742: Chapter 236: Troops Head to the Northern Border (Part 1)_1 742: Chapter 236: Troops Head to the Northern Border (Part 1)_1 Oliveira said irritably, “You don’t know, that time Grandfather was almost angered to death by you.
The Falcon Dragon Cavalry can be regarded as the ace of aces among our Northern Legion.
All right, enough about that.
Among the other main fighting corps of the Beastman Clan, the most important and powerful are the Lion Men, Tiger People, and Bear People.
These three types of Beastmen are from the royal families of the Thunder God Tribe, War God Tribe, and Solomon Tribe respectively.
Their fighting power is extremely formidable.
Especially the Golden Legion posed of fifty thousand Lion Men from the Thunder God Tribe, they are invincible.
Their bat power is no less impressive than our Dragon Cavalry, and they outnumber us.
The White Tiger Legion of the War God Tribe is also almost as strong, only slightly inferior to the Golden Legion.
These two legions, along with the Legion of Berserker Bear from the Solomon Tribe, are known as the three great royal legions of the Beastman Clan.”
Upon hearing Oliveira’s words, Zi scoffed disdainfully, “What royalty are they?
They’re nothing more than jumping clowns.”
Oliveira said, “Of course, these three great royal legions can’t pare with the Behemoth Beasts, but, the number of Behemoth Beasts is small, and most importantly, they lack leaders.
Despite their strong individual strength, the Behemoth Beasts also have huge consumption needs, which is why most Behemoth choose to join the tribes.”
Zi sighed deeply, “Two major tribes have stationed a million troops at the Northern Border.
It seems, the battle we are facing this time is not that simple.
Guti, I am back.
This time, you will pay the due price for the atrocities you mitted against my family.”
Northern Frontier of the Milan Empire.
Marshal Martin had just received a letter sent by a messenger from Oliveira.
This was the third time the Marshal was carefully reading the letter, excitement unmistakable in his eyes.
“What was destined to e has finally arrived.
Beastman Clan, this time you may have a tough time ahead.
Summon someone.”
“Yes, Marshal.”
Marshal Martin said in a deep voice, “Relay my mand, prepare the third and sixth divisions of the Northern Legion for deployment at a moment’s notice.
Also, send a magic message to the military department for reinforcement supplies.
Make sure they deliver a supply batch at least double the previous amount in the shortest time possible.”
“Yes.”
Ever since the cease-fire between Milan and Landias, the Beastman side also recuperated and temporarily ceased their aggression toward Milan.
During these less than two years of warfare, countless lives have been lost on this battlefield spanning hundreds of miles between the two sides.
However, whether attacking the walls of the other’s cities, neither side could advance further.
The Beastmen were poor at sieging, and the Northern Legion had to face the Forbidden Magic Field of the Thor Hammer Fort, rendering the mages powerless.
In continuous back-and-forth battles, the lives of over seventy thousand soldiers from the Northern Legion were forever lost on these battlefields, while the number of fallen Beastman Soldiers was more than double that of the humans.
This battlefield could be described as the most dreadful meat grinder since the war began, universally acknowledged as such.
The Northern Legion was the most elite force of the Milan Empire, and despite the continuous reinforcement of reservist soldiers, the death toll was a significant pressure and pain for Marshal Martin.
These were the troops he had personally trained, each one akin to his child.
But war is cruel, and even as a marshal, he could only feel helpless.
The Qin City Army was about to arrive, and all this helplessness might e to an end with their arrival.
Marshal Martin had not felt this excited in a long time.
He had no doubts about the strength of Qin City.
If he couldn’t believe in others, wouldn’t he still believe in his most outstanding grandson?
The reason he decided to deploy troops after reading the letter from Oliveira three times was mainly due to the shockingly sensational news it contained.
Qin City had apparently withstood the invasion of the Dragon Clan with their strong defensive power and the united force of many powerful individuals.
Nearly half of the close to a thousand giant dragons were decimated.
They subdued over two hundred dragons.
Not a single person from Qin City died, and just over a thousand were wounded.
Oliveira only wrote such a simple sentence in his letter, yet it was this sentence that almost brought on a heart attack for Marshal Martin.
A few days ago, Matlachi, the head of the mage group of the Northern Legion, had already reported to him of an extremely intense magic fluctuation ing from the direction of Qin City, affecting even their side.
The source of this magic fluctuation was now clear.
It was the eruption from the grand battle between Qin City and the Dragon Clan!
What kind of strength would it take to oppose the entire Dragon Clan?
Marshall Martin himself was a Purple Star Dragon Knight, and he acutely knew how terrifying the prowess of giant dragons could be.
Nearly a thousand adult giant dragons—they were too much for even his entire Northern Legion to withstand their magic onslaught.
How on earth did Qin City manage this?
This information was tightly sealed by Marshall Martin.
Now, within the entire military camp, only he and Matlachi were aware of it.
Up to this moment, the heart rates of these two brothers remained exceedingly high.
An army capable of contending with the Dragon Clan Army was about to bee their ally; the extinction of the Beastman Clan was indeed imminent.
Especially since, within the ranks of Qin City’s army, they possessed the Amethyst Behemoth, a symbol of the king of the Beastman Clan.
“Younger brother, what’s your take on Qin City’s bat power?” Despite being certain about Qin City’s terrifying capabilities, Marshall Martin couldn’t help but ask Matlachi in his excitement.
Matlachi rubbed his hands together, as excited as his older brother.
“Do you even need to ask?
Big brother, back then, Qin City initially sent just thousands to the Eastern Border and resolved Flore Kingdom’s offensive.
It’s said they even raided Flore Nobles heavily, acquiring a large amount of wealth.
According to Oliveira, the reinforcements from Qin City this time are far more than just a few thousand people.
Including four main infantry corps with sixty thousand troops, nearly ten thousand cavalrymen, and the Qin City’s two ace corps—the Behemoth Beast and Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf.
Such bat power, I believe, is undoubtedly much stronger than the two army groups you’re preparing to send to the main battlefield.
But how strong they truly are, we can only find out on the battlefield.”
Marshall Martin nodded, “Younger brother, it’s been many years since I’ve looked forward to something like I do now.
To be honest, I really hope Ye Yinzhu can arrive at Holy Light City as soon as possible.”
Matlachi sighed and said, “This young man is a legend in himself.
Speaking of which, if we had tried to win him over earlier, perhaps…”
Marshall Martin waved his hand, signaling Matlachi not to continue, “It’s not too late.
At least, he has a very good relationship with Oliveira.
I’ve made up my mind.
When Qin City’s army arrives at Holy Light City, I will announce that the position of the leading heir to the Zi Luolan Family will be inherited by Okaful.”
Upon hearing Marshall Martin’s words, Matlachi was suddenly shocked, “Big brother, how can you do this?
Oliveira is the most outstanding among the young generation.
By doing this, you’ll chill the heart of that child!
Although Okaful is also excellent, he is still quite lacking pared to Oliveira.
Oliveira should have already reached the Initial Zi rank.
Big brother, this matter concerns the future of our Zi Luolan family; you can’t make a hasty decision.
Within the family, it has already been recognized that Oliveira will bee the future Clan Leader.
If you change this now, I fear it will cause instability within the family.”
Marshall Martin said, “I have decided this exactly for the sake of the family.
Can’t you see that at the moment, Qin City is in a turbulent phase?
The future holds only two possibilities.
Let me ask you, what is the foundation of Qin City?”
Matlachi did not expect Marshall Martin to suddenly change the subject and subconsciously replied, “It should be the Eastern Dragon Empire and those several different races, right?”
Marshall Martin nodded, “That was indeed the case before, but ever since we sent more than two million descendants of the Eastern Dragon into Qin City, the foundation of Qin City has inclined more towards the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
Of course, Qin City has resolved this very well.
According to Oliveira’s letter, the various clans in Qin City have now pletely integrated with each other, undivided.
Even the Eastern Dragon Empire has restored the title of the Eight Sects.
In this respect, I truly admire Ye Yinzhu.”
Matlachi, puzzled, said, “What does this have to do with your decision to make Okaful the family heir?”
Marshall Martin explained, “Of course, it’s related.
Since the foundation of Qin City is the People of Dong Long, it will inevitably agitate Faran.
Have you forgotten our last battle with Qin City?
If not for the Faran’s Codex, why would we have had to fight Qin City?
That is to say, between Qin City and Faran, there is an irreconcilable conflict over the issue of the Eastern Dragon.
Sooner or later, a battle with Qin City is inevitable for Faran.”
Matlachi was startled, “Faran has been closed off for ten years, and it’s been less than two years since that started.
So, are you saying Qin City only has eight more years to survive?”
Marshall Martin sneered, “I used to think so too, but now it seems it’s not so simple.
First of all, can Faran truly destroy Qin City?
In the past, I might have thought so, but from this recent event where Qin City managed to rout the invading Dragon Clan without a single casualty, it’s clear that Qin City is not so easily dealt with.
Given another eight years of development, it’s not certain who the victor will be.
Secondly, Faran has announced a ten-year closure, but according to information we’ve obtained, the Master of the Dark Tower has appeared in Landias Empire, and even got repelled by Ye Yinzhu leading the Four Sacred Beasts.
Since someone from Faran appeared during the closure period, it means that Faran’s self-imposed closure is not absolute.”
