40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao blinked, and said to his heart that the "War of the Black Wind" was the source of everything.

It was precisely because of the Black Wind Battle that the Remnants of the Black Wind Fleet expedition to the Xinghai Beach, which led to the formation of a "new federation" by the various worlds in the Xinghai Beach to fend off enemies.

It was also because of the Black Wind War that the true human empire suffered a disastrous defeat, and there have been continuous reforms in the last hundred years, which loosened the rule of the four major electoral families, and even gave birth to the innovations and careerists like Li Linghai.

Now, even the legend of General Lei Chenghu has something to do with the Battle of Black Wind.

Li Linghai sighed and said: "In the past thousand years, the empire and the Holy League have fought for hegemony in the center of Xinghai. Although the Holy League has repeatedly attacked and displayed an aggressive posture, the empire has always maintained its line and has not shown too obvious a decline.

"Especially in the past few hundred years, the offensive of the Holy League has become more messy and impatient. Many senior empires believe that the national power of the Holy League has been seriously overdrawn. Even if there are brainwashing secrets such as the'Three Principles of Origin', it can trick the people into The'God' whose life was dedicated to them was gradually unable to support it.

"Therefore, the empire is full of optimism, thinking that if you stick to the star-sea defense line for hundreds of years, you can wait until the day when the Holy League does not fight and collapses.

"But the'War of the Black Wind' poured a scoop of cold water with icy ballast into everyone's vertebrae.

"The entire cantilever line of defense has completely collapsed, several deep space fleets have been devastated, and the five worlds of war including Black Wind have all fallen into the hands of the Holy League. The unstoppable forces of the Holy League have reached the softest abdomen of the empire. All the fleet’s eyes are on the sacred place where the empire has worked hard for thousands of years!"

Li Yaodao: "The World of War?"

"Yes, according to the amount of resources and the level of development, the empire roughly divides the vast world within its territory into four levels: the world of development, the world of resources, the world of industry, and the world of war."

Li Linghai said, "The world of war is the most valuable grade with the deepest industrial foundation. It has a large-scale arsenal, a magic weapon refining assembly line, and even the Xinghai Dockyard, capable of refining an entire fleet on its own, and has an imperial army. A heavily guarded world of super heavy industry.

"The value of a war world far exceeds ten worlds to be developed!

"The five worlds including Heifeng are all important military centers that the empire has operated for hundreds of years. They fell into the enemy's hands all at once. I don't know how much resources were lost and how many secrets were leaked. Therefore, they are the biggest threat to the empire for hundreds of years.

"Getting the news of the fall of the Five Great War Worlds on the border, the Duke Gungun of the imperial capital was naturally stunned, and immediately thunder was furious to launch a counterattack.

"In addition to the fact that the elites of the four major electoral families have been continuously sent to the front lines, it is natural to conscript troops of nobles and warlords to ‘defend the empire’.

"At this time, the four major electoral families have controlled the government for many years, and the evil consequences of the continuous fragmentation and gravelization of the place have appeared.

"Most of the small and medium-sized nobles and warlords in most places are perfunctory and hesitant, agreeing that anyway, with the elite of the four major electoral families in front, they can't go to the front and be cannon fodder.

"The most despicable and shameless of these are the warlords who originally entrenched in the Black Wind Realm.

"The responsibility for the collapse of the entire'Black Wind Defense Line' originally fell on the Black Wind Fleet, and the occupied Black Wind Realm is their hometown. The Black Wind people should regain the lost land at all costs. is not it?

"But Hei Yeming, who commanded the Black Wind Fleet at that time, was an old and cunning warlord leader, but he did not stop doing two things. He brazenly annexed the remaining fleets of the remaining four war worlds and possessed the capital to bargain with the imperial capital, taking advantage of the frontline situation. There was a great chaos, and in the name of helping the empire expand its territory, he fled towards the sea of ​​stars!

"Hehe, the journey to explore the Xinghai Beach is long and dangerous, but no matter how dangerous it is, it will not be able to deal with the Saint League army close at hand. If you really want to'expand the territory', turn around and kill back to your hometown. Why bother to stay close and seek further?"

Li Yao: "...Uh, the commander of the Black Wind Fleet is really despicable!"

But there is a wry smile in my heart-this is already the third way of saying "Black Wind Fleet Expedition to the Sea of ​​Stars". All the parties involved are putting gold on their faces. What is the truth, I am afraid that it would have been annihilated by the shards of stars. In, there is no way to verify it.

Li Linghai was extremely disgusted with the actions of the Black Wind Fleet, and his voice became colder: "Since the'bitter masters' who have fallen into the world, the Black Wind people are all looking for the wind and fleeing like this, and the private soldiers of the major princes and warlords, even more It is not guilty to help the entire empire to'block the eye', forcibly shake Lien Chan's success, the arrogant Holy League army.

"The four major electoral families also don't want to consume their elites in vain, at least they are not willing to rush to the first wave to go shopping with the holy allies, so they thought of General Lei Chenghu's fleet."

Li Yao said "Ah" and said, "This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone and hurts both sides!"

"Yes, even the blind can see that the four major electoral families want to kill people with the sword. Whether or not they can repel the offensive of the Holy Alliance, they can at least greatly weaken the strength of General Lei Chenghu."

Li Linghai said, "If General Lei Chenghu was really a hidden careerist and a big warlord with self-respect, as the world thought at the time, then he could completely ignore the order from the imperial capital, or be like other warlords. , Just send out some cannon fodder out to fill up the numbers, perfunctorily.

"Anyway, with General Lei's ability to unify the outer world in the fourth quadrant at that time, as long as he can't shrink, what can the four major electors' families take him?

"There is always a war on both sides. You have to deal with the Holy League on the front line, and you have to start a war with General Lei in the rear, right?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment, his eyes widened and said, "But General Lei still obeyed the order of the Senate and brought his talent to the front?"

"Yes, and General Lei did better than you. Not only did he bring all his talents out of the nest, he also tried his best to bring along the'Channel Guard Team', that is, dozens of worlds outside the fourth quadrant. Elite, forming a mighty coalition force, sprinting all the way to the'Black Wind Front'!"

Li Linghai sighed, "At that time, General Lei's prestige in dozens of nearby worlds was unmatched, and many fleets were controlled and dispatched by him-but the masters of these fleets, the nobles and warlords, gave the fleet to Lei. The general believed that General Lei could bring them benefits, and even attacked the privateer fleets in the remaining quadrants, and took all the spoils back to divide up. In other words, he wanted to make a fortune, but he did not want General Lei to take them to death in vain. !"

Li Yao blinked his eyes for a long time and said in disbelief: "That is to say... General Lei not only wants to be a fool himself, but also brings dozens of elites from the world to the number one fool of the day! "

"Yes, the sea of ​​stars is vast, and it is not difficult to block news. When the nobles and warlords who ruled dozens of great worlds finally reacted, they were beyond reach. All their elites disappeared in the depths of the sea of ​​stars—and forever. Can't come back."

Li Linghai smiled, and said, "You should be able to imagine that General Lei's crazy actions completely offended all the nobles and warlords in the fourth quadrant, and completely cut off his own way. What's the package of the "channel security team". The agreement also collapsed in an instant.

"Now, General Lei only has a large scale, but no foundation. All logistical supplies are controlled by the Senate, which is the combined fleet in the hands of the four major electoral families.

"The Senate is no accident. The joint fleet brought by General Lei has been deployed to the most dangerous frontline.

"In the face of the massive attack of the Saint League, General Lei did not complain or hesitate at all. Instead, he turned the tide and spent five years of **** battle. He almost wiped out all his direct descendants and elites, and abruptly blocked the Saints. The ally's stormy offensive.

"Although he failed to regain the five worlds such as Heifeng, he also re-established a solid defense line, dragging the holy ally to death in front of him.

"After a hundred years, General Lei's fleet has been stationed at the forefront, blocking the Holy League like a copper wall and iron wall, and never let even one of the Holy League's starships go one step beyond the thunder pool.

"It can be said that since the Battle of the Black Wind, the dirtiest, most tiring and hardest work on the battlefield of the empire in the last 100 years has been done by General Lei alone, so that the army and resources in the rear can be accumulated, dispatched and coordinated calmly. Operation, coupled with the spirit of the holy allies have been wiped out by General Lei, the "Imperial Counterattack" on such a large scale will progress so smoothly."

When Li Yao heard this, he said with a sigh of relief: "In this way, this General Lei Chenghu is really not a careerist or conspirator, but a...er, upright and unselfish soldier?"

"Yes, the so-called warlords are inseparable from the army and the turf. Although General Lei has a large-scale and amazingly powerful combined fleet, he has not had his own turf for a long time, and everything is controlled by the Senate."

Li Linghai said, "As he fought **** battles on the battlefield again and again regardless of life and death, everyone gradually realized the sincerity of General Lei. Even the four major electors’ families respected General Lei’s character, or, in other words, killed General Lei. If you do, I don’t know where to find such an honest, ambitious, but capable person.

"The Senate and the four major electors’ families are in great need of General Lei Chenghu’s “true soldiers who are loyal to the empire” to fight the Holy League on the front lines. After a hundred years, they will completely put down their guard against General Lei, and supplement and supplement his “Thunder Fleet”. The logistics supply is also unimpeded all the way, and all kinds of free fame continue to fall on General Lei.

"The true human empire was established for a thousand years. The highest level of the Imperial Army's "Special Black Star Medal" has been awarded a total of 17 pieces, of which 15 were awarded during the first 500 years of expansion and the next 500 years Only two were awarded, one of which was awarded to the commander of the four major electors’ families, and the other was awarded to General Lei Chenghu-his military exploits and prestige are evident!"
