Monarch of Evernight: 138 retreat
bsp;Song Zining's record was brilliant, and he killed many dark viscounts in several battles. However, such a record is not normal. Yongye is not an upper continent, so attacking cities and plundering territory is of little significance. Why would a small city with poor resources such as Heiliu attract such a large army to press against the border.
The intention of the dark race side is easy to understand. Luther’s tactic of water grinding is obviously to capture the general who defends the city alive, because on the battlefield, there is no absolute advantage. It is better to capture a general than to kill him. Much harder. In the eyes of those in the Yongye camp, all powerful people are nothing but cannon fodder, and no matter how many times the cannon fodder dies, they won't feel bad.
The most talked about thing about Song Zining's recent battle was his personal guard, which was composed entirely of women, but its combat power was no less than that of the generals' guards of the main army of the empire. However, behind such glamorous rumors, Qianye saw an extremely dangerous situation, which meant that under the continuous offensive, Song Zining's trump cards were being turned over one by one.
Now Luther is receiving a steady stream of reinforcements. After successive battles, instead of reducing the number of troops, they are increasing in number. On the contrary, even though Song Zining displayed his great power and killed several dark warriors, he could not get any reinforcements or supplements. As a result, the number of supplies and soldiers in Black Current City would inevitably decrease. After a while, even if he uses his troops like a god, he will not be able to escape defeat.
When Qianye saw this, he was not only angry but also surprised. In this **** battle, Heiliu City, as the important front line of Sanhe County, was not defeated in one fell swoop but fell into a stalemate, so it should not be without reinforcements.
Not to mention the distance, there are still several divisions of the expeditionary force in Sanhe County. It is impossible for them not to know what the consequences will be if Blackstream City falls. Otherwise, they would not have taken the initiative to send a fully-staffed battalion before the war started. Now that the situation in Blackstream City is critical, why are they standing still?
Most of the divisions of the expeditionary force are local snakes. They may have low combat effectiveness, but they are not fools. It is impossible not to understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. What's more, Song Zining's combat power is so strong. As long as there are reinforcements, the dark army will have to weigh the consequences of being attacked from both sides. It is impossible to calmly besiege the city for more than ten days.
Take a step back and say that the Song clan also has a team that has entered the Iron Curtain. It is impossible to ignore this situation. Song Zining is at least nominally the second heir to the family. If he is captured by the dark race, the Song clan will not care about his face. Everyone will lose everything.
However, Blackstream City has no reinforcements.
The apprentice brought a large tactical backpack, and the middle-aged man put it at Qianye's feet and said: "This is the best wilderness survival suit. The supplies, ammunition and tools are all in it. You still have credit left. , What else do you want to change? ”
Qianye raised his head from the paper in his hand, "I want to inquire about more in-depth content of this news."
The middle-aged man leaned over and took a look, his expression slightly changed.
"The remaining quota belongs to you." Qianye said, "I want to know why there are no reinforcements in Black Current City?"
The middle-aged man quickly made a mark on the exchange record next to him and said with a smile: "This news has spread widely in private. In fact, you can find out by asking over there. But this thing cannot be returned to you. "The remaining quota is still worth a lot of money, which is really a windfall.
Next, the middle-aged man briefly told Qianye the information he knew, and also gave some personal judgments.
It turns out that a main division of Nangong's private army has arrived not far from Heiliu City, and has completely blocked the access to Heiliu City, and even made it clear that anyone who dares to aid Heiliu is an enemy of the Nangong family.
Under the threat of the Nangong family, all the divisions of the expeditionary army stood still. In fact, even if they move, it will be useless. With one main division of the Nangong family and several strong men, the expeditionary army cannot defeat even three or five divisions together, not to mention that there is an old monster named Nangong Yuanwang sitting in charge.
Although under the Iron Curtain, Nangong Yuanwang, who was not far from the **** general, could not take action, but his reputation had been there for many years, and no one dared to stroke the tiger's beard. Even if the generals from the expeditionary force headquarters came in person, We need to weigh the situation.
After hearing the news, Qianye seemed neither surprised nor happy, but his heart beat slowly.
Plop!
Everyone in the hotel heard the sound like the ancient war drums. For a moment, their hearts felt like a huge stone, and their breathing stopped for a beat.
With a bang, the wine glass in a hunter's hand suddenly exploded, and the wine splashed all over him, but he just sat there as if he was stupid, motionless. There was deathly silence in the Hunter's House for an instant.
Qianye took a breath to calm the pulsation of his blood core, and then the invisible pressure that enveloped the small hotel slowly dissipated. Although all the hunters regained their mobility, no one dared to move, only their hands were shaking uncontrollably.
It was Qianye's voice that broke the silence: "If the Nangong family acted like this, wouldn't the Song family react?"
"Song Clan?" The middle-aged man recovered the fastest, and showed a disdainful expression when he heard this, "Those weaklings only know how to hire people like us to form a team and go to the battlefield to earn military merit for them. This ranking list The first one is not done at the cost of life. The Nangong family has not done this for a day or two, and there is no sign of any reaction from the Song clan."
Speaking of this, a hunter next to him couldn't help but interjected: "In all these years, the Song clan has never heard of any extraordinary person, so this seventh young master is a hero. As a result, the seventh young master is here Heiliu City fought hard and was cut off by the Nangong Family, but the Song Clan didn't even give a damn. Is this worthy of being called the Four Clan?"
Another hunter also said: "That's right! I heard that not long after this seventh young master became a general, he killed several viscounts on the opposite side. If this takes time, he must be a general/general after all, right? ”
The hunters immediately talked to each other, talking more and more enthusiastically, and did not hide their disdain for the Song clan.
Qianye listened silently for a while, then put a few pieces of paper in his hand on the counter, thanked the middle-aged man, picked up his tactical backpack and walked outside.
He put down the paper very gently, as if he were touching the most delicate flower for fear of damaging it. Several keen hunters had been paying attention to his movements and immediately stopped talking, their eyes full of doubts.
Qianye had already opened the door and left. A gust of wind penetrated through the door that had not yet been closed. It was so chilly in the hall that everyone shivered. When the counter was blown by the wind, it suddenly turned into countless fine particles of dust and was annihilated. And those pieces of paper fluttered in the dust and slowly fell to the ground.
There was a sudden silence in the hotel, and large amounts of cold sweat poured out from the foreheads of the hunters.
"Why did such a fierce man come to our small place?" A hunter forced a smile.
The middle-aged man had seen the opportunity and snatched out his account book. At this time, his eyes were complicated and he said softly: "It seems that the Nangong family is going to be in trouble."
Beside the gate of Tianhe County City, there is a three-story building with people flowing in and out, making it very lively. Most people who want to take an aerospace boat to other places must buy tickets and register here.
Qianye walked quickly in the crowd, and with a little effort, he pushed the crowd apart to make way for a passage. Some impatient people wanted to yell and curse, but when they saw Qianye's not strong figure, a chill suddenly rose in his heart and he swallowed back all the curse words that came to his mouth.
Qianye quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd, raised his head and glanced at a row of counters, and saw an empty small table at the far end, with several small aerostats marked on it. He walked over, knocked on the counter, and said, "I want an aeroboat. Let's set off immediately."
The thin man with a shrewd look behind the counter raised his eyebrows and said, "Charter a boat? That's not cheap! Where are you going?"
"Black Current City."
The thin man was immediately startled and said quickly: "I won't go! I won't go!"
Qianye frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"
"Not only is it under the Iron Curtain, it is now a war zone! Aren't you looking for death if you go there? Moreover, the Nangong family has issued a notice that any aerospace boat destined for Blackstream City must land at their station, otherwise after entering You might be attacked." The thin man spoke quickly and urgently.
"I'll add money."
The weight of these three words was different. The thin man's face suddenly became hesitant. He looked around with flashing eyes, then lowered his voice and asked: "How much more?"
"Three times."
"It's not enough. It needs to be at least seven times before anyone dares to go."
"Deal."
The thin man approached Qianye, quickly gave an address, and then said: "Go to this place at midnight tonight, bring enough money, and someone will make arrangements for you."
Qianye nodded and prepared to leave. At this time, a thin man squeezed out from the side, his whole body wrapped in a cloak, and asked quickly: "Is there an airship to Blackstream City?"
Qianye was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that someone would go to Heiliu at this time. But he didn't care and went out. He faintly heard the two people arguing behind him, and the sound became louder and louder.
Soon approaching midnight, Qianye walked towards the predetermined location. There is no one on the road. The further you go, the narrower the road becomes. The houses on both sides are gradually dilapidated. There are more and more sewage and garbage on the road. It has reached the edge of the urban slums. This kind of place has always been a mixed bag.
After two street intersections, the main road gradually turns into an alley. Qianye was walking when he suddenly stopped. A thin figure rushed out from the darkness next to him and stopped in front of him.
"Are you going to Blackstream City? Can you take me with you?"
Qianye frowned and asked, "Who are you? Besides, I won't go to Black Current City."
The man's whole body was wrapped in a thick cloak, but a section of his back protruded. It looked like he had a large spear hidden under the cloak. Hearing Qianye's refusal, the man suddenly became anxious and shouted: "I clearly heard that you wanted to charter a boat to Blackstream City!"
Qianye's face darkened, his eyes already filled with murderous intent, and he said lightly: "If you know too much about some things, you will die."
"No, I don't mean to find out your secrets! I just want to go to Blackstream City."
Qianye suddenly leaned back, and a flying knife passed in front of him with a strong wind, penetrating the wall of the house on the other side of the alley, and disappeared. This sword is so powerful that it can penetrate even the armor of the main army.
Qianye looked towards the direction of the flying knife, and saw several people walking out of the darkness, all with ferocious expressions. One of them said with a ferocious smile: "Boy, do you want to join in the fun in Black Current City?"
"Who are you?" Qianye's voice was cold.
