Chapter 136 The Battle of the Sinkhole
The Dark Race didn't give the empire much time to arrange, and in less than three days, several armies drove to the Black Sun Valley, divided into joint attacks, and went straight to the sinkhole.
The sinkhole itself has a radius of tens of thousands of meters, and the surrounding black volcanic land is hundreds of miles in circumference, and the area is comparable to that of a large province of the empire.
Hundreds of thousands of troops scattered into this area are just a small splash. The imperial troops did not leave the sinkhole, but were stationed on the spot, and Song Zining made it clear that he was going to fight a decisive battle with the dark race using the sinkhole as a battlefield.
Although the black fire in the sinkhole is now raging, it is not yet time to pass, but when the black fire will be extinguished, even the supremes can't say clearly, so let the human race stay by the sinkhole for one more day, there is an extra day of risk.
This area is so vast that neither the Empire nor the Eternal Night can block each other's movements, even if there are only a few passages near the sinkhole, but there are many passages in and out of the outer edge. The black fire in the mountains is also constantly changing, and no one knows when it will erupt from the cracks in the ground, blocking the pathway, so the battlefield is greatly uncertain.
At this time, Zhao Jundu and Song Zining were standing on the top of a mountain peak, and the male black fire was burning behind them, but Zhao Jundu was surrounded by the blue and black force, and he actually used this force to release the eight directions to seal the town, so that the black fire could not get close.
Under the black fire, Zhao Jundu's Qinghei Force was consumed very slowly, and it was not a problem to support it for a day and a night.
Song Zining stood within the scope of the Bafang Town, looking much more relaxed.
He looked at Zhao Jundu and said, "Your Force is really weird, you can actually withstand the black flames." If it were me, I'm afraid it would take two or three hours at most. ”
"My Force is cultivated in the New World, so it's normal for me to be more resistant. ”
"This ...... It's a reason. ”
Song Zining looked into the distance, and just more than ten kilometers away, a group of dark race warriors were lining up and heading towards the sinkhole. The line was long, and it looked like there were at least 10,000 people. Whether it is the breath of the Force or the equipment, it shows that the elite level of this force is not below the Imperial Red Scorpion and the Winged Angel.
Although they were not far apart, Zhao Song and the others stood in front of the black fire, and they were not afraid of being exposed at all. Black fire has a strong suppression of perception, although it has no light, but it is extremely blazing, you will feel more uncomfortable at a glance than looking directly at the sun, and when perception sweeps, it will also be burned by black fire. Only by forcibly cutting it off with the Force like Zhao Jundu can he be unharmed.
Song Zining's eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously feeling that this army was not easy to deal with. Zhao Jundu suddenly said: "We have seen at least three such troops, right?"
Song Zining nodded, "This is the fourth one, if you count the ordinary troops, the dark race has already assembled...... 300,000 warriors?"
This number surprised Song Zining himself. However, he immediately stretched his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, it's all military exploits." ”
Zhao Jundu said: "Don't be too careless. Are you really sure you're going to deal with so many dark races?"
"Fight slowly, you have to wear them out. You can't even believe me, do you?"
Zhao Jundu frowned, "Give me a reason." ”
Song Zining spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, the reason is that even if I stand here, I can still use the Heavenly Machine Technique." It's just that the results are vague and costly. ”
Zhao Jundu was taken aback, thought about it, took out a handful of counting chips, and threw them to the ground.
"It turns out that you can also order the Heavenly Machine Technique......" Song Zining didn't finish his teasing, and saw that those calculations that fell to the ground suddenly burned, and they turned into ashes in a blink of an eye. Zhao Jundu snorted, his face turned pale.
Song Zining said: "Seeing that you are still so cautious, I believe that you will not go crazy for a while." ”
Zhao Jundu said: "But I think you're crazy now." ”
Song Zining sighed and said, "Is 300,000 a lot?"
"It's not a small amount to be able to get it here. Zhao Jundu's words have their own reason. Those who can fight in the Black Sun Valley are the elite of the elite, and the empire has only sent in 150,000 people so far. And reinforcements from the dark race are still coming.
"According to my estimates, there will be at least 300,000. ”
"How can there be so many?"
"Don't forget, werewolves have three more continents. ”
"Aren't werewolves being excluded from the New World?"
"That was before Hierro was killed. Hierro was lured out by me and lured the Qingyang King to kill, it is estimated that there have been disagreements within the dark race. The best solution is to force the werewolves to cede their share of the new world so that they can send in more troops. I think it won't be long before we'll see the werewolf forces show up. ”
"If I were the leader of the werewolves, I would never send elite troops over at such a time. Zhao Jundu said.
"The warriors who can enter the Black Sun Valley are not far worse. ”
Zhao Jundu nodded slowly.
"What, scared?"
Zhao Jundu said lightly: "I'm afraid that there are too many military merits, and the empire can't reward them." ”
Song Zining laughed, "Then why don't you just give your family two more provinces?"
No matter how broad-minded Zhao Jundu is, no matter how deep the city is, he can't help but change color slightly. Song Zining's proposal, to be honest, has crossed an unwritten red line in the past. In the past, no matter how prosperous the family gate valve was, the territory would not exceed five provinces. Now Zhang Valve is in full swing, and it is only four provinces, and the fourth province is still separated from the ancestral land and is being developed.
And Zhao Valve sits on Youyan, and the third province has actually been defeated, but it has not been corrected because the rebels have not been eliminated. In fact, Zhao Valve was already secretly planning the fourth province, which was originally a plan tailored for Zhao Jundu, but later the Battle of the New World broke out, and Zhao Jundu was injured again, so it was delayed.
And now, Zhao Jundu's practice of refining real gold by fire was not favored by others, but he is getting more and more beautiful, at least practicing a realm that no one has reached before. Seeing that his Force had turned to pure black, the outbreak was just around the corner, so within Zhao Valve, this plan began to be mentioned again.
Using Qianye as a bargaining chip, changing the title of the hereditary Rongguo Gong is one of the key links.
The battle of the New World has been fought until now, and Zhao Jundu and Song Zining have already accumulated countless merits, if they defeat the dark race in the battle of the Gate of the Inner World, then the merit is so great that the reward for the two provinces is less.
The empire has always rewarded military merits the most generously, and it is also the most uncompromised. This is the foundation of the founding of the Great Qin, so adding two more provinces to the Zhao valve, even if the ancestral practice is broken, must be implemented.
Zhao Jundu had never thought of this section, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but be moved. After all, he grew up in the gate valve since he was a child, and the concept of the door territory has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and no matter how desireless he is, when he hears the word territory, he will blush and be warm. Land means space for people to survive and reproduce.
Song Zining was actually the same, he looked at Zhao Jundu with some envy, and said, "It's still hello, at least there is a family foundation." No matter what I do, I can only take one province, and the rest is empty. ”
"A prince is not imaginary. ”
Song Zining hurriedly said: "Forget this." ”
"Empress Li will arrange it for you. Zhao Jundu said meaningfully.
Song Zining shuddered, "Don't!"
"You seem to be particularly afraid of her?"
"How is that possible?"
"It can't be that you have done something wrong, right?" Zhao Jundu's eyes were extremely sharp.
"It's all good for their Li family, how can they be disadvantaged. ”
"It's good for the Li family, but it's not good for other families?"
Song Zining talked about him left and right, but Zhao Jundu grasped the topic. Song Zining was helpless, and spread his hands and said, "What can you do if you don't do things for Empress Li?"
Zhao Jundu was dumbfounded. Compared with Empress Li, Zhao Valve's concubine is simply useless in terms of appearance and means, and the older generation used her temperament, and the consequences have continued to this day.
Especially when it is rumored that she provoked Lin Dazai in front of the emperor that day, and somehow swept in with King Qingyang, so now even King Qingyang has a bad face when he sees Zhao Valve's several princes, and there is no one who has the courage and ability to offend people, and this has become a reason for others to criticize Zhao Valve's big heart.
"Don't talk about this, go back and prepare for the war, I have a hunch that this battle may not be easy to fight. ”
Zhao Jundu said: "The dark race has suffered so much loss at our hands, we must think of some countermeasures. The sacrifices sent over have probably been chosen, and we will be in a dilemma whether to eat or not at that time. ”
"Definitely. ”
The two left the summit and went to join their troops in preparation for the next battle.
The decisive battle started outside the gate of the inner world, and to the surprise of the dark race, Song Zining and Zhao Jundu separated again.
The empire set up a fortress at the gate leading to the inner world, and with the help of favorable terrain, it actually wanted to fight a fortress attack and defense battle with the dark race. Song Zining, on the other hand, led the mobile troops to roam around the periphery, and their whereabouts were unknown, making the dark race always worry about their rear and supply lines.
Dividing troops is a taboo, especially if the Imperial Army is still weaker than its opponents. The commander of the dark race's front line thought that the Terrans had finally made a stupid move, and immediately attacked with his army.
However, under the Empire's rather rudimentary fortresses, the army of the Dark Race has encountered incredible and stubborn resistance. Zhao Jundu personally stood at the head of the city, fighting side by side with the imperial soldiers, and the black force was like a tornado, involving the powerhouses of the dark race one by one, and then twisted to pieces.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jundu was covered in bruises under the siege of the dark race, but this time, in the black force, the minced flesh and blood of the dark race powerhouse was actually separated from the essence and absorbed by Zhao Jundu's injuries. As a result, the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
How can such an opponent fight? The strange black force makes even the spider demon and the demon spawn feel evil. And Zhao Jundu's recovery speed at this moment was even faster than the blood clan's blood boiling speed.
In this way, the speed of casualties of the army of the dark race made the rear commander tremble. However, seeing that the imperial soldiers on the city wall were also falling in rows, the commander gritted his teeth and insisted.
Even if the casualties far exceed those of the opponent, but the military strength in his hands far exceeds that of the Terran defenders, if this is consumed, it must be the Terran that collapses first, and in the end, his losses may not be much more than that of the Terran.
At this moment, a murderous aura suddenly rose from the rear of the battle array, and Song Zining led the army to appear behind the dark race. The troops that the commander had placed on guard in the rear had been completely annihilated without even sending back a single warning message.
Under the front and rear attacks, the 100,000 army of the dark race was routed, and less than half of them fled back.
When the same battle happened again, the dark race finally found out what the problem was, how Song Zining ate tens of thousands of guards without letting a single person escape.
Before solving this problem, the dark race did not want to attack the city again, but the empire actually brought a large number of construction machinery and began to build a construction site next to the sinkhole leading to the inner world, posing as a hands-on research posture.
