Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 1252: There was smoke everywhere

Views:

Overland, a disaster is spreading.

The locals couldn't even tell the source and beginning of the disaster. They only remembered countless strange beasts rushing out of the forest and deep mountains, and no grass grew anywhere they passed. They have extraordinary fighting power, and ordinary beasts are no match for them at all. Needless to say, even a small-scale human hunter can't withstand all-round blows from the air, the ground and the back.

At this moment, the Nangong family was in chaos. In the study room of the main house, a refined man who looked to be in his early thirties looked at the table full of urgent documents, his brows were already frowned. The latest documents that were brought in have not yet been opened for review.

He sighed, and as soon as he picked up an urgent report, there were hurried footsteps outside the study, and his attendants forgot to even knock on the door, rushed straight in, and shouted: "Patriarch, something is wrong! Luoyin City fell !"

"Luoyin City!" The man only felt a buzzing in his head, and the moment went blank.

He managed to regain his composure, and said, "How did it fall? The defenders, what have you been doing?"

"The alien beasts came too fast, and there were too many of them! The defenders couldn't stop them! Seeing the city was broken, City Lord Xu Ze said that he would die with the city, so he sent his henchmen to break through and send out this information."

The man opened the file and saw several patterns of strange beasts hastily drawn on it, with a brief description below. The handwriting is extremely scribbled, and it is obvious that it was written without any time. Half of the materials have been soaked in blood, and it seems that the process of sending them out is not easy.

"Where's the messenger?"

"Dead at the gate."

The man nodded and said slowly: "Hanyin City has nearly ten thousand defenders and two power towers. It is the most heavily defended town in my Nangong family. It was defeated in one battle! I didn't expect that when I just took over as the head of the family, I met It’s something like this. This matter is beyond my ability to deal with, let’s convene a meeting of elders.”

He took the order personally, and just as he was about to leave, the man said again: "Is there any news from the imperial capital?"

"No."

"How many days has our messenger been sent out?" the man asked with a frown.

"Counting today, it is already the fifth day."

"Strange...go call the elders for a meeting."

After a while, all the elders in the master's house gathered in the meeting hall, and the man sat at the head and said: "Thanks to the trust of the elders, I, Nangong Duanfang, was elected as the head of the house. I have little knowledge, and it is still difficult to make a decision when I encounter such an important matter suddenly. At this moment, the life and death of our Nangong family is at stake, and all elders are invited to make a decision together."

After all, he distributed a series of emergency documents and materials.

Some of the elders were still on airs, took a sip of tea first, and then opened the file. After just one glance, they spewed out their mouthfuls of tea with a puff.

"Han Yin lost?"

"Is Yong Ye coming to attack?"

"Look at this, what kind of monsters are these? The old man has lived for more than eighty years, but he has never seen one before."

"How could so many places be lost? Isn't this, this, the family business already lost a small half?"

All the elders were talking about it, and when it was quieter, an elder elder said: "Duanfang, you are the head of the family now, and there should be a decision on such a major matter. Let's hear your opinion first?"

Nangong Duanfang sighed, and said, "I thought this was the biggest crisis my Nangong family has faced since the battle of the Heavenly Ghost and Iron Curtain."

All the elders nodded. The Nangong family lost most of their reputation and some elite fighters in the Tiangui Iron Curtain battle, but this time, they were about to be rooted out. What was impacted by the beast tide was the land that had existed for hundreds of years with the name of the Nangong family, and Xu Ze, who fell with Hanyin City, was also one of the real strongmen of the Nangong family.

After seeing the reactions of the elders, Nangong Duanfang said: "My idea is to withdraw the whole family from the territory and retreat to the central part of the mainland, where we will join forces with the Hou family, Liao family, and the eldest grandson family to hold a small area and wait for the empire to come back. reinforcements."

Before he could finish speaking, the elders began to cook.

"Evacuate? Isn't this handing over the ancestral foundation?"

"Since Nangong set foot on Yuelu, I have never experienced such humiliation!"

"That's right! Without the foundation, what kind of high-grade family is called!"

Nangong Duanfang and other elders poured out their anger, and Fang said: "The land will not run away with long feet. If we withdraw now, what we will lose is only this year's harvest. At most, we can add some buildings. It can be solved. Based on my Nangong family's accumulation of hundreds of years, it is not difficult to rebuild."

"What about that person, what should we do with so many people?"

Nangong Duanfang said: "It's easier for people. They don't have the surname Nangong, and they don't hurt their muscles even if they die. When we come back, we will buy more slaves, especially young women, and then encourage the clansmen to have more children. With time, the leader will make up for it."

He paused, and said: "However, if we stay here and refuse to leave, then within three days, these strange beasts will come to the city. At that time, no one will be able to leave. Elders, take a closer look at your hands. Go to the information and see what characteristics these monsters have?"

The elders studied the information for a while, and then someone said: "If there is space, there is land, and there are underground excavations. Well, there are speed types, and those with physical strength. This kind of strength is strong, isn't it just for attacking difficulties? Just missing the remote... "

Another person said: "There are so many flying monsters, what remote control is needed?"

An elder was suddenly startled: "Isn't this the army?"

Nangong Duanfang said: "They are the army, at least from the current performance, that is the case."

All the elders were silent, everyone knew the difference between a herd of beasts and an army. Each of these monsters is equivalent to a warrior with the original force. The division of labor between the various arms is clear and the cooperation is tacit. The number is as high as 100,000. It can be said that such a large army swept across the Nangong family's territory without much effort.

That year, the elder said: "It is really a blessing for the Nangong family to have a Duanfang writer master. He is far away from him, alas, let's not mention it. Let's vote now to see if we want to give up the territory."

After a moment, a piece of arm goes up.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference hall was a bit depressed, Nangong Duanfang got up and said in a loud voice: "Why do you need to worry? My Nangong family has accumulated hundreds of years, countless secret treasures, and a full library of secret methods. The children of Nangong are all over the world! As long as the Nangong family returns Now, in our hands, it only takes fifty years, so why not create another high-grade family?!"

The impassioned words immediately made the blood of all the elders boil, and the long-lost passion was rekindled.

"To the extreme, to the extreme! This background is exactly why we are a top-ranking family."

"Back then, Duke Zhao led his entire clan to explore the Western Continent, so why not ruin the boat? If there hadn't been that day, how could the Zhao Clan be at its peak today."

"The Zhao Clan can do it, why can't my Nangong family not? If you don't even have the courage to do so, what's the point of raising the Clan? Yue Lu can't stay, and at worst we'll go to the West Land, where there is still a large piece of land in the hands of the dark race. "

Seeing that the morale was available, Nangong Duan conveniently issued a series of orders and began to arrange for the evacuation. Among these orders, there is a seemingly inconspicuous order, which is to enlist young and strong people from all over the country to join the army, join the garrison, open the arsenal, distribute equipment, equip them with basic weapons, and then guard their homes.

This order seems to be nothing, but after reading the information on the alien beasts, all the elders know that these mobs are definitely not the opponents of the army of alien beasts. Letting them resist on the spot is nothing more than buying time for the Nangong family's direct lineage and various branches to evacuate.

With this order, it is conceivable that the leaders will suffer heavy casualties, and may even be slaughtered after angering the herd of alien beasts. But all the elders ignored this order intentionally or unintentionally, and dispersed separately, busy with their own evacuation arrangements.

Without the barrier of the Nangong family, the alien beast army on the Yuelu land has no obstacles. Since then, it has grown straight into the core of the mainland, and in the center of the Yuelu family, several families have gathered in one place, surrounding several fortress cities A complete defense system was established, quietly waiting for the arrival of the army of alien beasts. As for how many people were killed or injured, whether it was millions or tens of millions, no one cared.

Compared with Yue Lu, who was in full bloom, the situation in Xilu was much better. The location where the door appeared was exactly between the Zhao Clan, the Dark Race and the Beifu Legion's garrison. This area was originally a stalemate zone between the two sides, and both the empire and the eternal night hoarded heavy troops here.

At the beginning, Lin Xitang's promotion and disappearance were extremely sudden. Not only did the Beifu Army not reorganize, they even had no time to change their station. And the fate of this legion is not an easy decision, one is not good, in front of the emperor and the army, there are no people on both sides, so the matter has been dragged down, temporarily controlled by Chengen Gong Zhao Weihuang, anyway, no one dares to be less their supplies.

When the Alien Beast Legion appeared in Westland, it fully demonstrated the characteristics of indiscriminate attack. I don't know what they judged based on. They immediately divided into two groups and attacked the Empire and Yongye respectively. But after the division of troops, the offensive of each route was greatly reduced. And Yong Ye's side has been able to fight against Zhao Clan and Lin Xitang for many years, and the commanders are also famous figures. Therefore, although the incident happened suddenly, the two camps were calm and unhurried, retreating gradually, blocking the attack layer by layer, constantly killing and wounding the beasts, and weakening the number of opponents.

After several days of fighting, although the empire lost more than 10,000 soldiers, tens of thousands of alien beasts were finally wiped out, and only a few alien beasts fled to the mainland.

It seems that the loss is not big, but the Zhao Clan and the Beifu Legion have lost the most elite fighters, and it is not so easy to make up for it. The only good news is that the strong lose very little.

There are also gates on the floating land, but the floating land that has just been baptized by the flames of war is full of fortresses everywhere, and the garrisons are all elite main force, so in just a few days, all the strange beasts that appeared in the gate were wiped out. It's just because the location where the door appeared was the foggy forest, so the imperial garrison didn't know where the strange beast came from for a while.

When the mainland of the empire frequently encountered catastrophes, Yonglu's heaven-sent land played very easily. Qianye had personally entered the door and knew what was behind the door, so he made sufficient preparations. When the barrier disappeared and the alien beast army appeared, there was an army of nearly 500,000 waiting for them outside the fog zone!

Although this army is insufficiently trained, and many werewolf fighters only know the most basic battlefield orders, they have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. Werewolves are also natural fighters, and it is even more obvious in a battle where wildness has the upper hand. Two or three werewolves can Deal with a strange beast. Qianye also made targeted defensive deployments on the position, and there were enough anti-air forces in the deep area.

After the Alien Beast Legion appeared, they were killed in less than a day.
