Chapter 21 Blood Castle

Jerome and the others waited in Zhang Tie's tent for only five or six minutes before Zhang Tie came back. Zhang Tie came back with four sets of field uniforms that were the same as the ones he was wearing in one hand, and four sets of field uniforms in the other hand. Carrying the weapons needed by four people in the same package-a short dagger, a long sword, a long gun, and a double-sided snow-bladed giant ax weighing more than 50 kilograms.

"The clothes are all chosen according to the figures of the four of you. Put them on, take your weapons, and let's go!"

Jerome and the others were overjoyed, they didn't expect Zhang Tie to handle things so neatly, and they didn't talk too much, each took a set of field uniforms in the tent, and changed them neatly.

After Professor Simon took off his outer pants, Zhang Tie discovered that the shriveled old man's calf was still wrapped in a leather tool bag, which was full of all kinds of oddly shaped knives and hooks. , almost ready for surgery. Presumably when a few people were caught just now, the senior brothers in Qianlongtang saw that they had no combat power and the matter was not too big, so they didn't bother to search him, so they didn't find the gun hidden on his leg. That package.

While several people were changing their clothes, Jerome introduced his other two companions to Zhang Tie. The tallest one was named Zordan, a fighter of level eight, and the strongest among them. A person, a squadron leader in the Thunder God mercenary regiment. In the military rank division of the mercenary empire Ames, Zordan is equivalent to a captain.

The system of the mercenary regiment is slightly different from that of the regular army, but generally speaking, the various classes are still very distinct. In Ames, the combat units in each mercenary regiment are generally divided into combat groups, battle teams, squads, squadrons, brigades, and regiments. , Divided by column, its number is roughly equivalent to combat units such as squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, and divisions in the army of many human countries.

Jerome and the others came this time with a total of nine people, which is the configuration of a standard combat team in the mercenary regiment. However, among the nine people, except for Professor Simon, the other eight are fighters above the sixth level. The lineup of the combat team, in the mercenary group, can only be described as "luxury" two people.

The guy with short brown hair is called Shrek, the only guy among them who can speak Chinese, level 7, a senior scout in the Thunder God mercenary group, his eyes are very poisonous, he is also clever, and he is best at fighting in the city. Reconnaissance and Street Fighting in

Looking at this "luxurious" combat team, Zhang Tie didn't feel much in his heart. When he was in Heiyan City, becoming a sixth-level fighter was once the biggest dream of him and his brother, but at this moment, even Zhang Tie didn't know when he started, but he no longer had the feeling of awe for those fighters who were below the tenth level and needed him to look up to a year ago.

These people are now in Zhang Tie's eyes, except for some guys at level nine who may cause him a little trouble, most fighters are no different from ordinary soldiers below level five to him. An existence that can be eliminated with a single punch.

During this period of time, the contest with the demonized puppets made Zhang Tie's iron-blooded fist more dazzling in a large number of fighting and actual combat. In Zhang Tie's hands, the iron-blooded fist slowly showed the power of the founding emperor of the Norman Empire. With the help of the powerful demeanor of building a country and ruling the roost in the corridors of the Blackson people.

After a while, several people in the tent put on the field combat uniforms brought by Zhang Tie, put on the combat uniform hats, and filled the layers on both sides of the brim with soft activated carbon materials, and at the same time had masks to prevent cold and hide Pulling down and fastening the triple-function mouth-nose breathing mask on his own face, Jerome and the others only showed a pair of eyes, and few people could still recognize their original appearance.

Several people each took the weapons Zhang Tie brought.

"Is this okay?" Jerome still asked carefully.

"No problem, there are some elite soldiers of the Huaiyuantang Hurricane Corps who are besieging Tianhan City now. The soldiers of the Hurricane Corps come from all over the world, and there are all races. You follow me, as long as it is not too conspicuous, no one will come I don't care!" Zhang Tie replied confidently.

Jerome nodded, "Thunder God's Mercenary Group owes you a favor!"

Zhang Tie smiled, "The big shots don't want ordinary people to know too much information about jihad for various reasons, but I think the more people know about such information, the better, at least for ordinary people, At least they won't be pushed to the front line casually to be cannon fodder, and in the end they don't even know how they died!"

"Your thinking is very special!" Professor Simon glanced at Zhang Tie, "There are very few people in the big family who think like you!"

Zhang Tie shrugged, "Probably because I used to live at the bottom, so I understand how ordinary people think. For things like jihad, if the front line loses, the situation is dangerous, and the rich and powerful can sit on the bench." The airship ran away, and the people who were ruined by the demons and suffered disasters were all ordinary people who didn't even have the chance to escape. I don't think it's fair, if ordinary people can know more Regarding the news related to this, even if you want to flee for your life, you can still have a little more time to prepare!"

"People in the Thor Legion are all fighters, not cowards who just run away. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely let those hateful demons taste the power of my ax!" Zordan mumbled after trying the weight of the ax in his hand He said something sullenly.

"You are warriors, but you also have family members and friends. They may not all be warriors. If you know that the demon army will attack Amasi in a year, you will let your family and friends stay with Amasi and you. Do you want to fight together? If you knew that demons might be everywhere in the corridor of the Blackson Terran in two years, would you let your friends who are not fighters escape to a safe place first? If you knew that the holy war would break out in half a year, would you Won’t your family start saving and saving food and getting ready for winter from now on?”

Jordan fell silent. Looking at Zhang Tie at this moment, Jerome felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in his heart, as if he saw the stoic and simple boy in the wild wolf valley trial again, as if he saw the high-spirited Zhang Tie standing on the dueling platform, but He didn't cut the last sword towards the opponent lying on the ground. During this year, many things have changed, and many people have also changed, but the kindness in this young man's heart is still the same. exist.

With such a student, maybe that guy Colin will also feel gratified! Jerome said to himself in his heart.

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, several people in the tent were thoughtful.

Zhang Tie didn't speak anymore, but picked up the nine-pack heavy metal spear pouch that had killed countless enemies these days, and lifted the tent, "Let's go!"

Several people walked out with Zhang Tie.

After leaving the camp, after walking a few hundred meters, it is the wilderness, and the Tianhan City in the distance can already be seen. Walking all the way from the camp, many people saw a few people behind Zhang Tie, and they were not surprised, but no one came to ask.

"It's about fifteen kilometers from here to Tianhan City. If you have to go, it will take a lot of time. How fast can you keep marching?" Zhang Tie asked Professor Simon. The old man was a bit old, so he naturally had to ask.

"Although I'm not a fighter, I'm still a level five soldier. I can run a distance of 15 kilometers in an hour without any problem!" Professor Simon said proudly.

"Well, everyone, follow me. In order not to waste time on the road, I will choose a route that encounters relatively few demonized puppets on the road, so as to avoid being entangled by them! Remember, unless the head of the demonized puppets is cut off or Blow his entire body or head to pieces, destroying its brain structure, otherwise the demonized puppet will not die easily!"

Zhang Tie reminded again, and everyone nodded, so under the leadership of Zhang Tie, the five people started running and rushed towards Tianhan City.

Along the way, the group met quite a few teams. Those teams ranged from three to five people to dozens or hundreds of people. They came from various places. The elites of the ministries, as well as some of the young men recruited from the refugee camp, all of them dispersed, and cast a big net outside Tianhan City, hunting and killing those who ran out of Tianhan City Demonized puppets or collect the hungry corpses of those hunted demonized puppets and burn or bury them.

After encountering those teams many times, Jerome and his party realized that without Zhang Tie, even if they could sneak in from the refugee camp, it would be very difficult to get close to Tianhan City.

The nine-unit heavy metal spear pouch on Zhang Tie's back has almost become Zhang Tie's symbol on this battlefield at this time. Everyone who sees Zhang Tie, whether it is Taishijia or Huaiyuantang No one dared to trouble Zhang Tie. Many teams shouted excitedly when they saw Zhang Tie.

"Demon Slayer Spear..."

"Demon Slayer Spear..."

Except for Shrek, none of Jerome could understand Chinese. At first, when someone saw their team yelling this slogan, they were a little nervous, thinking that they were in trouble. After meeting several times, Jerome and the others understood that those people were calling out after seeing Zhang Tie.

"Shrek, what were those people calling just now?" Zuo Dan who was behind Zhang Tie asked.

"They're shouting a slogan!" Shrek glanced at the calm Zhang Tie, "That slogan means, the magical spear that destroys the demons seems to be said to Zhang Tie!"

"Is that a compliment from the Chinese or an honorary title?" Zordan asked in surprise.

This question stumped Shrek, and he didn't know how to explain it, because the cultural background of the Chinese people is different from theirs, and the meaning and understanding of many things will be different once they are explained. Even if the sentence just now is translated, there may be ambiguity. Because a magic word and a god word in the Chinese can refer to dozens of words in the Siberian context at the same time, and the god word also has magic, sacred, god, creator, wonder, and even a person's spiritual will And the meaning of mystery, the meaning of the word magic has many meanings such as demon, devil, evil, dark, wicked, vicious, non-human, or incomprehensible.

In the Siberian-speaking area, it is an earth-shattering event for a soldier to win an honorary title. Unless that person has made great achievements, it is absolutely impossible to get any honorary title, and according to the customary rules of this era, it is like a knighthood Similarly, the honorary title of a soldier must be obtained in the war with the demons, and the honorary title generally has a fixed format. The format is usually expressed in the place where great achievements have been made + nouns indicating their achievements or characteristics. Those people's address to Zhang Tie is obviously not an honorary title, let alone a compliment, but something in between that can only be accurately expressed in the context of Chinese culture.

When Shrek was scratching his head, Zhang Tie, who was running ahead, said, "That's not an honorary title, nor is it as formal and sacred as a compliment. You can understand it as a nickname with meaning of appreciation and praise, just like your servants. Some people in the Corps have the same nickname!"

"Is it like my nickname Steel Ax in Thor's Mercenary Group?" Zordan asked with interest.

"almost!"

"However, there are only a few people who know my nickname in the mercenary regiment. No one knows it when I come out. Everyone calls me by my name. There seem to be a lot of people who know your nickname!" Zuo Dan was a little depressed and said Said with some envy.

Unexpectedly, this big man is quite cute, Zhang Tie smiled, "That's because your nickname is not loud enough, and your characteristics are not clear enough. If you tan yourself a little bit, and pursue a little more limit when practicing fighting skills with an axe Effects, such as super fast speed, I will give you a nickname, and I will ensure that more people can know it!"

"Ah, what's the nickname?"

"Black Whirlwind!" Zhang Tie said jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Zordan thought about it seriously, but suddenly became happy, "Okay, that's it, the nickname of Black Whirlwind really sounds more imposing than the nickname of Steel Axe, Shrek, Jerome, from now on you Just call me Black Whirlwind!"

...

An hour later, under the leadership of Zhang Tie, the group met more than a dozen ordinary demonized puppets and arrived at the outskirts of Tianhan City smoothly. Before Zhang Tie could make a move, Zuo Dan, who wanted to prove his majestic nickname of "Black Whirlwind", swung his huge ax and was chopped into pieces in an instant.

After arriving at the outskirts of Tianhan City, everything was different from before.

At this time, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, the sun had already risen, the temperature on the earth was slowly rising, and a horrible, suffocating stench radiated from Tianhan City, and it was about 10 minutes away from the city. One kilometer, the morning wind blowing from the direction of Tianhan City suddenly made the faces of Jerome and the others turn pale.

The smell in the morning wind is not unfamiliar to several people, but it is so strong that it has such lethality, it is the first time for everyone to encounter it.

Even Zhang Tie, who hadn't pulled off the mouth-nose breathing mask on the hat of the field uniform along the way, also pulled off the mouth-nose breathing mask that could partially block the smell and fastened it.

"How many people were killed here?" Professor Simon asked with a change of color.

"It's not people, but demonized puppets. From July 7 to now, within one mile of the four gates of Tianhan City, at least 100,000 demonized puppets have been killed!" Zhang Tiechen Said in a loud voice, "The number of demonized puppets in Tianhan City is still more than 1 million. The corpses of these demonized puppets who have been killed cannot be cleaned up at all. Our people only control some areas near the four city gates. While destroying these demonized puppets, keep the city gates relatively unblocked, so that the people who are still alive in Tianhan City can escape!"

There are too many demonized puppets in Tianhan City. Except for those demonized puppets of the original Tianhan City Guards who still have some fighting power, the various ability indicators of other demonized puppets are only similar to the human beings who were their predecessors. , but compared with ordinary people, their overall combat effectiveness is stronger, because all the demonized puppets are extremely crazy, and they don't know what pain and fear are at all.

The more than one million demonized puppets in Tianhan City, just like the one million most heroic dead soldiers, are an existence that makes everyone feel afraid. After death, according to their instincts, they will still only move around the place where they finally sensed the existence of the female worm. Only a small number of demonized puppets will naturally wander out of Tianhan City. It's a pot of porridge.

These more than one million demonized puppets, as long as they act, under the command of the mother worm, can easily overwhelm the ordinary legions of two human races. However, the entire Langya County is relatively remote, and the troops of all local forces here will be added. At first glance, there are less than 400,000 people, how can they be the opponents of more than one million demonized puppet legions.

It can also be seen that the Zhen family's heart is sinister. If the holy war really comes and the Zhen family launches an attack in Tianhan City, the situation in the entire Langya County will be completely corrupted to the point of uncontrollable within a few days. Langya County is located in Jinyun Kingdom. There are no powerful forces or families within more than a thousand kilometers around the northwest. With this army of more than one million demonized puppets in hand, what kind of crazier things will the Zhen family do in Langya County? One can guess.

During the second holy war, the most powerful puppet worms controlled by the demons could even control more than 3 million demonized puppets at the same time.

At this moment, unless the troops of more than two legions are mobilized thousands of miles away and are prepared to pay a high price, there is only one way to deal with these demonized puppets in Tianhan City, and that is to use A small group of elite armed forces carried out encirclement and suppression in Tianhan City, weakening and reducing the number of demonized puppets in Tianhan City little by little. Fortunately, the demonized puppets are not fertile, so if you kill one, you will lose one, otherwise there will be more trouble here.

Outside the Tianhan City, the corpses here will encounter several corpses at almost every step, and all the corpses are those demonized puppets. More than 90% of the corpses have either had their heads chopped off or scattered into many pieces. , Many corpses have begun to rot and maggots - where is hell, this is it!

With the tough nerves of those in the Thor Mercenary Corps who are used to death and bloodshed, facing this kind of scene, they have not walked a hundred meters, including Simon, who is known as the biologist and chief forensic doctor and coroner of the Thor Mercenary Corps. Including the professor, all four of them started to vomit.

Zhang Tie didn't vomit. He had already passed the stage of vomiting. This scene also has part of his credit. Most of the corpses whose heads were still attached to their necks but had been completely exploded died under his flying spear. He looked at those corpses with an inexplicable sadness in his eyes, and in that sadness, there was still a cold flame burning!

These corpses used to be people like him!

Damn demons!

Zhang Tie has quietly set two life goals in his life until now. The first life goal was set in the Karur auction house. Since then, Zhang Tie has determined to be an alchemist .

The second life goal is a few days before Tianhan City was established, Zhang Tie, standing on a tower in Tianhan City, looked at the deep night sky and made up his mind. The lackeys of the clan and the three-eyed society let the corpses of the demon clan and the lackeys of the three-eyed society fill up a place as big as Tianhan City, and he will not rest in peace!

From that day on, looking at all this before him, Zhang Tie never vomited again. There was only sadness in Zhang Tie's eyes, but a cold flame was burning in his heart...

Jerome, who almost spit out all the bitterness, bent down and looked at Zhang Tie's still tall and straight back at the moment, feeling that Zhang Tie's body, which was not tall and strong, seemed like a steel-like timeless sculpture, embodying a A cold and hard power that does not belong to a boy of his age.

Some aspects of this young man are still the same as before, but some aspects are different—a thought flashed in Jerome's mind.

Zhang Tie waited for them quietly, and when several people had almost vomited up, all of them seemed to have red eyes and teary eyes when they straightened up, then nodded, "Let's go, it'll be fine after you vomit. Now there are more dead bodies outside the city, and it is better inside the city, but it is even more dangerous!"

Several people continued to follow Zhang Tie in that hell-like place, and soon came to the south gate of Tianhan City. Here, several people saw a quick and neat fight.

A group of people wearing the same clothes as the few people wearing at this moment, here, are simply killing a group of demonized puppets gathered in the passageway of the city gate, and then throwing those corpses aside, the city gate Channel cleared out.

Zhang Tie walked over, casually stomped a pink worm wriggling out of a person's head, and crushed it like a cockroach.

"Zhang Tie!" One of those people came over and called Zhang Tie's name, and Jerome and the others all shut their mouths.

"How is it? Did anyone come out alive today?" Zhang Tie looked at Liu Xu and asked.

"No!" Liu Xu shook his head, and his half-covered face was obviously not very good. "It's been almost a week, and fewer and fewer people can come out. These few are..."

Liu Xu's eyes turned to Jerome and the others behind Zhang Tie.

"A few friends I knew before heard about the accident in Tianhan City, and wanted to visit Tianhan City, so I brought them here!" Zhang Tie said bluntly, and there was no concealment of the identities of Jerome and the others in his words. mean.

Liu Xu looked away from Jerome and the others, as if he hadn't seen them, then lowered his voice and took a step closer, "I heard that the elder of the family is talking with the members of several other families. The big men are discussing the affairs of Tianhan City, several sensitive places in the inner city of Tianhan City and several families outside the banks in the outer city are watched by experts, and some experts are guerrilla in the city, you should be careful!"

Zhang Tie knew that Liu Xu had good intentions, and he also knew what Liu Xu was reminding himself, so he reached out and patted Liu Xu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, they just want to go in to learn about the situation, and they will probably go to the original Tianhan City City Guards Take a walk around a few barracks, if all goes well, you will leave in a few hours!"

"That's good, be careful!" Liu Xu also understood at once.

Zhang Tie nodded, took Jerome and the others, and walked into Tianhan City through the blood-stained passage...
