Chapter 214 Battle Summary Meeting
Seeing that the Qi Condensation disciples had already fled, and that the wolves had also killed seven or eight Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators during this period, the Nine Yang Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators began to quickly withdraw from the battlefield. The Demon Cultivators, all wounded and wary of the wolves, did not dare to pursue them too closely.
"Combined attack!" Liu Xing commanded, and the wolves quickly took their positions. The Yin-Yang Bagua formation flags had already been activated, and the power quickly transmitted to Liu Xing, who unleashed a punch. With a punch no less powerful than an early Jindan cultivator's, he struck the black-robed Jindan cultivator, who was battling with Elder Zhou. Caught off guard, the black-robed Jindan cultivator hastily defended himself and was sent flying, sustaining serious injuries. Elder Zhou was overjoyed. He was already at a disadvantage, anxious about how to escape safely. The wolf pack's combined attack technique could actually counter the Jindan cultivator, bringing him another surprise. He seized the opportunity and retreated from the battlefield.
After sending Black Robe Jindan flying, the wolves quickly disengaged from the battlefield and retreated into the distance. Once everyone had evacuated the mining area, Liu Xing crushed the jade pendant with his own force. A deafening roar echoed through the mine, and a mushroom cloud of dust rose into the sky, destroying the spirit stone mine. Caught off guard, a dozen or so demon cultivators with low or severely injured cultivation perished. Black Robe Jindan, who had intended to pursue with his Foundation Establishment cultivators, was forced back by the explosion and forced to protect himself. This delay allowed the Nine Yang Sect disciples to escape.
The black-robed old man gnashed his teeth in anger. This time, he hadn't gotten what he wanted, but had lost the rice. While the enemy hadn't lost a single life, he had suffered heavy casualties, with everyone injured. The mine was now destroyed, and rebuilding would take six months. For the sake of strategic materials, he couldn't abandon this vein.
Putting aside the demon cultivators' indignation, Elder Zhou was incredibly happy. This time, they had surpassed expectations in their mission, escaping unscathed and killing and wounding so many enemies. This battle was truly a brilliant one. When the news of their victory reached headquarters, everyone was deeply encouraged, and everyone remembered the Wolf Pack squad.
After the Nine Yang Sect disciples had safely evacuated, the wolves immediately turned and flew off into the distance, disappearing without a trace. Elder Zhou lamented, not even having the chance to greet them or express gratitude.
Liu Xing led the wolf pack into the deep mountains, hundreds of miles away, and hid there. They set up a concealment formation and began meditating to restore their mana. Afterward, Liu Xing convened a debriefing meeting to discuss the mission's strengths and weaknesses. While others considered it a near-perfect accomplishment, Liu Xing discovered numerous issues. He also had the team members gather together to review and brainstorm, primarily to instill in everyone the values of neither arrogance in victory nor discouragement in defeat.
"Let's summarize the advantages and disadvantages of this battle to avoid making mistakes next time. Everyone is welcome to express their opinions freely." Liu Xing pulled everyone to sit in a circle and organize a meeting.
"I think the key to our victory this time was that Wolf Warrior stumbled upon a spy and used him to decisively switch to Plan B. So, the key is adaptability. The same question arises: if we hadn't stumbled upon this spy and had continued with Plan A, what would have happened?" Wolf Four seemed to have already given this some thought, so he spoke first. Liu Xing nodded in praise; he liked people who were good at thinking.
"Lang Si said it very well. We can continue to discuss it along this line of thought." Liu Xing praised Lang Si and encouraged everyone to continue digging deeper.
"That's right. If we hadn't discovered the spy and had carried out plan A, directly meeting the guards and asking them to help set up the formation, we would have been exposed. The spy would have passed on the news of our arrival to the enemy, and we would have been targeted. For example, they could have sent in an additional Jindan senior. Not only would we have failed to complete the mission, we might have also faced a life-or-death crisis." After receiving the reminder, Wolf Five quickly added, and everyone was terrified after hearing it.
"This spy is our success and our failure. We can't be so lucky every time." Lang Jiu continued.
"We should have a plan to prevent spies to avoid encountering this kind of problem in the future," Lang Ba added.
"For example, try not to show up, or at least let only a small number of people show up as representatives, so that the enemy is always in the open and we are in the dark. This way, we can face various crises calmly." Wolf Three suggested.
"That's right. Only by hiding in the dark and catching the enemy off guard can we achieve the effect of a surprise attack and victory." Lang Qi also agreed.
"Also, we can't fully trust our allies. Their situation is even more complicated. This time the demon army is very aggressive, and we are losing ground, which makes it easier for spies to breed." Wolf Six also expressed his opinion.
"Our wolf pack has already achieved such an impressive performance on our first mission. I'm sure both the allies and the enemy are taking notice. We must be even more cautious on future missions." Wolf Two also spoke, and everyone nodded in agreement. From then on, everyone lost their gloating over their victory, only a sense of vigilance for future missions.
"There's another problem. When we were attacking the enemy's Foundation Establishment cultivators, everyone's killer moves were focused on one person each. The drawback is that they're easily blocked, preventing a one-hit kill. In future battles, we can form teams of three, with one person focusing on defense and the other two on attack, attacking one person simultaneously. This way, we can kill the enemy with one strike, or at least severely injure them, thus achieving crucial results." Lang Yi's combat talent was truly astonishing, even coming up with the advanced "Three Talents Formation" tactic. Liu Xing gave him another look of admiration. Previously, time was tight, and Liu Xing hadn't had time to train everyone in cooperative tactics. Now, Lang Yi had learned from practical experience that he was truly gifted.
"Wolf One's suggestion is good. We can train it later and form a three-person formation with two attackers and one defender taking turns." Wolf Four's eyes lit up and he instantly understood the many advantages of this. He praised it highly and suggested training it later.
Others pointed out that the final attack using the Yin-Yang Bagua Formation against an early-stage Jindan enemy had many flaws and excessive mana loss. Everyone weighed in, and while the battle was initially a victory, they identified numerous issues and shortcomings, and also came up with numerous solutions. Liu Xing was deeply pleased with the lively discussion, and he decided to hold a similar summary meeting after every battle.
"Let me make a final summary: first, we must pay more attention to confidentiality in future missions; second, we must be wary of our allies becoming useless teammates and dragging us down; third, we must immediately begin training on the Three Talents Formation." Seeing that everyone had almost finished the discussion, Liu Xing made a final summary speech. He only guided the discussion throughout and did not express too many opinions, in order to stimulate the subjective initiative of his teammates.
