- In the evening, an airship appeared in the sky above the People's Square of Black Flame City. The airship appeared very suddenly, as if it appeared out of thin air. It appeared before most people in Black Flame City could react. Where is it?
For most ordinary citizens of Black Flame City, airships are a rare thing. Therefore, when sharp-eyed citizens in the Citizen Square of Black Flame City discovered that an airship suddenly appeared above the Citizen Square, many people near the Citizen Square The resting people all raised their heads one by one and looked at the airship more than 200 meters above the sky.
It was an airship that no one had ever seen before. The flat, streamlined airship had two stable ailerons spread out like a bird. The entire body of the airship shone with silver. Seen from below, it looked like Like a silver, flying fish floating in the sky.
Because it is not very high from the ground, you can even see the propellers of several thrusters installed on the tail and two ailerons of the airship clearly from below.
All in all, this is a beautiful and domineering airship, and one can tell at a glance that it is definitely a high-end airship.
The arrival of the airship made several photographers who were doing business in the Citizen's Square very happy. These photographers chose angles in the square, set up their camera equipment, and shouted loudly to tell the citizens of Black Flame City not to do anything. Miss the opportunity to take a photo in front of such a beautiful airship. There were actually many citizens who came forward to take photos.
The airship suspended in the Civic Square has been sitting there quietly, motionless, not knowing what it is doing. Many citizens of Black Flame City speculate that the airship above comes from the Norman Empire, and there may be some important person sitting on the airship. indefinite.
Such a peaceful atmosphere in the Civic Square lasted for more than ten minutes. More than ten minutes later, a large number of heavily armed Norman Empire soldiers and armored vehicles rushed to the square as if facing a formidable enemy. A serious-faced Norman imperial officer ordered the soldiers to evacuate the crowd in the square. Only then did all the citizens of Black Flame City who gathered in the square sense that the atmosphere was wrong and hurriedly dispersed.
The officers of the 39th Division's ground air defense battalion who hurriedly arrived below looked at the airship in the sky, and there was already a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads. The speed of this airship was too fast, and it was right here in Black Flame City. When the air defense force of the airship just discovered that this airship was flying towards Black Flame City, and the airship did not have any regulations on the Imperial aerostat, and the style and model of the airship itself did not belong to any airship currently in service or produced by the Empire, Black Flame Yancheng's air defense force has issued an air defense warning to the ground.
In such a warning. The main boiler for the power of the anti-aircraft weapons on the walls of Black Flame City, which has been in standby mode, has been turned on. The well-trained soldiers of the Thirty-ninth Division have completed the pressurization of the main boiler and the preparation of the anti-aircraft weapons as quickly as possible. , in this process, the soldiers of the 39th Division performed impeccably, but the speed of this airship was too fast. It was so fast that everyone was caught off guard. The air defense weapons over there were not ready yet. The airship had already penetrated into the first-level airspace within the walls of Black Flame City.
If this airship had not flown from the direction of the empire, and if the officers of the air defense battalion were not 100% sure that the Sun God Dynasty had never equipped or produced this type of airship, the Black Flame City at this time would have sounded the alarm. An air raid alert was issued.
But even so, the officers of the air defense battalion were sweating coldly.
"Reporting to the commander, the lighting and signaling equipment and vehicles of the air defense battalion are in place!"
"Use clear signals to contact the people on the airship and ask them about their identities and their purpose of coming to Black Flame City!" the officer in charge of the command at the scene ordered.
¡¡
On the ground in the square, a special air communication vehicle is already in place, on top of that vehicle. It was a set of special optical communication equipment. The soldiers who received the order quickly tore off the cover of the equipment on the vehicle body, and then followed the orders of the on-site commander to face the airship. Two sets of light signals with the same message were sent out in succession.
There was a response quickly from the airship, a light signaling device under the airship. It also started to flicker downwards.
Seeing that the airship could communicate with the airship below, the officers of the air defense battalion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
¡¡
Just a few minutes later, Colonel Leibniz received the news and rushed to the Civic Square in a vehicle. Colonel Leibniz did not find anything unreasonable in the request of the people on the airship to talk to him directly. , because whether in the Norman Empire or elsewhere, the people who can ride on this kind of airship are undoubtedly important people with status and background. At least, Colonel Leibniz himself is not qualified to have such an airship. Air transport.
Colonel Leibniz, who came to the scene, looked at the beautiful airship in the sky, and his heart became more and moreIt is certain that at least none of the airships of all the generals of the Iron Horn Legion is as majestic and beautiful as the one in front of me. In the entire northern frontier of the Norman Empire, perhaps only Marshal Lin Changjiang's private airship customized from the east can be compared with the one in front of him. The airship in front of me is comparable.
Old Colonel Bunitz wonders, is there any big shot interested in visiting a small and remote place like Black Flame City?
After receiving the news that the supreme commander of Black Flame City had arrived, the people on the airship began to disembark.
Yes, come down, directly from an altitude of several hundred meters.
When the soldiers and officers of the Norman Empire Air Defense Battalion on the ground saw black dots jumping out of the airship neatly, everyone opened their mouths in surprise. The black dots jumping out of the airship were people.
Those people jumped off the airship as fast as dumplings, quickly passed through hundreds of meters of altitude between the ground and the airship, and reached a distance of less than 50 meters from the ground in the blink of an eye. Just when everyone on the ground thought that all the lunatics who jumped out from above were going to be smashed into pieces on the ground of the square, all those who looked up at those people jumping down only felt that the sky darkened, and those who jumped directly from the sky All of a sudden, the hands of all the madmen who jumped down seemed to open up a constantly rotating spiral rotor. The sudden rotation of the rotor made those who jumped from the sky suddenly slow down, and then, as soon as the rotor was released, Come on, those people hit the ground in the Black Flame City Civic Square like meteorites falling from the sky.
With a "boom", the soldiers standing around the square felt the ground beneath their feet tremble momentarily. The stone bricks on the ground of the square were shattered like spider webs in an instant.
In just a moment, in the citizen square of Black Flame City, a group of black-haired and black-eyed Chinese warriors in armor stood upright like javelins. Each one of them had a chilling aura about them.
Looking at these people who fell to the ground instantly from a height of several hundred meters, everyone including Colonel Leibniz swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They were powerful, very powerful, not ordinary powerful. This is the feeling these people give the soldiers of the 39th Division.
The officer of the air defense battalion looked a little pale as he looked at these terrifying Chinese soldiers who came from the sky to the ground in an instant. He recognized what these people were holding just now. It was a rotor parachute that could be folded and carried on the body. The most elite Royal Airborne Corps in the Norman Empire. What is used is this kind of rotor-type parachute that is more advanced than ordinary parachutes. This is not surprising. What really made the air defense battalion officer turn pale was that he discovered that the airborne time of these soldiers who jumped from the airship was actually longer than that of the most elite Royal Airborne Corps soldiers in the empire. The time in the air after jumping from the same height is much shorter, almost only half of the time in the air of the Imperial Royal Airborne Corps.
What does this mean? It means if you are defending here at this moment. After all the anti-air weapons below were turned on, it was possible that the tactical actions of locking and targeting these people had not been completed. These people had already fallen to the ground, and the anti-aircraft battalion of the 39th Division was in front of these people. It's just decoration. Next, his soldiers may face a one-sided massacre by these people.
Who are these people? The Norman Empire cannot have such elite troops! The air defense battalion officer had a question in his mind.
Not only the officers of the air defense battalion, but also the soldiers and officers of all the surrounding 39th Division had such questions. Everyone was stunned by the way these people appeared. This is what is meant by the saying "As soon as an expert reaches out his hand, he will know if there is something there."
If the appearance of these powerful warriors who had just jumped out of the airship shocked everyone, then the scene that everyone saw next was even more so that people could make their eyes pop out.
Just after these powerful Chinese warriors landed and stood up, another person jumped out of the airship. This person's speed was even faster. It was like an arrow shot down from the airship. Almost in the blink of an eye, From an altitude of several hundred meters to the ground, those powerful warriors needed to use rotor-type parachutes to complete instantaneous deceleration in the air when they came down. But when this person came down, he didn't need any equipment at all. He started quickly. Like a shooting star, when it was about to reach the ground, it suddenly stopped in the air, and then it was like a feather, without any smoke and smoke, just so light and fluttering, just like the next step, one foot landed gently There was not even a speck of dust on the ground.
Many soldiers and officers of the Norman Empire were rubbing their eyes desperately, almost unable to believe what they were seeing. Among them, only a few officers, including Colonel Leibniz, had their hearts broken. After jumping wildly, the incredible ability shown by the last person to come down was unique to him.Only then did I understand what it meant - a knight, a real knight. This is an extraordinary ability that can only be displayed by those who have reached the knight level above the fifteenth level warrior level.
In this era, these people who have reached the rank of knight are the real backbone for the human race to survive on this continent.
In the Norman Empire, what does a knight mean? There is no doubt that it is a legion. All legions in the Norman Empire are fighting groups formed with knights as the core. Any knight in the Norman Empire has a role to play. The qualifications of a legion commander. The legion commander of the Iron Horn Legion is a knight, a famous knight in the Norman Empire, the Black Iron Knight Clausewitz. The Iron Horn Legion is an army formed around Mr. Clausewitz.
Among all the countries and forces in the Blackson Human Corridor, the number of knights is the most intuitive and important criterion for measuring a country's strength.
Therefore, there is no doubt that in terms of identity, the person who finally got off the airship may be almost the same as the commander of the Iron Horn Legion, Mr. Clausewitz, no matter which country he is in. Of course, Colonel Leibniz did not dare to show any slightness to such a person.
Seeing the person who finally got off the airship look at him like lightning, Colonel Leibniz puffed up his chest, tried his best to maintain a more dignified posture, walked in front of the person, and took the initiative to salute a military salute. .
"I am Colonel Leibniz, the top officer of Black Flame City. Your airship has entered the first-level airspace of Black Flame City. I wonder why you came to Black Flame City?"
Because the other party was Chinese, Colonel Leibniz was speaking Chinese at this time. In the Norman Empire, Chinese was a language that all upper-class people must master, and it was also the standard language of all upper-class cocktail parties and salons in the empire. Chinese and Chinese were A representative of nobility and status, if Zhang Tie were here at this time, listening to Colonel Leibniz speak such fluent Chinese, I don't know how surprised he would be.
I heard Colonel Leibniz say this. The old man who finally got off the airship just nodded indifferently, then waved his hand. A soldier next to him stepped forward and handed a document into the hands of Colonel Leibniz.
As soon as he saw the blood dragon pattern symbolizing the empire on the document, Colonel Leibniz was shocked. Carefully and respectfully, he took the document and read it. The document was a special communication certificate and an action memorandum for all airspace within the empire's territory jointly issued by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Department. According to this authorization and this Memo, the airship from Jinyun Kingdom above can legally enter the first-class airspace of any city in the empire, and the people on the airship can leave freely no matter what they did. Finally, of course there are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Department of the Empire. Personnel are responsible for negotiating with them. When necessary, the local officials and garrison troops in the empire who see this document are also obliged to assist and cooperate with the holder of this document in carrying out certain actions.
Colonel Leibniz could naturally tell the authenticity of this document at a glance, but the content of the document made Colonel Leibniz confused - a big shot with a knight's rank from the Jinyun Kingdom. Why would such a document come to Black Flame City? Is there anything here worth such a person traveling all the way to?
¡¡
The airship hovering over the Black Flame City Civic Square is naturally a very dazzling existence. Not only people in the Citizen Square can see it, but actually everyone in the entire Black Flame City can see the huge silver airship as long as they raise their heads.
Has been promoted to a manager on the factory floor. Zhang Tie's father, who was walking on the road after work, looked up when he saw the people around him pointing at the sky in the distance. He also saw the airship. When he saw the airship, Zhang Tie's father was stunned, his lips trembled slightly, and then he returned home with a pale face.
Zhang Tie's home is still the same home. At this time, because Zhang Tie's sister-in-law has to take care of her growing belly, the Zhang family's rice wine shop has not been open for a long time, and Zhang Tie's mother has been closed for a long time. At home at night, he spends almost half of his time wandering around his daughter-in-law. In the kitchen of Zhang Tie's home, these days, all kinds of tempting ingredients and the aroma of soup are floating around all day long. , which made passers-by salivate. The father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Zhang family were all very satisfied with this.
Zhang Tie's father returned home and found that Zhang Tie's mother was still making soup in the kitchen, but her face was no longer as lively and energetic as before. When Zhang Tie's mother saw Zhang Tie's father, , biting his lip, he hesitated to speak.
"Stop talking, I saw it when I just came back. It's the Silver Wind-class airship of Zhang's Huaiyuantang"
"Could it be because of something else?" Zhang Tie's mother said hopefully.
¡°?The airship has the mark of the Huaiyuantang Zongren Pavilion. What I saw is unmistakable! Zhang Tie's father gave a bitter smile and said, "It must be the elders of Zongren Pavilion who are here this time. Apart from our matters, even if there are big things in Black Flame City, the elders of Zongren Pavilion will not do anything." Come in person! "
"We have been here for decades, how could they find us?"
"I'm just an unknown person in Huaiyuantang. I faked my death to escape. Over the past few decades, everything has been fine. The body of the faked death has turned to ashes. It was only recently found. I guess it's Guoguo's ancestor. The bloodline has awakened, and something went wrong, and people came to the door" At this point, Zhang Tie's father laughed, "I never thought that in my ordinary life, I, Zhang Pingyuan, would first marry a good wife and then give birth to a son. I can also awaken the bloodline of my ancestors, God is really helping me"
Zhang Tie¡¯s mother reached out and held Zhang Tie¡¯s father¡¯s hand. Tears were already filling her eyes. Instead, Zhang Tie¡¯s father patted Zhang Tie¡¯s mother¡¯s hand comfortingly. "Don't worry, it's okay. I just pretended to die and eloped. It's not a big mistake. It's just a trip on the "Scabies Travel Record". I will suffer for a few years when I go back, or I will die. The world has become worse and worse in the past few years. It¡¯s getting more and more uneasy, maybe it¡¯s a good thing to have Huaiyuantang to take care of you this time!¡±
"I was the one who harmed you. You could have" Zhang Tie's mother burst into tears
"Stop it, a man doesn't even have the courage to run away with the woman he loves, how can he still be called a man? What's the family fortune?" The masculine spirit of Zhang Tie's father at this moment. It's so puzzling.
¡¡
At dinner, Zhang Tie's eldest brother Zhang Yang, who had been busy outside these days, returned home. Zhang Tie's father pulled him into the house. Ten minutes later, Zhang Yang came out of the house with a look of shock on his face. , he looked at his mother. Looking at his father again, he felt like he was seeing a fairy tale. In the past few decades, the living fairy tale of love has been by his side. In that fairy tale, it was all firewood, rice, oil and salt
During the period after dinner, the atmosphere in the Zhang family was always shrouded in uneasiness, and this lasted for almost an hour. It was completely dark, and there were still dogs barking on the streets outside after dark. But barking, for some reason, the dogs on the whole street became quiet, and only the heavy and neat footsteps of a row of Kakaka sounded quietly outside the street.
Hearing the sound of footsteps and stopping outside their home, Zhang Tie¡¯s father and mother, as well as Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie¡¯s sisters-in-law, all held their breath.
The door of the Zhang family opened automatically without any wind, and then, a vigorous figure with hands behind his back slowly walked in from the outside.
Zhang Tie's father was shocked when he saw that figure. He quickly pulled Zhang Tie's mother to bow and kneel down at home. Seeing his parents kneeling down, Zhang Tie's eldest brother also quickly pulled his mother. My sister-in-law knelt down.
"Zhang Ping, an unworthy descendant of the Huaiyuan Hall of the Zhang family, brought his wife and daughter-in-law to pay homage to his sixth uncle"
The person who came in was the last person to jump off the airship. The person had a cold face and said nothing. After glancing at the few people kneeling on the ground, he went to the rice wine shop opened by Zhang's family with his hands behind his back. I walked around the store, then looked in the kitchen, and finally came to the main hall. I saw several incense tablets with the surname Zhang neatly enshrined on the main incense table in the main hall, and my face was slightly relieved. A little bit.
The old man snorted coldly in his nostrils, glanced at the kneeling people, and pointed at Zhang Tie's sister-in-law, "You entered my Zhang family, and now you are pregnant with Liujia. Since you have Zhang's blood in your belly, it will hurt the fetal movement." If you are angry, there is no need to kneel down, get up!"
"Zhang Ping, do you know your guilt?" The old man's voice suddenly became cold and serious
¡¡
At this time, when night fell in Black Flame City and the group of people who got off the airship arrived at Zhang Tie's home, everyone in Brape was making final preparations for tomorrow's Oktoberfest and Madness Day. The entire village of Chevli has a strong festive atmosphere everywhere.
As a girl from Chevri Village participating in the float outing tomorrow, Hannah spent almost the entire day with the girls in the village, decorating the float, preparing new clothes, doing her hair, and of course, returning home in the evening to dress herself up. The beer brewed for this festival is put into barrels and will be sold in Brape tomorrow. For the unmarried girls in Brape, the woman who brews the best beer during the trip tomorrow will be Opportunity to win the honor of "Beer Queen". This honor is the highest praise and recognition for a Brape girl. Its meaning to a Brape woman is probably equivalent to that of an ordinary Iron Horn Legion. The soldier suddenly became like a legionnaire.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?There was a "Beer Queen" once, but that was more than thirty years ago. Even so, this matter is still talked about by the people of Chevri Village every year and they are proud of it - Chevri Village What kind of place is Fuli Village? It¡¯s the place where Brape Beer Queen was born! And this honor does not come every year. Only those women who can brew truly delicious beer that everyone agrees on can have the opportunity to win this honor. In the four years before this year, Brape Beer Queen¡¯s The crown remains unclaimed.
Although Hannah also has the same ambition as every Brape girl to "become queen" on Oktoberfest, Hannah knows that the possibility of realizing this ambition is almost slim. Her beer brewing skills are all learned from her. Although the sister-in-law and mother are not too bad, in Chevri Village, they can only be at the average level. It is really difficult to perform this kind of skill that every woman knows in Brape. . Even Hannah's family didn't think Hannah could get this ultimate honor.
No matter what, it¡¯s Oktoberfest, as long as you¡¯re happy.
This idea of ??Hannah¡¯s family didn¡¯t start to change until everyone helped Hannah fill the beer from the beer fermentation tank into wooden barrels at night
After opening the lid of the fermentation tank, Old Harry was the first to smell the special aroma of the beer in the fermentation tank that was completely different from before. As soon as he smelled this smell, Old Harry screamed - Didn't finish reading?
