Nobody uttered a sound. Only the rustling sound of paper could be heard in the conference room.
The morning sunlight shone in through a window of the conference room, shining on the face of the young man sitting at the head of the long table in the conference room. Over two years, the man's face didn't seem to have changed much, but his skin was still white as if he hadn't seen the sun for two years.
When that man lowered his head and skimmed over the 2 years' brief reports, all the commissioned officers in the conference room were stealthily glancing at him.
For many commissioned officers, since this man came to Hurricane Corps for less than 3 years, they could only see him twice. The first time was when this man came to Hurricane Corps; the second time was today.
Compared to the time when this man came to Hurricane Corps on November 10th, the 895th year of Black Iron Calendar, this man's qi seemed to have changed. At that time, this man was sharp and as deep as the ocean. However, after over 2 years' ascetic cultivation, this man's sharpness and deep qi had completely disappeared. He became an extremely common teenager. His qi could even make people feel dangerous.
For these commissioned officers who had not promoted to knights, they didn't know what Zhang Tie's change meant. They didn't know what Zhang Tie's change meant. Many of them were even surprised and confused. They thought that Zhang Tie had encountered some problems in his secluded cultivation. Zhang Tie had regressed. However, if a clan elder of Huaiyuan Palace was here and saw Zhang Tie's change, he would definitely be shocked.
Poor people liked to show off their wealth; however, rich people preferred to be low-key.
Newly sharpened swords radiated brilliance and couldn't wait to show off their sharpness to the whole world. However, the real unrivaled swords knew how to hide their sharpness in the blunt sheath.
Great skill might appear clumsy. For a knight, returning to his natural state. It was a realm that could only be reached through numerous life-or-death tests and unimaginable tempering. If one wanted to reach this realm, he should not only have a higher battle strength, but also need to sublimate his spirit and soul. Many black iron knights who had just promoted to a black iron knight could not even touch the border of this realm without at least 20 years of ascetic cultivation. However, Zhang Tie only spent two and a half years in secluded cultivation. Although the two and a half years' secluded cultivation was very long for commoners, it was a short period for knights. A closed-door cultivation of less than ten years could not be considered long.
The commissioned officers of Hurricane Corps didn't understand what Zhang Tie's calm and common qi meant. However, Zhang Tie's invisible qi field and qi field could be sensed even though he didn't say anything. He didn't do anything. He just sat there and quietly read the briefing in his hand, but he still affected everyone silently.
That kind of temperament was tranquility — the tranquility and indifference that would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west every day, like the moon waxing and waning every month, the Heavenly Dao was constant. When had the sun and moon ever changed their orbits because of an external object?
Because of Zhang Tie's calmness, in the conference room. The officers, who were originally anxious, slowly calmed down.
"Not bad!" After reading the briefing, Zhang Tie made such a brief comment, "You've done a good job these two years!"
Over the past two years, a part of the maneuver troop of Hurricane Corps had made over 7 million gold coins in profit by robbing mercenary groups. The garrisons of Hurricane Corps who were responsible for the military administration and defense of the three cities didn't have a major incident of military discipline. Everything in the three cities was on the right track and thriving. The tax revenue and population of each city kept reaching new highs. Even though the winter in Blackson Humans Corridor last year was extremely cold, the three cities under Huaiyuan Prefecture didn't have a single case of starvation. Each member of the elite special forces of Hurricane Corps had completed at least two rounds of training in rotation during the past two and a half years. The elite special forces had established 117 hidden material supply points in Kalay Mountain Range. Even though their supplies were cut off, they could still stand fighting in Kalay Mountain Range for over 2 years.
It could be said that everything about Hurricane Corps gradually coincided with Zhang Tie's imagination. What he needed was such a Hurricane Corps.
Pitifully, if not this sudden event, Hurricane Corps might have made great achievements in Blackson Humans Corridor. However, the Demon General and Three-eye Association's desperate strike would make Hurricane Corps end its glory prematurely. 'However, all this will not be in vain. This is a seed. Even if Hurricane Corps has to leave Waii Sub-continent in the future, they will also make great achievements in another place. All the honors and glories favor these well-prepared people. 'Zhang Tie told himself inside.
Zhang Tie had already known why the officers of Hurricane Corps woke him up from the underground palace. However, he had to pretend that he didn't know anything. After suppressing his faintly pained heart and full of sorrow, he asked them in a calm tone, "What's the important thing for you to wake me up today?"
After hearing Zhang Tie's question, all the commissioned officers in the conference room fixated onto the chief of staff of Hurricane Corps.
The lieutenant general of Hurricane Corps stood up. After taking in a deep breath, he said with a solemn look, "As the major emergency in the North Theater of Operations in Waii Sub-continent has already caused a fundamental influence on the overall situation facing the holy war across Waii Sub-continent, we have to wake Elder Mushen up and report it to you!"
"Say it!"
"According to the intelligence that we got and confirmed, half a month ago, at the request of the Demon General, 17 clans of Three-eye Association across the northern demons' territory had already killed all the human captives and slaves in their own clans and transformed them into demonized puppets. According to our estimation, these demonized puppets are moving towards Kalay Mountain Range ceaselessly..."
Closely after the chief of staff's words, the atmosphere in the conference room became as solemn as lead...
