————————————————————————–

The battle staff officer looked at the distant, towering walls of Ferris City and frowned.

On the surface, it seemed that Isil Ray had done nothing wrong.

After all, he was a graduate of the military academy, and his troop deployment and preliminary reconnaissance were quite adequate.

But for some reason, the staff officer named Xiao Se always felt there was something not quite right about the people of the Arcadia Kingdom they faced.

What he couldn’t figure out the most was why Arcadia, with its weakness, would dare to be so tough against the Bo Pang Kingdom.

Unfortunately, he was just a staff officer.

Isil Ray, who was about to achieve victory, didn’t care about these concerns.

The one hundred thousand-strong army surged towards Ferris City.

All the Mages of the Bo Pang Kingdom began to prepare their magic on specially built chariots.

Facing Arcadia, which was poor in mages, Isil Ray was deeply convinced that his mages could deal a heavy blow to the enemy, or even directly blast open the city walls.

Just as Isil Ray imagined, the gathered defenders inside the Arcadia Kingdom’s Ferris City did not dare to launch an attack; the city gates were tightly shut.

Isil Ray looked proudly towards the city head—he seemed to have already seen the scene where he would breach this frontier stronghold of Arcadia and the Arcadian royal family would kneel at his feet.

At this moment, Isil Ray suddenly noticed that although there were many Arcadian soldiers on Ferris City’s wall, only one truly attracted his attention: a man in a pure white magic robe with silver-white hair, who even emitted a sacred aura under the sun’s glare.

His tall figure dominated the center of the city wall.

He did nothing—just standing there demanded that people take notice.

“A mage?

Such an old mage?” Isil Ray felt slightly irritated.

He didn’t pay much attention— even if the enemy had a few mages, they couldn’t possibly contend with the hundred fire mages he brought, who were at the very least yellow rank at the lowest, and blue rank at the highest.

Then Isil Ray saw the white-robed mage on top of the city take out a zither from somewhere.

Due to the distance, he couldn’t make out the details of the zither, but the moment the sound of the zither began to resonate, Isil Ray’s mind went blank.

Qin Shang’s clear, abyss-like yet incredibly clear black eyes burst forth with light.

With a light pluck of his index finger in mid-air on the seven strings, a buzzing sound emerged, profound and rich in aftertone.

Suddenly the air seemed to solidify, and a dazzling purple light burst forth from his forehead, enveloping him in a purple glow.

As the first and only Zi rank Divine Music Master, as well as a Grand Divine Music Sorcerer, Qin Shang began his performance.

“Zi rank, how can it be Zi rank?” Isil Ray lost all his previous posure, shouting in terror.

He pletely forgot that as a marshal, his emotions would directly influence his own army.

Zi rank represents the pinnacle of existence on the whole continent.

Aside from the Milan Empire and Landerius, if any one of the other six kingdoms possessed even one Zi rank powerhouse, it would be their greatest pride.

Isil Ray had never imagined that Arcadia actually possessed a Zi rank powerhouse, a mage no less.

His heart shook pletely.

Even surrounded by strong warriors, nothing could ease the panic in his heart.

Zi rank struck fear not only in him.

The panic spread through the Bo Pang Kingdom’s army as swiftly as a plague.

What does Zi rank represent?

Absolute destructive power!

Any Zi rank powerhouse could potentially swing the tides of war.

Nations like the Milan Empire and Landerias could not wage war against each other due to the Faran barrier, but they engaged in open and covert battles relying on their powerhouses.

The sound of the zither clearly entered everyone’s ears.

The Bo Pang Kingdom’s army, naturally, did not realize that a giant Amplification Formation was set up right behind Qin Shang on top of Ferris City.

Arcadia had been preparing for this day for a long time.

It was a trick resembling the one Ye Yinzhu employed in Konya City’s great battle against the Beastmen, yet with a certain ingenuity.

Unlike Ye Yinzhu, who had to rely on spiritual power, Qin Shang had no need for such aid—he was a true Zi rank powerhouse, and even if the soldiers by his side were weaker, they were much stronger than the forces Ye Yinzhu faced against the Beastman.

pared to the hundred Behemoth Monsters led by the four Chieftains of the Beastman Plundering Legion, Bo Pang’s one hundred thousand-strong army was far less formidable by any measure.

“Quick, all mages attack, attack that person on the city wall, we can’t let his magic be cast.” At the critical moment, Xiao Se, the bat staff officer beside Isil Ray, couldn’t care less about overstepping his role and bellowed urgently.

And just then, acpanied by a thunderous roar, a radiant purple light suddenly burst forth from the ground, rising skyward.

It erupted right where the Bo Pang Kingdom’s Dragon Knight Brigade had been protecting the hundred fire mages.

His tall stature, aged face, and long arms holding a longsword that shimmered with purple light fully displayed his identity.

He was a warrior.

What does a Zi rank warrior mean?

A Great War Master.

The requisite strength for a Purple Star Dragon Knight.

Ye Li was not a Purple Star Dragon Knight because he lacked a dragon.

However, this in no way hindered his might as a Great War Master.

What happens when a Mage is up close with a warrior?

As a Zi rank Powerhouse, Ye Li would never allow the Mages before him any opportunity to summon Magical Beasts.

As for Instant magic, it was utterly ineffective against him.

The secret to his sudden emergence from underground was actually quite simple.

Before the Bo Pang Kingdom army arrived, a not too plex tunnel had been dug in front of Ferris City.

Given Ye Li’s strength, even underground, he could clearly detect the location of the Dragon Cavalry by the sound of their movements.

The core of the Dragon Cavalry’s defense was naturally his target for a surprise attack.

As Ye Li surged up from below, several Mages had already been shattered by his powerful Zhu Douqi.

In the next moment, as he floated in mid-air, he resembled a giant hedgehog.

Countless sharp purple lights shot out,

Clusters of blood mist rendered blossoms of stark, vivid flowers at the center of the Bo Pang Kingdom’s hundred thousand-strong army.

A hundred Fire Mages, under the instantly unleashed Zhu Douqi attack, had only one fate: instant death.

Dying to a surprise attack from a Zi rank War Master, they could not be said to have died unjustly.

Ye Li let out a long laugh, as if to vent all the frustrations accumulated in his heart over decades.

He faced the madly charging Bo Pang army without any fear, soared into the air like a purple leaf, sharp and relentless, leaving a trail of purple phantoms as he headed towards Ferris City.

The Zi rank Zhu Douqi swept through the hundred thousand-strong army, invincible.

Even the Dragon Cavalry, unable to fully capture his silhouette, could not stop Ye Li for a moment.

Xiao Se was pletely stunned.

It was the first time he had seen how terrifying a strong warrior could be on the battlefield, murmuring to himself, “Taking a Mage’s life from an army of a hundred thousand is like taking something out of one’s pocket.

Is this the strength of a War Master?” At this moment, he finally understood why the Arcadia Kingdom had suddenly bee so aggressive.

While a Zi rank Grand Sorcerer alone might not give them confidence, the addition of a Zi rank War Master certainly meant they were fully emboldened.

As Xiao Se was stunned, and Isil Ray too panicked to know what to do, the zither music of Qin Shang, amidst the flashing purple halos, had already begun to play its intended role.

The Zither Magic, far profounder than Ye Yinzhu’s, faced opponents who were far less formidable than those Ye Yinzhu had faced.

The oute of this war had been destined at the moment those hundred Fire Mages were instantly killed by Ye Li.

…

When Ye Yinzhu and the students of the Milan Magic Martial Academy arrived at Holy Heart City under escort, this year’s autumn defense battle had e to a plete end.

After a frenzied assault, the Beastmen suddenly retreated en masse, pulling back into the impregnable Fortress known as Thor’s Hammer, the strongest on the continent.

Martin wanted to pursue, but Thor’s Hammer was too formidable.

Besides, due to insufficient preparations, the battle with the Beastmen had led to a Pyrrhic victory.

In particular, the five hundred Falcon Dragons that Martin valued more than his own life had been pletely wiped out, which was also a tremendous blow to the Milan Empire’s military.

A ceasefire was the best choice for both sides.

Holy Heart City, Marshal’s tent.

“That’s the situation.

Apart from those two Golden Behemoths who somehow took away all the Behemoth Beasts, the rest of the forty-thousand-strong Beastman armies have been wiped out, and our Dragon Tamers also…” Oliveira’s voice trailed off, and he couldn’t help but lower his head in gloom.

Many were present in the Marshal’s tent: Prince Feschera and Princess Xiang Luan sat in high places, with Martin quietly listening to the report from his third grandson, Oliveira, at the lower end.

More than twenty officers of Legion level and above from the Milan Empire and the Silver Star Dragon Knights and above were seated, and of course, the hero of the battle of Konya, Ye Yinzhu, a freshman from the Milan Magic Martial Academy Divine Music Department.

Listening to his grandson’s report, Martin’s face showed no change, but his right hand had involuntarily clenched into the hard wooden chair.

How could he not be heartbroken?

The Falcon Dragon Cavalry could be said to have been trained by him into absolute elites, playing a pivotal role on the battlefield countless times.

Each Falcon Dragon Knight was a hero of the Milan Empire, each possessing at least a Knight’s noble title.

And now, they had been wiped out without a single survivor.

The battle of Connie City, from any angle, was a great victory for the Milan Empire—wiping out four of the enemy’s main Legions and, more importantly, thwarting the enemy’s strategic intentions.

Naturally, Martin could guess the intention behind the Beastman Plundering Legion’s forceful push through the Burna Mountain Range.

He also deeply understood what this victory meant for the Milan Empire.
