Zither Emperor Chapter 359 Chapter 109 Battle is the Best Practice Part 1

359: Chapter 109: Battle is the Best Practice (Part 1) 359: Chapter 109: Battle is the Best Practice (Part 1) One hundred and fifty Earth Warriors and fifty Grand Archmages, among the younger generation of Milan, the strongest nation on the Continent, were also the most outstanding talents.

After one night of slaughter, with their eyes stained red by blood, these young people’s aura had undergone a clear change.

Without any pause or explanation, as dawn approached, out of the thirty-seven outposts, seventeen had been thoroughly cleared, leaving no trace of Beastmen on those seventeen peaks.

Climbing seventeen peaks and launching surprise attacks on seventeen outposts in one night had pushed these warriors to their physical limits.

Now they fully understood why Ye Yinzhu had emphasized that every bit of strength was so important, and at the same time, they no longer sought flashy attacks or dazzling displays of Douqi.

As battle after battle continued, they did everything they could to conserve every ounce of energy.

Xi Duofu was right, it was only in real war and slaughter that a warrior could grow faster.

At this moment, Ye Yinzhu, Oliveira, and Ye Hongyan, leading five hundred people, rested at the location of the seventeenth outpost they had destroyed.

The sky was gradually brightening.

All five hundred warriors and mages were in a state of plete rest.

Whether it was the Three Hundred Grim Reapers or the warriors and mages who had toughened up over these seven days, they all understood that every second of rest was critically important when surrounded by the enemy.

Ye Yinzhu, Oliveira, and Ye Hongyan sat together in a circle.

“According to the terrain of these mountain ranges on the map, there are still twenty peaks, meaning there are twenty more outposts.

Dawn is approaching, and we’re running out of time.

Once it’s light, according to the habits of the Beastmen, the outposts should municate with each other.

Once they discover the outposts we have taken down, the Beastman Army will probably attack right away.

We can either retreat now or force a breakthrough.

But once we reveal our tracks in the Northernmost Wilderness, we will bee a target for everyone,” Oliveira analyzed the current situation succinctly and directly.

Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Without the cover of night and the Beastmen sunk in sleep, a surprise attack is no longer possible.

If this mountain range has, as we deduced, a total of thirty-seven outposts guarded by Beastmen, plus the various traps and ambushes in the mountains, it can hold off an imperial army’s attack for some time.

Thus, the Beastmen would not station a large army here, at least not within the mountain range.

If there is no munication between the outposts, the Beastmen will definitely send someone to check, which will take time.

Conservatively estimating, we have at least three more hours to act.

To plete the mission, we cannot retreat.

Now, there is only one option left.

To attack forcefully.”

Speaking of a forceful attack, Ye Yinzhu’s gaze became noticeably sharp, his seven days of trekking and continuous use of the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song” had honed his spiritual power significantly.

Although his Zither Magic and Zhu Douqi had not improved noticeably, he had made quite some progress in controlling both magic and Douqi.

His elegant visage now bore a hint of weathering as he was undergoing the transformation from boy to man.

Hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, Oliveira frowned, “Are you sure you want to force an attack?

With our current strength, we can certainly enter the Northernmost Wilderness, but then we will immediately fall into the encirclement of the Beastmen.

With no supply lines and deep in enemy territory, this is a great taboo in warfare.

Yinzhu, think it through.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “I understand your concerns.

Although the situation is not in our favor, we also have our own advantages.

First, for the Beastmen to annihilate us, they would need to send at least ten times our number, and looking at the numbers, our five hundred might not be many, but that is also an advantage.

In such a vast territory as the Northernmost Wilderness, we are no more than a drop in the ocean.

As long as we can get out of sight of the Beastman pursuers in the shortest time, it won’t be easy for the Beastman Army to catch us.

Secondly, because of our individual strength, if we encounter a small number of Beastman troops, we can immediately annihilate them.

Roaming in the Northernmost Wilderness, as long as we can make use of various situations, we have a plete chance of surviving.

You don’t have to worry about supplies; the food and water in my Space Ring will last for a month.

If we cannot plete the mission and return intact within a month, then, the Northernmost Wilderness will be our burial ground.”

Ye Yinzhu’s words were resolute, and the do-or-die tone immediately resonated with Ye Hongyan, who nodded in agreement.

Although Oliveira thought Ye Yinzhu’s decision was a bit rash, he had no better alternative and thus said, “We have no choice but to do so now, hoping that we do not attract the attention of the Beastman Army.

A five hundred man army shouldn’t make the Beastmen send a corps level force after us.” What made him agree with Ye Yinzhu’s decision was the presence of two adult Silver Dragons in the sky.

With these two rank Nine Beasts, Oliveira believed that in the face of real danger, the Silver Dragons would not stand idly by.

What Ye Yinzhu did not say was that, with the help of the Amethyst Sphere and his Life Storage Gem, if they truly faced a large-scale encirclement by the enemy and could not escape, with enough time to set up a Magic Formation, he was confident he could transport everyone off the battlefield.

Of course, that was a last resort and the method Ye Yinzhu hoped most not to use.

The more hidden his contingency plans in the Northernmost Wilderness were, the better.

“Rest.

In two hours, we shall initiate our action,” Ye Yinzhu decided after confirming their subsequent course of action and immediately entered a state of cultivation.

Leveraging his ability as a Foreign Silver Dragon, he could sense that Li Sha and Asis were circling overhead, waiting for their move.

Two hours later, five hundred men quietly departed from the seventeenth outpost—more precisely, five hundred “Grim Reapers” filled with a killing intent.

Led by Ye Yinzhu and two others, they no longer scattered to attack the outposts but, like a sharp dagger, charged directly toward the Northernmost Wilderness.

As they reached the midpoint of their first target, they were discovered by the patrolling Beastman Soldiers above.

Shrill whistle sounds continuously resonated from the mountaintop, and whether it was because their numbers were too few, the Beastmen at the outpost did not light the signal fires but instead let out ferocious roars.

Ye Yinzhu calmly shouted, “Mages.”

The mages, carried by fifty Grim Reaper members, immediately perked up.

Throughout the journey, they had always been a burden to the group.

Hearing Ye Yinzhu calling them, they knew their chance to perform had finally e.

“Fireball Technique, carpet-bomb the mountaintop,” he ordered simply.

Thanks to the mages’ control over the Fireball Technique, the moment the warriors carrying them reached the range for a magic attack, the scene that had once blasted the Grim Reaper reappeared.

Fifty green fireballs soared into the sky and, under precise control, rained down on the mountaintop outpost like fifty cannonballs.

Having decided to break into the Northernmost Wilderness as quickly as possible, they could not afford any delay, and at this moment, the mages, with their enormous area of effect, undoubtedly played a key role.

Green rank signified a Grand Archmage, and among these fifty young Fire Mages, the strongest were even Advanced Rank Grand Archmages, that is, Advanced Rank Green rank.

When the fifty Green rank fireballs bombarded the mountaintop, the Beastmen, unable to use magic, did not possess the Grim Reapers’ ability to cope with these fireballs.

Almost instantly, along with a slew of shrill roars and screams, the mountaintop had bee a sea of fire.

Oliveira and Ye Yinzhu exchanged a glance and Oliveira said with a smile, “Looks like we’ll have roasted meat to eat this time.

Let’s just hope that the Lion Man’s ears weren’t burnt off.” The task of killing two thousand Lion Men had been pleted at seventeen outposts before this.

The collective might of the fifty Grand Archmages firing fireballs was unquestionably terrifying; even Blue rank Mages, two ranks higher, would not dare to face them head-on.

Unsurprisingly, when Ye Yinzhu and the rest reached the mountaintop, they found a world of roasted meat.

Unfortunately, Oliveira’s grim prediction was right on the mark—the Lion Men’s Captain was burnt to a crisp, not to mention his ears, his body, obliterated by the fireballs.

The Beastmen’s tendency to catch fire easily made the Fire Mages their nemesis.

The reason the Beastmen, having occupied the Northernmost Wilderness, could not invade the Human World was not due to the threat of the Dragon Clan, but because of the presence of Mages!

With the tactic used for the first mountain assault, the second and third outposts ended under the barrage of fireballs from the mages as well—an attack no less powerful than that of a large-scale magic like the Meteor Shower.

Three outposts, three hundred Beastmen, how could they possibly stand a chance?

They didn’t even delay Ye Yinzhu’s five hundred men for a moment.

From the previously occupied seventeenth outpost to the entrance into the Northernmost Wilderness, as they took the straightest line, they needed to cross four mountain peaks.

The first three were crossed smoothly, but as they arrived at the fourth peak, the last barrier to the Northernmost Wilderness, they found the surrounding Beastmen outposts had reacted.

At least one thousand Beastmen from all directions were rushing toward this Beastmen mountain.

It was clear that the warriors from the remaining dozen or so outposts, utilizing the time Ye Yinzhu’s group spent clearing traps en route, had encircled the five hundred men in a loose encirclement.

Leopard People and Ape Men, adept climbers among Beastmen, while not as fast as the five hundred Milan Warriors who had at least Yellow-rank Douqi, were not much slower.
