A moment later, Thousand Nights stood on the terrace, overlooking the blue wave city and the endless emerald sea, silent for a long time.

Wei Potian stood behind him, his left sleeve fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, Wei Potian didn't say anything more, all the things that should be said, including the past battles and the current situation, had already been told to Qianye. The only thing he could do now was to wait for Qianya's decision.

To be honest, Wei Potian asked himself if he was to get along with Qianye, and he didn't know how to decide.

I don't know how long it took, Qianye Fang sighed lightly: "Father-in-law, if you see today's situation, will you still be so decisive?"

Wei Potian suddenly felt a sourness rush into his eyes, he naturally would not have the same deep feelings for Lin Xitang as Qianye, the relationship between the Wei family and Beifu was closer, or before and after the whirlpool. However, it was enough for him to get to know the Imperial Marshal up close. At this time, I don't know why, Wei Potian suddenly felt the pain and regret buried under the calm words of Qianye.

After being silent for a while, Qianye turned his head slightly and said, "Empire...... Are there any more soldiers?"

"Of course there are soldiers, but there are soldiers but no generals. ”

Qianye finally turned around and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the empire with you!"

At this time, Wei Potian was not happy at all, and sighed: "Qianye, you know, I really have no choice, so I came to see you with a cheeky face." Actually, she, alas, can't be blamed entirely on her, at least my arm is self-inflicted. But if you don't show up, the empire is really empty! Well, we can't give up the new world to others, alas!"

"What's in the New World?"

"I don't know, but I vaguely heard Zi Ning say it before, saying that there may be a shocking secret hidden there, and no matter what, the dark race can't get it, or take a step back, you must not let them swallow it alone. Otherwise, the Terrans will never recover. ”

"What are the kings doing?"

"What else can they do? It's already very difficult to defend the four realms now. "Wei Potian is not a person who doesn't know soldiers at the moment, he doesn't need to know too much to guess the general truth.

Qianye also nodded.

In the current situation, the dark races are rarely united in their quest for a new world. Although the Maharaja cannot enter the New World, they can also exert their power in other places. In other words, Qianye himself will not sit idly by, and will inevitably attack everywhere, making the opponent tired.

This is what the dark race has done, and Eternal Night has an absolute advantage in the number of kings, but once it is united at this moment, it can form a two-on-one trend in many regions. The Heavenly Kings of the Empire are already very difficult just to defend their homeland.

The Eternal Night War was unfavorable, and the New World was devastated, and the Empire had never been in such a predicament in recent years.

Wei Potian came in a hurry, and he didn't need to prepare any luggage, he could set off at any time. Since Qianye had made up his mind, he did not delay, and directly transferred a high-speed frigate and sailed towards the empire.

The first stop is the Imperial Military Department.

The Imperial Army Headquarters is located on the western outskirts of the imperial capital, covering an extremely large area, like a city within a city.

It is a war facility that governs the four continents of the empire, the bottom of the eternal night and a floating land, governs all the outer space fleets except the Praetorian Fleet, and is responsible for the dispatch and command of more than ten regular legions and several twelve-line legions, as well as all elite legions.

At the time of the war, the military department also had many powers to dispatch and command the family's private army.

Such an important position is naturally well defended. In addition to the Imperial Palace, the second tallest building in the imperial capital is in the military headquarters. The military headquarters has an independent defense system, and dozens of rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns are hidden in the dense building complex, as well as countless short-range dense anti-ground guns.

The numerous turrets are powered by seven power towers, which are tightly guarded and buried deep underground. On the surface, the military headquarters is an old city full of retro atmosphere, and it is impossible to see the hidden mysteries here with just the eyes.

The frigate, led by the Imperial Guidance Ship, landed at a special float boat take-off and landing ground outside the military headquarters.

When Qianye walked down the gangway, there were already dozens of people waiting outside, although the number of people was not much, but all of them were generals and above, which can be described as extremely grand.

Qianye looked at it at a glance and saw that the person in charge was Zhao Xuanji, and he was taken aback at the moment, so he took a few steps forward and bowed. In public and private, Qianye has great respect for Zhao Xuanji. Youguo Gong is the pillar of Zhao Valve, and has supported Zhao Valve's prestige for many years.

Cheng Engong rose later, and most of his fame came from his three children and Princess Gaoyi, but no one cared about his own strength, although he was also brilliant in the Western Continent, but he was often despised by others.

Therefore, inside and outside, Zhao Xuanji is recognized as the first person of Zhao Valve, and he has always acted fairly, and he has also given a lot of help to Qianye in the bright and dark places.

In front of this real elder, Qianye can't stand up to it anyway.

Zhao Xuanji stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at Qianye, and sighed: "In the blink of an eye, you are also so old." Those of us are indeed old. ”

"When the country is in its prime, where can it be said that it is an old word. ”

Zhao Xuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "If I wasn't old, how could I be detained here by His Majesty, and I wouldn't be allowed to step into the Black Sun Valley?"

An old general with gray hair next to him said: "The empire is full of talents, if you really need to go into battle in person, then the country is in danger." Now that Senya-sama has returned, there is no need to worry about the follow-up war. ”

Zhao Xuanji said: "Your Majesty is good at everything, but sometimes your heart is too soft. Qianye, you come with me, there are some handovers to explain to you. ”

Qianye followed Zhao Xuanji to the military headquarters. This road is really not close, but fortunately, the generals are all extraordinary, walking like flying, seemingly leisurely walking, but in fact it is much faster than off-road vehicles. It's just that many generals are striding forward, which is really a bit weird.

An old general said: "Back then, Wuzu made a rule that except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one was allowed to ride or fly in the military headquarters, only on foot. Since this rule was set by Wu Zu, it has been used until now. ”

A perimeter wall on the periphery of the military headquarters, which is more decorative than defensive. The gate facing the take-off and landing field is dozens of meters high, and it is magnificent and solemn. At this moment, the door was half opened, and the greeting ceremony for Qianye was extremely grand.

In the important land of the empire, the main gate is usually not opened, and often only during the ceremony, Emperor Hao personally arrives, and the middle gate will be opened. In normal times, even if Emperor Hao visits occasionally, he only walks through the side door.

Now the main entrance of the military headquarters is half open for Qianye, which is really an honor.

Qianye didn't feel much about this, just stopped at the gate for a moment, looked up at the gate to the highest military institution of the empire, and took a step and gently stepped into the imperial military headquarters.

Inside and outside the gate, it's like two worlds.

As soon as he entered the gate, Qianye suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and felt that countless sharp breaths that seemed to be there and nothing broke through the air and fell on him. It was the breath of a truly strong man, some of which was so powerful that he felt dangerous now. Among them, there is an exceptionally old, deep and decaying aura, like a rotten sea.

This aura is so powerful that it can only look up at it for a thousand nights. It is like a void beast that has come to the end of its life, although it is full of the breath of death, but with a movement, it can still bulldoze the mountain love.

Qianye immediately stopped, his eyes were vigilant, and said, "Immortal King?!"

Qianye already knew what the Immortal King had done, and he knew that he was the culprit who caused Lin Xitang's fall. If there was no Emperor's Blood Rebellion, no floating land trap, and no such a king-level political enemy, Lin Xitang would not need to kill himself to break the situation.

The news of the death of the Immortal King had already been reported, how could there be his breath here?

Qianye's gaze turned cold, if the Immortal King was not dead, as the oldest Heavenly King of the human race, even at the end of his life, the Immortal King would have the ability to kill Qianye. Could it be that this is a trap?

At this time, Zhao Xuanji also stopped, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said: "The old prince has already gone, this is only a part of the strength he left, it belongs to the defense system of the military department, don't care." ”

Qianye's face turned slightly pale, nodded, and continued to walk inward with Zhao Xuanji.

In the center of the military headquarters, there is a huge building consisting of the main building and four satellite buildings, the four auxiliary buildings are square, thin and high, and the center is a round building.

An exceptionally young general said: "This is the main building of the military headquarters, the four auxiliary buildings represent the four divine beasts, and the middle building represents the central thick earth. ”

"Quartet Divine Beast?"

The general said, "Yes, the four divine beasts, it is recorded in the data. ”

It was the first time that Qianye had heard the words of the Quartet Divine Beast, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked a few more questions.

The young general said: "Actually, the so-called Quartet Divine Beast only exists in the data. That information, how to put it, is more like a ...... Legend. One of the four divine beasts resembles the Imperial Totem Snake, the other is a burning bird, and there are also tigers and giant tortoises. Actually, we don't know where they come from, maybe it's some Void Behemoth that lives in the depths of the Void. ”

Qianye followed everyone into the main building of the military headquarters, all the way up, and soon came to a small hall.

The auditorium is small, but it is ancient and solemn. As soon as he entered the auditorium, Qianye felt countless faint but strong breaths, each different, such as the Thousand Peaks Show. Among them, there are some breaths that he is very familiar with, such as...... Lin Xitang.

Qianye immediately turned her head and looked for the place where the breath came from, it was the side of the auditorium, and the wall was embedded with a whole surface of black jade. The black jade is divided into left and right, each engraved with countless dense names, and Lin Xitang's name is impressively listed, and the position is very low.

Before him, most of the names Qianye didn't know, and the first few on the list were thunderous. That is with the founding of Taizu several fathers, all of them have outstanding achievements, life deeds, everyone is familiar with it.

On the other black jade wall, the list on it is much shorter, and Zhang Boqian, the king of Qingyang, is listed at the end.

Zhao Xuanji said: "These two sides are the imperial merit list, and the records are those who have made great contributions to the empire throughout the ages. I'm old, and if I'm lucky enough to be on the list, I'll die without regrets. ”

There was a general next to him and said: "Youguo Gong is far-sighted in the battle of floating land, and the empire can have a great victory later, which is really the situation you have laid." And on this right wall there will be your name. ”

Another name on the wall caught Chiya's attention, and he asked, "This is the Immortal King?"

The generals didn't dare to answer, but Zhao Xuanji had no scruples, nodded and said, "It is indeed the Immortal King." ”

After a pause, Zhao Xuanji said: "Although he made a big mistake in his later years, the Immortal King has also made many contributions to my human race in his life, and compared with the two, he still has more credit." This wall records the merits of history, and as long as there is merit, it will be recorded on it, and cannot be erased at will. ”

Qianye was silent, and nodded slightly for a while.

Zhao Xuanji said: "This palace of heavenly honors is suitable for awarding medals. Qianye, are you willing to take on this important task?"
