Although Qianye was still doubtful, he couldn't miss such an opportunity. He started to charge directly, his arms were filled with crimson light, and the war hammer roared sharply again. After a round of violent attacks, the spider demon leader was knocked down on the ground.
land.
He stepped onto the spider demon's chest, pulled out the shining fang, and stabbed deeply into the heart. Rich blood poured into the body along the shining fang, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
After killing two spider demons and a werewolf again, the blood in Qianye's body was almost full again.
In the final battle, many high-level warriors still assisted Wei Bainian in killing Sodo. However, after learning the lesson from last time, Qianye did not use the shining light fang when executing the last glorious blow, but smashed it with a war hammer.
The spine of the werewolf general.
After this battle, Heini Town was completely razed to the ground. Although Wei Bainian was injured again, he seemed to be in a good mood. He left only a symbolic garrison squadron and a scout team, and returned to Heiliu with his army.
Cheng Qianye and the Dark Fire Mercenary Group were also taken away by him.
The first thing Wei Bainian did when he returned to Heiliu City was neither to strengthen the city's defenses nor to check the battle status of other front lines. He ordered people to prepare a grand celebration party and invited all the prominent people in the defense area.
The heads of Brahms and Sodo Split Soul were preserved using secret methods and displayed at the celebration reception. The battle report has been sent to the expeditionary force headquarters, but these two trophies will be sent to the empire to demonstrate martial arts.
Qianye was naturally one of the guests at the reception, and his mercenary group also got several places to attend the reception, which was considered an honor. However, he was still not very accustomed to such a grand event. After chatting with a few expeditionary force officers,
, he took the food and found an inconspicuous corner behind the pillars of the hall. The Wei family is indeed a noble family. They only had one day and it was during the war, but all the details of the reception were arranged impeccably.
Song Hu had been following Qianye and naturally noticed Qianye's expression. He waited until both of them had finished cleaning the food before he said, "Master, do you not understand why General Wei left so many urgent military matters unhandled?"
, instead of celebrating with great fanfare at this time?”
Qianye looked up and saw that no one noticed them, and said: "Although we won two games, the casualties of the officers were close to one-third, and the casualties of the soldiers were also about the same proportion. And this was only from one direction of the dark race.
Troops." What he didn't say was that the battle situation was not easy but more tense. It seemed that it was too early to celebrate at this time.
Song Hu seemed to understand what he meant, smiled and said: "Sir, when you get to the position of General Wei, you will see more aspects of the matter. For example, this time the Wei family in the Far East suddenly came to suppress the expedition.
The Seventh Division of the Army also killed a major general and division commander. Although General Xiao Lingshi did not speak, there were other generals at the expeditionary force headquarters. Even if those people did not show it on the surface, how could they not have any ideas in private? Even if they could not express it openly
Whatever you do, there are a lot of things you can do behind the scenes."
"Behind your back?" Qianye vaguely got a clue.
Song Hu said: "For example, let's take supplies and military pay. Originally, the materials allocated by the empire to the expeditionary force were insufficient, and now there are even fewer hands passing through the headquarters. Anyway, arrears are normal, and they are from top to bottom. As for the seventh division's collection,
No one will ask whether the number of arrivals is unusually small."
"Hasn't the Wei family been allocating military supplies?"
Song Hu chuckled and said: "The Wei family? The Wei family is far away in the Far East Province. It is more than ten thousand miles away from the Yongye Continent. If it is sent from other continents, the freight will probably be several times the price of the materials. But if it is in the Yongye Continent,
If we can’t raise funds locally, we can’t bypass the expeditionary force headquarters no matter what. In fact, it’s not just about supplies, but also about military achievements.”
Qianye's eyes turned cold and he said calmly: "Do they still dare to deduct military merit?"
"Why don't you dare?" Song Hu asked.
Qianye was slightly startled. The Red Scorpion he belonged to did not have this kind of custom. However, he had heard that even within the main army, there was unfair distribution of military merit. However, he never thought that an organized army would be able to fight a real battle.
Military merit may also be withheld.
"They dare to even touch the Wei family's military exploits?" Qianye couldn't help but frown, not to mention that Wei Bainian was not a nobody in the Wei family.
Song Hu sneered and said: "What is the Wei family? The Marquis of Fengjiang is considered the number one figure in the court, monopolizing the military and political power of the Far East Province, but correspondingly, he has much less say in the emperor. Expeditionary Corps
In terms of overall strength, it is still above the Wei family, but such a behemoth is internally torn apart and scattered, and Xiao Lingshi himself has a poor background, so his reputation in the empire is not obvious."
Speaking of this, Song Hu said proudly: "If the Song clan were replaced, let's see what changes they would dare to make!"
Qianye raised his eyes to look at Song Hu, then lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said, "General Wei, at this celebration reception, is he trying to get the word out first so that some people at the expeditionary force headquarters don't dare to go too far?"
"Exactly."
Qianye felt uncomfortable in his heart, "The merits of the soldiers who fought desperately on the front line will be deducted. Who will be willing to fight for the empire in the future?"
Song Hu looked calm as usual, without any anger, and shrugged: "This is the abandoned place of the empire, isn't it? Some people can't plan so much, and don't want to take such a long-term view. What's more, Wu Zhengnan
This thing is just a thorn in the side, some people wish that the entire 7th Division would be wiped out."
Qianye took a deep breath, not knowing whether to be angry or depressed for a moment.
At this time, a Wei family guard came over and said, "Master Qian, General Wei would like to ask you to come over. He is in the study."
Qianye nodded to Song Hu and left with his guards.
Song Hu looked at Qianye's back and smiled silently. This friend of the Seventh Young Master is an expert in individual combat, but in other aspects he is like a blank sheet of paper. It is indeed a typical result of receiving elite soldier training since childhood. If not
Unexpectedly, it will grow into the sharpest sword. However, everything that is too strong will be easily broken.
But now it seems that there is no need to worry too much. Although it does not match his surname, Qianye is very keen on strategies. Even if he does not make plans in the future, he should not easily fall into the trap of others.
In the study, Wei Bainian was standing in front of the war zone map that occupied one wall, his eyebrows furrowed and his face solemn. It was completely different from the way he looked at the cocktail party just now, where he was high-spirited and chatting and laughing.
"General, are you looking for me?" Qianye knocked on the half-open door and walked in.
Wei Bainian handed over a few pieces of paper and said, "Take a look at the battle report we just received!"
Qianye took it and took a look, and was immediately surprised: "Xiyan Town was lost? Zhonghui Town and Sanbai Town were also lost?"
"The entire defenders were wiped out, and only a few people escaped." Wei Bainian's voice was very heavy.
These three small towns are located on the border of the defense zone, which is the frontier facing the territory of the dark kingdom. Now that all three small towns have been lost, it is obvious that the army of the dark race has also appeared in that direction.
"Why are so many troops coming this time?" Qianye suddenly remembered something and asked: "General, how are your injuries?"
Wei Bainian sighed and said with a wry smile: "After two consecutive battles, the accumulated injuries will require a week or two of rest. It will be very dangerous if another warrior comes." This is also due to the special martial arts passed down by Wei Bainian's family.
Heavy Mountain is a top-level defensive skill, otherwise it would be impossible to kill a warrior of comparable strength without paying a price. Wei Bainian's current injuries are mainly accumulated from continuous battles, and he has not been seriously injured, which is an excellent result.
Qianye couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring. Looking at the battle report, the three border towns were defeated almost immediately. They didn't even have time to send out a message for help. The leader of the dark army must be a general.
If Wei Bainian can't stop him, the situation will be worrying. If Qianye succeeds in a sneak attack now, he can seriously injure ordinary warriors with a full blow, but it is absolutely impossible to kill him, and he will definitely not be able to counterattack from the opponent's serious injuries.
escape.
Wei Bainian let out a breath and said: "Although this incident is unexpected, it is not entirely unreasonable. I have made some preparations here, and this is the purpose of holding this cocktail party."
"To avoid being deducted from military merit?" Qianye asked hesitantly.
Wei Bainian shook his head and said: "Military merit is a trivial matter. As long as you are not a direct descendant of the generals at the expeditionary force headquarters, you will always be detained, but it's just a little more or a little less. I held this cocktail party to let everyone know that we have two
A complete victory. If I keep this military merit, no matter what I do next, no one can criticize me."
Qianye was slightly startled, waiting for Wei Bainian's next words.
Sure enough, Wei Bainian stretched out his hand and slapped the map hard, and said: "I have ordered that all troops withdraw to Heiliu City, and all peripheral towns are abandoned, including the Sishui Base."
This strategy immediately surprised Qianye. It seemed to be a taboo in military affairs to huddle up a large number of troops to defend a city. Without a deep front line, it would be an isolated city, not to mention that Blackstream City's city defense did not reach the strength of Dark Blood City.
Wei Bainian said: "The forces mobilized by the dark race this time exceeded everyone's imagination. Although I don't know what they want to do, the plan is definitely not the 7th Division, a barren and barren land. Concentrate all military forces in Heiliu City.
, whoever wants to eat us must pay a sufficient price. As long as the price is heavy to a certain extent, if I were the commander-in-chief of the other party, I would definitely take a detour and never get entangled in it."
Having said this, Wei Bainian returned to his usual indifferent and leisurely manner, and said with a smile: "The troops of the dark race are so sharp, it's time for our colleagues in the expeditionary force to have a taste of it. Let's see how many waves of attacks they can withstand and how many they kill."
War general."
Qianye couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Wei Bainian's approach of shrinking back and letting go of the main road was to divert disaster to the east. Not to mention the dark army that joined forces from several directions, even the army that passed through the black swamp, if Wei Bainian
Without advancing the front line, once the armies of Brahms and Sodo are united, it will be very questionable whether Blackstream City can be defended.
Wei Bainian patted Qianye on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "When this war is over, maybe Blackstream City will be yours."
