Zither Emperor Chapter 598 Chapter 188 Plan for Flore Part 2_1

598: Chapter 188: Plan for Flore (Part 2)_1 598: Chapter 188: Plan for Flore (Part 2)_1 Hearing Ye Hongyan’s words, Oliveira silently smiled over to the side, looking at Ye Yinzhu, his eyes filled with admiration.

Ye Yinzhu chuckled faintly, saying, “Brother Oliveira, why don’t you say something?

Do you not object?”

Laughs bellowed from Oliveira as he responded, “You’ve already made up your mind, why would I object?

For any other nation, it’s suicide to attack their cities with our current strength, but Flore Empire is an exception, isn’t it?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, explaining to Ye Hongyan, “Flore has mobilized an army of half a million, virtually emptying their domestic forces.

As a result, no matter the size of the city, the defense is extremely weak.

Our attack is undoubtedly sudden, and how can they resist given the thin defense?

Furthermore, cities for us are not difficult to attack and easy to defend.

Don’t forget, though your Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry may not be able to show their full fighting power in a siege, we still have the Horn Eagle Knights.

The Elf Soldiers can attack them from the sky without giving them an opportunity to retaliate.

What’s more, we have Glacis, known to be unstoppable in any city.

What kind of city wall can withstand his charge?”

A look of relief came over Ye Hongyan’s eyes.

Recalling the scene of Glacis knocking down the mountains, a smile emerged on his face.

Yes, what kind of city wall could impede the steps of a War Behemoth?

Ye Yinzhu quickly decided, “The people of Flore want to besiege us, just like using a fist to hit a mosquito.

Let them do so.

First and foremost, they must catch up with us.

Our goal is to realize the extremes of guerrilla warfare and blitzkrieg.

Not only to harm Flore but also to bring benefits for our Qin City.

The original reason I had Granny Nina equip us with a hundred thousand logistical troops wasn’t for defending Spirit City, but now, they will have their true use.”

Only then did both Oliveira and Ye Hongyan understand Ye Yinzhu’s strategic aim.

They would loot the enemy, self-sustaining in the fight and for the city’s sustenance.

During this Qin City expedition, Ye Yinzhu was in mand, with the various clan elites under his orders.

In terms of mand, after Ye Yinzhu’s many trials, it was most appropriate for him to collaborate with Oliveira and Ye Hongyan.

After thorough discussion between the three, they unified Qin City’s uping battle direction and made prehensive preparations.

Without leaving the forests in a hurry, Ye Yinzhu issued the order to rest for three days.

After all, whether it was Oliveira’s group engaged in blocking Flore’s supply troops or Ye Yinzhu’s own soldiers, they had all worked hard during this period.

The three-day rest wasn’t just a chance to restore their physical condition, but also for them to digest the valuable bat experience obtained through warfare.

Three days later, when the Qin City warriors embarked again, there was one more unit among their bat lines, but it was also the smallest among all of Qin City’s bat teams.

They consisted of only thirty individuals, yet they still had a Legion of Behemoth Beasts for protection, showing their significance.

These thirty were the Goblins brought from Qin City.

During the previous fights, they had been following Oliveira.

Wishing to protect them, Oliveira arranged for them to be among the Horn Eagle Knights, allowing them to just fly alongside the knights in the sky every day.

Now that the battle had moved into its next phase, their role would also begin to change.

The Goblins were undoubtedly among the weakest races on the Ryuzakinus Continent.

Ye Yinzhu would naturally not ask them to participate in the battle alone.

The task for these thirty Goblins was to operate one of their greatest acplishments – the Goblin Rippers.

Each Goblin Ripper was more than 10 meters tall, posed entirely of various precise metals, their functionality and operating methods could only be mastered by Goblins.

The small operating room could only allow Goblins to enter, even Dwarves wouldn’t fit.

The Goblin Rippers served a broad range of purposes, primarily they represented the core force in protecting the Goblins.

Anywhere there were Goblin tribes, there would always be Goblin Rippers.

The 10-meter high Goblin Ripper was entirely mechanically controlled, the crystallization of Goblin wisdom.

Although it was only 10 meters tall, due to being entirely cast from metal and powered by Magic crystal stones, their weight even surpassed that of a Behemoth Beast.

Their strength was even a little bit stronger than a Behemoth Beast, lacking only the Behemoth Beast’s ability to go berserk and its agility.

Ye Yinzhu had once thought about forming a squad of Goblin Rippers, but the requirements for casting a Goblin Ripper were too steep, at the same time, the consumption of various metal resources was also too vast.

They could not be formed into a legion.

With their mechanical disadvantages, they would have been cost-inefficient on the battlefield.

Bringing these Goblin Rippers, Ye Yinzhu naturally didn’t have high hopes for their bat capabilities but had a more critical purpose in mind.

On the second day of the rest period, Ye Yinzhu issued an order.

Three hundred Raptor Druids remained with the group while a thousand Horned Hawk Knights set out on their journey again.

Serving as a scouting force, they played arguably the most crucial role in all of Qin City’s forces.

The task Ye Yinzhu assigned them was simple, to scout the movements of Flore’s Army, and at the same time, to hunt down the isolated scout troops of Flore’s Army.

With the archery skills of the Elf Tribe and the bat power of the Horned Hawks themselves, even ordinary dragon cavalry might not be much stronger than them.

The key is the suddenness of the Horned Hawk Knights’ attacks.

Who would expect a sharp arrow to suddenly fly from mid-air?

Ye Yinzhu, Zi, and Ming sat fortably on the broad back of Glacis.

There is no denying that Glacis’s size was massive enough for the three of them sitting on the same plane with ample space.

That day, Zi had a proper “education” session with Glacis.

The once privileged War Behemoth immediately transformed from a pampered boss into a mount when it had to move again.

With his large body, Glacis moved steadily and swiftly, making him an ideal ground mount.

Sitting on his back, one can clearly see the positions and circumstances of their tribe’s warriors.

Thus, when Zi proposed that Glacis bee their mount, Ye Yinzhu agreed without hesitation.

The first batch of news had already e back.

As expected, about 250,000 of Flore’s Army remained, and after merging with a portion of the logistical support forces urgently summoned from Flore, their numbers had reached 300,000.

This Army, sufficiently supplied, was now in a state of recovery.

They were about five hundred miles away from Ye Yinzhu’s location.

As Ye Yinzhu had deduced, Flore’s Army had dispatched about tens of thousands of scouts, casting a massive net across the border of Flore Kingdom, searching for the presence of Ye Yinzhu’s troops.

Oliveira, controlling his mount flying beside Glacis, said, “Yin Zhu, about fifty miles ahead, we will enter Flore Kingdom’s Nor Plains.

Although the plains’ area is not large, the land is very fertile.

It’s a vital food base in the west of Flore.

According to our initial plans, if we continue to move in the northwest direction after entering the Nor Plains, we will reach the first city, Western City.

Based on our prior understanding of Flore, Western City is a major stronghold in the west of Flore with a population between four to five million.

It is a necessary route to penetrate deep into Flore from the west.

Also, the city has a highly developed trade system and as the trade center of Flore’s west.

It is undoubtedly of paramount importance.”

Having left the forest, Ye Yinzhu and his party had been rushing for an entire day.

During this period, they hadn’t encountered any other cities.

But when devising the plan, Ye Yinzhu set a principle to attack the major cities of the Flore Kingdom.

By doing this, they would not easily alert Flore and provide them with the time to prepare.

Also, the major cities had the most riches.

The poor small cities were not worth looting.

Ye Yinzhu sneered, “Western City, good, that will be our target.

Give my order, speed up the march.

We must arrive in the area of Western City before sunset today.

Brother Oliveira, assemble a hundred Horned Hawk Knights as our forward station.

The scouts from Flore’s Army haven’t encroached here yet, so let the Horned Hawk Knights clear the obstacles ahead and block the source of external news for Western City.

Before we arrive, they shouldn’t get any time to prepare.”

“Yes.” Oliveira replied.

Though they were good brothers in private, Ye Yinzhu was the absolute mander once they marched.

“I’ll go personally.”

The huge form of the Blue Dragon rose, heading east, and the speed of the Qin City Army suddenly increased, progressing towards the direction of Nor Plains.

Due to the presence of the Horned Hawk Knights, the aerial eyes, the road Ye Yinzhu chose to lead the Qin City Warriors was highly unusual during their advance.

It was not easy for Flore’s scouts to detect it, not to mention the civilians of Flore.

Wherever the Horned Hawk Knights went, they would immediately draw a map indicating the specific locations of the villages and towns for Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira.

For thousands of people on the move, it was effortless to look for secluded paths to bypass the villages.

Thus, for the people of Flore, the Qin City Army seemed to have vanished out of thin air.
