The light dimmed and night came.
The army was camped on the plain, and the ground was densely packed with tents of different colors and shapes. The scene was extremely spectacular.
Pang Tong came out of the commander-in-chief's tent and happened to meet Qin Taimei. He bowed politely and said hello, "Hello, Madam Qin, the commander-in-chief is inside."
It seemed that the title "Mrs. Qian" made Qian Taimei happy. She smiled at Pang Tong and said, "Hello, Mr. Pang, I'll go in then."
The two passed each other, one leaving and the other entering.
In the big tent, Xia Lei was looking at a hand-drawn formation diagram given to him by Pang Tong, looking very attentive. It has to be said that Pang Tong is a rare military genius, and he has a place to use in this kind of war that mainly uses cold weapons. As far as the formation map Pang Tong gave him, there were detailed instructions on where the cavalry should be placed, where the infantry should be placed, how the entire army should cooperate once the war started, etc., which was very particular.
The wars that Xia Lei was familiar with were thermal weapons wars. Whoever had advanced weapons would have an advantage and be more likely to win. But this kind of cold weapon war similar to ancient times is different. There are too many factors to consider.
"Husband, I've brought you delicious food." Yu Taimei broke the silence in the tent.
Xia Lei put down the battle map and said with a smile: "Why have I become your husband again?"
Qin Taimei put the basket she brought on the table and said matter-of-factly, "Didn't you hear just now? Pang Tong called me Mrs. Qin."
Xia Lei said: "That's because people respect you."
Yu Taimei said: "That's because I am your woman, otherwise why would he respect me."
This is unclear.
Xia Lei had promised to accept her but would not give her a status for the time being, but now she has begun to regard herself as his wife. There is no problem here, but there will be problems in the City of the Sun.
Qin Taimei seemed to have read through Xia Lei's thoughts, "Don't worry, I will just have fun here. When I return to the City of the Sun, I will hide it well and prevent your six wives from finding out. Is that okay?"
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but don't mention the City of the Sun here."
Qin Taimei nodded, and then took out the "delicious food" she brought for Xia Lei from the basket. A piece of fragrant barbecue, a few exquisite pastries, and a rare bottle of fruit wine brewed by tree people. As soon as the wine bottle was opened, the alluring aroma of wine filled the tent.
Xia Lei doesn't need to eat, but he has people deliver food to the tent every day. With an army of two million, it was impossible that there would be no intelligence agents from the Dark Cult and the Empire. It was also impossible for him to capture everyone's brainwaves and find out the hidden spies and intelligence agents, so the role of impersonating Ye Kui still had to be performed when it was time to do so. He usually wouldn't eat the food that was brought to him, but the barbecue brought by Yu Taimei looked very good, with good color, smell and taste. Coupled with the bottle of lazy tree fruit wine, he whetted his appetite and was ready to eat. a little.
Yu Taimei also drank a little wine, and there was a hint of gray-black halo on her cheeks. Although they are accustomed to the red halo of human women, the gray-black halo of Night Watch women is actually very beautiful, because their skin is almost transparent, and the halo emerging from their faces looks like ink paintings on rice paper. , don't have an artistic atmosphere.
The halo on Taimei's cheeks looked like a cloud, an erratic cloud.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Taimei became even more shy and lowered her head slightly, avoiding Xia Lei's sight.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "I see you, do you still need to ask?"
"Then am I beautiful?" She complained in a small voice.
Xia Lei said: "You are beautiful."
"What about me and the fire phoenix?" Qin Taimei asked.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Of course the fire phoenix is more beautiful."
"I knew you would say that, hum!" Qin Taimei made a pink fist and hit Xia Lei on the chest.
Xia Lei laughed out loud. He really wanted Huofeng to be here, but Huofeng could not appear among the civilian resistance forces, because once she came, the Black Sun Emperor would also come, and would bring all his powerful men to rob people. This was different from his The strategies are contradictory. Therefore, although he really wanted her to be by his side, he still wanted her to stay in the City of the Sun.
"But I am self-aware. Huofeng is indeed prettier than me." She blamed Taimei and hit Xia Lei twice before stopping. "I will not compete with her to be jealous. I am content to be by your side. Ah, every time I can’t help but be happy and proud thinking that I am a woman of God.”
A trace of sadness suddenly appeared in Xia Lei's heart. Looking at the smiling Yu Taimei, he secretly said in his heart: "All this will be over soon. Where will she and the six wives in Sun City go? I must To leave the dark world of death, can they follow me to the opposite universe?"
As the end of that mission approached, he couldn't help but think about this issue, and his heart was filled with worry. Whether his seven wives can return to the earth world or the Star of Hope world with him, he actually has an answer in his heart, that is, no. When he first came to the dark world of death, he was suppressed everywhere and would be suppressed by dark energy at every turn. They went to the opposite universe. As opposite life forms, they would definitely be suppressed by the opposite universe, and he simply couldn't count on their little evolution to be able to resist.
No, then wouldn’t the upcoming separation become a farewell
"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Yu Taimei blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei put away his thoughts. He grabbed Yu Taimei's catkin and said with a smile, "It's nothing."
Qin Taimei suddenly came over and said, "I miss you so much."
This sentence contains so much.
Perhaps it was because of the worries about farewell and the guilt that followed, that Xia Lei let her go...
crucial moment.
"Report!" A voice came from outside the big tent, anxious and nervous.
Xia Lei and Qian Taimei both froze, their postures strange.
"Commander-in-Chief?" the voice outside the tent said, "a patrol..."
Xia Lei got up, "What's wrong?"
"Killed." The voice outside the tent said, "I'm afraid the enemy has made some moves. The generals are waiting for you at the scene."
"I'll be there right away. Just wait." Xia Lei tidied his clothes.
Two black gem-like tears fell from the corners of Yu Taimei's eyes, "Why? Why? Why..."
Yes, this happens at every critical moment. Why
Xia Lei leaned close to Qian Taimei's ear and said, "The days are long... just stay here and don't move around. The prey has taken the bait. I have to go hunting."
Yu Taimei put away her thoughts this time, but when she just opened her mouth to say something, Xia Lei suddenly covered her mouth. She reacted immediately and nodded obediently.
Xia Lei left the tent.
There were several guards standing outside the big tent, as well as a low-level officer whom I had never seen before. The man looked anxious and nervous.
Xia Lei just glanced at him, "Where did it happen?"
The officer pointed in the direction of Doomsday City, "In a forest ahead, not far away, right next to our camp."
Xia Lei said: "Take me there."
"Yes!" the officer replied immediately, and then went to lead his ghost horse. He came on horseback.
Xia Lei's guards also brought his skeleton ghost horse over, as well as their own ghost horse.
Xia Lei said: "Don't use my horse. It is too eye-catching and can easily become a target. Give me an ordinary ghost horse instead."
A guard gave his ghost horse to Xia Lei.
Xia Lei got on the ghost horse and said: "Since we are next to the camp, you guys don't have to follow us. You stay here and protect my wife. I will be back soon. Damn it, you are sleeping so well but you are like this It’s really annoying.”
A guard reminded: "Commander-in-Chief, it will be dangerous for you to go alone. Do you want to inform Medesa and Long?"
Xia Lei said: "No, I, Ye Kui, am the kind of person who needs protection at all times? Stand still for me. If something goes wrong, I want your heads!"
"Yes!" Several guards stood at attention and saluted, not daring to say anything more.
Xia Lei urged again: "What are you still doing? Take me over and have a look!"
"Okay, Commander-in-Chief, please come with me." The officer pinched the ghost horse's belly, and the ghost horse rushed out with all its strength.
Xia Lei followed on a ghost horse.
At the same time, Baimao City opened the city gate. Imperial soldiers poured out of the city gate like a tide, and then quickly gathered on the plain in front of the city gate.
"That guy never dreamed that we would attack his camp tonight, right? He's just a coward and wants to be the Ghost King? Damn! I will cut off his head with my own hands!" Bai Hu, the lord of Baimao City, was alone among a group of imperial generals. Awkward chat.
A trace of disgust flashed in Xitu's eyes, but there was nothing he could do. This guy has to follow him life and death, and he has to take the lead with his city defense troops. He would definitely not refuse such free cannon fodder.
A cavalry general rode over and said, "Report to the legion commander that the cavalry has been assembled."
Corpse Butcher said: "You go to the left wing of the rebel camp."
An officer got off a tank and came to Zitu, "Report to the commander of the army that the artillery has been assembled."
Corpse Butcher said: "You go to the right wing of the rebel camp."
One order after another was issued.
Millions of troops poured out from different city gates and then marched quickly to different predetermined positions. Although millions of troops were moving, the whole scene seemed very quiet, like an undercurrent.
Corpse Tu looked towards the direction of the resistance camp, with a cold smile on his lips, "Ye Kui, tonight is the end of you."
Another place.
Under the leadership of the officer, Xia Lei left the camp and came to a forest. He had seen dozens of corpses and a group of officers standing at the scene of the incident.
"That's right there," said the officer leading the way.
Xia Lei looked back at the military camp not far away, which was brightly lit. There were resistance soldiers singing, and the singing was very clear floating in the night wind.
"Commander-in-Chief?" said the officer leading the way: "There will be no problem. We have searched this place and found no enemies. Besides, there are many officers there."
Xia Lei said: "Nonsense, am I a coward? Lead the way!"
