Monarch of Evernight: Eighty-Seven Iron Curtain
bsp;The black tide line quickly pushed across the sky above Qianye's head, and the surrounding area immediately became extremely dark, as if the night had suddenly fallen. He turned his head and looked far away, and could see that the light in the distant wilderness was fading away, and the black tide spread across the sky with unstoppable momentum.
Qianye's eyes flashed with blue light, and he looked at his hands. The slender five fingers are wrapped with thin dark force. They are particularly active at this time, whirling and dancing, and hitting Qianye's skin from time to time, giving a slight tingling feeling.
The dark world ruled by black is separated into dark and light blocks in the real field of vision.
Qianye discovered that the dark force was constantly seeping out of the void, dissolving like ink stains until it met another group, stained, and changed. If you look carefully, you will see that those rapidly changing shadows are actually the shadows of various ferocious beasts. All the shadows are roaring desperately and constantly fighting each other.
Suddenly, an inexplicable irritability surged into his heart, and Qianye felt the urge to jump in and kill. He woke up immediately, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his back. Such a familiar feeling, as if he had returned to those days when the black blood broke out, thirsting for blood and killing.
At this time, an indescribable tremor emerged from the deepest part of Qianye's heart. He suddenly knew what the Black Tide was.
That is a realm, so incredibly large that even with his extraordinary vision, he cannot see the boundary! An unknown existence covered the sky and the earth with its own domain.
Qianye took a few deep breaths slowly and stood still for a moment before jumping back on the motorcycle and heading back to Blackstream City. After the initial restlessness passed, Qianye discovered that the influence of the black tide and the black blood were still different. The black tide caused the dark force in nature to suddenly become active, making creatures uneasy, while the black blood eroded and assimilated the sanity of creatures.
However, this discovery can only comfort him, but it does not make him feel at ease.
Currently, Black Current City and surrounding areas, and perhaps the entire Mikawa County, have been enveloped by the Kuroshio Current. It is impossible to evacuate residents on a large scale. No matter what the circumstances, it is safer in the city than in the wilderness, not to mention how large the scope of the Kuroshio Current is and where it will expand to be the boundary. In other words, no one knows where the safe zone is.
When Qianye returned to Black Current City, the Black Current had already crossed here and continued to extend deep into human territory. There was darkness between heaven and earth, and even the brief few hours of sunlight each day were lost.
Such a vision naturally frightened the residents of Heiliu City. However, when Qianye entered the city, he found that everything was extremely peaceful. This was all the result of Zhao Yuying's iron-blooded tactics. As soon as the black tide emerged, she immediately summoned Song Hu, a senior officer who had been staying behind in the dark fire, and others to declare martial law throughout the city.
All the Dark Fire garrison troops were sent to the streets, setting up roadblocks at important intersections. Then she went out on patrol in person, killing dozens of people who panicked and caused riots, or who wanted to take advantage of the situation, kill and set fire, and finally frightened the hunters, mercenaries and adventurers who swarmed into the city.
As for the indigenous residents of Blackstream City, most of them became extremely honest during the more than half a month that the imperial ladies stayed.
As soon as he returned to the Dark Fire Base, Qianye immediately went to find Zhao Yuying and asked: "Is it a beast tide?"
Zhao Yuying was rarely serious: "No, it's worse than the beast tide. If I remember correctly, this is probably the Iron Curtain."
"Iron Curtain?" Qianye was startled. He always thought that this word was just a metaphor, not a real thing.
"It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it. The Iron Curtain usually appears in the mainland of the dark country. At most, it only extends to the far reaches of the empire and covers a small area on the border. Past news has been suppressed by the empire. That is the highest level secret of the military. I only got some information because of the old man’s help.”
Qianye looked out the window and saw that the sky was as dark as before. However, it was not a completely dark night. There was a layer of hazy lead-gray light in the sky, which was extremely depressing. It was indeed like an endless iron curtain covering the entire earth.
In the world under the Iron Curtain, there are no sun, moon, or stars.
"What on earth is that?"
"You should have felt that the Iron Curtain is actually a domain, an incredibly large domain. According to the recorded data of the empire, the smallest Iron Curtain is half the size of a province. As for the larger ones, there are no people at all. to find out its true boundaries."
"Since it is a realm, there must be someone who can release it. This kind of power is incredible. What kind of existence can have such power?"
Zhao Yuying smiled bitterly and said: "Perhaps we can't call them humans. The empire has a king, and the dark race has a king. Similarly, the ferocious beasts also have their own emperors. If we look at strength alone, they are the most powerful force in this world. The true powerhouse at the peak. In addition, there are also some unimaginably powerful creatures wandering in the void. From an ordinary person's perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are gods."
Qianye found it incredible, "Is the Iron Curtain the domain of the beast king?"
"As far as I know, this is true without exception."
Qianye was stunned and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After a while, he said: "The Iron Curtain shouldn't appear for no reason, right?" Such an astonishing vision means the same amount of consumption, even if The king of ferocious beasts will not do anything meaningless.
"I just heard that maybe those kings discovered a rare thing that they were bound to get, or some special places and areas. They released the Iron Curtain to declare their sovereignty and set their own home court. It is said that ten Among the famous guns, the souls of two of them were born in the Iron Curtain."
Qianye was completely silent now. At the level of the top ten famous guns, it was a battlefield for the kings and kings. Not to mention the Black River City War Zone, the entire Sanhe County, and even the expeditionary force are as small as ants. Maybe those big shots find it troublesome to even glance at them.
However, because of this, if the city gate catches fire and affects Chiyu, even if the aftermath passes by, Dark Fire and Black Current City cannot bear it.
Zhao Yuying was also exposed to the Iron Curtain for the first time, and she was not very clear about what would happen next. But she and Qianye had the same idea. A large-scale evacuation was impossible. Even if the residents of Blackstream City were ignored, the movements of the entire Dark Fire Legion were quite large. Who knew what would happen.
All we can do now is wait and see.
However, neither Qianye nor Zhao Yuying liked to be completely passive. After the two of them agreed on a response strategy, they prepared to travel around the city and the wilderness separately, hoping to have more control over the situation.
As time passed, Qianye gradually adapted to the depression and irritability caused by the Iron Curtain. Other than that, there seemed to be no other abnormalities. However, the field is the field, and being in other people's fields is quite dangerous. Dusk has just proved this to Qianye.
At this moment, in the void outside the Evernight Continent, a light boat dozens of meters long is gliding. Its appearance is that of a retro sailing ship, with several sails fluttering together on a mast as tall as a flag, and the whole body is shrouded in a faint light of the Force.
The main color of the flying boat is blue and gray. The most eye-catching thing is the forged bronze King Kong statue embossed on the bow of the boat, which is solemn and majestic. There is a wing on each side, equipped with propellers, but otherwise there is no visible power device. For an aerostat capable of crossing continents, its construction is surprisingly simple.
The speed of this light boat was unusually fast, even surpassing several famous military high-speed ships of the empire. In the blink of an eye, it flew to the Evernight Continent, and then its speed did not slow down, turning into a blue light in the air, and quickly flew away. .
Below the canoe, the edge of the void is disappearing rapidly, and mountains and rivers are flashing by like a fleeting shadow.
As they were speeding along, a gentle voice suddenly came from the uppermost room of the two-story ship building, "A distinguished guest has arrived, stop the ship." The man didn't speak loudly, but it spread to every corner in an instant.
The boat suddenly slowed down and was hovering in the air in the blink of an eye. The whole process went smoothly without any frustration. This is not only because of the superior performance of the aerostat, but also because the people who control it are obviously top experts.
Someone laughed loudly in the void, "As expected, I still can't hide it from you."
There was a sudden flash of lightning in the sky, and then the wind and clouds surged, gathering, rolling, and rotating very quickly, and finally formed a huge cloud group covering nearly a kilometer in radius. A man stepped on a small boat and fell from the sky.
It was a real boat, only a few meters long. It was shaped like the kind of open boat people used to fish on rivers. The only difference was that it exuded a metallic luster, and occasionally there were runes on the hull like runes. The lines flicker on and off.
The person who came here is tall and tall, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are full of energy. When he looks around, he has the aura of someone else in the world. It’s not Imperial Marshal Zhang Boqian, but who is it?
Lin Xitang walked to the deck and said, "Is Zhang Shuai okay? It's a coincidence that we met here."
Zhang Boqian snorted, looked Lin Xitang up and down, and then glanced at the boat. No one else came out of the two-story ship building, but the sergeants inside all looked at Zhang Boqian with the same awe, as if their sharp eyes could penetrate the ship wall and see them clearly.
Zhang Boqian looked a little gloomy and said: "Come down and talk."
Lin Xitang smiled faintly, did not answer, and did not move.
Zhang Boqian sneered: "The great Marshal of the Empire actually dared not leave his own ship for even half a step?"
Although Lin Xitang's expression did not change much, his eyes flashed slightly, "Zhang Shuai must have just met with King Dingxuan not long ago."
The battle between Zhang Boqian and King Dingxuan has been the most talked about event in the empire recently. The strange thing is that the time for the battle has passed, and neither the imperial family nor the Zhang family has any news about this battle. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the imperial family and several other heavenly kings have officially recognized Zhang Boqian's status as heavenly king. In other words, the Great Qin Empire now has five heavenly kings.
So when Lin Xitang found out that the person coming was Zhang Boqian, he was actually quite surprised. In a battle between strong men at that level, it is almost impossible to escape unscathed, even if it takes a few years to recuperate. The war was over. Why did Zhang Boqian come directly to the Evernight Continent if he didn't take a good rest?
Zhang Boqian said: "I have indeed seen it."
Lin Xitang's eyes flashed and he asked: "What's the result?"
"If you want to know, just speak out."
Lin Xitang laughed, suddenly stepped aside and said, "How about Zhang Shuai come up and sit down for a while, have a cup of tea, and chat about things like culture and people, what do you think?"
