Chapter 3 Key Box
There are 100,000 people from the giant bear tribe in the ice field who went south this time. They are all elite saber-toothed beast cavalry in the tribe, which is roughly equivalent to the number of an elite regiment. Except for the bear-level tribe, most tribes and forces are not capable of resisting such an edge.
There were more than 20 generals who were qualified to enter the camp, including Aujin who Zhang Tie met in the past two days and went to the ruins to pick him up.
Aojin is a ten thousand commander, commanding an armed force that guards the temple of the giant bear tribe in the ice field on the holy mountain of Erqida. The name of that armed force is called "Storm Bear Battalion". He is a warrior above level six who has mastered the berserk skill. In the entire ice and snow wasteland, except for the giant icefield bear tribe, there is no other tribe that can cobble together a battalion of violent bears that is also composed of ten thousand people.
The soldiers of the Ten Thousand Bear Battalion are the main force of the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe who went underground this time to welcome Zhang Tie's return. They were also fortunate to witness Zhang Tie's last miraculous manifestation underground. Ji De is also from the Bear Camp. Although both of them are tenth-level fighters, they are only banner leaders and are not qualified to participate in such meetings.
The military system of each tribe in the Ice and Snow Wasteland is different from the ones Zhang Tie has come into contact with. The smallest army establishment in a tribe is five people. For one team, two teams of 100 people set up a centurion commander, 500 people form a banner, two banners have 1,000 people, set up a thousand commander, 3,000 people form a front, 10,000 people form a battalion, and three battalions form a team. One regiment, one hundred thousand people are one army.
Taken together, they are corporal commanders, special commanders, captains, centurion commanders, banner commanders, and thousand commanders. Front commander, battalion commander (ten thousand husband commander), regimental commander, army commander, as for the army-level organization composed of hundreds of thousands of people, it has never appeared in the ice and snow wasteland, because it is really necessary to command so many people. Only the head of the tribe is eligible.
This division of the military system is closely related to the ranks of the tribes in the Ice and Snow Wasteland. Among the six tribe rank division standards of Rat, Eagle, Wolf, Leopard, Fox, and Bear, the most important point is what a tribe can produce. The number of the regular army, like the regular army of the Gray Eagle Tribe, is probably about a thousand people. The status of this kind of tribal patriarch on the ice and snow wasteland, that is, jumping up one step on the basis of the commander in chief, is about the same as that of the front leader. This is also the status of Aurora on the ice and snow wasteland. Of course, such a premise must be It was Aurora who could completely control the Gray Eagle Tribe in her own hands.
The Ice and Snow Wasteland is also a strictly hierarchical place, although it is not as perverted as the Norman Empire. But the barriers of rank can also be seen everywhere.
At this moment, the first batch of people who are qualified to enter the tent are all generals above ten thousand commanders in the giant bear tribe of the ice field, and their personal strength level is at least above that of warriors or great masters. Such a group of people poured in Come on, that powerful aura made Zhang Tie feel some pressure, especially the few generals walking in the front. Although the aura on them is not as strong as the knights Zhang Tie has experienced, it can also give people a strong sense of oppression. If Zhang Tie himself has a strength far beyond that of a seventh-level fighter,
His own mental power is extremely powerful, and it was another ordinary seventh-level fighter who was naturally oppressed by so many people's gaze and aura. Whether you can sit still is a problem.
Zhang Tie was sitting upright on the wide animal skin chair, holding his knees with both hands, his eyes swept over the faces of these generals one by one.
Because these generals had heard before that Zhang Tie had some other ideas about returning to the giant bear tribe in the ice field, and they needed to discuss in detail with the two elders of the tribe and the high priest Shalin. At this moment, after these generals entered the account, they found that Zhang Tie was already sitting on the position representing the ruler of the tribe. Everyone thought that Zhang Tie had recognized his new identity, and expressions of ecstasy and excitement appeared on every face. expression.
After entering the camp, the generals raised their right hands in unison, flattened them, and slammed them on the armor on their left chest to salute Zhang Tie.
"Meet the patriarch!" More than 20 people said in a rough voice. The voice not only echoed in the tent, but also spread far outside the tent. Afterwards, Zhang Tie found the huge soldiers outside the tent. Cheers began to come one after another, like a landslide and tsunami. Obviously, after hearing the sound, the soldiers outside the tent knew Zhang Tie's position and choice, and began to cheer.
Looking at the undisguised expressions of excitement and joy on the faces of these generals, and hearing the louder and louder cheers outside the tent because of the simple sentence "Meet the patriarch!", Zhang Tie knew that this It is absolutely impossible to be an illusion or trap created by the high priest Shalin for himself, but it comes from the recognition of the prophecy by these generals and soldiers, that is, their recognition of themselves.
Under such circumstances, if someone wanted to help himself onto the stage to play tricks of coercing the emperor to make the princes, he would definitely only shoot himself in the foot.
"The patriarch called you in because there is a military order to be issued!" Thors stood up and said expressionlessly.
As soon as Thors finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the more than twenty generals who entered the camp became serious. Everyone puffed up their chests and looked at Zhang Tie with sparkling eyes.
Zhang Tie's gaze swept across the face of High Priest Shalin, who remained calm.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Tie's mind, and finally, all the thoughts gathered and settled in Zhang Tie's mind, becoming a clear decision that Zhang Tie uttered in a cold and calm voice. Tie didn't explain why, but just gave the order.
"Send troops to Eskil City tomorrow!"
Zhang Tie looked at the generals standing in front of him. Hearing this order, some of the generals were surprised, some were confused, and some seemed to be excited, their eyes shone and their bodies trembled with excitement. Zhang Tie himself knew that this decision was a bit absurd. Zhang Tie could understand the surprise and confusion of some of them, but Zhang Tie couldn't understand it when he was excited.
Zhang Tieyuan thought that some generals would come out and ask him why, or that the high priest Shalin would come out and ask him why, but no, no one jumped out. He left the tent without saying a word.
In the camp, there were only Zhang Tie and the three old men left again, and Zhang Tie noticed when he said the order that seemed to be a joke. Except for High Priest Shalin, the expressions on the faces of the other two old men stiffened.
Less than half a minute after the generals walked out of the tent, Zhang Tie heard a long and thick horn sounding outside the tent. It stopped abruptly and gradually became quiet.
"That's the Sleeping Number, because we're going to go on an expedition tomorrow. So now we must quiet down the warriors in the tribe, take a quick rest, and gather energy so that we can prepare for tomorrow's expedition!" High Priest Shalin explained.
"Aren't you worried about me messing around?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile, his appearance was enough to give a good-tempered person a heart attack.
"I've said it before. The entire ice field giant bear tribe is yours, and you have the right to mess around!"
Zhang Tie laughed loudly, "At this point, if you still have any hole cards, you should quickly show them. If you want to repent, there is still time. The longer you delay, the higher the cost of repenting!"
"There is indeed one more thing for you. Gulas, go and get that thing from the great prophet and high priest Erqida!"
...
Two minutes later, a two-foot-sized metal box with a strange shape and a dull bronze luster was placed in front of Zhang Tie. It was a box that looked very old. He solemnly carried it to the table in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie took a look and found that it was a strange key box, just at the opening of the box. There are seven metal gears, and there are numbers from zero to ninety on each metal gear. To Zhang Tie's surprise, the ten numbers on the gears of the box are not ordinary Arabic numerals, but very authentic and unique. Standardized Chinese fonts.
The three gears on the far left represent the year of the black iron calendar, and the two gears in the middle represent the month. The last two cogs are the days.
"what is this?"
"When the great prophet and high priest Erqida left the prophecy, he also left this box. This box is reserved for the person in his prophecy. Only that person can open this box. The password to open the box It's that person's birthday!"
"You mean, this box was left to me by your prophet high priest Erqida hundreds of years ago?" Zhang Tie asked in disbelief. Zhang Tie's feeling at the moment was similar to that of his fanatical believers. It was the same feeling as when he performed the miracle, completely unbelievable.
"Yes, the design of this key box is very special. From the beginning to the end, it can only accept three opening commands at most. If you enter the wrong password three times, the mechanism inside the metal box will lock the box together with the inside. For this reason, the high priests of the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe did not dare to try to open this box, and this box has never been touched!" High Priest Shalin said solemnly.
"what is inside?"
"do not know!"
Hearing such an answer, Zhang Tie secretly thought, this would not be the escape route these three old fellows found for him. When meeting disobedient fellows like himself, as long as he fails to open the box three times in a row, they will There is a reason to declare that they are not the one in the prophecy, and then they can kick themselves out, and then they also have a step down. Or, in fact, any date can open this box, but there may be some things in it that are not good for my current status...
Such a method is really too childish...
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face. He pulled the box over, moved the seven gears casually, first entered a date different from his own birthday, and then tried to open the box. The metal handle was pressed, and there was a click, but the box did not move, and the seven gears spun rapidly, and returned to the state where they all returned to zero.
Zhang Tie turned the seven gears again, and entered a wrong date. With a click, the box did not move, and the seven gears returned to zero again.
At this time, Zhang Tie was stunned when he saw the expression on the face of High Priest Shalin, and the expressions of Gulas and Thors became tense.
Zhang Tie shrugged indifferently, and smiled rascally, "Hehe, don't be nervous, I entered those two dates wrong on purpose just now, I just want to see if the wrong date can open this box, have you lied to me?" It's just me!"
Hearing this understatement, Gulas and Thors couldn't help glaring at Zhang Tie, except that the high priest Shalin didn't say anything.
It was just that the moment the two looked at Zhang Tie angrily, Zhang Tie felt as if there were two more mountains on his body. The strong momentum and pressure almost made him kneel down.
Knight, damn it, Zhang Tie cursed in his heart. Although the aura and pressure on these two people are not as terrifying as that of the elder Huaiyuantang, their strength is beyond doubt. The tremendous pressure of resistance was exactly the same as the pressure Zhang Tie felt at the beginning.
Zhang Tie did not expect that these two old fellows actually possessed the strength of knights. Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and insisted, sweat dripped down his forehead...
"One more time, it only needs to be correct once!" High Priest Shalin's voice sounded, and the two mountains on Zhang Tie disappeared at once.
Zhang Tie swallowed, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even without mind-reading skills, Zhang Tie knew that Gulas and Thors looked at him at this time. The thought in the old guy's mind at this moment - how could such a rascal and bastard manifest miracles underground, how could he be the king of the giant bear tribe in the ice field?
Under the repressed angry eyes of Gulas and Thors, Zhang Tie entered the date on the seven gears for the third time. This time, Zhang Tie entered his own birthday—8730326—— March 26, 873 in the Black Iron Calendar——
Entering this day, Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and pressed the metal handle...
This time, the seven metal gears did not spin again.
Amidst a rustling and pleasant sound of friction between machinery and metal, the metal key box opened like a quietly blooming flower...
The angry gazes in the eyes of the two elders, Gulas and Thors, disappeared. They looked at the metal box slowly opening layer by layer like flower petals with complicated expressions, and after bowing to Zhang Tiegong, the two people Both High Priest Sharin and Sharin exited the tent before the box was fully opened.
The things in the box were left by the great prophet and high priest Erqida to the person who could open him. According to the instructions of the prophet and high priest, only the person who opened it can see the contents inside.
In the camp, Zhang Tie was stunned when he saw the contents of the box... motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
