Monarch of Evernight: Sixty-eight, smoke is everywhere
bsp;Across the land, a disaster is spreading.
The locals can't even describe the origin and beginning of the disaster. They only remember countless strange beasts rushing out of the forests and mountains, leaving no grass growing wherever they passed. They have extraordinary fighting power. Ordinary ferocious beasts are no match for them. Not to mention lone human hunters, even small-scale troops cannot withstand all-round attacks from the air, ground and behind.
At this moment, the Nangong family was in chaos. In the study room of the main house, an elegant man in his early thirties looked at the table full of urgent documents, his eyebrows already furrowed. The latest documents that were brought in have not been opened and reviewed.
He sighed, and as soon as he picked up an urgent report, hurried footsteps sounded outside the study. His entourage forgot to knock on the door, and rushed straight in, shouting: "Master, something bad has happened! Luoyin The city fell!"
"Luoyin City!" The man felt a buzz in his head, and his time went blank.
He managed to calm down and said: "How did it fall? Where are the defenders? What did they do?"
"The alien beasts came too fast, and there were too many of them! The defenders couldn't stop them! Seeing the city destroyed, City Lord Xu Ze said that he would die with the city, and sent his confidants to break through and deliver this information."
The man opened the document and saw several images of exotic animals hastily drawn on it, with brief descriptions below. The handwriting is extremely sloppy, and it was obviously written in a hurry. Half of the document was soaked in blood, and it seemed that the process of sending it out was extremely difficult.
"Where is the messenger?"
"Death at the gate."
The man nodded and said slowly: "Hanyin City has nearly ten thousand defenders and two power towers. It is the most heavily defended town of our Nangong family. It actually fell in one battle! I didn't expect that I had just taken over as the head of the family. , I encountered this kind of thing. This matter is beyond my ability to handle. Let’s call the elders’ meeting.”
He followed the order and was about to leave when the man asked again: "Is there any news from the Imperial Capital?"
"No."
"How many days has our messenger been sent out?" the man asked with a frown.
"Including today, it is already the fifth day."
"Strange... Let's call the elders for a meeting."
After a while, all the elders in the master's house gathered in the meeting hall. The man sat at the head and said: "Thanks to the trust of all the elders, I, Nangong Duanfang, have been elected to take over as the head of the family. I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am suddenly faced with such a big event. What should I do? It’s hard to decide. This moment is a matter of life and death for our Nangong family, so please make a decision together.”
After that, he distributed a series of urgent documents and materials.
Some of the elders even held their positions and took a sip of tea before opening the file. After just one glance, they spat out the tea in their mouths.
"Hanyin fell?"
"Is Yong Ye coming to invade?"
"Look at this, what kind of monsters are these? I have lived for more than eighty years, but I have never seen one before."
"How could so much place be lost? This, this, the family industry, hasn't half of the family property been lost?"
The elders were talking a lot, and when it became quieter, an older elder said: "Duan Fang, you are the head of the family now, and you should make a decision on such a big matter. How about I hear your opinion first?"
Nangong Duanfang sighed and said: "I thought that this was the biggest crisis that my Nangong family has faced since the battle of Tiangui Iron Curtain."
All the elders nodded. In the Battle of the Iron Curtain of Heaven and Ghost, the Nangong family lost mostly their reputation and some elite soldiers, but this time, their roots were about to be dug up. The land that was hit by the beast tide was the land that had existed with the Nangong family for hundreds of years. Xu Ze, who fell with Hanyin City, was also one of the few truly strong men in the Nangong family.
After seeing the reactions of the elders, Nangong Duanfang said: "My idea is to withdraw the entire family from the territory and retreat to the central part of the continent, where I will join forces with the Hou family, Liao family, Changsun and other aristocratic families to stick to a small area. , waiting for imperial reinforcements."
Before he finished speaking, the elders started cooking.
"Evacuate? Isn't this giving up the inheritance of our ancestors to others?"
"Since Nangong set foot on the mainland, I have never experienced such humiliation!"
"That's right! Without a foundation, what kind of family can we call a top-class family?"
Nangong Duanfang and other elders poured out their anger. Fang said: "The land will not grow away. If we withdraw now, the loss will only be this year's harvest. At most, we will add some buildings. These are all Money can solve it. With our Nangong family’s accumulation over hundreds of years, reconstruction is not difficult.”
"What about that person? What to do with so many people?"
Nangong Duanfang said calmly: "The people are easier to deal with. They are not named Nangong, and they can die without any damage. When we come back, buy more slaves, especially young women, and then encourage the tribe to have more children. Within a generation, the people will be replenished."
He paused and said: "But if we stay here and refuse to leave, then within three days, these strange beasts will come to the city. By then, no one can leave. Elders, please be careful Look at the information at hand and see what characteristics these monsters have?"
The elders immersed themselves in studying the information for a while, and then someone said: "There are those who have time, there are land, and there are those who dig underground. Well, there are those with speed, and there are those with good physical strength. This kind of people with strong strength and thick armor, aren't they? Attack the enemy? It just lacks long range..."
Another person said: "With so many flying monsters, what kind of remote control is needed?"
An elder was suddenly surprised: "Isn't this the army?"
Nangong Duanfang said: "They are the army, at least judging from their current performance, that's how they are."
All the elders were silent. Everyone knew the difference between the beast herd and the army. Each of these monsters is equivalent to a warrior with Force cultivation. The various arms have a clear division of labor and a tacit cooperation. Their number is as high as one hundred thousand. It can be said that such a large army swept across the Nangong family's territory effortlessly.
The elder said: "The Nangong family is really lucky to have Duanfang as its head. Yuanbo has him, well, let's not mention it. Now let's take a vote and see if we want to give up the territory."
After a moment, a group of arms were raised.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting hall was a little low, Nangong Duanfang stood up and said loudly: "Why do you need to worry? Our Nangong family has accumulated hundreds of years, has countless secrets, and has a full library of secret law inheritance. Nangong's children are all over the world! As long as The Nangong family is still in our hands. It only takes fifty years, so why not worry about creating a top-grade family?"
The impassioned words immediately made the blood of all the elders boil, and the long-lost passion rekindled.
"To the extreme, to the extreme! This background is exactly why we are a top-class family."
"Back then, when Duke Zhao led the He clan to explore the Western Continent, it was a waste of time. Without that day, how could the Zhao family be so prosperous today?"
"The Zhao family can do it, so why can't our Nangong family? If we don't even have this courage, how can we talk about the great cause of being promoted to the family? We can't stay in the cross-continent. At worst, we will also go to the Western Continent, where there is still a large area of land in the dark race. in hand."
Seeing that morale was ready, Nangong Duan conveniently issued a series of orders and began to arrange evacuation. Among these orders, there was a seemingly inconspicuous order, which was to recruit young people from all over the country to join the army and join the garrison, open arsenals, distribute equipment, give them basic weapons, and then defend their homes.
This order may not seem like much, but after reading the information on the alien beasts, the elders all knew that these rabble were definitely no match for the alien beast army. Letting them resist on the spot is nothing more than buying time for the direct line of the Nangong family and its branches to evacuate.
With this order, it is conceivable that the people under the command will suffer heavy casualties, and may even be slaughtered after angering the alien beasts. However, all the elders ignored this order intentionally or unintentionally, and dispersed, busy with their own evacuation arrangements.
Without the barrier of the Nangong family, there was no obstacle for the alien beast army on Yuelu. From then on, they moved straight in, killing all the way to the core of the continent. At the center of Yuelu, several aristocratic families had gathered together, surrounding several A fortress city has established a complete defense system, quietly waiting for the arrival of the alien beast army. As for how many territorial citizens were killed or injured, whether it was millions or tens of millions, no one cared.
Compared with the Yuelu, where people are in trouble, the situation in the Western Continent is much better. The location where the door appears is right between the Zhao Clan, the Dark Race and the Beifu Legion garrison. This area was originally a stalemate in the war between the two sides, and both the Empire and Yongye had accumulated heavy troops here.
Lin Xitang's promotion and disappearance were extremely sudden. Not only was the Beifu Army not reorganized, it didn't even have time to change its location. The fate of this legion is not an easy decision. If one is not good, both sides will be incompetent in front of the emperor and the military, so the matter has been delayed and is temporarily under the control of Cheng'en Gong Zhao Weihuang. Anyway, no one dares to do anything less. their supplies.
When the alien beast army appeared in the Western Continent, it fully demonstrated the characteristics of indiscriminate attacks. It is not clear what they were based on, and they immediately divided into two groups to attack the Empire and Yong Ye respectively. But after the troops were divided, the offensive power of each route was greatly reduced. And Yongye's side has been able to fight against Zhao Clan and Lin Xitang for many years, and the troops are led by famous figures. Therefore, although the incident happened suddenly, the two camps took their time, gradually retreated, blocked layer by layer, continuously killed and wounded strange beasts, and weakened the number of opponents.
After several days of fighting, although the empire's soldiers suffered tens of thousands of casualties, they finally eliminated tens of thousands of alien beast legions, and only a few alien beasts fled to the mainland.
It seems that the losses are not big, but the Zhao family and the Beifu Legion lost all their most elite warriors, and it is not that easy to replenish them. The only good news is that the strong lose very little.
There is also a door on the floating land. However, the floating land that has just been baptized by the fire of war can be said to be full of fortresses, and the garrison is also an elite force. Therefore, in just a few days, all the strange beasts that appeared in the door were wiped out. Just because the door appeared in a misty forest, the imperial garrison didn't know where the strange beast came from.
While the empire itself was experiencing frequent catastrophes, Yonglu's God-given land was fighting very easily. Qianye had personally entered the door and knew what was behind the door, so he was fully prepared. When the barrier disappeared and the alien beast army appeared, nearly half a million troops were waiting for them outside the fog area!
Although this unit is poorly trained, and many werewolf warriors only know the most basic battlefield commands, they have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. Werewolves are also natural warriors, and this is even more obvious in a battle where wildness has the upper hand, two or three. A werewolf can deal with a strange beast. Qianye also made targeted defensive arrangements on the position, and there were enough anti-air forces in the deep zone.
After the alien beast army appeared, they were all killed in less than a day. (https:)
