Yetong herself didn't know this, even if she knew, she wouldn't care about it given her temperament. She enjoyed this peaceful day very much, and her only anxiety came from her concern for Qianye. But this kind of longing and missing is the most charming place in life.
Hearing Nanhua's praise, Yetong just smiled and didn't take it seriously, but chatted with Nanhua without saying a word.
Nanhua was very happy to talk, talking all over the place, and giggling from time to time. She is obviously a lively girl, but she is naturally arrogant. In her eyes, a place like Heiliu City is worse than a frontier fortress, it is simply a poor country. The residents of the city, including the hunters and mercenaries who came here to make a living, were also in her eyes the low-level untouchables. It's only because of Song Zining that she lives here submissively. Now that it's rare to have Yetong with whom she can chat, she is naturally very happy to talk.
While chatting, Nanhua suddenly said: "You know, not only Heiliu City, but also the entire county, I can see Zining, Qianye, and you now. No one else It is necessary to talk to them one more time!"
Yetong now also knows that Nanhua is the princess of a small county on the border. These counties are nominally attached to the empire, but in fact they are all similar to independent kingdoms. Most of these counties were established in the place of the Fourth World War, and the empire used them as a barrier to resist the dark race. Therefore, although the status is not respected enough, in terms of strength, it is not inferior to the imperial family. One can imagine how supercilious Nanhua must have been when he was in the county. Being able to say such things is also the highest compliment that Nanhua can give others.
But Yetong just smiled when he heard it, that's all.
In the past, she had a high status in the blood clan, second only to the son Edward in the new generation. And when it comes to bloodline potential, it's no lower than Edward's. Although it is generally accepted that the Queen of the Night is stronger than the Black Winged King, Edward's awakened bloodline is of limited purity, while Yetong is believed to have a near-complete bloodline of the Blackwing King. Comparing the two, Yetong may have greater potential.
If we make an analogy, perhaps only the top few princes and princesses in the empire, or Zhao Jundu and Song Zining, who are recognized as top-level geniuses in terms of background and talent, are eligible to be compared with her. A princess of a small county, if she wants to see Yetong, it depends on her mood.
But these have long been left behind by Yetong. Her current identity is Qianye's woman, a little woman who longs for an ordinary life.
After chatting for a while, Nan Hua suddenly said: "Zi Ning also cares about you very much. Some time ago, he specially sent someone to pass on a message to let me see how you are doing. In fact, he asked you a lot. Six or seven of the ten sentences are about you."
Yetong didn't notice the strangeness in Nanhua's tone, and just asked, "Oh, there's a letter from Zining. Any news from Qianye?"
"I heard that he is very powerful and has a brilliant record. Many old-fashioned powerhouses have been suppressed." When Qianye was mentioned, Nanhua's eyes lit up, but his eyes on Yetong were more complicated.
"He wasn't injured, right?" Yetong obviously wasn't concerned about Qianye's military achievements.
"I've never heard of it. Don't worry about it. Qianye is so powerful that even Zining admires it. How could something happen? But you have to worry about another thing!" Nan Hua kept silent and just laughed. Laughing a little weirdly.
Yetong asked inexplicably, "What should I worry about?"
Nan Hua laughed and said, "I'm worried that someone will snatch your Qianye! As far as I know, there are quite a few people who have taken advantage of him recently!"
"Ah!" Yetong felt a little surprised, but she had never thought about it before. But then he smiled and said: "Someone likes him, isn't that great, but Qianye won't change."
Nan Hua said: "You are really confident. Sigh, but you really should be confident. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who is worthy of Qianye."
Nanhua had a great chat and talked for a long time before leaving.
Back at his residence, the maid sent another letter from Song Zining. As usual, the letter asked about Yetong's situation, which suddenly cast a shadow on Nanhua's face. However, thinking of Qianye from this, Nanhua had a subtle feeling.
No matter in Heiliu City or wherever, Song Zining was a dazzling existence. But when he stood with Qianye, to someone like Nanhua, he would feel that Qianye was like an iceberg, floating on the water but only a small corner, and the real body under the waterline was impossible to fathom. Just a corner of the water, it seems not much darker than Song Zining.
When standing in front of Qianye, Nanhua actually felt an involuntary shudder.
At this moment, Song Zining was pacing back and forth in the cabin, looking restless. With the speed of a high-speed warship, we will reach our destination in half an hour. But even this half an hour made him unable to wait.
Song Zining sat down at the table, took up a pen and wrote the letter, and asked about Yetong's situation at the beginning of the letter. But after writing a few sentences, he smiled wryly and tore up the letter paper. Because I sent a letter just now, but writing it now is too obvious, and it is easy for someone who is interested to see the clue.
However, the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, so regardless of his injuries, he silently practiced his mind and calculated the secrets. But with such obvious signs of uneasiness, the results of the three thousand floating leaves' deduction of the secrets are blurred, with no direction at all.
This is the Void Floating Land, and the two camps are fighting fiercely on the ground and in the void. And behind the invisible scenes, the strong men on both sides who are good at deducing the secrets are also fighting in the air, fighting to the death on the invisible battlefield. At this moment, the floating land is up and down, inside and outside the void, everywhere is chaotic. Even if Lin Xitang took action himself, if he hadn't made serious preparations, the result might not have been achieved, let alone Song Zining who was seriously injured at the moment
Another consequence is that on the floating land, the strong's instinctive perception of danger is greatly weakened.
Song Zining took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and reorganized his thoughts. After thinking about it, I didn't find out what was wrong. He also understands that if he cares, he will be chaotic and lose his sense of control. But because he knew how important Yetong was in Qianye's heart, and how sensitive her identity was, Song Zining lost his usual composure.
The hull of the battleship shook, the roar of the engine continued to grow, and it began to slow down slowly. Song Zining knew that he had reached his destination, so he calmed down, tidied up his appearance, and then calmly stepped out of the cabin. No matter when and where, Qi Shao must be perfect in front of everyone.
The battleship slowed down, and Qianye also felt it, so he walked out of the cabin.
The warship stopped at a relay base outside the territory of the Zhao Clan, where the wounded on board were put down, and then they carried supplementary soldiers and supplies, and then returned to the fortress to assist in the defense.
As soon as Qianye stepped off the battleship, he saw a busy scene in front of him. Teams of soldiers are lining up neatly, walking towards the battleship, and more soldiers are lining up in the distance, waiting for the arrival of the next battleship. At the edge of the takeoff and landing area, materials were piled up like a mountain, and more than a dozen trucks were shuttling back and forth. Some urgent materials were too late to be shipped, so they were simply carried by senior officers and carried onto the battleship.
A special person had come over a long time ago and led Qianye to the rear to rest and check his body. According to Zhao Clan's official records, Qianye was seriously injured. But in fact, Qianye's injuries are mostly healed at this moment, it's just that his blood energy and origin force are severely lacking.
Therefore, Qianye refused to go to the hospital for an examination, but asked for a practice room to restore the original force.
The officer agreed, and immediately rushed to make arrangements. At this moment, an off-road vehicle roared past, and Zhao Yuying and Song Zining waved to Qianye. The two of them are different from Qianye, they need to lie down in the hospital for a day or two.
At this moment, Zhao Yuying's breath was weak, her face was pale, and the weakness that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out in full force. Most of the blood and almost all of the original force were lost in one breath, even with her strength, she couldn't bear it.
Qianye seemed to be hit by something in his heart, and when he thought about it and waved his hand, the off-road vehicle had already gone away.
The soldiers of the Zhao faction acted swiftly and resolutely, and within half an hour, the training room was ready.
Qianye walked through half of the base with the leading officer and came to the training area. Just as he stepped into the gate, suddenly a messenger rushed over, saluted Qianye, and hurriedly said: "General Qianye, the frontline fortress Fallen! General Zhao Junfang, please go there immediately and discuss countermeasures together!"
Qianye was taken aback immediately, and could hardly believe his ears: "The fortress is lost? The last fortress?"
"It's the last stronghold."
Qianye couldn't believe it, and shouted: "Impossible! How much time is this?"
It has only been three hours since they evacuated from the second fortress. They left by battleship, while the dark army was on the ground. It would take more than an hour just to go on the road, that is to say, even if the army of darkness continued on their way without a break, the third-tier fortress could only be defended for a little over an hour.
Facing Qianye's doubts, the messenger said with certainty: "The information is correct! Please join the military discussion immediately!"
Qianye immediately followed the messenger to the main building of the base, but on the way, he felt more and more doubts.
Regardless of other factors, Qianye is well aware of himself, and he also knows exactly what kind of results he has achieved in the first two fortress defense battles. He didn't hold back, let go and killed, and killed more high-ranking powerhouses and high-level fighters of the dark race than all other people combined. It can be said bluntly that Qianye alone has more than doubled the casualties of the dark army.
With such a heavy casualty, even the army under the Duke's command will suffer severe injuries. It is absolutely impossible to say that the strength of the army of darkness has not declined. On the other hand, Zhao Clan has the strongest guards in the third-tier fortress. The strength of the guards has increased, and the combat power of the dark army is weaker than expected. It stands to reason that there should be no problem in defending the third-tier fortress for a day. Why has it fallen in just an hour now
In such a short period of time, the Zhang faction's army had no time to distance themselves and was still in a dangerous situation.
Arriving at the military meeting room of the main building of the fortress, Qianye saw that Zhao Yuying and Song Zining had arrived, as well as several imperial generals. The one in the middle was a lieutenant general with pale temples, and Qianye recognized Zhao Junfang, the chief general of the base. Zhao Junfang came from the Cangwolf Legion, and had assisted Zhao Weihuang for many years. He was Cheng Engong's right-hand man, and he was well-known among the mighty Cangwolf Legion, so he was sent to preside over this strategic location.
At this moment, he was reading the battle report in his hand, his face was livid, and after a while, he slammed the battle report on the table and said angrily: "Young man with a yellow mouth, you can only talk about wars on paper, and ruin my Zhao Clan's great affairs!"
