"According to our intelligence and the analysis of demon biologists, this thing might be an evolved form of the parent puppet worm!" Ford told Zhang Tie with a solemn look.
'This thing is the parent puppet worm? ' After hearing this answer, Zhang Tie who had some knowledge about parent puppet worms was so shocked that his mouth opened so wide that one could stuff eggs into it. In Zhang Tie's impression, although the parent puppet worm was extremely terrifying, it was as weak as a silkworm. However, this thing in the photo was as strong as a hill. The difference between the two was too great.
"Are you kidding me? This thing is too huge. How could it be the parent puppet worm?" Zhang Tie even felt it was unbelievable that it was a living being, not to mention the parent puppet worm.
"In order to gain this intelligence, we've already sacrificed a lot of people. However, the intelligence is still incomplete. However, we're sure that this thing could turn living people into demonized puppets at a very fast speed. Do you see these dense honeycomb-shaped things?"
Major General Ford pointed at the hill-like honeycomb-shaped structure in the photo, "We don't know what it looks like inside. However, commoners would be bound in that honeycomb-shaped place and soaked in some liquid. After about half a month, they would come out of there and turn into demonized puppets."
"Half a month?" Zhang Tie took in a deep breath.
"Yes, half a month. This thing could turn a commoner into a demonized puppet in half a month!"
"This thing is like a munitions factory of demons!"
"This metaphor is very appropriate. This thing could produce 20-30,000 demonized puppets in one month."
"If this thing is the parent worm of puppet worms, all the demonized puppets that it produced would stay close to it. I'm afraid that this thing could not move at all. "
"The alliance command has already consulted many experts about this question. All the experts have a very consistent conclusion. If this thing is an evolved form of puppet worm, the demonized puppets that it produces would be greatly different than those of the parent puppet worm. The demonized puppets produced by the parent puppet worm would fight around the parent puppet worm. Even if they could leave it, they would be limited to a certain distance. Basically, wherever the parent worm of puppet worms is, those demonized puppets would follow. "
"However, those demonized puppets created by this thing might have the ability to fight independently even after being far away from this thing. They might even get rid of their dependence on this thing. We don't know the details yet; however, we're sure that the demonized puppets would be able to fight independently. However, demons could never produce a lot of demonized puppets that could be bound in a narrow region. Otherwise, they would lose the significance of their existence. "
Major General Ford explained.
After being silent for a short while, Zhang Tie asked, "What does the alliance command want me to do?"
"The alliance command wants to confirm whether there's a large number of this thing in the north of Titanic Duchy and the number of demonized puppets corps produced by this thing. This intelligence will have a great influence on the overall battle situation in Selnes Theater of Operations." Major General Ford explained solemnly.
"Don't you have a photo?"
"This photo comes from a city of Venia Federation in the north of the demon's territory. That city was close to the seaside. After sacrificing a lot of people, we approached that city by sea and got some incomplete intelligence. Now it's very difficult to get the intelligence of the area occupied by demons. Whether it's from the ground or from the air, it's very difficult for our people to penetrate that area. The intelligence of the area occupied by demons is very small. We have to sacrifice a lot of scouts and intelligence personnel. "
Major General Ford's voice turned muffled at once, "In order to gain the relevant intelligence about the north of Titanic Duchy, we've dispatched over 30 airships there for reconnaissance. That place has deepened into the demon's territory. Airships are too big a target. Therefore, none of those airships could come back. Those airships were full of excellent young men. None of the ground scouts and reconnaissance teams composed of powerhouses above LV 9 could come back after entering the demon's territory. This intelligence and relevant information are very important. " Therefore... "
Due to Zhang Tie's special identity, he basically didn't need to follow anyone's command in Selnes Theater of Operations. Therefore, even though the alliance command needed Zhang Tie to solve some problems, they could only dispatch someone to negotiate with him instead of giving an order.
"I accept this task!" After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Tie said decisively.
Major General Ford became relaxed, "Do you have any request?"
"Yes, of course!" Zhang Tie threw a glance at Lan Yunxi with a smile. Lan Yunxi seemed to have sensed something as she glared at him.
"What request?"
"I only have one request. Please provide me with at least a viscount-level cultivation secret knowledge!" Zhang Tie said frankly.
Major General Ford had not imagined that Zhang Tie would make such a request. After being stunned for a second, he threw a glance at Lan Yunxi. After thinking for a short while, he slowly nodded, "I cannot promise you this request. However, I will report your request to my superior. A viscount-level cultivation secret knowledge is not trivial. May I know the purpose of that secret knowledge? "
"Of course, it's for cultivation. I'm just LV 9. Due to some reasons, I could not acquire the following cultivation secret knowledge of Huaiyuan Palace. As the battle is growing fiercer, I urgently need a secret knowledge so as to improve my battle strength! Viscount is my minimum requirement. I can't be any lower than that, "Zhang Tie said straightforwardly.
After completing the foundation of "King Roc Sutra", Zhang Tie really wanted a complete cultivation secret knowledge so as to cover his cultivation method. When he promoted to LV 11 in the future, if others knew that he was cultivating an emperor-level secret method that nobody else could cultivate, it would be a disaster. Now that he had such a chance, of course, Zhang Tie would make good use of it. It would be best if he could make use of this opportunity to let everyone know that he had obtained a complete cultivation manual. In this way, he could constantly promote to higher levels in the future without being doubted by others.
Blackson Humans Corridor was very chaotic. In such a chaotic situation, very high-level cultivation secret knowledge even appeared in the demon hunters' illegal market. Therefore, it was not difficult for the alliance command to get a viscount-level secret knowledge for him.
After receiving Zhang Tie's reply, Major General Ford left. Zhang Tie and Lan Yunxi saw off Major General Ford's vehicle.
Watching Major General Ford's vehicle disappearing in the distance, Lan Yunxi turned around and watched Zhang Tie, "Have you long foreseen such a day? Are you waiting for others to deliver the secret knowledge to you?"
Zhang Tie immediately complained, "Don't think of me as such a sinister person. I've almost lost my life for those secret books these months!"
"You deserve it!" Lan Yunxi swore Zhang Tie in a low voice.
Zhang Tie knew that Lan Yunxi thought that he was joking with her. Zhang Tie knew that Lan Yunxi thought that he was joking with her. Zhang Tie didn't want to talk about the dangers that he had encountered in the demon hunters' illegal market anymore. Zhang Tie felt that he was not Xianglin's wife. He didn't need to show off his frustrations and misfortunes all the time.
"Oh, is the situation facing demons really that serious?" Zhang Tie changed the topic as he knew that Zhang Tie knew about it. He knew that Lan Yunxi definitely knew more about demons than him, including her current identity and her background as the princess of Huaiyuan Palace.
"Very serious!" Lan Yunxi faintly frowned, "Recently, the elite squad of the super demon corps in Selnes Theater of Operations has been appearing less and less frequently. Instead, there are more and more demonized puppets, which is not a good omen. "
"Demons are consuming the strength of allied human forces with demonized puppets?" Zhang Tie realized it at once, "Aren't there powerful knights in human corps? We should dispatch two knights to solve the problem."
"How do you know that human knights have not fought on the battlefield?" Lan Yunxi watched Zhang Tie with a special look as she turned solemn.
Zhang Tie became stunned at once, "Ahh, have human knights really fought on the battlefield?"
Lan Yunxi became silent for a second. "Since one month, two human knights have been sacrificed across Selnes Theater of Operations. Without human knights, Selnes Theater of Operations would be totally different. "
Zhang Tie was shocked, "That's a major event. How come I don't know it? I've not heard about it from others."
"You will not understand the world of knights and the battlefield of knights!" Lan Yunxi said gloomily.
...
'What's the world of knights? '
As she had something else to deal with, Lan Yunxi left after talking with Zhang Tie for a short while. Watching Lan Yunxi's back, Zhang Tie thought about Lan Yunxi's words for quite a while...
...
As he had requested for a secret cultivation method, Zhang Tie didn't enter Castle of Black Iron to light his surging points with leakless fruits for the time being. As long as he started to light those surging points besides his spine and advance towards LV 10, some powerhouses would sense it — — Didn't you say that you don't have a secret cultivation method after LV 9? Why did you start to cultivate before we gave you a secret cultivation method?
In order to avoid such a mistake, Zhang Tie waited for two days. During the two days, he constantly adjusted his state and relaxed himself. Meanwhile, he made some preparations for the dangerous task assigned by the alliance command.
Among these preparations, Zhang Tie was most interested in a wholly new glider designed and manufactured by the Hoorn Republic for him...
It was an unprecedented glider that nobody could make even before the Catastrophe. It was a private plane which was tailor-made for Zhang Tie with propellers as its driving force...
