Only after Zhang Tie came out of his secluded cultivation for one week, the news that demons slaughtered all the humans in the north and almost 200 million demonized puppets and super demon corps were approaching Kalay Mountain Range had spread over the entire countries in the south of Kalay Mountain Range. Even commoners had known it.
The entire countries in the south of Kalay Mountain Range were flurried.
Those who brought this news to commoners were paladins and demon hunting squads in the Northern Theater of Operations and bandits and robbers who escaped from the north to the south like stray dogs. After escaping to the south, all the bandits and robbers tucked their tails between their legs and became the heroic human "resistance force" in the demons' territory.
However, a few smarter people sensed the doomsday from the real rulers and major clans in the south of Kalay Mountain Range.
In consecutive days, the major clans and even the royal families of the countries closest to the south of Kalay Mountain Range had been flurried towards the south. In those cities in the south, as long as people were not blind, they would find that more and more airships were flying towards the south these days. By contrast, the number of airships flying towards the north was almost gone.
The entire Blackson Humans Corridor was shocked.
...
On June 28th, Qihai City, Huaiyuan Prefecture...
Although the harbor of Qihai City had expanded a lot through 3 years' expansion, it was still much smaller than Yiyang Harbor, the largest harbor in Huaiyuan Prefecture. Although it was still a lot smaller, Qi Hai Harbor had the capacity to dock 50,000 ton ships at this time.
Although Zhang Tie had stayed in Huaiyuan Prefecture for many years, it was his first time. However, it was his first time to come to Qihai City.
At this moment, Qihai City was not called Qihai City anymore; instead, it was given a new name by Norman Empire, which was more suitable for Norman Empire — — Heidner.
However, Zhang Tie was still used to call it Qihai City.
A 40,000-ton battleship was parked at a pier of Qi Hai City's port. Colorful flags were fluttering on the battleship. On the pier below the battleship. A military band in tidy uniforms of the Norman Empire was playing a passionate and cheerful Fleet March.
There were not many people on the wharf. The soldiers of the Norman Empire had blocked the entire wharf. Zhang Tie was one of them.
Today, Zhang Tie was here to bid off Filis, the crown prince of Norman Empire. As the ostentation of the imperial household, Filis had to leave even at this moment. That feeling. It was like a joyful and solemn ceremony.
Filis left in a low-key manner. Besides his close subordinates, Zhang Tie was almost the only one who came to bid farewell to him.
After knowing that 200 million demonized puppets were moving towards the south in an overwhelming manner, the crown prince of Norman Empire who stayed in Benolisburg finally received the order from the imperial household of Norman Empire to leave Waii Sub-continent.
Donder once told Zhang Tie that when the enemy was powerful enough, his opponent would always collapse without even fighting. In the face of such an enemy, they would fall even faster than the frontline soldiers. It was the confidence of those outside the battlefield.
When they couldn't see the hope of victory, very few people would persist to fight on. The decisive strike of demons and Three-eye Association not only overdrew the future war potential of the entire demon area and the power and wealth of the clans of Three-eye Association, but also collapsed the will of most of the countries in the south of Kalay Mountain Range.
This strike involved the strength of the 17 countries in the north of Blackson Corridor.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem 200 million, the moment Zhang Tie thought about it, his scalp would numb. Even if there were fleas and mice behind it, it would also be terrifying, not to mention demonized puppets which were extremely terrifying for commoners.
That was what was called a life-and-death struggle.
Filis was not the first important figure who left Waii Sub-continent today. Within one week, Zhang Tie knew that two knights from southern countries had already left Waii Sub-continent. As a result, the advantage of human knights was disappearing, which accelerated the mental collapse of more people. The entire southern countries in Kalay Mountain Range seemed to be in a depressing vicious circle.
At this moment, it was meaningless for Filis to stay in Benolisburg anymore.
Knight Leo, Filis' teacher, would escort Filis out of Waii Sub-continent. Therefore, from today on, 3 knights had left Waii Sub-continent.
Zhang Tie couldn't say anything. Because it was each person's own choice. Although such a choice was not noble at this moment, it was also irreproachable.
As the last imperial household member of Norman Empire to leave Waii Sub-continent, Filis was a bit sentimental today. Facing Zhang Tie who was here to bid farewell to him, Filis revealed his true feelings more or less.
"I believe that good luck will always run out no matter whether it's a person or a country!" Filis sighed with emotion as he watched the harbor in front of him, "Two years ago, when Gorath the black-robe knight appeared in the area occupied by demons and turned the demons upside down, I thought that Norman Empire's good luck had come. Because of Gorath, Norman Empire and the northern human countries won the most precious 2.5 years to evacuate. As a result, a lot of people were saved. I once thought that we could continue to confront with demons in Kalay Mountain Range and gradually gain an advantage over them until the end of the holy war so that Norman Empire could recover its homeland. However, now, I understand that in the holy war, no luck could match the real battle strength. Some things could not be prevented even if there was one more Gorath. It's said that the elite special forces of Hurricane Corps have already entered Kalay Mountain Range a couple of days ago and prepared to fight demons. Will you laugh at me if I leave at this moment?"
"Of course not!"
"Really?" Filis seemed to mind the opinion of the youngest Hua knight of Huaiyuan Palace who was a bit younger than him. He even confirmed it repeatedly.
"If I were in your position, I would have left much earlier. Besides, the Holy War is still going on for a long time. As long as we're alive, there's always a chance to turn the tables! "Zhang Tie said seriously.
A smile appeared on Filis's face. "I'm going to the Western Continent this time. I wonder when we'll meet again?"
"When we win the Holy War, we'll meet here again!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Filis became stunned for a second. Closely after that, he realized that it was a joke. Therefore, he burst out into laughter. "Alright, let's meet here again on the day we win the Holy War!"
"Then it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
The two of them exchanged a palm strike.
"If one day you return to the Eastern Continent. If you're on the way, you can pay a visit to Blood Dragon City in the Gui Province … "Felix suggested.
"Blood Dragon City?"
"Where are my two brothers? When they left here, I told them about you. Bloody Dragon City is a city built by the imperial household of Norman Empire in Taixia Country. You know. As for our imperial household, if we could preserve a branch of our clan bloodline in the Eastern Continent, our clan bloodline would not die out no matter what happens to the Western Continent in this holy war! "
"Fine, I see!" Zhang Tie nodded. Filis's words implied that Zhang Tie could take care of him when it was convenient. After all, the Eastern Continent was not like Taixia Country. Norman Empire treated Taixia Country as a safe. Given their clan power in Taixia Country, they might not lack money. However, they didn't have such a precious resource as knights.
In the Eastern Continent, Hua people ruled everything. Sometimes, with the relationship of a Hua knight like Zhang Tie, the imperial household members of Norman Empire who exiled to Taixia Country might have fewer troubles.
"Handsome, little inner demon!" Filis embraced Zhang Tie and said the last words to Zhang Tie. After that, they boarded the battleship in the jubilant music.
Before leaving, Filis's teacher threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie with an amazed look. As a knight who had met Zhang Tie twice in the past 3 years, only he could sense the difference and power of Zhang Tie's introverted temperament. Such a change was very terrifying for a person who had just promoted to a knight for about 3 years.
…
The battleship left the wharf and soon moved 1,000 m away. Standing on the deck of the battleship, Filis and Knight Leo, his teacher, were enjoying the sea breeze and watching the scene at the wharf. They both knew that Norman Empire had completely abandoned this place this time.
If Blackson Humans Corridor was the homeland of the imperial household of Norman Empire, the entire imperial household of Norman Empire would leave their homeland and start a new life on the Western Continent. The only fortunate thing was that the imperial household of Norman Empire had a deep root in the Western Continent. Like how Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace had a deep-rooted relationship network in Taixia Country, Lemini Clan on the Western Continent, as a branch of Lemini Clan in this subcontinent, also had a flourishing network.
In each holy war, major human clans would have a chance to redivide their clans' sphere of influence. Some clans would collapse; some clans would rise. The imperial household of Norman Empire had not completely collapsed at this moment. They still had a chance to start a new life.
When he recalled the agreement with Zhang Tie just now, Filis's heart raced.
"Zhang Tie is very terrifying!" Knight Leo who had been silent suddenly opened his mouth.
Filis turned around and watched his teacher with a faintly stunned look.
"No matter what, don't be his enemy!" Knight Leo watched Filis with a solemn look.
"Ah, teacher, why do you say that? I feel that after not seeing Zhang Tie for two and a half years, he seems to be more amiable. He's much less aggressive than that when he was rotating the coronation ceremony. I almost thought that I mistook him for someone else or there's something wrong with his cultivation! "Filis said with an amazed look.
'Amiable? There's something wrong with his cultivation? ' After hearing such adjectives and recognition, Knight Leo revealed a bitter smile as he said, "You're not a knight. I couldn't explain many things in the knight's world to you. However, you have to believe in my judgment and feelings. My cultivation method endows me with a very powerful perception of unknown things. This person is very terrifying. Perhaps, you could also hear his name in Western Continent in a few years!"
Only then did Filis's expression change completely … (To be continued, please search? Astronomy? Novels are better and updated faster!
