Black Marsh. The army sent scouts to start going deep into Black Marsh, but there was no need
Qianye went to spy on the military situation again.
After Wei Bainian decided on the overall tactical plan, he handed over most of the defense arrangements to his deputies and went into a quiet room to practice. When the war started, as the leader of a division, he had to fight against the generals of the dark race. It can be said that
It is the most dangerous task.
Qianye also handed over all the affairs of the mercenary group to Song Hu, and practiced hard himself. After practicing almost without sleep for several days, Qianye finally came out of the quiet room. He had a sudden impulse just now, and he felt vaguely uneasy.
, as if a black wave swept in from the southwest
, and the southwest is the direction of the Black Mud Swamp. Since he practiced the Song Scroll, Dawn's force has been continuously refined and condensed. Now, although his total force is no longer two or three times that of the same level, it is more
After the first test, the intensity increased instead of decreasing, and at the same time, the sense of danger became more acute.
Qianye walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and then looked at his legs in the full-length mirror. Since igniting the sixth force node, his legs had been numb and itchy for almost a month. Although it did not affect his movement,
But the feeling in my bones was very uncomfortable.
This is because the essence of the body is constantly growing and strengthening, but when the Force node was ignited before, except for the special position on the chest, Qianye had never experienced such a long transformation. However, the longer this process lasted, it also meant that
The body will be stronger and stronger after completion.
Now that the transformation process was over, Qianye felt that every corner of his legs was full of explosive power. He walked to the corner of the room, where there were two barbells used for strength training.
This is what Qianye uses for single-arm strength training, although barbells weighing hundreds of kilograms are used by others to train whole-body strength.
Looking at the barbell at this moment, Qianye's heart suddenly moved. He stretched out his foot and gently picked it up. The barbell flew up with a roar, and when it was about to touch the ceiling, it stopped its rise just in time, and then fell.
Qianye stretched his right leg flat and caught the falling barbell with the flat surface of his feet. The barbell stopped steadily in the air, while Qianye's feet only sank slightly. If you didn't observe carefully, you would definitely miss the fact that it was less than a finger.
Wide settlement.
Qianye pondered for a moment, stretched out his right leg slightly, lifted the barbell a little, and then switched to his left leg like lightning. This time, his left leg took the barbell without moving. It seems that the activated force node is on the left
knee, so the strength of the left leg is slightly greater.
Qianye slowly lowered his left leg and gently bounced the barbell back to its original position.
This kind of power has far exceeded Qianye's own imagination. Even until now, he is still a little uncomfortable with the sudden increase in power. It seems that it will take a period of targeted training and actual combat to fully control and adapt to the new body.
.
Standing in front of the mirror again, Qianye looked at himself, and suddenly felt that the person in the mirror was a bit strange. Human beings have always been far inferior to the dark races in terms of body and strength, and Qianye has long been accustomed to long-range sniping and killing.
A fighting style that excels in speed and skills.
But now, the power of this body should be able to completely overwhelm the vampires of the same level. Even compared to the werewolves of the same level, it has advantages in many aspects. But Qianye doesn't know where this power comes from.
But now is not the time to explore these, the first thing we have to face is the battle in front of us.
After Qianye walked out of the training room, he called the craftsmen of the mercenary group and asked them to take a look at the werewolf and spider demon armors he had brought back.
The armors of werewolves and spider demons are very rough in workmanship, without any sense of beauty, but the materials are of the best quality. The armors Qianye obtained are made of black iron alloy smelted by demons or vampire craftsmen, and are alloys that are stronger than humans.
Steel is much higher.
This batch of armor has almost no style at all. It looks like just a few large pieces of raw material. It only needs slight modifications to make a pair of armor suitable for the human body. The werewolf's arm armor can be used as leg armor, and the spider demon's belly armor can be used as well.
It was originally divided into six pieces, and two of them were taken out to form a set of chest armor and back armor. The craftsmen only needed to install some leather connectors on these armor pieces so that they could be connected and bound to Qianye's body.
The entire modification took an entire afternoon. Qianye put on the freshly made armor and tried out a few fighting moves. He felt particularly satisfied. He could also wear the inner armor from Darul under the warrior uniform.
.
When the craftsmen and mercenaries who were watching saw this scene, many of their faces turned green. Several craftsmen personally modified this armor and knew the weight of each component. Several mercenaries also weighed it themselves in battle.
The weight of the armor of the dark race warriors, they never thought that someone could move freely wearing this heavy armor of nearly 200 kilograms without activating the Force.
Qianye used the force slightly, and suddenly felt the force array in the armor showing signs of being activated, and couldn't help but feel calm in his heart. After he obtained the dark force training method suitable for him from the Song's ancient scrolls, he finally completed the entire cycle.
One of the benefits of Tian's Guidance is that although you can feel the force of darkness during operation, the breath of blood is not so obvious.
This is more conducive to concealing physical abnormalities for Qianye. The Force possessed by humans may be the most complex in the world, and having some dark attributes is not a big problem.
The Nerubian and Werewolf armors are thicker, but the effect of the Force Array is not bad either. These are components of Level 3 armor. If the Force Array is fully activated, it can weaken the bombardment of Level 5 Force guns to Level 2.
With such defense, it can be called a mobile fortress on the battlefield.
At night, Qianye discovered that his intuition was correct.
The scouts who went deep into the swamp returned one after another and reported the discovery of the dark race army. Since they had to cross the difficult and dangerous swamp, the dark army carried almost no cannon fodder this time. Instead, they were all regular soldiers, plus a small number of auxiliary troops.
According to their current marching speed, the forward troops will appear on the outskirts of Black Ni Town early tomorrow morning.
