Chapter 1284: 1284
Before Zhang Tie determined to leave for the west border of Taixia Country, he had already called back the thunder hawk . These days, the thunder hawk followed afar Black Dragon Airboat all the way to Huanzhou Province .
It was not a secret in Iron-Dragon Sect that the thunder hawk was Zhang Tie's mount and pet . Zhang Tie purposefully exposed his trump card of thunder hawk to Ye Qingcheng . With the help of the thunder hawk, Zhang Tie could escape away from dilemmas or travel 6,000 miles a day . Of course, Ye Qingcheneg would not doubt that Zhang Tie might have any other trump cards such as Castle of Black Iron or a super high-speed flight ability as a divine dominator .
This was the benefit of having a lot of trump cards . Any trump card that Zhang Tie exposed to the public would make people see the light suddenly and think that it's all the abilities of him . However, it was just a tip of the iceberg .
'Sometimes, I could better hide myself by exposing some of my secrets to the public . '
Riding on the thunder hawk, Zhang Tie suddenly thought through it pleasantly .
As the thunder hawk flashed towards Helan Mountain Range between the border of Huanzhou Province and Wuzhou Province at tens of thousands of meters high, the land below was gradually covered by the dark .
In the high altitude, Zhang Tie activated his lotus-flower eyes as he could see far away in all directions . . .
Even though the night fell, the floods of airships and cars didn't stop moving . The army of airships was evacuating towards the east like a floating milky way . So did those cars . On the highway from Huanzhou Province to Tongzhou Province, numerous vehicles were slowly moving with high luggage on the top, carrying old and young, brightening up the entire road as if it was daytime .
It was very noisy over the road, which included kids' cries and adults' quarrels .
The local garrison of Huanzhou Province was maintaining the order on the highway . In each a few miles on the highway, there would be a resting area, from where people could get food, drinking water and coal .
On the roadsides, all the temporary vacancies for vehicles had been occupied . In the wild, there were bonfires here and there, reflecting on the flurried and helpless faces of adults .
People in the towns and villages on both sides of the road were also evacuating . Many smaller villages had been empty . Coincidentally, those who evacuated from the west could take a rest in these empty villages and towns . Zhang Tie saw many airships of Black Armor Army landing in the wild or outside the cities on the way back after carrying troops of soldiers and materials to the destination . After that, those people in the nearby villages and towns would board the airships organized by local officials by batches before flying eastward .
As demons had not arrived here, the commoners in Huanzhou Province still evacuated orderly .
Women, pregnant women, old and young would be firstly evacuated, followed by male adults; then local militia officials; local garrisons evacuated in the end .
However, not all of them would evacuate .
. . .
In an empty small village, a group of strong adults with red cloth strips on their hair were standing quietly on the grain-sunning field with the resolute look, sabers in hands, crossbows on the back . A tough man with whiskers was speaking loudly and passionately on the millstone of the grain-sunning field . After he said something, all the strong adults raised their sabers and swords as they roared . Closely after that, all of them divided into two batches . One batch of people carried bags of grains and the other materials into the mountain; the others silently buried something somewhere near the village . . .
. . .
A grey-haired old man was sitting in a small ordinary downtown courtyard in an unlined garment while grinding a sword with a long blade and a short hilt wielded with both hands which was usually used by ordinary soldiers in Taixia Country on a hone, causing shrill sound . In the room, a grey-haired old woman took out an old set of armors from a crate and was sewing and mending the lining of the armor for the old man . Before the old man polished his saber, 5-6 grey-haired old man in the armor of soldiers in Huanzhou Province had entered his courtyard, making the courtyard boisterous at once . Some guys felt bored as they directly started to perform saber skills in the courtyard . . .
. . .
Although the entire town outside the city was empty, the official residence was still brightly lit . A low-level official was sitting in the lobby in tidy uniform solemnly and drinking alone . . .
. . .
In the downtown, a fatty and drunk butcher closed his meet store with a pig sticker and a bone chopper on his waistband . Additionally, with a liquor-containing gourd in hand, he went to the blacksmith's shop and broke the ironmaking furnace and the steam hammer together with the blacksmith . After that, the two people burst out into laughter . The blacksmith carried a long saber and an iron bow; the fatty butcher found a helmet and a set of light armor in the blacksmith's shop and put them on . After that, the two people drove an old pickup truck to the west . . .
. . .
youngsters and teenagers would leave the teams that evacuated towards the east individually or in a group of 2 or 3 people and turned around towards the west . . .
