599: Chapter 188: Plan for Flore (Part 1) 599: Chapter 188: Plan for Flore (Part 1) …
Kusler sat silently in his mand tent, his mood now as bad as it could possibly be.
Half a million soldiers—half a million—had returned to their own country, with only half remaining.
This didn’t even account for the loss of personnel, equipment, mounts, magical beasts, and siege equipment.
Kusler knew all too well that without a year of recuperation and preparation, there was no hope of launching an effective attack on Sifuerte City.
As he led the army back to the Flore Kingdom, he obtained the true intelligence on Qin City.
Before the Milan Northern Corps launched its attack, Qin City had not attracted the attention of the various forces across the continent.
Although Ye Yinzhu managed to repel the Milan Army with his Six Path Shattering City, Qin City’s bat power was not fully exposed.
Therefore, the information Kusler had was not plete.
“Ye Yinzhu, born in the Acadia Kingdom in the south of the continent, joined the Milan Empire’s Magic Martial Academy Divine Music Department at the age of sixteen, won the championship in the freshmen petition, and soon afterward, represented the outstanding students in the Milan Empire’s autumn defense war against the Beastman Clan.
He faced a plundering legion in the original Konya City, which included two Golden Behemoths leading the group, consisting of a Beastman Plundering Army with more than eighty Behemoth Beasts.
The four main battle legions of the Beastmen totaled up to forty thousand soldiers.”
Reading the profile of Ye Yinzhu, Lord of Qin City, Kusler’s face became so grim that it seemed water would drip from it.
He felt increasingly that this opponent was truly extraordinary.
“Utilizing five hundred Dragon Cavalry and dozens of mages from the Milan Magic Martial Academy, Ye Yinzhu took advantage of the Burna Mountain Range terrain and the winter characteristics, striking the Beastman Plundering Legion with fire attacks, inflicting heavy damage and enraging the leading Golden Behemoth.
Subsequently, when the reinforcements from the Milan Northern Corps arrived, he used a special piece of zither music to cause a thousand tamed dragons, including five hundred Falcon Dragons, to self-destruct simultaneously, creating a devastating destruction to the Beastman Army.
Thus, he made a name for himself in one battle, being a hero of the Milan Empire and was awarded the Milan Red Cross Shield Medal.
He emerged as a new star of the younger generation in the Milan Empire.”
Zither music?
A semblance of bitterness appeared in Kusler’s eyes.
If he had seen these reports before the battle at Sifuerte City, he would have scoffed at them, but having faced Ye Yinzhu, he now understood the terrifying power of that zither music.
The Void Blade, that horrifying power that destroyed five thousand heavy cavalry in an instant, almost like the force of a spontaneously cast Forbidden Curse, left an extremely deep impression on him, didn’t it?
“Later, Ye Yinzhu faced questioning from Silver Dragon City for causing dragons to self-destruct and became a foreign Silver Dragon in the process of explaining his actions.
When the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons tournament approached, he represented Silver Dragon City in battle, leading the elite soldiers of Milan to victory, and was conferred the title of Earl by the Milan Empire.
At the height of his success, remnants of the Eastern Dragon Empire, the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, announced their resurgence in Qin City, also revealing the fact that Ye Yinzhu came from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
Ye Yinzhu did not cling to power within the Milan Empire but resolutely returned to the Eastern Dragon Empire and faced a massive invasion from the Milan Northern Corps—30,000 strong—following a decree from Faran.
”
“At the critical moment, Ye Yinzhu stood out, offering the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a warrior’s ultimate challenge not seen for a millennium.
With his astonishing strength and the help of the Behemoth Beasts, he defeated the power of Milan, being the ultimate victor…”
Ye Yinzhu’s resume ended there, and the introduction to Qin City was much less detailed, with mostly speculations and descriptions of nearly a hundred Behemoth Beasts.
“Defeated the Beastman Plundering Army, became the final victor of the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons, surmounted the ultimate challenge of the Six Path Shattering City warrior.
Is this really what a person under twenty can achieve?
Twenty years old, he’s not even twenty yet, but he has already reached the Zi rank Realm.
It turns out that there really are geniuses in this world.”
Kusler let out a long sigh and gathered the documents about Qin City in his hands.
Even if he now knew this, it was of no importance to him.
Qin City was within the Milan Empire, and revenge would not be easy to exact.
Despite being on opposite sides, Kusler felt some admiration for Ye Yinzhu.
Daring to charge into the tens of thousands of Flore’s Army on the battlefield with only two people, what incredible courage that was?
Cutting off the supply line of Flore’s Army from the rear, what great wisdom he had?
The phrase ‘a bination of wisdom and bravery’ couldn’t be more apt to describe the Lord of Qin City.
“Reporting—” A messenger ran in rapidly from outside.
“Speak.” Kusler said in a deep voice.
“Report to the Marshal, according to our scouts, no traces of Qin City’s army have been found, only signs of an army resting were seen in a forest.”
Kusler’s eyes brightened, “About how many?”
“Judging by the evidence, the enemy force is estimated to be between three to five thousand.
Because many of the traces are plex and do not appear to have been left by humans, it is difficult to determine the exact number.”
“Then there is no mistake.” Kusler clasped his hands together, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The signs not left by humans confirmed that they belonged to Qin City’s Army.
It was baffling why Lord Ye Yinzhu of Qin City had such a powerful force of Behemoth Beasts and why, having just been attacked by the Milan Empire, he would now assist the Milan Empire with Qin City’s forces.
Could it be that the Six Path Shattering City was a farce?
No, that couldn’t be.
The Six Path Shattering City was bound by the decree of Heaven’s God and couldn’t possibly be faked.
There must be some secret to it.
Although he vaguely guessed something, Kusler didn’t have the time to ponder it now.
What mattered most to him was to pletely clear out all forces that Qin City had within the Flore Kingdom’s territory.
Only then could he possibly lead Flore’s Army back into Milan Territory.
After this great defeat, when the news spread within Flore, there was an uproar, and although the king and prime minister still supported Kusler, the only Purple Star Dragon Knight of Flore, the pressure on his shoulders increased several times.
If he could not achieve results, it was not just the king he had to worry about; the kingdom itself might crumble under the immense burden brought on by war.
“Start from the point where traces were found, and search in all directions.
Be quick.
Send an additional five thousand light cavalry into the scout troops, and we must locate the precise position of this malignant tumor within three days.
We cannot let them escape from our territory.”
Kusler had made up his mind that as soon as Ye Yinzhu’s team was found, the Flore’s Army, after pleting their rest and reorganization, would immediately launch a devastating attack on them.
Even if it meant a significant loss, they had to be eradicated pletely.
Alas, the mander of Flore was pletely unaware that at this moment, Ye Yinzhu had no intention whatsoever of fleeing Flore.
He was preparing to stir up an even greater storm.
…
The sunset glows are infinitely beautiful, it’s just that dusk is approaching.
The winter sun sets early, and as the sunlight gradually fades, the beautiful sunset colors in the distant horizon are also fading continuously.
The terrain of the Nor Plains is flat, and the soil fertile.
At the moment, Ye Yinzhu and his Qin City warriors were twenty li southwest of Western City, a major town in the Nor Plains.
Thanks to the Horn Eagle Knights’ ability, any movements west of Western City were pletely sealed off.
The atmosphere outside the city had begun to grow tense, but inside Western City, there was still no sign of alertness.
Folding his wings, Ye Yinzhu slowly descended to the ground.
Earlier, he had made a rough observation of Western City from the air.
Western City, as one of the key towns of the Flore Kingdom, had high walls and a thick defense.
Even before dusk, a sea of lights had already been lit up inside the city, signifying its prosperity.
“Yin Zhu, I’m back.” The blue giant dragon folded its wings and landed gracefully.
Due to the dragon’s highly conspicuous appearance, Oliveira had flown directly out for dozens of li from high altitude before slowly descending and returning from behind the great army.
Ye Yinzhu hurriedly asked, “How does it look?” After all, he did not have the specialized military upbringing that Oliveira had, and when it came to judging specific details on the battlefield, Oliveira was more experienced.
For example, assessing the defensive force of Western City.
Oliveira smiled faintly and made an ‘all is well’ gesture.
“For such a large city, the city defense army only has five thousand men.
This is simply fat meat delivered to our mouths.
Yin Zhu, it seems that in terms of strategy, you have already surpassed me.”
Ye Yinzhu laughed heartily and said, “Alright, quit taking digs at me.
Now that the fat meat is laid out before us, we can start eating right away.
I’ve already notified Jinse (Gold) using the teleportation magic circle a moment ago.
He’s ready over there, just waiting for our move.
It seems we’ve been a bit too cautious.
With only five thousand people, what can they do even if they know we’re about to attack the city?”
Oliveira chuckled and said, “It’s still better to be careful, as caution will ensure a ship’s safety for ten thousand years.
While it’s unlikely that the enemy can pose a threat to us, it would be a loss if we suffered any casualties here due to bad luck.
Let’s wait until nightfall to make our move.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “This battle does not require the full army to take action, just leave it to the Horn Eagle Knights and the Dong Long Knight.”
After consulting with Oliveira and Ye Hongyan, Ye Yinzhu officially renamed the units belonging to Qin City for this expedition.
The Three Hundred Grim Reaper, led by Ye Hongyan, were officially named the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry.
Oliveira was in charge of the Horn Eagle Knights, which consisted of horned hawks, elf soldiers, and archers.
The Dong Long Knight was led by the sect masters of the Mei Clan and Lan Clan.
Zi and Ming manded the Behemoth Army, including the War Behemoth Glacis.
As for the Three Great Druids, they were under the direct mand of Ye Yinzhu, and were organized into separate units: the Tree Spirit Knight Regime, the Druid Air Force Regiment consisting of raptor druids, and the Druid Marching War Team formed by claw druids.
