Monarch of Evernight: June 1 Confrontation
bsp;"Great Chief!" The werewolves around him were shocked, but no one dared to stop him. The Wolf King's ferocity is famous not only among the human race, but also within the entire tribe.
The Wolf King turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him and just continued to draw on the power of his ancestors. The body of the high priest continued to tremble, his cheeks began to shrink, and his eyes gradually became dull. It wasn't until he was about to lose consciousness that the Wolf King let go of the totem.
The high priest collapsed on the ground, gasping and struggling, but couldn't get up.
The Wolf King's face was stern, with a dark red light glowing all over his body. He looked around at his tribe and shouted: "I cannot allow the honor of the tribe to be trampled on. The dead warriors must be avenged! Now, let us fight, and I will lead you to tear them apart. All enemies! The ancestors are with us!"
"The ancestors are with us!" All the werewolf warriors roared, and their marching speed suddenly accelerated.
The great sacrifice in the carriage was almost forgotten at this moment. If he cannot recover, it won't be long before a new high priest will be elected within the tribe. After the previous high priest died unexpectedly, there was no inheritance of the power of the ancestors, so the candidates were almost the same.
With the power of his ancestors, the Wolf King became even more irritable and impatient to ride in the car. Instead, he flew directly to the direction of Nan Qingcheng, intending to check the city's defense status first.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Nanqing City was hot but also filled with depression and sadness. There were nearly 4,000 people who followed Song Zining into the battle, but only a little more than half came back. In terms of casualties, Qianye had an absolute advantage in raids and ambushes, and Qianye started by beheading the enemy general. Even so, the casualties of the mercenaries were about the same as those of the Wolf King's forward army, which shows how big the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is. .
The battle with more than half of the casualties was a bit too cruel even for mercenaries who were used to seeing killing and death. Almost every survivor has friends and brothers who stayed on the smoke-filled battlefield forever in this battle.
However, despite the cruelty, the morale of the mercenaries has not dropped, but has become higher and higher. This time, they saw victory and hope.
Before this, they were just the bottom of the mercenaries. Not to mention defeating the Wolf King's forward army, even if they were to fight against them, they would most likely be frightened and disperse before the battle began. If Ji Tianqing hadn't left such a heavy shadow on them during the process of integrating into Dark Fire, there would be doubts as to whether Song Zining could bring out as many as 3,000 people.
After the great victory, everyone saw Song Zining's skill in using troops like a god, and saw Qianye's bravery in defeating the werewolf count. Moreover, in this battle, Ji Tianqing, who was playing a life-and-death game against them, had not yet gone out to fight, and was sitting in the rear guarding the city.
Mercenaries have simple wisdom and know that following such people will have a future and hope.
The surviving mercenaries who returned from victory, including strong men like Ice Wolf, did not truly recognize their identity as Darkfire mercenaries until this moment.
The soldiers returning to the city needed rest and treatment. Song Zining threw all these trivial matters to Guan Zhongliu who came after hearing the news. Guan Zhongliu has commanded the city guards for many years and is very skilled in handling these logistical military affairs.
And his arrival also means a subtle change in Ji Rui's attitude. Although the fat man didn't stand up, one foot had already arrived.
In the military conference room at this moment, Song Zining did not have the joy of winning the first battle on his face. He just frowned and looked at the map attentively, marking the marching route of the Wolf King from the interrogation. Ji Tianqing crossed her arms across her chest and watched quietly from the side, also thoughtfully.
The heavy casualties were actually expected. Song Zining's original plan was to temper these mercenaries through a series of wars so that they could grow up in blood and fire as quickly as possible. Those who can survive **** battles will naturally become stronger and stronger. Neutral land lacks everything but desperadoes.
Song Zining suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "According to the Wolf King's behavior, if he draws on the power of his ancestors, he will probably not have the patience to wait and will first come to Nan Qingcheng to see and fight."
Ji Tianqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have to think about such a trivial matter? Wouldn't it be easy to figure it out?"
Song Zining frowned and said: "There was an accident a few days ago. Now I can't use the art of deducing the secrets of heaven for the time being."
Ji Tianqing was quite surprised. She glanced at Qianye and Song Zining each and said angrily: "You guys just know how to calculate this and that every day, and something will happen sooner or later. Especially this guy, and It’s best not to touch anything related to him. You deserve to be taught a lesson, right?”
Qianye was startled when he saw Ji Tianqing pointing at him, "What does it have to do with me?"
"You know what you have done!"
Qianye was even more confused, but at the moment he was concerned about another thing and asked Song Zining, "Do you want it?"
Showing his signature calm smile, Qi Shao said: "It's just a folding fan that was damaged, and the skills related to the secret deduction have slightly deteriorated. Maybe it will be fine again in a few months, so why worry?"
He said there was no need to worry, but Qianye knew that was definitely not the case. For people like them whose cultivation level is still low at the moment, it is the time to make rapid progress. A few months were enough for Qianye to open another force vortex and reach level fourteen. Song Zining's cultivation speed has never been much slower than Qianye's. Now it will take several months to return to his original state, which shows how serious the damage was.
Qianye doesn’t know much about the art of deriving heavenly secrets, but he does know some basic principles. Basically, the more powerful the object of calculation is, or the more widely involved it is, the more difficult it is to calculate, or the price will be heavy. If you meet someone like Lin Xitang, calculating his affairs is equivalent to an invisible fight.
Qianye knows very well how many people are involved in him, including Lin Xitang, Zhao Weihuang, Ye Tong, Black Wing King, and so on. If Song Zining is really calculating things related to him, no matter how amazing his talent is, the risk will never be small.
But when he wanted to speak, Qianye didn't know what to say. Song Zining is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, but his temperament is the same as Qianye's. He would rather break than bend. Others cannot persuade him to do what he believes in.
"Don't talk about this, if the Wolf King arrives early." At this point, Song Zining frowned again. Normally, he would habitually analyze and reason, as well as divine secrets, to corroborate each other. But now that the link of divine deduction is missing, I always feel that something is missing, and I feel secretly weak.
"Forget it, let me do it!" Ji Tianqing had an extra black jade sign in his hand, threw it on the table, took a look and said: "He is already on the way."
Song Zining breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of Tianji Derivation, he felt confident. His eyes flashed and he said: "We must ensure that he can come and not leave. We must severely injure him in this battle!"
Ji Tianqing couldn't help but said: "He must have come to test the truth when he left the army. If something doesn't look good, he will definitely run away. If the Wolf King is a tough man, he will not surrender."
"How to make him stay and fight to the death depends on Qianye."
Qianye frowned, "What can I do?"
"How do I know? It depends on you. If the Wolf King retreats and joins the army, it will be much more difficult to fight."
Qianye was still waiting to say anything more when Song Zining patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think slowly, I have to arrange something."
Ji Tianqing also walked out. Before leaving, he said to Qianye: "Think quickly, the Wolf King will be here soon."
Song Zining and Ji Tianqing all left, leaving only Qianye in the room. From what they said, they wanted Qianye to provoke the generals and force the Wolf King to stay and fight to the death. However, provoking and scolding has never been Qianye's strong point. He thought for a long time but didn't know how to proceed. Seeing that it was already late, he went out and rushed to the city wall defense line.
At this moment, the sky was covered with clouds, and a black spot appeared in the distant sky, flying quickly towards Nan Qingcheng. In the blink of an eye, the black spot was one kilometer away from Nan Qingcheng, and a figure appeared, it was the Wolf King. He was condescending, overlooking the entire Nan Qing City, with no concealment of murderous intent in his blood-red eyes.
The Wolf King's figure was fixed, and the ballistae in the two turrets at the head of Nanqing City rotated accordingly, aiming at the Wolf King.
The Wolf King's eyebrows twitched slightly, and there was a faint stinging pain. This was the feeling of being locked by the ballista. At this moment, in the eyes of the Wolf King, Nanqing City seemed busy and chaotic, and the wounds of the recent war had not yet been healed. However, the force movement in the city was integrated, and there were several powerful auras lurking, so it was obvious that they were ready.
The Wolf King's face was gloomy. The defense of Nan Qing City was far beyond his expectation. Moreover, this prepared posture clearly indicated that he was relying on the city's defense to compete with the strong. This shows that the people in charge in the city have long anticipated his arrival, and have completed the arrangements in a short period of time, waiting for him to take the bait.
For a moment, the Wolf King was also hesitant. In addition to Qianye, there is now another Song Zining in Nanqing City. This person's reputation in the empire is even greater than that of Qianye. The Wolf King has seen Song Zining's life and deeds in the past few days. Although it is not much, it makes him secretly shocked. Especially since this person had a profound background and was very good at strategizing, it was difficult for the Wolf King to make up his mind whether he really wanted to kill Qi Shao.
If the Seventh Young Master dies, maybe the Song clan will try their best to take revenge. Although the Wolf King himself is not afraid, all the hidden connections with the empire over the years must have been uprooted, and the losses will not be small.
But even though the Wolf King is here, it would be inappropriate to retreat without a fight. He changed his mind and decided that if Song Zining didn't know how to appreciate him, he would simply kill him.
As soon as he made up his mind, he saw a figure rising from Nanqing City. Who could it be if it wasn't Qianye?
Qianye pointed at the Wolf King from afar and shouted: "Wolf King! Since we are here, why hide your head and shrink your tail? If you want to fight, just fight!"
With Qianye pointing his nose at him and calling him "Zhen" like this, the Wolf King couldn't save his face no matter what, so he snorted and showed his body. A tall dark red shadow rose behind him, tens of meters high, like a huge ghost in the night, overlooking the entire Nanqing City.
Now that he has appeared, the Wolf King simply makes the noise louder to frighten his opponents, especially Ji Rui. What is rare for such a huge shadow is that it can move in the same way as the main body, which is not a method that a **** general can have.
Ji Rui was timid and fearful by nature. After seeing the Wolf King's methods, he didn't dare to fight if something went wrong, so he became the most important fighting force in Nan Qingcheng.
However, the Wolf King did not expect that he had just set up his stance, and before he could utter any subsequent threats, Qianye suddenly erupted and rushed in front of him. He punched the chest with a powerful punch. Come!
The Wolf King was furious and punched back.
The two fists collided, and the Wolf King felt that the impact was much greater than expected, almost no weaker than him. The Wolf King groaned and couldn't help but retreat a little.
Qianye only retreated more than ten meters, looked at the Wolf King with sneers and contempt in his eyes, and then turned around and flew back to Nanqing.
There was a sudden noise in Nanqing City, and countless people pointed at the Wolf King.
The Wolf King suddenly felt bad. When he looked back, he saw that the huge shadow was slowly disintegrating. Qianye's punch actually destroyed his illusion!
