The memories of the experiences with those senior and junior sister apprentices made Zhang Tie silent for a second. Closely after that, Zhang Tie watched Sun Qiming seriously as he slowed down his tone, “I’m not treating you as an outsider, don’t be estranged…”
Sun Qiming nodded as he moved back to one side.
All the people getting off the second airboat wore grey-green military uniforms of Fire-Dragon Corps. All of them looked very handsome. There was a pattern of a pair of wings being composed of steel gears on their hats. Besides, there was a special pattern on their armband, namely, a thunder hawk flashing across clouds.
The emblem on their hats indicated that they belonged to Fire-Dragon Corps. The armband of thunder hawk carried a special meaning in Fire-Dragon Corps, namely, these people were air cavalries who had been able to drive airplanes through strict training.
Over 4,000 people got off the 2nd airboat, led by Zhang Su, Zhang Tie’s cousin. Some of Zhang Tie’s disciples such as Liu Xing were also among the crowd. As they wore military uniforms, they were not eye-catching at all. Perhaps only those who were familiar with Liu Xing and the other indoor disciples of Zhang Tie could notice the thrilling mood of them.
Those people getting off the 2nd airboat were very quiet. However, they all carried a strong qi field and great arrogance. Because of the special temperament, Lu Yanyu couldn’t stand throwing more glances at them.
“Mr. Lu, what do you feel about my soldiers from Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory?” Zhang Tie turned around and asked Lu Yanyu with a smile.
“The top 4 armies of Taixia Country are well-known as they all have great arrogance and strong killing intent; however, I feel they could not match these soldiers in front of us!” Lu Yanyu told Zhang Tie seriously after observing those soldiers who had got off the 2nd airboat. Lu Yanyu was not trying to flatter Zhang Tie; instead, he really felt that these soldiers of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory were special.
“You’re right, Mr. Lu. They’re all the best soldiers of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. If there’s no knight on the battlefield, these people could easily eliminate a corps of 500,000 people!”
After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Lu Yanyu was shocked once again. However, he knew that Zhang Tie wouldn’t joke with him on this issue. Therefore, when Lu Yanyu looked at those soldiers once again, he turned a bit solemn and exploring…
In the silence of most of the people, Zhang Su strode to the front of Zhang Tie before making a military salute to him. Closely after that, he reported loudly and seriously, “Corps leader, the thunder hawk instruction unit of Fire-Dragon Corps have already gathered up. What should we do now?”
“The officials stay here. All the other soldiers took a rest first!”
“Yes sir!”
Without Zhang Tie’s order, Lu Yanyu threw a glance at someone. Closely after that, a staff of Peacewest Farming Administration started to arrange those people to take a bath and rest. After introducing Lu Yanyu’s identity to them, Zhang Tie instantly took the remaining people to his headquarters for a meeting.
Besides these people who came from Youzhou Province, dozens of officials in charge below Lu Yanyu within the Peacewest Farming Administration had arrived. It was Zhang Tie’s first time to hold a meeting since he promoted to Weiji General…
In the lobby of his headquarters, Zhang Tie was sitting in the main position while fiddling with 3 walnuts. There was a bronze tiger-shaped desk in front of him, on which were a row of arrows that indicated general’s command. It was a huge map of the theater of operations as wide as 10 m and as high as 5 m behind Zhang Tie. Rows of bodyguards were standing behind Zhang Tie and on both sides of the lobby of the headquarters in an extremely solemn manner.
Lu Yanyu was sitting on the left side of Zhang Tie’s bronze tiger desk together with the other officials in charge of Peacewest Farming Administration while Zhang Tie’s elder brother and the others from Youzhou Province were sitting on the right side of the table. As all of them had seen the world, they just waited for Zhang Tie to speak meticulously while lowering their heads.
“Mr. Lu, please make an introduction about the battle situation facing the western theater of operations and the Weiji affairs within Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province, Ningzhou Province and Military Province!” Zhang Tie opened his mouth.
“Yes, sir!” Lu Yanyu then stood up. He spent 10 minutes in introducing that to those at present before sitting down.
Even though it was their first time to come to Peacewest Military Region Headquarters, they had also acknowledged the overall situation facing the western theater of operations after hearing Lu Yanyu’s introduction.
Within days, the news that demons and Heavens Reaching Church founded Heavens Reaching Empire in Yezhou Province, Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province which were occupied by demons had been delivered to provincial officials. As it gradually turned warmer, demons’ offensiveness slowly recovered. By contrast, Taixia Country which had seen hope also became more positive. Under the guidance of Zuoqiu Mingyue, the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country, the armies and knights of Taixia Country were evacuating Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province orderly while fighting demons. They determined to weaken the sharpness of the demon corps step by step through the strategy of exchanging space for time. The strategical purpose of Taixia Country in the western theater of operations was to ultimately prevent demons’ vanguards from crossing Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River so that they could confront with demons for a long time.
Additionally, it seemed that demons didn’t have the ability to devour Taixia Country as a whole in a short period. Given the motive that demons assisted Heavens Reaching Church to establish Heavens Reaching Church, demons were using Heavens Reaching Church and Heavens Reaching Empire to gradually collapse Taixia Country’s internal forces.
Facing such a battle situation, the Weiji affairs in the four provinces in the rear end of the western theater of operation became especially important. Grains and materials counted most. Furthermore, Lu Yanyu also clarified the problems facing grains production and equipment in the four provinces.
Those from Youzhou Province all moved their eyes onto Zhang Tie’s elder brother. At this moment, Zhang Yang should be the first one who opened his mouth on Youzhou Province’s side. As was expected, only after being silent for a few seconds, Zhang Yang had stood up and told Zhang Tie.
“After hearing Mr. Lu’s words, we’ve already known the situation facing the theater of operations. If the general has any arrangement, just tell us about that. We’re here to solve the problems!”
