Chapter 25 It is impossible to escape the fetters
Qianye admitted frankly and said, "I've been a little upset lately, so I came to see the general and wanted to ask how the battle was arranged later." ”
Wei Bonian was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "This doesn't look like you, why, you are also anxious to fight?" There are really a lot of people who have come to me these days, including those from the headquarters of the expeditionary force and some hot-blooded young people in the city. ”
With the passage of time and the changes in the external battle situation, Wei Bainian's shrinkage strategy has once again experienced a wave of doubts, from the inside out, and there are also many hot-blooded young people in Blackstream City who want to fight to the death with the dark race.
However, Wei Bonian was extremely strict in commanding the army, and as long as the soldiers of the Seventh Division were in formation and temporarily recruited, no one was allowed to leave the team without authorization. When the disturbance was at its worst, several people were executed on the spot, which suppressed all opposition.
Wei Bonian thought for a while and said, "Since it's Qianye and you ask, there are some things that you might as well let you know." He stood up and pulled another map from the bookshelf and laid it out on the table.
In the corner of the map, Qianye saw a small stamp, which was an ancient character for "Wei", and he had seen this mark on many utensils of Wei Bonian and Wei Potian. Obviously, the source of this map is not the expeditionary force, but the channel of the Wei family.
Wei Bonian patted it lightly on the map and said, "This is the real battle situation of Eternal Night at the moment, from the Imperial Military Department. Only the gate valve and the high-grade family, and this time the battle in the Eternal Night Continent can be obtained, even if the expeditionary force headquarters, only a few people have seen it. ”
Chiju walked over to the table and looked intently, and sure enough, this map had a lot more content than the one hanging on the wall. In addition to the distribution of forces on the side of the Dark Army, there are also some more data and various arrows to predict the direction of the march, and on the Imperial side, several markers have been added to the current position of the expeditionary force and the reinforcements, and it is clear that there are important people in the individual legions.
As far as the eye can see, each army of the dark race is marked with the level of a heavy army, which means that the combat power of the army is equivalent to a full heavy main army of the empire. This is extremely terrifying news, you must know that each main army of the Dao Empire usually has two heavy main army groups.
There are as many as twelve such dark race armies!
Qianye couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "How can this expeditionary force stop it?"
Wei Bonian nodded and said, "In fact, the expeditionary force has lost one-third of its military strength and more than half of its territory. However, the current situation can barely be maintained, and now the empire has two main legions to arrive in Eternal Night, and then there are several reinforcements, and the two strong Bai Zhao lords among the four lords are all out and are arriving one after another. ”
Qianye studied the map, and suddenly said: "The movement of the dark race is a little strange, why are these armies moving towards this place?"
Thousand Nights' fingers followed several predicted marching arrows, and the direction of the attack of several dark armies over there was unbelievable, deviating from the county town and rushing towards the wilderness where there was nothing. And looking at the marked time, after these armies arrived at their destination, they were stationed, waiting for the imperial army to come and start a battle.
Wei Bonian also said: "It's very strange here, and I can't figure it out." From the point of view of action, those places are the places chosen by the dark race for decisive battles, but most of them are unsafe. ”
Generally speaking, when the two sides are in a battle, if one side can choose the decisive place in advance and use various means to force the opponent to enter, it can achieve a great first-mover advantage. But usually the side that has the initiative will choose a dangerous place, those few plains with an unobstructed view, can only fight head-on, what is the benefit of the dark race?
Qianye suddenly remembered what Night Hitomi said last night, this war was not the kind of war that the Terrans thought.
Wei Bonian stretched out his hand and patted the places on the map, and said, "Now that the imperial military has reached a preliminary consensus, they will fight with the dark race in these places. As for the number of troops, only slightly superior troops will be sent to each battlefield. ”
Qianye felt even more strange: "It sounds very much like the knight duel admired by the dark race, when did those big names become so magnificent?" "For thousands of years, in the countless wars between the human race and the dark race, it has always been the tactical superiority of the human race, and the combat power of the dark race has the superiority, so if you face off so hard, it is almost certain that the battle damage on the imperial side will be higher.
Wei Bonian smiled bitterly: "You blame them for this." It's not that they don't want to use surprise soldiers to destroy one or more of the armies first. They didn't dare. ”
"Don't dare?"
"At present, the forces of the Dark Race in the Eternal Night are far superior to those of the Empire, and now that there is such an obvious battle situation, the military is worried that not following the rules they have set will make the situation immediately uncontrollable. You see, now that all the dark armies have been assembled, if a full-scale attack is launched immediately, then except for a few inland cities, the rest of the place will not be able to hold. "And it's only a matter of time before several lonely cities are destroyed.
Qianye immediately understood what Wei Bonian meant, since the empire and the dark race were preparing for a large-scale head-on battle, whether the defenders of Blackflow City would fight or not would have little impact on the overall battle situation. Holding on is not worthless, having such a stronghold behind it is like choking on the dark race, once the battle damage in front is too great, it may be cut off by the Black Stream City at any time.
"Now it's just waiting for the results of these battlefields?"
"That's right. Wei Bainian bowed his head and said: "But the city defense must not be slackened in the slightest, otherwise the dark race will definitely not mind pulling out the Black Stream City." ”
Qianye was silent for a while, pondered the words in his heart, and then said, "In that case, I want to go out of the city to find an opportunity to see if I can kill some of the black blood guys." ”
Wei Bonian took a deep look at Qianye and said, "Qianye, you are the best friend of the young master of Qiyang, so I will rely on the old man to sell the old land and say more." As a lone hunter, how can you compare with the commander of the army, you see, how many battles you have gained in the two battles of Black Mud Town alone? That is not something that can be achieved by one person. Young people need to learn patience and restraint and look at the big picture. ”
Qianye nodded and said quite sincerely, "Thank you for the general's advice." But I still need to hone my personal strength now, so I hope to be able to fight more and have more experience. ”
Wei Bonian snorted, waved his hand, and said: "Raising war with war is Zhang Boqian's kind of argument, you young people are like this! Alas, I don't want to think about how many people are as talented as Zhang Shuai. There is only one Zhang Boqian in the empire. ”
However, Wei Bonian didn't stop Qianye, only asked a few words about the defense arrangements on the side of the Dark Fire Mercenary Group, as well as Qianye's choice of contact commander during his absence, and let him go.
Back at the residence, Qianye had already packed up his equipment, stopped staying at the moment, rode the motorcycle, and went directly out of Blackflow City and stepped into the vast wilderness.
Qianye subconsciously wanted to leave this war zone as soon as possible, and the excuse he gave himself was that there should be no more war in Blackstream City in the near future, and if he wanted to fight to support the war, he had to go far to find the enemy. But deep down, perhaps he didn't realize what he was avoiding. If you meet the night pupil again, what reason is there to avoid and not fight?
The wilderness was still shrouded in the same twilight, the time for the sun to descend on the Eternal Night Continent had not yet arrived, and the weather had been cloudy lately, and it was difficult to say if it would be able to see the light of day. As far as the eye can see, the earth stretches out to the end of the horizon, and a faint mist spreads over it like a blanket.
The wind was blowing, it was slightly cold and wet, and the Eternal Night Continent was about to usher in the intersection of the dark season and the light season, so it was rare to have such a strong breath of life even in the wilderness.
Chiya lowered her body, almost crouched on the locomotive, and then pushed the power to the maximum. The locomotive engine roared like thunder, and all four thick tailpipes began to erupt into flames. The locomotive shook violently, like a wild horse, and its speed increased suddenly, and it flew away on the endless wasteland.
The oncoming wind became as sharp as a knife, and there was a stinging sensation on the face, and the surrounding scenery became a little blurred. The feeling of extreme speed made the blood in Chiya's body boil, and he began to like the stimulation.
In the vast mist, many beings were shocked by the roaring thousand nights, and their eyes fell on the shining tail fireworks.
"A little thing that doesn't know whether to live or die"
"Are you going to chase him and kill him?"
"Forget it, it's troublesome. ”
Similar whispers kept appearing, the wilderness was full of risks, and at a time when both the Terrans and the Dark Race had reduced their scattered outdoor activities, the calm desolation was an illusion.
Of course, Qianye could sense those malicious glances, and he hoped that an enemy would appear. As long as it is not a general, then the winner is still two words. At this moment, there was a fire burning in Qianye's heart, which was driven by the gale brought up at high speed to become more and more ferocious.
However, he was a little disappointed that he had traveled hundreds of kilometers all the way, but he did not see a single dark race catching up, and even the blood clan, which was known for its speed, did not appear.
In front of the mountains, Qianye found a cave, sealed the locomotive in it, camouflaged the entrance of the cave, and then ran into the mountains. His destination is the nearest battle area of the Dark Race, and with his strength, he is not able to dominate the battle, but it is still possible to take advantage of it and inflict a small loss on the Dark Army.
The journey remained remarkably peaceful, with no enemies encountered except for the occasional beast. Obviously, the side of the dark race has really entered a state of full combat readiness, and the warriors under its command are strictly restrained, which is a very rare situation for the relatively scattered dark warriors.
In the evening, a gentle valley appeared in front of Qianye's eyes. The valley is large and grows patches of glow-in-the-dark grass. This weed is common in the dark continent of eternal night, where it shires for hours during the day to absorb the sun's energy, and at night it sways in the night wind and glows faintly.
However, glow-in-the-dark grass mostly grows sporadically and rarely stretches as much as in front of you. Now all you see is a sea of fluorescent light, and when the wind blows, there will be layers of ripples. It's a rare sight, but on the Continent of Eternal Night, anomalies often mean something special, such as the possibility of various mineral deposits beneath the valley.
At this time, there are two groups of men and horses in the valley who are fighting to the death, one is the combined army of the blood clan and the spider demon, and the other side is the human warrior, who looks like the private army of the world.
Qianye did not hesitate, and immediately sneaked quietly to the battlefield. The fierce battle between the two sides was huge, and it seemed that it had been a fierce battle for a long time, and there were not too many scouts around, and he was easily approached to a distance of about 100 meters.
Chiya sets up an eagle strike, and then observes the battlefield from the scope. On the side of the dark race, there are two blood barons, while on the human side, there is only one ninth-level warrior at the highest level.
However, the overall level of this private army of the world is not inferior to that of the dark warriors, from the perspective of combat methods, it is well-trained, good at combined attacks, although it is a private army, but it is obviously familiar with regular warfare, so it gradually began to gain the upper hand.
Qianye watched it for a while, and then began to act, and the crosshair circle steadily lassoed a blood clan. That Blood Knight is the leader of the local battlefield, and with the power of Eagle Strike, it is suitable to deal with opponents of this level.
He calmly begins to recharge, and adds special abilities one after another. What Thousand Nights is pursuing is a one-hit kill.
Just as the Force bomb took shape in the magazine, a young girl's figure suddenly jumped into the camera. Her movements are a little jerky and wild, and it can be seen that she has only recently received regular combat training, so she still has a lot of habitual movements that rely on instinct to fight.
