Oliveira nodded and said, “Apart from some special species, most beastmen are naturally afraid of fire.

In previous battles, the attacks by our fire mages were the most effective.

What do you estimate their losses to be?”

Sura shook his head saying, “The situation at the time was too chaotic to estimate the enemy’s losses.

However, based on my judgment, they would need to wait for the fire to be pletely extinguished to regroup all their troops.

The trees on the hill are very tall, so the burning time will not be short.

If there is no rain or snow, I’m afraid it could burn for a day or two.”

Oliveira, looking worried, said, “What I fear now is that they will not wait to regroup and attack immediately.

Konya City really has no defensive strength.

The city wall is no more than fifteen meters high, about the same height as a regular Behemoth Beast.

We only have three real giant dragons, and they are all underage.

Even if the Dragon Tamers e across a Behemoth Beast, in an inadequate quantity situation, they can only delay their steps at best.”

Ye Yinzhu interjected, “Brother Oliveira, how long before we can get reinforcements?”

Hearing Ye Yinzhu’s question, Oliveira’s face worsened.

He glanced around and saw that the others were all a substantial distance away, he lowered his voice to say, “Through magic munication, I reported the beastman’s surprise attack on Konya City to my grandfather.

But my grandfather said pressure is significant on Holy Heart City’s side right now.

The beastman army from Thor Hammer Fort has rushed out like madmen, and there are a large number of fast-moving wolf riders attacking the defenses around the Holy Heart City, making defense extremely challenging.

He has already requested reinforcements domestically.

Temporarily, he could only call my second brother’s five hundred dragon cavalry to e over and help.

He has no idea when the other reinforcements could arrive.”

“What?” exclaimed Ye Yinzhu, “In that case, we are here…”

A determined light glittered in Oliveira’s eyes.

A bloody aura, innate to soldiers, naturally exuded.

“No matter what, as a soldier of the Milan Empire, as a future dragon cavalry, I will never back away.

Even if I have to fight till the last man, I will remain firm here with the dragon cavalry.

Every extra minute we can delay the beastman, the better prepared the interior will be.

Yin Zhu, I’ve made up my mind.

You will take the students from the academy and evacuate, return to the academy as quickly as possible.

Now, the war has gotten out of control, and everyone here is an elite from the academy, Milan Empire’s future.

We cannot afford any losses!”

Upon hearing him, Ye Yinzhu and Sura were taken aback.

For this senior from the fifth grade, the two held a lot of respect in their hearts.

Sura nodded and said, “Perhaps, this really is the best method.”

“I’m not leaving.” Ye Yinzhu shook his head, his voice was calm, but the tone was exceptionally firm.

Oliveira frowned, “Yin Zhu, this is not the time to prove your manliness.

You should know that you, the elite students, all have bright futures and must not fall here.”

Ye Yinzhu laughed, his smile was very pure and gentle, “I understand.

But, I’m not leaving.”

“You…” Oliveira’s pupils contracted.

He suddenly realized that this young mage, who once caught his sword, seemed to have an extra special temperament that he had seen before in his brother and grandfather.

Sura urgently said, “Yin Zhu, if you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late.”

Ye Yinzhu glanced at Sura, “You go ahead.

Although I am not a Milan Empire citizen, I’m a student of the Milan Magic Martial Academy.

I have an obligation to protect this place.

Besides, I’m now also a mage in the Milan Empire’s army.”

Sura sighed lightly, “If you insist on risking your life, then I will join you.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled, “I knew you wouldn’t leave me.

In fact, it’s not entirely impossible for us to hold on to Konya City.”

Oliveira paused, “Do you have a good plan?”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Brother Oliveira, did you forget the military theories you once told me?

You said that when dealing with equal opponents, we should show them our weaknesses as much as possible, but when facing opponents far stronger than us, we should display our strengths as much as possible.

While our fire attack may not have hurt the beastman army significantly, at the very least it could cause them to panic and mistakenly think we are prepared.”

Oliveira smacked his forehead hard, “Right!

Look at me, I was all talk, but when it came to crunch time, I didn’t think as thoroughly as you.

Yin Zhu, it seems that you can definitely bee an excellent general.”

Sura asked in confusion, “What are you two talking about?”

Oliveira laughed, “It’s not a riddle, Yin Zhu’s idea is to scare the beastman first to make them hesitate to act recklessly, or even retreat.

It’s a pity that beastmen are too stubborn and doubtless, unlike humans, otherwise we might have a chance.

But scaring them at least buys us more time.

I finally understand now the true meaning of the saying that time is life.”
