It wasn't until dawn the next day that Zhang Tie slowly flew back to St. Petersburg.
Occam's escape was very fast. In just over forty minutes, he and Zhang Tie flew more than 6,000 kilometers away and entered the no-man's land on the edge of the frozen continent in the north of the ice and snow wasteland.
In this area, apart from ice, snow, storms, and endless desolate snowfields, there is really no one to be seen, and even the creatures that can be seen are very few. A battle between two people will naturally not attract anyone's attention. , the knights of the Council of Cardinals did not have the ability to fly to this distance in such a short period of time. Occam's mental power was disturbed and impacted, and he could not even use the remote sensing crystal to send the message. Therefore, the entire battle process, Although it was earth-shattering, it was actually silent. Apart from Zhang Tie and Occam, no one else in the world could know that just on the edge of the frozen continent in the north of the ice and snow wasteland, on this night, a powerful A battle broke out between the phantom knight and an even more perverted divine master.
Zhang Tie was very satisfied with this battle. It was a great harvest.
Occam became his prisoner, which made his path to advance to the phantom level much smoother. It was foreseeable that after absorbing Occam's water chakra, he would be able to break through to the fifth level of the Earth Knight at least. changed situation.
The windfall in the space equipment that Occam carried with him even exceeded Zhang Tie's harvest when he searched for the Three-Eyed Society family and the Demon Commander in the Hawaiian subcontinent. Another thing that made Zhang Tie even more gratified was that his kinetic warfare After this battle, Zhang Tie fully gained the confidence to compete with the Phantom Knight by testing and perfecting his skills and ability as a divine master.
Although Occam is not a top phantom knight, his combat power is at least between the third and fifth phantom transformations. In this battle, although Zhang Tie unexpectedly hit Occam hard at the beginning with his golden flying spear, it compromised Occam's own strength and combat effectiveness. But no matter what, this was the first time Zhang Tie relied on his own strength to defeat the Phantom Knight head-on. This battle is also different from the battle between Zhang Tie and Han Zhengfang. For Zhang Tie, this battle has the same significance as a milestone.
Just when the first ray of the sun rising from the east shone on the highest spire of the Gray Palace in St. Petersburg, Zhang Tie also flew over St. Petersburg at the same time and slowed down his speed.
Overnight, St. Petersburg transformed into a heavily fortified fortress, as seen from the sky. There were signs of military mobilization both inside and outside the city, and several large war airships were wandering around St. Petersburg.
As soon as Zhang Tie arrived, he was discovered. In the Summer Palace, a figure suddenly rose into the sky, and several war airships in the distance also flew towards him at once.
"Your Majesty..." The person who flew from the summer palace was Elder Thors, waiting to see Zhang Tie's appearance. Elder Toles looked surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine. By the way, was there any other trouble last night? Is everyone okay?"
"Everyone is fine, there is no trouble!" After flying closer, Elder Thors carefully looked at Zhang Tie from head to toe. After confirming that Zhang Tie seemed to be fine, he finally felt relieved. "Has Your Majesty met Dali and the others?"
"No, where did they go?" Zhang Tie said as he flew towards the Summer Palace. Several war airships rushing over from a distance also saw Zhang Tie clearly at this time. The soldiers on the airship cheered and suddenly turned around. No longer rushed towards Zhang Tie.
"His Majesty and Ockham left suddenly last night, and they rushed out afterwards. But they couldn't see any trace of His Majesty, so they split into two groups and searched in the north and south directions of St. Petersburg!"
The ice and snow wasteland is so big. Generally speaking, as long as they are two hundred kilometers away from St. Petersburg, even if they are in the same direction, the chance of those people encountering Zhang Tie is not high. Moreover, in one night, with the ability of Old Wild Bear Dali and the others, they can Being able to search a thousand kilometers is already the limit. It is impossible to get close to the area where Zhang Tie and Occam fought. In such a vast area, it is normal for Zhang Tiefei not to encounter them when he came back.
"I'm fine, call them back!" Zhang Tie smiled. Although the clan leaders and elders of various tribes in Bingxue Lie didn't help last night, their loyalty is worthy of praise. At least they are stronger than before. In the past, the Holy Light Empire almost split the ice and snow wasteland when a Scepter Archbishop came. But last night, the Holy Light Empire came with the Holy Light Archbishop. It’s not bad that these guys still have the guts to come out to look for themselves. "St. Petersburg is now Is it under martial law?"
"Yes, the entire St. Petersburg has been under martial law since last night..."
"This is a big deal. Let's lift the martial law..."
"Yes!" Although Elder Toles still had a question in his mind, he wanted to ask how Occam was doing, but when Zhang Tie didn't say anything, he couldn't ask. Everything that happened last night was too weird, even if They were the elder knights who were at the scene at the time. Even now, they still don’t know what happened at that time.
"Occam will never come again..." Zhang Tie said calmly.
Thors Zhang Lai felt a shiver in his heart. This will never happen again, but it has many important meanings...
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie flew to the Summer Palace. Seeing Zhang Tie's return safe and sound, the Thor's Hammer warriors who were stationed at the Summer Palace and preparing to die in a bloody battle with the Knights of the Holy Light Empire suddenly burst into cheers...
"Ula...Ula...Ula..."
The thoughts of these warriors are simple. No matter what, Zhang Tie and Occam disappeared together last night. Now that Zhang Tie is back and Occam has not come back, this is a victory.
After a whole night of depressing tension in the Summer Palace and St. Petersburg, countless people were anxiously waiting for the news. The cheers of Mjolnir were like a warm current, which instantly dispelled the depressing and tense atmosphere.
The collapsed part of the hall where the banquet was held last night is still being cleaned up, but the huge cheers coming from the Summer Palace, the order to lift martial law, and the mobilized soldiers from various ministries returned to the military camp, which means that the The crisis caused by the Phantom Knights of the Holy Light Empire has been lifted, and a warm and festive atmosphere spread throughout St. Petersburg.
Zhang Tie returned to the summer palace, and Aurora and the others, together with Zhang Tie's children, returned to the ground from the hidden shelters one by one, and came to Zhang Tie again. Seeing Zhang Tie, all the women's eyes were filled with tears.
There must have been many people in St. Petersburg and the Summer Palace who were worried about Zhang Tie last night, but they were the most worried. It's them again, they didn't sleep all night last night. Worried about Zhang Tie's safety, although it was only for one night, when they saw Zhang Tie again, Aurora and the others felt as if they had experienced a life and death separation.
Zhang Tie wiped away the tears of the women one by one, hugged and comforted them, and finally calmed down Aurora and the others.
Andrei, Matvey. Children like Alexander and Anatole looked at Zhang Tie with utter admiration. In the past, what they heard the most were the legends about Zhang Tie's bravery and miracles. Their mothers all Tell them that their father is a real hero. The children's understanding of the word hero is very pale, but last night. They truly saw their father's bravery, but when a powerful enemy came, their father. One person can defeat powerful enemies and protect them, their mother and everyone else - this is a hero, a living, vivid hero that they can touch.
"Father, when I grow up, I want to be like you. Use the flying spear in my hand to protect my mother and everyone..." Andre looked up with a small face, his eyes sparkling. He said firmly to Zhang Tie, "Can you teach me how to fly a spear?"
Zhang Tie laughed loudly after hearing this. He stretched out his hand and touched Andre's head, "As long as you want to learn, I will naturally teach you. In addition to flying spears, I have many other skills that I can teach you. Once you learn them, , you can protect your mother like me and drive away the enemies!"
All the children nodded vigorously.
"Let's go. I guess you haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go have breakfast together..." Zhang Tie waved his hand.
Because of this sentence, the dining room of the Summer Palace suddenly became very busy...
…
Old Wild Bear Dally and the other knights of the Cardinal Presbytery waited until two o'clock in the afternoon before returning to the summer palace.
After everyone in the Cardinal Presbytery reunited, Zhang Tie summoned all the elders of the Cardinal Presbytery in a study room in the summer palace. What happened last night had to be revealed to these core figures of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. Give us an explanation and explanation.
In the study, Zhang Tie sat at the head seat. The elders of the Cardinal Presbytery who had gathered again sat on both sides of the study. They looked at each other in disbelief. The elders exchanged strange glances with each other. In the entire study, Full of a weird atmosphere.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, how is Occam, the Holy Light Archbishop of the Holy Light Empire who raided the Summer Palace last night, doing now?"
I don’t know how many elders want to ask this question, but the one who can really ask this question shamelessly and without any scruples is old wild bear Dali.
Old wild bear Dali asked this question, which played into Zhang Tie's hands.
"The power of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland is definitely more than what everyone sees on the surface. A phantom knight cannot shake the foundation of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland!" Zhang Tie affirmed, but also said vaguely.
All the elders and patriarchs suddenly realized that since Zhang Tie had said it so "clearly", all the elders of the cardinal group of elders, as long as their minds were not too stupid, naturally thought of the legendary destruction of the Holy Light with just one blow. The Sky Knight of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet—last night, the mysterious Sky Knight took action again. That person was also hidden in the Summer Palace yesterday. Maybe he had expected that someone from the Holy Light Empire would take action. The Sky Knight had always been there. The Holy Light Archbishop who was waiting for the Holy Light Empire to fall into a trap was the reason why Zhang Tie was able to come back unscathed...
The power of the Sky Knight was unimaginable by the Black Iron Knight. This may be the reason why Zhang Tie disappeared from everyone's eyes the moment he took action that day.
The elders of the Cardinal Presbytery all thought they had found the answer. Among them, only High Priest Shalin glanced at Zhang Tie at this time, but he also frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and did not speak.
"The domain must be a trace of the power of the domain controlled by the Sky Knight to make Occam disappear in front of us..." The leader of the Mountain Bear Tribe nodded and said loudly, as one of all the bear-level tribes in the ice and snow wasteland. The determined look on the face of the leader of the Mountain Bear Tribe, who was treated like a bumpkin, was as if he had seen what the realm was like...
"In that case, wouldn't that Sky Knight be about to advance to Semi-Saint..." The leader of the Fire Bear Tribe was also stunned.
Listening to such discussions, and looking at the expressions on everyone's faces in the study room, Zhang Tie could only say to himself - I am not trying to lie to you, I am telling the truth, but if you yourself I got it wrong. Don’t blame me for not explaining it clearly in the future...
…
As a result, in less than a day, news spread throughout St. Petersburg from nowhere. The Holy Light Archbishop of the Holy Light Empire who invaded the Summer Palace last night had been killed by an advanced semi-holy Sky Knight. That Knight of the Sky has actually always been the secret knight of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland...
The voice transmission was lifelike, and some people who attended the dinner that night even swore that they had witnessed the mysterious Knight of the Sky exerting the power of the domain in front of many people, allowing Occam, the Holy Light Archbishop of the Holy Light Empire, and His Majesty to stand in front of everyone. Disappear on the spot in front of people.
The rumor spread in St. Petersburg the next day, and by the third day throughout the Holy Kingdom of Iceland.
Just like the Holy Kingdom of Iceland has various channels to inquire about the movements of the Holy Light Empire's expeditionary legion and know what major events are happening in the Holy Light Empire, the Holy Light Empire also has similar means to learn about the Holy Light Empire's internal affairs. What happened? The simplest way is to just give money to the merchant fleets from other subcontinents and the Western Continent that travel to the Ewendalla Islands, and many forces set up offices or diplomatic missions in the Holy Kingdom of Iceland. , these valuable messages will naturally be passed back.
Upon hearing this news, the Holy Light Empire was immediately frightened...
Two days later, Jinpeng Bank, as an intermediary, received news that the Pope of the Holy Light Empire had sent a special envoy by his side to the ice and snow wasteland in a flying boat to discuss and resolve disputes between the two countries...
The special envoy takes the initiative to come to the door. This is the rhythm of peace... (.)
