Chapter 627: An Encounter
When he returned to Mocco City once again, Zhang Tie sensed the intense and grim atmosphere which was enshrouding this city . The human defense line and works outside the city were crowded with discomfited human fighters; many broken armored vehicles and tanks were abandoned in the wild . Some turrets and boilers which could still run were buried beneath the earth, only exposing their batteries .
Until then did Zhang Tie realize that Volvo City had collapsed two months ago, the allied human forces only controlled Mocco City and Sladic City while the ground connection between the two cities had been cut off by the demonized puppets corps .
In the recent two months, the allied human forces had been thinking about breaking through the connection between Mocco City and Sladic City . The remnants of the allied armored units then became the main force to combat demonized puppets corps . After losing their fuel and material supply in the latest move, the No . 107 Heavy Armored Regiment of Iron Plough Corps suffered a great loss . As a result, the regimental commander had to lead all the fighters of the entire Armored Regiment to climb out of armored vehicles and evacuated back to Mocco City on foot . Nevertheless, they were caught up by a demonized puppets troop and could almost be completely annihilated .
In such a case, the armored units had two choices: to stay in armored vehicles for rescue; to escape out of there by foot . However, as Selnes was becoming worse while more and more demonized puppets were wandering outside the city . As for an armored regiment being trapped in the wild, they might never see the reinforcements coming . Even though the reinforcements arrived, they had to sacrifice many times more fighters to save the armored units out of there .
In such a case, especially when the armored troop was surrounded by the demonized puppets in the wild after losing power and suffering mechanical obstacles, those armored soldiers preferred to commit a suicide or starve to death than coming out of there to be eaten by the demonized puppets .
This was the most tragic page of Selnes Theater of Operations .
The No . 107 Heavy Armored Regiment of Iron Plough Corps were fortunate . When their armored vehicles broke down, those demonized puppets had not caught up with them; however, when those demonized puppets caught up with them, they were saved by Zhang Tie .
After being framed by Senel Clan, Zhang Tie didn't know whether he was a hero or a traitor in Selnes Theater of Operations . Because his status was sensitive to the public, Zhang Tie didn't inquire too much about Jinyun Country and the Crystal Battle Fortress lest others' suspicion . Through the regimental commander, Zhang Tie knew that Jinyun Country's troop had evacuated due to some reason after Volvo City was collapsed . Additionally, there was no news that the commission officer of the airship troop of Jinyun Country died or had any trouble in the past months . Therefore, Zhang Tie became reassured .
After entering Mocco City successfully, Zhang Tie separated from those armored units .
. . .
"When you see Reinhardt, tell him that the guy who smoked his cigar in Mocco City last time had come back . I will live in the place where he invited me to drink that day . I might stay in Mocco City a couple of days!"
"No problem!" That regimental commander nodded .
Zhang Tie waved his hands towards those fighters of the No . 107 Heavy Armored Regiment before turning back and disappearing in the pitch-dark street . . .
Zhang Tie didn't tell them his name .
. . .
In the evening, the Mocco City looked a bit frustrated . As a human city in Selnes Theater of Operations, everything about the allied human forces would be expressed in this city . Any victory in the frontline would make this city brilliant while any failure in the frontline would make this city depressed and grim . When this city became the defense frontline and might be collapsed by demons at any time, it was terrifying all over besides deep depression . Zhang Tie saw many human fighters sitting on the roadsides as drunk as fiddler and watching the sky with a vacant look . . .
Previously, in such a case, urban gendarmes would at least drag those drunk soldiers away; however, at this moment, the gendarmes might have disappeared or just ignored them .
With his memory, Zhang Tie wandered through the dim streets and alleys . It took him only a bit longer than 20 minutes to come to the Demon Hunters Bar in Mocco City .
Besides hiding the largest illegal market across Selnes Theater of Operations, this Demon Hunters Bar was also the most informed place in this city .
Zhang Tie's strange and powerful qi was familiar to those guards outside the door of the bar . Zhang Tie even smelt bloody, which was even more useful than any certificate . The guards threw a glance at Zhang Tie and sniffed before opening the door for Zhang Tie .
The moment Zhang Tie entered had he felt abnormal inside . A woman in black robe was sitting at the bar counter and drinking alone . She looked narcissistic . She was alone near the counter while the others stayed far away from her and sat at those tables around the bar counter . Although some tables looked evidently crowded, nobody would like to sit at the table, even though some stools were still available at the bar counter .
