The news of King Dingxuan's failure was like a thunderbolt, shocking the entire empire.
When it comes to the face of the Heavenly King, only a few people know the details, but many people try their best to find out, and then there are countless new versions in the blink of an eye. Naturally, most of the contents cannot reach King Dingxuan's ears.
Some said that King Xuan was old and frail, some said that he was careless, some said that he was ambushed by the dark race, and some even said that he was motivated by sex. There are so many, and so on.
But since that day, the name of Yetong has spread throughout the empire overnight.
People from the lower class discuss all kinds of gossip and even nonsense legends, but in the eyes of the people from the upper class, they pay attention to different points. Generally, the strong talk about the startling dream of one of the three holy artifacts, and the power of the storm.
The long knife scares the dream, which claims to be able to split the void, possesses incredible sharpness, and is one of the three holy weapons of the Eternal Night Council, and its status is not inferior to the world's famous spears.
It is said that this knife is made from the long thorns of the splitting swordfish in the depths of the void, and it is also made from the thorns of the king of fish. The split empty sailfish has not been seen for hundreds of years, and it has long been a legend. Every time they appear, they are in groups, and each sailfish has the strength of a marquis. After all, they are also a kind of Void Behemoth.
How the great master killed the fish king among hundreds of thousands of split-empty swordfish, the relevant deeds have long been lost. But Jingmeng has been passed down from generation to generation in the arsenal of the Eternal Night Council, and unexpectedly, it will shine brightly in Yetong's hands.
The gods and generals have already occupied their own side, and they have long looked down on treasures and rare treasures. Even if it is a dream, they don't talk too much. They were more concerned about why the storm was in Yetong's hands.
There is no reason to borrow such a heavy weapon for the town so easily. Did the werewolves compromise, or did the other three tribes find the werewolves indispensable and re-invite them to join in the development of the new world? Or is there some unknown reason behind it.
In their view, the storm is a sign, an important sign that may mean a change in the entire Eternal Night pattern. Now the eyes of the two camps are all focused on the new world, and the mainland maintains an eerie calm, but no one dares to relax. It's a bit like when the jihad in the Eternal Night camp just stopped, everyone's nerves became more tense.
On the next level, the Heavenly King and the high-ranking generals were paying attention to Yetong himself.
This matter is too big, and it wasted a hard-won opportunity for the empire to kill an important person. Naturally, King Dingxuan would not hide it, and told all the details in the form of a report, which was handed over to Emperor Hao, and then passed on to Emperor Hao. All heavenly kings and high-ranking generals.
King Dingxuan gave a detailed description of Yetong's domain, and believed that it was because her domain gathered the power of the entire Eternal Night Army for her own use that she gained the power to compete with the king of heaven in a short period of time.
This field has never been seen before, but it has incredible potential. It's hard to imagine, if Yetong's domain can gather more power of the dark race, if she also ascends to the Maharaja in the future and leads an army of millions to rush towards the empire, who can stop it
However, there will be limitations to the secret method against the sky. There are two possible limitations in this field itself. One is whether the number of people who can gather power will also increase with the increase of Yetong's level; the second is that it can last how long. It's a pity that the battle was too short to reach a conclusion.
The Heavenly King and the high-ranking gods searched all over the classics, but they couldn't find any records about this field. It also shows that, at least in the battle against the Empire, this field has never been seen before.
According to what King Dingxuan said, when the domain was cast, the dark golden birds of blood flew around. The empire tentatively named this domain the Scared Bird.
Overnight, Yetong became a serious threat to the empire.
Then there was dross, thinking that Li Fengshui did the right thing back then, and should have eliminated this scourge long ago, but Li Fengshui's vision is limited, and he always wanted to extract more value from her, but he didn't expect that it would fall into Qianye's hands .
Speaking of Yetong, Qianye would naturally come to mind.
After exchanging information about Qianye, many people were shocked to find that Qianye had already become a major force in Yong Continent, and it seemed to be a powerful faction with tens of millions of werewolves and millions of people, and the number of troops approached one million. , and there are close to 100,000 human fighters and mercenaries.
In terms of powerhouses, apart from Qianye himself, there are two other powerhouses, Carol and Duke Galewind, to help. This is the combat strength of the three dukes, and Qianye is no ordinary general.
Carol can't be underestimated either. Behind her is the Temple of Frost Thunder, and the owner of the temple is her younger brother, who is an out-and-out high-ranking general, the Grand Duke. If Carol is angered, is there any reason for the Palace Master not to show up
After all, the Duke of Hurricane seems to be easier to deal with. But this kind of veteran duke who is old and mature, all of them are slippery, how can there be a master who is easy to deal with
The empire's affiliates in Yonglu, such as Zheng Guo and others, are no match for Qianye even if they are added together. And Zheng Guo is about to become Qianye's vassal state. At least the current ruler, Nan Huairuo, was single-handedly supported by Qianye.
For such a Qianye, let alone encirclement and suppression, it is already thankful that he did not destroy the vassals of the empire in turn.
And how can Qianye say that he can be suppressed
Not to mention the Zhao clan, there are at least four high-ranking families in the empire, headed by the Yin family and the Kong family, and a dozen middle-ranking and low-ranking families are deeply involved with Qianye.
Each family has private troops fighting under Qianye, and the gold coins and supplies that flow back from each family from Yonglu every day are enough to make the most knowledgeable elders excited, not to mention the territory that each family has now assigned to Yonglu. Together they already exceed one province.
How long is this? Not to mention the huge benefits of opening up a new world.
In addition, there are also rumors that Qianye has a close relationship with the Li family and the Zhiji Palace.
Only then did many people realize that Qianye had become a giant without knowing it. Looking back on the day when he managed to escape from the Unfallable City, it seemed like it was still yesterday.
At that time, Qianye was just a small person, and he was not in the eyes of the upper echelon. To have an outdated marshal to intercept him was already a big fuss, and he would mobilize the crowd. Now, those so-called big men in the past can only look up to Qianye.
Things change, nothing more than this.
Many people in the empire have rich associations, and some people suggested that Qianye's attitude is very biased towards the empire at the moment. If he killed Yetong, wouldn't he be forced to Yongye's side? Wouldn't the empire have one more powerful enemy at that time? And even if he wanted to kill him, even King Dingxuan couldn't do anything to Yetong, how could other people kill him
Qianye and Yetong were originally in the empire, Qianye served in the army, and Yetong lived in seclusion. It was a beautiful day. In time, Qianye would become a pillar of the sky in the empire, and Yetong might remain anonymous for the rest of his life and live by Qianye's side with peace of mind.
It's just that this possibility, everyone can only think about it in their hearts, and no one can announce it. After all, the righteous way of the empire is that people who are not of my race must have different hearts.
In particular, the shadow cast by the blood race on the race is too strong, almost a hostility engraved in the memory of the blood. As long as Qianye is really a blood clan, and as long as the blood law of the blood clan still exists, Qianye cannot be trusted. Maybe one day, triggered by the long river of blood, he will become the confidant of the empire just like Yetong today.
For this matter, Emperor Hao summoned the kings and ministers in the imperial capital overnight for a secret meeting. After discussing with the kings, the ministers quarreled endlessly on how to treat Yetong.
One faction thinks that he should be killed, while the other thinks that this move will push Qianye to Eternal Night, and the gain outweighs the loss. Besides, even if you want to kill, how can you kill? Yetong holds the startling dream and the storm in his hands, who in the empire, and what weapon can he use to kill her
The quarrels continued, and finally I could only ask Emperor Hao to show me.
Emperor Hao had been sitting still, at this moment Fang looked at Zhao Xuanji and said, "Mr. You has not spoken, what is your opinion?"
You Guogong said: "Every decision made by the empire, I, the Zhao Clan, will definitely implement it with all my strength."
Emperor Hao nodded, and said gently: "We all know the relationship between Qianye and the Zhao Clan. I am very pleased that Duke You can put the overall situation first. As for Yetong..."
He was silent for a long time, staring at the wall behind the ministers, and then uttered a word: "Zhu!"
New World, advance to the base, Song Zining stood in front of the big map, not moving for a long time. His hair looked a little disheveled, his clothes were no longer as clean as new, and his eyes were bloodshot and sunken deeply.
A staff officer walked in and said: "My lord, the latest battle report, Lord Yunyang was defeated, General Duan Yong died in battle, and the defeated army is now on the way back..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Zining said, "Put it on the table."
The staff officer carefully placed the battle report on the stack of documents on the left hand side of the desk, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at the stack of documents on the right hand side.
The left hand is the battle report, and the right hand is the report of various military supplies. Both stacks of papers were stacked high, but inside were all bad news and very little good news.
The staff officer held his breath and retreated lightly. Outside the office, every soldier was running in a hurry with worries on their faces. Even some of the officers who were supposed to be in the rear were more or less tainted.
The entire headquarters is dark, depressing, and cold.
The staff recalled that not so long ago, this was not the case in the headquarters. At that time, although every day was very busy, we had to deal with a large number of death lists every day, and the hospital was often full of wounded, but everyone was strong and had a smile on their faces. Even if they grinned in pain, they still laughed loudly.
Because at that time, even though the casualties were heavy, they were still winning battles, and the casualties of the dark race were far higher than that of the empire. This kind of war can make people see hope and know that as long as they persist, it must be the dark race that cannot persist.
No amount of sacrifice can be endured as long as there is hope.
But now, the number of casualties has increased sharply, and the news of defeat has come one after another. Those generals and marshals who were invincible in the past have all fallen into the sand. .
Song Zining's halo is fading, he is no longer the military god who anticipates the enemy's opportunity and is invincible. He will also miscalculate, and it will be difficult to judge the movement of the dark race, and the multi-way mobile troops deployed outside will suffer heavy losses.
In contrast, Wei Potian was the luckiest one when he was stripped of his armor and brought back.
