The arrival of the imperial envoy sounded the silent horn, and the bloody battle officially kicked off. Groups of young heroes came from all over the empire and rushed into the Iron Curtain without hesitation.
The Dark World also regarded this bloody battle as a grand event. The Eternal Night Council formally decided and also issued an astonishingly generous reward, including not only various weapons and resources, but also titles, territories and high-ranking bloodlines.
Under the huge reward, adult warriors from many tribes came out in full force, and even older children were brought out.
If you have a pair of high-level eyes at this moment, you can see that on the Evernight Continent, the warriors from the Evernight and Dawn camps are approaching like two tide lines.
At the edge of the Iron Curtain, an originally inconspicuous small town was now gathering many imperial troops. Suddenly, there were more soldiers than the original residents of the city. Most of the buildings in the center of the city were requisitioned, and the entire city lord's palace was transformed.
It became the headquarters. This small town was the place chosen by Zhang Boqian and Lin Xitang.
On the sand table that occupies one-third of the room, undulating hills, winding rivers, and scattered settlements are scattered and detailed, just like the real thing. If you look carefully, you can see that the surface of the model of important places such as fortresses, cities, and bases is
The Force array was also engraved, emitting various colors of light, representing different combat strengths and combat readiness states.
A deep black arc passed through the human controlled area, and most of the heavy ground models on the side of the dark territory were lit up, which was a sign of the completion of combat readiness mobilization.
As the last imperial military envoy finished reading his report, the towns in the western region of Mikawa County on the sand table also lit up accordingly.
The special envoy closed the folder in his hand. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his back was as straight as a fully-stretched bowstring. This was not because there was anything wrong with his report. In fact, there were many heads and stars on the epaulettes.
Most people in the war room were always in a state of nervousness like him.
The source of the tension came from the man in black and gold royal uniform in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Zhang Boqian never said a word from the beginning, and even kept his eyes focused on the window, but invisible pressure always enveloped the entire audience.
Lin Xitang, who was sitting at the head of the long sand table, raised his head from deep thought and said: "In this case, generals, please pay attention to the trends in the dark territory at all times. The meeting is adjourned."
The participants left the war room in a hurry. None of these generals from the empire's major legions and expeditionary force headquarters had been killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. But when Zhang Boqian and Lin Xitang were present at the same time, their performance
It's like a rookie facing an instructor on the training ground.
Many people dared to breathe a sigh of relief after walking out of the door, muttering to themselves that they didn't know what the Imperial Military Department was thinking. This time, they assigned these two marshals who had long been opposed to each other to the same battlefield.
The room quickly became empty. Lin Xitang stood up and walked to the other end of the sand table. He reached out and picked up a mountain model and played with it. He looked at the large mountainous area in front of him, as if thinking about something.
Zhang Boqian by the window turned around, glanced at the only major general still in the war room, and said calmly: "Get out."
The imperial uniform of that major general was a little different from the others. The golden piping was not a simple line but a cloud pattern, which was the symbol of the imperial guard. Under Zhang Boqian's extremely coercive gaze, he did not flinch and still stood upright.
Not moving.
In Zhang Boqian's eyes, there is a storm about to arise.
Lin Xitang's gentle voice broke the tense atmosphere, "Weisang, I have nothing else to do here. You go and rest first."
The major general performed a military salute and left without saying a word.
There was no emotion in Zhang Boqian's voice, "Your Majesty gave you the Thunder Cavalry Guards to protect you. Are you worried that I will be harmful to you? Or... are you... monitoring you?"
When Lin Xitang came to Yongye Continent, he only brought one battalion of Beifu Army Guards with him. General Leiqiwei of the Guards appeared here, obviously he had just arrived in the past few days.
Lin Xitang frowned and said, "Brother Boqian, please be careful what you say about this matter."
Zhang Boqian walked to Lin Xitang and stood side by side with him beside the sand table. He leaned slightly, glanced at the terrain in front of him, and said: "Although Yong Ye's side has first-level mobilization, the team entering the Iron Curtain has no special combat power.
And powerful people, are the Eternal Night Council not interested in the things of the Heavenly Ghost? Or do they already know what is behind the Iron Curtain?"
According to the intelligence currently obtained by the empire, the dark camp actively responded to the bloody battle. Judging from the level of combat power deployed and the number of giants known to have come to sit in the Eternal Night Parliament so far, it is not even as good as the last Eternal Night War that started inexplicably. This is different from the previous Eternal Night War that was started inexplicably.
The dark race's usual style is inconsistent with this, but no matter how many spies the empire uses, they can't get any more information.
Lin Xitang said: "The empire's original intention is to fight a bloody battle. Since the Eternal Night Council does not send many troops, we can also relax."
Zhang Boqian pointed to the area in front of him, "Red Scorpion seems to have gone on a mission to Yongye Continent some time ago." He drew a circle with his finger, including the western part of Sanhe County and the dark territory on the opposite side, "It seems to be this location.
The White Valve also had a team over there at that time. What's there?"
Lin Xitang was silent for a moment, "That's the responsibility of the Seventh Military Division, and I don't know either."
Zhang Boqian didn't ask any further questions, he just raised his hand and flicked it, and the force array on the sand table flickered in and out of light.
At this moment, for the upper continent of the empire, the reaction of the dark world is secondary, and the big shots are all looking at the country. The current situation is delicate, the existing clan structure has been maintained for too long, and everyone wants to make a move. But why
Time moves and how it moves is the key. An aristocratic family is the foundation of a country. Which restructuring in history has not been a bloody river?
However, the political situation is a matter for the big shots to consider. For Qianye at this moment, it is more practical to earn his own military merit with one sword and one shot. After sending Zhao Yuying to the Zhao family's aerospace boat, Qianye simply arranged a secret plan
As for Huo's military affairs, he packed his bags, left Blackstream City, and entered the wilderness.
The bloody battle has begun. Generally speaking, at the beginning of the war, a city with complete defense facilities such as Blackstream City will not be the target of a large-scale attack, so Qianye plans to take this opportunity to go hunting in the surrounding area first, so as to master the battlefield.
First-hand information on.
His first choice of target is naturally the territory of his old friend, Earl Nerubian. This Earl of Stuka was seriously injured by Qianye and Zhao Yuying last time, and he should not have fully recovered yet, and one-third of his eastern territory
It was snatched away by Qianye again, and a lot of resources were lost. It was the time when the vitality was severely damaged.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the Nerubian Earldom is the best target. Of course, such fat cannot fall into the mouths of others.
Qianye headed west and soon arrived at Silverstream Fjord. The construction of fortifications was still in full swing, and several light cannons had been set up on the commanding heights, barely controlling the canyon river. He did not stay here longer.
, crossed the canyon and entered the territory of Earl Nerubian again.
Qianye bypassed the werewolf settlement and aimed directly at the viscounty territory called Black Nest in the deep northeast. There was another spider demon entrenched there. He was already a first-class viscount and was said to be Stuka's brother.
There is also the earldom of Stuka between Black Nest and Silverstream Fjord. It was not originally included in Qianye's recent western expedition plan. Due to geographical reasons, unless the entire earldom is swallowed up, it can only plunder resources but cannot occupy land.
But it was different in a bloody battle. The double rewards from the empire and the Zhao clan made it very profitable to simply kill the viscount.
Qianye restrained his breath and walked leisurely through the mountain forest, always maintaining the best condition to meet the enemy. Not long after walking, a fishy wind suddenly blew in the forest, and a huge beast rushed out of the forest, fiercely
He rushed towards Qianye fiercely.
Of course, this kind of attack could not threaten him. One side of Qianye's body gave way to a frontal attack, and then his crimson fangs penetrated the side of the giant leopard's body, and the blade sank directly into the heart.
Qianye's hand flashed with a bloody light, and the rich blood essence rolled into his body along the blade. In the blink of an eye, the giant leopard fell to the ground, and its dark fur also lost its luster.
After easily killing the giant leopard, Qianye frowned. With his current ability to restrain his aura and hide his whereabouts, in most cases, even the earl would have difficulty detecting Qianye's whereabouts. However, the strength of this violent leopard is only level five.
The giant leopard actually discovered him even though he was far away and rushed towards him, which made Qianye feel a chill in his heart.
Under the influence of the Iron Curtain, in less than half a month, the giant leopard not only became larger in size, but its fur also turned darker, and its blood and essence were several times greater than before. This was definitely not normal. Qianye inspected the giant leopard's body.
It was found that all the organs in its body showed signs of overgrowth, so there was a vague guess that this giant leopard might have overdrawn its vitality, which resulted in a sudden increase in strength in a short period of time.
The next section of the road was not easy to walk. After just climbing over a mountain ridge, Qianye encountered seven or eight attacks, all of which were ferocious beasts of level five to seven after berserk. When they saw Qianye, they attacked crazily and would not stop until they died.
Of course, the ferocious beast did not pose a threat to Qianye. Instead, it contributed a lot of blood and essence, almost as much as a knight. However, such an attack seriously hindered his speed. Qianye discovered that no matter how he concealed his traces,
It seems that it has no effect in the eyes of these ferocious beasts. Whether it is a liger or a mountain crocodile, they can almost find him from a thousand meters away, and then attack madly.
There is no military merit in killing ferocious beasts. Qianye really doesn't want to waste time on them, but somehow these ferocious beasts can easily see through Qianye's disguise. In the end, he really has no choice but to take the clumsiest but most difficult method.
The direct way is to walk in a straight line and kill your way out.
The path Qianye chose was through the mountainous area on the edge of Earl Stuka's territory. This area was very barren and there was not even a settlement of the dark race. The journey that was originally supposed to be quite smooth in the plan ended up being stumbling. Qianye used it.
It took two full days to get out of the mountainous area, during which time nearly a hundred ferocious beasts of all sizes were killed.
However, although there was no military merit, it was not nothing. Qianye harvested a lot of precious materials from ferocious beasts, and absorbed more blood essence than a third-class viscount.
The moment he walked out of the mountainous area, Qianye suddenly felt that the sea and sky were vast, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Even the iron curtain above his head no longer felt so oppressive.
At this moment, a sigh of joy came from not far away, which made Qianye startled. He turned around and saw a vampire boy who had just walked out of the forest. His tattered clothes could still vaguely see the original
The texture is expensive and gorgeous, and the skin is covered with scars, either claw marks or teeth marks.
It seems that this young man, like Qianye, has been ravaged by ferocious beasts in the forest. Originally, the blood clan could make all kinds of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects retreat by releasing blood energy, but now it seems that it has lost its effect.
