Not surprisingly, this plan received strong support from Wei Potian and Zhao Yuying, as well as firm opposition from Song Zining. Three against one, the plan passed smoothly. Moreover, Qianye no longer intends to study the details of the plan with them, and now he knows that as long as these three guys get together, their intelligence will plummet.
Before officially marching westward, Qianye planned to go to the dark country to reconnaissance first, to see if there were any new changes in the military situation he had grasped before. The goal of this trip is Yinliu Gorge Bend, which is the turning point of a big river, and the steep cliffs form a natural barrier.
The cliff with a height of hundreds of meters can overlook the range of dozens of kilometers across the river. As long as the heavy artillery is transported up, an effective defense network can be built. In addition, the dark race has built a stronghold on the top of the mountain, but the guards there are not strong.
Everyone was worried that Qianye would go deep alone, except for Wei Potian who had no possibility of escape, Song Zining and Zhao Yuying both wanted to go with Qianye. However, this idea was firmly rejected by Qianye. Even Zhao Yuying was far inferior to him in terms of field reconnaissance and wilderness combat experience, and it was safer to be alone.
In fact, Qianye has another destination that can't be said. The werewolf tribe mentioned by William is also near the westward route. Qianye intends to drop by to see the situation, and even Song Zining hasn't decided whether to talk about this matter. .
In the next few days, Qianye was busy packing and arranging the affairs of the mercenary group. When he came to the locomotive, he suddenly found many people coming in and out, and a power pipeline was being installed. Inside the garage, mechanical roars sounded from time to time, deafening.
Qianye was a little surprised, and strode into the garage. This is a small garage specially used by several high-level officials in Dark Fire. Inside are some two-wheeled motorcycles and light off-road vehicles. They are usually not open to the public. Only when Qianye, Song Hu and others need transportation tools will they come here to pick up one. car.
But why are there so many people here suddenly
As soon as he entered the garage, Qianye saw a familiar figure, Zhao Yuying. Even though she put on a worker's uniform and stepped on thick boots, her flamboyant beauty is still recognizable at first sight.
At this moment, Zhao Yuying was getting together with an elderly man, making gestures to the drawings. A dozen workers nearby were busy debugging several heavy machine tools, and several workers were struggling to lift the core part of a small stamping machine, moving it to the designated position bit by bit.
Qianye recognized that the man next to Zhao Yuying was the current chief mechanical engineer of Dark Fire, responsible for the maintenance and modification of various chariot machinery. It seemed that he spent more time listening, while Zhao Yuying kept pointing out something.
Then the engineer walked aside with the drawings and called a few assistants to start researching. On the other hand, Zhao Yuying reached out to pick up a spare parts box, and walked to a two-wheeled motorcycle that had been half disassembled.
The eyes of the workers were a little straight for a moment. The spare parts box was about one meter square and weighed at least a ton. Easily picked up with one hand, it is no different from carrying a lunch box.
She squatted down next to the locomotive and began to modify it by herself.
Qianye quietly walked to Zhao Yuying's side and watched intently. She obviously has a very good understanding of the structure of the locomotive, and her movements are skillful. She easily removed the whole engine in a few strokes, and then began to adjust the frame.
This process only showed Zhao Yuying's warrior-level strength. The purple-black force spewed out from her hand, and under the influence of some kind of secret method, it turned into a light blue flame, heating and softening the frame, and then she pulled and pinched it with her bare hands, and in a blink of an eye, this part of the frame was It's a completely different shape.
She followed the same pattern and made several adjustments in a row. Now the frame has completely changed and can accommodate a two-size-larger engine. And the whole process took less than ten minutes.
"I really didn't expect you to modify motorcycles." Qianye said.
With a long screw in her mouth, Zhao Yuying said disdainfully: "Don't think that the children of the elite can only practice or eat, drink and have fun. Anything can happen on the battlefield. Do you have to wait for the engineer to fix the weapon if it breaks? "
"Ordinary engineers can't compare to you." Qianye said from the bottom of his heart. Just because of her ability to turn the original force into flames and transform castings with her bare hands, it is impossible for a warrior not to be able to do it.
"That's right, I don't even look at who I am!" Zhao Yuying never knew what modesty was.
"But is it really useful for you to learn this?" Qianye was a little puzzled. Not to mention how much time it takes to learn to be proficient in machinery, when it comes to the battlefield, the precious force must be kept to kill the enemy. Locomotives, chariots and even heavy artillery are all disposable materials.
Zhao Yuying took out an engine from the parts box and began to install it, saying: "Of course it is useful, but the main use is not on the ground battlefield, but on floating warships and star-rated airships that can shuttle between continents. You Think about it, if the airship breaks down in the void, is there still a place for you to land and repair it?"
Qianye suddenly realized.
Zhao Yuying snorted, and said, "It looks like a bumpkin who has never participated in an air battle!"
It is true that Qianye has never participated in a large-scale air battle. The Red Scorpion is an elite army that targets special raids, and the battlefield is mainly on the ground. The most advanced battleship he has ever boarded in his life is nothing more than a light frigate.
Zhao Yuying added: "Fleet battles in the air are completely different from ground battles. Sometimes even the generals don't have the ability to protect themselves. You don't have experience, so it's best not to participate in this kind of battle, lest you become cannon fodder. When there is a chance in the future, I will take you to the front line to fight a few battles, and it will be easy to handle with experience. You can't suffer if you hang out with your old sister!"
Although Zhao Yuying's words were sometimes very hurtful, but the last few words made Qianye feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
The Zhao family has no eyes, and regards the weak as dust. But once they are recognized, they will find a completely different side of them. A group of lions will only accept another lion. If a wolf comes close, it will immediately become food.
With the in-depth contact with them, Qianye was a little horrified to find that the hardest corner of his heart was showing signs of melting. Occasionally recalling the events of the year, his anger and hatred seemed to weaken each time.
Zhao Yuying prepared this locomotive for Qianye. After entering the wilderness, Qianye felt its benefits.
A shelf was installed at the rear of the locomotive. On one side was a large backpack filled with various field supplies and supplies, and on the other side was only Dongyue. With such a heavy load, the locomotive still has enough power, Qianye felt that it would not be a problem to release Dongyue. Such a large power even surpasses many light armored off-road vehicles.
After leaving Heiliu City for a certain distance, Qianye jumped off the motorcycle and put Dongyue and the backpack into Anduya's mysterious world, where there were more ammunition supplies piled up.
After putting away Dongyue, the locomotive immediately regained its full vitality. When driving into the wilderness again, the locomotive equipped with a special noise reduction device only made a faint, silky sound, and the speed was almost over 100 kilometers per hour before it was fully exerted. Such a little ground rubbing sound is insignificant, and even the nocturnal beasts are louder than this when they run.
The only problem is the suspension of the locomotive. Specially adjusted shock absorbers can allow the motorcycle to travel at higher speeds on rough terrain, but it requires extremely high physical fitness of the rider. Qianye felt that if Zhan Jiang drove as fast as he did, he would be dizzy and vomit in less than half an hour.
This is basically a land travel tool prepared for warlords.
Qianye's eyes fell on the engine hood of the motorcycle, where there was a picture of a beautiful woman with a flamboyant expression and an exaggerated cigar in her mouth. The eyebrows and eyes looked like Zhao Yuying herself. Qianye never expected Zhao Yuying to have such a skill.
Looking at the head portrait with wanton and wild brushwork, Qianye couldn't help but smile on his face. With these more people, the Eternal Night Realm doesn't seem to be so dark and lonely.
The locomotive drove all the way to the northwest, and after driving nearly a hundred kilometers, it left the actual control area of Heiliu City, and the turbulent Heishui River was already in sight.
Arriving here is the real gray area, where both dark races and humans are active. However, the enemy is not just the opponent's camp. In this disorderly land, any life encountered may be an enemy.
Qianye adjusted his direction and turned west parallel to the Heishui River. A little further on, there are rolling hills where the Blackwater River turns north. And Qianye will change direction, enter the mountainous area, and explore the strongholds and town distribution of the dark race along the way.
Along the way, Qianye encountered human hunters and adventurers several times. Most of them acted in small groups, and they were all surprised when they saw the speed of Qianye's locomotive. Qianye didn't pay attention to them, they all passed quickly at a distance. In the wilderness, the enemy and us are often just a thought, and the same race is sometimes more dangerous than the dark race.
It's not that Qianye is afraid of anyone, it's just that he doesn't want to waste time. He didn't want to point his guns at humans when it wasn't necessary.
When it was about to officially enter the border of the kingdom of darkness, several black smoke billowed from the distance.
Qianye's extraordinary vision saw three light off-road vehicles nicknamed "Mountain Spiders" speeding towards them from a distance. There were three or four adventurers sitting on each off-road vehicle. Most of them were wearing leather armor. There are massive tattoos, and metal rings on the ears, nose, and even lips.
Such adventurers are the most dangerous type of people in the wilderness. They are not afraid of death at all. When they are crazy, they dare to attack the stronghold of the dark race, and even attack the convoy of the expeditionary army.
They are called carrion vultures, for a piece of carrion, or even just for the stimulation of the moment when they are on the line of life and death, they can do whatever they want without any scruples.
Qianye lifted the handlebars and slightly changed direction, getting out of the way of the oncoming attack. At the same time, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and suddenly increased his speed, preparing to bypass the trouble in front of him.
On the first off-road vehicle, a woman with black lips stared at Qianye, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Sand Snake, there's something wrong with that kid's motorcycle!"
The man named Sand Snake was a big bald man with a hideous poisonous snake tattoo on the top and back of his head. He glanced at Qianye, the corner of his eye twitched, and shouted, "Damn it, it's the best!"
