Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-Two’s start full of hesitation

bsp;Qianye asked casually and learned that Wei Bainian had sent personal guards to keep an eye on his whereabouts, so he found him as soon as he stepped into the gate of the mercenary group. Qianye's heart moved, thinking that Song Zining had once mentioned the news of an all-out war between the Wei family and the dark race in the Far East. It seemed that the power of Black Current City would undergo major changes.

When Qianye arrived at the headquarters of the 7th Division, he found that all of Wei Bainian's guards were busy coming in and out, the entire open space in the building was occupied, and the soldiers were packing their gear.

Wei Bainian personally stood in front of the building door waiting for Qianye. He greeted him to the study, ordered someone to bring tea in, then closed the door and prepared for a long conversation.

After Qianye exchanged greetings with Wei Bainian, he asked directly: "General Wei, do you want to leave?"

Wei Bainian sighed and said: "The Far East Province and the dark race are at full war."

Qianye had already heard a few words from Song Zining, and immediately asked: "How is the prince?"

"The prince was also in the army at the time and returned home seriously injured. However, Qiyang was extremely talented. Not only had Qianzhongshan reached the seventh level, but he had also awakened the tyrannical ability of 'super recovery'. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as he did not die on the spot, He will be able to recover, and the recovery speed is ten times that of ordinary people." Speaking of Wei Potian, Wei Bainian's tone was full of appreciation.

Qianye couldn't help but marvel at Wei Potian's abnormal ability. Qianzhongshan is known as the number one defense, and with the addition of a super recovery, the heir apparent of the Wei family is really moving in the direction of being invincible.

Then Wei Bainian talked about the general trend of the Far East Province.

It turned out that the cause of this battle was that a general of the Wei family had won many battles recently. He became arrogant and underestimated the enemy, marched his army straight forward, and unknowingly went deep into the dark country. He never thought that the dark race secretly increased its troops, and was defeated. A head-on blow. In a big battle, the Wei family lost more than half of its main force and retreated to the Far East Province in embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the dark race did not stop there. They seemed to have already intended to start a war. They took this opportunity to pursue them all the way until they were outside the Jade Gate Pass, only to be turned away by the natural danger and fortress.

Now the number of dark race troops facing outside Yumen Pass has increased exponentially, and the situation can only be maintained by relying on the fortress to block the passage into the Far East Province. The situation in other directions on the Far East front is also tense. The Wei family is recalling the generals stationed in various enclaves. Wei Bainian has always been known for his good defense. After returning this time, he has decided to stay and guard the Yumen Fortress. This is the top priority.

No one can tell how long the war in the Far East Province will last. This is a battle of life and death. The Wei family is shrinking in an all-round way. Except for a few of the most important enclaves, all other soldiers will be transferred back to their home families. Blackstream City was originally useless to the Wei family, and Wei Bainian was one of the most powerful generals in the clan, so it was inevitably included in the withdrawal area.

The Wei family has sent an elder-level deacon with a foreign surname to contact the expeditionary army headquarters to contact the expeditionary army headquarters. The expeditionary army will assign another division commander to take over the seventh division. The handover between the two parties has happened in the past ten and a half days.

After explaining the cause and effect, Wei Bainian asked meaningfully: "What are your plans after I leave?"

Qianye was moved in his heart and asked: "What is the attitude of the expeditionary force headquarters towards this matter? Can we now know which general will come to take over the 7th Division?"

Wei Bainian smiled slightly, Qianye's two questions hit the mark. Due to the Wu Zhengnan incident, the relationship between the expeditionary force headquarters and the Wei family has always been somewhat bumpy, and the new division commander may not have a good impression of Qianye. For a mercenary group, if it opposes the stationed expeditionary force, not to mention its future development, even its survival will be a problem.

"The attitude of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters is surprisingly good. On the surface, it is because the Far East Province is engaged in an all-out war with the dark race, and they do not want to hinder it too obviously and be reprimanded by the Imperial Military Department. In fact, I heard that there was a family in the empire who wanted to extend a hand to the Evernight Continent, so they sent their own children to open up the territory, and there happened to be such a ready opportunity."

Qianye frowned, it was hard to tell whether the news was good or bad yet. If the expeditionary force achieves a peaceful handover with the Wei family for the sake of profit, it will certainly help maintain the stability of the Blackstream City area, but the impact on Qianye and the Dark Fire Mercenary Group is hard to say.

Furthermore, the new division commander comes from an aristocratic family background, which is definitely very different from the numerous division commanders in the expeditionary force who come from grassroots backgrounds and have made their own way, and their behavior style is even more unpredictable.

"Do you know which aristocratic family it is?"

"The Dong family of Surabaya." Wei Bainian thought for a while and added: "The title of his family is County Prince."

Qianye has no impression of this aristocratic family, but when he hears the word "Jun Bo", he knows that it is a family that is slightly lower in strength among the middle-grade ones. The county fiefdom needs to be maintained above a large county, and there is a risk of attack. No wonder they are eager to expand their territory and have their thoughts set on the Evernight Continent.

Wei Bainian said: "I will stay for about fifteen days. When I go back this time, I will take everyone away. So, if you have any ideas, you should make plans early."

Qianye nodded. Wei Bainian's words meant that all Wei family forces would withdraw from the Blackliu City war zone.

However, Qianye has no idea for the time being. If he is already a general, he can still consider competing for the position of commander of the 7th Division, but now there is still little time. The leader of a division must be a general. This has been a rigid standard of the imperial military for thousands of years. Although Qianye's combat power has now caught up with the general's, he is still not a true general after all.

In fact, how Qianye responds in the future will largely depend on the attitude of this new division commander whom he has never met before.

Qianye bid farewell to Wei Bainian with deep thoughts and returned to the mercenary group's base.

The station is very busy at the moment, and a long line of trucks is slowly driving in. These vehicles are all equipped with the standard equipment of the main army of the empire. Two thick exhaust pipes stand up high behind the front of the vehicle. A large-caliber heavy machine gun is mounted on the roof of each vehicle. Their powerful appearance is unforgettable.

Both sides of the road are already crowded with spectators, and more people are coming. How have these people who have spent most of their lives in Evernight ever had the opportunity to see such a large number of standard load-carrying trucks of the Empire's main army?

At this moment, half of the trucks are loaded with military containers, and the other half are filled with fully armed soldiers. These warriors are tough in appearance and well-equipped, and are also at the level of the main army. In comparison, the expeditionary force all turned into beggars, and those mercenaries, hunters, and adventurers who spent most of their lives in Eternal Night were simply worse than beggars.

Song Hu had already received the news and immediately came out to greet him.

A black-faced man jumped down from the leading truck, strode up to Song Hu, and said: "Ningyuan Heavy Industry Internal Security Force, the Third Special Reinforcement Company, come to report!"

Song Hu nodded and pointed to the side, "That camp is where you will be stationed. Vehicles are parked in the parking lot in the side yard. Heavy equipment is inventoried and stored, and light equipment is carried with you."

"Yes, sir!" The black-faced company commander gave Song Hu a military salute, and then began to make arrangements for the garrison. The soldiers from Ningyuan Heavy Industry quickly got out of the car, moved equipment, and arranged the camp. Everything was in order. During the whole process, no one made any small talk except for necessary orders and inquiries.

This company was sent by Song Zining to **** the Song clan’s exam rewards. It was also Song Zining’s first investment in the Dark Fire Mercenary Group. After completing the delivery of escorted arms, they will be incorporated into the Dark Fire Mercenary Group on the spot. This company will be worth half of the shares of the Dark Fire Mercenary Group.

In fact, in terms of combat power, it is entirely possible for this special company to defeat the entire Dark Fire on the battlefield, of course, if Qianye does not go into battle. Therefore, if any outsiders knew about this converted price, they would probably think that Song Zining had suffered a big loss. Even Qianye thought so.

However, Song Zining did not calculate this way. He believed that Qianye alone was equivalent to a division, and in the future he would be equivalent to a group army, or even more. Calculated this way, he still took advantage of it.

While the internal guards of Ningyuan Heavy Industry were busy, there were other people in the station who were paying attention to their actions. In addition to the old team of bloodline seeds saved by Qianye, Dark Fire had just annexed two nearby Mercenary group.

The top brass of the former mercenary group looked very ugly at this time. They compared it secretly in their hearts, and then found that even if they pulled out four or five hundred soldiers, they would be inferior to the special reinforced company of more than a hundred people in front of them. If you meet him, he will probably be beaten to a pulp. Not to mention the number of heavy weapons that were constantly being moved out of the car was mind-numbing.

At this moment, even if the senior officials of these former mercenary groups still had some small thoughts in their hearts, they all disappeared.

Qianye returned to the Dark Fire Station with a heavy heart. What he saw was such a lively scene, and his somewhat depressed mood could not help but be lifted up. In Qianye and Song Zining's plan, the current expansion is just the beginning.

In the next period of time, Song Zining will recruit at least 500 soldiers in the name of Ningyuan Heavy Industry, organize them into a battalion, and join the Dark Fire Mercenary Group again. This kind of personnel reorganization and equipment allocation will continue, and will eventually reach the strength of a regiment of the empire's main army, which will serve as the start of their westward expansion plan.

After Qianye met Song Hu and the black-faced company commander Duan Hao, he dealt with the affairs of the mercenary group for a while, then rubbed his tired eyes and stood in front of the map, looking at several westward marches in his mind Route, weigh and compare repeatedly.

However, when making such a major plan, no route is foolproof. One of the most important problems is the instability of the rear. A new 7th Division with an unclear attitude is always a hidden danger. Qianye is not sure whether his home base will be raided by the expeditionary force when he marches into the dark country and expands his territory.

Qianye thought for a long time, but there was no better way, unless Dark Fire expanded again and could leave enough troops while advancing westward to ensure that the old nest would not be raided.

But this approach is not feasible. On the one hand, Qianye's financial resources have reached the upper limit, and if the troops expand too quickly and do not have enough battles to break up, the overall combat strength will decline. In addition, there is a civil war with the expeditionary force in the defense zone of the 7th Division. It is almost obvious that they will suffer heavy losses.

Then continue to defend?

Qianye thought for a while and rejected this option. After a round of violent expansion, taking on some tasks of defending small towns in and around the Blackstream City Defense Zone, it was no longer possible to support such a large-scale hidden fire. If Qianye could get half of the war zone, that would be enough. Then the problem returned to the original point. With the 7th Division here, how could he be allowed to take away so many resources?

Although Qianye hesitated for a few days, the expansion of Dark Fire was still proceeding step by step.

Song Hu was extremely busy. He had to redeploy officers, reorganize troops, manage base construction, and was distracted from reconnaissance on the westward route. Of course, he also grabbed Ah Qi, Ah Jiu, the Wu brothers and sisters, and other outstanding warriors from the seeds to share the important tasks. This was also an opportunity to cultivate new blood in the mercenary group.

Qianye spends most of his time practicing. He has just been promoted to level nine and needs to solidify his foundation. The rest of the time is spent repeatedly considering his future action plan and discussing some ideas with Song Zining through letters.

During these relatively peaceful days, a small group of experienced adventurers came to Blackstream City and asked to see Qianye.
