Monarch of Evernight: 186 Retreat
bsp;The battle was fierce beyond imagination from the beginning. Even Qianye himself did not expect it to reach this level. Looking around, there are dark races everywhere, and all they hear in their ears are the war cries of Yong Ye. Dongyue doesn't need any exquisite sword moves at all. As long as he lifts up and cuts, he is guaranteed to gain something, and the space around him for Qianye Void to flicker is getting less and less. This is not a big problem. With the remaining energy of Qianye, there are not many times that he can use Void Flash.
Attacks come from all directions, including overhead. The turrets in the fortress were destroyed one after another, and the remaining assault ships finally had space to launch attacks on the ground. However, at this time, the fortress was crowded with dark warriors. They could not find a target to attack and could only continue to stare at the turret and attack fiercely.
The continuous flickering of the void gradually depleted the blood in Qianye's body. Although the Vampire Blade and Life Plunder brought a large amount of blood essence, they did not have time to refine it, so they could only rely on the blood core to digest and replenish it bit by bit, which was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
After feeling the weakness in his body, Qianye's fighting style changed again. He jumped directly into the middle of the enemy, stuck Dongyue on the ground, shouldered, elbowed, and kneeled. They were all fighting close to each other, and his body was like the wind. The reeds swayed violently in the collision. Each impact allowed Qianye to use his strength to attack another enemy. Only when he encounters a strong enemy with a title, Qianye will pull up Dongyue and kill him with a single sword with unrivaled power.
I don’t know how long they have been fighting like this. The enemies around Qianye changed one after another, but he just refused to fall. A werewolf viscount saw an advantage and mingled with low-level warriors and approached Qianye in an attempt to attack Qianye. However, Qianye suddenly burst out of his domain and suppressed it with the power of the vortex of the sea. In an instant, all the low-level warriors around him fell down. Then Dongyue swept across, The lone werewolf Viscount was cut in half with one sword.
This blow finally caused the morale of the dark race to collapse. The sound of horns was heard in the distance. The soldiers who had invaded the fortress retreated like a tide, and the assault ships in the air also returned to the rear. Most of their hulls were on fire, and they would probably be shot down if they continued to fight.
This is the first time since the war began that the dark army has suspended its offensive.
Qianye turned around and saw Song Zining waving to him from a turret, so he jumped a few times and used his strength to climb to the top of the turret. Now even for such a small movement, Qianye must save his energy as much as possible.
There are also two intact rapid-fire cannons and a giant crossbow on the turret platform. There are dozens of soldiers guarding the entire turret inside and outside, making the defense extremely strong.
Song Zining leaned on the giant crossbow and was lifting his armor, revealing a **** wound on his thigh. A piece of debris from the explosion of the assault ship was lodged in his leg, almost penetrating it.
Seeing Qianye appear, Song Zining smiled weakly and said, "Qianye, come here and help me. Remember to be gentle, be gentle!!!"
Before he finished speaking, Qianye grabbed the piece of shrapnel and pulled it out. When extracting the shrapnel, Qianye used vibrating force. The high-frequency vibration shattered all the flesh and blood adhering to the surface of the shrapnel, and successfully pulled out the shrapnel without causing any more damage. Even so, Song Zining turned pale in pain.
At this time, someone had already sent stimulants and wound medicine. Qianye treated Song Zining's wound, bandaged it, and finally gave Song Zining two injections of stimulants. There are no military doctors left at this moment. The last doctor has just died in the battle. If they are injured, they can only help each other to deal with it.
In addition to the wounds on his legs, Song Zining had more than a dozen wounds, large and small. When he took off his armor, the robe underneath was stained red with blood. These wounds look horrific, but every veteran knows how to treat such wounds. Qianye turned Song Zining over and cut off the battle robe on his back with a knife, revealing his **** back.
"Be patient." Before Qianye finished speaking, he pulled out two pieces of shrapnel from Song Zining's back.
Song Zining was caught off guard and couldn't help but scream. Qi Shao was still very tolerant of pain and was not as delicate as ordinary disciples from aristocratic families. However, Qianye's attack was too quick and he was completely unprepared, so he screamed.
Qianye paused and pulled out another piece of shrapnel. Song Zining remained silent this time. After the shrapnel was pulled out, he exhaled and said, "It seems like I have returned to the days in Huangquan, but I was the one taking care of you at that time. Speaking of which, you were really weak back then!"
Qianye snorted, grabbed a piece of shrapnel, and said: "You seemed to have a weak drinking capacity at that time. I don't know who drank too much and was discovered by the instructor, and then was tied naked to the playground for public display."
This is one of Song Zining's few dark histories, and it seems to have left a considerable psychological shadow on him. Song Zining immediately lost his composure and shouted: "Please forget about this!"
"It's difficult." Qianye's answer was always concise.
Song Zining became angry and shouted: "Qianye, I'm warning you, your seventh young master is not someone to be trifled with!"
Amidst another scream, the largest piece of shrapnel on Song Zining's back was suddenly pulled out by Qianye.
"How long have we been fighting for?" Qianye asked casually. He had been fighting like crazy just now and had long forgotten the time.
Song Zining thought for a while and said, "About three hours."
"The first wave of offensive lasts three hours?" Qianye sighed. This time was far beyond expectations, which also showed the madness of this wave of offensive of the dark race. If the Viscount-level backbone had not suffered too many casualties, I am afraid that the dark army's offensive would have continued until the fortress was destroyed.
Qianye looked back at the fortress below. What he saw was a ruin. The city wall had been completely destroyed. There was no possibility of temporary repair. Most of the fortress had been turned into ruins, with stones and many objects. An astonishing number of corpses were mixed together. There are several Zhao clan soldiers in the ruins, looking for their comrades who were seriously injured but not dead. No one was cleaning the battlefield, and the surviving soldiers were seizing every precious moment to rest, waiting for the next wave of offensive.
After just one glance, Qianye had a rough idea, and lowered his voice and asked, "Have we suffered more than half of our casualties?"
Song Zining nodded and said in a soft voice: "To be precise, it's 60%."
"If this is the case, we will definitely not be able to defend against the next wave of attacks. What should we do next?" Qianye asked.
Even Song Zining has been seriously injured, and the battle situation has become extremely bad. It is impossible for Qianye to defend the entire fortress by himself.
Song Zining did not panic and said: "The plan really needs to be changed. I have just sent a rescue to the rear, and the troops to support us will arrive soon.
Qianye nodded, his hand movements suddenly sped up, and he pulled out all the remaining pieces of shrapnel in one breath. No matter how much patience Song Zining had, he couldn't help shouting, "Qianye! Remember this!"
His cry was lost in the sharp roar and violent explosion in the blink of an eye. Several assault ships, led by two frigates, moved at full speed, setting off the prelude to a new round of offensive. On the ground, the reorganized army of darkness also rolled away, and the entire fortress was once again submerged by the madness of darkness.
Qianye patted Song Zining to signal that the wound was taken care of, then jumped down from the turret and smashed into the dark warriors like a meteorite, knocking them down.
The fighting begins again.
This time the attack of the dark race is more crazy and more violent. The strong men at the viscount level all moved in groups. After driving Qianye away, they began to pull out the turrets in the fortress one by one. The new tactics really worked. In the blink of an eye, two turrets were destroyed, and the situation was suddenly in danger.
However, as soon as this offensive started, a strange roar suddenly sounded in the air, and several imperial high-speed floating warships suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Their firepower was extremely powerful. One round of concentrated fire destroyed more than half of the Evernight assault ships above the fortress, and the remaining assault ships could only flee in panic.
Dozens of naval guns on these warships immediately bombarded the ground violently, clearing a passage paved with corpses. The warship moved quickly and flew over the fortress in the blink of an eye. A warship immediately descended and hovered over the fortress. Another high-speed transport ship opened its belly and continuously threw out small aerostats one after another.
These small boats look extremely crude. They can hardly even float in the air and fly crookedly. A few simply shook and fell to the ground. As soon as the boats hit the ground, dark race warriors immediately surrounded them, preparing to capture the boats. However, as soon as they surrounded the small boats, there was an earth-shattering explosion in these small boats!
For a time, flesh and blood and severed limbs were flying everywhere, and several fireballs rose up on the battlefield, rising slowly and finally turning into billowing black smoke. When the explosion subsided, several open spaces suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and thousands of dark warriors were reduced to ashes.
Seeing this scene, the dark warriors who were about to pounce on the remaining boats were suddenly startled and stayed away. The assault ships didn't dare to get close and just shot from a distance.
The battleship hovering over the fortress opened its belly and dozens of slings hung down. The Zhao clan soldiers on the turret immediately boarded the ship quickly along the sling without any confusion. In the blink of an eye, soldiers from several turrets boarded the battleship one after another, and even had time to hoist several expensive ballistae onto the ship.
Song Zining finally boarded the battleship, stood on the edge of the cabin and shouted: "Qianye, come up quickly!"
Qianye climbed up outside the turret, then jumped tens of meters, flew to grab a sling, and with a little help, he reached the battleship. The battleship then turned around and flew away, and the hatch slowly closed.
Several ships quickly withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only one behind. A moment later, the battleship with extremely fierce firepower dived towards the Yongye army on the ground with its body covered in fire, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion.
Although it was known that the battleship was only equipped with a minimum number of crew members, there were at least dozens of them. They knew early on that this was a fatal mission, but they still rushed towards the enemy without hesitation.
There was silence on the battleship, and Qianye and Song Zining were also silent, quietly watching the fire gradually disappearing.
The retreat was swift and swift, as if the surviving fortress defenders had been snatched from the maw of the dark army. Although ordinary soldiers suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 70% casualties, the school-level officers and generals were relatively intact. In particular, the two most important people in the entire fortress, Qianye and Song Zining, returned safely. In the eyes of the upper echelons, this is called " The combat power is basically intact", which is regarded as a victory in the defensive war.
