Qin Shangâs pair of crystal-clear eyes were like an abyss, but suddenly, those incomparably clear black eyes flashed with rays of light. His fingers lightly plucked the seven zither strings before him, drawing out a humming cry of voiceless consonants. A deep and resounding profoundness resided within this voiceless consonance. The haunting tune rose in spirals; in an instant, the air seemed to freeze as a dazzling violet light burst forth from between his brows. Everyone was washed over by this violet light. As one of the best on the continent as well as the sole Violet Rank Divine Music mage, Qin Shang began his performance.
Zither music was clearly transmitted to each individualâs ears. The Wavast Kingdom army naturally didnât know that at this moment, atop the city wall of Feir City, a tremendous amplification spell had been cast behind Qin Shang. For the purpose of todayâs battle, Arcadia had prepared for a very long time. This was similar to what Ye Yin Zhu had done in Konya City to wage war against the beastmen, different yet clever tunes were played with equal skill.1
Qin Shang didnât need to borrow spiritual force, however, as he was a true Violet Rank. Not only that, but even if the warriors on his side were weak, their strength was still vastly superior to Ye Yin Zhuâs side when heâd confronted the beastmen. Although the Wavast Army had a crowd of a hundred thousand, compared to the near hundred Behemoths leading four great legions of beastmen, well, this discrepancy didnât need to be justified.
âQuick, every mage attackâattack that person atop the city wall. We absolutely cannot let his magic be fully brought out.â At this crucial moment, the war adviser Shawese urgently shouted at the troops. He already couldnât prevent himself from exceeding his place and meddling in other peopleâs affairs.
But accompanying his loud shout was a dazzling violet light that suddenly soared up from the ground. A person rushed out just as the Wavast Kingdom Dragon Cavalry Legion tried to surround and protect those hundred Fire mages.
The tall figure with an aged face held a longsword in his hand, one that flickered with violet light, amply demonstrating his rank. He was a warrior. What was a Violet Rank warrior? This was a person t.i.tled a Great War Master. It was compulsory for a Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander to have this strength.
Ye Li wasnât a Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander because he didnât have a dragon. This in no way influenced his strength as a Great War Master, however.
A warrior near a mage, what result would this produce? As a Violet Rank, Ye Li absolutely wouldnât allow the mages before him to have any opportunity to summon magical beasts. As for instantaneous magic, that to him would fundamentally have no effect.
His hidden emergence from below was actually very simple; prior to the Wavast Kingdom Armyâs approach, Feir City had already dug tunnels in the area in front of their wall, a tunnel system that couldnât be regarded as highly complex. With Ye Liâs strength, Â he could clearly judge where the Dragon Cavalry was from their sounds even underground. His ambush target was naturally the core that the Dragon Cavalry was guarding.
When Ye Li had burst forth from underground, innumerable mages were shredded to pieces by his tyrannical Bamboo Dou Qi. The next moment, he was floating in the air, resembling a gigantic hedgehog in appearance. Countless sharp, powerful rays of violet light shot out viciously, and a fog sprung into existence.
The center of the Wavast Kingdomâs hundred thousand troops became a sad and colorful display of blooming flowers. When the Bamboo Dou Qi attack swept through the hundred Fire mages, there was only one outcome: instant death.
Dying to a Violet Rank Great War Masterâs ambush, their deaths couldnât be considered unjustified.
Ye Li laughed loudly, as if the boredom that had slowly acc.u.mulated in his heart for ten long years had been completely vented. Facing this Wavast Army, he had no fear at all as he threw himself into the fray. His body floated in the air and was like violet bamboo leaves, razor sharp and briefly continuous. As a violet phantom, he skewered through the enemies before heading back in the direction of Feir City.
Violet Rank Bamboo Dou Qi; shuttling through the hundred thousand troops and sweeping everything before him, even if it were the Dragon Cavalry, they were completely unable to catch his silhouette or obstruct Ye Li for even a moment.
Shawese was completely lifeless. This was the first time he had seen how frightening a powerful figure could be on the battlefield. He muttered to himself, âTaking the lives of the mages amidst an army of a hundred thousand as though he was merely plucking them out from his pocket, how strong is this Great War Master?â At this very moment, he finally realized why the Kingdom of Arcadia would suddenly become unyielding. If the acquisition of a Violet Rank Great Magister was still not enough to give them confidence, then with a Violet Rank Great War Master included, they would absolutely be a hundred percent confident.
The effects of the song were beginning to fully manifest.
Far exceeding Ye Yin Zhuâs zither magic in profoundness, the results of this war were far better than when Ye Yin Zhu had faced his enemy. The warâs outcome had already been foreordained when Ye Li had flashed forward and slain the hundred Fire mages.
Ye Yin Zhu and the students of Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts were being escorted by a large body of troops back to Sacred Heart City. The Autumnal Defensive War this year had already been completely finished. The beastmen that had proceeded with their crazy a.s.sault had been resolved into an all-army retreat, falling completely back to the incomparably fortified and rumored strongest stronghold on the continentâMjolnir Stronghold.
Unexpectedly, Maldini didnât take advantage and attack. Mjolnir was still too fortified, and with the lack of preparation, a war between the beastmen would be described as the enemy casualties being a thousand, themselves being eight hundred. Most of all, five hundred of Maldiniâs prized Falcon Dragons had actually been completely wiped out, dealing an equally tremendous blow to the Milan Empireâs military. To both sides, this was the best choice for the warâs outcome.
Sacred Heart City, Commanderâs Tent.
âThe matter is like this. Apart from the two Gold Behemoths that used some unknown method to take away all the Behemoths, the other forty thousand beastmen troops were completely annihilated. And as for our tamed dragons, wellâŠâ As he said this, Oliveira couldnât help but lower his head sadly.
There were currently many people within the Commanderâs Tent, with Prince Fisich.e.l.la and Princess Xiang Luan having the highest status. Maldini sat at the head of the table, silently listening to his third grandson Oliveiraâs report. The Milan Empireâs twenty other legion-level or higher generals along with Silver Star or higher Dragon Cavalry Commanders were all present. Of course, there was also the hero of the Battle at Konya CityâMilan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Artsâ first-year student Ye Yin Zhu of the Divine Music division.
Hearing his grandsonâs report, Maldiniâs expression didnât change in the slightest, but his right hand was already unconsciously gripping his wooden chair with a tight grasp.
Why wouldnât he feel distressed? The Falcon Dragons could be said to be the absolute elite that he had personally trained, playing countless critical roles on the battlefields. It could be said that every single Falcon Dragon Cavalry Knight was a hero of the Milan Empire, even possessing at least a n.o.ble t.i.tle of âKnight.â And for the first time, they were completely defeated without a single one left alive.
The Battle at Konya City, from any other perspective, was a complete victory for the Milan Empire. They had annihilated the enemyâs four legions, and even more importantly, they had ruined the enemyâs intended strategy. Maldini easily reasoned out why the beastmen plundering legions forced their way through Brenner Pa.s.s. He also deeply understood what this victory meant to the Milan EmpireâŠ
