I haven't come back for more than three years, and the Lion Fortress is still the same. If it weren't for the three floating battle fortresses still floating in the sky above the fortress, who returned from the battlefield and seemed to carry the atmosphere of bloody battles, perhaps people wouldn't feel that there was anything inside the fortress at all.
Many knights had just experienced a big battle.
Zhang Tie transformed into Cui Li again and walked into the Lion Fortress calmly without any hindrance.
The Chinese knights guarding the entrance to the fortress were still Chinese knights, but they were already unfamiliar faces. No one Zhang Tie knew. From the meticulous clothes and serious expressions of those young knights, Zhang Tie knew that this
They are a few knights who have just come to the earth and yuan world for a round of battle.
The knights who have just arrived to serve in the Earth Yuan Realm will have the aura of newcomers to the Earth Yuan Realm, and they will do everything in a precise manner. 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 demons and earth knights, Zhang Tie's body has unknowingly acquired an aura that only veterans of the Earth Yuan Realm can have.
, indifferent, and cold.
"That person just now seemed to be the Earth Knight?"
"Ah, too young..."
"Perhaps he is a master from the seven major sects!"
"This man has the murderous aura that has gone through a great war. Perhaps he just came back from Tiewei Mountain..."
"Ah, Black Iron Knight, did I see it wrong?"
Zhang Tie, amidst the subtle exchanges and awed eyes of several young knights, swiped his identity card on the machine at the city gate, and then entered the Lion Fortress.
Zhang Tie's Lion Fortress identity card still retains the one he used to enter and exit the Knight Tower, and has not been replaced, but that identity card is of the Black Iron Knight level. The knights guarding the gate saw Zhang Tie's identity card
, I was a little unsure for a moment whether Zhang Tie was the Black Iron Knight or the Earth Knight.
…
The entire fortress was filled with the unique smell of melon wine.
Just on the street, Zhang Tie could see many knights and auxiliary combatants who were drunk and sleeping on the street.
Zhang Tie did not laugh at these people because he knew what it was like for people who came back alive from the battlefield. After being extremely depressed and nervous, only carnival and strong alcohol can release the pressure.
The concentration of melon wine is not high, but when Zhang Tie came to the Lion Fortress for the first time, he knew that some knights even built a set of simple distillation equipment, which could make the concentration of water melon wine close to alcohol. For many knights,
To me, this is enough flavor.
In the Lion Fortress, watermelon wine brewed from grain is also an important resource. The fortress prohibits "purification and squandering" of this resource. However, at this time, after the war, the smell of watermelon wine floating in the fortress
, but let Zhang Tie know that the so-called regulations of the Lion Fortress will behave very humanely at this time.
In addition to the difference in strength, most knights are actually similar to ordinary people. They have the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.
There was a carnival atmosphere throughout the fortress.
Some people hugged and kissed on the street, while others cried bitterly after getting drunk...
At this moment, joy and sadness were as rich as the black mist of the first abyss, intertwined and permeated the entire Lion Fortress in the release of carnival, making Zhang Tie feel a little infected.
Although Zhang Tie, who had just returned from the Tiewei Mountain battlefield, did not know the specific statistics of the casualties of both sides after this battle, he also understood clearly after having been guerrillas on the battlefield for such a long time. This battle, both for humans and demons,
It is said that this is a big collision between the two sides' top military forces after the start of this Holy War. The number of casualties among the knights on both sides is definitely a lot, and both sides have suffered a lot of losses. This kind of war has just ended, and both sides need time to summarize and conclude.
Review and lick the wounds after the war, so in the short term, the Earth Yuan Realm and the First Abyss will return to a relatively peaceful confrontation. It is estimated that large-scale knight battles will not be fought in the next few years, and both sides will continue
Compete on the ground battlefield.
Zhang Tie is ready to return to the ground.
But before returning, he had to go back to the Lion Fortress to "finish things".
When he thinks of returning to the ground, for some reason, Zhang Tie will think of the news he heard from the demons on the battlefield a few months ago that Emperor Xuanyuan has disappeared!
Zhang Tie wanted to go to the Tower of Glory first.
Cui Li had been away from the black-armored battle fort for several months. If he had no achievements at all, it would be unreasonable. So Zhang Tie had not yet prepared a record for Cui Li. The horns of a minotaur earth knight and the hardest chest of a black iron knight.
That piece of scale armor, these two things can be used as proof of Cui Li's military exploits.
In the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie still has the horns and kill certificates of several demon earth knights, but taking out those things will only push Cui Li to the forefront. It would be bad to go too far, and it would not be good for Cui Li.
Li Li said that after killing the Shadow Demon Earth Knight of the Demon Clan, he was able to kill another Demon Clan Earth Knight and Black Iron Knight. Such feats can already be respected by many Earth Knights in the Lion Fortress, and also
To establish Cui Li's status as a master of earth knights among the human race, everything is just right, and too much is not enough.
Zhang Tie had just turned a street corner and suddenly saw two acquaintances in the distance.
Bram and Cecilia were kissing passionately by 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 almost a hundred meters away from the two of them. There were many knights in the Lion Fortress, and the two of them did not pay attention to a big man who turned around the corner in the distance.
At this moment, Bram no longer had an arm on his body, so when he and Cecilia were kissing passionately, he could only hold Cecilia's waist with one hand.
Their lips parted, and Bram knelt down on one knee in front of the female knight Cecilia. He held Cecilia's hand with one hand, raised his head, and looked at the person in front of him affectionately.
Muscular female knight, "Marry me. Although I only have one hand, as long as I live, no matter what time, even in the end, I will use this hand to protect you. Unless I die in front of you, there will be no one else."
can hurt you."
Cecilia looked at the man in front of her who was usually taciturn but was willing to risk his life to protect herself at critical moments. Tears poured down her face. She said nothing and just nodded.
There were several drinkers on the roadside. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but cheer.
For men and women, sudden wealth may cause couples who have been together for many years to divorce, but experiencing life and death together may make two people who are not holding hands decide to hold hands and walk together.
Felton staggered out of the roadside tavern with a bottle of wine, pointing at Brahm with a satisfied smile on his face, "You... you guy... I've seen this before... before.
Yes, you have liked Cecilia for a long time, right..."
Bram, who usually didn't talk much, just smiled innocently. Cecilia glanced at him, but tightly held his only hand.
Felton beat his chest and said, "You have plucked the flower of knighthood in the French Empire. How do you let us knights from the Western Continent live?"
"There is a secret medicine in the Lion Fortress. As long as we serve here for a few more years and accumulate enough merit points, we will definitely be able to cure your injuries!" Cecilia looked at Bram and said crisply.
, as a female knight, Cecilia is a very decisive person.
Bram was about to say something, but his eyes widened suddenly because he saw a bald man with a sincere smile on his face walking towards the three of them.
"Cui Li..." Bram shouted.
Felton and Cecilia turned their heads together and saw Zhang Tie.
"Ah, it's really Cui Li..." Cecilia was also surprised.
Felton, who seemed a little drunk just now, saw Zhang Tie and rushed towards Zhang Tie like lightning.
"Hahahaha..." Zhang Tie laughed and gave Felton a manly bear hug, "Felton, long time no see!"
Felton was very excited and beat Zhang Tie's chest and shoulders hard, almost incoherently, "We just returned to the Lion Fortress and heard the news that you are still alive. Good guy, they all said that you killed a
The Shadow Demon, the most difficult demon clan, is also an Earth Knight. You have won the most dazzling reward in the Tiewei Mountain War Zone... It is unbelievable. Have you advanced to the Earth Knight?"
"Yes, I was lucky enough to survive in the ruins of the temple, and I was promoted to the Knight of the Earth!" Zhang Tie also patted Felton on the shoulder, and at the same time opened his arms again, and spoke to Bra, who only had one left hand.
Tom gave a bear hug, then separated, glanced at Brahm's lost right arm, and frowned slightly, "Brahm, what happened to your right hand?"
"During the collision of the Tiewei Mountain battle formation, we fell away from the human knight formation. At the critical moment, in order to save Cecilia, Bram's right arm was instantly attacked by the demon formation.
Dissolved..." Felton, who was a bit chatty, rushed to tell the reason, "But Brahm also made a profit. This guy lost a right arm, but he picked off all the flowers of knighthood in the French Empire.
Already..."
After hearing Felton's words, Zhang Tie knew that it turned out that during the last knight formation collision, when he was plotting against the demon knights, among the fallen human knights, there were several people he knew from Felton.
, the three people are still alive now. There is really no second explanation except that they were lucky. However, although Brahm survived, he still paid the price.
"I'm glad to see you. You coming back alive is the best news we heard when we returned to the Lion Fortress!"
Compared with Felton and Brahm, the meeting between Cecilia and Zhang Tie was more subtle... (To be continued...)
