Chapter 1014: Re-encountering Comrades-in-Arms
Translator: WQLEditor: Aleem
After over 3 years, the Lion Fortress remained unchanged. If not the three floating battle fortresses which seemed to carry the bloody qi of battle, perhaps nobody could find that many human knights in the Lion Fortress had just experienced a large-scale battle with demon knights.
Zhang Tie recovered Cui Li's look and entered the Lion Fortress smoothly and frankly.
Although those at the gate the Lion Fortress were still Hua knights, they looked strange. None of them were familiar with Zhang Tie. Given their solemn young looks and uniforms, Zhang Tie knew that they had just come to the Earth-elements Realm.
Those who had just come to the Earth-elements Realm acted like newbies in troops as they would do everything strictly according to the regulations.
Over 3 years, especially after experiencing many combats and killing about a half dozen of earth demon knights, Zhang Tie unconsciously felt like a distant and experienced veteran.
”That one looks like an earth knight.”
”Ahh, he's too young...”
”He might be a powerhouse from the top seven clans in Taixia Country!”
”This man has a sharp killing qi which couldn't be formed without rich battle experience. Perhaps, he has just come back from Tiewei Mountain...”
”Ahh, black iron knight, impossible!”
Zhang Tie swiped his identity card on the machine at the gate of Lion Fortress before entering it.
Zhang Tie entered the Lion Fortress with the black iron identity card that he used to access the knight's tower previously. At the sight of Zhang Tie's identity card, those knights at the gate were not sure whether Zhang Tie was a black iron knight or an earth knight.
...
The entire fortress was filled with the special odor of watermelon liquor.
On the streets of the Lion Fortress, Zhang Tie saw many drunk knights and auxiliary fighters lying on the roadsides.
Zhang Tie didn't ridicule these people because he knew what those people who survived back from the battlefield were thinking about. After being extremely depressed and intense, they had to release their pressure by carnival and liquor.
The watermelon liquor didn't have a high degree; however, when Zhang Tie arrived at the Lion Fortress for the first time, he had known that some knights made a set of simple distillation equipment, making the degree of watermelon liquor close to that of alcohol, which would taste cool for many knights.
In the Lion Fortress, watermelon liquor being brewed with grains was also an important resource, which was forbidden being ”squandered”. Except for this situation, after the large-scale battle, the odor of watermelon liquor filling the Lion Fortress indicated that the regulations in Lion Fortress were very human-friendly.
Besides the sharp difference in overall strength, most of the knights would also feel happy, angry, sad or joyous like commoners.
The entire Lion Fortress was in a carnival.
Some people were kissing while some burst out into laughter after being drunk...
At this moment, pleasure and sadness were as dense as the black mist in the first abyss. Even Zhang Tie was a bit affected by the ecstatic atmosphere across the Lion Fortress.
Although Zhang Tie didn't know about the concrete casualties of both parties after this large-scale battle, he understood that the casualties of knights on both parties were definitely large after such a fierce collision between the top forces of humans and demons after fighting as a guerrilla in the battlefield for such a long time. Each party must have suffered a great loss. As the large-scale battle had just come to an end, both parties needed to make a conclusion and recover their forces. Therefore, humans and demons would recover their statement state in the Earth-elements Realm and the first abyss; a large-scale battle would not break out in a couple of years. Both parties would transfer their main battlefield to the earth's surface.
Therefore, Zhang Tie was ready for returning to the earth's surface.
However, before returning to the earth's surface, he needed to return to the Lion Fortress to submit his military exploits.
The moment he thought about returning to the earth's surface, Zhang Tie remembered the news that he heard from demons on the battlefield a few months ago——Emperor Xuanyuan was missing!
