"Raise shields." Ye Shikai personally held a shield, came to the front, and together with a dozen shield soldiers, tightly blocked the entrance of the cave, preventing the robbers from throwing more fire sources inside. He also ordered the soldiers behind to extinguish the torches already thrown in with sand. Although there was no open flame, thick smoke still flooded the cave, suffocating everyone.
Ye Shikai looked outside through the gaps between the shields. The robbers, seeing they couldn't throw torches inside, charged back, aiming to break through the shield formation.
"Break the shield formation, prepare spears."
When the robbers were five steps away, Ye Shikai shouted. The soldiers behind, eager to act, broke the formation, thrusting out a dozen long spears. The charging robbers were immediately pierced, leaving multiple bloody holes on their bodies.
Ye Shikai took out a bronze sword, stabbing powerfully through a gap between shields, and ended a robber.
