"The traitors of Heavens Reaching Church should be killed. Including Yezhou Province which has been completely occupied by demons and the greater part of Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province which are being occupied by demons, the territory of Heavens Reaching Empire is almost half the size of Taixia Military Region. The population of Heavens Reaching Empire consists of over 12 billion civilians who have been captured by demons …"
"Over 12 billion civilians?" Zhang Tie was also shocked by this figure. He knew that many Taixia civilians had been captured by demons in the three provinces; however, he had not imagined that it could be so many. This figure was really terrifying.
"It's the result of evacuating civilians from Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province in the past half a year. Of course, you've also made a meritorious contribution!" Zuoqiu Mingyue watched Zhang Tie with an appreciative look, "Although it's a merchant's method to have major clans in Taixia Country invest in evacuating civilians from the theater of operations with the benefit of Fiery Oil, it works well. In many cases, it's not as good as enticing people with benefits. Although the imperial court could order major clans to do this, I'm afraid that major clans are not that enthusiastic!"
"Thanks for your praise, commander-in-chief. I've just done what I could!" Facing the praise of the Military God, Zhang Tie didn't feel proud at all; instead, he was very sincere, "When I was in Waii Subcontinent, I saw numerous civilians' miserable situation in the demon's region. Most of them were living a miserable life. Many of them were reduced to demons' bloody slaves like livestock in captivity. More people were turned into lifeless walking corpses in batches. Now that I've come to Taixia Country, of course, it's my bounden duty to save my compatriots!"
"What a bounden duty! If everyone in Taixia Country could be like you, Hua people would be the final winner no matter how powerful demons are!" Ye Qingcheng nodded as he continued, "Do you know why demons allowed Heavens Reaching Church to establish a puppet regime in Taixia Country?"
"Isn't this cooperation beneficial to both of them?"
"Yes, it's beneficial. However, given the temperament of demons, how could living people be more useful than walking corpses? If they're not afraid of the mutated moons miasma in the hands of humans, the mutated moons miasma might break out within the three provinces as long as all the commoners within the three provinces are transformed into demonized puppets. As a result, demons' attack route would be blocked and demons' plan to attack Taixia Country would be completely disrupted. Additionally, the army of demons would be involved. As a result, less than 20% of the over 10 billion commoners in the three provinces could survive …" Ye Qingcheng said in a muffled voice.
Moon Devil Miasma? Zhang Tie wondered, 'Have Zuoqiu Mingyue and Ye Qingcheng already known that I'm the incarnation of Gorath and that I've mastered the Full Moons Demon Miasma? But that was impossible. Apart from himself, who else would know that he was Gorath?
"Commander Ye, you mean …" Zhang Tie asked after a short hesitation.
"I'm told that you know Gorath?"
"I've met him in Waii Sub-continent. We're a bit acquainted; however, we're not familiar with each other. We could only meet for a few times …" Zhang Tie said carefully.
"Taixia Country especially dispatched people to Waii Subcontinent to collect samples of Moons Demon Miasma and study them. The conclusion is that Moons Demon Miasma in Gorath's hand is the nemesis of demonized puppets. Additionally, it could cause a great harm to LV 9 demon fighters. I believe that demons and Three-eye Association have done the same thing and reached the same conclusion. Therefore, after Waii Subcontinent was exterminated, there was no large-scale demon disaster involving over 100 million people in this holy war. Because of Moons Demon Miasma in Gorath's hand, there was no large-scale demon disaster involving over 100 million people in this holy war. Because of Moons Demon Miasma in Gorath's hand, the parent puppet worm, one of the biggest weapons that demons prepared in this holy war, was greatly restrained at once. As a result, demons dared not transform humans into demonized puppets on a large scale anymore. It could be said that Moons Demon Miasma in Gorath's hand took away a trump card of demons. According to the intelligence that we've got, demons and Three-eye Association have already dispatched some shadow knights to form some hunting teams and are looking for Gorath all over the world. As long as Gorath is killed, the trump card of demons would play its role once again. If you could contact Gorath, tell him that Taixia Country could protect him at any time. If he would like to serve Taixia Country, he could put forward any conditions such as cultivation methods, resources, wealth or land. Taixia Country could even fully support his research on voodoo pills on the condition that Taixia Country could share his research achievements with him …"
Zhang Tie understood it at once, 'It turns out that my moons demon miasma has become a great threat to demons who use parent puppet worms. Therefore, demons and Three-eye Association want to kill "Gorath". However, what was a threat to demons was a treasure for Taixia Country. If Taixia Country could control Gorath and moons demon miasma, Taixia Country would be able to balance the threat caused by the parent puppet worms of demons and ensure that those b * stards of demons and Heavens Reaching Church wouldn't mess around in their occupied areas. As "Gorath" had shown up in his rotating chakra ceremony, it seemed that he knew Zhang Tie. Therefore, the higher-ups of Taixia Country wanted Zhang Tie to contact Gorath so as to control the moons demon miasma.
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt very lucky that he had a "foresight" to have Gorath show up in his rotating chakra ceremony. In this world, nobody would think that he was Gorath; otherwise, as long as the fact that he had a body-changing immortal bloodline was exposed, someone would associate Gorath with him. Take this time as an instance, demons and Three-eye Association formed a hunting team led by a shadow knight to deal with Gorath. If Zhang Tie didn't clarify the relationship between him and Gorath, although he was not afraid of such a hunting team, he might bring great troubles to his family members.
"Although I'm a bit familiar with Gorath, I don't have a remote-sensing device that could contact him. If I could meet him, I would definitely pass your message to him. However, I'm in the theater of operations. I'm afraid that I could barely see him in a short period. When he appeared in my rotating chakra ceremony last time, he said that he was going to leave Taixia Country. I'm not clear about the details either."
"Hmm, just bear this in mind. Gorath's whereabouts are mysterious. Taixia Country couldn't get any news about him even at its full efforts. I'm afraid that demons and Three-eye Association could not find him easily …" Ye Qingcheng became silent for a second before opening his mouth, "Today, I'm here for Gorath and you!"
"About me?"
"Yes, from today on, your command and affiliation will be transferred from Blackwater Base to Xuanyuan Fortress. You will be under my direct command …" Zuoqiu Mingyue said.
It was the second time for Zhang Tie to be shocked. He had not imagined that Zuoqiu Mingyue could transfer him from Blackwater Base to Xuanyuan Fortress. 'What does he want to do?'
"When you volunteered to be a scout of Blackwater Base, your courage was commendable. You could be a role model for knights in Northeast Military Region. Based on your ability, I think that you could perform a scout mission safely. Therefore, I transferred you to Helan Mountain Range. However, the event that you were ambushed by Gao Tianzhao reminded me and commander-in-chief that your ability and strength might not be limited to fighting on the battlefield. If you're just a powerful earth knight, demons and Heavens Reaching Church would not assign a shadow knight to kill you. It might be overkill to have you serve as a scout on the battlefield …" Ye Qingcheng explained.
"Commander-In-Chief, what do you want me to do?" Zhang Tie asked Zuoqiu Mingyue straightforwardly.
"Why do demons and Heavens Reaching Church want to kill you? I want to use you for the same reason!" Zuoqiu Mingyue watched Zhang Tie calmly as he said, "The war between Taixia Country and demons is bound to last for a long time. Demons couldn't devour Taixia Country at once; neither could Taixia Country drive demons out of the Eastern Continent completely. Especially after the establishment of Heavens Reaching Empire, the entire Western Theater of Operations would confront demons and Heavens Reaching Empire for a long time. In the future, Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River would be a barrier that demons could barely break through in a short period. I couldn't find anyone more suitable than you in Taixia Country. Therefore, I asked for you from Blackwater Base!"
"Fiery oil!" Zhang Tie understood it at once.
"Fiery oil and grains!" Zuoqiu Mingyue replied with a smile, "Given the current situation facing Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, I've known that you're ambitious. Qianji, you're really worthy of your reputation. If the rear of the Western Theater of Operations could be like that of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, Taixia Country's defense line in Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River would be more stable. If demons want to break through it, they would have to pay a greater price. Would you like to leave the battlefield?"
Zhang Tie said in a muffled voice, "As long as I could contribute to the holy war, I don't care where I am!"
"Fine!" Zuoqiu Mingyue clapped his hands as he said, "From today on, I will appoint you as the assistant and secretary of the commander-in-chief and Weiji General of Xuanyuan Fortress in Taixia Country. You'll be in charge of the provision and equipment of the troops in Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province, Ningzhou Province and Military Province in the Western Theater of Operations. You're Class III and have the right to make an arbitrary decision …"
Zhang Tie was stunned. The identity of the commander-in-chief was equal to the assistant and secretary of Zuoqiu Mingyue, the commander-in-chief of the three chancellors of Taixia Country. Zhang Tie could contact Zuoqiu Mingyue at any time. Weiji General was responsible for logistics and supply in the army of Taixia Country, which was equal to the director of logistics and equipment of the army. He had a great power. The right to make an arbitrary decision in the theater of operations meant that he could chop off people's heads without seeking permission or trial …
"Yes, sir …" After being shocked for a short while, Zhang Tie stood up at once and said solemnly …
