Monarch of Evernight: 187 Eternal Night Ranking

bsp;The offensive of the Dark Army was extremely fierce. According to the original plan, the first line of fortresses should have been held for at least one day. As a result, under the fierce attack of the Dark Army, they had to retreat early and retreated to the second line after only a few hours. line of defense. However, due to the presence of Qianye, the number of enemies killed in this defensive battle, especially the number of high-ranking nobles with titles, far exceeded expectations, and the blow to the dark army was particularly painful.

The two fortress lines of defense were not far away. In silence, the high-speed battleship quickly arrived at the fortress in the center of the second line of defense, put down the warriors and strong men who could still fight, and withdrew from the previous fortress. The ballistae also remained here.

Originally, Song Zining was supposed to evacuate to the rear together with the seriously wounded, but he strongly insisted on staying and served as the fortress guard commander. Now, this is not an easy job. According to imperial military regulations, whoever sits in the position of the highest official in the entire fortress must hold on until the end and cannot evacuate until the withdrawal is allowed.

There were several major generals like Song Zining, but he was the only one who had the qualifications to serve under Zhang Boqian, and he used this to grab this hot position.

The previous fortress fell too quickly and the retreat process was straightforward and decisive. Therefore, when Qianye arrived here, Zhang Clan's army had just passed by.

Standing on the fortress wall, Qianye watched Zhang Clan’s army go away. He suddenly sighed and asked, “Can we win this floating land battle?”

"Definitely." Song Zining answered without hesitation.

"Why?" Qianye was not sure where Song Zining's confidence came from. At least so far, the empire had been completely defeated on the floating land, and it was only a matter of time before the Song clan's territory was lost. In outer space, it is still difficult to maintain. It is said that the main fleet no longer dares to easily fight the Yongye Fleet.

Can we still win in this situation?

Song Zining pointed to the top of his head and said: "This battle was planned by Lin Shuai, and Zhang Shuai will control it. How could we lose?"

Qianye was a little stunned, and after a moment he said: "I didn't expect you to have such confidence in them. Is this considered... worship?"

Song Zining shrugged and admitted frankly: "That's right."

Qianye looked at Song Zining carefully for a while and found it hard to believe that he could actually admire him.

At this time, several groups of soldiers came out of the fortress and began to bury something in the area outside the fortress. Qianye asked: "What are they burying?"

"I asked them to bury the mines."

Qianye was speechless. Landmines, an ancient weapon with a history of thousands of years, can now only be seen in the most remote and desolate continents like Yongye, and are still used on marginal battlefields. A landmine cannot even seriously injure senior soldiers, so they have long been eliminated by the Imperial Army. Even if Song Zining had a wild imagination, where did he find so many landmines?

Faced with Qianye's question, Song Zining smiled slightly and said, "I saw that you used grenades well in the last battle, so I came up with such a temporary arrangement. This is considered a large mine."

Song Zining ordered someone to bring over a box of so-called land mines. It is said to be a landmine, but it is actually made of artillery shells and grenades bundled together with a fuse. This thing is indeed very powerful, and the soldiers outside the city buried it so densely that one would be buried every ten meters.

Song Zining handed the 'landmine' back to the soldier and said to Qianye: "Not everyone can use your method of throwing grenades, at least not me. So I thought of this stupid way. Fortunately, Zhao Clan was well prepared, even a lot of grenades and shells were prepared. As soon as I opened my mouth, a whole boatload came over."

After seeing this landmine, Qianye understood that Song Zining was following his method and first killed a large number of cannon fodder and low-level soldiers. If a senior soldier is accidentally in the core range of the explosion, it is equivalent to being directly hit by a heavy artillery, and may also be seriously injured. This weeding tactic can highlight high-end enemies and increase the kill rate.

At this moment, on the Floating Continent, the army of darkness spreads over the hills and valleys like a tide. The three fortresses on the front line were like three rocks, but they were washed away one by one in the torrent. The fortress where Qianye and Song Zining were stationed was under the greatest pressure, but it was the last one to be conquered. The losses suffered by the dark race in this fortress exceeded the sum of the other two fortresses.

After arriving at the second line of fortress, Qianye only enjoyed a few hours of peace before being attacked again by the dark army.

The war was extremely difficult, unprecedentedly difficult.

Qianye's will, which he had forged in Huangquan, was somewhat shaken by the seemingly endless killings. Not long after the guard battle began, Qianye fell into a heavy siege. Looking around, all dark warriors were visible. At this moment, killing has become a physical instinct. Qianye's brain seems to have stopped thinking, and he only relies on instinct to mechanically dodge, block, attack, and kill.

The battle seems to never end.

I don’t know how long it took, Qianye suddenly felt that the pressure was relieved, and the dark warriors around him suddenly became sparse. At this time, there was the roar of engines above his head. He looked up and saw two long-lost imperial warships hovering over the fortress. The belly hatch of the ship slowly opened and dozens of slings were dropped.

It was only then that Qianye realized that it was time to retreat again?

Looking around at this moment, you can see that it is full of ruins. Almost all the buildings in the fortress have been destroyed. There are corpses everywhere. The dark race and the imperial warriors are mixed together, no longer distinguishable from each other.

The battleship still suppressed the dark race with fierce firepower, and the surviving warriors quickly climbed up along the slings and entered the battleship. At the open hatch, a familiar figure appeared. Zhao Yuying crouched and knelt at the hatch, the hand cannon in her arms roaring continuously, without any regard for the force, knocking to the ground one by one the senior warriors missed by the cannon.

As the fortress commander, Song Zining was the last one to board the ship as usual, but he struggled to hold on to the sling. The clean combat uniform he had changed into was now stained with blood, and it seemed that a lot of new things had been added to it. hurt.

Qianye was also moving closer to the battleship, killing fish that slipped through the net along the way. He glanced at Song Zining, who was still climbing hard, and couldn't help but frown.

If Qianye belongs to the Yongye camp, then Song Zining is the best sniper target at this moment. As soon as this idea came up, Qianye saw a flash of light from the corner of his eye. In an instant, Qianye knew that it was a Force sniper bullet, an extremely powerful sniper bullet!

In an instant, the blood core in Qianye's chest expanded extremely, and then suddenly contracted. Amid the violent ups and downs, a massive amount of blood energy burst into all parts of his body, and surging power surged out from every corner of his body!

With a bang, the ground under Qianye's feet cracked and sank, and in the blink of an eye a huge shallow pit appeared. Qianye had already risen into the air like a cannonball, shooting towards the turret, slamming into the turret, and then accelerated again. , Song Zining flew into the air.

On the battleship, Zhao Yuying also saw the sniper bomb coming from a distance. She put down the hand cannon and reached out to grab the sling hanging Song Zining. But the sling was still some distance away from her, and there was no time to rescue her.

At this moment, Song Zining felt the danger coming from behind, but his whole body was weak. He was doing his best to hang on the sling, and he was unable to dodge and block. At the moment of life and death, he actually managed to laugh and raised his right hand with great effort. It seemed that he either wanted to say hello to Zhao Yuying or wipe the blood and stains on his face so that he could die in a clean and dignified manner.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, then suddenly accelerated and returned to normal.

Qianye suddenly appeared behind Song Zining. The sniper bullet hit his vest directly, and he collided hard with Song Zining under the huge thrust. Qianye grabbed the sling with one hand, and grabbed Song Zining who was knocked out with the other hand. Then he shouted, suddenly exerted force, and rushed into the battleship engine room with Song Zining.

Zhao Yuying grabbed the hand cannon and fired several shots in the direction of the sniper bullets, suppressing the terrifying sniper. The battleship had completed the rescue mission, quickly took off, closed the hatch slowly, and turned around.

In a patch of rocks outside the fortress, a mound slowly arched up, and then a Vampire Earl broke through the ground. He shook off the dirt and gravel from his body, looked at the warship in the distance, and snorted, his eyes full of anger.

As a true superior, he has been lying in wait on the battlefield since the beginning of the war, and has been holding back for the sake of the perfect opportunity just now. But he didn't expect that the killing blow would be destroyed by Qianye under impossible circumstances.

In the Eternal Night Council's bounty ranking list, among the younger generation of the empire, Song Zining's ranking is now only below Zhao Jundu, far higher than Qianye. In the eyes of the big shots in the parliament, Song Zining, who has great personal strength and has shown extraordinary leadership talents at a young age, is worth far more than Qianye. The Eternal Night Council does not want another Lin Xitang-like figure to appear in the empire in the future. Just one Lin Xitang has already caused them enough suffering.

As for Qianye, although he shined for a while in the **** battle, his potential and resources are limited in the evaluation of the upper-class people. The bounties for the heirs of many aristocratic families are higher than those of Qianye, not to mention those who have emerged in the imperial family. The prince and princess.

This is a shot that has been prepared for a long time, and it is also his unique ability. After firing such a powerful shot, he was unable to fight again for the next few days. Such a shot failed to hit the target, but hit Qianye by mistake. Naturally, he couldn't help but feel upset. After all, Song Zining's reward was so rich that it made his heart flutter, but the reward from killing Qianye was less than one-third of Song Zining's.

Just thinking about Qianye's demon-like intuition and lightning-thunder-like movement speed just now, he suddenly shuddered. Vaguely, he felt that it would be good to kill Qianye. If he faced Qianye head-on on the battlefield, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold the bunch of losers in the parliament's offices. Qianye's information was obviously wrong, and the reward given was too low.
