Monarch of Evernight: The appointment of 1843
bsp;For the two monarchs, it was barely acceptable to be treated differently by the Throne of Blood. Eternal Flame also controls the famous spear, and its own strength is superior to everyone. Even in a neutral place, the Blood Throne is still at a disadvantage. Moreover, the Eternal Flame only lasts for three days, so this requirement can be easily met.
The requirements of Eternal Flame are not excessive, and they are willing to accept some restrictions. They are also wary of the strength of the Blood Throne. He himself is not afraid of the Blood Throne, but now there are a large number of demons operating in the neutral land. If the two sides really want to fight, even the Eternal Flame will be difficult to keep all the clan members safe.
Shattered Fleeting Time is famous for being fatal with one strike. Even if the Eternal Flame is nearby, there is no way to save him.
The most difficult thing to accept when the Eternal Flame and the Throne of Blood reached a compromise was that neither Metanzo nor Lothar knew what the Eternal Flame was going to do in these three days. Although the Nerubians and the Vampires each have their own troops entering the neutral ground, except for the two great lords, who has the ability to monitor the Eternal Flame?
It is too easy for a demon to make small moves behind his back.
The more this happens, the more curious Metanzo and Lothar become as to why the demon must take these two extra quotas.
Having reached an agreement with the Throne of Blood, the fleets of the three races merged into one and went deep into the neutral land. The two ships of Metanzo and Lothar stayed at the outer edge of the neutral ground, waiting for the results of the operation.
The news of the arrival of the Evernight Alliance quickly spread throughout the neutral land. For a time, all the forces, large and small, were like frightened birds, retreating completely, hiding in their lairs and not daring to come forward. I don’t know which channel came out that the demon giant Eternal Flame is in the Evernight Alliance fleet and has penetrated into the neutral ground.
Hearing this news, the strong men in the entire neutral land were all silent, and no one had any extra thoughts. No matter how many restrictions the demons have in the neutral land, no matter how familiar these strong men are with the neutral land, they are still no match for a king who wields a famous gun. Since the war hundreds of years ago, there has never been such a majestic and dignified visit to a neutral place by Lord Yongye.
For a while, while shrinking, many people openly and implicitly scolded the Blood Throne and refused the Heavenly King from the country. This was the rule set by the Blood Throne. But now that the Eternal Burning Flame has come, Blood Isn’t Throne equally cowardly?
These people have forgotten that when Yong Ye was about to occupy the entire neutral land, it was the man who appeared out of nowhere and killed Yong Ye's army with blood flowing into rivers. They were forced to retreat, and only then did they have the Blood Throne. , and then there was a rule that the kings and heavenly kings were not allowed to enter.
Whether they were frightened or gloating about their misfortune, Yongye's huge fleet was like a dark cloud covering the sky, slowly but surely passing through the neutral ground and flying straight to the East China Sea.
The news also reached Nan Qingcheng, and the leaders of all parties in the empire gathered around Song Zining, wanting to ask for a countermeasure. Only at this moment did they truly realize how indispensable Song Zining was. The future military **** of the empire is not just a boastful name, it is a genuine praise supported by many past achievements. At this critical moment, even if the future military **** is also a military god, it can always give people some psychological comfort.
The combat command room was crowded with people, and people with some connections tried their best to squeeze in, wanting to hear for themselves how Song Zining would respond.
It wasn't until ten minutes after the scheduled meeting time that Song Zining arrived late. He passed through the crowd, came to the conference table, sat down at the head of the table without hesitation, and said: "This is indeed a critical moment. As the commander of this battle, I should plan a strategy to retreat from the enemy. However, in What good does this young master do before making plans?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
As the head coach of one side, but he openly asked for benefits before the war, Song Zining was a pioneer in the empire. At that moment, an old man was filled with righteous indignation and stood up, shouting: "This is unreasonable! The empire has given you great power and fame, what more benefits do you want?! If every soldier is like you, then what will happen to the empire? Why Liguo? You are not afraid of bringing shame to the ancestors of the Song Dynasty?"
Some people agreed, some shook their heads, and some even stood up and tugged at the old man, saying softly: "Don't be impatient for a moment. Let's listen to what the Seventh Young Master has to say. It won't be too late to discuss it later."
The old man said angrily: "What else are you listening to? He is acting perversely! How can we let such a person steal a high position again?"
Someone's face darkened and he said coldly: "Elder Lu, it doesn't matter if your Lu family is not afraid of death, we still want our wealth and our lives! If the seventh young master is replaced, who else can sit in this position? Can it be you?" Hehe, I’m not looking down on you, but even if you want to sit in this position, no one will listen to you, right?”
Someone sneered and said: "Elder Lu, what are your intentions in not letting Qi Shao speak? Your Lu family only has a small amount of wealth, so it won't be a big deal if you lose it all. But there are many people here who have big businesses. They are all counting on Qi Shao!"
Elder Lu suddenly felt a breath in his chest and was speechless for a moment. He vigorously flicked his robe sleeves and said angrily: "Forget it, I, the Lu family, will not participate, and will return to the empire now!"
However, several people stood up and blocked the door. Elder Lu's expression changed and he said, "Elder Chen, what do you mean?"
On the opposite side was a doughy old man, who smiled and said: "Brother Lu, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Besides, if you leave like this, wouldn't you be wronged if any secrets are leaked in the future? Brother, why don’t you stay for a while and then return to the empire together?”
Elder Lu’s face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Are you going to put me under house arrest?”
Elder Chen laughed and said: "We all work for the empire, what are you saying? If Elder Lu really wants to leave, we will never stop him. But if something happens to the Lu family in the future, we can Not good."
The threat in these words was obvious. Elder Lu snorted, returned to his seat and sat down, without saying another word.
Elder Chen bowed his hand to Song Zining and said: "Seventh Young Master wants benefits, and there is a reason for that. But everyone is somewhat confused as to whether Seventh Young Master wants to tell you why he wants this benefit. As long as what you say is reasonable, we will give you money if you want someone or money."
Song Zining said with a smile: "Elder Chen is a sensible person. Let's put it this way. I have left the Song Dynasty. I have been a little tight lately and I need some money and food. Is it okay?"
Elder Chen said without thinking: "It turns out that the Seventh Young Master wants a salary, okay! My Chen family will pay 10,000 gold coins first, and the Seventh Young Master will spend it first."
Elder Chen made such a cheerful statement, which surprised everyone. However, after everyone thought for a moment, they understood, and someone immediately said: "My Wei family is offering eight thousand gold coins."
At this time, Elder Li suddenly said: "I pay 100,000 gold coins to the Tang Li family."
As soon as these words came out, the conference room was silent for a while. The Li family is a high-class family and has always had the ambition to become a powerful family. As the commander of the Li family in a neutral place, Elder Li is also willing to pay, and the amount is quite large. The meaning of this is worthy of careful consideration.
At this time, Eunuch Zhang also said: "The funds in the palace are all your Majesty's money, and our family has no right to embezzle it. However, in the past few decades, our family has accumulated some wealth, which is not comparable to that of the Li family. It is only a mere Fifty thousand, I hope Qi Shao won’t dislike it.”
Everyone was shocked again. Even Eunuch Zhang from the Imperial Palace made such a statement. Although he didn't know what Song Zining wanted the money for, it was already clear what he should do. At present, many families are vying to be the first to contribute money. Those who had reported the number before felt that it was a little short, and hurriedly changed their minds and added more. In the blink of an eye, nearly a million dollars was collected.
Elder Lu was restless at the moment. He had already seen that he was probably being used as a **** to test Song Zining's reaction. As the Li family and the Imperial Palace successively expressed their stance, the situation has become clear, while the Lu family has clearly been sacrificed and abandoned.
His face turned red and white, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "My Lu family is weak, but I am willing to contribute, just 20,000!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and the meeting room was filled with joy.
After the fun, everyone gradually became quiet and looked at Song Zining, waiting for the next step. Song Zining was not in a hurry, and turned to Eunuch Zhang and asked: "I wonder when I will receive the money? If the gold coins are not enough, it doesn't matter if I use treasures to cover it."
All the aristocratic families were stunned. They didn't expect Song Zining to be so shameless. However, Eunuch Zhang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "No one would carry those burdens with them, so of course it is a treasure. We have a top-quality jade in our hands, which was given by the late emperor. I think it is worth five or six dollars." Wan, how about giving it to Qi Shao?”
Song Zining cupped his hands and smiled: "Why are you so embarrassed?"
Eunuch Zhang said: "If the Seventh Young Master refuses, he means he doesn't take our family seriously."
"Oh, I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself!" Song Zining shook his head, took the jade and put it in his arms. Look at that crisp and clean energy, how can you look like you deserve it?
Everyone realized that empty talk might not work, and they would inevitably show their cowardice on the spot. So he gritted his teeth and looked for treasures that could be used to redeem his treasures. Suddenly, Song Zining had a pile of treasures in front of him, a dazzling array of treasures.
Song Zining smiled from ear to ear, accepting all comers, and then ordered people to move to his residence. Then he sat upright, coughed, and opened the folding fan, looking like a future military god.
Everyone in the family was more or less bleeding, and they all held their breath, wanting to see what they had bought back at a huge price.
Song Zining, the old god, said in the tunnel: "This time the Yongye three tribes coalition forces, and the Eternal Flames are stationed, are really powerful, naturally we cannot fight head-on, and must temporarily avoid the front."
Nowadays, many people are secretly cursing nonsense. Do you need to say this?
However, Song Zining folded his fan and gently shook his head, saying: "Although the Yongye Allied Forces are powerful, they cannot last long. In my opinion, we should withdraw from Nanqing City first, retreat 300 kilometers to camp, and wait for three days. After three days, the eternal burning flame will leave. At that time, it is not too late to decide whether to fight or defend."
Everyone was shocked, and some people couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Seventh Young Master conclude that the Eternal Flame will leave in three days?"
Song Zining said with a smile: "This is a secret and must not be leaked. I will know whether what I said is right or wrong in three days."
