740: Chapter 235 The Latest Research from the Goblin Laboratory (Part 1) 740: Chapter 235 The Latest Research from the Goblin Laboratory (Part 1) Feeling the breeze, Ye Yinzhu’s thoughts began to drift away as he remembered the last words his teacher Phil Jackson had said before his soul dissipated.
Although he had e to believe that Faran’s existence wasn’t for dominating the continent but for protecting its safety and that of humans, he had never spoken about it to anyone.
Ye Yinzhu had his own ideas.
It was nearly impossible for every species in Qin City to submit to Faran, and the hatred that had arisen between Faran and Qin City because of Sloan wasn’t something that could be easily resolved.
Even if Faran existed to protect humans and guard the seals, so what?
If a day came when Qin City became strong enough to destroy Faran, he wouldn’t mind making Faran a part of Qin City.
Although this notion seemed unrealistic, when Ye Yinzhu thought about his rise from Pure Qinxin to the peak of Ziwei Qinxin in just five years, the feeling of impossibility vanished.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way; after all, nothing is impossible in this world.
“Yin Zhu,” Zi spoke in a deep and sonorous voice as his large figure came to stand beside Ye Yinzhu, shielding him from the cold north wind.
“Zi, you’ve e,” Ye Yinzhu said, a slight smile on his face.
His smile was somewhat stiff due to his expressionless eyes.
“Yin Zhu, …” Zi started to say but was stopped by Ye Yinzhu’s raised hand.
“Zi, if you came to thank me, you needn’t bother.
Do we brothers need to say such things?
If it were you, you would have done the same for me, wouldn’t you?” The two were in tune with each other’s thoughts; Zi knew what Ye Yinzhu was thinking, and Ye Yinzhu naturally knew why Zi had e to find him.
Zi’s gaze shifted toward the distant North.
“Yin Zhu, do you know, my feelings are very plicated right now.”
Ye Yinzhu raised his hand and patted Zi’s shoulder.
“I understand.
We’re about to return to our homeland, and yet we don’t know what awaits us.
Don’t overthink it, Zi.
Rest assured, if circumstances permit, we of Qin City will do our utmost to minimize harm to the Beastman Clan.”
A cold light flashed in Zi’s eyes.
“Yin Zhu, don’t worry about me, I know when and what measures need to be taken.
The Beastmen and humans are different; conciliatory policies will never make the Beastmen submit.
The Beastmen only respect strength.”
Zi put an arm around Ye Yinzhu’s shoulder without expressing the gratitude in his heart, just as Ye Yinzhu had never questioned him about whether he would support Qin City once he ruled the Northernmost Wilderness.
Some things between them didn’t need to be asked.
…
At the Landias Imperial Capital, within the Imperial Palace.
Clang— a pure gold chalice inlaid with sixteen rubies crashed onto the jade-engraved desk, making a clear sound.
The red liquid inside it splashed onto the pristine carpet, staining it like blood.
Both the chalice and the carpet were exceptional, but the Emperor of the Landias Empire, Maximo, had no concern for these luxuries at the moment.
“Casano, are you telling the truth?” Maximo asked in disbelief for the third time.
The Black Dragon Clan’s Second Elder, now the First Elder and Clan Leader of Black Dragon City, Casano, looked extremely haggard.
His face was an unhealthy pallor, and even his normally erect stature seemed slightly stooped.
He nodded solemnly.
“Maximo, it is the truth.
It’s not just you who finds it hard to believe; even now, I can’t believe it myself.
I never imagined that human effort could reach such a level.
We’ve all been wrong; we greatly underestimated the power Qin City holds.”
“Magic Crystal Cannons that can adjust their firing angle at will, that can be operated without manpower?” Maximo’s expression grew bitter.
Suddenly, he grabbed a wine jug from the table and poured several gulps into his mouth.
Drinking so hurriedly, the Emperor of Landias began to cough violently, tears, and mucus betraying his turmoil.
The Black Dragon King Casano remained standing there.
He did not go to help Maximo, knowing it wasn’t a physical issue but an emotional one.
Casano had seen this from Maximo once before.
The last time had been decades ago when the former Emperor of Landias decided to pass the throne to Maximo’s older brother.
Afterward, Maximo’s brother died an unexpected death.
After a while, Maximo’s coughing began to subside, the pure gold jug in his hand now a crushed ball of metal.
“Even the bined forces of the Seven Dragon Cities couldn’t breach the small Qin City, losing over half their strength.
Giant Divine Dragon, Howard, not only didn’t gain any advantage but also sustained serious injuries.
Good, good, good, worthy of being the man my daughter admires.
Ye Yinzhu, you’ve impressed me once again.”
Maximo’s emotions were very unstable.
Although Qin City was located between the Landias Empire and the Milan Empire, both Maximo and Black Dragon King Casano understood that the rise of Qin City signified a plete shift in the war situation on the continent.
A Qin City supported by the Four Sacred Beasts, a Zither Emperor capable of repelling one of Faran’s Seventh Tower Masters, along with the mysterious power of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans and the bination of special breeds, was enough to disrupt Landias’ grand plan.
Years of preparation, years of enduring silence were all for this war, during which Maximo had poured in almost half his life’s effort.
Although the war was not yet over, the moment he suddenly realized that his chances of victory had bee slim, that feeling was not something ordinary people could understand.
Casano suddenly moved forward, grabbing Maximo’s shoulders forcefully, “Maximo, are you afraid?”
Maximo was stunned, but his expression turned bitter, “Afraid?
Yes, I’m afraid.
I fear failure.
For the future of Landias, I’ve already given so much, I really fear losing it all.”
Casano spoke firmly, “There’s another way, the only way.”
Maximo was startled, “What is it?
Tell me.”
Casano sighed, “Our Dragon Clan considers ourselves strong, but we still couldn’t destroy Qin City.
So, the only place in this world that can pletely eradicate it is one place.”
A cold light flashed in Maximo’s eyes, “Are you talking about Faran?”
“Besides Faran, what else can you think of?
Although Qin City is not large, it has a great number of powerful beings within.
This time, during the attack on Qin City, including the Zither Emperor, Ye Yinzhu, there were five individuals who possessed bat strength parable to the Giant Divine Dragon, surpassing Zi rank to reach the Sub-God rank.
Such a powerful force is only suppressible by Faran when looking across the entire continent.
Hasn’t Faran always been supporting Landias?
Maximo, you must go to Faran yourself.
Only with Faran’s support can this war continue and only then will it have meaning.”
Maximo hesitated; of course, he understood that everything Casano had said was true, but he still hesitated.
As an emperor, he had to consider much more than Black Dragon King Casano.
Is Faran’s strength so readily leverageable?
Now that Faran has sealed itself away, if they agree to intervene in the continent’s war, it would mean that Faran would lose its transcendent status.
By then, even if one were to unify the continent, who would really control Ryuzakinus – Landias or Faran?
These were all significant issues, and Maximo could not afford to be careless about the future of Landias.
“Let me think, let me think it over,” Maximo said, slumping to the ground, his eyes flickering with plex emotions.
…
Bright sunlight bathed the land, and though winter was about to arrive, the residents of Qin City wouldn’t feel too cold thanks to the Burna Mountain Range.
Moreover, the large number of fire attribute crystal stones purchased from the Milan Empire as the energy source to support the Goblin Tribe’s research oute, the furnaces, produced enough heat to keep any dwelling in Qin City warm and cozy.
The construction of the city walls was still ongoing at full speed.
Now, facing the Milan Empire, the peaks had almost pletely connected.
Magic guide cannons were in the process of being constructed, and various defensive measures were continually being improved.
In preparation for the Faran Army that might arrive at any time, Qin City even temporarily abandoned construction in the north.
After all, unless the Beastman Clan had nothing better to do, they would not dare to offend Qin City lightly.
No one could elude the Horned Hawk Knights’ aerial reconnaissance.
That was beyond doubt.
At Qin City’s Central Plaza, since all buildings were destroyed by the Dragon Clan, the flattened ground became the place for Qin City to train soldiers and assemble the army.
At this moment, over seventy thousand troops were gathered on the plaza, ready for battle with high morale evident in their resolute and imposing manner.
Lining up at the forefront were the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry and the Legion of Behemoth Beasts, two of the three main battle regiments of Qin City.
The Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry remained well-equipped, wearing the most formidable gear in Qin City.
The Legion of Behemoth Beasts, however, had undergone some changes pared to before.
Besides the thick armor on their shoulders, they were now also covered with solid chest plates, with their limbs exposed.
Under the sunlight, these giants standing over a dozen meters tall looked even more intimidating.
The Behemoth Beasts did not require any weapons; their hundred-inch claws were the best equipment.
However, there was a change to their claws – at the base of the claws, there were magic formations made from mithril, which were simple in effect: they enhanced the toughness of the Behemoth Beasts’ claws and had certain magic-breaking properties.
