In the dead of night, the airship take-off and landing site suddenly burst into flames, and the sound of the explosion woke up the defenders in the entire base city. The flaming pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, and from a distance, the tongue of flame seemed to lick the low-hanging Iron Curtain.
Nangong Yuanwang hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was sitting quietly reading a book. He rushed to the sky above the takeoff and landing field as soon as he saw the fire. At this moment, most of the airship take-off and landing sites were engulfed in flames, and the airships burned and exploded one after another.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Yuanwang suddenly felt his eyes go dark, knowing that the fuel depot of the airship was ignited. Even he can't save this kind of fire, the takeoff and landing field has been destroyed, and most of the floating fleet of the Nangong Private Army is also buried with him.
But the fuel depot of the airship is the most important thing. It has always been garrisoned with heavy troops and has taken sufficient fire prevention measures. How could it be detonated so easily? But at this time, although the flames were fierce, they hadn't started for long, and the person who made the move must have not gone far.
Nangong Yuanwang looked like lightning, swept across the audience, and instantly fixed on a figure walking towards the wilderness.
That was Qianye!
With a thought in his mind, Nangong Yuanwang flew out, and caught up with Qianye in a blink of an eye, blocking his way.
Qianye didn't panic, he looked straight at Nangong Yuangao, the original force in his left hand had gathered, and it had actually condensed into a small whirlpool. "Why, Elder Nangong has finally made up his mind, is he planning to fight me well?"
Nangong Yuanwang's eyes fell on the original force vortex in Qianye's left hand, his face changed and he remained silent. From this small vortex, he really felt the aura that might trigger the will of the sky ghost.
Qianye waited for a while, seeing that Nangong Yuanwang didn't answer, so he smiled and said, "If Elder Nangong doesn't want to fight, then I'll leave and come to visit later."
Nangong Yuanwang didn't move until Qianye left.
He comes from a noble family, holds great power, and still has a glimmer of hope of being a god general. Among the hundreds of millions of people in the empire, Nangong Yuanwang is also a figure standing at the top. The death of his only son in battle is the biggest setback he has encountered in recent years, but he has already left his blood. Although his grandchildren are still young, their talents far exceed their father's. In less than ten years, his lineage will be able to accomplish a lot.
And Qianye is just a poor boy from the Eternal Night Realm, who clings to the juniors of the Song and Zhao Clans to get such a small town that is worth less than even a village in the upper continent. In the eyes of Nangong Yuanwang, Qianye's wealth is no different from being poor and poor. How can he be willing to die with such a person
But now the situation has reached a stalemate, Qianye's words and deeds make it clear that he will come back, and he will continue to repeat tonight's surprise attack. If there is no way to stop him, the editor of Nangong Shijia will be eaten piece by piece. And besides the private army, there are also many teams of the Nangong family under the Iron Curtain.
Under the night, Nangong stood motionless from a distance, like a statue.
The sky was approaching dawn, Qianye arrived in Heiliu City safely, and had time to have breakfast with Song Zining.
Hearing that Qianye killed most of the airships of the Nangong family's reorganization division, Song Zining asserted: "Within three days, Nangong Yuanwang will definitely retreat!"
"I hope so, it's meaningless to deal with these ordinary people." Qianye said as he quickly wiped out the piles of food.
Song Zining shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If this private army goes back safely, or is transferred to another theater where the bloody battle took place, it will always be a disaster."
Having said this, Song Zining stopped his movements and fell silent. Looking at his appearance, Qianye knew that Song Zining was planning to make the editor of the Nangong family never leave Yongye.
Qianye was not good at this kind of thing, and always left it to Song Zining to solve it, and he continued to eat his own food.
"Qianye, what are you going to do next?" Song Zining asked after thinking for a while.
Qianye already has plans for this matter, "Soldiers pay attention to fighting to support war, so I will continue to participate in bloody battles, stabilize the current state, and at the same time get some military merits back. By the way, the military merits of this battle of Heiliu If you don’t have a special purpose, you can register under the Zhao Clan’s name one by one, I promised Yuying to help her get some military merits. Of course, all the benefits from the Zhao Clan belong to you.”
"Yuying? That's no problem!" Song Zining agreed very readily.
Sure enough, as Song Zining expected, within three days, the division of the Nangong family pulled out their camp and retreated, releasing the passage from Heiliu City to the hinterland of Sanhe County.
However, Nangong Yuanwang had been withdrawn beyond the Iron Curtain before reorganizing the remnant army. Only by leaving the Iron Curtain can one not be afraid of Qianye's attack. As for Nangong Town, after escaping from serious injuries, it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover.
After exiting the Iron Curtain, Nangong Yuanwang did not make any arrangements for Qianye, which surprised many people who were waiting to watch the excitement, but Song Zining still expected it.
Qianye's confrontation with Nangong Zhen and Nangong Yuanwang proved that his combat strength is enough to move freely under the Iron Curtain. With Nangong Yuanwang in charge, the private army could withdraw safely, but the Nangong family still had many teams and many young children and subordinates fighting on the battlefield.
If you really want to push Qianye into a hurry, and specifically go to intercept and kill the Nangong Family team, it will definitely be a one-sided massacre. Even if the iron curtain recedes one day in the future, there is no need to count on the Nangong family's record in this bloody battle, not to mention the most important thing is the loss of young children, which will affect the family's development in the next twenty years.
In fact, due to the heavy losses in chasing and killing Qianye, the Nangong family on the bloody battle ranking list began to show signs of fatigue. This made the always strong Nangong family even more unbearable. And recently, not only the upper echelons of the empire have been rumored, but there have also been some private criticisms within the imperial party. While questioning the strength of the Nangong family, they have also vaguely accused them of their previous actions against the Song clan team.
So not only was the Patriarch Nangong Yuanbo under increasing pressure, Nangong Yuanwang, who was in charge of the frontline command, was also criticized a lot, thinking that he was unable to maintain the situation. Under such circumstances, the elders of the Nangong family weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and were unwilling to force Qianye to his death.
After all, the Nangong family and Qianye's feud started because of a clan girl who was expelled a long time ago. This reason made most members of the elders unacceptable. It was clear at a glance whether it was more important to kill Qianye to save the face of the Nangong family, or to stabilize the results of the bloody battle and ensure the growth of the young children of the Nangong family.
Moreover, since the bloody battle, the overall situation of the Liming and Yongye camps has undergone major changes. The situation at this time is completely different from when the war first started.
As more and more dark races from various continents began to attach importance to bloody battles, young geniuses from the side of Eternal Night continued to enter the Iron Curtain, and the pressure on the empire skyrocketed. In most of the area, the dark race has already begun to gain an advantage, and even completely drove the imperial team out of the battle zone.
This change can also be seen intuitively from some public data.
Since the regular release of the Imperial Military Merit Rankings, people have found that the total growth of each period of military merit is slowing down, while the casualties of the major families are rising steadily in places where people cannot see, and at the same time, there are some well-known names Appeared on the death list.
The roles between hunter and prey are gradually changing.
Not long after the Nangong private army withdrew, Qianye left Heiliu City alone in the early morning before dawn, and went to the dark country to continue his safari. But this time on his hunting list, besides the dark race, there are Nangong Family and Bai Kongzhao.
When Qianye disappeared at the border of the kingdom of darkness, it was time to announce the latest ranking list of the empire's military achievements. Zhao Fan's position finally changed, climbing from ninth to seventh with difficulty.
Compared to the strength and status of the Zhao Clan, this ranking can even be said to be a shame. If it was at the beginning of the bloody battle, it could also be explained by the fact that the family was making preparations and did not send out elite troops. But now, even Zhao Jundu has played for a long time, and there is only this ranking, which cannot be explained anyway.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Zhao Mansion in Xiji City was gloomy, like a storm was approaching, and everyone dared not even take a breath. The arrival of two family warriors suddenly broke the silence. They ran at full speed, without any hesitation about the rules of walking in the mansion.
Duke Yan opened the envelope, took out the urgent report and glanced at it, his face turned livid, and he slapped the stack of documents on the table heavily. You Guogong read it repeatedly, several times in a row, before he put the emergency report between his hands, rubbed it slowly, and ground it into powder dust, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip.
The two urgent reports actually have the same content, which is the list of the Zhao Clan's children killed in battle this month. It's just that this list is too long, to the point where the two princes are also displeased with it.
On the western border, in the center of the camp of the Wolf Smoke Corps, suddenly there was a roar that shook the sky!
Cheng Engong of the Empire and Zhao Weihuang, the leader of the Zhao Clan, slapped the urgent report on the table, and the paper, together with the iron-wood desk below, which was stronger than fine steel, was smashed into pieces.
But he was full of anger, and Zhao Weihuang threw everything he saw. In the blink of an eye, everything in the study was smashed to pieces, even a pair of jade bottles that he had been playing with for nearly thirty years were not spared.
With such a change, the generals and staff of the Wolf Smoke Legion were alarmed long ago and hurried over. But when they heard the sound of thunder inside, they didn't dare to go in, they could only wait at the door, they didn't even have the guts to whisper, and they looked at each other as gestures.
In the study, Zhao Weihuang's roar was still echoing: "The four direct clans were wiped out, seventeen direct clans, and more than fifty side clans died in battle! It's too much to bully me, Zhao Clan, do you really think that I, Zhao Weihuang, dare not kill people?!"
The generals held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. Although most of Zhao Weihuang's subordinates are warriors on the battlefield, they can all hear that the inside story behind these numbers is not simple. This kind of political struggle goes straight to the court, and it is simply not something they can participate in.
With a bang, the door of the study room made of purple star celestial wood was kicked flying, drawing an arc and falling towards the barracks on the other side of the school field.
Zhao Weihuang strode out and shouted: "Pass down my military order, and bring out the best of the best, and come back to Qinlu with me! I'd like to see if I, the wolf smoke of a hundred battles, are stronger, or their private army can fight!"
