Qianye, who has experienced forty-nine rounds of military battles, has a deeper understanding of power. Now looking at the sky that seems like an eternal night, there is another emotion in his heart, that is, the rules of the Iron Curtain.
The Iron Curtain restricts entry for counts and above, which is actually easy to understand.
For example, Qianye himself, if a group of ants pass by his feet, no matter whether they are carrying food or fighting, they will not take a second look. Even if they trample one to death, it means that they happened to appear at his foothold, so it can only be regarded as
It's unlucky. But if there are a few big bugs wandering around, or even cats, dogs and mice, which make you upset, you won't let them go anymore, but will kill them casually.
This realization made Qianye feel a little uncomfortable, and he thought mockingly to himself: No one would be happy if they found out that they were just an ant that could be ignored in the eyes of others.
Not long after Qianye left seclusion, a special guest arrived in Blackstream City, an imperial envoy.
The special envoy came from the military and was a colonel. He only brought a few followers and asked to see the Lord of Blackstream City. After meeting Qianye, the special envoy didn't say much and directly handed him an official document and a reward order.
, asked a few more questions about the defense of Heiliu City, then said goodbye and left, rushing to the next place.
In the eyes of the military envoy, there is nothing special about Blackstream City, and there is even a hint of pity in his eyes. This small city is located at the forefront of the border, and it is under the Iron Curtain. Once a bloody battle begins, sooner or later the city will fall.
After the special envoy left, Qianye opened the document and took a look. The content was similar to the summons order issued by the expeditionary force to each division. This was a mobilization order calling on all forces to participate in a bloody battle. The military merit rewards were higher than the normal standard.
The amount is doubled, and there are no status restrictions on participants in the war. Anyone regardless of high or low can receive a reward.
In addition, the empire has set up temporary bases in many places on the Evernight Continent. You can go there with proof of military merit to redeem rewards at any time, eliminating the cumbersome procedures of applying for military merit in the past. One of the most recent bases is located in the county seat of Sanhe County.
, it was even under the Iron Curtain, which shows that the Imperial Military Department attached great importance to this war.
There is also a map attached to the document, which roughly indicates the scope of the Iron Curtain currently controlled by the empire, which is the scope of this battlefield. Of course, if you want to go outside the Iron Curtain and fight the dark races, it is not impossible.
, but it is possible to meet a truly strong person.
It is not impossible to encounter strong people under the Iron Curtain. Some strong people with special abilities to hide their aura, or strong people who can suppress levels, can still move under the Iron Curtain. For example, Yu Yangbo of the Zhao Clan directly entered the Black Current City.
.
It's just that once they start fighting with someone, the fighting time must not be prolonged too long, otherwise they may attract the attention of the ghosts. Not only will their abilities be suppressed by the Iron Curtain, but the higher their level, the more likely they are to be attacked by the ghosts.
Qianye unfolded the map and looked at it carefully. The plotting this time was more detailed than the military intelligence report he got a week ago. When he saw the boundaries of the Fourth Frontier clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked. The Iron Curtain now covered more than a quarter of the human territory, and
Looking at the curvature of the outer edge, most of the places that are not depicted are still in the kingdom of darkness.
Although there is no information from the Kingdom of Darkness, if calculated based on the arc of the outer edge of the human territory, assuming that the complete shape of the Iron Curtain is roughly a circle, that means that more than 20% of the entire Eternal Night Continent is covered by the Iron Curtain.
.
Just based on the size of the Iron Curtain, the tyranny of the devil is beyond imagination.
Seeing this map, Qianye suddenly vaguely guessed the thoughts of some of the empire's upper echelons. With the help of the Iron Curtain, it was a great opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Darkness.
Putting down the documents and the map, Qianye opened the reward list attached at the back, which listed different rewards according to the various levels of the dark race warriors.
Taking the viscount as the baseline, if you kill a third-class viscount, the reward will be a level 5 force gun, or it can be converted into other arms or resources of equivalent value. If you can firmly occupy a viscount territory, include it
In the human-controlled area, the reward will be increased to a level 5 customized gun.
Just looking at this list, you can see that the empire has spent a lot of money on this war. You must know that there are only a few technicians in the entire empire who can manufacture level 5 or above firearms, so the annual output of level 5 guns is generally determined. Past military achievements
Rewards are settled in imperial gold coins, which can only be exchanged for some strategic resources under very special circumstances. As for advanced force firearms, ordinary people who have money can't even buy the standard version, let alone the special version.
Qianye flipped through the two-page list of firearms, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. He now has the Original Wings and Twin Flowers, and ordinary sixth-level force guns cannot be used. However, there are also many senior officers in Dark Fire. As time goes by,
There will be more and more people who can drive level four or even level five guns. If their equipment can be replaced, their combat power will soar.
There was only one short line on the last page of the list, but it firmly caught Qianye's attention. It turned out to be the highest purity black crystal!
Black crystal is a strategic material strictly controlled by the empire. Both the low-purity power-grade black crystal used as fuel and the medium-purity manufacturing-grade black crystal, one of the main materials of the Force gun, are in short supply all year round. And the Dawn Force can be converted into it for practice.
Energy-level black crystals are usually completely priceless and unmarketable. For example, Song Vale's training room consumes this kind of high-purity black crystals.
The empire actually opened the exchange of energy-level black crystals this time, which shows that it has compared the importance of this bloody battle on the Evernight Continent with the large-scale battles in the upper continent. Seeing this, even Qianye, who had always been calm, was moved.
.Although the price of exchanging black crystals is extremely expensive, having such a channel is better than not having one. If he can get some, maybe he can break through the warriors earlier.
As soon as Qianye put down the reward list, Zhao Yuying rushed over.
"How was the harvest from this retreat?"
"Not bad, at least we have figured out the next path."
"That's good. How long do you have to break through, General?"
Qianye smiled bitterly: "At least two months, if you include the battle time, it will be longer."
Zhao Yuying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't rush to break through, lest your foundation will be unstable. It's best to advance in the marrow washing pool. As for the qualifications, you don't have to worry at all. I will find a way to solve it. The worst is that I won't do it again in the future."
Get money from home!”
There was an inexplicable emotion in Qianye's heart. Zhao Yuying said it lightly, but this meant that she had converted all the resources she could obtain from the family into an opportunity to enter the marrow washing pool. However, he just nodded and said nothing.
say what.
Today, there is no need for any more polite words between Qianye and Zhao Yuying. Even though he did not intend to accept such an expensive gift, he accepted her heartfelt offer.
Zhao Yuying picked up the document, map and reward list in turn, and put them down after just glancing at them. The contents were not much different from the military orders sent by the expeditionary force. However, she seemed to have something else on her mind, but she didn't
Know how to say it.
Zhao Yuying rarely hesitated like this, Qianye waited quietly without urging. The tough beauty suddenly took a deep breath, swore, and said: "I still want to participate in the bloody battle!"
"Why?" Qianye asked.
Based on Zhao Yuying's status in the Zhao clan, there should be no shortage of resources to redeem her military exploits. However, there was an unpleasant quarrel over Zhao Fenglei's affairs before, and as a result, the team scheduled to be handed over to her has not yet arrived.
In fact, Zhao Yuying was injured and could not engage in fierce fighting for at least several months, so it was logical to withdraw from the war.
"For the Zhao clan."
This answer surprised Qianye.
After saying the words, Zhao Yuying finally said it out loud, "Yes, it's just for the Zhao clan. Even if I become like this, I still feel that I am a member of the Zhao clan in my heart. The Zhao clan's big tree will never fall.
Only the rest of the family, like us, can enjoy the shade. Although there are many people in the family that I don’t like, when it comes to such important matters, my surname is still Zhao."
"I see."
"The intention of this bloody battle with the Imperial Party is clear. This is to force the major families to show their cards. In order to reduce the vassal, they will do anything. The empire has been established for thousands of years, and the famous families have also existed for thousands of years. No time to reduce the vassal, it will not be bloody.
wind?"
Qianye didn't understand the political situation of the empire very well and was a little confused when he heard it. He frowned and said: "Cutting down the vassals? What does this have to do with the Zhao clan? Even if the four clans are to be moved, the Song clan should be moved first, right?"
Zhao Yuying shook her head, "My family, the Zhao clan, has a close relationship with the imperial family. They are closely related by blood. Many queens from our ancestors have the surname Zhao. Your majesty's current throne... is quite special. The descendants of the family are respectful to the Tang Li family, but the imperial family will eventually
Princess Gaoyi married Duke Chengen. Therefore, in the eyes of other wealthy families, the Zhao clan is an out-and-out imperialist, but in the eyes of the imperialists, we are also full-fledged wealthy families."
Qianye suddenly said: "So no matter which party gains power, it is possible to weaken or suppress the Zhao clan? This"
"My grandfather and several uncles have roughly the same view. Most of the clan elders should also think so, so their attitudes towards this bloody battle are particularly different."
"Well, increase the reward?"
Zhao Yuying, who was originally feeling heavy, laughed angrily when she heard this, reached out and hit Qianye on the head, "I knew the reward was all ruined by Song Qi!"
Then she straightened up her expression and said: "The clan has received news that someone in the imperial party wants to take action on the Zhao clan, and may secretly attack our clan's children on the bloody battlefield. The elders' intention is to kill to stop killing. In this way,
Establish prestige. Not only do you want to gain military honors, but if you encounter provocation from within the empire, no matter which faction you are from, as long as you are hostile to me, the Zhao clan, you will also be killed!"
After saying that, Zhao Yuying returned to her carefree look, patted Qianye on the shoulder hard, and said: "So, sister, I am going back to the Western Continent. I will try to recover as soon as possible and come back to fight. Although my combat power is slightly reduced, I am still stronger than the average person.
.Xiao Qianye, just take care of yourself!"
Qianye smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here!"
"What?" Zhao Yuying was startled.
"This is your token of participation in the war. Otherwise, if I kill the dark race, how can I credit you with the military merit?" Qianye said matter-of-factly.
"What did you say?" Zhao Yuying could hardly believe her ears.
"I mean, I fight in your name, but all the rewards from the Zhao clan and the Imperial Military Headquarters belong to me."
"That won't work, half and half!" Zhao Yuying objected fiercely.
"Twenty-eight!"
"Sanqi!"
After a vicious bargaining session on both sides, Zhao Yuying suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and she looked at each other and laughed with Qianye.
