"As the vanguard of Black Armor Army, the 117th corps, the 15th corps and Black Armor Battlefortress have already advanced to Ningyu Prefecture in the north of Huanzhou Province, which is 5,800 miles away from Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. Some demon troops are still resisting in Ningyu Prefecture. It's estimated that the vanguard of Black Armor Army would clear the small demon troops in Ningyu Prefecture in 2-3 weeks. By then, the vanguard of Black Armor Army would advance to Fiery Field Prefecture …"
"As the vanguard of God's Will Army, the 215th corps and God's Will Battle Fortress have already advanced to Fengyi Prefecture in the south of Huanzhou Province, which is 6,300 miles away from Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. Yesterday, the vanguard of God's Will Army discovered a team of 15 demon knights in Fengyi Mountain Range in Fengyi Prefecture. The highest level of the team is an earth knight. The knights of God's Will Army have already fought that team of demon knights. After killing 5 demon knights, they have already routed the team and are chasing after them. Just now, 3 teams of 60 knights led by 9 earth knights in Xuanyuan Battle Fortress have already flown towards Fengyi Prefecture and joined the encirclement of the team of demon knights …"
"As the vanguard of God's Will Army, the two corps of Zodiac Guards have already arrived at White Tiger Prefecture in Kangzhou Province, which is 2,400 miles away from Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. As the vanguard of God's Will Army always follows His Majesty, they encounter the least enemies. Over a few months, the knights of Zodiac Guards have not seen any demon knights …"
As Zhang Tie couldn't eliminate his fretfulness and restlessness, he directly came to the command center of the battle fortress and had people report the current situation of each corps to him.
The floor under Zhang Tie's foot was made of transparent high-strength crystal glass. The map of the entire Taixia Country was right in the lobby. Numerous staff officers were busy gathering various information onto the machine sand table. As long as Zhang Tie lowered his head, he would be able to see the entire battlefield clearly.
Zhang Tie was standing on the bank of Weishui River on the sand table. On the sand table, there was a huge forward arrowhead. Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province and Ningzhou Province on the left and right flank of this huge arrowhead were advancing towards Weishui River and Helan Mountain Range. The four huge arrowheads lined up and coordinated with each other. They were 5,000-8,000 miles away from Zhang Tie's foot.
The battle progressed smoothly. In the current situation, the Demon Race had no power to stop the five arrowheads from joining forces on the other side of the Wei River, and then crossing the Wei River into the Wu Province and the Yinzhou Province.
Lowering his head, Zhang Tie looked at the map under his feet as he paced back and forth with a slight frown. Although the intelligence reports of the armies were normal and overwhelming, Zhang Tie's restlessness didn't disappear; instead, it became more intense.
The one who was reporting the situation to Zhang Tie was a 20-odd handsome knight in military uniform. He looked a bit similar to Zhang Tie. This young military officer was called Zhang Yuteng, the son of Zhang Chengting and one of Zhang Tie's grandsons. At this moment, many young knights of Jinwu Palace had also joined the other armies. They followed Zhang Tie to recover lost territories and make meritorious deeds. As Zhang Yuge was meticulous, knowledgeable and talented in military affairs, Zhang Tie directly kept Zhang Yuteng on his side as his close attendant so that Zhang Yuteng could learn from him.
"How's the situation in the Lion Fortress?" Zhang Tie raised his head and asked.
After recovering the Military Province, the Lion Fortress had already entered the Earth-elements Realm from Military Province all the way to the entrance of the first abyss in the Earth-elements Realm. They were guarding the Earth-elements Realm in case of demons playing the same trick again. Besides Du Guyi, the demon suppression general, Zuoqiu Mingyue was also in the Lion Fortress in the Earth-elements Realm.
"Demon knights in the first abyss are constantly harassing the Lion Fortress. However, as they're small, they couldn't pose any threat to the Lion Fortress at all!"
"When's the last time that the Lion Fortress met a heavenly demon knight?"
"4 months ago!"
"Where's the allied human forces on the Western Continent?"
"The allied human forces on the Western Continent have already crossed the Gradis Mountain Range. Yesterday, the vanguard of the allied human forces had already conquered Tanding City, an important city in the central region of Sacred Alliance Empire. The defense line of Sacred Alliance Empire has been full of loopholes!"
Although it was all good news, Zhang Tie didn't feel happy for some reason.
"Well, you can leave now!" Zhang Tie waved his hand and let Zhang Yuteng leave, "I'm going to enter secluded cultivation these days. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Yuteng gave a military salute to Zhang Tie neatly before walking towards the door.
As for Zhang Tie, the so-called important thing that could disturb him was at least the reappearance of a heavenly demon knight on the battlefield. All the others were nothing. Everybody in the battle fortress was crystal clear about this point.
When Zhang Yuteng was going to open the door, Zhang Tie suddenly said, "Yuteng, if you don't plan to marry that girl, you'd better not let others misunderstand you. Descendants of Zhang Family can be dissolute, but they can't cheat any woman. If a woman wants to stay with a man, she must want something. Some women can be bought with money; some women can't be bought with money. Before you sleep with any woman, you have to confirm whether you can give her what she wants or not. If you can't give her, don't touch her. It's like ordering dishes in a restaurant. If you can't afford it, don't order it. Don't think about eating and running. This is the least a man should do."
This is the least a man should do. "Zhang Yuteng stopped his footsteps at once as he turned around with a bit embarrassed look," Grandpa, I will bear that in mind! "
Zhang Tie nodded as he let Zhang Yuteng leave.
As Zhang Tie's grandson, Zhang Yuteng came from a prominent family, was young, promising and handsome. Such a person would always be the focus of women wherever he was, even in Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. Zhang Tie was very clear about his grandson's movements in the battle fortress. When knights hunted demons outside the battle fortress, Zhang Yuteng also became the hunting target of many people in the battle fortress. Those tender traps were also a kind of training for Zhang Yuteng who had just promoted to a knight and didn't have too many love experiences.
After Zhang Yuteng left, Zhang Tie contacted Jinwu Palace and Xuanyuan Hill. After confirming that everything was normal in Jinwu Palace and Xuanyuan Hill, Zhang Tie then sat on the chair and crossed his hands on his lower abdomen. Eyes slightly closed, he started to think about it.
Recently, the battlefields had been too smooth, which was out of Zhang Tie's imagination. Others might feel happy about such a victory; however, Zhang Tie couldn't feel happy at all. Because Zhang Tie knew that demons' means and battle potentials were much greater than what he had seen.
Even though Zhang Tie had destroyed three demon camps and killed 4 sage-level demon knights and over 100,000 demon knights, demons would never accept the failure without any means. Given demons' madness and temperament, if they were destined to fail in this holy war, they would definitely launch a counterattack crazily at this moment. Like in the previous two holy wars, when demons couldn't conquer their enemies, they could only try their best to destroy their enemies. This was the style of demons.
Demons still had many means that they could use.
Since the beginning of the holy war, the demon prince had not appeared yet, which indicated that demons had not fully released their war potential.
Demons had not used puppet worms on a large scale in Taixia Country yet. If demons were destined to fail, they would not have any scruples about using puppet worms even though there was the existence of Moon-moons Poisonous Miasma. Conversely, demons might increase the use of puppet worms due to the existence of Moon-moons Poisonous Miasma in order to reduce the population of humans as much as possible and turn more places into barren land for humans. Even though demons couldn't use puppet worms in Taixia Country, they still didn't use puppet worms in the territory of Heavens Reaching Empire; instead, they left those territories to Zhang Tie. That was worth pondering …
'The number of demon knights and sage-level knights is definitely not limited to those in the three demon camps. In the underground abyss, demons should be able to mobilize a great number of sage-level knights and demon knights.
Before the Devil Race went completely crazy, how could they be willing to accept defeat?
'Therefore, demons must have some trump cards that they haven't used yet; however, I don't know them yet …'
'This is the source of my fretfulness and restlessness when I'm close to victory.
'What's the trump card of demons? What else could make demons feel that they could make a comeback even if I recover the entire Eastern Continent? '
Zhang Tie was in meditation …
