Monarch of Evernight: Forty-two Quiet Life

bsp; Bowang Hou holds a high position and dominates the province. After withstanding the pressure of the dark race's offensive, the Wei family in the Far East has recovered and the situation is getting better day by day. Therefore, even if he did not invest much in the floating land battlefield, Bowang Hou was among those who could hear the secrets and knew the defenses of the Unfallen City and the surrounding situation. Looking at the layout of the outer edge of this defense zone map, he could roughly determine whether it was authentic or not, and which area it was in.

This defense zone map is of great significance, and time is pressing. As for how it came about, it is not so important at this moment.

Bo Wanghou made a quick decision and said: "Follow me to the Zhao clan camp immediately!"

The person in charge of the overall situation at this moment is still Duke Youguo. Zhao Xuanji was old and powerful. After getting the defense zone map, he knew it was too late and made up his mind on the spot. He immediately sent orders to several aristocratic families. After a while, the troops in the Unfallen City began to mobilize layer by layer, and floating warships took off one after another.

Such a big movement cannot be hidden from anyone. Seeing that most of the Zhao clan's private troops were mobilized, many aristocratic families were surprised and couldn't help but ask around to find out what happened to make the Zhao clan go into such a big fight.

It wasn't until dawn that the battle report was sent back to the Unfallen City.

The Zhao family united with several good friends to attack a demon defense area in front of them. In this campaign, the Zhao clan mobilized almost all the resources it could mobilize, and it can be said that they all came out in full force. Zhao Xuanji even borrowed an imperial squadron that guarded outer space to provide fire coverage.

This battle went surprisingly smoothly. The Zhao Clan's army was overwhelming and encountered little resistance along the way. Before many important defense nodes could take effect, they were destroyed by the Imperial Flotilla Fleet according to the markings on the defense zone map. As the battle progressed, the Demon Marquis who was in charge of this defense area boldly went out to fight, but was jointly attacked by Zhao Xuanji and Prince Rui. After a while, he was unable to survive, and finally escaped with serious injuries.

After breaking through the defense zone, Duke Youguo did not hesitate to fight. Instead, under the cover of the imperial fleet, he slowly withdrew his troops and retreated to the original defense zone.

This battle was fought so quickly and suddenly that the other defense zones of the two camps did not react. The dark race coalition forces were still staring at the defense area of ​​the military headquarters and attacked fiercely. They broke through more than ten kilometers in the middle of the night, and Wu Daoyu's elite troops began to be eliminated in organized areas. Wu Daoyu's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, it was too late to ask for help from the military headquarters, and the only option was to hold on to the end.

In the first battle, a Demon Marquis defense zone was cleared, and the results were astonishing. After this battle, the rumors that the Zhao clan was passive and desperate to fight were self-evidently disproven. Moreover, at a critical moment, Duke Youguo was able to mobilize the empire's outer space fleet, which also made people think deeply.

After another day, the news spread. It turned out that the key to victory in this battle lay in a defense zone map brought back by Wei Potian, the eldest son of the Wei family. In the blink of an eye, various versions of rumors were flying in the sky, including that Prince Wei went deep into the army alone and went straight into the central army to steal the defense zone map; that Wei Potian sneaked thousands of miles and stole the defense zone map from the center of the army. There are all kinds of things like this.

Since Wei Potian has made such a great contribution, the next step will naturally be awards from the Zhao clan, the Imperial Military Department and even the imperial family. In the past few days, awards ceremonies, large and small, and banquets of different names followed one after another, making Wei Potian feel dizzy. He was dragged into the next banquet without waking up from a hangover, without knowing where he was.

For a time, the eldest prince of Wei was in the limelight, and even surpassed Zhao Jundu.

It's no wonder that the defense zone map was of great value. Zhao Xuanji not only used it to annihilate a marquis' entire force, but he also lured his opponent out and inflicted heavy damage in one fell swoop. Although the demon-born Marquis escaped in the end, his injuries were extremely serious and he would not be able to recover even if he did not die if he returned. He would have to eliminate a powerful enemy once and for all.

Among the four major races, the demon race often becomes more powerful than the other three major races later on. The combat power of a demon-born marquis is at least comparable to that of a werewolf and spider demon marquis. Moreover, high-level demons have mysterious and unpredictable powers and secret techniques, which are extremely troublesome. No one is willing to fight such an enemy. Therefore, for the entire floating land battlefield, killing a demon marquis is considered a big deal.

In the end, the military merit of a marquis was recorded on Wei Potian's head. For Prince Wei, this was like a golden pie falling from the sky. Seriously speaking, he just ran an errand and came back with something. At most, he was unconscious for a short while and kicked in the **** a few times by someone.

There is no doubt that all this was arranged by Song Zining. So Wei Potian was not only happy, but also worried. He didn't think Song Zining would be so kind. Behind a sweet date, there was probably some kind of trap.

The empire has always given the most generous rewards for military achievements. Because of Wei Potian's special status and the Wei family is also the target of various forces, he received extra preferential treatment this time. The military department only records pure military achievements, and that's it. The reward from the imperial family was several rare treasures, which could be used by Wei Potian to build a tailor-made armor. Moreover, these treasures also have special bonuses for Qianzhong Mountain, and they are obviously specially selected.

Zhao Clan’s private reward is equally generous, it is actually a small high-speed floating battleship. Although it was only a basic model, it also made Prince Wei extremely happy.

But what puzzled Wei Potian was that Song Zining had never appeared again since that night, and he didn't know where he went.

Although this unexpected harvest was huge, Wei Potian did not lose his head. After thinking about it, he decided to return to the Far East and take charge of the war there. The battle situation in the Unfallen City is becoming increasingly weird. There are countless big forces wrestling behind the scenes. This place is no longer suitable for him. Moreover, the Wei family did not have many interests here, and Qianye rebelled against the empire. For a moment, Wei Potian felt quite discouraged and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Thousands of miles away from the Unfallen City, there is a solitary peak, standing on the edge of the cliff with a white sky, looking up at the endless starry sky, not knowing what to think.

Bai Aufu climbed to the top step by step, stood next to the girl, threw a backpack at her feet, and said: "Everything you want is here."

"Thank you."

Bai Aufu was startled, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "This is the first time I've heard you say thank you in so long. However, the word does seem unfamiliar. You still don't regard yourself as a member of the Bai family."

Bai Kongzhao sighed softly and said: "I don't belong to anyone, not even myself. I don't know why I live, maybe I just want to live."

"Are you still leaving?"

The girl nodded and said: "I can't find the meaning of staying here."

"There is a war here, there are enough strong men, there are countless enemies, and there are even strong men that you can't match now. Aren't these the reasons for you to stay? If you want to kill, There are countless warriors on the dark side."

"No, it's not." The girl shook her head vigorously, with indescribable confusion in her eyes. "I suddenly felt that there was no point in killing. Those people were no longer a threat to me. Killing them would not make me feel safer. Now, I don't know what I am going to do."

Bai Aotu stood silently for a moment and said, "Do you have to leave? Is it because of Zhao Ruoxi?"

The girl shook her head: "No. Although she wants to kill me, she can kill me, but I can't describe that feeling. I just feel that there is nothing for me to do here. What calls me is the distance. ."

"Have you thought about where you are going?"

"Neutral place." The girl answered without hesitation. It seemed that she already had a clue.

"For Qianye? Are you going to kill him?"

Bai Kongzhao's eyes showed confusion again, "Him? Maybe, maybe not. I just think I should go there and have a look."

"The Neutral Ground does suit you well. Well, good luck to you."

The girl smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "In your eyes, good luck should not belong to people like me."

"It doesn't belong to me either." Bai Aufu said calmly.

The girl picked up her backpack, put it on her back, waved her hand and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Before jumping off the cliff, Bai Kongzhao looked back and said, "Although I am not from the Bai family, I like the name Bai Kongzhao very much and will continue to use it!"

She jumped off the cliff, fell straight down, and then walked away in the wilderness.

After a long time, Bai Aufu turned around and left quietly.

Life in the Neutral Land is unexpectedly peaceful. Qianye's daily job is to dig holes and repair houses. After the war, Dongyue was no longer useful and became a shovel for digging dirt and a saw blade for cutting trees.

In a few days, the prototype of a decent home was formed. The courtyard wall has been completely built, and there is also an additional watchtower. In the courtyard, there are two large houses occupying one side of each other, each with two floors. On the other side is the warehouse, only a small part of it is exposed on the ground, and the larger part is the underground ice cellar.

The old man has already built his own workshop, but what he needs to produce now are daily tools and spare parts for a few old antique machines, which makes him feel quite useless.

Yeye Tong and Zhu Ji hunt outside every day and explore the surrounding environment. The environment on the other side of the river is almost the same as here, but less than ten kilometers away from the river, fog begins to fill the air. Both Ye Tong and Xiao Zhu Ji felt that there was a faint sense of danger deep in the mist, so they didn't go deep into it.

At night, as the sky gradually darkened, the temperature dropped rapidly. There was warmth in the small courtyard, and the dancing firelight dispelled the growing chill.

In the dining room, several dishes have been placed on the table, and the aroma is fragrant. It can be seen that they are made by Qianye. At this time, the door opened and Ye Tong walked in. She shook the frost off her cloak, and when she saw the food on the table, she cheered and ran to the table to sit down obediently.

Qianye walked out of the kitchen, holding a large basin of soup in his hands, biting the spoon in his mouth, and holding a plate on his head.

He put the soup basin and plate on the table, looked around and asked, "Where is Zhu Ji?"

"She went to the sea, but it's dinner time now, so she should be back soon, right?" Ye Tong said.

"Yes, no matter how playful this little guy is, eating is the most important thing. Wait a moment and he should be back." Qianye said with a smile.

The door was banged open, and Zhu Ji rushed in, holding a lobster bigger than her body in both hands, shouting happily: "Add vegetables, add vegetables!"

ps: My body has finally recovered, I hope it won’t happen again this time.
