Monarch of Evernight: 202 Void Oscillation

bsp;The admiral is the position of the military commander in charge of the military police. The Beifu Army is nominally a state-owned and private army. It is really a bit nondescript to appoint such a person, and this general is actually a divine general.

Although Zhao Junhong introduced the other party's name as Lin Wu, Zhao Jundu had already remembered this person's identity. Not long ago, he was Fang Qingkong, the right envoy of the Cabinet Supervision Department. Both the Beifu Legion and Fang Qingkong were Lin Xitang's old troops. Since Zhao Jundu had already remembered the connection, he would not ask any more questions.

Zhao Jundu and Lin Wu both looked calm and politely gave each other a military salute.

The Zhao Clan, the Military Region, and the Beifu are the empire's top military forces on the Western Continent. Now that the principals are all here, Zhao Ruqin quickly went through the existing information in detail.

Currently, it seems that the sudden appearance of the non-native Dark Duke fleet is targeting the rebel province, and it has also been detected that the fleet has deployed offensive forces there. It has only been two hours since the incident, so the specific battle situation on the ground has not been reported back yet.

However, the empire was completely unable to understand the fleet's intentions.

Although the rebel provinces are nominally at war with both the empire and the dark race, in fact, the number of armed conflicts they have with the empire and the dark race is far less than that between the empire and the dark race. In contrast, gray trade is much closer.

Neither Younan nor Wubei provinces have any special natural resources, and their prosperity comes from camp smuggling. Moreover, the rebels did not have a powerful god-level warrior in charge, and the commander of the Egret Legion only claimed to be at the God-General Tianguan.

Therefore, it is completely meaningless for the Eternal Night Council to dispatch duke-level powerhouses. The dark races should know very well that the empire will not sit back and watch Eternal Night annex those two provinces.

After Zhao Ruqin finished speaking, Zhao Junhong said thoughtfully: "The Duke's fleet is all battleships and there are no troop transport ships, which means that the total military strength will not exceed 20,000 people."

Zhao Ruqin nodded and said: "Yes, the number of ground troops they deployed is only about 10,000 people."

"Regardless of the quality of the military, it is impossible for this small number of people to occupy the province." Zhao Junhong pondered for a moment and said: "The beheading operation is quite appropriate..."

Zhao Ruqin was a little confused, "Who should be beheaded? The rebel leader? So far, there is no news of ground troops being sent from the Dark Territory. If it is a beheading operation, what is the purpose?"

At this moment, there was a small noise below the turret, and someone ran up with heavy steps.

After the man stood still, he gasped for air and shouted at the same time: "General, please send troops to support Younan! The dark race, the dark race is slaughtering the city over there!"

Zhao Ruqin was shocked and looked closely. The person who suddenly broke in was his own subordinate, Qi Ming, the deputy commander of the city guard. "What's going on, where are the scouts? Tell the scouts to come directly and report!"

Qi Ming suddenly paused and said, "The scout hasn't come back yet..."

At this time, Lin Wu suddenly said sadly: "The Zhao family really has many capable people, and the information stationed in the pass is better than the secret spies sent abroad."

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Jundu and Zhao Junhong all turned their eyes to Lin Wu.

When Lin Wu was in the Supervision Department, he had a reputation for being harsh, but countless facts have proven that he never made something out of nothing, nor did he hit the target without aim. At this time and here, Lin Wu said such a sentence, which had profound meaning.

Zhao Ruqin didn't care what Lin Wu was saying. In front of the two Zhao brothers, his subordinates broke through the cordon again and reported such nonsense. When the time comes, this fault will be huge. The one who was recorded on his head couldn't help but said angrily: "Then where did you know about it!"

Qi Ming whispered: "Someone in Younan Province escaped and fled to us..."

Zhao Ruqin frowned. There were a lot of problems behind this question and answer, but now was not the time to argue with Qi Ming about this matter. He could only adopt the most direct method first and said: "Go and call people up!"

Qi Ming immediately turned around and ran down.

At this time Lin Wu said again: "In this special period, General Zhao also knows that it is better to be more cautious in city defense and not to be tempted to open or close the door."

Zhao Ruqin was speechless for a while, but he had no way to refute. In the past, it really happened that the human race in the rebel province used the pretext of fleeing to cover the dark race's attack on the Zhao clan's territory. It's just that this kind of trick is difficult to use in important military towns such as Youtong Pass where high-level generals are stationed.

Although brothers Zhao Jundu and Zhao Junhong remained silent throughout, they exchanged several glances with each other. Both of them felt Lin Wuruo's hostility. It seemed that he should know some secrets, and those things might be detrimental to the Zhao clan.

Qi Ming left and returned soon, bringing with him a frightened middle-aged man.

After asking, it turned out that the man was a businessman who happened to be delivering a batch of goods to Fucheng, where the rebel armed Bailu Legion was located. He happened to encounter a dark race killing people in the city.

The businessman couldn't tell any more details. He turned around and ran away at the city gate, and the transport vehicle happened to be a small floating boat. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape to Youtong Pass so quickly.

There are only a few things that are certain. First, the city gate was still open to traffic at that time, and there was no wartime alert. Obviously, there was no warning for this attack. Second, the Egret Corps station had been engulfed in fire. Third, When the warriors of the dark race ran on the streets, they killed people indiscriminately, because there were some mixed-race people living there who looked more like the dark race, but those warriors didn't make any distinction at all and chopped down everyone in sight. . Fourth, on his way to Youtongguan, he passed by other big cities and vaguely saw fighting in the cities.

After listening, everyone had different expressions.

Zhao Ruqin waved his hand and asked Qi Ming to take him down first. However, Qi Ming sent the people to the stairs, then turned back and asked for a fight again.

Zhao Ruqin frowned deeply. This matter was not that easy. Not to mention that the news brought by Xing Shang was only one-sided. Even if it was all true, Zhao Clan still needed to consider how to send troops.

If you pass by the ground, you may be attacked by rebel cities along the route. If you pass through the air, you will enter the guarding range of the Duke's fleet in the outer void. In other words, what you have to prepare for will be a real battle.

Qi was obviously very anxious. He knew brothers Zhao Jundu and Zhao Junhong, and also knew from Lin Wu's clothes that he was a general-level big shot, so after the initial recklessness, he did not dare to speak too loudly, just facing Zhao Ruqin kept whispering persuasion.

Zhao Ruqin interrupted him and said, "Go and see if the scouts have returned..." With such an important military situation, he couldn't just listen to the words of a businessman.

What else Qi Ming wanted to say, Lin Wu suddenly jumped off the city wall, and after a while, he came back with the merchant who came to report the news.

Lin Wu said nothing, and with his palm like a knife, he cut open the merchant's coat, revealing the vest-like blue and white soft armor underneath.

This is the standard armor for elite soldiers, the basic armor worn in military uniforms, and blue and white are the main colors of the Egret Legion's military uniforms. Obviously time was too hasty. This man changed out of his outer military uniform, but had no time to take off his inner armor.

The man was trembling with fear, and Qi Ming's expression changed drastically.

Zhao Ruqin's face turned dark and he glared at Qi Ming fiercely.

Since this businessman came directly to Youtong Pass, he could see Qi Ming immediately and make Qi Ming believe his words. Obviously, the two of them were acquaintances. No one had revealed this matter before, because although the rebel province was at war with the empire, in fact, both sides were of the same human race, and it was impossible for them to have no contact with each other.

But the dignified Deputy Commander of Zhao Clan City Guards has a completely different relationship with an ordinary businessman from a rebel province and a real member of the rebels.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Qi Ming hurriedly explained that it turned out that the man was the quartermaster of the Egret Legion. Apart from his identity, everything he said was true. This also explained how a businessman could have such judgment. and mobility.

Zhao Ruqin just called his soldiers over and took the quartermaster of the Bailu Legion into custody before he could deal with Qi Ming. Everyone had sensed it and looked towards the direction of Younan Province.

Even from such a long distance, you can see that the sky is like an endless curtain, lifted up by an invisible hand, and then a city in the sky leaps out!

Those with farther sight distances, such as Zhao Jundu and Lin Wu, could even vaguely see the figures of dark race warriors in the city. At the same time, the black spots on the sky around Sky City are actually more than ten battleships.

At this time, an emergency report came from the monitoring post in the outer void. The Duke's fleet lowered its altitude and entered the near-ground airspace of Younan Province.

Zhao Ruqin said in surprise: "What is that!"

Qi Ming shouted: "General, look, I was right, this is an invasion!"

Lin Wu suddenly said: "Even if it is an invasion, it is an invasion of Younan. What does it have to do with you?"

Qi Ming suddenly turned his head, his eyes red, no longer caring about who Lin Wu was, "Younan is also a human race!"

Lin Wu said coldly: "Younan is just a human race, not an empire, why should the empire send troops?"

Zhao Jundu and Zhao Junhong frowned at the same time. There was obviously a language trap in Lin Wu's words, and Qi Ming had obviously been trapped in it.

Before anyone could say anything to stop their conversation, Qi Ming clenched his fists and shouted: "Even if there are rebels there, there are more civilians!"

Lin Wu had no expression on his face and looked at him from head to toe indifferently, then said: "I'm afraid it's not just civilians, but also your family, right?"

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Ruqin, who had been a little unable to react, changed his face, knowing that it was not good.

As expected, Qi Ming said in a deep voice: "Yes, my wife is in Fucheng. She just gave birth to a son for me three months ago. War is war, and women and children are innocent. What's more, we are both human beings, facing How could Yongye not be there to help each other!"

At the same time that Lin Wu sneered, Zhao Ruqin directly chopped Qi Ming unconscious and called in his own soldiers to drag him away.

Lin Wu said calmly: "There are quite a few people on both sides who exchange styles. They just settled their homes there. I don't know what the reasons are."

Zhao Ruqin was completely speechless. Zhao Junhong coughed lightly and said, "Admiral Lin has been in the imperial capital for a long time and is no stranger to the situation in the Western Continent."

Lin Wudao: "A few days ago, rumors spread from Fucheng in Younan that the emperor's master Lin Gong was not killed in the battle. It spread to Yanxi Province in one day and traveled to Wuji City. The next morning, he arrived in the imperial capital and won the title. After midnight, I finally found out how this efficiency came about.

Lin Wu's words were without any euphemisms and were so straightforward that no one could pretend not to understand. Even Zhao Junhong couldn't help but change color on his face, and Zhao Ruqin wished he could suddenly become deaf.

Only Zhao Jundu took a deep look at Lin Wu and still said calmly: "I will give an explanation to Admiral Lin later on this matter."

He pointed at the floating city under the sky in front of him, "That floating city looks very much like the demiplane weapon recorded in the data. What does Admiral Lin think of the current situation?"

Lin Wudao: "The oscillation of the void felt by King Beiyue should be a sign that this floating city is about to make a space jump."

Zhao Jundu frowned slightly and said, "Can we only rely on the Heavenly King's induction?"

Lin Wudao: "I'm afraid, yes, all the outer void detection machinery that we can manufacture with current technology cannot guarantee recognition. The outer void is actually not calm for a moment, it may be a void storm, it may be a planetary orbit, It could also be rainbow turbulence."

Zhao Jundu nodded and said, "I'll go take a look."

Lin Wudao: "It's best not to. According to the data, the attack range of this type of super weapon can cover a province and has the power to destroy all ground buildings. Since it reappeared after a thousand years, it should not only It is to deter us, but it will actually launch it, and then we will deal with it according to the situation."

Zhao Jundu repeated, "Destroy all ground buildings..."

Everyone was silent for a moment. If the historical data are not exaggerated, everyone knows what this means.

Lin Wudao: "According to the empire's weapon level classification, it is at least a king-level offensive weapon. However, it is best not to let the old prince pass before we obtain at least one data."

The silence lasted longer this time, and no one mentioned the possibility of supporting Younan Province. Whether what lies ahead is a trap laid for the Empire or a mere victim, all gray areas serve only as buffers from the threat of all-out war. To put it more clearly, it means accumulating data for new weapons.

A voice suddenly fell from above the head, "The old prince is going to take charge of Wuji City."

A figure slowly landed in front of everyone. He was wearing a marshal's military uniform without badges or logos. The figure stood as tall and straight as all soldiers. Other than that, he had no other obvious features. (https:)
