These massive forces were naturally not the surviving remnants from Phaedra City, but Kusler and his hundred thousand Light Cavalry who finally returned from the front lines.

And the original fifty thousand reinforcements from Landias and Bo Pang.

These fifty thousand had not suffered significant losses in Phaedra City, still numbering over forty thousand.

After joining up with Kusler’s Light Cavalry, they hurried over.

The magic of the Elven Saintesses had successfully held up this large army for a considerable amount of time.

Delavalle was anxious, nothing could go wrong here, or else he would have even more trouble explaining it to Landias and Bo Pang.

Unfortunately, they were still one step too late.

When Kusler saw the billowing smoke rising in the distance, he knew something was wrong and immediately ordered to advance at full speed.

However, when he led the massive army to the campsite, all that was left was a sea of flames, not even a trace of the Qin City Warriors.

The battle, from the moment the Tree Spirit Druid launched the first spear to the end of bat techniques, lasted less than an hour.

The Qin City Warriors had almost perfectly executed the essence of blitzkrieg.

Powerful Fire Magic instantly turned the enemy’s supplies into ashes.

Even though the fire would burn for quite some time, Kusler with his hundreds of thousands of troops, particularly in the dry winter weather, without any water sources or Water Attribute Mages around, could do nothing but watch the supplies continue to burn.

After a circuitous retreat, various Qin City forces returned to their previous resting spots, while Ye Yinzhu and the Behemoth Beasts had already returned through the Teleportation Magic Circle Formation.

Their location was now behind Kusler’s hundred thousand-strong army.

Horned Hawk Knights took to the air in formation, vigilantly scouting the movements of the enemy army.

“Thrilling, it’s truly thrilling.

The people of Flore probably can’t even cry out now.

I’d really like to see King Delavalle’s expression when he finds out the supplies meant for the Beastman have been burned to ashes,” Oliveira couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

He had the clearest view from the sky and the fire had been much more effective than expected, which, of course, was all thanks to Ye Yinzhu’s shared magic power.

“Yin Zhu, the enemy has e in such large numbers, and they are all cavalry, judging from their banners, it seems to be Flore’s army from the front line.

What should we do next?” After his laughter, Oliveira immediately regained his posure, for a mander must always be ready to plan the next move.

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “This time really was exhilarating.

For Landias and Bo Pang to transport another batch of supplies like this, it will probably take a few more months.

I wonder if the Three Great Beastman Tribes will stop their advance due to lack of food.

We’ve been in Flore for quite a while.

Apart from Phaedra City, we’ve achieved all our other strategic goals.

Unfortunately, we still haven’t managed to truly destroy Flore’s main forces.”

Oliveira said, “Yin Zhu, you’ve done very well, breaking through Flore’s Army and creating chaos in their rear.

Now, Flore is probably in a state of emergency on all fronts.

To launch an effective attack on our Eastern Military Corps in Milan again, they wouldn’t be able to do so in just a few months.

With this time to regroup, I believe our Eastern Military Corps could also expand.

Moreover, although we didn’t pletely shatter the heartstrings of Flore in this operation, we did deal a destructive blow to them, and truly hurt their vitality.

In my opinion, Flore is no longer a threat to Milan.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “That may be true, but Flore still has hundreds of thousands of troops.

As long as this army exists, it poses a significant threat to Milan, restraining our activities on the eastern front.

Unfortunately, we are far too few to cause them any more damage.

Marshal Hilton was right; after all, this is Flore’s territory, and our few thousand could be wiped out in an instant if we’re not careful.

Qin City has only so much to offer; we can’t afford any more losses.

Therefore, I’ve decided to temporarily return to Qin City for refurbishment.

We’ll have to coordinate with Milan on what to do next.

It’s been over half a year since we left, and it’s time for our brothers to go home and rest.”

Oliveira chuckled and said, “It seems we’ve e to the same conclusion again.

Sustained bat is indeed the best way to improve the fighters’ capabilities, but it can also lead to psychological fatigue if it goes on for too long.

Adjusting in Qin City is the best choice.

After we get there, I’ll visit my grandfather to report on our situation and then confirm our next move.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “This time, Qin City has indeed served Milan Empire quite a bit.

I hope Granny Nina has fulfilled her promises.

That way, we’ll be able to cooperate even better.”

Oliveira said irritably, “Yin Zhu, you’re getting stingier.

Not to mention, even if this battle wasn’t for Milan, it’s been greatly beneficial for Qin City.

Qin City is within the Milan Empire and quite a distance from the eastern front.

For the people of Flore to retaliate against Qin City, they must first break through Milan’s defenses on the east line.

And how much loot did we gather in this war?

To tell you the truth, I’m downright envious.

At least one quarter of the wealth of the Flore nobles has now fallen into your hands.

While Burna Mountain Range might be vast, pared to the wealth you’ve plundered, it’s nothing.

After all, what you’ve looted is from an entire Kingdom.”

Thinking of the war ing to a close and the prospect of returning to Qin City, Ye Yinzhu’s mood also relaxed considerably.

He heh hehed and said, “Big brother, you don’t know the cost of household expenses when you are not in charge.

The huge Qin City will soon be weling millions of new residents.

How can I not work hard on its development?

Don’t be envious, you’ve put in your effort too, and I’ve been keeping your share safe all along.

Whenever you decide to settle down in Qin City, I will definitely build you a home in the most beautiful part of the Burna Mountain Range.”

Oliveira glared at Ye Yinzhu and said, “You cheeky fellow, are you trying to bribe me?”

Ye Yinzhu shrugged and replied, “You could say that.”

Seeing his somewhat brazen demeanor, Oliveira couldn’t help feeling deflated and sighed.

“After manding the Qin City Warriors, I’m afraid manding any other troops in the future will seem dull.

The Qin City Warriors are the strongest I’ve seen in any army.

Yinzhu, maybe one day I really will settle in Qin City.

But not now.

My homeland is facing a critical existential threat; how could I abandon it?

Besides, my family and the Empire have long bee one.”

Ye Yinzhu patted his shoulder, “I understand your dilemma, but remember, no matter when, you’re always my good older brother.”

The two exchanged a look and a knowing smile.

Oliveira couldn’t help saying, “Thank goodness you’re not an enemy of the Empire, or else I’d really worry for it.”

Having decided the movements of Qin City, Ye Yinzhu didn’t delay any further.

The group of more than three thousand people headed back to Qin City, and after some thought, Ye Yinzhu considered that teleportation through a magic circle wasn’t impossible.

After all, his magic power had reached the Seventh Rank of Zi level.

Originally, teleporting a hundred people at a time was a significant burden, but now it would be much easier.

Calculating two hundred people per teleportation, roughly twenty times should suffice.

Considering the Horned Hawk Knights and Dragon Wolves had to be included, twenty teleportations, if he were fully energized, would take about three days.

That was much better than trekking all the way back.

Of course, to carry out three days of uninterrupted teleportation, choosing a safe location was of utmost importance.

After dealing with their scorched supply camps, Flore’s army of over a hundred thousand was bound to search everywhere for Qin City Warriors.

After a brief rest, the Qin City Army set off again, this time changing direction and heading north.

The Northern region of the Flore Kingdom, now free of the threat from the Beastman Clan, was evidently the most vulnerable.

With aerial reconnaissance from Horned Hawk Knights, as long as they could shake off Kusler’s light cavalry, they could begin teleporting back to Qin City.

Ten days later, having pletely lost Kusler’s encirclement with the proficient scouting of the Horned Hawk Knights, the Qin City Army began their teleportation home from within a forest.

Choosing the forest as the teleportation point was, of course, because of the support from Elven Saintess’ nature magic.

With nature magic as a defense, even if enemies were to arrive, they could hold them off for a while.

The first to be teleported were the several races of Druids, starting with the Raptor Druids, followed by the Tree Spirit Druids, Claw Druids.

Then came the Eastern Dragon Soldiers, Dragon Wolf Cavalry, some Horned Hawk Knights, and Behemoth Beasts.

The Horned Hawk Knights who were left to scout were teleported last.

Following the order from the weakest to the strongest ensured maximum safety for the teleportation.

…

Qin City.

The Lord’s Mansion.

With a flash of purple light, Ye Yinzhu and a hundred Raptor Druids simultaneously appeared inside the mansion.

As they appeared, the people who were in the midst of a meeting inside the mansion were startled.

Interestingly enough, at this moment in the great hall of the mansion, Anya, the Elders of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, Haiyang, Dwarf Tribe Elders, and Goblin Tribe Elders were all present and seemed to be discussing something.

The sudden appearance of the purple light didn’t give them time to react before the previously empty hall was filled to the brim.
