He was acutely aware that the situation in Konya City was grim.
With the Beastman main force on the attack, it wasn’t just the tens of thousands of troops to worry about— even if it were only the Behemoth Beasts, Konya City was unlikely to hold.
However, the longer he could delay them, the more advantageous it would be for the defense of Konya City.
Therefore, Ye Yinzhu was now at the mountain peak, preparing to buy some time.
Xiang Luan and Haiyang stood at a distance.
Ye Yinzhu had originally told them to go ahead, but Xiang Luan argued that without Ye Yinzhu’s Douqi, even if they left first, they wouldn’t get far.
It was better to wait and leave together with him.
What Ye Yinzhu had to do was quite simple; on this mountain closest to Konya City, the slope on the side near the city was relatively gentle, while the side the Beastmen were about to climb was much steeper.
With several towering trees on the gentle slope and the mountain’s height of a thousand meters, if these trees fell, the impact would be tremendous.
Even though he was alone, Ye Yinzhu displayed an astonishing speed and an almost ferocious strength at the moment.
Both Haiyang and Xiang Luan who were watching were stunned.
The Green Silk, thirty meters long, unfolded.
Under the infusion of Zhu Douqi, no matter how thick the trunk was, as long as the Green Silk wrapped around it, Ye Yinzhu could slice through the tree with a single pull, leaving a smooth cut, as if it had been cleaved instantly by a sharp blade.
Then, Ye Yinzhu, relying on his formidable strength, began stacking the trees at the top of the mountain.
In just a short while, the mountain top was piled high.
“Is he even human?
Does he not know fatigue?” Xiang Luan murmured.
She and Haiyang were Mages, of the somewhat less effective Divine Music Master type, and in this situation, they were pletely helpless, only able to watch.
Haiyang took a deep breath of the cold air and said, “Yin Zhu’s strength is probably greater than that of an ordinary Beastman.
Look, except for when he’s cutting the trees, he isn’t using any Douqi.”
Xiang Luan giggled and leaned in close to Haiyang, whispering, “Yes!
He is very strong.”
Haiyang’s face reddened as she glared at her and said, “What are you thinking at a time like this?
You’re still thinking of such nonsense.”
Xiang Luan put on an innocent look and said, “I’m just saying he’s strong.
How is that thinking nonsense?
I think it’s you who has unhealthy thoughts, Haiyang.
It seems you’re also affected by spring desires.”
Haiyang playfully hit her and said, “Stop joking around.
You should be thinking more about how to get through this crisis.
I didn’t expect the Beastmen to attack from the least likely place.
If they get past Konya City, it would be terrible…”
Worry creased Xiang Luan’s brows as she sighed and said, “Now we can only hope to delay them here as long as possible.
I don’t know if my father can mobilize troops in time.
It seems the Beastmen aren’t just raiding for food this time.
If they attack with full force, the garrison troops in Holy Heart City might not be able to take care of our side.”
Haiyang’s plexion changed and she said, “If that’s the case, then we’re finished.
It takes at least twenty days to get reinforcements from Milan City to the Northern Border.
Even with only Cavalry, they couldn’t arrive in less than ten days.
But now, it’s not about ten days; we might not even hold for ten hours!”
With a sigh, Xiang Luan said, “We can only leave it to fate then.
Luckily, if the sky were to fall, we have these men to stand tall against it.” She pointed towards Ye Yinzhu, busy at work.
In a flash, Ye Yinzhu returned to the two women’s side.
By now, the mountain top was covered with thick trunks, the colossal trees still with branches, looking like a solid barrier.
But at this moment, Ye Yinzhu felt not a trace of joy.
“Yin Zhu, what’s it like down there?
Have the Beastmen e up yet?” Xiang Luan asked.
Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, “Not yet.
It seems they’re concentrating their forces in the ravines.
Maybe it’s because we killed those Ape Men on the mountain before.
The Beastmen seem to be more cautious now.”
Xiang Luan asked, “So when do we leave?”
Ye Yinzhu replied, “Let’s wait for the beastmen to climb the mountain.
I hope these big trees can inflict some damage on them.
The trees on our side of the gentle slope are denser.
Although there are fewer trees on the steep slope they’re about to climb, they can still act as a barrier.
But I’m afraid these rolling woods won’t have a very big effect.
If only we had fire—now that it’s close to winter, everything is dry, and it’s the perfect condition for a fire attack.
Brother Oliveira even spoke specifically about examples of fire attacks yesterday.
Unfortunately, none of us are fire mages.”
“Who says we don’t have fire?” A sudden voice instantly drew the attention of the three.
When they turned around, they saw that it was Sura who had e back.
Sura’s face was pale, her chest heaved dramatically as she breathed heavily, and her face was etched with unmistakable fatigue.
Little Silver Dragon Coin looked rather fortable perched on her shoulder, its chubby body still so adorable, occasionally using its front claws to scratch at Sura’s head.
“Sura, why did you e back again?” Ye Yinzhu asked in surprise.
Sura walked over to Ye Yinzhu and plopped down on the ground, “I’ve already passed the message to Oliveira.
Then, fearing you might be in danger, I came back to meet you, only to end up here at the top of the mountain.
Yinzhu, are you planning to use the rolling wood to deal with the beastmen?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “The other side is a steep slope; it’s easy to defend but hard to attack.
I simply want to delay the beastmen’s advance as much as possible and give Brother Oliveira more time to prepare.
What did he say after hearing about the situation here?”
Sura gave a wry smile, “What else could he say?
We only have five hundred Dragon Cavalry, and even with the students’ panions, we only have six hundred batants.
The original five hundred garrisoned soldiers of Konya City are almost not worth mentioning.
He’s already used magical munication to inform Holy Heart City.
I don’t know how Holy Heart City responded, I came back right after delivering the message.”
“Thank you, Sura,” Ye Yinzhu said, his eyes filled with a touched expression.
Sura smirked and said, “Thanks for what?
Have you forgotten what you told me?”
The two exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but reveal a knowing smile when suddenly, Ye Yinzhu noticed that the beastmen at the bottom of the mountain had started moving, and he quickly called out to the four of them.
The four of them went over to the rolling wood and looked down the mountain.
They saw a large number of beastmen moving from the opposite mountain into the valley, and the beastman soldiers already gathered in the valley had begun to climb towards their mountain peak—the last barrier of Konya City.
At this moment, the ones in the front were no longer Ape Men but the smaller, yet faster, Leopard People.
Their number was countless, and they were climbing towards the top of the mountain at an astonishing speed.
Only after the Leopard People did the Tiger People and Ape Men follow.
The most noticeable Behemoth Beasts didn’t move; they seemed to be directing the other beastmen to climb the mountain.
Sura glanced at Ye Yinzhu, “What should we do now?”
Ye Yinzhu replied, “You said we had fire a moment ago, do you mean Coin?”
Sura nodded, “Though still young, Coin can at least cast Red-rank Fire Magic.
It might not be enough to attack the enemy, but there’s no problem with setting things on fire.
The woods are very dry at the moment.”
Decisively, Ye Yinzhu declared, “Alright, let’s try a fire attack.
Regardless of whether it works, after we send these rolling woods down, we’ll return to Konya City immediately.”
Sura had Coin jump down from her shoulder and patted its head, “We’re depending on you, okay?”
