Zither Emperor Chapter 611 Gathering Wealth Middle_1

611: Gathering Wealth (Middle)_1 611: Gathering Wealth (Middle)_1 Ye Hongyan scoffed, “Do the people of Flore really think we would be afraid of their fifty thousand light cavalry?

Without enough Dragon Knights, what can mere light cavalry acplish?”

No one thought Ye Hongyan was being arrogant.

Fifty thousand against three thousand might seem unequal in numbers.

But all the powerhouses present had enough confidence that their subordinates or clan members could each fight ten enemies by themselves.

This was especially true for the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry and the Behemoth Beast Legions.

During the battle at Sifuerte City, the main force of Flore’s Army, the Magician Corps, was pletely annihilated.

At the same time, only three out of the ten Venus Dragon Knights retained their full bat effectiveness.

Even if two or three injured Dragon Knights recovered, their bat strength would still be severely lacking.

Once Qin City’s Army of three thousand clashed with these fifty thousand light cavalry, not to mention other factors, just the intimidation of the rank Ten Divine Beasts would render their mounts utterly paralyzed.

The numerical advantage would be nearly impossible to convert into victory.

Conversely, the chance for victory would be even greater for the warriors of Qin City.

Oliveira said gravely, “It’s true, we’re not afraid of a frontal engagement with the enemy.

However, deep within enemy territory, we cannot afford a war of attrition.

After all, we only have a little over three thousand people, and we cannot afford the loss.

Even if we were to annihilate these fifty thousand, how can everyone guarantee that you and your troops won’t get hurt?

Excessive depletion will inevitably cost us our mobility.

By then, should we be surrounded by Flore’s Army, losses can be foreseen.

Last time, a Demon Jade Dragon attacked us by surprise; who can assure that they don’t have other hidden measures?

Each person here and your subordinates, clan members, are the future of Qin City.

We cannot suffer losses.

Therefore, we absolutely must not engage the enemy head-on.”

Oliveira’s words first garnered approval from Ye Yinzhu, “Brother Oliveira’s words are my thoughts exactly.

Therefore, we must think in the long term.

The looting has already brought us considerable advantage, and launching another assault, the first thing we must ensure is not to give the enemy any opportunity to engage us in battle.

Better to delay the attack or even not attack at all.”

Glacis muttered to himself, “After all that’s been said, what exactly should we do?

In any case, I need to eat, I can’t take it anymore.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, “If the Flore Empire is waiting for us to attack this city, then let’s not do as they wish.

If they have a tight defense on the outskirts, then let them defend.

If we cannot engage in a frontal assault, can we not take a detour where there are no enemies?” While speaking, Ye Yinzhu’s hand fell directly onto the location of the Flore Empire’s capital, the City of Florence, on the map.

Suddenly, gasps resounded throughout the entire tent.

The people looking at Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but change their gazes.

With a smile, Ye Yinzhu calmly said, “The most dangerous place is often the safest.

What is most advantageous for us is to have accurate information on the movements of Flore’s Army.

From the previous wars, we can see that the Flore Empire, in order to attack Milan, went all out, amassing a large army at the border and thus leaving the inside empty.

Now that the external forces have gathered, a total of four hundred thousand, how many troops can there be left in their capital and the surrounding cities?

Those fifteen cities are indeed great and convenient for looting, but we will not do as expected.

If the Flore Kingdom’s king were to fall into our hands by some chance, then perhaps that would mark the end of the war.”

“Fortune favors the bold, I like it,” Zi coolly said, indicating his support.

This time, even the usually cautious Oliveira nodded.

From a tactical standpoint, Ye Yinzhu’s use of troops was akin to the unpredictable movements of ghosts and spirits, fully utilizing the strengths of the available forces.

Qin City’s warriors were indeed strong; solely the number of Zi rank Powerhouses was enough to rival the entire Milan Empire, let alone the current state of the Flore Empire.

Even if they couldn’t win, breaking through an encirclement would not be difficult.

They also had the Spatial Teleportation Array for evacuating as a guarantee, Oliveira really couldn’t think of a reason to stop Ye Yinzhu.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ye Yinzhu said, “Alright, everyone get your belongings ready, we will set off immediately.”

The strong ones from Qin City respectfully responded in unison, “Yes.”

As everyone left the tent, Glacis lingered, following Ye Yinzhu with a troubled look, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, I have no objections to attacking any place and am willing to lead the charge for you.

But if we’re going deep into the Flore Empire, that’s quite a distance away.

What will I eat during this period?

I’m already feeling my strength waning.”

Looking at Glacis’s pitiable expression, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Was this really the mighty War Behemoth?

But he did bring up a problem; the War Behemoth’s strength was indeed terrifying, but so was its appetite.

They couldn’t just let him go into battle hungry.

“Alright, I’ll think of a way to get you some food.

It might not be enough to fill you up, but it should at least maintain your strength.

Once we get to the depths of the Flore Kingdom, near the City of Florence, you can eat whatever you want from the surrounding cities,” Ye Yinzhu reassured him.

Glacis was overjoyed.

“That’s just great!

As long as there’s something to eat, I don’t care about anything else.

Whether it’s the capital or not, I’ll just charge through it.”

In the camp of the Qin City Army, only Ye Yinzhu remained.

During the month’s time, Red Spirit had been busy leading the Goblin Rippers, and he and the Qin City Warriors had not been idle either.

Resting and recuperating was also the best time for cultivation.

Killing on the battlefield could easily attach a deathly aura to oneself, and during the rest period, it was the best time to cleanse the mind and body and improve one’s cultivation.

Therefore, during this month, the Qin City Warriors spent their time continuously cultivating.

Ye Yinzhu also consolidated his cultivation, reaching the Seventh Rank of Zi rank, and he clearly felt that the magic power and Douqi inside his body were as vast as the Yangtze River, seemingly inexhaustible.

Over the month, he particularly cultivated his newly prehended Void Sound Blade.

Originally, Ye Yinzhu thought it might be difficult to use this super ability, but the simultaneous increase in Douqi and magic power greatly enhanced his cultivation.

After experimenting a few times, it all came together naturally.

This also became one of the most powerful offensive techniques created by Ye Yinzhu.

After all, although Zither Magic is strong and works over a wide area, it always requires time to plete, whereas the Void Sound Blade is almost instantaneous.

The most terrifying aspect is that the Void Sound Blade’s attack ignores all physical defenses.

Zi, after carefully experiencing the power of the Void Sound Blade, told Ye Yinzhu that this technique would undoubtedly bee a samurai killer in the near future.

With Ye Yinzhu’s current immense spiritual power and his state of Unity with Heaven and Man, unless a martial artist had reached the level of Sub-God rank, it would not be easy to survive under the Void Sound Blade.

The power of the Void Sound Blade was inversely proportional to the resistance it encountered.

When the enemy Ye Yinzhu attacked with the Void Sound Blade had stronger spiritual power, the range and effect of the Void Sound Blade were smaller.

That is to say, if Ye Yinzhu’s Void Sound Blade attacked three hundred mages, since mages generally had strong spiritual power, he would face great resistance, and the attack range of the Void Sound Blade would be much smaller.

However, if it were three hundred warriors, then the Void Sound Blade could easily devour their lives.

For example, during the battle in Spirit City, it was because there were no mages involved that Ye Yinzhu’s Void Sound Blade, which was parable to a Forbidden Curse, was able to destroy five thousand heavy armored cavalry in an instant.

After continuous experimentation and attempts, Ye Yinzhu found that the Void Sound Blade was most effective against warriors, especially against a large number of enemies on the battlefield.

However, the consumption of spiritual power by the Void Sound Blade was also extremely terrifying.

Using the Void Sound Blade once consumed as much spiritual power as three Forbidden Curses cast by Zither Magic.

Phil Jackson had been in a deep slumber all this time.

Ye Yinzhu had called out to him several times, but he showed no signs of waking up.

As he became the true master of Qin City and gradually got involved in the wars of the Continent, Ye Yinzhu felt increasingly aware of his own lack of strength.

The Flore Kingdom was only a second-rate country on the Ryuzakinus Continent.

Let alone Milan and Landerius, even the Bourbon Kingdom had significantly greater overall strength than it.

Dealing with Flore’s Army was already so difficult, and that was with substantial help from the Milan Eastern Legion.

Qin City’s hypothetical enemy in the future would be the most powerful Faran, and the current strength was far from enough.

Thinking of the departing Sura, Ye Yinzhu’s longing for power became even more intense amidst his profound pain.

He was eager to know how Phil Jackson would integrate his Zither Magic with his Undead Magic.

The Qin City Army set out once again.

Although Ye Yinzhu’s proposal was extremely bold, venturing deep into dangerous territory, he was far from careless.

After leaving a hundred Horned Hawk Knights responsible for scouting the movements of Flore’s Army, the remaining nine hundred dispersed, spreading out over a hundred square kilometers centered on the Qin City Army, continuously transmitting terrain and various messages back.

To achieve the effect of a surprise attack, the first requirement was not to alarm the enemy.

Therefore, under the seamless reconnaissance, the Qin City Army bypassed all cities and villages that could be reached, traveling by night and hiding by day, choosing secluded paths for their march.

With the strength of the Qin City Warriors, there was no road that could stop them from advancing, although their pace was slightly slower.
