Monarch of Evernight: The Battle of the 136 Tiankeng

bsp;The dark race did not give the empire much time to prepare. In less than three days, several armies marched to the Black Sun Valley, attacked in separate groups, and headed straight for the sinkhole.

The tiankeng itself is tens of thousands of meters in diameter, and the surrounding black volcanoes are hundreds of miles in diameter. The area is as large as a large province in the empire.

The hundreds of thousands of troops scattered in this area are nothing more than a small splash. The imperial troops did not leave the Tiankeng, but were stationed on the spot. Song Zining made it clear that he would use the Tiankeng as the battlefield for a decisive battle with the dark race.

The dark race has its own reasons. Although the black fire in the sinkhole is raging now and it is not yet passable, even the supreme beings cannot tell when the black fire will extinguish. Therefore, let the human race stay in the sky. One more day at the pit means one more day of risk.

This area is so vast that neither the Empire nor Evernight can block the other party's movements. Even if there are only a few passages near the sinkhole, there are many passages in and out of the outer edge. The black fire in the mountainous area is also changing from time to time. No one knows when the black fire will erupt from the cracks in the ground and block the passage, so the battlefield changes greatly.

At this moment, Zhao Jundu and Song Zining were standing on the top of a mountain, with the majestic black fire burning behind them. However, Zhao Jundu was surrounded by green and black force, and he actually used this force to cast an eight-way blockade, suppressing Don't get close to the black fire.

Under the burning of the black fire, Zhao Jundu's green and black force was consumed extremely slowly. It seemed that it would not be a problem to sustain it for a day and a night.

Song Zining looked much more relaxed standing within the area of ​​​​the Bafang Blockade.

He looked at Zhao Jundu and said: "Your force power is really weird, you can actually withstand the burning of black fire. If it were me, I would probably last for two or three hours at most."

"My Force was developed in the new world, so my resistance is stronger, which is normal."

"This...can be considered a reason."

Song Zining looked into the distance. Just over ten kilometers away, a group of dark race warriors were lining up and heading towards the sinkhole. The queue was long and it looked like there were at least 10,000 people. Regardless of the force aura or equipment, it is shown that the elite level of this army is not inferior to that of the Imperial Red Scorpions and Broken Wing Angels.

Although they were not far apart, Zhao and Song stood in front of Black Fire without any fear of being exposed. Black fire has a strong suppression on perception. Although it has no light, it is extremely blazing. Just looking at it will make you feel more uncomfortable than looking directly at the sun. And if your perception sweeps across it, you will be burned by the black fire. Only by forcibly blocking it with the force like Zhao Jundu can we be safe.

Song Zining frowned slightly, obviously feeling that this army was difficult to deal with. Zhao Jundu suddenly said: "We have seen at least three such troops, right?"

Song Zining nodded, "This is the fourth branch. If you include the ordinary troops, the dark race has already assembled... 300,000 warriors?"

This number surprised Song Zining himself. However, he immediately relaxed his eyebrows and said: "That's fine, it's all military exploits."

Zhao Jundu said: "Don't be too careless. Are you really sure you can deal with so many dark races?"

"Fight slowly, you have to wear them out. You don't even believe me, do you?"

Zhao Jundu frowned, "Give me a reason."

Song Zining spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, the reason is that even if I stand here, I can still use Tianji Technique. It's just that the results are blurry and the consumption is very high."

Zhao Jundu was surprised, thought for a moment, took out a handful of chips and threw them on the ground.

"So you know how to use the magic of heaven..." Before Song Zining could finish his teasing, he saw those calculations that had landed on the ground suddenly burned and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. Zhao Jundu groaned and turned pale.

Song Zining said: "Seeing that you are still so cautious, I believe that you will not go crazy for a while."

Zhao Jundu said: "But I think you are crazy now."

Song Zining sighed and said, "Is three hundred thousand a lot?"

"It's not a big deal if it can be sent here." Zhao Jundu's words make sense. Those who can fight in the Black Sun Valley are the best of the best. So far, the empire has only sent in 150,000 people. And the reinforcements from the dark race are still coming in a steady stream.

"According to my estimate, there will be at least 300,000 more."

"Why are there so many?"

"Don't forget, there are still three continents for werewolves."

"Aren't werewolves excluded from the new world?"

"That was before Hierro died in the battle. After Hierro was lured out by me and killed by King Qingyang, it is estimated that there have been differences within the dark race. The best solution is to force the werewolves to give up the power of the new world. share, we can send in more troops. I think it won’t be long before we see the werewolf troops appear.”

"If I were the leader of the werewolves, I would never send elite troops over at this time." Zhao Jundu said.

"A warrior who can enter the Black Sun Valley is no worse than a warrior."

Zhao Jundu nodded slowly.

"What, are you scared?"

Zhao Jundu said calmly: "I'm afraid that the empire won't be able to reward you with too many military achievements."

Song Zining laughed and said, "Then, wouldn't it be enough to add two more provinces to your family?"

No matter how broad-minded Zhao Jundu is, no matter how deep the city is, he can't help but change his color slightly. Song Zining's proposal had honestly crossed an unwritten red line in the past. In the past, no matter how prosperous aristocratic families were, their territory would never exceed five provinces. Nowadays, the Zhang clan is at its peak, but it only has four provinces. The fourth province is still separated from the ancestral land and is being developed.

And the Zhao clan is sitting on Youyan, and the third province has actually been defeated, but the name has not been corrected because the rebels have not been eliminated. In fact, the Zhao family was already secretly planning the fourth province. This was originally a tailor-made plan for Zhao Jundu, but it was only delayed when the New World War broke out and Zhao Jundu was injured again.

But now, Zhao Jundu is practicing fire-refining real gold. He was not favored by others at first, but he is becoming more and more impressive. At least he has reached a state that no one before him has reached. Seeing that his force power had turned pure black and the explosion was right in front of him, people within the Zhao clan began to mention this plan again.

Using Qianye as a bargaining chip to exchange for the title of hereditary Duke Rong is a key part of it.

Since the Battle of the New World, Zhao Jundu and Song Zining have accumulated countless merits. If they defeat the dark race in the battle of the Gate of the New World, the merits will be so great that the rewards for both provinces will be small.

The empire has always given the most generous rewards for military merit and the most uncompromising rewards. This is the foundation of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, so adding two more provinces to the Zhao clan must be implemented even if it breaks the ancestral customs.

Zhao Jundu had never thought of this section before, and after hearing it, he couldn't help but be moved. After all, he grew up in a wealthy family since he was a child, and the concept of family status and territory has been deeply rooted in his bones. No matter how he has no desires or desires, he will blush when he hears the word territory. Land means the space for tribesmen to survive and reproduce.

Song Zining was actually the same. He looked at Zhao Jundu with some envy and said, "It's better for you. At least you have a family foundation. No matter what I do, I can only get one province, and the rest are all empty."

"A prince is not fake."

Song Zining hurriedly said: "Forget it."

"Empress Li will arrange it for you." Zhao Jundu said meaningfully.

Song Zining shuddered, "Don't!"

"You seem to be particularly afraid of her?"

"How is that possible?"

"You didn't do something bad, did you?" Zhao Jundu's eyes were particularly sharp.

"It's all good for the Li family, how can I feel bad about it?"

"If it's good for the Li family, then it's bad for other families?"

Song Zining looked around and talked about him, but Zhao Jundu held on to the topic. Song Zining had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "What can I do if I don't do things for Empress Li? Can you help the noble concubine of your Zhao family?"

Zhao Jundu was speechless. Compared with Empress Li, the noble concubine of the Zhao family is absolutely useless in terms of appearance and methods. The older generation had a temper back then, and the consequences have continued to this day.

Especially because there are rumors that she had provoked Lin Dazai in front of the emperor that day, and somehow she also got involved with King Qingyang, so now even King Qingyang has a bad look on his face when he sees the Dukes of Zhao Clan. No one has the courage and ability to offend others, and this has become a reason for others to criticize Zhao Clan for being arrogant.

"If you don't say this, go back and prepare for the war. I have a hunch that this battle may not be easy to fight."

Zhao Jundu said: "The dark race has suffered so much at our hands, so we have to think of some countermeasures. The victims sent over have probably been selected, and we will be in a dilemma whether to eat them or not."

"Indeed."

The two left the peak to join their troops and prepare for the next battle.

The decisive battle started outside the gate of the inner world. To the surprise of the dark race, Song Zining and Zhao Jundu separated again.

The empire set up a fortress at the gateway to the other world. With the advantage of the favorable terrain, it actually wanted to fight a head-on offensive and defensive battle with the dark race. Song Zining, on the other hand, led the mobile troops to wander around the periphery with unknown whereabouts, making the dark race always worry about their rear and supply lines.

Dividing troops is a taboo, especially when the imperial military is still weaker than its opponents. The commander of the dark race's front line thought that the human race had finally made a mistake and immediately launched a fierce attack.

However, under the empire's rather crude fortress, the dark race army encountered incredibly strong resistance. Zhao Jundu personally stood at the top of the city and fought **** battles side by side with the imperial soldiers. The black force was like a tornado, sucking in the strong men of the dark race and then crushing them to pieces.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jundu was covered with wounds under the siege of the dark race. But this time, in the black force, the minced flesh and blood of the dark race strongman actually separated the essence, which was absorbed by Zhao Jundu's wounds. As a result, the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

How to fight such an opponent? The weird black force made even the spider demons and demons feel evil. And Zhao Jundu's recovery speed at this moment is even faster than the blood boiling speed of the blood clan.

In this way, the casualties of the dark race army frightened the commanders at the rear. However, seeing the Imperial soldiers falling in rows on the city wall, the commander gritted his teeth and persisted.

Even if the casualties far exceed those of his opponents, his military strength far exceeds that of the human defenders. If this continues, the human race will be the first to collapse, and in the final analysis, his losses may not be much greater than those of the human race.

At this moment, murderous intent suddenly rose from behind the battle formation, and Song Zining led an army to appear behind the dark race. The troops deployed by the commander on guard at the rear were completely wiped out without even sending back a warning signal.

Under attacks from both front and rear, the 100,000-strong army of the dark race was defeated, with less than half of them escaping back.

When the same battle happened again, the dark race finally discovered the problem. How did Song Zining eat tens of thousands of rearguard troops without letting a single person escape.

Before this problem was solved, the dark race did not want to attack the city again. However, the empire actually shipped a large number of construction machinery and began to build a construction site next to the sinkhole leading to the other world, posing as a hands-on research posture.
