770: Chapter 244: The Method of Threatening the Beastman into Staying Still (Part 3) 770: Chapter 244: The Method of Threatening the Beastman into Staying Still (Part 3) Ye Yinzhu smiled calmly and said, “Marshal, on this point, I disagree with you.
I don’t think that Zi and the others are going to their deaths.
On the contrary, I believe this is a significant opportunity.
An opportunity that could pletely turn the tide of the war.
However, for now, whether Zi and the others succeed doesn’t really concern us much, but we must create as many opportunities for them to succeed as possible.
This is why I am seeking an honest discussion with you now.”
Martin furrowed his brows and said, “Are you suggesting we hold back the Beastman within Thor Hammer Fort?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and replied, “Exactly.
Only by holding back as much of the main force of the two big tribes of Beastman here as possible can we give Zi and the others more time and opportunities to create chaos in the Northernmost Wilderness and establish their influence and power.”
Martin sighed, stood up, and was a bit taller than Ye Yinzhu.
He walked over, patted Yin Zhu’s shoulder and said, “Yin Zhu, you are still underestimating the Beastman.
It’s true that today you led the soldiers of Qin City to a groundbreaking victory, but if you underestimate Thor Hammer Fort, you will soon suffer huge losses.”
Ye Yinzhu was stunned for a moment.
He knew that he couldn’t be more familiar with Thor Hammer Fort than Martin and quickly asked for advice with an open mind, “Please teach me, Marshal.”
Martin said, “The numerous unique features of Thor Hammer Fort have long established a situation where one man can hold off ten thousand enemies.
Let alone that the fortress now contains over a million Beastman Army, even if there were only fifty thousand defending the fort, we wouldn’t be able to advance an inch beyond the thunder pond.
If Guti decides to size up and not venture out, our daily attacks wouldn’t prevent him from dispatching the Beastman Army deep into the wilderness.
This is also why I wasn’t surprised or supportive of an attack now when you mentioned Guti’s Golden Legion leaving the fort to enter the wilderness.”
“Is Thor Hammer Fort really that difficult to attack?” Ye Yinzhu furrowed his brows deeply.
Martin firmly nodded and said, “Thor Hammer Fort is a nightmare for any infantry.
The hundred-meter-high walls are not something you can simply climb over.
In the skies above the fort, tens of thousands of gryphon and thunderbird troops can observe any move our army makes, and they can strike from the air while we are besieging the city.
Without the ability to use magic, and lacking a significantly powerful air force, we have no means to counter those thunderbirds and gryphons.
As long as there are enough soldiers guarding the city walls of the Beastman, even if we send most of our powerhouses, it won’t make much of an effect.
Of course, if Guti is in the fortress, attacking the fortress bees even more unrealistic.
Perhaps after interacting with him today, you didn’t find him to be very strong, but I can tell you, his Thor’s Hammer, if launched within Thor Hammer Fort, has more than ten times its usual offensive power.
No one on our side can withstand that terrible strike.
If it hadn’t been for my subordinate who desperately blocked in front of me, I might already have died under Guti’s hammer.”
Ye Yinzhu slowly nodded.
He acknowledged that Martin’s concerns were entirely reasonable, reflections of the veteran marshal’s decades of experience fighting against the Beastman Clan.
Although there was some displeasure in Martin’s voice, he still patiently explained to him, showing his care.
Reflecting on the first time he met Martin, it was the marshal who had used his powerful Douqi to help him enhance his strength.
Although their opinions differed now, Ye Yinzhu’s heart felt even warmer.
“Marshal, you’re right.
I was too hasty.
But could you tell me how exactly we can make Guti and the troops of the two big tribes of Beastman focus on defending the fortress without daring to leave it?”
Ye Yinzhu asked humbly.
His tone was very calm, and he even bowed slightly to Martin as he spoke, showing his disciple’s respect.
Seeing Ye Yinzhu’s sincere request for advice, Martin couldn’t help but secretly admire him.
Ye Yinzhu, as the Zither Emperor, was not successful just by luck.
Unlike most young people who were full of impetus but lacked patience, Ye Yinzhu was different.
While still having that intensity, he appeared to have a stable mentality and was not impatient.
Martin pondered for a moment and said, “Only two situations would make Guti focus entirely on defending the fortress.
First, we break through the incredibly tough walls of Thor Hammer Fort, creating a breach in its defenses.
This would immediately alert Guti and the entire Beastman Clan.
Second, we break the Forbidden Magic Field or the powerful attack capabilities of Thor Hammer Fort.
If Guti’s biggest reliance disappears, the Forbidden Magic Field is somewhat manageable, at least our Douqi experts can still partake in the bat.
However, Guti inside the fort is truly terrifying, once he stands on the city walls and launches Thunderstrike or Storm Hammer, none of our powerhouses would even be able to approach the fort.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded as he listened, “I understand.
In other words, we need to make Guti hurt, make him fear, in order to potentially tie his entire army down at Thor Hammer Fort.”
Martin nodded and said, “Exactly.”
Ye Yinzhu stood up and said, “Marshal, I’ll try it.”
Martin was startled, “What are you going to do?”
Ye Yinzhu smiled brightly and said, “Didn’t you say that as long as we can break through the walls of Thor Hammer Fort, Guti will inevitably focus on defense here?
I want to give it a try.
Don’t worry, even if I can’t succeed, I will retreat safely.”
This time Martin did not try to persuade Ye Yinzhu, because he sensed a strong confidence emanating from him.
He certainly believed that Ye Yinzhu had enough self-protection ability, nodded, and said, “Then you must be careful.
I’ll order troops to support you.”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, “No need.
This time our strike force isn’t made up of infantry.
Marshal, if, I say if, our plan really succeeds, Zi could bee the supreme leader of the Beastman Clan.
I promise you, as long as I live, the Beastman Clan will not invade the Milan Empire ever again.
However, I hope that the Milan Empire can exchange food with the Beastman at a fair price.
I think the abundant mineral resources of the Northernmost Wilderness are also what the Empire needs, right?”
Martin looked at Ye Yinzhu, his gaze changing again.
He hadn’t expected Ye Yinzhu to have thought so far ahead, even considering future developments.
Could it be that he really had the confidence to allow the Four Sacred Beasts to obtain tremendous power in the Northernmost Wilderness?
Was that really possible?
Ye Yinzhu had never been a rash person.
If Martin fully knew about his past actions, he would not be doubting him now.
Nobody cared more about Zi and the Four Sacred Beasts’ safety than he did.
Under the effect of the equal life pact, should anything perilous happen to Zi, Ye Yinzhu would feel it immediately.
Relying on the Spatial Teleportation Magic Formation and his own strength, Ye Yinzhu believed that unless Zi faced an attack from several Tower Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower at the same time, he was confident in bringing Zi and the Four Sacred Beasts back alive.
As for the losses of the Behemoth Beast, he couldn’t afford to care.
Of course, this was just the worst scenario.
With confidence in the strength of the Four Sacred Beasts, even if they couldn’t succeed, the force to stop them from escaping probably didn’t exist in the Northernmost Wilderness.
Even the fearsome Frosty Forest couldn’t do it, let alone ordinary Beastmen.
Leaving the Marshal Mansion, Sura’s slightly cold hand grabbed Ye Yinzhu’s arm again and she whispered, “Are we really going?”
Ye Yinzhu raised his other hand to hold Sura’s, warming her with his heat, “Of course.
The movement of the Thunder God Tribe’s Golden Legion can only prove one thing: Brother Santos has already started to act.
He must have taken all the Behemoth Beasts from the two tribes, with numbers at least surpassing three hundred.
Such a powerful force, once they join forces with Zi, even if they aren’t invincible, will be more than sufficient to defend themselves in the Beastman’s World.
But Guti’s Golden Legion has a significant number, as well as the War God Tribe’s White Tiger Legion.
We must help Brother Santos to gain as much time as possible so that once they reach deep into the Northernmost Wilderness, it’ll be infinitely harder for Guti to find them there.”
Sura nodded, resting her head gently on Ye Yinzhu’s shoulder, “I wonder how Zi and the others are doing now.”
Ye Yinzhu gently caressed Sura’s smooth face and kissed her forehead, “I would also like to know.
Not long ago, I felt that Zi had fought, though it was brief, I could tell he had given his all.
I really want to summon him back, but I can’t do that, Zi has his own choices, and no matter what he decides to do, I will support him unconditionally.”
Sura smiled faintly, “Zi is really lucky to have a brother like you.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “No, it should be said that having a brother like him is my fortune.
Perhaps, it’s our luck that the heavens arranged our meeting.
Let’s go and see, pared to our Qin City’s walls, which are sturdier, those of Thor Hammer Fort or ours?” His tone was very light, he didn’t treat the attack on Thor Hammer Fort as a very grave matter.
Half a time later, the gates of Holy Light City quietly opened, and a cavalry unit, dressed in black gear, swiftly exited the city under the cover of night.
Their equipment was all black, making them hardly noticeable in the dead of night.
