Monarch of Evernight: One hundred and sixty-five rushes to the battlefield

bsp;At least when he was just killing, Bai Kongzhao was not carrying this demonic sniper rifle that was so big that it would hinder his movements. It's possible that she put the gun in a secret place beforehand and took it out now. Another possibility is that, like Qianye, she also has some kind of space item in her hand.

This is not good news. At least in battle, the variables will increase infinitely. Qianye felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart. There were too many exceptions and accidents in Bai Kongzhao.

At this moment, the remaining dark warriors had run away, and Qianye returned to the battlefield. The surviving warrior leader limped over, bowed deeply to Qianye, and said, "Thank you so much, General, for saving your life! From now on, as long as the General is dispatched, we, the Shouguang Ji family, will never say anything!"

Qianye nodded, accepted his thanks, and asked, "Where is this place? How is the battle ahead?"

The man surnamed Ji said bitterly: "My family originally fought with Zhang Clan's army and successfully built the City of Twilight, but there were too many of those black-blooded bastards! They actually mobilized an army of two hundred thousand people. We came to besiege. Our number increased from 60,000 to 40,000, and then to more than 20,000. It seemed that we could no longer hold on. The general and Wei Guogong asked us small families to disperse and withdraw to the Zhao clan territory. . The general led Zhang Clan’s army and said he would choose an opportunity to evacuate. ”

Qianye's expression changed slightly. He also had a military background and knew very well that if the army was pursued by an enemy with superior strength, the return journey would be extremely tragic.

The general mentioned by the man surnamed Ji is Zhang Junshu, the second son of Hui Guogong, the lord of the Zhang family, and the current imperial general Zhang Junshu. In terms of seniority, he is Zhang Boqian's cousin. If Zhang Clan's current prestige is due to King Qingyang, half of the credit for Zhang Clan's impressive achievements in the past thirty years that have allowed Zhang Clan to remain at the top of the clan is due to this mighty general.

This time when guarding the City of Twilight, the retreat was irreversible. Zhang Junshu allowed the dependent tribesmen to flee first, and he personally led the army to cut off the rear and put himself in danger. Therefore, from the man surnamed Ji on down, when the general is mentioned, everyone's eyes are filled with gratitude.

The Shouguang Ji family is not even a noble family. It is just a relatively powerful family among the gentry. In a large-scale battle like the Battle of Floating Land, it is already the strength of the clan to be able to gather more than a hundred elite warriors. , if all these people died in the battle, the Ji family would definitely be in ruins, and it would take at least several generations to recover.

Zhang Junshu's decision saved many small families from disaster. However, the price will all be borne by Zhang Vale.

Qianye was silent.

Although the empire has established the rule since its founding that the greater the power, the heavier the responsibilities. On the battlefield, it was always the noble families who retreated first after the powerful families were cut off. However, for thousands of years, this rule has existed in name only. Qianye has seen many aristocratic families fighting each other and beggaring their neighbors. Bloody battles are a typical example.

Zhang Clan may be overbearing, and may have problems of one kind or another, but at this critical moment in the battle for the fate of the country, he adheres to the principles of the founding era. This alone is worthy of respect.

Qianye asked again about the reason for Bai Kongzhao's attack. The man surnamed Ji was so angry that his face was ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows what happened to that madman! He suddenly jumped out and started killing without distinguishing between friend and foe. I I heard that there have been several similar incidents, but once the lunatic took action, there was almost no chance of survival, and the **** Bai Wenbai Aobu tried his best to protect her, but the result was nothing. I didn't expect that we would have encountered her today! If you meet General Qianye, I’m afraid they’ll all turn into corpses now.”

When he said this, he seemed to hate and fear, but also felt lucky. Being able to survive the encounter with Bai Kongzhao is like a desperate escape.

After asking a few more questions, Qianye found out that he was currently on the edge of Zhang Clan and Zhao Clan's war zone, not far to the southeast, where Zhao Clan was scheduled to meet Zhang Clan. It was said that Zhao Clan had already built fortifications there. Prepare to stop the dark army step by step.

But the road between the Twilight City and Zhao Clan’s scheduled reception area can only rely on Zhang Clan himself.

In a flash of thought, Qianye made a decision and said to the man named Ji: "Except for basic defense needs, leave all ammunition and medicines to me."

The man surnamed Ji was shocked and said: "You, you want to"

Qianye did not answer, but pointed to the northwest, which was the direction of the Zhang clan war zone.

The man surnamed Ji suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and immediately said: "I'll go with you!"

However, Qianye shook his head and said nothing. Even if Qianye didn't say anything, the man named Ji understood that it was not a battlefield he could go to.

A moment later, Qianye headed north alone, towards the battlefield of blood and fire.

At this time, in the far north, Zhang Clan's army was rolling southward. This is a huge steel torrent composed of nearly a thousand tanks and heavy-duty trucks of various types. The black smoke and steam ejected/released intertwined to form a strange black and white cloud, shrouding the entire convoy. .

Less than a hundred meters above the convoy, dozens of floating warships maintained the same speed as the convoy and flew slowly.

In the deck of the flagship ship in the center, Zhang Junshu was standing in front of the porthole, looking at the twilight city whose outline gradually faded on the horizon.

This super fortress built by Zhang Clan and several clans and could accommodate a hundred thousand troops was now in a sea of ​​flames. The billowing flames and thick smoke reached into the sky and could be seen clearly from dozens of kilometers away.

With Zhang Junshu's eyesight, he could also see hundreds of large and small black spots flying up and down around the sea of ​​​​fire. They were the aerospace crafts of the dark race, which were doing their best to extinguish the fire.

The terrain of the Zhanghua war area is complex. The lake area near the misty forest is widely covered with sand dunes and is relatively flat. Stretching towards the Zhao clan war zone, the terrain rises abruptly, the shoreline is winding, there are many gravel beaches, and there is even an eagle-wing barrier that stretches across the snowline river at the source of the lake area.

Therefore, there is only one passage going south, and the exit is blocked by the City of Twilight. The lake basin in the rest of the area has a huge drop, and some places are glacial terrain that still shows signs of activity, making it unsuitable for large armies to pass.

This passage looks very much like it was formed by glaciers that washed down from the frosty land a long time ago. On both sides are cliffs hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters long, twisting and turning, hundreds of kilometers long, winding southward. Its narrowest point is only a few thousand meters, while its widest point is tens of thousands of meters.

However, in the vast continent, although such an ancient glacier road can be considered grand, it is not unprecedented. It's just that the Void Floating Continent is no more than seven provinces in size, so the glacier ruins on such a scale seem strange. It's as if the entire Frost Land has collapsed due to its length.

The bottom of the river today is quite flat, and many sections have obviously been repaired, and Force arrays have been deployed. The hurried Zhang Hu army was within the range of influence of the array. Even the heaviest heavy-duty trucks were significantly accelerated, and the army's marching speed increased by at least 30%.

After passing through this array area, which was about several kilometers long, the speed of the army returned to its original state. However, the section of road left behind suddenly began to explode violently one after another. Countless deep pits and boulders appeared on the smooth road, blocking the passage again. .

At this moment, on the other side of the Twilight City, nearly 100,000 soldiers of the dark army were stationed here. Looking at the sea of ​​​​fire in front of them, they could not advance even an inch.

Hundreds of aerospace craft of various models were shuttled back and forth over the Twilight City, scattering large amounts of gray powder into the sea of ​​​​fire in an attempt to control the fire. However, in front of the sea of ​​​​fire that burned the entire giant city, these hundreds of floating warships seemed to be weak and had no way to deal with the fire. After a long time, the fire intensity did not diminish.

On the periphery of the fire scene, tens of thousands of dark warriors advanced from the ground, extinguishing the fires ahead bit by bit, but the city seemed to be burning with every stone and support. The speed is very slow. It seems that it will take at least two or three days to put out the fire in the entire city.

At this time, a floating battleship appeared in the distant sky. The eight long driving rods outside the ship showed the identity of the owner of the battleship, the spider demon.

The battleship was incredibly fast. In a matter of seconds, it flew from the sky to the city of dusk and descended slowly. Along with it came the invisible pressure. Whether it was putting out fires or just lining up, the dark army below could hardly Withstanding it, they fell in pieces, and the formation was temporarily in chaos.

Several long horns sounded, and the various units of the dark army spread out in all directions, avoiding the pressure area, leaving a space almost half a block in size for the floating warship to land.

However, the floating battleship just stopped at an altitude of 100 meters, and a majestic voice sounded: "Why don't you move forward? You have been delayed here for a whole half day!"

Dozens of vampires in the dark army floated into the air. In the center was an old vampire with silver hair and wrinkles on his face as deep as the rift valleys of mountains.

He can no longer maintain his youthful appearance, and it is obvious that the long life of the vampire family is about to come to an end. However, the blood around him was as strong as substance, like billowing waves of blood surrounding him, unreservedly demonstrating the terrifying strength of the Marquis of Glory. As long as you take one step further, you can reach the threshold of the Duke, which is the class that truly controls the entire Yongye camp.

But when flying close to the floating battleship, the old Marquis's blood energy was suddenly suppressed and shrank violently. In the end, only a thin layer was left, barely covering the body surface. At this moment, he was still several hundred meters away from the floating battleship. If he got within a hundred meters, even the last bit of blood would be pressed into his body.

And the dozens of vampires who originally gathered around the old Marquis have long been left behind and cannot even get within a thousand meters. Judging by the way they were swaying, one could tell that if they got any closer, they might not be able to stay aloft and would fall down one by one under the terrifying pressure.

This is the most real gap, the power gap between the Nightmare Weaver and the Nerubian Grand Duke Ardak.

The old Marquis said: "Your Excellency Ardak, we are working hard to put out the fire, but"

Ardak interrupted him unceremoniously: "Nothing, I just saw you guys flying around like headless flies, leaving a hundred thousand troops there to wait. Why not start from Open a passage on both sides of the city, or simply in the center? ”

The old Marquis said: "We need to preserve the Twilight City as completely as possible, so now all the aerostats that can be mobilized are participating in putting out the fire. But the human race is very cunning. They seem to have been prepared for the entire city. The foundation is almost entirely made of black stone. Once it burns, it is very difficult to put it out."
