Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The colorful clouds in Castle of Black Iron gradually dimmed. When the entire Castle of Black Iron turned dark, Zhang Tie left Castle of Black Iron and appeared in the pine woods on a hillside outside Moorne City.
As usual, the first one who came out to watch the wind was his incarnation of a beetle.
It was a good weather outside Moorne City today. Two moons were hanging in the sky. Plus the stars, it was cloudless. The ground outside Moorne City was like being covered with silver. Even without the help of other light, people could still see far in such a night.
On the hill, it was filled with the chirping of insects and the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the pine woods. It was quiet in the whole world.
Zhang Tie felt it was too quiet.
Moorne City in the distance seemed to be completely asleep. There was no light at all.
Zhang Tie felt a bit strange. Even if Timothy Clan and demons would prevent him from raiding Moorne City once again, Moorne City would not be so silent.
Flapping his wings, Zhang Tie flew towards Moorne City together with some fireflies.
The little black beetle moved very fast. It only took Zhang Tie 5 minutes to arrive at the city wall from the pine woods outside the city.
The city gate of Moorne City was widely opened. Nobody was on the city wall. At the sight of this scene, Zhang Tie felt weird instinctively.
He sped up and flew into the city.
On the broad streets of Moorne City, only some stray dogs and cats were wandering and whining in a low voice. Even stray dogs might not adapt to such a scene.
The little black beetle started to fly higher. He circled around Moorne City at an altitude of more than 200 meters.
In the beginning, Zhang Tie thought it was a trap of demons or another trap. However, after circling around Moorne City, he found that it was not a trap at all. Instead, the entire Moorne City had become an empty city.
All the people in the city had disappeared. The city seemed to have been completely abandoned.
'What happened? ' A huge question flashed across Zhang Tie's mind. Without any delay, Zhang Tie had the little black beetle fly to a hidden place. After transforming his incarnation, the thunder hawk instantly rushed into the sky and flew towards the nearest city of Moorne City.
He didn't know why, but when he saw the empty city, he couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Tie felt a great sense of uneasiness in his heart. Accompanied by that restless feeling, Zhang Tie felt a great sorrow.
It only took Zhang Tie less than half an hour to arrive at Searcy City which was the closest city to Moorne City in Golan Empire.
The Thunder Hawk hovered above Sessie City, scanning everything on the ground with its sharp eyes.
Like Moorne City, the whole Cyrene City was empty. The city gate was wide open, and there was no one in the city.
There were no traces of a massacre, no destruction brought about by the riots. It was as if the entire city had suddenly evaporated.
These people. Of course, they would not evaporate out of no reason. Zhang Tie thought of a possibility. However, it was too sad for the people in the two cities. Therefore, Zhang Tie avoided this possibility subconsciously.
'No, no, there must be another reason... '
Zhang Tie reminded himself over and over again as he rushed into the sky and flew towards the south.
After a few hours, Zhang Tie had seen one human city after another in the demon's territory — — Millwall, St. Paul, Gofa, Duluth, Williston, Kanjiken...
Like Moorne City, these cities had become completely empty. There was not a single person in the entire city.
Zhang Tie's heart turned icy completely. The temporary warm and comfortable feeling in Castle of Black Iron had been deeply shattered.
More and more empty cities made the possibility that Zhang Tie was most afraid of become a reality.
Zhang Tie continued to fly towards the south. After a few hours, he had passed by the entire Golan Empire and the Bassas Kingdom in the south of Golan Empire and came to the DiCarro Plain in the north of Verov Federation.
In the starlight, Zhang Tie saw so many people walking towards the south on the DiCarro Plain. Those people were not humans, but walking corpses.
The entire DiCarro Plain was covered with walking corpses. Wherever these people passed by, grass roots, tree barks, large or small animals on the plain such as rhinoceroses, wild elephants, rats and cockroaches all became their food.
Endless demonized puppets swept over the entire DeCarlos Plain like locusts. Wherever they passed by, not even a blade of grass could be seen. Looking down from the sky, those dense demonized puppets were like maggots surging in a dirty cesspool.
With bloody eyes, demonized puppets ate everything that they could touch as they walked. Some demonized puppets wore simple armors and held weapons such as sabers and swords; some demonized puppets only held a kitchen knife or a dung fork...
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem There were over 20 million demonized puppets across DeCarlos Plain. All the demonized puppets were moving towards south!
After the thunder hawk disappeared, Zhang Tie reappeared 10,000 m high in the air. Lowering his head, he watched the endless demonized puppets under his feet as his eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets. Meanwhile, bloody tears flowed out of his eye sockets.
For Zhang Tie, those walking corpses under his feet were not demonized puppets, but common humans who were killed by demons.
At this moment, Zhang Tie understood that there was not a single living human in the demon's territory. Before that, there were still about 200 million people living in the demon's territory and under the rule of those clans of Three-eye Association.
This was the cruelest side of the holy war.
Zhang Tie's bloody tears dropped off along with the wind from 10,000 m high in the air. He raised his head and roared sadly before disappearing in the sky.
...
Two hours later, in a hidden place outside Williams Lake City, a small city in the south of Verov Federation, a direct member of Arthur Clan quivered all over as he rolled his eyes. It seemed that he wanted to see Zhang Tie's withered claw on his head...
In less than half a minute, Zhang Tie had known what happened these days from this person's head.
Zhang Tie released his battle qi and broke that person's bones into pieces before he uttered a harrumph. Zhang Tie then threw that person into the Abyss of Chaos before disappearing once again...
...
Titanic Duchy... Selnes Plain... Symbian Republic... the north of Norman Empire...
Endless demonized puppets surged towards Kalay Mountain Range. Nobody across Blackson Humans Corridor could stop this torrent which could destroy everything...
At this moment, Zhang Tie's tears had dried up, leaving only great fury and the deep-rooted hatred in his heart.
Demon General... Three-eye Association...
Zhang Tie carved the two names on his bones...
...
On the evening of June 19th, after two and a half years, Zhang Tie returned to the encampment of Hurricane Corps in Huaiyuan Prefecture silently.
The little black beetle drilled into the underground palace through a hidden air hole in the rockery of the corps leader's temporary palace. Zhang Tie also dispersed his incarnation of Gorath and returned to his original look.
The underground palace remained as same as before. Nobody broke in or disturbed him over the past two years. The emergency device to wake him up had not been activated either...
After walking around the underground palace, Zhang Tie threw some living materials into Castle of Black Iron as if he had spent two years in the underground palace.
After that, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and stood there for a while in the underground palace to recover his surging emotions. Finally, he sat on the ground with crossed legs and entered the elements realm for cultivation.
Zhang Tie knew that the real test was coming.
And in the future war, every bit of strength he gained would increase the possibility of killing the enemy, and also increase the hope of his own survival.
Zhang Tie had never been so eager to be powerful.
In the elements realm...
Soon after Zhang Tie entered a trance, the first huge hand formed by spiritual energy had appeared in the elements realm and started to capture those yellow, multi-faceted earth elements crystals …
Soon, the second hand of spiritual strength appeared...
Then the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh...
There were altogether 7 hands of spiritual strength in the Elements Realm. Each of the 7 hands of spiritual strength was very agile like being controlled by a knight. The 7 hands of spiritual strength would coordinate with each other to catch the polyhedral crystals of earth elements one after another and throw them into Zhang Tie's running earth chakra. After crushing them, the complex geometric patterns on his second earth chakra gradually became enriched.
At this moment, Zhang Tie's cultivation speed was already 7 times that of common knights.
...
In such a cultivation, Zhang Tie almost didn't feel the elapse of time. Not knowing how long had he heard a loud bell ring, Zhang Tie opened his eyes.
The emergency wakeup device in the underground palace had already been activated. Besides the bell ringing in the underground palace, red fluorite lamps had been extended from the top of the rooms in the underground palace. Those fluorite lamps were also flickering, rendering the entire underground palace into shocking red. At the same time, Zhang Tie's tiger tally of corps leader was transmitting a wave of remote-sensing communication.
The bell in the underground palace rang once more. The melodious and crisp sound of the bell echoed throughout the underground palace.
Zhang Tie raised his head and looked at the time. It was 7 am on June 21st. He got up and tidied his clothes. After that, he walked to the gate of the underground palace with a calm look and opened the gate of the underground palace. After 2 and a half years of "closed cultivation", he finally came out...
