The scout team was sent by the military facing a pack of Dire Wolf. They shot the wolf with their guns, but to their surprise, the guns only managed to slow the wolves' advance.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Cai Peng called his subordinates to retreat as soon as he noticed the guns were less effective against the wolves. It was not totally useless as they killed four wolves, but twelve guns only managed to kill four, it was not up to the expectation.
On top of that, they only had limited ammunition with them. Each of his subordinates only had four cartridges as a reserve while he had six. If this continued, they would run out of ammunition to fend off against the dangers.
They ran while kept shooting the wolves that persistently chased them. As the shoot continued, Cai Peng realized what he and his team faced was not just a normal wolf. As the chase continued, he realized the wolves were getting smarter.
When they tried to aim at them, the wolves would move behind the trees. They would move very fast amongst the dense trees in the forest while advancing.
"Damn!" Cai Peng cursed out after he missed all his three shots. He did not want to waste the bullet so he ceased his shot and continued to run.
Not far from the scout team, Yang Wen and his subordinates heard the gunshots, "Huh!?" He was familiar with the sound and quite confused as he looked toward the direction.
His subordinates also looked in the same direction as him. Pan Gang approached him and asked, "Should we check?"
Yang Wen fell silent for a moment, "Let's check," there was a possibility that the one who fought there was someone from the neutral faction. If it was the group from the neutral faction, he should go there, 'We can recruit them into our group, just in case the Tang Empire is hostile toward us,'
Yang Wen led the Flame Castle to the noise. Soon they found out ten people with guns fought against the wolf. Yes, two of them had fallen into the wolf's mouth.
From afar, Yang Wen watched Cai Peng and his team struggled against the pack of Dire Wolf. He soon noticed the group was wearing a military vest and uniform.
"Do they from the military?" Yang Wen muttered in a low voice, 'The neutral faction or Tang Empire?' He thought to himself. Pan Gang looked toward the captain, "Should we help them?"
"Yes, we should help them. Let's go!" After a moment of hesitation, Yang Wen decided to help Cai Peng and his team. It was impossible for the group who could finish the first portal to struggle against these wolves.
*** ***
The first Tang Empire's official battle ended with a big victory. The coordination between the people was almost perfect, causing them to suffer no casualty, not even injured.
In the front of the big hut, Tang Shaoyang gathered with his trusted subordinates. Zhang Mengyao, Lu An, Yan Sheng, Wei Xi, and Tian Donghai gathered as a bonfire lit up in the center to warm their body from the cold wind of the night.
Li Na was standing next to Tang Shaoyang, aiming the crossbow at the Orc Guards on the top. Next to her, two skilled archers also targeted the other Orc Guards.
"Are you ready?" Tang Shaoyang asked the girl. Li Na and the other two men nodded their heads, "Shoot at my signal!"
They waited for another thirty seconds before Tang Shaoyang motioned the archers to shoot.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three arrows shot toward the Orc Guards. There were four Orc Guards in total, so as soon as they released the arrow, they immediately reloaded the arrow to shoot the last Orc Guard.
Their aims were precise and accurate, the arrows hit the head and killed the Orc Guard instantly. As soon as the four Orc Guards fell, Tang Shaoyang picked the boulder that was bigger than his body.
Thick and long root was tied to the boulder. He ran toward the wall and threw the boulder to the top wall. After that, he repeated the same action, three boulders in total.
"Go! Go! Go!" He prompted his people to move after the boulder landed on the top wall. Using the root, he climbed the wall quickly. It was much faster than climbing the wall without the root.
On the other sides of the wall, the same thing happened. They threw the boulder that tied to the root and used that to climb the wall. Since this was their fifth raid, they were more experienced, and they captured the fortress quickly since the number of the orcs were less than a hundred.
It was an easy battle for Tang Shaoyang and the Captains, but Kang Xue was still struggling in the battle. She was quickly out of breath and killed fewer Orcs than the others.
After the battle, just like usual, Tang Shaoyang and the Captains were gathering to discuss where they should head next. They were predicting the next location while letting their subordinates to rest.
While they were having a discussion, they heard gunshots.
Da! Da! Da! Da!
The gunshots were quite clear to the ears, indicating whoever used the guns was not far from the fortress. The six looked at each other for a moment while the others looked toward the direction where gunshots were.
Tang Shaoyang immediately stood up, "I will check!" and rushed out of the fortress, "Close the gate!" He ordered his subordinates to close the gate after he came out.
Of course, Lu An did not want to be left behind, he followed his Boss. Since he was so fast, he easily caught up with Tang Shaoyang.
"Are they the people from the military?" Lu An asked Tang Shaoyang, the latter shrugged and replied casually, "Maybe, we will know soon,"
Soon they reached the location, both did not immediately reveal their presence.
It was a group of six being surrounded by the soldiers from the military and men in red armor. However, Tang Shaoyang's eyes were never left at the young boy in the center.
His eyes brightened up as a grin formed on his lips, "Oh boy, we meet again,"
