Li Tianquan's face sank, and he shouted: "What's so flustered!"

The female clerk who came in was a little afraid, but still said: "Prince Jing Zhan has just returned to the base, he is seriously injured and unconscious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Tianquan was shocked, stood up suddenly, and said, "How could it be, what he brought out was an entire company of elite soldiers! What did they do?"

"All the soldiers of Gongzi Jingzhan were wiped out, and General Hong was seriously injured before sending Gongzi back. ”

"Where are the others, take me over to see!" Li Tianquan said urgently.

"Elder, there's another piece of news...."The female clerk looked a little stumped.

"Don't say it yet!" Li Tianquan said impatiently.

"This ...... I just got the news that something happened to the troops that were transporting supplies to the Song Valve, and we only ...... Only half of the people who fled back. ”

"What?" Li Tianquan's surprise was not trivial, he grabbed the female clerk's hand and said, "Isn't that troop being escorted by Li Ke?

"According to the people who came back, Lord Rick ...... Die. ”

Li Tianquan suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, his body shook, and when he reached out to hold the edge of the table, he fixed his mind and said, "Die in battle?"

"Yes, the one who came back said that he saw Lord Li Ke beheaded by the enemy. ”

Li Tianquan's face turned pale again, and there was even some taste of blood in his mouth.

Li Ke is the backbone of the Li family, brave and strategic, and a general who can stand alone. If it weren't for the side branch, he would have been able to climb to a higher position a long time ago. More importantly, Li Ke is an important combat force of Li Tianquan's house, and his loss is really a major loss.

Li Tianquan tried his best to calm down and asked: "With Li Ke's skills, how can he be beheaded by the enemy? Who is the other party and how many people are there?"

The female clerk said in a low voice: "There are only a dozen people on the other side, and they rushed straight to the Chinese army and won the battle with one blow." The leader was a Demon Count who severely wounded the Lord with a single shot and then beheaded him, and the Demon Count called himself Aiden Abyss. ”

"Demon Earl, Aiden......" Li Tianquan silently recited the name, feeling very familiar. He suddenly remembered that Qianye had said that he had been fighting with a demon-descended count for most of the past half a month, what was that earl's name?

Li Tianquan tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember anything, and his mood became more and more irritable. At that time, he didn't believe that Thousand Nights could hold down a Count of the Demon Family, and he didn't believe that the fact that there was no dark army crossing the border in that defense area was the result of the battle between Thousand Nights and the Demon Count.

Thinking that Li Ke was dead, but half of his men fled back, his heart was even more angry, and Sen Han said: "Order, all those who flee back will be taken down, and all of them will be executed for the crime of escaping from the battle and trapping the lord to death!"

As soon as this order came out, even the female clerk was taken aback, and she didn't care that she might be reprimanded if she was admonished in her own capacity, so she hurriedly said, "Elder, this ...... Do you wait for an inventory before making a conviction?"

She said it tactfully, but Li Tianquan immediately came to his senses. Executing hundreds of family private soldiers in one go, even if they escaped from the battlefield, is a great thing, even if Li Tianquan is the second elder, he does not have this right. At the very least, this should be done with the nod of the presbytery or the head of the house.

The truth is so, but nowhere to anger makes the nameless fire in Li Tianquan's heart burn even more fiercely, and this fire turns to Qianye's head: "Little beast, you must have let that demon come over, otherwise Li Ke would have died miserably!"

However, this thought can only exist in his heart, Li Tianquan took a deep breath, restored the prestige of the elder, and said, "Where are the people who fled back now? Take me over." Also, send me all the information about that demon to the office, and don't miss a single thing!"

Li Tianquan hurried away, and there was a lot of turmoil in the base. Since the beginning of the war, the Li family has never experienced such heavy losses, and in one day they lost one general and hundreds of private troops. Although those mercenary hunters are dead, they will die, but the Li family also has to pay a lot of pensions, otherwise who will give the Li family their lives in the future?

The more heavy the loss, the heavier the hatred for Qianye in Li Tianquan's heart. Although he also understood that this was just anger, it was still difficult to control himself. However, Li Tianquan didn't know that his thinking direction this time was rare and right.

The losses were only the beginning, and the bad news came almost every day in the future, with individual weaker units being directly disabled or even completely wiped out, and powerful teams being attacked from time to time. More than half of the loss records have a name to do with it, Aiden.

At this point, people really knew the terrifying nature of that demon-descended earl, especially in the misty forest, his existence was almost incomprehensible.

As the supreme person in charge of the base, Li Tianquan held several meetings in a row to analyze the battle report and study ways to deal with Aiden. The information about Aiden was also gradually improved, but the more it was analyzed, the more people felt that it was impossible to deal with this demon descendant unless a strong person of level fifteen or sixteen or even higher arrived.

However, in the Misty Forest, simply increasing the level of Force cultivation does not extend perception in equal proportions, unless there is a special talent for perception. According to known intelligence, Aiden's horizon is more than 400 meters, which is a desperate number.

The meeting inevitably reached a stalemate, could it be that in order to solve the problem of a Dark Earl to invite a god general to come over and join the war? This is definitely not a good idea, if the Imperial side puts a god general in the Misty Forest, the Dark Duke will appear on the Eternal Night side immediately. The war will escalate when neither side is ready.

When the Li family base was in a hurry, Qianye completed another hunt.

Unlike Aiden, the dark forces who encountered a thousand nights rarely slipped through the net, and he picked a team of about 100 people to start and quietly add nutrients to himself and the purple substrate.

It has been nearly half a month since this battle, and the Andua space is full, and it is calculated that all the military merit certificates are added together, which is about enough to change to a standard second-class merit, which is equivalent to hunting a powerful earl.

It's time to go back, Senya thought. He silently smoked the last stock, flicked the cigarette butt onto the werewolf corpse at his feet, and retreated in the direction of the base.

In the realm of eternal night, outside Blackstream, a team of trucks is approaching from afar. There were only five heavy-duty trucks carrying goods in this convoy, but there were more than 20 military vehicles guarding it. The officers guarding the gates had already seen the signs of the convoy's dark fire, but they still strictly carried out the inspection procedures.

It just so happened that the officer guarding the gate was familiar with one of the captains in the escort unit, so he couldn't help but point to the wagon and ask, "What is so important that you actually need to use a regiment to escort it?"

The captain spread his hands, lowered his voice, and said, "Be quiet! It was sent from the Werewolf City, and I don't know what the bottom of the car is, and no one is allowed to carry the goods." It is said that except for those people in Wolf City, only Duan Tou knows. ”

The guard officer was taken aback: "Boss Duan is also in the convoy?"

"Of course, the boss will take the formation himself, you understand?"

Duan Hao is an old man brought by Song Zining from Ningyuan Heavy Industry, and he can be regarded as the descendant of the lineage, and he has also received sufficient resource supply and vigorous training from Song Zining.

The successive battles in the bloody battle also benefited Duan Hao a lot, breaking several bottlenecks in a row when he was alive and dying, and successfully breaking through the generals when he was about to fight, and also became the first master under the dark fire from Qianye and Song Zining. Although Duan Hao is limited by his talents, I am afraid that he can only reach the eleventh or second level in this life, but this kind of general who was born on the regular battlefield has an actual combat power far above the Force level.

This time, the convoy was actually escorted by Duan Hao personally, which shows the degree of attention.

The officer guarding the door did not dare to ask any more questions, and waved his hand to let him go after completing the procedure. The convoy only stayed in the city for half a day, and then sailed to the airship take-off and landing field outside the city, and a moment later a high-speed airship took off and quickly moved away.

Inside the guard tower, a lieutenant lowered his binoculars, looked at the floatship that had disappeared into the sky, thoughtfully wrote down something on a piece of paper, and carefully kept it close to him.

Soon it was evening, and it was time for the lieutenant to rest. He handed over his post and did not return to the barracks, but walked towards the bustling business district. In the dark fire, it was not uncommon for a low-ranking officer like him to be alone, and when he was not on duty, most people did not want to stay alone in the camp and would go for some fun.

He hesitated, walked into a tavern, sat down in the corner, ordered a bottle of wine, and drank slowly.

After a while, a bewitching woman sat down across from him, looked at the wine sign, and said, "Don't you want me to have a drink?" ”

The lieutenant exhaled lightly and took the woman's hand. The woman frowned and quietly withdrew her hand. Under this casual little action, she already had an extra folded piece of paper in her hand. After another moment, the two looked like they hadn't negotiated the price, and finally broke up.

The woman lingered in the tavern for a while, but seemed to leave bored. She carefully watched her surroundings, walked into a small hotel not far away, went up to a suite on the second floor, and handed the note to a man in his early thirties.

The man had a clean face and a rather elegant temperament, which was quite out of place in the noisy, lively, rude, but vibrant Eternal Night Continent.

He opened the note under the lamp and carefully read every word on it.

At this time, the woman did not dare to disturb him and sat next to him with nothing to do. Outside the window, there was a constant roar of machinery, and the smell of rust and damp steam filled the air. Even if the windows are closed, this disgusting smell cannot be completely blocked. The woman's eyebrows furrowed, her nose furrowed slightly, and she looked unhappy.

The man finally finished reading the note, glanced at the woman, and said, "No way, since you are here, you have to endure this." ”

"Can't we change places? It's so close to the power tower. The woman complained.

Fueled by blackstone, the Blackstream Tower was a commodity that had been completely phased out in the Empire more than a hundred years ago, and its noise, perpetually leaking steam, and low energy conversion efficiency could fill a whole page.

But it also has the advantage of not being a picky eater, and even the worst quality blackstone can make it move. In addition, it is durable. For example, this big guy less than 100 meters away from the small hotel has long passed its useful life for I don't know how many years, but it is still running, and it looks like it can be used for a long, long time, but it needs to be repaired from time to time.

This power tower is now responsible for supplying power to the old city, and the new power tower that Song Zining bought out of his own pocket is naturally placed in the dark fire, and its power is only supplied to the camp and urban defense facilities.

Around the old power tower, ghettos were naturally formed. The low-level civilians of Blackstream City, as well as those low-level mercenary hunters, didn't care much about the environment, and only here could they afford to eat and lodging. In fact, most of the Terran central cities in the third- and fourth-level defense zones of Eternal Night are at the level of the Black Stream Old Power Tower, which is the real life in the Forsaken Land.

The man burned the note, thought for a moment, and said, "This is already the second such convoy this month." Wolf City ......"
