In the day or night, if he felt thirsty, he would pour a mouthful of all-purpose medicament or drink a mouthful of water. In this way, he could move forward about 500 km a day.
Zhang Tie was guided by a map of Blackson Humans Corridor and a compass.
In the east of Blackhot City, on the map, there was a wilderness covering more than 1,700 km. In the south of this wilderness, there was only one city on the 17 stars flag of Andaman Alliance — — Inderhak. Like Blackhot City, this city was annexed by the Norman Empire and then destroyed in the demonized puppets disaster. Besides this city, there was no other human city in the wilderness covering more than 1,700 km. Therefore, it looked pretty desolate. Except for the surroundings of the city, there was basically no human habitation.
Zhang Tie's first target was not Indhak, but a human country in the east of this wilderness — — the Republic of Symbian.
The Republic of Symbian was a country with a land area of over 2 million square kilometers, bordering a small part of the Norman Empire. This country had over 30 cities. Although it was a bit weaker than the Norman Empire, it was much more powerful than the former Andaman Alliance.
After passing by the Republic of Symbian, Zhang Tie would continue to pass by the territory of Cross Star Commercial Federation in the east and pass two small countries before arriving at the seaside. This was Zhang Tie's route.
The Sun Dynasty had already collapsed in the demonized puppets disaster. The road from south of Blackhot City back home had been blocked. Even though Zhang Tie had promoted to LV 9 these years, he still didn't think that he could defeat the demonized puppets alone. It was said that one of the main reasons why the Sun Dynasty collapsed so fast was that the two most powerful main corps of the Sun Dynasty, Eyes of Brilliance and Fury of Brilliance, had been demonized. In front of such a powerful force, a LV 9 fighter was nothing to be proud of.
Although the road in the east seemed less dangerous, it was not absolute. Because the Symbian Republic was only over 4,000 miles away from the exterminated Golan Empire on the map. 10 months ago, the super demon corps had already exterminated a large area of countries in the periphery of Golan Empire from Hurricane Plateau. The entire northeast of Blackson Humans Corridor had been collapsed. It was hard to say whether the vanguard of the super demon corps had already reached the Symbian Republic.
Running alone in the wilderness for three days, he killed a few low-level magical beasts that didn't open their eyes and gave himself two meals. On the fourth day. Zhang Tie saw many airships flying over this wilderness from south to north like a dark cloud covering the sky.
It was the first time for Zhang Tie to feel that airships could be as numerous as flies. They were all medium-large battle airships. There were at least thousands of them. Zhang Tie raised his head from the ground. Not until over 10 minutes later did the dark cloud disappear in front of Zhang Tie's eyes.
Watching these airships flying over him, Zhang Tie felt shocked inside. However, he didn't stop; instead, he continued to run forward. 2 hours later, Zhang Tie had moved forward over 60 km. At this moment, another dark cloud composed of airships flew over from north to south. There were hundreds of airships in this batch.
In the following 5 hours, Zhang Tie met three batches of such large-scale battle airships. Each batch contained at least 300-400 airships, over 1,000 airships. Each batch flew towards the north in a tidy formation.
In the evening, when the familiar fury-level battle airships flew over Zhang Tie's head in the glow of the setting sun, Zhang Tie's blood almost froze. Zhang Tie saw the symbol of the cloud-dragon pattern of Jinyun Country on the silver paint of those fury-level battle airships.
After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Tie continued to run towards the east.
1 hour later, Zhang Tie saw a railway, a train which was emitting dense smoke and the endless stream of people on one side of the railway.
One stream of people was coming from north to south, all of whom were old people, young people, women and kids. The other stream of people was coming from south to north, all of whom were soldiers in armor. The two parties just passed by each other silently. Zhang Tie could not see the end of the two trains.
The train on the railway was the same. The train from north to south was packed with people. There was no space on the roof or the front of the train. People were crawling on the train like ants. Seeing such a train, those who were walking on the road all cast envious glances at it.
By contrast, the train from south to north was filled with steam armored vehicles, steam tanks and military materials which were tightly covered by dark green waterproof tarpaulin.
Right in front of Zhang Tie, two trains were passing by each other towards the north and the south at the same time. There was a shocking bloody slogan on the carriages of the two trains.
— — Men go north, women go south.
Standing on the roadside, Zhang Tie watched the surging stream of people. Many soldiers who were silently walking towards the north and old people, young people, women and kids who were walking towards the south couldn't help but glance at him when they passed by him. Zhang Tie felt that those people were looking at him in a strange way. He even glanced at himself and found nothing special. Why were they looking at him in that strange way?
Before Zhang Tie figured out the reason, a military officer wearing the rank of captain with a white mark of military police on his sleeve had already walked towards Zhang Tie with some soldiers with a gloomy face. They immediately surrounded Zhang Tie.
That military officer stared at Zhang Tie with a contemptuous and icy look. "You coward, I don't care what's your name or which troop did you sneak out from. Now, you have two choices. One is to be treated as a deserter and be executed by me on the spot by chopping off your head. The second choice is to return to the frontline. Even if you die, you have to die like a man. Make your choice! "
Hearing this captain's words, Zhang Tie became stunned. He looked to his left and right and found that there was no one else around. He then pointed to his nose and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Could it be that there are other deserters here?" the captain asked with a sneer.
"You must be mistaken. I'm not a deserter. I'm just passing by!" Zhang Tie said sincerely.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, not only the captain, but also the captain. Even the surrounding soldiers laughed. Although they were laughing, there was a hint of coldness in their laughter.
"Sir. Although this guy is a coward, he's humorous. These days, we've caught so many deserters, but this guy made up the most creative excuse! "A soldier who was surrounding Zhang Tie told that captain with a smile." What a coward! "Zhang Tie didn't know what to say.
"Since three years ago. All the countries in the north of Kalay Mountain Range of Blackson Humans Corridor started to carry out the red mobilization order. All the men above 16 years old and below 60 years old were forced to enlist into the army. They either joined the army or joined the reserve forces and logistics corps in the rear. As this place is close to the theater of the holy war, all the men within 2,000 miles who could still hold a weapon are here to join the war. The frontline is converging with dozens of countries across Blackson Humans Corridor. All the fighters of the Symbian Republic have started to converge here. You're just passing by? Are you here to enjoy the scenery? "That captain watched Zhang Tie icily as he exposed Zhang Tie's" lie "mercilessly.
After hearing this, Zhang Tie became speechless. This captain's reason was very good. Zhang Tie could not refute it at all. If he wanted to persuade this captain, Zhang Tie could not tell him everything about himself. However, even if he told him, nobody would believe him.
At the same time, Zhang Tie carefully observed those people who were leaving for the south. After a careful look, he found that the men among them were either grey-haired or kids. Zhang Tie finally realized how eye-catching his casual clothes were here.
According to this captain, if all the countries in the north of Kalay Mountain Range of Blackson Humans Corridor started to carry out the red mobilization order, if he wanted to pass by the Symbian Republic and the other small countries, he would have to face as many troubles as going south from Blackhot City.
If he went south from Blackhot City, the demonized puppets corps that he met would treat him as an alien and chop off his head. If he wanted to pass by these countries, the commoners and armies of these countries would also treat him as a deserter and chase him. 'Do I really have to kill so many people to return to Huaiyuan Prefecture? '
Various whims flashed across Zhang Tie's mind. When he recalled the airship of Jinyun Country that he had seen just now, Zhang Tie purposely glanced at the captured deserter and sighed regretfully, "Well, I will go back to the frontline. Just send me back to the encampment of Jinyun Country!"
That captain watched Zhang Tie seriously as he suddenly burst out into laughter, "It's good that you can think like this!"
...
Half an hour later, that captain drove Zhang Tie to a railway station. When a military train stopped, he told something to a military officer on the train before sending Zhang Tie into a carriage.
After a few minutes, the train started. Watching the train moving away, one of the military policemen finally couldn't stand asking that captain, "Sir, do we really send this coward to the encampment of Jinyun Country?"
"All the powerhouses dispatched by Jinyun Country could fight the demonized puppets corps are above LV 9 elite fighters under the command of the six major clans of Jinyun Country. How could they send such a coward? Do you think that I couldn't see through that guy's lie?" The captain sneered.
"Ahh, sir, where do you want to send him?"
"Such a coward is most suitable to be a cannon fodder in the vanguard of the theater of operations. If he could kill a demonized puppet, his life would be worthwhile!"
"Then who were the people in the carriage just now?"
"They're all condemned prisoners sent to the theater of operations by Cross Star Commercial Federation. They've just put on military uniforms. As long as they could survive one year in the vanguard, they would gain their freedom!"
"Ahh..."
...
When Zhang Tie was sent onto the train, Lan Yunxi was standing in the command module of the flagship of the airship fleet in the military uniform of major general. She was watching the distance with a solemn look as she issued an order.
"We're about to enter the theater of operations. Send a signal, let all the airship formations change their formations. We'll enter in a 3-layer formation with a distance of 20 meters. The first echelon, release gliders to scout the airspace in front of us. Watch out for wing demons' raid!"
Over the past 3 years, when Zhang Tie became a LV 9 fighter in sleep, the most brilliant pearl in Huaiyuan Palace had already grown into a powerful commander of the airship troop. Zhang Tie was well-known across the entire Human Corridor.
Zhang Tie didn't know that Lan Yunxi was in the sky when he raised his head a few hours ago.
