Chapter 30 – Massacring Sonic Blade (III)
—————————————————————
Sura walked up to Ye Yin Zhu. Lightly patting his shoulder, he asked with deep concern, “Are you alright?”
Ye Yin Zhu forced a smile and nodded, saying, “We need to leave quickly. As it turns out, this massacre is a rather painful affair.”
Sura sighed lightly. “In order to protect yourself, sotis killing people is unavoidable. You will beco used to this after many instances. Oh! Look!” She suddenly pointed towards the base of the mountain.
Their pupils all dilated at the sa ti. They saw, at the base of the mountain, that there were beastn marching as far as the eye could see, with the leading beastn already halfway up the mountain. With such vast numbers, even with an indefinite amount of ti, they would not be able to count them all. Following the beastn were a few creatures approaching three ters in height. These beastn’s bodies were covered in yellow and black stripes. They appeared to be even stronger than the Apen. Behind them were tawny furred, black-spotted beastn, who, despite their slighter stature, still approached two ters in height and possessed a surprisingly quick speed that allowed them to overtake the furthest Apeman—practically flying up the mountainside. They had clearly heard the sounds of fighting atop the mountain.
“Tigern and Leopardn—the entirety of the beastn’s main force. With the addition of the Apen, it’s a powerful military force full of expert climbers. Heavens! What are the beastn up to?” Sura took a breath of cold air, only to feel a chill shudder throughout his whole body.
Xiang Luan suddenly cried out, “Behemoths! Those are Behemoths!”
At the rear of the beastn ranks were Behemoths, their gigantic bodies reaching fifteen ters in height. The sun shone down on their iron-gray hair, and rays of light reflected off its tallic sheen. Their bodies were extrely tall, allowing them to be clearly seen even from afar. To say the least, a visual estimate would unexpectedly conclude the presence of a minimum of a hundred Behemoths. Along with the Tigern, Apen, and Leopardn, these were the main powers of their military. This accumulated power was equivalent to a third of Mjolnir Stronghold’s forces.
“Quickly go!” Ye Yin Zhu could no longer allow himself to feel awkward. Both of his hands grabbed Xiang Luan and Hai Yang. Calling out to Sura, he rapidly soared off in the direction of Konya City. That army had several tens of thousands of beastn! Not ntioning his one person, even if there was a hundred of him, he still wouldn’t dare to confront those gigantic beastn Behemoths—the main forces of the army.
Sura’s speed was extrely quick. A mont later and he had already passed Ye Yin Zhu. Ye Yin Zhu bellowed, “Sura! You’re fast; go back to Konya City and warn them! Those beastn are definitely attacking Konya City. Who would’ve thought that they actually did not hesitate to traverse over that natural defense. It seems that our army is still too careless. This Beastn War might not be as simple as rely plundering food. Konya City is surrounded by mountains, so there is only one path that leads to Milan Empire. If the beastn rush through, after exiting Konya City and going through Brenner Pass, they could then march right to the wide expanse of Puglia Plains, unstoppable. I’m afraid the Milan Empire will suffer disastrously.”
Listening to Oliveira’s lectures on battle strategies these past days, his familiarity with the battlefield map allowed him to roughly predict the objectives of the Beastn Army. Puglia Plains could be considered as the most important food source of the Milan Empire. The fertile land had led to the developnt of many major comrcial cities. Due to this region being inland, the city’s defenses were extrely poor. Not considering the inclusion of Behemoths in the Beastman Army, even an ordinary army would easily perish before the Beastman Army. Those cities could be described as the economic lifeline of Milan Empire.
Sura hesitated. “If I go first, what about you?”
Ye Yin Zhu urgently pressed, “Now’s not the ti. Go, hurry up and go! Only with early preparation can we get a better chance at stopping them. Tell Elder Brother Oliveira and make him imdiately ask for help from Sacred Heart City. If not, it’ll be too late. The beastn still haven’t arrived, so there’s still ti. Quick, go!”
Sura knew that Ye Yin Zhu’s words weren’t wrong. Clenching his teeth, his body suddenly picked up speed. With the effects of the Eternal Substitute Puppet, his speed surpassed his natural limits. He flew past Ye Yin Zhu and sped towards Konya City.

Mjolnir Stronghold.
Chief Guti of the Thor Tribe was a formidable Lionman. As the King of the Thor Tribe, he was their most powerful warrior, his power comparable to a common Behemoth. His height surpassed three ters, and his whole body emitted a threatening air. He had two lion eyes, which, apart from having a powerful sight, shone with radiance and a bit of savage cruelty. Clearly, he didn’t possess the simple brain of a common beastn.
His large, strong hand unhurriedly beat the table in front of him. Looking at the sandbox on top of the table, his eyes flashed with a proud light.
“Our n should already be crossing Brenner Pass. As long as they clear Brenner Pass, the Milan Empire’s trendous wealth will inevitably belong to our Thor Tribe. When the mont cos, the Bearn over at Solomon and the Tigern at Mars Stronghold will no longer be able to contend against our Thor Tribe’s strength. The Northern Wasteland will be unified under my hand at last. Good, this is truly fantastic. Sir Erson, you have truly granted our Thor Tribe the greatest riches. Fortunately, we had your advice; otherwise, it would have never occurred to to break through the pass to directly strike the people within Milan.”
Standing to the left of Guti was a blue-cloaked human. The cloak was very large, covering up his whole body and preventing his face from showing. Lowering his head, he humbly spoke in a low and hoarse voice. “Praise Thor. This is Thor’s grace for his people. At the mont, we need to greatly pressure Milan. Even if they discover our n penetrating deeply into Milan later, they would not dare to transfer more Dragon Cavalry forces there as support. Only like this will we be able to plunder even greater riches. I believe your army will be able to fill the ten space rings I have bequeathed you.”
Guti laughed loudly. “Correct, what you said is correct. Those ten space rings can even hold a city. I believe that very soon, my people will see how imnse the riches of Milan are.” Saying this, a cold light flashed across his eyes. “Only, I am quite worried of how Blue Dias will respond. Sir Erson, you said that if we succeed in attacking the inner regions of Milan, it will destroy the equilibrium of the north. Would this not provoke Blue Dias? We cannot contend against their strength. My ancestors left behind moirs telling us from beginning to end of the impossibility of contending against Blue Dias.”
Erson smiled slightly and said, “No, of course not. Blue Dias Seven Pagoda is unlikely to easily intervene in the affairs of the continent. Milan Empire is the most powerful empire. Although you may be able to obtain a lot of wealth this ti, but it’s unlikely you will go as far as to destabilize the Milan Empire’s foundations. Even if their nation’s power is weakened a bit, perhaps that is what Blue Dias wants to see happen. Blue Dias’ position will beco even more stable with the task of balancing the north and south.”
Guti bellowed lowly, “What does Blue Dias still need to balance?! I’m afraid that even if all the armies on the continent were to stand up together, it would still be impossible for them to confront Blue Dias. Assemble the n. Pass on my commands: All of the Wolf Cavalry Army is to set off. Mjolnir Stronghold will serve as the heart and allow to ruthlessly attack the Milan defense periter. The Lionn Guard Regint, Behemoth Army, Minotaur Army, and Centaur Archery Legion will follow my frontline attack, striking Sacred Heart City. Maldini, I want to make it so that you are unable to manage two fronts. By the ti the Milan Empire dispatches more troops, my plundering corps might have already returned in triumph. Haha… hahahaha…”

Atop the mountain peak was a large pile of snapped tree trunks. Ye Yin Zhu unceasingly bustled around. After Sura left, he himself did not urgently return to Konya City. Yin Zhu first climbed to the highest peak, stopping there for the ti being.
