Half an hour later, Zhang Tie walked out of a room in the command of the advanced base alone.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The command center of the advanced base was full of soldiers in military uniforms. Although not all of them were knights, some female soldiers seemed to be serving as civil servants, all of them revealed an admiring look when they saw Zhang Tie.
Half an hour ago, the 20 earth knights who would like to be the scouts of the army held a meeting. Luo Tiancheng, the general commander of Black Armor Army introduced the situation facing the Western Theater of Operations and the subordinates of Taixia Country to them. After that, the 20 earth knights were separated and entered a smaller backroom. After being received by an intelligence officer in the base, they received a military map of the theater of operations which was divided by network and bore in mind a remote-sensing communication code. After that, they received their first task. Then, the meeting came to an end.
When he came to the lobby of the advanced base, Zhang Tie touched a new remote-sensing crystal finger ring which he had just received. Besides the remote-sensing crystal on Xuanyuan Token which could be used to contact this advanced base, each earth knight who had become a scout had also received a special remote-sensing communication finger ring. With this new finger ring, they could directly contact Ye Qingcheng and inform him of important information in emergencies. It was a kind of insurance.
Almost all the knights in the lobby just now had left; however, some knights were still loitering in the lobby.
Elder Muray and Elder Muyu, Bai Suxian and Mountain Lifting Hermit were waiting for Zhang Tie in the lobby.
At the sight of Zhang Tie walking out of the aisle where soldiers were on sentry duty, they had surrounded him at once. The men were fine; however, Bai Suxian's eyes were full of tears. She almost couldn't stand crying.
"I'll stay here for another hour. After half an hour, I will set off. I know what you want to talk about. But it's not a good place to talk about it. Let's talk about it in the airboat!" Zhang Tie had opened his mouth before they opened their mouths.
On the way back to the airboat from the advanced base, Zhang Tie felt that more and more people's eye light fell onto him. Now, the name of Qianji Hermit was more well-known among all the knights in this advanced base. Previously, Qianji Hermit was well-known across the country for his secret methods, immortal bloodline, battle skills and numerous means. Now, Qianji Hermit's reputation was more fearless.
…
Five people squeezed into Zhang Tie's room at once. They didn't even have a place to sit; therefore, they could only stand and talk. However, nobody cared about that at this moment.
"Everyone, don't be so serious. Even if I'm a scout, it's not certain that I'll die. Besides, aren't I still standing here?" Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to lighten up the atmosphere; however, he had not imagined that Mountain Lifting Hermit, Muray and Muyu would not smile at all; instead, they looked more solemn. Bai Suxian even dropped off her tears at once.
"If we want to deepen into the enemy's rear in the theater of operations, it's definitely 10 times more dangerous than entering the first abyss in the Earth-elements Realm..." Mountain Lifting Hermit said with a solemn look.
"Elder Mushen, as the pillar of Huaiyuan Palace and the head of Iron-Dragon Sect, you don't need to take the risk …" Elder Muyu let out a sigh. Elder Muray nodded heavily.
"Do you want me to be a widow before marrying you? You heartless b * stard …" Bai Suxian almost burst into tears.
At the sight of their looks, Zhang Tie rubbed his face as he pointed at his nose and asked them seriously, "Do I look like a fool?"
They didn't say anything and just looked at each other.
Zhang Tie asked again, "Or do you think I've lost my mind or don't want to live anymore?"
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, they changed their expressions as they understood Zhang Tie's meaning.
Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh as he said calmly, "Actually, Elder Muyu's words are not enough. I'm not only the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace and the head of Iron-Dragon Sect, I'm also the son of my parents, the husband of a lot of women, the father of over 10 kids and you, Bai Suxian and the father of your kids in the future. If I die, how sad would my parents be? How could I bear to see so many wives become widows and so many kids lose their fathers at such a young age?" Watching their changing looks, Zhang Tie continued, "Therefore, please believe me, I will not die. The title of Qianji Hermit is not for nothing. No matter how dangerous the situation is, I always have a means to save myself. Additionally, I have a reason to go there. This mission suits me the most. If not Ye Qingcheng, I would even request to fight demons outside this forward base!" "That's right!" Zhang Tie's expression turned solemn as he said, "Therefore, please believe me.
Zhang Tie's words finally convinced them that he didn't want to play a heart-pounding game on the spur of the moment. In the final analysis, Zhang Tie had never disappointed them in any desperate situation. Additionally, Zhang Tie's trump cards were always out of people's expectation.
Bai Suxian's tears stopped at once as she asked, "Are you going to leave in half an hour?"
"Yes!"
"What's your task?"
"In the future, as a scout in the vanguard of this base, I will go to the Helan Mountain Range on the border of Huanzhou Province and Wuzhou Province and snipe and kill demon knights who invade into Huanzhou Province from Wuzhou Province. I will try my best to prevent wing demon knights from crossing Helan Mountain Range and invade into Huanzhou Province. Meanwhile, I have to pay attention to the movements of the vanguard corps of demons in the west of Helan Mountain Range so as to give an early warning to the advanced base …"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, they finally understood why only earth knights could perform such a task. They had to snipe and kill the vanguard demon knights, defend the border of a province and pay attention to the movements of the demon army so as to give an early warning to the rear base. Black iron knights could never meet such a tough challenge. As long as demons dispatched an earth knight, they could wipe out all the black iron knights dispatched here.
Of course, theoretically, earth knights would also be defeated by shadow knights and heavenly knights. However, the number of shadow knights was relatively fewer for humans and demons. These knights were all important figures in the opposite camps. In order to protect low-level knights, only idiots would have high-level knights be vanguards and scouts. In some special cases, the opponent's high-level knight might penetrate deep into the enemy's camp alone; however, from the perspective of war, this was not the norm of war. In most cases, it could be ignored. (To be continued.)
