Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 147: Prelude to troubled times

Views:

When Zhang Tie came to the Wild Wolf Castle again, the Wild Wolf Castle had turned into a chaotic mess. Just before arriving, Zhang Tie passed the tree house. The tree house was already empty and he saw the red smoke column of the Wild Wolf Castle. Barry and others have already arrived at the Wolf Castle and the tree house first. There is only one sentence written by Barry and others on the tree - We are at the Wolf Castle!

This sentence was naturally written for Zhang Tie. Barry and others seemed to have thought that Zhang Tie would definitely go to the tree house to take a look when he saw the signal and came back, so they left this sentence.

At this time, the faces of many animals were filled with confusion and a hint of fear. When the huge war machine of the Norman Empire flew over everyone's heads, many people who saw this huge war machine for the first time in reality rather than in books were shocked, and everyone felt their own insignificance. . Black Flame City also has airships, but the airships in Black Flame City are only a few dozen meters in size. They float in the sky above Black Flame City. Their main function is to serve as a lookout for the Black Flame City guards, which everyone can often see. Compared with the airships of Black Flame City and the airships of the Norman Empire that everyone sees today, that is the difference between a rabbit and a lion. A rabbit and a lion certainly have completely different feelings.

The square was noisy, animals began to gather in piles, and there was a lot of discussion. Many people just saw the airship, but they didn't fully understand today's situation. It was just like when they came, they had received semi-military training in school for many years. At this time, the education began to show some effect. Although everyone was afraid, the basic sense of discipline was still there.

Moreover, the blue and green flags flying over the castle gave everyone some comfort. Although the sudden appearance of the Norman Empire's army was scary, everyone felt a little comfort knowing that the Norman Empire's army would not attack them. What everyone is most worried about at this time. It is no longer him, but his family members who are still in Black Flame City.

As soon as Zhang Tie arrived at Wild Wolf Castle, he was seen by Wright who was guarding the path leading to the valley in the castle square.

"Big head..." Among the noisy crowd, Wright rushed over and hugged Zhang Tie, "It's good that you come back. Originally, everyone was worried that you might not be able to come back in time if you were alone outside!" At this point, Wright was careful. He glanced around and quietly leaned into Zhang Tie's ear. He lowered his voice and said, "Gris also went for the Lone Walker trial some time ago. After learning the news, everyone was worried about you..."

The concerned look on Wright's face and the excitement of seeing Zhang Tie made Zhang Tie feel warm in his heart. Facing Wright's question, Zhang Tie patted Wright on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm fine. How are you guys doing during this time?"

"Very good. Pandora and the other three are also very good. By the way, have you met Gris?"

"Gris? I haven't seen him for a long time. He might have disappeared from this world!" Zhang Tie said meaningfully. A smile appeared on his face.

For some reason, after not seeing him for a few days, Wright could already feel that Zhang Tie was obviously different from when he left. Zhang Tie's appearance had not changed. But the whole person's temperament is very different from when he left. He is more confident and calm. It is even more unpredictable, and has a faint scorching edge.

Could it be that the Lone Walker Trial can really make such a big difference in a person in just a few days? Wright thought with some confusion.

There are many people in the square. Not only were the brothers of the Brotherhood waiting for Zhang Tie to appear, but the brothers in the mine were also paying attention to him. Porter, Wood, Gandhi, Jones, Franza, the brothers in the mine all gathered together to form When a small group saw Zhang Tie appearing, everyone in the small group had a smile on their faces and were slightly excited. And compared with other people in the square, the small group composed of brothers in the mine was less crowded. Many people sat calmly on the ground with calm faces.

Zhang Tie nodded to Porter and others, said hello, but did not go over, while Porter and others had a look of understanding - the Ancient Gods Society is still a huge secret.

"Do you know those guys?" Seeing Zhang Tie greeting Porter and the others, Wright asked slightly strangely.

"We know each other. Those are all friends I met while mining!"

"Oh, that's it. I thought you also joined the Shen'en Club?"

"Shen'en Society? What Shen'en Society?" Zhang Tie became confused.

"It's the society organized by those guys. These guys are completely crazy. They regard mining as a kind of practice. I heard that they have to perform mysterious prayers and kiss the cold mineral deposits before mining. Originally, there were only a few people in the mine. All the miners were scared away by them. A few days after you left, Shen'en Society completely occupied the mine. These guys are very united and have strong fighting power. Each one is better at mining than the other, just like a born miner. When one person has something to do, a group of people rushed in desperately. Just a week ago, a small club of more than 20 people bullied one of their members. The more than 60 guys rushed in desperately at the Wild Wolf Square. On the other hand, he beat more than ten guys together on the spot until they knelt down and begged for mercy. After the dissolution of the Lion Club of Gris, these guys from the Shen’en Club are considered to be an emerging club that has become more popular in the Wild Wolf Castle recently."

Wright was talking as he walked, not noticing that Zhang Tie's eyes bulged out when he heard these words. Zhang Tie really didn't expect that after being deceived by his "caveman survival mode", these guys would actually unite. , just like finding the direction of the future, creativity began to burst out, and a few unlucky guys who were mining actually started to play in the club. Moreover, this Shen'en Society sounds like it has some unclear relationship with the Ancient God Society that I made up.

Barry and others gathered in the square. Wright took Zhang Tie to find Barry and the others. Everyone was very happy to see Zhang Tie back, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys wait here for a moment. I have something urgent to do to see Captain Colin and the teachers from the Temporary Supervisory Committee!" After greeting everyone in the brotherhood, Zhang Tie was going to find Captain Colin.

"Why is it so urgent?" Barry asked.

Zhang Tie looked at the guys around who were still talking about the situation but didn't know the situation. He waved and asked a few guys to come over and asked, "I met the Iron Horn Legion of the Norman Empire in the Crescent Grassland?"

"What?" Several people almost jumped up. The advance route of the Iron Horn Army's ground troops was divided into two parts at the junction of Crescent Grassland and Wild Wolf Valley. The Norman Empire's troops chose a route more suitable for large forces to attack Black Flame City. This route is basically parallel to the Wild Wolf Valley, separated by two mountain ranges on both sides of the valley, but at least more than ten kilometers apart. Of course, these guys who are testing in the valley cannot know, maybe someone can feel something, But I would never have guessed how scary the troops of the Norman Empire would be when they moved together.

"How many people are there?" Barry asked quietly.

"The troops passing in front of me were at least over 100,000. There were more than 50,000 cavalry riding iron horned beasts alone, and there were also a large number of armored troops. Before I came back, the Norman Empire troops were still coming from the Crescent Steppe. There is a steady stream of traffic coming over there, with no end in sight! I must report this situation to the Temporary Supervisory Committee immediately... "

Everyone in the brotherhood turned pale when they heard Zhang Tie's description. Faced with the shocking changes happening around them, everyone felt worried and helpless at the same time. What can a few teenagers do in the face of such power

As soon as he separated from the Brotherhood, Zhang Tie rushed into the Wild Wolf Castle. Zhang Tie, who had just rushed in, met Captain Colin and Jerome at the gate of the castle. The three of them almost bumped into each other. Seeing that it was them, Zhang Tie quickly went up and reported to the two people about his encounter with the Norman Empire army, which surprised Zhang Tie. While listening, Captain Jerome and Colin asked Zhang Tie a few details, but the expressions on their faces never looked too shocked.

"Have you known this for a long time?"

"No, we don't know. We just guessed it when we saw the war airships of the Norman Empire. We only used telescopes to count the number of those airships, and we knew that the Iron Horn Legion's troops dispatched this time would definitely not be small. !" Jerome smiled slightly.

"Teacher, do you think something will happen to Black Flame City? My brother is still serving in the Black Flame City Guards!" Zhang Tie asked what he was most concerned about, with a very urgent tone, "Can I go back and take a look now? "The current Black Flame City is probably completely surrounded by the Iron Horn Legion. Do you think you can break through the Norman Empire's blockade? The gates of Black Flame City must also be sealed. Even if you can break through, When you get to the city wall, will the city guards of Black Flame City open the city gate for you alone?" Jerome asked.

After thinking about the scene he saw those troops and the tense state of Black Flame City at this time, Zhang Tie shook his head.

"Don't worry, according to my estimation, it will be difficult to defeat Black Flame City. Your brother will be fine!" Jerome looked at Zhang Tie and felt more and more appreciative of this young man for being able to go to the Crescent Grassland alone. The trial, this shows the strength of this young man. After discovering the Norman Empire army, he rushed back to report to the teacher of the Temporary Supervisory Committee as soon as possible, which shows the loyalty of this young man. Having such students can indeed make teachers feel gratified.

Jerome's words made Zhang Tie feel more at ease. Zhang Tie thought of another question, "Teacher, has the war already come?"

"Yes, the war has come, but this war may end very quickly..." Jerome sighed with a sigh. He patted Zhang Tie on the shoulder and said with some sincerity, "Both sides in this war There is such a huge disparity in strength, it is like a confrontation between a lion and a rabbit. You said that if Captain Colin took a knife and grabbed the candy from the hands of elementary school students with murderous intent, that elementary school student would not dare to hand over the things in his hands to Korin. Captain Lin? That primary school student is still an orphan and has no supporter... "

Zhang Tie quietly glanced at Captain Colin and found that the one-eyed dragon was not satisfied with Jerome's metaphor. He was very dissatisfied. The one-eyed dragon gave Jerome a sharp look. "Don't dare!"

"That's it! This is what war is like. The purpose of the Norman Empire is only to rob, not to destroy. However, when a guy as powerful as Captain Colin starts to rip off the candy from a child's hand, Do you know what it means when you grab a few bottles of wine from a good old guy?"

"What does it mean?"

"Troubled times are coming..." Jerome's tone was a bit sleepy, and his eyes were looking into the distance, "War is just the first appetizer of this blood feast called troubled times..."

Zhang Tie was stunned, troubled times? This is the first time in his life that someone has said this word in his ear...
