774: 36 Episodes Behemoth Evolution Chapter 246 Gentleness on the Battlefield (Part 1) 774: 36 Episodes Behemoth Evolution Chapter 246 Gentleness on the Battlefield (Part 1) Among all the races of the Beastmen, the Behemoth Beasts undoubtedly had the greatest individual bat abilities.
However, the Behemoth Beasts had one flaw—because they couldn’t fly and could only move on land, their enormous weight left extremely noticeable footprints on any type of terrain.
This was exactly why Guti was not afraid of not being able to find Santos and the Behemoth Beasts when he led his men in pursuit.
Although the Behemoth Beasts moved at astonishing speeds, Guti believed that as long as he and his men continued to pursue without rest, they would eventually catch up to the Legion of Behemoth Beasts.
Although the Behemoth Beasts sprinted faster than both the Lion Men and Tiger People, their massive bodies caused them to consume energy quickly, necessitating frequent feeding to replenish their stamina.
In this aspect, the Lion Men and Tiger People were much stronger.
Particularly, the Gold and White Tiger Legions consisted of warriors carefully selected from the two powerful Tribal Royal Families, possessing extremely strong long-range pursuit bat capabilities.
However, Guti soon realized that he had underestimated Santos.
From the time they left to chase until now, as dawn was about to break, they had followed the numerous footprints of the Behemoth Beasts for an entire night, covering hundreds of miles, yet they hadn’t seen even one Behemoth Beast.
At this point, he ordered the army to stop, his heart filled with extreme anger, for he discovered over ten different tracks of Behemoth Beasts heading in various directions.
How vast was the Northernmost Wilderness, and how was he to pursue such dispersed Behemoth Beasts?
Should he divide his forces?
Frankly, Guti was a bit reluctant.
He was deeply aware of the bat strength of the Behemoth Beasts.
He could not determine the exact number of Behemoth Beasts that had left each set of footprints; if the separated troops encountered a larger number of Behemoth Beasts, their end would be disastrous.
What to do?
Guti began to hesitate, his subordinates carefully examining the footprints, hoping to discern the main force’s movements of the Behemoth Beasts.
In fact, what Guti didn’t know was that although Santos had led the Behemoth Army to leave Thor Hammer Fortress earlier than him, they advanced at a pace slower than he had imagined.
Firstly, Santos went to the Behemoth camp to gather his clan members before he could lead them away.
Guti’s response was swift enough.
Feeling that Guti’s army would soon catch up to them and that the Behemoth Beasts were depleting a lot of their energy, Santos had decided to split his forces.
When he made this decision, Santos was already prepared to sacrifice some of his people.
Guti’s relentless pursuit heightened his alertness, and he knew that if they were indeed caught up to, it might inflict heavy losses on Guti, but his own people would likely face annihilation.
Therefore, he had no choice but to disperse the Behemoth Beasts.
Of course, Santos was not afraid of Guti finding the main force because there was no main force in the first place when he divided his troops.
Each group of Behemoth Beasts was equal in number, hence the number of footprints was naturally the same.
No matter how Guti judged, he would not be able to react correctly immediately.
After splitting his forces, Santos simply hoped that more of his clansmen could escape Guti’s pursuit.
The final rendezvous point was set on the Outskirts of the Frosty Forest.
As the sky gradually brightened, Guti hesitated whether to continue the pursuit, or which group to pursue, when suddenly, he saw a huge Gryphon plummeting from the sky.
Guti had also wanted to bring a few Gryphons and Thunderbirds for scouting, but at night, the visibility range of Gryphons and Thunderbirds was too limited.
If they flew low, they might be attacked by the Behemoth Beasts, causing a loss greater than the gain.
After all, any Behemoth Beast was an expert at hurling stones.
Within hundreds of meters, the airborne Gryphons absolutely could not withstand their powerful throws.
As he watched a Gryphon fly in, Guti couldn’t help but rejoice, thinking to himself, “Tiger King truly lives up to his name, timely sending me such a good scout.
Santos, let’s see where you can run now.”
The Gryphon contracted its wings and slowly descended, its sharp cries ringing out.
It reported to Guti in the unique language of the Gryphon species.
Guti’s initially excited mood vanished after hearing the Gryphon’s message, his expression drastically changed, and he exclaimed in disbelief, “No, this can’t be possible.”
The message the Gryphon relayed was succinct: the fortress walls had been breached, Chieftain Jo Cole requested immediate reinforcement, and the Human Army of the Milan Empire had already menced operations.
Although Guti did not want to believe it, he also knew that Jo Cole would not deceive him about such a serious matter.
Instantly, without hesitation, he bitterly glanced at the huge footprints left on the ground and issued the order to retreat.
He did not know that by announcing this mand, Ye Yinzhu had already achieved his goal.
Thor Hammer Fortress was indeed experiencing the threat of the Human Army.
This time, the Northern Legion from Holy Light City had e out in full force—thirty legions in total, including the Dragon Cavalry, Magician Corps, Heavy Cavalry Legion, and Siege Troops, along with various siege equipment, were aligned in an orderly formation on the vast plains between Holy Light City and Thor Hammer Fortress, slowly pushing forward.
The Qin City Army, which had achieved significant victories in yesterday’s battle, had also assembled pletely.
The Horned Hawk Knights hovering in the air made no attempt to conceal their presence, with two thousand of them scattered above their own forces, ready to strike at any moment.
Although the Milan Northern Corps and Thor Hammer Fortress had been opposing each other for many years, they rarely launched relentless, continuous attacks.
Especially in recent years, the majority of their attacks were against the Beastman Clan rather than the Northern Legion.
Martin was definitely an outstanding mander, or rather, any mander who received reports about the situation at Thor Hammer Fortress would have reacted the same way.
Ye Yinzhu and Martin rode side by side, with Martin sighed repeatedly as he looked into the distance at Thor Hammer Fortress.
He could never have imagined that Qin City could possess such formidable strength.
At Thor Hammer Fortress, a gigantic fissure had appeared in the middle of its miles-long, thick walls.
At its widest, the gap reached seven meters, stretching downwards to the base of the walls.
The hundred-meter-high fortress walls seemed as if they had been cleaved in two.
Although a gap of a few meters wasn’t much for the sprawling fortress, this was the first time such severe damage had occurred since the construction of Thor Hammer Fortress.
With magic rendered ineffective, the fortress was acknowledged as impregnable.
Yet, the previous night, this several-meter-wide crack had appeared.
For the Milan Army, it was like a significant breakthrough— with this gap, Thor Hammer Fortress was no longer so secure.
“Yin Zhu, just tell me how you managed it.
I’m truly curious.
Once, I also used all my strength to strike the walls with Douqi Slash, but it only resulted in a small crack a few meters long.
Yet, the wall is thirty meters thick, and from what we see now, it seems pletely split.
Such sturdy fortress walls should be hard to destroy even without a Forbidden Magic Field.
Even an Earth Attribute Forbidden Spell might not suffice.”
Martin had lost count of how many times he had asked Ye Yinzhu the same question.
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Marshal, this is indeed one of Qin City’s biggest secrets, and I can only tell you that the method used to damage the fortress wall can only be used once; it won’t work a second time.”
Upon finding the crack, Martin made a decisive decision.
From Holy Light City, the elite of the Milan Northern Corps, along with the Qin City Army, amounted to more than four hundred thousand troops appearing on the battlefield.
It had been a long time since the Northern Legion had launched an attack of such scale.
Martin said helplessly, “All right, since you don’t want to say, I won’t press you.
Yin Zhu, do you think we have a chance to penetrate Thor Hammer Fortress?
If we can take over this fortress, I believe the Beastman Clan will no longer be able to invade our country afterward.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and responded, “Last night, you taught me not to be rash, yet today, you seem a bit impatient, Marshal.”
Martin laughed heartily and said, “You little rascal, using my own words to teach me!
Indeed, I know I shouldn’t be impulsive, but you don’t understand that I have battled the Thunder God Tribe for so many years.
Thor Hammer Fortress has always been a thorn in my side, and seeing it damaged like this feels indescribable, like seeing the first light of victory.
I really hope we can pletely take over this fortress.”
Matlachi then said, “Big brother, this might be difficult.
If it was only the Thunder God Tribe we might stand a chance, but currently, the fortress houses troops from two tribes.
Even if their most elite Golden Legion isn’t there, even if the White Tiger Legion isn’t there, we would still be facing an army several times the size of our own.
With magicians unable to exert their influence, although we could strike a hard blow to the Beastman through this gap, we would also inevitably suffer heavy losses.
With the situation tense in the southern border of the Empire, we should prioritize stability here!”
Martin sighed and said, “You’re right, hence, I was merely daydreaming.
I don’t know if this counts as wishful thinking.
Yin Zhu, do you have any good ideas?
It’s torturous to see such a big piece of meat and not be able to eat it.
This piece of meat was carved out by you; you must e up with a solution for me.”
