“As the vanguard troops of Black Armor Army, No.117 corps, No.15 corps and Black Armor Battle Fortress have already pushed forward to Peaceuniverse Prefecture in the north of Huanzhou Province, which is about 3,800 miles away from Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. Some demon forces are still resisting stubbornly. According to our estimation, Black Armor Army’s vanguard corps will clear up all the small demons quads in Peaceuniverse Prefecture in 2-3 weeks. After that, the vanguard corps will march into Fieryfield Prefecture…”

“As the vanguard troops of God’s Will Army, No. 38 corps, No. 215 corps and God’s Will Battle Fortress have already arrived at Phoenixwing Prefecture in the south of Huanzhou Province, which is about 4,100 miles away from Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. The vanguard troops of God’s Will Army have already discovered a team of 15 demon knights in Phoenixwing Mountain Range in Phoenixwing Prefecture, the most powerful one among them were earth knights. The knights of God’s Will Army have already fought those demon knights. After killing 5 demon knights, they have already collapsed the demon team and are chasing after the remains. Three teams of 60 knights in Xuanyuan Battle Fortress have already flown towards Phoenixwing Prefecture and joined the besiege towards the remaining demon knights under the leadership of 9 earth knights…”

“As the vanguards of the middle route army, the two corps of Zodiac Guards have already arrived at Whitetiger Prefecture in Kangzhou Province, which is about 1,500 miles away from Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. As the middle route army always marched forward with Your Highness, they encountered the least enemies. The knights of Zodiac Guards have not seen demon knights for a few months…”

As he always felt restless, Zhang Tie directly came to the command center of the Xuanyuan Battle Fortress and had people report the situations facing the five major forces to him. He wanted to know whether he had forgotten about something or not.

The floor under Zhang Tie’s foot was transparent high-intensity crystal glass. The sand table of the map of the entire country was in the lobby of the lower storey under his foot. Many staff officers were busy collecting various information and present them on the machine sand table. As long as Zhang Tie lowered his head, he could see clearly the overall situation facing Taixia Country in the holy war.

Zhang Tie was standing on the bank of Weishui River on the sand table. A huge convex arrowhead was marked on this place on the sand table. Additionally, there were another four huge arrowheads in Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province and Ningzhou Province pointing at the battleline Weishui River-Helan Mountain Range on two sides of this huge arrowhead in a row. The five huge arrowheads coordinated with each other. The distance between them and Zhang Tie’s location was varied from 3,000 miles to 5,000 miles.

Taixia’s forces pushed forward smoothly. Given the current situation, demons were unable to prevent the five arrowheads from gathering at the bank of Weishui River. After that, the five arrowheads would cross Weishui River together and enter Wuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province.

Zhang Tie lowered his head and watched the map under his foot. Meanwhile, he paced back and forth and slightly knitted his brows. Given the intelligence, the five main forces were marching forward without obstacles like splitting bamboos as usual. However, Zhang Tie still felt restless; even severer than before.

It was a young and handsome knight called Zhang Yuteng who was reporting about the situations facing the five main forces to Zhang Tie. He looked similar to Zhang Tie. Zhang Yuteng was Zhang Chengting’s son, also one of Zhang Tie’s grandsons. At this moment, many young knights of Jinwu Palace also joined those main forces and followed Zhang Tie to regain the lost territory and make meritorious deeds all the way here. Because Zhang Yuteng was sensitive and had extensive experience and a good memory as well as a great military talent, Zhang Tie asked him to stay with him as his personal guard. In this way, Zhang Yuteng could also widen his knowledge.

“How’s the Lion Fortress?” Zhang Tie asked Zhang Yuteng.

After resuming Force Province, Lion Fortress had gone back to the Earth-Elements Realm through Force Province. They pushed all the way to the entrance of the first abyss in Earth-Elements Realm. They were safeguarding Earth-Elements Realm and prevented demons from using the same trick. Besides Du Guyi the Demons-Suppressing Commander, Zuoqiu Mingyue was also in the Lion Fortress in Earth-Elements Realm.

“Demon knights in the first abyss are constantly raiding Lion Fortress. However, as they are all small forces, they couldn’t pose any threat to Lion Fortress!”

“When did Lion Fortress meet a heavenly demon knight recently?”

“Four months ago!”

“Where are all the allied human forces on the Western Continent?”

“The allied human forces on the Western Continent have already crossed Gradis Mountain Range. Yesterday, the vanguard corps of the allied human forces had already collapsed Dante City, a major town in the middle of Sacred Alliance Empire. The defense line of the Sacred Alliance Empire has already been full of loopholes!”

Not knowing why, Zhang Tie couldn’t be happy, although they were all good news.

“Well, you can leave!” Zhang Tie waved his hand as he added, “I’m going to be in secret cultivation recently. Don’t bother me unless it’s important!”

“Yes, sir!” Zhang Yuteng made a military salute to Zhang Tie fast. After that, he walked towards the door.

As for Zhang Tie, only heavenly demon knights could attract his attention on the battlefield. Nothing else was important. Everyone in Xuanyuan Battle Fortress was crystal clear about this point.

When Zhang Yuteng pulled open the door and was going to leave there, Zhang Tie abruptly added, “Yuteng, if you don’t plan to marry that girl, you’d better not let her misunderstand you. Zhang descendants could behave romantically; however, you couldn’t fondle with any woman. If a woman would like to stay with a man, she must want something. Some women could be bought; however, some couldn’t be bought. Before going to bed with a woman, you should confirm whether you could give her what she wants or not. If you can’t, don’t touch her. It’s like ordering food in a hotel, don’t order something you can’t afford. Don’t think about having food for free. It’s the lowest request for a man.”

Zhang Yuteng stopped at once. Closely after that, he turned around and said with a bit embarrassed look, “I see, grandpa!”

Zhang Tie nodded and implied Zhang Yuteng to leave.

As Zhang Tie’s grandpa, Zhang Yuteng was born in a distinguished family; additionally, he was young, able and handsome. Such a man would always be the focus of women wherever he was, even in Xuanyuan Battle Fortress. Zhang Tie was crystal clear about the movements of his grandson. When the other knights hunt demons outside, his grandson also became the prey of many people in the battle fortress. Those tender traps could also hone Zhang Yuteng who had just promoted to a knight and didn’t have too many love experiences.

After Zhang Yuteng left, Zhang Tie contacted Jinwu Palace and Xuanyuan hill and was told that everything in Jinwu Palace and Xuanyuan Hill remained normal. After that, Zhang Tie sat in his chair and half-closed his eyes with hands crossed on his lower abdomen. He then started to smooth out his mind.

Recently, it was even out of Zhang Tie’s imagination that Taixia forces were too smooth on the battlefields. The others might feel delighted about this victory; however, Zhang Tie couldn’t become delighted; because he knew that demons’ tactics and war potential were far greater than that.

Even though demons had lost three major camps, 4 sages and over 10,000 demon knights, they would never be willing to be defeated. Given the demon’s craze and aggressivity, if they were doomed to fail this holy war, they would definitely launch a counter-attack ferociously at this moment. Like that in the previous two holy wars, when demons couldn’t conquer humans, they would always bring damage to humans as much as they could. That was demons’ style.

Currently, demons could still use a lot of tactics.

Demon princes didn’t appear at this moment, which implied that demons had not fully tapped their war potential.

Demons had not used puppet worms in Taixia Country on a large scale. If demons were doomed to lose this holy war, they would at least use puppet worms without any concern despite the existence of moon-miasma; instead, due to the existence of moon-miasma, demons would even intensify the use of puppet worms in order to consume more humans and turn more places into barren lands where humans could barely survive. Even though demons couldn’t use them in the territory of Taixia Country; they could at least use them in the territory under the control of Heavens Reaching Empire. However, demons didn’t use puppet worms in their territory; instead, they left the territory to humans. That might contain greater dangers…

There should be many more sage-level demon knights and demon knights below sage in the underground abysses besides those being killed in the three major camps by Zhang Tie.

Now that demons were not driven completely mad, how could they be willing to accept failure?

Therefore, demons must have another trump card that Zhang Tie didn’t know about…

It was the source that made Zhang Tie restless when they were going to win the holy war.

‘What’s the trump card of demons? Why do demons believe that they could reverse the overall situation facing holy war even though I’ve regained all the lost lands on the Eastern Continent?’

Zhang Tie was in meditation…
