Monarch of Evernight: 150 The Endless War
bsp;Wei Potian came out of the barracks and walked towards the headquarters. His armor was now in tatters and stained, and his face was unshaven, having not been trimmed for several days. Like everyone else on the base, totally raunchy.
The two soldiers who were carrying supplies boxes did not notice Wei Potian walking over and were chatting quietly.
"When will this battle end?!"
The older veteran had a blank look on his face, "Let's fight. I'll beat you until I'm dead, so there's no need to worry about this problem."
The young soldier said: "Look at this, it won't be our turn in a few days, right?"
"At least I'm alive today."
The young soldier's face showed an indignant expression, and he lowered his voice and whispered: "We have suffered so many defeats! What kind of military **** can you call him a military **** after fighting like this?"
The veteran hurriedly hissed and said: "Be careful! If you dare to criticize the marshal, you will be punished by military law!"
The young soldier also became angry and said: "The worst case is death! How many more days can those who enforce military law survive than me?"
The veteran sighed and said: "At least we are still alive now. As long as we are alive, there may be miracles."
"What a miracle! In my opinion, the guy opposite should be called the God of War, and his subordinates are the miracles!"
The veteran looked up at him and said, "It's not like you can know this."
The recruit suffocated, and then said nonchalantly: "I know many children from aristocratic families, and they all say so."
The veteran sighed and said, "Well, you all come from aristocratic families after all."
The young soldier was indignant, "What's the use of that? Aren't we just going to die as cannon fodder?"
Wei Potian couldn't stand listening anymore and coughed.
The two soldiers were startled, and when they saw it was him, they quickly saluted, their faces pale. Wei Potian wanted to have an attack, but when he saw the blood-stained bandages on their bodies, he sighed secretly, shook his head, and turned away.
After a while, he walked into Song Zining's office. Song Zining was immersed in a tall pile of documents, reviewing them quickly. When Wei Potian walked in, he pushed over a pile of documents without even raising his head and said, "Help me take care of these."
Wei Potian said: "What time has it been and you are still processing documents!"
Song Zining stopped reviewing and said: "I have taught you so many times that war is not just about the front line. Logistics is equally important, even more important than the front line. In a war like ours now, as long as the supplies are not available for a day, If I don’t handle it, the battle situation will collapse immediately. Can you imagine a battle without aerospace transport? These documents are logistics. If I don’t handle them, the entire system will stop running..."
Wei Potian took the document and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about your big ideas, I will do it for you. But, do you know what the outside world is saying about you now?"
"You can roughly guess it."
"Hmph, they say you are a fake military god. You used to be lucky enough to win battles. Now you have finally revealed your true colors."
"As expected."
Song Zining didn't take it seriously, but Wei Potian quit, jumped up, and said, "How could they say that! It's obvious that those guys were greedy for credit and delayed the military orders and refused to withdraw, which caused the delay. The fighter plane was defeated by the dark race, but now it pours all the dirty water on your head!"
Song Zining raised his head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the military department will give me a public opinion."
"These guys always take it for granted that you can predict the enemy's actions! Isn't there a price for the secret technique? Why do they say that!"
Song Zining sighed and said: "Originally, one of the reasons why I sat in this position is that the magic of heaven can defeat the dark races. Therefore, this accusation cannot be overstated."
Wei Potian was awakened by cruelty, and his expression couldn't help but change. After all, Song Zining was different from himself and Zhao Jundu. He was alone when he was rising. His comet-like promotion speed was of course because he was useful and irreplaceable.
He stayed for a moment, then sighed and said, "You can't count her actions?"
"She can compete with King Dingxuan, what do you think? To say the least, she has Storm and Jingmeng in her hands. Even if she only has one, I can't count her."
"What should I do?"
"Fight a normal war."
"How to fight?" Before he could finish the question, Wei Potian waved his hand, "Forget it, how to fight is your business, I won't bother with that. I'll help you handle these documents first."
The office fell silent, with only the sound of rustling writing.
After a while, Wei Potian suddenly sighed, as if muttering to himself: "Why did she suddenly become so cruel?"
Song Zining's hands froze, and then he started grading again.
Not far from the advance base, there is also a base on a hill.
This base is smaller in size, but its defense is stronger. It is obviously built purely for defense. Its location is quite good, with open areas on three sides, commanding the surrounding area.
From this base, the coverage area of long-range heavy artillery almost reaches the main base in the rear. In this way, the open area in front of the main base has become a death area.
On the wall of the fortress, Zhao Jundu stood in the wind, squinting his eyes slightly and looking into the distance.
At the end of the horizon, the outline of a large camp can be faintly seen. That was the camp of the dark race, much larger than his small fortress, at least ten times larger than here.
A general stood nearby, with a hint of worry, and said: "Sir, the strategy of the dark race has changed. They are pressing forward step by step, squeezing us to the point of being unable to move!"
Zhao Jundu nodded slowly, "Yes, their commander has also changed."
"This is strange to me. The dark races have always disliked each other, and they fight each other on the battlefield. So they can only fight mobile warfare and never like positional warfare. But now, look at them, they are taking one step at a time. , the camp has been built here. The cooperation is quite tight!"
Zhao Jundu said: "If you knew who the commander on the opposite side was, you wouldn't be so surprised."
"Well, I'm not their opponent anyway. But when it comes to marching and fighting, my old horse is really not afraid of these black-blooded brats!"
Zhao Jundu patted him on the shoulder and said: "When I was rushing forward to kill, thank you for taking care of me from behind."
The general blushed and said: "If you hadn't taken over the strong men on the opposite side, how could we have stopped them? Hey, what is that?"
There was a sudden commotion in the dark race camp, and then dozens of fire streams shot into the sky, forming a fire net in the sky.
Several aerostats appeared in the sky, flying at full speed and crashing into the fire net.
The dark race seemed to be caught off guard, and the fire net was not dense enough, so they were rushed over by these airships. Half of one of the ships was burning, but it still flew tenaciously and refused to crash.
"It's our people! Get ready to respond!" Zhao Jundu ordered.
On the turret inside the fortress, several heavy cannons were ready to fire, and then roared, blasting out an isolation zone in the middle to intercept the pursuers of the dark race.
Several aerostats finally flew over the fortress and landed one by one, while the burning aerostat barely glided for a while, finally failed to hold up and crashed outside the fortress.
The fortress gate opened, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out to rescue survivors from the wreckage. Fortunately, the aerospace craft contained elites, most of whom survived their injuries and were snatched back to the fortress.
In the blink of an eye, the open space in the fortress was filled with wounded people. Many injured people will receive preliminary treatment here, and the seriously injured ones will be transferred back to the main base for rescue.
Zhao Jundu walked among the wounded, inspecting back and forth.
He suddenly saw a group of soldiers gathered together. Most of them were intact, which was very different from the soldiers around them who were more or less injured.
This group of soldiers is obviously well-equipped and is one level stronger than the regular army of the empire. The leader is a young man with good strength and has already achieved the level of a warrior.
Zhao Jundu walked over and said in a deep voice: "Which family are you from?"
When the young master saw it was Zhao Jundu, no matter how unruly he was, he quickly stood up, put on a respectful attitude, and said: "I am Zhang Tianhe, who is from a branch of the Zhang clan. These are the private soldiers of our house, and they have followed It’s been with me for many years.”
Zhao Jundu glanced over and said: "There is still a lot of ammunition left. It seems that the battle on the front line is going well."
Zhang Tianhe had a sudden thought and said: "The area we are responsible for defending is not the main attack direction of the dark race. In addition, we have always been careful and willing to spend money on brothers' equipment, so our ammunition base , there is always more.”
Zhao Jundu nodded, "Very good, I am short of manpower here, you can stay. Don't worry, I will put you in front of the fortress. There will be no shortage of enemies there, and you will not run out of ammunition."
Zhang Tianhe was shocked and said hurriedly: "Sir, you are kidding me! Our department has received a military order from the headquarters to withdraw from the empire. If we stay here, we will violate the order."
"The military order has changed."
"How can a military order be changed at the drop of a hat? That secret order is on the body of General He Yong. I will get it right away."
Zhao Jundu said every word: "The military order has been changed."
Zhang Tianhe suddenly felt cold all over and stopped quickly.
He knew in his heart that as long as he took another step and angered Zhao Jundu, there would probably be no good end. But staying in this forward fortress is probably a dead end. When he just flew over the dark race camp, he had already seen that the large camp below was filled with people. There were hundreds of thousands of them.
There are only a few thousand defenders in the small fortress of Zhao Jundu. How can they stop the 100,000-strong army of the dark race?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhe became worried and said: "Sir, how can the military order be changed? I am sorry that this matter is difficult to obey! I will confirm with the military department later. If there is indeed a change, I will come back to apologize to you. ."
"Are you going to disobey the order?"
Zhang Tianhe said loudly: "Master Zhao, I don't know where I have offended you, and I want you to target me like this. But if you insist on forcing me, I will not be polite. Now the dark race is so powerful, why? Others don’t know, but I accidentally heard some news. It seems that the lady on the other side was a woman from your Zhao family. Do you want to hide it from everyone in the world?”
"Are you done?" Zhao Jundu said calmly.
"Isn't it enough?"
"Just say it." Zhao Jundu raised his hand and fired, hitting Zhang Tianhe between the eyebrows.
Zhang Tianhe's eyes widened, never expecting that Zhao Jundu actually fired. With a face full of astonishment, he fell to the sky.
Zhao Jundu said: "For Zhang Clan's sake, I won't convict him of disobeying military orders. Let's write him on the death list."
Zhang Tianhe was executed, but his private soldiers dared to resist. They were all dejected and walked to their posts honestly.
