Monarch of Evernight: One hundred and four bloodline seeds
bsp;A sudden roar sounded from inside the aerostat: "Get out of here! Let me come!"
Wei Potian pushed the gunner away, sat down in the firing position himself, then adjusted the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at a fleeing lieutenant colonel. Just now, the gunner failed to hit two consecutive shots, which made Wei Potian extremely dissatisfied. He had been eyeing this guy from the beginning, how could he let him escape so easily?
However, Wei Potian's shot went further away from the target. At this time, the ground was full of smoke and fire, and in the already deep night, the dense fog distorted the vision. The lieutenant colonel disappeared in the blink of an eye, making Wei Potian beat his legs and curse.
Floating battleships are simply invincible when used on this kind of battlefield, and their thick armor is difficult to penetrate even with an eagle attack. It floated in the air, several naval guns still roaring, and it was a complete one-sided massacre of the expeditionary force directly below.
The expeditionary troops all over the mountains and plains were fleeing. Wei Potian grabbed his followers and shouted: "Catch them all in one fell swoop. No one is allowed to escape. Do you hear me?!"
The attendant smiled bitterly and said: "Master, there are only a hundred of us, and we still have to leave someone to look after the aeroplane."
Wei Potian let out a "hum". His anger after seeing the battlefield below finally calmed down a little. He naturally knew that it was impossible to hunt down thousands of deserters in the wild with a hundred people, so he said: "Then Just grab more live ones and pick the officers!”
"Yes!"
As Wei Potian gave the order, the floating battleship began to descend rapidly. When it was a hundred meters away from the ground, the elite guards of the Wei family each grabbed the halyard and jumped out directly. At a height of 20 to 30 meters, they released the rope and rolled when they landed, dissipating all the force of the fall. Then they all jumped up and chased after the defeated soldiers.
Qianye stood on the wall and gestured for his troops to gather together. At this time, all the soldiers under his command were exhausted and there was really no energy left to cooperate with the pursuit. If someone chases him out desperately, he might be eaten in one bite.
The floating battleship slowed down and finally hovered fifty meters in the air. Wei Potian jumped out of the cabin and hit the ground with a plop. Amidst the deafening noise, even the town wall seemed to shake. In the billowing smoke and dust, only a flash of yellow light was seen, and Wei Potian stood up as if nothing had happened and strode towards Qianye.
For a moment, everyone in and outside the town was impressed by Wei Potian's fierce appearance, except for Qianye. His nerves, which had been tense all day and night, suddenly relaxed and he even felt like laughing. With his night vision ability, he naturally saw that Wei Potian's face was abnormally pale. Fifty meters was a little high for any soldier who couldn't take off.
After a long distance, Wei Potian raised his throat and shouted: "Qianye, are you okay!?"
Qianye jumped off the town wall and said, "You are fine, how could I be fine?"
Wei Potian suddenly had a bad feeling of being caught, but it was just a slight blush on his face. Then he strode up to Qianye as if nothing had happened, looked him up and down, and said with a click: " Look at your face and your injuries. How can you call it okay?"
"If you could have arrived a day earlier, none of this would have happened."
Wei Potian immediately scratched his messy hair and said, "How could I have imagined this? Being able to arrive on time, well... that's what it should be." What he said was extremely guilty. In fact, this This time he arrived nearly two hours later than scheduled.
Qianye's indifferent expression suddenly melted away like spring snow in the sun, and he smiled: "If I didn't know you would come, I wouldn't be able to hold on now!"
"We are indeed brothers!" After saying that, Wei Potian rushed forward and gave Qianye a heavy bear hug.
A Wei family guard emerged from the shadows and said, "Master, we caught some alive. Do you want to see them?"
Wei Potian had a murderous look on his face and said, "Okay! I'm just about to see who is so bold and dares to touch my brother!"
After a moment, more than a dozen lieutenants were pushed in front of Wei Potian, but the highest ranking among them was just a captain.
This number and level were beyond Wei Potian's expectation, and he immediately became angry, "That's it? Where are the school officers? Don't tell me that there are several regiments here, and there aren't even any school officers!" Is it possible that you can’t even defeat a captain of the expeditionary force?”
The guard smiled bitterly and said: "Master, I just asked, and they said that the proportion of officers killed in battle in the past two days was particularly high, and the number of casualties at the colonel level even exceeded two-thirds. So we can still catch these people, It’s already quite difficult.”
"Two thirds!" This number also shocked Wei Potian. He had been on the battlefield before. The level of battle damage meant that one side had a suppressive individual strike capability.
The guard glanced at Qianye, with a vague awe in his eyes, and said: "It is said that most of them died at the hands of your friend, Master."
Wei Potian turned to look at Qianye and yelled: "Okay, boy! This is better than me!"
Qianye just glanced at him, his expression clearly saying, isn't it normal to be better than you? The despised Prince Wei immediately began to brag about his great achievements unconvinced.
Qianye smiled and listened quietly. With the eldest son of the Wei family, who looked like a dandy most of the time, by his side, even if he stood on a **** battlefield, he could not help but feel much more relaxed.
After Wei Potian finished his addiction, he walked up to the group of prisoners, and the smile on his face had completely disappeared. All the prisoners were forced to kneel on the ground and lined up.
Wei Potian walked from left to right, then from right to left, and finally stopped in front of a bearded captain with an unruly face.
This officer was a tough guy. Before Wei Potian could speak, he spat out a mouthful of **** phlegm and said, "This is the territory of the Expeditionary Force, and I am an active officer of the Expeditionary Force! Boy, I don't care about you. Is it the Wei family or some other high-ranking family? I would like to advise you, don’t act recklessly on Yongye Continent, this is not a place for children to play house!”
Wei Potian had his arms folded in front of his chest, with a calm expression on his face. He listened carefully to what he said, then nodded and said, "That makes sense." Then he shouted in a low voice, "Someone, take this Kill me!"
A guard nearby heard the sound and immediately stepped forward, pulled out a pistol and put it against the captain's head. When he saw Wei Potian nodding slightly, he pulled the trigger. With a bang, the captain's head burst open immediately, and brains and blood sprayed all over the people on the left and right. The prisoners stirred for a moment, then fell silent.
With still no expression on his face, Wei Potian took a step across and stood in front of a lieutenant next to him.
The lieutenant immediately said repeatedly: "I will say! I will say anything!"
"But I'm not interested in listening!" Wei Potian said coldly, raised his hand and made a gesture before walking towards the next person.
The Wei family guards came up and shot the lieutenant's head off.
Wei Potian passed several people this time, and finally stopped in front of a very young second lieutenant. He stared at him for a while, and then said slowly: "The rank of the expeditionary force is nothing in my eyes. That can only scare children."
The young lieutenant's face turned pale, and his clenched teeth were trembling slightly, for fear that any unnecessary noise would lead to death.
Wei Potian then said: "Tell me, what happened tonight?"
The second lieutenant immediately told everything he knew. In fact, he had no access to many secrets behind it. The real purpose of the cross-border attack on the mine belonging to the 10th Division's defense area could not be communicated to the second lieutenant's level. The most useful information he gave was nothing more than the serial number of the unit, the time of troop mobilization and the superficial excuse for the operation.
Wei Potian nodded, then pointed to an officer next to him who kept winking at the second lieutenant, and said without any fluctuation in his tone: "I don't like this guy, so I'll kill him too."
The Wei family guards stepped forward without hesitation and shot him.
As a result, all the officers of the expeditionary force were silent, and no one dared to make any small moves.
Qianye stood aside and watched. This was the first time he saw Wei Potian showing his decisive and ruthless side. The eldest son of the Wei family, who was remembered as a carefree yet innocent person, was able to stand out early because of his talent and his ability to manage the world.
After dealing with these prisoners, the guards of the Wei family who went to hunt down the deserters also returned one after another. Wei Potian then assigned guards to help clean up the battlefield and rescue the injured, while he himself took Qianye around to patrol. When he saw the surviving young seeds, especially the two brothers Wu Shiqing and Wu Shiying, an old man from the Wei family who followed Wei Potian also looked very surprised.
The old man waited for Wei Potian and Qianye to leave the place where the seeds were settled, and then said: "These are no ordinary seeds! No wonder Wu Zhengnan is desperate and refuses to let them live no matter what."
Wei Potian asked curiously: "The seeds are also different?"
The old man of the Wei family stroked his beard and said: "Master, you see there are more than a dozen front-line soldiers in this batch of seeds. That's fine, but if my eyesight is not blurry, these young people have their own brilliance with the Force. Different, they obviously have different abilities. And since they are selected as seeds, it means that they are all naturally generated after igniting the nodes, rather than the changes in the force attributes caused by practicing secret techniques. Everyone is a blood seed!”
"Bloodline seeds? So many?" Wei Potian understood after hearing this. He looked at Qianye and knew that Qianye might not understand this kind of thing related to the deep mystery of the force, so he gave a brief explanation .
The so-called bloodline seed's own ability is not important. The dark race has many methods that allow them to strengthen their reproduction, shorten the growth time of each generation, and then enhance their bloodline capabilities little by little through the screening and accumulation of countless samples. Maybe in a few hundred years, a new subspecies with special abilities will emerge.
It is precisely for this reason that the value of bloodline seeds is far higher than that of ordinary seeds, let alone slaves. Generally, if a caravan contains one or two bloodline seeds, it is considered a big business. It is quite rare for more than a dozen bloodline seeds to appear like this all at once, and they are all young people.
The old man of the Wei family said: "These seeds are not easy to come by. It is impossible to collect so many in the area of Wuzhengnan District. Perhaps several surrounding divisions participated to form a caravan of this size. Well, if that’s the case, the information we received shows that the value of the goods traded by the dark race to Wu Zhengnan is too small. In my opinion, there is probably a secret agreement between them."
Wei Potian immediately shouted: "Check! No matter what secret agreement there is, find out for me!"
"Master, this..." The old man looked at Qianye and hesitated to speak.
