548: Chapter 171: Qin City, the Unknown Variable in War (Part 3)_1 548: Chapter 171: Qin City, the Unknown Variable in War (Part 3)_1 Ye Yinzhu chuckled and said, “I understand your dissatisfaction.
Glacis, I do not wish for you to just be with us because of the Soul Fire in the future, but hope that we can work together.
I apologize for not letting you eat properly these past few days.”
Glacis’s mood improved slightly, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, you can ask me to do anything, but if you keep me from eating, how can you expect me to function?
My strength is at least two thirds less than when I first left the Ice Ring.
I haven’t experienced such exhaustion in many years.
Look, my stomach has even shrunk.
Without enough food to pensate for exhaustive consumption of energy, how am I supposed to survive?!”
Ye Yinzhu looked at Glacis’s towering figure towering over him, and said, “All right, no need to feel wronged.
How about this, I promise you that from now on, I will make sure to keep you full every day, so full that you won’t be able to eat anymore.
That should resolve any plaints, right?”
Upon hearing Ye Yinzhu’s pledge, Glacis’s eyes lit up, and the previous languid mood disappeared immediately.
“Really?
Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor.
As long as you fill me up, anything is negotiable.
I am aware of my gluttonous tendencies, but that is the nature of us War Behemoths.
Ming and I are different, given that his body contains a lot of rock position.
In many cases, he only needs to absorb enough energy and special substances from stones.
But we War Behemoths have to eat a lot of food.
The fat stored in my stomach can only last at most three or four days.
I would have sought you out if you didn’t find me.
If you do not feed me properly, at least fill me halfway, for I fear I may not be able to resist attacking someone nearby.
I do enjoy the taste of bear paws.”
Ye Yinzhu glared at Glacis, “Have you forgotten what I told you?
Alright, stop plaining to me.
Wait for the night to fall, then you can e with me, I’ll take you out to eat.
I guarantee you will be satiated.
You won’t even have the chance to refuse.”
Glacis patted his shrunken belly, exclaiming with excitement, “What are we waiting for until nightfall?
Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, let’s go now.”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, “No, we must wait until the night.”
As dusk quietly fell, Ye Yinzhu handed over temporary mand of the Qin City bined Corps to Oliveira and Ye Hongyan.
After a brief secret meeting, he quietly left the troops with War Behemoth Glacis, Mountain Giant Ming, and Zi, heading in a different direction.
The three Divine Beasts traveled at rapid speed.
Although they were not capable of flying, their powerful strength allowed them to leap and advance across the ground like lightning.
It was much easier for Ye Yinzhu, with his Red Spirit unfolding two wings behind him.
By giving a portion of his Douqi to the Red Spirit, he was able to maintain a steady flight speed and hover over the heads of the three Divine Beasts.
Under the cover of darkness, they slowly moved away in one direction.
Among the three Divine Beasts, Glacis was running the fastest.
Glacis didn’t lie.
He was indeed exhausted from not eating enough these days, but thinking about getting something to eat soon, he ran with even more spirit, outrunning Zi and Ming.
After a while, tens of kilometers had passed under their feet.
Glacis lifted his head and asked Ye Yinzhu, who was hovering in the air, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, didn’t you say you were going to take me out to dine?
We have been out for quite a while, why haven’t I seen any food yet?”
Ye Yinzhu gestured to Glacis for quiet, “Be quiet, we are almost at the place where you will eat.”
From a distance, they could see a vast stretch of brightly lit up area, extended for dozens of kilometers and appeared to have no end in sight.
The sky had just darkened, and even though they were still some distance away, sounds of people and horses could be clearly heard.
Acpanied by plumes of cooking smoke, it seemed as if they were preparing meals.
Ye Yinzhu signaled the three great Divine Beasts to stop and he himself descended to the ground, retracting the wings transformed by the Red Spirit.
“We should be here.
What an impressive sight.” Ye Yinzhu’s face broke into a smile of satisfaction.
Not only did he silently admire the accurate information of the Raptor Druid, but the information about this location also matched exactly.
War Behemoth Glacis curiously asked, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, what place is this?”
In a low voice Ye Yinzhu replied, “We have entered the borders of Flore Kingdom.
Look, this large camp is located between two hills that are less than two hundred meters high.
The dense watchtowers on the hills can detect enemies approaching from any direction.
Excluding the logistic troops here, there are over fifty thousand stationed soldiers.
Considering Flore’s high level of alert, can you guess what kind of place this is?”
Glacis shook his head and said, “I don’t care what place it is, Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor.
All I know is that I am already starving.
You are not suggesting I am going to eat people, are you?
Hehe.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “Of course not.”
A purple gleam flashed in Zi’s eyes.
“You just mentioned a rear supply unit; is this the Flore Kingdom’s supply line?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Yes, this is the largest granary of the Flore Kingdom’s 500,000 strong army invading the Milan Empire.
As you can see, the defense constructions here weren’t built in a day or two.
If my guess is correct, this should be a supply station set up by the Flore Kingdom to attack the Milan Empire, much like our situation in East Wind City.
The only difference is that Flore lacks a city, so they have a camp instead.
It’s not that the Flore Kingdom can’t establish a supply station in a city, it’s that they disdain the Milan Empire’s Eastern Military corps, they undoubtedly believe that the eastern region of the Milan Empire does not possess the power to strike at them.
Hence, they build this transit station directly on the borders between the two countries so as to facilitate faster resupply.
Can you imagine the magnitude of providing support for an army of 500,000?
Glacis, do you think such a granary would be enough for one of your meals?”
“Enough, enough.” Glacis excitedly shouted.
His eyes shone like two yellow crystal cores, and his drool almost flowed out.
He raised his feet, prepared to charge out.
“What are you doing?” Ye Yinzhu grabbed Glacis.
Glacis halted, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, didn’t you say that I could feast in their granary?
Why are we still waiting?
Let’s just charge in.”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head with a smile, “Weren’t you just saying that you were running low on energy?
If that’s the case, how could I let you waste more energy.
Soon, you’ll have your food without any further exhaustion.”
Glacis was surprised, “Really?”
Ye Yinzhu opened his right hand, revealing the pink life storage gem “e, all of you, please enter here.
I will take you there now.”
Zi nodded.
The three divine beasts transformed into three rays of lights and merged into the gemstone.
After the three Divine Beasts disappeared into the life storage gemstone, only Ye Yinzhu was left in the place.
He looked up at the sky and smirked, his arms lit up.
Under the suppression of his Zi Zhu Douqi, these two dazzling lights did not diffuse.
Bending his body slightly, Ye Yinzhu disappeared from the scene, leaving behind only a black cave that no one would notice.
Starting at this moment, the military actions of Qin City against the Flore Kingdom had officially begun.
As Ye Yinzhu predicted, this camp was indeed the Flore Kingdom’s military supply center.
If there were anyone in the Landias camp, other than the Landias Empire itself, who wished for the fall of Milan the most, it would be the traitorous Flore Kingdom.
Of all the countries on the continent, Flore shared the longest border line with the Milan Empire.
The people of Flore knew well that if Landias did not win this war, the Milan Empire would never let them be.
Therefore, the Flore Kingdom mobilized everything for this war.
They assembled an elite army of 500,000 to launch a formidable attack on the Milan Empire from the east.
They also amassed a large amount of supplies from the entire nation.
In addition to the supplies promised to the Beastman Clan by Landias, the Flore Kingdom established a specific logistic supply group army.
Twenty thousand reservist soldiers were tasked with carrying supplies, providing uninterrupted support to the army at the front.
The logistics of such large-scale supplies were obviously plex.
To efficiently send supplies to the front, this logistic supply center was established even before the outbreak of the war.
Supplies from various places would be continuously sent here, then from here to the warfront.
At this point, other than about a hundred thousand logistic soldiers currently transporting supplies to the front line, the remaining one hundred thousand were all in the logistic supply center.
In any war, logistic supplies are the most important aspect, something the Flore mander understood quite well.
As a result, this place, as the linchpin of logistic supply, was designed like a temporary fortress.
The two hills, each over two hundred meters high on either side, served as natural barriers, while walls made from a mixture of earth, stone, and wooden fences surrounded the front and back.
A formidable force of fifty thousand was stationed here, benefiting from the natural defences.
It was not just difficult for the Milan Empire to attack this place, even if the entire Milan Eastern Legion came here, it wouldn’t be possible to defeat the garrison in a short amount of time.
In the eyes of the Flore mander, the defence here was undoubtedly unassailable.
It was due to the stability at the rear that the Flore mander could wage an all-out war on the Milan Empire without concerns.
