Zuoqiu Mingyue didn't misjudge Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie left Youzhou Province for demons.
After killing Old Man Taiyi and Grand Master Shenkong, the conspiracy of the three major sects to establish Imperial Alliance would be exposed to the public. In the future, how to deal with the three major sects and those major clans which were closely related to the three major sects would be a severe test for Taixia Country. In this process, if not handled properly, Taixia Country might be in turmoil or even civil strife.
However, at this moment, the holy war between Taixia Country and demons was in full swing. Would demons just watch the turmoil in Taixia Country without taking any action?
Of course not!
Demons would not do nothing; instead, they would add fuel to the fire. They couldn't wait to make Taixia Country more chaotic by all means.
Therefore, if Taixia Country wanted to solve the threat posed by Imperial Alliance and the three top sects at the lowest cost, they had to give a destructive blow to the demon army in Taixia Country. Demons would not add more troubles to Taixia Country. Additionally, by striking demons, they could create a good external condition for Taixia Country to completely clean up the malignant tumor of Imperial Alliance. It was the first and the second.
Not everyone could see the process that Zhang Tie killed Old Man Taiyi and Grand Master Shenkong. Neither did the three top sects gather all of their forces in Youzhou Province. Even after losing Old Man Taiyi and Grand Master Shenkong, some people in Imperial Alliance and the three top sects might still have a fluke mind. However, if Zhang Tie gave a destructive blow to the demon army at this moment, he would completely shatter their fluke mind and let them know that as long as they dared resist Zhang Tie and stir up Taixia Country, they would die no matter how many forces they could gather. Additionally, the greater the trouble, the faster they would die. Only by being obedient and cooperating with Zhang Tie could they survive. As long as those people had such a clear understanding, Taixia Country would not be in chaos anymore.
Now, tens of thousands of common fighters were sacrificing for the country in the frontline of the war between Taixia Country and demons every day. As long as Zhang Tie could solve the core high-end forces of demons one day earlier, even 2 hours earlier, the power balance between humans and demons in Taixia Country would be reversed. As a result, numerous fighters of Taixia Country could be avoided.
After leaving Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie had activated his invisible shen bead and rushed towards Military Province in the west of Taixia Country silently at the speed of over 30,000 m per second.
This was Zhang Tie's maximal speed. After his spiritual energy and battle qi were mutated into various rainbow-like energies, Zhang Tie found that his full speed had increased by almost 40%.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was afraid that the general of demons in Taixia Country would respond to him as soon as he got the news that he was back. If so, the army of demon knights in the frontline would disperse and escape. That would be troublesome. Because of this concern, Zhang Tie didn't tell the others about his whereabouts when he left Youzhou Province.
If not that the three top sects had already reached Youzhou Province and Jinwu Palace was facing a very critical situation, Zhang Tie planned to deal with the army of demon knights before reuniting with his family members in Youzhou Province after returning to Taixia Country.
What Zhang Tie needed was a time difference.
'As I've made such a great noise in Youzhou Province, the general of demons must know that I'm back. However, it might take one or two hours for the general of demons to receive the news. After all, very few Hua people would like to surrender to demons. Additionally, Heavens Reaching Church has long been declining in Taixia Country these years. Its influence couldn't be matched by that when Zhang Tie came to Taixia Country. Even though Heavens Reaching Church still has some ears in Taixia Country, it would take a long time for them to deliver the news to the territory of demons.
'After knowing that I've come back and killed two sage-level knights in Taixia Country, would the general of demons retreat and order all the demon knights to disperse and escape?
'I don't think so!' Perhaps, even if the general of demons knew that I've come back, he would not make such an unimaginable decision in only a few hours. He would definitely hesitate, think about it and make a judgment. He would even negotiate with others and subordinates about how to deal with me who might rush to the frontline. In this way, he would win a few more hours for me.
'I need a few hours to arrive at Force Province from Youzhou Province. Actually, it's also the golden window for the main force of demon knights to escape. However, demons might not have such a vision and recognition. Before I close this window, they don't know how precious each second is for them.'
Zhang Tie was not afraid of the number of demon knights; he was afraid that demon knights would disperse.
Thankfully, over 90% of the demon knights were gathered in the encampments that demons had set in the occupied areas.
There were three encampments of demons, one in Liangzhou Province and the other in Anzhou Province. The two encampments were attacking the garrisons and knights of Taixia Country in Lingzhou Province, Lizhou Province and Tongzhou Province from the north and the south. The third encampment of demons was in Force Province, which was the largest rear encampment of demons. Over half of demon knights and powerhouses were gathered in their encampment in Force Province.
Although Force Province was far away from Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie's first target was the encampment of demons in Force Province.
After dealing with the encampment of demons in Force Province, Zhang Tie would block the two encampments of demons in Liangzhou Province and Anzhou Province from the rear and deal with them one by one. On the contrary, after dealing with the encampment of demons in Anzhou Province or Liangzhou Province, Zhang Tie might scare away the remaining demon knights. If all the demon knights dispersed at once, it would be hard for Zhang Tie to encounter such an opportunity in the future.
When Zhang Tie passed by Lingzhou Province and Tongzhou Province, he found that all the airports of air cavalries across Lingzhou Province and Tongzhou Province had been busy. Heavy bombers had been pulled out of the hangars and formed a rapid strike formation on the runways. Ammunition vehicles and supply vehicles were busy loading bombs for those bombers. Numerous ground crew and air cavalries were running on the ground in the field airports and air cavalries' bases as if their butts were on fire …
Besides air cavalries, the bases of field corps had been in an uproar as armored vehicles started to move towards the frontline one after another.
In the sky, the number of patrolling knights of the top four armies and Taixia Country was also abnormally large. These knights blocked the sky of the three provinces so as to prevent demons from discovering the abnormal movement of troops over here.
What a military god! Zhang Tie knew that Zuoqiu Mingyue had already known what he was going to do next …
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had flown over the frontline of Tongguan Pass. He saw rows of huge battle fortresses and fortresses in the sky and on the ground of the frontline of Hua people, which were as lofty as mountains and the Great Wall of Iron and Steel in the dark sky.
The Lion Fortress where Zhang Tie once stayed in the Earth-elements Realm was also in the frontline at Tongguan Pass.
After coming back, Zhang Tie had already known the reason why the Lion Fortress evacuated from the Earth-elements Realm — — 5 years after the battle at Yinhai Desert, demons opened a secret tunnel in the Earth-elements Realm, which could enable demon troops to bypass the Lion Fortress and enter Force Province. Being oppressed by the demon army, the Lion Fortress had to retreat from the Earth-elements Realm and return to the ground of Force Province to cover the evacuation of Taixia troops at Weishui River and Helan Mountain Range. As a result, the overall situation facing the western theater of operations of Taixia Country could hardly be maintained anymore. As a result, the army of Taixia Country had to retreat constantly. Over the past 20-odd years, the three military regions in the western part of Taixia Country had all fallen into the hand of the demon army. As a result, the territory of Heavens Reaching Empire also expanded …
However, at the same time, Zuoqiu Mingyue did one thing right, namely, he didn't leave humans to demons. With the policy of strengthening the defense and clearing the fields, demons gained nothing except land.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Flying in the sky, Zhang Tie could see faint flames and battle qi sporadically over 600 miles. Even in the evening, the fighters of both parties didn't stop fighting each other. The faint flames like fireflies were the death calls brought by inflammable grenades and inflammable bolts in the dark.
After entering the territory controlled by demons, the scattered flames and battle qi disappeared. Zhang Tie then saw demon camps one after another. Those demon camps were the encampments of the ground corps of demons. Those in the camps were all low-level demons.
Behind these demon camps, the greater part of the cities on the ground had been ruined. All the city-defense systems in the cities that couldn't be taken away had been destroyed. All the canals in the farmlands had been buried. Even the woods had been burned.
Zhang Tie saw some demon's battle fortresses which looked like weird trees in the sky. As the available resources on the earth's surface were very scarce, these demon's battle fortresses could barely maintain too many demon's battle fortresses.
The encampment of demons in Liangzhou Province appeared in Zhang Tie's vision, which was composed of 30 beehive-like air battle fortresses in the style of demons. Numerous wing demons and demon knights were flying here and there outside their encampment.
At the sight of the encampment of demons in Liangzhou Province, Zhang Tie became completely reassured. 'The general of demons indeed didn't order their encampment to retreat or disperse. Perhaps the general of demons hasn't received the news that I'm back yet.'
Only after half an hour, Zhang Tie had passed by Liangzhou Province and Lizhou Province and entered the territory of Force Province.
Previously, the territory of Force Province was covered with battle fortresses. But now, the territory of Force Province was covered with ugly demon battle fortresses.
Only after a short while, the encampment of demons in Force Province appeared in front of Zhang Tie. Compared to the encampment of demons in Liangzhou Province, this encampment of demons in Force Province was 3 times larger than that of Liangzhou Province. Over 100 beehive demon's battle fortresses were floating in the sky over 2,000 m above the ground like a huge mountain range hiding in the dark, which was awe-inspiring.
On the ground, there were countless camps of the Demon Race. The camps stretched for thousands of miles, like huge cities.
Numerous wing demons flew around the encampment of the demon army one after another and formed guards.
In the encampment of demons in Force Province, demon knights were like flies on rotting yaks' carcasses on the prairie in summer. At the first glance, Zhang Tie had seen at least 1,000 demon knights entering and exiting those holes in the encampment.
There were over 70,000 demon knights in this encampment. Within 600 square miles, there were over 500 demon corps. It was said that two abyss monarchs of demons were garrisoning here …
Zhang Tie didn't rush over there; instead, he stopped 600 miles away from the encampment of demons in Force Province. Licking his lips, he instantly rushed into the endless high altitude using his terrifying spiritual energy. The two mysterious energies in the high altitude started to surge and gather under the control of Zhang Tie's spiritual energy like a flood that broke the gate of a reservoir …
