At this time, Hokuriku already had the prototype of a small city, and there were several small towns scattered around it. Although the small town is not big, it is well planned. The workshops have either been put into production or are under construction in full swing.
The Hall of Valor was parked outside the city, and the huge hull itself seemed like a town. Hundreds of craftsmen are busy coming in and out, cleaning up damage, replacing equipment, and dismantling faulty equipment for repairs.
Qianye's frigate landed outside the city, and as soon as he stepped off the ship, his gaze was attracted by the cemetery at the foot of the hill in the distance. In my memory, the cemetery was just a plan, still on paper, and now it has become a real thing. However, the most important thing is that the tombstones have been erected.
"Go and have a look." Qianye ordered, then flew into the sky and flew towards the cemetery.
The cemetery is divided into several areas, each area has a different style, and even the tombstones have a strong tribal style. For example, those tombstones with mechanical parts and guns and ammunition are the cemeteries of the Gaohu people. A square stone or wooden tombstone is an orthodox human race. There is another area, no smaller than that of the human race and the Gaohu people, but there are only a few tombstones in it. Each stele is made of white stone carved with patterns of ice crystals and thunder. This is the mark of the Frost Thunder Temple, and judging from the craftsmanship of the tombstone, it is obvious that the buried people are not ordinary people.
"How is this going?"
The entourage guarding the cemetery said: "When I returned to the Hall of Valor a few days ago, many corpses were lifted from above and buried here. The division of the area was determined by Master Qingyue and His Royal Highness Carol."
Qianye nodded, turned his head to look at the small town, sensed Carol's aura, and went straight to the small town. After the Battle of Baicheng, the Hall of Valor returned to the Northland first, and Qianye hadn't had a good chat with Carol yet.
In a quiet courtyard in the city, Carol was sitting in the courtyard reading a book, wearing a casual dress. Seeing Qianye descending from the sky, she first ordered someone to prepare a new cup of tea, then waved away her followers, looked Qianye up and down, looked at Qianye, her eyes gradually became surprised, and said: "I can't see through you now! gone?"
Qianye was also a little surprised, "No way? I don't seem to have made much progress. But you..."
Carol's aura was obviously weak, and it was not much better than when the battle was taking place, indicating that her injuries were much more serious than Qianye expected.
Carol smiled and said: "That old spider is really difficult to deal with. If he hadn't injured the Hall of Valor, the earth dragon had the remaining will to launch a counterattack on its own and severely injured him, and you might not see me now."
Qianye said: "Why didn't you tell me that your people were also killed or injured?"
"This is your war, and it is also our battle for pioneering. For a territory that can survive, sacrifice is necessary and worthwhile. So I don't think it is necessary to tell you more, just give them a peaceful cemetery." .It's nice here, I like it very much."
Qianye could only sigh.
The battle of the Hall of Valor was obviously much more intense than what everyone on the ground had expected. He and Song Zining were careless at the beginning, thinking that with Carol and her clan in charge, it would be safe. Looking at it now, if it wasn't for the earth dragon's will to fight back on its own, the Nerubian Duke who embraced death might have caused fundamental damage to the dragon ship, or at least paralyzed the dragon ship.
Once the control engine attached to the heart of the earth dragon is destroyed by the Nerubian Duke, the entire dragon is completely out of control, which is equivalent to being destroyed. And judging from the battle strength of the Nerubian Duke, if his death blow hadn't been taken by Carol, it might even directly destroy the strider's heart. The reason why the Hall of Valor is different from other battleships is that the heart of the earth dragon is still alive, allowing the Hall of Valor to display some of the spirituality and strength of the giant beast during its lifetime.
Qianye's heart was a little heavy, but Carol seemed to have completely calmed down. She turned her head to the side and asked curiously, "Why did you come here suddenly? Have you finished dealing with the dark fire?"
"How can things be finished?" Qianye said with some self-mockery: "I came here this time to see you, and to prepare to practice here for a while. See if there is a chance to make a breakthrough."
"Breakthrough? Are you going to attack the general?" Carol looked very surprised.
Qianye thought for a while, and said, "It doesn't have to be a god general. I'm going to practice until your injury heals."
"And then?" Carol blinked.
"Then we went back to Nanqing together. At that time, the training of the newly formed troops was completed and the equipment almost arrived. Then it's time for me to fulfill my promise to you."
Carol's eyes lit up, and said, "Then I have to speed up my recovery."
"It's the best." Qianye smiled.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, Qianye was immersed in cultivation day and night, and he no longer knew the passage of time. The sky over Hokuriku is full of wind and clouds every day.
On this day, the lead cloud was extremely low, and the cloud vortex was so large that it could not see the edge. There is a faint thunder in the center of the vortex, and the purple electric fire is as dense as a pool of purple pools, which may drip at any time.
Just when the Zidian Thunder Pool had accumulated to its limit, a flash of lightning rolled down like a waterfall, falling towards the small town on the ground!
Seeing that the disaster was about to happen, a cyan thunder dragon suddenly rose into the sky in the center of the small town, breaking through the purple thunder waterfall in one fell swoop, and a disaster was resolved. Immediately, a high-spirited and leaping breath soared straight up, rushed into the Leitan, and swam in it, an indescribable sense of joy diffused.
Qianye, who was practicing, felt something in his heart, and slowly opened his eyes. It was like a flash of lightning flashed across the empty quiet room, and the walls and roof suddenly turned into ashes.
Qianye was stunned, and slowly restrained his force, stood up, and looked towards the center of the small town. Carol was holding a lightning whip, and she was walking towards the sky, and appeared in front of Qianye in the blink of an eye.
"Is your injury healed?" Qianye asked.
"Yes, faster than expected. Because I can't wait. What about you? How far are you from God General?"
"It should be... one step away." Qianye let go of his breath a little, and in Carol's perception, the nine origin force vortexes were emitting extremely intense and hot light, like nine little suns.
Qianye's dawn force was too blazing, with Carol's eyesight, she could feel stinging and burning, and couldn't see through what was behind that fiery light.
After letting go of his breath for a while, Qianye sealed off the inside of his body.
"Why don't you try to break through?"
Carol was a little weird. With the high level of Qianye Liming's original power, it is not too difficult to break through the God General's Heaven Pass. At this moment, Qianye's nine origin force vortexes have been cultivated to a near-perfect level, at least with her eyesight, she can't see any obvious deficiencies in any origin force vortex.
As someone who has experienced it, in her experience, this state is a sign of the ultimate cultivation, and it is also the starting point for hitting the gods.
Looking at the nine vortexes of force like the sun, she even felt a little jealous. If this is compared to the foundation, then Carol is already higher than most of the so-called geniuses in the world, and she has crossed the barrier of the gods with a single leap. But Qianye's starting point is a bit higher than her at this moment, perhaps with just a light jump, he can reach the realm that countless strong men dream of.
Regarding this question, Qianye thought for a while and said, "It's been too long this time, it's time to go back. As for the breakthrough, there is no rush anyway."
"No rush anyway?" Carol suddenly had the urge to strangle Qianye to death.
After a while, the two boarded the Hall of Valor, and the huge dragonship slowly lifted off, sailing from outer space to Nanqing City. For the next period of time, Qianye will make the Hall of Valor stand in outer space to stand by, and when he needs to practice, he will go to the Hall of Valor.
The airship take-off and landing area exclusive to Darkfire was full of transport ships. Under the command of the officer, a team of mercenaries moved heavy boxes from the transport ships and sent them to the warehouse.
The boxes that were brought down were all freshly painted, obviously repainted, and there were no marks on them. It's just that a knowledgeable person can recognize at a glance that these cargo boxes are all standard styles of imperial military ammunition and equipment.
More than ten transport ships have been parked at the takeoff and landing site, and the warehouses next to the takeoff and landing site are already full, and more containers can only be transported to further warehouses by heavy-duty trucks.
Qianye came from the sky and landed directly on the take-off and landing field. A mercenary general was explaining something to a group of officers, when he saw Qianye appearing, he hurried over and said, "My lord, you are back!"
"What's the matter with these goods?"
The mercenary general said: "It's all the armaments that Lord Zining sent from the empire, and they just arrived this morning. Here is the list, please have a look."
Qianye took the bill of lading and looked at it roughly. Seeing that the amount was the same as the agreement, he nodded. Naturally, there will be special personnel to inspect and check the goods, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
At this time, another mercenary general walked over quickly, handed over a document, and said, "My lord, this is the information we just received, you may be interested."
Qianye took the document, tore open the seal, opened it and took a quick glance, then was taken aback, and said, "There's civil turmoil in Zheng?"
"Zheng Guo?" Carol seemed to have heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a while.
The mercenary general who sent the information immediately explained.
Zheng Guo is a small country, located in Yonglu. The country is dominated by human races, and there are also many dark races living in it. The Lord of the Kingdom of Zheng called himself King Zheng, but did not proclaim himself emperor, and expressed his intention to submit to the empire. He was one of the nominal vassal states of the empire.
The situation in Yonglu is complicated, and there are many small countries. There are human races and dark races among them. Yongye and the empire have supported many agents in it, and Zheng Guo is just one of them. Regardless of the Yongye Council or the Empire, they all dislike Yonglu, but they are unwilling to give up their interests here and let the other party dominate. Therefore, supporting the local puppet regime to fight on their behalf has become a common choice.
Therefore, the situation in Yonglu is chaotic, even worse than that of a neutral land. It is very lively between various countries and cities, big and small. Many of these small forces, which claim to be a country, are actually just two or three cities, and they are all small in scale.
The cause of the civil strife in Zheng State this time was that King Zheng suddenly became ill and seemed to be dying soon. In order to fight for the big position, several princes win over the ministers of the army, and the situation has reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out. And Zheng Guo lost the only god general, King Zheng, and the forces of the surrounding dark races were also ignorant, and for a while, it could be described as precarious.
Qianye is familiar with Zheng Guo mainly because of Nanhua.
When Carol heard that Zheng Guo was located in Yonglu, she understood a little bit, and looked up at Qianye. Qianye made a decision in the blink of an eye, and said in a deep voice: "The country of Zheng cannot fall into the hands of the dark race! Send an order, gather the army, and send troops to quell the chaos!"
