545: Chapter 170: Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry (Lower) _1 545: Chapter 170: Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry (Lower) _1 Ye Yinzhu forced a wry smile and said, “What can I do?
As a War Behemoth, Glacis’s appetite is as terrifying as his bat strength.
My humble house in Qin City can’t afford to feed him.”
Sura asked, “Why did you bring him then?
You can’t always starve him.”
Ye Yinzhu chuckled and said, “I didn’t promise to fill his belly when I brought him back from the Frosty Forest.
Someone will provide his food for me now that I’ve brought him out with me.”
Sura’s eyes lit up as she understood Ye Yinzhu’s meaning, “Yin Zhu, you are being too…”
Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently and said, “Too unscrupulous, right?
I was forced into all of this.
I now understand that saying more and more; sometimes, you really have no choice.
To be honest, I never thought of being a ruler.
Even less did I dream of being the regent of Eastern Dragon.
pared to these, I would prefer to travel around the continent to gain more insights and improve my zither skills after graduating from Milan.
Of course, it would be great if I could have you by my side.
But can I still do that?
The responsibilities Qin City brings are too heavy.
After this war with Flore, we have even more important things to do.”
Seeing the helplessness in her beloved’s eyes, Sura couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.
She had wanted to reveal her true identity to Ye Yinzhu more than once, but every time she thought of her freedom only lasting one more year, she had to suppress her impulse.
She really didn’t have her own will!
Soon after Oliveira had contacted the various factions in Milan, she passed on the news to Ye Yinzhu.
There was news not only from the Eastern and Northern Legions but also the main battlefield.
On Milan’s main battlefield against Landias, due to the disparity in military strength, Marshall Xi Duofu decisively focused on defensive contraction.
Giving up part of the Milan border, he built a solid defensive line with seven border towns located not far apart to temporarily resist the attacks of Landias and Bo Pang troops.
The war between the Palermo Kingdom and Polly’s Kingdom has also reached a stalemate.
The fights between these two countries are not something that can be finished in a short time.
When there is not much difference in national power, the initial intensity of the battle will certainly lead to stability.
Then, it will be a test of resources, financial capacity and talents.
The stability on the main battlefield made Ye Yinzhu relax a little.
The Northern Legion, led by Martin, did not send any bad news.
Although the two major tribes of the Beastman Clan had assembled all their troops, including the Army of Behemoth that consisted of hundreds of Behemoth Beasts.
But it is unrealistic for the Beastmen to conquer the Milan Northern Corps manded by Shield of Milan without a Mage.
Of course, Ye Yinzhu didn’t know that Landias’ request to the Beastman was just to hold back the Northern Legion and not allow the powerful Milan army to send even a single soldier to help the main battlefield.
Oliveira’s judgment was very correct.
The most critical battle still occurred in the East.
The Eastern Military Corps, which rarely fought on the battlefield, was continuously defeated under the full attack of Flore’s Army.
Flore’s Army had already entered Milan territory.
The Milan Eastern Legion was now mimicking Marshal Xi Duofu’s strategy, they constructed a not-so-tight defense line based on a few neighboring cities to barely slow down Flore’s advancement.
But no one knows how long they can hold on.
According to the information sent by the Eastern Military Corps, Flore’s elite Blood Color Guard, consisting of 10,000 men, was now rushing towards the front line.
Ye Yinzhu looked up at the sky, “It seems that we have to speed up our march.
If the Milan Eastern Legion collapses before we reach the frontline of Eastern Border, we won’t be able to turn things around.
After all, that’s an army of 500,000.”
…
Landias Empire.
A tall, handsome man sat erectly on the coveted throne in the imperial palace, his face revealing a faint smile.
This man was tall and broad-shouldered, his semi-long blue hair spread out on his shoulders.
Although he was over sixty years old, he only appeared to be in his fifties.
His long phoenix eyes emitted an imposing stare.
He was dressed in the Black Phoenix’s royal robe, symbolizing the supreme status of the Landias Emperor.
His head was uncrowned, only a headband was on his forehead.
If Ye Yinzhu were here, he would undoubtedly notice that this man and the Black Phoenix had many similarities.
The only difference was that this man had a much gloomier aura.
This was the real Emperor of Landias, Maximus Moratti, the Emperor Moratti who together with Emperor Sylvio of Milan was known as two great Emperors of the Ryuzakinus Continent.
The Moratti family, ever since the establishment of the Landias Empire, has been very talented.
Every generation of emperors was not only an excellent ruler but also a rare strongman.
This was because the Moratti family had the bloodline of the Black Phoenix and possessed the powerful strength given by the Black Phoenix.
The current Emperor Maximus, who was the father of the familiar Black Phoenix for Ye Yinzhu, was also the initiator of the chaos on the Ryuzakinus Continent.
A real conspirator.
Having ruled for over thirty years, Maximo had been waiting for the present moment wherein the Landias Royal Clan and the Moratti Family under his mand had pletely suppressed the Milan Empire.
Although the overall battle situation had slightly deviated, most of it was in the grasp of this present emperor.
In his left hand, Moratti was pulling an exquisitely made crystal goblet.
The dark red wine inside the crystal goblet swayed subtly, like fresh blood, emitting a tempting grape fragrance.
This was Moratti’s habit.
Whenever he was in high spirits, he would drink a glass of robust red wine during court meetings.
At this moment, the mood of the Landias officials was exceptionally good.
The retreat of the Milan’s southern front had expanded Landias’s territory by two percent.
Although this increase in territory meant nothing to the Milan Empire, it was undoubtedly a good start.
The Landias and Bo Pang Allied Forces, with their numbers far greater than their opponents, had the opposition gasping for air.
Moratti took a sip of the red wine in his hand and said with a smile, “Let’s hear the current battle situation from our Minister of Military Affairs.”
Landias Empire Minister of Military Affairs, Krespo, took a step forward from the front row of the officials.
As the leader of the bat faction under Moratti, the current situation on the Continent undoubtedly thrilled the Minister of Military Affairs.
“Praise Falan, praise Landias.
With the Emperor’s brilliant leadership, the military situation is currently in excellent condition.” A hint of bloodthirsty glee flashed in Krespo’s eyes.
Krespo was a renowned mander himself.
However, for many years, his reputation had been overshadowed by the two marshals of the Milan Empire.
Everyone knew about the Shield of Milan and the Spear of Milan, but no one had ever noticed him.
Now that Landias finally had a chance to deploy troops against Milan, although Krespo had already risen to the position of Minister of Military Affairs, he had never forgotten the humiliation of the past, nor was he less enthusiastic than Maximo about destroying Milan.
“According to reports from all parties, currently on the Milan northern front, the Three Great Tribes of our allied Beastman Tribe have successfully held back the main forces of the Northern Legion of the Milan Empire and the Ascoli Kingdom.
They have at least made over 600,000 elites of the Milan Empire unable to reinforce the war on the southern and eastern fronts.
Moreover, on our country’s northern line, we also hold an overwhelming advantage against the frontal confrontation with the Milan Empire.
With the allied forces of our country and the Bo Pang Kingdom, our total force is at least one time larger than that of Milan.
Meanwhile, our country and the Bo Pang Kingdom have sent out their most capable troops, which are obviously superior to those of Milan’s weak troops.
At least half of the Southern Military Corps of Milan Empire consists of new recruits whose bat effectiveness is far inferior.
Although under Xi Duofu’s leadership, they have built a relatively solid defense line based on the border towns of Milan, I believe that as long as our forces continue to apply pressure, even if it is a war of attrition, we will be able to pletely collapse their southern legion within a few months.
Of course, this is currently the most conservative estimate.”
Emperor Maximo finished the red wine in his glass in one gulp, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, “What about the eastern front?
What progress has the Flore Kingdom made?”
A somewhat excited Crespo said: “The war on the Flore front is currently our most powerful one.
The Eastern Military Corps of the Milan Empire is just a mere force of 200,000 men, and they are all inexperienced troops who have long been off the battlefield.
With the Flore Kingdom’s full force, mainly posed of the mighty forces that had fought against the War God Tribe of Beastman in the past, we have now entered the Milan Empire.
Although the Eastern Military Corps of the Milan Empire is still barely defending, according to the news from the Flore Kingdom, they will be pletely defeated within a month.
Once Flore succeeds, the internal and external attacks of our country and our allies will undoubtedly cause the Milan’s battle lines to pletely collapse in a short time.”
A faint smile emerged at the corner of Maximo’s mouth, “I hope the people of Flore don’t keep me waiting too long.”
Although in the imperial hall, there were quite a few Landias ministers who were hesitant about the war, no one would provoke Maximo given the current advantageous situation.
“Your Majesty, a new batch of grain and fodder supplies, including three thousand cartloads of grain borrowed from Acadia, has been prepared,” the Minister of Wealth, Teddy, timingly brought a piece of good news.
Indeed, the smile in Maximo’s eyes turned into a somewhat uncontrollable excitement, “Good, Teddy, you are doing well.
I know that you have always been worried about the great consumption of national power in this war.
But don’t forget, the Milan Empire is known as the land of plenty.
Once we invade the hinterland of Milan, will we still need to worry about supplies?
Waging war for supplies is my real goal.
Krespo.”
“Servant, here,” Krespo bowed and replied.
Maximo spoke in a deep voice, “Pass on my order.
mand Marshal Cruz to lead the northern expeditionary force to launch a large-scale general offensive against the Southern Military Corps of the Milan Empire.
We must not give the Southern Military Corps any chance to aid the Eastern Front.
Also, send magical messages to the Beastman Tribes, to intensify their attacks.
Tell them, if the Flore Kingdom sees any soldiers from the Northern Military Corps, then what we promised to the Beast Men will be reduced.
Oh, by the way, Teddy, how are the supplies for the three major tribes of beastmen, supported by the Flore Kingdom?”
