Monarch of Evernight: 190 Accident
bsp;Yetong herself didn't know this, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care based on her temperament. She enjoyed these peaceful days, and her only uneasiness came from her concern for Qianye. But this kind of care and longing is the most charming part of life.
Hearing Nan Hua's compliment, Ye Tong just smiled and didn't take it to heart. Instead, he and Nan Hua chatted wordlessly.
Nan Hua was very lively in conversation, talking about everything in the world, and would giggle from time to time. She is obviously a lively girl, but she is naturally arrogant. In her eyes, a place like Blackstream City is worse than a frontier place. It is simply a barren land. The residents of the city, including the hunters and mercenaries who came here to make a living, were all untouchables in her eyes. It was only because of Song Zining that she would live here condescendingly. Now that she had Ye Tong with whom she could chat, she was able to talk happily.
While chatting, Nanhua suddenly said: "You know, not only Heiliu City, but also the entire county, I can like Zining, Qianye, and now you. Others. , there is no need to say a word to them!"
Yetong now also knows that Nanhua is the princess of a small border county. These counties were nominally dependent on the empire, but in fact they were similar to independent kingdoms. Most of these counties are located in the areas of the Four War, and the empire uses them as a barrier and a buffer against the dark races. Therefore, although the status is not respectable enough, in terms of strength, it is not lower than that of the imperial family. One can imagine how arrogant Nan Hua was when he was in the county. Being able to say this is the highest compliment that Nanhua can give others.
But Ye Tong just smiled after hearing this, that's all.
She used to have a high status among the vampires, second only to the Holy Son Edward among the new generation. And in terms of bloodline potential, it is not lower than Edward. Although it is recognized that the Queen of the Night is stronger than the Black Winged King, the purity of Edward's awakened bloodline is limited, while Nighteye is considered to have a nearly complete Blackwinged King's bloodline. Comparing the two, Nighteye's potential may be greater.
If we make an analogy, perhaps only the top few princes and princesses in the empire, or geniuses such as Zhao Jundu and Song Zining who are recognized as top-notch in life experience and talent, are qualified to be compared with her. If a princess from a small county wants to see Ye Tong, she has to look at her mood.
However, these have long been left behind by Ye Tong. Her current identity is that of Qianye's woman, a little woman who longs for an ordinary life.
After chatting for a while, Nan Hua suddenly said: "Zi Ning also cares about you very much. He sent someone to send a message some time ago, asking me to see how you are doing. In fact, he asked about you quite a lot. Yes, six or seven of the ten sentences in the letter are about you."
Yetong didn't notice the strangeness in Nan Hua's tone, and just asked: "Oh, there's a letter from Zining. Is there any news about Qianye?"
"I heard that he is very powerful and has a brilliant record. Many veteran strong men have been suppressed." When Qianye was mentioned, Nanhua's eyes also lit up, but his eyes when looking at Ye Tong were more complicated.
"He's not injured, right?" Ye Tong was obviously not concerned about Qianye's military exploits.
"I've never heard of it. Don't worry. Qianye is so powerful that even Zi Ning admires him. How could something happen? But you have another thing to worry about!" At this point, Nanhua kept silent. Just laughing, a little weird.
Yeye Tong said inexplicably: "What should I worry about?"
Nan Hua smiled and said: "I'm worried that someone will steal your Qianye! As far as I know, there are a lot of people who have had their thoughts on him recently!"
"Ah!" Ye Tong was slightly surprised. She had never thought about this before. But then he smiled and said: "Someone likes him. Isn't that great? But Qianye won't change."
Nan Hua said: "You are really confident. Alas, but you really should be confident. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who is worthy of Qianye."
Nan Hua was very excited and chatted for a long time before leaving.
Back at his residence, the maid sent another letter from Song Zining. The letter asked about Ye Tong's situation as usual, which immediately cast a shadow on Nan Hua's face. However, Nanhua had a subtle feeling when he thought of Qianye.
No matter where he is in Black Current City, Song Zining is a dazzling presence. But when he and Qianye stand together, people like Nan Hua will feel that Qianye is like an iceberg, floating on the surface of the water with only a tip, and the true body below the waterline cannot be measured at all. It's just a corner on the water, and it doesn't seem to be much darker than Song Zining.
When standing in front of Qianye, Nanhua could not help but tremble.
At this moment, Song Zining was pacing back and forth in the cabin, looking anxious. At the speed of a high-speed battleship, we will reach our destination in half an hour. But even this half hour made him unable to wait.
Song Zining sat down at the table and wrote a letter. He started by asking about Ye Tong's situation. But after writing a few sentences, he smiled bitterly and tore up the letter paper. Because I had just sent a letter, and if I wrote it again now, it would be too tracey, and it would be easy for someone to pick out the clues.
However, his uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, so he ignored his injuries and silently used his mental skills to calculate the secrets. However, with such obvious signs of uneasiness, the result of deducing the secret of heaven from three thousand floating leaves was vague and completely without direction.
This is the Void Floating Continent, where the two camps are fighting fiercely on the ground and in the void, risking their lives. And behind the invisible scenes, strong men from both sides who are good at deducing the secrets of heaven are also taking action from a distance, fighting to the death on the invisible battlefield. At this moment, everything above and below the floating land, inside and outside the void, was in chaos. Even if Lin Xitang takes action himself, without careful preparation, he may not be able to get the result, let alone Song Zining, who is still seriously injured at the moment?
Another consequence is that on the floating continent, the strong people's instinctive sense of danger is greatly weakened.
Song Zining took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, forcing himself to calm down and reorganize his thoughts. After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. He also understood that when he cared, he became confused and lost his bearings. But it was precisely because he knew how important Ye Tong was in Qianye's heart and how sensitive her identity was that Song Zining lost his usual composure.
The battleship's hull shook, the roar of its engines continued to increase, and it began to slow down slowly. Song Zining knew that he had arrived at his destination, so he calmed down, straightened up his appearance, and then calmly walked out of the cabin. No matter when and where, the Seventh Young Master must be flawless in front of everyone.
The battleship slowed down, and Qianye also felt it, so he walked out of the cabin.
The warship stopped at a relay base on the outskirts of the Zhao clan's territory, where it dropped off the injured on board, then loaded up with additional soldiers and supplies before returning to the fortress to assist in the defense.
As soon as Qianye stepped off the battleship, he saw a busy scene in front of him. Teams of warriors were lining up neatly, walking towards the warship, while more warriors were lining up in the distance, waiting for the next warship to arrive. At the edge of the landing field, supplies were piled up like mountains. More than a dozen trucks were shuttled back and forth. Some emergency supplies were too late to be shipped, so they were simply carried by senior officers and carried onto the battleship.
Someone had already arrived and led Qianye to the rear to rest and check his body. According to Zhao Clan’s official records, Qianye was seriously injured. In fact, Qianye's injuries were mostly healed at this moment, but he was severely depleted in blood and energy.
So Qianye refused to go to the hospital for examination, but asked for a training room to prepare to restore his original power.
The officer agreed and immediately rushed to make arrangements. At this time, an off-road vehicle roared past, and Zhao Yuying and Song Zining waved to Qianye. Unlike Qianye, the two of them had to stay in the hospital for a day or two.
At this moment, Zhao Yuying's breath was weak, her face was pale, and the weakness she had been suppressing finally took full effect. Losing most of her blood and almost all of her force power in one breath was something she couldn't bear even with her strength.
Qianye felt as if something hit him in his heart. When he remembered to wave, the off-road vehicle had already gone away.
The soldiers of the Zhao clan acted vigorously and resolutely, and in less than half an hour, the training room was ready.
Qianye followed the leading officer through half of the base and arrived at the training area. As soon as he entered the gate, a messenger rushed over quickly, saluted Qianye, and said hurriedly: "General Qianye , the frontline fortress has been lost! General Zhao Junfang asks you to go immediately to discuss countermeasures!"
Qianye was immediately shocked and could hardly believe his ears: "The fortress was lost? The last fortress?"
"It is the last fortress."
Qianye was in disbelief and shouted: "Impossible! Do you need more time?"
It has only been three hours since they evacuated the second fortress. They left in a battleship, while the dark army was on the ground. It would take more than an hour just to travel. In other words, even if the dark army kept moving without rest, the third-level fortress would only be able to defend it for a little more than an hour.
Facing Qianye’s doubts, the messenger said firmly: "The information is correct! Please attend the military meeting immediately!"
Qianye immediately followed the messenger to the main building of the base, but on the way, there were more and more doubts in his heart.
Ignoring other factors, Qianye knew very well about himself and what results he had achieved in the first two fortress defense battles. He spared no effort and went on a killing spree, killing more powerful men and advanced warriors of the dark race than all the others combined. It can be said bluntly that Qianye alone more than doubled the casualties of the dark army.
With such heavy casualties, even the army under the Duke's command would be exhausted. It is absolutely impossible to say that the combat effectiveness of the dark army has not declined. On the other hand, the Zhao Clan has the strongest guard force deployed in the third-level fortress. The strength of the guards has increased, and the combat power of the dark army is weaker than expected. It stands to reason that there should be no problem in defending the third-level fortress for a day. Why has it been lost in just an hour?
In such a short period of time, Zhang Clan's army had no time to distance itself and was still in a dangerous situation.
When they arrived at the military conference room in the main building of the fortress, Qianye saw Zhao Yuying and Song Zining arriving, as well as several imperial generals. The person presiding in the middle was a lieutenant general with pale sideburns. Qianye recognized him as the base commander Zhao Junfang. Zhao Junfang came from the Canglang Legion and had assisted Zhao Weihuang for many years. He was the right-hand man of Duke Cheng'en and had a great reputation in the Canglang Legion, which was full of powerful generals. That's why he was sent to take charge of this strategic location.
At this moment, he was reading the battle report in his hand, his face was livid, and after a moment he slammed the battle report on the table, and said angrily: "Young boy, you can only talk on paper, and you will ruin the Zhao family's important affairs!"
