On July 9, 903 in the Black Iron Calendar, more than two months after the last knight formations of the two sides collided, the two battle forts of the human race and the demon race suspended in the core area of Tiewei Mountain almost coincidentally appeared on both sides. Under the protection of two large formations composed of ten thousand knights, they began to slowly evacuate...
When the two large formations began to evacuate, Zhang Tie's incarnation of Golas was in a deep trench that was dug into pieces on the ground more than 100 kilometers away from the demon battle fortress, and he was knocked unconscious casually. He picked up a war spirit-level spider demon, and then threw the spider demon into the Black Iron Castle like a trophy.
As soon as the Demon Clan's Battle Fortress moved, Zhang Tie flew up from the abandoned mine trenches left behind who knew how many years ago, and landed on a hill. He raised his head and looked at the Demon Clan's floating battle fort.
At this distance, even though there were hundreds of kilometers between them and thick black fog in the middle, Zhang Tie's eyes flashed with lotus-shaped halos, and every move of the Demonic War Fortress still caught his eye.
The demon battle fortress floating in the air is like a honeycomb-shaped malignant tumor with countless entrances and exits. It carries a chilling aura and is slowly retreating under the protection of the demon knights' formation.
Is this first large-scale knightly battle since the beginning of the Holy War finally over
In the past half month, as the number of collisions between the two earth-level knights and above in the core area has become less and less, the frequency of the human race's combat auxiliary teams on the ground has also become less and less. Zhang Tie is guessing that the underground here is being The discovered Diyuan crystal mineral resources are estimated to have been almost mined, and both sides are making preparations to retreat.
Sure enough, today, both sides began to leave the battlefield almost at the same time.
As the battle forts on both sides slowly evacuated. The few scattered war energy wolf smoke and war energy tornadoes that were originally in the center of the core area also broke away from each other, and slowly evacuated along with their own battle forts and formations...
Before coming here, Zhang Tie thought that he might be able to get some earth crystals at the place where the demons were mining. After arriving here, Zhang Tie realized that this idea was a bit taken for granted. In this state, whether it was a demon or a human, there was more than one phantom knight guarding the mining of the Earth Crystal minerals in the underground mines. Both sides are preparing for the opponent's Phantom Knight or even Sky Knight level masters to attack and destroy. In this state, it is too unrealistic for an Earth Knight to do something in the defensive area arranged against Phantom Knight and Sky Knight. Limited returns and unlimited risks. So Zhang Tie gave up.
However, although he did not harvest many Earth Element Crystals, for Zhang Tie, his gains on this battlefield were also very huge.
Watching the battle forts of both sides leave, Zhang Tie still felt a touch of regret in his heart.
If this battle continues for another two months, his gains will be even greater.
A strange figure appeared in the dark mist dozens of kilometers away, moving at lightning speed and traveling in a strange route, as if it was searching for something. Flying towards Chang Tie, Zhang Tie turned his head, the brilliance in his eyes flashed. Immediately, the whole body flashed and fell into the mine ditch again. A few seconds later, the small black beetle flew out and flew directly towards the direction of the human battle fortress...
A few minutes later, the strange figure finally came to where Zhang Tie was just now.
It was an armored demon. A demonic phantom knight just flew over. The coercion he carried caused the large black fog around him to roll away.
There was a little blood on the ground in the trench. The blood stains were still fresh, left by the spider demon who had just been knocked unconscious by Zhang Tie.
The demon's phantom knight squatted in front of the blood stains, twirled his hands, and a light flashed in his eyes. After exploring the surrounding environment, a soul-chasing spirit butterfly was hatched by him as quickly as possible...
The soul-chasing butterfly is like a donkey pulling a mill, but it always circles around here and never flies anywhere else.
Two minutes later, the demon's phantom knight roared, and the soul-chasing butterfly that could only spin in circles was shattered into pieces. The demon's phantom knight looked at the terrain here unwillingly and angrily, then glanced in the direction of the human battle fortress, and directly Turn around and fly towards the direction of the demon battle fortress...
In the Earth Yuan Realm, the first contest between Zhang Tie and the demon phantom knight ended...
…
On the high tower of the human battle fort, Dugu Yi's body was as tall and tall as an isolated mountain peak. He silently looked in the direction of the demon battle fort. There seemed to be flames beating in his eyes...
"In this battle, a total of 2,147 of our knights were sacrificed. Among them, 2,019 black iron knights, 128 earth knights, and two phantom knights were injured, resulting in a battle reduction of 18%. Among the sacrificed knights, one from Taixia Chinese knights accounted for 73%, foreign knights from other continents accounted for 27%, and 31 knights, including two earth knights, completely disappeared after the battle. Their lives and deaths were unknown. On the rear battlefield of the fort, the final statistics of our sacrificed and missing secondary garrison knights of Lion Fortress have not yet been calculated, but it is estimated that there are about 400 people, and more than 20,000 auxiliary combatants and logistics personnel died and disappeared... "
A low voice reported quietly behind the Demon-Suppressing General. When talking about the casualties of those knights, the low voice also became heavier.
And listening to the numbers in this voice, the beating flames in Dugu Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot. This knight battle in the Yuan Realm was the most intense collision since the beginning of the Third Holy War. There were nearly 1,500 knights. The best Chinese knight died in battle. Looking at the world, no country except the Chinese can afford such a loss. At the same time, this battle was also the biggest sacrifice made by the Chinese to resist the demons since the end of the Second Holy War. But such a battle cannot be fought or fought. If we do not fight or fight, the demons will become stronger. Therefore, we can only fight and fight. There is no other way...
And this is just the beginning. In certain stages in the future, large-scale knight battles will continue to occur, and more knights will die on the battlefield for the survival of the human race.
The numbers of casualties made the tower silent for a full minute...
"How are the demons doing?" The demon-suppressing general spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.
"The demons suffered greater losses than us. Among the confirmed results, in the collision of the knight formation on the frontal battlefield led by you, sir, we killed a total of 2541 demon knights, among which the demons The number of earth knights is probably more than 157, and some are missing and cannot be confirmed. Behind the battlefield, the demons' losses are probably equal to our losses. By the way, the demons also lost a very rare and precious knight. Earth-level shadow demon knights, among the ground troops, the number of warriors below the knights lost by the demons is about 30,000..." The reporting voice said here, paused, and then took a deep breath, "Sir, we... tried our best, everyone did their best!"
Yes, everyone has tried their best. With so many knights sacrificed, who hasn’t tried their best
Duguyi sighed in his heart.
The Demon-Suppressing General closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes again. The beating flames in his eyes had been extinguished, and an absolutely cold and calm look appeared in his eyes again.
"Send the list of sacrificed knights and the list of sacrificed warriors at all levels to the Grand Sima Mansion of Taixia, so that the Grand Sima Mansion can properly arrange and handle the sacrifice-related funeral affairs in accordance with the regulations of sacrificial knights and warriors in the Holy War!"
"yes!"
"Return to the Lion Fortress!"
The Demon-Suppressing General said the last words. After saying these words, the Demon-Suppressing General took one last look at the direction in which the Demon Battle Castle left, and then got off the tower...
…
On July 12, the three floating battle forts returned to the Lion Fortress. The dead were gone, but the living, those who could come back after this war, whether they were knights or ordinary combat auxiliaries, were all caught up in the war. During the carnival and indulgence that followed, the streets of the Lion Fortress, starting from July 13, were filled with warriors drinking and reveling. The special taste of water melon wine fermented in the air throughout the Lion Fortress...
According to the official propaganda of the Lion Fortress and the entire human race, the human race won a great victory in this battle, and the knights who participated in the battle successfully completed the established strategic mission.
In the battle of Tiewei Mountain, the human knights not only successfully snatched nearly half of the Earth Crystal Mines in the core area of Tiewei Mountain from the Demons, but also obtained more than two million high-quality Earth Crystals, destroying the Demons' monopoly on this treasure. Important strategic resource plan, even in the fiercest battle of the subsequent knight battle, the human knights successfully killed more than 3,000 demon knights at the expense of more than 2,000 knights, and even executed it on the ground The soldiers on the combat auxiliary mission also killed almost more than 50,000 demon warriors...
Only a few people at the highest levels of the entire Lion Fortress knew the true numbers on the battlefield. In order to boost morale, the propaganda department of the Lion Fortress and even the Mountain of Light deliberately exaggerated some of the results of the battle. The battle around the mountain was publicized as a great victory for the human race in the Earth Yuan Realm, and the strongest first collision between the strongest military groups of the human race and the demon race in the third holy war. In this collision, the human race Not only was he not at a disadvantage, he also had an advantage.
This kind of propaganda is extremely inspiring and can strengthen the morale of the human race to resist the demons. It is a huge encouragement to the entire holy war battlefield in the Earth Yuan Realm and various subcontinents and continents on the surface. Even if there are no knights in the Lion Fortress and the Earth Yuan Realm, As long as you have the Knight Crystal Card, you can learn the information about the battle at Tiewei Mountain from behind the huge title on the home page of the Mountain of Light.
The battlefield of propaganda and public opinion is also the most important part of the battlefield of jihad. The importance of the battlefield of propaganda and public opinion, not to mention now, has been known to the decision-makers and generals of the human race long before the catastrophe. In a certain way, To a certain extent, all wars, fought to the end, compete with the will, determination, and morale of both sides. The side whose will to fight collapses first, and the side whose fighting morale is sluggish, will collapse one after another on the battlefield. And then…
Amid the carnival throughout the Lion Fortress, on July 14, Zhang Tie, who had left the Lion Fortress for nearly three years, returned to the Lion Fortress again... ()
