When the light of the seven-colored clouds and mist inside the Black Iron Castle gradually dimmed and the entire Black Iron Castle turned into night, Zhang Tiecai left the Black Iron Castle and appeared in the pine forest on a hillside outside the city of Merna.
middle.
As usual, the first one to come out to look out was his beetle incarnation.
The weather outside the city of Merna today is very good. Two moons are hanging in the sky, plus a full head of stars. The sky is cloudless. The ground outside the city of Merna is like a layer of silver.
Even without the help of other light, people can see very far on such a night.
On the hills, there was the chirping of insects and the sound of pine waves blowing through the pine forest in the breeze. The whole world was silent.
Zhang Tie felt it was too quiet for a moment.
The city of Merna in the distance seemed to be completely asleep, without any lights.
Zhang Tie felt a little strange. Even if the Timothy family and the demons wanted to prevent him from raiding Merna City again, Merna City would not remain silent + no + error + novel + 3w.++ like this.
Zhang Tie flapped his wings and followed a few fireflies, flying away like the city of Murna.
The little black beetle was very fast, and it only took five minutes to reach the distance from the pine forest outside the city to the city wall.
The gates of Merna City were wide open, and there was no one on the wall. Seeing this scene, Zhang Tie instinctively felt a strange atmosphere.
He increased his speed and flew into the city.
On the wide streets of the city of Merna, there were only a few wild dogs and cats wandering around, whimpering in low voices. Even the wild dogs might not be used to such a scene.
The small black beetle began to fly high. It quickly flew around the city of Merna at an altitude of more than 200 meters.
At first, Zhang Tie thought it was a trap by the demons or another trap. In the past two years, he had experienced various traps and traps, but after going around, he found that this was not a trap.
Instead of traps, the entire city of Merna, at this time, had completely turned into an empty city.
The people in the city disappeared. The city seemed to be completely abandoned.
What's going on? A huge question appeared in Zhang Tie's mind. Zhang Tie didn't waste any time. The little black beetle flew to a hidden place. Zhang Tie transformed into an incarnation, and the thunder falcon suddenly rose into the sky and headed towards Li Mo.
Fly to the nearest city, Erna City.
I don't know why, but looking at this empty city scene, a huge feeling of uneasiness appeared in Zhang Tie's heart. Accompanying that feeling of uneasiness was a huge unknown sadness rising in Zhang Tie's heart.
Zhang Tie was flying like lightning in the air, and it took him less than half an hour to fly to Sersi City, the city closest to the Golan Empire and Merna City.
The Thunder Falcon hovered over the city of Sersi, its sharp eyes scanning everything on the ground.
Like the city of Merna, the entire city of Sersi also became empty, the city gates were wide open, and there was not a single person in the entire city.
There were no traces of massacre, no destruction caused by riots. It was as if the entire city had suddenly evaporated.
Of course, these people would not evaporate out of thin air for no reason. Zhang Tie thought of a possibility, but that possibility was too sad for the people in these two cities, so Zhang Tie subconsciously avoided this possibility.
No, no, it should be for other reasons...
Zhang Tie reminded himself over and over again in his heart, and rushed into the sky again, flying towards the south.
Within a few hours, in the area occupied by the demons, one after another human cities appeared in front of Zhang Tie and then disappeared behind him - Milwao, St. Paul, Goffa, Duluth, Williston.
,conjiken...
These cities, like the city of Merna, have completely turned into empty cities, with not a single person in the entire city.
Zhang Tie's heart became completely cold, and the brief warm comfort he had just experienced in the Black Iron Castle had been deeply shattered.
The increasing number of empty cities is making the possibility that Zhang Tie fears most become a reality.
Zhang Tie continued to fly south. A few hours later, he passed through the entire Golan Empire and the Kingdom of Bassus in the south of the Golan Empire, and arrived at the Dikaro Plain in the north of the Verov Federation.
In the starlight that filled the sky, Zhang Tie saw the dense and endless figures walking south on the Di Carlo Plain. Those figures were no longer human beings, but walking corpses.
The entire Decaro Plain is filled with the walking dead. Wherever these people pass, the grass roots, tree bark, and animals of all sizes on the plain, from rhinoceros and wild elephants to rats and cockroaches, have become the property of these people.
food.
The boundless demonized puppets swept across the entire Di Carlo Plain like locusts. Wherever they passed, there was no grass and no living creature. Looking from a high altitude, the densely packed and boundless demonized puppets seemed to be surging in the dirty place.
Maggots in a dirty cesspool.
The eyes of the demonized puppets glowed with bloody red light, and they ate everything they could touch as they walked. Some of the demonized puppets wore simple armor and other armors, and held weapons such as swords.
And some demonized puppets only hold a kitchen knife or a dung fork in their hands...
There are almost more than 20 million densely packed demonized puppets on the entire Decaro Plain, and all the demonized puppets are heading in only one direction—south!
The Thunder Falcon disappeared, and Zhang Tie's figure appeared above the 10,000-meter-high sky. He lowered his head and looked at the endless demonized puppets at his feet. His eyes were splitting, and two lines of blood and tears came out of his eyes.
To Zhang Tie, the walking corpses under his feet were not demonized puppets, but ordinary humans killed by the demons.
At this moment, Zhang Tie understood that there was no longer a single living person in the entire demon-occupied area. Before this, even those who were barely surviving in the demon-occupied area and under the rule of the Three-Eyed Society had a population of nearly two people.
billion people.
This is the most cruel aspect of jihad.
Ten thousand meters high in the sky, Zhang Tie's blood and tears fell with the wind. He looked up to the sky and screamed, and then the whole person disappeared into the sky.
…
Two hours later, in a secluded place outside Williams Lake, a small town in the southern part of the Weirov Federation, a direct member of the Arthur family was trembling under Zhang Tie's hands, his eyes rolled up, as if he wanted to take a look at Zhang Tie.
Those withered claws pinching his head...
In less than half a minute, Zhang Tie knew everything that had happened in the past few days from this man's head.
Zhang Tie's hand shook with fighting spirit. The man didn't even make a sound, and all the bones in his body turned into powder. Zhang Tie casually threw the man into the abyss of chaos, and the whole man disappeared again...
…
The Principality of Titanic...the Plains of Cernes...the Republic of Saipan...the northern part of the Norman Empire...
The endless demonized puppets are rushing towards the Kale Mountains. In the entire Blackson Human Corridor, there is no longer any force that can stop this torrent of destruction...
Zhang Tie's tears had dried up, and in his heart, there was only the overwhelming anger and the deep-seated hatred suppressed in his heart.
Demon Commander...Three Eyes Club...
Zhang Tie carved these two names on his bones...
…
In the evening of June 19, after two and a half years, Zhang Tie returned to the Huaiyuan County Hurricane Corps' station without a trace.
The small black beetle wormed its way into the underground palace from the hidden air hole in the rockery in the legion commander's cabin. Zhang Tie also dispersed the incarnation of Golas and returned to his original appearance.
The underground palace is still the same as before. In the past two years, no one has broken in or disturbed him. The emergency device in the underground palace to wake him up has not been activated...
Zhang Tie walked around the underground palace and threw some of the living supplies stored in the underground palace into the Black Iron Castle, making it look like he had spent two years in the underground palace.
Then, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and stood for a while in the underground palace to calm down the emotions that had been turbulent until now. Finally, he began to sit cross-legged on the ground and entered the elemental world to practice.
Zhang Tie knew that the real test was coming.
In future wars, every time you increase your strength, you will have more possibilities to kill the enemy, and you will have more hope of surviving.
There has never been a moment when Zhang Tie longed to be strong so much.
In the elemental realm...
Shortly after Zhang Tie entered meditation, the first big hand transformed by mental power appeared in the elemental world, and began to capture those yellow multi-faceted crystals of earth elements...
Soon, the second spiritual hand appeared...
Then the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one, the sixth one, the seventh one...
There are a total of seven spiritual hands in the elemental world. Each of the seven spiritual hands is extremely flexible, as if it is completely controlled by a knight. The seven spiritual hands sometimes work,
Sometimes they work together to capture the polyhedral crystals of earth elements and throw them into Zhang Tie's running chakra. After crushing them, his second earth veins are released.
The complex geometric patterns on the wheel slowly become more substantial.
At this moment, Zhang Tie's training speed was already more than seven times that of an ordinary knight.
…
During this kind of practice, it was almost impossible to feel the passage of time, and he didn't know how long it had passed. Zhang Tie felt a loud bell ringing in his ears, and he opened his eyes.
The emergency wake-up device in the underground palace has been activated by the outside world at this time. In addition to the bell ringing in the underground palace, at this moment, red fluorite lamps have been stretched out from the tops of the rooms in the underground palace.
, those fluorite lamps were also flashing, rendering the entire underground palace a shocking red, and waves of remote sensing communications were also coming from the Legion Commander Tiger Talisman on his body.
The bell in the underground palace rang once again, and the melodious and clear bell echoed throughout the underground palace.
Zhang Tie looked up at the time in the underground palace. At seven o'clock in the morning on June 21, he got up, straightened his clothes, walked to the door of the underground palace with a calm face, and opened the door of the underground palace. After two and a half years of "retreat"
