"Let's bid farewell to each other here. Bon voyage. There should be no more demon knights in Helan Mountain Range these days …" Zhang Tie waved his hand towards Long Miao, Fang Hui and Peng Yulin.
The huge formation of over 3,000 airships had already entered Helan Mountain Range. Besides these airships, tens of thousands of airships were flying eastward for hundreds of miles. It could not be described as spectacular anymore.
After stopping in some large airship bases in Helan Prefecture, Wuzhou Province for replenishment, these airships would fly over Helan Mountain Range and fly straight towards Huanzhou Province.
Besides airships, there were hundreds of airboats in the sky. Like airships, these airboats were also transporting civilians and commoners who evacuated to Helan Prefecture to Huanzhou Province rapidly.
Compared to airships, airboats were more efficient. An airboat could fly across Helan Mountain Range in 2 hours and make a round trip between Wuzhou Province and Huanzhou Province. Each airboat could transport at least thousands of people to tens of thousands of people. There were over 10,000 airboats in the borders of Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province which were responsible for the final evacuation. With such a terrifying national strength and mobilization ability, it only took Taixia Country a few months to evacuate most of the civilians in the unoccupied regions of Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province.
Besides airships and airboats, many knights were flying here and there within hundreds of miles. There was more than one patrol team of knights. Therefore, after coming here, they didn't need to worry about being raided by demon knights.
The four people bid farewell to each other in the air. Although there was no platform in the air, they had to bid farewell to each other. Zhang Tie would return to Blackwater Base; Long Miao, Fang Hui and Peng Yulin would continue to escort the army of 1 million people from Wuzhou Province into Huanzhou Province. After getting off the airships in Huanzhou Province, Fang Hui and Peng Yulin would be responsible for reorganization. Some fighters had to stay in Huanzhou Province; some had to leave Huanzhou Province. The grand elder of Long Clan of Sande Palace had to return to his clan and join his family members so as to revive the prestige of Sande Palace. Of course, a major clan would suffer a great loss if it moved away from its territory; however, if it didn't leave, the entire clan would be destroyed by demons.
"Well, let's say goodbye here. I hope I can fight with Qianji Zhenren on the battlefield again!" Fang Hui said boldly, "When the troops are reorganized, I'll apply to be transferred to the frontline. Otherwise, I'll let someone else be the army commander …"
"I hope that when I advance to the Earth stage in the future, I'll be able to spar with the Enlightened Being. The Enlightened Being's battle techniques are truly admirable!" Peng Yulin also cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie. Before leaving, the arrogant corps leader finally revealed a bit of arrogance.
Zhang Tie had just held his rotating chakra ceremony; however, Peng Yulin had already reached the 9 change black iron realm and was going to promote to an earth knight in a few years. Therefore, Peng Yulin thought that if he could promote to an earth knight soon, he might narrow the gap between him and Zhang Tie.
When a proud person saw someone younger and more outstanding than him, he couldn't help but have the thought of chasing after him.
After hearing Peng Yulin's words, Zhang Tie just nodded with a smile. If Peng Yulin knew that he was going to promote to a shadow knight soon, this young corps leader of Wuzhou Province Army might have a shadow in his heart from then on.
'It's not bad for a slightly arrogant corps leader of Taixia Country. They're all young men. It's unnecessary to strike them at this moment.'
Even Zhang Tie didn't realize that the black iron knight had become a "young man" in his eyes who needed to consider the other's feelings and self-esteem.
"Where are you going, Elder Long?"
"Long Clan of Sande Palace has a city and some industries in Hongzhou Province of Zhongan Military Region. As our clan relocates to Hongzhou Province, some elders and the clan head of our clan are fighting demons in the theater of operations. I need to go back to Hongzhou Province. We have to have a knight in our clan!" Elder Long Miao said.
"If Long Clan is also interested in Fiery Oil, Elder Long could take a trip to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory …"
The grand elder of Long Clan threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie as he cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie heavily. Zhang Tie's gift of fiery oil was really timely for Long Clan of Sande Palace. If they could really manage the business of fiery oil, it would only take Long Clan a few years to recover their former prosperity, even surpass it. How could such a great favor be appreciated by Zhang Tie casually? Actually, it would be too much for Long Clan to express his gratitude casually.
"Take care!"
"Take care!"
After saying that, the four people cupped their hands towards Zhang Tie. Closely after that, they separated. Long Miao, Fang Hui and Peng Yulin flew towards the formation of airships in the distance. Zhang Tie turned around and flew towards the junction of Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River, namely the southeast of Helan Prefecture in Wuzhou Province. Blackwater Base and all the other advanced bases of Taixia Country were gathering there.
…
Zhang Tie flew along the boundary line between Helan Mountain Range and the plain at a moderate speed like the other earth knights. In less than half an hour, Zhang Tie had seen Blackwater Base once again.
After four months, the Blackwater Base was still the same as it was four months ago. There were no visible changes on the outside, but within a thousand square kilometers of the Blackwater Base, apart from the Blackwater Base, the other ten forward operating bases were also hovering in the sky.
All the 11 advanced bases of Taixia Country were gathering here. The huge advanced bases suspending in the sky were like huge air castles. Each advanced base was only about 30 miles away from the other advanced bases. The 11 advanced bases formed a huge steel ring in the sky. In the middle of the ring, Zhang Tie had never seen a huge air fortress made of metal which was almost on the same level as the Lion Fortress.
Numerous knights were flying between the advanced bases and the air fortress in the middle. Airboats, large or small, were suspending below this spectacle composed of huge bases and air fortresses meticulously.
It was noon. The sun had just risen to the highest point. The 12 huge shadows in the sky were like a city in the sky covering the ground.
There were no ground troops on the ground here, and everyone was flying around in the air. It was like a legendary city of knights.
Even Zhang Tie was shocked by such a magnificent epic scene...
After taking in a few deep breaths, Zhang Tie looked at the location of Blackwater Base before flying towards it. However, before he arrived at Blackwater Base, he had heard a pleasant voice from his back …
"Zhang Tie … it's really you …"
Zhang Tie turned around as he saw Feng Cangwu and some young knights flying towards him with pleasant looks …
