The performance of the Four Tyrannical Bears was astounding. However, Zhang Yang was no longer in the mood to be awed by them.
Because there were too many enemies.
Even though the Four Tyrannical Bears had blown away nine captain jackals, there were still nearly 40 captain jackals climbing and jumping up the wall with unparalleled litheness.
And the terrible thing was that as of that moment, neither Zhang Yang nor Wu Yuan had found the jackals’ village chief nor hero.
Is the village chief so arrogant that it doesn’t even need to lead the charge personally?
“Wu Yuan, cover me!”
Zhang Yang shouted. He intended to use his ultimate move to deal with the village chief or hero. It was too late for him to keep waiting.
He activated the soul force field instantly, enveloping a 50-meter radius. All people, objects, and details—even the flow of air and flight of blood—were under his control. This was his domain, his battlefield, and also his greatest ace.
A Spear of Imprisonment flew up and drew a perfect arc in mid-air. There was neither a beginning nor an end. Everything happened in an instant!
The captain jackals that held steel shields and swords and were clad in iron armor were ferocious as they leaped vertically. But as soon as they entered his soul force field, they turned into corpses.
In this domain, time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.
This was the ultimate—soul suppression!
Only one who possessed the same or stronger level of soul strength as Zhang Yang would be able to ignore the soul force field.
In a split second, the crowd witnessed the captain jackals leap onto the wall. Then came a bloody storm!
A total of 10 Spears of Imprisonment were manipulated by Zhang Yang. Thirty out of the 38 captain jackals that rushed up to the wall were instantly slaughtered by him.
This was already his limit. Zhang Yang originally thought that manipulating the Spears of Imprisonment in his soul force field wouldn’t consume too much soul energy. But in fact, as the captain jackals were more powerful than level 1 green wolves and armored deer minions, he had consumed much more soul energy—so much so that each Spear of Imprisonment could only kill three targets before the duration ended and rendered them useless.
Zhang Yang plopped down on the ground, unable to even move his fingers.
“Kill it!”
Wu Yuan’s murderous scream sounded like explosive thunder. He pierced his spear through the shield of a jackal with a single thrust and instantly killed it.
The rest of the soldiers also swarmed in, and it was a bloody scene.
Even though there were still seven captain jackals left at that moment, they still inflicted the most terrible casualties to Zhang Yang’s side in the shortest possible time.
Two captain bowmen on his side were cut in two before they could even react.
Three elite spearmen thrust their spears at two captain jackals. However, the two captain jackals easily dodged with their unparalleled nimbleness and retaliated. In a split second, another three heads flew into the sky. His elites were no match for the enemy captains.
A bowstring vibrated and four golden eagle armor-breaking arrows killed the two captain jackals. But in the blink of an eye, another captain bowman was killed with a slash.
Wu Yuan snarled. His spear was like a dragon as he stabbed a captain jackal to death. But at the same time, he was approached by two other captain jackals. A knife stabbed into his belly and another went through his back.
He let go of his spear and threw a punch, knocking out one of them. Meanwhile, the other captain jackal leaped into the air and brandished its knife at Wu Yuan’s neck. It seemed like Wu Yuan wouldn’t be able to dodge it.
Bam!
All of a sudden, an arrow came from nowhere, bursting out the eye of that captain jackal as it died on the spot.
Drawing his spear, Wu Yuan killed another captain, and at that moment, the soldiers surrounded the remaining captain jackals, coordinating with Qin Yidao and other bowmen to kill them.
This whole process lasted only three to four seconds.
Under the leadership of Wu Yuan, a quasi-hero, seven men died, while six were seriously injured. It was especially so for the three captain bowmen who had died too unjustly.
Meanwhile, under the wall, the Four Tyrannical Bears had started a one-sided massacre with the elite jackal infantry, which was one step behind.
The difference between captains and elites was just too huge.
In a short while, the remaining elite jackal infantry and elite jackal bowmen fled in all directions. They were so quick that they disappeared into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye. It was too late to chase them.
At that moment, Zhang Yang couldn’t be bothered with the heavy casualties on his side as he was still occupied by the same thought.
Neither the village chief nor the hero showed up in this battle. Otherwise, it would have ended differently.
Could it be that this jackal village chief is playing some mind games?
This was his conclusion in the end.
And it should also be reasonable. Otherwise, if that jackal village chief had combat power as powerful as the deer lord’s, a hero as powerful as the black hill demon, and also owned 50 or 60 captains, its overall strength could definitely crush the deer lord and dominate the region.
Would it even need to wait until now to do it?
In reality, the jackal village chief and the deer lord kept each other at bay, and neither could deal with the other.
This makes sense. The deer lord used all its resources on itself and chose to walk the path alone, so it is very strong. It also started the hero trial and obtained a hero. However, it didn’t have any captains—not even a single one. It relied solely on the advantages of its troops complementing one another. In the end, its army encountered mine and was wiped out due to the lack of powerful troops.
On the other hand, this jackal village chief was wise enough to take the route of having unified troops with all resources being used to strengthen them. That is why there are a large number of captains. But because of its own weakness, it failed to start the hero trial, so it didn’t obtain a hero. As a result, it encountered me and was defeated in battle.
Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, before hurriedly letting the seriously-injured Wu Yuan enter the Tree Demon Tower. The same went for the other casualties, while the lightly-wounded ones were made to patrol the walls.
The battle was won, but it was badly fought, with seven captain bowmen killed and two seriously hurt.
Five elite spearmen were killed and two severely wounded. Four elite shield soldiers were heavily injured as well.
Song Dachui suffered serious injuries yet again. He was shot into a hedgehog by those elite jackal bowmen. If not for the black hill demon battle mark and Wang Mumu’s cover, he would have been dead.
On the contrary, there was no loss of recruits. Zhang Yang quickly let that training ground instructor, Qin Ge, continue the training. As long as he waited until the training was completed the next day, he could gain 50 captains in one go.
It was also worth mentioning that the arrow that saved Wu Yuan on the wall was fired by the instructor, and he really had killed only one enemy.
But at that moment, Zhang Yang couldn’t care less. He had to seize the time to harvest the spoils of war and strengthen his territory.
