In the team returning to the city, Zhang Tie stood outside Blackhot City, which he had just left two months ago. Squinting his eyes, he observed the city. The city wall of Blackhot City was still tall and firm. The powerful city-defense equipments and facilities on the city wall were still faintly visible in the afterglow of the setting sun. Nothing seemed to have changed, yet everything seemed to have changed again.
The 17-star flag that represented the authority of the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City, as well as the flag of the Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation, had disappeared from the flagpoles on the city wall. Instead, they were replaced by a red blood-dragon flag that represented the authority of the Norman Empire.
Fluttering in the wind, the blood-dragon flag brought an austere atmosphere to the entire city.
The dragon was the sacred beast of the Chinese people. It was said that after the founding emperor of the Norman Empire returned from his journey in the East, he took this flag with him and conquered the Norman Empire in Blackson Human Clan Corridor with his bare fists. Afterwards, this blood-dragon flag with a strong oriental color became the royal family of the Norman Empire, as well as the symbol of the entire Norman Empire. Everyone in Blackson Human Clan Corridor knew that the royal family of the Norman Empire was closely related to the mysterious and powerful Eastern Continent. Even the royal family of the Norman Empire was a mixed-blood family with oriental Chinese blood.
Thinking of how all the horny students were still worried about whether they would encounter the war between the Andaman Alliance, the Norman Empire, and the Sun Dynasty after graduation, Zhang Tie smiled self-mockingly inside. When they left Blackhot City, none of the horny students could have imagined that after only two months, they would all become subjects of the Norman Empire when they came back.
In the past month, Under the "Lightning War" of the armies of the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty, the Andaman Alliance, which had existed for over a century, was destroyed in only five days. The Andaman Alliance was cut into two pieces from the middle like a piece of fat meat and was instantly swallowed by the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty. Among the 17 cities that had formed the Andaman Alliance, the Norman Empire gained 8 cities and a large area of territory in the north of the Andaman Alliance, while the Sun Dynasty gained 8 cities and a large area of territory in the south of the Andaman Alliance. The two powers thoroughly divided the Andaman Alliance equally. Currently, the only city in the entire Andaman Alliance that had not been conquered was the Alliance's City of Machines, Karur.
The southern cities of the Andaman Alliance were more prosperous. Business was also more prosperous. The former capital of the Andaman Alliance, Andaman City, was just to the south. By contrast, cities in the north like Blackhot City had rich resource reserves. The manufacturing industry was also quite developed.
Judging from the final result, the operation of the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty was quite successful. It was not so much a war. Rather, it was a robbery planned by two bandits. Before the operation, they had already discussed how to divide the booty.
Compared to when they had left Blackhot City, when the horny students returned, they were obviously much more silent. That silence was mostly due to their vigilance and confusion about their future. Unless they left Blackhot City, they would have to pledge their loyalty to an emperor in the future. A high and mighty ruler. This made the horny students, who had been used to being ruled by a group of businessmen, factory owners, and mine owners, at a loss what to do.
Zhang Tie didn't care about this change at all. Others might not have such a feeling, but at the sight of the bloody dragon flag which represented the authority of the Norman Empire, Zhang Tie had already acknowledged the new ruler of Blackhot City to some extent. Dragon was the totem of the Chinese people. Since the Norman Empire took the Chinese dragon as its national symbol, Zhang Tie naturally recognized it.
In the Norman Empire, the proportion of the Chinese population in this country was higher than that in the Andaman Alliance. It was said that among the population of over 200 million in the Norman Empire, the Chinese population could account for about 10 million, which was almost 1/20. This proportion was much higher than that of the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City.
At this moment, those who were on sentry duty at the city gate were no longer the city guards of Blackhot City, but the soldiers of the Norman Empire. These soldiers were tall and sturdy with hard faces. Many of their armors had traces of being cut by swords and sabers. Comparing them with the former city guards of Blackhot City, even Zhang Tie had to admit that these soldiers of the Norman Empire seemed to be more iron-blooded and dauntless, which the soldiers of the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City didn't have.
Perhaps this was the difference between an army led by a group of businessmen and an army led by an emperor. The strict atmosphere of a monarchical country could be clearly felt from the two armies.
The team of students attending this survival training entered Blackhot City without any difficulties. The moment they entered the city, all the horny students' faces changed. Many girls screamed — not far from the city gate, there was a row of high scaffolding. On top of the scaffolding, there was a row of corpses with their feet hanging in the air like puppets.
When the army of the Norman Empire took over Blackhot City, they didn't kill anyone. Instead, after taking over Blackhot City, they started to kill people. Those city foxes and ambitious guys who thought that they could take advantage of the great change in Blackhot City were either beheaded or hung as human specimens on the scaffolding outside the city gate after the army of the Norman Empire took over the ruling of Blackhot City.
With their long swords and blood, the army of the Norman Empire taught everybody in Blackhot City the first lesson under the rule of the Norman Empire — be honest!
The streets of Blackhot City looked a bit bleak. There were fewer pedestrians and vehicles than before. Many shops were not open. Patrolling soldiers of the Norman Empire could be seen everywhere. At several crossroads, tanks and armored vehicles of the Iron-Horn Army were parked. In sharp contrast to this desolation, almost every household on the streets had red flags fluttering in front of their doors and windows. Large or small, the Norman Empire's bloody dragon flags and the Iron-Horn Army's flags could be seen everywhere. Many of those flags were made by commoners. Even slogans, which were rarely seen before, could be seen on the streets at this moment. Those slogans would make young people blush at the sight of them. For example, slogans such as "Welcome the army of the Norman Empire into the city", "Celebrate Blackhot City becoming a LV 4 city under the jurisdiction of the Brunswick Province of the Norman Empire", "Long live the Norman Empire" and "Long live the Iron-Horn Army".
After the Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation gave up the ruling right of this city, the residents of this city had learned how to please the new ruler of this city at the fastest speed without being taught by anyone.
At this moment, Blackhot City became strange to everybody.
After entering the city, the teachers of the Temporary Supervision Committee chose a convenient route to send all the female students home. The girls from the two girls' middle schools all lived in two adjacent areas. As for the boys, although they all wanted to go home, they were very tired after walking for a whole day. However, in order to send all the girls home safely, everybody was willing to take a detour.
The army of the Norman Empire seemed to have a good discipline. At least, they didn't see any soldier of the Norman Empire whistling at the girls on the way. However, if the girls went home alone, who knew what would happen?
Along the way. Many female students would leave the team and trot back home when the team passed by their homes. And more parents. But he was already standing on the street near his house, waiting for his child's return.
Although it had only been two months, when they saw each other again, many people hugged their parents and cried bitterly …
Since this morning, Zhang Tie had walked nearly 60 km with the three girls and his four luggage on his back. Many people were exhausted at this moment, but Zhang Tie was still spirited and didn't feel anything at all.
At this moment, Zhang Tie. He was not the same Zhang Tie when he left.
When Alice, Beverly and Pandora arrived home one after another, Zhang Tie gave them their luggage and memorized their address.
"You must come for me!" Alice said before bidding farewell to Zhang Tie.
"I'll wait for you at home! My mom will definitely like you! "This was what Beverly said when she bade farewell to Zhang Tie.
"It seems that... I've grown up a bit..." Pandora said when she left Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie almost wanted to roar towards the sky …
When the last girl returned home, Zhang Tie almost wanted to roar towards the sky... All the horny students didn't need to be told to disperse at once.
After making an appointment with Barley and the others to meet again, Zhang Tie turned around and ran back home.
Seeing that Zhang Tie could still run so fast at this moment, Barley and the others were so shocked that their eyes almost dropped to the ground.
"F * ck, is he still a human? Haven't we discovered that Zhang Tie is actually a human-shaped magical beast?" Hista, who was so tired that he could barely breathe, exclaimed.
"This guy loves his women dearly and doesn't want them to carry his luggage for a whole day. Therefore, he snatched the luggage of the three girls. The total weight of Pandora's luggage and his luggage is at least 100 kg. How could this guy still run after walking with us for a whole day? Am I dreaming?" Leit was also dumbfounded as he watched Zhang Tie's back disappearing at the corner of the street.
...
Zhang Tie was not tired. He was really not tired. If he didn't consider that it might be too scary and cause unnecessary trouble, Zhang Tie really wanted to run back home at his fastest speed. Zhang Tie tried his best to control his speed and ran back home at a pace similar to that of a 100-meter sprint at school.
Only five or six minutes later, Zhang Tie had passed through several streets and the familiar home was already in sight.
When he saw his dad and mom standing on the roadside, waiting for him, Zhang Tie's nose turned sour and he almost burst into tears.
When he saw his dad and mom's happy smiles, Zhang Tie finally became reassured. "My family is fine. That's good! That's good!"
"Mom, dad, I'm back!" Like before, Zhang Tie shouted towards his parents from far away. Because his parents liked to see him being naughty in front of them, Zhang Tie was always very naughty in front of them.
Rushing towards them, Zhang Tie kissed his mom's face. After that, he hugged his dad and made a circle in the air.
"Hurry up, put me down..." Being startled by Zhang Tie's action, his dad forcefully knocked on Zhang Tie's head with his finger. "What if others see it?"
Zhang Tie put his dad down. "Dad, how do you feel? Have you found that I've grown stronger?"
"Eh, I really feel that you've grown a lot!" Zhang Tie's dad finally realized why Zhang Tie's strength was so great.
"I've also grown a bit taller. Look, even my clothes have become smaller..." Zhang Tie pulled the cuffs of his clothes. When he left, the cuffs could cover his wrists; now, they could only cover his wrists. Zhang Tie had grown another 3-4 cm in two months.
"Remember, from now on, you are not allowed to carry dad and make a circle in the street!" Zhang Tie's dad warned Zhang Tie solemnly.
"Yes! How about when nobody else is around? "
Zhang Tie's dad's head was knocked again...
Zhang Tie was indeed different from before. After not seeing him for two months, Zhang Tie's parents thought that it was because of the survival training that caused such a big change in Zhang Tie.
Whenever Zhang Tie played with his dad, his mom would always show a happy smile on her face, just like now.
"Well, well, don't play with each other. Hurry up and go home for dinner!"
"Is elder brother at home?"
"He's cooking at home. They've already been on vacation for a long time. They didn't inform us when they would return!" Zhang Tie's dad answered.
Zhang Tie nodded. After the Iron-Horn Army entered the city, the city guards of Blackhot City were required to put down their weapons and go home on vacation. They didn't inform them when they would report back to the camp. Given the current situation, it was inevitable that the city guards of Blackhot City would be disbanded. But it was not a big deal. It was better to be disbanded. His elder brother's term of service was almost up. Now that his elder sister-in-law was pregnant, he should come back.
Walking home with his dad and mom, Zhang Tie saw two blood-dragon flags of the Norman Empire and the military flag of the Iron-Horn Army on top of the door. He couldn't help but smile. Compared to those he had seen on the way here, these two flags were more delicate.
"Mom, did you make them?"
"I made them together with your elder sister-in-law. She's very skillful, so she made more and sold them for some money!" Zhang Tie's mom replied. From her tone, Zhang Tie could tell that she was very satisfied with her elder sister-in-law. A woman who knew how to live a good life was always liked by all mothers-in-law.
When Zhang Tie wanted to praise his mom, he saw a person, a person who shouldn't be here — — Samira.
Wearing a silk hat, Samira recovered his high-spirited look. Beside him, a team of fully-armed soldiers of the Iron-Horn Army followed him.
"That's him!" Pointing at Zhang Tie, Samira shouted, "This man is the enemy of the Norman Empire. He's a potential saboteur who's hostile to the Iron-Horn Army!"
Hearing this, all the soldiers of the Norman Empire beside Samira stared at Zhang Tie and put their hands on the hilts of their swords...
