Chapter 25: Ye Huan's Multiple Choice Question

  Next, Ye Huan borrowed a sturdy long spear from one of his followers and tossed it to Xi Luo. At the same time, he mobilized some of the power of the Wind Wing and used a length of rope to tie Xi Luo's mother onto his own back.

  When Shura entered the list, he climbed to the top of a building and laughed at the old butler who was intercepting other escapees on the mountain road in the south. He raised a big thumb and then... pointed to the ground!

  Crazy!

  This not only made the old steward furious, but also made the followers hate Ye Huan so much that they wanted to tear him apart. Please, Brother Huan, even a blind person can see that the old steward is a monster now, he has already killed dozens of people, and you are provoking him at this time...

  If you can't make your enemy feel ashamed, how can you be considered a hero?

  Thinking so, Ye Huan completely ignored the reaction of the followers. He even raised a second big thumb, also pointing to the ground.

  The old steward was finally enraged, his cold laughter echoing far away. "Ye Huan, do you think you are still the Donglin Star of two years ago? Don't do anything boring here, prepare your coffin and wash your neck clean, you will be the last one to be eaten by me!"

  "Old man, are you a werewolf too?" Ye Huan scratched his head in confusion. "But you don't look like one at all. You're wearing a swallowtail coat, have a big back of the head, pale complexion, and long red fingernails. You look more like a vampire from before the Great Calamity. But that just makes me even more confused - when did vampires become the slaves of werewolves? Has your so-called noble dignity become so cheap?"

  He burst out laughing, "Alright, no more joking around. I'm representing Dàn Gē now to tell you: remember, tonight, all of us from the Savior's Party will leave from here and no one can stop us!"

  "Just you? A useless person, and carrying a paralyzed woman?"

  "Just watch!"

  Ye Huan withdrew his thumb and raised his index finger, starting from the mountain road where the old steward was. He pointed to the western cliff, then to the western district's nest shed, and also to the eastern district where the wolf man was raging... Finally, he pointed north, which was the warm water river from upstream!

  "Shura, you and Adolf both have the power to influence natural changes within a radius of ten meters, right?"

  "Adolf can burn everything, and I, as you just saw, can freeze a wider range than him!"

  "So, don't you think this big river is lovely?" Ye Huan smiled slightly. "Twenty or thirty meters wide, as long as you walk on it and exert a bit of your strength, it will freeze into an ice river, right?... And my followers in Hei Gu, you've lived here for so long, I'm sure you won't mind running on a familiar ice river, will you? Finally, take a look at the wolf pack around you, think about it, what will their reaction be when you run onto the ice?"

  He summoned Ashura for this!?

  The old steward's face changed color in shock, he understood that Ye Huan's recruitment of Xiu Luo's true goal was actually the frozen river, paving a path to escape!

  And just as Ye Huan said, the wolf tribe is really not good at fighting on ice. Once the river freezes over, the wolf pack chases after them, but their smooth fur slips on the surface, and their sharp claws get stuck in the ice blocks, slowing them down. And what's even more deadly are those 800 wolf warriors, all wearing the thickest iron armor... Good heavens, just imagine a group of iron-armored wolves appearing on the icy surface! The steel will stick to their skin in the cold environment, bringing unimaginable harm to the wolves!

  Wait!

  The old steward almost personally came over to kill Shura, but as soon as this thought emerged, he involuntarily stopped in his tracks. Could it be a conspiracy? Ye Huan wasn't a fool, why would he tell his plans to the enemy?

  Yes, he was deliberately inducing himself. As long as he rushed over and was entangled by Shura, he could lead more believers to escape from the mountain road in the south!

  Thinking so, the old butler himself couldn't help but hesitate for a few seconds, and then he even ordered a part of the wolf pack to retreat back and assist him in defending the mountain road under his feet...

  "Idiot!"

  When most of the wolf pack had been mobilized, Ye Huan let out a regretful sigh and whispered a few words to Shiro. He raised his head and said, "Old man, do you really think I want to freeze the river? Please, I'm not an idiot. Even if the twenty-odd meters wide river water really freezes, can it hold dozens of people running? We have over 7,000 people here, and at the narrow river mouth, we'll be stretched out for at least two or three hundred meters, enough to be intercepted and killed dozens of times by you!"

  Huh?

  The old steward was just flustered by Ye Huan, and he really didn't think of this problem. Isn't it supposed to be escaping from the big river in the north? That is...

  "So, is it the south?" Ye Huan shook his head as well, "No way, I'm not that stupid. The south only has one mountain road, one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men can't open it. I don't have any interest in using my followers' lives to charge at this old monster... Look here, what I want is this!"

  The old housekeeper's line of sight returned, and he was shocked to see that Shura had already killed several people on the river surface between the East District and West District. The river surface she had walked on had turned into a layer of solid ice. At the same time, many believers were throwing all sorts of flammable materials they could find nearby - oil, cotton cloth, firewood... everything that could catch fire - into the river water.

  The most wonderful thing was that the residents of Kurotani were having a grand wine party just now, and dozens of large carts of strong liquor were also thrown into the river, freezing together with those flammable things.

  Next, only to see Shura standing in the middle of the big river, holding a long gun, with white clothes flying, giving the old housekeeper a "you're too late" glance. She suddenly raised both hands, crackling, crackling, crackling... A strip of ice hundreds of meters long and one or two meters wide detached from the river surface and rose into mid-air.

  A dreamlike scene!

  Like a giant dragon made of ice sculpture, the ice band flew and rotated in mid-air, almost covering half of the sky. Shura stood at the bottom of the ice dragon, with snowflakes falling down beside her. She gazed coldly at the old butler through the veil of icy rain and snow, and suddenly drew a beautiful gun flower with the long spear in her hand. The ice dragon then flew to the top of the 7,000 people's heads, fell down, and exactly surrounded these 7,000 people in the center!

  At this time, the ice compartment is all flammable materials such as oil, liquor and firewood!

  "Old man, did you understand what I was doing?" Ye Huan's laughter sounded again. "Right, when you weren't paying attention, I had Shura freeze an ice band for me, and I also added some small things inside, such as oil, which can be burned, strong liquor, of course, it can also be burned..."

  His hand had already lit a torch, and in the old steward's almost venomous gaze, the torch ignited the icy strip. "And the burning fire is the wolf's nemesis!"

  ……

  No need for Ye Huan to say anything more, Old Housekeeper already knew that everything had come to an end!

  Flames erupted around the 7,000 people, with tongues of fire only one or two meters high and a width of only one or two meters. For an old hand like the steward, this was nothing to write home about, but for ordinary wolf tribe members, this was a chasm built by their instinctual fear of fire!

  Perhaps those eight hundred werewolf warriors could have crossed the flame belt, but they only had eight hundred people, while the other side had five hundred East Lin students who had received military training since childhood and more than seven thousand young men. Without the support of the wolf pack, these werewolves would be killing themselves!

  Moreover, Ye Huan set fire not to delay time, but to create a flame signal that is eye-catching enough in the dark night!

  The north is where Donglin Divine Academy and the Imperial Army are located. Once they see this flame, even if they don't have the mood to rescue 8,000 commoners, they won't give up on the 500 students in the valley...

  Ye Huan directly broke the old steward's mind, "Old sir, are you considering the garrison to the north? That's right, I lit this fire precisely so that the imperial soldiers would see... Guess how long it will take for them to come and rescue us, the followers of the Heavenly Father?"

  The old steward sighed...

  "Second Master, take the children home!"

  The pack of wolves unwillingly lowered their heads and howled, the eight hundred wolf-like warriors even more so, barking in refusal to retreat from the battlefield. The old butler's face turned gloomy, his anger rising as he held up a command flag, "Don't forget, I am your supreme commander! Listen to my orders, retreat! Or do you want to be surrounded by the Church's army?!"

  The wolf pack finally withdrew from the killing, they were like a well-trained human army, marching in unison up the mountain cliff, with a large number of werewolves lined up behind them, walking in an orderly manner. Seeing this scene, the old butler finally spread his bat wings and flew into the air with a whoosh.

  "Is he gone?"

  "This old monster has really retreated, and the wolf pack has really run away!?"

  The crowd in the valley burst out with an unbelievable exclamation, they gazed at the direction where the wolf pack retreated, opened their mouths and looked at Ye Huan who was standing on the rooftop laughing with open arms as if to bid farewell to the wolf pack, their mouths gradually unable to close...

  Just a few words, and Ye Huan actually made a vampire, eight hundred werewolf warriors, and countless giant wolves retreat! And his own seven thousand plus people didn't even have a single casualty!?

  ……

  No cheers, no celebrations, the valley suddenly fell into a deathly silence...

  The first one to recover was Shura, who gave a cold glance at Ye Huan and then turned her head away without saying another word.

  The second was Amy's brother, a 16- or 17-year-old boy who had never experienced such a life-and-death change. He suddenly jumped up, grabbed Ye Huan's shoulder and shook it frantically, "Tell me, tell me quickly, are we really saved? Are we really alive?"

  Gulu

  Gulu

  Gulu

  More than 7,000 people gradually recovered from their fear and exhaustion, expressing their gratitude and shock. From the moment when Feng Yi's Wing stood out as a hero at Ye Huan Station, it had not stopped growing. At this moment, it was like an unbridled wild horse, growing rapidly at a nearly crazy speed, reaching almost one meter long!

  Enumerating the things Ye Huan has done, severely punishing the corrupt officials, demanding compensation, and sealing off the weaving of Toda Kiyomitsu, all seem to be quite impressive feats. However, which one can compare to the gratitude brought about by saving over 7,000 lives?

  Ye Huan suppressed his excitement and retracted the Wind Wing from his muscles, looking around, "Everyone, it's not time to celebrate yet. Who saw that red wolfman leader? And... Adolph?"
