It was not the rosy glow at dawn, but the big fire in Eschyle City.
After almost one night's galloping, Zhang Tie and his Thor's Hammer finally arrived at the periphery of Eschyle City before the sunrise of the next day.
After 11 hours of non-stop galloping along the 1,000-kilometer journey, even the powerful xiphodon was very tired at this time.
In the cold air of the wilderness, the over 5,000 xiphodons that had been running for a whole night were like over 5,000 red-hot iron pots that had been poured with a ladle of cold water. Each xiphodon was steaming hot.
This was a small hillside over 20 km away in the northwest of Eschyle City. A clear brook was flowing down the hillside. Even though Zhang Tie was very anxious, he had to stop Thor's Hammer and take a rest here so as to deal with the fiercer battle later on.
Although it looked cool to rush to Eschyle City from thousands of miles away, it was a great challenge for both cavalries and xiphodons. Cavalries could stand it; however, xiphodons were very tired. If they didn't take a proper rest, they would definitely affect the battle ability of Thor's Hammer.
"Let's take a rest for half an hour. We will set off in half an hour!"
After Zhang Tie issued the order, all the cavalries jumped off their xiphodons silently. They didn't take a rest; instead, they helped their xiphodons to relax and recover their energy rapidly. This was a skill that cavalries of xiphodons had to master. It was a set of massage skills for xiphodons that were summarized by cavalries of huge bear tribe after hundreds of years of practice. With this set of massage skills, xiphodons could recover their physical strength and running ability rapidly.
Of course, Zhang Tie didn't know this set of massage skills. However, he had his own method. After jumping off his xiphodons, Zhang Tie stood in front of xiphodons and put his hand on its body. At the same time, he locked onto its stomach with his powerful spiritual energy. After that, he poured 6 vials of all-purpose medicament into his xiphodons from Castle of Black Iron.
Zhang Tie learned this skill from Heller when he pretended to be a psychic in the underground space. Additionally, if the opponent's body was relaxed enough, the substances "transported" from Castle of Black Iron could penetrate into the opponent's cell wall in scattered form, Zhang Tie could directly pour water, all-purpose medicament and recovery medicament from Castle of Black Iron into the opponent's stomach.
Therefore, Zhang Tie created another awe-inspiring "miracle" — — he could cure people only by touching them. Zhang Tie could make people recover.
Of course, those people on his side noticed Zhang Tie's caress of xiphodons. However, they didn't care about it. When Zhang Tie left the xiphodons and climbed to the top of the hillside with some people to observe the situation in Eschyle City in the distance, a bodyguard who was responsible for taking care of Zhang Tie's xiphodons walked over here and wanted to massage it. However, he found that xiphodons seemed to have recovered rapidly. Therefore, the bodyguard became amazed...
Zhang Tie climbed to the top of the hillside and watched the big fire in Eschyle City in the distance. He clenched his fists tightly, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes. Zhang Tie knew that people were dying in Eschyle City every second.
If he was alone here, Zhang Tie would definitely rush towards Eschyle City. However, as the commander of Thor's Hammer, he had to be responsible for those who had entrusted their lives to him. He could not let those fighters who trusted him fall into despair because of his hot-bloodedness and impulsiveness.
Therefore, even though Eschyle City was covered with blood, Thor's Hammer had to take a rest here for half an hour.
At this moment, Zhang Tie finally understood that a merciful person could not command an army. Because in this position, no matter what decision he made, he would always be supported by many lives.
Clenching his fists tightly, Zhang Tie closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes with a decisive look.
Roslav, Waajid and the other generals of Thor's Hammer followed Zhang Tie and watched the city in the distance where numerous people were wailing in the fire with a very solemn look.
With a loud boom, Iron Bear Castle was destroyed by an alchemist's bomb. Spencer clan suffered a great loss as the clan command center was paralyzed at once. Nobody knew how many people of Spencer clan were killed in that loud boom. It was said that elites of Spencer clan were having a meeting in Iron Bear Castle when Iron Bear Castle was destroyed by an alchemist's bomb. Closely after that, a lot of demonized puppets appeared in Eschyle City, turning this city into a hell.
It was worth mentioning that the first demonized puppets were at least 80,000 city guards in Eschyle City. However, nobody knew how many commoners in Eschyle City were turned into demonized puppets.
This was the reason why Zhang Tie rushed here at full speed. The appearance of demonized puppets indicated that demons or Three-eye Association were involved in it.
There were two most important questions in front of them. First, they didn't know how many demonized puppets were in Eschyle City and the current situation in the city; second, they didn't know whether those demonized puppets were controlled by puppet worms. After experiencing the event in Heavens Cold City, Zhang Tie knew clearly how terrifying demonized puppets were. If demonized puppets were controlled, it would be even more terrifying.
Right then, under the gaze of everybody on the top of the hill, a team of about 50 cavalries rushed here from afar in a flag of huge bear tribe. After a short while, they arrived at the foot of the hillside.
After receiving the intelligence from Eschyle City last night, Zhang Tie had ordered the vanguard of huge bear tribe to rush to Eschyle City and save as many people as possible. Therefore, the vanguard of 3000 cavalries of huge bear tribe might have arrived here a couple of hours ago.
The leader of the cavalries was soon brought in front of Zhang Tie and the other generals of Thor's Hammer.
"Clan head!" At the sight of Zhang Tie, the leader of the cavalries with a shrewd look immediately stood at attention as he raised his right hand and pounded on his left chest before giving a military salute to Zhang Tie.
"How's the situation in Eschyle City?" Zhang Tie straightforwardly asked about the military intelligence.
"It's very chaotic. The entire city is in chaos. People are killing people everywhere. Our team has just arrived at Eschyle City for less than 2 hours. Because the situation in the city was too chaotic, we didn't involve in it. Under the command of the vanguard leader, we seized the north gate of Eschyle City and opened it, allowing people to escape out of the city!"
"How many demonized puppets are there in the city?"
"At least 600,000 people, including at least 150,000 regular soldiers of Eschyle City. Demonized puppets are killing people everywhere in the city. Some residents and some garrisons of Eschyle City are fighting those demonized puppets. Spencer clan has already lost its control over this city. Everybody is fighting for themselves!"
"Are those demonized puppets as highly organized as an army? Do they seem to be under the command of someone?"
"Our vanguard has already fought some demonized puppets. Those demonized puppets are very crazy and hard to be killed. However, they are not organized at all. I feel that they are just killing people around them based on their instinct!"
Zhang Tie thought for a few seconds, "Do you know the place with the most demonized puppets in Eschyle City?"
"According to some residents who escaped out of Eschyle City, the place with the most demonized puppets is near the Iron Bear Castle of Spencer clan!"
'Near the Iron Bear Castle? ' After thinking about the meaning of this message carefully, Zhang Tie sighed inside, 'Spencer clan is over. Iron Bear Castle and its surroundings are the residence of most of the members of Spencer clan. However, Iron Bear Castle has been razed to the ground by an alchemist's bomb. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of demonized puppets are pouring in the vicinity. It's really a question how many members of Spencer clan could survive such a catastrophe.'
Although he didn't see it, Zhang Tie was almost sure that the parent worm of the puppet worm died in Iron Bear Castle. Perhaps the loud boom caused the parent worm to die too when Iron Bear Castle was destroyed. Therefore, so many demonized puppets gathered near Iron Bear Castle.
"Well, I see. Go back and tell your vanguard leader to control the north gate of Eschyle City. Thor's Hammer will arrive soon!"
"Yes, sir!" The team leader pounded his chest towards Zhang Tie once again out of excitement before leaving the top of the mountain rapidly.
Zhang Tie looked at those generals of Thor's Hammer. After hearing the team leader's words, those generals of Thor's Hammer didn't look worried; instead, they looked excited as their eyes gleamed.
The catastrophe of Spencer clan and the chaotic situation in Eschyle City were a rare opportunity for the huge bear tribe.
"Take out the map of Eschyle City!"
Closely after Zhang Tie's words, an adviser unscrewed a metal cylinder and took out the map of Eschyle City.
As for the tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness, as long as the army set out, the map of the other tribes' settlements would be carried by each troop. Especially in Eschyle City, they only needed to spend some silver coins to buy the map of Eschyle City. On the basis of the original map, they only needed to dispatch people to walk around Eschyle City.
