This unit is equipped with the best equipment. Although it is only the size of a battalion, it has installed more than ten tanks, several self-propelled heavy artillery, and all infantry are equipped with armored personnel carriers.
Accompanying this force came two floating warships. Although it is only the lowest-level gunboat, it is an active battleship after all, and its combat power is far from comparable to those old floating airships that are common on the Evernight Continent.
Their marching speed was unusually fast, and the scouts on the outskirts of Heiliu City had no time to send back the warning message, and the lookout post on the top of the city had already seen people.
A dark fire sentry suddenly exclaimed, and in the field of vision of the telescope, the banner of the Nangong family was so dazzling.
A thousand meters away from Heiliu City, this army stopped far away, put up a battle formation, put down the brackets of several self-propelled heavy artillery, raised their barrels, and pointed at Heiliu City from a distance.
While the sentinel called someone to report to the officer, he moved the binoculars to observe the battle formation, and suddenly saw a flash of fire from the muzzle of one of the heavy artillery. The sentinel's face was instantly horrified, and was immediately engulfed by deafening roars and gunpowder smoke.
At this time, in the eyes of onlookers, the self-propelled heavy artillery fired in unison, and the flames shot directly at the top of the city wall of Heiliu City, and then collided and exploded one by one in the air with incomparable precision.
Originally, this round of shelling, which was like a salute, passed away, but unexpected changes occurred. After a violent shock, the section of the city wall below the explosion cracked in an uproar, and a sentry tower slowly collapsed. A few soldiers from the top flew out and fell into the city wall with long screams, while the rest of the soldiers were obviously buried directly in the collapsed masonry.
A piercing siren sounded over Heiliu City, and a group of dark fire fighters rushed out of the barracks in an instant and rushed to the designated post. In the past war, the surviving Darkfire fighters have all become iron-blooded veterans, and fighting has become an instinct in the blood.
After a round of heavy artillery, the unit fired no more.
"Wait! Don't fire!" At the head of Heiliu City, a major shouted loudly, pressing down the muzzles of the soldiers' guns one by one.
A non-commissioned officer yelled at the major, "What are you doing? Didn't you see how many brothers died? I didn't die at the hands of the black-blooded bastards. Are they going to die at the hands of the Imperials?"
The officer's face was gloomy, and he was obviously holding back his anger. He said in a deep voice, "That's the army of the Nangong family. As long as we fire, it's equivalent to going to war with the Nangong family. This is not something you and I can decide!"
The non-commissioned officer glared at the officer with fire in his eyes, but although he was furious, he also knew that the major was right. Those few shots were more like a way of "greeting" by the Nangong family, aiming to give Heiliu City a blow. It's just that there was a bloody "accident" temporarily.
Among the troops of the Nangong family outside the city, a sullen-faced man put down his binoculars, and a confident sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Then Song Zining's ability to lead troops seems to be no more than that."
The adjutant next to him immediately said: "With their ability, how can they compare with the elite of my Nangong family?"
The man waved his hand and pointed forward, and said: "Since the greeting has been said, it's time to visit." After that, he and his adjutant boarded a command vehicle and drove to Heiliu City. Several chariots wanted to follow up, but he stopped them with a wave of his hand.
Seeing an off-road command vehicle leave the army alone and drive straight to the city gate, Major Darkfire on the wall became even more vigilant. The weapons in their hands can deal with heavy tanks, but they can't deal with the strong ones in the command vehicle.
Just when the major was hesitating whether to warn and shoot, a thick voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Let them in."
The whistle blew shortly, clouds of steam rose, and the newly repaired gate of Heiliu City slowly slid on both sides of the guide rail. The off-road vehicle drove straight in without hesitation.
In the middle of the avenue in the city, stood a man who looked like an iron tower, with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were like knives, staring at the off-road vehicle. The speed of the approaching car did not slow down, the engine roared wildly, and it hit the man straight!
The man in the middle of the road remained motionless, his expression remained the same, as if he didn't see the oncoming off-road vehicle at all.
Amidst the screeching brakes, the off-road vehicle decelerated crazily, the body bounced violently, and finally stopped at the last moment, but the front of the car still touched the man's body, making a muffled bang. A paleness flashed across the man's face, and then disappeared.
The door of the off-road command vehicle opened, and the shady man stepped down, glanced at the person blocking the way, nodded and praised: "There is such a fierce general in this barren place! I don't know what to call it?"
"Duan Hao."
The Yin Zhi man nodded and said: "I am here in Nangong Town, and I am here to pay my respects to the Seventh Young Master." This man obviously came with bad intentions, but he spoke and behaved politely, showing the demeanor of a family member.
Duan Hao's brows twitched slightly, and he said, "Seventh Young Master is already waiting, please follow me. Besides, this car can only drive here."
"That's fine, I'll go with you." Nangong Zhen didn't care too much, ordered the adjutant to get off the car, and followed Duan Hao to the Dark Fire headquarters.
On the way, Nangong Zhen suddenly said: "Duan Hao, I think you are a rare talent, how about returning to Yuelu with me? I have ten thousand elite soldiers under my command, and you can choose them. As long as you make meritorious service, I can guarantee you to become Fief nobles."
Duan Hao opened his mouth wide, chuckled, and said, "I'm a rough person, but I can't do anything else, besides, this bad life has already been sold to Seventh Young Master."
The face of the adjutant next to him suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "With your strength, the adults think highly of you for recruiting you! Don't..."
Nangong Zhen frowned, raised his hand to stop the adjutant, and didn't let him continue talking. Duan Hao grinned grimly, and glanced at the adjutant. The adjutant felt chills inexplicably, and shivered uncontrollably.
Duan Hao is still at the eighth level now. Although the ninth node has faintly appeared, it is not the ninth level after all, and the adjutant of Nangong Town is the real ninth level. However, Duan Hao's domineering aura of killing from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is very rare. When the two sides confronted each other, the adjutant was immediately intimidated, and could not help but retreat.
Seeing Nangong Zhen, his face was even more worried, and he snorted heavily. He knew in his heart that if he went to the battlefield and his adjutant met Duan Hao, it would be life and death, and this is exactly what he liked about Duan Hao.
It's like this for one of his subordinates, so what kind of character should Song Zining be? What's more, there is also a rather mysterious city lord Qianye in Heiliu City.
In the Battle of Heiliu, it was widely rumored that Song Zining would go straight to the Chinese army and kill the generals before the battle. But the Nangong family left people to watch the battle outside. The scouts made it clear that it was Qianye who killed the Chinese army alone, beheaded Luther, and thus broke the siege of the army. It's just that this person hasn't shown up in front of people after the war, and obviously his injuries are not serious. This is the best time to settle the previous grievances.
Thinking of this, Nangong Zhen's eyes became slightly dignified, but only a little bit dignified, and his arrogance did not diminish in the slightest. Accompanying Duan Hao to walk this part of the road is called a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness.
In the study, Song Zining stood in front of the window, looking at the group of people on the dark fire avenue, and said to himself, "Nangongzhen? So it's him who came, so it's interesting."
Nangong Town has been famous for a long time, and has been leading the legion abroad, mainly fighting against foreigners. He recently joined the Presbyterian Church and became one of the youngest elders of the Nangong Family.
Behind Song Zining, Song Hu was reporting the round of shelling when the Nangong private army arrived. Song Zining's face was still calm, but his right hand, which was behind him, stretched and clenched into a fist. This is a habitual little move when he is about to kill.
After a while, Nangong Zhen walked into the study. He took a deep look at Song Zining, and before waiting for a greeting, he immediately sat down with a golden knife, as if he was the master here.
Both Song Hu and Duan Hao were furious, and they took a step forward, waiting to be scolded. However, Nangong Zhen just stared at them, and a mountain-like heavy pressure fell on them, which immediately made it difficult for them to breathe, and the bones of their bodies were crackling.
Although Duan Hao and Song Hu are both highly accomplished senior military officers, there is still a world of difference in strength between them and Nangong Zhen.
"How can you be rude to Lord Nangong?" Song Zining said, and waved his hand, signaling Duan Hao and Song Hu to back off. The pressure on Song Hu and Duan Hao was gone.
Song Zining looked as usual, as if he didn't mind Nangong Zhen's rudeness at all, and sat down in front of him with a flick of his sleeves, turning a blind eye to Nangong Zhen's sharp gaze that seemed to be real.
Surprise flashed across Nangong Zhen's eyes, and he said immediately: "Being famous is worse than seeing each other. Seventh Young Master is indeed a young hero. No wonder he was able to win the battle of Heiliu."
Song Zining smiled and said, "It's just a fluke, Mr. Nangong's reputation is too high, I don't know what to do here?"
Nangong Zhen did not answer, but asked, "Where is the Lord of Guicheng?"
Song Zining raised his eyebrows, pointed to his feet, and said, "In this land, no matter what happens, I can be in charge." As he spoke, his heart suddenly became more alert. Qianye has not shown up in the retreat, so he can't hide it from anyone. What is Nangong Town doing
Nangong Zhen snorted heavily, slapped the armrest of the seat vigorously, and said coldly: "Then Qianye killed and wounded many children of my Nangong family, thinking that he would be fine if he hid and meditated? Let him come out and lead him to death!"
At the last sentence, Nangong Zhen's voice was stern, and the original force burst out, and a storm suddenly broke out in the study. All the bookcases, tables and chairs flew up and smashed against the wall.
Song Hu flew backwards involuntarily, fell heavily on the wall, and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Duan Hao roared repeatedly and fought desperately, but he still couldn't resist the pressure and stepped back step by step, leaving deep footprints on the floor. Even the adjutant brought by Nangong Zhenyuan turned pale and backed away again and again until he leaned against the wall before he could stand still.
In the whole study, only Song Zining was sitting peacefully, but his clothes were fluttering. The furniture that was still intact was the chairs under Song Zining and Nangong Zhen.
Song Zining's face sank like water, and he shouted, "Nangong Town! This place is under the Iron Curtain. If you are not careful, everyone will suffer!"
"So what?" Nangong Zhen grinned grinningly, and continued to increase his force.
With a muffled bang, half of the wall of the study facing the small square outside collapsed. Song Hu, Duan Hao, and Nangong Town's adjutant were swept out together, and a faint air vortex had already begun to form in the room.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire Heiliu City suddenly became a little more depressing. The unchanging leaden gray sky seemed to be thrown into the surface of a lake with a pebble. Shallow ripples flashed by, but the insignificant fluctuations did not completely subside. The Iron Curtain seemed to It has sunk a little and is still falling. An indescribably huge aura is brewing, making people tremble.
Only those who have reached a certain level of strength can sense this terrifying aura that changes the color of the world. Most ordinary people are at a loss, but their emotions suddenly become irritable, as if a group of violent voices are roaring in their chests, it is difficult to calm down.
Song Zining was startled and angry at the same time, at this moment he completely understood Nangong Zhen's intentions!
Apparently Nangong Town heard that Qianye was recuperating to heal his wounds, and this was the last thing to be disturbed. He came here to attract the aura of the heavenly ghost and pass over Heiliu City, so as to inflict severe damage on Qianye. Under the Iron Curtain, the will of the heavenly ghosts is boundless, the more powerful the stronger the induction, it cannot be blocked by mere walls.
Once startled by the heavenly ghost's breath, Qianye may not only be mentally injured, but may even damage his foundation, making it impossible for him to make further progress in the future. Nangong Zhen's move can be described as extremely vicious.
Nangong Zhen sneered coldly, sitting upright, skillfully controlling the force to the critical point, enough to induce the aura of the heavenly ghost to pass over the city, but not to make that terrifying will really cast its eyes down.
