983: Chapter 314: The Army Advances (Part 1) 983: Chapter 314: The Army Advances (Part 1) The three hundred intermediate magic cannons were pleted after making improvements to the ordinary magic cannons, and their offensive power increased by more than fifty percent.
Their formidable power can only be described as terrifying.
Especially when all magic cannons are fired using energy of the same attribute, the resultant chain reaction could cover an area of several tens of square kilometers.
This hilly region was destroyed in such a manner.
If not for the particularly solid rocks of the Abyssal Plane and Ye Yinzhu’s request for concentrated firing, the covered area would have been even more vastly expanded.
Of course, the most powerful weapons of the Zither Emperor had yet to be deployed.
Those forty advanced magic cannons and five improved Cannons of Annihilation were truly the ultimate killers of the Zither Emperor.
Ryuzakinus Continent dared to launch this holy war without consideration for losses.
If Faran was the confidence of the various countries, then the Zither Emperor was Faran’s confidence.
When the Zither Emperor underwent its first test flight and power test in the unpopulated area of the Northernmost Wilderness, the Master of Faran’s Seventh Tower was also present to observe.
The thoughts of the Tower Masters of Faran were unknown to outsiders, but from their actions thereafter, anyone could discern some critical points.
After the tests that day, Faran officially announced the specific timing of the attack on the Abyssal Plane to the high-ranking officials of the various nations the very next day.
“Report the consumption,” Sura’s calm voice was connected to all control personnel through the munication system.
To better support Ye Yinzhu, Sura and Haiyang had given up the opportunity to have more children for Ye Yinzhu.
In the nearly three years since, they had always been by Ye Yinzhu’s side, joining in the training on the Zither Emperor.
Sura held the position at the main control console, not because of her relationship with Ye Yinzhu, but entirely because she had achieved this through her own abilities.
Sura’s reactivity and a cool head helped her stand out among the many control personnel, gaining control of this position.
She could most directly assist Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu was pletely confident in the Zither Emperor.
He had once tried to launch an attack on the Zither Emperor himself, only to find that even his power was hardly able to damage the Zither Emperor.
This was when the Zither Emperor did not retaliate.
If those hundreds of magic cannons were fired at the same time, whether he would even have the chance to attack was questionable.
Using the words of the other Tower Masters of Faran after that test to describe Ye Yinzhu, the Zither Emperor was not a weapon that should exist in this world.
Even Super Divine Artifacts would be considered trivial pared to it; it was truly a defiance of the heavens, a god on the battlefield.
It was precisely because of the Zither Emperor’s prowess that Faran firmed up their final conviction.
The report on energy consumption was quickly piled at Sura’s location.
“Report to His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, all intermediate magic cannons’ energy systems have consumed fifteen percent and can still perform five attacks of the same magnitude.”
If the Zither Emperor had any weakness, it would definitely concern energy supply.
The enhanced offensive power also symbolized that energy consumption would correspondingly bee greater, and even rank nine magic crystal stones could not continuously support the firing of the Zither Emperor’s magic cannons.
Therefore, apart from the cooling period of the magic cannons themselves, managing the Zither Emperor for attacks also required attention to energy consumption.
Now, the magic cannons on the Zither Emperor were all equipped with energy systems formed by rank nine magic crystal stones.
The configuration of each intermediate magic cannon included one crystal stone each of fire and dark elements, allowing for three shots of each element before they would need a certain period of replenishment.
The method of replenishment was simple: uniform absorption of magic elements from the air through the magic formations inside the Zither Emperor.
Generally, when the magic crystal stones of rank nine are utterly depleted of elements, it takes about three days to pletely replenish them.
This had been precisely calculated by the masters of the Goblin Tribe, and especially under the conditions of the Abyssal Plane.
In order to accurately calculate the recovery time, Ye Yinzhu had even quietly visited the Abyssal Plane once more, bringing several masters from the Goblin Tribe and testing equipment with him.
The forty advanced magic cannons were each equipped with three magic crystal stones of different attributes.
Each crystal stone could support one firing.
The recovery time was the same three days, but it had to take place in a location possessing the respective magic elements.
As for the Cannons of Annihilation, there were no recovery issues, as their firing was through a fusion produced at the moment a rank nine magic crystal stone shattered, converting into a massive energy attack, consuming one crystal stone per shot.
The cooling time was also three times that of the other two types of magic cannons.
The cooling time for the intermediate magic cannons was twenty minutes, for the advanced magic cannons, it was half an hour, and for the Cannons of Annihilation, nearly two hours were needed before they could fire again.
This meant that after a round of full-scale attack by the Zither Emperor, not only would its own energy be significantly weakened, but the cooling times would also greatly impact its ability to continue fighting.
These were the painstaking results of the Goblin Tribe and the Dwarf race’s masters.
They could not do it any better, at least for now.
Even the mightiest of things have their limits, and the Zither Emperor was no exception.
In front of its formidable offensive, defensive capabilities, and speed, there were always some constraints; otherwise, it would truly be unstoppable.
The Zither Emperor was not only the secret weapon of the Ryuzakinus Alliance Army but also the ultimate trump card, not to be used lightly except when absolutely necessary.
The decision to deploy it at the beginning of the holy war, or rather as it was just getting into rhythm, was made after careful consideration by Ye Yinzhu.
The connection between the Ryuzakinus Continent and the Abyssal Plane through the portal was not particularly wide, which led to several problems.
If a forceful attack was launched against the Abyssal Plane, even if the Legion of Behemoth Beasts was at the forefront, they would still have to withstand the attacks of two thousand Two-headed Abominations, aided by the magic of male and female witches.
Although these Two-headed Abominations were naturally unable to match the Behemoth Beasts in strength, they not only possessed massive sizes but also had the strength to reach the Blue rank.
If two thousand Two-headed Abominations launched an attack with all their might, they could hold off the Army of Behemoths for quite a long time.
And before leaving the portal, mages could not use magic during the passage, making it impossible to support the Behemoth Beasts, thus involving many plications.
This situation not only gave ample time for the four nations of the Abyssal Plane to prepare and react, but it also significantly increased their own losses.
After considering the impracticality of using the army, the high mand of the Ryuzakinus Alliance Army thought of using advanced-rank mages to secretly infiltrate and, under Ye Yinzhu’s cover, unleash a devastating level of magic.
With the coverage of multiple mages’ Forbidden Curses, it should be possible to annihilate these deep demons.
At that time, the Alliance’s high mand was inclined towards this decision.
However, Ye Yinzhu later realized that supplying the mages on the Abyssal Plane was inherently difficult, and using Forbidden Curses would undoubtedly weaken their strength.
Even if a base could be established for resupply, it would take time.
This time, launching a holy war and attacking the Abyssal Plane posed step-by-step hardships for the Ryuzakinus Alliance Army, and ensuring the mages’ retained strength was evidently absolutely necessary.
After the Zither Emperor’s fire attribute shells were launched, direct recovery on the Abyssal Plane was possible.
With this advantage, the Zither Emperor naturally became the undeniable choice.
Under Ye Yinzhu’s mand, it indeed achieved splendid battle results.
After listening to Sura’s energy report, Ye Yinzhu issued the next order, “Zither Emperor, stand by in the air, activate the Full-Scale Monitoring Control System pletely, and intercept any Abyssal creatures that charge at us with the Magic guide cannon, sparing no expense.”
“Yes,” Sura immediately responded.
At the same time, the Zither Emperor restarted and floated in the kilometer-high sky, beginning to patrol and monitor the large pit just created by the bombardment.
Such a huge motion could not possibly go unnoticed by the hundreds of thousands of Abyssal Creatures on the periphery, but pared to those two thousand Two-headed Abominations, these lower-level Abyssal Creatures were hardly a threat.
With the Zither Emperor stationed here, it was impossible for them to pose any threat to the portal.
Just the continuously expanding streams of Fire Elemental Turbulence alone could block their advance for a substantial duration.
Ye Yinzhu gave Sura a thumbs up and then pointed outside the Zither Emperor.
Sura nodded at him and sent a tender look, telepathically saying, “Go and e back quickly.
I’ll be waiting here for you.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly at his wife.
As Sura controlled the Zither Emperor with hands moving like phantoms, the hatch beneath the Zither Emperor slowly opened, and Ye Yinzhu’s body turned into a streak of light, vanishing at the still fiery portal exit in an instant as the hatch opened.
In Ye Yinzhu’s absence, Sura became the sole controller of the Zither Emperor, immediately issuing an order, “Prepare the Zone One Advanced Magic Cannons.
Fire five shots simultaneously, Water Attribute, target the portal exit.”
Beneath the front end of the Zither Emperor, five square hatches, twice the size of the previously used Intermediate Magic Cannons, opened up, and five thick, dark barrels slowly emerged.
An intense ice-blue light gathered at the muzzle, far brighter than the red dots that flickered when the Intermediate Magic Cannons of the Zither Emperor were fired earlier.
“Fire—” Five beams of ice-blue light burst forth suddenly, causing a series of steam reactions due to the Fire Elemental Turbulence in the air, which significantly lowered the surrounding air temperature but also produced a considerable amount of water vapor.
