Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 638: Duke Wei's choice

Views:

The Grand Duke of the Nerubian interrupted the old Marquis impatiently, and said, "No matter what difficulties you have, I just need to know one thing, how long will it take?"

"At least one more day."

"One day!?" Ardak's roar was like thunder, covering tens of kilometers in a radius. Several of the weakest vampires couldn't bear the coercion of the Grand Duke's wrath, and passed out directly, falling straight from the sky .

Ardak didn't even look at the falling vampires, and continued to roar: "One day is enough for those human reptiles to escape into their another war zone! You only have one hour! Within one hour, a passage must be opened!"

"But we need a whole city..."

"Complete cities? Whose stupid order is this?"

The old Marquis said: "This is what His Majesty meant."

Akdak suddenly fell silent. In the mouth of the blood clan, there is only one Majesty without any prefix, and that is the queen of the night, Lilith.

After a while, Ardak said coldly: "I heard that something happened to your Majesty the Queen. She just came back from the depths of the void and was about to fall into a deep sleep again. Do you think that at this time, her orders can still be taken care of?" get me?"

But on this matter, the old Marquis was extremely stubborn, saying: "Your Majesty is not asleep yet. In addition, no matter what your Majesty's state is, you can't talk about it on your own."

The Grand Duke of the Spider Demon snorted, and did not continue to attack. Maybe after he steps into the kingship, he can be qualified to criticize the queen of the night a little bit, but that's all. Nerubians are not demons after all, even the one on the holy mountain of the Eternal Night Council would not be willing to easily conflict with the Queen of the Night.

Seeing this situation, Ardak knew that it would be difficult for him to command the 100,000 dark army headed by the blood race. If he went back to the base camp to apply for adjustment of command authority, it would take a long time to go back and forth, and the enemy would have already run away Far.

"Who are there in the empire?" Ardak asked suddenly.

The old Marquis didn't hide anything, and said: "The commander is General Weiyuan Zhang Junshu, and the one who guards the army should be Wei Guogong."

Ardak's voice suddenly fluctuated: "Duke Wei? Is he there?"

The old Marquis said: "Yes, during our last attack, Duke Wei personally stopped us, and then the imperial army general burned the city successfully. I have fought against him before, so I can't be mistaken."

Ardak was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and knocked several blood races out of the air: "Okay, okay, very good! Let me see how much that little guy has grown over the years!"

Amidst the loud laughter, a man suddenly appeared in front of the old marquis of the blood race, wearing an iron gray robe, nearly three meters tall, looking down on the blood race like a giant.

He wore several rings on the three fingers of his left hand, gemstones the size of pigeon eggs exuded a shining light, which was extremely eye-catching. The eyes of several blood races fell on those rings uncontrollably, and then they were trapped and gradually deepened, as if the entire soul was about to be absorbed into it.

The blood of the old Marquis suddenly expanded, he wrapped up several subordinates with dull expressions, and shouted: "Don't look at the Grand Duke's hand!"

Ardak finally took a look at the old Marquis and said, "Although you are old, you are still useful."

The wrinkles on the old Marquis's face became deeper, and he said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Grand Duke, for your compliment."

Ardak looked at the direction in which the imperial army was going away, and suddenly he raised his head to the sky and roared loudly, rumbling and thundering, and it spread quickly into the distance.

Ardak's body suddenly swelled, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into a huge spider with a height of more than ten meters and a metallic luster shining all over his body!

Countless silk threads were shot out from the ends of the eight jointed feet, weaving a road of silk nets in the air, instantly crossing the sky over the burning Twilight City, leading directly to the front. Ardak's huge spider body flickered continuously, and every time it flickered, it would appear a thousand meters away and disappear at the end of sight in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the silk road in the sky began to dissipate slowly.

A sharp voice suddenly sounded in the battleship: "Grand Duke, battleship!"

Ardak's answer came from the sky: "You are too slow, follow up yourself!"

The huge battleship slowly climbed up, submerged into the clouds, crossed the soaring flames of Twilight City, and chased in the direction where Ardak disappeared.

It wasn't until the Nerubian Grand Duke's ship disappeared that an earl said gloomyly: "Just this one ship chasing after it? It seems that the human race has already prepared for it, and the floating fleet looks not weak."

The expression of the old Marquis remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Your Excellency Ardak has accumulated a lot, which is not comparable to us. If we lose a ship, we need to rebuild it. Our fleet is lost, but it will take decades to make up for it."

The earl showed a sinister smile. How can the Grand Duke's ship be compared with ordinary blood warships, especially the Grand Duke's ship is larger than a standard battleship, and the cost of one ship is worth half of the standard blood fleet.

Zhang Clan Zhongjun, the son of Wei Guogong who had been pondering for a long time finally fell, ended the mess, and then calmly said: "An old friend is here, I will go meet him for a while."

Zhang Junshu looked towards the distant sky, although he couldn't see anything, he could feel that where the sky fell to the horizon, there was a huge and incomparable terrifying momentum rising continuously, just like the eve of a storm.

"Master Guo, you have a noble status, you should be careful in everything, it's better to stay in the army." Zhang Junshu did not hide his inner worry. He was only one step away from the god general, and he could distinguish the terrifying aura approaching rapidly in the distance, which was still above Wei Guogong.

Duke Wei stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Jun Shu, don't forget that none of us Dukes came from hereditary protection, and it is my duty to kill on the battlefield."

"Grandpa..." Zhang Junshu waited to persuade.

Wei Guogong waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, besides, my lord's death may not be certain. Don't fall into the prestige of our imperial soldiers in front of the battle."

After saying that, with a flick of the sleeve of Duke Wei's robe, he rose into the air, and appeared in the void outside the cabin the next moment. His figure was graceful, as if he was walking calmly on flat ground, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and lower, and they are even about to press down on the top of the low-flying air battleship. Zhang Junshu stood still, as if waiting for something.

A moment later, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded on the horizon, and the distant and faint rumbling sound came to the front in an instant. For a while, the world was filled with rolling thunder sounds, and there was no other sound! Many soldiers with insufficient strength only felt dizzy, lost control of their limbs, and fell headlong from the troop truck.

Fortunately, veterans who had experienced battles were specially arranged to lead the team on each truck. Although Lei Yin came suddenly, they were still able to barely keep moving, grabbed the crumbling man, and pulled them back into the carriage.

However, after the sound of thunder, the ground also began to vibrate continuously, and the wind in the air was even stronger. The sand and stones whizzed and flew in the increasingly strong airflow, crackling and hitting the carriage and people. Small stones hitting the exposed skin will immediately leave little red marks.

The floating fleet swayed violently in the strong wind, and some small ships were even more heaving up and down, like a lonely boat in the raging sea, which might capsize at any moment. Even the largest heavy-duty ship couldn't help shaking, struggling to maintain the formation in the air.

Fortunately, Zhang Clan did his best this time, and the ship operators were all really good players. Even in this natural disaster-like environment, they did not panic and tried their best to control the balance of the ship.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Junshu immediately ordered that all the small ships should leave the formation and launch into the air at full speed in order to have more room for maneuver.

The strong wind in the sky was endless, and the ground surged wave after wave. Many trucks were thrown into the air!

At this moment, even the veterans of the third and fourth ranks could only hold onto the carriage tightly so that they would not be thrown out. Once it is released, it will be blown into the sky by this tornado-like airflow, and it will be thrown to nowhere.

The whole body of the central flagship shone with yellowish light, and the band of light composed of several runes pulled out a faint mask, protecting the entire battleship and isolating the raging wind.

Looking at the gloomy sky in the distance, Zhang Junshu's face was as dark as the sky.

All the generals in the command cabin were experienced in many battles, but they couldn't help being moved when they saw such a shocking change. A major general asked in horror: "General, this, is this..."

Zhang Junshu breathed heavily, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, it's the Duke of the Kingdom who has already fought the enemy."

The faces of the generals changed drastically immediately.

Those who can stand beside Zhang Junshu at this moment are all important generals of the Zhang family and the empire, and everyone has the experience of participating in the national war. Most of the generals have seen battles at the level of gods, and the Duke of Wei has been in the army for a long time, and he has made several shots before, so everyone feels even more thrilling. You know, even if Wei Guogong made a full attack, he would not have such power.

If this change of heaven and earth is not Wei Guogong, then naturally it is the enemy who is chasing after him. Only from this point of view. Wei Guogong is not only at a disadvantage, I am afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

Zhang Junshu clenched his hands tightly and then let them go, and then clenched them again, making a slight crackling sound from his joints.

Ordinary troops are useless in a battle at the level of a general. Just the aftermath of the explosion of the force hedging can kill a square team. Not to mention that once the domain of the strong is opened, the warriors below will not be able to approach at all.

However, even if all the strongest in the army went to help in the battle, the best result would be a miserable victory. Even if Wei Guogong can get away, but Zhang Clan, the strong private army, will be lost, and it will be over. In this battle, Zhang Clan's 100,000 elite private army has half of them under Zhang Junshu's command, and now only less than 20,000 are left on their way home.

The 20,000 people are the last bones and blood. As long as they can be brought back and used as a framework to replenish recruits, it will take less than half a year to get another elite army. But if everything is lost in this battle, then nothing will be left.

The Duke of Wei would rather face Ardak, the Grand Duke of the Spider Demon, than let Zhang Junshu help in the battle, because he knew that this army, and the strong men in this army, were the foundation of the Zhang Clan, and if it was damaged, it would damage the foundation. And if Wei Guogong was martyred in this battle, for the sake of preserving the vitality of the Zhang Clan, Qingyang Zhang and even Qingyang King Zhang Boqian would spare no effort to protect Wei Guogong's descendants.

This is an embarrassing choice, but it is also Duke Wei's choice.

With a bang, Zhang Junshu slammed his fist heavily on the podium, and shouted: "Go and help the brothers below, hurry up! The faster we go, the sooner the Duke can leave the battlefield!"

The generals responded with a bang and rushed out. It's just that the vision of heaven and earth in the distance weighs heavily on everyone's heart like a lead weight. In the face of the absolute power difference, Duke Wei took the initiative to fight again. If he wants to break away, his hope may be slim.

At this moment, a colonel rushed into the command cabin and shouted: "The outer floating ship found an unknown floating ship approaching, and it is suspected to be the ship of Ardak, the Nerubian Grand Duke!"
