Chapter 8

In one scene, to the northwest of Tangjia Town, more than twenty wolf demons were moving towards the town at a steady pace from the outskirts of the Cangman Mountains. At this point, they were less than a hundred miles away from Tangjia Town, so the wolf demons could be clearly distinguished, and even their numbers were obvious.

In another scene, to the northeast of Tangjia Town, the distance was between one hundred and two hundred miles, so the image was somewhat blurry. Only a black flood could be seen, rushing towards Tangjia Town at lightning speed.

The human army, cavalry, and Huaxia Jiu quickly determined the real images in the scenes based on the relevant data in his mind.

From the speed and distance of the two forces, the wolf demon squad would arrive at Tangjia Town in about half an hour, while the human cavalry would need about an hour.

Because the people of Tangjia Town did not go to the mine to carry ore, it was expected that wolf demons would come to investigate. Huaxia Jiu had already made arrangements with Tang Guanshu and others, planning to lure the wolf demons into the hall and then seal the exit, using the traps set up in advance in the passage and the hall to kill the wolf demons. Although more wolf demons came than expected, it was still within a controllable range.

However, the arrival of the human cavalry was something Huaxia Jiu did not anticipate. According to the memories of Tang Guanshu and others, Tangjia Town had long been abandoned by the mainstream human society, and it was absolutely impossible for an army to be sent to rescue them.

This brought new troubles to Huaxia Jiu. After careful consideration, Huaxia Jiu was almost certain that if the secret of him being a robot was discovered by humans outside Tangjia Town, he would be captured and studied, especially by forces that could command an army, which would be very dangerous.

...

In the backyard of the largest weapon shop in Tangjia Town, a simple casting room had been transformed into a weapon casting base covering two to three acres. Here, all the blacksmiths from Tangjia Town and the surrounding dozen or so towns were concentrated to forge weapons and armor for the wolf demons.

After all the wolf demons in Tangjia Town were killed by Huaxia Jiu, Tang Guanshu had already taken over this place.

At this moment, Tang Guanshu was leading several young men to move the already forged weapons and armor out of the warehouse, counting the numbers, and planning how to distribute them to the townspeople to enhance their self-defense capabilities.

At this moment, Tang Guanshu, standing to one side, suddenly changed his expression and let out a cry of surprise.

Then he directly knelt down, listening devoutly to something.

This scene frightened the few young men beside him. They exchanged glances and, in a daze, also knelt down.

If the few people beside him had observed carefully, they would have noticed that Tang Guanshu had a small, bean-sized object in his left ear. This was the so-called "Divine Ear" that Huaxia Jiu had given to Tang Guanshu, actually a miniature Bluetooth earpiece that allowed short-range communication.

After a few breaths, Tang Guanshu suddenly said, "I will strictly follow the divine command."

Tang Guanshu organized the words of the divine messenger, then stood up and looked solemnly at the few young men beside him, saying with great solemnity, "The divine messenger has just transmitted the divine command. The divine artifact 'Thousand-Mile Eye' has detected the arrival of the wolf demon squad. You go and gather everyone, bring them here, quickly equip each person with weapons, and move all the armor to the basement we dug earlier. Then destroy all the furnaces and tools, and finally take all the food and as much water as possible from the town and hide them in the basement under the clan house."

The few young men, influenced by Tang Guanshu and the great divine messenger, and hearing that the wolf demon squad was about to arrive, dared not delay. They quickly ran off to gather the townspeople.

Seeing the few people leave, Tang Guanshu sighed with relief, but his solemn expression did not diminish; it became even more serious.

"Divine Messenger, let me pick a set of armor and weapons for you, as well as a bow and arrows. Yes! I must pick out the best armor and weapons for the Divine Messenger." Tang Guanshu muttered to himself while searching through the warehouse.

...

To ordinary wolf demons, being able to stay in Tangjia Town was the luckiest and happiest thing. They could enjoy the comfortable human houses and beds, the delicate and tender human women, and even have the chance to eat the freshest human flesh.

Although the Wolf Demon King had ordered them not to eat humans, if humans resisted, it was not considered a violation. All of this was what ordinary wolf demons envied the most.

The Earth Wolf clan, being the personal guards of the Wolf Demon King, were deeply trusted by him, so they were responsible for forging weapons.

Tie Geda was a relatively intelligent wolf demon, and he was the one who reported the situation in Tangjia Town to the Iron Wolf Commander in the iron mine. When he discovered that the humans in Tangjia Town had not come to carry ore, he knew his opportunity had come. So he took the initiative to report, knowing the Iron Wolf Commander's character, and was generally assigned to investigate, which indeed happened.

Tie Geda walked at the front, indulging in his own cleverness for a moment, then began to think about how to find a reason to stay in Tangjia Town for a night while looking in the direction of Tangjia Town. Behind him were nineteen wolf demons.

At this moment, including Tie Geda, all the wolf demons' furry ears suddenly perked up, and they all stopped at the same time.

"What is that sound? It sounds like a beast tide," one wolf demon said uncertainly.

Tie Geda ignored the other wolf demons, crouched down, and pressed his ear to the ground to listen.

After a few breaths, Tie Geda suddenly jumped up, his face full of fear, and shouted, "It seems to be human cavalry, to our east, about thirty miles away. Quickly climb that mountain."

Having said that, Tie Geda led the way to a small mountain nearby. The other wolf demons, seeing this, changed their expressions and followed without a word.

The small mountain was not high, and the wolf demons climbed to the top in a few breaths.

Cautiously climbing to the top of the mountain, the wolf demons looked to the east and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, their faces turning pale. In previous wars with humans, cavalry was one of the main means used by humans in battles against wolf demons, and it had always been a nightmare for ordinary wolf demons. Tie Geda had only guessed, but now the wolf demons saw it with their own eyes and realized the severity of the situation.

"Indeed, it is human cavalry, and they are elite, at least two thousand strong. Tie Qiu! You quickly transform into a wolf and return to the mountains at the fastest speed to report the situation to the Commander, gather the clan's army, and eliminate the human cavalry." Tie Geda said with a serious expression to a wolf demon with noticeably longer limbs.

The wolf demon nodded and ran down the mountain. By the time he reached the bottom, he had transformed into a giant wolf, galloping towards the Cangman Mountains at lightning speed, faster than human warhorses.

The human cavalry and the wolf demon squad were coming from the northeast and northwest directions, respectively. Due to the time and speed, the distance between them was gradually decreasing. If the wolf demon squad had not discovered the human cavalry in advance, it was very possible that the two forces would have met.

All of this was something Huaxia Jiu, staying in Tangjia Town, had not anticipated.

In the hall of Tangjia Town.

Huaxia Jiu was wearing armor, with a fine steel longsword slung diagonally at his waist, a longbow and a quiver on his back, the quiver containing nearly a hundred arrows. Apart from his overly tall and straight posture, he looked no different from an ordinary human warrior.

The armor was generally a good fit, but due to the limited skills of the town's blacksmiths, it was quite rough, with many gaps at the joints. The forearms were not connected to the armor, and Huaxia Jiu's original protective walls and hidden sniper guns, laser guns, and other devices were still in place. Additionally, the fine steel longsword was much wider and heavier than an ordinary longsword, nearly two meters long, and almost dragging on the ground when slung at Huaxia Jiu's waist.

This made Huaxia Jiu look both majestic and somewhat out of place.

This armor was the only one that roughly matched the human body type, found by Tang Guanshu after searching the entire warehouse. The other armors were made for wolf demons, the smallest of which was about two meters tall. This one was made for the bai demons, which had a symbiotic relationship with wolf demons, hence the shorter arms.

Huaxia Jiu had taken off his original robot police armor and buried it under the hall.

After organizing his equipment, he was about to set out to meet the human cavalry in advance.

At this moment, Huaxia Jiu suddenly paused and muttered to himself, "The wolf demon squad seems to have discovered the human cavalry. This makes things more complicated."

...

Ten miles to the northeast of Tangjia Town, in a low, dry riverbed, General Huang and five young generals led two thousand cavalry, hiding in the riverbed. Apart from the breathing of the men and horses, the riverbed was silent.

The well-trained and disciplined elite cavalry were evident.

Behind a large rock, General Huang and four young generals were carefully hiding, looking towards Tangjia Town in the distance.

Zhao Fengyun, mixed in with the group, secretly criticized General Huang's cautiousness.

General Huang lightly coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and said with great solemnity, "According to the scouts' reports, there are not many wolf demons in Tangjia Town, and no sentries have been posted, with a maximum of about a hundred. To prevent any wolf demons from escaping and bringing in a large force of demons, we must kill all the wolf demons in the town. Therefore, I have decided to use the 'four-sided encirclement, followed by advancement, and finally total annihilation' strategy. I now announce the orders: Zhang Xiong will lead the first battalion to the northwest of the town to block the wolf demons' escape route to the Cangman Mountains; Wang Lingxing will lead the second battalion to the southwest of the town and then advance into the town; He Mingsheng will lead the third battalion to attack from the southeast; and I will lead the personal battalion with Zhao Fengyun to enter the town from this route. Remember, you must establish the blockade first before advancing. Additionally, try not to harm the humans in the town. Alright, let's begin."

As the group responded, they saluted and left to gather their respective units. Only General Huang and Zhao Fengyun remained, the latter looking somewhat displeased.

Soon, the sound of iron spears lightly colliding with armor and the slightly accelerated breathing of the horses began to echo in the riverbed.

The next moment, the neighing of horses gradually rose, and the cavalry, once again ready, began to move out in three directions, each with five hundred cavalry, quietly and quickly heading towards the southwest, northwest, and southeast of Tangjia Town, like a calm but powerful tide.
