Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-three voices of destiny
bsp;A few days later, Zhang Boqian returned seriously injured, and all the troops he brought were wiped out. Zhang Boqian didn't mention a word about the specific results of the battle, but when he came back he was in high spirits and showed no sign of being in a bad mood.
Zhang Boqian never bothered to disguise himself. Since he was in a good mood, it was natural that he had achieved a major gain. But there was no news about the result of the victory, and everyone could only speculate based on clues. Soon there was news from the dark camp. The small clans did not talk about it. Two of the thirteen clans known as the original blood clan urgently recalled all the high-ranking nobles who participated in the war in the Evernight Continent back to the Twilight Continent.
Starting from Zhang Boqian's battle, the empire's huge war machine finally started to rumble. The major legions were mobilized in turns. Some of them sent more troops to Yong Ye, and some legions attacked the territory of the dark race from other aspects, hoping to alleviate Yong Ye's side. Pressure on the continent.
In this magnificent war, there is an unusually quiet corner, Blackstream City.
Since the dark army left, Blackstream City has begun to confront the small surveillance force. People outside the city did not attack, and people in the city did not want to go out. The situation became deadlocked. As the flames of war spread throughout the Evernight Continent, the war gradually became more intense, and this place seemed to have become a forgotten corner.
In the quiet days, Wei Bainian was not idle at all, and was strengthening the defense of Heiliu City every moment. Every day that passes, Blackstream City takes another step closer to becoming a complete war fortress.
Qianye was not completely idle. After confirming that the dark army had left the war zone, he led the mercenary group out of Blackstream City and headed for the mine occupied by the deserters of the 7th Division.
When the dark army crossed the border, the 15th Division was completely defeated, and the remaining soldiers of the 7th Division in the mine were also greatly reduced. The ensuing offensive and defensive battle was not too fierce. As soon as the battle began, Qianye killed two of the three leaders of the remnant soldiers with eagle strikes. The morale of the remnant soldiers dropped significantly, and many of them even began to flee.
Qianye, in accordance with the previous discussion with Wei Bainian, stationed the Dark Fire Mercenary Group in this mine until the end of the war.
This mine is located in a remote location and is not on the usual marching route. The attached town has only a few hundred people and has no value except for the unfertile mineral veins. The terrain around the mine is complex, backed by a branch of the mountainous area, and just within flying distance of the small aerostat. Defending the mine will guarantee an escape route for Blackstream City. Although this passage can only be used by a few people, the big shots in Blackstream City who have to stay will feel more at ease and less likely to do tricks behind their backs.
After occupying the mine, Qianye explored the nearby area alone. All signs showed that the dark army that had passed through had indeed marched into the depths of human territory without stopping. This verified their previous judge.
After Qianye returned to the black process, he continued to practice behind closed doors and continued high-intensity physical training to adapt to the sudden increase in strength.
Compared with the original golden blood energy, the new dark gold blood energy is very quiet. Most of the time, it is entrenched motionless in the eye spell runes, and only occasionally springs out to swallow a piece of ordinary blood energy. It is too quiet. That kind of quietness does not make people ignore its existence, but makes Qianye feel chilly inexplicably, as if being brushed by an indescribable vast ancient breath.
Occasionally, the pupil runes will flash with light patterns, and the changes that emerge will become increasingly complex, with signs of advancement and even the emergence of new runes.
Qianye is still majoring in the art of military attack. This time, the dark gold blood energy has transformed and strengthened the body for an unprecedented period of time, and the benefits are naturally huge. He has been able to easily push the tide of dawn force through forty rounds. However, after being condensed through Song's ancient scrolls, the total amount of force was not that amazing, only twice that of the same level.
As for the dark force, Qianye does not have to worry about conflict with the dawn force for the time being. After all the blood absorbed in the second battle of Black Mud Town was transformed, it turned into food for the three types of blood in the body. Most of it was swallowed by dark gold blood, and a small amount was absorbed by purple and ordinary blood.
In the raging war, the speed of transmission of various intelligence and messages has also been affected. There was finally new movement at the expeditionary force headquarters. After passing through many lines of fire, two official documents were delivered to Blackstream City.
The first is the commendation order. The amount of combat bonuses listed in the attachment is quite unexpected. Based on Qianye's performance, he alone can receive as much as three thousand gold coins. This amount is not lower than the unit price bounty received by the freedom fighters. In total, the expeditionary force headquarters only took away less than 20% of the military expenses.
However, this is wartime, and all rewards cannot be issued until after the war. The remaining reliable transportation channels will obviously give way to emergency military supplies.
The other is a combat order. The article severely reprimanded Wei Bainian for his inability to retreat, and ordered him to immediately lead the 7th Division to attack the dark race troops currently active in Sanhe County from the rear in order to reduce the pressure on the overall battle situation.
After reading this order, Wei Bainian immediately sneered and tore the official document into pieces in front of Qianye and all the officers. Then Wei Bainian took the huddle tactics to the extreme. Every wide road in the city was blocked with three steps and one barrier, five steps and one base. There were hidden sentries and sniper bunkers everywhere.
When the dark army outside the city showed with actual actions that no matter how many people or soldiers came out of Heiliu City, they were not prepared to move at all, Wei Bainian released the city ban. He also did not require the defenders to set up special inspections on the flow of people in and out, but only restricted the opening and closing times of the city gates.
With people flowing in and out, news will naturally spread. Generally, there will be many agents and spies of the dark race in human cities, and Blackstream City is no exception. The defense situation in the city was quickly leaked, which also achieved Wei Bainian's goal. He wanted to let the dark races know how difficult it was to conquer Blackstream City and how much it cost.
Qianye’s life is not boring, at most it’s a bit boring. After he settled down the mercenary group and returned to Blackstream City, he practiced almost every moment. Although Heiliu City is now peaceful, the entire Sanhe County and even the entire Yongye war situation are in danger. If humans are completely cleared from this continent, the small Heiliu City will certainly not be able to survive alone. When the dark race army appears under the city again, it should be the time when the city is broken.
That night, Qianye, who had been training for an entire hour, just walked out of the training room and entered the bathroom. The moment the scalding hot water is sprayed on the skin, a comfortable feeling seems to erupt from every pore. At this moment, Qianye suddenly heard a voice: "Close to me..."
Qianye was shocked and instantly entered a fighting state. The crimson force light came out of his body and intertwined with the water vapor that filled the room, just like the clouds steaming at sunrise on the mountain peaks.
The bathroom is not big, and you can have a clear view without turning your head greatly. Except for Qianye, there is no one, not even a bug.
Qianye reached out and turned off the shower and listened. The outer room was equally quiet. However, he was certain that he had indeed heard the sound just now. With Qianye's keen perception and firm mind, how could there be auditory hallucinations or mishearings?
Qianye let go of his senses and scanned the bathroom and outhouse again, making sure that he could not find anything strange. Then he calmly walked out of the bathroom and began to change clothes. The shining light teeth were placed beside him as usual, within reach.
Nothing unusual happened after that.
Qianye picked up a stack of documents and letters on the table and began to deal with general affairs. He approved the two reports handed over by Song Hu and wrote another letter to Song Zining.
After all the matters were dealt with, Qianye hesitated for a moment. During this period, he had been using cultivation instead of sleeping. However, he felt very uneasy at this time. Maybe the wars and cultivation had been too frequent recently, and as a result, his body had not recovered. The problem is, I'm a bit mentally exhausted.
When he first lay down on the bed, Qianye even felt a long-lost happiness. Then he felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.
Qianye's consciousness suddenly shook, and it felt as if the whole world was shaking. He opened his eyes and found that everything was gray. Not only could he not see the furniture nearby, but even the bed under him was nowhere to be found. The fog was as thick as substance, billowing slowly around the body, as if it had an independent consciousness.
Qianye stretched out his hand to fish it out, and actually tore off a large piece of mist. There was a feeling of catching wet cotton in his hand.
What's going on? Qianye was extremely surprised.
He looked down again and suddenly realized that he was no longer in the room. He was standing, with ordinary land under his feet. The black and oily soil seemed very fertile, but there was no life in sight. There was no grass, no insects, no life, nothing.
He raised his head and saw that the sky was also gray, as if it was boundless and far away, but there was nothing there either.
In this strange world, it seems that there is nothing but fog and gray.
Qianye looked at himself and saw that he was wearing a simple linen robe, but he had never remembered that he had such a piece of clothing. The style was very similar to the common clothes of low-level vampires.
Qianye stretched out his hand. It was colored, and the parts of his body exposed outside his clothes were also colored, just like usual. But in this gray world, it seems extremely abnormal, because he is the only existence with color.
Qianye suddenly realized that this was a dream, but it felt too real.
At this moment, the voice sounded again: "Close to me..."
Qianye heard it very clearly this time, and the voice was a bit ethereal. It was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman from the voice line, but the general direction could still be distinguished.
He tried to walk in the direction of the sound. It was a long journey. In Qianye's consciousness, at least half an hour had passed, and the surrounding environment was still the same without any change. Qianye looked at the gray fog next to him suspiciously. Why did he feel that even the rolling patterns of the clouds were exactly the same as where they started? Has the world in this dream moved forward?
When Qianye couldn't help but stop, the voice sounded again, this time it seemed a little clearer, and there seemed to be something else after those three words, but he couldn't hear clearly.
Qianye thought for a while and continued to move forward. This time he walked continuously for a full hour before he heard the voice again.
"Come close to me...bring me my head...and give me eternal rest..."
ps: Thanks to the new alliance leader Karma the Apocalypse.
I’ve been working overtime continuously recently, and I haven’t even logged in to QQ for a long time. But when I opened the group, I saw the pass rolling all over the floor. What’s going on? Can you please update me? Well, I tried hard to add an update that weekend.
