Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1388: A New Identity

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

At noon, the sun was hanging high over the sky. An SUV was moving forward at a high speed, leaving the golden wheatfields on both sides behind...

The Jasper SUV was painted with military camouflage. It had just set off a large-scale airship base from Ningshui Prefecture, Ningzhou Province. Besides the driver, there was only a common-looking young man at his 20s in an azure uniform of major in the vehicle.

The uniform was provided by the new air cavalry troops in the theater of operations. It was a bit eye-catching for a young man to wear such a uniform. After picking up this young man at the airport, the driver had been peering at that young man who was sitting on the back seat through the rearview mirror with great admiration.

The driver was a teenager in the ordinary corporal uniform of the air cavalry base. According to his armband, this driver was affiliated with the logistics system of the base. Therefore, the major’s uniform was full of temptation to him as the most attractive uniform in the world.

The young passenger was a man of few words. Since he got on the vehicle, he had been watching the rich scenery in the farm fields with military luggage on his side.

After leaving the airport for almost 5 minutes, the driver finally couldn’t stand opening his mouth.

“Sir, is it your first time in the Western Theater of Operations?”

After hearing the driver’s words, the young major fixated onto the driver in the rearview mirror with a smile as he replied, “Well, almost like that. I’ve been here before; however, I didn’t wear this uniform at that time...”

The major’s voice was tender and calm instead of being icy or ostentatious. After hearing this voice, the driver became reassured at once as he continued.

“Sir, do you drive planes?”

“Yes, I do...”

“Did you learn it in the pilot academy of the theater of operations?”

“No, I’ve already learned it before...”

After hearing this answer, the driver instantly became dumbfounded as he widely opened his mouth, “Before? You mean you’ve already learned to drive airplanes before the establishment of the pilot academies in the theater of operations? If so, you must be the most orthodox air cavalry as you’ve learned it in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory...”

“You know Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory?” The major asked with an interest.

“Sir, don’t look down upon me. Of course, I know that Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory is the holy land for air cavalries. It’s said that all the coaches of the pilot academies in the theater of operations derived from Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory...” The driver said before letting out a sigh, “Sir, if only you came here 1 week earlier, you could have encountered the first large-scale battle between our air cavalries and wing demons. In that fight, we killed over 10,000 LV 9 wing demons. Previously, wing demons were always unrivaled. After this battle, those birds finally know that we’re something...”

The driver made the achievement two times greater. However, the major didn’t mind it; instead, he just replied with a smile, “Really?”

“Of course, when I promote to LV 3 warrior in a couple of years, I will not drive the car anymore. I will also apply to learn how to drive an airplane. I will also f*ck those demons by plane. That’s cool...” The young driver said as he punched the wheel out of excitement.

“Cool?” The major turned slightly solemn as he threw another glance at the driver through the rearview mirror, “It’s risky. After setting off, you might not even come back. Your family members expect you to serve the country and survive back!”

“Sir, aren’t you here too? Even you’re not afraid of death, why do I fear about it?” The young driver said in an undaunted manner.

“I came here because I’ve already mastered great battle and driving skills. I’m here to kill wing demons, not for death. It’s far from being ‘cool’...”

The young driver slightly opened his mouth as he felt the major was pretty pretentious and overbearing. However, he sounded reasonable.

“Ahh, sir, do you have an orderly? If not, how about me? As you’ve got the driving skills, I could learn from you...” The young driver rolled his eyes as he said wisely.

“You...”

“Yup, I’m serving the logistics department of the No. 46 air cavalry base. I know that you will register in the base today. If you want me to be your orderly, the logistics department would definitely agree with you!”

“What’s your ability?”

“Driving, cooking, dealing with internal affairs, making inquiries, setting traps and keeping secrets. I know everything that the other orderlies know!” The young driver said confidently.

The major replied with a smile, “What’s your name?”

“I’m Stone!”

“Stone?”

“The name was given by my grandpa. He said this name would extend my life expectancy...”

“It seems that we’re destined to know each other. My name would also extend my life expectancy!”

“What’s your name, sir?”

“Zhang Tie...”

“Ahh...” The young driver widely opened his mouth as if there was an egg inside, “Sir, your name sounds really...really...how to say...a bit...a bit....that...”

“Pretentious?”

“Yes, pretentious. Those who dare share this name is too pretentious and motherf*cking great!” The young driver sighed as he punched the steering wheel once again.

“Whatever, it’s named by my parents. Too many people share this name in Taixia Country...”

The young air cavalry major was the real Zhang Tie. After changing his face, Zhang Tie changed his identity while maintaining his name. After making a round, he directly came to the No. 46 air cavalry base in Dragonwater Prefecture, Ningzhou Province for registration.

Being only 130 miles away from Weishui River, the No. 46 air cavalry base was one of the frontline air cavalry bases. An air cavalry regiment was encamped inside. This air cavalry regiment was directly affiliated to Xuanyuan Fortress. All the 5,000 air cavalries in this base joined the air battle that broke out 1 week ago. As a result, 1,200 of them died. The base was now supplying air cavalries. Zhang Tie then came here in a new identity and a new look.

Besides Zhang Tie and Zuoqiu Mingyue, nobody across Xuanyuan Fortress knew Zhang Tie’s real identity, including Bai Suxian.

At the same time, when Zhang Tie set for this base, Zuoqiu Mingyue had arranged a stand-in to leave Xuanyuan Fortress by airboat in Zhang Tie’s look. The stand-in would make an inspection tour of autumn harvest in the grain-based areas of the four provinces and leave the sight of the knights in Xuanyuan Fortress for the time being. Everybody knew that it was because that Military God treasured Zhang Tie. Of course, nobody felt that Zhang Tie was timid by leaving Xuanyuan Fortress at this moment. Because Zhang Tie had long proved his braveness on the battlefield.

Battle was actually a matter of craft. None of the knights in Xuanyuan Fortress knew that Zhang Tie who already left Xuanyuan Fortress by airboat had already joined land forces as a major in air cavalry base. In fact, Zhang Tie still stayed in the frontline. Even though demons wanted to kill Zhang Tie, they might not even be able to find him.
