Monarch of Evernight: Eight things happened
bsp;Thousands of warriors gathered in the square one after another. Many warriors spontaneously began to assemble upon arrival to form phalanxes. All the soldiers are well-equipped and uniformly dressed, and they look very impressive from a distance. Looking at the entire neutral land, the Wolf King Legion can be considered elite.
However, the old man's face became increasingly gloomy, almost dripping with water. In his eyes, those guys who looked tall and strong actually had little force. To put it bluntly, the square is full of cannon fodder and there is not a single decent expert.
Such a unit is a piece of rotten flesh without a skeleton to support it. Regardless of the number, even if the average level is higher than the opponent's, it will be overwhelmed by a team supported by strong people. From another perspective, you can have as many cannon fodder of this level as you want, and you won’t be heartbroken if you die as many as you want. It’s just a matter of paying for some equipment.
The generals also had good eyesight, and they noticed something fishy in the blink of an eye, and each of them looked uglier than the last.
This kind of cannon fodder will be useless no matter how much you pull it out. On the contrary, because of the need for command, it greatly increases the risks of several generals.
Qianye is alone and can come and go as he pleases. It is impossible to pay attention to the cannon fodder, but will only focus on the powerful warriors like them. On the battlefield, without middle- and lower-level officers to support offensive and defensive nodes, there is no way to organize a defense line, and even human shields cannot be raised. Even though these generals didn't take the Wolf King seriously, they knew very well that they couldn't withstand even one move against Qianye.
So let them bring this bunch of cannon fodder to attack Tingchao City, don't even think about it.
The old man knew these generals very well, and was too lazy to speak to them. He stood in silence for a long time, then reached out his hand to the attendant and said: "You have read the order of the King of Heaven, so please mobilize three thousand people. Immediately march to Tingchao City and blockade the west gate."
The attendant looked strange and asked: "Block the west gate?"
The old man snorted and said: "Why, just these rabble, still want to block the four gates?"
The attendant smiled and said: "Of course I don't mean this. I just think that... this seems to be of no use."
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's useful or not. Do it immediately!" The old man's voice began to have murderous intent.
The attendant knew that if he continued to push back, the old man would probably kill him. There was currently no one in the ancient totem battle fort who could compete with the old man. Moreover, in the Wolf King's plan, he had no intention of confronting Zhang Buzhou head-on. The attendant nodded, agreed, and went to deploy the soldiers.
After the attendants left, a general asked: "Sir, what use can these wastes have?"
The old man smiled sinisterly and said: "It's useful, show your attitude."
"What attitude?" Several generals were a little confused.
"The attitude of the Wolf King."
In Tingchao City, when the Wolf King's army blocked the west gate, there was a commotion of some magnitude. However, what was disappointing was that Qianye remained unmoved and remained locked up in the city lord's mansion, as if he was practicing hard to the end.
At nightfall, people who were expecting something to happen had to disperse with disappointment. Everyone can see that the sealed Wolf King's legion is all cannon fodder. There is not even a single general, and there are not even a few high-level warriors.
This kind of team will collapse at the first touch and have no strategic significance. Their only value is the few flags of the Wolf King Legion in the battle formation. Attacking them is equivalent to attacking the Wolf King's army.
It was not unexpected that Qianye did not take action. As long as he was not stupid, no one would do such a thing after seeing the so-called three thousand wolf king army outside the west gate. But he didn't even leave the city lord's mansion, which was extraordinary. This probably means that Qianye has long expected that the Wolf King will not really take action, and does not even need to verify it with his own eyes.
The City Lord's Mansion in the twilight was not peaceful. Several people in dark tights entered through the wall from somewhere without alerting any guards. They avoided fixed sentry posts by familiar routes and entered the backyard silently. Their movements were uniform as they marched, without any trace of murderous intent.
The backyard is almost empty now. Qianye occupies a small courtyard in the northwest corner. If there is no call, there will be no servants inside, and of course there is no need for guards. In addition to the guards patrolling along the original route, not even a bird would pass by the huge courtyard.
Two city guards walked out of the end of the corridor talking and laughing. When they looked up, they saw a dark shadow in front of them. Suddenly, they looked panicked and were about to exclaim, but the person on the other side made a familiar gesture and then shook out a document.
I had no time to read the densely packed small characters on the parchment, but the huge Heavenly King Seal was recognized by every Donghai person. Two city guards
They couldn't help but turn to look at their colleagues. Just as they were hesitating, several mysterious people passed them and continued to move forward.
In the quiet room, Qianye slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction where several mysterious people were approaching.
At this moment, the wall behind him suddenly broke open, and a long, lightless sword stabbed the back of his head!
Those intruders were just disguises, used to attract attention. The real killer has long been lurking behind the scenes!
The killer was determined to win this sword, and there was a strange dark blue on the edge of the sword, which was obviously tempered with the strange poison unique to the neutral land.
Seeing that the edge of the sword had touched the back of his head, Qianye suddenly moved his body to the side to let go of the edge of the sword. The two happened almost simultaneously. It was a coincidence that Qianye was impatient to sit down and stretched his body at this critical moment.
The killer's intended blow suddenly failed, but he remained calm in the face of danger. Before the sword was fully charged, there was a blue dagger in his other hand, stabbing Qianye's heart.
At this moment, the two of them were almost close to each other. The angle of the broken wall of the quiet room was obviously calculated in advance. The rubble and furniture restricted Qianye's movement route, and the killer's attack with a sword and a dagger was also trying to intercept it. There is room for counterattack left.
Sure enough, Qianye didn't make any obvious moves after getting out of the way of the sword. The dagger successfully pierced through his outer robe and underwear, scratched his skin, and advanced through his muscles with difficulty.
But before the surprise appeared in the killer's heart, he encountered resistance. The dagger was like sinking into solid rock, and it was unable to penetrate deep enough in the blink of an eye, not even touching the bones.
The killer wanted to use force, but there was no more strength in his hands. He suddenly caught a glimpse of a foreign object in the corner of his eye. He didn't know when several blood threads were floating in the air. When he looked around, he saw that they were retracting from his own body. There was a drop of crystal clear blood hanging on the top of each blood thread.
He didn't have time to understand the meaning of this vision, he just felt extremely tired and just wanted to fall asleep. The sleepiness came very quickly and was overwhelming. The killer swayed for a moment, then fell down and could no longer move.
Qianye stood up and moved his body, and the wound on his back disappeared. The poison on the dagger was nothing to the ancient vampires. Qianye felt a slight numbness and discomfort at the wound when the blade entered his body, but he felt no other sensation.
Qianye picked up the dagger and long sword, inspected them briefly, and found that both of them were level six weapons. He couldn't help but laugh, "They really spent a lot of money."
The killer himself is a level 16 strongman who is good at hiding and lurking. He is also better at using the terrain to assemble a surprise plan. He can also burst out with powerful force in an instant in order to kill with one blow. However, his own defense was not very good. In order to lurk, he did not even wear a battle armor. He was hit by Qianye's vitality **** and died immediately.
This person is very good at hiding. Even Qianye didn’t know when he hid in the courtyard. It wasn’t until the moment he launched the surprise attack that he realized that this assassination skill was something even a strong man of Du Yuan’s level could not achieve. There is no escape.
To achieve such a level of assassination, in addition to talent, one must also undergo rigorous training since childhood and invest a lot of resources to achieve success. The value of this person is far greater than those two level six special weapons.
The Heavenly King's Mansion sent this killer to attack Qianye, and it can be said that he spent a lot of money.
Qianye weighed the long sword in his hand, took a step forward, and suddenly appeared on the opposite wall, swinging his sword to stab the white wall. The long sword is inherently sharp, and with the blessing of Qianye's force, it is even more indestructible, piercing through walls like tofu. Every time the sword was lowered and pulled out, a stream of blood would spurt out from the hole in the wall.
After counting the swords, Qian Yefang calmly opened the door and came to the corridor to check. On the side near the quiet room, four corpses were lying upside down, and the exposed skin was quickly stained with a layer of dark blue. The four people were all injured by the sword on their waists and abdomen, but they died almost instantly due to the poison on the long sword.
Qianye picked up their facecloths, looked at them one by one, and found the document that scared off the city guards on one of the corpses. It was an ordinary letter of passage to the East China Sea. He didn't pay attention to it. Look, his hands were crushed into powder, "I've finally waited for you."
The original function of these intruders is to attract attention and cover the real killer's actions. They seemed to hear a muffled sound in the quiet room in the distance, but when they arrived at the predetermined location, everything was silent as usual, as if they had all heard an auditory hallucination before. In the plan, the four of them were not the main attackers. Without any signal, they hesitated for a moment and were killed by Qianye.
Although the four killers are bait, in order for Qianye to take the bait, they are all warrior-level warriors. Having lost so many well-trained killers all at once, no matter how well-established the Heavenly King's Mansion is, it will still feel painful.
Qianye walked around the four corpses, then raised his voice and said, "Here comes someone!"
Two city guards rushed over. When they saw the corpse on the ground, their faces instantly turned pale. They fell to their knees with a plop and said repeatedly: "Lord City Lord, we...we saw that they have the Heavenly King's Mansion. We only let them go with the warrant. We really didn’t know these guys were killers!”
"Don't worry, I don't want to kill you just yet. Call a few more people to drag these corpses out and hang them outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. By the way, there is another one in the house, don't miss it."
The two city guard companies claimed that they were, and then without calling anyone, they just picked up the two corpses and ran outside. They went to great lengths to show off and save their lives.
Qianye looked at their backs and smiled slightly. These city guards will not know the identities of those killers, but such powerful men are not unknown in any force. I think some of the upper-class people in Tingchao City will be able to recognize them. Killing the corpse and displaying it to the public is like cutting off Zhang Buzhou's face again.
When the corpses were hung outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, Qianye turned around and left, walking away without looking back. Everything he wanted to do in Tingchao City was over, and there was no need to stay any longer. As for the next round of the game between the local forces in this majestic city, Qianye only had to watch and did not have to get involved.
In Nanqing City, Song Zining was standing in front of the table, looking at the thick stack of drawings on the table. This is the latest design drawing of a floating battleship. It has been redesigned according to the environment of the neutral land. It can be said to be a tailor-made battleship.
Before this, the floating battleships in the Neutral Land were all modified from the old battleships of the Empire or Evernight. In terms of performance, they were only barely usable. Fortunately, the environment of the Neutral Land is special. Once the Empire and the Evernight Fleet penetrate deeply, their combat power will be greatly reduced. It is better to make targeted modifications to the maneuverability and firepower of the old ships.
However, the pile of drawings in front of Song Zining, once turned into a battleship, will become the first truly customized battleship in the history of the Neutral Land, which can completely sweep away the existing ships.
It is not easy to build a floating battleship. The most critical step is because Song Zining obtained the formula of the super alloy and can produce many important engine parts in the empire. With these, it is possible to build battleships.
Song Zining is not an expert on battleships, but his many years of military experience have allowed him to see some problems in the design and practical use of battleships. Just like now, the drawings in front of him are densely packed with hand-made markings, all of which he thinks need to be improved.
After finally looking at the drawing in front of him, Song Zining stretched his body and rubbed his eyes. He walked to the mirror and looked up, and saw that the eyes of the person in the mirror were bloodshot and there were two big dark circles.
At this time, the attendant knocked on the door and said: "Sir Zining, there are people outside asking to see you. They claim to be from the Imperial Military Department."
