The Dragon Girl would never like the Lord.

The expressions, demeanor, and overall presence of everyone have undergone a significant transformation.

Each of them had a resolute gaze and a solemn expression. Coupled with their gleaming armor, they were clearly true holy knights.

No one will question it.

Given their current state, they could easily take on two out of three other lords who were just greenhorns, and they would even have a significant advantage in terms of sheer force of presence.

If Ron and Fria charge in, as long as the number of enemies isn't too large, they'll be routed in no time.

High intelligence is an advantage for humans, but it can also sometimes become a disadvantage.

If casualties are too high, morale will be greatly reduced, and even a rout may occur.

Therefore, Ron believed that the quality of soldiers was more important than their quantity.

With elite troops and skilled generals, even against an enemy several times their size, they will be unstoppable.

Soon, the group arrived at the outer edge of the Misty Forest.

"My lord, no danger has been found in the vicinity. We may proceed with the logging."

Shemiel had been sniffing out scents all the way to avoid the appearance of enemies. She had already begun scouting back at the border of the valley.

She was worried that at night, some alien races might sneak into this location and cause trouble for Fiona or the territory.

But they haven't detected any signs of foreign races these past few days.

Of course, the alien races are not desperate people; on the contrary, they value their lives even more and are even less likely to do dangerous things.

Knowing to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, they choose simpler prey to hunt.

Because lone wolf tribes that didn't do this basically didn't last long and were all wiped out.

The rest are cunning, dangerous-avoiding foreigners.

This is why, when Ron finished clearing the two orc caves, most of the alien races immediately moved away from the area, choosing to go deeper or relocate to places hundreds of kilometers away.

Some of the bolder ones, seeing Ron start a fight and begin searching the next day, became frightened and began to flee.

"Alright, leave two people to guard the lumberjacks, the rest of you follow me into the Misty Forest."

Ron nodded upon hearing this, then mounted his warhorse and led the Holy Knights toward the Misty Forest.

They encountered no danger along the way, but also no opportunities, because this area had been thoroughly searched several times, and basically all the good stuff had been spotted and picked by Shemir.

However, this time we will venture deep into the Misty Forest, to a place we've never been before.

"My lord, about thirty kilometers ahead, we have detected the scent of the Ice Wolf Clan, and it is almost identical to the location we detected yesterday."

Shemier thought that her tribesmen must have gone out hunting, which was why they left the territory.

What should I do? I'm about to return to my tribe and see my people.

What will they think of me? Will they think I'm too easy...?

I feel so bad~

At this moment, Shemir was conflicted, feeling both joy and excitement at the prospect of seeing her tribesmen whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

They were also filled with worries and anxieties, fearing being disliked, misunderstood, or even expelled by the clan leader.

She would be very sad if that were the case.

Because wolves, like humans, have a sense of belonging to their pack and family and do not want to completely sever themselves from this relationship.

Muses was in the same boat, torn between wanting to see his familiar friends but also fearing they wouldn't recognize him.

This is a very normal emotion.

They fear that if they submit to humans and become their subordinates, they will be discriminated against and unwelcome.

"Understood. You lead the way and notify us immediately if anything happens."

Upon hearing this, Ron nodded in satisfaction, already looking forward to meeting the Ice Wolves of the Ice Wolf Clan.

Once you encounter them, you can gradually get to know them and eventually subdue them all.

"Yes, my lord~"

Shemier nodded and then ran at the front of the group to lead the way, with Muses walking side by side with his mother.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, then ran off.

They both saw unwavering conviction in each other's eyes.

Everyone hopes to see their former friends again...

Seeing their expressions and hearing their conversation, Fria felt a strange sensation.

She wondered for some reason whether this man would also take her back to his tribe, and whether he would take Oville and Lucia with him.

If that's the case, I'd be so happy.

However, it's absolutely impossible for this damned human to subdue the dragon tribe.

The proud dragon race will never submit to humans.

If he dares to go to my tribe, then I will make him my slave and take him back to my tribe.

That's more like it...

Misty Forest!

Beside a sparsely wooded shrub, a pack of ice wolves sat on the grass, enjoying large chunks of elk heart.

Each of them took a piece of their heart and liver, put it in their mouths, and ate with great relish.

"Chief, Chief, I think I can smell the scent of Shemir and Muses."

Just then, an ice wolf standing on high ground, keeping watch, walked with a troubled expression to the side of an ice wolf girl with snow-white fur, bent down, and respectfully reported the news.

These words drew surprised, delighted, and incredulous glances from the ice wolves present.

Because all the wolves believed that since Shemir and Muses had been missing for so long and their scent had disappeared, they must have already perished.

I never expected to smell their scent again.

"In what direction?"

Upon hearing this news, the clan leader, Shyvana, spoke calmly.

Actually, she was also pleasantly surprised, but she never showed her emotions and always had a cold face.

"Less than twenty kilometers to the southeast, and there are other smells too—the smell of horses, other demi-human races, and humans..."

The ice wolf who provided the information then lowered his head, revealing a helpless expression.

hiss....

These words made the ice wolves present shrink their pupils and immediately become alert.

This could very well mean that an enemy has appeared.

"In other words, Muses and Shemir have probably been tamed by humans and are now finding their way back by following their scent."

Shyvana's eyes narrowed instantly upon hearing the news, immediately recalling the despair that had gripped the wolf.

"Then, what should we do?"

"No way, Shemier isn't suited to do this kind of thing."

“Yes, how could Shemir betray us?”

"If it's true, should we flee back to our tribe's territory?"

Upon hearing this, the little wolves started to panic, each offering their own opinion.

This is normal, after all, the ice wolves have heard since they were young that humans are evil, cruel, and eat wolf cubs.

Humans are a childhood nightmare for many ice wolves; none of them want to encounter this evil race.

"It's no use. Shemier has a very keen sense of smell and is heading this way now."

Shyvana calmly stated these words, then waved her hand and gave the order:

"All wolves have only five minutes to eat. After five minutes, they will form a battle formation and prepare for battle."

She was like an emotionless machine, continuing to devour the deer's heart.

His eyes were cold, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Upon hearing this news, the ice wolves could no longer eat. Most of them relaxed, began wiping away the blood, and prepared to fight.

However, not a single ice wolf retreated. All the wolves obeyed the alpha wolf's orders. As long as Shyvana did not give the order to retreat, they would continue fighting even if only one wolf remained.

This is the loyal, fearless, and courageous Ice Wolf Clan...

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and the scorching sunlight pierced through the clouds, but could not penetrate the mist that lingered above the Misty Forest.

Of the full amount of sunlight, only one or two-tenths can reach the vegetation and provide light energy.
