Chapter 23 The Voice of Fate
A few days later, Zhang Boqian returned from a serious injury, and the troops he brought with him were completely wiped out. Zhang Boqian didn't say a word about the specific results, but when he came back, he was in high spirits and showed no signs of being in a bad mood.
Zhang Boqian has never disdained to disguise himself, and since he is in a good mood, he naturally has a major gain. But this result did not reveal any rumors, and everyone could only rely on clues to figure out one or two. Soon there was news from the dark camp, and those small clans didn't talk about it, two of the thirteen clans that claimed to be the original blood clan urgently recalled all the high-ranking nobles who participated in the war in the Eternal Night Continent to the Twilight Continent.
Starting from Zhang Boqian's battle, the empire's huge war machine finally rumbled, and the major legions were mobilized in turn, some of them increased their troops to the Eternal Night, and some of them attacked the territory of the Dark Race from other aspects, hoping to reduce the pressure on the Eternal Night Continent.
In the midst of this magnificent war, there is an unusually quiet corner, Blackstream City.
Ever since the Dark Army left, Blackstream has been in a standoff with the small surveillance force. The people outside the city did not attack, and the people in the city did not want to go out, so the situation became deadlocked. As the flames spread throughout the Eternal Night Continent, the war grew fierce, and it seemed to be a forgotten corner.
In the quiet days, Wei Bainian was not idle at all, reinforcing the defenses of Blackstream City every moment. With each passing day, Blackstream City is one more step closer to becoming a complete fortress of war.
Thousand Nights was not completely idle, and after confirming that the Dark Army had left this war zone, he led the mercenary group out of Blackstream City and headed for the mine occupied by deserters from the Seventh Division.
When the dark army crossed, the 15th Division was completely defeated, and even the remnants of the 7th Division in the mines were much reduced. The ensuing offensive and defensive battle was not too fierce, and as soon as the battle began, the three leaders of the remnants were killed by Qianye with an eagle strike, and the morale of the remnants plummeted, and many even began to flee.
According to the previous agreement with Wei Bonian, Qianye parked the Darkfire Mercenary Group in this mine until the end of the war.
The mine is remote, not on the usual marching routes, and the attached town has a population of only a few hundred, and has no value other than a not fertile vein. The terrain around the mine is complex, with a branch vein in the mountains at its back, and it is within flight distance of small floating boats. Defending the mine ensured a passage of escape for Blackstream City. Although this passage can only be used by a few people, the big people in Blackflow City who have to stay will feel much more at ease, and they will be able to do less tricks behind their backs.
After taking possession of the mines, Thousand Nights surveyed the nearby area alone, and all signs showed that the dark army that had once crossed the border had indeed marched into the depths of the human realm without stopping, which verified their previous judgment.
After Qianye returned to the black process, he continued to practice behind closed doors, and continued to conduct high-intensity physical training to adapt to the sudden increase in strength.
Compared to the original golden blood qi, the newborn dark gold blood qi was very quiet, and most of the time it was entrenched in the pupil rune and remained motionless, only occasionally bursting out to devour an ordinary blood qi. It was too quiet, and that kind of silence did not make people ignore its existence, but it would make a thousand nights inexplicably chill, as if they were blown by an indescribable reckless and ancient atmosphere.
The pupil runes would occasionally flash with a burst of light, and the changes that emerged became more and more complex, with signs of advancing or even deriving new runes.
Qianye is still majoring in military warfare, and this time the transformation and enhancement of the body by the dark gold blood qi has lasted an unprecedented amount of time, and the benefits are naturally great, and he has been able to easily push the tide of the Dawn Force through forty rounds. However, after being condensed by the Song Clan's ancient scrolls, the total amount of Force power was not very amazing, only twice that of the same level.
As for the Dark Force, Thousand Nights doesn't have to worry about clashing with the Dawn Force for the time being. After all the blood qi absorbed in the second battle of Black Mud Town was transformed, it actually turned into food for three blood qi in the body, most of which was swallowed by dark gold blood qi, and a small amount was absorbed by purple and ordinary blood qi.
In the midst of the war in full swing, the speed of transmission of various intelligence and information has also been affected. There was finally a new movement on the side of the expeditionary force headquarters, and two official documents were sent to Blackstream City after crossing the line of fire.
The first is the commendation order. The amount of the battle merit bonus listed in the annex was quite unexpected, according to Qianye's record, he alone could get as much as three thousand gold coins. This amount was no less than the unit price offered by the freedom fighters, and the headquarters of the expeditionary force only took less than 20% of the military expenses.
However, it was wartime, and all rewards would not be paid until after the war, and the few reliable transportation channels that remained were apparently giving way to emergency munitions.
The other is a battle order. The text severely reprimanded Wei Bainian's behavior of not being able to retreat, and ordered him to immediately set out with the 7th Division to attack the army of the dark race that was now operating in Trois-Rivières from the rear, so as to relieve the pressure on the overall battle situation.
After reading this order, Wei Bonian immediately sneered, and directly tore the official document to shreds in front of Qianye and the officers. Then Wei Bonian took the turtle shrinkage tactics to the extreme, and every wide road in the city was a three-step road, a five-step base, and there were secret sentries and sniper bunkers erected everywhere.
When the dark army outside the city said with actual actions that no matter how many people or soldiers came out of Blackstream City, they were not ready to move at all, Wei Bonian let go of the city ban. He also did not require the defenders to set up special checks on the flow of people entering and leaving, but only limited the strict opening and closing time of the city gates.
When people flow in and out, there will naturally be news spreading, and there will be many agents and spies of the dark race in the average human city, and Black Stream City is no exception. The defense situation in the city was quickly leaked, which also achieved Wei Bonian's goal, he just wanted to let the dark race know how difficult it was to defeat the Black Stream City, and how much it cost to pay.
The life of a thousand nights is not boring, at best a little boring. After he settled the mercenary group and returned to Blackstream City, he was cultivating almost all the time. Although Blackstream City is very calm now, the entire Tri-River County, and even the entire Eternal Night, are in danger, and if the human race is completely cleared out of this continent, the small Blackstream City will certainly not be able to be left alone. When the army of the dark race reappears under the city, it should be the time when the city is broken.
That night, Qianye, who had been training for a whole hour, had just walked out of the training room and entered the bathroom. When the hot water sprays on the skin, a feeling of comfort seems to erupt from every pore. At this moment, Qianye suddenly heard a voice: "Close to me"
Qianye was taken aback, and instantly entered a combat state, the crimson force light coming out of his body, intertwining with the water vapor that filled the room, like the clouds steaming at sunrise on the mountain peak.
The bathroom is not big, you don't have to turn your head to see it in a big way, except for Qianya, there is no one, not even a single bug.
Qianye reached out and turned off the shower, listening intently, the outhouse was equally quiet. He was sure, however, that he had heard the voice. With Qianye's keen perception and firm heart, how can there be auditory hallucinations or mishearings.
Qianye let go of her perception and scanned the bathroom and outhouse again, making sure that she couldn't find anything unusual, and then calmly walked out of the bathroom and began to change clothes, and the shining light teeth were placed next to her as usual, within reach.
After that, nothing unusual happened.
Qianye picked up a stack of documents and letters on the table and began to deal with the general affairs, he approved the two reports handed over by Song Hu, and wrote another letter to Song Zining.
After everything was dealt with, Qianye hesitated, during this time he had been using cultivation instead of sleep, but at this time he felt a little restless, maybe the recent wars and cultivation were too frequent, and as a result, there was no problem with his body, and he was a little overtired mentally.
When she first lay down on the bed, Qianye even felt a kind of happiness that she hadn't seen for a long time, and then she fell asleep and soon fell asleep.
Qianye's consciousness suddenly shook, and it felt as if the entire world was shaking, and he opened his eyes to find that everything was gray, not to mention that he couldn't see the furniture close at hand, and even the bed under him didn't know where to go. The fog was as thick as substance, slowly surging around the body, as if there was an independent consciousness.
Qianye stretched out his hand to fish, and actually directly 'tore' off a large piece of mist, and there was a feeling of grabbing wet cotton in his hand.
What's going on?,Qianye was amazed.
He looked down again, and suddenly realized that he was probably no longer in the room. He was standing, and under his feet was ordinary earth, and the black and oily soil seemed to be very fertile, but there was no life in sight, no grass, no insects, no life, nothing.
He looked up, and the sky was also gray, as if it was boundless, but there was nothing at all.
In this strange world, there seems to be nothing but fog and gray.
Qianye looked at himself, wearing a simple linen robe, but he never remembered that he had such a dress, which was very similar to the common clothing of low-level blood clans.
Qianye stretched out her hand, it was colored, and the exposed body parts outside the clothes were also colored, as usual. But in this gray world, it is extremely abnormal, because he is the only existence with color.
Qianye suddenly realized that it was a dream, but it felt too real.
Just then, the voice rang out again: "Come close to me"
This time, Qianye heard it very clearly, and the voice was a little ethereal, and it was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman from the voice, but the general direction could still be distinguished.
He tried to walk in the direction where the voice came from, it was a long journey, and in the consciousness of the thousand nights, at least half an hour had passed, and the surroundings were still the same, without the slightest change. Qianye looked at the gray mist next to him suspiciously, how did he feel that even the lines of the clouds were the same as at the beginning, did the world in this dream move forward?
When Qianye couldn't help but stop, the voice sounded again, this time it seemed to be a little clearer, and there seemed to be something behind those three words, but it couldn't be heard clearly.
Qianye thought for a moment and continued to move forward, this time walking for a full hour before he heard the voice again.
"Draw near to me and bring my head to me for eternal rest"
