In the evening, an airship appeared in the sky above the People's Square of Black Flame City. The airship appeared very suddenly, as if it appeared out of thin air. It appeared before most people in Black Flame City could react.
Where is it?
For most ordinary citizens of Black Flame City, airships are a rare thing. Therefore, when sharp-eyed citizens in the Citizen Square of Black Flame City discovered that an airship suddenly appeared above the Citizen Square, many people near the Citizen Square
The resting people all raised their heads one by one and looked at the airship more than 200 meters above the sky.
It was an airship that no one had ever seen before. The flat, streamlined airship had two stable ailerons spread out like a bird. The entire body of the airship shone with silver. Seen from below, it looked like
Like a silver, flying fish floating in the sky.
Because it is not high above the ground, the propellers of several thrusters installed on the tail and two ailerons of the airship can even be seen clearly from below.
All in all, this is a beautiful and domineering airship, and one can tell at a glance that it is definitely a high-end airship.
The arrival of the airship made several photographers who were doing business in the citizen's square very happy. These photographers chose angles in the square, set up camera equipment, and shouted loudly to let the citizens of Black Flame City not to
I missed the opportunity to take photos in front of such a beautiful airship. Many citizens came up to take photos.
The airship suspended in the Civic Square has been sitting there quietly, motionless, not knowing what it is doing. Many citizens of Black Flame City speculate that the airship above comes from the Norman Empire, and there may be some important person sitting on the airship.
indefinite.
This peaceful atmosphere in the Civic Square lasted for more than ten minutes. More than ten minutes later, a large number of heavily armed Norman soldiers and armored vehicles rushed to the square as if they were facing an enemy. A Norman Emperor with a serious face
The police officer ordered the soldiers to evacuate the crowd in the square. Only then did all the citizens of Heiyan City who gathered in the square sense that the atmosphere was wrong and hurriedly dispersed.
The officers of the 39th Division Ground Air Defense Battalion who hurriedly arrived below looked at the airship in the sky, and there was already a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads. The speed of this airship was too fast, and it was right here in Black Flame City.
When the air defense force of the airship just discovered that the airship was flying towards Black Flame City, and the airship did not have any regulations on the Imperial aerostat, and the style and model of the airship itself did not belong to any airship currently in service or produced by the Empire, Black Flame
Yancheng's air defense force has issued an air defense warning to the ground.
Amid such a warning, the power main boiler of the anti-aircraft weapons on the walls of Black Flame City, which has been in standby mode, has been turned on. The well-trained soldiers of the Thirty-ninth Division have completed the increase of the main boiler as quickly as possible.
During this process, the soldiers of the 39th Division performed impeccably, but the speed of the airship was too fast. It was so fast that everyone was caught off guard, and the anti-aircraft weapons over there were not ready yet.
Get ready, this airship has already rushed into the first-level airspace within the walls of Black Flame City.
If this airship had not flown from the direction of the empire, and if the officers of the air defense battalion were not 100% certain that the Sun God Dynasty had never equipped or produced this type of airship, the Black Flame City at this time would have sounded the alarm long ago.
Air raid alert.
But even so, the officers of the air defense battalion were sweating coldly.
"Reporting to the commander, the light signaling equipment and vehicles of the air defense battalion are in place!"
"Use clear signals to contact the people on the airship and ask them about their identities and their purpose of coming to Black Flame City!" the officer in charge of the command at the scene ordered.
…
On the ground in the square, a special air communication vehicle was already in place. On top of that vehicle was a set of special optical communication equipment. The soldiers who received the order quickly tore off the cover of the equipment on the vehicle, and then
Following the command of the on-site commander, two sets of light signals with the same message were sent out to the airship.
There was a response from the airship soon, and a light signaling device under the airship also began to flash downwards.
Seeing that the airship could communicate with the airship below, the officers of the air defense battalion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Just a few minutes later, Colonel Leibniz, who received the news, rushed to the Civic Square in a vehicle. Colonel Leibniz did not find anything unreasonable in the request of the people on the airship to talk to him directly.
, because whether it is in the Norman Empire or elsewhere, the people who can ride on this kind of airship are undoubtedly important people with status and background. At least, Colonel Leibniz himself is not qualified to have such an airship.
Air transportation.
Colonel Leibniz, who came to the scene, looked at the beautiful airship in the sky, and became more and more certain in his heart. At least none of the airships of the generals of the entire Iron Horn Army was as majestic and beautiful as the one in front of him.
In the northern frontier of the Norman Empire, perhaps only the private airship ordered by Marshal Lin Changjiang from the East could rival the airship in front of him.
Old Colonel Bunitz wondered, in a small and remote place like Black Flame City, would there be any big shots interested in visiting?
After receiving the news that the supreme commander of Black Flame City had arrived, the people on the airship began to disembark.
Yes, come down, directly from an altitude of several hundred meters.
When the soldiers and officers of the Norman Empire's air defense battalion on the ground saw black dots jumping out of the airship neatly, everyone opened their mouths in surprise. The black dots jumping out of the airship were people.
Those people jumped directly from the airship like dumplings at an extremely fast speed, quickly passed through hundreds of meters of altitude between the ground and the airship, and reached a distance of less than 50 meters from the ground in the blink of an eye.
Just when everyone on the ground thought that all the lunatics who jumped out from above were going to be smashed into pieces on the ground of the square, all those who looked up at those people jumping down only felt that the sky was darkening, and those who jumped directly from the sky
The hands of all the madmen who jumped down suddenly seemed to open up a continuously rotating spiral rotor. The sudden rotation of the rotor made those who jumped from the sky suddenly slow down, and then, as soon as the rotor was released,
Come on, those people hit the ground in the Black Flame City Civic Square like meteorites falling from the sky.
With a "boom", the soldiers standing around the square felt the ground beneath their feet tremble momentarily. In an instant, countless stone bricks on the square ground shattered like spider webs.
In just an instant, in the citizen square of Black Flame City, a group of Chinese warriors with black hair and black eyes, all in armor, stood upright like javelins. Each one of them had a chilling aura about them.
Seeing these people falling to the ground instantly from a height of several hundred meters, everyone including Colonel Leibniz swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They were powerful, very powerful, not ordinary powerful. This is what these people gave thirty
The feelings of the soldiers of the Ninth Division.
The officer of the air defense battalion looked a little pale as he looked at these terrifying Chinese soldiers who came from the sky to the ground in an instant. He recognized what these people were holding just now. It was a rotor parachute that could be folded and carried on the body.
The most elite Royal Airborne Corps in the Norman Empire uses this kind of rotor-type parachute that is more advanced than ordinary parachutes. This is not surprising. What really made the air defense battalion officer turn pale was that he discovered
, the airborne time of these warriors who jumped from the airship was actually much shorter than the airborne time of the powerful soldiers of the Empire's most elite Royal Airborne Corps who jumped from the same height. It was almost only the airborne time of the Empire's Royal Airborne Corps.
half.
What does this mean? It means that if you are defending here at the moment. After all the anti-air weapons below are turned on, it is possible that the tactical actions of locking and targeting these people have not been completed. These people have already fallen to the ground. Thirty
The air defense battalion of the Ninth Division is just a display in front of these people. Next, the soldiers under his command may face a one-sided massacre by these people.
Who are these people? It is impossible for the Norman Empire to have such elite troops! The officer of the air defense battalion had a question in his mind.
Not only the officers of the air defense battalion, but also all the surrounding soldiers and officers of the Thirty-ninth Division had such doubts. Everyone was stunned by the way these people appeared. As the saying goes, "As soon as an expert reaches out, he will know there is someone."
"No" is what it means.
If the appearance of these powerful warriors who had just jumped from the airship shocked everyone, then the scene everyone saw next was even more so that people could make their eyes pop out.
Just after these powerful Chinese warriors landed and stood up, another person jumped out of the airship. This person's speed was even faster. It was like an arrow shot down from the airship, almost in the blink of an eye.
From an altitude of several hundred meters to the ground, those powerful warriors needed to use rotor-type parachutes to complete instantaneous deceleration in the air when they came down. But when this person came down, he didn't need any equipment at all. He started very quickly.
Like a shooting star, when it was about to reach the ground, it suddenly stopped in the air, and then it was like a feather, without any smoke and smoke, just so light and fluttery, just like the next step, one foot landed gently
There was not even a speck of dust on the ground.
Many soldiers and officers of the Norman Empire were rubbing their eyes desperately, almost unable to believe what they were seeing. Among them, only a few officers, including Colonel Leibniz, had their hearts broken.
After jumping wildly, the incredible ability shown by the last person to come down, only they understood what it meant - a knight, a real knight, this is above the level of a fifteenth-level warrior, reaching
Extraordinary abilities that can only be demonstrated by people with the rank of knight.
In this era, these people who have reached the rank of knight are the real backbone for the human race to survive on this continent.
In the Norman Empire, what does a knight mean? There is no doubt that it is a legion. All legions in the Norman Empire are fighting groups formed with knights as the core. Any knight in the Norman Empire has a role to play.
The qualifications of a legion commander. The legion commander of the Iron Horn Legion is a knight, a famous knight in the Norman Empire, the Black Iron Knight Clausewitz. The Iron Horn Legion is an army formed around Lord Clausewitz.
Among all the countries and forces in the Blackson Human Corridor, the number of knights it possesses is the most intuitive and important criterion for measuring a country's strength.
Therefore, there is no doubt that in terms of identity, the person who finally got off the airship may be almost the same as Lord Clausewitz, the commander of the Iron Horn Legion, no matter which country he is in. For such a person, Colonel Leibniz
Of course I don't dare to show any slightness.
Seeing the person who finally got off the airship look at him like lightning, Colonel Leibniz puffed up his chest, tried his best to maintain a more dignified posture, walked in front of the person, and took the initiative to salute a military salute
.
"I am Colonel Leibniz, the top officer of Black Flame City. Your airship has entered the first-level airspace of Black Flame City. I wonder what your purpose is in coming to Black Flame City?"
Because the other party was Chinese, Colonel Leibniz spoke Chinese at this time. In the Norman Empire, Chinese was a language that all upper-class people must master, and it was the standard language of all upper-class cocktail parties and salons in the empire. Chinese and Chinese were
As a representative of nobility and status, if Zhang Tie were here at this time, listening to Colonel Leibniz speak such fluent Chinese, I don't know how surprised he would be.
Hearing what Colonel Leibniz said, the old man who finally got off the airship just nodded indifferently, then waved his hand. A soldier next to him stepped forward and handed a document to Colonel Leibniz.
in the hand.
As soon as he saw the blood dragon pattern symbolizing the empire on the document, Colonel Leibniz was shocked. He carefully and respectfully took the document and read it. The document was issued by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Department.
A special communication certificate and an action memorandum jointly issued for all airspace within the empire's territory. According to this authorization and this memorandum, the above airship from Jinyun Kingdom can legally enter the first-level airspace of any city in the empire.
No matter what they did, the people on the airship are free to leave. In the end, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Military Department personnel will naturally be responsible for negotiating with them. And if necessary, the local officials and garrison troops of the Empire who see this document are also obliged to
To assist and cooperate with the holder of this document in carrying out certain actions.
Naturally, Colonel Leibniz could tell the authenticity of this document at a glance, but the content of the document made Colonel Leibniz confused - a big shot with the rank of knight from Jinyun Kingdom came with
Why would such a document come to Black Flame City? Is there anything here that is worthy of such a person traveling all the way?
…
The airship hovering over the Civic Square of Black Flame City is naturally a very dazzling existence. Not only the people in the Civic Square can see it, but actually everyone in the entire Black Flame City can see the airship as long as they raise their heads.
A huge, shining silver airship.
Zhang Tie's father had been promoted to a manager in the factory workshop. Zhang Tie's father, who was walking on the road after work, looked up when he saw the people around him pointing at the sky in the distance. He also saw the airship.
When they arrived at the airship, Zhang Tie's father was stunned, his lips trembled slightly, and then he returned home with a pale face.
Zhang Tie's home is still the same home. At this time, because Zhang Tie's sister-in-law has to take care of her growing belly, the Zhang family's rice wine shop has not been open for a long time, and Zhang Tie's mother has been closed for a long time.
At home at home, he spends almost half of his time wandering around his daughter-in-law. In the kitchen of Zhang Tie's home, all kinds of tempting ingredients and the aroma of soup are wafting all day long.
, which made passers-by salivate. The father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Zhang family were all very satisfied with this.
Zhang Tie's father returned home and found that Zhang Tie's mother was still making soup in the kitchen, but her face was no longer as lively and energetic as before. When Zhang Tie's mother saw Zhang Tie's father,
, biting his lip and stopped talking.
"Stop talking, I saw it when I just came back. It's Zhang's Huaiyuantang's Silver Wind-class airship..."
"Could it be because of something else?" Zhang Tie's mother said hopefully.
"The airship has the mark of the Huaiyuantang Zongren Pavilion on it. What I saw is unmistakable!" Zhang Tie's father smiled bitterly, "This time it must be the elders of the Zongren Pavilion who are here, in addition to our
Things, even if there is a huge matter in Black Flame City, the elders of the Zongren Pavilion will not come in person!"
"We have been here for decades, how could they find us?"
"I'm just an unknown person in Huaiyuantang. I faked my death to escape. Over the past few decades, I've been safe and sound. The body that faked my death was turned into ashes and was only found recently. I guess it's the ancestor in Guoguo's body.
The bloodline awakened, and something went wrong, and people came to the door..." At this point, Zhang Tie's father laughed, "I never thought that I, Zhang Pingyuan, would marry a good wife and give birth to a son in my busy life.
I can also awaken the bloodline of my ancestors. God is really helping me..."
Zhang Tie's mother reached out and held Zhang Tie's father's hand. Tears were already filling her eyes. Zhang Tie's father patted Zhang Tie's mother's hand comfortingly. "Don't worry, it's okay. I
Just pretending to die and eloping is not a big mistake. It means that you will have to suffer for a few years if you go back. The world has become more and more uneven in recent years. Maybe this
Returning to the clan for the first time, it is a good thing to have Huaiyuantang to take care of you!"
"I was the one who harmed you. You could have..." Zhang Tie's mother burst into tears...
"Stop talking, a man can't even call himself a man if he doesn't have the courage to elope with the woman he loves. What does a little family fortune mean?" The masculinity of Zhang Tie's father at this moment is so impressive.
Puzzle.
…
At dinner, Zhang Tie's eldest brother Zhang Yang, who had been busy outside these days, returned home. Zhang Tie's father pulled him into the house. Ten minutes later, Zhang Yang came out of the house with a look of shock on his face.
, he looked at his mother and then at his father, feeling as if he had seen a fairy tale. In the past few decades, the living fairy tale of love has been by his side. In that fairy tale, there are all
It’s firewood, rice, oil and salt…
During the period after dinner, the atmosphere in the Zhang family's home was always shrouded in uneasiness. After almost an hour, it was completely dark. Originally, there were still dogs barking on the street outside after dark. But they were barking.
Then, for some reason, the dogs on the whole street became quiet. Only the heavy and neat footsteps of a row of Kakaka sounded quietly outside the street.
When they heard the sound of footsteps and stopped outside their home, Zhang Tie's father and mother, as well as Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie's sisters-in-law, all held their breath.
The door of Zhang's house opened automatically without any wind, and then, a vigorous figure with hands behind his back slowly walked in from the outside.
Zhang Tie's father was shocked when he saw that figure. He quickly pulled Zhang Tie's mother to bow down at home. Seeing his parents kneeling down, Zhang Tie's eldest brother also quickly pulled his mother.
My sister-in-law knelt down.
"Zhang Ping, an unworthy descendant of the Huaiyuan Hall of the Zhang family, brought his wife and daughter-in-law to pay homage to his sixth uncle..."
The person who came in was the last person to jump off the airship. The person had a cold face and said nothing. After glancing at the few people kneeling on the ground, one person went to the rice wine shop opened by Zhang's family with his hands behind his back.
I walked around the store, then went to the kitchen, and finally came to the main hall. I saw several incense tablets of the surname Zhang neatly enshrined on the main incense table in the main hall, and my face was slightly relieved.
A little bit.
The old man snorted coldly in his nostrils, glanced at the kneeling people, and pointed at Zhang Tie's sister-in-law, "You entered my Zhang family, and now you are pregnant with Liujia. Since you have Zhang's blood in your belly, it will hurt the fetal movement."
If you're angry, you don't have to kneel down, just get up!"
"Zhang Ping, do you know your guilt?" The old man's voice suddenly became cold and serious...
…
At this time, when night fell in Black Flame City and the group of people who got off the airship arrived at Zhang Tie's home, everyone in Brape was making final preparations for tomorrow's Oktoberfest and Madness Day.
The entire village of Chevli has a strong festive atmosphere everywhere.
As a girl from Chevri Village participating in the float parade tomorrow, Hannah spent almost the whole day with the girls in the village, decorating the float, preparing new clothes, doing her hair, and of course, returning home in the evening to dress herself up.
The beer brewed for this festival is put into barrels and will be sold in Brape tomorrow. For the unmarried girls in Brape, the woman who brews the best beer during the trip tomorrow will be
Opportunity to win the honor of "Beer Queen". This honor, for a Brape girl, is the highest praise and recognition. Its meaning to a Brape woman is probably equivalent to that of an ordinary Iron Horn Legion.
The soldier suddenly became like a legionnaire.
There was a "Beer Queen" in Chevri Village before, but that was more than 30 years ago. Even so, this matter is still talked about by the people of Chevri Village every year and is regarded as something special.
Wing - where is the village of Chevri? It is the place where the Queen of Brape Beer was born! And this honor is not given every year, only those who can brew truly delicious beer that everyone can agree with.
Only women have the opportunity to aspire for this honor. In the four years before this year, no one had ever won the crown of Brappey Beer Queen.
Although Hannah also has the same ambition as every Brape girl to "become queen" on Oktoberfest, Hannah knows that the possibility of realizing this ambition is almost slim. She learned all the skills of brewing beer from her.
Although the sister-in-law and mother are not too bad, in Chevri Village, they can only be at the average level. It is really difficult to perform this skill that every woman knows in Brape.
Even Hannah's family didn't think Hannah could get this ultimate honor.
No matter what, it’s Oktoberfest, as long as it’s fun.
This idea of Hannah's family did not start to change until everyone helped Hannah fill the beer from the beer fermentation tank into wooden barrels at night...
After opening the lid of the fermentation tank, Old Harry was the first to smell the special aroma of the beer in the fermentation tank that was completely different from before. As soon as he smelled this smell, Old Harry screamed...
