Not until the next daybreak did Zhang Tie fly back to Saint Petersburg leisurely.
Ockham escaped very fast. Only after more than 40 minutes, he and Zhang Tie had already flown over 6,000 miles away and entered the uninhabited region on the border of the Iced Continent in the north of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
In this region, besides ice, snow, storm and the boundless desolate snowfield, nobody could be seen. Few living beings could be seen. Of course, the battle between Ockham and Ockham would not arouse anyone's attention. Neither could the knights of Cardinal Elders Committee fly such a long distance in such a short period. As Ockham's spiritual energy was disturbed, he couldn't even send a message through remote-sensing crystal. Therefore, although the entire battle was earth-shaking, it was actually quiet. Besides Zhang Tie and Ockham, nobody else in this world knew that a battle broke out between a powerful shadow knight and a more abnormal divine dominator in the border of the Iced Continent in the north of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Zhang Tie was very satisfied with this battle. It was a great harvest.
After Ockham became his captive, Zhang Tie's road to promote to a shadow knight became much smoother. He predicted that after absorbing Ockham's water chakra, Zhang Tie would at least promote to the 5 change realm of earth knight.
The wealth in Ockham's portable space-teleportation equipment was even greater than what Zhang Tie got from Three-eye Association clans and demon generals in Waii Subcontinent. What made Zhang Tie more reassured was that his kinetic energy battle skills and ability as a divine dominator had been tested and perfected through this battle. As a result, Zhang Tie was completely confident to fight a shadow knight.
Although Ockham was not a top shadow knight, his battle strength was at least between the 3 change realm of shadow knight and the 5 change realm of shadow knight. Although Zhang Tie severely injured Ockham by golden spear at the beginning and weakened Ockham's battle strength, it was Zhang Tie's first time to defeat a shadow knight based on his battle strength. This battle was different than that between Zhang Tie and Han Zhengfang. As for Zhang Tie, this battle was a milestone.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem When the first ray of light of the rising sun reached the highest spire of the grey palace in Saint Petersburg, Zhang Tie had arrived above Saint Petersburg and slowed down.
In one night, St. Petersburg became a heavily guarded fortress. Looking down from the sky, there were signs of troop movements both inside and outside the city. Several large battle airships were wandering around St. Petersburg.
The moment Zhang Tie arrived, he had been discovered. A shadow rushed into the sky from the Summer Palace while some battle airships in the distance flew towards him at once.
"Your Majesty …" Elder Toles flew towards Zhang Tie from the Summer Palace. At the sight of Zhang Tie's look, Elder Toles couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine. By the way, did anything else happen last night? Is everyone okay?"
"Everyone is fine. There's no trouble!" After approaching Zhang Tie, Elder Toles looked at Zhang Tie from his head to his toe. After confirming that Zhang Tie was fine, he finally became reassured, "Your Majesty, did you meet Dali and the others?"
"No, where did they go?" Zhang Tie replied as he flew towards the Summer Palace. At this moment, those battle airships in the distance also saw Zhang Tie clearly. The fighters on the airships cheered as they changed their direction at once.
"Your Majesty and Ockham suddenly left last night. Closely after that, they also rushed out. However, they couldn't find Your Majesty. Therefore, they divided into two groups and searched for Zhang Tie in the north and south of Saint Petersburg!"
Ice and Snow Wilderness was so vast. Generally, as long as they were 200 miles away from Saint Petersburg, they could barely meet Zhang Tie even if they were in the same direction. Additionally, old wild bear Dali and the others could only search 1,000 miles away in one night. They could never approach the region where Zhang Tie fought Ockham. Therefore, it was normal that Zhang Tie didn't meet them on his way back.
"I'm fine now. Call them back!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile. Although these clan heads and elders of Ice and Snow Lie didn't help him last night, their loyalty was commendable. At least, they were more loyal than before. Previously, a mace muling of Sacred Light Empire could almost split Ice and Snow Wilderness; however, a sacred light muling of Sacred Light Empire came here last night. It was not bad that these guys dared come here for him. "Is Saint Petersburg under martial law?"
"Yes, since last night, the entire Saint Petersburg has been under martial law …"
"It's a big event. Cancel the martial law …"
"Yes, sir!" Although Elder Toles still had a question and wanted to ask Ockham about it, he found that Ockham didn't want to say it. What happened last night was too weird. Even the elders and knights at the scene didn't know what happened until now.
"Ockham will not come here anymore …" Zhang Tie said calmly.
Elder Toles' heart raced, 'It means a lot that he won't come here anymore …'
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had arrived at the Summer Palace. At the sight of Zhang Tie safe and sound, the fighters of Thor's Hammer who were defending the Summer Palace and preparing to fight the knights of Sacred Light Empire to the death suddenly burst into cheers …
"Wula … wula … wula …"
These fighters had a simple thought. No matter what, Zhang Tie and Ockham disappeared together last night. Now that Zhang Tie came back while Ockham didn't, it was a victory.
After experiencing one night's depression, numerous people were waiting for the news in the Summer Palace and Saint Petersburg. The cheers of Thor's Hammer were like a warm current which drove away that depressed and intense atmosphere at once.
The collapsed part of the palace where the banquet was held last night was still being cleaned. However, the loud cheers and the order of lifting the martial law and the return of the soldiers to the camp indicated that the crisis caused by the shadow knight of Sacred Light Empire had been lifted. As a result, a fervent and jubilant atmosphere spread over the entire Saint Petersburg.
When Zhang Tie returned to the Summer Palace, O 'Laura and Zhang Tie's kids also returned to the ground from those hidden shelters and came to the front of Zhang Tie. At the sight of Zhang Tie, all the women's eyes were full of tears.
Many people in Saint Petersburg and the Summer Palace must be worried about Zhang Tie last night. However, they were the most worried ones. Last night, they didn't sleep at all as they were worried about Zhang Tie's safety. Although it was only one night, they still felt that they had experienced a life-and-death separation when they saw Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie wiped off their tears, hugged and comforted them one after another. Finally, they recovered their composure.
Andre, Matvei, Alexander and Anatoly watched Zhang Tie with extremely admiring looks. In the past, they had mostly heard legends about Zhang Tie's bravery and God's miracles. Their mothers told them that their father was a real hero. However, kids didn't have a good understanding of the word "hero". However, last night, they witnessed their father's bravery. When a powerful enemy came here, their father alone defeated the enemy and protected them, their mothers and everybody else. This was what a hero was, a vivid, vivid and touchable hero.
"Father, when I grow up, I will also protect my mom and everyone else by spear like you …" Andre raised his little face as he told Zhang Tie with sparkling eyes, "Can you teach me how to use spear?"
After hearing Andre's words, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he stretched out his hand and touched Andre's head, saying, "As long as you want to learn, of course, I will teach you. Besides spear, I have many other skills that I can teach you. When you learn them, you will be able to protect your mom and drive away the enemy like me!"
All the kids nodded forcefully.
"Let's go. I'm afraid that you've not eaten breakfast. Let's have breakfast together …" Zhang Tie waved his hand.
Because of this sentence, the kitchen of the Xia Palace suddenly became bustling with activity …
…
Old wild bear Dali and the other knights of the Cardinal Elders Committee didn't return to the Summer Palace until 2 pm.
After all the members of the Cardinal Elders Committee gathered together, Zhang Tie summoned all the elders of the Cardinal Elders Committee in a study room of the Summer Palace. He had to explain what happened last night to these core figures of the Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
In the study room, Zhang Tie was sitting in the main seat while the other elders of the Cardinal Elders Committee were sitting on both sides of the study room. They were exchanging weird glances with each other, causing the entire study room to be filled with a weird atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, how's Ockham, the sacred light chief priest of Sacred Light Empire who raided the Summer Palace last night?"
Many elders wanted to ask this question; however, only old wild bear Dali could ask this question shamelessly.
Old wild bear Dali's question was exactly what Zhang Tie wanted.
"The power of Sacred Iceland Kingdom is definitely greater than what you've seen on the surface. A shadow knight couldn't shake the foundation of Sacred Iceland Kingdom!" Zhang Tie confirmed it; however, he said it ambiguously.
All the elders and clan heads understood it at once. Now that Zhang Tie had put it so "clearly", as long as the elders of the Cardinal Elders Committee were not stupid, they would immediately recall the legendary heavenly knight who exterminated the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire by one strike. Last night, that mysterious heavenly knight launched another strike in the Summer Palace. That person might have long predicted that Sacred Light Empire would launch another strike; therefore, that heavenly knight was waiting for that sacred light chief priest of Sacred Light Empire to fall into the trap. That explained why Zhang Tie could come back safe and sound …
The power of a heavenly knight was unimaginable for a black iron knight. This might also explain why Zhang Tie had disappeared the moment he launched a strike that day.
All the elders of the Cardinal Elders Committee thought that they had found the answer. Only Pontiff Sarlin threw a glance at Zhang Tie; however, he was also faintly frowning with a bit dubious look in his eyes. However, he didn't say anything.
"Realm, it must be a bit realm strength mastered by a heavenly knight that could make Ockham disappear in front of us …" The clan head of the mountain bear tribe said loudly as he nodded. As a bumpkin among all the bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness, the clan head of the mountain bear tribe who had always been treated as a bumpkin looked so confident as if he had seen a realm …
"Doesn't that mean that heavenly knight has almost promoted to a semi-sage knight …" The clan head of the fire bear tribe became dumbfounded.
Hearing such discussions and watching the others' looks in the study, Zhang Tie could only tell himself inside, 'I'm not cheating you. I'm telling the truth. However, if you misunderstand it, don't blame me for not being clear in the future …'
…
In less than one day, a piece of news had spread across Saint Petersburg — — the halos chief priest of Sacred Light Empire who invaded the Summer Palace last night had been killed by a heavenly knight who had promoted to a semi-sage knight. That heavenly knight was actually the No. 1 knight of Sacred Iceland Kingdom …
Some people who attended the banquet that night even swore that they had seen that mysterious heavenly knight releasing his realm strength in front of many people and making Ockham, the halos chief priest of Sacred Light Empire and His Majesty disappear in front of everyone.
This rumor had spread over Saint Petersburg on the second day and the entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom on the third day.
Like how Sacred Iceland Kingdom could inquire about the movements of the expeditionary corps of Sacred Light Empire and what major events happened in Sacred Light Empire, Sacred Light Empire also had similar means to know what happened in Sacred Iceland Kingdom. The simplest method was that those merchant fleets from other subcontinents and Western Continent and the offices or diplomatic agencies of many forces in Sacred Iceland Kingdom would pass these valuable intelligence back to Sacred Iceland Kingdom with money.
After hearing this news, Sacred Light Empire was so scared that they almost peed their pants …
After another 2 days, Golden Roc Bank sent a message to Sacred Light Empire that the pope of Sacred Light Empire had already dispatched an envoy to Ice and Snow Wilderness by airboat to negotiate about the dispute between the two countries …
The envoy came to Sacred Light Empire on his own initiative. It meant that Sacred Light Empire wanted to make peace …
