In this city, there are quite a few fine metals, they are just hidden away.”
Upon hearing his words, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but be moved.
“Are you saying that those nobles have concealed these precious metals?”
The Red Spirit nodded and said, “I am certain.
After reaching a rank Nine Beast, my sense of smell allows me to locate all rare ore deposits within a radius of thirty kilometers.
Although there are no large-scale mines in this city, I can clearly sense the presence of many rare metals.
Although the quantities are not large, there is quite a variety.
Mithril, Fine Gold, Kongou Essence, Diamond Firm, Demon Silver, and even Krypton Gold.
His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, the value of these rare metals far exceeds that of Gold Coins.
Treasures like Demon Silver and Krypton Gold are items for which gold cannot pare, and though those nobles feign pliance, they have hidden the most precious things.”
Ye Yinzhu, of course, had full faith in the Red Spirit’s words.
Not a single one among Goblins and the Dwarf race could pare to the Red Spirit, the master of metals.
A cold light flashed in his eyes as Ye Yinzhu said indifferently, “It seems that we need to conduct another thorough cleansing of Western City.
Hongyan.”
Ye Hongyan’s figure flashed and he was already in front of Ye Yinzhu, glancing at the transformed Red Spirit, “His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, please issue your mands.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “The Red Spirit mentioned that many who do not know what’s good for them have hidden away rare metals.
I think you should take your men and make another round.”
A killing intent flashed in Ye Hongyan’s eyes, “These bloated fools.
I had intended to spare them their lives, but it seems…”
Ye Yinzhu nodded to Ye Hongyan, “Then let us help the Flore Empire clear out these parasites.
Red Spirit, go with Hongyan.
Hongyan, we don’t have much time.” With the Red Spirit’s metal detection ability, there was no need for the nobles to tell the truth.
Which noble wouldn’t have some family wealth?
Rare metals, gemstones, they may be small in volume, but are invaluable.
Naturally, they are the best treasures to collect.
The nobles of Western City had been rejoicing at the impending departure of the forces from Qin City.
Yet those tall, stern, and terrifyingly murderous cavalry returned again.
Ye Yinzhu’s decision to deploy the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry once more, instead of the Legion of Behemoth Beasts or the Druids, was clearly thought out.
The Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry was undoubtedly the direct force of Ye Yinzhu, the most easily manded.
Moreover, they were the fastest amongst the various corps.
If the Behemoth Beasts were tasked with carrying out the plunder acpanied by slaughter, one issue would be their slower speed, and another, upon seeing blood, would be the risk of them losing control and ravaging the city, which would then be difficult to contain.
As for the Druids, being a peace-loving race, Ye Yinzhu would not have them join the killings unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry became the best candidates for this mission.
The Grim Reaper’s Scythe had quietly descended upon Western City, and although the dark night had passed, the cold dawn became the onset of another slaughter.
The sun was shining brightly.
When the sun rose from the east to its zenith, the Qin City Army quietly left Western City, and by then, the greatest noble in Western City was a baron—a fallen noble who truly had nothing left in his home, thereby narrowly escaping disaster.
According to statistics later piled by the Flore Empire, Qin City’s “visit” had executed a number of nobles in Western City that was nearly equal to the City Defense Army, turning Western City into a vacuum of nobility.
Aside from a few unfortunate moners who were mistakenly injured, the losses were astonishingly minimal.
What does a city without nobles bee?
Firstly, two words describe it: chaos.
Within Western City, the streets and alleys were filled with surging moners.
The news of the nobles’ execution spread quickly, and the reaction of most moners was not fear, but applause.
After all, how many moners had been oppressed by the nobility?
Ye Yinzhu led the Qin City Warriors away, leaving a huge mess for the Flore Empire.
Of course, the chaos in Western City did not last too long.
By the time the surviving Baron Ming, after much toil and suffering, finally got the message through to Flore’s Army and Kusler dispatched troops to Western City to maintain order, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
What was ironic was that when Kusler received the message, he was in his own marshal’s tent, listening to reports from various scouting parties that they had found nothing at all.
“Qin City, I swear we are irreconcilable enemies.” Kusler could no longer find any appreciation for Ye Yinzhu in his heart.
Flore was his motherland, and Western City, a bustling metropolis, had been looted, with a large number of nobles killed.
Although this would not affect the army he led, it was a fatal blow to the very foundation of the Flore Kingdom!
When Kusler arrived at Western City with his army, he was stunned to find that the once-prosperous city had descended into chaos, with nearly frantic civilians everywhere.
The nobles were dead, and most of their wealth had been plundered by Ye Yinzhu, but they still had estates, and even the furniture and decorations of their homes were worth some money.
To the moners, those were excellent spoils.
As if ignited by Ye Yinzhu, the darkness within the Flore people, or perhaps the pain of being oppressed for too long, had turned the entire Western City into a sea of looting.
Not a single noble residence remained intact.
Even the bricks and rubble used to construct their mansions were stripped away.
A once-grand Western City had now degenerated into something akin to a slum.
It was impossible for the Flore Kingdom to tally the exact amount of property Ye Yinzhu had robbed from Western City—who knew the extent of the nobles’ collections?
But what could be counted was that in this first looting battle, the Flore Kingdom lost one Grand Duke, three Marquises, twenty-one Earls, one hundred and seventy-two Viscounts, and innumerable Barons.
Together with their vassals, the loss amounted to thousands of people.
Kusler had to deploy the entire fifty-thousand-strong Flore’s Army to enter the city before he could temporarily control the chaotic situation.
The mess before him gave him a splitting headache, his first thought being how to explain this to King Delavalle of Flore.
Suddenly, Kusler seemed to remember something important and grabbed the baron who had brought the news, “Speak, which direction did those robbing bastards leave Western City from?”
Intimidated by Kusler’s overpowering presence, the baron trembled all over, “Ma-Marshall, it seems like those people left through the eastern gate.”
“The eastern gate, eastern gate…” Kusler’s eyes widened in sudden realization, “My God, what on earth does Qin City intend to do?” Passing Western City and heading eastward were not signs of departure, but a march deeper into the vast territories of the Flore Kingdom.
Could it be that those bastards from Qin City actually plan to…
within the Kingdom…
Kusler dared not ponder any further; his heart quivered with intense fear.
He suddenly realized that the war against Milan was such a grave mistake.
The alliance with Landias, when viewed from just Qin City’s perspective, was far inferior to an alliance with Milan.
“Quick, someone, pass my orders, rally all six of the full Light Cavalry Corps, and set off with me immediately.
You bastards of Qin City, having looted so much, you can’t be moving fast.
Although three days have passed, we must catch up with them.
Otherwise, they will bring an irremediable disaster to the Empire, like a plague.”
Poor Kusler, how could he know that Ye Yinzhu and his Qin City legions had no burdens of looted goods to slow them down?
The wealth they had plundered had long been sent to Qin City via Milan.
While Kusler was busy cleaning up the mess in Western City with his Milan Army, Ye Yinzhu and his Qin City units had already reached their next target—a city five hundred kilometers away from Western City, another important town in the Flore Kingdom, Nuoding City.
Of course, traveling to the next city didn’t require such a distance, but the cities closer to Western City were mostly its vassals—relatively smaller cities with less “fat” to trim.
Moreover, Ye Yinzhu had the cautious Oliveira by his side.
It was on Oliveira’s strong remendation that they picked the more distant Nuoding City as their second target.
Arriving at Nuoding City, Ye Yinzhu and his panions truly entered the heartland of the Flore Kingdom.
This area was deep within the Nor Plains of the Flore Kingdom and was part of the more prosperous regions; from here on, the large cities of Flore Kingdom appeared almost every two hundred or three hundred miles.
“Report—” A giant Horned Hawk descended from the sky, and the Elf Soldier riding on its back gracefully leapt down from about five meters above the ground, landing lightly before Ye Yinzhu, Oliveira, and Ye Hongyan, the three brothers.
“How is the situation?” Oliveira asked.
These Horned Hawk Knights could be said to be his direct subordinates, under his mand.
“Just as His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, and Master Oliveira anticipated, Western City is in chaos.
Flore’s Army arrived in Western City a day later than we expected and is currently there quelling the unrest with at least fifty-thousand troops being deployed for the task.
And it seems mander Kusler has realized something; leading sixty-thousand Light Cavalry, he has left Western City before my return, rushing eastward at full speed.”
