When Zhang Tie came back, all the over 100,000 human knights in Xuanyuan Fortress fixated onto Zhang Tie with admiration, shock, awe, pure jealousy and some female knights' coquettish love and admiration. Zhang Tie glanced around and caught most of their expressions.
Take Feng Yexiao and the other members of Taiyi Fantasy Sect as an instance, they looked like a bunch of narrow-minded misers who saw someone on their side winning a prize of 5 million gold coins; especially Feng Yexiao, whose facial expression was really eye-catching. Those disciples of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who dared sneer at Zhang Tie previously almost dared not look straight into Zhang Tie's eyes at this moment.
Although Zhang Tie had not promoted to a shadow knight, his heroic manner of killing a demon knight alone on the battlefield scared those disciples of Taiyi Fantasy Sect who disliked Zhang Tie previously. Zhang Tie could kill a black iron earth demon knight as easily as killing a chicken or a dog. Therefore, it would not be difficult for him to kill them too.
As for Feng Yexiao, he tightly pursed his lips as he pretended to be lofty and disdainful; however, his jealousy and a bit fear in his eyes couldn't be concealed anymore.
Zhang Tie felt pretty cool inside …
The first one who rushed towards Zhang Tie was Bai Suxian.
Under the gaze of the others, the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion directly threw herself into Zhang Tie's arms as she put her arms around Zhang Tie's neck and said, "Do you know that you almost scared me to death just now …"
"It's okay. Aren't I back?" Zhang Tie comforted Bai Suxian as he patted her back.
"When did your swordsmanship become so great? Why didn't I see you show it before?" Bai Suxian asked out of curiosity. Since she knew Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie had used his fist and spear in front of her; however, he rarely used his sword. Even Bai Suxian didn't know that Zhang Tie's swordsmanship was so great.
"Haha, I will tell you later …"
After all, they were on the battlefield. It was not the place for them to show their affection. Only after a short talk with Bai Suxian, Zhang Tie had pulled her hand and returned to the army of knights in Xuanyuan Fortress.
The moment Zhang Tie returned, he had seen Guo Hongyi being taken away by two law enforcement knights of Xuanyuan Fortress. Before being taken away, Guo Hongyi turned around and threw a glance at Zhang Tie. Although Guo Hongyi looked calm, her eyes seemed to contain a lot of words …
"Humph, vixen, you're always looking for opportunities to seduce men …" Bai Suxian snorted on Zhang Tie's side.
Just now, Zhang Tie only saw Guo Hongyi rushing into the battlefield. He didn't know the concrete situation. After hearing Bai Suxian's jealous words, Zhang Tie seemed to understand something, "What happened to Guo Hongyi?"
"Don't you know?"
"Do you really think that I'm clairvoyant and clairaudient? Do you think that I'm a heavenly knight?" Zhang Tie pinched Bai Suxian's waist as he said, "I was fighting a lot of demon knights on the battlefield just now. How could I know everything within hundreds of miles on the battlefield!"
"It's okay. Some people didn't follow orders on the battlefield …" Bai Suxian replied with a smile as she instantly shifted the topic. She didn't want to talk about Guo Hongyi with Zhang Tie anymore.
Zhang Tie knew that Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi didn't like each other. It was almost impossible for him to hear any good words about Guo Hongyi from Bai Suxian. After all, he couldn't "interrogate" Bai Suxian in the public here.
At this moment, the demon army started to move on the ground. Thousands of miles away from Weishui River in the west, those huge demon war beasts started to move as they started to change their forms and root in the ground. Closely after that, those huge demon war beasts started to turn into demon war trees. The war trees started to puff out clouds and mist. Gradually, the sky over 200 miles away from the west bank of Weishui River was covered with dark grey mist …
Only after a short while, those demon war trees had started to grow out large patches of branches, leaves and trunks. At the same time, dense bizarre fruits started to appear on those branches, leaves and trunks. Those fruits were the supplies of the demon army.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The transformation of huge demon war beasts indicated that the demon army was going to camp here for a long time. As the huge demon war beasts started to change their forms, those floating demon battle fortresses in the sky also slowly moved back to the middle of the camp of hundreds of millions of demons.
It was Zhang Tie's first time to see the transformation of huge demon war beasts. Zhang Tie knew that cordyceps could transform into different forms between plants and animals; however, the huge demon war beasts were much larger than cordyceps. They were transformed from war trees, which were like skyscrapers on the ground. Each war tree could cover a few square miles. Huge demon war beasts were sharp weapons of demons.
Watching demons encampment and those floating demon battle fortresses retreating, Xuanyuan Fortress and those floating demon battle fortresses also slowly moved to 120 miles away from the east bank of Weishui River from the west bank of Weishui River. They confronted the demon army in the east bank of Weishui River from over 500 miles away.
The war had not come to an end. However, the momentum of demons' attack had been shattered in the front line of Weishui River. It would take demons a long time to break the iron wall that Taixia Country had set in the front line of Weishui River.
Watching those floating demon battle fortresses retreating, demons encampment in the west bank of Weishui River, Xuanyuan Fortress and those floating demon battle fortresses moving back to the east bank of Weishui River safely, Zhang Tie could hear the cheers of hundreds of millions of Taixia soldiers on the ground. Since demons started to invade Taixia Country, Taixia Country finally won a head-on battle against demons.
Although it was a small victory, it was of great significance for Taixia Country. The morale of all the troops across the theater of operations was boosted.
This report of victory was sent to Xuanyuan Hill at once. Xuanyuan Hill also officially reported the report to all the provinces across the theater of operations. In the evening, Xuanyuan Fortress and those floating demon battle fortresses were in jubilation …
In such jubilation, Zhang Tie and Zuoqiu Mingyue were patting the table in Zuoqiu Mingyue's office in Xuanyuan Fortress while staring at each other.
When Zhang Tie came to Zuoqiu Mingyue's office, all the commissioned officers and knights and Zuoqiu Mingyue's attendants in the command of Xuanyuan Fortress treated him much more politely than before. After closing the door, Zhang Tie explained his purpose to Zuoqiu Mingyue. Zuoqiu Mingyue was impartial.
"Let her go right away …" Zhang Tie said as he straightened his neck.
According to the military order, I should have beheaded her. Given that she's a woman and was as brave as men in the battle and even killed a black iron demon knight, I've already given her a lighter punishment... "" Guo Hongyi despised the decree and left the battle formation without being ordered to leave the battle formation. Based on the military order, Guo Hongyi should be beheaded. Given her courage, I've already given her a lighter punishment... "
"There's no room for negotiation, right?" Zhang Tie took in a deep breath.
"No!" Zuoqiu Mingyue refused straightforwardly.
"Pah!" Zhang Tie threw his official seal of Weiji General and remote-sensing finger ring onto the table as he said with a cold look, "If so, I quit. Commander-in-chief, please find someone else …"
Zuoqiu Mingyue widely opened his eyes as he glared at Zhang Tie with a furious look. Pointing at Zhang Tie's nose, he blew his beard as he quivered all over, "I quit. Do you know what you're talking about? You're arrogant because of the favor. You've made a great meritorious deed in the battle formation today. You should set an example for the rest of the army. How could you behave so recklessly?
Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the rest of the world? "Zhang Tie looked straight into Zuoqiu Mingyue's eyes fearlessly as he said," I quit. I will take it as an apology for Guo Hongyi. As for being arrogant because of the favor, I couldn't even protect a woman as a general. It's meaningless for me to have a woman who wanted to save me suffer. If you say that I'm arrogant because of the favor, I admit it. As for being ridiculed by the rest of the world, so what? I've even been a wanted criminal in Taixia Country. Both the Heavens Reaching Church and the Supreme Court of Taixia Country want to kill me. Compared to this, I don't care about being ridiculed by the rest of the world.
Zuoqiu Mingyue burst out into laughter out of extreme fury, "How dare someone threaten this old man in this world!"
"That's all I have to say. It's up to you, commander-in-chief …"
Zhang Tie started to be unreasonable and shameless in front of Zuoqiu Mingyue.
The two people just stared at each other without making any concession …
…
3 minutes later, Zhang Tie opened the door of Zuoqiu Mingyue's office and walked out with a glassy-eyed look.
The moment Zhang Tie opened the door, he had heard a loud sound from Zuoqiu Mingyue's office. A desk in the room had been broken into pieces.
Zuoqiu Mingyue's attendant was startled by the noise in the room. After following Zuoqiu Mingyue for so long, it was his first time to see Zuoqiu Mingyue lose his temper. Additionally, as Hua people severely defeated demons in the large-scale war, everybody was happy about it. How could the commander-in-chief lose his temper at this moment? Therefore, the attendant couldn't help but look at Zhang Tie with a dubious look.
"Ahem … ahem …" Zhang Tie coughed twice as he rubbed his face. Closely after that, he watched that subordinate with a solemn look, "I've got a lot of enlightenment about swordsmanship on the battlefield today. I'm asking the commander-in-chief for advice just now. I'm afraid that your commander-in-chief is deducing the mysteries of swordsmanship in the room. Don't disturb him. After a while, just change a desk for your commander-in-chief …"
…
After leaving the high tower, Zhang Tie touched that decree of pardon in his coat before walking towards the Law Enforcement Center of Xuanyuan Fortress …
