605: Chapter 190: Taking By Force, No Discussion (Part 1) 605: Chapter 190: Taking By Force, No Discussion (Part 1) Having heard the response of the Elf Soldier, Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira exchanged a smile—almost everything was within their calculations.
Sometimes, having fewer people wasn’t necessarily a disadvantage, especially when in someone else’s home.
Whatever happened, the Flore Kingdom would suffer the greatest losses.
A faint luminescence flickered, and a gentle divine light shone from Ye Yinzhu’s eyes as he said to Oliveira with a half-smile, “I’m already feeling somewhat sorry for the mander of Flore.
I bet he’s so angry now that he’s close to having a heart attack.”
With a smile curling her lips, Oliveira said, “If it were me, I probably couldn’t hold on any longer.
The mander of Flore’s will is indeed firm.
The logistics support troops have been hit, the front line has been devastated, and now their rear has suffered from the raid by us bandits; fires have broken out everywhere within Flore.
His approach isn’t wrong, leading a rapid response troop, hoping to pletely annihilate these few thousand of us in the shortest time possible.
With a Dragon Knight at his disposal, this might not be an impossible task.
Unfortunately, his biggest problem is that he has lost his eyes and ears—a person who is both deaf and blind can hardly achieve anything.”
The smile on Ye Yinzhu’s face suddenly faded as he said in a serious tone, “mander’s order, the Horned Hawk Knight Legion is to withdraw.
Apart from leaving a hundred people to monitor the Flore Main Army, I want the remaining nine hundred Horned Hawk Knights to form a large net for me in the sky and cover them from above.
You have two tasks: one is to report the position of this Flore rapid force in a timely manner; the other is to create chaos around them, to conceal the actual movement of our main forces, and to pletely paralyze the opponent’s scout troops.
Understood?”
“Yes, Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor,” they answered.
The Horned Hawk Knights left.
Oliveira, still wearing a smile, said, “Now I understand why my grandfather was so furious when he lost those five hundred Falcon Dragon Knights before.
With this aerial advantage, although we are vastly outnumbered, we can claim to be in an invincible position.
Unless we wish it, it will be impossible for Flore’s Army to even encounter us.”
The Golden Behemoth Dis, in his human form, emerged from somewhere, rubbing his shiny bald head, and said, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, when do we start our movement?
Rest assured, this time we will definitely not be deceived by those nobles.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, “We will start the action immediately.
I assume that the mander of Flore has already discovered our intentions.
Since that is the case, we have nothing to hide.
Have the scouts reported back on the situation in Nuoding City?”
Ye Hongyan replied, “They have already reported back.
The situation in Nuoding City seems to be even worse than in Western City; the defenders number less than three thousand.
Although the size of this city is more or less the same as Western City, the prosperity within is superior, probably because it’s an inland city.”
Ye Yinzhu snorted coldly.
“It seems that Flore really did exhaust the majority of their strength in this offensive against the Milan Empire; to think that such an important city has only a few thousand defenders.
It appears we don’t even need any pretense.
All legions prepare for battle in half an hour.”
Lately, the weather in the Flore Kingdom has been good, with clear skies persisting in the west.
Although it is still winter, the warmth of spring seems to be quietly making its presence felt under the sunshine.
The gates of Nuoding City were wide open, and only twenty soldiers were assigned to guard the city gate in front of the drawbridge.
The patrols on the city walls numbered only about five hundred.
For such a massive city, the number of defenders was indeed meager.
Just as Ye Yinzhu had anticipated, Flore Kingdom’s military deployment against the Milan Empire was a desperate gamble; although the five hundred thousand-strong army was formidable, its shortings were now being apparent.
Such an important city was defended by a pitifully small number of troops, unimaginably so.
“What is that?” The gaze of a city guard suddenly hardened.
Looking toward the distant west, he saw clouds of dust rising into the sky, approaching the city gate at an extremely fast pace.
“Cavalry, it seems to be cavalry.
They’re moving so fast—is it possibly the Eric Minlong Cavalry?” Up to this point, these city guards had no idea about the enemy’s approach.
After all, the situation from the frontlines couldn’t be municated to each city, especially when the frontlines had just ended, and the news hadn’t had time to travel so quickly.
Located inland, how could the Nuoding City Defense Army expect an enemy to suddenly arrive?
“My god, that’s so cool.
Is this the Dragon Cavalry?
If only I could bee one of them,” one of the soldiers exclaimed in admiration.
From afar, the rapidly approaching cavalry troops were gradually taking shape.
Their mounts, dark blue in color, galloped as if they were flying.
With their massive bodies and swift speed, they loomed larger and larger in the eyes of Nuoding City’s defense army.
The towering warriors on the backs of those mounts were clad in black armor, pletely covered in steel, with long spears in their hands, drawing ever closer to the city gates.
“No, this isn’t right.
They’re not Eric Minlong the Cavalry; they look like wolves, perhaps they are the Beastman’s Wolf riders.
Quickly, close the city gate!” When the city defense forces got a clear view of the cavalry’s mounts, someone finally realized the danger.
In a moment of great alarm, the twenty-or-so members of the city defense army outside the gate could only hastily retreat into the city while pulling on the chains to slowly raise the drawbridge.
In their view, with a twenty-meter-wide city moat, even if the enemy were to e, it could hold them back for a while.
Considering that the number of the enemy was only in the hundreds, and with the strong and towering walls of Nuoding City for defense, they had no need for fear.
If the city defense army were facing ordinary cavalry at this moment, their actions would undoubtedly be extremely correct.
Unfortunately, were they facing ordinary cavalry?
No, what they faced was the cream of the crop from Qin City, the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry, whose terrifying level was parable to the Behemoth Beasts.
Aside from Faran, this was the only super cavalry unit pletely mounted on high-level Magical Beasts, and every one of the Death God Soldiers on the backs of the Dragon Wolves had grown out of the baptism of iron and blood.
Their strength was at least at the intermediate Green rank or above, and even those of the same rank couldn’t hope to defeat them.
Solely their murderous aura could make enemies several ranks higher tremble.
Ye Hongyan led the charge, the Dragon Wolf Prince beneath him moving at extreme speed, soaring towards the western gate of Nuoding City like a dark blue long rainbow.
Once the Dragon Wolf Prince reached its running pace, the short distance was no slower than the flying speed of a giant dragon.
Seeing the enemy’s drawbridge about to close, Ye Hongyan showed no sign of panic.
“Lift—” As the drawbridge was being raised, Ye Hongyan, as the fastest of the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry, had already rushed to the edge of the city moat.
After this period of training, the Dragon Wolf Prince had long been in perfect harmony with him.
Its limbs, dragon-like in strength, pushed off the ground and the massive body suddenly soared into the air, its dazzling dragon scales reflecting and shimmering in the sunlight.
The Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry had arrived far too quickly.
Although the Flore soldiers below had reacted and begun to raise the drawbridge, the majority of soldiers on the walls still didn’t know what was happening, and not even one had shot an arrow at Ye Hongyan.
The massive body of the Dragon Wolf Prince leaped into the air, the dragon-wing-like appendages on its back unfolding instantly.
While these wings couldn’t enable flight, they were fully capable of gliding.
A distance of twenty meters was nothing for the Dragon Wolf Prince at full sprint; with the aid of its wings to maintain altitude, it directly charged towards the space above the raised drawbridge.
“Roar—” The Dragon Wolf Prince let out a furious roar, a ring of dazzling dark blue light appearing from its tail, spreading instantaneously to its head.
Its wide mouth opened and a dark blue light ball was violently expelled.
The light ball grew rapidly in the wind, expanding to over a meter in diameter in the blink of an eye and slammed heavily into the heavy drawbridge like Ye Hongyan’s vanguard.
One must know, those drawbridges were constructed with thick steel plates on the inside and a meter-thick solid wood on the outside, extremely sturdy.
However, the Dragon Wolf Prince was a rank 8 Warcraft, and the dark blue light ball it spat out exerted a terrifying force the moment it hit.
With a loud bang, a deep pit was blasted into the drawbridge.
Although it wasn’t broken through, a layer of corrosive Elemental Energy had already penetrated it, softening the texture of the drawbridge.
Just then, the massive body of the Dragon Wolf Prince had already reached the erect drawbridge.
With a loud shout from Ye Hongyan, blue Douqi burst forth from his Dragon Wolf Spear, the sharpened tip piercing precisely into the center of the area previously hit by the magical blast on the drawbridge.
A harsh noise sounded as the Blue rank Douqi exploded instantly, acpanied by another bout of Dark Ice Dual Attribute Magic released by the Dragon Wolf Prince.
A big hole was immediately made in the drawbridge.
It was only at this moment that the City Defense Army on the ramparts came to their senses, and a shrill cry echoed across the walls, “It’s an attack, an attack!
Quick, loose the arrows!”
