Marquis Bowang has a high position and authority, dominating a province. After withstood the pressure of the dark race's attack, the Wei family in the Far East has recovered, and the situation is getting better day by day. Therefore, even if he didn't invest much in the floating land battlefield, Bo Wanghou was among those who could keep secrets, knowing about the defense of the Unfalling City and the surrounding situation. Looking at the layout of the outer edge of this defense area map, he roughly judged the authenticity and which area it was in.
This defense zone map is of great significance and time is pressing. As for how it came about, it is not so important at this moment.
Bo Wanghou made a prompt decision and said, "You immediately follow me to the Zhao Clan's camp!"
At this moment, Duke You is still in charge of the overall situation. Zhao Xuanji was old and hot, after getting the map of the defense area, he knew that it was not too late, so he made up his mind on the spot, and immediately sent orders to several families. After a while, the troops in the Unfalling City began to be mobilized layer by layer, and the floating warships flew away.
Naturally, such a big movement cannot be hidden from anyone. Seeing that most of the people mobilized were the Zhao Clan's private army, many aristocratic families were surprised and couldn't help asking around, what happened to make the Zhao Clan so aggressive.
Until dawn, the battle report was sent back to the Unfallable City.
The Zhao Clan united with several good families to attack with all their strength, attacking a demon defense area in front of them. The Zhao faction mobilized almost all the resources that could be mobilized in this campaign, and it can be said that they came out in full force. Zhao Xuanji even borrowed an imperial squadron guarding outer space to cover it with firepower.
The battle went unexpectedly smooth, the Zhao Clan's army was in full swing, and hardly encountered much resistance along the way. Many important defense nodes were destroyed by the Empire Floating Fleet according to the marks on the defense zone map before they took effect. The battle situation developed to a later stage, the Demon-born Marquis who was in charge of this defense area went out to fight brazenly, but was flanked by Zhao Xuanji and Prince Rui. After a while, he was exhausted, and finally fled seriously injured.
After breaking through the defense zone, Duke You did not love to fight, but slowly withdrew his troops under the cover of the imperial fleet and retreated to the original defense zone.
The battle was fought so quickly and suddenly that the other defense zones of the two camps did not react. The coalition forces of the dark race were still staring at the defense area of the military headquarters and stormed, breaking through more than ten kilometers in the middle of the night, and the elite troops under Wu Daoyu's command began to be wiped out in an organized manner. Wu Daoyu's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, it was too late to ask the military for help, so he had to hold on to the end.
In the first battle, a defense area of the Marquis of Demons was cleared, and the results were astonishing. After this battle, the rumors about the Zhao Clan's passivity and doom and gloom were dispelled. And at critical times, Lord You can also mobilize the empire's outer space fleet, which also makes people think deeply.
It was another day before the news spread. It turned out that the key to victory in this battle was a defense zone map brought back by Wei Potian, the eldest son of the Wei family. In a blink of an eye, rumors of various versions were flying all over the sky. What Wei Shizi went deep alone and went straight to the Chinese army to snatch the defense area map; what Wei Potian sneaked thousands of miles and stole the defense area map from the Central Army. Such a variety, and so on.
Since Wei Potian made such great achievements, the next step is naturally the rewards from the Zhao Clan, the Imperial Army and even the imperial family. In the past few days, various awards ceremonies, large and small, and various banquets followed one after another, making Wei Potian dizzy, dragged into the next banquet before he woke up from a hangover, and didn't know where he was.
All of a sudden, Eldest Prince Wei was in the limelight, and even had the potential to overwhelm Zhao Jundu.
It's no wonder, that defense zone map is of great value, Zhao Xuanji not only wiped out all the troops of a marquis with it, but also lured out the opponent, causing serious damage in one fell swoop. Although the devil-born marquis escaped in the end, his injuries were so severe that he would not be able to recover even if he did not die when he returned. If he could cut off a powerful enemy once and for all.
Among the four major races, the demons tend to be more and more separated from the other three races in combat power later on. A marquis of demon descent, his combat power can at least be comparable to that of a werewolf nerubian. Moreover, high-level demons all have mysterious and unpredictable supernatural powers, which are extremely troublesome. No one wants to fight such an enemy. Therefore, for the entire floating land battlefield, killing a demon marquis is considered a major event.
In the end, Wei Potian was recorded as a marquis' military merit alone. For Prince Wei, this can be regarded as a golden pie that fell from the sky. Seriously speaking, he just ran around and picked up something back. At most, he was in a coma for a while, and he was kicked in the ass a few times by someone.
Without a doubt, all of this was arranged by Song Zining. So besides joy, Wei Potian also has hidden worries. He didn't think Song Zining would be so kind, there was probably some kind of trap behind a sweet date.
The empire has always rewarded military achievements the most. Because of Wei Potian's special status, the Wei family is also the target of various forces, so this time he received extra preferential treatment. What the military department records is pure military merit, that's all. The rewards from the emperor's family are several rare treasures, which can be used by Wei Potian to tailor a suit of armor. Moreover, these precious materials also have special bonuses to Qianzhong Mountain, obviously they were specially selected.
Zhao Clan's private reward was equally generous, and it turned out to be a small high-speed floating warship. Although it is only a basic model, it also made Wei Dashi very happy.
But what puzzled Wei Potian was that Song Zining hadn't appeared since that night, and he didn't know where he went.
Although this unexpected harvest was rich, Wei Potian did not lose his head. After thinking about it, he decided to return to the Far East to preside over the battle there. The battle situation in the Unfalling City is getting more and more weird. I don't know how many powerful forces are wrestling behind the scenes, and this place is no longer suitable for him. Moreover, the Wei family didn't have many interests here, and Qianye rebelled against the empire. For a while, Wei Potian felt rather disheartened, and just wanted to leave this place quickly.
Thousands of miles away from the City of Unfalling, there is a solitary peak, and Bai Kongzhao stands on the edge of the cliff, looking up at the endless starry sky, not knowing what he is thinking.
Bai Aotu climbed to the peak step by step, stood next to the girl, threw a backpack at her feet, and said, "Everything you want is here."
"Thanks."
Bai Bump was startled, then laughed at himself, and said, "It's been a long time, and this is the first time I've heard you say thank you. However, this word is indeed too pretentious. You still don't regard yourself as a member of the Bai family."
Bai Kongzhao sighed softly, and said, "I don't belong to anyone, not even to myself. I don't know what I live for, maybe I just want to live."
"Are you still leaving?"
The girl nodded and said, "I can't find the meaning of staying here."
"There are wars here, there are enough strong men, there are countless enemies, and there are even strong men you can't match now. Aren't these the reasons for you to stay? If you want to kill, the army of darkness will There are countless fighters around."
"No, it's not." The girl shook her head vigorously, with indescribable confusion in her eyes. "I suddenly felt that there was no point in killing. Those people... are no longer a threat to me. Killing them will not make me feel safer. Now, I don't know what I am going to do."
Bai Aotu stood silently for a moment, and said, "Do you have to leave? Is it because of Zhao Ruoxi?"
The girl shook her head: "No. Although she wants to kill me, she can kill me, but... I can't describe that feeling. I just feel that there is nothing for me to do here. It is the distant place that calls me."
"Where are you going, have you figured it out?"
"Neutral land." The girl answered without hesitation, and it seemed that she already had a secret plan.
"For Qianye? You still want to kill him?"
Bai Kongzhao's eyes showed confusion again, "He? Maybe, maybe not. I just think that I should go there and have a look."
"Neutral Land is indeed a good fit for you. Good luck, then."
The girl laughed at herself and said, "In your eyes, good luck shouldn't belong to people like me."
"It doesn't belong to me either." Bai Ou Convex said lightly.
The girl lifted her backpack, put it on her back, and waved: "Then I'm leaving."
Before jumping off the cliff, Bai Kongzhao turned his head and said, "Although I am not from the Bai family, I like the name Bai Kongzhao very much and will keep using it!"
She jumped off the cliff, fell straight down, and went away on the wilderness.
After a long time, Bai Aotu turned around and left quietly.
Life in the Neutral Land was unexpectedly peaceful. Apart from digging holes, Qianye's daily work was repairing houses. After the war, Dongyue was no longer useful, and honestly became a shovel for dredging and a saw blade for cutting trees.
In a few days, a rather decent home took shape. The courtyard wall has been completely completed, and there is an additional watchtower. In the courtyard, there are two big houses on each side, each with two floors. On the other side is the warehouse, only a small part is exposed on the ground, and the bulk is the underground ice cellar.
The old man has already built his own workshop, but what needs to be produced now are some daily tools and spare parts for those few old antique machines, which makes him feel quite useless.
Yetong and Zhu Ji went out hunting every day, exploring the surrounding environment by the way. The environment on the other side of the river is almost the same as this side, but less than ten kilometers away from the river, fog began to fill the air. Both Yetong and little Zhuji felt a faint sense of danger in the depths of the fog, so they obediently didn't go deep.
As night fell, the temperature dropped rapidly as the sky darkened. In the small courtyard, it was warm and harmonious, and the jumping fire light dispelled the growing chill.
In the dining room, several dishes had already been placed on the table, and the aroma was so strong that it could be seen that it was written by Qianye. At this time, the door opened and Yetong walked in. She shook the frost flowers on the cloak, saw the food on the table, cheered, ran to the table and sat down obediently.
Qianye came out of the kitchen, holding a large pot of soup in his hands, biting the spoon in his mouth, and put a plate on his head.
He put the soup bowl on the table, looked around, and asked, "Where's Zhu Ji?"
"She went to sea, but it's lunch time, so she should be back soon, right?" Yetong said.
"That's right, no matter how playful this little guy is, eating is the most important thing. Wait a little bit, he should be back." Qianye said with a smile.
The door was knocked open with a bang, and Zhu Ji rushed in, holding a lobster bigger than her body in both hands, and shouted happily: "Add vegetables, add vegetables!"
