Chapter 20 The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop
"The minister does not dare to exceed the title of emperor. Lin Xitang didn't move.
Emperor Hao leaned over and grabbed Lin Xitang's arm, and the mist swirled out from around him, blue and almost black, filling the entire hall in just a few breaths. The center of the mist surged violently, like a storm sweeping, faintly revealing the illusion of a snake with nine scales on its back.
Suddenly, two huge black shadows swept by, and it was the snake blade that spread its wings.
Lin Xitang's always calm expression was shattered at this moment.
Teng Snake is the family crest of the Great Qin Emperor's family, with a golden claw Xuan body, but there has never been a totem with the wings of the Emperor! Only a very few people vaguely know that the talent totem handed down by the imperial family is not complete.
"Teng snake in the vast wilderness, bathing in water, golden claws, thunder horns, wings cover the abyss. Emperor Hao said slowly: "This is the full form of Taizu's talent totem. ”
Lin Xitang's held arm trembled slightly, and suddenly a layer of light blue thin ice appeared from his elbow out of thin air and quickly spread to his fingertips.
The nearby blue-black mist immediately split into wisps and condensed into a five-finger shape, removing the thin ice. The thin ice turned into black flames when it was separated from the body, and each core was as red as a drop of blood, and then it was pinched out by the five fingers in the palm of the hand.
"Without the tiger and wolf medicine refined by Gu Tuohai, wouldn't you be able to suppress the old wound?" Emperor Hao's face couldn't see any emotion.
Lin Xitang leaned into the sofa, closed his eyes weakly, and did not speak.
"Aren't you happy? Finally, we can know that we are on the right path. Since Taizu planned the 'beginning of Zaiyao', it has been 1,120 years, sacrificing countless emperors' blood and Tianyan opportunities, but no one knows if it makes sense to do so. Now that the talent totem has awakened, it means that Dawn is truly reviving and growing. In this world of eternal night, darkness is no longer the only god, and the revival of the human race only needs time. ”
Lin Xitang's expression softened, and he said in a low voice: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." After a pause, he sighed lightly: "Then the opening of a new world, Your Majesty should understand what is going on?"
Emperor Hao's eyes changed slightly, the rumors of the new world rose after Lin Xitang entered the Tianji Pavilion, but he didn't ask him where he learned after all, he simply replied: "It's true, but the world itself is unknown." ”
"If the situation changes so dramatically, expanding the war on land is not a good option. ”
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and with the current situation on the floating land, it is not that we can stop if we want to stop the war. Emperor Hao patiently explained: "So if they want to fight, let them fight, otherwise the people's hearts will be uncontrollable, there is no opportunity here, they will look for opportunities in other places." ”
Lin Xitang suddenly opened his eyes.
"Since they want your authority, see if they have the ability to hold it. Emperor Hao said lightly: "King Qingyang once said that there are so many strong people and heavenly machines in Great Qin, and they can't let you stand alone." I think he's right. ”
Lin Xitang couldn't help frowning, Zhang Boqian's original words probably meant this, and the words were much more ugly than this.
"Since the military headquarters has a good reason to ask for war this time, it is rare that the Immortal King is not stingy with the strength of the Praetorian Guard, so it will be as they wish, if they can pocket the floating land, there will be no harm. As for who, what they are calculating, what they are planning, and how the war is progressing, they will always know. ”
Lin Xitang's face changed slightly, as if he knew his monarch for the first time, and asked in a deep voice: "Then who is leading the other main line?"
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 dead silence.
When Emperor Hao walked out of the Tianji Pavilion, it was already in the middle of the moon. He stood on the white jade steps, overlooking the imperial capital in the night, and then raised his hand in front of him, clenching his palms into a fist, as if holding the lights of thousands of homes.
"Father, you see, I have finally become the person I ever hated the most. "The Great Qin Supreme wore moonlight on his shoulders and muttered to himself.
Under the steps, in the shadows, there stood several attendants, deaf, silent, and immovable, like venerable puppets.
There is no day or night in the void, only fierce battlefields.
There was still a little time before the reinforcements of the Eternal Night arrived on the battlefield, and the Imperial warships were almost like crazy, desperately smashing their artillery fire on their opponents. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the two Grand Duke ships changed their strategy and no longer stumbled, but rushed to the periphery separately.
When they insist on breaking through, there is little the Empire can do. The two destroyers, which were desperately blocking the way, were directly bombarded in two by the main guns of the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke ship crashed directly through the still burning wreckage and rushed out of the encirclement of the Imperial warship.
Not far away, the right minister stood on the bridge that was still filled with the thick smell of gunsmoke, staring at the two grand dukes, not knowing what to think. He suddenly turned around and said in a hoarse voice: "Order! This ship will make a detour at full speed, stop that one for me......"
In the middle of his sentence, his voice suddenly became hoarse. An old minister smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, our ship is almost unable to move. I can't stop it. ”
The bridge is full of strategists, who are usually good at intrigue and intrigues, and even if they have the Force level, they have little experience in frontal combat. But now what the right minister sees is that everyone is injured, and they are all just hastily wrapped. The most seriously injured man lost his entire calf, and he leaned 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 is still bright-eyed and can kill the enemy at any time. The injuries on his body seem to have been forgotten.
The other side of the bridge was scorched black, and there was a large hole in the bulkhead, and the cold breath kept blowing in, but it couldn't blow away the scorching heat that the embers were still unbroken.
There were many corpses lying on the floor, including a few of the advisors and crews, and more of them warriors of the Dark Race. At the height of the fierce battle, a large number of Dark Race warriors engaged in broadside battles, regardless of battle damage, in an attempt to capture the ship. If the Imperial flagship can be captured, it will be a serious blow to the morale and prestige of the entire Empire.
Those who managed to break through to the bridge were all strong, and one of the marquis and two counts were killed by their own hands. And the other advisers are also fighting to the death. No matter what kind of behavior they usually have, at this moment of life and death, none of them showed a state of cowering.
After seeing the subordinates who were still alive, the right minister nodded slowly and said, "You wait, you don't have to bear me." ”
This is the highest evaluation that the right minister can say, everyone is happy, but the right minister is a sigh: "It's a pity that the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky." But I am a loser of the empire. ”
He raised his left hand and said slowly: "Order the whole army, withdraw ......"
An order is a foregone conclusion. Although in terms of results, the Imperial fleet had a far advantage, but this battle was lost. Letting go of the two Dagong-class warships and failing to seize control of outer space will have a fatal impact on the entire battle situation. Perhaps the battle of the floating land will be protracted from now on, and it will become a black hole that will devour the flesh and blood of the imperial soldiers. Such a protracted war is the last thing the empire is willing to face, and I am afraid that if it persists for a while, it will withdraw its troops.
It was with this command that it was extraordinarily long. Even the right minister himself subconsciously doesn't want to say it.
The word "retreat" had been lingering on his lips a few times, and just as he was about to spit it out, a strategist suddenly shouted: "That, what is that?!"
Startled, the right side turned his head to look in the direction of the man's finger. I saw a large shadow suddenly cover the battlefield, and slowly move over the battleship that was still fighting fiercely.
In the darkness, a little brilliant light suddenly appeared, with a seven-colored wake, and fell towards a grand duke-class ship that had just rushed to the periphery.
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. The fire passed, and a large hole had been blown out of the stern of the ship, and the speed of the entire battleship was slightly slow, and it was obvious that the power system had also been affected a little.
The power of this blow was truly staggering, but some people were even more surprised than the generals of the Empire.
In one of the battleships of the Eternal Night reinforcements in the distance, Lin Jiaer jumped up directly from his seat, gritted his teeth and shouted, "It's him!"
A curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiaer, and on it was an elderly demon descendant with a majestic face. His eyes were like lightning, he stared at Lin Jiaer, and said coldly, "What's so alarming?"
Lin Jiaer got up and saluted, and said, "Seeing that the human race is still in ambush, I am panicked for a while, please forgive me." ”
The elder demon snorted and said, "Panic, what do you look like! No wonder you lost most of your fleet." Now that you're working under me, you're going to have to look a little bit like that. If the battle is unfavorable later, I won't look at anyone's feelings, and I will punish how I should be punished!"
"I remember. Lin Jiaer looked very well-behaved.
The older demon was satisfied, and the curtain of light dispersed.
Lin Jiaer gritted his teeth secretly, his face looked a little hideous, and he glared fiercely at the place where the light curtain appeared. At this time, a henchman next to him lowered his voice and said, "Isn't that your Shen Lu?"
"Shut up!" Lin Jiaer glared at him fiercely, causing him to swallow back all the words below.
Lin Jiaer looked into the distance, his face gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The Eternal Night reinforcement fleet sped up again, wanting to rush to the battlefield. On the battlefield, the Grand Duke ship, which had suffered an unexpected blow, was a little panicked at first, but quickly adjusted. It did not rush to escape, but circled in place, resisting on the spot, while summoning the remaining ships of the eternal night to come over and reorganize the defensive line.
When the Grand Duke is in full swing, it becomes extremely tricky. The Imperial battleships were a threat to it enough, but they didn't dare to fight hard. Below the battleship, any battleship that was hit by its main guns could be destroyed with a single blow, and even the most heroic captain would not dare to get too close.
At this moment, another colorful light smashed down in the void. This time, the Grand Duke Ship had already prepared, dozens of secondary guns were fired together, and it was obvious that a strong man personally operated the guns, and the shots were extremely accurate, and the colorful light that fell down was exploded in the air.
But before the people on the ship could cheer, a huge shadow enveloped the entire Grand Duke ship!
Valhalla descended from the sky and slammed into the Grand Duke's ship. In front of Valhalla, the Grand Duke Ship is completely a small boat, and the three of them add up to the length of Valhalla. When it was hit by Valhalla like this, it immediately rolled out, and the entire dent where it was hit was obviously not lightly damaged.
However, this is not the whole story of bad luck, it is only the beginning.
