Monarch of Evernight

Nan Ruohuai is common, but after all, he is an adult prince, somewhat of his own private property, though pathetically small. On Zheng's foreign island, he owns a small estate, which is more convenient than the town next to thousands of people.

The estate is built on a hillside by the hillside river. Below is a patch of farmland, with several small villages misdistributed and a beautiful and peaceful view of the countryside. With a mountain view and panoramic views of distant towns in the sun, a fairly smooth loess road winds down to connect towns and estates.

It's the end of summer and the climate is hot, but the hot wind blows across the river and brings silk and cool. At noon, when the sun is most poisonous, it's not so sad to lie in the shade of a tree.

This has been the case here for years, and it hasn't changed much. Even if it is a big fight, it is a matter for Wang Du. Wang is separated from here by a void, afraid it is not 18,000 miles. For those who finally work in the ground, let alone the world on the other end of the void, the furthest place many people have ever been in their lives is small towns.

At last, however, the tranquillity was broken, with a low burst of noise coming from the air, and a shadow swept across the earth. The farmers looked up stunned and stared at the huge thing over their heads and slowly flew over, not even knowing the hoe had fallen on the ground.

A moment later, the whole town was blown up, and everyone walked out of their homes, looked up into the sky and stared. Someone who knows a little bit about floating boats, but these are very different than the ones that bring passengers and cargo from the mainland in their perception. Especially that imperial battle cruise, which sailed at the top, was a flying town.

The unprecedented sight will deter people for a long time. A moment later, until the fleet arrived above the estate and began landing one after the other, the mayor suddenly realized, "That's royal property! ”

He didn't even have time to drive, not to mention his already blessed heavy body, and jumped up, relying on the Grade 3 Force to repair it, rushing toward the estate.

After all, it is a royal territory, the estate is small and the infrastructure is complete. An open space next to the main house is a floating boat takeoff and landing site. But the size of the three frigates was so small that they had been squeezed away that the rest of the convoys had to go to one side to find suitable landing and temporary parking places, such as on the hillside behind the estate.

When a frigate hatch opens, South Ruhuai disembarks the boat and waits beside him. Thousands of nights appeared at the hatch door, first measuring the surroundings, then picking up the ranks down, to South Ruhuaidao: “The place is not bad. ”

Nanhuao said: "This was given to me by my father. The environment and area are superior, but the location is a little remote. I would not have been entitled to this enclosure if it had not been so far away. ”

At this point, a bald, fat man came from afar and called far away: "Your Highness, are you? ”

Nan Ruohuai waved at the man and said to Thousand Nights: “This is the mayor of Jishui Town, who has always been very helpful. ”

By the time the mayor arrived, he was sweating and his clothes were wet. He first gave a courtesy to Nan Ruo, then obviously discovered that the thousand nights were the first of the people, so he looked at the thousand nights and asked carefully: "Your Highness, this is...”

Nan Ruohuai said: “This Master Zhao is my distant uncle in rank. He has been out of town for many years and has never returned to Zheng. Now my uncle is very homesick and wants to come back. As soon as I get the news, I'm going to greet you, and before I go home, I'm going to leave a foot here. ”

Nanhuai was very fluent, and the thousand nights were very silent.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been going back to the province, and this is a long established identity. However, according to the original design, for generations, Thousand Nights is a cousin of Nan Ruhuai. If Nan Ruohuai was a little older than Thousand Nights, he wouldn't dare call him Brother Thousand Nights. Who knows, if Nan comes to his mouth at this moment, his cousin becomes his uncle.

The mayor looked at the floating battleship that had landed, his face grew pale, he sweated more on his forehead, and he couldn't wipe it clean.

Thousand Nights suddenly laughed: “How are my warships? ”

The mayor stuttered: “Nature, nature is wonderful. This is an empire...”

He stopped urgently and smiled a thousand nights. "You also know this is Daqin's battleship. ”

The mayor didn't dare talk this time, just nodded. Looking back at the frigate for a thousand nights, looking up at the hovered air, still unable to find a position to land on the battle patrol, laughing: “These are Daqin warships, of course the model is relatively new, some recognize that it is also normal. ”

After all, Zheng is a nominal empire. Many times for military equipment, he will send troops and strong men to participate in the war, so many people can recognize imperial equipment.

The mayor sweats more, he knows more or less what the Empire's newfound warships mean. At this point, a carrier finally found an empty position and landed not far from the ship, leaving a group of soldiers armed to the teeth.

Although they had mercenary markings on them, the mayor felt he was not stupid, the whole team was neatly equipped, the style of armor was the same, and there were obvious ranks. In addition, this team has an extraordinary aura, and I'm afraid the Force is all taller than itself.

How could there be such a mercenary?

The mayor looked at the thousand nights and looked at Nan Ruohuai, his heart was already numbered.

Thousand nights later, smiling: “This estate looks a little small, I'm afraid I'll have to live in town. You guys come over here and escort the mayor back to arrange it. Be careful not to hurt anyone. ”

The two mercenary leaders walked over and sandwiched the mayor in the middle, lifting him up like an eagle with a chicken, laughing: “My lord said, let's not push too hard. Let's get out of here. Let's get this over with. ”

The other leader turned around and said, "Fifty men, line up! ”

The mayor is desperate, don't say 50 of these murderers, that is, 10 have enough to wipe out his poor town guard, and there will be no casualties themselves.

Nan Ruohuai said, “I'll come with you. ”

“Fine.” Nodded a thousand nights.

A moment later, he was already in the mayor's office, sitting in his large, comfortable leather chair. Retro office décor, rough in luxury, many celebrity paintings on the walls, should be fakes.

South Ruhuai and the mayor stood on both sides, one respecting the other nervous, and a middle-aged man sitting at the desk, all the more helpless, sweating all alone.

Holding this roster in the hands of Thousand Nights, he swept it and was surprised: “In such a small place, there are 150 town guards? Can you afford it? ”

There are thousands of people in Jishui Town. How can you afford 150 full-time townspeople? Moreover, the town is remote and quiet, and there is no chaos nearby. Perhaps the greatest danger on weekdays is the beast and the displaced, so many people are not needed to protect safety.

The middle-aged man at the table is the captain of the Town Guard, and there are two levels of the Force. Put it in town, it's also a party figure, but in front of a thousand nights, you can't even speak. He couldn't see the power of a thousand nights, but fear was greasy and he couldn't keep it down.

When he heard the question, the captain had to look to the mayor. The mayor scolded in his heart and laughed in his face. “That's right, the town guard is expanding its size to deal with possible disturbances. There are only so many posts, people are not yet filled, and I am not too proactive. ”

Thousand nights later, I realized it. I shook my head with laughter. “Turns out it was empty food. I didn't think of it at all. ”

He put the roster aside and smiled, faintly: “You're both smart people, and you should know something without saying it. Now take out all the maps and information on Floating Island, as many as you can. ”

The mayor secretly glanced at Nanru with a smile on his face. He couldn't see a thing at all. Now he understands. He lay his heart flat and rose into the back, presenting a stack of materials in front of him for a thousand nights.

Thousand Nights first picked up the atlas, looked at it one page at a time, looked over it, and then looked at it against the data.

Time passed quietly, and the day was falling far away. It took thousands of nights to rise and ponder.

Nanjohuai, the mayor and the town guard waited with a breath, not even a breath of atmosphere. A moment later, a thousand nights later, he looked up and said, "This is a nice place. If Huai, in my opinion, treat this as your first plot of land. ”

Didn't Nanjo have his own enclosed estate on the island? He thought about it before realizing it. At this moment, he was ecstatic and gave a deep gift. "Uncle Xie! ”

I couldn't help but pinch my nose and recognize this generation. He waved the mayor and the captain out, called in Song Lun and several of his generals, and circulated the atlas to everyone.

This floating island is not small, it is already equivalent to half of the Empire's smaller counties. However, it is the furthest from the mainland, the transportation is inconvenient, and the edge of the floating island is close to the land block protection layer, the climate is also unstable, and natural disasters are frequent, making it uninhabitable. The entire floating island is inhabitable in the western half and deserted in the eastern half.

However, the minerals of the eastern half of the Floating Island are abundant and the rare ore distribution is sometimes visible precisely because of the proximity to the edge of the continental protected area, which is constantly washed away by void forces. It's just that the mining area over there has only one or two months of mining time a year, and at other times is idle because of the harsh environment.

But the so-called harsh environment here doesn't matter to the people in the neutral land. At best, they feel uncomfortable for a long time. According to historical weather data here, for most of the year, the standard of a neutral place is called the calm wind, and only a void storm needs to be avoided.

The population of the floating islands is only a few hundred thousand because of the difficulty of diplomatic communication and the fact that they are basically self-sufficient. In the eyes of a thousand nights, this is the perfect base and springboard. Distance from the mainland of Zheng, instead of a natural barrier, for the thousand nights of holding Yingling Palace, the void is not a problem at all, but gives him the advantage to attack and defeat.

The largest urban distant city on the island, located on the western shore of the island, is the most stable region in outer space of the entire island and the largest transiting point to and from Kowloon. The only small fleet of floating islands is stationed there.

The fleet had more than a dozen floating ships the size of which seemed rather frightening at first glance, but when the generals looked at the specific model parameters, they couldn't help laughing. Those ships can't be called battleships. The gunships are lifted. They are basically small guns on ordinary floating boats, even if they are battleships.

A captain patted his chest and said out loud: "My lord, give me two frigates and I will destroy them! ”

Another general stared, "I need two more frigates to deal with these mutton fish, just give me one. ”

“Let me go, just an armed carrier! ”

“I don't even need a freighter! ”

Seeing the generals become more and more disgraceful, they had to knock on the table at night to calm them down.
