Qianye's way back to Heiliu City was uneventful. He occasionally encountered a team, and the other party hurried to the battle zone. Seeing the expeditionary army mark on Qianye's car, he cautiously moved away.
It seems that the county town where all kinds of nobles gather together is the most chaotic place in the vicinity.
As soon as he returned to the dark fire base, Qianye distributed the firearms and armor to the senior officers of the dark fire, and now their chances of saving their lives on the battlefield increased greatly.
As soon as the remaining materials brought back by Qianye were counted and put into storage, news came from outside that the convoy from Ningyuan Heavy Industry had arrived. That cart of supplies was no small matter, Qianye immediately rushed over to check the situation.
The convoy consists of dozens of trucks, and the scale is larger than Qianye expected. Duan Hao is instructing the workers to move boxes of goods down. These cargo boxes are very heavy, and they need the help of officers with the rank of soldiers to unload them safely. There is actually a special lifting truck in the fleet, which is used to load and unload large parts of the power tower.
Although a small power tower was delivered this time, the core boiler alone took up the capacity of the entire truck. Larger power towers cannot be transported by trucks, but rely on large and medium-sized cargo airships.
Except for the various parts of the power tower, the rest of the goods are mostly neat boxes.
Qianye walked to the cargo box, tapped it with his hand, and asked, "What is this? Open it and have a look."
"This is a good thing!" Duan Hao said with a big grin. With his own hands, he tore off the lid of a cargo box, revealing pieces of bluish-black steel plates underneath.
Qianye reached out and picked up a piece to look at. These steel plates were rectangular in shape, mostly one meter square, about two fingers thick, but they were surprisingly light in weight. It seemed that the interior was made of a hollow or honeycomb structure. There are joints on all four edges of the steel plates, which seem to be used for splicing.
"Is this armor plate?"
"Modular fortress armor plate, hell, I just memorized the name a dozen times before I remembered it. It is said that these goods are the latest design, even in the wild, if you splice them together, you can build a fortification in no time. As long as the number is large enough, it is not a problem to build a city!"
Qianye understood the truth in a blink of an eye, and was immediately overjoyed. Dozens of armored vehicles are enough to build a fortification in the wild that can hold the entire regiment. And by putting them together a little bit, they can also be used to build temporary fortifications on the city wall. With this batch of armor plates, the defense of Heiliu City is even stronger.
"Good job! This thing is yours." Qianye was in a good mood, and took out a fifth-level gun and threw it to Duan Hao.
Duan Hao took a look at it, and was taken aback, "This, is this a level five gun?"
"That's right!"
"I just ran a errand, how can I get such a heavy reward?"
Qianye patted Duan Hao's shoulder with a smile, "This gun was only paid to you in advance. Your next task is to defend the city and survive. When the bloody battle is over, it will be entirely yours."
Holding the gun case, even a rough man like Duan Hao was a little speechless for a while.
Qianye said: "Zining entrusted you to me, obviously he is very satisfied with you, and he is also very relieved. I am also relieved of those who Zining is relieved. So I only have one real request for you, and that is to survive until the end of your life." The war is over. In the future, there will be more troops that will need you to command."
"Understood, my lord!"
Qianye smiled, turned and left.
After returning to his residence, Qianye checked the contents of Anduya's space and carry-on backpack, and made a list of supplies that needed to be supplemented to prepare for the next battle.
When he saw the earl-level spider egg, he couldn't help but think of something. After beating Viscount Porto, Qianye accidentally touched the spider egg with his injured hand while packing up the spoils, and found that it could absorb his blood energy, and then its activity increased significantly, which greatly increased the survival time. But he tried other spider eggs, but they didn't work.
Qianye felt that he had handed in too much military merit at one time, so he didn't take out this earl-level spider egg. Anyway, things of this level have no worries, even in the auction houses of the upper continent, they are also very popular.
After thinking about it, he spread out the pen and paper again and wrote a letter to Song Zining, asking how to deal with the nerubian eggs, and then prepared to practice for a few days to adjust his condition to the best before going out to fight.
As time passed and the bloody battle continued, the list of the expeditionary army headquarters kept changing, but the pattern gradually stabilized.
The emperor's family and the four valves finally showed their background, and their rankings rose steadily, always standing in the top ten, and gradually widening the gap with the people behind. There are still five or six high-ranking families who are able to pursue closely, showing the confidence of the powerful, which is eye-catching.
But behind the gradually rising military merit figures on the list are the equally rapidly rising casualties.
After Qianye rested for two days, he went out to fight alone again. This time his luck was not as good as last time. He traveled for nearly half a month and only hunted down two viscounts and dozens of cannon fodder. In the end, he almost fell into an ambush set up by a dark race safari team. After fighting hard for several rounds, he broke out of the encirclement and returned to Heiliu City again.
At this moment, Qianye was covered in blood and pain, and finally arrived outside the city gate on a looted broken locomotive. At this moment, the sound of cannons suddenly sounded continuously in Heiliu City. This is the sound of a salute, a total of seven shots, which means that a person of considerable status has passed away.
Qianye asked the soldiers guarding the city gate: "What's going on?"
The dark fire warrior sighed and said, "It should be Viscount Du Fangjue's funeral. I heard that his team encountered a powerful dark race hunting team, and the whole army was wiped out. Only one person escaped back."
Qianye nodded, feeling inexplicably heavy. The cruelty of the bloody battle is unfolding bit by bit.
Back at the Dark Fire headquarters, after treating the injuries, two unexpected guests came to the door suddenly. One was Li Pei whom Qianye had met once before, and the other was a middle-aged man who was not angry and arrogant, with a deep and heavy breath, and he was clearly an earl-level powerhouse.
Upon seeing Qianye, Li Pei was immediately filled with enthusiasm, and saluted: "Master Qianye, after that day, I felt ashamed and embarrassed. I finally found out where your lord is, so I came here specially to see you today."
After finishing speaking, he introduced the middle-aged man beside him to Qianye, "This is the clan uncle Li Duanhe, who is in charge of the affairs of the Li family team."
After Qianye said hello, he couldn't help but look at Li Duanhe a few more times, and asked, "Is it really all right if Uncle Ling is so cultivated?" In Qianye's real eyes, there are four original forces in Li Duanhe's body. The whirlpool is already a thirteenth-level warrior, which is the upper limit of generally accepted safety standards.
Li Duanhe was finally moved, and said: "Master Qianye's eyes are as bright as torches, it is really surprising. But don't worry about me, even if you use the thirteenth level of force, as long as you use thunder, it will only happen in an instant. The ghost is at this moment You must be busy dealing with the top figures of the two camps, how can you have time to take care of such trivial matters?"
Qianye nodded and said nothing more. He didn't know anything about the situation of Yue Lu Tianqing's Li family, so naturally he wouldn't make shallow remarks.
Li Pei clasped his hands and said, "Lord Qianye's governance of Heiliu City is solid. I saw that Lie Xin was happy and decided to move the team base to Heiliu. There will inevitably be disturbances in the future."
Qianye smiled and said, "Young Master Li, you are being polite."
Li Pei's intention to make friends is very obvious, and the team's base moving here is also quite beneficial to Heiliu City. At the moment, the two sides chatted a few more words, and Li Pei left.
Qianye sent Li's uncle and nephew out of the office building, and watched them get in the car and drive out of the gate of the dark fire camp. Perhaps because of the recent gains, Li Pei looked very high-spirited, and it seemed that he would go out of the city to hunt again soon.
However, there was a faint shadow in Qianye's heart that couldn't go away. These warriors from all over the world went into the wilderness in groups, but they didn't know how many of them would come back safely.
Bloody battles are still different from ordinary wars. You don't know what you will encounter in the next moment. All strategic layouts are useless, and only absolute power is meaningful.
In the next three days, Qianye retreated again to refine the blood essence he had absorbed during the last battle. At the same time, he asked Nangong Xiaoniao to set up a simple practice circle to transform the black crystals he obtained this time into original Strength, assisting in cultivation.
This cultivation circle is a bit special, Qianye asked Nangong Xiaoniao to remove the part that transforms the dark force, so that most of the dark force drawn from the black crystal is the dark force. No matter how precise the original force circle used by the human race for cultivation is, it will consume more than half of it to convert the dark force into the dawn force. It just so happened that Qianye Darkness and Dawn's original power was severely lacking, so naturally they were unwilling to bear the loss.
Nangong Xiaoniao naturally had doubts about cultivating the magic circle like this, but she was very obedient and didn't ask any more questions.
Time flies, three days of training passed in a blink of an eye, and the black crystals that Qianye had exchanged for with his military achievements were almost exhausted, and it was time to go out to battle again.
When Qianye left the customs, he received a reply letter from Song Zining. The letter said that the nerubian egg was very useful, and he would send someone to fetch it soon. In addition, Song Zining also mentioned that another caravan will set off soon, rushing to Heiliu. This caravan was larger than the previous one, but they didn't mention what they were transporting, only that Qianye would know when the time came.
Qianye was a little puzzled, for the time being, Heiliu City didn't seem to be short of anything. Especially after he decided to use the materials originally planned to build the Silverfjord Fortress for the city defense first, the defense of the Dark City was as strong as the empire's own city. What else is needed
But Song Zining never did boring things, since he sold this off, he naturally had his own ideas. Qianye put the letter away, packed his luggage, and left Heiliu again, going hunting for the third time after the bloody battle.
At this time, in the distance, Song Zining was sitting in the study, repeatedly writing and scratching on the paper. As far as the content of these few pieces of paper is concerned, he changed them from morning to afternoon, and even missed lunch, so it was considered a good deal.
Song Zining got up, looked out the window, saw the setting sun in the sky, the sky was high and far away, the wind was clear and the clouds were light, it was a rare good weather. Compared with the places under the Iron Curtain, one is in the sky and the other is in the earth. Song Zining simply walked out of the study and walked towards the garden.
Not long after he left, there was a light knock on the study door, and Ye Mulan said from outside, "Zining, the tea is ready."
She didn't get a response, so she gently pushed the study door.
The door is ajar and opens with a push. Ye Mulan walked into the room, seeing that there was no one there, she couldn't help being startled. She suddenly caught a glimpse of the few pieces of paper on the desk, moved in her heart, walked over lightly, picked them up and looked at them carefully.
