The door of the airship captain's room was gently knocked a few times, Zhang Tie interrupted the cultivation of the secret mantra of the Great Wilderness Sutra, opened the door, and saw a crew member on the Fool standing outside his door.
"Captain, in front of you is the capital of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, the first mate asked me to sue you!"
"Oh, okay, I'll be to the command module then!"
The crew saluted and left, and Zhang Tie also tidied up his clothes, put on his hat, and then walked towards the command cabin.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was wearing a dark green military uniform with no military rank and belonging to the Jinyun national militia system, if it weren't for the captain logo of the airship pinned to his chest, no one would believe that he was the captain of the majestic angry war airship in front of him.
The captain's bedroom is the best room on the airship, and it is also very close to the command cabin of the airship, through the spacious passage in the middle of the Fury Wind-class airship that can allow three people to pass through at the same time, and then walk down a short staircase, Zhang Tie enters the command cabin of the airship.
"At 13:58 p.m. on April 7, the captain entered the command cabin of the airship and took over the command of the airship!"
Seeing Zhang Tie come in, the first mate of the airship standing next to the helmsman of the airship and the captain's command position immediately said in a loud voice, on the fool at this moment, except for those volunteers who did not wear military uniforms, the rest of the qiē are the same as a war airship that has officially set out for the war, with strict operating procedures and systems, and after the first mate finished speaking, the second officer of the airship in the command cabin immediately made a mark on the drawing of the airship and the flight log.
Everyone in the command cabin saluted Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie returned the salute. Then he walked up to the command station, which was three steps above the ground of the command module, and held the railing around the command station with his hand. Bow your head and look out at the ground below the airship.
There is a very advanced top-down imaging lens in the command position, which is a bit like a huge telescope facing the ground, and the use of optical principles allows the captain to see clearly the ground below the airship as soon as he looks down in this position, and can also adjust the angle and size of the image that appears in the imaging lens.
At this moment, the airship is in the air at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and it is on the periscope imaging lens in front of Zhang Tie. The qiē on the ground was clearly presented in front of Zhang Tie's eyes, Zhang Tie didn't know what the Golden Orchid Empire was like in the past, but at this moment, most of the city under his feet had become a ruin, and the situation was even more tragic than that of Black Flame City.
Three months after the outbreak of the Holy War, Osri was struck by a demonic plague. The Holy Golden Orchid Empire, which had been tossed to the point of dying by Haige VII, officially collapsed in this demonic disaster.
Even before the Divine Golden Orchid Empire completely collapsed and dissolved, Haige VII issued a ridiculous order to dissolve the entire empire, and he asked those subjects who were still loyal to him to accompany him to a new world, to recreate a new kingdom full of "light and love". The entire royal family of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire is missing.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the Holy Golden Orchid Empire perished in the demonic calamity or perished in the hands of that Haige VII, for the citizens of a country, when the holy war came, they encountered such a strange emperor. I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, with the disappearance of the entire royal family of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire. Even before the Demonic Puppet Legion arrived, the entire city of Osri had lost any fighting spirit, and the vast majority of the people in this city had already slipped away one by one, just like their ridiculous emperor.
And the people who scolded Haige VII the most were not the citizens of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire who had been tossed by His Majesty the Emperor for a long time and had completely lost confidence in this country, but those "promising young people" who had paid two hundred, or even more, and dreamed of Osri becoming the concubine and future prince of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire.
No one has counted how many of these "promising youths" there are, but at that time, the diplomatic embassies of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire had advertised in various countries in the entire Blackson Terran corridor, so it was roughly estimated that at least tens of thousands of people's "horse registration fees" were lost, and of course, Zhang Tie was also included in these registration fees.
The registration fee of tens of thousands of people adds up to not a small amount, and it is said that the registration fee is also divided into many different levels, different levels have different treatment, the registration fee of 2oo gold coins, for those ordinary little people who want to ascend to the sky in one step, is the lowest, and there are also some for those big 6 giants, tyrants, and more special treatment of the "horse registration fee" I heard that hundreds of thousands of gold coins are available.
Therefore, no one knows how much money Haige VII ended up running away in the name of choosing a horse, and it was definitely not a small amount anyway.
After the collective disappearance of the royal family of the entire Holy Golden Orchid Empire, some say that Sea Song VII was the biggest liar in the history of the entire Blackson Terran corridor, as he used one of his daughters to complete the largest robbery in the history of the entire Blackson Terran corridor just before the holy war came.
More "promising youths" can only admit that they are unlucky, and they can't talk about their suffering, because according to the agreement between the two parties, this matter really has little to do with Haige VII.
At the beginning, for the sake of Pandora, Zhang Tie also paid 2oo gold coins in the embassy of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire in Jinyun Kingdom, which was like a black intermediary, and also signed an agreement to participate in the registration, he didn't take this matter to heart at first, but two days ago, he took out the agreement and took a closer look, and finally found such a line of small words like ant legs in an inconspicuous place in that agreement.
-- In the event of force majeure such as war and natural disasters, the Royal Family of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire has the right to extend, terminate or give up the performance of this agreement, and the losses caused by such force majeure shall be borne by the applicant, and the registration fee will not be refunded no matter how much, and the Holy Golden Orchid Empire and its royal family shall not assume any responsibility.
- Note: The force majeure factors stipulated in the contract include but are not limited to those listed in the annex to this agreement, and the royal family of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire has the final right to interpret them.
Jihad is, of course, force majeure. And it is the most powerful kind of force majeure, so no one has anything to say.
At the time of seeing this clause. Even Zhang Tie was speechless, and he even had some doubts about whether the off-line emperor of Hai Ge VII had already known that the holy war would explode before this, so he pushed his daughter out and completed such a robbery.
No one can answer this question now, because the entire royal family members of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire have disappeared, and no one knows where they have gone. The royal family of an empire disappeared en masse. This kind of thing, if it were in a time of peace, would definitely cause an uproar, but at this moment, when the holy war comes, there are many countries that have perished or are in the process of perishing, and in the midst of chaos where countless people are dying every day. Such a thing is like a wave in a tsunami, and in the blink of an eye, no one pays attention to it.
Zhang Tie adjusted the scene in front of him from the top-down imaging lens, observing the situation of Osli beneath his feet—large swaths of buildings that had collapsed or been destroyed by fire, and there were almost no people. Occasionally, you can see a few demonized puppet zombies wandering among the ruins, and the one in front of him is the scene presented in front of Zhang Tie's eyes by the most prosperous capital of the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire.
Since leaving Jin Yunguo, the farther he flew north, the more Zhang Tie saw such a scene. The heavier the mood is, the more it comes to this moment. He finally understood what kind of hearts those in Yiyang City who held signs and volunteered to become slaves as long as someone could take them out of this big 6.
Those people are the group of people who have been most hurt by the jihad so far that Zhang Tie has seen, and the pain of that group of people makes them better understand what is the biggest and most realistic pursuit of an ordinary person in the holy war - to live!
Looking at the mottled earth beneath the airship like a palette polluted by the dull tones of black and gray, Zhang Tie's face was calm, but his heart was not as calm as his appearance, but full of turbulent waves.
If the grand event of choosing a husband for Pandora was a premeditated scam to take advantage of the opportunity of the arrival of the holy war, then, why would Hai Ge VII know that the holy war would explode before the grand ceremony of choosing a husband, the time determined by Hai Ge VII, and even before the Tianhan City incident, unless it was a demon or a key figure in the Three Eyes Society, no one could have such an accurate grasp of the time of the arrival of the holy war.
It was only after leaving the Ice and Snow Wasteland that he had a clear time judgment on the arrival of the Holy War, why could Haige VII know so early?
If Sea Song VII is really a member of the Demon Race or the Three-Eyed Society, then what role does Pandora play in this matter, a pure innocent, or is it possible that he is the same as Sea Song VII, a member of the Demon Race or the Three-Eyed Society? If Pandora is a demon or a member of the Three-Eyed Society, how will she face her when she sees her again?
Zhang Tie's mood was a little complicated, in order to come to Osri to see in person, the route planned by the Fool to the north this time was more than a thousand kilometers longer than the shortest one, looking at the large ruins under his feet, knowing that he didn't have to face Pandora at the moment, I don't know why, Zhang Tie felt a little relieved in his heart.
Even if Pandora was really a demon or a member of the Three-Eyed Society, Zhang Tie knew that it was really difficult for him to aim his weapon at Pandora, let alone attack her.
Just leave it to time to solve it!
It took less than twenty minutes for the Fool to pass over Osri, and then leave the city in ruins.
Zhang Tie turned his head and asked the first mate a question, "Are there any demonic beasts that often attack airships in the air within a radius of several hundred kilometers here......
"This route is relatively safe, but in the wild, there are many mutated creatures and demonic beasts that attack the airship, and it is easy to find it if you want to deliberately look for it......"
Zhang Tie nodded, and was about to ask the first mate to find a place near the airline to let him kill a few aerial demonic beasts or something, so that he could generate a soul tribulation realm on this airship, so that he could practice the glider and rotor parachute on the airship, but before he could speak, the warning alarm bell in the airship command cabin rang suddenly......
