Castle of Black Iron Chapter 1280 Human Heroes

With the effect of lotus flower eyes, Zhang Tie could see through everything around him. Even though the airboat and the air battlefortress were covered with thick metal, Zhang Tie could still see clearly the scene outside the airboat and the battlefortress when he walked into the lobby of the advanced base.

So many airships covered the sky…

Those corps of Taixia Country landed from the air and entered the woods…

Those battlefortresses and multi-floored defense fortifications on the ground…

On the ground, east-west railways and highways had been crowed by vehicles.

Those vehicles which were moving towards the east were civilian vehicles. Even the tops of the trains were covered with people and items. Those advancing towards the west were basically military vehicles, which were filled with ordnances and military armored vehicles. 

At this moment, those which could arrive at Peacewest Military Region through ground traffic tools were all corps within the territory of Peacewest Military Region or corps from neighboring provinces. It was unrealistic for the farther local corps such as that within Northeast Military Region to arrive here timely as the expense of transporting a corps from hundreds of thousands of miles away to Peacewest Military Region by ground traffic tools would be too high to bear; additionally, it would be in a low efficiency.

In this critical situation, only the top 4 armies of Taixia Country were able to accomplish the employment in the theater of operations at the fastest speed.

What Zhang Tie saw reminded him of the Selnes Theater of Operations.

However, he was not in the Selnes Theater of Operations, but in Peacewest Military Region of Taixia Country. This theater of operations covered many provinces.

The so-called air battlefortress in the advanced base was nothing different than the air battlefortress that Zhang Tie had ever seen in the Earth-elements Realm essentially. This air battlefortress was just a bit larger. 

Although over 10,000 knights from the Northeast Military Region gathered here, the lobby still felt very spacious. 

Although so many knights were at present, the lobby was pretty quiet. 

The lobby of the advanced base was more like a square. Near the 200 m high dome above the square, there was a huge round plate. Thousands of people in military uniforms of Taixia Country were busy working on the round plate. It seemed to be a command and information center of the advanced base.

Zhang Tie saw Ye Qingcheng once again.

Soon after Ye Qingcheng appeared in the sky, he had waved his hand. At the same time, a triangular, colorful crystal being covered with runes became outstanding from the center of the round plate as it projected the model of a huge three-dimensional sand table in the lobby.

A heavy black fog was invading it from the west of the three-dimensional sand table like a virus. The fog gradually covered the region of Yezhou Province in the west of the sand table as it was still extending towards the surroundings…

“7 days ago, Yezhou Province in the westernmost part of Taixia Country has been completely collapsed. Cheng Minggong the Yezhou provincial governor and Cheji General Liu Wusheng of Yezhou province fought to death. Yezhou City collapsed. However, there are still over 400 million Hua people in Yezhou Province. One week before Yezhou’s collapsed as a whole, all the communications between the barren province outside Yezhou Province and Taixia Country had been cut off…” Ye Qingcheng said calmly. However, everyone’s heart pounded after hearing his words. During the process of their flight, Taixia Country had lost one barren province and one lower province. The striking power and speed of demons shocked everybody at present. 

What made everyone’s heart pound was the death of Yezhou provincial governor and Cheji General of Yezhou Province. They were the first senior officials of Taixia Country who fought to death since the beginning of this holy war. 

Yezhou Province was established 10 more years earlier than Youzhou Province. After these years’ development, the military legal system of Yezhou Province had been completed. Yezhou Army was under the control of Cheji General. Compared to Yezhou Province, Youzhou Province had not completed its military legal system yet. Youzhou Province didn’t even have a Cheji General yet.

“Before Yezhou City collapsed, Chen Minggong the Yezhou provincial governor sent his last words to Peacewest Military Region and Xuanyuan Hill——Countless wing demons covered the sky like dark clouds in an overwhelming manner. They have thousands of wing demon knights and over 100 earth knights. It’s hard to keep Yezhou Province; however, although Yezhou Province could be collapsed, Taixia Country wouldn’t be collapsed; although my home could be exterminated, the country wouldn’t be exterminated. I Chen Mingong would like to safeguard Yezhou City with all the male adults of my clan and swear to protect Yezhou City until the death. Chen Clansmen will spray their blood even die for Xuanyuan Hill. However, demons are utterly different than before. Among the vanguards of wing demons alone, there are already thousands of knights who could easily exterminate one province. The vanguard of demons must be closely followed by the main forces of demons. After Yezhou City was broken through, demons would definitely spread over Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province. The entire Peacewest Military Territory would definitely be deteriorated in a short period. We couldn’t resist the vanguards of demons for the time being. Remember to not put only a few knights and corps of Taixia Country into the battlefield in case of regrets. Chen Minggong is proposing my sincere suggestion for the consideration of commander and the lords in Xuanyuan Hill. You should make plans ahead. Kill demons; kill demon; kill demons…”

When he talked about “Kill demons”, Ye Qingcheng suddenly raised his voice like a sword that went out of the sheath. In a split second, the sky collapsed, the clouds rolled away, revealing a surging, magnificent qi of a heavenly knight…

“Yezhou Province has been collapsed. The vanguard of demons has already passed by Yezhou Province and entered Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province. Yesterday, the knights of Black Armor Army has already fought wing demons in the border between Huanzhou Province and Wuzhou Province. The vanguard of wing demons might have entered Huanzhou Province partially. Peacewest Military Region will receive the news of collapsing cities every day. Today, Windpeace City in Wuzhou Province, Whitedeer City in Zhuzhou Province and Heavenlywater City in Yinzhou Province are being slaughtered by demons. Numerous loyal and dauntless people are serving the country at the risk of their lives…”

Hearing the words of Ye Qingcheng, everyone could see that the heavy black region was flooding over cities one after another while some black sparkling spots like rats had entered Huanzhou Province.

Watching the black tide on the sand table and recalling what happened in Waii Subcontinent, Zhang Tie silently clenched his fists. Many knights panted abruptly in the lobby.

“Marshal, we’re waiting for your command…” A knight suddenly roared as he strode out one step and continued, “To fight demons until death, we’re elites of Taixia Country and Hua heroes!”

“Marshal, we’re waiting for your command…” More people roared in unison…
