It was bloody with a threatening killing intent.
Watching this team walking out of the city, all the people who escaped out of the north gate of Eschyle City watched this team with awe and gratitude. Many of them silently gave way to them with tears in their eyes. Everybody knew that without this powerful cavalry, they might not be able to escape out of Eschyle City.
Due to the impact of Thor's Hammer, the other five closed city gates of Eschyle City were opened one after another. All the demonized puppets near the five city gates were completely exterminated by Zhang Tie's movement tactic. With Thor's Hammer opening roads and exterminating those demonized puppets on the six main roads of the city, a lot of residents in Eschyle City escaped out of the city through the opened city gates by seizing the escape routes opened by Thor's Hammer.
Among these people who escaped out of the city, there were even some organized teams of city guards of Eschyle City.
Based on the population and strength of Thor's Hammer, Zhang Tie knew that he could not take care of each street and each residential area of the city which covered over 400 sq km. However, he had indeed exerted the power of Mjolnir to the greatest extent and created conditions for those who wanted to escape from the city as much as possible.
They started to march rapidly last night. Until now, all the cavalries and xiphodons of Thor's Hammer and xiphodons could only rest for half an hour before dawn. Plus the 5 hours of continuous high-intensity battles in the city, all the cavalries and xiphodons of Thor's Hammer had been very tired at 12 pm.
The temporary camp of Thor's Hammer was over 200 m away from the north gate. It was close to the north gate tower and a section of the city wall which had been controlled by the vanguard of the huge bear tribe. This place was an important material storage warehouse of the city guards of Eschyle City. It was very spacious.
There were over 300 garrisons here. However, since last night, the series of great changes in the city made the garrisons flurried. They didn't receive any order. Therefore, they could only guard here. Watching Zhang Tie leading the Thor's Hammer rushing here and announcing that this place had been expropriated, the military officer only considered for a few seconds before opening the gate of the warehouse, allowing the cavalries of Thor's Hammer to rush in.
Soon, the cavalrymen's feet were back on the ground. The battle report of Mjolnir came out.
Throughout the morning's battle, 278 of Mjolnir's men had suffered light injuries. Twenty-four of them were slightly injured, but it did not affect their ability to fight. Three of them were heavily injured and could no longer fight. They were currently being treated and were out of danger. The three teams of Thor's Hammer killed about 80,000 to 100,000 demonized puppets in total, including over 30,000 regular soldiers of Eschyle City.
No matter how one looked at it, this was an incomparably glorious victory that almost no one could have imagined. They had annihilated nearly a hundred thousand enemies without losing a single one of their own.
Roslav's voice quivered when he reported this military achievement to Zhang Tie. Of course, such a great achievement was caused by the sharp difference in strength between demonized puppets and xiphodon cavalries. More importantly, it was caused by Zhang Tie's command and battle strategy. Although Thor's Hammer looked boring and mechanical, its rapid battle strategy in a specific environment exerted its great power. Otherwise, it was impossible for the 5,000 xiphodon cavalries to kill all of them, not to mention 100,000 demonized puppets, even 100,000 rabid dogs could not be killed without paying a great price.
When he received this battle report, Zhang Tie became stunned. To be honest, Zhang Tie had not received any systematic military and command training since he was born. The reason why he insisted on this tactic a few hours ago was based on his understanding about demonized puppets. At that moment, he only felt that this method should be useful. At least he could not think of any better tactic for Mjolnir's Hammer in such an environment.
Now, it seemed that this tactic was not only good, but also extraordinarily good.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Tie found that he had reached the supreme realm of military command mentioned by Chief of Staff Guderian when he was in Iron-Blood Camp, which was also the target that most of the commanders and generals strived for — — to complete the battle in the most advantageous way in the preset battlefield with the advantage of superior forces.
Although feeling very fatigued, Zhang Tie still picked himself up after hearing this battle report. He told Roslav, "Let's take a look outside..."
As for Zhang Tie, as long as he put down Mjolnir's Hammer, it would be the best rest. In order to maintain the high morale of the team, Zhang Tie had been waving Mjolnir's Hammer for the whole morning. The moment he relaxed, he felt that his arms were almost numb.
Even though he had eaten a lot of seven-strength fruits, Zhang Tie still felt a bit tired after such a high-intensity march and battle with Mjolnir's Hammer since last night.
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt like returning to Iron-Blood Camp.
When he walked out of the door, Zhang Tie stealthily "transported" two mouthfuls of all-purpose medicament into his mouth. After that, he swallowed it like swallowing saliva. After that, he felt that he gradually recovered.
An icy feeling fell onto Zhang Tie's face along with the north wind. Zhang Tie raised his head and found that snowflakes had started to fall from the gloomy sky.
'Is it snowing? '
Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and let the crystal snowflakes fall onto his hand.
'It's good that it snows. ' 'At least, those corpses in the city would not decay in a short period. ' 'If those corpses could not be dealt with in time, they might cause plagues nearby and kill more people. 'Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside.
Perhaps even God couldn't bear to see the city in front of him become even more miserable at this time.
...
When the heavy snow fell, Zhang Tie walked to the middle of those fighters.
As Zhang Tie walked towards here, all the tired fighters who were resting in this camp saw him coming towards them. They all picked themselves up from the ground silently; instead of saying anything, they just watched Zhang Tie with their eyes. Some of them couldn't stand pounding their chests to express their gratitude.
Zhang Tie's brilliant military achievement spread over the entire Mjolnir's Hammer at this moment.
Watching those admiring eyes, Zhang Tie knew that... Zhang Tie knew that he was the regimental commander of Mjolnir's Hammer. Not until this moment was he fully accepted and supported by all the fighters of Mjolnir's Hammer. Before this, the fighters of Mjolnir's Hammer accepted the prophecy of Elzida rather than Zhang Tie.
No matter what the prophecy was, Zhang Tie knew that only commanders and generals who could win victories and keep their subordinates alive could win the love and support of fighters. 'If I perform too lousy, sooner or later... ' Just like how a black sheep would squander millions of gold coins in the bank, he would also squander all the resources that Elzida had left for him, including the magical halo above his head and the trust of his warriors.
Zhang Tie walked around the fighters of Mjolnir's Hammer and paid a visit to those wounded and heavily wounded fighters. After confirming that those fighters had been properly settled and were safe, Zhang Tie walked out of the resting room of the wounded.
"Open up the warehouse here and see if there's anything that our people can use. Distribute it to the soldiers first!" Zhang Tie told those people on his side as he walked, "Warm clothes, tents and food. Ensure the supply of Mjolnir's Hammer and vanguard. After that, dispatch people to check other places outside the city. If there's such a material warehouse in Eschyle City, expropriate and occupy it. Count the materials inside and prepare to distribute them to the refugees!"
Zhang Tie didn't know how many people could he save. At this moment, he could only try his best.
"Yes, sir!"
"Oh, call that garrison officer here. As we have something to deal with in Eschyle City, it's better for him to deal with it. These days, we don't have spare manpower to deal with other things. It's nothing different than seeking for death if we throw these people into the city. However, they could still play a role in other places!"
After Mjölnir took over the material reserve warehouse, the more than 300 guards stationed here were disarmed and placed under house arrest by Mjölnir.
After hearing Zhang Tie's order, someone soon brought the garrison officer here.
It was a middle-aged man at his 50s with the rank of captain. He looked very mature and honest. He was only a captain at his 50s. Additionally, he was assigned to guard this warehouse. No matter where he was, he was always not satisfied with his life. Additionally, he was relatively honest.
That man also knew Zhang Tie's status. It was out of his imagination that Zhang Tie wanted to see him. Therefore, he looked very nervous as sweat oozed out of his forehead. He even dared not look straight into Zhang Tie's eyes.
Don't bully honest people. This was the principle that Zhang Tie's mom told him since he was young. Therefore, Zhang Tie treated this honest man more kindly.
"Take a seat, captain, what's your name?"
"I... I'm Cruyff!"
"Do you have any family members in Eschyle City?"
"My family members live outside the city; however... my brother's family members live in the city!" Captain Cruyff hesitated for a second before saying.
"Captain Cruyff, I believe you've already known what happened in Eschyle City. I will make it short. You might not be able to determine the future of this city. However, there's a task that could help many residents in Eschyle City and might save a lot of people. Meanwhile, it's not life-threatening for you. Would you like to do that?"
After being silent for a second, Captain Cruyff raised his head and glanced at Zhang Tie's sincere eyes before nodding, "I like to do that!"
...
After a few minutes, Cruyff left with his 300-odd subordinates...
