Qianye looked up and saw Wei Bonian's expression, and the thought in her heart turned around, and she understood what he meant.

The headquarters of the expeditionary force is still deploying this theater according to conventional warfare, but the strength of the dark army has obviously far exceeded expectations, and if the troops sweep away, several divisions stationed in this area of Trois-Rivières will be severely damaged, and one or two divisions may even be canceled.

And if Wei Bainian's strategy of defending the fortified city alone can succeed in resisting it, he can preserve his strength to the greatest extent. When this war is over, under the elimination of one and the other, there will be a situation in which Wei Bonian's Seventh Division will dominate in Sanhe County. At that time, with the military exploits of Qianye, and then take the opportunity to expand the scale of the mercenary group, he will have the qualification to dominate the city.

Qianye let out a long sigh and admired Wei Bainian very much. Song Hu once told him that Wei Bonian's way of using troops is better than defense, so his reputation will not be obvious, and most of the fierce warriors of the empire are recited by people as fierce generals. But it wasn't until today that Chiya really understood the meaning of the word "defense".

And Song Hu is really not a good person, he once had the opportunity to sit in the position of chief of staff of the first division of the main army, so he guessed Wei Bonian's intentions from only clues, listening to his previous meaning, he still agreed with Wei Bonian's ruthless layout.

Such characters, when they came to this position, sure enough, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps.

Qianye suddenly felt a little headache, if he followed the current trajectory and began to move forward step by step, just like Wei Bonian promised him, after the war, according to a city, it is not impossible to get another land in the future, or even a county, and at that time, the people he will deal with will be Wei Bonian, Song Hu and other people. Compared with them, it was no wonder that Song Hu felt that Gu Liyu was not enough to see it at the beginning.

It's just that although this kind of layout can be understood and understood, I always feel a little depressed beyond words.

Looking at the empire, there may be only one Zhang Boqian who never engages in these roundabout things, his behavior is really unscrupulous, he can do whatever he wants, and most of the time even the imperial family does not pay attention to it. But no matter what Zhang Boqian did, he would only win one-sided applause, and those who dared to risk death to accuse Zhang Boqian were really dead.

Qianye didn't know why Lu Dao would think of Zhang Boqian, who was unfamiliar with it and had only heard rumors, at this time. Perhaps, like many hot-blooded young people in the empire, before the passion was worn out by reality, he subconsciously yearned for Zhang Boqian's style of acting.

Zhang Shuai kills people and never relents.

The situation was as Wei Bonian expected, the dark army was unstoppable, and directly swept away all the towns between Blackflow City and the border. With tens of thousands of cannon fodder and thousands of regular warriors, including all major races from werewolves to demons, such an army has no weaknesses at all, and is not afraid of all sneak attacks and ambushes, and can only meet them head-on.

Wei Bonian contracted the front in advance, gathering all the people and things that could be evacuated to Blackstream City. The civilians who were willing to retreat with the army all entered Blackstream City, and those who refused to withdraw had no time to persuade at all, and they were all left in place. When the army of the dark race crosses the border, the fate of these people is self-evident.

The entire Seventh Division retreated to Blackstream City, and even the scouts were not released much, and the range was only around the city.

Every corner of the city was rushing day and night, large machinery that had not been used for a long time spewed steam, white mist shrouded most of the city from morning to night, and a fortress gradually took shape.

All daily life revolves around defense, and all supplies are unconditionally requisitioned as long as they are military supplies. Naturally, there are many people in the city who rely on their identity and background, and resist not being requisitioned from the dispatch, and some people even hoard Juqi, wanting to take advantage of the turmoil to make a fortune. At this time, Wei Bonian showed thunderous methods, killing several various sons, and shocked everyone at once.

Now the population of the entire Black Stream City has reached more than 100,000, and the entire army of the Seventh Division is stationed here, and 20,000 temporary soldiers have been recruited. Blackstream City is like a hedgehog curled up in a ball, waiting for the beast to come to the door.

Wei Bonian's move is tactically weak and strong, and he is invulnerable, but it is not without trouble. In the imperial military law, the responsibility to defend the territory is ranked in the top ten laws, such as Wei Bainian's practice of opening up the defense zone and allowing the dark race to pass will be greatly criticized, and may even be removed from office on the spot.

However, Wei Bonian was very calm, and the military exploits of killing two generals were enough to offset the punishment of retreating without a fight, which was also his intention to gather troops to suppress the front line in Hei Mu at the beginning.

Seven days after the celebration reception, Blackstream City finally welcomed the army of the dark race.

When tens of thousands of dark armies appeared outside the city, all those who had clamored to go out of the city and fight for every inch of land were silenced. The number is not desperate, what really makes people dare not look directly is above the dense battle array, the thick clouds have turned into huge whirlpools, with the dark army as the core slowly swirling.

At the center of the whirlpool, you can see five faint pillars of light rising into the sky, connecting with the center of the whirlpool. This is a shocking scene that can only be produced by the strong power of the dark side when the momentum is released, causing the force to move between heaven and earth. In other words, there are five general-level powerhouses who command this army!

In the center of the battle array, five figures with different high and low forms, but with the same momentum, slowly rose into the air, looking at the Black Flow City that was waiting for the battle.

"It's a bit of a hassle. ”

"What's the trouble? It's just a small town. ”

"But how many casualties will our fighters have?"

"They only have one fighter. ”

"Don't forget, Brahms and Sodo both died at the hands of this man. You can't stop him, and neither can I. A despicable human powerhouse, if the battle situation is not good, he will leave the battlefield, if he takes down the city, but let him run, it will be meaningless. ”

Four of the Dark Warlords quickly exchanged opinions, but all of them were quite troubled by the Blackflow City, which was armed to the teeth, and there was bound to be a price to pay for the conventional siege methods.

They couldn't agree on anything, and in the end their eyes fell on the thinnest figure in the center, and only he never said a word.

This powerful earl from the Monroe family has lived for seven hundred years, and he has steadily overwhelmed the other four in terms of bloodline background and personal strength. He was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "We still have a long way to go, and this is only the first stop." ”

The other four warriors were silent for a moment. If you consume too many troops in Blackstream City, it will inevitably affect the future of the battle. They all knew some of the true background of the war, and they were also deeply smacked by the mobilized troops. Not to mention, there are nine members of the Eternal Night Council alone!

In a war of this magnitude, no one can afford to lose something because of their delays.

Then the count added: "And let us not forget that the task of our operation this time is not to occupy cities and lands. ”

The other four generals nodded their heads. The situation of this battle is special, and as for why they would receive such an order, even they are not qualified to know the inside story.

Seeing that the rest of the people did not object, the Blood Earl said slowly: "Then so be it, let's go to the next city." ”

The army of darkness did not stay long, waiting for a new order, but not to attack the city, but to retreat. This made many irascible dark warriors very dissatisfied, the human city is right in front of you, and it is full of fresh flesh and blood, such a small city, why not fight?

Many of the races in the Eternal Night camp are irritable and impatient by nature, but they forget that the outwardly gentle and cold Bloods are also ruthless, and the Monroe Clan, whose family crest is the Flower of Dread Mandala, is known for their bloodthirstiness. At that moment, dozens of noisy warriors were dragged out of the ranks and killed on the spot directly in front of the battle.

The Count's bloodshed and brutality finally subdued all dissent and brought the army back to its will.

When the dark army finally left, countless people in Blackstream City could barely believe their eyes, and they finally knew that they should maintain respect for the new master of the Seventh Division, the general who came from a gentle and elegant family.

The Dark Race also left a small force stationed in place, apparently to monitor the movements of Blackstream. At this time, most of the people in Blackstream City had returned to their 'sanity', and no one proposed to go out of the city to annihilate this army.

From this moment on, the flames of war ignited throughout the Eternal Night Continent, and the dark race mobilized an army of unprecedented proportion, divided into dozens of routes, and attacked the human territory from all directions. In just a few weeks, dozens of divisions of the expeditionary force were routed, nearly ten counties were lost in succession, and the same number of counties were in danger, the defenders had already suffered heavy losses, and the defense line could collapse at any time.

All of a sudden, the expeditionary force as a whole was dealt an extremely serious blow, and if this trend continued, it would not take more than two months for the Imperial Expeditionary Force to be completely defeated, and then the human power would be cleared out of the Eternal Night Continent for the first time in a thousand years.

The Empire finally responded, and a month after the start of the war, the Ninth Legion entered the Eternal Night. Another week later, the leading troops of the 17th and 21st Army Corps arrived at Eternal Night. At the age of two months, elite legions such as the Winged Angels, Red Scorpions, and Flame Soldiers sent their warbands into the eternal night.

Among the four major gates, the Bai family and the Zhao family began to send strong people to break into the eternal night and fight to the death with the strong men of the dark race. In the most tragic battle, the two sides killed a total of eleven general-level powerhouses.

It was an all-out war, and the entire empire, and even the two camps of Eternal Night and Dawn, were drawn into the situation and began to act.

Lin Xitang, who has always acted moderately, suddenly launched a large-scale attack on several cities in western Xinjiang where the rebels were entrenched, and for the first time adopted a high-pressure policy in some areas where the rebels were active.

Naturally, the thunderous tactics paid off in abundance, with tens of thousands of rebels captured and killed in just a few days, almost more than in the past year. Among them, it is inevitable that he will be injured by mistake, so some people among the imperial ministers criticized Lin Xitang at the court meeting, saying that he was careless of human life. However, it didn't take long for this person to be imprisoned for personal fraud and other incidents in his foreign office five years ago.

As soon as the situation in the western Xinjiang stabilized, Zhao Weihuang's wolf smoke army in the same town moved, and nearly half of the main force left the defense area and rushed to the Eternal Night Continent.

Zhang Boqian, another marshal of the Imperial Empire, has never liked this tortuous method, he led a small number of elite legions to disappear, and a few days later, the battle report came that he had brazenly attacked the Twilight Continent, the base camp of the Blood Clan.
