From the top of the city wall to the bottom of the city wall, nearly hundreds of thousands of human warriors had gathered around the north gate at the moment. Every single one of them was wearing heavy armors and holding sharp weapons, waiting for the right moment. Looking around, one would find that behind the few streets and those flattened buildings near the north gate was a forest of armored warriors. Many teams in the steel jungle were holding the banners of other countries in Mocco City.
Over the past 10 days, the north gate of Mocco City which had been closed had been prepared to be opened from inside so that the troops inside the city could rush out. At this moment, after the city wall of Mocco City lost its advantage in height, the closed city gate became meaningless.
The two huge swords in Zhang Tie's hands were very eye-catching. Additionally, he was always active on the city wall of the north gate these days. Therefore, Zhang Tie finally passed through the steel walls and came to the highest point of the city wall.
At this moment, there were rows of terrifying tough men as strong as mountains standing on the north city wall of Mocco City. Each of them had a long beard and was in full-body armors. Each of them was holding an ax which weighed over 100 kg. They were standing on the top of the city wall like steel puppets.
Those tough men and their long beards looked familiar to Zhang Tie. Not until he caught sight of the banners behind these tough men did Zhang Tie remember where he had seen them before. They were those people whom he met at the railway station when he came to Mocco City for the first time — — Taklin Empire's Imperial Heavy-armored Infantry Corps!
They were the best heavy-armored infantry across Blackson Humans Corridor.
At the most dangerous moment, these people stood on the city wall.
A grey-haired imperial priest of Taklin Empire was walking among these powerful heavy-armored infantry corps. Using a silver bowl filled with holy water, he chanted while sprinkling the holy water on the bodies of these soldiers. When the priest passed by, these fighters would kneel down by one knee and kiss the crosses in front of their chests. After praying piously, they would stand up resolutely.
At this moment, less than 1/10 of the usual number of demon hunters and paladins were gathering at the north gate.
Zhang Tie was standing on a section of the city wall with some paladins and demon hunters.
The demonized puppets in the distance were still quiet as if they were waiting for something. From the top of the city wall, Zhang Tie saw that the demonized puppets corps in the distance were also adjusting the formation of the huge attacking troop in a small scale.
The atmosphere within 10 square miles on the north city wall of Mocco City was like solidifying steel. Such a solidifying atmosphere... Not only did it make the hearts of every single human warrior guarding the north gate quiver, even those vultures hovering in the sky seemed to have sensed it as well. Normally, these vultures were bold and shameless, but now, whenever they were free, they would land on the ground and peck those rotten corpses. At this moment. Numerous corpses were piled up on the open area about 5 miles between the city wall and the demonized puppets corps. However, no more vultures landed there. The surging killing qi on the ground made those scavengers feel a great deterrent.
Watching the corps of millions of demonized puppets in the distance, Zhang Tie stood on the top of the city wall calmly. Very few people dared to do that. Very few people could have such an experience. At this moment, Zhang Tie was thinking about his three kids. He didn't know what the three kids looked like. If he saw them one day, he would definitely tell them that their dad was standing on the top of the city wall of Mocco City with a sword in hand when he was 20 years old. He was the first one to bear the strike of millions of demonized puppets; instead of resisting them, he was conquering them. Perhaps Mocco City would be lost in the hands of humans in the end, but it didn't matter. There was no stage that would never collapse in this world. However, as long as each person dared to face it, he or she would become an undying hero no matter how small he or she was.
A spirited will reverberated in Zhang Tie's chest...
Emperors could turn into dust; rivers could change their color. Only human fighters who dared wave their sabers towards the darkness would have their iron-like wills forever!
Everybody was waiting for it...
Zhang Tie was waiting for it...
Reinhardt was waiting for it...
...
On the highest gate tower of the north gate of Mocco City, an old man with a resolute look was watching the endless demonized puppets corps in the distance with a slight frown.
"Leo, have you really made up your mind?" Another old man sitting on the opposite of that old man asked him with a solemn look.
"It would be a pity if no human knight fought to death here when the defense line of Selnes Theater of Operations was torn apart by demons!" The old man said frankly.
"You still have a chance!" Another old man let out a faint sigh, "You know you still have a chance. If you could make further progress, it would be another world for you!"
"No, Marcus, I've been a knight for too long. When I promoted to a knight, I was already over 180 years old. My aptitude is average. Through my unremitting efforts and sweat, I was favored by the God of Destiny and entered this sacred palace. However, I could not do it for the second time. You still have a chance; however, I have no chance!" The resolute old man watched the other old man, "Black Iron Knight is my destination. Over these years, I've enjoyed all the glory brought by the position of a human knight. It's fair for me to sacrifice my life for the glory of human knights!"
The other old man fell silent. This silence was the final acknowledgement, and also the wordless respect. "Do you still have any wishes that you need to fulfill?"
"No more?" The resolute old man revealed a smile as he pointed at the dense human fighters on the city wall, "Actually, it doesn't matter even if I fight to death here. Look at those people down there. Perhaps, after witnessing the last battle of a human knight, someone among them could go further than us in the future!"
The other old man didn't speak anymore; instead, he just stood up. "There are two human knights on the opposite side. When Iron Plough Corps breaks out of the encirclement, I will stop one of them. The other one is yours! "
The old man called Leo nodded. Closely after that, they separated.
...
Zhang Tie didn't wait too long before the demonized puppets corps in the distance had started to move. With a shrill whimper, millions of demonized puppets uttered shrill howls, which could be heard within dozens of square miles. In that howl, the dark demonized puppets' vanguard rushed over like a rolling tide.
The entire land quaked. Standing on the city wall, everyone could see that the entire land was shaking. Everybody on the city wall of Mocco City could see numerous grim faces of demonized puppets.
The vanguard of demonized puppets was soon 4 miles away from Mocco City, where the centrifugal turrets in Mocco City started to exert their power. Those centrifugal turrets which could still run normally threw a lot of black spots towards the camp of demonized puppets. The powerful centrifugal turrets were like pebbles being thrown into a pool. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared. They couldn't influence the demonized puppets' footsteps at all.
As demonized puppets moved faster and faster, some demon hunters and paladins on Zhang Tie's side started to turn pale.
"Mask down …" The officers of the Taklin Empire's Royal Heavy Armor Infantry shouted loudly. With a neat click, the rows of Steel Warriors on the northern city wall put down the masks on their helmets in unison.
"Hold your sabers..."
"Huala..."
Rows of huge, shiny axes were held in front of the chests of the valiant infantrymen with steel gloves, making a calm and stable attacking posture.
Only after such a short while, the vanguard of demonized puppets had been within 3 miles...
When everybody on the city wall was breathless due to intense tension, they heard a cracking sound. Zhang Tie instantly inserted the pair of terrifying huge swords into the ground of the city wall under the gaze of numerous people. After that, he jumped onto an arrow mound on one side of the city wall and slowly pulled down the zipper of his trousers. After that, he took out a water arrow and peed towards the vanguard of demonized puppets.
"As I've drunk too much in the demon hunters' bar, I have no time to go to the toilet. Therefore, I have to do it here in case of having to chop those b * stards later. What are these b * stards doing here? Don't scramble, don't scramble. You all have a share..." Standing on the city wall, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he slightly exerted his strength, shooting the water arrow over 10 m away.
After being disturbed by Zhang Tie, the terrifying momentum of the vanguard of demonized puppets became less terrifying in the eyes of the other soldiers on the city wall.
The Demon Hunters and Rangers around them felt the pressure was lifted, and they burst into laughter.
On the top of the gate tower, the old man called Leo fixated onto Zhang Tie for the first time when he found that one of the defenders dared do such a thing facing millions of demons on the top of the city wall.
Of course, the vanguard of demonized puppets would not stop because of Zhang Tie's pee; instead, they soon approached 1,000 m away from the city wall. At the same time, a lot of bolts were shot out of the crossbowmen's position behind the city wall and fell into the vanguard of demonized puppets...
Some demonized puppets fell down; however, more demonized puppets kept rushing towards Zhang Tie with bolts. At this moment, people on the city wall of Mocco City could even feel the earthquake.
"Ready..." The commissioned officers of the Taklin Imperial Heavy-armored Infantry Regiment roared at the same time.
With a sound "Hua...", all the heavy-armored infantries on the city wall raised their huge axes above their heads tidily and prepared to attack.
Zhang Tie flipped his hair and pulled up the zipper of his pants. After that, he drew out the two huge swords. In the drunkenness, he raised his head and took a deep breath before jumping off the city wall. At the same time, he stretched out his hands like a roc's wings and raised his swords horizontally. Facing the strong wind, he stepped on those corpses and charged towards the vanguard of millions of demonized puppets...
Seeing this, all the human warriors guarding on the city wall felt that their chests were heated up, and their blood was boiling. All the warriors of the Taklin Empire's Royal Heavy Armor Infantry roared out in rage …
