Castle of Black Iron

After the freshness of the first two days of sitting on the airship, the following journey slowly became tasteless for Zhang Tie, even in places like the Blackson Human Corridor, where the airship flew over. There are actually not many opportunities to see the human cities below.

Most of the time, looking down from the porthole of the airship, all you can see are rolling hills, rolling hills and grasslands, and forests that are out of sight. All places are sparsely populated. It looks barren, not to mention cities, even larger towns and villages are rarely seen. After all, relative to the land area of ​​the Blackson Human Corridor, the population of the Terran Corridor countries is a little too small. Most of these populations are still concentrated in some cities protected by city walls and can be seen outside the city. The possibility of large-scale human settlements is very small.

Zhang Tie, who got on the airship, was assigned a cabin. After getting tired of the dull and boring scenery under the airship, except for eating and sleeping, Zhang Tie stayed in his cabin in the airship, quietly proceeding with the difficulty of ordinary people. The practice of imagination.

The fifth-grade crystal pyramid photographed by Zhang Tie at the auction house was taken out by him and placed under the bed in his sleeping cabin. During the cultivation, he sat on the pyramid with a thin bed board. At the top, facing the bright spot on his tail vertebra, the cultivation effect of the fifth-grade crystal pyramid is much stronger than the crystals Zhang Tie used before. Zhang Tie uses his spiritual power to polish the bright spot. Significantly speed up.

Even when he is not practicing, the special effect of the pyramid crystals fills Zhang Tie's small cabin with a feeling of energy that makes people feel sober.

The airship Zhang Tie rides is a large rigid airship with a length of more than 200 meters and a height of nearly 70 meters. The normal cruising speed of the airship is 110 kilometers per hour. It is neither fast nor slow, except for Zhang Tie, a special passenger, here. When returning to Jinyun State from Karur this time, the airship also carried more than 50 passengers who were leaving Karur to Jinyun State. These passengers were men and women, old and young, and many of them looked completely different. The whole family is there. These passengers, at least in terms of dress and temperament, are very decent, and at first glance they belong to a well-educated wealthy class.

Zhang Tie can more or less guess the reason why these people left from Karur. These are the characters in the original Andaman Alliance with a sharper sense of smell. This sudden war and many signs have already shown these people. When they reached a certain potential danger, they started to seize the opportunity to find a way to leave the city before the Andaman Alliance and prepare to go to a safer and more ideal place in their hearts.

Jin Yunguo is probably the place where these people feel safe and can live better.

On the fourth day after leaving Karur, the airship landed once in a city completely unknown to Zhang Tie, supplemented with coal, water and some other materials, and started flying again after resting on the ground for several hours.

Zhang Tie originally thought that the journey in the airship would be smooth and smooth, but facts have proved that in this era, as long as it is traveling outside the city wall, there is no absolute safety.

On the sixth day when he arrived on the airship, the airship Zhang Tie was in was attacked for the first time.

The emergency and short whistle inside the airship awakened Zhang Tie who was meditating, and then Zhang Tie heard someone yelling from outside the cabin, "When encountering a dangerous creature attack, when encountering a dangerous creature attack, all personnel are in their positions, all personnel Take your place, the passengers on the airship stay in their own cabin and don’t come out..."

Then, tense footsteps sounded outside Zhang Tie's cabin.

If it was in the past, Zhang Tie must have stayed in the cabin like other passengers and did not go out, but the experience of Jie Xueying changed Zhang Tie. When encountering this dangerous situation, Zhang Tie quickly jumped. I got out of bed, opened the door of my cabin, and ran out with him.

The airship’s cabin is 20 meters wide, and the walkway outside is not narrow. When Zhang Tie ran out, many crew members in crew uniforms got busy, some ran to the deck, some ran to the cabin and weapons The passengers who were originally on the open deck of the airship, who admired the scenery and breathed air in the morning, ran in panic. People like Zhang Tie who rushed out of the deck were only in uniforms. Crew of the airship.

"What are you doing?" When Zhang Tie ran to the deck entrance, a man in his thirties suddenly stared at Zhang Tie. This man was the first officer on the airship, who was on the airship on Zhang Tie. At that time, I met this person and the captain of the airship, but I never saw it again, so I can't talk about how familiar it is, at most I just know that everyone is surnamed Zhang.

"I have been a soldier!" Zhang Tie replied in a deep voice, "Maybe I can help!"

The chief officer on the airship took a serious look at Zhang Tie. They sent a message from Huaiyuantang after their airship sailed out of Jinyun State, asking them to call one Zhang Tie when they were in Karur City. On the entire airship, only he and the captain of the airship knew who Zhang Tie was. It seemed that he was a descendant of the Zhang family left outside, and was wanted by the secret police of the Norman Empire.

Of course, the person wanted by the secret police of the Norman Empire would not be an incompetent person. I heard that Zhang Tie had served as a soldier. After thinking about it for a second, the chief officer nodded, "Come on, Huaiyuan Tang's descendants indeed have no reason to hide in danger!"

Zhang Tie and the first officer rushed to the airship deck together. At this time, the ballistas on the airship's deck were uncovered one by one. Many of the crew members who rushed to the deck quickly sat on their ballistas. On the gun position.

Because the main purpose of this airship is cargo, not military, all ballistas on the airship are non-automatic, and the steam-powered equipment on the airship only provides power for the propeller of the airship.

There are three crew members on each ballista position. The crew members who sit on the gun position put their feet on a mechanism similar to a bicycle pedal, and then quickly step on their feet. Under the action of mechanical gears, it took less than twenty seconds to complete the first round of winding and preparation for launching the ballista.

"A No. 1 position is ready..."

"The A-2 gun position is ready..."

"The position of the A-3 gun is guaranteed..."

"A-4 gun position is ready..."

The gunners of the various gun positions that completed the launch preparations began to report loudly. Zhang Tie watched coldly and found that the military literacy of these crew members was very high, even when compared with the regular army of the Norman Empire airship unit.

After these crew members were ready, on both sides of the airship deck, the two rows of crew members holding crossbows and bows were in their positions.

"Take it, put it on and fasten it!" The first officer of the airship threw to Zhang Tie a set of special equipment to wear on him, as well as a crossbow.

This is a set of leather similar to a simple waistcoat. After putting it on, there is a safety buckle on the waist of this suit, which can be buckled to two fixed metal sliding rods on the deck boat. Zhang Tie sees it. Every crew member on the deck, including the chief mate, wore such a set of things. Everyone buckled up the safety buckle on their waists, so that they could learn how to put on their clothes quickly. Buckle up.

Zhang Tie just buckled, and the airship that had been flying in a straight line instantly came with an accelerating right-turn rudder. The entire hull of the hull was tilted to the right, and the horizontal plane of the entire airship deck was tilted to the right by at least 30 degrees. , Zhang Tie only felt the strong wind blowing on his face, his feet slipped, and his body almost couldn't stand firmly. He quickly supported a metal handrail on the deck with one hand, and then he stood firmly.

After the entire airship made a huge half arc in the sky on the right and adjusted its direction once, the people standing on both sides of the airship's deck suddenly saw the appearance of the dangerous creatures that were about to attack the airship.

It was a group of giant birds that had just swooped down from the clouds in the distance. Zhang Tieyun looked at it with full eyes, and saw a black mass of things flying towards the airship from a distance. Those things were very big and spread their wings. When it was close to three meters, looking around, there were at least forty or fifty such giant birds in the dark mass.

After the giant bird flew closer, Zhang Tie could even see the long beak on the head of these giant birds.

The first officer of the airship standing next to Zhang Tie's expression became serious, and he said loudly, "It's a four-level mutant monster, Iron-beaked ibis, be careful!"

The airship performed two evasive actions in a row, but these giant birds just bite the airship tightly.

Looking at the sharp sword and spear beaks on the heads of the giant birds, as well as the airbags on the airship, Zhang Tie also understood that these iron-beaked ibis could cause huge damage to the airship.

Although the airbag of this rigid airship also has a special layer of light metal protective armor, no one knows how long the protective armor on the airship can last under the continuous attack of these giant birds.

When these iron-beaked ibis approached the airship about two hundred meters, several ballistas built into the airship's left deck and hull fired at the same time.

Zhang Tie only heard a soft buzzing in his ears. Six of the dozens of iron-beaked ibis, after a few harsh croaking calls, burst into the air with a few clusters of blood and feathers. At the same time, falling from the air, the remaining giant iron-beaked ibis fluttered and rushed towards the airship.

A rain of crossbow arrows flew on the deck of the airship, and the giant birds dodged very flexibly in the air. In this wave of arrows, only less than three iron-beaked ibis were shot.

When the iron-beaked ibis rushed over, Zhang Tie did not immediately pull the trigger of the crossbow in his hand, but calmly aimed at one of the iron-beaked ibis, just after the iron-beaked ibis had just completed its dodge action. When the airship was about 80 meters away, he calmly pulled the trigger.

"Qua!" In a ugly bird cry, the iron-beaked ibis targeted by Zhang Tie was pierced from the chest by Zhang Tie's crossbow and fell from the sky.

Almost at the same time as the iron-beaked ibis fell, a cloud of blood mist exploded on the iron-beaked ibis next to him. Zhang Tie heard a strange vibration in his ears and looked away, and saw only the airship The first officer held a longbow, and the bowstring hummed softly. Just now, the iron-beaked ibis should have been shot down by the longbow in the first officer's hand.

The first officer did not seem to notice Zhang Tie’s gaze, but quickly pulled the bow, archery, bow, archery, bow, and arrow, almost one arrow per second. After three arrows, three more bursts in the sky. Blood mist.

The remaining iron-beaked ibis pounced, not toward the deck, but toward the airbag of the airship. The harsh metal scratching sound suddenly sounded above Zhang Tie's head...

The airship was attacked!
