Zhang Tie had just returned to Xuanyuan Fortress for less than one day.
Two months ago, when the troops of Fire-Dragon Corps arrived at the east bank of Weishui River, Zhang Tie had left Xuanyuan Fortress the next day and deepened into the demons' zone alone for the opportunity to promote to a shadow knight.
As the demon army gradually approached Xuanyuan Fortress, the battles between human knights and demon knights grew increasingly frequent and large-scale. As a result, it became increasingly difficult for Zhang Tie to capture or refine demon knights in troubled waters.
During the past 2 months, Zhang Tie met teams of over 100 demon knights in the demons' area. Generally, he didn't have a chance to fight them at all. If it were others, they could barely make any achievement in this case. With the effect of his powerful secret method and Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie only gained 2 earth demon knights and 6 black iron demon knights after 2 months.
After refining the two earth demon knights who had just promoted to a shadow knight using Purgatory Samsara Method, Zhang Tie lit 7 more scales on his water chakra.
Closely after that, Zhang Tie sacrificed those demon knights in Castle of Black Iron to make Gao Tianzhao's water chakra complete once again. After absorbing Gao Tianzhao's water chakra, Zhang Tie lit 26 more scales on his water chakra.
After 2 months, Zhang Tie finally lit 357 scales on his water chakra, only 3 scales away from promoting to a shadow knight. He was almost close to the realm of shadow knight.
If he refined another earth demon knight, he would be able to promote to a shadow knight smoothly. Even if he couldn't capture an earth demon knight, it would only take Zhang Tie a few months to light 2 scales on his water chakra by absorbing element crystals.
However, demons didn't spare Zhang Tie such a time. Over the past 2 months, the demon army which had completed the final assembly finally approached the frontline of Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River. As the large-scale war was imminent, Zhang Tie instantly returned to Xuanyuan Fortress and prepared to fight demons with Fire-Dragon Corps and the other human knights of Taixia Country.
Zhang Tie had just arrived at Xuanyuan Fortress last night. However, in less than 24 hours, the demon army had already surged towards Xuanyuan Fortress in an overwhelming manner.
This was Zhang Tie's experience in the past two months...
At this moment, Zhang Tie and all the other human knights of Taixia Country were gathering above Xuanyuan Fortress in a large battle formation and watching the first battle between Zuoqiu Mingyue the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country and Sagus the abyss monarch of demons …
Zuoqiu Mingyue and Sagus also returned to the air-borne battle fortress of devils.
"Prepare for the battle …" Zuoqiu Mingyue's voice sounded in the ears of all the knights of Taixia Country.
Zhang Tie's blood boiled at once as if he had returned to Selnes...
In less than one minute after Sagus returned to the demon's airtight battle fortress, the demon army had started to move.
In the sky, almost 20,000 demon knights charged at Xuanyuan Fortress from the left and right flank. The moment they moved, over 20,000 black, blue, purple and brown battle qi smokes had rushed into the sky from their bodies. As a result, they cut the sky into pieces like a cage made of battle qi smokes.
Two heavenly demon knights were in front of the 20,000 demon knights. The two heavenly demon knights directly manifested their virtual images. One heavenly demon knight turned into a 1,000 m long 9-headed poisonous dragon while the other turned into a 1,000 m high 3-eyed giant. Both of them rushed towards the human knights of Taixia Country.
This kind of momentum, compared to the momentum of the march of the devil army just now, was not inferior in any way.
On the ground, two corps of 200,000 iron-armored demons flew out of the demon army and rushed towards Weishui River after passing through the frontline of ox-headed demons and spider demons from over 60 miles away.
Sitting on the throne made of skeletons, Sagus was watching the demon army rushing towards Taixia Country distantly. Over 80,000 demon knights around the demon's airtight battle fortress remained still, not to mention most of the demon corps on the ground.
As it was the first battle, demons didn't exert their full efforts. Sagus didn't even launch a battle himself.
On the side of Xuanyuan Fortress, Zuoqiu Mingyue's order had been passed. The 20,000 human knights on the left and right flank of Xuanyuan Fortress also rushed out towards the demon army.
At this moment, neither party chose to collide with the large battle formation of demon knights. As for demons, as the attacking party, facing the long defense line of Taixia Country and the natural moat of Weishui River, it was obviously stupid for them to gather their knights to collide with the most powerful point in the entire defense line of Taixia Country. Additionally, Taixia Country had Xuanyuan Fortress. As long as they formed a large battle formation, Xuanyuan Fortress could evidently restrain the large battle formation of demon knights, which was disadvantageous to demons.
As for Taixia Country, as long as Taixia knights formed a large battle formation, there would be too many gaps in the defense line of Weishui River. As long as the large battle formation of Taixia knights was stalled by demons, the wing demons would easily break through the natural moat of Weishui River. As a result, the corps of Taixia Country in the east of Weishui River would be very passive facing wing demons in the sky. Even though there were airplanes and air cavalries in the theater of operations, they had not been tested on the battlefield. Nobody could guarantee whether they could completely restrain wing demons. What was more, in the current stage, there were only about 2 million airplanes and airplanes in the theater of operations in total, which was evidently less than that of wing demons.
On this occasion, whoever gathered knights into a large battle formation would be an idiot. Although the large battle formation of knights was very powerful, no matter how powerful it was, it would not play any positive role if it was used in the wrong place. For instance, armored corps could play a great role on plains; however, as long as they were placed in swamps or mountainous areas, even the powerful armored corps would become scrap iron. For instance, the large battle formation of knights could play the best role in the scramble for the territory in Tiewei Mountain in the Earth-elements Realm. When being outnumbered, the large battle formation of knights could completely crush the opponent at the minimum price; however, in the battle formation of knights, especially in the long defense line, the effect of the large battle formation of knights would be very limited.
…
Zhang Tie and Feng Cangwu were among the 10,000 knights of Taixia Country on the left wing. It was Ye Qingcheng who led these knights.
Ye Qingcheng flew out first while his virtual image appeared at the same time. Ye Qingcheng's virtual image was a huge sword as long as hundreds of meters. Flying out of a blooming lotus flower, it slashed towards the 9-headed demon dragon. On the other side, the first heavenly knight of Taixia Country rushed towards the 3-eyed giant in the form of 1,000 m high flaming ape.
"Hahaha, let's see who could kill more demon knights. The one who wins the bet will get a jar of liquor …" Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he rushed towards the over 10,000 demon knights on the left side of the mountain.
"Fine!" Feng Cangwu said in a heroic manner as his battle qi smoke rose up at the same time. At this moment, he recovered his arrogance as a top disciple of Heavens Fortune Sect, "I kill black iron demon knights; you kill earth demon knights. It's fair if you kill earth demon knights …"
"Hahaha … no problem, I can kill more earth demon knights than you can kill black iron demon knights!" Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he accelerated abruptly, leaving Feng Cangwu far behind him. Feng Cangwu swore inside as he hurriedly accelerated to catch up with Zhang Tie.
In Zhang Tie's eyes were dense demon knights and numerous battle qi smokes. In such a battlefield, Zhang Tie was completely ignited …
As a man of Taixia Country and a Hua knight, Zhang Tie would have no regrets if he could kill demons and defend his country on the battlefield of the holy war.
Additionally, Zhang Tie knew that it was more difficult for him to die now. After staying in the tower of time with Yan Feiqing for 6 decades, even if he didn't use his ability as a divine dominator, even a heavenly knight could not easily kill him.
At the same time, a light appeared on Ye Qingcheng's body, which was the effect of aiding strength. At the same time, Ye Qingcheng who was flying in the front gave out a golden light. At the same time, all the Hua knights who were rushing towards the demon army were immediately affected by Ye Qingcheng's aiding strength.
This strength brought Zhang Tie's favorite speed and strength. Additionally, it made Zhang Tie immune to the influence of dark aiding strength of all the opponents below heavenly knight. As a result, Zhang Tie's battle strength rose to a higher level in a split second.
At the same time, all the demon knights on the opposite side were covered by the halos of aiding strength while their speeds increased abruptly.
Facing the hundreds of millions of demon knights, Zhang Tie found the long-lost feeling of being a soldier once again. This feeling made Zhang Tie realize that he was not a corps leader, a general or a lord since he left Blackhot City. He was just Zhang Tie, the son of a commoner, a commoner who had a dream, a Hua teenager who hoped that his family and friends could live a good life and a former second lieutenant in Iron-Blood Camp …
The distance of over 200 miles might be too long for commoners; however, it only took the demon knight a split second to clearly see the grim face of the opposite demon knight.
Four heavenly knights collided with each other first. At over 50,000 m high in the air, the collision of heavenly knights made the sun and the moon dim as if millions of lightning bolts had exploded in the sky.
Below the battlefield of heavenly knights, when the 40,000 human and demon knights were still 1,000 m away from each other, those knights in the frontline had already released their battle qis. In a split second, there seemed to be thousands of brilliant fireworks in the sky in the west of Weishui River, forming a beautiful fireworks belt …
It was the brilliance of a knight's battle qi and the most brilliant bloom of a knight's life.
A fierce strike flew by Zhang Tie's side. In front of Zhang Tie, an earth knight who was about 2.5 m in height was brandishing a huge mace which was even thicker than Zhang Tie's waist and rushing towards Zhang Tie with a faint grim smile …
"After experiencing all the trials and tribulations, I still have my original intention; I'm the vanguard of the demon army …"
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt warm and empty inside as he faintly recited a short poem. Closely after the word "vanguard", a bizarre huge sword which was a bit longer than the body of that ox-headed demon knight had appeared in Zhang Tie's hand. When the two people collided with each other, with a flash of sword light, Zhang Tie flew over 100 m away; however, the ox-headed demon knight's body froze in the air and exploded into a bloody mist at once …
On the battlefield of the holy war, the first earth demon knight was killed by Zhang Tie's sword …
