746: Chapter 237: Infiltrating Thor’s Hammer Fortress (Part 2)_1 746: Chapter 237: Infiltrating Thor’s Hammer Fortress (Part 2)_1 Even Lian Glasius himself didn’t know how much strong wine he had consumed.
He just knew when he finally stopped, he was full and satisfied.
At this stage, other than the Martin brothers, few in the Northern Legion could even stand straight.
Martin couldn’t help but ask Ye Yinzhu, who was sipping his drink with elegance, “Does this one have a bottomless stomach?”
Ye Yinzhu gave a slight smile, saying, “Marshal, if you had seen him in the Flore Empire devouring food meant for thousands, you wouldn’t find this strange.
I also think his stomach is a bottomless pit.
I can hardly afford to feed him.
If it weren’t for your treat, I would never bring him here.”
Martin tentatively suggested, “If that’s the case, how about we have him stay with our Northern Legion after the war?
Our legion’s rations are the most abundant.
It should be enough for his appetite.”
Never mind how much he eats, he’s a War Behemoth, a definite weapon in any battlefield.
If the Northern Legion had his help, wouldn’t the Landias Army’s defenses fall instantly?
Ye Yinzhu gave a slight smile and said, “I have no objection, but, you’ll have to ask him.
Glasius is my rade, not my subordinate.”
Martin rejoiced inwardly, thinking that he really had a chance.
Forgetting about his marshal rank, he stood up and went straight to Glasius.
Glasius had indeed drunk a lot.
Even his strong body was feeling somewhat dizzy.
Seeing someone approaching him, he said, “Drinks, you say?
Let’s have it.
How will we do it?”
Martin quickly said, “I’m not here to drink with you.
Brother, let’s talk about something.
As long as you’re willing to stay with our Northern Legion, we’ll ensure you have enough food and drink.”
Glasius blinked, and hearing the promise of ample supply of food, he instantly sobered up, and with wide eyes asked Martin, “Really?
Enough food?”
Martin replied solemnly, “Of course.
As the mander of the Northern Legion of the Milan Empire, would I lie to you?”
Glasius looked towards Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu slowly sipped his wine, occasionally speaking to Zi in a low voice next to him, and didn’t pay any attention to them.
After thinking for a bit, Glasius said, “Alright then.
I agree.
However, if there’s a day when you don’t provide food, I’ll leave.”
Martin clenched his teeth and said, “Deal.
As for Yinzhu…”
Glasius interjected, “That’s easily sorted.
I’ll brief his Excellency, the Zither Emperor.
He’d be delighted to have someone else feed me.
He always said that I’ve eaten Qin city broke.
Sir, you’re a good man.”
As Glasius spoke, both he and Martin laughed.
Unbeknownst to Martin, Ye Yinzhu also chuckled at their conversation.
The banquet concluded with everyone in a jovial spirit.
Ye Yinzhu and Zi left the banquet hall, and asked Haiyang and Sura to go back to their rooms and rest first, telling them that they were going for a walk to inspect the troop’s condition.
The two women did not suspect anything and left.
The moonlight was cold and the chilly wind blew relentlessly from the North.
Despite the thick city walls, the temperature inside Holy Light City remained low.
On top of the city wall, two tall men stood quietly, gazing at the North under the clear moonlight, which only made them feel colder.
The young man on the left was about 1.9 meters tall.
He had a slender figure, not overly broad-shouldered, but his body was well proportioned.
He wore a beige magic robe which highlighted his identity as a mage.
His neat, black hair rested on his shoulders, his handsome face under the moonlight appeared flawless.
The man standing next to him was even taller, over 2 meters in height with a granite-like physique.
He wore a purple outfit matching his hair and the bright amethyst-colored eyes that were fixedly staring at the North.
His clenched fists revealed his unease.
“The moon is really bright tonight, it doesn’t seem to be a good time,” Zi said softly.
Ye Yinzhu smiled, “Does that have any effect on us?”
A simple answer, yet one revealed a profound self-confidence.
A heroic spirit surged within Zi, “Indeed, what impact can this have on us?
Let’s go.”
The city’s parapets were filled with Qin City’s soldiers.
Since the Qin City Army took up residence, Martin assigned a small portion of the city’s defense to the soldiers of Qin City to guard.
Consequently, behind Ye Yinzhu and Zi stood the men from the four great infantry legions of Qin City.
Of course, they recognized the two figures in front of them, the Zither Emperor and Emperor Zi, symbols of Qin City.
Every warrior beheld them with reverential eyes, in their hearts, Emperor Zither, Emperor Zi, and the gods were not much different.
Ye Yinzhu turned his body, showing the Qin City soldiers in charge of defending the city a warm smile.
He exposed his pearly white teeth, “Keep this a secret.” Once his words fell, both he and Zi leaped towards the city below.
As the first major stronghold of Milan’s Northern Zone, confronting Thor’s Hammer Fort, the Holy Light City’s walls stood nearly a hundred meters high.
But when the two jumped down like that, not a single solider from Qin City thought it was abrupt.
They seemed to take for granted that they ought to possess such strength.
Their silhouettes were particularly prominent under the illumination of the moonlight, but Ye Yinzhu made no effort to disguise it.
Two figures, one white, one purple, leapt forward and a purple light simultaneously shone on them mid-air.
Like a dazzling tail flame, it guided their bodies’ star-like jump.
In a blink of an eye, they already disappeared into the vast night.
Rapid movement brings a fortable feeling, and neither Ye Yinzhu nor Zi enlisted the aid of their Douqi.
They let the northern wind assault them.
The sensation of this biting coldness made their spirits more alert.
The distance from the Holy Light City to Thor’s Hammer Fort was approximately a hundred li, and it was the closest human city to the beastman fort.
Bathed in the bright moonlight from afar, Ye Yinzhu and Zi could already see the high and thick city walls of Thor’s Hammer Fort.
As the first stronghold of the Beastman Clan and in the midst of war, shadowy figures of a multitude of patrolling Beastman soldiers could be seen on top of the fort.
Under the moonlight, there were also unidentified flying objects circling in the sky above the fort.
Ye Yinzhu slowed down.
He could not use his eyes to see, but the feeling of Unity of Heaven and Man was even more clear than his eyesight, “The fort’s defense is indeed tight.
Zi, it seems we need to be more careful.”
His tone was relaxed, obviously not putting these guards in his eyes, but Ye Yinzhu and Zi’s visit this time was not to stir up the hornet’s nest, so that was why he warned to be extra mindful.
Zi nodded his head and said, “How are we going up?”
Ye Yinzhu grinned and said, “Just watch me.” As he spoke, he raised both hands, his eight fingers forming a special pose in front of his chest.
A cloud of dense, black mist was released from his body, it instantly enveloped both him and Zi.
His white Divine Source Magic Robe could no longer serve as a target for anyone’s attention.
At least from the view down from Thor’s Hammer Fort, it was impossible to discern Ye Yinzhu and Zi shrouded in black mist.
The two of them spread their bodies once again.
The black mist not only concealed their bodies but also their auras.
The Beastman guards, until they were under the fort walls, had crossed the city moat that was several hundred meters wide, and still had not been found.
Standing under the city walls, Ye Yinzhu gestured a simple sign to Zi.
Their munication required no words, but it was equally accurate.
Zi nodded his head.
He quietly rushed out from under the cover of black mist to a position about a hundred meters away from Ye Yinzhu.
He looked up at the sky, raised his right hand, a purple light condensed in his palm.
As the black mist was blocking it, no light was leaked out.
That purple light condensed heavier and heavier in his hand, nearly approaching a purple-black colour.
There was a flash in Zi’s eyes, and his palm quivered lightly.
An almost non-existent purple-black light soared into the sky under the moonlight.
The night is often the drowsiest time, and Beastman soldiers were no exception.
The patrolling guards did not notice this purple-black light, but then a piercing scream had the Beastman soldiers in the city on high alert.
A giant body fell from the sky, blood and feathers falling together, heavily falling on top of Thor’s Hammer Fort.
Those responsible for defending the fort were naturally the elite of the Thunder God Tribe.
The Beastman Warriors reacted instantly, surrounding soldiers quickly flocking to the scene, they were surprised to find that the thing that fell from the sky was actually a gryphon.
This massive gryphon, exceeding five meters in length, had its chest and abdomen pierced by something.
The bird seemed to be dying from the bined effect of that injury and its heavy fall.
While panic temporarily took over the city, nobody noticed that a black mist quietly rose, stuck to the city walls, and using its momentum rolled over the city.
It stealthily slipped into the city, making use of the brief gap in the Beastman guards that clumped together.
Regardless of whether it was Ye Yinzhu’s sensation of Unity of Heaven and Man or Zi’s natural intuition, they could accurately grasp the gap in the Beastman’s defense.
So, when the two of them entered Thor’s Hammer Fort, nobody found out.
Of course, the Beastman’s investigation into how the gryphon died did not have anything to do with them anymore.
