Monarch of Evernight: The historical contribution of 161

bsp;A moment later, Qianye stood on the terrace, overlooking Bibo City and the endless emerald sea, and remained silent for a long time.

Wei Potian stood behind him, his left sleeve fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, Wei Potian didn't say anything anymore. Everything that needed to be said, including the past wars and the current situation, had been told to Qianye. The only thing he can do now is to wait for Qianye's decision.

To be honest, Wei Potian asked himself how he would decide if he and Qianye were to change places.

I don’t know how long it took, but Qianye sighed softly: "Father, if you saw today's situation, would you still be so decisive?"

Wei Potian suddenly felt a sourness rush into his eyes. Naturally, he would not have the same deep feelings for Lin Xitang as Qianye. The relationship between the Wei family and Beifu got closer before and after the maelstrom. However, this was enough for him to get a closer look at the character of the Imperial Marshal. At this time, for some reason, Wei Potian suddenly felt the pain and regret buried under Qianye's calm words.

After another moment of silence, Qianye turned his head slightly and said, "The empire... still has soldiers?"

"Of course there are soldiers, but there are no generals."

Qianye finally turned around and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the empire with you!"

At this time, Wei Potian was not happy at all, and sighed: "Qianye, you know, I really had no choice, so I shamelessly came to see you. In fact, she, well, this is not entirely to blame She, at least, I asked for this arm. But if you don’t come forward, there will be no one in the empire! We can’t give up the new world, alas!”

"What's in the new world?"

"I don't know either, but I vaguely heard Zi Ning say before that there may be a shocking secret hidden there, and the dark race cannot get it under any circumstances, or to say the least, they must not be allowed to monopolize it. Otherwise, the human race will There will be no recovery. ”

"What are the kings doing?"

"What else can they do? It's already very difficult to defend the four borders now." Wei Potian was not an ignorant person at the moment. He didn't need to know too much to figure out the general truth.

Qianye also nodded.

Under the current general situation, the dark race is rarely united and committed to fighting for the new world. Although the princes cannot enter the new world, they can also exert their efforts in other places. If it were Qianye himself, he would not sit back and watch. He would definitely harass him everywhere and make his opponents exhausted.

This is what the dark race does. Originally, Yongye had an absolute advantage in terms of the number of kings. Once they unite, they can form a two-on-one situation in many areas. It is already very difficult for the kings of the empire just to defend their homeland.

The Evernight War is not going well, and the New World is in complete defeat. The empire has never been in such embarrassment in recent years.

Wei Potian came in a hurry and didn’t need to prepare any luggage. He could set off at any time. Now that Qianye had made up his mind, he didn't waste any time and directly dispatched a high-speed frigate and sailed towards the empire.

The first stop is the Imperial Military Headquarters.

The Imperial Military Headquarters is located in the western suburbs of the imperial capital, covering an extremely large area, like a city within a city.

Here is the war facility that governs the four continents of the empire, the bottom layer of Eternal Night, and a floating continent. It governs all outer space fleets except the Imperial Guard Fleet, and is responsible for more than ten regular legions and dozens of line legions. , as well as the dispatching and command of all elite legions.

When this country is at war, the military also has many rights to dispatch and command the private armies of famous families.

With such an important location, it is naturally well-defended. Besides the Imperial Palace, the second tallest building in the Imperial Capital is the Military Headquarters. The military headquarters has an independent defense system. Dozens of air-to-air rapid-fire cannons and countless short-range intensive ground-attack cannons are hidden in the densely packed buildings.

The large number of turrets are powered by seven power towers. These independently operating power towers are tightly guarded and are all buried deep underground. On the surface, the military headquarters is an old city full of retro atmosphere. It is impossible to tell the mystery hidden here with just the eyes.

The frigate, led by the imperial guide ship, landed at the dedicated aerospace landing pad outside the military headquarters.

When Qianye walked down the gangway, there were dozens of people waiting outside. Although the number was not large, all of them were generals or above. It was extremely grand.

Qianye took a quick look and saw that the leader was actually Zhao Xuanji. He was shocked, so he took a few steps forward and bowed in salute. Qianye respected Zhao Xuanji very much, both in public and private matters. Duke Youguo is the pillar of support for the Zhao family, and has supported the Zhao family's prestige for many years.

Cheng'en Gong later rose to prominence, and his reputation mostly came from his three children and Princess Gaoyi. No one cared about his own strength. Although he also made outstanding achievements in the Western Continent, he was often looked down upon.

So internally and externally, Zhao Xuanji is recognized as the number one person in the Zhao clan, and he has always acted fairly, and he has also given Qianye a lot of help, both openly and secretly.

In front of this down-to-earth elder, Qianye could not show off under any circumstances. .

Zhao Xuanji stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at Qianye, and sighed: "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so old. We people are indeed old."

"Guo Zheng is in his prime, how can he be called an old man?"

Zhao Xuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying: "If I hadn't been old, how could I have been detained here by His Majesty and not allowed to step into the Black Sun Valley?"

An old general with gray hair next to him said: "The empire is full of talents. If you really need to go into battle in person to fight, then the country will be in danger. Now that Master Qianye is back, there is no need to worry about the subsequent war. ”

Zhao Xuanji said: "Your Majesty is good at everything, but sometimes you are too soft-hearted. Qianye, come with me, I just have some handover matters that I need to explain to you."

Qianye followed Zhao Xuanji towards the military headquarters. This section of the road is really not that close. Fortunately, the generals are all very powerful and move like flying. They look like they are walking leisurely, but they are actually much faster than off-road vehicles. It's just that the many generals are walking quickly, which is really weird.

An old general said: "Back then, Emperor Wu made a rule that, except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one could ride or fly in the military headquarters, and could only walk on foot. Since this rule was made by Emperor Wu, it has been in use to this day. ."

A wall outside the military headquarters has more decorative significance than defense. The gate facing the take-off and landing site is tens of meters high, majestic and solemn. At this moment, the door was half open, and Qianye's welcome was extremely grand.

In important areas of the empire, the main entrance is usually closed. The middle gate is often opened only during ceremonies when Emperor Hao comes in person. Normally, even if Emperor Hao occasionally came to visit, he would only use the side door.

Now the main door of the military department is half-opened for Qianye, which is really an honor.

Qianye didn't feel much about this. He just paused at the gate for a moment, looked up at the gate leading to the empire's highest military institution, then took a step and lightly stepped into the imperial military headquarters. .

There are two worlds inside and outside the gate.

As soon as he entered the gate, Qianye suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He felt countless sharp auras coming through the air and falling on him. It was the aura coming from a truly strong person, some of which were so powerful that even he now felt in danger. Among them, there is an aura that is particularly old, deep and decayed, like a rotten sea.

This breath is so powerful, so powerful that Qianye can only look up. It is like a giant beast in the void that has reached the end of its life. Although it is filled with the aura of death, it can still bulldoze Shan Lian if it moves.

Qianye immediately stopped, his eyes alert, and said: "King of Immortality?!"

Qianye already knows what the Immortal King has done, and he even knows that he is the culprit that caused Lin Xitang's death. If there was no Emperor Blood Rebellion, no Floating Land Trap, and no such king-level political opponent, Lin Xitang would not need to commit suicide to break the situation.

The news of the death of the Immortal King has long been reported, so why is there his presence here?

Qianye's eyes turned cold. If the King of Immortality had not died, as the oldest king of the human race, the King of Immortality would still have the ability to kill Qianye even at the end of his life. Could it be that this is a trap?

At this time, Zhao Xuanji also stopped, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said: "The old prince has gone. This is only part of the strength he left behind. It is part of the military's defense system. Don't worry about it."

Qianye's face softened slightly, he nodded, and followed Zhao Xuanji as he continued to walk inside.

The center of the military headquarters is a huge building composed of a main building and four satellite buildings. The four auxiliary buildings are square, thin and tall, and the central building is round.

A particularly young general said: "This is the main building of the military headquarters. The four auxiliary buildings represent the four mythical beasts, and the middle building represents the thick soil in the center."

"Four Directions Divine Beasts?"

The general said: "Yes, the four divine beasts are recorded like this in the data."

This was the first time Qianye heard the talk about the four mythical beasts. He couldn't help but be curious and asked a few more questions.

The young general said: "Actually, the so-called four mythical beasts only exist in the data. That data, how should I put it, is more like a... legend. One of the four mythical beasts is similar to the imperial totem snake, and the other is the burning giant Birds, tigers and giant turtles actually don’t know where they come from, maybe they are some giant void beasts that live in the depths of the void.”

Qianye followed the others into the main building of the military headquarters, and soon came to a small auditorium as he climbed all the way up.

The auditorium is not big, but it is ancient and solemn. As soon as he entered the auditorium, Qianye felt countless weak but powerful auras, each different, like a thousand peaks competing for a show. Among them, there are some scents that he is very familiar with, such as...Lin Xitang.

Qianye immediately turned his head and looked for the source of the breath. It was on the side of the auditorium, and the wall was embedded with black jade. The black jade is divided into left and right parts, each of which is engraved with countless densely packed names. Lin Xitang's name is prominently listed, located very far back.

Before him, Qianye didn’t recognize most of the names, and the first few names on the list were like thunder. Those were the heroes who followed Taizu in founding the country, all of them had great achievements and their life stories were familiar to everyone.

On the other side of the black jade wall, the list is much shorter, with Qingyang King Zhang Boqian listed at the end.

Zhao Xuanji said: "These two sides are the imperial merit list, which records the people who have made great contributions to the empire throughout the ages. I am old, and if I am lucky enough to be on the list, I will die without regrets."

The general next to him said: "Youguo Gong was far-sighted in the Battle of Floating Land. It is you who laid the foundation for the empire's subsequent great victory. In the future, your name will be on this right wall."

Another name on the wall caught Qianye's attention and asked: "Is this the Immortal King?"

The generals did not dare to answer, but Zhao Xuanji had no scruples and nodded: "He is indeed the King of Immortality."

After a pause, Zhao Xuanji said: "Although he made big mistakes in his later years, the Changsheng King also made a lot of contributions to our human race throughout his life. Compared with the two, he still has more credit. This wall records history. As long as there is merit, it will be recorded and cannot be erased at will."

Qianye remained silent for a while, nodding slightly.

Zhao Xuanji said sternly: "This palace of Tianxun is perfect for conferring honors. Qianye, are you willing to take over this important task?"
