The demon army stopped at once. At the same time, the demon general flew off its throne from the demon battlefortress in the air all the way towards Xuanyuan Fortress under the gaze of over 100 million demon fighters. At the same time, a human knight flew off Xuanyuan Fortress towards the demon army. They both flew as fast as lightning bolts. After flying over 60 miles away forward, they encountered in the air.
The demon commander and the human knight stopped 1,000 m away as they looked straight into each other’s eyes.
That human knight who flew off Xuanyuan Fortress was Zuoqiu Mingyue, the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country.
The demon commander was followed by 100,000 demon knights and hundreds of millions of demon fighters.
Zuoqiu Mingyue was also followed by 100,000 human knights, the complex of Xuanyuan Fortress and hundreds of millions of demon fighters. They were in the east of abyss of billowy Weishui River.
At this moment, the air seemingly became frozen while numerous human and demon knights were gazing at the sky.
“I’m Sagus, the Monarch Abyss of the Realm of Darkness of demons and the conqueror of Hua people. Who’re you?” The demon commander uttered its voice as if it was reflected from the heavens instead of its body and throat. The moment it opened its mouth, its voice had shocked the territory within 6,000 miles like thunders. Everybody within this territory could hear it clearly. It seemed that even the billows of the broad Weishui River had started to quiver.
What a great power!
The moment the demon commander opened its mouth, many human knights nearby Xuanyuan Fortress had changed their face. As for common knights, the power of sage-level knight was out of their imaginations and reach.
After hearing the sound, hundreds of millions of demons cheered up as their morale rose rapidly.
“Zuoqiu Mingyue, the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country!” Zuoqiu Mingyue opened his mouth while his voice was also reflected from the heavens which covered the voice of Sagus at once. It indicated that Zuoqiu Mingyue’s power was no weaker than that of Sagus the Monarch Abyss of demons. The moment Zuoqiu Mingyue opened his mouth, those Hua knights near Xuanyuan Fortress had been in an uproar. Because Zuoqiu Mingyue had just manifested his power as a sage-level knight instead of a heavenly knight. It was his first time to display his power as a sage-level knight in the public. Zuoqiu Mingyue continued, “Over the past hundreds of millions of years, numerous powers had dreamed about conquering Hua people. In the early two holy wars, the demon armies that intended to submerge Taixia Country was like water drops in the ocean and dust over the ground. Taixia Country had been lasting and leading people for hundreds of millions of years in the Eastern Continent. All the powers and armies that once thought about conquering Taixia Country have been ashes in the history. Do you think that you’re an exception?”
“Taixia!” “Taixia!” “Taixia!”…
Hua fighters held high their weapons while their overwhelming sound drifted from the east bank of Weishui River. Their rising morale was not lower than that of demons.
“If so, let knights and warriors witness the end of this history at the cost of their lives and blood…” Sagus the Monarch Abyss said calmly.
“Hua people would never be exterminated. We could last among steel, blood and flames…” Zuoqiu Mingyue’s voice remained as calm as before.
“Knights’ battlefield and honor are in the sky. The halos of the Demon God would never decline!” Sagus the Monarch Abyss said with its arm on its own chest.
“Knights’ battlefield and honor are in the sky. Almighty Hua people would last as long as the sun and the moons!” Zuoqiu Mingyue said as he raised his head out of pride.
After exchanging a glance with each other, the two people flew back to their own battlefortress in the air…
…
Among the knights in Xuanyuan Fortress, Zhang Tie watched Zuoqiu Mingyue flying back as he scratched his head and looked around. Feeling a bit puzzled, he asked Feng Cangwu on his side in a secret manner, “What were they doing?”
“They were negotiating. Even bosses of two street gangs would give an opening speech before scrawling. In such a case, if commander-in-chief of Taixia Country and Monarch Abyss of demons didn’t talk with each other in advance, it would not even match a street brawl!” Feng Cangwu said while the latter half of his words evidently carried his amazement and admiration, “I’ve not imagined that Zuoqiu Mingyue has already promoted to a sage-level knight. He was already a heavenly knight in the last holy war. After so many years, he promoted to a sage-level knight…”
“Of course I know it’s a negotiation. I wonder about the meaning of their last words. It sounds weird!”
“My God. As Weiji General of the Western Theater of Operations, how could you not know about that?” Feng Cangwu turned around as he looked at Zhang Tie with extremely weird eye light. In a split second, his amazement had turned into understanding, “I see. You were not born in Taixia Country. In Waii Subcontinent, I’m afraid that no war could be involved with over 100 human knights and demon knights. It’s reasonable that you don’t know about it!”
“Can you put it in details?”
“According to their last words, they’ve made an agreement. In the frontline battlefield, knights versus knights. If not break down the opposite knights, a party’s air force couldn’t interfere with the fight against the opposite ground forces on the premise that it was not attacked by the opposite ground troops. Otherwise, it would not be glorious for knights.”
“Ahh, is there such an agreement? Does it mean that we could only fight demon knights and wing demons for the time being?” Zhang Tie became shocked. Previously, Zhang Tie thought that it would be a super chaotic war; he had not imagined that the commanders of both parties could make such a fair agreement on the battlefield.
“Of course, soldiers versus soldiers; generals versus generals. It’s been a tradition for tens of thousands of years. Generally, knights would not be restricted in using their battle strength; however, in such a high-level battle, they should comply with some necessary rules. As for commoners, urban gangsters would not spray concentrated sulfuric acid over the face of the opponent; neither would they call the police nor have judicial agencies involved in it. Before the Catastrophe, armies were forbidden to hurt civilians; additionally, no biochemical weapons or nuclear weapons were allowed on the battlefield. The sentence that Military God said just now, “Knights’ battlefield and honor are in the sky” serves as the rule in this case. Unless we could kill all the demon knights in front of us, if a knight fought those who were inferior to him in the frontline battlefield instead of fighting those on the same level with them, it would not be a glorious deed for a powerhouse. Therefore, it should be forbidden. This is the rule that both parties had widely accepted by far. Demons might be brutal and vicious; undeniably, they have sense of honor and belief too…”
