571: Chapter 179 The Splendor of Magic (Part 1) 571: Chapter 179 The Splendor of Magic (Part 1) Through the connection of their spirits, Ye Yinzhu knew that Zi hadn’t exhausted too much and was ready for another fight at any time, but Zi had secretly told Ye Yinzhu that Ming’s previous actions were a bit impetuous, and the excessive consumption had already made the mountain giant somewhat weak.
It would be impossible for him to recover to his optimal state in a short period of time.
Now, they could only rely on themselves.
Flore’s army advanced rapidly.
This time, they pushed forward until they were only five miles away from Sifuerte City before stopping.
The boundless army of Flore seemed endless, pletely surrounding Sifuerte City from five miles away.
The siege equipment gradually moved forward, and in an instant, the people of Flore made their move.
This time, it was not a tentative attack.
Flore launched an assault with at least sixty thousand warriors, charging at Sifuerte City from three sides.
Behind them, a large number of burial troops moved again, and at the same time, countless magic spells flew towards the city walls.
The full-scale attack of the Flore people had finally begun.
Three hundred Blood Mages revealed their prowess among the troops, a haze of blood mist spreading out in front of Sifuerte City, forming a blood fog zone.
Any Flore soldiers charging towards Sifuerte City would pass through this blood fog and, upon entering a bloodthirsty state, accelerate their rush forward.
At the same time, under the protection of two large squads of the Blood Color Guard, five hundred mages began to bombard the city walls with a carpet bombing of spells.
Although advanced magic was rare, the simultaneous casting of mid-to-low-level magic by five hundred mages was extremely terrifying.
For a time, the sky was enveloped by rainbow lights, even obscuring the sunlight with a halo of magic.
Marshal Ancelotti bellowed, “Mages, defend.”
It was natural that the Eastern Military Corps had mages too.
Although they couldn’t pare with the thousands of mages in the Northern Legion, as the Number One Empire of the Continent, Milan’s greatest advantage lay in its mages.
Three hundred mages appeared neatly behind the city walls, casting hundreds of defensive spells that contrasted sharply with the attacking magic.
They deployed layers of defensive barriers over the ramparts of Sifuerte City, barely holding off the enemy’s attacks.
Due to the presence of Blood Mages, to prevent magic absorption by the enemy, Milan’s mages also had to hide behind the walls, making their defensive magic even less targeted and more difficult to maintain.
The intense collision of magic caused the magical fluctuations in the air to bee extremely chaotic.
The huge energy fluctuations made everyone’s hearts tremble, and the arrows shot by archers seemed less forceful.
Whether it was soldiers who had rarely fought on the battlefield or seasoned veterans, no one could remain calm in the face of terrifyingly powerful spells exploding close by.
Who could keep a calm heart under such circumstances?
Of course, not everyone lacked calm.
Ye Yinzhu was the exception.
Watching the continuous eruption of magic, he slightly furrowed his brows.
As a Zi rank Mage, he was very clear about the current strength parison of magic between the two sides.
If the situation continued like this, within half an hour their magical defense would certainly collapse, and by then, it would probably also be the time when the City Moat was filled and the Flore people launched a full-scale attack.
To hold the city, it was necessary to deal with these opposing mages.
“Yin Zhu, let me do it.
I think, at the very least, I can take out a bunch of their mages,” Sura said, as the person most familiar with Ye Yinzhu.
She naturally knew what he was thinking and understood the urgency in his heart.
“No,” Ye Yinzhu blurted out almost reflexively.
He would rather risk himself than let Sura risk being deep within the enemy’s formation.
Not to mention Sura’s strength was far from his own, even if he were to lead the Dong Long Soldiers out again, it was doubtful they would return alive.
At this time, the Flore people seemed to have gone mad, pressing forward with hundreds of thousands of troops, recklessly filling in the City Moat.
The water in the moat had already been channeled out through two excavated trenches, and it wouldn’t be long before the land before Sifuerte City was flat.
The distance from Ye Yinzhu’s position to the opposing mages was actually not too close.
Casting magic required a certain distance for safety, but this condition wasn’t too applicable in a magic legion, as with the five hundred mages before them, who could use a special method called ‘Magic Propulsion’ to cast spells.
This meant that out of five hundred people casting spells, one hundred could use their magic to propel the spells of the other four hundred, significantly increasing the distance they could cast.
However, the accuracy of the spells could not be guaranteed.
What Ye Yinzhu and his group had encountered outside the city before was precisely this situation.
At this moment, the enemy mages were far outside the range of their own long-range firepower, and with the Blood Color Guard in front, there was almost no opportunity for a successful defense.
If he were to charge out and attempt a sneak attack now, he would probably be immediately surrounded by the enemy’s massive army.
What should be done?
Ye Yinzhu faced a difficult choice.
It was not easy to rush out, but if they continued like this, there was almost no possibility of holding Sifuerte City.
With the aid of mages, the consumption of both sides would soon bee unequal.
“Yin Zhu, let me go.
I won’t have any problems,” Sura spoke up again, this time with a much firmer tone than before.
Ye Yinzhu said gravely, “No need to say more, I will not let you go.
Just stay here and protect me.
Zi.”
Zi, who was sitting beside Ye Yinzhu, suddenly opened his eyes.
Ye Yinzhu turned to look at him, their eyes met, and without speaking, they understood each other’s intentions.
Zi simply nodded firmly at Ye Yinzhu, expressing his determination.
Ye Yinzhu raised his hand and grabbed Sura’s shoulder, “Wait here for me to e back.”
Sura was taken aback, “Yin Zhu, what are you going to do?”
Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently, “Don’t worry, with Zi and my coordination, it’s not that easy to die, Marshal Ancelotti.”
“Your subordinate is here.” Ancelotti hurriedly stepped forward.
Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently and said, “When I’m not here, you mand the defense.
Have our mages increase the firepower output.
Before I return, you must hold off the enemy’s attack.”
By now, Ancelotti would not doubt any of Ye Yinzhu’s actions.
If the previous impossible battle could be turned possible, was there anything this Lord couldn’t do?
“Lord Ye,” Jinse suddenly spoke, his expression somewhat somber, “Have you really decided?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded.
Ancelotti didn’t know what Ye Yinzhu was planning to do, but Jinse had already vaguely guessed it.
This time it was obviously different.
Below the city were real hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.
Not to mention other factors, just those three hundred Blood Mages posed a significant threat.
“Lord Ye, Her Royal Highness The Princess said that no matter what happens, your safety must be ensured.
I don’t advise you to go,” Jinse expressed his concern.
Ye Yinzhu gave a slight smile, looking at Jinse, “Senior, do you have any better suggestions?
Without eliminating these mages, we don’t stand a chance.
Don’t worry, the enemy has their methods, and I have my trump card.”
Jinse’s eyes flickered with a glimmer of admiration, “Being a mander who always charges at the forefront is unwise.
But I still admire your courage.
Since the time of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, you have been the young man I admire the most.”
Ye Yinzhu chuckled bitterly, “Do you think I want to rush to the forefront if I can help it?
Zi, let’s go.” While saying so, Ye Yinzhu soared into the sky, the crimson wings on his back instantly spreading out, and he leapt down from the city walls, gliding towards the area below.
Jinse watched Ye Yinzhu in a daze.
Although Ye Yinzhu didn’t explain why, Jinse knew that the current Milan Army simply didn’t have the strength to contend with the enemy.
It was precisely because the Milan Eastern Legion lacked useful men that Ye Yinzhu had to lead by example!
With a light sigh, “Since you’re willing to risk your life, how can I just stand here?”
Zi followed Ye Yinzhu, leaping out behind him.
Although he didn’t have wings, he possessed the most special Crystal Magic.
His arms extended out to either side, and two shimmering purple lights instantly solidified, serving as gliders.
Although he couldn’t flap them, they allowed him to glide, closely pursuing Ye Yinzhu towards the ground below.
Suddenly, two figures flew out from the city, immediately drawing the attention of the Flore people below.
In an instant, it was like a barrage of arrows; Ye Yinzhu and Zi became the perfect targets.
Kusler had been paying attention to the situation in Sifuerte City.
Suddenly seeing Ye Yinzhu and Zi gliding down from the city, he was not shocked but delighted.
He immediately issued several mands.
As a mander, he naturally knew what Ye Yinzhu and Zi were doing by ing down from the city, and he also knew that if he could kill this new mander of the Milan Empire, the tide of the war could no longer be turned.
Facing the arrow barrage, Ye Yinzhu wouldn’t just stand and take the hits even with his strength.
His wings snapped back instantly, and gravity caused him to drop sharply, nimbly evading most of the arrows, while using the versatile wings of the Crimson Spirit, his body performed swift and agile maneuvers in the air, always finding a slim gap in the dense net of arrows to dash through.
Zi was not together with Ye Yinzhu but glided in another direction.
pared to Ye Yinzhu, his approach was much more direct.
His crystallized body faced the arrow volley at night, feeling merely like a tickle, utterly ineffective.
The arrows could do nothing to halt his advance.
