In the history of the empire, it happened from time to time that the leading generals supported their troops and threatened the court with war, but none of them ever ended well.
Even if the emperor compromised at that time, he must try his best to pursue it afterwards, so as to prevent the latecomers from following suit. Now Song Zining has committed a big taboo by threatening with mutiny for Qianye's sake.
Qianye didn't feel that the benefits gained from trading with the empire were important at all. Even if he was as rich as a country, he didn't have as much weight in his heart as people like Zining and Cointreau.
If he had known that there would be such consequences, he would have endured this tone and continued to trade with the empire. Anyway, before there was a new world, there was no such thing as holy tree sap, so just pretend it never existed.
Eunuch Liu saw what was on Qianye's mind, and unexpectedly expressed relief.
He said that Dao Zining's actions may not necessarily be a bad thing. The war situation in the new world is worrisome, and everyone can see this. Without enough reinforcements, even if Song Zining had earth-shattering talent and wisdom, he could not avoid the final defeat.
The front line is not only Song Zining and Zhao Jundu, but also several princes, as well as powerful men like Wei Potian, who are only one step away from the gods.
These people are not fools, everyone knows that cutting off backup is a dead end. Under such circumstances, there are still people who cut off the supply of the most important sacred tree sap for some reason or other. If anyone knows the ins and outs, the imperial capital can't come up with a justifiable explanation, and I'm afraid they will mutiny.
So what Song Zining said about the danger of mutiny on the front line was probably true. Of course, whether he has secretly contributed to the flames is another matter.
Besides, at least right now, Song Zining's record is brilliant enough, no matter how stupid Emperor Hao is, he will never do anything to him, not to mention that Emperor Hao is also a generation of great talent and strategy.
After listening to Eunuch Liu's words, Qianye felt relieved. And how much sacred tree sap is traded with the empire is also very knowledgeable. It is impossible to give too much, and it is also impossible to give too little.
Qianye humbly asked for advice, and Eunuch Liu did not hesitate to give advice. The final trade volume reached was roughly two-thirds of the empire's full pharmaceutical production capacity. In this way, there is room for maneuver in negotiations and the war will not be delayed.
Only the most elite troops can enter the Black Sun Valley. Many elite troops of the empire have to train in Qinlu for another week before they can barely pass. No matter how much medicine is produced, there are not so many soldiers. And Qianye himself had to keep some spare goods on hand, just in case someone made another mess.
In the face of absolute interests, reason and reason will be left behind, and only the voice of strength can be heard.
Once the deal is reached, Eunuch Liu will be considered to have completed a major event. He didn't leave immediately, but walked around the city of blue waves for a day, watching the transactions in various places, especially the transactions of various races, and didn't comment. Before leaving, he only informed Qianye and then quietly and go.
Eunuch Liu’s itinerary was not hidden from Qianye, but he didn’t seem to be very interested in the peaks of the mountains. He didn’t even go to the training camp that had been partially built. Instead, he stayed in the trading market all day long, watching the different races people bargaining. He even bought a lot of things, so much so that Qianye doubted whether his space equipment could hold it.
Eunuch Liu naturally wouldn't just walk around casually, there must be a purpose, but since he didn't say anything, Qianye couldn't guess it either.
As soon as Eunuch Liu left, Qianye arranged for a frigate and ordered people from the Yin and Kong families to accompany the ship to escort several boxes of holy tree sap to the empire for trading.
The escort is very important, so Qianye coaxed and persuaded Miss Yin Qiqi to be sent to the frigate. Since then, the ears can be quieter.
Knowing that Song Zining has won successively in the central region, and now that the sacred tree sap on his side can keep up, the situation of the empire will not be that bad. Qianye let go of his worries, and then sent William to the Burning Fire Territory to expand the territory, and he entered the new world again. The development of the new world is not only his own business, but also related to the fate of Zining Jundu, the empire and even the human race.
The existence of the Black Sun Valley, for some reason, gave Qianye a strange feeling of familiarity and fear.
Unknowingly, the battle between the Empire and Yongye in the Black Sun Valley has been going on for more than a month.
This time Song Zining changed his previous strategy and set up multiple fortresses step by step. Within ten months, several fierce fortress offensive and defensive battles were carried out. At the same time, Song Zining also dispatched multiple troops to wander in the Black Sun Valley, choosing an opportunity to attack the supply line behind Yong Ye.
As a result, the classic sports battles and annihilation battles that were hearty enough to be recorded in the history of the war were lost. The war became muddy and heavy, and the number of casualties rose sharply. And there are not a few fighters who are missing and have not been reported.
This style of play has attracted a lot of criticism.
The casualties in this month are almost catching up with the sum of the previous new world development, and the magical halo that shrouded Song Zining seems to have disappeared. There is another scum in the ruling and opposition parties, saying that the fortress is offensive and defensive, and my old man will do the same.
A few knowledgeable people can see that every time the fortress is attacked and defended, the dark race has an advantage, but the advantage is not big enough to decide the battle situation. The superiority lures the dark race to be unable to give up storming the fortress, and once they attack, they find it too hard to swallow. Even if the fortress was eventually won, the empire would voluntarily give it up, and few were forcibly breached.
Once or twice can be said to be accidental, but every time it happens, it reflects Song Zining's military strategy and celestial skills beyond imagination. This is a bloodletting tactic, each fortress is like a knife with a blood slot, which continuously consumes the elite and backbone of the dark race.
However, the casualties of the soldiers of the empire are also shocking. Every morning at the military headquarters, the heaviest moment is to read the casualty figures of the previous day. Whether it is a seasoned veteran or a young star, they are all overwhelmed by the heavy numbers.
In just one month, the empire lost more than 100,000 soldiers, all of whom were elite, without cannon fodder. It is equivalent to the reimbursement of the core main force of two or three legions, how can it make people not feel sad
Although the loss of the dark race was nearly three times that of the empire, many people still had doubts about Song Zining's strategy. It is too cruel and painful for the war to be fought like this. Every new day, there will be countless fresh lives destined to become corpses, and what they get in exchange is only more corpses of the enemy.
Of course, the Eternal Night Council is not having a good time, but their troops are still being sent into the New World in a steady stream, and the empire can only grit its teeth to resist.
With each passing day, the doubts about Song Zining grew louder. Fortunately, everyone has self-knowledge. Everyone knows that they can't sit in Song Zining's seat, so they just question it. Song Zining, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to all kinds of voices from behind, and devoted himself to spending time with the dark race.
"One day, the dark race will be unable to bear it first, because they are three races, and we only have the human race." Every day, Song Zining repeated this sentence, and then put on a cold metal mask and went to the battlefield.
In the dark, heavy, bloody battlefield, there are occasional bright colors. Song Zining sent out multiple groups of troops to harass the enemy's rear. Some of them missed, but there were also a few groups that achieved particularly impressive results.
Among them, Wei Potian is the most eye-catching.
The most classic battle of this self-proclaimed Marquis Potian was actually accidentally bringing the troops to a desperate situation. However, when defending the lonely peak, the Wei family troops showed incredible resilience, fighting against an enemy nearly ten times their own Fighting all day and night. Wei Potian even withstood the siege of the other five Marquis with his own strength.
Although he was beaten to the point where he was basically powerless to fight back, he was in a state of hard defense throughout the battle, and he looked extremely dangerous, as if he would be defeated in the next moment.
However, the sword peak pointing directly to the sky above the battlefield has always stood firm, which gave the Wei family soldiers endless courage to fight desperately with their opponents and repel the attacks of the dark race time and time again.
In the end, the five marquises who besieged Wei Potian were the first to lose their strength. No matter how they attack, at least eight points of ten points of power fell on Wei Potian's body, and it became painless.
And the Zanpakutao in Wei Potian's hand is also a murder weapon that makes the dark race fearful. It basically takes less than a week to be cut by it. The wound cannot heal, and in the environment of the new world, it is even more unbearable. A bad non-fatal injury is inexplicably fatal.
Whenever the critical moment comes, Wei Potian is always ready to play back. Those Marquis are all longevity species, and they have an absolute advantage. Who is willing to accompany this lunatic to die
At the end of the bloody battle, many human troops suddenly appeared around, and Song Zining even came personally. He commanded the troops to set up another encirclement circle from outside, and defeated the Yongye troops surrounding Wei Potian in one fell swoop, killing tens of thousands of enemies.
After this battle, Wei Potian became famous, and the phantom of the sword peak was recognized as the realm that the Wei family's Thousand Mountains could reach after the level of the god general: the peaks and mountains are unique.
Before Wei Potian broke through the gate of the god general, he realized the realm after the god general, and he received countless praises for a while, and some people even praised him as the third genius in the empire, second only to Zhao Song.
He is a genius, young, and has a prominent family background, so countless people have made the idea of marriage.
Some supernatural beings even ran directly to the front line and found Wei Potian's head, but this guy was at a loss at the time: "Propose a marriage? What kind of marriage? I have been taken advantage of by Yuying, how can I find someone else?"
As soon as this remark came out, there was another uproar, and Zhao Yuying became famous because of it.
It stands to reason that Duke Yan should be furious, but he just said casually: "Young man, it is inevitable that there will be impulsive moments."
Such a statement is almost like saying that the uncooked rice has been cooked, so be it.
The marriage between the Zhao Clan and the Marquis of Wei in the Far East was thus settled. The Zhao Clan has added another strong support in the Far East, and the Wei family can also benefit a lot from the Zhao Clan. With the financial and material support of the Zhao Clan, their development in the Far East became smoother. As for the disappointment of many aristocratic families, it is another matter.
In addition to Wei Potian, many young generals of the empire also emerged during this battle, and they all fell into the eyes of the major families, and they went to propose marriages as soon as the war was over.
Of course, during the war, no one would do this, firstly, in order not to disturb the morale of the army, and secondly, of course, to see who can survive until the end of the war.
With the accumulation of corpses on the battlefield, the balance of victory seems to be slowly tilting towards the empire, but in Song Zining's eyes, this is far from enough.
