Squadrons of wolf cavalry, led by their respective generals, began to converge around Temujin.
Temujin looked around, relieved to see no significant casualties.
"Fifty thousand wolf cavalry of Platinum rank and above, form the Hai Zi formation and slowly chip away at the skeleton soldiers. Lure the enemy to the ambush site of the second army group. The rest will escort the bodies of the fallen and retreat."
Temujin's brother, Khasar, looked at Temujin and said:
"Big brother, you should go. I'll stay behind with the lads and have some fun with them."
Bo'erzhijin Zhuochi Khasar was also a heroic figure among the grassland kings. He was a high-ranking king, and just moments ago, during a battle with the lich king, he had single-handedly shot down two lich kings.
His strength ranked among the best of the grassland kings.
Temujin knew his brother was skilled and eager to fight, so he nodded. He then addressed the other kings:
"Jeb, Subutai, Kublai, Ogedai, the four of you will stay with Khasar. You don't need to fight to the death; just lure them over."
"If we encounter cowards, there's no need to lure them. The Marshal letting us attack early is just an excuse."
"Yes, Great Khan."
Temujin nodded and, with the remaining grassland kings and 4.5 million wolf cavalry, set off towards the Dead Man's Canyon.
Khasar and the others exchanged glances and said with a sly grin, "Brothers, let's take a break. We'll make our move after those underdeveloped bone frames cross the sea of fire."
Jeb, with a lecherous look, took out a large spatial bag and produced a Number 1 bomb, showing it to everyone.
"Brothers, come and see, I have a good treasure here."
Khasar and the others took the Number 1 bomb, their eyes full of curiosity. "This thing is good. Where did you get it, and how many do you have?"
Jeb shook the spatial bag. "One million five hundred thousand Number 1 bombs. The Minister of Logistics, Hao Ming, gave them to me when we departed, specifically telling me I could use them when covering the rear."
The men were stunned. Khasar shook his head with a wry smile. "These kids are becoming too clever. They've even planned for our retreat. No wonder they gave it to Jeb."
Jeb paused, then nodded.
"When Hao Ming gave me this spatial bag, he also said, 'Old Ancestor Jeb, although you are skilled at archery, the Deathless's hellfire projectiles are also very dangerous. This will provide some insurance.'"
"Now I realize those words weren't said casually but were calculated, knowing that the Great Khan would surely assign me to cover the rear. This is also a contingency for the soldiers."
Khasar thought carefully and said, "Jeb, your eyesight is good. Go quickly and see if there are any fast-moving undead or summoned beasts among the skeletons or lich coalition."
Jeb and the others were startled, then immediately understood. They handed the spatial bag to Ogedai.
"Subutai, you come with me. Ogedai, distribute the bombs to the soldiers."
The wolf cavalry's greatest advantage was their speed, along with the grassland warriors' powerful bows and crossbows.
If there were any fast units among the liches, they could entangle the wolf cavalry when they charged. With the terrifying numbers of the skeleton horde, they could easily wipe out these 500,000 elite wolf riders.
The million and a half Number 1 bombs given by the little Taoist priest, with their powerful explosive force and impact, would instantly eliminate any pursuing enemies, giving the wolf cavalry time to create distance.
This was also what caused the kings, who had never considered this aspect, to feel a sense of dread. If these 500,000 elite wolf cavalry were annihilated.
Even if Lin Zhan didn't punish them according to military law, they would have taken their own lives with their swords.
As expected, after a short while, Jeb and Subutai returned.
"Damn, our little Minister of Logistics is truly miraculous. There are a group of skeleton cavalry in the skeleton horde. How can these things, which are just bone frames, still ride horses? The most unscientific thing is that the horses are also bone frames!"
Khasar rolled his eyes at Jeb and said irritably, "Scientific? You big oaf, you're always playing with that broken slingshot, what do you know about science? Besides, we're fighting against bone frames, what science is there to talk about? Just fight!"
Khasar watched as the skeleton cavalry crossed the sea of fire created by the aerial bombs and immediately shouted loudly to the wolf cavalry:
"Lads, it's time to work! Don't let those bone frames get past us, or we'll have no face to see anyone later!"
"Awoo..."
"Awoo..."
"Awoo..."
Howls of wolves continuously echoed. The grassland warriors remounted their direwolves, drew their longbows, and charged towards the skeleton cavalry.
The wolf cavalry formed a fan shape, encircling the skeleton cavalry in front of them.
The vanguard wolf cavalry lowered their visors, wielding wolf-tooth clubs or flails, and began a merciless slaughter of the skeleton cavalry, whose average level was only Gold early stage.
The wolf cavalry on the flanks held longbows and continuously harassed and shot down the skeleton soldiers in the rear and on the sides.
This prevented the two enemy forces from merging and ensured that the engaged wolf cavalry would not be trapped by too many enemies and unable to escape in a short period.
Khasar, along with the other five kings, led the charge, their wolf-tooth clubs and curved sabers constantly striking the white skulls of the skeleton soldiers.
While hacking and slashing, Khasar said, "The Lich Emperor has truly scared our ancestors. We've already killed nearly a hundred million of their army, yet they don't even dare to show their faces."
Jeb chuckled and, relying on his good eyesight, looked up at the sky.
"Look up. The Great Marshal's seven old ancestors are waiting here. Judging by the situation, if the Lich Emperor dares to come out, with their fifteen or sixteen people, they will all be dealt with by these old ancestors."
Seeing that the skeleton soldiers surrounding them from the rear were becoming more numerous, Khasar said to the kings:
"Old friends, it's time for us to retreat, or our lads will suffer casualties. The Marshal said that every warrior of our human race is a treasure!"
The kings nodded, and then let out continuous long cries.
Hearing the kings' summons, the wolf cavalry finished dealing with their respective opponents and converged towards the five of them.
Jeb looked at the gathered wolf cavalry with a sly grin and shouted loudly:
"Lads, don't be in a hurry, wait for these bone sticks. Get the thunderclaps the little minister gave us ready. We'll give them a bang later."
"Hahaha." The rough grassland warriors burst into laughter.
However, they also formed a retreat formation to prevent any enemies from taking the opportunity to charge forward.
When the skeleton soldiers staggered to within 300 meters of the wolf cavalry, Jeb let out a long cry. Five hundred thousand Number 1 bombs scattered like a shower of flower petals into the middle of the skeleton soldiers.
Violent explosions rang out, instantly clearing the charging skeleton soldiers.
