Monarch of Evernight: Twelve Clearances

bsp;Qianye's heart moved slightly and he looked at the map. There were several sets of simple data next to the mine mark, which were descriptions of production and quantity. If he can capture this place, plus the mine that Wei Potian transferred to him before, he can get a fixed income of about several thousand gold coins every year, which is enough to expand the "Dark Fire" to a thousand people, or maintain it at five hundred. The number of people is small, but the equipment and treatment are up to the level of the main army of the empire.

"But this mine is not that easy to get. It is estimated that there are nearly a thousand people inside, led by a former colonel commander of the 7th Division. In addition, this location is very close to the 15th Division's defense area, which is better than theirs. The distance taken out for compensation was even closer."

Qianye lowered his head slightly, his expression unchanged, and just asked: "Is he a seventh-level or eighth-level colonel?"

Wei Bainian said: "Level 7 is just a veteran who has served for almost eight years." Having served in the expeditionary force for eight years and rising to the rank of colonel, he must have extremely rich combat experience.

Qianye nodded and said calmly: "If that's all, it's not a big problem."

A smile flashed in Wei Bainian's eyes and he asked: "Where is the Fifteenth Division..."

Qianye shrugged and said: "If I remember correctly, didn't they say they would no longer interfere? The one-year agreement has not come yet. If the lesson they learned last time was not profound enough, I don't think so. Mind doing it again."

Wei Bainian nodded and smiled, "Very good, I will help you withstand other pressures."

After agreeing on the mining area, Wei Bainian asked someone to bring a partial map of the area around Black Ni Town, and compared it with the topographic map of Black Marsh drawn by Qianye, he began to study how to lay out the defense line.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside the window, including quarreling, crying, cursing, and even a few gunshots.

Qianye walked to the long narrow window and looked out. A large number of Expeditionary Force soldiers were seen on the streets outside, driving away the scavengers and homeless people living on the streets.

Hu Wei was standing on a high place, shouting in a hysterical voice: "Give you thirty minutes, get out of town. I've prepared a campsite for you there! Listen, only Thirty minutes! If you show up in front of me again in thirty minutes, the whip will be waiting for you! If you dare to stay in the town after one hour, you will be killed on the spot!"

Qianye just frowned, and then his face calmed down again. Driving away the scavengers was not only to make room for Wei Bainian's army, but also to build fortifications and other things immediately. There was no place for the refugees on the battlefield.

The scavengers slowly got up, and some of them were still lying there, refusing to move until the expeditionary force's military boots kicked up. Several scavengers clashed with the expeditionary force for unknown reasons. They became more and more agitated and suddenly pushed a soldier to the ground, beating him while snatching away his gun and saber.

When Hu Wei saw it, he immediately jumped to the ground with agility that was incompatible with his body shape, reached out to grab the gun from an expeditionary soldier, and pulled the trigger repeatedly without hesitation. His marksmanship was unexpectedly accurate, although It was a gunpowder gun, but every bullet almost hit the vital point, killing these scavengers one by one in an instant.

The hot blood and fresh corpses gradually extinguished the dangerous flames in the scavengers' eyes.

One of Wei Bainian's personal guards also walked to the window and suddenly asked: "Some of these people are decent soldiers. Why not give them some weapons and incorporate them into the garrison?"

This is a guard who followed Wei Bainian from the upper continent. He now wears the rank of lieutenant colonel, but judging from his actions and gestures, he has a typical orthodox military style, and he should have served for a long time.

Qianye breathed out softly and said: "This is Yongye, these people are scavengers, they are people without belonging." He paused and said: "Like hyenas in the wilderness, as long as they find You are not that scary, and you may bite back at any time. Compared with us and the dark race, the dark race is obviously more terrifying.”

The guard was silent. He understood what Qianye meant, but he might not be able to understand it right away.

Only if you live in the Evernight Continent for a long time will you truly realize the meaning of the abandoned land. Those abandoned by the empire, of course, also gave up their faith and hope in the empire.

The next few days were spent in busyness, tension and tranquility. Wei Bainian's army deployed with Black Ni Town as the center, building a continuous front and completely blocking the exit of Black Marsh. The army sent out scouts to go deep into the Black Swamp, and there was no need for Qianye to go to spy on the military situation.

After Wei Bainian decided on the overall tactical plan, he handed over most of the defense layout to his deputy and went into a quiet room to practice. When the war started, as the leader of a division, he had to face the generals of the dark race, which could be said to be the most dangerous task.

Qianye also handed over all the affairs of the mercenary group to Song Hu, and practiced hard himself. After practicing almost without sleep for several days, Qianye finally came out of the quiet room. He had a sudden impulse just now, and he felt a vague uneasiness, as if a black wave was sweeping in from the southwest, and the southwest was the direction of the Black Mud Swamp. Since he practiced Song's Ancient Scrolls, Dawn Force has been continuously refined and condensed. Now, although his total force is no longer two or three times that of the same level, after many tests, the strength has not decreased but increased. At the same time, The sense of danger has become more acute.

Qianye walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and then looked at his legs in the full-length mirror. His legs had been numb and itchy for almost a month since the sixth force node was ignited. Although it does not affect my movements, the feeling in my bones is very uncomfortable.

This is because the essence of the body is constantly growing and strengthening. However, when the Force node was ignited before, Qianye had never experienced such a long transformation except for the special position on his chest. However, the longer this process lasts, the stronger the body will be after completion.

Now that the transformation process is over, Qianye feels that every corner of his legs is full of explosive power. He walked to the corner of the room where there were two barbells used for strength training.

This is what Qianye uses for single-arm strength training, although barbells weighing hundreds of kilograms are used by others to train whole-body strength.

Looking at this pair of barbells at this moment, Qianye's heart suddenly moved. He stretched out his feet and gently picked it up. The barbell flew up with a roar, and when it was about to touch the ceiling, it stopped its rise just in time, and then fell.

Qianye stretched out his right leg and caught the falling barbell with the flat surface of his feet. The barbell stopped steadily in the air, while Qianye's feet only sank slightly. If you didn't observe carefully, you would definitely miss the subsidence, which was less than a finger's width.

Qianye pondered for a moment, then flicked his straight right leg to lift the barbell a little, and then quickly switched to his left leg. This time, the left leg caught the barbell without moving. It seemed that the activated Force node was at the left knee, so the left leg was slightly stronger.

Qianye slowly lowered his left leg and gently bounced the barbell back to its original position.

This kind of power has far exceeded Qianye's own imagination. Even until now, he is still not used to the sudden increase in power. It seems that it takes a period of targeted training and actual combat to fully control and adapt to the new body.

Standing in front of the mirror again, Qianye looked at himself, and suddenly felt that the person in the mirror was a bit strange. Human beings have always been far inferior to the dark races in terms of body and strength, and Qianye has long been accustomed to a fighting style that is known for long-range sniping and speed skills.

But now, the power of this body should be able to completely overwhelm the vampires of the same level. Even compared to the werewolves of the same level, it has advantages in many aspects. But Qianye didn't know where this power came from.

But now is not the time to explore these. The first thing we have to face is the battle in front of us.

After Qianye walked out of the training room, he called the craftsmen of the mercenary group and asked them to take a look at the werewolf and spider demon armor pieces he had brought back.

The armors of the werewolves and spider demons are very rough in workmanship, without any sense of beauty, but the materials are of the best quality. The armors Qianye obtained were made of black iron alloy smelted by demons or vampire craftsmen, and were much stronger than high-grade human alloy steel.

This batch of armor has almost no style at all. It looks like just a few large pieces of raw material. It only needs slight modifications to make a pair of armor suitable for the human body. The werewolf's arm armor can be used as leg armor. The spider demon's belly armor is originally divided into six pieces. Take out two of them to form a set of chest armor and back armor. Craftsmen only need to install some leather connectors on these armor pieces so that they can be connected and tied to Qianye's body.

The whole modification took an afternoon. Qianye put on the freshly made armor and tried a few fighting moves at will. He felt particularly satisfied. He could also put on the armor from Darul under the samurai uniform. inner armor.

Many of the craftsmen and mercenaries who were watching turned green when they saw this scene. Several craftsmen modified this armor by hand, knowing the weight of every component. Several mercenaries also went into battle to weigh the weight of the dark race warrior's armor. They never thought that someone could move freely wearing this heavy armor of nearly 200 kilograms without activating the Force.

Qianye used the force slightly, and suddenly felt that the force array in the armor was showing signs of being activated, and felt a sense of peace in his heart. After he obtained the dark force cultivation method suitable for him from the Song's ancient scrolls, he finally completed the guidance of the entire Zhoutian. One of the benefits was that although he could feel the dark attribute force during operation, the blood aura was not so strong. It's obvious.

This is more conducive to concealing physical abnormalities for Qianye. The Force possessed by humans may be the most complex in the world, and having some dark attributes is not a big problem.

The Nerubian and Werewolf armors are thicker, but the effect of the Force Array is not bad either. These are components of level three armor. If the force array is fully activated, it can weaken the bombardment of level five force guns to level two. With such defense, it can be called a mobile fortress on the battlefield.

At night, Qianye found that his intuition was correct.

The scouts who went deep into the swamp returned one after another, reporting the discovery of the dark race army. Because they had to cross the arduous swamp, the dark army carried almost no cannon fodder this time. Instead, they were all regular soldiers, plus a small number of auxiliary troops.

According to their current marching speed, the forward troops will appear on the outskirts of Black Ni Town early tomorrow morning.
