It was dark and silent in the detention room. Time passed very fast in the dark; especially for a knight, 2 days passed in the blink of an eye …
The darkness drove away the light while the silence blocked the uproar. In the darkness and silence, the images in one's mind became more distinct.
Burning corpses of Hua commoners …
Dead mothers cradling their babies …
Numerous wails …
The endless fresh blood on the west bank of Weishui River had soaked the ground as if it was going to overflow from the floor of the detention room. After submerging Zhang Tie's instep, it kept moving upwards, almost suffocating Zhang Tie.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem What broke this suffocation was the string of remote-sensing communications finger rings that Zhang Tie carried like a necklace. Unknowingly, the remote-sensing crystals in those remote-sensing communications finger rings started to fluctuate. At the beginning, 1, 2, 3. Closely after that, almost all the remote-sensing communications finger rings started to fluctuate as messages were constantly transmitted from other remote-sensing communications finger rings in order to contact Zhang Tie …
It was Zhang Tie's first time to encounter such a situation. The urgent waves caused by numerous remote-sensing finger rings shattered the image in Zhang Tie's mind. At the same time, Zhang Tie raised his head from the bloody darkness and returned to the real world.
Zhang Tie knew that something important must have happened; otherwise, such a situation would never happen.
In this case, Zhang Tie always contacted his family members first.
"Elder brother, what's up …"
"Who're you?"
"I'm Zhang Tie. Elder brother, what's wrong with you …"
"Where are you?"
"I'm in Ningzhou Province!"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'm very good …"
"I've just heard that you were ambushed and killed by a heavenly demon knight when you were inspecting Anxi City, Xinglin Prefecture, Military Province. I'm so scared …"
"Tell my dad and mom that I'm fine. I'm very good …"
"Hmm, take care of yourself. Don't run around these days. Your safety comes first. If something happened to you, what about our dad and mom …"
Zhang Tie finally knew what had happened. The one who was inspecting Anxi City, Xinglin Prefecture, Military Province was also "Zhang Tie". However, that "Zhang Tie" was just a "substitute" arranged by Zuoqiu Mingyue. Zhang Tie had not imagined that demons had dispatched a heavenly knight to ambush him.
After ending the contact with his elder brother, Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy and separated it into over 10 remote-sensing finger rings so as to contact the others and tell them that he was safe and sound …
Besides Zhang Yang, Zhang Tie's family members in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, elders of Huaiyuan Palace, Bai Suxian, Feng Cangwu, Immortal Deyang, Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Mountain Lifting Hermit, Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi, Zhang Tie's disciples, Zuoqiu Mingyue, the Peacewest Farming Administration in Kangzhou City, Pontiff Sarlin … almost all the people who could contact Zhang Tie hurriedly contacted Zhang Tie to confirm his safety.
Since Yan Feiqing defeated Zhu Qianqian, one of the four elders of Taiyi Fantasy Sect a few months ago, she had been in secluded cultivation and was going to cultivate a secret method of Fantasy Lady Sutra. Therefore, she didn't know that Zhang Tie was "in trouble" for the time being.
Watching those vibrating remote-sensing finger rings, Zhang Tie became absent-minded as he had not imagined that his safety could affect so many people and forces. The moment he was in trouble, this news had spread across the world in the blink of an eye. By contrast, the death of over 10 million Hua civilians outside the camp of demons in the west of Weishui River two days ago didn't arouse too much attention across the theater of operations.
However, this was the reality.
One person's life or tens of millions of people's lives, which was more important? Which was more important?
Zhang Tie asked himself …
Meanwhile, Zhang Tie understood that he couldn't stay in the no. 46 air cavalry regiment anymore after such a major event happened.
…
When Zhang Tie was contacting those people who were concerned about his safety by remote-sensing finger rings, two figures flew over here as fast as two lightning bolts. Those soldiers who were on sentry duty outside the headquarters of the no. 46 air cavalry regiment only felt dazzled in front of their eyes. In the next second, the two knights had landed outside the headquarters of the no. 46 air cavalry regiment.
"Where's Xing Xiangtian? Come out and see me!" One of the two knights with a dark face directly called out the regimental commander of the no. 46 air cavalry regiment in a loud voice the moment he landed on the ground, ignoring those dumbfounded fighters on sentry duty.
After hearing this voice, Xing Xiangtian the regimental commander of the no. 46 air cavalry regiment almost rushed out of the headquarters at the fastest speed. At the sight of the dark-faced knight, he instantly gave a solemn military salute to him.
"General, I'm Xing Xiangtian …"
The dark-faced knight was Wei Jingxian, the highest officer of the air cavalries in the theater of operations and the former Cheji General of Ningzhou Province. He was Xing Xiangtian's superior's superior's superior's superior. All the independent air cavalries troops across the theater of operations were his subordinates. In normal times, Xing Xiangtian was not even qualified to meet Wei Jingxian.
Xing Xiangtian was dumbfounded by Wei Jingxian's uninvited arrival as he wondered why the general suddenly paid a visit to the no. 46 air cavalry regiment.
"Did a major called Zhang Tie report to you as the battalion commander of the no. 46 air cavalry regiment one month ago?" Wei Jingxian asked eagerly.
"Yes!" Xing Xiangtian nodded as he was more amazed inside. He had not imagined that Wei Jingxian could know the name of Major Zhang Tie. 'Does Major Zhang Tie have a special background?'
After hearing Xing Xiangtian's words, the two knights seemed to be relieved at once as they let out a sigh.
"General, look …" Wei Jingxian said as he looked at the silent knight on his side.
The moment Wei Jingxian opened his mouth, Xing Xiangtian had realized that the knight on Wei Jingxian's side seemed to have a higher position than Wei Jingxian. 'Is he a shadow knight? My god, what a special day it is today … '
"Where's the camp of the no. 1 camp? Take us there!" The other knight said calmly as he threw a glance at Xing Xiangtian.
"Are … are you looking for Major Zhang Tie …" Xing Xiangtian asked bravely as he scratched his head.
"It's none of your business. Just take us to see Zhang … Zhang Tie!" Wei Jingxian stammered when he mentioned Zhang Tie.
"Look, Major Zhang Tie is not in the camp of the no. 1 camp!" After finding that the two knights had just let out a sigh of relief, Xing Xiangtian instantly widened their eyes and became intense. Xing Xiangtian hurriedly continued, "Major Zhang Tie is in the detention room of the Law Enforcement Center of the regimental headquarters …"
"What? Detention room?" The two knights were shocked at the same time with brilliant looks.
