620: Chapter 195: The Ultimate Secret Technique of the War Behemoth (Part 2) 620: Chapter 195: The Ultimate Secret Technique of the War Behemoth (Part 2) What’s happening?
Everyone was astonished, but Ye Yinzhu recalled the voice of Zi, “The raging charge of the War Behemoth is equivalent to our Amethyst Behemoth’s Whirlwind Laser Slash.
It’s one of the ultimate techniques of the Divine Beasts.
With this move, Glacis has truly been enraged.
Only in desperation would a War Behemoth resort to this tactic.”
The ultimate technique equivalent to the Whirlwind Laser Slash?
One must remember that Glacis was a fully grown Divine Beast, unlike Zi who could not unleash the true power of the Whirlwind Laser Slash.
Before Ye Yinzhu could ponder further, the scene before him made his eyes widen.
Instead of the anticipated roar and collapse, the tall southern city wall of Phaedra City gradually turned milky white, the same color as the flames that had erupted on Glacis’s body earlier.
Not only did the wall change, but also the soldiers and manders on it, as well as the heavy crossbows and cannons—they all became infected with the milky white hue.
Then, as milky white specks began to drift away, this kilometer-wide stretch of the southern wall, along with the warriors and all defensive equipment on it, vanished into thin air as mere specks of white light.
What laid before the Qin City Warriors was not a barrier, but a broad avenue.
Even more terrifying was the fact that the city moat outside had also disappeared, with the water turning into white light and vanishing as well.
Was this the power of the War Behemoth’s charge?
Whether it was Ye Yinzhu, Zi, or Ming, a feeling of fear emerged in their hearts.
Inside the city, the allied forces from the three kingdoms looked stupefied as if they had lost even the courage to charge into battle.
“Charge out.” Oliveira’s voice came at the right time, awakening the Qin City Warriors.
Before the allied forces could regroup, the Legion of Behemoth Beasts roared, leading a fast charge straight ahead across the now-clear path.
In the distance, Hillary, dumbstruck, watched the broad gap where the city wall had once stood and muttered to himself, “How is this possible?
Is this the power of a Divine Beast?
Someone e, quick!
Cavalry, follow me in pursuit.”
Although Hillary’s voice was loud, not a single Flore soldier beside him moved; they were all staring blankly as the Qin City Warriors rapidly escaped the constraints of Phaedra City.
Hillary did not die, but that did not mean he had the strength to survive a fall from hundreds of meters in the sky unscathed.
In the moment when he and Hilton were plummeting amidst the crisis, his father’s love saved Hillary’s life.
At the critical moment, Hilton activated all the Douqi in his body towards the ground, slowing their descent.
While holding his son, he flung Hillary out just before hitting the ground.
He, however, finally succumbed, with broken bones, and from that point on, a Marshal of Flore perished.
The Qin City Warriors, spurred by the momentum, broke through the city perimeter.
Ye Yinzhu flew in mid-air to join with the ining Horned Hawk Knights.
His expression had turned extremely grim.
From the air, he could accurately see the Qin City Warriors’ predicament.
Among the forces from Qin City, the Horned Hawk Knights had remained intact by virtue of always being in the air, and thus were almost never within the enemies’ range of attack.
The Legion of Behemoth Beasts and the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry had also largely avoided serious damage thanks to their formidable defensive power, with only a few injuries among them.
However, these were the only Qin City forces without fatalities.
Excluding these three legions, at least twenty Claw Druids had fallen, over fifty Raptor Druids had perished, and the Tree Spirit Druids suffered the gravest loss; out of five hundred, only just over three hundred survived.
Even the Dong Long Soldiers lost nearly a tenth of their forces to enemy encirclement and sneak attacks.
To outsiders, this might seem like a tremendous triumph—after all, they had broken through an encirclement of over a hundred thousand.
Ye Yinzhu had also used his incredibly powerful Zither music, the bane of the Dragon Clan, to annihilate including five Advanced rank Nine Giant Dragons.
Yet, to Ye Yinzhu himself, such losses were heart-wrenching.
Keep in mind, these were the elite of the elite from Qin City.
In an instant, the lives of over two hundred elite warriors, nearly a tenth of their bat strength, vanished, and Ye Yinzhu’s heart bled.
Could this trap they fell into be attributed to a tactical error by him and Oliveira?
No, there was no fault in the tactics they had devised.
The critical failure had been in underestimating the enemy.
They believed the enemy could not muster enough force, which led them to continue their raids, and they were too placent, placing too much faith in the scouting abilities of the Horned Hawk Knights.
After all, they were attacking a city where buildings could conceal troops, allowing the enemy to hide troops so well that they could not detect them.
But now it was too late for such considerations—the majority of the Qin City Warriors had ultimately broken out from the city.
Despite their heavy losses, they had inflicted many times greater casualties on the enemy.
Perhaps out of fear, not a single enemy soldier pursued from the city.
However, in the air, Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira simultaneously noticed a substantial cavalry force, about thirty thousand in number, rapidly approaching them.
This force was prised entirely of Cavalry.
Among them, there were ten thousand light cavalry, and the remaining were all heavy cavalry.
The most eye-catching were about five hundred dragon knights from the Blood Color Guard clad in blood-red armor in the center of these heavy cavalry, as well as another two thousand dragon knights in armor of various colors.
Encircled by these two thousand five hundred dragon knights, a golden canopy was spread wide, under which one could vaguely see flickers of light from faint Douqi.
A middle-aged man in golden armor sat astride a Golden Crystal Tyrant Dragon, giving some orders.
Ye Yinzhu flew through the sky while the Horn Eagle Knights, having released several volleys of arrows to stop the enemy, had caught up and were flying up front.
Oliveira quickly caught up to Ye Yinzhu, and he obviously had also seen the scene unfolding below.
On the Ryuzakinus Continent, yellow is almost the symbol of the Royal Family in every kingdom, holding true for both Milan and Landias, as well as other kingdoms.
That yellow silk canopy was proof enough of many things, let alone the golden armor worn by the person seated on the back of a Golden Crystal Tyrant Dragon, which was so clear from a bird’s-eye view in the sky.
That Golden Crystal Tyrant Dragon was extraordinarily large, even bigger than the one Oliveira’s elder brother had ridden before, its dazzling golden scales plementing its owner’s golden armor.
Despite the distance, both Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira could still feel an oppressive nobility radiating from this person.
Additionally, considering that tens of thousands of knights were guarding this individual as the center of their formation, his identity seemed self-evident.
After exchanging a glance with Ye Yinzhu, Oliveira nearly simultaneously exclaimed, “King of Flore?”
As thoughts rapidly fell into place in his mind, Ye Yinzhu immediately figured out that the appearance of the King of Flore must be because of the anxiety he had felt when Ye Yinzhu led the Qin City Army in attacking Phaedra City.
For safety, the king must have e outside the city to await news, and also because cavalry could not be effectively deployed within the city, but in the plains outside, they were the strongest military branch.
As a result, only the most elite cavalry, including dragon knights, the Blood Color Guard, and heavy armored cavalry, appeared around him.
By now, those thirty thousand cavalry had begun to move, charging with the thunderous roar of charging steeds toward the direction of the Qin City warriors who had just burst out of the city.
The last terrifying collision by Glacis had caused intense panic among the people of Flore inside the city.
However, since they were observing from a different angle, these cavalry on the other side of Phaedra City, although also aware of the special circumstances, were not as shocked as the soldiers within the city.
Therefore, upon discovering the Qin City Army burst out of Phaedra City, the army mander immediately issued the order to pursue.
“Yin Zhu,” Zi’s call echoed from the depths of his spirit; in the next moment, Ye Yinzhu had disappeared from Oliveira’s side to appear among the Qin City Army.
Zi’s expression was serious, the massive figure of the War Behemoth Glacis had disappeared, and now before Ye Yinzhu was a large bald man who had reverted to his human form.
A rank Nine Beast transforming into a human consumes some of its energy, but a rank Ten Divine Beast does so more to reduce their own energy consumption, given that their true forms tend to be huge.
At this moment, it was evident Glacis’s transformation wasn’t self-induced as his usually proud body now lay collapsed on the ground, seemingly unconscious and extremely pale, as if drained of strength.
“Yin Zhu, many of the brothers who broke out are injured; use the Life Storage Gem,” Zi said in a deep voice.
Ye Yinzhu nodded.
The tens of thousands of approaching cavalry left him no time to carefully check Glacis’s condition.
The pink gemstone emitted its proper glow as Ye Yinzhu quickly moved, starting with Glacis, he brought the hundred most severely wounded of the Qin City contingent into his Life Storage Gem.
Only by doing so could they minimize unnecessary losses in the uping battle.
Oliveira’s giant dragon folded its wings and landed beside Ye Yinzhu.
Sitting on the dragon’s back, Oliveira said to Ye Yinzhu, “Do we leave or fight?
Our brothers inside the city have already expended a lot, and while the enemy is not numerous, without Glacis, should we avoid their sharp edge for now?”
