610: Chapter 192 Gathering Wealth (Part 1)_1 610: Chapter 192 Gathering Wealth (Part 1)_1 Just as Ye Yinzhu was preparing to lead the Qin City Army in a renewed campaign against the Flore Kingdom, Red Spirit went out for a stroll and delayed the Qin City Warriors for another half month because he discovered another mine not far away.
Although this time it was only a diamond mine that could refine the Kongou essence, the reserves were even larger.
In their excitement, the forces of Qin City naturally stayed behind.
In reality, they only needed to leave the Goblin Rippers and Red Spirit here to mine the resources.
However, these were precious modities, and Ye Yinzhu also worried about any issues that might occur with the Goblin Rippers.
Considering that the Flore Kingdom couldn’t pose a threat to the eastern front of Milan in the short term, he let the whole army continue their rest and recovery, while also guarding the smooth mining of the mines.
Demon Silver Mines acpany Kongou essence, and Diamond Mines also bring with them some Demon Silver during the production of Kongou essence, albeit much less than from the Demon Silver Mines.
In the face of Red Spirit’s formidable extraction abilities, these treasures naturally became possessions of Qin City.
A golden-red mist pletely enveloped the dark golden boulder in front of him, which was a cubic meter in volume.
The golden-red mist gradually brightened, and the intense light pletely hid the ore within.
As time passed, when the mist solidified again, a large piece of pure gold metal appeared before everyone, along with a small, thumb-sized piece of multi-colored Demon Silver.
“This is the last piece of ore.” Red Spirit let out a breath, but the light in his eyes was filled with excitement.
Extracting ore is in itself the best form of cultivation for Red Essences.
Ordinary Red Essences, even if they find a mine, do not have proper excavation capabilities.
But Red Spirit was obviously different.
He could effortlessly absorb the rare metal energy in these ores.
Moreover, he had thirty large Goblin Rippers acting as excavators.
For a Red Essence, there could be no better arrangement.
This is why the incredibly intelligent Red Spirit was so devoted to following Ye Yinzhu.
Having collected the Kongou essence and Demon Silver in front of him into the Sumeru Divine Ring, Ye Yinzhu patted Red Spirit’s shoulder, “You’ve worked hard.”
Red Spirit shook his head, saluted Ye Yinzhu respectfully, and directly transformed into a golden-red light attached to him.
In this month, the warriors of Qin City had ample rest time and were constantly undergoing training under the guidance of Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira.
Of course, these powerful warriors of different races essentially did not need much training.
The main training was focused on ensuring good coordination among different types of forces.
Only with good coordination could their bat effectiveness be maximized.
Upon returning to the temporarily erected tent, Ye Yinzhu, who had already calculated the pletion time of Red Spirit’s work, had the manders of various corps waiting there.
Moving to the seat of honor and sitting down, Ye Yinzhu said, “Extraction has been pleted.
It’s been a month.
I wonder how things are on Flore Kingdom’s end now.”
Glacis, frowning and rubbing his belly, replied, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, I don’t care about them.
All I want to do now is eat.”
Upon his words, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone in the tent.
Only Mountain Giant Ming nodded in agreement.
Although Ye Yinzhu’s Sumeru Divine Ring still contained some food left from the last looting, he dared not let Glacis eat any of it.
This War Behemoth had a terrifying appetite.
Probably enough food to sustain the qlan City Army for a month wouldn’t even satiate him for one meal.
Therefore, one could say that Glacis was practically starving through this past month.
Ming could supplement himself by eating some rocks, but Glacis couldn’t.
The occasional beasts found in the surroundings, when eaten, were not even enough to fill his teeth gaps.
Thankfully, Glacis had feasted enough during their previous raid to maintain a certain level of strength even after a month of starvation.
Otherwise, the battle power of this War Behemoth may have significantly dropped.
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Don’t worry, there will be food for you soon.
I gathered everyone here to discuss our next target.”
The crowd settled down, but Glacis couldn’t help but intervene, “What’s there to discuss?
Your Excellency, Zither Emperor, as long as we have your mand, we’ll attack wherever you point us.”
This time, Glacis received the majority of the crowd’s approval.
It was undeniable that in the numerous battles they had fought since leaving Qin City, Ye Yinzhu’s strategic leadership not only saved the Milan east line from crisis, but also greatly benefited Qin City.
At this juncture, whether it was the various clans of Druids, the Behemoth Beast, Elves Tribe, and Eastern Dragon Soldiers, they all fully recognized the mand abilities of Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira.
Watching Qin City gain such vast resources bolstered their confidence in the city’s future development.
Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira beside him exchanged a glance, saying, “Since we joined this war, everything has been going smoothly so far.
But, this doesn’t mean we will always be successful in the future.
The situation on the battlefield can change in an instant.
While we scheme against our enemies, they might also be scheming against us.
In the past month, we’ve been reorganizing and the people of Flore have been doing the same.
Although the battle in Spirit City dealt a heavy blow to the Flore Army, it was not enough to shake its foundations.
After all, our opponent is a nation.
In the past month, the Flore Kingdom has surely recovered some strength.
We are undoubtedly their most hated enemy.
I can’t be certain yet, but if I were the mander of Flore, I would find a way to deal with us first.
Only after defeating us can they launch an attack against the Milan Empire without any worries.
Brother Oliveira, tell us about the reconnaissance results of our Horned Hawk Knights.”
Oliveira nodded and said, “His Excellency Zither Emperor is right, we cannot be overly optimistic about the current situation.
Flore Kingdom’s attack on Milan Empire is undeniably a desperate move.
Landias can afford to lose, Bo Pang Kingdom can afford to lose, Polly’s Kingdom doesn’t even fear failure.
Because they all have a way to retreat and can return to their country to rebuild.
But the Flore Kingdom can’t.
Their eastern border shares a large boundary with our Milan Empire.
Once the main battle is over, the Milan Empire will certainly not forgive these traitors.
So, the Flore Kingdom’s expectation of victory is even more unyielding than Landias’.”
Having heard Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira’s words, the easiness in everyone’s eyes gradually vanished, and the clan leaders of the Druids subconsciously nodded.
Oliveira continued, “Therefore, during the month that our army was recuperating, I sent out the Horned Hawk Knights on an expanded reconnaissance mission.
Although they did not cover the whole Flore Kingdom, they did include nearly half of its area.
Particularly, we carefully examined the deployment of the Flore’s army.
We found that the recovery speed of Flore’s forces in the past month was astounding.
From the Spirit City battle disaster, 250,000 retreating soldiers rallied and, after a good deal of logistical support provided, the number had grown to nearly 400,000.
Although most of them were new recruits, with more than 200,000 veteran soldiers leading them, the effectiveness of these new recruit’s training is clear.
What worries me most is that after the Flore Kingdom’s main force tracked us to the former Nuoding City, it hasn’t launched any further action against us.
Instead, it deployed a large formation, stretching out like a huge line of defense near Flore’s border with Milan.
Out of these 400,000 soldiers, an elite force of 50,000 light cavalry was selected and formed.
This force was not garrisoned together with the main army, but in this place.”
As he spoke, Oliveira pointed to a specific location on the sheepskin map on the table.
Everyone followed Oliveira’s pointed finger to a seemingly insignificant city on the map.
At first glance, it seemed ordinary.
However, upon closer inspection, they discovered its strategic importance.
Ye Hongyan appeared somewhat surprised and said, “This place is subtle.
It seems to have some specific significance.”
Ye Yinzhu finally spoke, “That’s right, this place isn’t just subtle, it’s also a clever move deployed by the Flore people.
If you look, this small city is pitifully small, and according to our information, there isn’t much of a supply depot for the army.
However, you can all estimate that the distance from this small city to the other fifteen nearest major cities is relatively the same.”
With Ye Yinzhu’s reminder, everyone noticed that this small city, where the 50,000 light cavalry are stationed, is located deep within the Flore Kingdom, behind Flore’s main army.
If they used it as a starting point to radiate towards the surrounding cities, the distance to the fifteen nearest major cities is almost identical.
This distance is also not too far.
“So you mean, no matter which of these fifteen cities we attack, these 50,000 light cavalry can respond at the same time?” Sect Master Lan Qing of Lan Clan asked with a frown.
Ye Yinzhu said, “That’s just one aspect of it.
Considering our current location, the best strategy is to attack this cluster of cities.
These fifteen cities are like the roots of Flore Kingdom on the Nor Plains, and hold even more strategic significance than the outer five cities we previously attacked.
If we can sack all these fifteen cities, we can be sure that Flore’s economy will collapse, even if all of Flore’s major cities in the east led by the capital Florence provide full support, Flore Kingdom will surely not be able to recover within five years.” (To be continued.
