During the 2 months when Zhang Tie was in secluded cultivation, the battle situation in the Western Theater of Operations of Taixia Country didn't stop; instead, it became fiercer. Many provinces were reduced to battlefields. Taixia Country and demons were like two heavyweight boxing champions on the stage. After tentative attack and defense in the early stage, the two overlords in the ring started to release greater offensive and destructive power. Even though Taixia Country was purely in defense, it was not completely passive …
Over the past 2 months, the 11 advanced bases and air battle fortresses of Taixia Country had already advanced to the west of Helan Mountain Range and the north of Weishui River. They had entered Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province, completely stabilizing the evacuation tunnels of soldiers and civilians in Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province. Additionally, 1 month ago, the 11 advanced bases had coordinated with each other and suddenly advanced over 5,000 miles in one day. They suddenly broke into the frontline battlefield of the three provinces where demons were attacking fiercely. With the coordination of over 100,000 knights of Taixia Country, the 11 advanced bases inflicted heavy losses to the vanguard of wing demons like 11 giant air bulldozers. It was said that at least 3 shadow wing demon knights were killed and thousands of other wing demon knights were killed. The 11 advanced bases even recovered some cities which had been occupied by the vanguard of demons. As a result, demons' ferocious offensive in Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province was shattered at once.
It was the first good news that Taixia Country got on the battlefield since the start of the war with demons in Peacewest Military Region of Taixia Country when they constantly lost their troops and land.
Although the 11 advanced bases of Taixia Country didn't completely curb the momentum of demons' attack on Taixia Country, it was still of great strategic significance. This small victory not only boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of Taixia Country which had been low since the beginning of the holy war, but also won over 1 month for those soldiers and civilians in the three provinces who had not evacuated yet.
After this assault, the 11 advanced bases of Taixia Country gradually retreated orderly. In the process of retreating, they even set ambushes and wiped out some small and medium-sized wing demon knights. Behind the 11 advanced bases, Taixia Country organized over 10,000 airboats and hundreds of thousands of airships to accelerate the evacuation of the soldiers and civilians in Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province. At the same time, they strengthened the defense and cleared the wilderness, catching demons unprepared.
After suffering a great loss and some small losses, the vanguard of demons didn't advance aggressively anymore; instead, they became meticulous. After the civilians evacuated, the armies in the three provinces also retreated orderly. As a result, there was a vacuum zone as wide as 600 miles between the two parties, which was composed of numerous abandoned cities, towns and villages within the three provinces. In the west of this vacuum zone, the demon army was advancing; in the east of this vacuum zone, the army of Taixia Country was retreating.
Over the past 1 month, the frontline was relatively tranquil on the battlefields. Demons advanced while Taixia Country retreated. During this period, although there were battles and conflicts between the two parties every day, no battle involving over 100 human knights had broken out. However, some wing demon knights were still penetrating towards Taixia Country through that vacuum zone in a small scale. Many human knight powerhouses were ambushing in cities or woods in that vacuum zone and killing those demon knights who were penetrating towards Taixia Country over the past 1 month.
Such a battle that Zhang Tie encountered in Xiangshan City today was a relatively fierce battle between human knights and demon knights in Wuzhou Province over the past 1 month.
Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province had almost been evacuated. Those who were still there were very few people who didn't want to leave and those civilians who were trapped in the area occupied by demons.
The highest commander-in-chief of the entire Western Theater of Operations was Zuoqiu Mingyue, the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country who was called the Military God.
Zuoqiu Mingyue was called the Military God of Taixia Country. He had been the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country for over 100 years. In the 2nd holy war, Zuoqiu Mingyue, who had promoted to a heavenly knight, was one of the pillar generals of Taixia Country. He commanded the army of Taixia Country to fight demons and killed a heavenly demon knight. This time, Zuoqiu Mingyue was assigned to the Western Theater of Operations from Xuanyuan Hill as one of the top three chancellors of Taixia Country. As expected, the overall situation was stabilized in only a few months. Zuoqiu Mingyue's popularity and battle strength were unrivaled in the Western Theater of Operations.
It was even said that Zuoqiu Mingyue might have long broken through a heavenly knight and promoted to a sage-level knight over the past 100-odd years. If Zuoqiu Mingyue, one of the top three chancellors of Taixia Country was still alive, Han Zhengfang could never escape out of Xuanyuan Hill.
Due to the arrival of the Military God of Taixia Country, the morale of the entire Western Theater of Operations was evidently different than that 2 months ago.
Not only Zuoqiu Mingyue, but also the teams of the top 7 sects of Taixia Country had also arrived at the Western Theater of Operations and participated in the raid on the 5,000 miles forward base of Taixia Country over 1 month ago.
These were the changes that Zhang Tie learned in Xiangshan City in the past 2 months.
After learning about these, Zhang Tie contacted Blackwater Base once again and reported his recovery and the recent battle in Xiangshan City. Besides, he asked Blackwater Base for the instruction of his next task.
Zhang Tie didn't feel complacent because of his surging battle strength. After coming out of the underground space, he still bore in mind his duty on the battlefield — — a knight scout under the command of Blackwater Base!
Blackwater Base soon sent a message to Zhang Tie, which was out of Zhang Tie's expectation. Previously, Zhang Tie thought that Blackwater Base would have him hunt demons in the vacuum zone between humans and demons and continue his task as a scout. It was out of his imagination that Blackwater Base asked him to stay in Xiangshan City for a few days. 3 days later, he had to escort all the troops of Taixia Country in Xiangshan City back to Helan Mountain Range. After that, he would go back to Blackwater Base for a rest.
After receiving this order, of course, Zhang Tie could only follow it.
After knowing that Zhang Tie would stay in Xiangshan City for a few days and escort the troops of Taixia Country back to Helan Mountain Range, those knights of Wuzhou Province and Xu Baoan the Cheji General of Wuzhou Province were thrilled. These people had witnessed Zhang Tie's powerful means. With Zhang Tie's protection, Xiangshan City would be safe for a few days. Additionally, almost 1 million troops of Wuzhou Province in Xiangshan City would not be raided by demon knights in the process of evacuation …
