After Commander Cheng left, now that he had come to the encampment of Fire-Dragon Corps, Zhang Tie made an inspection tour around the encampment of Fire-Dragon Corps and held a meeting with Zhang Su and Liu Xing who were serving as military officers in Fire-Dragon Corps. By the way, he fixed the military supervisor system of Fire-Dragon Corps.
Disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect were definitely different than disciples of other sects. Disciples of other sects usually cultivated on the mountain. They would only leave the mountain to do something in a few days. By contrast, disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect should cultivate in the secular world according to Zhang Tie's request. If there was no holy war, Iron-Dragon Sect might imitate other sects and have their disciples cultivate on the mountain. However, now that the holy war was imminent, it was more necessary for disciples to cultivate in the military and the secular world besides cultivating in the mountain.
Additionally, the earlier they could learn something, the more adaptable they would be in the future.
As Zhang Tie served as the regimental commander of Fire-Dragon Corps, all his disciples who had promoted to LV 9 would hold positions in Fire-Dragon Corps, male or female. Male disciples would directly join the battle troops of Fire-Dragon Corps. Female disciples would also hold positions in the administrative and logistics agencies of Fire-Dragon Corps.
Fire-Dragon Corps was a military unit. Of course, military ranks were important in such a military unit. Besides military ranks, all the fighters in Fire-Dragon Corps were divided into two categories: common fighters and disciples on different levels of Iron-Dragon Sect, including Zhang Tie's personal disciples and many outer disciples.
In some republics or federal countries led by parties, in order to firmly control the army in case of hostile forces or Three-eye Association, there were also political officers who were loyal to parties in the army so as to ensure the loyalty and reliability of the army. In countries such as Sacred Light Empire, pastors or chief pastors on different levels held similar positions in the army so as to ensure that the army of Sacred Light Empire was under the control of Sacred Light Church.
History had proved that this was an effective means for humans to control the army. Therefore, democratic countries and centralized religious countries would almost adopt the same means to control the army. With these experiences, although Zhang Tie had been accompanying his wife and children these days, the military supervisor system of Fire-Dragon Corps had gradually become mature in Zhang Tie's mind.
Some disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect directly served as battle officers; some served as military supervisors. Actually, military supervisors were appointed to ensure the leadership of the army. Similar to political officers in the army of partisan countries and pastors in Sacred Light Empire, they were appointed to ensure the loyalty of the army to Zhang Tie and keep the army in Zhang Tie's hand.
In Zhang Tie's opinion, members of parties, believers of religions and disciples of sects were all interest groups. The only difference was that they had different core interests. Some of the core interests were political pursuits; some were religious beliefs. In the final analysis, all the interest groups pursued different human desires, such as survival, food, freedom from being bullied, money, land, beauties, power, strength, reputation, realization of ideals and self-worth, etc …
In Fire-Dragon Corps, as long as a fighter had excellent performance, he or she could become an outer disciple of Iron-Dragon Sect after being examined. After becoming an outer disciple, he or she would gain certain resources and positions in Iron-Dragon Sect and have a chance to learn more powerful battle skills. Additionally, he or she could serve as a military officer in the corps. In the future, he or she could even become an inner disciple of Iron-Dragon Sect from an outer disciple and be favored by the masters, elders and even the head of the sect.
All the military supervisors in Fire-Dragon Corps were outer disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect starting from the lowest military supervisor.
Military supervisors were appointed from the company-level combat units of Fire-Dragon Army. The lowest level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor; the higher level was military supervisor.
In the conference, Liu Xing proposed the military supervisor system. In order to avoid the scramble for power between the military supervisor and the chief officers on various levels, Liu Xing and the others proposed to form a clear military regulation about the functions and responsibilities of the military supervisor so that everyone could know the content of the military supervisor system. Everyone discussed for two hours. They pooled their brains and pooled their efforts to fill in the gaps. In total, they came up with almost a hundred relatively practical opinions and suggestions.
Zhang Tie had people sort out the contents of this conference before sending them to him for a review. If there was no problem, these contents would be issued as the "Regulations on Military Supervisor Work" of Fire-Dragon Corps.
After confirming the framework of the military supervisor system, Zhang Tie didn't care about it anymore; instead, he left the affairs of Fire-Dragon Corps to Zhang Su. After leaving some words to Zhang Su, Zhang Tie flew back to the manor on the bank of Cloud-washing Lake over 60 miles away in the south of Xuantian City before the dark.
This manor covered a large area. Being on the bank of the lake, the villas and courtyards were connected with each other in an antique manner. There was even a landing field for airboats and airships. Obviously, it was a manor of a major clan. Previously, this manor was built by the prefectural governor of Gaoping Prefecture in Yanzhou Province for the officials of Gaoping Prefecture in summer. Pitifully, this manor had just been built and had not been occupied yet. Before some finishing works were completed, this manor had become the territory of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. In Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, all the official assets of Taixia Country had been transferred to Zhang Tie.
This manor was not too far away from Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks. Zhang Tie had not lived here before. Not until Donder came to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and started to count Zhang Tie's assets did Zhang Tie know that he had such a manor on the bank of Cloud-washing Lake.
There were many manors and villas of major clans on the bank of Cloud-washing Lake. This manor was not far away from Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks. It was in the largest basin around Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks. Additionally, it was in the central region of 10 cities in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. It was very convenient for Miyun Prefecture in Youzhou Province, Gaoping Prefecture in Yanzhou Province or Xingyuan Prefecture in Tongzhou Province from here. After the highway that Zhang Tie had people build was built, it would only take him 2 hours to drive to Xuantian City and Grand Mall.
Before arriving at the Sacred Iceland Kingdom, Zhang Tie had Lu Yishan decorate this manor once again so as to welcome its new owner.
After O'Laura and the other wives of Zhang Tie returned to Taixia Country, this manor became their temporary residence. Zhang Tie knew that O'Laura and the other wives of Taixia Country must not be used to living in Jinwu City. Therefore, Zhang Tie only stayed in Jinwu City for 3 days with them so as to get acquainted with his dad, mom, elder brother, sister-in-law, Linda and the other wives of Taixia Country. After that, Zhang Tie took them to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory together with Linda and the other wives of Taixia Country.
It was the first time for Zhang Tie's family members to reunite with Zhang Chenglei and the other wives of Zhang Tie in Heavens Fortune Sect.
These days, Zhang Tie accompanied O'Laura and the other wives of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory by airboat every day. They traveled across the entire Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory by airboat.
It was Zhang Tie's most relaxed days. During this period, besides showing them around Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks, Zhang Tie didn't even return to Iron-Dragon Sect.
When Zhang Tie returned to the manor, he found O'Laura and the other wives were waiting for him to have supper together.
The moment he entered the main room, Zhang Tie had seen over 10 women chatting with each other. Some kids were playing with toys and games in a dollhouse on one side.
"Papa, papa, I also want to learn to fly; I also want to learn to fly..."
The moment Zhang Tie came back, those kids had noticed him. Closely after that, they surrounded Zhang Tie as they looked up at him with smiles while jumping and shouting.
"Hahaha, when you grow up, I will teach you how to fly step by step, how about that?" Zhang Tie touched those kids' heads.
"Great..." Those kids became thrilled. In their eyes, their father was omnipotent.
O'Laura and the other wives also walked over here with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Tie asked Olina.
Olina shook her head with a smile. After exchanging a glance with each other, Beverly said in a mysterious way, "I will tell you in the evening..."
"So mysterious? Keep it a secret from me?"
"Of course!" Belle revealed an enchanting smile.
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he waved his hand, "Fine, let's have supper first. After wandering with Commander Cheng for a long while, I'm really hungry..."
There were two tables in the dining room, each table could hold over 10 people. Zhang Tie, O'Laura and the other wives sat at one table while Zhang Tie's kids sat at the other table. The atmosphere in the dining room was harmonious and cheerful.
Sitting in the dining room and watching over his 10 wives and 10 cute kids, Zhang Tie felt like being the head of a family, a real man.
It was a bizarre sense of achievement, which made Zhang Tie feel warm, satisfied, happy and responsible. Watching those beautiful and lovely smiling faces in front of him, Zhang Tie suddenly recalled the tender smile of his dad when he was young in Blackhot City when his dad came back from work and pushed open the door to see him and his elder brother.
At that time, no matter how tired his dad was, when he came home and saw his two kids and his mom, his eyes would always shine brightly. Additionally, no matter how tired he was on the first day, his dad would always get up the earliest on the second day. His dad was always conscientious about his work and never complained about it.
At that time, Zhang Tie could only see his dad for a short period from dinner to before going to bed. In many cases, if his dad worked overtime continuously, Zhang Tie would not see his dad for a long time. Because his dad would only come back home after Zhang Tie went to bed. However, before Zhang Tie got up, his dad had already got up early and went to the factory.
Previously, Zhang Tie always thought that his dad liked his job very much because his dad's serious attitude towards his job could not be seen by anyone else.
At that time, Zhang Tie didn't understand it; however, he suddenly understood it now. When his father was in Blackhot City, he always went out early and came back late every day not for that job, but for this family. The more that man loved this family, the more serious he would be about that job. The salary of over 10 gold coins per year was the hope and reliance of this family to survive in Blackhot City. It was the clothes, food and shelter of Zhang Tie and his elder brother. Zhang Tie and his elder brother could walk on the streets of Blackhot City decently without being bashful and self-abased …
Therefore, even if the wrinkles on that man's face increased, even if his hair started to turn white, and his once tall and straight body was slowly becoming bloated, he never once complained that his work was tiring, that his work was hard …
Only when a son became a man and a father could he understand the feelings of a man and a father. However, a real man had two chances to be the idol and role model of his children, one when his children were young, the other when his children established a family and became a father.
Zhang Tie's hand which was holding the chopsticks froze in the air as his eyes turned a bit red...
"What's wrong?" All the women at the table stopped at this moment as they turned around and watched Zhang Tie.
"Nothing!" Zhang Tie revealed a smile as his red eyes turned normal at once. He then changed the topic, "Don't you want to know why Commander Cheng wants to see me today?"
Since he returned to the manor, Zhang Tie had been talking with O'Laura and the other women in Hua language. Hua language was the language of the upper class and nobles outside Taixia Country. Among those women from Ice and Snow Wilderness, the six women of Spencer Clan had been learning Hua language since they were young. After Olina developed Navyblue Castle Business Group, she had also been learning Hua language. As the princess of wild bear tribe, Sabrina had been learning Hua language since she was young.
Only O'Laura started to learn Hua language after becoming the queen of Sacred Iceland Kingdom. However, over these years, O'Laura could speak Hua language fluently. She could read and write Hua language; especially after Zhang Tie returned to Taixia Country, all of them had made great progress in Hua language and adapted to the life in Taixia Country. Like now, O'Laura and the other women had adapted to using chopsticks instead of knives and forks at the table. Of course, they knew the status of Commander Cheng in Taixia Country.
"Commander Cheng has something to ask of you instead of saying that he wants to see you!" Olina said with a smile.
"Firstly, it should be related to Fiery Oil!" Sabrina said.
"All the provinces in Taixia Country are suffering from a grain shortage. Our Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory is outstanding. We've gained a bumper harvest this summer. Therefore, we should talk about grains too!" O 'Laura said with an affirmative tone.
"Although husband has a big business, he also has a lot of wives and kids to feed. I'm sure that he would not allow Commander Cheng to take away our belongings for nothing!" The women of Spencer Clan giggled while covering their mouths.
Zhang Tie was dumbfounded. These women just stayed at home; however, they could almost guess what they were going to discuss with Commander Cheng. Not until then did Zhang Tie realize that he had been underestimating them all the time. Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh as he looked up at the sky, "You could really be my cabinet of wives..."
"Ahh, you've guessed it?" Fiona suddenly widely opened her eyes as she watched Zhang Tie with an amazed look.
"Guessed it, guessed what?"
"You've guessed what we're talking about …" Fiona, who had never been scheming, immediately solved the mystery at the dinner table.
"Do you really want to be my cabinet of wives?" Zhang Tie was startled.
"These days, our elder sisters are discussing that you've got a big business. Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory covers over 6 million square miles and has 10 cities. Now that you've developed Fiery Oil, which shocked the world, now that you couldn't manage all of them and Donder couldn't manage many places by himself, our elder sisters would like to help you manage the affairs in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory so that you don't need to worry about the business and chores in your territory anymore!" Beverly opened her mouth too.
Watching these women sitting in a circle around the table, Zhang Tie suddenly patted his head forcefully. These days, he was worried about having no capable and trustworthy helpers on his side; however, he forgot that these women on his side could actually help him a lot.
As Olina could develop Navyblue Castle Business Group into one of the top business groups across Ewentra Archipelago, she was definitely a strong woman in terms of talent, insight and means. At least so far, Zhang Tie had not seen a woman who could match Olina in the business circle.
Growing up in the wild bear tribe, Sabrina's insight and insight could never be matched by common women. After fighting with old wild bear Dali in Ice and Snow Wilderness for so many years and keeping all the men in Ice and Snow Wilderness in the dark, of course, Sabrina was not a common woman.
Not to mention O'Laura, as the clan head of grey eagle tribe since she was young, she could support the grey eagle tribe to avoid being annexed by Zhang Tie and reach such a high level in cultivation. This woman's intelligence, diligence and perseverance were definitely top. Additionally, after living in Saint Petersburg for so many years as the queen of Sacred Iceland Kingdom, O'Laura's ability to control power and subordinates gradually deepened. She could definitely take charge of an important task by herself.
When in Ice and Snow Wilderness, O'Laura and Olina didn't get along well with each other. The two women were a bit awkward and cold to each other. However, after coming to Taixia Country, the two women had resolved their former animosity and formed a close alliance with each other. As a result, the relationship between them improved at once...
In Ice and Snow Wilderness, O'Laura and Olina didn't get along well with each other. The two women were a bit awkward and cold to each other. However, after coming to Taixia Country, in the new environment, the two women had resolved the former animosity and formed a close alliance with each other. Therefore, the relationship between them and Zhang Tie improved at once...
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Although Linda, Beverly and Fiona couldn't match Olina's experience and insight, they also had their own advantages. Firstly, they were smart. They were not stupid. As long as they were taught, they would definitely do their best. Secondly, they were tenacious and meticulous; especially Linda. Although she was gentle, Linda's tenacity and meticulousness were her unique attraction. Thirdly, their relationship with Zhang Tie and their standpoint towards Zhang Tie. It could be said that they would never betray Zhang Tie and were the most trustworthy ones in the world.
Aimei and Aixue were smart and had clean backgrounds. They had promoted to LV 6 fighters at a young age and mastered battle qis of water and wood attributes at the same time. Over these years, they had been diligent and had both promoted to LV 8. As long as there was a chance, Aimei and Aixue were definitely the most malleable ones.
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he said, "There's a Hua proverb — — we don't know the real face of Mount Lushan because we're in this mountain. As I've been intimate with you every day, I almost forgot that all of you are capable enough to be my good wives and help me manage many affairs in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory well. As the old saying goes, a harmonious family and everything will prosper. I'm really lucky to have you … "
"Ahh, you agree?" Fiona asked out of surprise.
"Of course I agree. I think that all of you can help me manage the Master Cabinet first. Starting from the Master Cabinet, I'll set up the framework of the Madam's Cabinet. With all of you managing the Master Cabinet, I won't have to worry too much …"
...
On the same evening, after a few hours of pleasurable "beating", all the women were lying lazily on the huge bed in Zhang Tie's huge bedroom. Many of them were still in a semi-comatose state. Zhang Tie sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. Through the moonlight through the window, he watched those beautiful naked bodies which shone like ivory in front of him as he became quiet all over...
Commander Cheng's visit to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory was an opportunity for Zhang Tie. However, it also meant that the overall situation facing Taixia Country was deteriorating. Even Commander Cheng felt a strong sense of crisis. The crises that Taixia Country had accumulated in the past were breaking out in a concentrated manner while the rest of the world was becoming more and more turbulent...
These days, Zhang Tie just stayed with his wives and kids, laughing and playing as much as he wanted to make up for what he owed them. He didn't want to think about the outside world. Because Zhang Tie didn't know whether he could continue to stay with his family members as a well-known knight in Taixia Country if demons really appeared in Taixia Country.
However, there were some things that wouldn't happen just because you didn't think about it. You could escape from it.
The foundation of Iron-Dragon Sect was to enable commoners to fight demons with the help of steel and fiery oil. If demons really arrived, numerous commoners would face the same miserable fate as those commoners in Waii Sub-continent. Could Zhang Tie stay here and watch them die?
Zhang Tie didn't care about his reputation; because he didn't want to pursue anything. However, Zhang Tie couldn't overcome his conscience.
If you killed a LV 9 demon fighter, you might save 100 commoners. As an earth knight whose battle strength could match that of a shadow knight and a human fighter who could easily kill hundreds of LV 9 demon fighters in a battle, how could you sit in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and watch hundreds of millions of people die miserably with your wives and kids? Would you not do anything until demons arrived at Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory?
Zhang Tie couldn't.
Some people were born with their personalities; some people were born to not tolerate something; some people were born to do something. Since he was born in the civilian area of Blackhot City and lived among commoners in Blackhot City for 16 years, Zhang Tie felt that part of his genes had been fixed and could not be relieved in his life.
"What are you thinking about …" Olina didn't pass out; instead, she woke up after the aftertaste. Because Zhang Tie had already sat up. Olina's hair was disheveled while her body was covered with fine sweat. Her skin under the sweat was giving out a rosy luster. Her skin which was hot just now felt a bit cold now. Because Zhang Tie was sitting against the headboard while Olina's head was resting on Zhang Tie's thigh.
"Nothing..." Zhang Tie pulled a thin quilt over and covered Olina's smooth and beautiful back. Additionally, he tidied up her hair and exposed her face...
"You're thinking about leaving us again, aren't you?" Olina whispered.
After hearing Olina's words, Zhang Tie became a bit sluggish as he asked, "Have you guessed it?"
"If I didn't guess it, why would everyone be so crazy tonight? You've been by our side all these days. Didn't you want to give us as much company as possible before you leave us?"
Zhang Tie revealed a self-deprecating smile, 'It turns out that all the women on my side have sensed it. Won't you blame me? "
"As your woman, my love for you is to let you live with a clear conscience!" Olina closed her eyes as she mumbled. It seemed that she wanted to fall asleep as she put her arms around Zhang Tie's waist.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was deeply moved once again.
"Sometimes, I really want to take you to a place where nobody could find us. It's my dream to live with you when I was young!"
"This is the holy war. We couldn't avoid it no matter in Ice and Snow Wilderness, Eastern Continent or Western Continent. As long as I could stay on your side, I would have no regret even if we face the destruction of the entire world together. What you're doing now is to give Alexander and the others a promising future. We all support you. Go to sleep..."
After Olina fell asleep, Zhang Tie became spirited.
Yes, apart from the things that he was destined to do, what he was doing now, or what he was about to do, was to give his children a hopeful future, and to give more people's children a hopeful future …
Nobody could stand in my way, not the Gobbling Party, not the Three-eye Association, not the Heavens Reaching Church and not demons! '
A wisp of firm light rose from Zhang Tie's eyes... (To be continued)
