"Did the Ice Wolf Division launch a surprise attack?" Yu Su asked.
Yu Meng coldly snorted, "They came after you left, more than six hundred of them."
Yu Su asked, "What about those people? Did you guys get hurt?"
Yu Meng replied, "A few of us got some minor injuries, but Yu Zhu bandaged them up, no big problem. Of the more than six hundred people, aside from those who died, more than four hundred were captured and are now being held together with the twenty members of the Ice Wolf Division."
Yu Su said, "Let's go take a look."
...
After being busy on the icefield for a while, it was already late in the day, so Yu Su decided to rest overnight in the same spot and head to the Ice Wolf Division the next day.
During the night, the little wolf cub slept in Yu Su's tent. It was quiet at first, but in the middle of the night, it suddenly woke up and started howling.
Yu Su and Lu Yan were awakened. "What's wrong with it?"
Lu Yan said, "It's looking in the direction of the icefield. Something might have happened there."
Yu Su picked up the little wolf cub and walked out of the tent.
They noticed that Jian Yunchuan and the others were also awake, poking their heads out of the tent to look.
"Why is this cub howling? Is it hungry?"
"Something might have happened on the icefield. I'll go take a look."
Yu Su and Lu Yan flew on their swords towards the depths of the icefield. Guided by the little wolf cub, they found a large group of icefield wolves heading towards the northwest edge of the icefield.
Yu Su immediately understood.
These icefield wolves were carrying their families, they seemed to be leaving the icefield.
The little wolf cub continued to howl, and the wolf pack turned their heads and howled back at it.
Yu Su flew over with the little wolf cub and landed among the wolf pack, letting the little wolf cub down.
The wolf pack gathered around, each one touching noses with the little wolf cub.
The little wolf cub whimpered, looking somewhat melancholic.
After bidding farewell to the little wolf cub and the others, Yu Su looked at the current leader of the wolf pack and asked, "Are you going to find a new icefield?"
With the icefield about to melt, these icefield wolves would be the first to know.
If it weren't for Yu Su saving the wolf pack and the young wolf king, along with his act of taking the Ice Pearl, he would have undoubtedly faced an attack from the icefield wolves.
Afterward, the wolf pack continued to head north.
They didn't know when they would meet again.
The leader of the wolf pack looked at the visibly much better little wolf king and howled at Yu Su. Though Yu Su couldn't understand exactly what it was saying, he could guess the general meaning.
It wanted him to take good care of the little wolf king.
The little wolf cub watched the wolf pack leave with reluctance, whimpering softly.
Yu Su gently stroked its fur, watching alongside it as the wolf pack disappeared.
...
The next day, after everyone finished breakfast, they packed up their tents and other belongings and headed towards the Ice Wolf Division with a group of captives.
The Ice Wolf Division's ambush attempts had failed twice, and they knew that the people from Yu City were not to be messed with. They didn't set up ambushes along the road anymore but instead gathered their forces and intercepted Yu City's team.
Yu Su raised an eyebrow. "Perfect timing, saves me the effort."
Yu Meng snapped his fingers energetically. "Yu Su, leave these people to us, you just sit back and watch."
Yu Su replied, "Alright."
Yu Meng also told Jian Yunchuan and Lu Yan not to take action and let him handle it.
Jian Yunchuan and Lu Yan didn't move, watching him charge forward with his men.
Yumeng raised his arm and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and kill them all, leave no one alive!"
The leader of the opposing Ice Wolf Tribe was a tall young man. Seeing Yumeng leading hundreds of people charging towards them, he laughed and said, "I thought the people of Yucheng were formidable, turns out they're just a bunch of idiots. With just you guys, you think you can defeat the warriors of the Ice Wolf Tribe? What a joke."
"Young master, let us go defeat them," a burly man next to the young man said.
The young man nodded and pointed at Yumeng and his group, saying, "Capture them all!"
The people from the Ice Wolf Tribe also charged forward.
However, what they thought would be an easy victory turned out to be unexpected.
The Ice Wolf Tribe's thousands of warriors were actually unable to defeat the few hundred people from Yucheng. One by one, they were devastated and fell to the ground. Taking a closer look, Yumeng and his people were able to manipulate the earth, water, and trees. They were no ordinary humans!
The people of the Ice Wolf Tribe were shocked by this scene!
"Quick, go and fetch the witch doctor!" The young leader of the Ice Wolf Tribe, who was quite young, was quick to react and ordered someone to fetch the witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe.
The witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe hurriedly arrived and saw Yumeng and his people wielding weapons and striking with a terrifying aura. One glimpse was enough to make an Ice Wolf Tribe warrior fall to the ground.
Looking at the terrifying vines and ice blades filling the battlefield, the witch doctor's face also changed.
"The rumors are true!" The witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe said in a hurry.
"What rumors?" The young leader of the Ice Wolf Tribe asked.
The witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe said, "There are rumors that there are living deities in Yucheng, and the warriors of Yucheng possess divine power bestowed upon them by the deities. They can manipulate fire, water, earth, and trees, making them unbeatable by ordinary people."
By this time, most of the Ice Wolf Tribe warriors on the battlefield had been dealt with, and the remaining ones were frightened and retreated, unwilling to confront the people of Yucheng head-on.
The witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe shouted, "Retreat, retreat!"
The Ice Wolf Tribe warriors had long been terrified, so when they heard the command, they quickly fled backwards.
How could Yumeng let them escape? He intentionally played a cat-and-mouse game, chasing them for a while, before placing his hands on the ground and shouting. Suddenly, a tall earth wall rose up in front of them, blocking the Ice Wolf Tribe's path.
"Capture them all!"
...
After two hours of battle, the Ice Wolf Tribe was defeated.
Yumeng and his people captured the young leader and the witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe, binding them tightly and bringing them to face Yu Su.
The High Priest?
The young leader and the witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe looked up at Yu Su and saw an exceptionally handsome youth standing before them, dressed elegantly and exuding a noble aura. He even held a wolf cub in his arms, and on the cub's forehead was a tuft of blue fur in the shape of ice flames.
The young leader and the witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe instantly recognized what the mark represented. It was the blue mark that only the Wolf God had!
They didn't know whether to be amazed by the presence of the Wolf God or afraid of encountering the High Priest of Yucheng.
Yu Su could tell from their expressions that they had recognized the identity of the wolf cub. He deliberately frightened them, saying, "As followers of the Wolf God, you have harmed his friends and will surely face punishment from the divine beings."
The wolf cub also let out a howl, standing on its hind legs on Yu Su's arm, looking down at the young leader and the witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe with a superior gaze.
Both of them turned pale.
The witch doctor of the Ice Wolf Tribe prostrated himself deeply before the wolf cub and said, "Wolf God above, please forgive our sins."
The previously arrogant young leader of the Ice Wolf Tribe was no longer arrogant. He looked at the wolf cub with fear and said, "Please forgive our sins, Wolf God. Everything we did was ordered by Fengcheng. If we had known that these people were your friends, we would never have obstructed them."
Yu Su rubbed the head of the wolf cub and couldn't help but find it cute.
The wolf cub howled a few times, as if reproaching the two of them.
Both of them shrank in fear.
Yu Su cleared his throat and looked down at the wolf cub, asking, "Little Wolf King, how do you plan to deal with them?"
The wolf cub looked up at him, then suddenly tilted its head to the side, as if asking, "?".
Yu Su's heart melted a little.
Yumeng: "Just kill them all."
This statement scared the people of the Ice Wolf Tribe.
A group of people knelt on the ground, continuously begging for the forgiveness of the Wolf God.
The young wolf cub just looked at Yu Su, clearly waiting for Yu Su's decision.
Yu Su glanced at the group of Ice Wolf Tribe members, causing them to tremble in fear. Just when they were all worried that they might lose their lives today, Yu Su said, "The Little Wolf King wants you to submit to the City of Yu in the future. If you submit to the City of Yu, I will spare your lives."
The Ice Wolf Tribe shaman lay on the ground, bowing his head and said, "We all listen to the Wolf God. From today onwards, we will submit to the City of Yu."
The shaman knew very well that it wasn't the Wolf God who had harmed them today; it was the people from the City of Yu who had completely incapacitated them. Their lives were in the hands of the people from the City of Yu.
Now the Wolf God was so obediently held in the embrace of the High Priest of the City of Yu, clearly indicating an extraordinary relationship. No, it should be said that this High Priest of the City of Yu was very extraordinary, actually subduing even the Wolf God.
What reason did they have not to obey the City of Yu?
Was it really necessary for all the remaining people to be slaughtered?
As for Fengcheng, it was too far away. Even if Fengcheng was willing to save them, it would be too late. Furthermore, Fengcheng didn't really care about them; it was impossible for them to come and rescue them.
Since the shaman had expressed his position, the others naturally didn't dare not express their position. They all expressed their willingness to submit to the City of Yu.
Yu Su said, "Swear to your Wolf God and the deities of the City of Yu. If you violate your oath, you will face the punishment of the deities."
The Ice Wolf Tribe shaman lifted his head slightly and glanced at Yu Su, gritting his teeth and said, "On behalf of the Ice Wolf Tribe, I swear that from today onwards, the Ice Wolf Tribe will submit to the City of Yu. If we violate our oath, we are willing to accept the punishment of the Wolf God and the deities of the City of Yu."
Just swear if they have to, as long as they can save their lives.
Moreover, based on the current situation, the City of Yu was obviously much stronger than Fengcheng. It was hard to say who would win in the struggle between the City of Yu and Fengcheng. Perhaps joining the City of Yu wouldn't be a bad move after all.
Yu Su held a mystic gesture in his hand, and after the shaman of the Ice Wolf Tribe finished speaking, a sparkle of light floated into the consciousness of both the shaman and the young master of the Ice Wolf Tribe.
This oath was not to be taken lightly.
The two of them seemed to have sensed something, trembling all over, becoming even more afraid.
Jian Yunchuan, who was watching from the side, shook his head, thinking that he had thought the Ice Wolf Tribe had a strong backbone, but it seemed that they were not as impressive as rumored.
After resolving the people of the Ice Wolf Tribe, Yu Su ordered his men to clean up the battlefield, and the main force headed towards the Ice Wolf Tribe.
The young master of the Ice Wolf Tribe and his men returned to the Ice Wolf Tribe first, preparing to welcome the arrival of Yu Su and to inform the leader of the Ice Wolf Tribe in advance, so as to avoid any clashes with Yu Su and his men.
