Monarch of Evernight: The second phase of 179
bsp;Early in the morning, the Imperial Capital Station.
Song Zining got up early and rushed to the military headquarters. Now, with his position, he also has a quite spacious office in the military headquarters, which has a lot of land and a lot of money, and there are about ten people who are dedicated to it.
At least one benefit of serving in the military department is that you can see various battle reports at the first time, and you can have a grasp of the current situation in the entire Evernight World.
When Song Zining walked into his office, before he could sit down, the adjutant came to announce that someone was visiting him.
Song Zining ordered the incoming guests to be led to the conference room. He read the morning newspaper for a while before entering the conference room.
Sitting in the conference room was a capable general who looked very young, in his early thirties. He first performed a military salute and then said: "My surname is Zhang and my name is Zhao. I am currently serving under the command of King Dingxuan."
It turned out that he was from King Dingxuan. Song Zining knew it well, so he gave in and sat down on the main seat.
Zhang Zhao said: "The prince has some military affairs and needs your help."
"What the prince is concerned about must be a major matter. But there is no harm in talking about it."
Zhang Zhao said: "This matter is of great importance. The prince did not give me a document, but just gave me a letter of appointment. Here it is, please let Song Shuai take a look."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhao took out an official document and handed it over.
Song Zining first checked that the seal was intact, then opened the envelope, took out the document inside, and read it carefully, then nodded and said: "Being able to get the letter of appointment written by the prince shows his trust. Okay, what are the prince's orders?"
Zhang Zhao said: "This matter is also related to Qianye. Although Qianye and Ye Tong died together in the last episode, there are still a lot of things left behind that need to be cleared up one by one."
"What messes need to be cleaned up?"
Zhang Zhao observed Song Zining's expression and saw that everything was as usual, so he said: "The prince said that Qianye is really a great talent, and he has built such a huge foundation in a short period of time. Although he has passed away now, the foundation is still there. We must not lose it to Yong Ye. The first thing is the Hall of Heroes, which is a national treasure. We must get it back no matter what."
Song Zining said: "The Hall of Heroes has always been elusive, and no one can predict its whereabouts. After Qianye left, the Hall of Heroes disappeared. How to find it?"
Zhang Zhao said: "No matter how spiritual the Hall of Heroes is, after all, it still needs people to control it. As far as the official knows, there are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the Hall of Heroes. These people will always return to the ground, and the most likely place to go is, It’s the city of blue waves in Yonglu.”
At this point, he paused, but Song Zining had no reaction at all. Zhang Zhao had no choice but to continue: "According to our investigation, the warriors in the Hall of Heroes are basically divided into three parts, one part is the local human race of Yonglu, and the other part is The Emerald Sea Werewolves, but the backbone and main force are from the Dark Fire Mercenary Group from the Neutral Land. The main strong person in the Hall of Valor is Carol. She is also from the Neutral Land and comes from the Frost and Thunder Temple. Your Majesty, I think you have a natural advantage, Commander Song. Please put the overall situation first and don’t shirk.”
"Are you asking me to go to Yonglu, kill my old subordinates, and take back the Hall of Heroes?"
Zhang Zhao sensed that there was something wrong in the words and hurriedly said: "Of course we don't have to kill them. If they are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side and be loyal to the empire, that would be the best. We can also give more consideration to rewards."
Song Zining's face suddenly sank, and he sneered: "Are you talking about what the prince means, or what you mean? If King Dingxuan only asks you to say this, then please come back later. I will ask the prince myself about this! I, Song Zining, am not someone to be bullied!"
Zhang Zhao was startled, stood up in a hurry, and saluted: "Commander Song, please calm down! I don't know where I offended you. Your Excellency has a lot, so don't worry about it."
Song Zining lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly: "There is nothing to say, so let's do it."
Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "There are some things that the prince has asked you to agree to before he can say them. However, I might as well reveal them in advance. You must not mention them to the prince. In that case, the official's life will be at risk."
"Say it."
"The prince said that you have made great efforts in this matter. Afterwards, he will find a way to arrange a new legion number for you to accommodate your old subordinates in the neutral land. All mercenaries, as long as they are human race, can Arrange legal status in the prince's territory and become an imperial citizen. Qianye can share half of the land and interests in Yonglu with you. The prince can also send his confidants to take charge of the defense of the Yonglu area. I will take action myself."
Qianye’s foundation in Yonglu is already extraordinary, far above that of ordinary empire vassals. Even half of it would still cover several provinces, not to mention the prosperity and wealth of the City of Blue Waves. If the group of dragons is leaderless, it will sooner or later return to its original state of separatism. And with the wolf clan at the top of the peaks, the human race may be driven out soon. Only King Dingxuan's promise of protection can take over this place.
Song Zining's face softened slightly and said: "This is only reasonable. Is there anything else?"
Zhang Zhao cursed in his heart, Song Zining was so famous, why did he change his face when he saw the benefits? He still had a smile on his face, and at the same time he lowered his voice and said, "But the prince has a small condition."
Song Zining's expression suddenly turned ugly and he said, "If you have any other conditions, tell me."
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "This cannot be said to be a burden. The prince now has several granddaughters. The second princess and the youngest princess are both deeply loved by the prince, and they are also famous beauties in the domain. Song Shuai is not married yet, so it is not as good as Just get married? It would be a beautiful thing for the two families to become one family from now on."
Song Zining was thoughtful, a little agitated, but finally shook his head and said: "I just went back to the imperial capital to recuperate for a few days. I will leave for the new world tomorrow. I don't have time to deal with this matter."
"There will be no fighting in the Black Sun Valley for the time being. You will be able to come back soon. You can start this matter at that time."
Song Zining stood up and walked around, saying: "There are not only human races and werewolf natives on the Yong Continent, but there are also the tops of the peaks there. It is really difficult. If something happens, I don't have a single soldier on hand and I am unable to respond."
Seeing Song Zining's move, Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, the prince has arrangements for this matter. The prince will mobilize the elite of the army and equip them with enough strong men to serve as your assistance."
Song Zining nodded slowly and said: "That's very good! It's just that these people need to be sent to Yonglu in advance and lurk down so that things can be accomplished at the critical moment. If you are traveling with me, the target is too big. In addition, you must keep the secret!" There are heavy troops stationed at Yonglu at the top of the peaks. Once they are discovered, it will be terrible."
Zhang Zhao was in great spirits and said: "This is natural! Don't worry, Commander Song, I will make arrangements immediately after I go back and report to the prince! When you come back from the new world, everything will be in order, just waiting for you to take action!"
"Well then." Song Zining said goodbye.
Zhang Zhao also knew that this matter was a big deal. Before it was accomplished, the less contact he had with Song Zining, the better. Having achieved his goal, he stopped staying and left in a hurry.
After Zhang Zhao was sent away, Song Zining continued to read the battle reports as if nothing had happened, and at the same time ordered someone to retrieve a series of documents from the database. Among them are reports about Qianye, battle reports in other important areas, and many reports about various powerful families.
Judging from his access directory alone, Song Zining was preparing to officially take up an important position in the military. Any commander must be familiar with the military and political affairs of the entire empire.
After reading all the information, Song Zining ordered the car to be prepared for the trip.
Eternal Night Parliament.
There are still thirteen seats in the hall where the round table meeting is located.
But unlike in the past, the hall was filled with the momentum of the big shots stimulating each other. This time, although it was unprecedentedly full, almost no one leaked a breath.
The members present are also very different. Except for Metazord, the Lightless King of the Blood Clan, and Sosa, the Mosar Lord of the Wolf Clan, the rest are all members of the demon race.
The bronze throne that originally belonged to the Speaker was a mass of darkness, pure darkness. Although no breath could be felt, once someone turned their attention, they would feel a shudder as if they had been baptized by darkness.
On the left hand side of the Demon King is Crassus, the Eternal Flame, followed by the heads of famous families such as Macefield, Deep Dark Abyss, and Jerusalem.
On the right side of the Demon King is an extremely young-looking great wizard with short light blond hair. His target was the Speaker, who was still wrapped in a hooded robe, and then followed by several famous great prophets from Yongye.
With such an unreasonable seating arrangement, no one looked strange. Even Metanzo and Sosa, who usually paid the most attention to their status, had stern expressions on their faces and did not look away.
A demon prince stood up, bowed deeply to the demon emperor, and then began to report on the recent battle situation.
Different from the reports that members of the parliament get regularly, it is divided into two parts. In one part, all participating races and clans are summarized into a total number.
The other part is divided by region, detailing the number of casualties in clan units, as well as a standard deviation value that has not appeared in any public report. Judging from the final concluding statement of the report, more than 90% of the areas have reached the standard, of which the New World standard value is 120%.
After the demon prince finished his report, the speaker's voice came out muffledly from the hat, "We can start the second phase of the operation. Observation stations will be set up according to the original plan. In those areas that have not yet reached the standard, combat power will be invested. An increase of thirty percent. The Jerusalem and Wallace families are jointly responsible for the transportation and installation of all exploration facilities, and Master Merry is requested to coordinate all the prophets in place."
"Also, adults, please be careful not to let the new world's standard value exceed one hundred again." After speaking, the speaker raised his head and glanced at the Masefield family head.
Pallogia has not forgotten the pain of death of Duke Frey, the new generation of the Masefield family. He couldn't help turning his head and glared at Metanzo: "They are all cunning vampires. Any battlefield area they dominate , our casualties were particularly high.”
Medanzuo didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "Reno is the commander-in-chief of the Vampire Clan. Didn't you already go to him to protest?"
Before Palokia had time to speak, the Speaker had already calmly interjected: "The King of Blue has already made special arrangements, so there is no need to discuss it here. King Wuguang, how are things going on over there?"
Medanzo said slowly: "The Queen of the Night has gone back to sleep. If there is no accident, for example, someone with authority wakes her up, then she will not pay attention to the people outside the traditional territory of the Paz family. things."
This person with authority, of course, refers to the existing second-generation ancestors of the Vampire Clan. There are four currently in the active stage, the Blue King Reno, the Lightless King Metazord, the Fire Crown Habbs, and the Dark Gospel Howard .
However, Howard and Metanzo were feuding. After he woke up, he only appeared once and did not participate in any public activities. He disappeared from everyone's sight. The only thing that was certain was that he had never left the Twilight Continent.
The Speaker pondered for a moment and said: "Crown of Fire..." He looked at the Demon King sitting in the seat.
The Demon Emperor said: "I will handle matters related to him. You should avoid Spike's clan castle."
The Speaker was slightly startled. This was not in line with the original plan, but he immediately responded: "Yes."
Medanzuo's face did not change, but the five fingers in his sleeves bent a bit, and then he felt a will projected over him, sweeping over him. Metanzo was motionless, not even the slightest fluctuation in his blood core, but he knew in his heart that it was a warning from the Demon Emperor.
"Finally, there are the Eyes of Control and the Eyes of Destruction." The Speaker paused as he said this.
Meili, the master of demon prophecy, stood up, bowed to the Demon Emperor, and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't see any trace of them." He looked at Prattik on the right side of the Demon Emperor. , said: "Perhaps Your Highness Wuhui Nightmare can..."
The Demon King said: "Prittik will not participate in any camp activities."
His words were categorical, and Meili immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, then I will discuss countermeasures with my colleagues."
The Demon Emperor said: "No need, it's normal for you not to be able to see the human race's heavenly magic and the vampire's secret method."
Of course no one doubted what the Demon Emperor said, and the eyes of several people at the table focused on Metanzo, who lowered his eyes and folded his sleeves as if he had not heard anything.
Prettic said thoughtfully: "Dear Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Black Sun Valley has been beaten like that. After the results came out, it was the human race who wanted to save Qianye, and the vampire race Does anyone want to save Ye Tong? This game is really interesting."
The Demon King said: "Short-lived species are complex and contradictory creatures, and the vampires have many similarities with them."
Prittik was a little eager to try, "Maybe I can give it a try."
The Demon Emperor said: "As long as the influence of Lin Xitang's Tianji Technique has not completely expired in this world, you should be honest and don't touch things on the Liming side."
There was silence at the round table. This was the first time Lin Xitang's name was mentioned clearly in the hall of the Evernight Council after the Battle of Floating Continent.
Before, Habs, as the person in charge of the final stage of Floating Land, was always injured and could not come out to report on his duties. Just the tragic casualties of the sword-wielding guardians of the Black Sun and the transfer of all outer space fleets in the final stage, the impeachment received by the Eternal Night Council from all races could bury him.
However, the last of these impeachments could not be discussed. The Demon Emperor's repressive attitude was crucial. The Holy Mountain Supreme obviously did not want to hear anyone mention that battle. But today he said it clearly.
The Speaker coughed lightly and said: "Actually, we have made some hypothetical plans regarding how to deal with Mr. Marshal Lin's death."
"One is to start directly from the center of Da Qin. Based on our existing intelligence analysis, it is very likely that we can use this to provoke conflicts between their emperor and ministers. This method is more difficult at first because it requires finding Otherwise, the whole thing may not get started at all, but then there will be no need for too much investment. Daqin's internal situation will naturally push things to develop on their own. Of course, we may not be able to control the outcome. A sudden change of fate may be like the last Green Blood plan that failed in the end."
"The other is to start from the Western Continent War Zone where he once served, oh, the Fenghuo Continent. The situation there is complicated, with the Zhao clan, the military headquarters of the empire, and dissidents of the empire occupying two provinces. This method is relatively simple at first. There are many natural opponents among those types of people. It only needs to provide some talking points, and those who are interested will know how to use it. Especially since the Western Continent is the farthest from the center of the empire, there is more time and space. Let the rumors build a backlash."
Speaking of this, the Speaker glanced at the Demon King and saw that the Holy Mountain did not move at all, so he continued: "The first method requires a relatively mature insider of the empire, King Wuguang, your connections there, How is it now?"
Mei Danzuo said calmly: "After the **** funeral, the Great Qin Imperial Capital was purged, and basically nothing was left. Even some peripheral informants were moved to remote areas by the entire family."
The Speaker nodded and said: "In fact, we have already conducted a stress test on the second method. We provided some relatively vague statements about the Marshal to Da Qin's related parties. The upper echelons of the empire were very vigilant. We It is difficult to tell whether they are aware of a problem or have been under pressure. Among those who have different opinions in the empire, they have received a better response. It seems that they are happy to get some bad news about the suppressors."
The Speaker glanced at the Demon Emperor again, and then he got his answer.
The Demon Emperor said: "Okay, that's it. While the observation station on the Fenghuo Continent is being set up, you can continue your testing."
"Yes." The Speaker looked around the round table and said, "Then if you don't have any questions, we will fully enter the second stage after you return."
Souza, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, "What did Yong Lu say?"
The speaker said: "That place is not in our observatory plan."
Sosa said slowly: "In other words, I can handle it myself?"
The Demon King suddenly said: "The top of the peaks no longer have the advantage of the storm, so I hope not to make too much noise in those insignificant places."
Sosa nodded, still speaking slowly: "Of course, as you wish."
At the end of the meeting, everyone bowed to the Demon King and then left one after another. In the end, only the Speaker, Prattik and Master Merry were left.
The Speaker hesitated for a moment, obviously trying to organize his words, and then said after a moment: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the part of the trajectory that was originally planned to be searched by Marshal Lin?" He always used honorifics when addressing Lin Xitang.
The Demon King was silent for a while and said slowly: "It's just adding a control group to the Dawn Lineage. If we clean up a few more human settlements, we can also collect data."
For a while, the other three did not speak. If the general population is used as a control group, the number to be cleared is not a small number. Moreover, Lin Xitang’s role is not just a control group. But no one raised an objection.
Master Meili first said: "I will report the changes to the plan to His Highness Anwen when I get back, and come up with the modification results as soon as possible."
The Speaker also nodded and said: "Then I will make arrangements first to increase combat readiness."
After the Speaker and Master Merry left, the Demon Emperor smiled softly and said: "Only he cares about those ants. If you just clean up a few more, you can not disturb his rest, then it is still worth it, isn't it? ”
Prittik covered his eyes with his hands, tilted his head and leaned on the back of the chair. After a while, he said helplessly: "The premise is that your Excellency did not leave any backup plan."
Then things will return to their original point. The answer to the fateful connection related to Lin Xitang can only be obtained from Lin Xitang.
The Demon King's tone was gentle from beginning to end, "Then I can only hope that Habs will figure it out soon."
Prettic's heart suddenly shook, and his hands and feet were cold, but he did not move and still maintained his lazy posture.
