The New Year's Eve of the Black Iron Calendar Year 905 came suddenly. Three days after returning to the Blackwater Base, the last day of the Black Iron Calendar Year 904 slipped away from Zhang Tie's eyes silently...
There was a heavy snowfall last night. Overnight, several states within the Anxi Governor's Mansion were covered in snow. The east and west sides of Helan Mountain were shrouded in heavy snow. The surface of the rushing Wei River also began to be covered with snow. A thick layer of ice.
The gloomy weather did not allow anyone to see the Immortal Dragon Star rising from the east. Only the huge drum sound that shook the world last night came from Xuanyuan Fortress, making all the Chinese knights stationed here feel excited. , I felt a hint of the "flavor of the New Year" that was almost forgotten...
In addition to the knights who were on routine patrols and performing tasks, on this day in the year 905 of the Black Iron Calendar, the knights stationed at Xuanyuan Fortress and various bases all had a rare two-day holiday to relax since entering the war zone.
There is tension and relaxation, which is the way of civil and military affairs. In the past few days when the demon offensive has slowed down, the knights of Taixia have also ushered in their first New Year in the war zone, and all the knights have become tense. A chance to relax.
Because no one could leave too far away from Show Off Fortress and various bases, on this day, all the bars and various consumption places in Xuanyuan Fortress were full at once.
…
"General Weiji? Da Sima actually appointed you as General Weiji?"
When he heard the words from Zhang Tie's mouth, Feng Cangwu suddenly stopped holding the wine glass to his lips, opened his eyes wide, tilted his head, and looked at the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows with interest Zhang Tie in the scene outside.
The place where the two people are now is the Tower of Glory in Xuanyuan Fortress. This Tower of Glory is now the busiest place in Xuanyuan Fortress. Like the Tower of Glory in the Lion Fortress, the Tower of Glory in Xuanyuan Fortress also has many functional areas. Knights in the war zone can exchange supplies, receive elemental crystals, and trade various trophies they harvested on the battlefield. The 81st floor of the Tower of Glory, as well as the largest knight bar and restaurant in the entire Xuanyuan Fortress, can Knights spent money and relaxed here, of course, for many. The most attractive thing about the entire Tower of Glory is not these, but the two huge lists of meritorious heroes standing in the lobby of the Tower of Glory.
On the list of meritorious heroes in the lobby of the Tower of Glory, the records of the top one thousand knights in the entire theater can be seen on the list. The entire list of heroes is divided into three levels: Black Iron Knight, Earth Knight, and Phantom Knight. These three levels of lists. It can already cover more than 99% of the participating knights in the war zone. As long as they have confirmed military achievements, they will be displayed on the list after statistics.
As for the sky-level achievements. A simple list is already difficult to reflect, because as long as there is a Sky Knight sitting in the base or fortress, it is a huge shock to the demons. Another reason is that the Sky Knights all have a high status, and all of them are central figures. Every move may be related to confidential matters, and all the Knights of the Sky will be ranked here. It's obviously disrespectful and there is a possibility of leaks, so there is no Sky Knight level list in the Tower of Glory.
The merit points in the list, here, have become the best explanation of personal strength and honor. In addition to the enviable honors, the merit points in the list are more real and practical in Xuanyuan Fortress. The benefits are hard to refuse. These merit points can be exchanged for almost anything you want. Elemental crystals, wealth, land, and even various advanced cultivation secrets and techniques collected by the Taixia royal family can be used for merit points. Points redeemed.
The highest level of practice skills that can be exchanged for these merit points is Duke-level classics. People who have become knights naturally cannot change another method to practice, but if they can be redeemed, the knight can designate his own descendants. For descendants or disciples to receive initiation from Duke-level cultivation classics, this alone can make countless knights and wealthy families flock to them.
Another point is that such a list is almost a preview and ranking of the future blood-dropping knighthoods in the Tianji Ranking. As long as their names can be left on the list, most knights will become nobles among the human race in the future. Fuyin Descendants have the possibility of becoming marquises and knights, and those on the list will naturally become Taixia's backbone and top figures in the future.
Every moment, in the square of the Tower of Glory, there is an endless stream of knights who come here to rank on the list. Naturally, the various figures on the list have also become the focus of everyone's attention and discussion. .
Every time there is a holy war, Taixia will erect a list of meritorious heroes in the war zone. This method is simple, direct, crude, and effective. Even the figures from Taixia's seven major sects cannot stand in front of the list of heroes. You have to compete for the sake of fame, profit, or even illusory face and vanity. This list of meritorious heroes will find reasons for you to pay attention to it.
Looking at the knights standing in front of the list outside the window and commenting on the list, Zhang Tie realized that the copycat on the merit list he had seen in the Crystal Battle Castle was actually here...
Zhang Tie might have been equally interested in such a ranking list before, but now, Zhang Tie lacks interest. Even if his name is also on the list of heroes of the Earth Knights, Zhang Tie has no idea.
Zhang Tie's name appeared on the list just the day before yesterday. Zhang Tie's achievement of killing two earth knights and two black iron knights outside Xiangshan City was reported to Xuanyuan Fortress by Wuzhou Cavalry General Xu Baoan who participated in the battle at that time. In addition to Xu Baoan, there were other witnesses who saw Zhang Tie kill the demon knight. Their merits were confirmed. After verification at Xuanyuan Fortress, Zhang Tie's name appeared on the list.
In addition to these, if Zhang Tie could take out the heads of other demon knights, his ranking on the list of heroes would be even higher, but Zhang Tie was indifferent.
Different realms lead to different people's thoughts and needs. Some people may still be complacent about the ranking on the list, but for Zhang Tie, at this time, such a ranking on the list does not mean much to him. He even intends to Don't want to draw too much attention to yourself.
Just the fact that his name appeared on the list indirectly slapped Taiyi Xuanmen hard on the face. Now Feng Yexiao can't even find a reason for Wen Qingkong to continue to stand up.
…
Feng Cangwu's words made Zhang Tie look away from the window and smile. "Are you surprised?"
"Of course it is unexpected, if you leave the war zone. Even if this position seems to be prestigious and high-power now, you have lost the opportunity to make meritorious service in the war zone. In the future, what will you get if you become a knight in the Tianji Ranking? Compared with others, you must know that the only qualification for being knighted in the Tianji Ranking is the merit of killing demons. No matter how good you are as a general, it is of no use. Even if Taixia wins this holy war, you can drive away the demons again. Back underground, do you think everyone will remember Zuoqiu Mingyue's name or your name as a long-term general! Don't tell me that you don't want to taste what it's like to be knighted, and you don't want to give it to me. Your sons earn a noble title and birth..." Feng Cangwu said with a frown.
The two of them were in a private room in the bar on the 28th floor of the Tower of Glory. The private rooms here are places for knights to rest, drink and chat. There are special arrangements in the private rooms. The knights don't have to worry about being heard by outsiders when talking here. After that, Feng Cangwu didn't have any scruples when talking to Zhang Tie.
Feng Cangwu's attitude at this moment made Zhang Tie's heart move. Suddenly he remembered what Lan Yunxi had told him about Taiyi Xuanmen's preparations for this holy war. Taiyi Xuanmen was already secretly preparing the "Doomsday Tao Seed", while the disciples of Tianji Sect seemed to still be thinking about the holy war. What happens after the victory? Could it be that the two major sects in Taixia will have completely opposite judgments on the outcome of this holy war.
"Does the Tianji Sect think that Taixia will still exist after this holy war? Can the human race still win?" Zhang Tie also asked very straightforwardly.
"Did you hear something?" Feng Cangwu also asked Zhang Tie very straightforwardly. With the relationship between the two of them, there is really no need for round-about communication at this time.
Zhang Tie thought about it and said. "I have heard something. It seems that some people among the seven major sects of Taixia are not too optimistic about the outcome of this holy war!"
Upon hearing Zhang Tie's words. A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Feng Cangwu's mouth, "Since the Cataclysm. In every holy war, there will be people who think they are far-sighted and keen-eyed, thinking that they have seen the future and that the end is coming, but Taixia is still there. We have survived the fear of these doomsdays for the first time. In each holy war, the demons are stronger than the last time, but similarly, Taixia is also stronger than the last time. Among the sects in the world, each sect has its own characteristics. Chief, when it comes to understanding the secrets of heaven, who can compare with my Tianji Sect. As early as more than 20 years ago when this holy war began, several elders in my Tianji Sect worked together to run the Tianji List. The only hint of the secrets that could be discerned was a sentence of Chinese The vitality of Taixia is endless, as long as we have these words, it is enough to give us the confidence to fight until the end!"
"The Hua clan and Taixia are full of vitality. Is this the secret that the Tianji Sect has obtained?"
"Of course!" Feng Cangwu drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and poured himself another glass. "As the elders of the Tianji Sect said, the power of the human heart is infinitely mysterious. Human power is limited, but the power of the heart is infinite. Since Tianji is the human heart, If the human heart changes, the heaven will change. If the human heart has vitality, the heaven will definitely have vitality. If the human heart dies, the vitality will die. As long as the human heart does not die in Taixia, the Chinese race will not perish. If the Chinese race is destroyed, its heart must be destroyed first. The country must first destroy its history. The future seen by those who have lost their hearts is just an illusion of their own heart, just like a blindfolded person who cannot see light and can only see darkness. I heard that Han Zhengfang looked at the sun. At the time of change, he said in Zhuo Xin Yuan that in this Holy War, the demons would be a hundred times stronger than the last time, and the Chinese would surely perish. It was really ridiculous for the remnants of the Blood Soul Temple to dare to speak nonsense about the future of the Chinese. If the Blood Soul Temple could A glimpse of the secret, why did they want to be destroyed in the first place? They can't even see their own destiny clearly and have become the lackeys of the demon clan. How can they see clearly the destiny of the trillions of people in Taiyi... "
"If the Chinese race is to be destroyed, their hearts must be destroyed first..." Zhang Tie savored these words for a long time, and felt that the haze that had been weighing on his heart for a long time was instantly swept away, "Thank you, I understand..."
"What did you understand?"
"I understand what is the most important thing after I take on the role of General General this time!" Zhang Tie chuckled.
"Isn't it just that Da Sima is interested in the candle oil you made and your ability to toil in the fields? You said that you are an earth knight and you can just make candle oil. But you are also good at farming. How can you let others live? Ah, and in that position, what else do you want to do?" Feng Cangwu sighed.
"I want to make something that ordinary people or low-level warriors can master to kill knights. At least, Taixia's city will have the power to resist when facing demon knight-level masters..." Zhang Tie said very Said seriously.
"Do you want to use candle oil, but the power of candle oil is too small for knights, and too much is useless. Do you want to make an alchemy bomb? Do you know how difficult it is to make an alchemy bomb?" Feng Cangwu immediately asked. Alchemy bomb comes to mind.
"No!" Zhang Tie shook his head, "But I think there should be other ways besides alchemy bombs..."
Feng Cangwu looked at Zhang Tie blankly for a while, then suddenly laughed wildly and pointed to the square outside, "If you can really come up with such a thing, I will marry that woman..."
Zhang Tie looked in the direction Feng Cangwu pointed, and saw a "female knight" with a strong back and a strong back, more powerful than a man, with her hands on her hips, standing majestically in front of the list of meritorious heroes of the Black Iron Knights, grinning with a painted face She has a big mouth like a mouth with bright lipstick, is covered in jewels, and wears a big red flower on her head. Looking at the names on the merit list, she smiles like a rotten pear.
This woman was followed by several knight-like guard masters. When the knights around them saw this "female knight", they all quickly got out of the way. Especially where the female knight looked, all the male knights instantly They all turned into quails, hiding their faces and running away one by one.
"It's disgusting. Why do these people always use this method to attract people's attention? They won't come up with anything new. They won't come anymore..." The female knight ducked her feet and twisted a little. What came out of the female knight's mouth Zhang Tie couldn't hear, but from the mouth shape, a knight who had learned lip reading could "hear" what the female knight was saying. Seeing the female knight's appearance, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that he had just drunk The wine in my stomach started to churn, and this feeling was simply more uncomfortable than seeing a bearded man with his fingers raised and his butt twisted while walking.
"Who is this woman?" Zhang Tie quickly turned his head and asked Feng Cangwu.
"The princess of King Jingtian's Mansion, the only apple of King Jingtian's eye. It's strange to say that King Jingtian has dozens of sons, but he only has this one daughter, so he loves her very much. This time in the war zone, the princess of King Jingtian's Mansion is For those who want to choose a son-in-law from the list, King Jingtian has already announced that the future dowry for his precious daughter will be from at least ten Class A cities... "
"Okay, I'll remember it!" Zhang Tie nodded vigorously and looked at Feng Cangwu with malicious eyes, "If this girl doesn't get married in the future, I would like to see if I can do it for you. He is a matchmaker and a disciple of the Tianji Sect. He is handsome and talented, so the princess must also like him!"
Feng Cangwu's expression changed, "Wait a minute, you can't be serious!"
"Of course I'm serious!"
"How could you have such a crazy idea?"
Zhang Tie sighed, "I had a meal of Xiangshan City's Gujing Tofu in Xiangshan City a few days ago. This idea appeared in my mind, getting stronger and stronger, and I couldn't get rid of it..."
"After eating a meal of Gujing Tofu in Xiangshan City, you want to let ordinary people and the city master the power to kill the demon knights?" Feng Cangwu seemed to want to see a flower on Zhang Tie's face.
"Yes, isn't it a little crazy!" Zhang Tie smiled and asked in a deliberately relaxed tone, "You don't want to regret it, do you? It's still too late to regret it now, so I'll just pretend I didn't hear it!"
"As a knight says, a horse cannot be chased!" Feng Cangwu hesitated for half a second, then raised his head proudly, "If you really have the ability to come up with this thing, I have nothing to fear even if I serve the tiger with my body! "
"By the way..." Zhang Tie suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "What do you mean by General Zhiji? Why did the general in charge of logistics in the Taixia War Zone have such a strange name?"
Feng Cangwu looked at Zhang Tie seriously, and then said something meaningful to Zhang Tie, "You should read more books..."
Zhang Tie was speechless... (.)
