Volume 40 Chapter 22 The Beginning of Confusion
The time to get together with his family at home always flies quickly, especially after the New Year, the time is unconscious, and in late January, Zhang Tie stayed at home for almost a month unconsciously.
In this month, in addition to being with his family, Zhang Tie was also paying attention to the situation on the other side of the ice and snow wasteland.
For the Holy Light Empire, it is obviously not a good idea to go on an expedition to a place like the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and let the fleet go out in winter, because in winter, the two ports where the Holy Light Empire Expeditionary Fleet is ready to dock for supplies along the way have been frozen, which will cause great difficulties for the supply of the expeditionary fleet, the Ice and Snow Wasteland is in the northernmost part of the edge of the Weiyi subcontinent, close to a vast uninhabited ice field, under the northwest wind that prevails in winter, the sea is rough, and the speed of the fleet against the wind will slow down, Not to mention, there is also the possibility of encountering icebergs drifting down from the north, if it is night, as long as one is not careful, the iceberg in the middle of a drifting sea may be severely damaged or directly sink a warship.
The merchant ships and merchants of the Holy Iceland Kingdom to and from the Western Continent closely watched the movements of the Holy Light Empire, and after a large amount of gold coins were spilled, the intelligence network of the Holy Iceland Kingdom in the Western Continent was running at a high speed, and almost every day there was information about the Holy Light Empire's expeditionary fleet gathered in St. Petersburg.
Based on all the information, High Priest Shalin judged that the Holy Light Empire's expeditionary fleet would be dispatched in mid-February or early March of this year, and no later than late March at the latest.
In this way, Zhang Tie was relieved, after completing the Earth Knight's Wheel Ceremony, he still had enough time to deal with this crisis in the Ice and Snow Wasteland.
Zhang Tie is now thinking about it. It's not a matter of whether he can win the Light Empire's expeditionary fleet, what he's thinking about is. How to beat the Holy Light Empire at once, and make it scared. The fight made the Holy Light Empire's gods dare not fight the idea of the Holy Iceland Kingdom anymore, and the mention of the Holy Iceland Kingdom will make those Shepherd Gods feel a headache.
If this matter is not resolved this time, with the national strength of the Holy Light Empire, even if one wave is repelled this time, there will be a second and third wave later, and there will be endless troubles in the future.
Gulas and Dali had returned safely to the Ice and Snow Wasteland a few years ago, and the two of them came to Taixia this time, but they did not find the allies and backers they wanted. The main reason is that the vision of the wealthy families in Taixia is too picky, and they will not invest in a barren land like the Ice and Snow Wasteland at all, and they want to make an alliance with a small country in that place, if it is not for the occasion of the Wanbao Conference, Gulas and Dali will not let the wealthy families of Taixia look at them, and the source of madness that the two people brought to Taixia has sold some, but it is not much, for many buyers. The so-called source of madness in the Ice and Snow Wasteland is actually just a relatively good madness potion, at most, this potion has a relatively long effect time and can be used for life. However, activating the power of this potion is also not a simple matter, and not every warrior can activate it, and low-level warriors may need the source of madness. But after the advanced knights, such things don't make much sense - in places like the Wanbao Convention. Anything that doesn't have much value to a knight is hard to shine with.
Gulas and Dalí did not bring back the strong allies that the Holy Iceland Kingdom needed. But they brought back news of the Xuanyuan Hill and the Taixia riots.
Taixia's position as the Great Si Nong was infiltrated by the lackeys of the Three-Eyed Society (for people from other continents and subcontinents outside of Taixia, all the Terran forces that have taken refuge in the Demon Race can be called the Three-Eyed Society, the so-called Tongtian Sect, in the eyes of people from other continents, it is just another name for the power of the Three-Eyed Society in Taixia, although the names are different, but both sides do the same thing) The lackeys infiltrated, and bloody disasters broke out in various parts of Taixia, which caused a huge shock in the Holy Iceland Kingdom, Not to mention in the Western Continent and other subcontinents. Even the High Priest of Shalin was very worried and asked Zhang Tie about Taixia's current situation through the remote sensing crystal.
For the people of other continents and subcontinents, the incomparably powerful Taixia is a complex existence in the hearts of these people, and the prosperity and strength of Taixia will make people in other continents and subcontinents envious, yearning, and even jealous and hateful, but it is undeniable that Taixia and the Hua are the mainstay of the dispute between the human race and the demon race and the hope of the human race.
From the beginning of the change of Xuanyuan Hill Wangri, the people who really felt the fear for the first time were not the Chinese people of Taixia, but the upper-class people of various continents and subcontinents outside of Taixia. These people know very well that if the civil strife in Taixia collapses, then, in this holy war, they will never be lucky, this holy war is like a terrifying storm, Taixia is the largest Terran warship in this storm, if the largest Terran warship is going to capsize and be silent, then, the other small sampans will definitely be beaten by the huge waves in this terrifying storm There is no scum left - without Taixia to resist the demons, the darkest days of the entire human race will come.
What about Taixia?
This question is really a little difficult for Zhang Tie to answer, and he doesn't know how to explain the situation in front of him to Elder Sha Lin.
His personal situation is very good, it is simply too good to be good, he has advanced to the earth knight, cleared the charge of grievances, the whole person is famous all over the world, and the power of the Zhang family is also thriving, in addition to the full potion, there will soon be high-energy alcohol that brings great changes in the candle dragon collar to be produced, and he has returned home, with his family, enjoying the blessings of Qi people every day, the joy of family, his foundation in Taixia is becoming more and more solid, more and more friends, like Taixia's Guangnan Palace, Tianjimen and other forces have been related to him, And the mastermind behind the framing of him has been personally killed by him, and he has made a lot of money, swallowing the party is now taking care of himself, and he is fighting to the death of the Tongtian Sect, it can be said that since the advanced knight, Zhang Tie's situation has never been so good, and he has never had such a comfortable life, it can be said that Zhang Tie has now officially entered a new peak in his life.
Zhang Tie ushered in a new peak of his life, but the cold air of the third holy war invaded the entire Taixia in just a few months.
Because of the arrival of winter, the pace of suppressing the rebellion of the blood people in the Taixia states, especially in the northern region, has temporarily slowed down, and the blood people who are ravaging the Taixia states are becoming more and more dispersed, and the scope of the blood people's activities, activity areas and the damage caused are also increasing.
In December, the bloody rebellion in Taixia only affected sixty or seventy states, and in January, the entire Taixia, except for a few barren states and Xuanyuan Hill, there were traces of bloody people in all states, and the bloody rebellion was spreading to the whole country of Taixia, only before January 1, 904 of the Black Iron Calendar, the bloody plague broke out for less than two months, which had caused more than 370 million casualties to Taixia, and the number of casualties was still expanding every day. The total number of bloody people in the Taixia states is initially estimated to be more than 10 million, and these 10 million bloody people, after more than a month of encirclement and suppression, although they are decreasing, the remaining and surviving bloody people are also creating killing and panic in various parts of Taixia every minute.
In such chaos, even Youzhou is not immune.
On January 3rd, just as Zhang Tie was immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year at home, several groups of bloody people from Tongzhou had already entered the Yangui Mountain Range, and they may have infiltrated the territory of Youzhou.
The blood people who entered the Yangui Mountain Range disappeared without a trace after the blood washed the two small mountain villages in the Yangui Mountain Range, and the hunters who lived in the mountains found the abnormality of the two small mountain villages when they were visiting relatives, so they hurriedly came out to report.
Several groups of unknown blood may have passed through the Yangui Mountains and entered Youzhou, and all parts of Youzhou were nervous, especially the garrisons of several cities near the Yangui Mountains were mobilized, and Zhang Tie's Candle Dragon Territory, which received the news, also entered a state of martial law.
Zhang Tie was at home at the time, and he only knew about it when he received a news report from Huaiyuantang.
Of course, also in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, along with this bad news, there is another "good news" related to the blood people - Zhang Tie asked the elder brother to find someone to build the war fortress prison near the mountain gate of the Tielong Sect to hold the blood people, which has been officially assembled and built.
This bloody prison was named by Zhang Tie as the Demon Castle, the total number of bloody people that can be held in the entire Demon Castle is 200,000 people, and the person responsible for the construction of this Castle Prison is a large castle builder group in Taixia Yanzhou who is responsible for this kind of business.
Zhang Tie has not yet seen the newly built Demon Castle, but I heard that it is larger than the Crystal Battle Castle on the spot, after the Demon Castle was built, the first batch of "acquisitions" by Zhang Tie and the Jinwu Merchant Group during this time, a total of 1287 bloody people, have been imprisoned in the Demon Castle, guarded by Jin Wuwei.
The bloody rebellion ravaged Taixia, and the backbone of the Tongtian Sect who "manufactured" these bloody people were exposed, but they have disappeared in the past two months, except for a bunch of small fish and shrimp that were caught or killed by the Taixia Tingwei Mansion, those who have names and surnames, and are being wanted by the Tingwei Mansion, the knight-level masters of the Tongtian Sect, but very few have really been caught, and those people are like disappearing, which makes people a little uneasy.
