"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Hmm, take a seat!" Zhang Tie glanced over those elders and Hags, the clan head of sea bear tribe.
At the sight of the sea bear tribe, Zhang Tie had understood something. These years, this tribe was responsible for investigating the north coastal region of Blackson Humans Corridor so that Sacred Iceland Kingdom could grasp the movements of demons on their side. If demons were going to attack Ice and Snow Wilderness, they would definitely make a big move in the north coastal region of Blackson Humans Corridor.
Seeing them sitting down again, Zhang Tie also sat down on the main seat.
"I was told by a female official that some elders and clan head Hags have an urgent military intelligence to report to me. Did demons make a big movement in Blackson Humans Corridor?" Zhang Tie asked with a solemn look.
At this moment, Zhang Tie exerted his talent in disguise once again. When he uttered that sentence, his facial expression and tone were both on point.
Although saying so, Zhang Tie couldn't help praying inside, 'God forgive me. Although it's not nice to do so, given that I was honest before, please let me pretend to be dumb for a while.'
Elder Toles opened his mouth, "This news is indeed related to demons. When we got this news, we were also very surprised. All the elders felt that it was of great importance. Therefore, we thought of reporting it to His Majesty as soon as possible!"
"What's up?" Zhang Tie slightly frowned. The voice deepened and was filled with dignity.
The elders exchanged glances before shifting their gazes to Hags.
Haggs took a deep breath. He then stood up and uttered an "earth-shattering" sentence, "The demonized army in Blackson Humans Corridor... it seems... seems to have died out. That super demon corps and those Three-eye Association clans in Blackson Humans Corridor have disappeared mysteriously!"
Zhang Tie was so shocked that he sprung up from his chair at once. Closely after that, he slowly sat back as he watched Hags with a solemn look and said in a slightly cold tone. "As the clan head of sea bear tribe, do you know the consequence of saying that in front of the Cardinal Elders Committee?"
Under Zhang Tie's "dignified" look, Hags gritted his teeth. "I know. I will be responsible for everything I say today. If there is any falsehood in my words, I am willing to accept punishment!"
"Alright. Then tell me the basis and process by which you came to that conclusion! "
"Last year, after the demon army crossed the Kalay Mountain Range. The sea bear tribe received the order from the Cardinal Elders Committee to strengthen the surveillance and investigation on the north coastal cities of Blackson Humans Corridor. From then on, I dispatched elite demon shark cavalries to strengthen the surveillance on the north coastal cities of Blackson Humans Corridor. In March this year, some anomalies in the north coastal cities of Blackson Humans Corridor aroused our attention and were discovered by our fighters. Since March, the demonized puppets army in the south of Blackson Humans Corridor had arrived. In a short period of time, those empty coastal cities were crowded with numerous demonized puppets corps. After receiving this information and confirming it, we reported it to the Cardinal Elders Committee right away... "
Elder Gouras interrupted, "After receiving the information from the sea bear tribe, the Cardinal Elders Committee was also very nervous. At that time, the demon army had already occupied Blackson Humans Corridor. Therefore, the sudden northward movement of the demon army was very abnormal. We thought that the demon army was preparing to attack the Sacred Iceland Kingdom in the north. Therefore, we ordered the Ewentra Mixed Fleet to enter the Class II combat readiness. However, what happened later on was abnormal..." Elder Gouras threw a glance at Hags, signaling him to continue.
"Fighters of the sea bear tribe continued to monitor the situation in the north coastal area of Blackson Humans Corridor. We found that the demonized puppets corps didn't prepare for the war in the north coastal area; instead, they continued to retreat towards the inland area in the north. Because the land was covered with demonized puppets, our fighters didn't penetrate into the inland area to investigate what happened. However, in the middle of April, something weird happened. All the demonized puppets seemed to have disappeared from the continent. Not a single demonized puppet could be seen in the north coastal area of Blackson Humans Corridor anymore. In the beginning, we thought that demons were playing tricks. Therefore, we observed them for 2 weeks. In late April, when we didn't see any demonized puppets for over 10 days, some brave fighters of our sea bear tribe finally deepened into the inland cities to investigate!"
"They didn't see any demonized puppets in those cities; instead, they saw numerous horrifying corpses of demonized puppets. Given the corpses, they seemed to be infected by a terrifying ptomaine miasma. After that, we reported it to the group of elders. Meanwhile, the bravest fighters of our tribe deepened into the inland cities of Blackson Humans Corridor for investigation. What they found was very shocking. All the demonized puppets across Blackson Humans Corridor seemed to have disappeared. Only a lot of rotten corpses were left in those cities and places where demonized puppets once gathered. One of the two brave fighters on my side deepened into the Hurricane Plateau of Golan Empire; the other entered Kalay Mountain Range; however, they didn't find any trace of demonized puppets at all..."
After Hags' introduction, Zhang Tie fixated onto the two fighters on Hags' side, one LV 11, the other LV 12. Both of them had good battle strength. Watching the two fighters' resolute looks and their strong, explosive bodies, Zhang Tie nodded inside. 'Given their looks, Zhang Tie knew they were brave and fearless. No wonder they dared deepen into Golan Empire and Kalay Mountain Range to investigate the situation facing the demonized puppets corps.'
"Tell me what you've seen." Zhang Tie asked the two fighters.
Zhang Tie started from the fighter on the left of Hags. The two fighters told Zhang Tie about what they had seen in Hurricane Plateau and Kalay Mountain Range in Golan Empire by turns.
'Corpses, corpses, besides corpses, they didn't see anything else.'
"How do you know that those corpses were demonized puppets? Additionally, how are you sure that those corpses were killed by a terrifying ptomaine miasma?"
"When demonized puppets marched southward, nobody was alive in the north of Blackson Humans Corridor. The demonized puppets army marched southward and conquered cities and territories. All of them have either fought to death or become the food of demonized puppets. We've seen too many corpses. Some of the corpses might belong to humans; however, we believe that most of the corpses should be left by demonized puppets! "
"Furthermore, the bones left behind after the corpses had completely decomposed were all black. Therefore, we were certain that those corpses had died from a kind of terrifying ptomaine miasma in the Kalay mountain range. Wherever there are those bodies. Even the beasts and insects don't dare to come close … "
The two fighters of the sea bear tribe replied in a muffled voice.
"How many corpses do you think there are in the north of Kalay Mountains?"
The two warriors looked at each other.
"We don't know the concrete number. However, according to our estimation, there should be at least 100 million corpses. From the north of Kalay Mountain Range to the entrance of the underground world in Hurricane Plateau where the super demon corps appeared, we could see a lot of corpses everywhere!"
Zhang Tie was impressed by the two fighters of the sea bear tribe at once, 'These two brave warriors are really brave.' In the words of the Chinese, those who were brave and resourceful could be considered as talented generals. No wonder Haggs thought so highly of him.
"Brave warriors of the sea bear tribe, tell me your names." Zhang Tie's voice turned tender at once.
"I'm Shirokov!"
"I'm Alkin!"
The two fighters chested out as they replied.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he pointed at the two long swords hanging on the wall in the parlor, "Those are rune long swords gifted to me by a major clan in Ewentra Archipelago. From now on, they belong to you. One for each of you. Only real brave warriors would not disgrace such weapons! Later on, you could enter the Summer Palace with them. "
"Thanks, Your Majesty!" The two fighters of the sea bear tribe took in a deep breath as they heavily pounded their chests to control their excitement. After that, they strode to the wall and picked off the two long swords generously. After putting them into their waists, they returned to Haggs' side.
Receiving a sword in the parlor and entering the imperial palace with a sword was a great honor for any tribal fighter in Ice and Snow Wilderness, which could make them and their family members proud for generations.
Zhang Tie's reward also made Haggs' face glow. He knew that this was not only the affirmation of his fighters, but the affirmation of the entire sea bear tribe.
Zhang Tie pretended to think about it. After being silent for a short while, he asked Pontiff Sarlin, "What do you think, elders?"
"A major accident must have happened in Blackson Humans Corridor that even demons could not imagine. The only problem is that we don't know where the demon corps and the demon general are! The super demon corps might be exterminated by the terrifying ptomaine miasma; however, the 17 human knights including the demon general would not be killed by the ptomaine miasma! "Elder Gouras said with a frown.
"No matter what, the news that the demonized puppets army was exterminated in Blackson Humans Corridor could shock the entire human world. We don't need to investigate the whereabouts of the demon general, his subordinate knights and that super demon corps. We only need to release the news that the terrifying ptomaine miasma killed almost 200 million demonized puppets. Then, someone would help us figure out what happened in Blackson Humans Corridor. It's a good thing for Sacred Iceland Kingdom." Elder Turin said shrewdly.
"Let me do it then!" Pontiff Sarlin revealed a smile, "No matter what, my code name in the Mountain of Brightness is not a secret to many people. Sacred Iceland Kingdom also needs a channel to pass its voice to the outside."
All the elders nodded their heads in agreement.
"Elder Sarlin, can you see the future of Waii Sub-continent?" Zhang Tie suddenly asked.
"Since half a year ago, the entire Waii Sub-continent has been covered by a dense black mist, which prevented me from seeing any fragments about this Sub-continent. At that time, I thought that the black fog was the symbol of the demon race, and I was deeply worried about it for a long time. However, it seems that the black mist might be another unknown and powerful strength! "Elder Sarlin let out a sigh.
Zhang Tie didn't speak anymore. At this moment, he knew that everything was almost ready. He only needed to wait for the result.
The hidden danger that threatened Ice and Snow Wilderness and Sacred Iceland Kingdom was finally eliminated. As long as the demon army could not occupy Waii Sub-continent, it would not be able to complete the preparation for the war against Ice and Snow Wilderness and cause any substantial threat to Ice and Snow Wilderness. However, in the current situation, unless the heads of demons had been kicked by donkeys, they would never appear in a completely barren land where over 200 million demonized puppets had been devoured. The fatal ptomaine miasma was everywhere. There was no resource to be plundered on the Sub-continent anymore.
Compared to the other subcontinents, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, the Sacred Iceland Kingdom was just a grain of sand in the ocean of this world. Additionally, it was in such a bitter and barren land. In order to pick up such a sesame seed, demons had to throw out some watermelons. Nobody would like to do such a deal. For demons, the entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom was like a piece of cake. They had already lost the value of seizing and occupying it. After Waii Sub-continent was abandoned, this place became a desert. It had become an enclave that was like a paradise. Before the fall of the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent, the Demon Race would never organize forces to carry out a fruitless expedition here.
The only thing that Zhang Tie needed to prevent was that some hidden Three-eye Association clans might lay their eyes on Sacred Iceland Kingdom like parasites who wanted to root, sprout and bear fruits here so as to overthrow Sacred Iceland Kingdom in another way. It was another struggle to deal with Three-eye Association. However, after the Three-eye Association clans in Waii Sub-continent were completely eradicated, it would take the new Three-eye Association clans at least dozens of years to establish their own positions and forces in this country. There's no chance for those Three-eye Association clans to intervene in the current Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
Zhang Tie fulfilled his promise to stick to Ice and Snow Wilderness in another way.
This was Zhang Tie's final preparation before returning to the Eastern Continent, including the craziness these days. Because Zhang Tie didn't know when would he return to this place next time. The craziness was communication, compensation, carnival, gift and comfort.
O'Laura, Olina, even Sabrina who had been completely conquered by him last night, although they didn't say it, Zhang Tie could see their desire to continue their bloodlines in their madness. Zhang Tie would leave his bloodline in Sacred Iceland Kingdom; however, he was going to leave for Taixia Country.
If there was no holy war, Zhang Tie might bring his family members here from Taixia Country or take his family members here to Taixia Country and live a normal life in Sacred Iceland Kingdom or the Eastern Continent. However, in the holy war, Zhang Tie couldn't stay in a safe place while his friends, relatives and clansmen were still threatened by demons. O'Laura, Olina and Olina belonged to this place. They didn't want to leave here.
At this moment, Sacred Iceland Kingdom might be as safe as Taixia Country; however, as long as humans didn't win this holy war, this safety would always be temporary.
Donder once said that a man could betray anything except his own bloodline.
Zhang Tie couldn't betray his bloodline either.
In the future, the fiercest battle between demons and humans would break out between Hua people and demons in Taixia Country.
Therefore, Zhang Tie had to go back.
As long as Taixia Country didn't collapse, humans would exist forever.
Even if Zhang Tie was not here, as long as he was fighting demons and Taixia Country could still stand on the Eastern Continent, it would also be a kind of protection for this place.
"Tribal Axis Railway Company has accumulated a lot of profits and capital over these years. With the increase of population in Ice and Snow Wilderness, many places could be developed. A few days ago, Tribal Axis Railway Company and Golden Roc Bank have already proposed to me about building a new railway. I think the next section of Tribal Axis Railway could be connected to sea bear tribe. This section of railway is over 1,700 miles long. Sea bear tribe could raise capital or mobilize tribal laborers to participate in the construction of this section of railway. Sea bear tribe could share 40% of the shares of this section of railway and participate in the operation of this section of railway!"
Zhang Tie's principle was to reward meritorious deeds. Sea bear tribe's performance over these years was remarkable. Zhang Tie had to set a good example for the other tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness with the help of sea bear tribe.
Hags, the clan head of sea bear tribe sprung up out of excitement as he punched his chest forcefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hags became thrilled. Because he knew that Zhang Tie's proposal meant millions of gold coins' income for sea bear tribe each year. Although sea bear tribe was poor, they still had a lot of laborers. Therefore, they could raise some money. In the worst case, as long as he released the news that he could raise a lot of gold coins from those nouveau riches in Ewentra Archipelago or from Golden Roc Bank, he could raise a lot of gold coins with the future earnings or shares of the railway.
...
Only after a few hours, an article titled "First-hand Information: Terrifying Ptomaine Miasma Exterminated 200 Million Demon Corps in Waii Sub-continent" was released in the Mountain of Brightness.
The entire Radiant Mountain began to tremble … (To be continued …)
