Chapter 82 Yang Ye <TOC> Chapter 84 Dances with Wolves
Translator: SumTLMan
According to historical records, Yang Ye founded Yangjia Army, which can be said to have made countless contributions to the Song Dynasty. He has seven sons under him. Each of whom is a general in the army and have followed this old man into battle. Each has their own unique talent and characteristics as a general. Among them, the most brilliant and talented is undoubtedly the second son, Yang Yanding. His talent is very powerful as he is endowed with innate divine strength and infinite stamina.
His temperament is pure and upright. As long as his cultivation is good, when he grows up, he will absolutely be an invincible general.
Xiang Yu, the overlord in those days, and Li Yuanba born in the Tang Dynasty are also born with innate divine power and infinite stamina. These generals are said to be peerless men who can stand up against a hundred men.
Yang Yanding is among those who have been endowed with divine power. Although there are different levels of innate divine power. His physique and talent are far beyond ordinary people and he has also great potential in becoming a top general. His qualifications are extraordinary.
“His Qi and blood capacity are huge, his bones and muscles will become incomparable when properly cultivated.”
Yi Tianxing inwardly muttered and nods to himself.
“Brother Yi, you’re here too.” When Yang Yanping noticed Yi Tianxing’s arrival, he went up to greet him with a touch of gentleness on his face.
“Well, when I heard the sound of the horn, I knew fierce beasts were gathering outside and preparing to attack the village. So I came to take a look.” Yi Tianxing nodded and said.
“Brother Yi, this is my second brother, Yang Yanding. Second brother, this is Brother Yi Tianxing.” Yang Yanping immediately introduced his second brother. Yang Ye also stayed very cordial with Yi Tianxing by not directly exposing Yi Tianxing’s true identity.
Since it was already too late.
However, he doesn’t stop his sons from becoming friends with Yi Tianxing. On the contrary, his attitude stays positive towards their association.
Although it’s Yi Tianxing’s first time meeting him, Yang Yanding can speak freely in front of him without the slightest sense of stage fright. Moreover, his momentum is strong, unfathomable and left unfazed after learning of Yi Tianxing’s ability to hunt such a large crocodile. Yang Yanding’s combat strength can already be estimated on the spot.
Yi Tianxing is extremely optimistic his identity and strength will become well-known.
Such a man, as long as he doesn’t die halfway, can definitely cause waves in this new world. As Yi Tianxing said before, the whole Yangjia Village is on the verge of collapse. Even if Yang Ye doesn’t care about his own death, he must make future plans for his children.
“Elder Brother Yi, you can call me Yanding or Second Brother. I heard you hunted a huge crocodile. I have never seen a crocodile before. But I will certainly hunt a crocodile in the future.”
Yang Yanding strangely doesn’t have any sense of restraint. Instead, he is extremely enthusiastic. From his speech, he sounds very interested in Yi Tianxing’s crocodile hunt.
Whether it’s because he is a military general or has innate divine power, he naturally feels a sense of closeness with the powerful.
“There will be a chance in the future.” When Yi Tianxing heard this, he just smiled and replied.
But at this moment, his eyes turned towards outside.
When he looks outside Yangjia Village, he only saw giant wolves staring coldly at the whole village. Each head is very tall, spreading incomparable hostility which causes the people to shudder. Even causing an invisible sense of fear to rise within their hearts. Between the ferocious fangs, there are tiny droplets of saliva constantly dripping down. Each pair of eyes displays greed and bloodthirsty light.
Such giant wolves are terrifying.
With such huge bodies in front of them, even a tiger will turn around and flee on the spot after seeing such a scene. The combat capabilities from these beasts are too fierce and don’t fall below tigers. These wolves are large enough to even be ridden as mounts.
The soldiers are unafraid of one or two heads, but there are now hundreds to thousands of heads outside the perimeter of the village. Moreover, this number seems to be constantly increasing as more are coming from other places in the valley. Each head emanates a power comparable to the most powerful ordinary humans or even more powerful. These beasts are close to the realm of cultivators and can even fight on par with first cycle divine sea realm cultivators.
The most important aspect is there are too many of them.
Another terrible thing about the wolves is these beasts are pack animals. When a wolf hunts, they cooperate with each other and hunt in a pack with their cooperation being quite tacit. With this way of hunting, the destructive power is exponentially increased.
“Have these wolves been the ones attacking the village?”
Yi Tianxing looked at the constantly increasing number of wolves appearing outside the village and a solemn shade appeared in his eyes.
“Yes, there are too many wolves, and we don’t know where they’re coming from. But we do know they must be coming from the surrounding grasslands. At first, they weren’t as numerous. Now, they aren’t only increasing in numbers but also increasing the damage done to the village. This is just the beginning, there will be more arriving later. If they’re going to attack, it will be during the night.”
Yang Yanping took a deep breath and solemnly said.
“These wolves will be stronger at night.” Yang Ye said with a deep voice.
The recent attacks from the wolves have come during the night, but it’s not as though they haven’t fought these ** wolves during the day. At first, Yangjia Army didn’t lose too many soldiers when they had fought during the day. With comparisons between two battles, they were able to directly determine the strength and ability of these wolves.
“Hateful, father, let me take a group of soldiers outside and kill these arrogant evil wolves.” Yang Yanding clenched his fist, grit his teeth and shouted. The wolves outside glared at the village with cold eyes, which made Yang Yanding even more furious. He fiercely knelt down on one knee and crossed his hand on his chest towards Yang Ye.
“Don’t be impulsive, we don’t have the strength to go out again! There are only more than a thousand soldiers left. With no horses around, we are left unable to mount a charge. Even if there are warhorses, we still have to be wary of advancing in front of these wolves. With these giant wolves, as long as we leave the village undefended, Yangjia Village will be completely slaughtered! Today, we are only left with the option of passively defending, unable to go outside and directly attack!”
Yang Ye directly snapped at him.
With how rich his combat experience is, his grasp of the war situation is perfect. His present understanding of the current situation is extremely clear.
The wolves outside are faster than humans. If they form a battle array, the army can still fight head-on against the wolves. Otherwise, they have to hide behind fortifications to fight against these wolves. But if they do decide to fight outside the village. This choice dooms the villagers to a fate of certain death, almost completely abandoning and condemning the lives of the ten thousand people in the whole village. Once Yangjia Army no longer defends the village, this move is just like handing a delicious meal on a silver platter to the wolves.
No one knows how many people will fall if they take this option.
They are forced to stay in the village and passively defend.
There is no other option.
He controls too few soldiers, even if Yang Ye has great ability, he has no way of displaying it.
As Yi Tianxing has said before, the whole village is on the brink of collapse. Unless these wolves can be completely resolved, it will be difficult to escape from the fate of total collapse.
“The wolf king amongst these wolves hasn’t appeared yet.” Yi Tianxing said as he slightly frowned.
With such a large pack of wolves, the wolf king must be extremely powerful, and it must be a fierce magical beast. Once on the battlefield, it will almost certainly have an innate magical power depending on its bloodline and talent.
There are many breeds of wolves, and their talents vary from strong to weak. Just like the green wolf that Yi Tianxing had killed before. This was a wind wolf. It had an innate wind attribute bloodline.
According to the information he had learned earlier, the wolf king here is silver.
There are many different types of silver wolf kings, so he doesn’t know which specific one he is dealing with. If Yi Tianxing hasn’t seen it with his own eyes, he won’t be able to determine the specific type.
“Elder Brother Yi, look, it’s the silver wolf who I had blinded before. It has come out again.” Just now, Yang Yanding suddenly looked on a small hillside opposite to him and impressively saw a silver wolf standing there.
However, the size of this silver wolf isn’t as large as the giant wolves nearby. It can only be regarded as the same size as an ordinary wolf. But its coat of fur is silvery white.
However, he can see one of the silver wolf’s eyes has been blinded. Obviously, it was blinded by an arrow. From the remaining eye, he can see an extremely strong hatred emanating from it. This kind of killing intent shows how anxious it was to completely slaughter the entire Yangjia Village.
Wolves are the most vengeful animals, especially wolves with top bloodlines. Their vengeance is even more terrifying.
From this point of view, it’s impossible for these wolves to spare Yangjia Village. As long as this wolf doesn’t die, it will always stare at Yangjia Village.
“Is it really the silver wolf which led the attack on the village in the beginning? It seems it didn’t die when it was shot in the eye by the second brother. But now with it recovering from its injury, its ready to take revenge.” Yang Yanping took a deep breath as he solemnly said.
In the previous attacks, this silver wolf didn’t appear. Now with it showing up, it obviously intends on taking its vengeance.
“The silver wolf has a crescent mark on its forehead. This should be related to the moon.” Yi Tianxing keenly noticed something on the silencer wolf’s forehead. There is a silver crescent mark glowing with silvery-light as if moonlight was flowing through it.
“Howling Moon Silver Wolf: This wolf has a unique talent and bloodline. It can absorb power from the moonlight and increase its strength. Under the moonlight, its strength can soar, even greatly increasing the speed of recovery from serious injuries. Under the moonlight, their stamina is endless. With the power of the silver moon, their growth and potential are amazing.”
On the Wordless Heavenly Book, a record emerges.
“Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Howling Moon Silver Wolf. No wonder it won’t attack until after nightfall. Under the moonlight, the power of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf will be multiplied, giving rise to an amazing surge in strength. Its strength directly doubles and soars.”
Yi Tianxing mutters to himself.
In this way, the most disadvantageous time for dealing with these wolves is during the night. Obviously, the best time to deal with these wolves is during the day.
Looking at the sky. It’s getting close to evening.
“General Yang, we can’t wait for an attack. Since this Howling Moon Silver Wolf has appeared, it must have come to take revenge. The purpose of tonight’s attack is to completely destroy Yangjia Village. Moreover, there is also the wolf king hidden behind it. In the evening, when the moon comes out, the chances of guarding the whole village will be extremely slim. This problem must be settled now.”
Yi Tianxing spoke decisively.
“But the people in the village…”
How could Yang Ye not know Yi Tianxing is telling the truth? However, his morals couldn’t allow sacrificing his fellow villagers behind him. There was hesitation on his face. If he were to bring his army outside, the whole village will be forced to defend itself against these wolf fangs.
