Volume 36 Chapter 18
I haven't been back for more than three years, and the Lion Fortress is still the same. If it weren't for the three floating fortresses that were still floating above the fortress, they returned from the battlefield and seemed to have bloody battles. Many knights have just experienced a great battle.
Zhang Tie turned into Cui Li's appearance again, and walked into the Lion Fortress without hindrance.
The knights guarding the entrance and exit of the fortress were still Chinese knights, but they were already unfamiliar faces. No one Zhang Tie knew. From the meticulous attire and serious faces of those young knights, Zhang Tie knew that this They are a few knights who have just come to the metaverse to fight.
The knights who have just served in the Diyuan Realm will have the aura of newcomers in the Diyuan Realm, and they will be strict in everything they do. This is somewhat similar to the recruits who have just entered the army.
For more than three years, especially after going through a series of battles and killing nearly half a dozen demon earth knights, Zhang Tie has unknowingly had a kind of aura that only veterans of the earth element world have. , indifferent, yet bitter.
"That person just now seems to be an earth knight?"
"Ah, too young..."
"Perhaps the master of the seven sects!"
"This man has the murderous aura of a battle, maybe he just came back from Tiewei Mountain..."
"Ah, Black Iron Knight, did I read it wrong!"
Amidst the subtle voices and awe-inspiring eyes of several young knights, Zhang Tie swiped his ID card on the machine at the gate of the city, and then entered the Lion Fortress.
The identity card of Zhang Tie's Lion Fortress is still the one used to enter and exit the Knight's Tower, and has not been replaced, but that identity card is of the Black Iron Knight level. Those knights guarding the gate saw Zhang Tie's identity card , I was a little uncertain whether Zhang Tie was a black iron knight or an earth knight.
...
There is a unique smell of water melon wine floating in the whole fortress.
Just on the street, Zhang Tie could see many knights and auxiliary combatants who were drunk and fell asleep on the side of the street.
Zhang Tie didn't laugh at these people, because he knew the mood of people who came back alive from the battlefield. After extreme depression and tension, only revelry and strong alcohol can make people release the pressure.
The alcohol content of water melon wine is not high, but when Zhang Tie came to Lion Fortress for the first time, he knew that some knights even built a simple distillation equipment, which can make the concentration of water melon wine close to alcohol. That's enough flavor.
In the Lion Fortress, water melon wine brewed from grain is also an important resource. It is forbidden to "purify and squander" this kind of resource in the fortress, but at this time, after the war, the smell of water melon wine floating in the fort , but let Zhang Tie know that the so-called Lion Fortress regulations, at this time, will be very humane.
In addition to the difference in strength, most knights are actually similar to ordinary people, with the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of ordinary people.
There is a carnival atmosphere in the whole fortress.
Some people hug and kiss on the street, and some people cry bitterly after getting drunk...
At this moment, joy and sorrow were as thick as the black mist of the first abyss. In the carnival release, they intertwined and permeated the entire Lion Fortress, making Zhang Tie feel a little bit infected.
Although Zhang Tie, who had just returned from the Tieweishan battlefield, did not know the specific statistics of the casualties of both sides after the war, but he had been guerrilla in the battlefield for such a long time, he also understood that this war, no matter for the human race or the demon race, It is said that it was a big collision between the top military forces of the two sides after the start of the holy chalk war today,
Casualties of knights on both sides are definitely quite a lot, and either side has suffered a lot of losses. This kind of war has just ended, and both sides need time to summarize and review, and at the same time lick the wounds after the war. The first abyss will return to a relatively calm confrontation state. It is estimated that large-scale chalky knight battles will not be fought in the next few years, and the two sides will continue to compete on the ground battlefield.
Zhang Tie was ready to return to the ground.
But before returning, he had to go back to Lion Fortress to "finish".
As soon as he thought of returning to the ground, for some reason, Zhang Tie would recall in his mind the news he heard from the demons on the battlefield a few months ago——Emperor Xuanyuan has disappeared!
Zhang Tie wanted to go to the Tower of Glory first.
Cui Li had been away from the Black Armor Castle for a few months, and if he had no record at all, it would be unreasonable, so Zhang Tie had prepared a record for Cui Li—a bull horn of a minotaur earth knight and a black iron knight with the largest chest. The hard scales, these two things, can be used as proof of Cui Li's military exploits.
In the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie still has the horns and kill certificates of several demon earth knights, but taking out those things at this time will only push Cui Li to the forefront. To put it bluntly, after killing the Shadow Demon Earth Knight of the Demon Race, he was able to kill another Earth Knight and Black Iron Knight of the Demon Race. To establish Cui Li's status as an earth knight master among the human race, everything is just right, too much is too much.
Just as Zhang Tie turned a corner, he saw two acquaintances in the distance.
Brahm and Cecilia were kissing passionately on the edge of the flower bed on the street, neither of them noticed that Cui Li had just turned to this street.
The place where Zhang Tie was was about a hundred meters away from the two of them. There were many knights in the Lion Fortress, and the two of them didn't pay attention to a big man who turned around from a distant street corner.
At this moment, Brahm no longer had an arm on his body, so that when he and Cecilia kissed passionately, he could only wrap one hand around Cecilia's waist.
The two lips parted, and Brahm knelt down on one knee in front of the female knight Cecilia, held Cecilia's hand with one hand, raised his head, and looked affectionately at the woman in front of him. A fit female knight, "marry me, although I only have one hand, as long as I live, I will use this hand to protect you at any time, even in the end, unless I die in front of you, no one will can hurt you."
Cecilia looked at the man in front of him who was usually taciturn, but at the critical moment he did not hesitate to protect himself with his life. Tears rolled down his face. She didn't speak, but just nodded.
There were a few people drinking on the side of the road, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help cheering.
For both men and women, getting rich may cause couples who have been married for many years to divorce, while experiencing life and death together may make two people who have not held hands decide to hold hands and go on together.
Felton staggered out of the roadside tavern with a bottle of wine in his hand, pointed at Brahm who had a satisfied smile on his face, "You... you guy... I've seen it before... You already liked Cecilia, right..."
Brahm, who usually doesn't talk much, just smiled foolishly. Cecilia glanced at him, but tightly held his only hand.
Felton beat his chest and stamped his feet, "You have plucked the flower of the knights of the Francian Empire, how can you let us knights who also come from the western continent live!"
"Lion Fortress has secret life potions. As long as we serve here for a few more years and accumulate enough merit points, we will be able to cure your injury!" Cecilia looked at Brahm and said bluntly. , Cecilia, as a female knight, is a very decisive person.
Brahm was about to say something, but his eyes widened suddenly, because he saw a big bald man with a sincere smile on his face, walking towards the three of them.
"Cui Li..." Brahm yelled.
Felton and Cecilia turned their heads together and saw Zhang Tie.
"Ah, it's really Cui Li..." Cecilia was also taken aback.
Felton, who seemed to be a little drunk just now, saw Zhang Tie and rushed towards Zhang Tie like lightning.
"Hahahaha..." Zhang Tie laughed, and gave Felton a man's bear hug when he rushed over, "Long time no see, Felton!"
Felton was very excited, and beat Zhang Tie's chest and shoulders vigorously, almost incoherently, "We just returned to the Lion Fortress, and we heard the news that you are still alive, boy, they all said that you killed a The shadow demon of the most difficult demon clan, that shadow demon is still an earth knight, you have won the most dazzling award in the Tieweishan theater...it's unbelievable, have you advanced to an earth knight?"
"Yes, I survived by chance in the ruins of the temple, and I was promoted to a knight of the earth!" Zhang Tie also patted Felton on the shoulder, and at the same time opened his arms again, and Brah, who only had one left hand, Mu gave a bear hug, then parted, glanced at Brahm's lost right arm, and frowned slightly, "Bram, what happened to your right hand?"
"When the iron ring mountain battle formation collided, we collapsed from the human knight formation. At the critical moment, in order to save Cecilia, Brahm's right arm was instantly attacked by the demon formation. It melted..." Felton, who was chatty, rushed to explain the reason, "but Brahm also made money. This guy lost a right arm, but he picked off all the knight flowers of the French Empire. It's..."
Hearing Felton's words, Zhang Tie knew that in the last big collision of knights, when he was obsessed with demon knights, among the collapsed human knights, there were several people he knew Felton Well, the three of them are still alive now. There is really no second explanation other than fate. However, although Brahm survived, he still paid the price.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. You can come back alive. This is the best news we've heard back in the Lion Fortress!"
Compared with Felton and Brahm, the meeting between Cecilia and Zhang Tie is more subtle... If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
