Zither Emperor Chapter 355 108 Chapter Impossible Task Part 1_1

355: 108 Chapter Impossible Task (Part 1)_1 355: 108 Chapter Impossible Task (Part 1)_1 The Three Hundred Grim Reapers silently retreated into the forest under the lead of Ye Hongyan after Xi Duofu’s mand to disband was issued.

No one knew what they were going to do, and they didn’t even make a sound.

Xi Duofu brought Oliveira and Ye Yinzhu to a regular barrack.

“Starting tomorrow, Ye Hongyan will tell you how to train.

Ye Yinzhu, your task, along with Li Sha, is to protect those two hundred people as much as possible.

The Three Hundred Grim Reapers don’t need your protection.

After one month, I hope to see two hundred real warriors.”

Oliveira asked, “Marshal, can you tell us what the training involves?”

Xi Duofu said indifferently, “The training location is not here.

It will be a mission.

A surprise attack on the Thunder God Tribe.

My requirement is that you must at least bring back two thousand ears from the members of the Royal Lion Clan within Thor Hammer Fort.”

Oliveira gasped in shock, exclaimed, “What?

A surprise attack on Thor Hammer Fort?

And to kill two thousand Lion Man warriors?” Bringing back two thousand ears naturally meant killing their owners first.

Ye Yinzhu appeared much calmer than Oliveira; he had already guessed that the training Xi Duofu had for these people wouldn’t be simple.

Xi Duofu said coldly, “If you can’t even do this, then why bother going to Faran to seek death?

Since you have chosen to join this squad, you have already put life and death aside.

What difference does it make to die at the hands of a Beastman or in the hands of soldiers from other countries?

As I told Ye Yinzhu earlier, without the baptism of iron and blood, it is impossible to forge real warriors.

Asis will go with you, but like Li Sha, he will only cast healing magic and not participate in the fighting.

Tomorrow morning, you will set out.

You must return within a month; otherwise, don’t blame me for being cold-hearted and merciless.

In this month’s time, these five hundred people will be under the joint mand of you two, with Ye Yinzhu as the main mander and you, Oliveira, as the deputy.

Ye Hongyan will lead the Three Hundred Grim Reapers and obey your unified dispatch.

That’s all, you may go.

Yinzhu, early tomorrow morning, Haiyang will be brought here by Asis to depart with you.

Don’t forget your promise to me.

If faced with extreme danger, the Three Hundred Grim Reapers will prioritize protecting Haiyang as their first mand, even if it means defying you and Oliveira’s orders.

Understand?”

“Understood,” Ye Yinzhu calmly agreed.

After everything that had happened, he had grown a bit more unconsciously.

Xi Duofu left, and in the room, only Oliveira and Ye Yinzhu remained.

Oliveira sat down heavily on the bed in the barracks, “Yinzhu, how is it possible to plete such a task?

Not to mention a surprise attack on Thor Hammer Fort, even if we attempted a stealth attack on an outdoor army of two thousand Lion Men, our chances of victory wouldn’t be high.

As the ace of the Thunder God Tribe, the strength of the Lion Man warriors may not pare with the Behemoth Beast, but as natural warriors, they are one of the few races in the Beastman Clan able to use Douqi.

Killing two thousand is easier said than done.

The Thor Hammer Fort boasts an army of hundreds of thousands of Beastman!”

Ye Yinzhu said in a deep voice, “Grandfather Xi Duofu told me earlier that the five qualities a true warrior should have are bravery, wisdom, battle spirit, killing intent, and determination.

How can we know we can’t do it if we haven’t tried?

To plete this task, we must have the determination to win.

Believe in me, and believe in yourself; we can do it.”

After hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, the dejection in Oliveira’s heart gradually faded.

Yes!

By joining this squad, he was prepared to sacrifice for the Milan Empire.

This would be the best opportunity to train himself, and if successful, this honor would stay with him for life.

“Alright, let’s go all out.

Yinzhu, let’s start planning now.

A perfect plan is the first step to success.”

A slight smile appeared on Ye Yinzhu’s face, “That’s the Oliveira I know.

However, we should call one more person to discuss this together.”

Oliveira realized and said, “You’re talking about Ye Hongyan, the leader of the Three Hundred Grim Reapers?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and Oliveira got up to open it, only to see Ye Hongyan arriving.

“Brother Ye, we were just talking about you, and here you are.”

Ye Hongyan nodded and walked into the room.

His presence felt somewhat cold and stern, but amongst the Three Hundred Grim Reapers, Ye Yinzhu could feel that he was already one of the most humane.

“The Marshal has told me that for the uping month starting tomorrow, my brothers and I will follow your orders.”

Oliveira said, “So that means you also know what this mission entails?”

Ye Hongyan nodded again.

“I want to hear your opinion,” Oliveira said.

He knew very well that the main force for this mission was the Three Hundred Grim Reaper, and Ye Hongyan was undoubtedly the most familiar with them.

Under his mand alone could the Three Hundred Grim Reaper exhibit their strongest bat capabilities.

Ye Hongyan said indifferently, “I have no particular opinions.

Since the Marshal has ordered me to follow your mands, that’s what I’ll do.

I’ve never learned any tactics; the Marshal only taught us skills to kill.

For us, the Marshal’s orders are everything.”

With only killing skills to their name, the reputation of the Three Hundred Grim Reaper was not undeserved.

Oliveira sighed, “This is an impossible mission!

Time is the biggest issue.

From here to Thor Hammer Fort, even riding the Eric Minlongs at full speed, would take eight days, and the round trip totals sixteen days.

Even if we could mobilize five hundred Eric Minlongs from the military, we would have less than half a month left to attack Thor Hammer Fort.

Such a short time frame makes it questionable whether we can plete the mission, let alone encounter the two thousand Lion Men.”

A gleam flashed in Ye Hongyan’s eyes, “There is no mission that can’t be pleted.

This is what the Marshal wanted me to give to you.” As he spoke, he handed a letter to Ye Yinzhu.

Ye Yinzhu tore open the letter and read it together with Oliveira.

It was intelligence from the Sacred Heart City borders.

As they read the report, both of their eyes brightened.

The opportunity lay within this piece of intelligence.

Early the next morning, led by Ye Yinzhu, Ye Hongyan, and Oliveira, five hundred people set off on their journey.

Joining them were two Silver Dragons, and Haiyang, who had arrived early in the morning, was now seated on the broad back of Asis.

Without the Eric Minlongs, Grandfather Xi Duofu had sent news before they set off that they would have to plete this mission entirely on foot.

Upon receiving this news, everyone except for the Three Hundred Grim Reaper and Ye Yinzhu felt a shift in color.

This would undoubtedly be a long distance to cover!

On foot, relying solely on walking, how long would it take them to reach the Northernmost Wilderness?

It would be slightly better if it was just warriors, but among these five hundred people, there were also fifty mages.

After a brief discussion, Ye Yinzhu, leading an army for the first time, gave his first mand.

The four hundred and fifty warriors were to remove their armor and weapons and proceed lightly equipped.

The fifty mages were to be carried by warriors, with each warrior taking turns every hour.

In a short time, the best strategy Ye Yinzhu could e up with was just this.

The armor and weapons of the four hundred and fifty warriors amounted to quite a bit, but for the Sumeru Divine Ring, these only occupied a very small portion of the space.

Stimulated by the battle the day before, including the fifty mages, the two hundred men were shocked by the mission, but not a single one raised an objection.

Without a word, the five hundred people left the jurisdiction of Milan City and headed straight for the North.

Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang had not joined the marching group.

It wasn’t that he wanted to be lazy, but because he had more vital tasks to perform.

Thus, right from the start of the march, he took a seat on Asis.

Unlike the strict and efficient flight speed of Li Sha, Asis’s huge body flew steadily through the air, even releasing a wind attribute magic to form a protective realm so the winds in the sky could not affect Haiyang and Ye Yinzhu.

The Three Hundred Grim Reaper, led by Ye Hongyan, clad in black attire, followed at the rear of the column.

The other two hundred people, including the mages, led by Oliveira, ran at the front.

To reach the Northernmost Wilderness in a short period, they could not afford even the smallest delay and had to proceed at full speed.

The generally green rank strength of these warriors granted them extraordinary speed.

Along the mountain paths, they advanced as swiftly as if they were performing Star Jumps.

For a moment, their speed was even parable to that of the Eric Minlongs.

Unburdened by equipment and supplies, even warriors carrying others were not slowed in their progress.

“Haiyang, ‘Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song’,” Ye Yinzhu said from behind Haiyang as he took out his Great Sage’s Legacy Zither.

The warriors might have strong Douqi, but they were still humans after all, and humans could not pare to an agility-type earth dragon like the Eric Minlong in terms of body and stamina.

As impressive as their initial speed was, how long could they maintain it?

Oliveira was in charge of leading the team, but aside from helping them carry supplies and equipment, Ye Yinzhu’s more crucial role was to maintain the warriors’ endurance.

This was also the best opportunity for him to practice controlling his Zither Magic.

The Ancient Zither and the Great Sage’s Legacy Zither, with their clear and deep tones, resonated together as the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song” echoed through the air.

The azure magic radiance from Haiyang, upon the addition of Ye Yinzhu’s zither music, instantly turned purple.

Waves of purple halos spread throughout the sky, dispersing far and wide.
