Zither Emperor Chapter 267 Chapter 78 Thor's Hammer Fortress Lower _1

267: Chapter 78 Thor’s Hammer Fortress (Lower) _1 267: Chapter 78 Thor’s Hammer Fortress (Lower) _1 The moment of tension arrived, as they would soon be entering the fortress.

This part was indeed the most dangerous.

Should any of the six encounter an outsider, they would immediately bee visible.

Ye Yinzhu was gently rubbing the Sword of Nox on his right middle finger while Sura’s expression began to sharpen.

The three mages were all alert, ready to unleash the simplest of instant magic if their cover blew.

Though Zi appeared casual on the surface, the power of the Amethyst Behemoth within him could burst forth at any time.

The Thor Hammer Fort, this colossal fortress city, a culmination of the Thunder God Tribe’s thousand years of hard work, stood so lofty and grand.

The closer they were, the clearer the enormous oppressive force it radiated was felt.

Ye Yinzhu noticed that the closer they got to the Thor Hammer Fort, the thinner the magic elements in the air became.

As they were walking towards the fortress gate along the city wall, there were no elemental fluctuations in the atmosphere.

Luckily, the invisibility barrier granted by his enchantment was formed by magic crystal stones and controlled using his spiritual power.

It did not require assistance from the magic elements in the air.

Otherwise, they would have been discovered.

Despite being curious, Ye Yinzhu suppressed his questions as he couldn’t use his Douqi for munication.

In front of the fortress gate, two teams of robust Tiger People guards were strikingly tall.

With heights reaching three meters and robust bodies, no one would doubt their ability to tear apart an enemy’s body effortlessly.

They had no weapons because they didn’t need any.

The sharp claws hidden under their tiger paws, and the sharp teeth protruding from their lips, were the best instruments for hand-to-hand bat.

The Tiger People, being the king of beasts and one of the three Royal Clans of Beastman, was also the royal clan of the War God Tribe.

Likely, only the Thor Hammer Fort would assign tigers to gatekeeping duties.

This clearly showed the leading position of the Thunder God Tribe among the Beastman Clan.

The approaching Beastmen were various in appearance.

The differences in body sizes were tremendous as Ye Yinzhu’s party carefully started entering the city.

Suddenly, the ground in the distance started to shake.

Turning their heads, they saw a pair of rapidly approaching wolf riders charging towards the Thor Hammer Fort.

The glare in the eyes of the Captain of Thor Hammer Tigers, in charge of guarding the city gate, flashed dangerously.

He gave a loud cry, “Close the city gate.

No one is allowed to enter at the moment.” The Tiger People moved swiftly, retreating towards the city.

Apparently, these wolf riders did not belong to the Thunder God Tribe.

Judging from their badges, the battle flag held by the leading wolf rider had a large clear head imprinted on it, with a huge single horn, and special skin as dark as armor.

It astonishingly resembled seven parts of War Behemoth Glacis.

Zi had previously mentioned to Ye Yinzhu that, among the Four Sacred Beasts of Beastman, apart from the Amethyst Behemoth, the remaining three were the totems of the three great Beastman tribes.

The Gold Armor Forbidden Insect was the totem of the Solomon clan, the Mountain giant was the totem of the Thunder God Tribe, and War Behemoth was the totem of the War God Fortress.

Therefore, without question, the rapidly advancing wolf riders belonged to the War God Fortress.

As the swiftest mobile response army of the Beastman, the wolf riders were the mainstay of the three great Beastman tribes.

Based on eyeball judgment, roughly three thousand wolf riders were quickly approaching.

The battle flag leading them was light gold.

As the city gates were about to close, Ye Yinzhu didn’t dare to slack off.

He quickly signaled to Zi.

Following the Tigers who were rushing back into the city, the group of six started to run.

Unable to use magic or Douqi, they had to rely on their physical strength for running.

Sura was naturally not a problem.

Riding piggyback on Zi’s one arm, Ma Liang and Chang Hao, and Ye Yinzhu naturally carried Haiyang.

The group of six, at the last second before the city gates closed, successfully infiltrated the fortress.

The approaching wolf riders had caused the Beastmen preparing to enter the city to stop, providing them with this excellent opportunity.

The shrill howling of the wolves outside the fortress echoed.

Three thousand wolf riders howled simultaneously, the sound waves rolling over and over, clearly audible even across the thick walls of the fortress.

At this time, the thick city gates were pletely closed, and roars unique to the Beastman echoed from the top of the city, obviously municating something with the wolf riders outside.

There was no time to pay attention to these things.

Under the leadership of Zi, the group of six followed the street into the depths of the fortress.

Zi was clearly very familiar with this place; he led them around familiarly, and after a while, he had brought them to a place of bungalows through a secluded path.

“Chang Hao, you can cancel your invisibility barrier now.” Zi said.

Released from heavy burden, Chang Hao agreed and put away his chessboard.

Having maintained it for so long, his spiritual power was somewhat overloaded.

They hadn’t been in the Thor Hammer Fort for long and had only gleaned a basic understanding of the buildings there.

Generally speaking, stones could be found everywhere.

It seemed all homes were built from solid granite.

There was none of the grandeur and diversity of human world buildings, but the atmosphere here was more vigorous and solid.

Among them are high stone buildings, some even carved out of massive boulders.

Zi and everyone else came to a bungalow.

He looked around and saw no one paying attention.

He then leaped up, flipped over the wall, and went in.

With a screeching sound, the stone gate of the bungalow slowly opened.

Zi beckoned everyone in.

The courtyard was small, only about twenty square meters.

There were three bungalows in the courtyard, all made of stone, giving a feeling of solidity.

“Zi, is this your home?” Ye Yinzhu asked curiously.

Zi’s divine eyes darkened, “No.

This is the home of a friend of mine.

Initially, he sacrificed himself to cover my escape and has already passed on.

Despite his lesser status as a Leopard Man, he and I had grown up playing together since we were children.

I still remember that when he was ten years old, he had already grown very tall, while I was still just a child.

When my identity as the Amethyst Behemoth was revealed, it implicated him.

For now, this place can serve as our base.

As it’s getting late, everyone should rest for now.

We’ll leave the fortress tomorrow.”

The stone house door was unlocked.

As everyone entered, they saw that the layout in all three rooms was similar — simple stone beds, tables, and chairs with no extra items, making it all feel empty.

Ma Liang asked curiously, “Zi, is all of the Beastmen’s life so austere?”

Zi shook his head, “Not at all.

It’s just that there was no sense in keeping anything after my friend’s death, so everything was sold.

You must have seen some of the Fortress buildings when you entered the city.

Simply put, the Beastmen’s societal hierarchy is even more strict than that of humans.

The Three Great Royal Clans have the highest status, and within these royal clans there are major families who hold the highest authority.

For example, Lion King Family of Chieftain Guti of the Thunder God Tribe, they have always controlled the Thunder God Tribe.

Below the royal clans are the major warrior tribes, such as the Giant Ape People, Wolf People, and others.

They are like human mon nobles, with many advantages.

A Beastman’s status is directly related to their own strength, and even weak members of the royal family are despised.

However, ordinary civilians who are strong among the non-warrior tribes can also achieve high positions.

In the fortress, the larger the building one lives in, the higher their Beastman status.

Here, status can be distinguished solely by housing.”

Ye Yinzhu contemplated, “Zi, I remember reading that the Beastman Clan is a slave system, right?”

Zi nodded, “Yes.

Beastmen are actually hybrid beings created from humans and magical beasts.

All ordinary wild animals and magical beasts serve as our slaves, except for wisdom-type Demon Beasts.

Among Beastmen, except for the superior status of the Behemoth Giant Beasts, the strength of other Beastmen is determined by the number of slaves they possess.

Of course, the slaves of Beastmen also include some low-rank Beastmen, like Pig People, Horse People, etc., they might also bee slaves depending on their tribe’s situation.”

Zi’s brief introduction could not give a detailed understanding of the basic situation of the Beastmen.

On a superficial level, the Beastman system seemed even more plex than the humans’.

Zi said, “You should rest here for now.

Yinzhu, let’s go out for a walk.

We need to prepare some things if we want to leave the fortress.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, “Okay.

Sula, we will count on you here.”

Sula nodded, “Go ahead.” With a flash, his slender body was already on the roof like a puff of smoke, disappearing into the dark corner.

Haiyang whispered, “Yinzhu, be careful.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly, “There will be no problems, don’t worry.”

Ye Yinzhu and Zi walked out of the stone house, slowly walking towards the outside.

By this time, the sky had pletely darkened, and the bright moon in the sky was extraordinarily bright, except for a faint smell of blood in the air.

“Zi, don’t think too much.

One day, you will bee the master here.” Having the same life contract, Ye Yinzhu naturally sensed the melancholy in Zi’s heart and forted her in a low voice.

Zi shook her head, “It’s not because of this that I feel sad, but because of the backwardness of the Beastmen.

pared to the Human World, everything about us Beastmen is too simple.

The civilization that originally belonged to them cannot be developed at all, and even maintains the outdated slave system.

This is the most developed city of the Beastmen but pared to the human cities I have visited, the difference is just too vast.

In terms of overall bat power, Beastmen don’t know how much stronger they are than humans.

However, they can only stand in one corner and are never able to break through the restrictions of the Northernmost Wilderness.

This is directly related to the short-sightedness of the rulers.”

Listening to Zi’s words, Ye Yinzhu thoughtfully said, “Maybe that’s balance.

If there was a race on the continent that was exceptionally strong in all aspects, how would other races survive?

The strength of humans lies in wisdom, while the strength of Beastmen lies in their bodies.

Similarly dominant entities like the Dragon Clan are limited by number, aren’t your Behemoth siblings the same?

Only when there are various restrictions can the races on the continent balance each other, and development can be better.

Don’t think too much.

If you want to change all of this, you’ll have to wait until you bee the true ruler of the Beastmen.”
