Zither Emperor Chapter 745 Chapter 237 Infiltrating Thor's Hammer Fortress

745: Chapter 237: Infiltrating Thor’s Hammer Fortress (Part 1)_1 745: Chapter 237: Infiltrating Thor’s Hammer Fortress (Part 1)_1 Ye Yinzhu paused for a moment, saying, “Zi, I have some bad news to tell you, so brace yourself.

The teleportation array we left in Thor’s Hammer Fortress has disappeared.

That means we cannot rely on the array to enter the fortress.

After Shan and Lei transformed, their ability to tunnel underground also disappeared.

Therefore, our only option is to sneak in from the front.”

After thinking for a while, Zi said, “I will enter the city first and then teleport you in.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, “No, let’s move together as brothers.

Even if we are discovered, who could stop us?”

This was the first time the teleportation array had failed, without a doubt it was due to the forbidden magic field in Thor’s Hammer Fortress.

Currently, it’s wartime, the fortress defense should be exceptionally rigorous, but even so, Ye Yinzhu and Zi didn’t pay much attention to it.

Time flew by quickly.

Ye Yinzhu had been cultivating all afternoon.

Although he has reached the biggest bottleneck in the cultivation process, daily training remained essential.

Phil Jackson once told him that cultivation was a process full of breakthroughs.

In order to break through the bottleneck, constant accumulation was required.

With enough accumulation, a qualitative change would occur.

Without the regular accumulation, how would a strong breakthrough be possible?

Therefore, not a single day had gone by without Ye Yinzhu cultivating.

Just as Ye Yinzhu anticipated, around evening, Marshal Martin sent someone to invite him as well as all the senior officers of Qin City to a weling banquet.

Ye Yinzhu naturally did not reject the hospitality of the Northern Legion and leaders from all regiments of Qin City had arrived.

Holy Light City was a military fortress, it did not have any extravagant palace buildings, almost all the structures were related to defensive works.

For instance, the large banquet hall Ye Yinzhu and the others had arrived at stood only five meters high, being entirely made out of the most solid granite.

Ye Yinzhu believed that if they removed the dining tables in front and replaced them with a sand table, it would immediately bee a frontline mand center.

The Martin brothers and nearly one hundred high-ranking officers from the Northern Legion greeted the arrival of the Qin City officers with the highest military honors.

Twenty banquet tables were prepared.

There were no delicacies, just simple and practical foods.

Eating large amounts of meat and drinking large mouthfuls of alcohol, that was the style of soldiers.

Seeing the food and beverages on the table, the officers from Qin City instantly grew fonder of the Milan Northern Corps.

Out of them all, the most obvious was the most famous glutton of Qin City, Glacis.

When they were in Qin City, Ye Yinzhu had strictly limited the rations of Glacis.

Although the food he consumed daily was still horrific, it was much less pared to when he was in the Flore Empire.

Of course, in return, Ye Yinzhu would play the Peiyuan Calm Heart Melody for the Four Sacred Beasts every day, preventing Glacis’s strength from decreasing due to hunger.

So, when Glacis saw so much food, he instantly asked Marshal Martin, “Old man, is there enough food to fill me up?”

The officers beside Marshal Martin almost revolted due to Glacis’s question, but Martin managed to hold them back.

Although Glacis was in human form, who was Martin?

Of course, he could tell that this bald man was the mount Ye Yinzhu rode when he came to Holy Light City, one of the Four Sacred Beasts from Qin City.

He didn’t want his men stirring up trouble with him.

He smiled and replied, “Of course it’s enough.

As long as you’re here, you should consider it your own home.

Our Northern Legion can’t guarantee many things, but we can definitely ensure there will be enough food.”

Glacis grinned, “Then I can rest assured.

Old man, you are quite nice.”

Hearing Glacis’s words, the officers from Qin City around him rolled their eyes, thinking, as long as someone lets you eat to your heart’s content, you’d probably consider them nice.

Martin didn’t take Glacis’s words to heart and made a weling gesture to Ye Yinzhu, “Please have a seat, brothers from Qin City who have traveled from afar.

Holy Light City doesn’t have much to offer, but we’ve got plenty of meat and wine.

Feel free to enjoy yourselves.”

Ye Yinzhu and Martin sat in the most important seats.

Whether they were from the Northern Legion or Qin City, all of them were military generals, so naturally they would not be reserved.

The feast started with great joy, clinking glasses and enjoying hearty meals.

The food on the table was simple, but the Northern Legion chefs had indeed good cooking skills.

They roasted the meat just right, and the officers from Qin City enjoyed it a lot.

Of course, Ye Yinzhu, who had lost his sense of taste, was an exception.

He could smell the aroma but couldn’t taste anything.

This was absolutely a torment.

Fortunately, he didn’t have much desire for delicacies, and he had to cover it up as much as possible so that others, especially Sura, wouldn’t notice.

After the third round of wine, as the officers of both sides drank more, the initial restraint was gradually loosened, and they began to make toasts to each other.

When the Martin brothers led the Northern Legion of three hundred thousand to Qin City, they were dealt with by Ye Yinzhu alone using the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This left a deep impression on the Northern Legion and also became their greatest shame since the Legion was established.

At this moment, although both sides had bee allies and wouldn’t raise their hands against each other, there was a subtle sense of petitiveness among the leaders of the Northern Legion.

Thus, led by a few Venus Dragon Knights, they began to toast the generals of Qin City.

Unable to defeat them on the battlefield, outdrinking them at the party would still count as a victory.

Among men, especially among soldiers, the dining table is an alternative battlefield.

The number of senior officers in Qin City was limited, only a few legion’s heads, not more than a dozen in total.

When pared to the hundreds of senior officers in the Northern Legion, it was nearly a ten-to-one ratio.

As the toasting menced, the officers of Qin City gradually understood the intention of the Northern Legion – they wanted to get them drunk.

The Qin City officers thought, alright, bring it on.

Feeling the atmosphere of the venue, Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly and said to Marshal Martin next to him, “Marshal, we shouldn’t drink too much.

We still have to battle the Beastman Clan tomorrow.”

Martin gave a slight smile and said, “No worries.

You guys have just arrived in Holy Light City, you ought to have a few days of rest.

It’s not often that everyone gathers together, so let’s enjoy ourselves today.”

Normally, Martin, with his strict military discipline, would never say things like this.

But today was different.

Although his subordinates were acting on their own, Martin was still haunted by their previous defeat, and such an opportunity was not to be missed.

However, something astounding happened soon after.

At the beginning of the banquet, after receiving the news that Martin wouldn’t interfere, Glacis sat alone at a table near the entrance.

He constantly asked the servers to bring a variety of food, and because he was at the door, most of it was eaten immediately as it was served.

Since everyone else was busy drinking, no one really noticed him.

As time passed, Glacis had also eaten a lot.

He left his table by the door and returned to the main hall, just in time to see the officers of the Northern Legion lining up to toast the generals of Qin City.

When it came to drinking, Ye Li feared no one.

As the head of the Zhu Sect and the mander of the Arrogant Bamboo Legion, he was the first to block the opponents’ toasts.

When the wine came, his cup was emptied without hesitation.

After drinking more than thirty cups in succession, Ye Li, despite his strong capabilities, was starting to breathe heavily and his face was turning slightly red.

However, he was also aware that his side was outnumbered, and he could not afford to back down easily.

Therefore, he was still persevering.

While drinking, Ye Li also pondered, if he had known these guys would propose a drinking contest, he would’ve eaten less roast meat earlier.

“Old man, let me drink for a while.

I ate too much just now and I’m thirsty,” Glacis walked over just as Ye Li was struggling to keep up, grabbed a large jug of wine from the side, and stood in front of Ye Li.

A Venus Dragon Knight, who was about to toast Ye Li, suddenly saw the tall and robust Glacis blocking his view and he was startled.

Glacis grinned and said, “e on, my Milan brothers, I’ll drink with you.

Forget about using bowls.

When would we quench our thirst like that?

Let’s use the jugs instead.

I’ll go first.”

As he spoke, Glacis lifted his head and gulped down the contents of the jug.

It must be known that this jug was filled with twenty pounds of potent wine, extremely high in alcohol content.

The Venus Dragon Knight, not willing to be outdone, also grabbed a jug from the side and poured it down his throat.

He finished his drink, but the next moment, he started to sway like a crab, barely able to remain standing.

But Glacis didn’t care much about that.

He grabbed two more jugs with each hand and gulped them down.

While drinking, he didn’t forget to greet the officers of the Milan Northern Legion, “Drink up, e on, don’t be shy.

Let’s all do it together.”

At that, the officers of the Northern Legion were immediately frustrated.

This was their territory, who would be polite to you?

What followed turned the banquet into Glacis’s solo performance.

On the drinking field, he too showed the momentum of being invincible, singlehandedly outdrinking many senior officers of the Northern Legion.
