Zhang Tie and two other knights from the Jinyun Kingdom have been stationed in the southern part of the Kalei Mountains for more than a month.

At this time, as a knight of the Weiyi subcontinent, even if he cannot go directly to the battle against Huanglong and share life and death with the demon army and the demon commander, there are still many things that can be done. For a period of time, he can stop the demons and the demon commander.

Some of the knights of the Three Eyes Society crossed the Kalei Mountains and directly threatened the countries south of the Kalei Mountains. This is something that everyone can still do.

The Demon Commander, who had suffered two major losses from the human race at the gates of Niyin City and outside the City of Ampton, this time adopted a steady advancement strategy of moving forward step by step with the demonized puppets as the vanguard. Under this advancement strategy,

The activities of the demon clan and the knights of the Three-Eyed Society have been relatively stable, with few rash advances. As a result, the knights on both sides have been able to maintain an evenly matched confrontation for more than a month.

The Demon Commander felt that he was sure of victory, and at this time he was unwilling to take risks with his precious knight resources and the soldiers of the Demon Legion, lest he fall into the traps and pockets set for him by the humans again.

For the Demon Commander, the army of 200 million demonized puppets is enough to level everything. Therefore, the elite force in his hands and steadily advancing behind the army of demonized puppets is the least costly way to capture the Blackson Human Corridor.

.

For these knights in the southern countries, at this time, there are even fewer people who want to fight against the demon knights here.

If it weren't for the honor and duty of knights, perhaps the vast majority of knights would have already left the subcontinent by this time.

On September 4th, the vanguard troops of the demonized puppets officially walked out of the Kalei Mountains, and the situation in the southern countries of the Blackson Human Corridor suddenly took a turn for the worse...

That is to say, on that day, Zhang Tie and many other human knights stationed on the south side of the Kalei Mountains began to evacuate...

After retreating hundreds of kilometers, Zhang Tie, Elder Yuchen of the Lan family and Elder Ge Qing of the Ou family boarded the Furious Wind-class airship back to Jinyun Kingdom.

Just like the knights of the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang use the character "Mu" as their unique knight name, the character in the middle of the knight name of the Lan family of Banxintang is "yu", and the character in the middle of the knight name of the Ou family of Chuixuetang is

The word "Ge", the knight names of these two families, are equally unique in the world.

Although Zhang Tie could always fly back to Jinyun Country from here, Zhang Tie was not stupid enough to do such a shocking thing and expose his own strength.

The airship preparing to pick up the three people stopped in Silver Pine City, the capital of the Principality of Liska in the south of the Kalei Mountains. The Principality of Ská is a small pocket country. When Zhang Tie and the others left Silverpine City in the airship, the entire Silverpine City, except for the last one who stayed,

There are 40,000 city guards guarding this city. This city has long been deserted.

When the airship took off, the 60,000-strong Silver Pine City defenders all straightened their backs, raised their heads and saluted, and then watched the airship carrying the human knights leave with their gazes.

Zhang Tie stood on the deck of the airship and looked at the defenders of Yinsong City on the ground with extremely complicated emotions.

These defenders in Silver Pine City were sacrificed. They stayed and fought bloody battles with the demons in exchange for the opportunity for their families to leave the Hawaiian subcontinent.

Each person who stays can give his five family members a priority to leave the Hawaiian subcontinent. There are twenty days of food for these defenders in the city. As long as they can hold on to the city for seven days under the siege of the demonized puppets,

Then, they can leave and escape.

Seven days gave many people a vague hope of survival. In fact, Zhang Tie, who had experienced the battle in Cernes War Zone, knew that under the siege of the army of demonized puppets and many demon masters, even if these people could

Use Silverpine City's city defense equipment to resist. But the possibility that they can persist for three days during the siege is very small, let alone seven days. Therefore, it is basically difficult for these people to survive. And they are not able to lag behind.

All demonized puppet troops are only a small part of the demonized puppet troops. More demonized puppet troops will ignore the existence of this city and continue to advance south.

Except for Silver Pine City, all the cities in the countries south of the Carr Mountains are the same at this moment. This iron-blooded policy to deal with the demon attack has been implemented since the first holy war.

Is this policy fair? Zhang Tie doesn't know, because these human warriors who stayed to die with the demons are almost all ordinary people with average family conditions. No one who is rich and powerful will stay to die. Can you

Is it unfair? Zhang Tie also doesn’t know, because in this situation where everyone cannot stay and die, and there are no resources to ensure that everyone can leave safely, as a decision-maker between staying and leaving,

, there is always a choice to be made, and this choice follows the most primitive law of exchange, cold and realistic - only with sacrifice can there be new life. Everything is the simplest number game - one person relies on

The advantages of city defense weapons and city walls can eliminate at least 5 enemies, so the value of the soldier who stays to defend the city can be enough to let his five relatives leave.

For those ordinary people who are unwilling to stay and defend the city, or who have no family members who are willing to stay and defend the city, if they want to leave the Wei subcontinent, their chances will become slim. They will either die under the iron hoof of the demons, or they will die.

The only way to survive is by escaping to areas far away from cities, in deserted areas, and not even explored on the map.

The so-called words such as the pricelessness of life and the dignity of life are almost ridiculously childish at this time.

One truth that jihad tells everyone is that life has a price. Not only is it valuable, but it is also not expensive. The poorer you are, the cheaper the price is.

As a knight who grew up from grass roots, at this time, facing the fate of countless grass roots that were about to be harvested, Zhang Tie could not calm down for a long time.

"Let's go, this is everyone's own choice. Even as knights, there are many things that we can't do anything about. One person's power is too small in the Holy War. If you want to control the fate of more people, as long as there are more

Only strong strength will do!" Elder Yuchen, standing next to Zhang Tie, said softly to Zhang Tie. This elder of the Lan family seemed to be able to understand Zhang Tie's somewhat complicated mood.

Zhang Tie clenched his fists tightly, then took a deep breath, and followed Elder Lan into the cabin of the airship.

Only the stronger the strength, the more people's destiny can be controlled - Zhang Tie remembered this sentence hard.

Back in the cabin of the airship, Zhang Tie didn't say anything more, but directly began to practice in the elemental world.

…

Three days later, the Stormrage-class airship carrying three Jinyun Kingdom knights landed in a city passing by for resupply. In the middle of the night, he felt the suddenly restless atmosphere outside the airship. Zhang Tie woke up from the elemental world.

Come on, open the hatch and walk out.

At about the same time, Elder Yuchen of the Lan family and Elder Ge Qing of the Ou family also finished their training and walked out of their cabins. The three of them looked at each other.

"Let's go to the deck and take a look at the situation!" Elder Ge Qing said.

The three people came to the deck. They saw that the night sky of the city was dyed red by the firelight rising into the sky. The whole city was in chaos. An aura of riots and killings was burning and fermenting in the night, like

Like the fangs in the mouth of a poisonous snake, it penetrated into the nerve center of the city and began to inject poison, making everything become violent.

The captain of the airship quickly came to the deck with a serious face.

"Report, there is a riot in Xinwu City. There are more and more mobs outside the airship base!"

"How long will it take for the airship supply to be completed?" Zhang Tie asked.

"An hour and a half!"

"Let the crew be on alert, complete supplies as soon as possible, and then take off immediately!" Zhang Tie ordered.

"Yes!" The captain saluted. Then he quickly left the deck of the airship and supervised the airship's rapid completion of supplies.

"Sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than the demons!" Elder Ou Geqing looked at the ferocious fire in the distance, shook his head and said.

"Many people will die in every holy war. In the last holy war, people died not at the hands of the demons and the Three-Eyed Society, but at the hands of the human race themselves. They accounted for one-fifth of the total number of deaths in the entire holy war.

Greedy wolf, fear, and resentment are all poisons that corrode people's hearts and make people more terrifying than the demons!" Elder Lan Yuchen said wisely, "Facing the demons, if the human race does not have strong cohesion,

Even before the demons attack, most of the people will kill each other and die!"

"So, we must go back to Taixia!" Ou Geqing said decisively, "I am a wise man, and I don't have enough strategy."

Elder Yuchen nodded.

Zhang Tie looked silently at the fire outside the airship base, squinting...

…

An hour later, before the airship could complete its supplies, the outer perimeter of the airship base had been breached by the mob. The surrounding walls were torn down, and tens of thousands of mobs with torches and various weapons poured in.

A group of soldiers from the airship base, led by a commander, stood in front of the mob.

Seeing these heavily armed soldiers, the mob stopped in their tracks.

"This is a military restricted area, and intrusion is strictly prohibited..." A bespectacled officer said loudly to the mob, then turned his head to his men, "These people are citizens of Xinwu City, not demons.

No action is allowed without my order!"

The soldiers holding spears and wearing armor looked at each other in confusion.

The mob slowed down and slowly approached the soldiers.

"There is an airship here, and we also have the right to leave..." A leading mob shouted loudly, encouraging other mobs to rush towards the soldiers.

"You can leave, but the airship here is not yours, and you have no right to use it..." The young officer wearing glasses still scolded righteously, "Please stop your steps and don't come any closer!"

"We just want a chance to live. We are citizens of Xinwu City, and we also have the right to leave..." The leading mob opened the buttons of his clothes, exposed his chest, patted his chest and continued to approach, "

All the blood flowing here is the blood of the human race. You haven’t let the demon race shed a drop of blood, do you just want us to bleed? Come and kill, come and kill, we are all citizens of Xinwu City, you come and kill us

ah……"

"I say it again, please stop, this is a military restricted area..." The young officer wearing glasses was shouting with sweat on his head, trying to let more people hear his words, watching the mob getting closer and closer

.The soldiers behind him became increasingly uneasy.

When the two sides were close to only a few meters apart, the young officer with glasses was still opening his arms and shouting loudly...

"The demons haven't attacked here yet. Please don't get excited. Listen to me. You also have the opportunity to leave. Xinwu City cannot be chaotic at this time..."

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the leader of the mob, and his whole body suddenly became violent. At some point, there was a dagger in his hand. The mob directly used the dagger in his hand to stab the heart of the officer wearing glasses. That

The officer stared wide-eyed at the mobster who had been slapping his chest with an impassioned expression just now, but now he was sending a dagger into his heart, with large mouthfuls of blood pouring out of his mouth.

The young officer wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

The leader of the mob had a ferocious expression on his face. He pulled out the dagger. Then, with the next knife, he stabbed directly into the neck of the officer who had ordered not to let the soldiers attack them. He fell to the ground with the officer.

A stream of blood spurted out from the officer's neck and sprayed on the mob's face. Seeing that someone had taken action, the mob behind them swarmed up and drowned the soldiers in the airship base in an instant.

At such a close distance, once the soldiers holding spears lose their initiative and are approached by a mob many times their size, it will be a disaster.

…

After frantically stabbing the bespectacled officer dozens of times on his body and neck, the leader's entire face was stained red by the blood spurting from the young officer's neck.

The mob got up, smashed the young officer's glasses that had fallen on the ground, wiped the blood from his face, and then pulled out the sword from the young officer's waist and shouted, "Grab it, grab everything."

These airships. Once you grab them, you can leave here and let the airship crew survive. Fly the airship for us and kill everyone else."
