615: Chapter 193: Asking the Gentleman into the Urn (Part 2) 615: Chapter 193: Asking the Gentleman into the Urn (Part 2) Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently and said, “It seems that His Majesty the King of your country is indeed very sincere.
I’ve killed so many people of Flore, and he can let bygones be bygones?
However, Marshal Hilton, I’m very curious to know how you managed to do it.
How did you know for sure that I would attack here?
Aren’t you afraid that I would launch a surprise attack on Florence and take down your Flore nest?”
Before Hilton could respond, Hillary, standing beside him, said proudly, “How can you pare yourself with our wise King?
His Majesty and the Prime Minister have carefully planned this trap.
You’ve walked right into it.
Doesn’t your Qin City have strong surveillance abilities?
Unfortunately, it is of no use in the face of the King’s plan.”
Hilton said, “Young man, I must admit that you have a unique approach to leading an army, and each of your forces is very powerful.
You even have a super Divine Beast like the War Behemoth to bee your Magical Beast.
But you’re still too young after all.
Youth often leads to arrogance, and how can you not bee proud with continuous victories?
The plan started to be implemented as soon as you looted Nuoding City.
After careful analysis based on the information we obtained, we found that you have a kind of special scout troop that we weren’t aware of.
Through these scouts, you have always been able to grasp our army’s movements and city reconnaissance in a timely manner.
Therefore, whenever you attacked our cities, you were able to find weaknesses easily and gain huge benefits from them.
Our scouts, however, could not detect your presence whatsoever.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, “Indeed, in my eyes, you are deaf and blind.
But I didn’t expect that I would be trapped here by you blind men.
It seems I have underestimated the people of Flore.”
Hilton continued, “At this point, there’s no harm in telling you.
To besiege you and your Qin City Army, even His Majesty and the entire royal family have moved to this Phaedra City.
Even if you really do launch a surprise attack on Florence, you won’t get anything.
Of course, by our estimation, someone as clever as you would never make such a foolish move, right?”
A cold light flickered in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “You knew in advance that I was going to attack Phaedra City and not any other city?”
Hilton shook his head, “Of course not, otherwise we wouldn’t have let you plunder so many cities.
According to the information sent back by Marshal Kusler from the front lines, we know that your aim is to create chaos within our borders and loot resources.
With that in mind, you would surely not stop your strategy after just robbing two cities.
You would continue.
However, we have our troops deployed in the southwest, and Marshal Kusler has gathered the army and established a rapid response force, ready to rescue any city.
If your next target continues to be that area, then Marshal Kusler will lead the army to form a net and force you into our inland.
Although Marshal Kusler can’t find your exact location, with the hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, it should be no issue to push you inland as long as we know your rough whereabouts.
I believe you would also admit this point.”
“I admit, you do have such strength.
But what of it?
What does this have to do with my intention to attack the Flore capital district?”
Hilton smiled faintly, “You must wonder why there are so many troops here when our Flore troops are supposed to be concentrated on the front line.
Let me tell you.
The troops you see in front of you are all posed of private soldiers from our nobility.
Your looting and killing of the nobles in the cities you’ve attacked has caused united hatred.
Every noble wishes to tear you to pieces.
With numerous nobles, the private soldiers total more than a hundred thousand.
After a brief coordination and training, under my mand and after our careful selection, we waited for you here in this Phaedra City.
The King and Prime Minister had estimated that once you and your Qin City Army entered our territory, you would certainly target the capital district, and given the geographical position of Florence, its strong defense system meant that any intelligent person would not choose Florence as their target.
Therefore, the cities on the outskirts of the capital district will surely be your targets.
Being the largest city in the outer district, why would you pass up Phaedra City?”
Ye Yinzhu sighed lightly, “Indeed, I have underestimated the Flore mand.
I admit, I have lost this time.”
Hilton said, “Since we know that you have strong surveillance capabilities, as our troops entered Phaedra City, they have been hiding in various parts of the city, even digging tunnels.
No matter how you scout, you have to use your eyes to see.
We may be blind, but can you, the person with vision, really see everything?
No, what you see is only the surface.
Including the report of Marshal Kusler leading an army of a hundred thousand back to the capital district, it was all a smokescreen for you.
Are you still calculating how long it would take for Marshal Kusler to return?
We’ve waited so hard for you, and it was not until after you looted nine cities that you chose Phaedra City.
There were so many times when the King wanted to send troops to besiege you, but we held back, waiting for you to fall into our trap.”
After a pause, Hilton’s eyes shone with a strong light, “Now, what is laid before you is a sky net and earth trap.
Including ten thousand Royal Guards, a hundred thousand of our troops are here in Phaedra City, along with the reinforcements from Landias and the Bo Pang Kingdom, including the five Dragon Knights and their fifty thousand alliance troops.
Ye Yinzhu, you no longer have a chance.
Surrender, that is your only way out.”
Surrounded by a total of a hundred and fifty thousand troops in the city, the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry could not take advantage of their speed, and both the Tree Spirit Druid and the Raptor Druid would have their bat abilities greatly weakened.
With a fifty-to-one ratio, Phaedra City was like a massive cage, trapping all of Qin City within.
Ye Yinzhu coldly said, “Marshal Hilton, do you really think you and your subordinates will definitely win?”
Hillary, beside him, said contemptuously, “What?
You still think you have a chance?
Three thousand against a hundred and fifty thousand, do you think you’re a god?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “No, I never considered myself a god.
But I can tell you for certain.
Qin City Warriors, even in death, will stand and not kneel and grovel like the Flore people.”
“You…” Hillary raged, he of course knew that Ye Yinzhu referred to Flore Empire’s submission to Landias.
“Father, take action.
Only slaughter can make these people of Qin City understand what pain is.”
Hilton looked at Ye Yinzhu coldly, “Lord Ye, I am giving you one final chance.
Even if you will not consider your own situation, think about your subordinates and their families.
Is a meaningless sacrifice something you can justify to their families?”
It wasn’t that Hilton was reluctant to act, but as a marshal full of wisdom, he understood the situation at hand very clearly.
On the surface, Qin City’s forces seemed to be at a plete disadvantage, but in reality, how many troops would it take to annihilate them pletely?
Hilton didn’t know, and he didn’t even dare to think about it.
The lesson from Kusler was right before his eyes, even these few thousand people from Qin City had managed to send their frontline army of five hundred thousand back without any achievement.
Not to mention, just the presence of that enormously gigantic War Behemoth, and those one hundred Behemoth Beasts, was enough to destroy an army of tens of thousands.
At this point, Flore Empire’s national strength had already dipped into a perilously low state.
Before besieging Ye Yinzhu, King Delavalle of Flore had specifically instructed him, if possible, to make the opponent surrender without fighting.
Flore could no longer afford massive losses.
A contemplative light flashed in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “Since the Marshal is still willing to give me another chance, then…”
Watching the hesitation in his eyes, Hilton couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy — avoiding conflict was obviously the best oute, and hope involuntarily shone in his eyes.
However, at that moment, Ye Yinzhu continued with the second half of his sentence, which consisted of a very simple word.
“Kill—” The Divine Sword of Light Augustus leaped into Ye Yinzhu’s hand as the longsword pointed toward the direction of the city’s entrance.
The rear guard became the vanguard; leading the front of the Qin City Warriors were those five hundred Dong Long Soldiers.
As Ye Yinzhu bellowed the mand “kill,” these five hundred warriors from the Four martial arts factions in the Eastern Dragon Empire lunged forth immediately.
They didn’t charge out in military formations like an army would, but instead, they spread out instantly, turning into arcs of light that scattered and soared toward the rooftops and high points around them.
Undoubtedly, if there was one group from Qin City’s army that this urban battle favored the most, it was the Dong Long Soldiers.
With the deep martial skills inherited from the Eastern Dragon Empire and Douqi that reached Green rank or above, each one was an incredibly powerful warrior.
This type of close-quarter bat was most conducive to playing to their strengths, so, in the blink of an eye, these Dong Long Soldiers had already charged out.
Their target was to first annihilate the enemy archers.
