752: Chapter 239: Dong Long Soldiers – Rotating Circle Killing Formation (Part 2) 752: Chapter 239: Dong Long Soldiers – Rotating Circle Killing Formation (Part 2) Ye Yinzhu’s smile gradually faded, and he said calmly, “Marshal, are you questioning me?”
Marshall Martin’s breath hitched.
Despite Ye Yinzhu being much younger than him, for some reason, he couldn’t manifest his usual dominance in front of Ye Yinzhu.
“I apologize, Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor.
My tone was a bit harsh.
However, I hope you can explain.
After all, we are currently in a cooperative relationship.
The sudden disappearance of the Legion of Behemoth Beasts, as your main bat force, caught me by surprise.”
Ye Yinzhu responded, “As you said, we are currently in a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate one.
How I deploy my subordinates should be an internal matter for my Qin City Army, and it has nothing to do with your Northern Legion.
However, I can tell you that they have been dispatched to carry out a special mission, related to our overall war situation in the North.
As for Glacis, as long as you’re willing to keep him, I have no objections.
When he returns from the mission, I’ll personally deliver him to you.
How does that sound?”
Listening to Ye Yinzhu’s confident reply, Marshall Martin’s expression softened slightly, but he still harbored some worries, “However, this will greatly weaken our main bat strength.
The Legion of Behemoth Beasts and several Divine Beasts have left.
If the Beastman were to invade now, especially since I have transferred away two hundred thousand elite troops, it seems disadvantageous for the war.”
Ye Yinzhu offered a calm smile and said, “I came to you precisely about this matter.
Please allow me to launch an attack on Thor Hammer Fort today.
Even without the Legion of Behemoth Beasts, our Qin City Army still possesses fighting strength.”
Marshall Martin was stunned for a moment; in his mind, the Legion of Behemoth Beasts was undoubtedly the strongest force of Qin City.
Initially, the Group Battle in the Six Paths of Reincarnation was won by Ye Yinzhu and Zi leading the Legion of Behemoth Beasts.
He couldn’t understand why, even after the legion had left, Ye Yinzhu still had such ample confidence.
His tone easing a bit, Marshall Martin said, “Yin Zhu, you must understand that the Beastman Clan is not like the Flore Empire.
Beastmen are naturally fierce; their bat strength far exceeds that of regular human soldiers.
Many of your subordinates are infantry; I don’t want Qin City to suffer losses.
You need to think this through.”
Ye Yinzhu replied, “Since I have dared to ask you for permission to battle, I naturally have certain assurances.
Please grant me permission to go to war.
Should any issues arise with the Qin City Army, I will take full responsibility.”
A flicker of light danced in Marshall Martin’s eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Alright, if you are so determined, I have no right to stop you.
I will cover you and the Qin City Army from behind.
If anything goes wrong, please immediately retreat to Holy Light City.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Then please arrange it, Marshal.”
After giving Ye Yinzhu a deep look, Marshall Martin finally walked away.
Listening to the sound of his departing footsteps, a cold smile crept onto Ye Yinzhu’s face.
Marshal Martin, you still don’t know the true strength of Qin City.
Today I will show you the real power of Qin City.
Zi, don’t worry.
I won’t give the Thunder God Tribe and the War God Tribe a chance to gather a large army to besiege you.
My promise to help you starts from today.”
An hour later, acpanied by three consecutive blasts of cannon, the gates of Holy Light City swung open wide, and the infantry swarmed out.
Ye Yinzhu sat atop Machino the Iron Dragon, leading the sortie from the city in formation.
The four major infantry corps of Qin City—Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju—lined up into four neat squares, with the cavalry quietly covering from behind.
Beside Ye Yinzhu were the four grandmasters of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans’ Martial Arts Factions.
Ye Yinzhu raised the Sword of Nox in his hand and pointed forward, “Warriors of Qin City, today is the day for you to make your mark.
Follow me into battle.”
“Long live the Zither Emperor, long live Qin City.” With the unified shouts and orderly pace, the four major infantry legions of Qin City spread out into formation, slowly advancing toward Thor’s Hammer Fortress.
The formation of sixty thousand men was immense, and as they moved forward, their formation gradually shifted.
The four grandmasters would each retreat back to their own corps.
The original four squares integrated into each other, forming a crescent-shaped formation that approached Thor’s Hammer Fortress.
The moment the cannon blared from Holy Light City, Thor’s Hammer Fortress had already received the news.
Chief Guti naturally wasn’t daunted.
Having fought against the Milan Empire for so many years, the Thunder God Tribe mostly took the offensive, immediately mustering troops and opening the fortress gates to push forward.
Although Marshall Martin was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Yinzhu’s confidence, as a renowned marshal, he would never treat the battlefield as a joking matter.
As Ye Yinzhu led the army out, Marshal Martin and his brother, Matlachi, slowly pressed forward with the great army of the Northern Legion, including a corps of a thousand mages, all in strict formation.
Meanwhile, inside Holy Light City, another army of one hundred thousand was already prepared to respond at any moment.
The speed of the Beastman’s Wolf riders was extremely fast, and they had to guard against it.
From a distance, Ye Yinzhu had already sensed the surge of numerous Beastman soldiers from Thor’s Hammer Fortress.
Although the Beastmen were far inferior to humans in terms of battle formations, those who came out today were undoubtedly the main force of the Beastmen.
A total of ten legions erupted from Thor’s Hammer Fortress, along with the ace force of the Thunder God Tribe, the Golden Legion, making up a formidable Beastman Army of one hundred and fifty thousand positioned at the city front of Thor’s Hammer Fortress.
Guti sat atop a huge mammoth, and beside him on another mammoth sat a robust Tiger Person, whose forehead bore a prominent “king” character.
What was surprising was that this Tiger Person’s fur was pure white, with no color but the black “king” character on his forehead.
Needless to say, this person was the chieftain of the War God Tribe, Tiger King Jo Cole.
The two supreme rulers of the Beastman Clan arriving together instantly boosted the morale of the Beastman Army.
The foremost units of Wolf riders were already eager to fight, especially since the very front lines emerging from Holy Light City were infantry corps—these Wolf riders’ eyes already gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
To them, the continent’s premier light cavalry, infantry were merely objects of slaughter.
Tiger King Jo Cole laughed heartily and said to Guti, “Chief Guti, it seems the Milanese have lost their minds.
Normally, their battle formations are led by Dragon Cavalry.
Why have they switched to infantry today?
Are they planning to send us corpses?”
Guti replied indifferently, “Human wisdom should not be underestimated, Chief Jo Cole.
It is still better to be cautious.
Did you not notice?
Behind those infantry, there is another army of one hundred thousand humans.
Those in the front, judging by their equipment, do not seem to be from the Northern Legion of the Milan Empire.
Look, they are neither the cannon fodder light infantry clad in simple leather armors nor from the Heavy Armored Infantry Corps, and, moreover, most of these infantry soldiers carry swords instead of the standard lance.”
Jo Cole snorted coldly, “Whatever they are, with our Wolf riders’ speed, even if it’s a trap, we are confident we can devour these infantry and then pull back.
Chief Guti, give the order.
If your subordinates are cowardly, you might as well let me take this credit.”
As the foremost among the three great chieftains of the Beastman, Guti was not one to be provoked by mere words.
He smiled lightly and said, “Since Chief Jo Cole wishes for this credit, wouldn’t I seem stingy if I refused?
I will gladly let you have this piece of fat meat.”
The conflict with Holy Light City was not new, and though the Beastman had little skill in military strategy, they knew to conserve their strength, so every battle saw the ace forces of the Thunder God and War God Tribes alternate.
Today, Jo Cole’s White Tiger Legion was not deployed, and the ace was Guti’s Golden Legion.
However, among the other ten legions, there were two legions of Wolf riders and two legions of Leopard People warriors from the War God Tribe.
Jo Cole laughed heartily, pounding his chest with his fist, “Long live the War God.
Let the children of the War God obliterate these lowly humans.
To battle, follow me.”
The messenger behind Jo Cole immediately waved the flag, and among the eleven legions of the Beastman emerging from the city, the four belonging to the War God Tribe immediately sprang into action.
Two legions of Wolf riders took the lead, followed by two legions of Leopard People, breaking out of the formation.
Jo Cole spurred his mammoth forward, guarded by a hundred White Tiger Guards, and moved to the back of the battle formation.
He raised his head and let out a resonant tiger roar that rolled like thunder, his momentum reaching its peak.
“My men, devour the meat before you.
Do not engage in prolonged bat; strike and retreat.” Jo Cole was no fool; while the infantry seemed easy to deal with, the force in the rear, principally posed of cavalry or heavy armored infantry, along with the Beastman’s most feared Mages Corps, warranted caution.
Thus, he emphasized a quick strike and retreat in his orders.
Upon receiving their orders, the four legions of the War God Tribe sprang into action, their fierce Beastman nature undeniably evident.
The Wolf riders led the charge, and amidst countless howls, they swiftly launched an assault towards the four major infantry corps of Qin City led by Ye Yinzhu.
The Leopard People, too, shifted from bipedal to all-fours, sprinting fiercely and faster than the Wolf riders.
They suddenly burst from both sides of the Wolf riders, charging at full speed towards the flanks of Qin City’s four major infantry corps.
Meanwhile, the Wolf riders, like a sharp spearhead, continued their charge in a somewhat rudimentary Triangle Battle Formation straight on at the front.(To be continued, for more details, please visit .
