Chapter 73 The first step of the journey
From the style of the document seal, it can be seen at a glance that it comes from the legion led by Zhao Jundu. Qianye opened the box, took out the documents inside, and read them carefully.
The first half is a report on the battle of Qin Lu and the 'gate' areas of each continental block, although there is not much ink, but between the lines you can see the fierceness of the war in Qin and Lu. Zhao Jundu held two reorganized regiments, fortresses and defensive bases built in advance, and the number of casualties in the two wars still exceeded 30,000.
With more than 100,000 troops, 300,000 foreign beasts were annihilated twice, and only 30,000 were lost, which can already be said to be a big victory. But thinking about the fact that Zhao Jundu and Song Zining pressed the formation, and prepared for several months in advance, it can be regarded as being prepared, and they are all fighting like this, wouldn't it be even worse in other regions?
Turning to the latter part, there are briefings on the war in the Western Continent and the Vietnam Continent. The Western Continent was still good, with the two major legions of Wolf Smoke and Beifu resisting to the death, and the Eternal Night camp on the opposite side shared more than half of the pressure, and finally annihilated the Alien Beast Legion, with a loss of less than 50,000. However, the crossing of the land was a complete disaster, and the Alien Beast Legion firmly suppressed the combined private army of several families in the core area, and at the same time divided dozens of small forces to sweep away the guards in various places.
Now that the situation in the land has completely collapsed, several major families, including the Nangong family, can only barely protect themselves, and the traditional core territory of the Nangong family has almost all been lost, and now no one knows what it looks like in the area where the alien beast has fallen, and whether there is any life.
On the one hand, the families contracted their defenses, and on the other hand, they stepped up the transfer of private armies outside. And the empire can't sit back and watch the complete fall of Yuelu, and has mobilized two integrated legions to support, judging from the intensity of the war between Qin Lu and Xilu, the two legions, plus the family's own private army, should be enough to annihilate the alien beast legion, and now it can only hope that it is not too late.
There are also doors on the floating land, but the number of alien beast legions there is far less than that of other continents, and the war on the floating land has just ended, most of the military facilities are in operation, and heavy troops are stationed, and the alien beast legions are quickly swept away.
The final analysis of the battle report shows that in the early days of the appearance of the "Gate", there were a few days when the communication between the continents of the empire was cut off, and the loss of information was far beyond the normal state, but the response within the empire was very slow, and now it seems that it should be the hands of the dark race.
In just a few days, the key information of Qin Lu's sniper alien beast legion could not be delivered to Xilu and Yuelu, and the document of Qianye's warning disappeared halfway. If this leads to insufficient preparation for crossing the land, in the early stage, it is not able to concentrate troops to respond quickly, and in the later stage, it is to give up part of the heavy land too quickly, so that it is defeated by the alien beast army.
Seeing this, Qianye paused and contemplated secretly.
From the perspective of timing, the blow of the dark race is extremely ingenious, and it is extremely deadly, it can be said that Yue Lu, one of the hinterlands of the empire, suffered this blow, the situation collapsed, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover for decades.
Being able to plot such a conspiracy shows that the dark race knows far more about the 'Gate' and the new world behind than the human race, so they can use the alien beast army to give the empire a blow.
In Yonglu, Qianye accidentally subdued the werewolves, and there were hundreds of thousands of more troops in Pingkong. To deal with the Alien Beast Legion, it happened to require enough numerical superiority, so Qianye only annihilated the two Alien Beast Legions at the cost of minor casualties.
The dark race can't think of this, the empire can't think of it, and even Qianye himself can only feel lucky. If it weren't for the 'Gate' appearing in the heaven-sent land, which was closely related to the werewolf's winter rations, Thousand Nights might not have been able to get the news so quickly and explore deeply. If the "door" is opened in some deserted corner, it may not be until the Alien Beast Legion is pressed to find that danger is coming.
After the battle report, it is the result of the Empire's latest analysis of the 'Gate'. The analysis was carried out in Qin Lu, and the Imperial Research Institute almost moved all the belongings to Zhao Jundu's fortress, and there was still a battle in front, so they began to analyze the body structure and white mist composition of the alien beast in the back. When Zhao Jundu and Song Zining annihilated all the strange beasts, the old men of the research institute rushed into the white mist and analyzed the composition of the 'gate' regardless of life and death.
Many of the old guys in the Imperial Academy are masters in various fields, and many of them themselves are also extremely high in cultivation, and with the help of the whole team, they can gain something within a few days.
The final conclusion is that the structure of the 'gate' is becoming stable, and if it is not a permanent passage to the new world, it is unlikely to be closed anytime soon. Warriors who take the blood glands of alien beasts, as well as some other hematopoietic organs, can gain a short-term adaptation to the new world, and their strength will not be reduced too much. And as an emergency measure, you can also drink more blood of alien beasts to achieve similar effects.
The Imperial Research Institute is further analyzing the blood composition of the alien beast in an attempt to figure out how to use it in the New World/Realm.
Zhao Jundu has already selected a group of warriors, taken the blood glands of alien beasts, and is ready to enter the new world to explore. At the end, he specifically mentioned that it was Song Zining who led the team.
Qianye closed the documents, put them away, arranged the handover of weapons and equipment, boarded the floating ship, and rushed back to the front line of the Heaven-Sent Land.
Sitting on the float boat, watching the scenery flying by outside the porthole, Qianye continued to meditate.
Based on the existing situation and the information sent by Zhao Jundu, Qianye decided to speed up the pace of exploring the new world. The 'door' on Yonglu's side is also gradually becoming stable, and the original barrier behind the door has completely disappeared. On the second exploration, Chiya can feel that the environment of the new world is no longer so difficult to adapt. It seems that after the two worlds are connected, there is a tendency to assimilate.
It is likely that the New World and the Eternal Night World will have dozens of connection points, if not more. The doors of the New World were opened by the Council of the Eternal Night, and the Dark Race was clearly prepared for what might happen. Judging from the battle reports of the Western Continent, the dark race on the other side of the 'gate' has gathered a large number of troops, almost double the number of them on a regular basis, and it is obviously impossible to be a temporary measure.
In retrospect, when rumors of the New World appeared, the dark race mobilized a large number of troops within the Dark Race, not to change defenses or strengthen traditional territories, but to deal with the alien beast legions behind the door.
After the destruction of the Alien Beast Legion, the army of the Dark Race has most likely entered the New World and begun to explore, conquer, and occupy. In this link, the empire is one step behind.
After the victory in the Battle of the Floating Land, the army was in dire need of recuperation, and the Empire not only rotated a large number of troops at a normal pace, but also allowed many of its veterans and wounded officers to retire. Now that the veterans have returned to their hometowns, it will not only cost a lot of money to recruit them, but more importantly, it will take time.
With the addition of floating land, the defense area of the empire has increased on a large scale, but judging from the adjustment of the marshal's garrison not long ago, there has been no large-scale expansion of the army, that is to say, the total number of troops has not increased, and it is conceivable that there is a serious shortage of mobile forces.
Moreover, even if new recruits can be recruited in a short period of time, it will take months or even half a year to train, and it will be too late. At present, the only way to quickly build up effective combat power seems to be to recruit the private armies of various families. However, the cost of using a private army is also extremely high, and it requires sufficient military merit, similar to mercenaries.
It is an iron law set by the family gate lord and Taizu when they founded the country, in order to prevent the imperial family from infringing on the interests of the family gate lord and to ensure that the Great Qin family system is not destroyed.
At present, the situation in the land of Vietnam is a mess again, and nearly half of the main forces of each family have not been able to shrink, and they have been broken by the alien beast legions. Fortunately, the top-grade Nangong family reacted in time, gave up the territory as soon as possible, withdrew the clansmen and private troops to the central area, and merged with other families, so that a considerable part of the living force could be retained.
In this way, the empire has very few mobile forces capable of exploring the new world. Even Zhao Weihuang of the Western Continent couldn't move. Although he has two major legions in his hands, the strength of the dark race on the opposite side has also increased correspondingly, and he is at a disadvantage in comparison. It is impossible for Zhao Weihuang to explore the new world under the nose of the Eternal Night Camp, otherwise, as long as the dark race blocks the door, Zhao Weihuang inside will never think of it again.
The situation is similar on floating land. That position is in the middle of the upper continent and the middle layer, it is not only the ladder to the sky, but also the first line facing the traditional core territory of the four major races of the eternal night. If the garrison is empty because of the division of troops to explore the new world, and it is occupied by the dark race, it will be more than worth the loss.
After all, the one who can explore the new world for the first time is Zhao Jundu's legion and the thousand nights of Yonglu.
Dozens of doors are dozens of connection points to the new world. From the current point of view, the position where each door appears in the new world is different, but it is not known how far away from each other is. But even from the point of view of probability, after entering through the entrances of Qin Lu and Yong Lu, the most likely thing to encounter is the army of the dark race.
Perhaps the good news is that the alien Force in the New World has a great influence on the Force of the strong themselves. The more refined, or the stronger the bloodline, the less affected it will be. And after the baptism of the werewolf ceremony, the level of blood and qi has been improved, and at this moment, even if you look at all the blood clans in the eternal night, there are very few blood and qi purer than him. That is to say, in the new world, the Thousand Nights' combat power is not greatly affected, but other powerhouses do not have such good luck.
While thinking about it, the floating ship shook slightly and began to descend. From the portholes, you can already see the fog zone in the distance. It turned out that before I knew it, I had arrived at my destination.
The floating ship came to a halt at the take-off and landing field, and when Qianye walked out, a huge shadow happened to pass overhead. When he looked up, he saw that the huge hull of the Ryuship was slowly floating in the air. Ryu glides through the air in a languid manner, only occasionally wiggling its tail to propel its massive body forward in a circle over the defensive line.
Qianye didn't come up to pick him up from the land car, and after a few words of command to the adjutant, he took off into the air and went up to Valhalla.
Carol was already waiting for him inside the ship, and when she met her, she said, "You're here, see how the transformation goes!"
In fact, Qianye already had some understanding of the transformation inside and outside the ship's body through the will of the earth, but when he saw it with his own eyes, the shock did not decrease at all. At this moment, Valhalla's hall is as huge as a small city, and hundreds of soldiers, craftsmen, and warriors are scattered in it, and it is almost impossible to find it.
The two god generals also spent a lot of time just going around the ship.
Qianye is naturally very satisfied with the modification of Valhalla, and the current Valhalla is completely worthy of a full fleet. With this killer weapon in hand, at least you don't have to be afraid of anyone on the land.
After seeing the battleship, Chiya and Carol went to the headquarters on the ground, gathered all the generals, and began to arrange the march into the new world.
At the end of the meeting, it was a whole night of busyness, mobilization and reorganization. Of course, taking the blood glands of alien beasts is also an indispensable part. In the early morning of the second day, more than 30,000 mixed troops lined up neatly and stepped into the white fog, embarking on the first step of the journey of the new world.
