Zither Emperor Chapter 613 Chapter 193 Please Get into the Urn Part 1_1

613: Chapter 193 Please Get into the Urn (Part 1)_1 613: Chapter 193 Please Get into the Urn (Part 1)_1 Although the Horned Hawk Knights could scout the movements of this army, they could not possibly see the expression on Kusler’s face at that time.

At this moment, Kusler, not only did not show any worry, but there was a sinister smirk on his face, “People of Qin City, you have finally emerged.

Even though you’ve hidden your movements extremely well, no one knew about your actions until you appeared.

But, you have already fallen into our trap.

You are facing a nation.

I presume, you already know about my movement with the army, yet you don’t know that a great net is already spread in front of you.”

Without sufficient reconnaissance, the people of Flore are indeed like blind men, but even a blind cat might stumble upon a dead rat.

After King Delavalle of Flore and Prime Minister Dario made their plans, they arranged their tactics promptly.

To deal with the highly mobile Qin City Army, all they can do is sit and wait.

Although this would result in huge losses, as long as they could annihilate the people of Qin City, everything would still be possible for them.

…

The purple light flickered, and amidst the intense fluctuations of magic power, the figure of Ye Yinzhu quietly appeared.

Even he couldn’t remember how many times this was his return from East Wind City.

But what he was certain of was that the Qin City forces had already plundered nine cities within the Capital Market Zone of Flore Empire.

Although they encountered some resistance during the period, this resistance was negligible to the strong ones of Qin City.

Nine cities, that was a vast accumulation of wealth!

Gold had told Ye Yinzhu at the very least, it would take him about half a year of busy work to transport all these things to Qin City.

The economic system of the Flore Empire, especially in the Capital Market Zone, suffered almost devastating damage, and panic swept through the entire market zone.

“Brother Oliveira.” Ye Yinzhu had just appeared from the magical array, looking for his most reliable partner.

“I am here.

This city has been pletely looted, the brothers have rested enough, we can set off at any time.” Oliveira came over and reported to Ye Yinzhu.

With the pletion of plundering of nine cities, not to mention the ordinary Qin City warriors, even Oliveira’s heart was full of excitement and pride.

This was a tremendous merit!

With this looting, the entire Flore kingdom was deeply hurt.

While their front line had the support of a 400,000-strong army, how much were the daily consumption and supplies of this large army?

Without the support of the country, it wouldn’t take long for this army to defeat itself.

Naturally, the threat on the Eastern Front of the Milan Empire can be pletely eliminated.

Ye Yinzhu’s face was somewhat heavy, and he frowned, “Big brother, don’t you think that our lootings these days have been too smooth?”

Mei Clan Master, Mei Rujian, standing beside him, smiled and said, “What?

Isn’t it good to be smooth?

The Flore Kingdom indeed doesn’t have the strength to pete with us.

It’s pretty good that they can hold their capital.”

Having listened to Ye Yinzhu’s words, Oliveira showed a different expression, pondering, “It does seem to be too quiet.

The King of Flore really has a great capacity for forbearance.

Yin Zhu, have you found anything?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head, saying, “Supposedly, I shouldn’t be feeling this way.

With the accurate scouts of the Horned Hawk Knights, we can have control over the movements of the Flore people at all times.

The 100,000 light cavalry they recollected would take at least five or six days to return.

But just as you said, it’s been too quiet.

We got quite a lot of loot, but have you noticed that not a single noble we killed held a rank above Marquis.”

Oliveira reassured, “That’s not abnormal.

Suddenly attacked by us, the big nobles must have already fled to Florence.

Since you are worried, let’s be cautious.

Once we’re done plundering the next target, we’ll return to Spirit City for rest.

With so many resources, it should be enough for the construction of Qin City.

Though Flore’s army is 400,000 strong, it is still far from the previous 500,000.

Without sufficient mages, as long as we lead the Qin City warriors to assist the Eastern Military Corps in defending Spirit City, they will have no chance.”

Hearing Oliveira’s words, Ye Yinzhu’s mood also relaxed somewhat, “Alright, we will return after pleting the plunder of the last city.”

It was not that Oliveira was greedy, but that this city they just plundered is only fifty miles away from the next city.

Considering such a short distance, they couldn’t give up.

Besides, the tenth city they were going to loot, Phaedra City, is the largest city on the outskirts of the Capital Market Zone of Flore Empire.

The larger the city, the more abundant the wealth inside it.

After a short rest, the Qin City forces set off again.

For the Qin City warriors, a distance of fifty miles couldn’t even take an hour to reach.

Because of the unease appearing in the mind, Ye Yinzhu decided to end this last looting with a blitz, and then use the Spatial Teleportation Formation in Phaedra City to directly go back to Spirit City.

From a distance, Phaedra City had already appeared within sight.

This massive city, with walls exceeding fifty meters in height, although still at some distance, could one could faintly feel the weightiness of this city.

The Horned Hawk Knight who was responsible for scouting flew back, reporting to Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira that they had found nearly four thousand City Defense Army in Phaedra City.

Although the city gate was tightly closed, the inner defenses weren’t particularly strict; they didn’t even have some of the defenses essential for a large city.

Zi and Ye Yinzhu, both seated on the War Behemoth Glacis which had transformed back into its original form, naturally heard the Horned Hawk Knight’s report.

Smiling, Zi said, “It seems that Phaedra City has already given up resistance.”

Ye Yinzhu hummed ambivalently in response before promptly issuing mands for a full-speed march.

Just like previous sieges, with the exception of the five hundred Horned Hawk Knights scattered around responsible for scouting, the remaining five hundred Horned Hawk Knights lead by Oliveira congregated in their formation, flying towards Phaedra City at top speed.

Their chosen target was the southern gate of Phaedra City.

The Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry and the Tree Spirit Druids, following the airborne Horned Hawk Knights, accelerated towards the direction of the city gate with unprecedented speed.

Ye Yinzhu, Zi, the Army of Behemoths, the Raptor Druids, the Claw Druids, and the Eastern Dragon Soldiers moved forward at an increased speed too, following the Vanguard troop as they quickly moved towards Phaedra City.

The Elf Soldiers on the backs of the Horned Hawks had greeted the city’s defense forces with showers of arrows before the arrival of the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf cavalry.

After the Tree Spirit Druids launched their first attack, the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry had already crossed the wide city moat of Phaedra City and arrived in front of the gates.

Just like the previous raids on other cities, there was no need for the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry to deploy collective mana.

The Horned Hawk Knights, who had cleared out the enemy forces inside the city, had already opened the city gates and lowered the bridge.

The soldiers of Qin City instantly rushed into the city.

With the entrance of the Tree Spirit Druids and the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry, Ye Yinzhu led the main army corps and arrived too.

They entered Phaedra City, and first appearing before their eyes was a wide street that could acmodate ten horsemen side by side.

However, all the shops lining the street at that time were closed.

There was an eerie emptiness about Phaedra City.

Ye Yinzhu led the Qin City forces forward.

After gaining more experience in looting, Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira found out that moving the large army to the center of the city first and then spreading the loot to all directions was the fastest and the most efficient strategy.

Naturally at this time, they were also following the same strategy.

Suddenly, Ye Yinzhu’s face changed.

“Something’s not right.

We just entered the city at such speed, but why have all the shops been closed?

This is unlike any situation we’ve encountered before.

Scout.”

With Ye Yinzhu’s loud call, the Horned Hawk Knight who had reported earlier immediately arrived at his side.

The Elf Soldier on the back of the Horned Hawk respectfully said, “What’s your mand, Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor?”

Ye Yinzhu hastily asked, “When you were scouting earlier, did you see the shops in Phaedra City closed like this?”

The Horned Hawk Knight was stunned, “It seems so.”

Ye Yinzhu snapped, “What do you mean by ‘it seems so’?

Is it or isn’t it?”

The Elf Soldier nodded and said, “It should be.

We also felt that something wasn’t quite right, but our main target for observation was the guardian d army, so we didn’t pay much attention to the situation inside the city.

Your Excellency, is there a problem?”

Ye Yinzhu shivered in apprehension and thought, ‘A problem?

This could be a major issue.’ Abruptly, he yelled, “Everyone, halt!

Quickly inform Oliveira in the air control, there could be a situation.

Qin City soldiers, back up, follow me out of the city first.”

Zi, who was sitting next to Ye Yinzhu, furrowed his brows, “Yinzhu, are you being a bit too nervous?

Maybe, the civilians here have already heard about our loot in the previous city, and surmised that we would e here, hence they closed their doors.”

“No, there’s no reasoning behind that.

Even if the news had e, the people who could have received the news would be the soldiers and the nobles.

How could the civilians know so fast?

Quick, Glacis, take the original route out of the city.”
