Chapter 277 Third gear, open!
Kucha Kucha~wuwuwu~
In the early morning, the sound of the train arriving at the station broke the winter calm.
As soon as the car door was opened, the biting north wind suddenly poured into the warm car, and a majestic middle-aged man stepped out.
Outside the door, the bright red carpet extends to the exit of the station. Soldiers in military uniforms stand on both sides like statues, their spines as straight as the steam rifles in their hands.
"Your Majesty."
General Patton, known as the Iron Wall of the Empire, respectfully stepped forward and saluted.
Blood Emperor Istar said with an indifferent expression: "Take me to the front line to have a look."
"This..."
Barton was caught off guard, but he He didn't dare to disobey the Blood Emperor's authority, so he nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will obey the Holy Order."
The dignitaries who came to greet the emperor could only follow closely behind and follow the Blood Emperor to the front line for inspection.
Said to be a 'frontline', it is actually just a camp that stores frontline military supplies. It is also responsible for the treatment and transportation of wounded soldiers.
Barton is not a fool, so it is naturally impossible for him to really take the emperor to the front line of the battlefield where artillery fire and flesh and blood are everywhere. Anyway, if you insist on explaining, this is also the front line.
Looking at the dejected soldiers in the camp and the wounded with missing arms and legs, the Blood Emperor looked very ugly.
The war has been going on for more than half a year, but the empire has not been able to capture even one of the enemy's cities. This has never happened in the past ten years.
Nowadays, the empire has invested a lot of resources, but has not been able to get enough returns. There is obviously some internal dissatisfaction. The enthusiasm of the nobles to support the war is fading. This is an extremely dangerous signal.
“Why is there no progress on the front?”
Istar looked at Barton. Although he had seen many analysis reports in the palace, it was still worse than not seeing it with his own eyes. reality.
Barton is known as the Iron Wall of the Empire and is already the best general in the Iron Fury Empire. But at this moment, facing the emperor's inquiry, he failed to show any confidence in winning.
“Your Majesty, the enemy’s fighting method is something we have never encountered before. Although they do not have powerful steam weapons, they have an iron will and an iron body, and their tactics are very flexible. It can avoid the front of our army and frequently use outflanking tactics to attack the flanks and rear of our army..."
Obviously, the invincible Imperial Army has never fought such a tough battle before, nor has it ever encountered an opponent as well matched as Da Qi.
In the past wars, to put it bluntly, the imperial army used powerful steam technology to unilaterally crush the feudal lords along the Black Sea and White Sea, so it was able to win every battle.
In contrast, the Central Plains has fought large-scale wars for thousands of years. The logistics system and mobilization system are actually more powerful, and the fighting will of the soldiers is far beyond that of ordinary humans, even steam And steel cannot be shaken.
Istar frowned slightly when he heard this: "How many troops did the other side invest?"
"Not counting logistics, the main force involved in the battle was about 60,000 people."
"Sixty thousand people..."
Istar laughed angrily at this result, and the voice that came out of his mouth was colder than the cold wind: "The empire has invested a total of 300,000 troops. More than half of the steam battle armors and steam tanks turned out to be on a par with the enemy's 60,000 soldiers. ? Even after the weather turned cold, our army actually started to fall into a disadvantage? "
"Your Majesty, the enemy's soldiers have super physical strength, they can ignore the cold, but our soldiers cannot. Adapt to the severe winter here..."
Barton was also very helpless.
Even if he can ignore the casualties of ordinary soldiers and force them to fight in the ice and snow, the mechas who drive steam armor are all from noble backgrounds, so they cannot use steam pistols against these young men. Let them go to the battlefield to fill in the lines with their heads, right?
Istar's expression was gloomy: "I am going to launch a winter offensive and complete the victory in one battle."
"This is too risky, please think again, Your Majesty!"
"Alas~"
Istar threw several top-secret documents that he carried with him to Barton: "Let's take a look at them all."
After reading them, Barton was shocked: "How could this be?"
After the news of the defeat in the battle on the front line of the empire came back, many old nobles in the originally conquered territories began to move under the banner of the "restorationists".
If it were just them, it would be okay. After all, the steam armor and steam tanks left behind in the country are enough to easily crush this group of scum.
The bad thing is that the intelligence network left behind by Wang Junfeng before he left is still in operation, and the martial arts inheritance of Xinwu Sect has begun to spread in the Land of Sunset.
Especially those old nobles who lost their territories joined the Xinwu Sect one after another and embarked on the path of martial arts practice.
With the power of martial arts, they have mastered the means to fight against the imperial steam army. Even though they are still weak at the moment, this trend makes the Blood Emperor Istar worried.
"There is an old saying in the East, a single spark can start a prairie fire."
Istar stared at General Patton firmly: "The empire urgently needs a victory now. Only victory can we suppress these things." The restless remnants of the old aristocracy.”
Then, Istar’s words. The tune also became sonorous, full of undeniable courage and determination: "This time, I will lead the expedition in person, and I will not return the leaves until they are broken."
Although I don't want to carry out such a battle without complete certainty. A huge military gamble, but now the signs of civil strife in the empire have emerged, and there is no time to hesitate.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to win a glorious victory for the empire!"
"Hahaha, this is my loyal minister."
…………
The capital, Luoyang.
In the harem, Ye Qingzhou was enjoying the snow quietly with the queen. The four women accompanying him were the noble concubine Wu Ya and the three newly admitted princesses.
Shu Fei, Evelin.
The concubine, Alia.
The virtuous concubine, Anna.
When the three of them first arrived, they were unfamiliar with the place and felt very uneasy.
But after entering the palace, they soon became happy and indulged in the luxurious and exquisite life. Compared with the current life, they used to live in the countryside.
Anyway, they don’t miss their hometown at all now. If anyone dares to let them go back, they will be in trouble.
Buzz buzz~
The Xuanyuan Sword in Ye Qingzhou's arms suddenly shook. He then stroked the sword lightly and said, "It seems that I should move it too."
Shen Jingyi showed concern His expression: "The sword has no eyes, husband, please be careful."
"I will."
After Ye Qingzhou finished speaking, he held the Xuanyuan Sword and rose into the sky, flying in the air Flying all the way west.
At this time, on the battlefield on the front line of Broken Leaf City, Istar's plane and imperial flag suddenly appeared, successfully boosting the morale of the Imperial Army.
In Suiye City, in front of Qiao Tower, Nie Shixiong, Xu Buyi and Zhang Shunchen, who came after hearing the news, all looked at the battlefield with solemn expressions.
Wang Junfeng recognized the imperial flag of the Iron Fury Empire at a glance: "Blood-Winged Dragon, this is the Blood Emperor's plane. It seems that he is going to die personally."
"Emperor-level A steam armor?"
Nie Shixiong clenched the halberd in his hand: "It looks like we are going to have a hard battle."
In previous battles, everyone has seen the Empire's Glory-level, Fearless-level, Golden Lion-level and King-level steam armors.
Among them, they can still deal with the King level, but only Wang Junfeng has the experience to face the Emperor level steam armor.
The three of them looked at Wang Junfeng, who shook his head: "The last time we met, I couldn't even catch a sword. It was a combat power that surpassed the Eight Sects. It is estimated that only the Holy One can resist."
"No matter what, Suiye City cannot be lost."
Then the four of them faced off against this unprecedentedly powerful enemy in front of them.
Spears, halberds, swords, and bows, the four of them joined forces and fought bloody battles, but still lost to Istar.
As an emperor-level steam battle armor, the Bloodwing Dragon is superior to other steam battle armors in terms of mobility and defense. The Blood Emperor himself has undergone many spiritual sublimations and has terrifying powers. The ability to sense and react, and control the huge steam armor like an arm.
"The four of you have been able to persevere until now with your flesh and blood. Your fighting spirit is really worthy of admiration. Surrender, I will spare your life, and even allow you to become the generals of the empire."
< br>Istar stood proudly on the battlefield, looking at the scarred Wang Junfeng, Nie Shixiong, Xu Buyi and Zhang Shunchen, and couldn't help but love their talents. Istar felt very uncomfortable that such a loyal and brave person came from Qi and not the empire.
Wang Junfeng was furious when he heard this: "Loyal ministers have nothing to do with the two masters. You want us to bend our knees to you and dream!"
"If you refuse to surrender, then die."
Ista You raised the steam chain sword in your hand, about to deliver a fatal blow to end this battle.
In an instant, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, lightning and thunder, and a proud figure held a holy sword on his back and fell against the wind: "Today, you can't kill anyone."
"Your Majesty!"< br>
"The Holy Emperor has personally marched!"
The arrival of Ye Qingzhou greatly boosted the morale of the defenders of Suiye City, and Wang Junfeng and others rekindled their hopes.
“Are you the emperor of Daqi?”
In the steam armor, Istar looked at Ye Qingzhou with a solemn expression. He felt an unprecedented pressure and crisis. The boiling spirituality told him that the creature in front of him was incredibly powerful.
Ye Qingzhou also looked at the Blood-Winged Dragon, his eyes penetrated the thick titanium Kobelco, and fell on Istar. He said through his spiritual mind: "I have been waiting for you to appear. .”

“Did you know that I would come?”
Istar’s mind kept warning, even if he was driving the most powerful steam armor in the empire, it could not give him the slightest sense of security.
“Of course, I have been waiting for this day for too long.”
铮~
The sound of the holy sword Xuanyuan silenced Xingyun, officially starting the battle of Dao Zheng.
Ye Qingzhou slashed out with his sword and tore the sky apart. The clear sky seemed to have been cut open in an instant, presenting the magnificent and vast starry sky in front of everyone.
Istar reacted quickly and immediately raised his sword to fight back, wanting to counterattack with attack and suppress Ye Qingzhou.
Dang Dang Dang~
The huge chain sword is more than eight meters long, and it is extremely powerful when wielded. Even a strong martial arts expert with all eight branches cannot face such an attack. Dare to meet head-on.
But for Ye Qingzhou, who was holding the holy sword Xuanyuan, his opponent's sword skills were too weak.
“Your attacks are full of flaws, like a reckless man with only brute strength.”
Faced with Istar’s counterattack, Ye Qingzhou dealt with it with ease and was able to deal with it from time to time. Several rays of sword energy bypassed the opponent's defense and struck the blood-winged dragon's outer armor, cutting it into pieces.
“Impossible!”
Istar began to panic. Ever since he obtained the Bloodwing Dragon, he had never felt that he would lose.
But now his spirituality is telling him that defeat is certain. The opponent is so powerful that he has no chance to make a comeback: "I don't believe it! I am the emperor, how can I lose!"
"Emperor ?”
Ye Qingzhou sneered: "You are just my whetstone. This Taoist dispute started because of me, so naturally I will end it myself."
Zheng~
Zhu Xian Sword Rui!
The sword moves that merged the avenue of destruction and the avenue of water and fire transformed again. One sword slashed out, destroying the world and destroying the world. Water and fire were ruthless. The surging power shattered Istar's steam chain sword, and at the same time, his steam chain sword was shattered. The armor crashed to the ground, blasting a deep crater the size of a football field on the battlefield.
Ye Qingzhou used the power of the water and fire avenue to resonate with all the cells in his body, sublimating his life to the extreme, and finally successfully developed the third gear.
The first level is the opening and closing of the Dantian.
The second gear is the overclocking of the physical body.
The third level is the resonance of cells. Ye Qingzhou relies on his powerful spiritual realm to allow his spiritual thoughts to perform molecular-level operations, thereby squeezing out the full potential of his own cells.
With a casual stroke, the thick titanium Kobelco outer armor was cut open by the Xuanyuan Sword like tofu, revealing the seriously injured Istar in the cockpit.
The aloof Blood Emperor of the Iron Fury Empire bathed in his own blood for the first time.
At this moment, his face was full of reluctance, still unwilling to accept the result of failure: "It's impossible, how could you be so strong?"
"You are too weak."< br>
Ye Qingzhou looked indifferent Ran: "Your fragile body cannot exert the combat power that the steam armor should have. Titanium Kobelco is strong enough to pose a threat to me. Unfortunately, as the 'wet parts' of the armor, your fragile body is the biggest Weaknesses.”
These words completely shattered Istar's heart.
The power he had always been proud of was so worthless in front of Ye Qingzhou.
"People who are close to power always think that they have mastered power, but in fact, you are nothing."
Ye Qingzhou slashed off Istar's head with his sword, and in an instant In the meantime, the two fortunes that gathered above the battlefield began to merge, and finally converged on Ye Qingzhou.
“The battle between avenues is destined to be a winner-takes-all game.”
Feeling that his heart and spirit are constantly sublimating, Ye Qingzhou's pair of starry eyes are shining brighter and brighter. After a long wait, he has finally harvested the richest fruit.
In the war of iron and blood, the two civilizations of the east and west of the Cangyuan world finally merged into one after a fierce collision.
The flower of civilization blooms and finally condenses into a fruit that gathers the wishes of all living beings - the Tao Fruit.
After swallowing this Dao Fruit, Ye Qingzhou suddenly realized and saw clearly the layout of Xuanyuan Huangdi: "It turns out that the Holy Sword Xuanyuan is actually a seed. In Cangyuan, which was originally just a primitive and barbaric place, The Great Realm recreated the East Ji Kingdom, and finally harvested the Dao Fruit. "
There is no doubt that as something that the Taixu Divine Dynasty is extremely eager for, the Dao Fruit is far more precious than imagined.
What makes Ye Qingzhou even more incredible is that the civilization of Dongji Country can actually reproduce itself in another world. This is undoubtedly extremely special.
“It seems that the civilization of Dongji Kingdom is unique. No wonder the Emperor of Taixu Dynasty did not hesitate to reincarnate to occupy the magpie’s nest and rob it.”
The Taoist struggle is over. Ye Qingzhou, who has swallowed and digested the Tao fruit, has understood many secrets: "The essence of Tao is rules and order, and the ultimate form of civilization is , the same is true, so the civilization that advocates rules and order is more likely to condense the Tao Fruit."
Ye Qingzhou thought about it at this moment and found that even if Istar won the Tao dispute, Iron Fury would be the best. The empire is also very likely to annex Daqi, absorb the knowledge of Xinwu Sect, absorb the historical experience of the Central Plains, and eventually evolve into a higher civilization.
Although Ye Qingzhou won this battle easily, he did not underestimate the technological power of his opponent. Instead, he couldn't help but have a new idea in his heart: "Steam armor is a powerful combat weapon. , the only weakness is the driver, so what about letting the soldier act as the driver?”
Obviously, Da Qi warriors and steam armor are the most perfect combination.
The soldiers have a strong physique and keen perception, can withstand greater loads, and exert a stronger combat effectiveness of the steam armor.
The existence of steam armor greatly increases the lethality and destructive power of soldiers.
When Ye Qingzhou pulled Istar's body out of the cockpit, the Iron Fury Empire's army immediately collapsed. Countless soldiers knelt on the ground, begging the Emperor of Qi for mercy.
The few who resisted were also killed by the soldiers.
The war between the two civilizations has already decided the winner.
In the end, General Patton of the Imperial Iron Wall personally presented his sword and knelt down to surrender, declaring defeat and surrender.
Ye Qingzhou looked at Barton: "Take me to the City of God's Forge. I want to see your miracles with my own eyes."
Although the war was victorious, Ye Qingzhou was still obsessed with the sunset. The supreme will of the gods that the earth now worships is of great interest.
“Yes.”
Patton lowered his head humbly. As a loser, he had no room for refusal.
In today's situation, unless the Supreme Will himself drives the steam armor down to earth, there is no possibility for the Imperial Army to make a comeback.
The news of the defeat was like a tornado, blowing from the front line to the rear. The empire, which was forcibly held together, fell apart in just a few days.
Countless steam legions have declared their independence one after another. They use various dazzling banners to prove the legal rationality of their power.
Even the remnants of the conquered old nobles in the Land of Sunset have initiated restoration efforts to restore their old glory.
Endless civil war and turmoil are a feast for careerists to carve up the empire's heritage. Ye Qingzhou doesn't care about this. He has only one goal, and that is the steam battleship picked up by Istar.
