Volume Four, Volume 36, Chapter 17, the end of the war
On July 9, 903 in the Black Iron Calendar, more than two months after the last knight formations of the two sides collided, the two battle forts of the human race and the demon race suspended in the core area of Tiewei Mountain almost coincidentally appeared on both sides.
Under the protection of two large formations composed of thousands of knights, they began to slowly evacuate...
When the two large formations began to evacuate, Zhang Tie's incarnation of Golas was knocked unconscious in a deep trench that was dug into pieces on the ground more than a hundred kilometers away from the demon battle fortress.
He picked up a war spirit-level spider demon, and then threw the spider demon into the Black Iron Castle like a trophy. ▲∴
As soon as the Demon Clan's Battle Fortress moved, Zhang Tie flew up from the abandoned mine trenches left behind who knew how many years ago, and landed on a hill. He raised his head and looked at the Demon Clan's floating battle fort.
At this distance, even though there was hundreds of kilometers between them and thick black fog in the middle, Zhang Tie's eyes flashed with lotus-shaped halos, and every move of the Demon Clan's battle fortress still caught his eye.
The demon battle fortress floating in the air is like a honeycomb-shaped malignant tumor with countless entrances and exits. It carries a chilling aura and is slowly retreating under the protection of the demon knights' formation.
Is this first large-scale knightly battle since the Holy War finally over?
In the past half month, as the number of collisions between the two earth-level knights and above in the core area has become less and less, the frequency of the human race's combat auxiliary teams on the ground has also become less and less. Zhang Tie is guessing that the underground here is being
The discovered Diyuan crystal mineral resources are estimated to have been almost mined, and both sides are making preparations to retreat.
Sure enough, today, both sides began to leave the battlefield almost at the same time.
As the battle forts of both sides slowly evacuated, a few scattered war energy wolf smoke and war energy tornadoes in the center of the core area also broke out of contact. As the battle forts and formations of our own side slowly
Evacuate slowly...
Before coming here, Zhang Tie thought that he might be able to get some earth element crystals at the place where the demons were mining. But after coming here, Zhang Tie realized that this idea was a bit taken for granted. In this state, no matter whether it was the demons,
Whether it is the human race, there is more than one phantom knight guarding the mining of earth crystal minerals in the underground mines. Both sides are preparing for the attack and destruction by the other phantom knight or even the masters of the sky knight level. In this state, an earth knight
It was too unrealistic to do something in the defensive area deployed against Phantom Knight and Sky Knight, with limited benefits and unlimited risks, so Zhang Tie gave up.
However, although he did not harvest many earth element crystals, for Zhang Tie, his gains on this battlefield were also very huge.
Watching the battle forts of both sides leave, Zhang Tie still felt a touch of regret in his heart.
If this battle continues for another two months, his gains will be even greater.
A strange figure appeared in the dark mist dozens of kilometers away. It was as fast as lightning and flew towards Changtie in a strange route, as if searching for something. Zhang Tie turned his head, eyes
The brilliance flashed, and then the whole body flashed. He fell into the mine ditch again. After a few seconds, the small black beetle flew out and flew directly towards the direction of the human battle fortress...
A few minutes later, the strange figure finally came to where Zhang Tie was just now.
It was an armored demon, a phantom knight of the demon clan. As soon as it flew in, the pressure it carried caused the large black fog around it to roll away.
There was a little blood stain on the ground in the mine ditch. The blood stain was still very fresh. It was left by the spider demon who had just been knocked unconscious by Zhang Tie.
The demon's phantom knight squatted in front of the blood stains, twirled his hands, and a light flashed in his eyes. After exploring the surrounding environment, a soul-chasing spirit butterfly was hatched by him as quickly as possible...
…
The soul-chasing butterfly is like a donkey pulling a mill, but it always circles around here and never flies anywhere else.
Two minutes later, the demon's phantom knight roared, and the soul-chasing butterfly that could only spin in circles was shattered into pieces. The demon's phantom knight looked at the terrain here unwillingly and angrily, then glanced in the direction of the human battle fortress, and directly
Turn around and fly towards the direction of the demon battle fortress...
In the Diyuan Realm, the first contest between Zhang Tie and the demon phantom knight ended here...
…
On the high tower of the human battle fort, Dugu Yi's body was as tall and tall as an isolated mountain peak. He silently looked in the direction of the demon battle fort. There seemed to be flames beating in his eyes...
"In this battle, a total of 2,147 of our knights were sacrificed, including 2,019 black iron knights, 128 earth knights, and two phantom knights injured, resulting in a battle reduction of 18%. Among the sacrificed knights, one from Taixia
Chinese knights accounted for 73%, foreign knights from other continents accounted for 27%, and 31 knights, including two earth knights, completely disappeared after the battle. Their lives and deaths were unknown.
On the rear battlefield of the fort, the final statistics of our sacrificed and missing secondary garrison knights of Lion Fortress have not yet been calculated, but it is estimated that there are about 400 people, and more than 20,000 auxiliary combatants and logistics personnel died and disappeared..."
A low voice reported in a low voice behind the Demon-Suppressing General. When talking about the number of casualties of those knights, the low voice also became heavier.
And listening to the numbers in this voice, the beating flames in Dugu Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot. This knight battle in the Yuan Realm was the most intense collision since the beginning of the Third Holy War. There were nearly 1,500 knights.
The best Chinese knights died in battle. Looking at the world, no country other than the Chinese can afford such a loss. At the same time, this battle is also the Chinese people's effort to resist the devil since the end of the Second Holy War.
The biggest sacrifice the clan has ever made. But such a battle must be fought and fought. If we do not fight or fight, the demon clan will become stronger. Therefore, we can only fight and fight. There is no other way...
And this is just the beginning. In certain stages in the future, large-scale knight battles will continue to occur, and more knights will die on the battlefield for the survival of the human race.
The numbers of casualties made the tower silent for a full minute...
"How are the demons doing?" the demon-suppressing general spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.
"The demons suffered greater losses than us. Among the confirmed results, in the collision of the knight formation on the frontal battlefield led by you, sir, we killed a total of 2541 demon knights, among which the demons
The number of earth knights is probably more than 157, and some are missing and cannot be confirmed. Behind the battlefield, the demons' losses are probably equal to our losses. By the way, the demons also lost a very rare and precious knight.
Among the earth-level shadow demon knights, among the ground troops, the number of warriors below the knights lost by the demons is about 30,000..." The reporting voice said here, paused, and then took a deep breath.
, "Sir, we... have tried our best, everyone has tried their best!"
Yes, everyone has tried their best. With so many knights sacrificed, who hasn’t tried their best?
Duguyi sighed in his heart.
The demon-suppressing general closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes again. The beating flames in his eyes had gone out, and an absolutely cold and calm look appeared in his eyes again.
"Send the list of sacrificial knights and the list of sacrificed warriors at all levels to the Grand Sima Mansion of Taixia, so that the Grand Sima Mansion can properly arrange and handle the sacrifice-related funeral affairs in accordance with the regulations of sacrificial knights and warriors in the Holy War!"
"yes!"
"Return to the Lion Fortress!"
The Demon-Suppressing General said the last words. After saying these words, the Demon-Suppressing General took one last look at the direction in which the Demon Battle Fort left, and then got off the tower...
…
On July 12, the three floating battle forts returned to the Lion Fortress. The dead were gone, but the living, those who could come back after this war, whether they were knights or ordinary combat auxiliary personnel, were all caught up in the war.
In the carnival and indulgence that followed, the streets of the Lion Fortress, starting from July 13, were filled with warriors drinking and reveling. The special taste of water melon wine fermented in the air of the entire Lion Fortress...
According to the official propaganda of the Lion Fortress and the entire human race, this battle was a great victory for the human race, and the knights who participated in the battle successfully completed the set strategic mission.
In the battle of Tiewei Mountain, the human knights not only successfully snatched nearly half of the Earth Crystal Mines in the core area of Tiewei Mountain from the Demons, but also obtained more than two million high-quality Earth Crystals, destroying the Demons' monopoly on this treasure.
Important strategic resource plan, even in the fiercest battle of the subsequent knight battle, the human knights successfully killed more than 3,000 demon knights at the cost of more than 2,000 knights, and even executed it on the ground
The soldiers on the combat auxiliary mission also killed more than 50,000 demon warriors...
The real numbers on the battlefield are only known to a few people at the highest level in the entire Lion Fortress. In order to boost morale, the propaganda department of the Lion Fortress, and even the Mountain of Light, intentionally exaggerated some of the results of the battle, and put the Iron Fortress
The battle around the mountain was publicized as a great victory for the human race in the Earth Yuan Realm, and the strongest first collision between the strongest military groups of the human race and the demon race in the third holy war. In this collision, the human race
Not only was he not at a disadvantage, he also had an advantage.
Such propaganda is extremely inspiring and can strengthen the morale of the human race to resist the demons. It is a huge encouragement to the entire holy war battlefield in the Earth Yuan Realm and various subcontinents and continents on the surface, even if there are no knights in the Lion Fortress and the Earth Yuan Realm.
As long as you have the Knight Crystal Card, you can learn the information about the battle at Tiewei Mountain from behind the huge title on the home page of the Mountain of Light.
The battlefield of propaganda and public opinion is also the most important part of the battlefield of jihad. The importance of the battlefield of propaganda and public opinion, not to mention now, has long been known to the decision-makers and generals of the human race before the catastrophe.
To a certain extent, all wars, fought to the end, compete with the will, determination, and morale of both sides. The side whose will to fight collapses first, and the side whose fighting morale is sluggish, will collapse one after another on the battlefield.
And then...
In the midst of the carnival throughout the Lion Fortress, on July 14, Zhang Tie, who had left the Lion Fortress for nearly three years, returned to the Lion Fortress again... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated.
