Fire escape
The third elder of the Kong family didn't even have time to scold Song Zining for his shamelessness, and hurriedly directed the flagship to avoid the next round of blows. Although his flag was slightly larger than Song Zining's warship, it had already been severely damaged in the first round of attack, and after two rounds of bombardment, it would definitely crash.
As soon as the flagship moved, the following warships also moved accordingly, giving way to the channel leading to Heiliu City.
Song Zining didn't bother at all, and immediately led the fleet to rush towards Heiliu City, straight into the back of the siege fleet.
The third elder's hands were cold for a moment, and only then did he realize that Song Zining had no intention of negotiating at all, and that he wanted to annihilate his troops on this trip. According to the general rules of aristocratic families, since the heads of both sides have already come forward, they always have to exchange words to see if they can reach a conclusion, and direct use of force is really the next choice. However, Song Zining didn't follow the rules. He came up with a sneak attack, severely damaged the third elder's ship in one fell swoop, and eliminated the biggest threat.
This trip was mainly focused on the Kong family, which united several aristocratic families to piece together a coalition force. Although there were a large number of airships, most of them were old models, and some of them were even cargo ships. They were temporarily refitted and brought in for use. Although they knew that Dark Fire was quite elite, no matter how elite they were, they were still an expeditionary force. In the eyes of the aristocratic family, the expeditionary army is a miscellaneous brand, not even comparable to the local second-line troops, how can it be compared with the private army of the aristocratic family
But they never expected that Song Zining would appear suddenly, and there were several cutting-edge warships as soon as they made a move. Their miscellaneous fleet was far weaker in firepower, and now it was out of formation. In front of Song Zining, they were a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they couldn't even escape.
Originally, the only thing capable of suppressing Song Zining on the battlefield was the flagship of the Third Elder, but unfortunately it has lost its combat effectiveness now.
Fleet battle broke out in the sky above Heiliu City in an instant. The fleet led by Song Zining was like a wolf among sheep. The first round of fire knocked down three floating ships, causing chaos in an instant. Some of the opponent's airships want to fight back, some want to escape, and some are spinning in circles, not knowing where to go.
These warships belong to several families, and the smooth battles will not be affected. Once there is a problem, the disadvantages of the multi-manager will be revealed immediately. Everyone has their own ideas, and the scene is extremely chaotic for a while. It was also because Song Zining's attack was too fierce and fast, leaving no time for the opponent to react, and the third elder was isolated from the battlefield, unable to command.
As the battle situation in the air changed, the artillery fire on the ground suddenly changed again. A hidden heavy artillery fired violently, and orange-red special shells pierced the night sky and bombarded the airships flying randomly in the air. Basically, every two shells can hit one. This hit rate is extremely astonishing, and the power of the heavy artillery is equally terrifying. One hit can severely damage an ordinary airship, and two hits will undoubtedly destroy it.
In the blink of an eye, the battle situation was reversed, and the airships of the three elders suffered heavy damage in succession, and finally began to collapse. Song Zining also dispersed the warships, and started chasing and killing the fleeing airships. He personally led the ship and slowly approached the flagship of the third elder as a deterrent.
The third elder knew that the big event was over, and he hated it in his heart. He intends to step forward to fight, but seeing Song Zining standing with a spear in his hand without any fear, it is finally difficult to determine whether there are strong men hidden on Song Zining's ship in order to ambush him. After thinking about it, the third elder still couldn't muster up the courage to give it a go, so he could only groan angrily and order the troops to retreat.
As soon as the floating fleet retreated, the thousands of people who invaded Heiliu City were all abandoned. It was hard to say how much the troops from Wolf City could escape. In addition, the loss of more than half of the floating fleet made the Third Elder feel heartbroken. It's like a knife cut, the pain is too painful.
Seeing that the Third Elder's ship retreated, Song Zining did not pursue it. He did not order to return to Heiliu until he watched the Third Elder's flagship disappear into the sky.
Song Zining ordered the battleship to hover above the Dark Fire headquarters as a deterrent, while he jumped into the Dark Fire headquarters himself. At this time, Song Hu and Duan Hao came out to greet him, and a girl rushed out from the heavy artillery battery on the roof of the headquarters, and jumped in front of Song Zining.
Song Zining smiled and said, "I know it's you, who else can shoot such accurate artillery fire?"
The girl is Hei Yue from Gaohu, and she was a little shy when she was praised face to face, and said: "It's not all about me, the main reason is that the cannon modified by Sister Xiaoniao is powerful, other cannons are not so accurate, nor are they so far away. .”
Song Zining smiled and tapped her on the head with a folding fan, and said, "Let's go in and talk."
At this moment, the city of Heiliu is still full of flames of war. Some of the private troops who have nowhere to escape have surrendered, and some are still stubbornly resisting. However, Song Zining regarded these people as dead, ignored them, and calmly walked into the Dark Fire headquarters.
Song Hu followed beside him, and lowered his voice, "Seventh Young Master, many of those private soldiers have revealed their identities, some hope to be treated kindly, while others are rebellious and demand money to redeem themselves. Among them are a few middle-ranking families, How do you think it should be handled?"
Song Zining stood still, flicked the folding fan in his hand, and actually made a clear and distant voiceless sound. He asked: "In addition to the Kong family, there are so many middle-grade families here. It's really rare. Do you think we can be enemies with these families at the same time?"
"Of course not." Song Hu replied immediately. Right now Song Zining's power is still very weak, not to mention contending with a high-ranking family, even a random middle-ranking family would not be an opponent.
Song Zining smiled faintly, and said, "Since we know we can't be enemies, then we have never seen these people before, do you understand?"
Song Hu's expression froze, and he said, "Understood." After saying that, he turned and left.
After a while, Song Zining stood still in the command room and looked up at the city defense map, feeling different for a long time. The city defense map is full of marks, and the handwriting is in a hurry, which shows the mood of the painter at that time. Every X means that a stronghold or fort has been destroyed, and continuous smearing represents how long a section of the city wall has been destroyed. . Looking at this map of the city defense, I seem to see how fierce the battle was at that time. At this moment, there are still gunshots, explosions and dying screams in the city from time to time.
Song Zining sighed softly, looked at Duan Hao, and said, "You're panicking too. It seems that your xinxing hasn't improved much during this time."
Duan Hao blushed, and said in a low voice: "At that time, the battle was urgent. If Miss Nangong hadn't deployed several special heavy artillery, we might not have survived until your arrival."
Song Zining nodded, and asked, "Where's Little Bird, is she alright?"
"Miss Nangong also participated in the battle. She was slightly injured when the turret was bombarded. She is being treated now, but nothing serious."
"That's good. Where is Nanhua, take me there."
"Yes." Duan Hao led Song Zining out of the command room, all the way down to the third underground floor. This is the darkest prison with the strictest security. It goes deep underground. Even if Song Zining is imprisoned, he will never be able to escape.
"Did she resist?"
"No." Duan Hao said.
Song Zining was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's a pity."
Along the way, Song Zining didn't say much until he reached a solitary cell in the deepest part of the room. This cell is quite spacious, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when they get close. That's because the original force arrays arranged around dispel all the free original force, making it impossible for people to absorb or borrow the original force. After being locked up like this for a long time, the original force will gradually dissipate and lose the ability to resist.
In the middle of the cell, Nan Hua sat quietly, except for his hair hanging loose, there was no abnormality, and he was not tortured.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her head, her eyes lit up instantly, rushed to the fence, and said, "You're finally here."
Song Zining sighed again, motioning for Duan Hao to open the cell door. Duan Hao was slightly worried, and said: "Seventh Young Master, be careful." Then he gave Nan Hua a wary look, and then slowly backed away, leaving this floor.
Song Zining stood calmly in front of Nanhua, without any signs of defense. He just looked at her and asked, "Why didn't Duan Hao run away when he came to arrest you? He is not your opponent."
Nan Hua smiled sadly, and said: "I can escape Duan Hao, but I can't escape the killers you invite after me, right? Then when I die, you won't have to see me, right? I don't want that, I prefer Don't run away!"
Song Zining sighed and said, "Why bother? In that case, both of us will have a better life."
Nan Hua shook his head and said sadly: "No. I can't live well, so I don't want you to live well either. I just want to die in front of you, and I want you to kill me yourself. In this way, no matter how many women you have in the future, you Never forget me."
Song Zining was silent for a long time, and then said: "Among all my women, you know me best. Maybe there won't be another one in the future. With your intelligence, you should know that I am already a little bit tempted. Why do you still want to do this?"
Nan Hua gritted his teeth and said: "You are only tempted, and you will at most put a little heart on me in the future. What I want is a complete heart! If not, I would rather not!"
Song Zining shook his head, "No one can take all of me."
"No, there are people. Yetong is fine."
Song Zining was stunned, then smiled and said: "Yetong is Qianye's lover, Qianye and I are friends who share life and death together, I can risk my life to save Yetong, but it is for Qianye, and I will never do it to you." She has something else on her mind. If she doesn't have it, she doesn't need to say more."
"It doesn't have to be Yetong, but at least it has to be someone comparable to her. Your eyes are higher than the top, and only a unique woman can make you truly fall in love with. But no matter who it is, it won't be me!"
Song Zining sighed again, acquiescing to Nanhua's words.
Nanhua walked up to Song Zining, and said softly, "Hold me, and then kill me."
Song Zining's hand trembled slightly, but there was no response.
Nan Hua raised his head, looked at Song Zining, and said softly, "This is my last request."
"Maybe… "
Nan Hua gently covered Song Zining's mouth, and said, "No possibility. I caused Ye Tong's soul to be torn apart, Qian Ye exposed his identity, and escaped from the empire. I can't even see your face. Let's do it!"
Song Zining slowly stretched out his hand, hugged Nan Hua, and gently stroked her long hair. Suddenly there was a cold light in his trembling hand, it was a bone of the folding fan. Then, he patted Nan Hua lightly on the back, and the cold light entered her body, piercing her heart.
Nanhua's whole body trembled, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he stretched out, smiled sweetly, and said, "Your hands are shaking, so it hurts a little. But your hands are shaking too, I'm... so happy!"
Song Zining couldn't say a word, but hugged Nanhua tightly.
"If... your heart wasn't so high, and I... wasn't so greedy, it would be great..." Nan Hua's voice became softer and softer, and he laid his head on Song Zining's shoulder, as if falling into a deep sleep.
