Outside the city, there was a slaughter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Imperial army had long since retreated, and only the traces of the huge camp outside the city, and the desolation of the city, silently told of the great battle a few days ago.

Even during the day, the city is lifeless, with the doors of every house closed, and only a few pedestrians can be seen on the streets, all of whom are hurrying by. Only a handful of people are still working, transporting truckloads of corpses outside the city to dig pits and bury them. There was no one to follow along the way, no one to cry, these were unclaimed corpses, and in the end, no one could be found willing to cry for them.

The pedestrians on the side of the road, as well as the people standing in front of the windows, all looked at the corpse truck with indifferent eyes, occasionally showing sadness and hatred in their eyes, but most of the time they were indifferent.

The city guards of Tingchao City had long been dispersed, and the surviving soldiers had all taken off their uniforms and hid in their homes, refusing to reveal their identities. The morale of the people of the whole city has been knocked out. Even Luo Bingfeng, whom they regarded as a god, had died in battle, not to mention that there were rumors that in Luo Bingfeng's death, the Heavenly King Zhang Buzhou also secretly attacked. It is the reliance of people's hearts, and it collapses, like a holy mountain at this moment.

The retreat of the Imperial army was very abrupt, and it was completely removed in almost half a day, and all the equipment that was too late to take away was destroyed on the spot. In Tingchao City, there has been a power vacuum in the past two days. However, there were no major riots in the city, and there were no looting or rapes.

This is because in the battle of that day, not only the city guards of Tingchao City were fighting, but many enthusiastic and brave citizens also took up arms and participated in the defense.

But in the face of the Empire's superior firepower, especially from the raining down of ships overhead, all fortifications that were considered impregnable were vulnerable. Those mercenaries, who were originally not looked down upon at all, were armed to the teeth by Song Zining, and with some clumsy but firm tactical movements, they squeezed the defensive space of the city guards little by little, until their defense line was completely destroyed.

Song Zining, with unprecedented warship and heavy artillery support, short-term but extreme training, and flawless command and coordination of various services, taught the major powers in the neutral land a good lesson and made them understand what regular warfare in the empire was.

After entering Tingchao City, Song Zining used iron-blooded means to clean up the order in the city. Anyone who does not listen to the restraint and takes advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble will be killed on the spot and will not need to be considered. So far, the good deeds in Tide City have been killed during the defensive war, and another group has been killed after the empire enters the city, and there are not many left.

Those who are still alive still remember Song Zining's cruel methods, although the imperial army is gone, no one knows whether they will come back, and they don't know what they will do when they return. Nearly two days passed, and no one came out to organize order, let alone reconvene the city guards. The once largest city of the Terrans is now undefended.

When the ships of the Eternal Night Alliance appeared, it was such a city in front of the Eternal Flame.

At this moment, the Demon Descendants have merged with the troops that arrived in advance, and their strength has increased greatly, and they can be on an equal footing with the Blood Clan and the Spider Demon Army. After looking at the spatial passage at the Holy Mountain, the Eternal Flame only said one sentence: "The passage will open the day after tomorrow and last for one day." ”

Naturally, the words of the Eternal Flame could not be wrong, and the entire Eternal Night Alliance immediately boiled, reorganized and encamped as quickly as possible, and sent an army to take over the defense of Listening Tide City.

The whole takeover process went unusually well, with no resistance or expected attack, and control was handed over peacefully. So much so that the Demon Duke who was in charge of taking over was a little confused, and kept asking left and right if this city was previously the territory of Eternal Night and not Terrans.

After taking over the city, the three clans had no intention of taking deep control, and only set a curfew. After all, there was only one day left before the passage opened, and the time was extremely tight, and no one was in the mood to go to trouble the city citizens.

The strong ones have a lot of things to do, such as detecting the situation on the other side of the channel, using the Heavenly Machine Technique to deduce future risks, observing the condition of the channel, and so on. The most important thing is how many people can be sent in, and in what order.

The Great Vortex Passage was opened, and Eternal Night knew that it was already later than the Empire, and the Demon Descendants who came early and the Ringar fleet itself were the closest troops to the Neutral Land. As a result, Lin Jiaer's fleet was disabled by Qianye, and the demon descendants who arrived earlier were suppressed to death by the force displayed by Song Zining, and they didn't dare to come forward at all. They didn't expect Song Zining to be so decisive, brazenly gathered all his forces, defeated Tingchao City in one fell swoop, and sent people into the maelstrom first.

Now there is a problem in front of Eternal Night. Those who go first are likely to encounter an ambush from the Empire, and everyone knows that the moment they pass through the passage is the weakest. But if you enter it late, the passage itself will become unstable, and you may die in the process of crossing before the Empire ambushes.

Moreover, because of the haste of the matter, the Eternal Night tribes did not have time to negotiate a plan acceptable to all the tribes, and only roughly decided on their respective quotas, and hurried to the neutral place. Neither the Bloodclan nor the Spider Demon expected the Eternal Flame to suddenly appear. This also means that things that were originally talked about are about the same, and there are side variables.

Although the Eternal Flame is strong, the Blood Clan and the Spider Demon Clan are not weak, and if you want to talk about famous guns, they all have one each. So a slight concession can be discussed, if you want to make the blood clan and the spider demon make a big concession, then don't even think about it. Medanzo and Loxa, though not in neutral places, are similar to being on the scene.

With so many things, it's even more difficult to deal with them in one day.

Outside the city, the mountains have been covered in snow and ice, with black rocks and white snow stacked on top of each other, creating a natural ink painting.

On a rock, a thin, thin figure stood. It was a young girl, with some messy long hair flying in the cold wind, her little face was a little pale from the cold, and the tip of her nose was a little red. Her breath turned to white mist, and frost had accumulated on her eyebrows and even her eyelashes.

She wore a shabby linen cloak that she subconsciously wrapped around whenever a cold wind blew. However, the linen cloth is naturally breathable, and the warmth is really lackluster, and she will still shiver from the cold.

Behind her, there was a rectangular protrusion, I don't know what it was, completely wrapped under the cloak.

She stood on the rocks, looking out at the city of Listening to the tide in the distance. From this position, you can also see a number of floating warships hovering over Tingchao City. At this moment, the sky of Tingchao City is overcast, and the heavy clouds slowly rotate around Tingchao City, like an inverted huge sea whirlpool, which makes people breathless.

The slightly sharper powerhouses could feel the surging power of the mountains and seas in the very center of the Heavenly Vortex. Even the Duke would tremble before this terrifying force. It was the Eternal Flame, and he was exploring and stabilizing the Maelstrom passage with his own power, and the huge and terrifying cloud vortex in the sky was nothing more than the response of heaven and earth to his power.

The girl looked at the cloud vortex for a while, then suddenly turned her head and looked down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a young man was climbing to the top. His movements were light and nimble, and he looked like a normal person, only slightly agile. But on the steep slopes covered with snow, he climbed with great ease, and in a moment he stood in front of the girl.

"See you again. He greeted the girl with a smile, his smile as pure and clear as the sun, and even the cold and gloom around him were dispelled by his smile.

The girl looked at him with a thoughtful look.

The young man said again: "My name is Anwen, have you forgotten me?"

The girl shook her head, "No, it's just me...... Now I think things are a little slow. ”

An Wen glanced at the huge Celestial Vortex in the sky and said lightly, "This is normal, within the power of that Highness, anyone will be affected." Come, put this on, and you'll be fine. ”

As he spoke, Anwen took out a necklace and handed it to the girl. The necklace is plain in style, with a drop-shaped bead made of black crystal hanging from it. The girl didn't think much about it, but put the necklace on, and it looked much more soothing.

A cold wind swept by, Anwen seemed to be a little cold, rubbed his hands, and said, "I really didn't expect you to come, but you have always been very bold, which is not surprising." He looked at the girl, and saw that she was still barefoot, and her skin was as white as snow when she stepped on the snow-covered rocks.

"Is it cold?" he asked.

The girl nodded, then shook her head again.

An Wen sighed and stroked a ring on his hand, and the temperature around him immediately rose slowly, and in the blink of an eye, there was a sense of spring.

As soon as the temperature on this side rose, I saw a few black shadows flying out of Tingchao City, flying towards this side like arrows, and surrounded the two of them in a blink of an eye. When the three demonic generals saw An Wen, they all changed color and bowed. Anwen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, didn't you see that I was seeing my friends?

"Yes, young master. The three demon generals had already heard Anwen's displeasure and quickly left.

When they left, An Wen smiled bitterly: "You also saw it, if I want you to warm up, there will be so much trouble." Why don't you wear more? This is the power of His Highness, and if you feel cold, you really feel cold. Can't you feel it?"

"Cold. ”

Anwen shook his head, "Forget it, I can't do anything about you." Well, I'll give you clothes and boots, and I'll get them ready right away. ”

"Don't. ”

"Why? They're not top-notch, but they should be good. There are a lot of features, you know when you use it. Anwen grabbed his hair and added: "When the matter is over here, I'll order you a set of top-level equipment." I still have some shares, which should be enough to pay the bills. ”

"Don't. The girl still shook her head.

"Why?" Anwen was really distressed.

The girl finally said a few more words: "The body is the best eye." With more gear, I can't feel the movement of my prey. ”
