Before Zhang Tie arrived at Black Armor Battlefortress, he had met a squad of knights of Black Armor Army who were patrolling outside the Black Armor Battlefortress.
Because Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian became famous in Black Armor Battlefortress two months ago, all the knights of Black Armor Army who guarded Black Armor Battlefortress had heard about Zhang Tie even though they had not seen him; especially Zhang Tie's bald head and tower-like sturdy figure after disguising as Cui Li, which was a unique brand in Black Armor Battlefortress.
At the sight of Zhang Tie from afar, the squad of knights had flown over here. At the sight of Zhang Tie and the corpse of the shadow demon on his back, the three members of the squad of knights of Black Armor Battlefortress were shocked at once.
One knight couldn't stand exclaiming, "This is the earth knight of the shadow demon!"
"Hehhehheh, I met a brother of the Black Armor Army again. I was lucky this time. After a few days outside, I met this guy who wanted to plot against me. After a fierce fight, I killed this shadow demon luckily!" Zhang Tie burst out laughing. "Hehhehheh!
The three knights of the Black Armored Army didn't believe in luck. This was an Earth Knight, who could kill an Earth Knight by luck? Additionally, this earth knight was not a common demon, but a shadow demon. Everyone in the world knew how tricky shadow demons were.
Since the large-scale battle broke out in Tiewei Mountain, very few earth demon knights had been killed by humans in the periphery of Tiewei Mountain. Additionally, humans also suffered some losses. It was a great thing to kill an earth demon knight. Earth human knights were already officials like provincial governors and Cheji generals in Taixia Country. Earth demon knights might have almost the same status among demons. It was a great meritorious deed for humans or demons to kill an earth demon knight.
The three knights of Black Armor Army watched Zhang Tie with real admiration and reverence. After noticing that Zhang Tie was a bit fatigued after a fierce battle and was heading for Black Armor Fortress with the corpse of the shadow demon on his shoulder, the three knights were worried about Zhang Tie's safety. Therefore, they abandoned their patrolling tasks and escorted Zhang Tie back.
When Zhang Tie came to an entrance of Black Armor Battlefortress, those knights who were accessing to Black Armor Battlefortress with a domineering corpse of the shadow demon on his shoulder were all dumbfounded or had brilliant looks.
"Shadow demon..."
"Shadow Fiend has been killed!"
"That earth shadow demon knight has been killed!"
At the sight of Zhang Tie carrying the corpse of the shadow demon, many knights who were going to leave the Black Armor Battlefortress didn't hurry to leave. Those knights who were going to enter the Black Armor Battlefortress also surrounded Zhang Tie.
To a certain degree, knights were similar to commoners. Commoners liked to watch boisterous scenes, so did knights. However, there was a huge gap between commoners' boisterous scenes and knights' boisterous scenes. If there was a fight between boorish men on the street, commoners would go there to watch it while knights would ignore it. However, if a shadow demon was killed, knights would still be attracted.
Shadow demons were too rare. Most of the knights could only see pictures of shadow demons since they were young. Less than 1 in 100 knights could see the appearance of living shadow demons or their corpses.
In the blink of an eye, the news spread over the entire Black Armor Battlefortress.
When Zhang Tie entered the Black Armor Battlefortress from the entrance with the shadow demon on his shoulder, he had been crowded with knights in front of and behind him. Some knights directly flew into the sky in order to take a look at the look of the shadow demon.
Closely after that, exclamations and gasps reverberated in the Black Armor Battlefortress.
Each time Zhang Tie moved forward, those onlookers would scatter like a tide and make way for him.
Of course, at this moment, nobody dared fly above Zhang Tie's head to watch him. They just surrounded Zhang Tie like an iron bucket and kept a distance from him.
"Golden horn with purple grains, tail like a four-edged steel whip, skin like boa scales and sharp black bone spurs on the top of its wings. Right, this is the physical feature of the shadow demon after promoting to an earth knight..." A knight exclaimed out of excitement.
"Who's this earth knight who killed the shadow demon?" A knight who had just arrived at the Black Armor Battlefortress threw an admiring glance at Zhang Tie after seeing the corpse of the shadow demon clearly. Closely after that, he asked another knight on his side.
"Cui LI, Cui LI from Yongzhou Province!"
"Ahh, he's Cui LI from Yongzhou Province?"
"Have you heard about him?"
"Cui LI from Yongzhou Province is extremely righteous. He sacrificed himself to feed the tiger for his teammates. Finally, he died together with the demon knight. I've heard about him when I was in the Lion Fortress. Isn't Cui LI dead?"
"What you've heard has already passed. Cui LI is not dead; instead, he's benefited from the misfortune and promoted to an earth knight!" That knight watched Zhang Tie with gleaming eyes, "Such a knight could kill a powerful enemy on the battlefield and become famous in the Earth-elements Realm. He deserves the name of earth knight!"
...
The discussions of numerous onlookers drifted into Zhang Tie's mind clearly.
Zhang Tie was neither arrogant nor impatient. Under the various eye lights, he still walked towards the service desk in the center of the square step by step.
At this moment, Zhang Tie's steady footsteps carried an awe-inspiring qi and pressure in the eyes of all the onlookers.
At this moment, the scene that Zhang Tie fought an earth-level shadow demon by carrying a demon on his shoulder was deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the onlookers.
Finally, Zhang Tie came to the front of the service desk.
At the sight of Zhang Tie and the corpse of the shadow demon on his shoulder, the old man widely opened his eyes as wide as bulbs. As an acquaintance of Zhang Tie here, he had not imagined that Zhang Tie could carry the corpse of the shadow demon back 3 days after leaving here.
With a loud sound "bang...", Zhang Tie threw the corpse of the shadow demon onto the desk in front of the old man like throwing a dead pig. After falling onto the desk, the corpse of the shadow demon weighing hundreds of kilograms caused a loud sound at once.
Zhang Tie cracked his mouth as he revealed a smile, "Here, this is the earth-level shadow demon. I'm here to submit my task and receive my reward!"
When Zhang Tie spoke, the onlookers became silent.
Everybody knew the reward of this earth-level shadow demon — — 600 square miles' bounty land and 10 cities in Taixia Country.
It was an eye-catching reward. However, nobody was jealous of Zhang Tie at this moment. Because the corpse of the shadow demon was right there; additionally, Zhang Tie got it aboveboard.
On the battlefield, all the fighters would admire those who had real meritorious deeds and great power, regardless of race or country. Although some people would admire the meritorious deeds and honors brought by great power and fighting, nobody would be jealous of them.
The old man swallowed his saliva before taking in a deep breath. After that, he started to check the corpse of the shadow demon from its head to its foot. After that, he nodded towards Zhang Tie, "I've confirmed that the corpse is indeed an earth-level shadow demon. As for the reward, you don't need to receive it from me..."
"Where can I receive it?"
Before the old man replied, some knights of Black Armor Army had come to the front of Zhang Tie. After bowing towards Zhang Tie respectfully, they said, "Brother Cui Li, our Commander Guan wants to see you!"
'Commander Guan? ' Zhang Tie knew that the one who was guarding Black Armor Battlefortress was a shadow knight surnamed Guan who had formed 3 chakras. Wu Guanhai had told Zhang Tie that this commander was called Guan Qianchong, who was well-known and awe-inspiring across Black Armor Army.
In the top four armies of Taixia Country, those who could be commanders were on an equal footing with the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country. It was said that Cheng Honglie the commander-in-chief of Northeast Military Region of Taixia Country used to be the commander of Black Armor Army.
Previously, even though Zhang Tie had been a bit famous in Black Armor Battlefortress, he had not been received by Commander Guan of Black Armor Army. After Zhang Tie killed the shadow demon, even Commander Guan of Black Armor Army was shocked.
Zhang Tie estimated that Commander Guan might want to talk about the reward with him. Therefore, Zhang Tie followed the other knights of Black Armor Army and left the square.
Watching Zhang Tie leaving, all the onlooking knights rushed to the front of the counter and prepared to take a good look at the shadow demon.
It was said that the shadow demon could change into anyone's look.'It doesn't look like that. How could such a huge thing with a tail change its look?
Knights were also curious!
Watching so many knights surrounding him with gleaming eyes and started to touch it, he couldn't even put away the corpse of the shadow demon. The old man changed his face at once as he hurriedly tried to cover the shadow demon with his hands. However, how could he cover the 3 m longer body of the shadow demon with his hands in front of so many knights?
"Don't push, don't push, don't touch it..." The old man exclaimed as he felt heart-wrenching, "B * stard... why did you press on the shadow demon's wound? Don't you know that the blood of the shadow demon could be made into the most senior disguising medicament... ahh, and you... stop... the scales of the shadow demon could be made into a concealing amulet..."
Hearing the old man's exasperated exclamation, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter...
...
After a few minutes, Zhang Tie followed those knights of Black Armor Army to the top floor of the highest tower in the Black Armor Battlefortress. In a room where he could overlook the entire Black Armor Battlefortress, he saw Guan Qianchong who was in charge of the Black Armor Battlefortress.
Being different than Cheng Honglie, Zhang Tie almost thought that he was deceived when he caught sight of this Guan Qianchong, the commander of the Black Armor Army. Standing in this room was a man with a white face and a pair of slender eyes. He was wearing a cyan long-sleeved robe with a white jade belt around his waist and a scholar's crown on his head. When Zhang Tie caught sight of him, he was reading a book.
He was absolutely a gentle old man. How could he be the commander of Black Armor Army of Taixia Country?
However, when Zhang Tie was confused, this person threw a glance at Zhang Tie and uttered one sentence, which almost made Zhang Tie's heart stop beating.
"What's the relationship between Zhao Yuan the Alchemist Demon and you?"
