After staying in that mountain range for 10 days, Zhang Tie left that mountain range.
In the past 10 days, Zhang Tie participated in more than 10 battles in the mountain range alone and chopped off dozens of heads. In the last battle, after ambushing a team of fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire, Zhang Tie in the incarnation of Fred "surprisingly" found that he could light all the other surging points besides his spine. After making this discovery, Zhang Tie left that mountain range and prepared to report back to the camp according to the request of Sword of Brilliance.
The battles in the past 10 days were needless to be described. Because those battles were not even acting for Zhang Tie; neither were they thrilling. As a sage-level knight, even though he was weak, he still pretended to be a LV 9 fighter and fought demon lackeys on the same level or even lower level. Zhang Tie didn't feel any sense of achievement at all.
The only thing that was a bit "thrilling" was that Zhang Tie discovered a LV 11 battle master of Sacred Alliance Empire in the mountain. After considering it for a few times, Zhang Tie felt that it was a bit unreasonable for him to kill a LV 11 battle master by two levels as he was just a LV 9 battle master. Therefore, Zhang Tie finally "escaped" from the chase of the LV 11 battle master by "jumping off the cliff" with the determination of "dying rather than surrendering" …
Two days after that "escaping by jumping off the cliff", Zhang Tie found that he might have made a breakthrough and could "finally" light the surging points outside his spine. Therefore, he ended the 10-day "outing" in the mountain range and entered the next step of his plan.
Feinan City was 230 miles away from Coldwater City. It guarded the flank of Coldwater City. Compared to Coldwater City which had already been in ruins, Feinan City was still in the hands of allied human forces. The entire Feinan City was a military camp. If the army of Sacred Alliance Empire wanted to occupy Feinan City, they could only pass through the lofty mountains in the north of Feinan City and drive their army to the foot of Feinan City; after completely occupying Coldwater City, they could march eastward from Coldwater City so as to threaten Feinan City.
Neither of the two ways was easy for Sacred Alliance Empire. Each step forward had to be paid at the cost of blood.
Coldwater City had already been in ruins; however, the two parties were still scrambling for it. In the mountain in the north of Feinan City, the army couldn't enter it; neither could any heavy equipment enter it. Therefore, the mountain became another battlefield. Those who could fight the enemy in there were all real elites. Fighters above LV 6 became the protagonists in that mountain. Outside the mountain, allied human forces had arranged a defense line composed of a series of battle fortresses. Even if the elites of Sacred Alliance Empire could break out of that mountain, they would also be badly battered by the bloodthirsty sawtooth composed of steel battle fortresses.
…
"Stop …"
In a pass in the south of that mountain range, a tall grey steel battle fortress was standing, blocking the throat of that mountain range. On the morning of July 29, the sun had just risen. When Zhang Tie drilled out of the woods with dew all over his body, he had attracted the attention of the defenders of the battle fortress when he was 500 m away from that pass. Some powerful steam ballistas on the battle fortress had been silently aiming at Zhang Tie. After Zhang Tie pulled off the hood of his field cloak, revealing his bearded, weather-beaten face, the defenders of the battle fortress became a bit relaxed; however, they were still gazing at Zhang Tie who was walking towards the battle fortress.
When Zhang Tie was about 70 m away from the battle fortress, he saw a red line on the ground. Closely after that voice drifted from the battle fortress, Zhang Tie stopped outside that red line.
"Report your designation and passcode!" A commissioned officer in crimson military uniform shouted towards Zhang Tie from behind the battlement of arrows on the steel battle fortress.
"The No. 76 team of the third battalion of Sword of Brilliance of Sacred Light Empire dispatched to Hicks Peninsula. Passcode, Light in Mist …" Zhang Tie replied in a muffled voice.
The commissioned officer might be going to check the passcode left by the No. 76 team. After half a minute, that commissioned officer's voice drifted from the battle fortress, "The designation and passcode are correct. You're allowed to pass …"
After confirming Zhang Tie's identity, they moved their ballistas away from Zhang Tie. All the defenders of the battle fortress watched Zhang Tie who was walking towards the battle fortress with a bit complex and respectful look.
3 weeks ago, 6 people entered the mountain range from here. 3 weeks later, only one of them came back. Needless to say, it was Zhang Tie's luck and ability that he could come back.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Tie was a survivor on the battlefield as he could smell the bloody smell and hear the battle sounds all over his body.
Zhang Tie walked towards the battle fortress. No matter how he looked, he was very calm inside. As he walked, he kept glancing at the weapons on the battle fortress with narrowed eyes as he sighed with emotions inside.
War was really the catalyst for new technologies and achievements. Take this field cloak which was processed from the body fluid of mutated cuttlefish as an instance. When Zhang Tie left, none of the human troops, including the troops of Taixia Country, had such a set of equipment. Zhang Tie had not imagined that such a set of equipment had been matched to elite fighters of frontline troops on the Western Continent after over 3 decades.
The weapons on the battle fortress in front of him were much sharper than when he left. The combination of new alloy materials and rune technology increased the storage capacity of the pressure-storage tanks of some steam-driven weapons, which led to a great increase in the power of the weapons. The invention of fiery oil enabled this battle fortress to have a second set of backup power system and some formidable fiery oil incendiary weapons.
If not controlling the air supremacy, demons or demon lackeys would have to bleed twice as much as that 30 years ago. However, if they controlled the air supremacy, they could turn this battle fortress into a pile of scrap iron and a battalion of fighters in the battle fortress into ashes with a one-ton heavy incendiary bomb.
Unconsciously, air cavalries were becoming more and more important in wars.
Zhang Tie looked up at the sky …
As was imagined, a team of battle eagles was hovering in the sky, protecting the battle fortress and monitoring the movements above the mountain range …
