In the eyes of Qianye, Liaocheng is neither good nor bad. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Who does Liaocheng belong to now?"

Nan Ruohuai replied respectfully, "The city lord of Liaocheng is the grandfather of the second brother, and he is also the biggest help of the second brother. ”

His words seemed to be plain, but Qianye seemed to hear something, and turned his head and asked, "You have a grudge against your second brother?"

"Brother, it's not as deep as the sea. Nan Ruohuai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "My favorite person is to die in the second brother's mansion!"

Qianye nodded and said, "Then what do you need me to do?"

Nan Ruohuai knelt down with a thud and said in a deep voice: "You only need to hand him over to me in the future, and my life will always be yours." ”

Qianye said lightly: "Isn't it mine now?"

Nan Ruohuai bowed his head and said: "I think I still have some small talents, and I have not wasted them in the past twenty years. I know what you mean by helping me. But if I return to my heart, I will make Zheng Guo more and more prosperous, so that you don't have to worry about this small place anymore. This is still different from putting a puppet on the throne. ”

Qianye stared at Nan Ruohuai's gray hair and the back of her neck, and didn't speak for a while. There was no fluctuation in his heart at the moment, but there was a little emotion.

Nan Ruohuai didn't look up, but his posture was calmer and calmer than his previous response in front of Qianye. After a while, I only heard Qianye smile, "Zheng Guo is still young?"

Nan Ruohuai mentioned the breath at this time in his heart, and only then did he soothe himself, "For me, heaven and earth, in your eyes, it is just a corner." With a character like you, don't talk about Zheng Guo, even Yong Lu, it's just a big springboard. ”

Qianye smiled, "You have faith in me. ”

"I've never seen a character like you, and I've never even heard of it. ”

Qianye got up, walked to the window, looked at the void at the end of the distance, and said, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

Nan Ruohuai wanted to speak and stopped, and then said honestly: "To be honest, I don't know." ”

Qianye sighed and said, "I don't actually have any big goals, let's take one step at a time." ”

Nan Ruohuai was stunned, he really didn't believe it, he just said that he was not enough for Qianye to confide in the secret, so he didn't ask more.

He didn't know that Qianye really didn't have any ambitions, and what he wanted to do was nothing more than take care of his brother, that is, to send someone to the Holy Mountain.

Now that the entire territory of Xudong Floating Island has been pacified, the next step is to occupy and prepare for war. Qianye blocked the entire outer space of the floating island, and all floating boats were only allowed to enter but not leave. In one day, the 10,000 troops of the follow-up of the dark fire all arrived, replacing the elite troops from all over the country. At the same time, Far Frontier began to build fortifications on a large scale and strengthen its turrets.

This floating island is regarded as the first springboard and advance base for Chiya's march into the Yonglu land, so it is highly valued. After the arrival of the first batch of troops, Qianye ordered someone to send a message back, and ordered Dark Fire to immediately prepare several engineering floats, and recruit craftsmen to come to Xudong.

A few days later, when the garrison troops on the floating island had been in place, Qianye led the legion to set off and flew to Liaocheng.

An army of 10,000 arrived on the floating island, and only 4,000 left with Qianye. The area of the floating island is not small, and the most basic garrison needs have exceeded 10,000 soldiers, and 6,000 people are really no less. If it is reduced any more, even the mercenary generals will not do it.

Liaocheng has about 150,000 people, which is also a big city. Built along the river, it is easily accessible and has a blackstone mine just outside the city, which provides an endless supply of energy for the workshops throughout the city. When Qianye arrived, the first thing she saw from afar was not the city, but the gray-black pillars of smoke above the city.

Behind the billowing smoke are flowing gold coins. There are ready-made workshops in Liaocheng, and more importantly, there are a large number of skilled craftsmen, which can be used in the empire's workshop system with a little training. Originally, Zheng Guo was learning from Great Qin everywhere, and the workshop system was similar, but it was equivalent to the level of the empire fifty years ago.

When the fleet approached the sky over Liaocheng, the entire city sounded a piercing siren, and even Qianye, who was on a battle patrol, could hear it clearly. He stepped onto the deck and looked down, only to see several valves open on a steel tower in the center of the city, and steam spewed out with a piercing scream.

Power towers and steam sirens?

Qianye was a little surprised, and the city's preparation was exceptionally high. Although the power tower is an old model, it is still a power tower no matter how old it is, and many cities in the neutral place do not even have one. Moreover, this power tower is a little old, but the specifications are big enough and high enough, and the power output must be surging.

In other words, there may be a high-powered turret in the city?

Qianye's eyes stared, and a strange sharp whistling sound had been caught in his ears. In the distance, the top of a dark tower opened, and a thick crossbow bolt erupted, arcing through the air and shooting towards the battle patrol.

If it weren't for the fact that this was an attack from the enemy, Thousand Nights would have praised the timing of this arrow's launch. At this moment, the speed of the battle patrol has slowed down, and it is too late to speed up instantly, and no matter how large the battle patrol is, it can't outrun the tracking ballista within the range.

With a roar, the entire battle patrol trembled, and the magnitude was so large that Qianye was a little surprised. The power of the ballista was even greater than he had expected.

Qianye's figure flashed and appeared on the bow of the battle cruiser. I saw that the crossbow arrow was nailed to the shell of the battle patrol, and it was not half entered.

After all, the captain is a veteran of long-term battles, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he had no time to intercept it with firepower and no time to withdraw from the range, so he immediately fine-tuned the hull. This part of the battle patrol is the thickest part of the armor, and the ballista does not penetrate the outer armor.

Qianye stepped forward with Dongyue and cut off the exposed part of the crossbow arrow with a sword, and saw that it was solid inside. If this is a tracking burst crossbow configured by the Empire's new warship, then it is entirely possible to blow off the armor of the battlecruiser's bow when it explodes.

However, the battle patrol can stop it, but the other warships can't!

Qianye's gaze froze, and at that moment, three more turrets rose, the tops opened, and each shot a tracking giant crossbow!

One of the three crossbows was fired at the frigate, one at the battle cruiser, and the other at the rear.

Qianye didn't have time to think about it, the figure flickered, and it had appeared next to the frigate, Dongyue was like lightning, slashing six swords in a row, one hit in eight directions, and slashing the giant crossbow into several sections. The battle patrol was hit by a giant crossbow again. Fortunately, this shot was also nailed to the thick part of the armor, and still did not penetrate the armor.

As soon as Qianye turned around, his expression changed slightly, and the target of the last giant crossbow was the troop carrier in the rear of the fleet! Of course, the transport ship could not escape the range, and the giant crossbow stopped and struck in, and then pierced through the top of the ship, flying up to a height of thousands of meters, and then it was exhausted, and it turned around and fell.

A large gap appeared in the center of the transport's hull, from which flames erupted, and several figures fell. The transport ship was alarmed and then rushed to the ground.

Seeing that the ship was about to be destroyed, the hatch on one side of the transport ship suddenly collapsed, apparently forcibly opened from the inside, and a large amount of steam spewed out. The hull of the ship then began to spin, and with the power of the whirlwind, mercenaries were constantly thrown out of it.

Qianye breathed a sigh of relief.

This response of the transport ship is the best choice at this moment, and it is loaded with elite mercenaries, and there are many officers whose Force cultivation is level five or six or even higher. They fell from a height of several hundred meters, not because they were unlucky, and most of them could only be injured and not die. On the contrary, the burning transport ship is a large coffin of flaming steel, and there is only one way to die if left inside.

Throwing the crew and mercenaries out, and avoiding the explosion range of the ship after it landed, the captain's haste is really good. The only downside is that some of the mercenaries may be thrown into the center of the city, which is full of enemies.

But as long as the mercenaries are set foot on the ground, Senya doesn't have to worry about their combat effectiveness. It's hard to find a class better suited to urban street fighting than a mercenary.

Then came the time for the Darkfire to fight back.

Even the high-power turrets in the main city of Great Qin could not have a very fast rate of fire, and the reloading rate of the four power turrets in Liaocheng was even slower. The commander of the battle cruiser had already synchronized the attack position when he was fine-tuning the defense, and he was already in place at this moment, and with the roar of the main gun, half of the main gun turret in Liaocheng was suddenly collapsed.

The Battlecruiser didn't care about the results of the battle, continued to turn, and aimed at the other main turret. At this time, the three frigates in the air had also adjusted their attack postures, diving from a high altitude, and the rapid-fire main guns roared continuously, drowning the third turret in a sea of fire.

Only the last turret remained, and it raised another bolt from within, a cloud of steam nearly flooding the turret, and the spinner gears were constantly accumulating power. This time it was no longer aiming at an immobile battle cruiser, but at a frigate.

In the blink of an eye, the turret had completed the accumulation of power, and the giant crossbow trembled, just about to shoot out, when suddenly the surrounding scenery was distorted, and Qianye appeared above the ballista, holding a steel beam in his hand, and inserted it with force, instantly stucking the ballista in the groove.

The accident happened suddenly, and the officers and men who operated the ballista could not react, and they had already instinctively stepped on the firing pedal after a series of operations. However, the giant crossbow was stuck and could not move, and the inflated power steam had nowhere to vent, and in the blink of an eye, the accumulated power reached an extremely terrifying level, and the cast steel shell of the turret began to expand rapidly to a degree that was visible to the naked eye!

Amid the desperate exclamations of the officers and men, the turret suddenly exploded, and the tremendous force even threw several tons of components into the air several hundred meters in the air! How can a person afford such a force? None of the fighters in the turret had time to escape, and there were no corpses left.

The figure of Thousand Nights has returned to the battle patrol and appeared on the bridge. The captain was nervously commanding, and Qianye raised his hand to him to continue, and there was no need to come over to ask for instructions.

The captain constantly issued orders, commanding the huge battleship to tilt the hull and fly around Liaocheng in a graceful posture. In this way, the fire of its rapid-fire guns on the side of the city can be fully utilized, sweeping the small turrets and defenses in the city piece by piece.

The four main turrets were killed, and the entire Liaocheng had no means to threaten the battle patrol.

Due to the unexpectedly strong defense force in the city, Qianye simply mustered up patience and watched the battle patrol fly around the city in circles, clearing the fortifications block by block.

A whole hour passed, until there was no decent cannon sound in the entire Liaocheng, and no ballistas were fired, and Qianye ordered the mercenaries to land and enter the city to fight.

And Qianye himself went straight to the City Lord's Mansion, facing the swarming guards, a life plunder made the surroundings silent. When he walked into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a mighty old man with gray hair on the throne slowly got up and lifted a huge battle axe in his hand, as if he was waiting.

Qianye didn't do it immediately, but said: "Nan Ruohuai will be a good King Zheng, why are you obsessed? You should know that in front of me, you don't have the slightest chance." ”

The old man snorted and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Guo is the country of Zheng people. Who are you?"

Qianye didn't answer and asked: "Isn't Ruohuai a Zheng person?"
