Monarch of Evernight: Ninety-nine shadows

bsp;Qianye, who has experienced forty-nine rounds of military battles, has a deeper understanding of power. Now looking at the sky that seems to be an eternal night, there is another emotion in his heart, that is, the rules of the Iron Curtain.

The Iron Curtain restricts entry to counts and above, which is actually easy to understand.

For example, Qianye himself, if a group of ants pass by his feet, no matter whether they are carrying food or fighting, they will not take a second look. Even if they trample one to death, it is because they happened to appear at his foothold. It can only be regarded as bad luck. But if there are a few big bugs hanging around, or even cats, dogs and mice, which make them upset, they will not let them go anymore, but will kill them casually.

This realization made Qianye feel a little uncomfortable, and he thought mockingly to himself that no one would be happy if they found out that they were just an ant that could be ignored in the eyes of others.

Not long after Qianye left seclusion, a special guest arrived in Blackstream City, an imperial envoy.

The special envoy came from the military headquarters and was a colonel. He only brought a few followers with him and asked to see the Lord of Blackstream City. After seeing Qianye, the special envoy didn't say much. He handed him an official document and a reward order, asked a few questions about Blackstream City's defense, then left and rushed to the next place. .

In the eyes of the military envoy, there is nothing special about Blackstream City, and there is even a trace of pity in his eyes. This small town is located at the forefront of the border and under the Iron Curtain. Once a **** battle begins, sooner or later the city will fall.

After the special envoy left, Qianye opened the document and took a look. The content was similar to the summoning order issued by the expeditionary force to each division. This is a mobilization order from the empire calling on all forces to participate in a **** battle. Military merit rewards are twice as high as the normal standard, and there are no status restrictions for participants. Anyone regardless of high or low can receive rewards.

In addition, the empire has set up temporary bases in many places on the Evernight Continent. You can go there with proof of military merit to redeem rewards at any time, eliminating the cumbersome procedures of applying for military merit in the past. One of the nearest bases is located in the county seat of Mikawa County, which is even under the Iron Curtain, which shows that the Imperial Military attaches great importance to this war.

A map is also attached to the official document, which roughly indicates the scope of the Iron Curtain currently controlled by the empire, which is the scope of this battlefield. Of course, it is not impossible to go outside the Iron Curtain and fight the dark races, but it is just possible to meet a truly strong person.

It is not impossible to encounter strong people under the Iron Curtain. Some strong people with special abilities to hide their aura, or those who can suppress levels, can still move under the Iron Curtain. For example, Yu Yangbo of the Zhao Clan entered directly. Black current city.

It’s just that once they start fighting with someone, the fighting time must not be prolonged too long, otherwise they may attract the attention of heavenly ghosts. Not only will their abilities be suppressed by the Iron Curtain, but the higher their level, the more likely they are to attract the attention of heavenly ghosts. Ghost attacks.

Qianye unfolded the map and looked at it carefully. The plotting this time was more detailed than the military intelligence report he got a week ago. When he saw clearly the boundaries of the fourth territory, he couldn't help but be surprised. The Iron Curtain now covers more than a quarter of the human territory, and looking at the curvature of the outer edge, most of the places that are not depicted are still in the Kingdom of Darkness.

Although there is no information from the Kingdom of Darkness, if calculated based on the arc of the outer edge of the human territory, assuming that the complete shape of the Iron Curtain is roughly a circle, that means that more than 20% of the entire Evernight Continent has been The Iron Curtain shrouded.

Based on the size of the Iron Curtain alone, the tyranny of the devil is beyond imagination.

Seeing this map, Qianye suddenly vaguely guessed the thoughts of some of the empire's upper echelons. With the help of the Iron Curtain, it is a good time to attack the Kingdom of Darkness.

Putting down the document and the map, Qianye opened the attached reward list, which listed different rewards according to the various levels of dark race warriors.

With the viscount as the baseline, if you kill a third-class viscount, the reward will be a level 5 force gun, or it can be converted into other arms or resources of equivalent value. If one can firmly occupy a viscount territory and bring it into the human-controlled area, the reward will be increased to a level five customized gun.

Just looking at this list, you can see that the empire spent a lot of money on this war. You must know that there are only so many technicians in the entire empire who can manufacture level five and above firearms, so the annual output of level five guns is generally determined. In the past, military merit rewards were settled in imperial gold coins, which could only be exchanged for strategic resources under extremely special circumstances. As for advanced force firearms, ordinary people who have money can't even buy the standard version, let alone the special version.

Qianye flipped through the two-page list of firearms, feeling a little excited. He now has original wings and twin flowers, and ordinary level six force guns cannot be used. However, there are many senior officers in Dark Fire now. As time goes by, there will be more and more people who can drive level four or even level five guns. If their equipment can be replaced, it goes without saying that their combat power will soar.

The last page of the list only had one short line, but it firmly caught Qianye’s attention. It turned out to be the highest purity black crystal!

Black crystal is a strategic material strictly controlled by the empire. Both the low-purity power-grade black crystal used as fuel and the medium-purity manufacturing-grade black crystal, one of the main materials of the Force gun, are in short supply all year round. The energy-level black crystals that can convert the Dawn Force for cultivation are usually completely priceless and unmarketable. For example, Song Vale's training room consumes this kind of high-purity black crystals.

The empire actually opened the exchange of energy-level black crystals this time, which shows that it has compared the importance of this **** battle on the Evernight Continent with the large-scale battles in the upper continent. Seeing this, even Qianye, who had always been calm, was moved. Although the price of exchanging black crystals is extremely expensive, having such a channel is better than not having one. If he can get some, maybe he can break through the warriors earlier.

As soon as Qianye put down the reward list, Zhao Yuying rushed over.

"How did you gain from this retreat?"

"Not bad, at least we have figured out the next path."

"That's good, how long do you have until you break through the warrior general?"

Qianye smiled bitterly: "At least two months, if you include the fighting time, it will be longer."

Zhao Yuying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't rush to break through, lest your foundation will be unstable. It's best to advance in the marrow washing pool. As for the qualifications, you don't have to worry at all. I will find a way to solve it. No big deal. I will no longer receive money from my family!”

Qianye felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. Zhao Yuying said it easily, but this meant that she had converted all the resources she could obtain from the family into an opportunity to enter the marrow washing pool. But he just nodded and said nothing.

Today, there is no need for any more polite words between Qianye and Zhao Yuying. Even if he does not intend to accept such an expensive gift, he has accepted her heartfelt offer.

Zhao Yuying picked up the document, map and reward list in turn, and put them down after just one glance. The contents therein were not much different from the military orders sent by the expeditionary force. But she seemed to have something else on her mind, but she didn't know how to express it.

Zhao Yuying rarely hesitated like this. Qianye waited quietly without urging. The tough beauty suddenly took a deep breath, uttered a curse word, and then said: "I still want to participate in the **** battle!"

"Why?" Qianye asked.

Given Zhao Yuying's status in the Zhao Clan, there should be no shortage of resources to exchange for her military exploits. There was a lot of unpleasantness about Zhao Fenglei before, but now, the team scheduled to be handed over to her has not yet arrived. In fact, Zhao Yuying was injured and could not engage in fierce fighting for at least several months, so it was logical to withdraw from the war.

"For the Zhao clan."

This answer surprised Qianye.

After saying the words, Zhao Yuying finally said it out loud, "Yes, it is for the Zhao clan. Even if I become like this, I still feel that I am a member of the Zhao clan in my heart. The big tree of the Zhao clan stands tall Only if we don't fall down can we, the children, enjoy the shade underneath. Although there are many people in the family that I don't like, in such a big matter, my surname is still Zhao."

"I understand."

"The intention of this **** battle with the Imperial Party is clear. This is to force the major families to show their cards. In order to reduce the vassal, they will do anything. The empire has been established for thousands of years, and the powerful families have also existed for thousands of years. No time to reduce the vassal, it will not be done. Bloody storm? ”

Qianye didn't understand the political situation of the empire very well, so he was a little confused when he heard it. He frowned and said: "Cutting down the vassals? What does this have to do with the Zhao clan? Even if the four clans are to be moved, the Song clan should be moved first, right?"

Zhao Yuying shook her head, "I, the Zhao clan, have a close relationship with the imperial family, and they are of the same blood. Many queens from our ancestors have the surname Zhao. Your majesty's current throne... is quite special. The descendants are the Jingtang Li family, but The imperial family finally married Princess Gaoyi to Duke Chengen. Therefore, in the eyes of other wealthy families, the Zhao family is an out-and-out imperial party, but in the eyes of the imperial family, we are also full-blooded families."

Qianye suddenly said: "So no matter which side gains power, it is possible to weaken or suppress the Zhao clan? This"

"My grandfather and several uncles have roughly the same view. Most of the clan elders should also think so, so their attitudes towards this **** battle are particularly different."

"Well, increase the reward?"

Zhao Yuying was in a heavy mood, but she laughed angrily when she heard this, reached out and hit Qianye on the head, "I knew the reward was all ruined by Song Qi!"

She then straightened up her expression and said: "The clan has received news that someone in the imperial party wants to take action on the Zhao clan, and may secretly attack our clan's children on the **** battlefield. What the elders want is to kill to stop killing. , not only to gain military glory, but also to kill anyone from any faction who is hostile to our Zhao family if they encounter provocation from within the empire!”

After saying that, Zhao Yuying returned to her carefree look, patted Qianye on the shoulder hard, and said: "So, sister, I am going back to the Western Continent. I will try to recover as soon as possible and come back to fight. Although my combat strength is slightly reduced, I will always Better than ordinary people, Xiao Qianye, just take care of yourself!”

Qianye smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here!"

"What?" Zhao Yuying was startled.

"A token of your participation in the war. Otherwise, if I kill the dark race, how can I credit you with the military merit?" Qianye said matter-of-factly.

"What did you say?" Zhao Yuying could hardly believe her ears.

"I mean, I fight in your name, but the rewards from the Zhao clan and the Imperial Military Headquarters belong to me."

"That won't work, half and half!" Zhao Yuying dismissed fiercely.

"Twenty-eight!"

"Three-seven!"

After a vicious bargaining session on both sides, Zhao Yuying suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and she looked at each other and laughed with Qianye.
