Even though Zhang Tie's look had become extremely common; he didn't look like a rich person; even his long sword was an extremely common Pioneering Sword; the skilled and passionate smile on the maid's face could still arouse Zhang Tie's good impression. If Zhang Tie was a bit tender, he might even think that the maid was interested in him …
"Brandy!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
The maid swayed her waist and left. After a short while, she brought a bottle of brandy and a glass and put it on the iron table.
As Zhang Tie drank the liquor casually, he seemed to be watching the dancer on the platform in front of him; actually, he was listening to the discussions at the surrounding tables. As Zhang Tie had a knight's consciousness and his facial features were almost like that of a knight, as long as he sat in the pub, he would be able to hear everything in the pub.
At a table, some mercenaries were discussing the riot that took place in Karla Harbor two days ago and the bloody suppression that followed. After the suppression, the news that came from Karla Harbor was that, judging from various clues, the refugees in Karla Harbor might be driven to riot by an evil hand. Many people mingled among the refugees and finally pushed the riot to an unmanageable situation. After the suppression, many "refugees" who had been eye-catching at the beginning had disappeared. The garrison army of Karla Harbor had started to investigate suspicious people strictly today …
Those pioneers at the table behind Zhang Tie were discussing the situation facing the north. The news that the super demon corps had disappeared for 2 months also aroused many people's attention …
"Have you heard that the fleet of Eastern Continent has already docked in the harbors of some Hua countries in the south. They're picking up a lot of Hua people … "
Over 20 m away from Zhang Tie, a voice drifted from 4 o 'clock direction, which attracted Zhang Tie's attention at once.
"I've also heard that. However, I don't believe it. It's said that each ship of the fleet dispatched by Eastern Continent is above 1 million tons. Each ship could carry over 200,000 Hua people away. Over 10 harbors of some Hua countries in the south have such a fleet. Some harbors couldn't accommodate such a huge ship. Some harbors couldn't accommodate such a huge ship, so such a huge ship could only berth on the ocean near the harbors. They even need other steamers to carry people and supplies. Is there really such a huge ship? It's unbelievable. "
"Even if you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Taixia Country is a marvelous country. After I finish my business here, I will make some money. I'm going to Taixia Country. I don't know how this holy war will turn out. All the richest people have escaped to Taixia Country. What about you? "
"Yes, count me in!"
"Count me in. I really want to take a look at the million-ton battleship in Taixia Country!"
…
After hearing this news, Zhang Tie's heart raced. He had not imagined that Taixia Country on Eastern Continent finally launched a strike when he was in secluded cultivation in the ocean. After the holy war broke out, he dispatched fleets to Blackson Humans Corridor to evacuate Hua people here. It indicated that Taixia Country intervened in the situation facing Blackson Humans Corridor. This evacuation indicated that Taixia Country was not optimistic about the future of Blackson Humans Corridor.
The arrival of the fleets of Taixia Country was both good and bad for many people in Blackson Humans Corridor. The evacuation of Hua people would intensify the turbulence in Blackson Humans Corridor. As a result, more people would head south and seek for opportunities to leave Blackson Humans Corridor. In the short term, it was not good for Taixia Country. Additionally, more Hua people would evacuate away from the Blackson Humans Corridor, which would relieve the population stress in the southern cities of Blackson Humans Corridor. In the long run, it would prevent more people from turning into demonized puppets and preserve the overall strength of humans. This was a good thing.
Zhang Tie recalled those cities of Huaiyuan Palace. As those cities were all close to the sea, Hua people in those cities would definitely evacuate first. However, Zhang Tie couldn't help but wonder who would stay here in the end.
However, only after half a minute, Zhang Tie had been shocked by a news from a drinker at another table. A few days ago, Huaiyuan Palace sold the entire Taian City to the imperial household of Norman Empire.
'Sold a city? ' Zhang Tie didn't respond to this news for quite a while. Taian City was the northernmost military city in Huaiyuan Prefecture. It had high and thick city walls, vast land, sparsely populated and fertile land. Being close to the natural moat of Yuanjiang River, it was the gateway of the entire Huaiyuan Prefecture. It was really a big deal for both the seller and the buyer to sell it to the imperial household of Norman Empire. Zhang Tie didn't know what price did the imperial household of Norman Empire pay for such a city; however, he knew that it must be a terrifying price.
At this moment, Taian City had been renamed as Hope City. It had become a stronghold of the imperial household of Norman Empire in the south of Blackson Humans Corridor. A lot of people of Norman Empire would arrive there by airship every day.
When he recalled that the airship fleet of Jinyun Country had started to evacuate people of Norman Empire after leaving Selnes Theater of Operations and that Huaiyuan Palace had sold another city, Zhang Tie knew that there must be some secret tricks or deals between them. However, besides very few parties, nobody else could guess about such deals and schemes.
In the pub, Zhang Tie had heard the name of Lin Changjiang for many times. This marshal of Norman Empire who had inflicted heavy losses on the demon army was as hot as the sun in the midday sky across Blackson Humans Corridor. He had become the idol of many people. Even those disobedient mercenaries and paladins would show respect when they mentioned this name.
In the holy war, the one who could kill the most demons would be a well-deserved hero of the human race. Lin Changjiang lived up to his reputation.
Many mercenaries were talking about their tasks. The most common task was to clear demonized puppets in the north. Big mercenary groups would take over big clearing tasks while smaller mercenary groups would take over small and sporadic clearing tasks. The rewards of these tasks were very rich. According to the current "market price", the head of the most common demonized puppet was worth 1 gold coin. If there were more than 100 demonized puppets, the price would be doubled. Because there might be demonized puppets above LV 6 in those demonized puppets. If there were more than 500 demonized puppets, the price would be doubled; if there were more than 1000 demonized puppets, the price would be doubled. If they wanted to clear more than 10,000 demonized puppets, they would have to pay at least 100,000 gold coins for a large mercenary group.
In recent years, mercenary groups across Blackson Humans Corridor had made a lot of money and meritorious deeds through clearing demonized puppets. As a result, many mercenary groups in Armes the Mercenary Empire had expanded in scale.
Although the holy war had just begun, powerful fighting forces had started to play more and more important roles and positions in more and more places and on more and more occasions, such as the iron-blood troop of Norman Empire and the mercenary groups of Armes, the Mercenary Empire. As a result, the status of fighters rose sharply. This holy war might be a disaster for many commoners; however, it was the beginning of a golden age for fighters and cultivators. The war would collapse the original order while the new order would be established on iron fists, sabers and swords.
After each holy war, fighters and cultivators would have a higher overall position in the human society. Zhang Tie wondered what the human society would be like after this holy war.
Zhang Tie became thoughtful.
As Zhang Tie was sitting on a chair beside the stage and drinking, the erotic dancer slowly moved closer to Zhang Tie. After Zhang Tie drank up a glass of wine, the erotic dancer's pair of white rabbits had almost reached Zhang Tie's face.
The erotic dancer's pair of "white rabbits" and her three-point underwear which was knitted by fine metal chains were looming in front of Zhang Tie. At the same time, her breasts and buttocks constantly quivered in front of Zhang Tie and made various flirtatious postures towards Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie's face slightly blushed. Although he was not a newbie, it was his first time to be teased by a woman in such a semi-public place while being surrounded by so many men.
Seeing Zhang Tie's embarrassed look, all the onlookers burst out into laughter. Watching a newbie being embarrassed was also one of the amusements here.
Zhang Tie soon recovered his composure. When the woman leaned over and shook her pair of white rabbits in front of his face once again, Zhang Tie noticed the fine sweat beads on her skin under the lustful lamplight. Such a dance was actually very strenuous and forceful. Zhang Tie also noticed that the girl didn't seem to be too old. She just had a hot figure and a pretty mature make-up.
Women who earned money by pleasing men with their bodies were actually very pitiful.
Zhang Tie sighed inside as he took out a gold coin and carefully put it in the metal net between the woman's pair of white rabbits. He tried his best not to touch her body; instead, he smiled and said in a low voice, "Thank you, thanks for your hard work."
The woman paused for a second. After that, she threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie before revealing a smile. After that, she turned around and didn't tease him anymore.
Listening to those people's discussions and dialogues, Zhang Tie had gained a lot of information. When Zhang Tie was going to leave, three people entered the pub. After glancing around, they directly walked towards Zhang Tie with an aggressive look.
"Were you the one who killed a few of my men?" One of them walked to the front of Zhang Tie as he forcefully pressed his hands onto Zhang Tie's table and glared at Zhang Tie in a condescending manner...
At the sight of this man's posture, everybody in the pub fixed their eyes on Zhang Tie.
Shaking his head, Zhang Tie let out a sigh, "I've not imagined that even dung beetles have an organization!"
