The war on the West Continent has entered the most critical juncture, while the castle on the Twilight Continent is experiencing a rare moment of peace. Although he still doesn't know the overall scale of the attack, Qianye still has a rough judgment on the situation from the bits and pieces of information he got during the day and night.
The deployment of the demons was obviously also based on the idea of a quick solution, commanding the parliamentary troops to launch attacks on the targets on the Twilight Continent almost at the same time. The targets are mostly the castles of families above the marquis, the key castles of the twelve ancient clans, and the castles of clans with big figures like the dark gospel Howard.
The required troops are not a small number. Even if there are some traitors to respond internally, enough strong men are still needed to suppress the scene. Thinking about it, the demons would not be willing to turn a raid into a tug-of-war in the blood clan's base camp.
But in this way, Qianye and the others will immediately face great pressure. Before, from the Caton clan territory to the Mowei clan territory, they didn't hit the dark lord and the parliamentary backup force, because of the time difference.
With the passage of time, the news that Qianye and Yetong appeared in Twilight and disrupted many parliamentary actions must have been sent back. Qianye still has the Black Book that the council is looking for. Invite a siege.
Both Qianye and Yetong are sure of escape, but if they want to bring blood clansmen with them, it is absolutely impossible.
On the side, Howard found a twilight map in Aivar's study, hung it on the wall, and together with Nighteye, marked all the attacked territories he saw along the way.
After making the mark, Howard's face suddenly became a little ugly. From the time when Nighteye met the parliamentary forces until now, he ran almost half of the Twilight Continent, and almost half of the blood castles along the way were attacked, most of them were destroyed. destroyed, and the survivors do not know how many surrendered like Aivar.
What they have seen is so, and there is not much difference in places they have not been to. And the worst thing is the composition of the parliamentary coalition forces. Judging from the positions occupied by the nerubians and werewolves, their upper echelons must have reached an agreement with the demons. The werewolf is easy to understand. The Spider Queen has always only focused on the descendants of her own race, so how could she get involved so deeply
Seeing that the situation had collapsed to this point, Howard could only let out a long sigh, and said, "I didn't expect that the demons would attack so quickly and so ruthlessly! Many old guys who are still sleeping may never wake up again."
Twilight was originally the headquarters of the blood clan, and the core families of most clans were here. Some strong people who have reached the edge of life will choose to sleep in the territory of twilight.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are more or less sleeping strong men in every castle. In normal times, the active left-behind strongmen in the family castle are basically people at the level of marquis, and there will be dukes in the clan castle. These forces can no longer be regarded as weak, but they are also completely unable to withstand the targeted parliamentary elite assault.
These sleeping powerhouses are the real loss of the blood race. If they can fully wake up, they will be a very powerful force. However, the Demon Emperor took advantage of the new world war to mobilize the parliamentary troops on a large scale, and with Mei Danzuo as his internal support, he deceived everyone. I'm afraid the demons won't give these blood sleepers a chance to wake up.
Even if it was the Gospel of Darkness, if Qianye and Yetong hadn't arrived in time to attack Lord Masefield severely, he would have fallen. Although he saved his life now, the incomplete awakening also seriously injured Howard, and he was in danger of falling down.
Qianye also walked over to look at the map, and suddenly frowned and said, "I'm afraid most of the secret realms of the blood race have been exposed, right?"
"Very likely." Howard said with worry on his face. At least the locations of most of the public secret realms were known to Medan Zuo. Although the private secret realms of clans and families did not need to be reported, if there were high-level traitors, it would be difficult to keep them. In other words, these secret realms are no longer safe.
"Get out of Twilight." Qianye said suddenly.
"What?" Howard and Nighteye were both shocked and puzzled.
For the blood race, Twilight is not only a place of residence, but also a totem and belief. Every clan is proud of owning a territory and building an ancient castle in Twilight. Now Qianye suddenly said that he wanted to withdraw from Twilight
Qianye said: "I am afraid that all the secret realms on Twilight are no longer secrets, even those mastered by princes and maharajas. In addition, there are not many blood clans that we can save. Nearly half of the enemies and friends are unknown. We should There are many who have surrendered like Van Trier. But even if there are not many, the survivors in these castles have tens of thousands of direct blood descendants of various clans and families. No matter where we put them, they are all Big goals."
Howard nodded thoughtfully.
"The Twilight Continent is located in the core of the middle layer and is the hub connecting the continents, but because of this, it is not suitable for defense. The demons have extremely strong mobility and assault capabilities, and they may mobilize an army at any time, even if they no longer With the power of the parliament, we can't stop it on Twilight."
Even Yetong nodded this time. Qianye has been fighting with the demons for so many years, so he knows the characteristics and tactics of the demons well.
If this war was launched in a dignified manner, on the Twilight Continent, the blood race would have the confidence to fight even if they faced the coalition forces of the parliament. But now that Twilight has Mei Danzuo around, it is impossible for them to use all kinds of backhands.
"The weakness of the demons is also obvious, that is, their population is insufficient, so they pursue a policy of elite soldiers. The equipment, security and training equipped by each warrior, each warship, and each strong man are one level higher than other races The result of this is that while gaining super combat power, the expenditure and time to build a troop is far more than other races. The loss of the same number of people is more unbearable for the demons, and it is more difficult to replenish the lost troops. All in all , Demons are not durable, nor are they good at attrition."
Back in the Black Sun Valley, most of Song Zining's exchange tactics were aimed at the demons. At that time, if there were no werewolves, half of the high-quality cannon fodder would be lost. The entire Yongye camp was in agony due to the terribly exhausted Duzi fight. Qianye mentioned this point again at this moment, so he has identified the weakness of the demons.
"But I'm afraid we can't afford it now." Howard said. Now the blood clan in Qianye and Yetong's hands is only the size of an ancient clan, and it has to be the bottom clan like Caton, and some of them have no warrior experience.
"Large-scale consumption is of course not enough, so we need to find a place to shelter, use the terrain, and kill the demons with a small amount of troops. We will fight an offensive and defensive battle with the demons there."
"There are places like this, but what about the air?"
"I have the Hall of Valor, which can block the airspace."
Howard stretched his eyebrows, and said: "It will be easy to make their floating ships unable to pass. There is such a suitable place on Xiri Continent."
"Xi Ri? Isn't that the upper continent?" Ye Tong frowned.
"That's right. I went to the upper continent to explore a few years ago, and accidentally discovered a void route, which connected to an area similar to a semi-secret realm. Although the environment is harsh, but the surrounding mountains block the scorching wind, I can still survive. Originally I plan to hand over that area when I'm near the end of my life to exchange some resources for the descendants, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now."
"Is the void route stable?" Qianye asked.
"Stability means that it is complicated and tortuous, and cannot pass at high speed, but it is just right for our current situation."
Qianye pondered for a while, then said: "In this case, then we can build a refuge on Xiri, which is suitable for the direct descendants of various clans to live in. The remaining ordinary clansmen, as well as some subordinate races, can go to Yonglu. My territory in Yonglu now treats all ethnic groups equally. They can also find jobs there. If possible, I think I should talk to William to confirm the attitude of the werewolves. At least I can know the attitude of the peak. I I’ve always wondered why the demons were able to launch this parliamentary joint action. If the blood race is destroyed, why do the nerubians and werewolves think they won’t be the next targets? I think, at least the peaks have to think about it.”
"That's it, let's save people first, and then arrange transportation." Howard said.
"What about the Paz clan?" Qianye asked. This question made both Yetong and Howard frown and have a headache.
Nighteye nodded to Howard, asking him to explain. Howard said: "Pass is the blood of Her Majesty the Queen, which is very special. Usually when Her Majesty is sleeping, the internal affairs of the clan are managed by the active Maharaja or the crowned prince. I have also managed it for decades."
Qianye was very surprised: "This system is very interesting. Isn't Paz afraid of outsiders meddling in internal affairs?"
Howard said: "It is said to be escrow, but it is actually protection. I will not talk too much about the real internal affairs of the Pass clan. On the contrary, I will provide some resources when they need it. After all, Her Majesty is still there, who dares Are you really thinking about her blood descendants?"
It was only then that Qianye realized that it was not a good job to take charge of the Paz clan. Don't talk about spending money and effort, but still can't manage things.
"Medanzuo should be in charge now. After all, Renault hasn't woken up for long, and he wasn't in the normal activity period. What we don't know now is to what extent Medanzuo has intervened, and we don't know whether the Pass clan will There will be betrayal."
Qianye nodded, "I understand, so Twilight can't stay any longer."
"Okay, let's split up and act separately. Although I am useless as an old guy, self-protection is still no problem. After I save the other families, I will wait for you at the agreed place."
"Alright." Qianye nodded.
After all, the Dark Gospel is the crowned prince. Even if the imprint is dim now, it is not something that the Grand Duke can defeat. If he acts alone, as long as he doesn't encounter a maharaja like the Lord of Masefield again, he will not be in too much danger.
Qianye and Yetong acted together, and the two and Howard divided their respective areas, then left the castle and continued to search and rescue the blood race. At the same time, it was also agreed that the search and rescue would only be carried out for three days, and when the time came, they would go to the predetermined secret place to meet up, start transferring the blood clansmen, and withdraw from the Twilight Continent.
After Qianye left, Van Trier basically completed the work of reorganizing the captives and looting the castle. Perhaps out of compensating for his own loss, he almost scratched the ground, and he didn't even let go of some funerary objects prepared for him by Aivar before his death. Some murals and sculptures were cut and packed away.
When he also left, the castle was like locusts crossing the border, with no grass growing.
After Van Trier left, in the depths of the castle, in the already messy spare blood pool room, the lid of a sleeping coffin randomly stacked in the corner was pushed away, and a blood viscount climbed out of it.
This sleeping coffin is only a semi-finished product, and the original force array has not yet been engraved. It is not a copper coffin, but an iron coffin. Therefore, it has not been seen by Van Trier, and the Viscount has been able to hide because of this.
After confirming that there was no one in the castle, he left in a hurry.
