Volume 43 Chapter 40

The New Year's Eve in 905 of the Black Iron Calendar came unexpectedly. Three days after returning to the Black Water Base, the last day of 904 in the Black Iron Calendar slipped away from Zhang Tie's eyes without a sound...

There was a heavy snowfall last night. In one night, several prefectures in Anxi Governor's Mansion were covered in snow. The east and west sides of Helan Mountain were covered in heavy snow. The surging Weishui River also began to freeze A thick layer of icing.

The gloomy weather did not allow people to see the fairy dragon star rising from the east. Only the huge drums that shook the ten directions from the Xuanyuan Fortress last night made all the Chinese knights stationed here, In the excitement, I felt such a "new year flavor" that was almost forgotten...

In addition to the knights who routinely patrol and perform missions, on this day in 905 of the Black Iron Calendar, the knights stationed at Xuanyuan Fortress and various bases have a rare two-day vacation since entering the war zone.

There is tension and relaxation, which is the way of civil and military affairs. In the past few days when the demons' offensive has slowed down, Taixia's knights also ushered in their first New Year in the war zone, and all the knights' tense nerves have also eased. A chance to relax.

Because everyone couldn't leave the Xuanyuan Fortress and various bases too far away, on this day, the bars and various consumer places in the entire Xuanyuan Fortress were full at once.

...

"General Wei Ji? Da Sima actually appointed you as General Wei Ji?"

When he heard the words from Zhang Tie's mouth, Feng Cangwu stopped the wine glass raised to his lips, opened his eyes wide, looked at his head, and was looking out of the crystal French window with great interest. Zhang Tie of the scene.

The place where the two of them are now is the Tower of Radiance in Xuanyuan Fortress. This Tower of Radiance is now the busiest place in Xuanyuan Fortress. The tower also has many functional areas. Knights in the war zone can exchange supplies here, receive elemental crystals, and trade various trophies they have harvested on the battlefield. Knights bars and restaurants allow knights to consume and relax here. Of course, for many people, the most attractive thing about the entire Tower of Glory is not these, but the two towers standing in the hall of the Tower of Glory. Huge list of heroes of meritorious service.

On the list of meritorious heroes in the hall of the Tower of Glory, the records of the top 1,000 knights in the entire theater can be seen on the list. The entire list of heroes is divided into black iron knights, earth knights, and phantom knights Three levels, the list of these three levels can already cover more than 99% of the participating knights in the battle zone, as long as it is a confirmed battle achievement, it will be displayed on the list after statistics.

As for the meritorious service at the level of the sky, it is difficult to reflect it in a simple list, because as long as there is a knight of the sky sitting in the base or fortress, it will be a huge deterrent to the demons. Another reason is that The sky knights are all of high status, and all of them are figures sitting at the center, and every move may be related to confidential matters. It is obviously disrespectful to rank a group of sky knights here, and there is a possibility of leaking secrets, so in the Tower of Glory Without it, there would be no ranking list for Sky Knight.

The meritorious points on the list, here, have become the best explanation of personal strength and honor. In addition to the enviable honors, the meritorious points on the list, in Xuanyuan Fortress, have more real and It is an irresistible benefit. These merit points can be exchanged for almost anything you want, such as elemental crystals, wealth, land, and even various advanced cultivation cheats and exercises collected by the Taixia royal family. Redeem points.

The highest level of cultivation skills that can be exchanged for these merit points is the classic of the duke level. People who have already become knights naturally cannot change to another kind of cultivation method to practice, but if they can be exchanged, the knight can designate his own juniors The descendants or disciples receive the empowerment of the duke-level practice classics, and this alone can make countless knights and wealthy families flock to it.

Another point is that this kind of list is almost a preview and ranking for the bloody title of the Heavenly Secret List in the future. As long as their names can be left on the list, most of the knights will become nobles among the human race in the future, Fu Yin Children and grandchildren have the possibility of being named marquises and knights. The people on the list will naturally be the backbone and top figures of Taixia in the future.

Every moment, in the square of the Tower of Glory, there is an endless stream of knights who come here to rank on the list. Naturally, each person on the list has also become the focus of everyone's attention and discussion. hot spot.

Every jihad war, Taixia will set up a list of meritorious heroes in the war zone. This method is simple, direct, brutal, and effective. In the past, it is unavoidable to compete, whether it is for fame, profit, or even for a illusory face and vanity, this list of meritorious heroes can find reasons for you to pay attention to it.

Looking at the knights standing in front of the list in the square outside the window and commenting on the list one by one, Zhang Tie knew that the copycat of the merit list he saw in the crystal battle castle was here...

For such a ranking list, if it was before, Zhang Tie might still be equally enthusiastic, but now, Zhang Tie lacks interest. idea.

Zhang Tie's name only appeared on the list the day before yesterday. Zhang Tie's feat of killing two earth knights and two black iron knights outside Xiangshan City was reported to Xuanyuan Fortress by Xu Baoan, a general of Wuzhou cavalry who participated in the battle at that time. , besides Xu Baoan, there were some other witnesses who saw Zhang Tie kill the demon knight at that time. Their meritorious deeds were conclusive. After the verification in Xuanyuan Fortress, Zhang Tie's name appeared on the list.

In addition to these, if Zhang Tie can take out the heads of other demon knights, his ranking on the list of heroes will be even higher, but Zhang Tie is indifferent.

People's ideas and needs are different in different realms. Some people may be complacent about their ranking on the list, but for Zhang Tie, such a ranking on the list doesn't mean much to him at this time. Don't want to draw too much attention.

It's just that his name appeared on the list, and he slapped Taiyi Xuanmen's face indirectly and severely. Now Feng Yexiao couldn't even find a reason for Wen Qingkong to continue to stand out.

...

Feng Cangwu's words made Zhang Tie look away from the window, and smiled, "Are you surprised?"

"Of course it's an accident. If you leave the war zone, even if the current position seems to be a good position and a high authority, but you have lost the opportunity to make meritorious service in the war zone. In the future, what will you get if you become a knight in the blood of the Tianji list?" Compared with others, you must know that the only qualification for the title of the Heavenly Secret Ranking is the ability to kill demons. No matter how good you are as a passive general, what good is it? Back underground, do you think everyone will remember Zuoqiu Mingyue’s name or your name as General Weiji! Don’t tell me that you don’t want to taste what it’s like to be a knight, and you don’t want to give it to you. Those sons of yours earned a noble title and background..." Feng Cangwu frowned and said.

The two are in the private room of the bar on the 28th floor of the Tower of Glory. The private rooms here are places for the knights to rest, drink and chat. There are special arrangements in the private room, so the knights don't have to worry about being overheard by outsiders when talking here. So Feng Cangwu and Zhang Tie didn't have any scruples when talking.

Feng Cangwu's attitude at this moment moved Zhang Tie's heart, and he suddenly remembered what Lan Yunxi had told him about Taiyi Xuanmen's preparations for this holy war. ", and the master disciples of Tianjimen seem to be thinking about things after the victory of the jihad. Could it be that Taixia's two sects will have completely opposite judgments on the outcome of this jihad.

"Does Tianjimen think that Taixia will still exist after this holy war, and the human race can still win?" Zhang Tie also asked very straightforwardly.

"Did you hear something?" Feng Cangwu also asked Zhang Tie very straightforwardly. With the relationship between the two of them, there is really no need to go around and communicate at this time.

Zhang Tie pondered for a while and said, "I've heard something. It seems that some of Taixia's seven great sects are not too optimistic about the outcome of this jihad!"

Upon hearing Zhang Tie's words, Feng Cangwu sneered disdainfully, "Since the Great Cataclysm, in every jihad, there will be people who think they have seen the future. The doomsday is approaching, but Taixia has survived the fear of these doomsdays again and again. In every holy war, the demons are stronger than the last time, but at the same time, Taixia is also stronger than the last time. Among them, each sect has its own strengths. If you are talking about understanding the secrets of heaven, who can compare with my Tianji sect? There is only one sentence that reveals a trace of secrets - Huazu and Taixia are endlessly alive, as long as there is this sentence, it is enough to give us the confidence to fight to the end!"

"The Huazu and Taixia are endlessly alive, is this the secret obtained by the Tianji Sect?"

"Of course!" Feng Cangwu drank the wine in his wine glass in one gulp, and poured himself another glass, "The elders in Tianji Sect said that the power of the human heart is infinitely mysterious, manpower is limited, and the mind is infinite. If the human heart changes, the heavenly secret will change. If the human heart is alive, the heavenly secret will have vitality. If the human heart is dead, the life will die. As long as the Taixia heart is not dead, the Chinese will not perish. The country must first destroy its history. The future seen by those who lose their hearts is just an illusion of their hearts, just like a blindfolded person who cannot see light but can only see darkness. Bian Shi once said in the Humble Heart Garden that in this holy war, the demons are a hundred times stronger than the last time, and the Chinese will perish. The remnants of the Blood Soul Temple dare to speak falsely about the future of the Chinese. It is ridiculous. If the Blood Soul Temple can Seeing a glimpse of the secrets, why did they bother to perish in the first place, they can't even see their own destiny, they have been reduced to the lackeys of the demon clan, how can they see the fate of the trillions of people in Taiyi..."

"If you perish the Chinese, you must first perish your heart..." Zhang Tie savored these words carefully for a long time, only to feel that the haze that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was swept away in an instant, "Thank you, I understand..."

"What do you understand?"

"I understand what the most important thing is for me to be the General Weiji this time!" Zhang Tie chuckled.

"Didn't Da Sima just like the candle oil you made and your ability to toss the fields? You say you are a knight of the earth, and it's fine to make candle oil, but you are even good at farming. How do you let others live?" Ah, and in that position, what else do you want to do?" Feng Cangwu sighed.

"I want to make something that ordinary people or low-level fighters may be able to kill knights after they master it. At least it can make Taixia's city have the power to resist when facing demon knight-level masters..." Zhang Tie Said very seriously.

"Could it be that you want to use candle oil, but candle oil is too weak against knights, and too much is useless. Do you want to make an alchemy bomb? Do you know how difficult it is to make an alchemy bomb?" Feng Cangwu The alchemy bomb came to mind immediately.

"No!" Zhang Tie shook his head, "But I think there should be other ways besides alchemy bombs..."

Feng Cangwu looked at Zhang Tie in a daze for a while, then laughed wildly, pointing to the square outside, "If you can really make something like this, I will marry that woman as my wife..."

Zhang Tie looked in the direction Feng Cangwu pointed, and saw a hulking, more powerful "female knight" with her hips akimbo, standing majestically in front of the black iron knight's meritorious list, grinning. Zhang has a big mouth like a sea mouth painted with bright lipstick, is covered with jewels, and wears a big red flower on his head. Looking at the names on the merit list, he smiles like a rotten pear.

Beside this woman, there were several master guards who looked like knights. When the surrounding knights saw this "female knight", they all stepped aside one by one, especially where the female knight was looking. They all turned into quails, hiding their faces and running away one by one.

"I hate it, why do these people always use this method to attract people's attention, and they don't even come up with something new, people don't come anymore..." The female knight hid her feet, twitched, and said out of her mouth Zhang Tie couldn't hear what he said, but from the shape of his mouth, the knight who had learned the lip-reading technique could "hear" what the female knight was saying. Seeing the appearance of the female knight, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that he had just drunk The wine in his stomach started churning, this feeling was more uncomfortable than seeing a bearded hunk walking with his orchid fingers up and his butt twisting.

"Who is this woman?" Zhang Tie quickly turned his head and asked Feng Cangwu.

"The princess of Jingtianwang's mansion is the only jewel in the palm of King Jingtian. It's strange to say that King Jingtian has dozens of sons, but there is only one daughter, so she loves her very much. This time, the princess of Jingtianwang's mansion is in the war zone. For those who want to choose a son-in-law from the list, King Jingtian has already announced that there will be at least ten first-class big cities in the future for his precious daughter as a dowry..."

"Okay, I remember it!" Zhang Tie nodded vigorously, and looked at Feng Cangwu with malicious eyes, "If this girl is not married in the future, I would like to see if I can do it for you." A matchmaker, a high-ranking apprentice from the Tianji Sect, with a handsome appearance and a talent, the princess must also like it!"

Feng Cangwu's face changed, "Wait, you're not serious!"

"Of course I'm serious!"

"How could you have such a crazy idea?"

Zhang Tie sighed, "A few days ago, I ate Gujing tofu in Xiangshan City. This idea appeared in my mind, and it became stronger and stronger. I couldn't shake it off..."

"After eating Gujing tofu in Xiangshan City, you want ordinary people and cities to have the power to kill demon knights?" Feng Cangwu seemed to want to see a flower on Zhang Tie's face.

"Yes, isn't it a bit crazy!" Zhang Tie smiled and asked in a relaxed tone deliberately, "You don't want to go back on your word, do you? If you want to go back on it now, there's still time, so I'll just pretend I didn't hear it!"

"With a word from the knight, four horses are hard to chase!" Feng Cangwu hesitated for half a second, then raised his head proudly, "If you really have the ability to make this thing, why should I be afraid of serving a tiger with my body! "

"By the way..." Zhang Tie suddenly remembered something, and asked casually, "What do you mean by General Weiji? Why did the general in charge of logistics in the Taixia War Zone get such a strange name?"

Feng Cangwu took a serious look at Zhang Tie, and then said something meaningful to Zhang Tie's ears, "You should read more books..."

Zhang Tie is dumb... 〖To be continued〗
