Monarch of Evernight: The choice of Duke 166
bsp;The Grand Duke of the Spider Demon interrupted the old Marquis impatiently and said: "No matter what difficulties you have, I only need to know one thing now. How long do you have to get over it?"
"It will take at least another day."
"One day!?" Aldak's roar was like thunder, covering dozens of kilometers in a radius. Several of the weakest vampires simply couldn't withstand the pressure of the spider demon Grand Duke's rage, and they fainted directly. Fallen in the air.
Ardak didn’t even look at the fallen vampire and continued to roar: “One day is enough for those human reptiles to escape into another of their war zones! You only have one hour! Within an hour, a passage must be opened ! ”
"But we need a complete city"
"A complete city? Whose stupid order is this?"
The old Marquis said: "This is your Majesty's intention."
Akdak suddenly fell silent. Among the vampires, there is only one majesty without any prefix, and that is the Queen of the Night, Lilith.
After a moment, Aldak said coldly: "I heard that your Majesty the Queen had some accidents. She just came back from the depths of the void and was about to fall asleep again. Do you think that at this time, her Can the order still control me? ”
But in this matter, the old Marquis was extremely tough and said: "Your Majesty is not asleep yet. In addition, no matter what state your Majesty is in, you are not allowed to discuss it without authorization."
The Grand Duke of the Spider Demon snorted and did not continue to attack. Maybe when he steps into the throne, he can gain the qualification to criticize the Queen of the Night, but that's all. After all, the spider demon is not a demon descendant. Even the one on the Holy Mountain of the Eternal Night Council will not be willing to conflict with the Queen of Night easily.
Seeing this situation, Aldak knew that it would be difficult for him to command this 100,000 dark army headed by the vampires. If he returned to the base camp to apply for adjustment of command authority, it would take more than half a day to go back and forth. At that time, the enemy He had already run away.
"Who are there in the empire?" Ardak suddenly asked.
The old Marquis did not hide anything and said: "The commander is Weiyuan General Zhang Junshu, and the one who controls the army should be Duke Wei."
Ardak's voice suddenly fluctuated: "Duke Wei? Is he there too?"
The old Marquis said: "Yes, during our last attack, Duke Wei personally stopped us, and then the fire of the city was successfully ignited by the imperial army. I have fought against him before, and I don't know how to look at it. Wrong."
Ardak was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and knocked several vampires out of the air: "Okay, okay, very good! Let me see how much that little guy has grown over the years!"
Amidst the laughter, a person suddenly appeared in front of the old Marquis of the Vampire Race. He was wearing an iron-grey robe and was nearly three meters tall. He looked down at the Vampire Race like a giant.
Wearing several rings on the three fingers of his left hand, the gems the size of pigeon eggs emit gleaming light, which is extremely eye-catching. The eyes of several vampires fell on those rings uncontrollably, and they were immediately trapped, gradually going deeper, as if their entire souls were being absorbed.
The old Marquis' blood energy suddenly expanded, he wrapped up several subordinates with dull expressions, and shouted: "Don't look at the Grand Duke's hands!"
Ardak finally looked at the old Marquis and said, "Although you are old, you are still useful."
The wrinkles on the old Marquis’s face became deeper and he smiled bitterly: “Thank you, Grand Duke, for the compliment.”
Looking at the direction in which the imperial army was retreating, Ardak suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, thundering and thundering, rapidly spreading into the distance.
Ardak's body suddenly swelled, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a huge spider that was more than ten meters tall, with a metallic luster all over his body!
The ends of the eight jointed legs each shoot out countless silk threads, weaving a silk network path in the air, instantly spanning over the burning city of dusk and leading straight ahead. Ardak's huge spider body flashed continuously. With each flash, it would appear a thousand meters away and disappear at the end of the line of sight in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the silk road in the sky began to slowly dissipate.
A sharp and thin voice suddenly sounded inside the battleship: "Grand Duke, battleship!"
Ardak's reply came from the sky: "You are too slow, catch up by yourself!"
The huge warship slowly climbed up, submerged into the clouds, crossed the sky-high flames of the Twilight City, and pursued Aldak in the direction where he disappeared.
It wasn't until the Grand Duke of the Spider Demon's ship disappeared that an earl said gloomily: "Just such a ship chased it? It seems that the human race has been prepared for it, and the floating fleet is not weak."
The old Marquis' expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Your Excellency Aldak has accumulated a lot of experience, which is beyond comparison with ours. If you lose a ship, just rebuild it. It will take decades to make up for the loss of our fleet."
The earl showed a sinister smile. How can the Grand Duke of the Spider Demon's ship be compared with ordinary Vampire battleships? Especially the Grand Duke of the Spider Demon's ship is larger than a standard battleship, and the cost of one is equivalent to most of the Vampire Standard Fleet.
Zhang Zhongjun, the son that Duke Wei Guo had been pondering for a long time finally fell, ending the mess, and then said calmly: "An old friend is here, I will go and meet him for a while."
Zhang Junshu looked to the distant sky. Although he could not see anything, he could feel that where the sky dropped to the horizon, there was a huge and terrifying momentum rising, just like the eve of a storm.
"My lord, you have a noble status and should be careful in everything. It is better to stay in the army." Zhang Junshu did not hide his inner worries. He was only one step away from the divine general, and he could tell that the terrifying aura approaching rapidly in the distance was still above Duke Wei.
Gong Wei stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "Jun Shu, don't forget that we princes are not hereditary patrons. It is our duty to fight decisively on the battlefield."
"Guo Gongye" Zhang Junshu still needs further persuasion.
Gong Wei waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, besides, my death may not be certain if I go here. Don't lose the prestige of our imperial soldiers in front of the battle."
After saying that, Duke Wei flicked his robe sleeves, rose into the air, and appeared in the void outside the cabin the next moment. His figure was graceful, as if he were walking calmly on the flat ground, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and drooping, and are about to even hit the top of the low-flying floating battleship. Zhang Junshu stood still, as if waiting for something.
A moment later, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded on the horizon, and a faint rumble in the distance came to the front in an instant. For a moment, the whole place was filled with rolling thunder, and there was no other sound! Many soldiers who lacked strength only felt dizzy, lost control of their limbs, and fell off the troop transport truck.
Fortunately, each truck was specially assigned to be led by battle-hardened veterans. Even though Lei Yin arrived suddenly, they were still able to barely keep moving, grabbing the swaying person and pulling him back into the truck.
However, after the thunder, the ground began to shake continuously, and the wind in the air became even stronger. Sand and stones flew in the increasingly strong airflow, crackling on the carriage and people. Small pebbles hitting exposed skin will immediately leave little red marks.
The floating fleet was swaying violently in the strong wind, and some small boats were heaving up and down. They were like a lonely boat in the angry sea and could capsize at any time. Even the largest load-carrying ship could not help but sway and struggled to maintain its aerial formation.
Fortunately, Zhang Clan came out with all his elites this time, and the ship operators were all real experts. Even in this natural disaster-like environment, they did not panic and tried their best to control the balance of the ship.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Junshu immediately ordered all small ships to break away from the formation and take off at full speed in order to have more room to maneuver.
There was a strong wind in the air, and the ground surged one after another. Many trucks were lifted into the air!
At this moment, even veterans of the third and fourth levels can only hold on to the carriage tightly to prevent themselves from being thrown out. Once you let go, you will be blown up into the sky by the tornado-like airflow and thrown to no one knows where.
The central flagship shone with a faint yellow light, and a light band composed of several runes pulled out a faint light shield, protecting the entire battleship and blocking out the raging wind.
Zhang Junshu looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, his face as dark as the sky.
All the generals in the command cabin have experienced hundreds of battles, but they couldn't help but be moved when they saw such a shocking change in the world. A major general asked in horror: "General, is this, is this?"
Zhang Junshu exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is the Duke who has already started fighting with the enemy."
The expressions of the generals immediately changed.
Those who can stand next to Zhang Junshu at this moment are all important generals of Zhang clan and the empire. Everyone has the experience of participating in the national war. Most of the generals had seen battles at the level of **** generals, and Wei Guogong had been holding down the army for a long time and had taken action several times before, so everyone found it even more thrilling. You know, even if Wei Guogong takes action with all his strength, he will not be so powerful.
If this strange movement in the world is not Duke Wei, then it is naturally the enemy who is chasing after him. Just from this point of view. Not only is Wei Guogong at a disadvantage, but he is also afraid that the odds are against him.
Zhang Junshu clenched and released his hands, released them and then clenched them again, his joints crackling slightly.
In a battle at the level of a god-general, ordinary armies are useless. Just the aftermath of the force-hedging explosion can kill an entire squadron. Not to mention that once the realm of the powerful is opened, the generals and below will be completely unable to approach.
However, even if all the strong men in the army were sent to help in the battle, the best result would be a miserable victory. Even if Duke Wei could escape, it would be over if Zhang Clan, a powerful private soldier, was lost. In this battle, Zhang Clan's 100,000 elite private troops were half under Zhang Junshu's command, and now only less than 20,000 are on their way home.
These 20,000 people are the last of our blood. As long as we can bring them back and use them as a framework to recruit new soldiers, we will be able to obtain another elite army in less than half a year. But if everything is lost in this battle, there will be nothing left.
The Duke of Wei would rather fight against the Spider Demon Grand Duke Ardak alone than let Zhang Junshu help him in the battle, because he knew that this army, and the strong men in this army, are the foundation of Zhang Clan. Once it is damaged, the foundation will be damaged. . And if Duke Wei was martyred in this battle, for the sake of preserving the vitality of the Zhang clan, the Qingyang Zhang family and even Qingyang King Zhang Boqian would do their best to protect the descendants of Duke Wei.
This is an embarrassing choice, but it is also the choice of Duke Wei.
With a bang, Zhang Junshu punched the command platform hard and shouted: "Go help the brothers below and hurry up! The faster we go, the sooner the Duke can leave the battlefield!"
The generals responded to the order with a bang and rushed out. It's just that the vision of heaven and earth in the distance is like a lead weight weighing heavily on everyone's heart. Faced with the absolute difference in power, Duke Wei takes the initiative to fight. If he wants to escape, he may have little hope.
At this moment, a colonel rushed into the command module and shouted: "The peripheral aerospace ship discovered that an unknown aerospace ship was approaching. It was suspected to be the ship of Ardak, the Grand Duke of the Spider Demon!"
