Monarch of Evernight: Twenty trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop
bsp;"I dare not exceed the title of emperor's master." Lin Xitang did not move.
However, Emperor Hao leaned forward and held Lin Xitang's arm. Mist swirled around him, green in color and almost black in color, filling the entire hall in just a few breaths. The center of the mist surged violently, like a storm sweeping across it, and there was a faint illusion of a flying snake with nine scales on its back.
For a moment, two huge black shadows passed by, and it turned out that the wings of the Soaring Snake were spread out from the blades.
Lin Xitang's usually calm expression was shattered to pieces at this moment.
The Soaring Snake is the family emblem of the Qin Dynasty’s imperial family, with its golden claws and mystical body, but there has never been any totem with two wings! Only a few people vaguely know that the talent totem passed down from the imperial family is incomplete.
"Soaring snakes in the wilds of Duguang, emerging from the bathing water, golden claws, thunder horns, and wings covering the abyss." Emperor Hao said slowly: "This is the complete form of Taizu's innate totem."
Lin Xitang's held arm trembled slightly, and suddenly a thin layer of light blue ice appeared out of thin air from his elbow, quickly spreading to his fingertips.
The blue-black mist nearby immediately separated into several strands, condensed into the shape of five fingers, and picked off the thin ice. The thin ice turned into black flames immediately after leaving the body. The core of each flower was as red as a drop of blood, and was then pinched and extinguished in the palm of the hand with five fingers.
"Without the Tiger and Wolf Elixir refined by Gu Tuohai, wouldn't it be possible to suppress the old wounds?" There was no emotion on Emperor Hao's face.
Lin Xitang leaned into the sofa, closed her eyes weakly, and said nothing.
"Aren't you happy? We can finally know that we are on the right path. From the time Taizu planned the 'Zai Yao Beginning' to the present, it has been a full 1,120 years, and countless emperors' blood and blood have been sacrificed. Tianyan's opportunity, but no one knows whether it makes sense to do so. Now that the talent totem has awakened, it means that the dawn is truly resurrecting and growing in this world of eternal night, and the revival of the human race requires it. It’s just time.”
Lin Xitang's expression softened and he whispered: "Congratulations, Your Majesty." After a pause, he sighed softly: "Then your Majesty should understand what is going on with the opening of a new world?"
Emperor Hao's eyes changed slightly. Rumors about the new world started after Lin Xitang entered Tianji Pavilion. However, he did not ask him where he knew it. He simply replied: "It is true, but the world itself is unknown."
"If the current situation changes in such a major way, expanding the floating-land war is not a good choice."
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. With the current situation on the floating land, we cannot stop the war if we want to." Emperor Hao explained patiently: "So if they want to fight, let them fight. Otherwise, let them fight." People’s hearts are hard to control. If there are no opportunities here, they will look for opportunities elsewhere.”
Lin Xitang suddenly opened his eyes.
"Since they want your power, let's see if they have the ability to seize it." Emperor Hao said lightly: "King Qingyang once said that there are so many powerful people and Tianji masters in Da Qin. You can’t take all the credit. I think he’s right.”
Lin Xitang couldn't help but frown. Zhang Boqian's original words probably meant this, but the wording was much more unpleasant.
"This time the military has good reasons to ask for a war, and it is rare that the King of Immortality does not skimp on the strength of the Imperial Guard. So as they wish, there will be no harm if they can take the Floating Land into their pocket. As for who is taking care of it? What, what is the plan, you will always know as the war progresses."
Lin Xitang looked at Emperor Hao with a slightly changed expression, as if he was meeting his monarch for the first time, and asked in a deep voice: "Then who is leading the other main lines?"
Emperor Hao said slowly: "Lin Qing, as long as you can walk down the mountain by yourself, no one will stop you."
Then the hall fell into a deathly silence.
When Emperor Hao walked out of Tianji Pavilion, it was already the middle of the moon. He stood on the white jade stone steps, overlooking the imperial capital in the night, then raised his hand across his eyes, clenched it into a fist, as if he was holding the lights of thousands of houses.
"Father, look, I have finally turned into the person I once hated the most." The Great Qin Supreme said to himself with his shoulders covered with moonlight.
Under the steps, in the shadows, stood several servants, turning a deaf ear, saying nothing, and not moving, like respected puppets.
There is no day or night in the void, only fierce battlefields.
There was still some time before the Yongye reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, and the warships of the empire were almost crazy, desperately firing at their opponents. Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, the two Archduke-class ships changed their strategies. Instead of fighting to the death, they each rushed to the periphery.
When they insist on breaking out, the Empire has almost nothing to do. The two destroyers desperately blocking the way forward were directly blasted into two pieces by the main gun of the Grand Duke's ship. The Archduke's ship rammed directly over the burning wreckage and broke out of the encirclement of the Imperial warships.
Not far away, the right minister stood on the bridge, which was still filled with the thick smell of gunpowder smoke, staring at the two Grand Duke ships, not knowing what he was thinking. He suddenly turned around and said in a hoarse voice: "Send the order! This ship will make a roundabout at full speed and stop that ship..."
Halfway through his words, his voice suddenly became hoarse. An old minister smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, our ship is almost immobile. We can't stop it."
The bridge is full of counselors. What they are usually good at is conspiracy. Even if they have Force level, they have almost no experience in head-on combat. But what the right minister sees now is that everyone is injured and just wrapped up hastily. The person who was most seriously injured had his whole calf missing and was leaning on the table, standing on one leg.
The right minister still remembers that this person is notoriously timid and afraid of death, but now, he still has bright eyes and can kill the enemy at any time. The injuries on his body seemed to have been completely forgotten.
The other side of the bridge was scorched black, and there was a big hole in the bulkhead. The cold breath kept blowing in, but it could not dissipate the scorching heat of the embers.
Many corpses lay scattered on the floor, including several counselors and crew members, and more of them were warriors of the dark race. When the fierce battle reached its most difficult moment, a large number of dark race warriors launched a boarding battle regardless of the damage, trying to capture the battleship. If the imperial flagship could be captured, it would be a heavy blow to the morale and reputation of the entire empire.
Those who successfully broke into the bridge were all strong men, and one of the marquis and two earls were killed by the right minister himself. The other advisers also fought to the death. No matter what their usual behavior was, at this critical moment between life and death, no one showed any signs of flinching.
After seeing his subordinates who were still alive, the Prime Minister nodded slowly and said, "You and others have not failed me."
This is the highest praise that the Right Prime Minister can give. Everyone was just happy, but the Right Prime Minister sighed: "It's a pity that people make plans, but God makes things happen. But I have failed the empire."
He raised his left hand and said slowly: "Send the order to the entire army to withdraw..."
One order and it’s a foregone conclusion. Although the imperial fleet was far superior in terms of results, this battle was lost. The two Archduke-class battleships were released and failed to gain control of outer space, which would have a fatal impact on the entire war situation. Perhaps the Battle of Floating Land will be protracted from now on and become a black hole that swallows the flesh and blood of the empire's soldiers. Such a protracted war is the last thing the empire wants to face. I am afraid that if it persists for a while, it will withdraw its troops.
That’s why this order was issued for an extra long time. Even the Prime Minister himself subconsciously didn't want to say it out loud.
The word "retreat" has lingered on the lips several times. Just when he was about to spit it out, a counselor suddenly shouted: "Then, what is that?!"
The right minister was startled and turned his head to look in the direction of the man's finger. I saw a large shadow suddenly covering the battlefield, and slowly moving over the battleships that were still fighting fiercely.
In the darkness, a brilliant light suddenly appeared, with a seven-color trail, and it fell towards an Archduke-class ship that had just rushed to the outside.
The stern of the ship was hit by colorful light, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the entire hull was blown down. After the fire passed, a big hole had been blown out of the stern of the ship. The speed of the entire battleship was slightly slow, and the power system was obviously also affected a little.
The power of this blow is truly astonishing, but some people are even more surprised than the generals of the empire.
In a battleship of the Yongye reinforcements in the distance, Lin Jiaer jumped up from his seat, gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's him!"
A curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiaer, and above it was an elderly demon with a majestic face. He stared at Lin Jiaer with lightning eyes and said coldly: "Why are you so alarmed?"
Lin Jia'er stood up and saluted, saying: "I saw that there was still an ambush from the human race, and I panicked for a moment. Please forgive me."
The elder demon snorted and said: "What a panic! No wonder you will lose most of the fleet in your hand. Now that you are serving under my command, you have to behave at least a little bit. If you stay I won’t look at anyone’s favours, but I will punish you as you see fit.”
"I remember." Lin Jiaer looked very well-behaved.
The elder demon was then satisfied and dispersed the light curtain.
Lin Jiaer gritted his teeth secretly, his face looked a little ferocious, and he glared fiercely at the place where the light curtain appeared. At this time, a confidant next to him lowered his voice and said, "Isn't that your Shen Lu?"
"Shut up!" Lin Jiaer glared at him fiercely, making him swallow all the words that followed.
Lin Jiaer looked into the distance with a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking.
The Evernight reinforcement fleet accelerated again, trying to rush to the battlefield. On the battlefield, the Grand Duke's ship that suffered an unexpected attack was a little panicked at first, but quickly adjusted. It was not in a hurry to escape, but hovered in place, resisting on the spot, while summoning the remaining Yongye battleships to reorganize its defense line.
When the Archduke's ship moves forward step by step, it becomes extremely difficult. The Imperial battleships were enough of a threat to it, but they didn't dare to attack them head-on. Below the battleship, any battleship hit by its main gun may be destroyed in one hit. Even the bravest captain would not dare to get too close.
At this moment, another colorful ray of light fell from the void. This time, the Grand Duke's ship was well prepared. Dozens of secondary guns fired together, and it was obvious that a strong person personally operated the guns. The shots were extremely accurate, blasting the colorful rays of light into the air.
But before the people on the ship could cheer, a huge shadow enveloped the entire Grand Duke's ship!
The Hall of Valor fell from the sky and hit the Grand Duke's ship hard. In front of the Hall of Valor, the Grand Duke's ship is completely a small boat. The three ships combined are as long as the Hall of Valor. After being hit by the Hall of Valor like this, it immediately rolled out. The entire place where it was hit was dented, and it was obviously seriously injured.
However, this is not the end of the misfortune, it is just the beginning.
