Zither Emperor Chapter 829 Chapter 264 Fierce Battle at Qin City's Central

829: Chapter 264 Fierce Battle at Qin City’s Central Plaza (Part 2) 829: Chapter 264 Fierce Battle at Qin City’s Central Plaza (Part 2) The Faran side had three powerful knight groups, while the Qin City side had over ten thousand high-level magical beasts, led by the nine great Divine Beasts.

Even the powerful Mammoth Knight Group suffered heavy losses under their renewed attack.

Each Divine Beast fully demonstrated its own formidable power, and although the Faran knights were much stronger than the knight groups from other countries across the continent, to the Divine Beasts, there was no difference; it simply meant that the carnage happened a bit slower.

As the melee on the ground began, the aerial battle had also reached a fever pitch.

The two airborne cavalry corps launched their charges in a dispersed formation, while the Qin City Eagle Knight Corps in bination with the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier War Division launched a fierce counterattack.

They deliberately brought the battle down to low altitude.

Despite being greatly outnumbered and with most of the giant dragons injured, coordinated with the Tree Spirit Druids on the ground and the roaring of the Magic Array Cannons, they managed to fight the Faran airborne cavalry to a standstill, even gaining a slight advantage.

Imagine having to constantly dodge the spears thrown by Tree Spirit Druids, suffer from slow-effect attacks, and be vigilant against the destructive Magic Array Cannons, the Faran airborne cavalry’s fighting capabilities were greatly reduced.

Sloan made a pressing-forward gesture with his whole army, and the Faran mages began to change tactics.

Instead of casting powerful Forbidden Curses, more than two thousand mages mounted the last Faran legion’s mounts and began to cast magic individually under the close protection of the knights.

Their spells were mostly non-offensive, casting one after another blue-light-flashing supportive magic on the Faran knights.

Just as the Qin City leadership had anticipated, with the addition of the mages, Faran still had the upper hand, despite the heavy blows they had received from Qin City.

This was especially evident on the ground.

The Amethyst Legion might be led by nine Divine Beasts, but among them, Shan and Lei lacked direct attack capabilities.

Although the remaining seven Divine Beasts were powerful attackers, they faced Faran knights who were at least of Green rank standard.

After a brief chaos from the initial strike, these Faran knights effectively organized themselves.

With the support of the mages’ supportive magic, they formed small battle formations and, led by Zi rank knights, joined forces to attack the Divine Beasts, aiming to severely restrain them rather than destroy them.

With the last Faran legion joining the battle, it was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back—the assistance spells were almost cast incessantly.

The many supportive effects on the Faran knights were continuously enhanced, and it was clear that they were gradually suppressing the Amethyst Legion on the ground.

Sloan floated in the air, overseeing the entire battlefield, while rapidly recovering the magic power he had previously consumed.

His injuries from the interruption of Death Wither were much lighter than when he was repelled by Ye Yinzhu after using Demon God Descends.

His Douqi strength had also reached Sub-God rank, so unless attacked at the soul level, his recovery rate was exceedingly fast.

The Qin City airborne cavalry also ran into trouble.

With magical support, and with the help of the Faran mages’ Dispel Magic and Faran legions responsible for encircling on the ground, the Tree Spirit Druids and Claw Druids immediately fell into a tough battle.

Even though the Raptor Druids appeared in time, using Wind Magic to stabilize their position, they could only barely protect themselves.

Just then, all of Qin City’s main forces appeared.

They rushed out from every corner of the Burna Mountain Range, and the four infantry corps quickly converged from all directions.

Propelled by Douqi, they moved very fast, charging toward the battlefield like four long dragons.

Sloan sneered.

If strength could be offset by mere numbers, then Faran would not be Faran.

Although he noticed that the Qin City infantry also possessed Douqi, they were still far inferior when pared to the superb Faran legion with its powerful magical beast mounts.

The four Qin City infantry corps did not blindly charge into the battle formation.

Instead, they formed four circular formations in the corners of Qin City’s Central Plaza before gradually joining the battlefield.

Their joining did not deal any real blows to the Faran knights due to their own strength, but at least they helped the Amethyst Legion stabilize their position and rescued the retreating magical beasts from their decline.

Even though the Qin City army was still being pushed back, the speed of their retreat had slowed down significantly.

Appearing simultaneously with the four Qin City infantry corps were three thousand Dwarf Soldiers and five thousand Elite Elf Warriors.

This mixed legion’s strength could not be overlooked either; they protected the flanks of the Qin City army and, with the sturdiness of the Dwarf race and the agility of the Elves, they stopped several thousand Faran knights at least.

The casualties on both sides kept rising, but the Faran knights’ strength was not only undiminished, it was gradually increasing with the stacking of supportive magic.

This was the most standard Faran way of fighting, relying on years of research on magic, the Faran mages could constantly stack the effects of supportive magic.

The mages from the Four Mage Clans of Dong Long also appeared one after another, but their numbers and strength pared to the Faran Magician Corps were still far too few.

Those Faran legions, bolstered by numerous supportive magic and their own strong protective power, could directly ignore magic below Green rank.

Although Qin City also had some more powerful mages, they were nevertheless few in number, and they struggled to influence the entire battlefield.

The nine Great Divine Beasts were at the very front; along with the Army of Behemoths, they almost held off the strongest bat power of Faran’s four land legions.

Almost all Zi rank experts from all Faran legions concentrated here.

Faran’s heritage and strength had truly bee apparent.

Although each Faran knight legion only had one legion mander, there were no less than thirty Zi rank experts in any Faran legion.

Although the Divine Beasts were formidable, against the assault of over a hundred warriors each with their own Douqi, and with the aid of numerous supportive spells, they found themselves mired as if in a muddy swamp, unable to extricate themselves.

The Faran knights were exceptionally fierce; simply put, a Blue rank Faran knight, in coordination with their mount, could contend with a rank Nine Beast from the Amethyst Legion.

The discipline, battle formation mand, and overall qualities of the Faran knights were inparable to the Qin City army, which had only undergone brief training.

The young soldiers of Qin City gradually began to retreat from both flanks, and if not for the superior quality of armor and weapons forged by the Dwarf Clan Masters over those of Faran, the death toll would have spiked by several times.

The might of the Magic Array Cannons remained, and although the air cavalry also began to falter, under the leadership of Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier and with the aid of the Magic Array Cannons, they were still able to temporarily maintain their retreat.

Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier exhibited powerful bat abilities; it should be known that in order to construct this aircraft carrier, Qin City had invested in a vast number of extravagant equipments.

Despite its massive size, its defense capability was extremely formidable, not the least bit inferior to the Metal Dragon Clan, and its speed could even pare to the Fenglong Clan.

Sura, having origins as an assassin, remained the most posed on the battlefield, and with her keen sensitivity to speed, the colossal Zither Emperor moved through the sky with the agility of a swimming fish under her control.

Each time she deftly maneuvered the Zither Emperor into a turn, the Magic guide cannons on its side would instantly unleash their power, and at that moment, the Zither Emperor would be positioned at the densest area of the Faran Air Force formation.

Oliveira held Sura’s piloting skills in high admiration; of course, there was also a tinge of envy for Ye Yinzhu.

Although Zither Emperor’s Twelve Musician Lanes could no longer emit Sub-God ranked Divine Music Halos like at the start, they had rejoined the battlefield and continued to significantly influence the Faran Air Force.

Further aided by two hundred Giant dragons as the main force of the Qin City warriors, the Faran Air Force continually faced losses.

The experts from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans had fully mitted themselves to the battle.

As the mander of close bat, the very first order issued by Supreme Elder Wei Ming was to protect oneself as much as possible while fending off the enemy.

What he least wanted to see was Qin City’s young soldiers perishing under the enemy’s cold weapons.

Training these young soldiers was no easy feat!

Each of them was a valuable treasure to Qin City.

With the skillfulness of Dong Long Martial Skills, even the Faran knights could not help but be amazed.

It was these skills, along with their excellent equipment, that enabled Qin City warriors to keep losses to a minimum despite being outmatched in Douqi and strength.

“Release my disciple, and I’ll spare your life,” Sloan’s voice reached Zi even amidst the thick of battle as he floated in the air, staring at Zi who was still killing enemies while holding An Qi in his arms.

Despite being amidst thousands of troops, Sloan’s voice directly entered Zi’s ears.

The cold presence locked onto Zi’s body from above, as a powerful oppressive force suddenly descended.

In Sloan’s eyes, it was clear that Zi was restraining An Qi.

Back in the day, Sloan had An Qi under his control to disrupt the Elf Tribe, gaining significant benefits in the process.

Initially, he merely saw An Qi as a pawn.

However, after Sura’s “betrayal” and being “killed” by his own hand, Sloan suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart, realizing although his power had grown, he had no one whom he could pletely trust by his side.

Therefore, upon returning to Faran, Sloan recalled An Qi from her mission and began to truly pass on his abilities to her.
