The six major families of the Jinyun Kingdom - the Zhang family, the Lan family, the Ou family, the Tantai family, the Wang family and the Li family. Many outstanding figures among the younger generation have gathered in the Crystal Battle Castle.
In addition to the ordinary warriors who maintain the operation of the battle fort in the entire Crystal War Fortress, the six major families sent here to participate in the war are all elites of level 9 and above in the family. Even those responsible for maintaining the operation of the battle fort are only More than one-third of the warriors who are responsible for pure defense tasks are above level 6, and the remaining two-thirds are high-level soldiers of level 4 to 5. Even if they are even burned in the battle fort, It is difficult for anyone in the boiler to find someone below level 3.
There are a total of more than 25,000 people in the Crystal War Fortress, and the number of people stationed by each family in the War Fortress is about 4,000. Among these 4,000 people, people at level 9 and above account for about 2 to 3 percent. That is, about 100 people. Although it cannot be compared with that terrifying demon army, in Zhang Tie's opinion, such a lineup can already be called a luxury. It can be deployed in a battle fort in the entire Sernes war zone. There are only a handful of countries with more than 600 ninth-level warriors.
Zhang Tie and Ximan were arranged by Liu Xi to live in a very narrow room near the battle fort wall in Huaiyuantang Battle Fort, with dense steam pipes all over the top.
Seaman's four-person room is only a little over three square meters in total. Four high-strength steel wire beds fixed to the wall are all the furniture in the room. Several steam pipes in the room are very hot. The whole room is temperature. It is more than 5 degrees higher than outside. Because the battle fort was transported by air, in order to save the weight of the air transport to the greatest extent, the insulation panels in the room and the pipes were saved. This situation is better in winter, but in summer, living in such a room is almost like being squeezed into a steamer.
Zhang Tie's situation is slightly better. It is an independent room, but it is not comfortable at all. If it is a castle, there will also be appearance and comfort considerations. But for the battle fort, it only considers having two things - lethality and defense. What is beauty and what is comfort. This has never been a question that battle fort designers would consider.
Liu Xi found some clothes that were returned to Yuantang soldiers and asked Zhang Tie and Ximan to change into them. Otherwise, the clothes they were wearing would be too eye-catching here.
In addition to Liu Xi, there are more than ten senior brothers from Qianlong Hall in the battle fort, but Zhang Tie is not familiar with these people. Don't even know the name. Apart from knowing that they were both from Qianlong Hall, they had no other connections. On the contrary, after knowing that Zhang Tie came to the battle fort, those guys came over to watch Zhang Tie one by one, wanting to see Zhang Tie's "love scene in Qianlong Hall". The demeanor of "the most romantic person" caused Zhang Tie to have a black line on his head, making it difficult to get angry.
Only after arriving here did Zhang Tie find out. At this moment, the number of human airships gathered in the Sernes war zone has reached more than 16,000, precisely because of the existence of these airships. It allows humans to have considerable air superiority over the entire war zone. After this advantage is offset by the ground advantage held by the terrifying demon army, the human and demon armies can maintain a relative stalemate here.
The human airship force is currently undertaking a very arduous task, which is to prevent the demon army from completing large-scale assembly on the front line. As long as the assembled demon army exceeds a certain number of people and regional density, it will become the airship force. Bomb the target. There are two main types of weapons used by airships to attack ground troops. One is the terrifying white phosphorus gel incendiary bomb, and the other is the powerful alchemical bomb.
White phosphorus gel incendiary bombs can burn on any object it is attached to, and are very difficult to extinguish. They will burn even in water. If this kind of thing is attached to the surface of animals or organisms, the fatty substances in those animals and organisms will It will also be ignited by white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs and become a source of burning heat. This incendiary bomb is a huge threat to the demon troops. Even a ninth-level demon warrior will be exposed to this incendiary bomb once it is touched. , the consequences are either death or injury. It is said that the only people who can protect themselves from the damage of this kind of weapon are the fourteenth-level war demons who have developed body-protecting fighting spirit. No one below this level can be spared.
As for the alchemy bomb, let alone that. As long as the conditions are right, this kind of bomb can even deceive knights, let alone ordinary demons with flesh and blood.
Zhang Tie heard from Liu Xi that the total number of alchemy bombs gathered by various countries in the Sernes war zone at this moment may have exceeded 1,000.
Three cities, hundreds of battle forts, hundreds of kilometers of defense lines, more than 1,000 alchemical bombs, more than 16,000 war airships, more than 100,000 armored vehicles, and more than 5 million human troops, this is the human race The confidence to survive in the Sernes war zone.
At this moment, the situation in the Sernes war zone is in a very complex and fierce stalemate. The human airship troops are looking for fighters in the sky to severely damage the terrifying demon army, while the terrifying demon army is looking for them on the ground. Seizing the opportunity to tear through the human race's defense line in Serness in one fell swoop, the offensive and defensive forces in the sky and on the ground were different, making the battle situation extremely complicated.
Of course, the so-called complexity is only for big shots and outsiders. For those who are on the front line at this moment, especially those who often rush into the Crystal War Fortress where they fight each other with the demonic troops in the Serness Plains. For elite level warriors, this Holy War is just a collision between blades and life and death. It couldn’t be simpler. Since the establishment of the Crystal War Castle, the ninth-level warriors of Huaiyuantang who sacrificed here have been More than twenty people were killed, and the number of sacrifices for warriors below level nine was about 400. The number of sacrifices for the airship troops was even more, more than 3,000. In this war zone, as long as the human airship performs its mission, If it is shot down by the demon wing demon, it is basically impossible for any soldier on the airship to escape from the war zone alive.
The Sernes war zone is now a huge meat grinder.
Lan Yunxi is currently the top commander of the Jinyun Kingdom's airship force stationed in the Sernes war zone. Naturally, it is impossible for him to stay in the battle fort all day long. In fact. According to Liu Xi, Lan Yunxi spent very little time in the battle fort a week ago. Lan Yunxi had just led the airship troops to replenish a batch of important supplies at the airship base behind the Sernes war zone and returned to the battlefield. If he didn't throw a third of those things on the heads of the demons, Lan Yunxi would definitely not return.
Since half a year ago, an airship base of the Carlo Federation in the Serness War Zone was destroyed by a small demon force, and more than 500 docked airships of the Carlo Federation were burned to the ground. In the entire war zone, except for Mog. In addition to the three large-scale airship supply and maintenance bases retained in the three cities of Wolfe and Sladik, most of the airship supply bases in the war zone have been moved to safer places in the rear. If the Crystal Battle Fortress hadn't been big enough and the strength inside the Battle Fortress wasn't strong enough to provide adequate protection for the airships docked here, no airship would have dared to dock here casually for rest. And even if you come back. The airship troops of Jinyun Kingdom only came to the airship base here in batches for a short rest, and they would not stay for too long.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Tie was not a frontline combatant at the moment, and therefore, no one would assign him a task. He stayed in the Crystal War Fortress for two days, and it was not until the night of March 14 that he met Lan Yun. Xi.
Under the guidance of light signals from the ground, a large number of airships began to land on the landing field next to the Crystal Battle Castle. There was also an airship that landed directly in the Crystal War Fortress. The airship that landed in the Crystal War Fortress had some damage and scars on its body. One of the independent airbag compartments had deflated. As soon as the airship landed, the entire Crystal Battle Fortress ground crew began to move quickly, busy repairing the airship's hull and airbags.
Several teams of elite ninth-level warriors in the battle fort have quietly left the battle fort and began to patrol and set up secret sentries within 20 kilometers around the battle fort to prevent them from being accidentally touched by the demon team. The airship force caused huge losses. For a group of ninth-level warriors, it only takes a few minutes to cause serious damage and casualties to a group of airships staying on the ground. This is why the airships only use it after dark. The reason for falling to the ground is that darkness makes it harder for the demons to discover the whereabouts of those airships in the sky.
An hour after the airships landed, Zhang Tie met Lan Yunxi.
Lan Yunxi was in the airship that landed in the Crystal War Fortress. When Zhang Tie saw Lan Yunxi, Lan Yunxi was in the command cabin of the airship. There were many people around her, all of whom were from the Crystal War. The younger generations of each family in the fort are able to take charge of their own affairs, as well as other senior officers of the airship force.
The captain of a Stormrage-class airship has the rank of captain. The commander of a squadron of 8 Stormrage-class airships has the rank of major. The commander of a squadron of 50 Stormrage-class airships has the rank of lieutenant colonel. The colonel can command an airship brigade of 200 Stormrage-class airships. The Jinyun Kingdom's nearly a thousand airships commanded by Lan Yunxi are already at the corps level.
When Liu Xi brought Zhang Tie into the command cabin, Lan Yunxi was sitting on the command chair and listening attentively to the words of a tall man with a colonel's military academy. "... Every time the airship attacks, although the glider released can play a The role of early warning and reconnaissance, but once encountering a winged demon, it is difficult for the warriors controlling the glider to survive. This time, we sacrificed thirteen warriors controlling the glider. Now the warriors on each airship are using Drawing lots will be used to decide who will fly the glider next. The morale of the soldiers is still very high now, and they all regard such sacrifices as an honor, but this is not the way to go in the long run... "
Lan Yunxi had already seen Zhang Tie coming in, but she didn't even look in his direction. Instead, she kept listening intently to the opinions of everyone around her. Seeing Lan Yunxi's ashen face, Zhang Tie The iron little heart suddenly started beating.
Just like excessive modesty is pride, Lan Yunxi, who had no expression at all, had the biggest expression in Zhang Tie's eyes at this moment.
Because there was still a mission in the evening, Liu Xi brought Zhang Tie, explained to Zhang Tie and left. Zhang Tie sat in an inconspicuous place in the command cabin, waiting quietly for Lan Yunxi. At the same time, I was also thinking about how to speak later.
At this moment, Lan Yunxi has not been seen for almost four years, and she has become more mature. In addition to being as beautiful as ever, she also has a temperament that she did not have four years ago. She is awe-inspiring and majestic, just like in It exudes a kind of light. Although it does not sting, it also gives people a sense of distance like touching the clouds, which cannot be easily touched. You may even feel ashamed of yourself.
Zhang Tie thought he was low-key enough, but he didn't know how special his ordinary military uniform worn by private soldiers was in this command cabin at this moment. Even though he no longer wanted to attract attention, someone still noticed him.
"Are you a soldier on the airship? Why are you so ignorant of the rules? Is this where you came from? Why don't you get out!" A handsome major officer in his twenties came with a frown and a straight face. In front of Zhang Tie, he scolded him unceremoniously.
When the major officer walked up to him. Zhang Tie noticed that Lan Yunxi seemed to glance this way, but did not show any expression, as if he wanted to see how he would be dealt with.
Are all women so petty? Zhang Tie cursed secretly in his stomach. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the major officer, but he still sat motionless. When senior brother Liu Xi brought him in just now, this guy also saw it. He didn't speak at that time. At this time, he came here deliberately to cause trouble, not to cause trouble.
At this moment, Zhang Tie knew what this guy meant just by looking at the faint admiration in the eyes of the men in the command cabin looking at Lan Yunxi. Damn it, if you want to show off in front of Lan Yunxi, you don't need to use yourself as a stepping stone and prop, holy shit!
Seeing that Zhang Tie ignored him, the major officer's face suddenly turned red, and an angry expression appeared on his face. He lowered his body slightly and lowered his voice a little. He gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Tie, "I asked you to get out, did you hear it?"
Zhang Tie took out his ears with one hand, then blew on it, and just when the guy was about to be angry, he said slowly, "Well, I'm sorry, I'm not a soldier of the Crystal War Castle, so I don't I don’t know what the rules are here, and it’s not a war meeting here, so I don’t see why I can’t come!”
The major officer was stunned, "You are not a soldier of the Crystal War Castle, so what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to find my wife!" Zhang Tie said this in a voice that was neither soft nor loud. With the keenness of a twelfth-level battle master's facial features, he didn't believe that Lan Yunxi couldn't hear what he said. Sure enough, He had just finished saying this when he saw Lan Yunxi's brows twitching as he was surrounded by a crowd over there. He could no longer maintain the calm expression on his face, but looked over with a vicious look.
Zhang Tie laughed heartily.
"Your wife is here?" It took the major officer a long time to realize what Zhang Tie was saying. After he said this, he looked back and saw that the female communications soldiers in the command cabin had already left. , there are other people here.
"Yes!" Zhang Tie said with a normal expression.
"Who is your wife?"
"My wife is..." Zhang Tie deliberately lengthened his voice, and then suddenly paused, "Guess?"
Zhang Tie blinked mischievously and made a face.
The major officer was furious and felt that Zhang Tie had been fooled. He was about to teach Zhang Tie a lesson when Lan Yunxi's voice suddenly came over.
"Junior brother Zhang Tie, farewell to Tianhan City. I haven't seen you for four years. I didn't expect to see you here again!" Lan Yunxi was already walking towards here.
Zhang Tie also stood up, and the expression on his face suddenly changed, "Sister Xi has not seen me for four years, but she is getting more and more beautiful!"
Listening to the frank conversation between Zhang Tie and Lan Yunxi, all the men in the command cabin immediately focused their eyes on Zhang Tie. If those eyes had any warmth, Zhang Tie would have been ignited by now. A torch—
The major officer who just wanted to get angry at Zhang Tie stood there awkwardly, scolding all the eighteen generations of Zhang Tie's ancestors in his heart, damn, you are Lan Yunxi's junior brother, why did you turn yourself into a soldier? Looks like, isn’t this a deception
Seeing that everyone's eyes in the command cabin were focused on Zhang Tie, Lan Yunxi showed a smile on her face and introduced to the people around her very generously, "Everyone, let me introduce to you, this person , is my junior brother, Zhang Tie, the most popular figure among the young generation of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang. At that time, he was not even a junior, but he already had more than forty confidantes. In Qianlong Hall, my junior brother’s reputation is even greater than that of Zhang Tie. I’m much louder!”
Murderous, murderous, the hairs on Zhang Tie's spine suddenly stood up. (… )
