738: Chapter 234: The Trident in the Hands of the Zither Emperor (Part 3)_1 738: Chapter 234: The Trident in the Hands of the Zither Emperor (Part 3)_1 Undoubtedly, the body of a mage is fragile, but with the protection of mighty dragons, especially magic dragons like the Silver Dragons, their magic can be used to its full extent, ensuring their personal safety at the same time.
Elf mages do not fall into this category, mainly because their greatest potential lies in the forests.
Soaring into the sky on dragons would actually limit their power.
The Zither Emperor’s Twelve Musician Lanes proudly received eleven Silver Dragons as their mounts.
Haiyang already had a pair of Snow Dragon Leopards, so she did not need one.
The remaining Silver and Black Dragon mages were primarily from the four magical clans of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
The strongest mages chosen from these clans thus gained powerful steeds.
As for Metal Dragons, mages were somewhat unsuitable for them.
They needed the collaboration of powerful warriors.
A fierce style was most suitable.
Ye Yinzhu selected the most formidable warriors from the four martial arts clans of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans to bee their knights.
This bat legion, posed entirely of Dragon Magic Masters and Metal Dragon Knights, was termed the “Qin City Imperial Dragon Knights” by Ye Yinzhu.
He appointed his two wives as the two team leaders.
Sura was in charge of the Dragon Knights of the Metal Dragons, and Haiyang managed the mages on the other side.
Since the Giant Dragon Knight Group was prised entirely of high-ranking ninth-level giant dragons, bined with the power of the Zither Emperor’s Twelve Music Squares, it immediately became the third-largest legion in Qin City, standing in line with the Legion of Behemoth Beasts and the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry.
Future generations referred to these three cavalry groups as the “Trident in the Hands of the Zither Emperor”.
The Dragon Clan had destroyed the centre of Qin City, so then Ye Yinzhu’s residence and Qin City’s highest meeting room were relocated to the mountains.
Currently, the city’s major figures were all present in the meeting room.
Ye Yinzhu, Wei Ming, Anya, the leaders of the three cavalry groups, Oliveira, the leaders of the four infantry legions, and Peja, the first-time attendee and leader of the long-range infantry group, were present.
Wei Ming advised, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, you’ve only recently gotten married.
The period of newlywed bliss is the best time for rest.
Over the years, you’ve worked hard enough for Qin City.”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, saying, “My decision is final.
Without subduing the Beastman Clan, we won’t be able to fully focus on building Qin City, nor confront Faran head-on.
Once we resolve the Beastman issue, the entire continent’s situation will be overturned.
Whether for us or for the Milan Empire, it is of utmost importance.
Once we resolve the threat from the Beastmen, then the Northernmost Wilderness bees our secure rear area in Qin City, and there would be no more need for any precautions in the future.
When the threat of the Beastmen is removed, we can even withdraw the Milan Empire’s elite Northern Legion to the front line.
If Marshal Maldini, the Shield of Milan, and Marshal Side of the Milan Spear join forces, Landias wouldn’t have any opportunities left.
At that time, no matter what happens, we’ll have time to react.”
Oliveira on the side said, “From a tactical and strategic perspective, Yinzhu, I fully support your decision.
However, just as the elder said, you’ve just married, and you’re going to the battlefield now.
It’s really unfair to you.
You are also human and need rest.
You’ve already put in a lot of effort for Qin City.”
Ye Yinzhu smirked and said, “Brother, do you think I want to go to the front line?
Although I don’t, I have no choice.
The efforts we make now are for the sake of future enjoyment.
With our efforts, one day when the continent is free of war, it will be challenging for you to ask me to step in.” His somewhat humorous tone instantly lightened the atmosphere of the high-level meeting.
Seeing their persuasion to no avail, everyone could only shake their heads helplessly.
Ye Yinzhu’s ability as the most proficient expert of Qin City was, after all, well respected.
Except for extremely special circumstances, no one would dare defy his wishes.
Anya asked, “Alright then, Yinzhu, which legions of our Qin City do you plan to take to the North?”
Ye Yinzhu obviously had already thought about who he would bring to the Northernmost Wilderness, “I will take all Four Sacred Beasts, along with the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry, the Behemoth Beast Legion, and two thousand from the Horned Hawk Knights, as the Beastman Clan also have aerial forces.
Simultaneously, I plan on bringing the entire four battalions of Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, and the Knight Group, a total of 70,000.
As for the Druids, I won’t bring them this time.
As per the plan, let the Druids cooperate in training with the newly-promoted Druid soldiers to guard Qin City.”
Unable to hold back, Sura said, “What about mine and Sister Haiyang’s Giant Dragon Knights?”
Ye Yinzhu replied, “You both will stay and guard Qin City.
With the Giant Dragon Knights assisting our full-scale Magic Cannons, even for Faran, Qin City’s sky can be considered a forbidden area.
I need to leave enough defence power since I’m taking so many legions.
Keeping in mind the peculiar nature of the Thor Hammer Fortress, all the mages from each legion are staying behind, along with the recently recruited giant dragons and their knights to guard Qin City.”
Haiyang said, “Yin Zhu, I have no objections with the giant Dragon Knights staying.
But take Sura and me with you.
We won’t cause you any trouble.”
Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly.
Although he longed to bring Haiyang and Sura with him, being Qin City’s highest mander, he couldn’t risk a negative public opinion due to his personal feelings.
Sister Haiyang’s words immediately received the response of others.
Supreme Elder Wei Ming said, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, you should take your two wives with you.
The Twelve Music Squares can greatly amplify your Divine Music Magic.
Now that you’ve lost your sight, having both your wives by your side to care for you would put our minds at ease.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and under the expectation of all, Ye Yinzhu had to agree to Sister Haiyang and Sura’s request.
Of course, the mounts of the Twelve Music Squares, the Silver Dragons, would remain in Qin City.
Not bringing the giant dragons to the battlefield was a carefully considered decision by Ye Yinzhu.
This time, when Qin City dispatched its massive troops to the Northernmost Wilderness, the last thing they wanted was to clash head-on with the enemy.
The Northernmost Wilderness, with the three major Beastman fortresses well-established over the years, couldn’t be easily taken.
Moreover, the Beastmen were vast in numbers, and almost every ordinary Beastman could serve as a warrior.
Conquering the vast land of the Northernmost Wilderness was certainly not something that could be done in a year or two.
The Four Sacred Beasts are the trump cards for this operation.
Ye Yinzhu’s main objective was to utilize their totem effects.
Giant Dragons have always been the natural enemy of the Beastman Clan and if they appeared amongst the Qin City Warriors, it would inevitably greatly reduce the influence of the Four Sacred Beasts, which would be very disadvantageous to Zi’s future governance over the Beastman Clan.
That’s why Ye Yinzhu ordered everyone to leave their dragons behind.
Even the knight group only led ordinary heavily armored knights to the Beastman Clan.
After hearing Ye Yinzhu’s plans, Oliveira couldn’t help but say, “Yin Zhu, removing so many powerful troops will greatly impact Qin City’s own defense.
If Faran truly declares war on Qin City, we wouldn’t be able to retreat in time.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “I’ve thought carefully about this issue as well.
Sister Anya and I had a discussion and decided that we need to increase the number of magic guide cannons within Qin City.
With the abundance of high-level crystal cores we received from the Dragon Clan and the ones we brought back from the Flore Empire, we have enough to power even more magic guide cannons.
This time, the magic guide cannons are mainly concentrated on the walls facing the Milan Empire, while also taking into account air and ground defense.
With the Demon Breaking Arrows, a strong long-range attack weapon of the Goblin Rippers, along with the remaining long-range army and the fighters of each clan, our defense is quite considerable.
After all, our main task when Faran attacks is to hold firm.
The strength of the infantry units would naturally decrease.
This is why I left the mages behind.
Furthermore, if Faran truly attacks, I will use the teleportation array to transport the strongest fighters back here immediately.
With my current mana, I am confident that within one hour, I could bring back the main battle forces such as the Legion of Behemoth Beasts, the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry, and the Twelve Music Squares among others.
Of course, this is just a conservative estimation.”
Oliveira said, “Yin Zhu, don’t underestimate our Four Great Infantry Legions of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum.
From my judgement, everyone in the four legions can use Douqi now.
It can be said that this is a legion made up entirely of real warriors.
Excluding Faran, it is an unprecedented all-Douqi battalion.
With their proficient Eastern Dragon martial skills, they could hold their own against any ground troops on the battlefield.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “There’s no helping it, the teleportation array can only transport a hundred people at a time.
The four major legions along with the Knight Group amount to almost seventy thousand people, it’s impossible to provide backup in a short period of time.
However, for the sake of pacifying the north, we have to take risks.
We don’t know when Faran will attack, but we can’t wait forever.”
At this moment, an excited voice echoed from outside the meeting room, “Who says you can’t teleport in large amounts?”
Hearing this voice, Supreme Elder Wei Ming couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
This was the highest meeting in Qin City, “Who dares to make a racket?”
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Don’t be angry, elder.
It’s Elder Guru from the Goblin Tribe.
It seems this wise elder is going to give us some pleasant surprises.”
As expected, Elder Guru rushed in from outside, full of excitement.
As the leading figure of the Goblin Tribe, the guards outside naturally wouldn’t stop him.
Usually, Guru, like the dwarf Rutzy, rarely attended Qin City’s battle meetings and mainly focused on building the city.
Guru’s sudden appearance surprised everyone.
Upon entering the conference room, Elder Guru laughed heartily, “Indeed, the Zither Emperor understands me best.
Your Excellency, I am here to report good news and ask for treasures.”
Ye Yinzhu was stunned and said, “Elder, what has made you so happy?
Seems like the Goblin Laboratory has e up with new products.”
