Volume 36 Chapter 17 The Great War Ends

On July 9, 903 in the Black Iron Calendar, more than two months after the last time the knights of the two sides collided, the two battle castles of the human race and the demon race suspended in the core area of Tiewei Mountain almost unanimously began to slowly withdraw under the protection of the two large arrays composed of tens of thousands of knights on both sides......

When the two large arrays began to evacuate, Golas, who was incarnated by Zhang Tie, was in a deep mine trench dug in the ground more than a hundred kilometers away from the Demon Battle Castle, and casually knocked out a Spider Demon at the level of a war spirit, and then threw the Spider Demon into the Black Iron Castle like a trophy.

As soon as the Demon Battle Fortress moved, Zhang Tie flew up from the abandoned mine ditch left over from an unknown number of years ago, landed on a small hill, raised his head, and looked at the Demon Clan's floating battle fortress.

At this distance, although hundreds of kilometers away, there was a thick black fog in the middle, Zhang Tie's eyes flashed with a lotus-shaped aura, and every move of the Demon Battle Castle still caught his eyes.

The Demon Battle Castle floating in the air was like a honeycomb-shaped malignant tumor, with countless entrances and exits on it, with a chilling aura, and it was slowly retreating under the protection of the Demon Knights' Great Array.

Is the first large-scale knightly battle since the beginning of this holy war finally over?

In the past half month, as the number of collisions between the two earth-level knights and above in the core area has become less and less, and the frequency of the Terran's combat auxiliary teams on the ground has become less and less, Zhang Tie is guessing that the Diyuan crystal mineral resources found underground here are estimated to have been mined almost, and both sides are preparing to retreat.

Sure enough, to this day. Almost invariably, both sides began to leave the battlefield at the same time.

With the slow withdrawal of the battle forts of the two sides, there were several scattered battle qi wolf smoke and battle qi tornadoes in the center of the core area. They all disengaged separately, along with their own battle forts and large arrays. Evacuate slowly......

Before coming here, Zhang Tie also thought that he might be able to get a little Diyuan Crystal in the place where the Demon Clan was mining, and after coming here, Zhang Tie knew that this idea was a little taken for granted, in this state, whether it was the Demon Race or the Human Race, there was more than one Phantom Knight guarding the Diyuan Crystal Mine Mining in the underground mine, and both sides were guarding against each other's Phantom Knight and even the masters of the Sky Knight level to raid and destroy. In this state, it was too unrealistic for an Earth Knight to want to do something in the defensive area arranged for Phantom Knight and Sky Knight, and the benefits were limited and the risks were infinite, so Zhang Tie gave up.

However, although he didn't gain many Earth Yuan Crystals, for Zhang Tie, his gains on this battlefield were also very huge.

Watching the battle forts of both sides leave, Zhang Tie still had a trace of regret in his heart.

If this battle continues for another two months, he will gain even more.

A strange figure appeared in the dark fog dozens of kilometers away. The speed was like electricity, and it flew towards the long iron in a strange route, as if searching for something. Zhang Tie turned his head, the brilliance in his eyes flashed, and then the whole figure flashed. Re-falling into the trench, a few seconds later. The little black beetle flew out and flew directly in the direction of the Terran Battle Fortress......

A few minutes later. That strange figure finally came to the place where Zhang Tie was just now.

It was an ironclad demon, a phantom knight of the demon race, and as soon as it flew in, the coercion on its body caused a large area of black fog around it to roll out at once.

There was a little blood stain on the ground of the mine ditch, and the blood stain was still very fresh, which was left by the spider demon who had just been knocked unconscious by Zhang Tie.

The phantom knight of the demon clan squatted in front of the bloodstains, twisted it with his hand, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and after probing the surrounding environment, immediately, a soul chasing spirit butterfly was hatched by him as fast as possible......

The Soul Chaser Butterfly is like a donkey pulling a mill, but it always circles around this place and does not fly elsewhere.

Two minutes later, the phantom knight of the demon clan roared angrily, and the soul chasing spirit butterfly that would only turn in a circle turned into smithereens, and the phantom knight of the demon clan looked at the terrain here unwillingly and resentfully, and then glanced in the direction of the Terran battle fortress, and directly turned around and flew in the direction of the demon war castle......

In the Earth Metaverse, the first battle between Zhang Tie and the Demon Phantom Knight ended here......

……

On the tower of the Terran Battle Castle, Dugu Yi's body stood tall like an isolated mountain peak, and he looked at the direction of the Demon Battle Castle silently, and there seemed to be flames beating in his eyes......

"In this battle, our knights sacrificed a total of 2,147 people, including 2,019 black iron knights, 128 earth knights, two phantom knights were injured, and eighteen percent of the battle was attrition, among the knights sacrificed, the Chinese knights from Taixia accounted for seventy-three percent, the alien knights from other continents accounted for twenty-seven percent, and there were 31 knights, including two earth knights who were completely missing after the battle, and their lives and deaths were unknown, in the rear battlefield of the battle fort, The final number of the second-class garrison knights of our Lion Fortress has not yet been counted, but it is estimated that it should be around 400 people, and more than 20,000 auxiliary combatants and logistics personnel are missing......"

A deep voice whispered behind the Demon Suppressor General, and when it came to the casualty figures of the knights, the deep voice also became heavy.

And listening to the numbers in this voice, the beating flames in Duguyi's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, this field of the knight battle of the Metaverse, the most fierce collision since the beginning of the third holy war, nearly more than 1,500 of the best Chinese knights were killed, such a loss, looking at the world, except for the Chinese, no country can afford it. At the same time, this battle was also the biggest sacrifice made by the Chinese people to resist the demons since the end of the Second Holy War. But such a battle can't be fought, can't be fought, if not, the demons will become stronger, so they can only fight, they can only fight, there is no other way......

And this is just the beginning, in some specific stages in the future, large-scale knight battles will continue to occur, and more knights will die on the battlefield for the survival of the human race.

The casualties kept the tower silent for a minute......

"How's it going on the demon side?" The Demon Suppressor General opened his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse.

"The loss of the demon side is greater than ours, in the results that can be confirmed, in the collision of the knight array on the frontal battlefield led by you, my lord, we killed a total of 2541 demon knights, of which the number of earth knights of the demon clan is about 157 or more, and some are missing and unconfirmed, in the rear of the battlefield, the loss of the demon side is probably the same as our loss, by the way, the demon also lost a very rare and precious earth-level shadow demon knight, in the ground forces, The number of warriors below the knight level lost by the demon clan is about 30,000......" The voice of the report said this, paused, and then took a deep breath, "My lord, we ...... Tried your best, everyone did your best! ”

Yes, everyone did their best, and who didn't do their best when they sacrificed so many knights?

Dugu Yi sighed in his heart.

The Demon Suppression General closed his eyes, and after a few moments, he opened them again, the flames that were beating in those eyes had been extinguished, and an absolutely cold and calm look appeared in his eyes again.

"Send the list of sacrificed knights and the list of sacrificed warriors at all levels to the Taixia Great Sima Mansion, so that the Great Sima Mansion can properly arrange and handle the funeral matters related to the sacrifice in accordance with the regulations of the sacrificial knights and warriors of the Holy War!"

"Yes!"

"Return to the Lion Fortress!"

The Demon Suppression General said the last sentence, and after saying this, the Demon Suppression General took one last look at the direction in which the Demon Clan's battle fortress left, and then went down the tower......

……

On July 12th, the three floating battle forts returned to the Lion Fortress, the deceased were gone, and the living, those who could return after this great battle, whether knights or ordinary combat auxiliaries, fell into the revelry and indulgence after the great battle, and the streets of the Lion Fortress, from July 13, the streets were full of warriors who drank and reveled, and the special taste of melon wine fermented in the air of the entire Lion Fortress......

In the official propaganda of the Lion Fortress and the entire Terran, this battle, the Terran won a great victory, and the knights who fought successfully completed the established strategic task.

In the Battle of Tiewei Mountain, the Terran knights not only successfully snatched nearly half of the Diyuan crystal deposits in the core area of Tiewei Mountain from the hands of the demons, obtained more than two million high-quality Diyuan crystals, and destroyed the plan of the demons to monopolize this important strategic resource, and even in the most fierce battle of the subsequent knight battle, the Terran knights also successfully killed more than 3,000 demon knights at the cost of sacrificing more than 2,000 knights, and even the warriors who performed combat auxiliary tasks on the ground almost killed more than 50,000 demon warriors......

The real numbers on the battlefield, the entire Lion Fortress is only known to a few people at the highest level, and in the need to boost morale, the propaganda department of the Lion Fortress, and even the Mountain of Light, have deliberately exaggerated part of the results, and the Battle of Tiewei Mountain has been publicized as a great victory of the Terran in the Earth Metaverse, and the strongest first collision of the strongest force group of the Terran and the Demon Race in the third holy war, in this collision, the Terran not only did not fall behind, but also took the advantage.

This kind of propaganda is extremely inspiring, and it can strengthen the morale of the human race to resist the demons, and it is a huge encouragement to the entire holy war battlefield in the Earth Metaverse and the various subcontinents and continents on the surface, even if there are no knights in the Lion Fortress and the Earth Metaverse, as long as they have the knight crystal card, they can learn about the information of this Battle of Tiewei Mountain from the content of the huge title on the homepage of the Mountain of Light.

The battlefield of propaganda and public opinion is also the most important component of the battlefield of jihad, the importance of the battlefield of propaganda and public opinion, not to mention now, long before the cataclysm, has long been known to the decision-makers and generals of the human race......

In the midst of the carnival of the entire Lion Fortress, on July 14, Zhang Tie, who had been away from the Lion Fortress for nearly three years, returned to the Lion Fortress again...... (To be continued......) R1292
