Time spent with family members at home always flies by, especially after the Chinese New Year. Before we know it, it’s late January, and Zhang Tie has been at home for almost a month without even realizing it.
During this month, in addition to spending time with his family, Zhang Tie was also paying attention to the situation in the ice and snow wasteland.
For the Holy Light Empire, it is obviously not a good idea to go on an expedition to a place like the Ice and Snow Wasteland and send the fleet out in winter, because in winter, the two ports where the Holy Light Empire expedition fleet is going to stop for supplies along the way are already frozen. This caused huge difficulties in supplying the expedition fleet. The ice and snow wasteland was in the far north of the edge of the Hawaiian subcontinent, close to a vast uninhabited ice field. Under the prevailing northwest wind in winter, the sea surface was rough, and the speed of the fleet traveling against the wind would be reduced. Slow down, not to mention the possibility of encountering sea icebergs drifting down from the north. If it is night, as long as one is not careful, a drifting iceberg in the sea may severely damage or directly sink a warship. .
The merchant ships and merchants of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland traveling to and from the Western Continent closely watched the movements of the Holy Light Empire. After a large number of gold coins were sprinkled, the Holy Icelandic Kingdom’s intelligence network in the Western Continent started operating at high speed. Almost every day, there were reports about the Holy Light Empire. Intelligence from the expeditionary fleet converged on St. Petersburg.
Based on various information, High Priest Sarin judged that the Holy Light Empire's expedition fleet would be dispatched in mid-February or early March this year, and no later than late March.
In this way, Zhang Tie felt relieved. After completing the Earth Knight's Wheel-turning Ceremony, he still had enough time to deal with the crisis in the ice and snow wasteland.
Zhang Tie's current consideration is no longer whether he can defeat the Light Empire's expedition fleet. What he is considering is how to defeat the Holy Light Empire in one go. The fight was so frightening that the Holy Light Empire's magicians no longer dared to think about the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. Just mentioning the Holy Kingdom of Iceland would make those pastoral magicians feel headaches and guilty.
If this matter is not resolved this time, with the national power of the Holy Light Empire, even if one wave is repelled this time, there will be a second and third wave later. There will be endless troubles in the future.
Gulas and Dali had safely returned to the ice and snow wasteland a year ago. This time they came to Taixia, but they did not find the allies and backers they wanted. The main reason was that the wealthy families in Taixia had too much vision. I'm picky, I won't throw myself into a barren land like the ice and snow wasteland, and think of forming an alliance with a small country in that place. If Gulas and Dali hadn't come to Taixia on an occasion like the Wanbao Conference, they probably wouldn't have let Taixia's wealthy families take a look at them. The source of madness that the two brought to Taixia was actually for sale A few came out, but not much. For many buyers, the so-called source of madness in the ice and snow wasteland is actually just a better madness potion. At most, this potion only lasts longer. It can be used for life, but activating the power of this potion is not a simple matter. Not every warrior can activate it. Low-level warriors may need the source of madness, but after advanced knights, such things don't make much sense - in places like the Wanbao Conference. Anything that has little value to the Cavaliers is hard to be outstanding.
Gulas and Dali did not bring back the strong allies that the Holy Kingdom of Iceland needed, but they did bring back news of Xuanyuan Hill and the Taixia rebellion.
The position of Taixia's chief minister was replaced by the Three Eyes Society (for people from other continents and subcontinents outside Taixia, all human forces that have taken refuge in the demons can be generally called the Three Eyes Society, the so-called Tongtian Sect). , in the eyes of people from other continents, it is just another name for the power of the Three-Eyed Society in Taixia. Although the names are different, both sides are doing the same thing)'s lackeys infiltrated, and bloody disasters broke out across Taixia. , this incident caused a huge shock in the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, let alone the Western Continent and other subcontinents. Even High Priest Shalin was very worried and asked Zhang Tie about Taixia's current situation through the remote sensing crystal.
For people from other continents and subcontinents, the extremely powerful Taixia is a complex existence in the hearts of these people. Taixia's prosperity and power will make people from other continents and subcontinents envious, yearn for, even envy and hate. But it is undeniable that Taixia and the Hua clan are the mainstay and the hope of the human race in the struggle between the human race and the demon clan. Any turbulence in Taixia can cause an uproar when it is transmitted to the outside world.
Ever since the incident at Wangri in Xuanyuan Hill, the people who felt the fear for the first time were not the Chinese in Taixia, but the upper echelons of the continents and subcontinents outside Taixia. These people understand very well that if the civil strife in Taixia collapses, then they will have no luck in this holy war. This holy war will be like a terrifying storm, and Taixia is the biggest one in this storm. If that human warship, the largest human warship, is going to capsize, then the other small sampans will definitely be beaten to pieces by the huge waves in this terrifying storm - without Taixia If you resist the demons, the darkest days for the entire human race will come.
How is the situation in Taixia
This question was really difficult for Zhang Tie to answer. He didn't know how to introduce the situation at hand to Elder Shalin.
His personal situation is very good, it couldn't be better. He has advanced to the level of Earth Knight and has been cleared of wrongful accusations. He is famous all over the world. The power of the Zhang family is also booming. In addition to the full-effect potion, the Zhulong leader High-energy alcohol that will bring about huge changes will soon be produced in China, and he has returned home to be with his family, enjoying the blessings of people and family happiness every day. His foundation in Taixia is becoming increasingly solid. He has more and more friends. Forces such as Taixia's Guangnan Palace and the Tianji Sect have become involved with him. He has personally killed the mastermind behind his frame and allowed him to make a huge fortune. The Tun Dang now has too much time to take care of himself. , is fighting to death with the Tongtian Sect. It can be said that Zhang Tie's situation has never been so good since he advanced to knighthood, and he has never lived such a comfortable life. It can be said that Zhang Tie has now officially entered a new phase in his life. The pinnacle is not an exaggeration.
Zhang Tie ushered in a new peak in his life, but the freezing coldness of the Third Holy War invaded the entire Taixia within just a few months.
Because of the arrival of winter, the pace of suppressing the bloody rebellion in the Taixia states, especially in the northern region, has temporarily slowed down. The bloody men who are ravaging the Taixia states are becoming more and more dispersed. The scope, area and damage caused by the bloody men have also changed. getting bigger.
In December, the Blood Man Rebellion in Taixia only affected sixty or seventy states. But in January, the Blood Man Rebellion in Taixia, except for a few barren states and Xuanyuan Hills, had blood men in every state. Traces of the Blood Man Rebellion are spreading throughout Taixia. Just before January 1, 904 in the Black Iron Calendar, the Blood Man Rebellion broke out in less than two months, causing 370 million deaths in Taixia. Tens of thousands of casualties occurred, and the number of casualties continues to expand every day. As for the total number of bloody people in Taixia Prefecture, preliminary estimates are more than 10 million. After more than a month of siege, these 10 million bloody people are constantly decreasing, but the remaining bloody people are still the same as the surviving bloody people. Every second, killings and panic are caused throughout Taixia.
In such chaos, even Youzhou is not immune.
On January 3, while Zhang Tie was immersed in the New Year atmosphere at home, several groups of bloody people from Tongzhou had already entered the Yangui Mountains, and might have sneaked into Youzhou.
These groups of bloody men who entered the Yangui Mountains disappeared without a trace after bloodbathing the two small mountain villages in the Yangui Mountains. Orions who lived in Shanzhong discovered them when they were visiting relatives. They came out to report the abnormality in the two small mountain villages.
Several groups of unknown numbers of bloody people may have entered Youzhou through the Yangui Mountains. Tensions have become tense in all parts of Youzhou, especially the garrisons in several cities near the Yangui Mountains have been mobilized. After receiving the news, Zhang Tie's Zhulong Territory also entered a state of martial law.
Zhang Tie was at home at the time and only found out after receiving the news report from Huaiyuantang.
Of course, also in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, along with this bad news came another "good news" related to the Blood Man - Zhang Tie asked his brother to find someone to build and place it near the gate of the Iron Dragon Sect. The battle fort prison to imprison the bloody people has been officially assembled and constructed.
This bloody prison was named the Demon-Suppressing Castle by Zhang Tie. The total number of bloody men that can be imprisoned in the entire Demon-Suppressing Castle is 200,000. The person responsible for building this battle fort prison is a large battle fort in Yanzhou, Taixia, which is responsible for such business. The construction group, after my brother explained the need and readily paid 70% of the project fee in advance, the battle fort construction group in Yanzhou completed the construction of the Demon Suppression Fort in the shortest time.
Zhang Tie has not seen the newly built Demon Suppressing Castle, but I heard it is larger than the Crystal War Castle that was there. After the Demon Suppressing Castle was built, it was the first one that Zhang Tie and the Golden Crow Business Group "acquired" during this period. A group of 1,287 bloody men in total have been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Castle, and are guarded by the Golden Crow Guards.
The Bloody Man Rebellion is raging in Taixia, and the backbone of Tongtian Sect's diehard loyalists who "created" these bloody men have disappeared in the past two months, except for a bunch of small fish and shrimps caught by Taixia Tingwei's Mansion In addition to hiding or killing, those named knight-level masters of Tongtian Sect who were wanted by Tingwei Mansion, but very few were actually caught. Those people seemed to have disappeared, which made people a little uneasy. (To be continued~^~)
