"We've arrived at Yanzhou City. You will head for the west border of Taixia Country together with all the knights in Northeast Military Region. Zhang Taixuan wishes you could defeat demons and protect Taixia Country and come back safely as soon as possible. When you come back, I will hold a banquet to celebrate your meritorious deeds!"
The moment Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he had seen Zhang Taixuan reappearing in the lobby of the airboat and talking with the others. After saying that, Zhang Taixuan bowed deeply towards the others.
The hatch door of the airboat had been opened. All the knights from Youzhou Province started to get off the airboat one after another. Standing on one side of the hatch door, Zhang Taixuan crossed his hands and saw them off the airboat respectfully.
Zhang Tie also stood up and followed Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian out of the airboat. When he passed by Zhang Taixuan, he stopped for a second.
'I've not heard about Lan Yunxi for a long time. I wonder how's Lan Yunxi now? Has she become the saintess of Yaogong Palace of Taiyi Fantasy Sect?' 'Will Lan Yunxi appear on the battlefield in the west border of Taixia Country?'
Not until he couldn't see Lan Yunxi did Zhang Tie realize that he had forgotten the most important remote-sensing communication device which could keep in touch with Lan Yunxi in the paladin necklace that he had left for Lan Yunxi.
Sometimes, when one missed a person for too long, he would get used to it. When that person stood in front of him, he would even forget how to catch her.
Zhang Tie couldn't stand asking Zhang Taixuan about Lan Yunxi; however, the moment he uttered those words, he became — —
"After I … leave Youzhou Province, please take care of me, clan head of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and Jinwu City!"
After throwing a deep glance at Zhang Tie, Zhang Taixuan revealed a faint smile, "Don't worry, Elder Mushen!"
After a brief talk, Zhang Tie got off the airboat.
Not knowing why, Zhang Tie always felt that there was a barrier between the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace and him. Therefore, he could not be too intimate with him. Zhang Tie felt utterly different than that of the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace.
'Is it because Zhang Taixuan is Lan Yunxi's father and I feel nervous like a kid meeting his father-in-law?' 'Or is it because Zhang Taixuan is the clan head who is profound and unapproachable?' 'Zhang Tie doesn't know …'
When he got off the airboat, Zhang Tie had forgotten about those distracting thoughts. In the sunset, a huge camp appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
This military camp wasn't located within Yanzhou City, but outside of Yanzhou City. It was also considered to be under Yanzhou City's jurisdiction. The military camp was around thirty kilometers away from Yanzhou City, on a hillside outside of Yanzhou City. Standing in the military camp, one could see the tall and majestic walls of Yanzhou City in the distance, illuminated by the setting sun in a crimson color.
Yanzhou City was the provincial city of Yanzhou Province and the hub of Northeast Military Region. Although Yanzhou City was a Class A city, it was much larger than Youzhou City. A Class A city like Yanzhou City which had been developed for hundreds of years could never be matched by Youzhou City which had just been built.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Outside Youzhou City, Zhang Tie could see many open wild lands; however, outside Yanzhou City, Zhang Tie could only see various buildings. The population density around Yanzhou City was definitely dozens of times higher than that of Youzhou City.
Airboats constantly took off and landed on the training field which covered over 10 miles. Each time an airboat landed, someone would get off the airboat.
The airboat that Zhang Tie got off was one of them.
Those who got off the flying boat were all arrogant knights dressed in different attires with powerful auras.
Needless to say, Zhang Tie knew that these knights came here for Xuanyuan command like him.
The moment he got off the airboat, Zhang Tie had sensed the intense atmosphere in the entire military camp.
…
"Knights arriving from Youzhou Province, gather in the blue zone on the training field … knights arriving from Youzhou Province, gather in the blue zone on the training field …"
…
"Knights arriving from Mozhou Province, gather in the black zone on the training field … knights arriving from Mozhou Province, gather in the black zone on the training field …"
…
"Knights arriving from Chaozhou Province, gather in the black zone on the training field … knights arriving from Chaozhou Province, gather in the black zone on the training field …"
…
The moment Zhang Tie got off the airboat, he had heard a loud voice. Raising his head, Zhang Tie saw a knight in battle armor who was releasing his powerful qi in the air above the military camp. Like a huge humanoid loudspeaker, he was constantly repeating those monotonous instructions in a dignified voice.
Mountain Lifting Hermit raised his head as his pupils shrunk, "Shadow knight …"
"If he's not a shadow knight, how could he control the situation?"
"You're right!" Mountain Lifting Hermit nodded.
"This knight is a major commander of Black Armor Army …" Bai Suxian said in a low voice.
"How do you know that?"
"The battle armors of major commanders of Black Armor Army all have some distinctive features. I've seen them in the lord's mansion!"
After throwing a glance at the shadow knight in the sky, Zhang Tie nodded, "Let's go, let's go to the assembly area first …"
Previously, Zhang Tie might feel awe-inspiring at the sight of a shadow knight; however, after defeating a shadow knight in Ice and Snow Wilderness, although this shadow knight was still powerful in Zhang Tie's mind, he couldn't feel awe-inspiring anymore. Zhang Tie didn't look up at the shadow knight anymore; instead, he looked at the shadow knight on the same level.
After watching those knights with different temperaments and personalities getting off the airboat, all of them had been shocked by that shadow knight who acted as a humanoid loudspeaker above the military camp. Hearing that voice, they all walked to the assembly area of knights from different provinces.
The 43 knights from Youzhou Province also walked towards the assembly area of the training field. Only after a short while, they had arrived at the corresponding location of the assembly area.
It was a drill ground in the military camp. On the opposite of the drill ground was a rostrum. The ground of the drill ground had been divided into 8 regions with different colors. Each region had an eye-catching color which could be easily identified. The 8 colors were red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple and black respectively. The 8 colors corresponded to the 8 provinces in Northeast Military Region, namely Youzhou Province, Gaozhou Province, Mozhou Province, Tongzhou Province, Qiongzhou Province, Yanzhou Province, Huizhou Province and Chaozhou Province. After getting off the airboat, the knights gathered in different regions of the drill ground.
Not until then did Zhang Tie realize that there were so few knights from Youzhou Province. Each region of different color on the drill ground covered dozens of square meters, which could easily gather thousands of people. The other regions were all crowded with at least 1,000 knights and 300-400 knights. Only in the region of Youzhou Province, 43 knights were standing in the blue region in the drill ground alone, which formed a sharp contrast with the number of knights in the other regions on the drill ground …
