Chapter 459 Wolf Warrior
“What bad luck!”

Juan Nujia stamped his feet and said:

"Why would the Han Dynasty send such an unreliable young man to be the governor?"

After watching Su Yao and his group disappear into the dense forest, Junnuga finally couldn't help but complain.

In his opinion, this journey was not only dangerous, but also a road to death.

That young man from the Central Plains, with his rosy lips and white teeth, his crazy and bossy look, is probably a playboy who got the position of prefect by relying on his ancestors' abilities.

This guy, I'm afraid, is here to brush up his qualifications and prove himself to his superiors by making some big news.

This was understandable to him. After all, if he could accomplish something that all the previous governors had failed to do, he would surely gain both fame and fortune.

However, nature will not give you that convenience just because you are born into a noble family.

"That's what my father said."

The second son of Junnujia's eyes flickered:
"If those Han people died, then so be it. The only pity is Brother Wuluga and the more than 30 skilled hunters he brought with him."

"I don't know how many of them will come back in the end. It's really heartbreaking."

As if in response to their words, suddenly, a low howl came from the depths of the dense forest in the distance.

"Ouch——"

"Ouch——"

"Ouch——"

The low howls echoed in the forest, and the faces of the big man and the Goguryeo coalition forces, who had just entered the woods, turned green in an instant.

"Wolves, it's a wolf pack!"

"Be on guard, be on guard!"

Wuluga's voice was trembling, while Song Xian and Hou Cheng were shouting loudly.

They gripped their swords, spears, and halberds tightly in their hands, raised their shields, and looked around vigilantly.

In the dark depths of the forest, the light gradually became thinner, as if being swallowed up by the layers of treetops, leaving only mottled shadows dancing on the ground.

The wind blew through the treetops, sometimes softly, sometimes wildly, bringing with it the howling of wolves in the distance, echoing around them like ghosts.

This strange sight of hearing the wolf's cry but not seeing its shadow set off alarm bells in the hearts of the alert people. Some of them even had trembling legs. Wuruga's face was as pale as paper. He gritted his teeth and scanned the team. Finally, his eyes fell on Su Yao. He stamped his feet and said loudly:

"Sir, this forest is extremely dangerous. Although the howling of the wolves has faded away, it is just a warning from them. If we continue to go deeper and anger them, I am afraid something bad will happen."

Song Xian also quickly echoed:

"Yes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. We cannot take any risks."

"The difficulties in the forest here are far different than we initially imagined."

"From the sound, there are probably hundreds or even thousands of wolves roaming around."

"If it's a fight between two armies, with life and death decided by fate, our warriors won't say a word."

"But it's really not worth it to die here, being besieged by a group of beasts!"

There was a hint of reluctance and helplessness in Song Xian's words. He looked around and saw tension and fear written all over the faces of every soldier. Obviously, the horror of this primeval forest had far exceeded their expectations.

Su Yao was silent for a moment, looking deeply into the depths of the forest.

On his map, the surrounding explored areas were densely packed with red dots, and they were increasing in number.

The wolf howls seemed to be not only a warning, but also a signal for the wolf pack to call their companions.

Thousands of wolves are gathering.

Su Yao naturally knew the danger.
"I led you to destroy the Xiongnu, defeat the Xianbei, and pacify the Wuhuan and domestic rebels."

"Those grassland overlords and usurping pseudo-kings are no match for us."

"Now, these are just wild dogs in the forest, can they scare us warriors who have fought many battles?"

Su Yao's voice was not loud, but every word was sonorous and powerful, as if he had an invisible power.

Scenes of past battles surrounded by countless enemies came to mind, and many soldiers had a flash of shame in their eyes.

Song Xian and Hou Cheng looked at each other and knew that Su Yao had made up his mind and his will could not be shaken, so they had to adjust their mentality and shouted in response:

"Lord Su is right. As great warriors of the Han Dynasty, how can we be overwhelmed by a mere pack of wolves?"

Song Xian raised his arms and shouted, trying to muster up his energy:

"We are willing to fight to the death with you, my Lord, to overcome the difficulties together, to kill the wolves and to enhance our military prestige!"

"Yes! Let's face the difficulties together and kill the wolves!" Hou Cheng and others also responded. They gripped their weapons tightly, and their eyes were filled with a resolute fighting spirit.

Su Yao nodded with satisfaction and ordered:
"All troops, listen up and maintain formation. Song Xian will lead the sword and shield soldiers in front, Hou Cheng will lead the spearmen in the back, and Wulujia and your hunters will be alert in the formation. All troops must advance in an orderly manner and be careful and cautious."

"If a wolf pack attacks, follow my orders!"

"The general will get the order!"

The Han soldiers responded one after another, and Wuruga was helpless. He could only close his eyes and pray silently to the gods after agreeing.

The team set off again. Although the howling of wolves still echoed around them, the atmosphere in the team was much better than before.

Su Yao waved the long sword in his hand, cutting through the thorns and brambles to clear a way for the team in the dense forest, and his figure greatly boosted everyone's morale.

Following Su Yao's footsteps, the team moved forward slowly in the dense forest, taking every step with extreme caution.

The sword and shield soldiers led by Song Xian were like a solid wall of steel. They wore armor and closely guarded the periphery of the team. Their shields shone with a cold metallic luster under the dim light.

The spearmen led by Hou Cheng followed closely behind, their spears and halberds like a forest, ready to disembowel the wolves at any time.

The Goguryeo hunters led by Wuluga were like hunters hiding in the dark. They walked quietly in the center of the team, their fingers lightly on the bowstrings, waiting for the appearance of prey with sharp eyes, ready to shoot deadly arrows at any time.

As time went by, the light in the forest grew dimmer and the air around them seemed to grow heavier.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps and low growls broke the silence of the forest. After the warning was ineffective, the wolves finally launched an attack.

"Array up!"

At Su Yao's command, the team quickly took action according to the previous deployment.

The sword and shield soldiers maintained the defense line, protecting the spearmen and hunters behind them. The spearmen held up their spears and were ready for battle. The Goguryeo hunters quickly put arrows on the strings and aimed at the rushing wolves.

A hissing sound.

Su Yao took the initiative and shot an arrow through the head of a wolf with great force, and also hit another one behind it.

The two wolves fell down immediately, and Su Yao's arrows were like whistling arrows, announcing the start of the battle.

Goguryeo hunters shot arrows at the wolves like raindrops.

The hungry wolves that were rushing in the front were shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another, howling one after another.

However, the wolves did not retreat under such a blow. Instead, they seemed to be inspired to be even more savage by the blood and death, and continued to pounce madly on the coalition team.

The bloody battle started instantly.

Su Yao shouted loudly, brandished his two swords and jumped into the wolf pack, his swords slashed down, stirring up a bloody storm:
"Kill all these beasts!"
