Vol 5 Chapter 36.2 (2/2)

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 wasn’t a Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander because he didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 Army’s approach, Feir City had already dug tunnels in the area in front of their wall, a tunnel system that couldn’t be regarded as highly complex. With Ye Li’s strength,  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 Kingdom’s 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 Master’s ambush, their deaths couldn’t 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, “Taking 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?” 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.

While Shawese became lifeless and the panicking Eastliré had no clue about what to do, Qin Shang’s zither song drew glittering violet halos of light around him.

The effects of the song were beginning to fully manifest.

Far exceeding Ye Yin Zhu’s zither magic in profoundness, the results of this war were far better than when Ye Yin Zhu had faced his enemy. The war’s 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 continent—Mjolnir Stronghold.

Unexpectedly, Maldini didn’t 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 Maldini’s prized Falcon Dragons had actually been completely wiped out, dealing an equally tremendous blow to the Milan Empire’s military. To both sides, this was the best choice for the war’s outcome.

Sacred Heart City, Commander’s Tent.

“The 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, well…” As he said this, Oliveira couldn’t help but lower his head sadly.

There were currently many people within the Commander’s 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 Oliveira’s report. The Milan Empire’s 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 City—Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts’ first-year student Ye Yin Zhu of the Divine Music division.

Hearing his grandson’s report, Maldini’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, but his right hand was already unconsciously gripping his wooden chair with a tight grasp.

Why wouldn’t 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 ‘Knight.’ 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 enemy’s four legions, and even more importantly, they had ruined the enemy’s 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 Empire…
