At this time, Hokuriku already had the rudiments of a small town, and several small towns were scattered around the periphery. Although the town is small, it is well planned, and the workshops are either already in production or are in full swing.

Valhalla was parked outside the city, and the massive hull of the ship looked like a town in itself. Hundreds of craftsmen are busy coming in and out, cleaning breaks, replacing equipment, and removing faulty equipment for repairs.

The frigate of the Thousand Nights landed outside the city, and as soon as he stepped off the ship, his eyes were drawn to the cemetery at the foot of a small hill in the distance. In my memory, the cemetery was just a plan, still on paper, and now it has become a real thing. The most important thing, however, is that a number of tombstones have been erected.

"Go over and see. Qianye commanded, and then took off into the air and flew towards the cemetery.

The cemetery is divided into several areas, each with a different style, and even the tombstones have a strong tribal style. For example, those tombstones made of mechanical parts with guns and ammunition are the cemeteries of the Gaohu people. The square stone or wooden tombstone is the orthodox human race. There was another area, no smaller than the Terrans and the Gaohu, but there were only three tombstones in it. Each stele is made of white stone and is carved with ice crystals and thunder motifs. This is the mark of the Frost and Thunder Temple, and looking at the workmanship of the tombstone, it is obvious that it is not an ordinary person who is buried.

"What's going on?"

The attendant guarding the cemetery said: "Valhalla returned a few days ago, and many corpses were brought down from it, and they are buried here. The division of the area was determined by Lord Azuki and His Highness Carol. ”

Qianye nodded, turned her head to look at the town, and after sensing Carol's breath, she went straight to the town. After the first battle of the White City, Valhalla returned to the North Continent first, and Qianye had not yet had a good chat with Carol.

In a quiet courtyard in the middle of the city, Carol was sitting in a casual dress and reading a book. Seeing Qianye descending from the sky, she first ordered someone to prepare a new cup of tea, then waved off her entourage, looked Qianye up and down, looked at it, her eyes gradually became surprised, and said, "I can't see through you now?"

Qianye was also a little surprised, "Wouldn't it? But you ......."

Carol's aura was visibly weak, not much better than when the big battle was resting, indicating that her injuries were much worse than Qianye expected.

Carol smiled, "That old spider is really hard to deal with. If it weren't for him injuring Valhalla, and the remnants of Jiryu's will to launch a counterattack on his own, severely injuring him, you probably wouldn't have seen me by now. ”

Qianye said, "Why didn't you tell me that your people were also killed and wounded?"

"This is your war, and our pioneering war. For the sake of a survivable territory, sacrifice is necessary and worth it. So I don't think it's necessary to talk to you about it, just give them a peaceful cemetery. It's nice and I love it. ”

Qianye only sighed.

The battle at Valhalla was obviously much more fierce than everyone on the ground could have expected. He and Song Zining were careless at the beginning, thinking that having Carol and her people in charge was foolproof. Looking at it now, if it weren't for the will of the earth ryu to fight back on his own, the spider demon duke with the heart of death might really cause fundamental damage to the ryu ship, or at least paralyze the ryu ship.

Once the control engine attached to the heart of the Ryu is destroyed by the Duke of Spider, the entire Ryu is completely out of control, which is equivalent to being destroyed. And judging from the combat power of this spider demon duke, if his dying blow was not taken by Carol, it might even directly destroy the heart of the Earth Dragon. The reason why Valhalla is different from other warships is that the heart of the earth is still alive, which allows Valhalla to exert some of the spirituality and strength of the giant beast during its lifetime.

Qianye's mood was a little heavy, but Carol seemed to have completely calmed down. She tilted her head and asked with some curiosity, "Why did you suddenly come here?"

"How can things be done?" Qianye said with some self-deprecation: "I came here this time, first, to see you, and the other is to prepare to cultivate here for a while." See if there's a chance to break through. ”

"Breakthrough, are you going to attack the Divine General?" Carol looked surprised.

Qianye thought for a while and said, "It doesn't have to be a god general. I'm going to cultivate until you're healed. ”

"And then?" Carol blinked.

"Then we went back to Nanqing together, and by that time the training of the newly formed troops was complete and the equipment was almost there. Then it's time for me to fulfill my promise to you. ”

Carol's eyes lit up and she said, "Then I'll have to speed up my recovery." ”

"The best. Qianye smiled.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and a thousand nights were immersed in cultivation day and night, and I didn't know how time passed. The sky over the Hokuriku is full of wind and clouds.

On this day, the lead cloud hung unusually low, and the vortex was too large to be seen. The thunder in the center of the vortex was faint, and the purple electric fire was already as thick as a purple pool, which could drip at any time.

Just when the purple lightning thunder pool was accumulating to the limit, a flash of electric light rolled down like a waterfall and fell towards the small city on the ground!

Seeing that a disaster was about to happen, a cyan thunder dragon suddenly rose into the sky in the center of the small city, breaking through the purple thunder waterfall in one fell swoop, and a disaster was resolved. Immediately, a high-spirited and energetic breath soared upward, rushed into the thunder pool, and swam in it, and an indescribable sense of joy spread.

Qianye Xin felt something in his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes. A bolt of lightning swept through the empty ashram, and the walls and roof suddenly turned to powder.

Thousands of nights were stunned, slowly gathered the force, stood up, and looked at the center of the small city. Carol was holding a thunder whip and was stepping into the air, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Qianye.

"Are all your injuries healed?" asked Chiya.

"Yes, sooner than expected. Because I can't wait. How far are you from God?"

"It should be...... One step away. Thousand Nights let go of her breath slightly, and in Carol's perception, the nine Force vortices were all emitting extremely intense fiery light, like nine tiny suns.

The force of the dawn of a thousand nights was too intense, and with Carol's eyes, she could feel a stinging and burning heat when she looked at it, and she couldn't see what was behind that blazing light.

After letting go of his breath a little, Qianye closed the situation in his body.

"Why don't you try a breakthrough?"

Carol was a little weird. With the high level of the Force of Thousand Nights Dawn, it is not too difficult to break through the Divine General Heavenly Pass. At this moment, the nine Force Vortex of Thousand Nights had all been cultivated to the point of near-consummation, at least with her eyesight, she couldn't see any of the Force Vortexes that were obviously deficient.

As a person who has come over, in her experience, this state is a sign of cultivation to the extreme, and it is also the starting point of the impact on the Divine Commander Heavenly Pass.

Looking at the nine sun-like vortex of the Force, she was even a little jealous. If this is compared to the foundation, then Carol is already higher than most of the so-called geniuses in the world, and she leaps hard, and she crosses the threshold of the gods. But Qianye's starting point at this moment is even higher than hers, maybe just a light jump, she can reach the realm that countless powerhouses dream of.

Chiya thought about this question and said, "It's been too long to come out this time, it's time to go back." As for the breakthrough, there is no rush anyway. ”

"Anyway, it's not in a hurry?" Carol suddenly felt the urge to strangle Thousand Nights.

A moment later, the two of them boarded Valhalla, and the huge Ryu ship slowly rose into the air and sailed from outer space to Nanqing City. In the next period of time, Qianye will let Valhalla stop in the outer space and standby, and when you need to cultivate, you will go to Valhalla.

The take-off and landing ground of the floating ship dedicated to Darkfire was full of transport ships, and groups of mercenaries, under the command of the officers, carried heavy boxes off the transport ships one by one and sent them to the warehouse.

The boxes were all freshly painted, apparently repainted, and there were no markings visible on them. It's just that those who know it can tell at a glance that these crates are the standard style of the Imperial army's ammunition equipment.

More than a dozen transport ships have been parked at the take-off and landing field, and the cargo holds next to the take-off and landing field are already full, and more containers can only be transported by heavy-duty trucks to warehouses farther away.

A thousand nights came into the air and landed directly on the take-off and landing field. A mercenary general was explaining something to a group of officers, and when he saw Qianye appear, he hurriedly rushed over and said, "My lord, you can come back!"

"What's going on with these goods?"

The mercenary general said: "It's all the armaments sent by Lord Zining from the empire, and they just arrived in the morning." Here's the list, so please take a look at it. ”

Qianye took the manifest and looked at it roughly, and when he saw that the number was the same as the agreement, he nodded. Naturally, the inspection and inspection will be carried out by a special person, and he does not have to worry about it.

At this time, another mercenary general walked quickly, handed over a document, and said, "My lord, this is the information we just received, you may be interested. ”

Qianye took the document, tore open the seal, opened it and glanced at it quickly, but he was stunned and said, "Zheng is in turmoil?"

"Zheng Guo?" Carol seemed to have heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

The mercenary general who sent the information immediately explained.

Zheng is a small country, located in the land of Yong, where the human race is the main body, and there are also many dark races living in the country. The lord of Zheng called himself King Zheng and did not claim the title of emperor, but expressed his submission to the empire, and was one of the nominal vassal states of the empire.

The situation in Yonglu is complicated, there are many small countries, among which there are human races, there are also dark races, and Eternal Night and the Empire have supported many agents in it, and Zheng Guo is just one of them. Both the Eternal Night Council and the Empire are a little disdainful of Yonglu, but they are unwilling to give up their interests here and let the other party become dominant, so it has become a common choice to support the local puppet regime to fight on their behalf.

The situation is chaotic in Yiyonglu, which is worse than in a neutral place, and you fight me and I fight you between cities of various countries and cities, which is very lively. Many of these small forces, claiming to be a country, are actually only two or three cities, and they are not very large.

The cause of Zheng Guo's civil strife this time was because King Zheng suddenly fell ill and seemed to be dying soon. In order to compete for the throne, several princes each won over the ministers of the army, and the situation has reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out. And Zheng Guo lost the only god general, King Zheng, and the forces of the surrounding dark races were also looking at each other, and for a while, it could be described as stormy.

Qianye is familiar with Zheng Guo, mainly because of Nanhua.

And Carol heard that Zheng Guo was located in Yonglu, so she understood a little, and looked up at Qianye. Qianye made a decision in the blink of an eye, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Guo can't fall into the hands of the dark race!
