"Maelstrom?" In Qianye's impression, things about the empire seemed to be a distant memory. The impression left by the maelstrom was only that day's decisive battle in the Unfallen City. All subsequent accidents originated from this
time.
However, Qianye still remembers that the entrance to the maelstrom is not in a neutral place, and the opening time is quite limited. It was in order to compete for the quota to enter the maelstrom that the younger generation of the Empire and Yongye fought in the Unfallen City. But now it has
A long time has passed. Logically speaking, the entrance to the maelstrom has been closed for a long time, waiting to be opened next time. Why did it suddenly become the source of war in a neutral place?
Song Zining knew that Qianye was confused, so he drew the distribution map of the continents and neutral lands on paper, then slowly rotated it and said: "You know, the world we live in is not stationary, but is constantly rotating.
"
This is common knowledge in the world. Qianye learned it when he was in the Huangquan training camp, but he didn't understand it very well.
Zi Ning continued: "What kind of world the Great Whirlpool is, there is no conclusion so far. We only know that it is very different from our world, so there are many rare resources produced. There are only two passages to the Great Whirlpool.
One line disappears and appears, and it is the one we compete with Yong Ye for the spot. The other one is in a neutral place, but it cannot be used at all."
He rotated the continent distribution map once and continued to explain: "When the whole world rotates once, it is possible that the first channel of the whirlpool will appear. Although it is not absolute, the probability will be much greater. And this one in the Neutral Land
The passage could not be used in the past. Only a few people managed to get out of it, but they could not explain why they were able to come out. Basically, there was no return when entering the passage, so both the Empire and Eternal Night regarded this passage as unusable.
exist."
After a pause, Song Zining's expression turned solemn, and he said: "But when I arrived at the neutral place, I felt that the surge of force here was a bit out of the ordinary. After calculating this period, I felt that the tide of force was rare in a century.
Coming soon.”
As Song Zining spoke, he scribbled down large numbers and formulas on the paper as evidence.
Qianye couldn't understand what he heard, and he didn't even understand the large amounts of formulas and figures. These knowledge were too profound, not to mention studying, not many people could understand them just by listening. No wonder that through the ages, those who are good at deducing the secrets of heaven have
There are only a few people. It turns out that we still have to practice behind the scenes.
Such difficult and obscure knowledge requires both cultivation talent and intelligence. You can imagine how many people there are who can combine both. It is no wonder that people who are good at deriving heavenly secrets are often good at military strategy.
Even if he is not on his own, he is also a strategist and adviser to big shots.
Song Zining knew that Qianye didn't understand, so he briefly explained the tide of the Force. That is, every few hundred years, the surge of the Force in the entire world will go through a cycle from high to low, and then from low to high, just like
The tides of the sea are normal. Why this happened is a matter of dispute in the Empire and there is no final conclusion.
The empire was founded only a short time ago, and it has not experienced several force tides since its founding. There is a lack of data, so it is difficult to study. Although the Yongye side has a long history, most of the major races only rely on instinct and blood power, so they are not interested in exploring the world.
On the contrary, it is not as systematic and systematic as the empire.
According to Lin Xitang's inference, the reason why the Force Tide is generated may be because the entire world is rotating around an unknown target, and one rotation is a complete Force Tide.
This conclusion was so shocking that few people in the empire believed it. The strong men had already begun the process of exploring the void, but after flying over the edge continent, they faced endless void, let alone no end.
There is not even a place to stay halfway. And no one can tell whether there is still a place to stand in the vast darkness ahead. Even the Supreme Lord of the Eternal Night Sacred Mountain cannot see through this endless darkness.
The stars in the night sky look so close, but are actually so far away, so far away that it makes people feel heartbroken and despairing.
Everyone in the imperial court paid little attention to Lin Xitang's hypothesis. In the eyes of the emperor and important ministers, it was just a conjecture. Even if it were true, it was not as important as Lin Shuai's record against the rebels in the Western Continent. What's more, the empire and Yongye have been fighting for years.
Many battles are related to the fate of the country. If the empire dies, it will prove that the earth under our feet is round. What's the use?
For Qianye, what Song Zining said was too difficult and obscure, even more difficult to understand than the inheritance of the River of Blood. In comparison, it might be much easier to kill a marquis.
Song Zining did not expect Qianye to understand. After briefly explaining the principles of force tides, he returned to the topic.
We are currently at the trough of the tide of the Force. It won’t be long before the Void Force will usher in the calmest period in hundreds of years. During this period, the Force storm in the passage leading to the maelstrom will also become much calmer.
, at least it is no longer in a state that was absolutely impossible to cross alive before. If this is the case, then there will be a stable channel leading to the maelstrom.
Although it is relatively calm, the Force Storm still exists. But the value of a passable passage is needless to say. For this passage, Yong Ye and the Empire can start a new war. And this war is inevitable
It will involve many forces in the neutral land and cause chaos.
Not long after arriving at the neutral ground, Song Zining recruited Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan. On the one hand, they were to help Qianye, and on the other hand, they were also laying the groundwork in advance. If the incident about the passage was true, then in the fight with Yongye
This is why Song Zining went against the norm and did not take root in the Northern Continent and develop quietly, but chose to establish a foothold in Southern Qingcheng, the place of the Fourth Battle.
Qianye listened silently, then asked after a moment: "Do you think I am still suitable to fight for the empire?"
"You can't stand on Yong Ye's side, right?" Song Zining said with a smile.
Qian Ye stood silently, and Song Zining's smile became more and more forced, and finally stopped smiling and let out a long sigh.
Qianye finally said, "Why not? You should have felt it just now. My blood energy has far exceeded the force of dawn. By the standards of the vampires, I am already a marquis. Now it is getting harder and harder for me to control my blood energy.
With the development, maybe one day, the blood energy will completely overwhelm the force of dawn, and then I will be a vampire."
"What else?"
Qianye hesitated and said: "Also, if...she eventually returns to Yongye and wants me to go there, I will go too."
"Will you?"
"Of course... I will."
"Forget it." Song Zining was not polite, patted Qianye on the shoulder, and said: "Is it really a good thing for her to return to Yongye? You should know this better than me."
"Empire..." Qianye smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I understand, you don't want to fight for such an empire."
Qianye took a long breath and said, "Indeed."
"Me too, but there's nothing I can do. When it comes to war, how can I sit back and do nothing?" Song Zining also smiled bitterly.
"This will only continue the current empire. Does this really make sense?"
"Whether it makes sense or not is a matter for the future, but what we have to do now is what we do. If we don't fight this war, how can we escape? We have all hid in a neutral place."
Seeing that Qianye still looked depressed, Song Zining laughed and said: "Anyway, we have to fight, or we have to fight. Who allowed this passage to appear in a neutral place?"
Qianye snorted and said, "I'm not interested. The worst I can do is go to Hokuriku to hide."
"Really don't want to fight? There are sea lotus in the maelstrom!" Song Zining smiled with a treacherous look on his face.
"..." Qianye could only snort loudly to show his dissatisfaction.
When Qianye opened the door and left, Ji Tianqing's voice sounded next to him, "Are you so sure?"
This eldest lady had been hiding in the inner room. With her ability, Qianye was naturally unaware of it.
Song Zining sighed softly and said: "Don't look at what he said. When the fight actually starts, he will know that we are also on the battlefield, so he will naturally come."
"It's not us, it's you." Ji Tianqing said.
"No, it's us. Even if it's just you, he will still come."
Something seemed to flash across Ji Tianqing's eyes, and she suddenly slapped Song Zining hard on the shoulder, almost knocking him to the floor, and said: "Next time you do something bad, make your voice louder, so that this lady can't hear you clearly!"
Having said that, before Song Zining could stand firm, she disappeared from the spot.
Song Zining gasped in pain, and finally managed to stand firm. He snorted and said to himself: "Damn girl, do you think I can't see what's on your mind when you hit me so hard?"
The following January was uneventful.
There are many unusual things in the seemingly calm situation. In Nanqing City, the flow of people and goods has increased suddenly, and the originally congested streets often become blocked. People cursed the congested traffic, but at the same time they were happy.
To the increasingly heavy purse.
As material resources continue to pour into the city, the construction speed of various workshops has greatly increased, and new workshops are completed almost every day. For merchants, time is gold coins. Once a workshop is completed, it will be lost if it is left vacant for one day.
One day, almost every business house is recruiting craftsmen to make full preparations for the workshops that are about to be completed.
Nan Qingcheng's industrial system has begun to take shape, and almost an entire floating battleship can be built here. Anyone who is not stupid can see the huge business opportunities ahead, so they have once again increased their investment.
New investment means more people and more materials, thus accelerating the cycle even more.
As massive wealth gathers in Nan Qingcheng, how to ensure the safety of this wealth has become an important issue. In the face of real gold coins, the forces of Guanlan and Tingchaocheng are no longer important, and even the intimidation of King Zhang Tian
It also diluted a lot of it invisibly. When Song Zi
When Ning proposed to expand the army to prepare for war and build fortress turrets, all the trading companies strongly supported it and contributed money and efforts. They did not think there was anything wrong with the plan proposed by Song Zining. In their view, the more troops the better, even if the size of the troops has threatened
