The overall situation of the floating land has been decided, and Qianye decided to leave and return to a neutral place, leaving Song Zining to deal with the aftermath.

Song Zining also learned of Lin Shuai's fall at this time, he looked at Qianye, who had regained his calm, and couldn't even see anything unusual on the surface, he only sighed, and the two were relatively silent, and they didn't even have a word of conversation.

Words have never been so empty and useless as this moment, and there are some pains that you can't bear to even touch them.

When the dark fire came, a huge fleet was formed, but when it came back, it was very empty, most of the troop transports were empty, and even some of the ships were not able to gather their crews, and no one could drive them.

Song Zining discussed with Qianye and simply sold many transport ships to the empire. After this battle, although Eternal Night suffered heavy losses, the Empire also saw the benefits of large-scale airborne operations by transports. The transport ships in the neutral land, although dilapidated, are reliable and robust, easy to maintain, and suitable for military use.

There are too many corpses of mercenaries and Zhao Lord's private army, and it is not easy to distinguish them from the dark race, and it is impossible to identify them one by one, and some of those who died in Valhalla have been buried in the void.

It was common practice for the Empire to put away all the nameplates of the warriors it could find, then incinerate the corpses, bury the ashes, and erect a monument on the site of the White City.

At the end of the simple but solemn ceremony, Qianye took the surviving veterans of the dark fire and set off for home.

The fleet consisted of battle cruisers as flagships, frigates on both wings, and a large convoy of transport ships in the center. The fleet was almost wounded and slow, so Thousand Nights sent Valhalla back to the Hokmainland to rest and repair its equipment. In addition, the Hokkiku environment is mild, which is also good for Carol's injury.

The road was calm, and the fleet slowly sailed towards a neutral place. Although it was slow, after a few days, the neutral place was also in sight.

Qianye stood at the porthole of the bridge, looking ahead. At the end of the void, a neutral place looms. From afar, it was a scattered mass of land, wrapped in a circle of mist. Only by looking from afar can you vaguely see the traces of the fall of the Xugu Star back then.

As the neutral ground approached, the captain repositioned the course, led by the battle cruiser, and the huge fleet quietly deflected an angle and sailed towards the neutral place.

To outsiders, there are land blocks in front of them, and that hazy fog can only be seen by a thousand nights. As the battlecruiser rushed into the fog, a subtle sizzling sound sounded throughout the ship's interior, and many instrument pointers jumped sharply, and some instruments even spewed sparks.

"Damn, it's like this again!" the captain cursed, then released the Force, shielded the cockpit, and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and overhaul it?" By the way, look for those old models, the older the better!"

The crew quickly started to work, and the captain urged a few more words, then came to Qianye's side, and said worriedly: "My lord, I have already changed a batch of parts when I came, but now it is still not good." It's just that if you continue to change like this, it will affect the performance of this ship. ”

"That's the way it is in neutrals, and that's okay, your opponents here are antiques. Also, I'll find you a suitable place to park the boat. "Thousand Nights.

The captain's expression looked a little better, and he said, "My lord, I'm not complaining, but looking at her, I feel uncomfortable." ”

With that, the captain left the bridge and inspected the ship.

This battlecruiser is the latest warship in the Empire, the darling of every captain. Although it had been refitted once before coming to the Neutral, it was clear that the shipyard had underestimated the harsh environment of the Neutral. The layer of mist that Qianye sensed had an obvious aura of corrosion and destruction, and at the same time, it was mixed with the Void Force, and the ordinary materials that built the Force Array could not withstand its corrosion at all.

What happened on the battle patrol was just a small episode, and the fleet passed between the two landmasses, and an exceptionally large land block appeared in front of it, which was the East China Sea.

At this point, every mercenary can find their way back. The fleet headed straight for Nanqingcheng, the land mass gradually enlarged in front of him, and through a cloud layer, the outline of a city appeared on the distant horizon.

A mercenary general next to Qianye couldn't help but smile and said, "It's finally back!"

Qianye sighed in his heart and said, "Yes, I'm back." ”

An officer shouted, "Come back this time, Lord Qianye, you really have to take us to fuck the fuck well!"

Qianye was woken up by this sound, and when he looked back, the mercenaries in the bridge were very excited, and their faces were full of joy. These mercenaries are all exuding extraordinary momentum, and in addition to a few generals, there are several who have a faint tendency to break through the generals.

Qianye didn't expect him to say this, and at a glance, most of the surviving mercenaries had bright eyes and looked at him eagerly. The people who are still with Qianye are all survivors of the First Battle of White City. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, many showed signs of a breakthrough.

Qianye originally thought that nine out of ten of the Dark Fire mercenaries died in this battle, and those who were still alive should have been devastated, even if they didn't plan to quit the mercenary group completely, they should want to stay away from the battlefield. But I didn't expect that after a big war, it seemed to have completely ignited these people.

"We've lost so many brothers this time, I thought you'd want to rest for a while before you make plans. "Thousand Nights.

A group of mercenaries, you look at me, I look at you, and finally pushed a general in his early thirties out.

This general was originally the leader of a small mercenary group, and later led the entire mercenary group to merge into the dark fire under the threat and lure of Ji Tianqing. Among the original Dark Fire Generals, he was not very outstanding, but he miraculously survived the Battle of White City. Now among the surviving mercenaries, he was originally the highest and the strongest in combat power, so he was publicly released.

He saluted Qianye first, and then said: "Lord Qianye, our mercenaries originally lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, which one will have a good death? Dying on the battlefield is a good ending, and the most feared thing is that when you get old, you will be injured, and you will not be able to go to the battlefield or do heavy work, so it can be said that life is better than death." In the past, even if there was a mercenary group to take care of it, it was nothing more than to prevent everyone from starving to death in their old age, but it was not much better. ”

Qianye nodded, this is the most common ending for mercenaries in the Neutral Lands. According to Song Zining, this is also the rule of nature. In order to survive, the Terrans in the Neutral Land have greatly increased their fertility and improved their individual strength even faster. But a neutral place could not support so many people, so brutal warfare was the way to reduce the population.

Mercenary groups, large and small, were born to fight. Either they are hired to fight with people, or they fight with each other, in short, they have to fight, they have to die, otherwise no one will survive.

Even more cruel than this is the Eternal Night Continent, which is located at the bottom of the world, with even more poor resources, even if it is young and strong, and cannot get out of the garbage dump, it still survives like a beast.

The general paused for a moment and continued: "This bloody battle, in the final analysis, is just the fate of people like us, and it is not a big deal. But this time is different from the past, those brothers who died in the war at least died with dignity. At least their wives and families don't have to be sent under the fence and bullied. You and Lord Zining took us to fight this battle, so that we can understand that we mercenaries can also die with dignity and without concern. ”

Chiya didn't expect this to be the case at all.

The mercenaries who died in the White City this time were all paid by the empire according to the standards of the regular army, which was also one of the conditions for participating in the war at the beginning. Qianye didn't expect that there was a monument after death, which would mean so much to these mercenaries.

In addition, the Empire's standard bereavement pension is also of great significance to mercenaries in neutral places, and their families can at least live with peace of mind. In the past, mercenary groups were disbanded because they could not pay pensions, and once the mercenaries died in battle, it was a catastrophe for the family, and it was not uncommon for wives and daughters to become prostitutes.

The general looked back at his companion and said, "My lord, in fact, we have discussed it before, and with you and Lord Zining, we know that we mercenaries are also human." So we won't leave, but we want to continue to follow you and lay a ground!"

Before Qianye could speak, another elderly general said again: "Lord Qianye, this time the bereavement is divided into three parts, just send one part, and the remaining two will remain in the dark fire." The Dark Fire has developed since then, and you will not forget us. ”

Qianye smiled bitterly, "You trust me so much......"

"When you're in White City, you're always in the most dangerous place. ”

"Yes, the same is true of Lord Zining. ”

"I can stand here alive because you pulled me out from under the claws of that werewolf!"

A group of mercenary generals chattered and kept talking.

The leader of the general raised his hand and pressed it lightly, waiting for everyone to be quieter, Fang said: "My lord, although we mercenaries are nothing, we can tell who is the real hero and who is worthy of our sincere follow! You don't have to shirk, what you need us to do in the future, just give us an order! Even if it is to fight a battle like Baicheng again, there is no difference!"

Looking at these mercenaries who had survived the catastrophe, Qianye couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The mercenaries live a precarious life, nothing more than for money. The Empire has always been generous in its warrior pensions, and the standard is completely astronomical for a mercenary in a neutral land. These mercenaries are willing to give up more than half of their pensions, which shows their determination to follow Qianye and rebuild the dark fire.

One of the oldest mercenaries said, "Lord Thousand Nights, that's it, the pension we left behind is much higher than that of other mercenary groups. I believe that as long as you take us for a day, you will not let the families of those brothers who died in the war be wronged. ”

The words have been said for this part, and Qianye suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. This sentence promised, not only to be responsible for the surviving mercenaries in front of him, but also to the families of those mercenaries who died in battle, that is more than 100,000 people.

The leader of the general said in a deep voice, "Lord Qianye, as long as you want, the initial reconstruction is not a problem. Many of the descendants of those brothers who died in battle have grown quite large. We are in a neutral place, even if we are adults after the age of ten, give them a gun, and it will definitely not be bad on the battlefield!"

Qianye finally nodded and said, "Okay, follow me well in the future, and I will take you to the next big world!"

During the battle patrol, a tsunami-like cheer suddenly broke out!

A seed, that's it.

The fleet sailed all the way, the wind and waves were calm, and no one who didn't open their eyes wanted to come over and rob. Even the most vicious pirates in outer space, after seeing that battle patrol, they will put away all their thoughts that they shouldn't have and quietly retreat.

A frigate sailed to Nanqingcheng first, hovering over the city for several weeks, and when it saw that there was nothing unusual, it sent a signal. The huge fleet sailed to Nanqingcheng and landed at the take-off and landing ground one by one.

Ji Rui, the nominal city lord of Nanqing, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Qianye walking towards the battle patrol, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and said loudly from afar: "The return of the great victory is really gratifying!"

Qianye shook his head and said lightly: "Almost all the brothers died in battle, what is there to celebrate?"

Ji Rui was taken aback, "All of them are killed in battle, won't they? You should have a ...... when you go 50,000 people, right?"

"That's all for the return. Qianye pointed behind him.

The surviving mercenaries who came down from the battlecruiser were only a few hundred, and they all looked thin in front of the battlecruiser's huge hull, let alone compared to the entire fleet.

Ji Rui looked carefully at the surviving mercenaries, and suddenly said, "They are all talents!"
