Zhang Tie's arrival attracted many people's attention at once.
Two days ago, when Zhang Tie returned by that glider, all the onlookers were shocked at the sight of that glider as they could not imagine what kind of bloody battle Zhang Tie had experienced to make himself look like that.
Zhang Tie's 5 days in the air also made them dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that such a person who broke the glider driving record in Waii Subcontinent could appear in Crystal Battle Fortress on their side. In this age where fighting strength was the most important, although glider driving skill was not as eye-catching as battle skill, in a specific circle such as the circle of airship troops, this skill was as eye-catching as the swimming skill of sailors in the navy.
No matter what record it was, a person who could make and break a record would always be eye-catching wherever he was.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was very eye-catching. If not being in a coma these days, he might have long been surrounded by people.
Everyone was curious as to whether this guy's record was real or not. Also, what was this guy's battle record like?
"Junior brother apprentice Zhang Tie, what a coincidence! We meet again!"
In the Military Exploits Registration Center, Zhang Tie met a guy who had a bet with him — — Dantai Yuya.
Closely after Dantai Yuya's words, all the young commissioned officers around the Military Exploits Registration Center turned around and glanced at Zhang Tie. Many people's eyes slightly flickered as if they had already known who Zhang Tie was.
"Ah, it's senior brother apprentice Dantai. Are you here to register your military exploits too? "Zhang Tie greeted Dantai Yuya with a calm look.
"Right, I've made some achievements in Flatte Theater of Operations and killed some demons. Therefore, I'm here to confirm it!" Dantai Yuya watched Zhang Tie as he said politely and sincerely, "It's said that junior brother apprentice Zhang Tie has already left Hidden Dragon Palace. However, you still bought an airship at your own expense and joined the battle in the theater of operations as a volunteer army. That's what a real man should do. That's really admirable. "
Dantai Yuya was the best in demeanor and temperament. Therefore, Zhang Tie had a good impression about this elite disciple of Tantai Clan since he met him last time. After hearing Dantai Yuya's praise, Zhang Tie felt a bit bashful. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Senior fellow apprentice Tantai, if you say so, I feel ashamed. I know many senior fellow apprentices are commanding airships; however, this military exploits are only recorded in the registration of individual military exploits. Actually, it's a bit unfair to senior fellow apprentices. Senior fellow apprentices' commanding abilities are not included in the military exploits; however, I, a free guy, take advantage of them!"
Dantai Yuya burst out laughing. "Actually, it's nothing. All strategies and wisdom will pale in front of powerful strength. In the confrontation between humans and demons, the truth will be revealed on the edge of the blade. If one's personal strength is not good enough, even if one is smart and resourceful, he can only be an adviser. Such a person's achievements will always be limited. "
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he knew that these disciples of major clans were thinking about this. As for these disciples of major clans, strategies were just tools. What really dominated everything was one's battle strength. Although they also valued strategies and commanding abilities as an important part of one's battle strength, they were always less important than one's pure battle strength.
This point could be clearly seen from the elders of major clans. Each clan's elder was a person who had promoted to a knight. As long as a person promoted to a knight, he would have a great influence and power wherever he was. Because a knight's power could influence and dominate the fate of a clan. Across Waii Sub-continent, Zhang Tie had not heard of anyone who was proficient in strategies and commanding abilities becoming a clan elder.
This was the most famous "Powerhouse Effect" in this age, also known as "Knight Effect". Because of cultivation, when a knight's ability and battle strength could be tens of thousands of times higher than that of a common fighter and when tens of thousands of people in a common division couldn't do what a knight could do, an invisible ceiling would appear above the heads of all the brainworkers.
Before the Great Cataclysm, human intelligence and strategy were placed in a very important position. As the saying goes, those who work with their brains govern people, and those who work with their muscles govern people. Those who were good at scheming and had outstanding thinking skills and strategies were often respected by others. They were also more likely to achieve success and social status. However, in this era, all laws were based on the supremacy of force, whether it was for a group or an individual.
When Zhang Tie talked with Dantai Yuya, Dantai Yuya had already finished his military exploits. Soon, it was Zhang Tie's turn.
Seeing that Zhang Tie was going to register his military exploits, all the onlookers pricked up their ears. Many people in the distance moved closer out of curiosity. Dantai Yuya also stayed here and prepared to see Zhang Tie's military exploits. As Lan Yunxi's junior fellow apprentice who dared to bet with the others, Dantai Yuya felt that Zhang Tie's performance should not be too bad, at least not bad among LV 9 fighters.
After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, the captain nodded, "Do you also want to register your military exploits here?"
"Yes!"
"You've not registered it before?"
"No, it's my first time!"
"I have to warn you. Now that you've signed the soul and bloodline oath, any false words you say here would arouse the countercharge of the contract. Therefore, don't exaggerate your military exploits. You'd better not say those that you're not sure about. Additionally, the military exploits that have been registered cannot be added to each other. Each military exploits should be the latest one. Collective military exploits cannot be included in it." The captain explained to Zhang Tie patiently.
"I see!" Zhang Tie nodded.
"Fine, tell me your name and military exploits!" The captain prepared to record it.
Zhang Tie took in a deep breath. "Zhang Tie, 157 LV 9 wing demons and 6 LV 10 wing demons. Not to mention the wounded ones! "
"How many did you say?" The captain thought that he had misheard Zhang Tie. Therefore, he couldn't help but stand up and ask Zhang Tie once again.
"I said I killed 157 LV 9 wing demons and 4 LV 10 wing demons these days!" Zhang Tie repeated it calmly with full confidence.
The Military Exploits Registration Center became so quiet that even a needle dropping could be heard. Everybody was looking at Zhang Tie's face as if they were waiting for something strange. However, Zhang Tie didn't look abnormal at all. Zhang Tie looked calm and frank. His face didn't turn black; neither did he emit any bad smell.
'No countercharge of the soul and bloodline oath? ' Everybody realized that this man was telling the truth at once.
The captain of the Military Exploits Registration Center wrote down the military exploits in a notebook with his quivering hands while swallowing his saliva. At the same time, he watched Zhang Tie like seeing a ghost. "Could... could you repeat it?"
Unconsciously, the captain started to address Zhang Tie in an honorific way.
"157 LV 9 wing demons and 4 LV 10 wing demons, is that enough..." Zhang Tie asked patiently.
"Oh, it's enough... it's enough..." The captain hurriedly replied as his attitude towards Zhang Tie became much more respectful at once.
"Senior brother apprentice Tantai, my airship is still parked outside. Call the Idiots. I will treat you to a drink when you're free. Thanks to the medical treatment of Lan elder a couple of days ago, I've recovered so fast. I have to appreciate Lan elder face to face. See you... "Zhang Tie greeted Dantai Yuya in the same tone as before. After that, he directly entered the battle fortress of Lan clan and had someone report to Lan elder.
Only after less than 1 minute, Lan elder had already had someone take Zhang Tie to see him.
Zhang Tie waved his hand towards Dantai Yuya before entering the battle fortress of Lan clan.
Not until Zhang Tie disappeared in front of the public did the staff in the Military Exploits Registration Center realize what had happened and become boisterous at once.
"Let me calculate it, 157 LV 9 wing demons are 942 points, 4 LV 10 wing demons are 120 points, Zhang Tie's military exploits are 1062 points..."
"Ah, I know, Zhang Tie is the legendary Selnes Eagle..." One person shouted out of excitement.
Everybody else took in a deep breath...
Dantai Yuya stood still as he felt desperate, 'How could I surpass such a military exploits? If I can't even match a guy who was driven out of Hidden Dragon Palace, how could I pursue Lan Yunxi? '
In Dantai Yuya's eyes, Zhang Tie's image was like an iron wall in front of him. As a result, Zhang Tie's hope to approach Lan Yunxi was shattered at once.
Without waiting for 2 months, Dantai Yuya was sure that those who had bet with Zhang Tie at the beginning could barely surpass Zhang Tie's military exploits in 2 months.
...
Zhang Tie saw Lan elder in the room where he had been here one week ago. After Zhang Tie expressed his purpose and appreciated Lan elder sincerely, Lan elder watched Zhang Tie for quite a while before nodding forcefully, "You, not bad, not bad..."
Zhang Tie didn't know that it was Lan elder's first time to praise a young man in the Crystal Battle Fortress. Therefore, he just replied modestly.
After hearing such a praise, Zhang Tie just replied modestly, "It's what I should do..."
"Hmm, do you know what's the most important thing for you now?" Lan elder watched Zhang Tie with a wise and gentle look.
"Survive..." Zhang Tie said decisively.
After hearing Zhang Tie's answer, Lan elder revealed a bit of appreciation in his eyes, "Have you thought about that if you make such a great achievement as a volunteer, you might bring a lot of problems?"
Zhang Tie became silent for a second. Before coming here, he indeed didn't think about this problem seriously. Now that Lan elder mentioned it, he felt it was a bit tricky. If a volunteer could defeat wing demons in the sky, what would happen to over 5 million regular human troops in the frontline of Selnes Theater of Operations?
However, the one who gained the nickname of Selnes Eagle was a civilian volunteer. How many people would feel embarrassed about it? Even in the Crystal Battle Fortress, Zhang Tie estimated that not everyone would like to see a guy in the uniform of the militia of Jinyun Country on the Military Exploits List. 'One step smaller. Even in Huaiyuan Palace, given my current military exploits, someone might make a fuss about it and alienate me from Huaiyuan Palace. '
After thinking it through, Zhang Tie became slightly startled, 'Old ginger is spicier. Only with a casual sentence, Lan elder could point out a big problem facing me.'
"It's up to you, Elder Lan!" Zhang Tie threw another question to him. In any case, you are the boss of the Crystal Battle Fortress. Since you pointed out this problem, There must be a way to solve this problem.
Lan elder burst out into laughter at once as he found that Zhang Tie was as crafty as them, "I will have someone inform Huaiyuan Palace. So from now on. You will be the first air cavalry of the Crystal Battle Fortress of Jinyun Country! "
"Air cavalry? Air cavalries?" Hearing this appellation, Zhang Tie raised his eyebrows.
"Right, you're an air cavalryman. This is a new independent establishment. You're the only air cavalryman in the entire Selnes Theater of Operations. Rank of sergeant first class, treatment of major. Nominally, you belong to Crystal Battle Fortress. In other words, they are under my command, but they have the right to fight independently. What do you think? "
"I've not imagined that Lan elder has already considered everything for me." Zhang Tie was moved inside as he deeply bowed towards Lan elder, "Thank you, Lan elder!"
"You're welcome. As an air cavalry, a new independent establishment, you need to change your clothes; otherwise, it would be a bit improper..." Lan elder clapped his hands while another person appeared in the room at once. Pointing at that person, Lan elder told Zhang Tie, "You can negotiate with him about the uniform, equipment and logo you like. I will not care about these things. I'm afraid that you will need them soon."
...
After negotiating with the logistics director of the Crystal Battle Fortress for almost 1 hour in the battle fortress of Lan Clan, Zhang Tie left the battle fortress of Lan Clan after confirming the military uniform style, material, military rank, military card, collar badge, cap emblem, symbol of air cavalry and other details of his military uniform as the first air cavalry.
With so many senior talents and craftsmen in the logistics department of the Crystal Battle Fortress, it would only take them one day at most to make these items according to Zhang Tie's will. Zhang Tie was guaranteed to be unique.
When Zhang Tie came out of the battle fortress of Lan clan, the military exploits ranking in Crystal Battle Fortress had changed. Zhang Tie ranked first with 1062 points, Lan Yunxi ranked second. In the battle in Flatte City, Lan Yunxi killed 8 more LV 9 wing demons, 2 more LV 10 wing demons and a LV 11 wing demon that Zhang Tie had not seen before. As a result, Lan Yunxi's total points increased to 444 points from 186 points a few days ago.
However, compared to Zhang Tie's points, Lan Yunxi's points were less than half of Zhang Tie's.
Although it was only a ranking, the feeling of being able to suppress Lan Yunxi under him was very special to Zhang. It gave him a different kind of feeling of conquest.
All the fighters in the Crystal Battle Fortress would give a salute to Zhang Tie when they saw him; especially those fighters of Huaiyuan Palace. At this moment, Zhang Tie had become the most glorious member of Huaiyuan Palace.
When Zhang Tie returned to the Idiots, all the crew members walked out of the airship and welcomed Zhang Tie with the grandest etiquette. Only in this way could they express their respect to their captain.
Zhang Tie greeted all the crew members of the Idiots with a smile and patted their shoulders. After having a warm supper with them, Zhang Tie told them that he had not fully recovered and needed to take a rest. After that, he returned to the captain's office.
In the Captain's Room, Zhang Tie entered Castle of Black Iron. He wanted to see what surprise the small tree could bring him...
...
Although Zhang Tie had not entered the Castle of Black Iron for a few days, Castle of Black Iron didn't seem to have changed much. Besides the aura in the fresh air, with the expansion of the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie felt more and more like the outside world.
Seemingly knowing that Zhang Tie was coming in, Heller had been waiting for him under the small tree respectfully. At the sight of Zhang Tie, Heller looked very solemn, "Castle Lord, you've really risked your life this time. If Castle Lord always doesn't care about your safety, we will feel very frustrated and feel that everything is meaningless!"
Zhang Tie scratched his head bashfully. He knew what Heller was referring to. It was indeed very dangerous to fly a glider for 5 days without eating or drinking. On the 5th day, even Zhang Tie couldn't stand it anymore. Finally, he was attacked by two LV 10 wing demons and almost died.
"Fine, I see. But in that situation, as long as I stood a bit longer, I might save many people's lives. Therefore, I couldn't stop fighting..."
Heller let out a sigh, "If such a situation is out of your control and you will encounter it again in the future, Castle Lord, you'd better find more opportunities to cultivate some iron-body fruits. At least, you could bear more strikes and survive more dangers. As long as you are willing to spend some time, iron-body fruits are easy to be cultivated. However, the effect of this fruit is very great. It has the most powerful effect on strengthening your body. The body is the foundation of everything. Castle Lord, don't belittle it. Although some things are cheap and easy to obtain like sunlight and air, they are the foundation of all lives. Take this time, as long as Castle Lord ate 2-3 more iron-body fruits, you would definitely be clear-minded when you land; additionally, your injuries would not be so severe!"
Heller's words made Zhang Tie's heart pound. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had indeed not eaten iron-body fruits for a long time. Heller rarely gave such a high evaluation to any fruit. Perhaps, he had not fully exerted the effect of iron-body fruits...
"Fine, I will definitely spend more time to refine Iron-body Fruits!" Zhang Tie nodded solemnly. After that, he asked Heller, "Have the fruits grown out after killing those demons?"
"Yes, they have..."
