513: Yehe's command

The strong fighters in the battle squad immediately charged forward. Two principals and several teachers in the Martial Disciple Realm took the lead, followed by Lai Min, Ye Xuan, Lu Tao, and other top-ranked core students from the school. Then came the backbone, consisting of new-generation elite students like Qin Gui, Luo Ying, Wang Yu, Zhang Li, and Long Xiangning. With cultivation levels above Martial Artist, they held a steady advantage against these low-tier wolf-kind. Before long, the first wave of wolf-kind acting as cannon fodder had been slaughtered in significant numbers. The wolf pack's offensive paused slightly, but these low-tier wolf-kind were reckless in their charge, and their claws and fangs were incredibly sharp, causing many in the squad to get injured!

Even Lu Shijie accidentally had his arm scratched, causing him to frown involuntarily.

However, when he turned his head to look nearby, he was startled. There, nearly twenty wolf carcasses were piled up in disarray. The smell of blood made many people cough, and standing behind these wolf carcasses was a youth in a profound robe—Ye He!

He held a long spear with its tip pointing downward, and drops of wolf blood were still slowly dripping from it...

Students like Lai Min, Ye Xuan, Qin Gui, and Luo Ying were stunned. They had just fought with all their might, yet had only killed a few wolves each. Among them, Lai Min and Ye Xuan had killed the most, with five wolves each, but compared to Ye He's record of nearly twenty, it was nothing!

Moreover, Ye He appeared extremely relaxed, and his profound robe wasn't even stained with a single drop of wolf blood; it was incredibly dashing.

At this moment, the wolf pack seemed to have identified the combat value of this group of the Human Race. Dozens of powerful wolf-kind began to gather in Ye He's direction. Clearly, in their eyes, Ye He was the greatest combat power among this group of the Human Race. As long as they took him down, the others could be slaughtered at will...

Seeing this, the ordinary students protected in the middle couldn't help but become excited, shouting "Ye He! Ye He!" loudly. Many of them gathered toward his direction, wanting to fight alongside him.

Ye Xuan narrowed her eyes. In truth, even she wasn't quite sure what Ye He's current combat power was. Seeing this astonishing record displayed by Ye He, she didn't feel very good. Due to her distant behavior during the time Ye He was injured, a rift had developed between her and her own brother, Ye He. During this period, Ye He had almost no proper communication with her, and even his Cultivate was done in the Family's secret training room, so she didn't know his progress. However, she was very clear that the Family's resources had now been heavily tilted toward Ye He, and the amount allocated to her had decreased significantly compared to before!

Now, if she wanted to progress faster, she couldn't just rely on the Family's support; she had to rely on her own ability to fight for it and earn it desperately. This was something she didn't want to see, but there was no other way. Ye He's talent was right there, and anyone with a bit of a brain knew that they had to pour resources into him; this was the most efficient way to invest.

"Hmph, wasting so much Xuan Power just to be so impatient to regain his status in the school? How childishly ridiculous!" Ye Xuan muttered to herself, feeling disdain for Ye He's hard work in slaughtering the wolf-kind. In her view, Ye He was doing this purely for Face, wanting to regain his past glory in the school. But for the sake of this little bit of Face, now it was trouble; the wolf pack had noticed him, and now those Lead Wolfs were starting to head in his direction. It was truly retribution...

Lu Shijie also realized this and hurriedly moved toward Ye He, saying, "Ye He, be careful! The experts of the wolf-kind are coming over. Everyone, hold on a little longer; reinforcements from the city will arrive soon!"

Ye He looked around and shouted coldly, "With Principal Lu and me as the center, and the teachers and core students as the pillars, immediately set up the protective net! Students with bows and arrows in the inner circle, form three firing rings. Wait for my command to fire!"

"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison.

His words allowed everyone to immediately find the backbone of their actions and know what they should do next. This was extremely important in a squad. A large group of soldiers without organization or discipline could only have negative combat effectiveness, whereas a small group of soldiers with organization, discipline, and a backbone could unleash combat power far exceeding that of individuals. This had been verified repeatedly throughout the history of the Human Race.

On this point, Lu Shijie was far inferior to Ye He. When encountering a crisis, he would only show off his personal bravery and then offer empty promises to everyone. However, he did do a decent job of having Yun Feiyan seek reinforcements.

Soon, the students took out the protective nets they had brought along. Using the experts in the team as pillars, they enclosed a large circle. The students carrying bows and arrows formed three firing rings, waiting quietly for Ye He's command.

During this time, the wolf-kind that attacked were blocked or killed by the squad's experts, allowing the defensive formation in the rear to finally be set up successfully.

After the protective net was set up, the squad's experts retreated back and fought the wolf-kind from behind the net. Now, the benefits of having a defensive formation were visible. The wolf-kind had to Face the threat of the spiked net and the Profound Weapon of the Human Race's experts, increasing the difficulty significantly. Meanwhile, the humans hiding behind the net not only improved their slaughter efficiency but also reduced many accidental injuries. The overall sense of safety in the squad improved by a large margin!

"First ring of archers, target: medium-to-long-range wolf pack, fire!" Ye He shouted in a deep voice.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...

A volley of arrows was released, and many wolf-kind in the front immediately fell, causing a commotion in the pack. Several Lead Wolfs watching from the rear growled a few times, clearly somewhat enraged!

"Second ring of archers, same target, fire!!" Ye He's expression remained unchanged as he continued to issue orders.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...

Again, a volley of arrows was released, and many wolf-kind fell. Now, the entire wolf pack started to panic. The wolf-kind charging in the front felt a bit timid, but under the roars of several Wolf Kings, they did not dare to retreat and continued to charge, though their desire to fight had clearly weakened...

"Third ring of archers, target: close-range wolf pack, fire!!!" This time, Ye He changed the target, precisely grasping the psychological weakness of these close-combat wolf-kind.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...

This volley of arrows instantly shot down a large area of wolf-kind nearby, with brilliant results!

The pressure on the student battle squad was immediately greatly reduced. The wolf pack retreated far away, and although they kept howling, they dared not attack easily again...

"Great!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Don't run so far away. Weren't you here to hunt us? Where did your guts go?"

"A bunch of cowards! Watch me kill you all!"

"How about we just attack?"

"Yeah, we came here to clear them out. We can't let them get away!"

The students became more and more enthusiastic as they spoke, wishing they could rush up and kill the wolves. This rapid change was something Lu Shijie and the others hadn't expected...
