Just when Zhang Tie was sighing that he didn't have any useful people on his side, Bai Suxian brought him a good news. The moment he fell asleep, someone had sent him a pillow …
Zhang Tie sprung up from his chair at once as he asked happily, "Have they arrived?"
"They live in Xuantian City. It's not far from here. I've brought them here. Why are you so excited?"
"Haha, of course, I'm excited. It's a gift from my future father-in-law's eldest brother-in-law. Additionally, it solves my urgent problem. Of course, I'm excited!" Zhang Tie directly sprung up from his chair as he put his arm around Bai Suxian's waist and kissed her face, "Honey, you're really my good wife!"
Bai Suxian was thrilled inside. After hearing Zhang Tie's praise, her face even shone. However, she just said, "You're so annoying …"
At the sight of Bai Suxian's enchanting look, Zhang Tie felt that his worry and trouble had been swept away at once. 'I have friends, brothers, reliance, relationships, a way out and such a capable wife. What else do I have to worry about? It's just a holy war. I'll deal with it when it comes. I'm not afraid of anyone.'
"Let's go, let's take a look over there!" Zhang Tie said spiritedly.
"Look at what?"
"Of course, those dare-to-die fighters!"
"Let them come here and show them to you!" Bai Suxian looked around the Ancestral Shrine Palace as she nodded, "It's spacious here. If they stand a bit closer, it could hold 2,000 people. Now that they've been gifted to you, as dare-to-die fighters, they have to hold a master-recognition ceremony. The master-recognition ceremony should be carried out in an undisturbed environment. This place is just right!"
"Master-Recognition ceremony?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
"Of course, Death Warriors are Death Warriors. Naturally, they have to recognize their masters. If they don't, anyone can command them. Who would dare to keep such people by their side?" Bai Suxian said with a bit arrogant look, "Goldensand dare-to-die fighters cultivated by Lord Guangnan's Mansion are famous across Taixia Country!"
"Great, then I would like to see it!" Zhang Tie said expectantly.
Zhang Tie knew that his elder brother had controlled a small country called Immortal Wind Country in Chaosang Subcontinent. One of the most important reasons that Zhang Yang favored Immortal Wind Country was that Immortal Wind Country could cultivate blood-dare-to-die fighters. It was not easy to cultivate dare-to-die fighters. Different secret methods could cultivate different dare-to-die fighters. Zhang Tie was told by his elder brother that Immortal Wind Country could only cultivate hundreds of blood-dare-to-die fighters each year. Additionally, it would take them a few years even over 10 decades to cultivate a batch of blood-dare-to-die fighters. At least the first batch of blood-dare-to-die fighters that Immortal Wind Country cultivated for Jinwu Business Group and his elder brother could not report to his elder brother until next year.
The 2,000 dare-to-die fighters gifted by Lord Guangnan's Mansion was definitely a great gift.
Watching Zhang Tie's expectation, Bai Suxian didn't say anything more; instead, she clapped her hands.
As Bai Suxian clapped her hands, two wrinkled old men in black robes and odd-looking animal horns entered the lobby, closely followed by teams of men and women in the same black robes.
Watching those people entering the palace, Zhang Tie found that they were nothing different than normal people superficially. They were all spirited with clear eyes. Most of them were about 30 years old. Some of them had grey hair and beards. Some of them were 20 years old. However, the number of them was relatively small.
These people were very disciplined, and all of their actions were very coordinated. Two thousand people walked into the main hall and lined up neatly without making a single sound.
After two thousand people walked into the spacious hall, it finally became lively and full of people.
"Princess, master, all the dare-to-die fighters have arrived!" The two old men who were giving out weird qi came to the front of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian as they bowed towards them respectfully.
"These dare-to-die fighters are male or female, old or young. Your elder brother said that they're domestic slaves of craftsmen in the way of dare-to-die fighters. What can they do?" Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian.
"They're domestic slaves of craftsmen in the way of dare-to-die fighters. Being domestic slaves of craftsmen is the key." Bai Suxian told the two old men. "Introduce them to me!"
"Yes! Among the 2,000 people, 1,700 are males, 300 are females. Among the males, 300 are LV 6 fighters, 200 are LV 7 fighters, 100 are LV 8 fighters, 50 are LV 9 assassins; 850 are blacksmiths, tailors, toolsmiths, gardeners, cobblers, shoemakers, carpenters, accountants, doctors, stewards, agronomists, difference engine operators, architects and clerks. Among the 300 females, 100 are female fighters ranging from LV 6 to LV 9, who could also work as maids and use remote-sensing crystals. The other 200 are gardeners, embroiderers, cooks, actresses, musicians, wet nurses and accountants. Over 150 of them could hold multiple jobs! "
Such dare-to-die fighters really shocked Zhang Tie.
"What's the difference between the Jinsha dare-to-die fighters and the blood-dare-to-die fighters of Immortal Wind Country in Chaosang Subcontinent?"
"The blood-dare-to-die fighters of Lord Guangnan's Mansion don't lose their intelligence. They're nothing different than commoners. Each of the blood-dare-to-die fighters here could constantly develop and make greater achievements on their own paths. However, if you want any of them to die, they would not hesitate to do so!" Bai Suxian explained as she revealed a disdainful look, "However, those blood-dare-to-die fighters of Immortal Wind Country in Chaosang Subcontinent are nothing among the blood-dare-to-die fighters in Taixia Country. After being trained, those blood-dare-to-die fighters would lose a part of their intelligence. As a result, they could barely make great progress and achievements on their own paths. Although they follow the orders of their masters and would not betray their masters, in the final analysis, those blood-dare-to-die fighters could only be used as cannon fodder; however, it would be very difficult for them to do something else or step onto a higher stage. Additionally, blood-dare-to-die fighters could only be trained to be males; instead of females. Those blood-dare-to-die fighters in Chaosang Subcontinent are just very low-level blood-dare-to-die fighters.
Why do you ask about this? "Zhang Tie became speechless. Of course, Bai Suxian didn't know that her elder brother could train blood-dare-to-die fighters by controlling Immortal Wind Country in Chaosang Subcontinent. However, those who could train blood-dare-to-die fighters in Taixia Country were not common people or clans. Her elder brother had already tried his best to control a small country which could train blood-dare-to-die fighters in Chaosang Subcontinent. As a princess, a knight and growing up in Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Bai Suxian was picky. Even if Bai Suxian didn't like it, it was not necessarily useless.
"When I was in trouble two years ago, my elder brother controlled Immortal Wind Country in Chaosang Subcontinent in advance. I was told that Immortal Wind Country could train blood-dare-to-die fighters!" Zhang Tie told Bai Suxian honestly.
Bai Suxian stuck out her tongue in an adorable manner as she patted her chest, "Ahh, I will not say that in front of your elder brother from now on!"
"Hoho, it's good that you know that. Oh, is it difficult to train these Goldensand dare-to-die fighters?"
"Of course, it's difficult. Based on the power of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Lord Guangnan's Mansion could only train about 1,000 Goldensand dare-to-die fighters each year. These people in front of you are the achievement of Lord Guangnan's Mansion in two years!"
"How do I recognize them as my master?"
"Just do as they say. This ceremony is very easy!" Bai Suxian said as she walked aside, "After a while, only you can stand here alone. They could only see you alone. I will wait for you on one side!"
Zhang Tie nodded.
Under Zhang Tie's curious gaze, one of the two weird elders turned his hand as he took out a weird stump which was higher than 1 m in diameter from his portable space-teleportation equipment and put it in front of Zhang Tie. Closely after that, he took out a flag being covered with bizarre runes and hung it behind that stump. After that, he took out a necklace which was composed of the skulls of wild beasts and gave it to Zhang Tie. After that, he told Zhang Tie to stand on that stump.
The other elder took out a pair of closed shells from his sleeve and gave them to Zhang Tie, "After a while, when we leave and play the wooden flute, you open the bone shells and break your finger. After that, you drop some blood onto the black ball inside the bone shells. Stand still here. When they close their eyes and open their eyes, this rite will come to an end!"
"That simple?"
The old man nodded.
"Fine!"
The two weird elders then walked away. When they came to the edge of the team of 2,000 people, one of them took out a green flute from his sleeve and blew some weird notes. When the weird notes reverberated in the palace, all the 2,000 dare-to-die fighters in the palace suddenly widely opened their eyes as they watched Zhang Tie who was standing on the high platform. In a split second, their eyes turned extremely clear and a bit vacant like babies who had just come to this world. They were all attracted by Zhang Tie as they watched him out of curiosity.
Zhang Tie hurriedly opened the pair of bone shells. There was indeed a black ball inside the bone shells. Zhang Tie then broke his finger and dripped some blood onto the black ball.
Strangely, when the first drop of blood fell onto the black ball, a part of the black ball had turned golden. When the 4th drop of blood fell onto the black ball, the entire ball had turned golden. Closely after that, the golden ball suddenly dispersed and turned into numerous tiny golden grains like sand being weathered. Closely after that, they flew towards those dare-to-die fighters.
Of course, they were not golden sands, but numerous bizarre winged insects which were as fine as sand. There were 2,000 of them. When they came to the front of those dare-to-die fighters, they directly entered their nostrils. Closely after that, they drilled into their nostrils like being sucked in …
Under the gaze of Zhang Tie's secret lotus-flower eyes, after entering the nostrils of those dare-to-die fighters, those tiny insects directly drilled into a bizarre place in their heads. Closely after that, they became silent and turned grey as if they had become a part of their brains. Thankfully, Zhang Tie had lotus-flower eyes. Therefore, he could see the whole process clearly through the looks of human bodies. If it were another person, even if he cut open those dare-to-die fighters' bodies and searched inch by inch, he could not find anything from them.
At this moment, all the 2,000 dare-to-die fighters in the palace closed their eyes.
Only after 1 minute, all of them had opened their eyes. When they looked at Zhang Tie who was standing on the high platform like an old tree stump in a weird outfit, their eye light had been utterly different than that when they entered the palace just now.
Zhang Tie had seen the same eye light in the eyes of the fanatics of Ancient God Church and those people whom he had saved in Castle of Black Iron, which was a fanaticism and unconditional reliance which could sacrifice their lives and everything for Zhang Tie at any time like how a fish saw the ocean or how a son saw his father.
"Master!" The 2,000 people uttered in unison as they bowed towards Zhang Tie at the same time.
'What amazing Jinsha dare-to-die fighters!' At this moment, Zhang Tie could only sigh with emotion, 'What a great method to cultivate dare-to-die fighters!'
At this moment, Zhang Tie recalled some special animal controlling methods that he knew. These special animal controlling methods had been spread among humans before the Catastrophe. At that time, humans mainly cultivated military dogs or police dogs. These military dogs and police dogs were all cultivated by professionals in special bases. They were very fierce. However, when these military dogs and police dogs were sent to the police and troops, the breeders of these military dogs and police dogs would have a "master recognition ceremony" with the recipients, namely the future owners of these military dogs and police dogs. In this ceremony, the future owners of these military dogs and police dogs could provide a portable item with their odor such as a key bag, a hat or a vest. The breeders of military dogs and police dogs could make these military dogs and police dogs completely follow the orders of their new owners and be loyal to their new owners through odor in some special methods.
The so-called Master Recognition Ceremony of the Death Warriors was, in essence, the same kind of ceremony. However, this ceremony controlled a person of a higher level. Hence, it was more profound and the secret technique used was also more powerful.
Zhang Tie walked off the high platform as he returned the weird necklace and the bone shell to the two old men of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
"How long does the effect of this ritual last?"
"Generally, it would last forever. Unless one of them promotes to a knight, the effect of this master recognition ceremony would disappear. However, by then, master, if you want to keep a knight who has been used to follow your orders, you should have a better method to make them loyal to you!"
Zhang Tie nodded as he looked at the 2,000 pairs of eyes which were gazing at him once again. All of a sudden, he burst out into laughter …
With the addition of 2,000 dare-to-die fighters, Xuantian Peak of Iron-Dragon Sect became vigorous on the same day. Iron-Dragon Sect finally looked like a major sect. Everything became more and more orderly.
As for Zhang Tie, at least he finally had someone to serve him on Xuantian Peak. He didn't need his disciples to take the roles of night guards and maids anymore. Otherwise, Zhang Tie would not be used to having some female disciples on his side all the time.
Zhang Tie didn't leave all of them in Iron-Dragon Sect; instead, he selected 300 people from the 2,000 dare-to-die fighters and had them report to Zhang Gui in Jinwu City. They would follow Zhang Gui's orders and take care of his family members in Jinwu City. As for those dare-to-die fighters who stayed in Iron-Dragon Sect, Zhang Tie assigned them tasks and took corresponding duties. Zhang Tie almost controlled the entire Iron-Dragon Sect at once.
3 days later, Donder returned to Iron-Dragon Sect after his first inspection in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. After knowing that Zhang Tie had 1,700 capable dare-to-die fighters, Donder directly selected 30 young women from those dare-to-die fighters. Additionally, he purchased a batch of remote-sensing communication equipment and helped Zhang Tie establish the first master's confidential department in Iron-Dragon Sect. In this way, each of Zhang Tie's orders could be delivered to the local associations in the cities under the jurisdiction of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory accurately and timely through authoritative channels.
After Zhang Tie returned to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory for one week, Iron-Dragon Sect and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory had gradually been on the right track. The power of Iron-Dragon Sect and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory had gradually been fully controlled by Zhang Tie.
The master of Wang Clan of Yushun Palace in Ningan City became the third subordinate of Zhang Tie in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory.
Similarly, only after a few days, the news that "iron birds were flying in the sky" outside Xuantian City and Zhang Tie invented "Fiery Oil" shocked Taixia Country once again.
What happened in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory aroused thousands of ripples. In Waii Sub-continent, the news that the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire had finally reached Zhang Tie's ears through the remote-sensing crystal of Pontiff Sarlin.
After one winter's preparation, Sacred Light Empire organized an expeditionary corps which could "crush Sacred Iceland Kingdom into powder" and set off from the harbor of Sacred Light Empire on the Western Continent in a high-spirited manner for the journey to conquer and punish Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
On the day before this expeditionary corps set off from the harbor of Sacred Light Empire, the ultimatum of Sacred Light Empire to Sacred Iceland Kingdom had been sent to Saint Petersburg.
Sacred Light Empire demanded Sacred Iceland Kingdom to surrender unconditionally, give up all the resistance, disband Ancient God Church, hand over all the "heretics" who participated in the murder of the mace muling of Sacred Light Empire and pay an astronomical amount of compensation to Sacred Light Empire, kneel down and wait for the arrival of the special envoy of Sacred Light Empire …
Saint Petersburg refused it. Therefore, on the next day, the expeditionary corps of Sacred Light Empire set off for Ice and Snow Wilderness by sea …
