'Clan head?'
It was Zhang Tie's first time to see the clan head. He had to admit that the clan head's qi field shocked Zhang Tie.
'A clan could have over 200 knights in response to the Xuanyuan command. What a powerful clan!'
"What's the relationship between Mozhou Province and Mo clan of Fraternity Palace?" Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian in a secret way.
As Bai Suxian grew up in Lord Guangnan's Mansion, she was imperceptibly influenced by what she saw and heard. Therefore, Zhang Tie had a consultant on his side. "Before Mozhou Province was established, Mo clan of Fraternity Palace had already rooted in Mozhou Province and had a great influence.
"Before Mozhou Province was established, Mo Clan of Fraternity Palace had already rooted in Mozhou Province and had a great influence. When Mozhou Province was established, Mo Clan of Fraternity Palace already had a very great influence in Mozhou Province. Mo Clan of Fraternity Palace is a clan, the clan of Mo surnamed Mo in Taixia Country and a sect. The ideological core of Mo Sect originates from ancient sages in Taixia Country. One of the most important reasons why Mozhou Province is named Mozhou Province is the existence of Mo Sect and Mo Clan. Over the past hundreds of years, there have been at least 10 provincial governors of Mo Clan in Mozhou Province. Even two clan heads of Mo Clan used to be the commander-in-chief of Northeast Military Region. Although Mo Sect of Mo Clan is not as eye-catching as the top 7 sects in Taixia Country, we could never underestimate it …"
"How does Mo Sect compare to the Gobbling Party?"
"Mo Sect might not be as influential as the Gobbling Party in Taixia Country; however, Mo Sect is definitely more united and cohesive than the Gobbling Party. Even the top 7 sects couldn't be as united as Mo Sect. Across Taixia Country, only Mo clan of Fraternity Palace of Mozhou Province could be a clan, a sect and an ancestor!"
"The Mo Clan has too many Knights!"
Bai Suxian threw a glance at Zhang Tie with a faint smile, "Do you know what's the requirement for the descendants of Mo clan of Fraternity Palace to become knights?"
"What's the requirement?"
"All the descendants of Mo clan should at least give birth to 100 babies for Mo clan. If not, they would be severely punished in Mo clan. Those who give birth to more babies would be rewarded. Common clansmen of Mo clan are also proud of giving birth to more babies!"
'At least 100? Or family rule? ' Hearing this, Zhang Tie's eyes almost popped out. "That's too exaggerated! It's still fine for Knights to have so many children, but how can the ordinary Mo Clan members support them? "
"Look at the knights from Mo Gate. Do you still think it's exaggerated? Additionally, Mo clan has the most skillful craftsmen. Mo clan is famous across the world for making wares. Mo clan is also famous in Taixia Country. Additionally, Mo clan advocates thrift. It's said that knights of Mo clan always wear plain clothes and straw sandals. Even my father said that Mo clan of Fraternity Palace is the simplest and strictest among all the major clans in Taixia Country … "
Zhang Tie understood it at once. Although this rule of Mo clan looked rigid, if it could be strictly implemented for hundreds of years, Mo clan and Mo sect's power would reach a terrifying level. From a certain perspective, reproduction was combat, and having more people was power. A race with more children would have an advantage over a race with fewer children, and a family with more children would also have an advantage over a family with fewer children. This advantage seemed plain and simple, and the initial advantage might not even be very obvious. It was just a difference in numbers, but when the numbers reached a certain level, at a certain time, this advantage would be decisive.
Of course, it was not difficult for a clan that could make money and advocate thrift to support a lot of children.
As Zhang Tie thought about it, he couldn't help but throw a glance at the team of Mo clan of Fraternity Palace. The moment Zhang Tie looked at them, he had seen a pair of eyes.
It was a shadow knight of Mo clan who was looking at Zhang Tie.
It was an old man with a clumsy look. When the two people's eyes met, they became slightly shocked. However, Zhang Tie felt that the old man of Mo clan didn't have any malicious intent towards him. Therefore, Zhang Tie slightly nodded towards the shadow knight of Mo clan. The elder of Mo clan also revealed a smile as he nodded towards Zhang Tie.
Soon after the knights of Mo clan arrived, they pulled some more airboats and got off some batches of knights. However, they didn't see any more airboats for 10 minutes.
Zhang Tie thought, 'Perhaps all the knights in Northeast Military Region are in front of me.'
Soon after this whim flashed across Zhang Tie's mind, five black airboats which were longer than 1,000 m had flown over here from the north with strong killing qi. They directly suspended above this military camp. When the airboats arrived, some people had shot off the airboats like rainbows. In the blink of an eye, 5 people had been standing on the rostrum.
The one in the middle of the 5 people was an old man with snow-white eyebrows and chilly eyes. The moment he stood on the rostrum, Zhang Tie had felt that there was a mountain peak being composed of long swords in front of him, which was sharp and oppressive. Zhang Tie could barely look at it. The moment the old man threw a glance at Zhang Tie, he felt that tens of thousands of sword qi had swept over the drill ground. At the same time, the long swords of some knights in the drill ground jumped out of their sheaths and hummed, causing numerous knights to change their faces greatly. The entire drill ground was filled with sword hums …
'What realm is he in?' Zhang Tie was also startled. This old man's qi was like that of a king of swords. In front of this old man, Zhang Tie felt that his cultivation base of sword sage was absolutely a joke. Who dared say that he was a sword sage in front of this old man …
At this moment, the shadow knight in the sky was also standing on the rostrum on the side of that old man. Meanwhile, Commander Cheng of Northeast Military Region and two new knights were on the side of that old man.
"I'm Ye Qingcheng …" The old man opened his mouth with a bizarre rhythm of metal clangs. The moment he opened his mouth, the sword hums across the drill ground had stopped at once. By contrast, the knights were in an uproar as if this name was magical.
"He's the former commander of Black Armor Army. He has retired after the last holy war. He's the Class 1 Pillar General of Taixia Country …" Bai Suxian's voice sounded in Zhang Tie's ears.
Undoubtedly, this old man was a heavenly knight.
"Over 10 years ago, this old man was entrusted by Emperor Xuanyuan to come to Yanzhou City. As long as Taixia Country was invaded by demons on a large scale and started to summon knights to resist demons, this old man would be responsible for commanding the army of knights across Northeast Military Region. This is the Xuanyuan tiger-shaped amulet that Emperor Xuanyuan granted this old man to control the army of knights within Northeast Military Region!" As the old man said this, a 30 cm long shiny tiger-shaped tally appeared in his hand. The old man loosened his hand while the tiger-shaped tally floated on his side, giving out a yellow luster. In the luster, an image of a fierce tiger appeared like a battle qi totem. The fierce tiger raised its head and roared towards the sky. The dignified roar drifted from the tiger-shaped tally, which could be heard by everyone at present. Closely after that, the image of the fierce tiger entered the tiger-shaped Xuanyuan tally.
Zhang Tie also gazed at the tiger-shaped tally as he found that Ye Qingcheng was not controlling it with his spiritual energy as a divine dominator, but a looming sword qi around him. At this moment, the sword qi became as smooth as water and supported the tiger-shaped tally in the air. Evidently, this tiger-shaped tally was a special rune item …
The tiger-shaped Xuanyuan Token gifted by Emperor Xuanyuan was Ye Qingcheng's authoritative weapon. Without the approval of Emperor Xuanyuan and the qualification of a heavenly knight, who else could command over 10,000 knights from the Protectorate General's Manor? At the sight of Ye Qingcheng's tiger-shaped tally, all the knights on the drill ground had acknowledged Ye Qingcheng's identity and power.
"As you could come here at the order of Xuanyuan, you're all loyal to Taixia Country. As you're going to fight for the country in the west border, please accept this old man's bow!" Ye Qingcheng directly bowed towards all the others on the rostrum.
Many knights on the drill ground dared not accept such a high salute. Therefore, they all bowed back to Zhang Tie.
Even though you're knights, you have to follow orders. From now on, there are no clan heads, elders or masters on the drill ground; instead, there are only soldiers of Taixia Country who have answered the order of Xuanyuan. Soldiers have to abide by military rules and marching laws. In case that this old man doesn't warn you, there are altogether 17 military rules that all the knights have to follow. Anyone who violates them will be beheaded by this old man regardless of their clan or sect, noble or humble. Hope you'll bear that in mind! "

After hearing the 17 military rules, Zhang Tie's heart raced as he dared not neglect them.
Ye Qingcheng stood on the platform and waved his hand after explaining the military rules. Countless light dots flew out from his hand. They were tokens that shot towards the knights on the drill ground, one for each of them.
Watching the light spots flying towards them, all the knights stretched out their hands and caught the token.
After catching the token, Zhang Tie found it was yellow and icy. It was neither made of gold nor jade. There was a remote-sensing crystal on the token, which was a pattern of a dragon and a tiger fighting each other. On the top of the token, there were three ancient Hua characters "Xuanyuan Order". Below the three characters, there was a line of words "No. 136 Earth Knight of Northeast Military Region". Below that, there was a line of smaller words "No. 76 Fantasy Cabin of Black Dragon Airboat!"
"How about yours?" Zhang Tie looked at the tokens of Fire Dragon Hermit, Bai Suxian, Elder Muray and Elder Muyu.
At the same time, they showed their tokens to Zhang Tie.
Everyone's token was the same. The only difference was the serial number on the token and the cabin number.
Mountain Lifting Hermit's and Zhang Tie's cabins were close to each other, which were "Fantasy Cabin No. 77 Black Dragon Airboat". By contrast, Bai Suxian and the two elders of Huaiyuan Palace were in the yellow cabins of Black Dragon Airboat …
The two elders of Huaiyuan Palace didn't care about it; however, when Bai Suxian found that her cabin was a bit far away from Zhang Tie's, she pouted at once as she looked a bit unhappy …
After throwing a glance at the token, Zhang Tie looked up at those grim airboats in the sky. There were two words "Black Dragon Airboat" on the outside of one of the airboats.
"As you've already known the military rules, you've already received the Xuanyuan Order token. As soon as you board the airboat according to your plate number, we will set out for the battle …"
Closely after saying that, Ye Qingcheng had flown off towards the sky, followed by the other knights on his side, except for Cheng Honglie, the commander of the army.
The knights on the Drill Ground also flew up into the sky like a group of meteors, densely packed together...
"Let's go!" Zhang Tie called out as he flew off too …
"Come back alive …" The moment he entered the sky, a voice had entered Zhang Tie's ears. Zhang Tie looked around and found Commander Cheng was watching him as he told Zhang Tie in a secret way. Zhang Tie nodded as he entered the Black Dragon Airboat with Bai Suxian, Mountain Lifting Hermit and the two elders of Huaiyuan Palace …
Only after 2 minutes, as the last knight entered the airboat, the other huge airboats flew towards the west …
