Chapter 149 The world changes
The news of King Dingxuan's mistake was like a thunderclap that shocked the entire empire.
When it comes to the face of the Heavenly King, only a few people know the details inside, but many people try their best to inquire, and then add oil and vinegar, and in the blink of an eye, there are countless new versions. Most of the contents of it naturally could not reach the ears of King Dingxuan.
Some say that King Dingxuan is old and frail, some say that he is careless, some say that he was ambushed by the dark race, and some even say that he is interested in seeing color. The list goes on and on.
But since this day, the name of the night pupil has spread throughout the empire overnight.
The lower class people discuss all kinds of gossip and even nonsense legends, while in the eyes of the upper class, the focus is different. Ordinary powerhouses talk about the terrifying dreams of one of the three holy weapons, and the power of the storm.
The long knife is terrifying, claiming to be able to cut through the void, with incredible sharpness, ranking among the three holy weapons of the Eternal Night Council, and its status is not under the world's famous guns.
It is said that this knife is made from the long thorn of the Void Splitting Swordfish, and is based on the thorn of the king of fish. The splitting sailfish has not been seen for hundreds of years and has long been a legend. Every time they appear, they are in groups, and each swordfish has the strength of a marquis. After all, they are also a type of Void Behemoth.
How the great power slew the king of fish among hundreds of Sky Splitting Sailfish has long been lost. But the nightmare has been passed down from generation to generation in the arsenal of the Eternal Night Council, and I didn't expect it to shine in the hands of the night pupils.
The god-level figures have all been on their own, and they have already taken a light look at the treasures, even if they are frightened dreams, they don't say a few words. They were more concerned about why the storm was in the hands of the Night Pupil.
This kind of heavy weapon of the town clan, how can it be easily borrowed. Did the werewolves compromise, or did the other three tribes discover the indispensability of the werewolves and re-invite them to join the exploration of the new world?
In their view, the storm was a sign, an important sign that could mean a change in the pattern of the entire eternal night. Now the eyes of the two camps are focused on the new world, and the local area maintains an eerie calm, but no one dares to relax, a bit like when the holy war within the Eternal Night camp has just stopped, everyone's nerves are tighter.
On a higher level, the Heavenly King and the high-ranking gods and generals focused on the night pupil itself.
This matter is too big, it wasted a hard-won opportunity to kill important people in the empire, King Dingxuan naturally did not hide it, told all the details as they were, formed a report, handed it over to Emperor Hao, and then transferred it to the kings and high-ranking generals.
King Dingxuan described the domain of the night pupil in detail, and believed that it was precisely because her domain had gathered the power of the entire army of the eternal night that she gained the power to compete with the Heavenly King in a short period of time.
This is an area that has never been seen before, but it has incredible potential. It's hard to imagine that if the realm of the Night Pupil can gather the power of more dark races, if she also ascends to the Great King in the future and leads a million army to pounce on the Empire, who can stop her?
However, there will be restrictions on the secret method of defying the sky, and there are two possible limitations in this field itself, one is whether it will increase with the increase of the night pupil level, and the number of people who can gather power will also increase, and the second is how long it can last. It's a pity that the battle was too short to reach a conclusion.
The Heavenly King and the High Divine Generals searched the scriptures, but they could not find the slightest record of this area. It also shows that, at least in the battle against the Empire, this area has never appeared.
According to King Dingxuan, when the realm was cast, the dark golden blood qi flying birds flew around, and the empire temporarily named this realm the Bird of Surprise.
Overnight, the night pupil became a major problem for the Empire.
So there was a sediment flooding, thinking that Li Feng Shui was right back then, and he should have removed this scourge a long time ago, but Li Feng Shui's vision was limited, and he always wanted to squeeze more value from her, but he didn't expect it to be planted in Qianye's hands.
When it comes to night pupils, it is natural to think of a thousand nights.
As soon as the information of Qianye was exchanged, many people were stunned to find that Qianye had become a general climate in Yonglu, as if it was already a force, and it was extremely strong, sitting on tens of millions of werewolves and millions of people, the number of troops was approaching one million, and the number of Terran warriors and mercenaries was also close to 100,000.
In terms of the strong, in addition to Qianye himself, there are also two strong men, Carol and Duke Wind, to help. This is the combat power of the three dukes god generals, and Qianye is not an ordinary god general.
Carol can't be underestimated, there is a Frost and Thunder Temple behind her, and the hall master is her younger brother, who is an out-and-out high-ranking god general, the Grand Duke. If Carol is angered, how can this hall master not come out?
Speaking of which, Duke Tempest seems to be easier to deal with. But this kind of old duke, who is old and refined, all slips and does not leave a hand, how can any of them be easy to deal with?
Those vassals of the empire in Yonglu, such as Zheng Guo and others, are not opponents of Qianye even together. And Zheng Guo is about to become a subject country of a thousand nights. At least the current lord of the country, Nan Huairuo, was single-handedly raised by Qianye.
Such a thousand nights, not to mention encirclement and suppression, he did not destroy those vassals of the empire in turn, it is already thankful.
And Qianye, how can you say that you can suppress it?
Not to mention Zhao Valve, now in the empire, headed by the Yin family and the Kong family, there are at least four high-ranking families, and more than a dozen middle-ranking and lower-ranking families are deeply involved with Qianye.
Each family has a private army fighting under Qianye, and the gold coins and supplies flowing back from Yonglu every day are enough to make the most knowledgeable elders excited, not to mention that the territories that each family has now assigned to their names have exceeded one province together.
How long has it been? Not to mention the enormous benefits of opening up a new world.
In addition, there are also rumors that Qianye has a close relationship with the Li family and the Zhiji Palace.
Many people have discovered that before they know it, Qianye has become a giant. Thinking back to the day when he was able to kill from the city that never fell, it seemed like yesterday.
At that time, Qianye was just a small person, not in the eyes of the upper echelons, and there was an outdated marshal to intercept it, which was already a big fuss, and the handsome moved the crowd. Nowadays, those so-called big people in the past can only look up to a thousand nights.
The world is changing, and nothing can happen more than that.
Many people in the empire are rich in associations, and some people have suggested that Qianye's attitude at the moment is very biased towards the empire, if he kills the night pupil, won't he force him to the side of the eternal night? At that time, wouldn't the empire have one more strong enemy? And even if he wants to kill, even the king of Dingxuan can't help the night pupil, how can the others kill?
Thousand Nights and Night Hitomi, originally both in the Empire, Thousand Nights served in the army, and Night Hitomi lived in seclusion, which was the best day. In time, Qianye will also become the pillar of optimus in the empire, and the night pupil may be incognito for the rest of his life, living by the side of Qianye with peace of mind.
It's just that this possibility, everyone can only think about it in their hearts, and no one can declare it. After all, the right path of the empire is, if it is not my race, its heart will be different.
In particular, the shadow of the blood clan is too thick for the human race, and it is almost engraved in the memory of the bloodline. As long as Qianye is really a blood clan, as long as the blood law of the blood clan still exists, he can't be trusted. Maybe one day, triggered by the long river of blood, he will become the same as today's night pupil, and become a big problem for the empire.
For this matter, Emperor Hao convened the kings and ministers in the imperial capital overnight to discuss secretly. After the courtiers and the kings discussed, they quarreled over what to do with the night pupils.
One faction thinks that it should be killed, while the other faction believes that this move will push the thousand nights into the eternal night, and the gains outweigh the losses. Besides, even if you want to kill, how can you kill her? With Nightmare and Storm in hand, who in the Empire can hold the weapons to kill her?
The quarrels were endless, and in the end, I could only ask Emperor Hao to show me.
Emperor Hao sat still, and then looked at Zhao Xuanji and said, "Youguo Gong has not spoken, I don't know what his opinion is?"
Youguo said: "All decisions made by the empire, I, Zhao Lord, will definitely do my best to implement them." ”
Emperor Hao nodded and said gently: "We all know the relationship between Qianye and Zhao Valve. You Guogong can focus on the overall situation, and I am deeply grateful. As for the night pupils......"
He was silent for a long time, staring at the wall behind the ministers, and then spit out a word: "Punishment!"
In the new world, inside the advance base, Song Zining stood in front of the big map and did not move for a long time. His hair was a little messy, his clothes were no longer as neat as new, and his eyes were bloodshot and sunk deep.
A staff officer walked in and said, "My lord, the latest battle report, Yunyang Gong was defeated, General Duan Yong was killed, and now the defeated army is on the way to retreat......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Song Zining said, "Put it on the table." ”
The staff officer carefully placed the battle report on the stack of papers on the left hand of the desk, and couldn't help but glance at the stack of papers on the right hand again.
On the left hand is a war report, and on the right hand is a report on various military supplies. Both stacks of papers were held high, but they were full of bad news, and there was very little good news.
The staff officer held his breath and stepped back lightly. Outside the office, every soldier was in a hurry, his face full of melancholy. Even some officers who were supposed to be in the rear were more or less colored.
The entire headquarters was dark, oppressive, and cold.
The staff officer remembers that not so long ago this was not the case in the command. At that time, although every day was busy, a large number of dead lists had to be dealt with every day, and the hospital was often full of wounded, everyone was strong, with a smile on their faces, even if they grinned in pain, they had to laugh loudly.
Because at that time, even if there were heavy casualties, they were always winning, and the casualties of the dark race were far higher than those of the empire. This kind of war can make people see hope, and know that as long as they persist, it must be the dark race that can't hold on.
No amount of sacrifice can be endured as long as there is hope.
But now, the casualties have increased sharply, the news of the defeat has come one after another, and those invincible generals and marshals in the past have all fallen into the sand, and many famous generals who have spent their lives on the battlefield are stained with blood and sleep forever in this strange land.
The aura on Song Zining's body is fading, and he is no longer the military god who expects the enemy to be the first and invincible. He will also miscalculate, and it will be difficult to judge the movements of the dark race, and the multi-lane mobile forces deployed outside will suffer heavy losses as a result.
In contrast, Wei Potian was stripped naked and put back in the first place, but he became the luckiest one.
PS: Thanks for the reminder, I fixed the BUG in Chapter 147.
