At least when he just killed, Bai Kongzhao didn't carry the demon-born sniper rifle that was so big that it would hinder his movements. It is possible that she had put the gun in a hidden place beforehand and now took it out again. Another possibility is that, like Qianye, she also has some kind of space item in her hand.
This is not good news, at least in battle, the variables will increase infinitely. A very uncomfortable feeling flashed in Qianye's heart. Bai Kongzhao had too many exceptions and accidents.
At this moment, the remaining dark warriors had already run away, and Qianye returned to the battlefield just now. The leader of the surviving warriors limped over, bowed deeply to Qianye, and said, "Thank you General for saving your life! From now on, as long as the general is sent by us, we, the Shouguang Ji family, will never say anything!"
Qianye nodded, accepted his thanks, and asked, "Where is this place? How is the battle ahead?"
The man surnamed Ji said bitterly: "Our family originally fought with the Zhang Clan's army and successfully built the Twilight City, but there are too many black-blooded bastards! They even mobilized 200,000 troops to besiege .Our people have been attacked from 60,000 to 40,000, and then to more than 20,000. It seems that we will be unable to hold on. The general and Wei Guogong asked us small families to disperse first and go to the territory of the Zhao Clan. General Leading the Zhang Clan's army, saying that he will choose an opportunity to withdraw."
Qianye's face changed slightly, he was also from the army, and he knew that if the army was chased by an enemy with a superior force, the return journey would be extremely tragic.
The general that the man surnamed Ji said was Zhang Junshu, the second son of the leader of the Zhang family, Duke Hui, and the current imperial general Zhang Junshu. In terms of seniority, he was Zhang Boqian's cousin. If it is said that Zhang Clan's current prestige is due to King Qingyang, but in the past 30 years, Zhang Clan's illustrious record of securing the top position in the family is half of the credit of this Weiyuan General.
This time guarding the Twilight City, the situation of defeat is irreversible. Zhang Junshu let the small clan he attached to flee first, and he personally led the army to break the rear and set up a dangerous place for himself. Therefore, from men surnamed Ji and below, when mentioning the general, they are all grateful.
The Shouguang Ji family can't even compete with the aristocratic family. It is only a relatively powerful family among the gentry. In a large-scale battle of the level of the Battle of Fulu, it is already a family effort to gather more than a hundred elite fighters. If these If everyone died in battle, the Ji family would be devastated, and it would take at least a few generations to recover.
Zhang Junshu's decision has saved many families of small clans from being wiped out. However, the price is all borne by Zhang Valve.
Qianye was silent.
Although the empire has established the rule that the more respected the position, the heavier the responsibility since the founding of the empire. On the battlefield, it has always been the noble families who retreat first after the high-ranking clans are cut off. However, for thousands of years, this rule has existed in name only. Qianye has seen many aristocratic families intrigue and beggar-thy-neighbor, bloody battles are typical examples.
Zhang Clan may act domineeringly, and there may be problems of one kind or another, but at this critical moment of the battle of national destiny, he has abided by the principles of the founding era. That alone is worthy of respect.
Qianye asked the reason for Bai Kongzhao's attack again, and the man surnamed Ji hated his face a little ferociously, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows what's going on with that lunatic! He suddenly jumped out and started killing regardless of enemy or friend. I heard something similar There have been several incidents, but once the lunatic made a move, he almost lost his life, and the bitch Bai Baotu tried his best to protect her, but the result was nothing. Unexpectedly, we would run into each other today! If it weren't for our fate, After meeting you, General Qianye, I’m afraid you’re all turned into corpses now.”
Speaking of this, he seemed to hate and fear at the same time, but at the same time rejoice. Surviving the encounter with Bai Kongzhao is simply a desperate escape.
After asking a few more questions, Qianye figured out that he is currently on the edge of the Zhang Clan and the Zhao Clan's war zone, not far to the southeast, which is where the Zhao Clan is scheduled to take over the Zhang Clan. Stop the army of darkness.
However, Zhang Clan can only rely on Zhang Clan on the road between Twilight City and Zhao Clan's scheduled reception area.
In a blink of an eye, Qianye made a decision, and said to the man surnamed Ji: "Except for basic defense needs, leave all the ammunition and potions to me."
The man surnamed Ji was taken aback, and said, "You, you want to..."
Qianye didn't answer, but just pointed to the northwest, which was the direction of Zhang Clan's war zone.
The man surnamed Ji suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head, and immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
However, Qianye shook his head and didn't say anything. Even if Qianye didn't say anything, the man surnamed Ji understood that it was not a battlefield he could go to.
A moment later, Qianye headed north alone, towards the battlefield of blood and fire.
At this time, in the far north, the Zhang Clan's army is rolling southward. This is a huge steel torrent composed of nearly a thousand tanks and trucks of various models. The black smoke and steam from the jets are intertwined to form a strange cloud of black and white, covering the entire convoy.
Less than a hundred meters above the convoy, dozens of floating battleships maintained the same speed as the convoy, flying slowly.
In the flagship building in the center, Zhang Junshu was standing in front of the porthole, looking at the twilight city whose outline on the horizon gradually faded.
This super fortress built by the Zhang clan with the efforts of several families, which can accommodate 100,000 troops, has been engulfed in a sea of flames at this moment, and the tumbling flames and smoke rise straight into the sky, which can be seen clearly from dozens of kilometers away.
With Zhang Junshu's eyesight, he could also see hundreds of large and small black spots flying up and down around the sea of flames. They were the airships of the dark race, trying their best to put out the fire.
The terrain of Zhang's war zone is complex, and the lake area close to the foggy forest is widely covered with sand dunes, which is relatively flat. Extending to the Zhao clan war zone, the terrain rises abruptly, the coastline is zigzag, there are many gravel beaches, and there are even eagle-winged walls and barriers across the Xuexian River at the source of the lake area.
Therefore, there is only one passage to the south, and the exit is tightly blocked by the city of twilight. The lake basins in the rest of the area have a huge drop, and some places still have glacial terrain that still shows signs of activity, which is not suitable for large troops to pass through.
This channel looks like it was formed by glaciers washing down from the frosty land in an unknown ages ago. On both sides are cliffs hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters long, twisting and twisting, hundreds of kilometers long, coiling southward. Its narrowest point is no more than a few kilometers, while its widest point is tens of thousands of meters.
However, if it is in the vast mainland, although such an ancient glacier road can be considered magnificent, it is not unprecedented. It's just that the void floating land is only the land of the seven provinces, so the glacier ruins of this scale seem strange, and the length seems to be the entire Frost Land toppled over.
The bottom of the river is quite flat today, and many areas have obviously been repaired, and the original force array has been laid. The hurrying Zhang Clan army was within the influence range of the array, and even the most cumbersome trucks were significantly accelerated, and the army's marching speed increased by at least 30%.
After passing through this array area about several kilometers long, the speed of the army returned to its original level, but the road section left behind suddenly began to explode violently one after another, and countless deep pits and boulders appeared on the smooth road, blocking the passage again.
At this moment, on the other side of the city of twilight, nearly one hundred thousand soldiers of the dark army stood here, looking at the sea of flames in front of them, unable to advance an inch.
Hundreds of airships of various types were shuttling back and forth over the city of Dusk, sprinkling large pieces of gray powder into the flames, trying to control the flames. However, in front of the sea of flames that burned the entire giant city, these hundreds of floating warships seemed weak, and there was nothing they could do to fight the raging fire. It took a long time, and the fire did not diminish.
On the outskirts of the fire site, tens of thousands of dark warriors pushed forward from the ground, extinguishing the fire points in front of them bit by bit, but it seemed that every stone and every support in this city was burning, and their forward speed was very slow , it seems that it will take at least two or three days to extinguish the fire in the entire city.
At this time, a floating battleship appeared in the distant sky, and the eight long driving rods outside the ship showed the identity of the nerubian, the owner of the battleship.
The speed of the battleship was astonishingly fast, and it flew from the sky to the Twilight City in a short while, and then slowly descended. It was accompanied by invisible coercion. The dark army below was unbearable whether it was extinguishing the fire or just lining up. The pieces fell, and the formation was in chaos for a while.
Several long horns were sounded, and the dark army spread out in all directions, avoiding the pressure area, leaving an area almost half a block in size for the floating battleship to land.
However, the floating battleship just stopped at a height of 100 meters, and a majestic voice sounded: "Why don't you move forward? You have already been here for half a day!"
Dozens of blood races in the dark army floated up in the air, and an old blood race man in the middle was already full of silver hair, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as mountain rifts.
He can no longer maintain his youthful appearance, and it is obvious that the long life of the vampire is about to come to an end. However, the blood around him was as thick as substance, like a billowing wave of blood surrounding him, unreservedly showing the terrifying strength of the Marquis of Glory. As long as you go one step further, you can step into the threshold of the Duke, that is, the class that truly controls the entire Eternal Night camp.
However, when flying close to the floating battleship, the blood of the old Marquis was suddenly suppressed and shrank violently, leaving only a thin layer barely covering the body surface. At this moment, he was still hundreds of meters away from the floating battleship. If he got within a hundred meters, even this last bit of blood would be pressed into his body.
However, the dozens of blood clans who had surrounded the old marquis had already fallen behind, unable to even enter within a kilometer range. From the way they wobbled, one could tell that if they got any closer, they might not be able to maintain their aloft, and would fall from the sky one by one under the terrifying pressure.
This is the most real gap, the power gap between Nightmare Weaver and Nerubian Grand Duke Ardak.
The old Marquis said, "Your Excellency Ardak, we are trying to put out the fire, but..."
Ardak interrupted him unceremoniously: "It's nothing but, I just saw you guys flying around like headless chickens, leaving a hundred thousand troops there waiting. Why don't you come from both sides of the city? , or simply open a passage in the middle?"
The old Marquis said: "We need to preserve Twilight City as completely as possible, so now all the floating airships that can be mobilized are participating in the fire fighting. But the human race is very cunning. They seem to have prepared for it. The foundation of the entire city is almost completely destroyed. It is paved with black stones, once it burns, it is very difficult to extinguish it."
