When the first high-energy white phosphorous gel bomb started to burn, although Zhang Tie was over 60 miles away, he still caught sight of the flames. When he arrived there, he saw Major Liu Xing being forced into a dilemma by wing demons and spider demons...
Zhang Tie could have launched a counterattack at that moment; however, he decided to watch Major Liu Xing's performance. Therefore, he just became an onlooker for the time being.
What was out of Zhang Tie's imagination was that Major Liu Xing, who looked a bit gentle, was still resolute and righteous in the dilemma. Additionally, he was extremely quick-witted. At the critical moment, he could even kill 3 demon fighters.
In the end, when Zhang Tie found that Major Liu Xing was determined to die and was ready to die with a LV 9 spider demon, Zhang Tie launched a counterattack.
If an earth knight wanted to kill some LV 9 or LV 10 demon fighters, it would be as easy as stepping on some ants.
Although Major Liu Xing's performance was appreciated by Zhang Tie, what really aroused Zhang Tie's interest was the high-energy white phosphorous gel bomb that Major Liu Xing threw out at the end.
Under the gaze of Major Liu Xing, Zhang Tie walked to the front of the burning, charcoal spider demon. Squatting down, Zhang Tie started to check it seriously.
The hard shell of the spider demon had been completely carbonized; however, its flesh and blood were still burning.
Zhang Tie put his hand into the flame and broke off a shriveled tentacle of the spider demon. Holding it in his hand, he watched that shriveled tentacle burning into ashes. After that, he dusted his hands and stood up.
Watching the flame caused by the high-energy white phosphorous gel bomb burning for quite a while in the hand of this knight in a black robe, Major Liu Xing became more shocked inside.
"White phosphorous gel bomb?" Gorath's voice sounded weird, hoarse and icy like the sound caused by the friction between ice shards and glass shards.
"Hmm... not bad!" First Lieutenant Liu Xing swallowed his saliva. Although he answered Zhang Tie's question, he didn't want to say anything more.
Zhang Tie saw that Major Liu Xing was a bit intense and vigilant under his gas-protection respirator. Zhang Tie nodded inside, 'This Liu Xing didn't tell me everything just because I saved his life. He still maintained the vigilance that soldiers of Taixia Country should have at the critical moment.'
"I've not imagined that Taixia Country could already miniaturize white phosphorous gel bomb!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, First Lieutenant Liu Xing became silent.
Zhang Tie was really amazed. In Selnes Theater of Operations, if each human fighter could be equipped with a small white phosphorous gel bomb that could be thrown out at any time, they would definitely defeat the LV 9 demon corps and those demonized puppets corps. At that time, the main task of the airship troop of allied human forces was to give a great blow to the super demon corps by white phosphorous gel bomb. Pitifully, the human airship troop didn't realize this dream until the collapse of Selnes Theater of Operations. Only in the battle of Upton City did the super demon corps suffer a great loss from the first blow of the white phosphorous gel bomb dropped by human airship troop.
Since the white phosphorous gel bomb was invented, the miniaturization of white phosphorous gel bomb had always been a super difficult problem. At least at the end of the last holy war, no human country could solve this problem. A few years ago, when Zhang Tie was in Youzhou Province, he didn't hear that the army of Northeast Military Region could be equipped with such a thing. It was really out of Taixia Country's imagination that after a few years, Taixia Country had already invented it and could already put it into the battlefield in the Earth-elements Realm for small-scale combats. However, given that Major Liu Xing carried such a small white phosphorous gel bomb, it could only be supplied to troops in small quantities. Therefore, Major Liu Xing only carried one such small white phosphorous gel bomb and would only use it at the critical moment.
This kind of small-sized white phosphorous gel bomb, when used alone, posed a limited threat to warriors above the ninth level. However, it posed a great threat to warriors below the ninth level. It could be called a great weapon of mass destruction. On the battlefield, as long as each human fighter carried about 3 such small white phosphorous gel bombs, even if the casualty ratio reached 1: 10, the super demon corps might be defeated.
Take the super demon corps of 100,000 people led by the demon general in Waii Subcontinent, as long as the allied forces of about 3 million elites were equipped with 9 million small white phosphorous gel bombs and could bear over 30% of the casualty ratio, they would be able to suppress the super demon corps in an all-round way.
After experiencing the battle in Selnes Theater of Operations, Zhang Tie was crystal clear about the significance of such a small white phosphorous gel bomb. To a certain extent, if such a small white phosphorous gel bomb could be produced on a large scale, Taixia Country's army would be able to maintain the strategic balance with the super demon corps on the frontal battlefield.
Although he was still a wanted criminal in Taixia Country, Zhang Tie felt happy for Taixia Country from the bottom of his heart. The breakthrough in the miniaturization of white phosphorous gel bomb was even more significant than having 10 more heavenly human knights. This small white phosphorous gel bomb could save numerous commoners' lives on the battlefields in the future.
Since the holy war broke out, none of the news related to the holy war that Zhang Tie had heard was good. Demons were invading cities and territories everywhere, humans were collapsing and shrinking. The miniaturization of white phosphorous gel bomb was the most exciting news that Zhang Tie had ever heard.
...
"May I know your... name, forebear?" After being silent for a short while, First Lieutenant Liu Xing asked Zhang Tie after noticing the weird flickering light in Zhang Tie's eyes.
"You don't need to know my name!" After transforming into Gorath, Zhang Tie maintained the weird and icy style of Gorath. After throwing a faint glance at Major Liu Xing, he said, "Although I've saved you now, I'm afraid that you would not have such a good luck next time. I've just flown all the way here. I didn't find any demon fighter on the ground. If you want to leave here, that road is safer for the time being!"
"Thanks!" Major Liu Xing uttered with a bitter look.
"I like people with tough bones. Kid, take this. Good luck in the future!" Zhang Tie said as he threw a vial of senior recovery medicament to Major Liu Xing. Closely after that, he flew off and disappeared in the black mist in the sky.
Zhang Tie didn't completely leave. After flying over 20 miles away, when he confirmed that Major Liu Xing could not see him through the glimmering observer, he stopped and watched Major Liu Xing on the ground.
Major Liu Xing could not see Zhang Tie; however, Zhang Tie could see him in the effect of lotus-flower eyes.
In general, Zhang Tie was compassionate; however, he was not a good person. However, at this moment, Zhang Tie didn't want to see this Hua fighter die in front of him. Therefore, he prepared to take care of him secretly. However, Gorath's style was not suitable for this. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only take care of him secretly.
In Waii Subcontinent, Zhang Tie knew a brother called Liu Xing who had fought side by side with him had already died. In the Earth-elements Realm, Zhang Tie didn't want to see another young and resolute Liu Xing die. If this Liu Xing could survive, Zhang Tie would feel a bit reassured. The reason was that simple.
Under Zhang Tie's silent gaze, he saw Major Liu Xing slightly hesitating on the ground before drinking the senior recovery medicament that he gifted. With the effect of the senior recovery medicament, Major Liu Xing only rested for less than 2 minutes before he rapidly returned to the place where the first white phosphorous gel bomb burned just now.
Zhang Tie knew that there was a Hua fighter in that place. That Hua fighter's body had already turned into ashes. However, that fighter's spirit was like a torch at the last moment of his life, which was blazing in the dark and would never die out.
When he caught sight of the flame, he had already flown over here; however, he was still a bit late. What he saw was the most brilliant scene of the Hua fighter's life, which deeply moved Zhang Tie and reminded him of his days in Iron-Blood Camp.
Without such a brave warrior, Taixia Country would not be Taixia Country; neither would Hua people.
Although there was a sharp gap between their battle strength and social status, Zhang Tie's respect for that Hua fighter didn't decrease at all. As for Zhang Tie who had experienced numerous battles and grew up from a commoner, the emotional resonance between fighters was always beyond social class and social status. Zhang Tie saw a kind of soul from that fighter, a fighting soul of the proudest and bravest fighter. Such a soul was the backbone of humans.
In the Lion Fortress alone, there were over 100,000 Hua fighters who were responsible for auxiliary combat tasks. Additionally, they would be rotated every year. Although these people were still far away from knights, after experiencing the cruelest battles in the Earth-elements Realm, those who could survive would become the backbone of the Hua army after returning to the earth's surface.
At this moment, Zhang Tie finally understood the intention of the military authorities of Taixia Country to dispatch a lot of auxiliary combat fighters in the Earth-elements Realm.
Under Zhang Tie's silent gaze, Major Liu Xing came to the front of the burnt ashes and took off his gas-proof respirator while his face was covered with tears...
Major Liu Xing knelt down in front of that pile of ashes as he fumbled out a nameplate of a fighter from the ashes with quivering hands. After that, he carefully put those ashes into his bag. After that, he put on his bag and his gas-proof breathing mask. After that, he gritted his teeth and started to run towards the direction that Zhang Tie pointed at...
