Chapter 1225: On Tracks

Views:

Just now Zhang Tie was secretly lamenting that there was no one available around him, and Bai Suxian brought him good news. He was really just dozing off, and someone sent him a pillow...

Zhang Tie suddenly stood up from his chair and asked happily, "Are you here yet?"

"They originally lived in Xuantian City, not far from here. I went over and brought them here. Why are you so excited!"

"Haha, of course I'm excited. This is a gift my future father-in-law asked my uncle to give me, and it solves my urgent need. How can you not be excited?" Zhang Tie got up from the chair, walked over and put his arms around Bai Suxian's waist. Bai Suxian kissed her on the face and said, "My wife is indeed my fiancé's virtuous wife!"

Bai Suxian was so happy that her face lit up when she heard Zhang Tie's compliment, but she said, "I hate it..."

Looking at Bai Suxian's charming expression, Zhang Tie felt that the little worries and troubles he had in his heart just now were swept away. He had friends, brothers, backers, connections, a way out, and so on. A capable and virtuous wife, what else do I have to worry about? Isn’t it just a holy war? The soldiers come to block the water and the earth covers it. Who is afraid of whom

"Come on, let's go take a look right now!" Zhang Tie said enthusiastically.

"What are you looking at?"

"Of course they are those dead soldiers!"

"Let them come here for you to see!" Bai Suxian also looked around the ancestral hall and nodded, "The space here is spacious. If they are allowed to stand a little closer, it can accommodate two thousand people. Since those people It has been given to you. As a dead soldier, a ceremony to recognize the master must be held. The recognition ceremony must be carried out in an environment where no one will be disturbed. This is just the right place!"

"Is there still a master recognition ceremony?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.

"Of course, dead soldiers are just dead soldiers, so they naturally have to recognize their master. If they don't recognize their master, anyone can command them. Who dares to put such a person beside him and use him!" At this point, Bai Suxian's There was a hint of pride in his words, "The Jinsha warriors trained by our Guangnan Palace are famous even in Taixia!"

"Okay. Then I want to see it!" Zhang Tie said expectantly.

Zhang Tie knew that his brother controlled a small country called Kamikaze in the Chaosang subcontinent. One of the most important reasons why Zhang Yang was interested in Kamikaze in the first place was that Kamikaze had the ability to cultivate direct blood soldiers. Being a warrior is not an easy task. There are differences between dead warriors trained by different secret methods, and Zhang Tie listened to his brother. The Kamikaze Kingdom can train only a few hundred direct blood warriors every year, and it often takes several years or even more than ten years to train a batch. At least until now, the Kamikaze Kingdom has trained for the Golden Crow Merchant Group and Brother. The first batch of dead soldiers will have to wait until next year to report under me.

The two thousand dead men sent by the Guangnan Palace this time are definitely a great gift.

Seeing Zhang Tie's expectation, Bai Suxian clapped her hands without saying anything more.

With the sound of Bai Suxian clapping her hands, outside the ceremony. Two old men with wrinkled faces, wrapped in black robes and wearing strange horns on their heads, walked in first. Behind these two old men in black robes, there were groups of people wearing the same black clothes. Men and women began to walk into the hall.

Zhang Tie looked at the people who entered the hall and found that on the surface, those people were completely the same as normal people. They were all full of energy and had clear eyes. Most of them were very young. They are around thirty years old, with a small number being older people with gray hair and beards. There are also people in between and younger people in their twenties, but the number is relatively small.

These people are very disciplined. All the actions were very coordinated. Two thousand people walked into the hall and stood up, lined up neatly and in complete silence.

The hall, which was empty just now, finally became popular after two thousand people walked in. Enriched.

"Princess Princess, Sect Master, all the dead soldiers have been brought in!" The two old men who brought these dead soldiers in with strange auras came to Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian, and faced them respectfully Said with a salute.

"I see that these dead soldiers are both male and female, old and young. At first, your brother said that they were craftsmen's slaves trained in the way of dead soldiers. What can they do?" Zhang Tie asked Bai Suxian,

"It is said that they are craftsmen's slaves trained in the way of death warriors. Craftsmen's servants are second, and the word death warriors is the key." Bai Suxian said directly to the two people. "Please introduce me!"

"Yes! Among the two thousand people, 1,700 are men and 300 are women. Among the men, there are 300 level 6 warriors, 200 level 7 warriors, 100 level 8 warriors, 50 level 9 assassins, and other blacksmiths and tailors. , utensil makers, gardeners, cobblers, shoemakers, carpenters, accountants, doctors, housekeepers, farmers, differential engine operators, architects, scribes, etc. 850 people. Among the 300 women, there are female warriors from the sixth to the ninth level. 100 people, these 100 people can also work part-time as maids, and can use remote sensing crystals at the same time. The other 200 people also include gardeners, embroiderers, cooks, actors, musicians, nurses, accountants, etc., and more than 150 of them can hold multiple jobs. !”

Such a dead soldier directly amazed Zhang Tie.

"What is the difference between the Jinsha warriors trained by the Guangnan Palace and the direct blood warriors of the Kamikaze Kingdom in the Chaosang subcontinent?"

"The Jinsha dead soldiers trained by the Guangnan Prince's Palace have not lost their intelligence, and everything is the same as ordinary people. Every dead soldier here can continue to develop and achieve greater achievements on the path of their choice, but if you let them They will not hesitate to die if any of them die!" Bai Suxian took the initiative to explain, and then showed disdain, "And those so-called direct blood warriors trained by the Kamikaze Kingdom in the Chaosang subcontinent will not die in Taixia. They are not ranked among the warriors at all. After being trained, those direct-blood warriors lost part of their intelligence and their development was limited. It will be difficult for them to make much progress and achievements on their respective paths in the future, although they also listen to their master's words. , will not devour the master, but in the final analysis, it is okay for those direct-blooded dead soldiers to be used as cannon fodder and to act ruthlessly, but if you want to let them do something else, or step onto a higher stage, it is very difficult, and it is also One thing is that the direct-blooded dead warriors can only train men, not women. The direct-blooded dead warriors in the Chaosang subcontinent are just very low-level dead warriors. Why do you ask?"

Zhang Tie was speechless. Of course Bai Suxian didn't know that his elder brother controlled the Kamikaze Kingdom in the Chaosang subcontinent and could cultivate direct blood soldiers. Because of this, the words of the direct blood soldiers were only pertinent. But think about it backwards. In Taixia, only ordinary people and ordinary families can play the role of death warriors. I can control a small country in the Chaosang subcontinent that can cultivate death warriors. I have definitely tried my best. Bai Suxian is the princess. She is also a knight, and she grew up in the Guangnan Palace. It is understandable that she is picky, and it is something that Bai Suxian does not like. It doesn't necessarily have to be useless.

"When something happened to me two years ago, I took precautions and took control of the Kamikaze Kingdom in the Chaosang subcontinent. I heard that the Kamikaze Kingdom can cultivate direct-blooded warriors!" Zhang Tie explained to Bai Suxian truthfully.

Bai Suxian stuck out her tongue cutely and patted her chest, "Ah, then I can't say this in front of your brother again!"

"Haha, it's good if you know. By the way, is it difficult to train these Jinsha warriors?"

"Of course it's difficult. With the power of Guangnan Palace, the number of Jinsha Death Soldiers that Guangnan Palace can cultivate each year is only about a thousand. These people in front of you are already the results of Guangnan Palace's two years!"

"How to recognize the Lord?"

"Just do what they arranged, this ceremony is very easy!" After saying this, Bai Suxian walked aside, "You will only be able to stand here by yourself for a while, and they can only let them see you. Man, I’ll wait for you next to you!”

Zhang Tie nodded.

Under Zhang Tie's curious gaze, one of the two weird old men turned his hand. He directly took out a strange tree stump-like thing with a diameter of more than one meter like a podium from the space equipment he carried and placed it in front of Zhang Tie. Then he took out a black and red side with written The flag with strange runes was hung behind the tree stump-like thing, and then continued. He then took out a necklace that looked like the skulls of some kind of beast, handed it to Zhang Tie, motioned to Zhang Tie to hang the necklace on his chest, and then asked Zhang Tie to stand on the high platform like a tree stump.

Another old man then pulled out a pair of things that looked like closed shells from his sleeves and handed them to Zhang Tie, "When we go away and play the wooden flute later, you open the shells and break your fingers. Drop a few drops of blood on the small black ball inside the pair of bone shells, stand here without moving, and wait until they close their eyes and open them again, the ceremony will be completed!"

"It's that simple?"

The old man nodded.

"good!"

The two weird old men walked away. When they reached the edge of the 2,000-person team in the hall, one of them took out an emerald green flute from his sleeves and blew out a few weird tones melodiously, and the weird tones echoed. When they were in the main hall, each of the 2,000 dead soldiers in the main hall suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Zhang Tie standing on the high platform. Their eyes became extremely clear in just an instant, and there was also A little dazed, just like a baby who had just come into this world, they were all involuntarily attracted to Zhang Tie and looked at Zhang Tie curiously.

Zhang Tie did not dare to delay and quickly opened the pair of bone shells in his hand. As expected, there was a small black ball among the bone shells. Zhang Tie bit his own finger and dropped a few drops of blood on the black ball. on the small round ball.

It is strange to say that part of the black ball turned golden when the first drop of Zhang Tie's blood fell on it. When Zhang Tie's fourth drop of blood fell, the entire ball turned into gold. , had turned from black to gold, and then, the golden ball suddenly spread out, like the weathered sand, turning into countless tiny golden particles, flying towards the dead soldiers. past.

Of course it was not golden sand, but countless strange little flying insects with wings as small as sand. There were exactly two thousand of these flying insects. One by one, the flying insects flew in front of the dead soldiers and flew directly to those Under the nostrils of the dead soldiers, a little bit of tiny golden light then penetrated into the nostrils of the dead soldiers, as if being sucked in...

Under the gaze of Zhang Tie's hidden Lotus Eye, after those tiny flying insects entered the nostrils of the dead soldiers, they directly penetrated into a strange place in everyone's head from the nostrils, and then stopped moving. , fell silent and turned gray-white, as if it had become a part of those people's brains. Fortunately, Zhang Tie has the Eye of Lotus, so he can see this process so clearly and carefully through the appearance of the human body, completely at a glance. If someone else comes in at this time, he can take the bodies of those dead soldiers even now Even if they were cut open and searched inch by inch, it would be impossible to find anything in the bodies of these dead soldiers.

The two thousand dead soldiers in the hall all closed their eyes at this time.

Just a minute later. Everyone opened their eyes and looked at the strangely dressed Zhang Tie who was standing on the high platform like an old tree stump again. It was completely different from when they entered the hall just now.

Zhang Tie had seen the same look in the eyes of the fanatics in the Ancient God Religion and those who had been saved by him in the Black Iron Castle. It was a look that could sacrifice his life and everything for Zhang Tie at any time. Fanaticism and unconditional trust and dependence are like a fish seeing the sea, like a son seeing his father.

"Meet the master!" The same voice sounded from two thousand people. They bowed to Zhang Tie together.

What a powerful Jinsha Death Soldier. At this moment, Zhang Tie could only sigh in his heart. Such a method of cultivating Death Soldiers is really awesome.

At this moment, Zhang Tie thought of some special methods of controlling beasts that he knew. These special methods of controlling beasts had been circulated among the human race before the Cataclysm. At that time, the main purpose of the human race using such methods was to cultivate soldiers. Dogs or police dogs, these military dogs and police dogs are all trained by professionals in specialized bases, and they have very fierce personalities. But when these military and police dogs are trained and handed over to the police and troops, the breeders of these military and police dogs will work with the recipients of these military and police dogs, who are also the future owners of these military and police dogs. A "recognition ceremony". This "recognition ceremony" only requires that the future owners of those military dogs or police dogs can provide something that they carry with them and has their own scent, such as a key bag, a hat, a vest, etc. . Trainers of military and police dogs can use smell and use some special methods to make these military and police dogs completely obey the orders of their new owners in the future. Loyal to its new owner.

The so-called master recognition ceremony of a dead soldier is essentially the same ceremony, except that this ceremony controls a higher-level person. Therefore, it is more profound, and the secret method it uses is also more powerful.

Zhang Tie walked down from the high platform and returned the strange necklace around his neck and the bone shell on his hand to the two old men in the Guangnan Palace.

"How long will the effects of this ritual last?"

"Generally speaking, it is forever. Unless one of them advances to become a knight, the effect of this master recognition ceremony will dissipate. But at that time, if the sect wants to keep a knight who is used to taking orders from you, There should be a better way to make them give up!"

Zhang Tie nodded, looked at the two thousand pairs of eyes staring at him again, and suddenly laughed...

With the addition of two thousand dead men, the Iron Dragon Sect Xuantian Peak became more vibrant that day, and people began to take charge of various tasks. The Iron Dragon Sect finally had the atmosphere of a large sect, and everything became better and better. Be more organized.

For Zhang Tie, at least on Xuantian Peak, he finally has someone to take care of him. He no longer has to let the disciples around him take on roles such as the guards and the maids around him. Otherwise, Zhang Tie will always have a few female disciples around him. Mr. Tie felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Tie did not leave everyone in the Iron Dragon Sect. He also selected 300 people from the two thousand dead men and asked these people to return to Golden Crow City to report to Zhang Gui and listen to Zhang Gui's orders and care. His family in Golden Crow City and the dead soldiers who stayed in the Iron Dragon Sect, Zhang Tie assigned them tasks and assumed corresponding duties. Zhang Tie almost captured the entire Iron Dragon Sect in one go.

Three days later, after completing his first inspection of the Zhulong Territory, Tang De returned to the Tielong Sect. After learning that Zhang Tie had 1,700 dead warrior slaves with various abilities, Tang De directly learned from the young dead warriors. Among the women, 30 people were selected and a batch of remote sensing communication equipment was purchased to help Zhang Tie establish the first sect master office in the Iron Dragon Sect so that every order of Zhang Tie could be accurately received through authoritative channels. In a timely manner, they were sent to the country folk associations in each city under the command of the Zhulong Territory to exercise the power of the lord of the Zhulong Territory.

Everything in the Tielong Sect and the Zhulong Territory gradually got on the right track a week after Zhang Tie returned to the Zhulong Territory. The power of the sect and the territory was gradually fully controlled by Zhang Tie in his own hands.

The head of the Wang family of Yushun Hall in Ning'an City also became the third general under Zhang Tie under Zhulong.

Similarly, in just a few days, the news of the "flying iron bird" flying outside Xuantian City and the invention of "candle oil" by Zhang Tie once again caused a sensation in Taixia.

It was bustling here, and the changes in the Zhulong Territory could be described as a stone's throw that stirred up a thousand waves. In the Weiyi subcontinent, the news of the expedition fleet of the Holy Light Empire finally reached Zhang Tie's ears through the remote sensing crystal communication of the High Priest of Sarin.

After a winter of preparation, the Holy Light Empire organized an expeditionary force that was "enough to crush the Holy Kingdom of Iceland into powder". It set out from the port of the Holy Light Empire on the Western Continent with great vigour, embarking on a journey of conquest and punishment. Journey to the Kingdom of Iceland.

The day before this legion set off from the port of the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Light Empire's ultimatum to the Holy Kingdom of Iceland was sent to St. Petersburg.

The Holy Light Empire demands that the Holy Kingdom of Iceland surrender unconditionally, abandon all resistance, disband the Ancient God Religion, hand over "all the heretics" who participated in the murder of the Holy Light Empire's Scepter Archbishop, and pay an astronomical compensation. Jin waited for the conditions and knelt down to wait for the arrival of the Holy Light Empire’s special envoy...

St. Petersburg refused, so the next day, the expeditionary legion of the Holy Light Empire set off from the sea towards the ice and snow wasteland... (.)
