There were a few gentle knocks on the door of the airship captain's room. Zhang Tie interrupted his secret spell practice in the Great Wilderness Sutra and opened the door, only to see a crew member from the Idiot standing outside his door.
"Captain, ahead is the capital of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, Ousli. The first mate asked me to tell you!"
"Oh, okay, I'll go to the command module later!"
The crew members saluted and left. Zhang Tie also arranged his clothes, put on his hat, and then walked towards the command cabin.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was wearing a dark green military uniform with no military rank, belonging to the Jinyun National Militia standard. If it weren't for the captain's logo of the airship pinned on his chest, no one would believe that he was the majestic one in front of him. The captain of the ruthless fury-classed war airship.
The captain's bedroom is the best room on the airship, and it is also very close to the command module of the airship. After passing through the spacious passage in the middle of the Stormrage-class airship that can allow three people to pass at the same time, and then walking down a short flight of stairs, Zhang Tie will enter. Arriving at the command module of the airship.
"At 13:58 pm on April 7, the captain entered the airship command module and took over the command of the airship!"
Seeing Zhang Tie coming in, the first mate of the airship, who was standing in the captain's command position next to the helmsman of the airship, immediately said loudly in a loud voice that at this moment, except for the volunteers who were not wearing military uniforms, everything on the Idiot was the same as that of a ship. Like war airships that officially go on expedition, they have strict operating procedures and systems. After the first mate said loudly, the second mate of the airship in the command module immediately made notes on the airship's drawing and flight log.
Everyone in the command cabin saluted Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie returned the salute. Then he walked up to the command position three steps above the ground of the command cabin, held the railing around the command position with his hands, and lowered his head. Looking towards the ground below the airship.
There is a very advanced one-foot-square top-view imaging lens on the command position. This device is a bit like a huge telescope facing the ground. Through the use of optical principles, the captain can see the airship clearly by lowering his head at this position. The situation on the ground below can also adjust the angle and size of the image appearing in the imaging lens.
The airship at this moment was at an altitude of more than two thousand meters, and on the periscope imaging lens in front of Zhang Tie. Everything on the ground was clearly presented in front of Zhang Tie's eyes. Zhang Tie didn't know what the capital of the Golden Orchid Empire looked like, but at this moment. Most of the city below has been turned into ruins, which is even worse than the situation in Black Flame City.
Three months after the outbreak of the Holy War, Osley encountered a demonic disaster. The Holy Golden Orchid Empire, which had been tortured by Haige VII to the point of dying in name only, officially collapsed in this demonic disaster.
Even before the Holy Golden Orchid Empire completely collapsed and dissipated. Sea Song VII issued a ridiculous order - ordering the entire empire to be disbanded. He asked those Ausley subjects who were still loyal to him to follow him to a new world and recreate a world full of "light and love". In the brand new country, after issuing this order, the entire royal family of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire disappeared.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the Holy Golden Orchid Empire perished in the demonic disaster or in the hands of Haige VII, for the citizens of a country. When the Holy War came, I met such a strange emperor. I don’t know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune. With the disappearance of the entire royal family of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, the people in the city of Aoli had no fighting spirit even before the demonized puppet army came. Most people, just like their ridiculous emperor, had already slipped away with their soles greased.
The people who scolded Haige VII the most were not the citizens of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire who had been tormented by His Majesty the Emperor a long time ago and had completely lost confidence in this country, but those who had paid two hundred, Or even more gold coins, the "promising young people" who dreamed of Osley becoming the consort and future prince of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire.
No one has counted how many of these "promising young people" there are, but at that time the diplomatic embassies of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire advertised in various countries throughout the Blackson Human Corridor, so a rough estimate is that at least Tens of thousands of people have had their "consort registration fees" wasted. Of course, Zhang Tie is among those whose registration fees have been wasted.
The registration fees for tens of thousands of people add up to a lot of money, and it is said that the registration fees are divided into many different levels. Different levels have different benefits. The registration fee of 200 gold coins is aimed at ordinary people who want to reach the sky in one step. Those for little people are considered the lowest, and there are also some for those mainland wealthy and nouveau riche who have more special treatment. I heard that the "consort registration fee" is hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Therefore, no one knows how much money Haige VII made in the name of choosing a consort, but it was definitely not a small amount anyway.
After the royal family of the entire Holy Golden Orchid Empire disappeared collectively, some people said that Sea Song VII was the biggest liar in the history of the entire Blackson Human Corridor because he used one of his own daughters to complete the entire Blackson Human Race just before the arrival of the Holy War. The biggest robbery in the history of the corridor.
More "promising young people" can only admit that they are unlucky and cannot speak out about their suffering, because according to the agreement between the two parties, this matter really has nothing to do with Haige VII.
For Pandora, Zhang Tie also paid the "consort registration fee" of 200 gold coins at the embassy of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire in Jinyun State, which was like a black intermediary, and also signed an agreement to participate in the registration. He didn't take this matter to heart, but two days ago he took out the agreement and looked at it carefully, and finally found such a line of small words like ant's legs somewhere in the agreement.
- In the event of force majeure such as war, natural disasters, etc., the Holy Golden Orchid Empire Royal Family has the right to postpone, terminate or waive the performance of this agreement. In the event of such force majeure, the applicant shall be responsible for any losses caused by such force majeure. No matter how much the registration fee is, Non-refundable, Holy Golden Orchid Empire and its royal family assume no responsibility.
—Note: The force majeure factors stipulated in the contract include but are not limited to those listed in the attachment of this agreement, and the Holy Golden Orchid Empire Royal Family has the final right to interpret this.
Jihad is of course a force majeure. And it is the most powerful kind of force majeure, so no one can say anything.
When he saw this clause, even Zhang Tie was speechless. He even had some doubts about whether the out-of-touch Emperor Haige VII had known that the Holy War would break out before then, so he pushed his daughter out and completed such a robbery.
No one can answer this question now, because the entire royal family of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire has disappeared, and no one knows where they went. The royal family of an empire disappeared en masse. This kind of thing, if it were in peaceful times, would definitely cause an uproar. But at this moment, with the coming of the Holy War, many countries have perished or are perishing, and in these troubled times, countless people are dying every day. Such a thing. It was just like a wave in a tsunami. In the blink of an eye, no one paid attention to it.
Zhang Tie adjusted the scene on the overlooking imaging lens in front of him and observed the situation of Osley under his feet—large areas of collapsed or destroyed buildings with almost no human habitation. Occasionally, a few people could be seen wandering among the ruins. Demonized puppet zombies, everything in front of Zhang Tie's eyes was the scene of the most prosperous capital of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire.
Since leaving Jinyun Country. The further north he flew, the more scenes Zhang Tie saw. His mood became heavier and heavier. At this moment, he finally understood the thoughts of those people in Yiyang City who held signs saying that as long as someone could take them away from this continent, they would voluntarily become slaves.
Those people are the group of people who have been most harmed by the jihad that Zhang Tie has seen so far. The pain of that group of people has made them understand better what is the biggest and most realistic pursuit of an ordinary person in the jihad - to survive!
Looking at the mottled land below the airship, which was like a palette contaminated by dull tones of black and gray, Zhang Tie's face was calm, but his heart was not as calm as his appearance, but full of turmoil.
If the grand event to select a husband for Pandora was a premeditated scam to make money by taking advantage of the arrival of the Holy War, then why did Haige VII know that the Jihad would break out before the grand gathering to choose a husband, and the time determined by Haige VII was even Before the Tianhan City incident, unless they were demons or key figures in the Three-Eyed Society, no one could have such an accurate grasp of the timing of the Holy War.
It was only after he left the ice and snow wasteland that he had a clear idea of the time for the arrival of the Holy War. How could Haige VII know it so early
If Haige VII is really a demon or a person with three eyes, then what role does Pandora play in this matter? Is Pandora a pure innocent, or is it possible that like Haige VII, she is a demon? Or someone with three eyes? If Pandora is a demon or a member of the Three-Eyed Society, how will he face her when he sees her again
Zhang Tie's mood was a little complicated. In order to come to Ousli to see it in person, the route planned by the Fool for its northward trip was more than a thousand kilometers longer than the shortest one. Looking at the large ruins at his feet, he knew He didn't have to face Pandora at the moment. For some reason, Zhang Tie felt a little relieved.
Even if Pandora is really a demon or a member of the Three Eyes Society, Zhang Tie knows that it is really difficult for him to aim his weapons at Pandora, let alone attack her.
Just leave everything to time to solve it!
In less than twenty minutes, the Idiot passed over Ousili, and then left the ruined city behind.
Zhang Tie turned his head and asked the first mate a question, "Are there any monsters within a few hundred kilometers of here that often attack airships..."
"This route is relatively safe, but in the wild, there are many mutant creatures and monsters that attack airships. It is easy to find them if you look for them deliberately..."
Zhang Tie nodded, and was about to ask the first mate to find a place near the route for him to kill a few aerial monsters and so on, so that he could create a Soul Tribulation Realm on the airship, so that he could practice the skills on the airship. Glider and rotor parachute, but before he could say anything, the early warning bell in the airship command module rang all of a sudden...
