A tall man in dark golden armor with grey hair was standing on one side of the lava river and watching the head which had long been drained of blood silently for quite a while.
Because this man didn't speak, all the others felt scared.
The man also had a very cruel and sinister aquiline nose. This aquiline nose was exactly the same as the nose of the head on the ground. The only difference was that one of the two heads was still alive, while the other was already dead. And the dead one seemed to have a trace of shock on its face before it died. It even opened its mouth slightly as if it wanted to say something.
"Who can tell me what's going on?" The man turned around and watched all the members of Senel Clan with a calm look, "Your heads are still on your necks, why is Cambo's head here?"
Everybody at present felt the coldness in this man's words. Rouben and the other guys moved their eyes onto Scala. Yesterday, they were still jealous about the position of the acting corps leader of Senel Clan; however, in a split second, they started to gloat about Scala's misfortune. Some of them even let out a sigh inside — — Thankfully, I'm not on this position.
With a solemn look, Scala strode one step out of the crowd, "Cambo was murdered. The murder took place in Cambo's tent. We found Cambo was murdered yesterday. Closely after that, we found Cambo's head here. Father, I think you have the right to see Cambo's look when he was murdered. Therefore, I had them protect the scene."
"Before Cambo was killed, the material warehouse of the camp was caught on fire, causing us a great loss. The day before he was killed, several thousand Untouchables had escaped. After he was killed, we counted carefully and found that more than ten thousand Untouchables had gone missing. All the missing Untouchables had insisted on not eating human flesh. Two slave supervisors had also gone missing. We've searched each place carefully; however, nobody knew where they were hiding and whether they had found any secret underground tunnel or secret underground space. "
"As the acting corps leader and the elder brother of Cambo, I will bear the responsibility!"
After saying that, Scala lowered his head in a bashful way.
"Haven't you figured out what's going on?" Koz asked coldly.
"Yes!" Scala replied with a bit difficulty, "I just..."
Koz didn't speak. Before Scala finished his words, he had punched out. Scala uttered a muffled harrumph as his armor in front of his chest was broken. He was sent flying 20 m away by Koz's punch. After spurting out a lot of blood, he struggled to pick himself up and walked towards Zhang Tie once again.
Before Rouben and the other guys uttered anything, Koz had slapped them. Like being slapped by someone at the same time, they spurted out blood and fell backward at the same time.
The few people on the ground didn't even dare to make a sound. After they stood up, they obediently walked back to where they were, lowering their heads and not daring to say a word.
Koz stared at them with icy eyes, "You're the most excellent among all my offsprings. The one who will inherit Senel Clan in the future must be one of you. I just want you to know that no matter how ferocious jackals and wolves are, they will not kill each other in the same nest. The future of Senel Clan will not be limited to Titanic Duchy. Am I clear? "
After exchanging a glance with each other, they nodded at the same time.
Koz closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, "Call out all the untouchables. One out of 10, regardless of age. Chop off their heads and bury them with Cambo! "
This order meant at least 10,000 heads would fall to the ground. However, nobody said anything. Someone immediately executed it.
Koz's eyes turned to the head at the edge of the magma river. There was a thick layer of gloom in his eyes. If there was no other reason, the person who killed Cambo wouldn't have brought Cambo's head here for no reason. Placing the head here felt like a memorial.
"What happened here during the period when I left the corps?"
"Cambo... Cambo once... threw some pariahs into the magma river here. Additionally, he even chopped off a pariah's limbs and fed them to demonized puppets!" Scala panted as he explained.
"What?" Koz's eyes lit up and the aura emanating from his body made it seem as though he was about to devour someone.
"I... I also doubt that... perhaps this place has already been discovered by a powerhouse among the scouts of allied human forces... the one who killed Cambo might be an outsider. When Cambo killed those pariahs here, that scout of allied human forces might be hiding among those pariahs. Additionally, Cambo's wounds are very strange. They might be caused by a powerful battle qi..."
"Contact our moles in the allied human forces. If this place is discovered by someone, I want to figure out who discovered this place..." Koz gritted his teeth as his battle qi started to roll, "Who dares kill my son, I will chop him into pieces."
...
In the next moment, the entire underground space was filled with people, and a thick smell of blood filled the air …
...
Actually, Zhang Tie returned to the airship troop of Jinyun Country a bit later. Although he had already left the underground cave in Misty Moon Woods yesterday, he didn't return to the airship troop of Jinyun Country until today.
It was still raining heavily yesterday. In such a weather, Zhang Tie's glider could not take off by the ascending airflow. Until today, when it became sunny and there was an obvious topographic ascending airflow near the hillside where Zhang Tie hid his glider, Zhang Tie seized the opportunity to take off from the hillside and had the glider fly into the sky once again.
After flying in the sky for a few hours, Zhang Tie found the airship troop of Jinyun Country which was loitering in an air territory.
At the sight of Zhang Tie's glider in the sky, many people in the airship troop of Jinyun Country cheered up. As Zhang Tie had disappeared for 4 days, they were really worried about him.
After finding Lan Yunxi's flagship, Zhang Tie flew around the flagship for two circles and requested to land on it. Lan Yunxi's flagship then adjusted its direction and speed according to the wind. Meanwhile, the bottom of the huge airship spread a huge net in the air like catching fish.
The glider pilots described the skill of driving glider back to airship in a very vivid word — — walking into a trap.
It was indeed falling into the trap. No matter how large the airship was, it could not have a runway for the glider to land on. If the glider wanted to return to the airship in the air, it could only fall into the net. When flying against the wind, the glider would be "caught" by the large net which was full of elastic force. After that, the glider would be pulled onto the airship by the large net at a low relative speed.
If the glider pilot's skills were not good enough, he would fall into the trap. Various accidents such as crashing into the airship, tearing the recovery net or falling down due to stalling would always occur. Whether the glider could fall into the trap or not also became an important standard for excellent glider pilots.
However, this was a test for other glider drivers' skills. However, it was as simple as drinking water for Zhang Tie, which was almost as easy as drinking water.
Zhang Tie drove the glider into the net nimbly and tenderly. Soon after the two crew members fixed the glider with steel ropes and hooks, before they pulled him up, Zhang Tie had climbed out of the glider. After giving a thumbs-up to the two crew members in wind-proof goggles, he climbed up the net.
Zhang Tie returned to the airship. Zhang Tie directly came to the command module of the airship where Lan Yunxi was.
Lan Yunxi and some commissioned officers of the airship troop were surrounding the table. At the sight of Zhang Tie, Lan Yunxi let out a sigh evidently.
"It's good that you're back!"
Lan Yunxi's relaxed look made Zhang Tie feel warm inside. He revealed a smile too. After that, he turned solemn, "I have an important message to report to General Lan."
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Those commissioned officers and the others in the command module exchanged a glance with each other before leaving the command module silently. When the last one left, he even closed the door of the command module.
According to the requirement of confidentiality in the army, if Zhang Tie reported important information to Lan Yunxi alone, the others were not qualified to stand aside and listen to it. In this case, they had to leave.
Watching Zhang Tie's solemn look, Lan Yunxi's face turned solemn too. "Have you found the trace of the demonized puppets corps?"
After hearing Lan Yunxi's question, Zhang Tie became silent; instead, he came to Lan Yunxi's side and looked at the map on the table.
After hearing Lan Yunxi's question, Zhang Tie didn't speak; instead, he came to Lan Yunxi's side and looked at the map on the table. After hearing Lan Yunxi's question, Zhang Tie became silent; instead, he came to Lan Yunxi's side and looked at the map on the table.
"The demonized puppets corps is right here."
Watching that place, Lan Yunxi frowned, "I've dispatched airships to investigate this region these days; however, I didn't find anything."
"The demonized puppets corps of demons are not above the ground, but underground. There's an entrance to an underground space here."
"Ah, underground?" Lan Yunxi looked surprised. "What are they doing underground?"
Zhang Tie drew two lines on the north and south sides of that point, "The mission of the demonized puppets corps is to open an underground tunnel which could directly pass through the human defense line in Selnes. From this point on, the northern part of this tunnel has been connected with Titanic Duchy. The southern part has also been opened dozens of miles. As long as this tunnel passes through the human defense line in Selnes, then..."
Lan Yunxi understood what Zhang Tie meant. Lan Yunxi took in a deep breath as her face turned extremely solemn at once.
"Did you personally go into that tunnel to investigate?"
"Yes!" Zhang Tie then told Lan Yunxi about the information that he had learned in that underground space. Of course, Zhang Tie didn't mention that he had saved over 20,000 human captives from that underground space. In the holy war, over 20,000 human captives disappeared mysteriously after being escorted into the underground space by the demonized puppets corps. Nobody would be interested in investigating such a "trifle".
"I have to report it to the alliance command in person. The action plan of the airship troop of Jinyun Country has to be changed too..." Lan Yunxi said decisively. After that, she walked to a sound transmission tube and sent a series of orders, "I'm Lan Yunxi, notice all the main officers of all the subordinate fleets to cancel this action. Let all the airship troops return. The flagship will fly to Mocco City directly..."
After sending the order, Lan Yunxi walked back and glanced at Zhang Tie from his head to toe seriously. After being hesitant for a second, she said, "Next time... try not to enter that dangerous place alone, okay?"
Zhang Tie immediately put his hand on Lan Yunxi's waist as he asked, "Are you worried about me?"
Lan Yunxi's face blushed as she turned around at once.
Zhang Tie then moved Lan Yunxi's head towards him. After that, he kissed Lan Yunxi's lips forcefully.
…
The war in Selnes Theater of Operations was still going on. After accomplishing the reconnaissance mission in Misty Moon Forest, Zhang Tie and the airship troop of Jinyun Country returned to the Crystal Battle Fortress. Everybody had a few more days' holiday. This was the work and rest regulation of high-intensity combat troops like airship troop which could hardly land on the ground once every 10 days or half a month. Without proper rest, any airship troop could barely stand for a long time in the sky.
Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about how the human alliance command would deal with the demonized puppets corps of Senel Clan in the underground space. Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about that. The holy war was not about him alone. Of course, someone would worry about dealing with the demonized puppets corps and the conspiracy of demons against the human alliance. Of course, some troops would fight the demonized puppets corps tit for tat and stop the conspiracy of demons. As for Zhang Tie, he only needed to do what he could when he risked his life. He was just a LV 9 guy; he didn't need to think too much about that.
What really moved Zhang Tie in this reconnaissance mission was the insanity and cruelty of Three-eye Association clans and the miserable fate of those common human captives.
Therefore, Zhang Tie started to cultivate more crazily. He wanted to complete the foundation of King Roc Sutra as soon as possible.
