As the head of the Blackhot City Prison, Captain Quin had his own off-road vehicle, "Mountain Cat", produced by the Norman Empire. Compared to common steam-powered vehicles on the market, "Mountain Cat" had a higher chassis, better cross-country performance, more abundant power, and more powerful performance.
Although it was also steam-powered, the configuration and performance of military vehicles could not be matched by common civilian vehicles. The steam power unit on this "Mountain Cat" could allow it to maintain a speed of 80 km/h in the wild.
Previously, Captain Quine was worried that Zhang Tie would seize this chance to escape or make trouble. However, after getting on the vehicle, he found that Zhang Tie was focusing on his SUV, ignoring him. Instead, Zhang Tie was chatting with the corporal. After scolding Zhang Tie many times inside, Captain Quine's worry gradually disappeared. "What a bumpkin of Blackhot City!", Captain Quine's worry gradually faded away.
Captain Quinn found it hard to believe that such a person would be an enemy of the Empire, a potential saboteur. However, one couldn't judge a book by its cover. This person didn't seem like the kind of person who held hostility towards the Empire, but looking at this person's age and appearance, Captain Quinn couldn't see what this person had that could attract the attention of the War God.
Iron-Blood hidden strength? Even among the elite soldiers of the Iron-Horn Army, less than 1% of them could make it. How could this bumpkin of Blackhot City, who had never seen the world, make it? Captain Quin sighed inside. He really couldn't figure it out.
Was he really favored by the Battle God?
Captain Quin's heart pounded.
...
Zhang Tie was directly driven by Captain Quin to the headquarters of the No. 39 Division of the Iron-Horn Army in Blackhot City. Two months ago, it was the headquarters of the City Guard Army of Blackhot City.
The defense of the headquarters was very strict. There were dozens of different types of armored vehicles parked outside the headquarters. Besides these steel beasts, there were also many iron-horn beasts that Zhang Tie had seen several weeks ago from afar. Of course, most of the people here were the guards in dark red military uniforms and the soldiers of the Norman Empire who were coming and going.
Captain Quinn's car stopped directly in front of the headquarters building. Then, Captain Quinn jumped out of the car and called a second lieutenant who was standing under the headquarters building. After whispering something, that second lieutenant glanced at Zhang Tie a couple of times before leaving rapidly. In less than half a minute, four sturdy soldiers appeared together with that second lieutenant. After handing Zhang Tie to that second lieutenant and the four soldiers, Zhang Tie was taken away. Captain Quinn left.
Closely after that, Zhang Tie was escorted by the four soldiers and the second lieutenant into a small room on the first floor of a building beside the headquarters building, which was marked as an interrogation room.
As soon as the metal door of the interrogation room was closed, four soldiers stood outside. Only Zhang Tie was left in the interrogation room.
No matter what. The environment here was a hundred times better than the stinky third floor of the Black Dungeon.
The sunlight shone into the interrogation room through the narrow window which was higher than 2 m. Standing in the sunlight, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and raised his head as if he was enjoying it. He just quietly bathed in the warm sunlight.
The 39th Mixed Division of the Iron-Horn Army of the Norman Empire. The number of soldiers was 25,000. The head of the division was Colonel Leibniz. If there were no accidents, this division would be stationed in Blackhot City. Was this the prelude to the chaotic world that Zerom had mentioned?
Thinking of the panic on his parents' faces when he was taken away yesterday, Zhang Tie's heart started to ache once again.
...
When Captain Quinn returned to the prison of Blackhot City, he found that there were some more uninvited guests in the prison. One was a jerk from the Military Administration, while the others were from the Scouts Camp. The jerk from the Military Administration looked a bit embarrassed while the guys from the Scouts Camp looked furious.
At the sight of Captain Quinn, the uninvited guests hurriedly saluted him.
'What are they doing in my territory? '
"What are you doing here? What's the matter?" Because of Zhang Tie, Captain Quinn didn't look good and his tone was a bit stiff.
"It's like this, Captain Quinn. Yesterday, the Military Administration sent people to detain a Chinese youth called Zhang Tie. There might be some misunderstanding. This time, we want to take him away!" The second lieutenant of the Military Administration said as he took out a certificate of procedure issued by the Military Administration and handed it to Captain Quinn.
"I'm sorry, but this person is no longer in prison." Captain Quinn said stiffly.
"What? Is he dead?" A young soldier of the Scout Battalion took a step forward excitedly and staggered slightly. It was absolutely not allowed to speak directly to the commanding officer like this, but at this moment, looking at this excited young soldier who seemed to have an injury on his leg, Captain Quine didn't mind. Instead, he asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
Salvey seemed to have realized that he was a bit rude just now and became a bit clear-headed. "Sir, that man saved my life a few days ago. At that time, I was executing a task and didn't have a chance to express my gratitude to him. Today, when I found his home, I found out that he was framed and sent to prison..."
Salvey briefly explained what had happened to Captain Quinn.
Captain Quinn understood the feelings between soldiers very well, because he was also a soldier. For these soldiers, the most solid friendship in the world was exchanged with blood and life. No wonder this young soldier was so excited.
Captain Quinn had never imagined that this brat had such an experience. After saving a soldier of the Iron-Horn Army, Captain Quinn suddenly felt much better, and his face also relaxed.
"Corporal, calm down. That young man is not dead. He's in the headquarters!"
"Headquarters?" The other soldiers of the Norman Empire all became dumbfounded.
"Don't you know who you caught yesterday?" Captain Quinn asked the second lieutenant of the Military Administration.
The second lieutenant of the Military Administration stared at Captain Quinn with a confused look. "Did that man do something else besides saving a soldier of the Iron-Horn Army?"
"I don't know whether he did anything else or not, but I think Colonel Leibniz will ask you to explain to him soon!"
After saying this, looking at the Second Lieutenant's sudden change in expression, Captain Quinn found that his mood was completely refreshed. This time, the bastards of the Military Administration had almost screwed him over. He didn't want to solve the mystery so quickly, and it was better for the bastards of the Military Administration to worry about him.
The others looked confused, not knowing why Zhang Tie would be in the headquarters of No. 39 Division at this time. However, now that they knew that Zhang Tie was not dead, Salvey and the other two finally became reassured.
...
In the Zhang family, Zhang Tie's case was a major event, but in the eyes of the Military Administration and Captain Quine, it was just something that almost or might cause them to be in trouble. However, when it came to Colonel Leibniz, the commander of No. 39 Mixed Division of the Iron-Horn Army of the Norman Empire, it became an interesting trifle.
Not until four hours later did Leibniz's adviser seize the chance to make a brief report about this event to Leibniz before lunch. Zhang Tie's case was summarized by the adviser in less than 100 words. In only half a minute. That was all. The information in those 100 words included Zhang Tie's family background, the reason why Samira had accused Zhang Tie, how Zhang Tie had saved Salvey, and everything that had happened since Zhang Tie was arrested yesterday.
Colonel Leibniz picked up the delicate white porcelain teacup and took a sip of tea before putting it down. In this short period of time, the adviser had already finished his report. He was waiting for his instruction on how to deal with this case.
"This brat is in the headquarters?"
"Yes!"
Colonel Leibniz felt that this case was very interesting. A teenager who had grown up in such a remote place like Blackhot City could actually receive the attention of the Battle God and have so many connections with his division. The whole case was interesting. When he returned to Nordinburg, this case would be a good topic to talk about at the cocktail party. Those noble ladies in Nordinburg would like to listen to such a legendary and interesting story that had happened in the countryside. Therefore, Colonel Leibniz stood up from his chair and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
Several minutes later, Colonel Leibniz saw Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie also saw this 50-odd middle-aged man in military uniform, who had a big belly, gray hair, and a delicate handlebar mustache. Colonel Leibniz only asked Zhang Tie one question, "Tell me, how could you light three burning points in a row and cultivate the Iron-Blood hidden strength in only two months?"
This question directly pointed to the key point. When Zhang Tie jumped into a black hole after being chased by wolves in the survival training, he was only a LV 1 warrior. Nobody knew when Zhang Tie had lit his Shrine burning point. Therefore, the only thing that could be confirmed was that Zhang Tie had lit three burning points in two months and promoted three levels in a row.
Knowing that he would have to face this question sooner or later, Zhang Tie had long been prepared for it.
"When I started the loner's survival training, I almost lit the second surging point. However, on the fifth day, it rained in the Wild Wolf Valley. When I was hiding from the rain, I was struck by a lightning bolt on the mountain. After waking up, I found that I could light my surging points much faster than before. Additionally, my physical strength had also increased a lot. Additionally, my Iron-Blood Fist had also made rapid progress!"
Zhang Tie's answer made Colonel Leibniz very satisfied. In Colonel Leibniz's eyes, this was the only reasonable explanation. Although it was rare for one's body to mutate after being struck by lightning bolts, it was not new. In the medical field, there was even a special term for those who gained various strange abilities after being struck by lightning bolts — — Acquired Lightning-Stroke Savant Syndrome!
Colonel Leibniz felt that Zhang Tie's answer made the story he was going to imagine more interesting. Although there were very few people who could form the Iron-Blood hidden strength, there were about 200 people in the entire No. 39 Division who had this ability. Therefore, Zhang Tie's ability was not rare at all. Even if a LV 4 warrior had some special experiences and formed the Iron-Blood hidden strength, he would not be noticed by Colonel Leibniz. However, in the entire army of the Norman Empire, no commander or general would complain about having too many people who were favored by the Battle God.
"Lucky little guy, I now announce that you have been recruited by the Iron-Horn Army of the Norman Empire. According to the laws of the Norman Empire, you are now a member of No. 39 Division. In the army of the Norman Empire, all the lucky ones who are favored by the Battle God will start their brilliant military career from the rank of second lieutenant. Therefore, you are now the youngest second lieutenant in No. 39 Division..." Colonel Leibniz felt that this idea was really great. It would make the story he was going to tell in Nordinburg more splendid and attractive, make him more magnificent in the eyes of those noble ladies, and make them unable to find any fault with him. After saying this, Colonel Leibniz turned around and told his adviser beside him, "In the afternoon, take him to go through the enlistment formalities and let him enter the Iron-Blood Camp. Find him some subordinates who are good at fighting. Don't let this little guy die after only one fight..."
After saying this, Colonel Leibniz stood up and prepared to leave, ignoring Zhang Tie's dumbfounded expression. However, when he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and turned around, asking, "Oh, lucky little guy, what's your name..."
"Zhang Tie..."
Colonel Leibniz repeated it twice in a low voice, as if he wanted to remember this name.
Even after Colonel Leibniz had left, Zhang Tie was still dumbfounded. 'Second lieutenant, I'm already a second lieutenant of the Norman Empire...'
