Chapter 9

Vivian's black hair, slightly damp from her recent bath, exuded a charm that was as alluring as her moist red lips

The four little girls led by Marusia have also made considerable progress, and Mut specifically called them over

In addition to being able to use magic, the more troublesome aspect is the freezing breath, which requires no incantation and has no preparation time, yet is comparable to the freezing spell attacks of a sorcerer, making Fenrir even more difficult to deal with

At the beginning of the meeting, Noxiu first introduced the two new members, the sorcerer—Aimalik and the swordsman—Mu, and also briefly introduced the others to them

Compared to other professions, there are not many wizards on the continent of Huasite. It is said that innate talent is essential to become a wizard.

Eating a hearty meal until one is full is a joyful experience, but overeating can lead to great discomfort. Even more painful is the situation where one has overeaten yet still has to force more food down.

The length of the canyon is not extensive, but the terrain on both sides is extremely steep. If ambushed from either side, it can inflict significant damage on the enemies passing through.

It is inherently fierce and cunning, with senses that are much more acute than those of an ordinary wolf, allowing it to detect danger earlier.

"There are probably about eighty silver wolves!" Noxiu replied

His appetite is particularly large, and hardly any man can satisfy his hunger; most of the time, he only stops after gnawing the bones clean

However, the conversation between the two caused many people in the room to change their expressions

However, others have heard quite a bit about Fenrir from the past; they know that Fenrir is a monster that cannot be harmed by ordinary swords or magical attacks.

"A pack of wolves, approximately three hundred giant wolves," Noxiu replied

Upon hearing the words "weak and small," before Nox could speak, Galante coldly replied: "It is the Black Goat Mercenary Group"

He is getting older, and Vivian will not seek him out either

So biased

Philia despises Diane's promiscuous behavior, and Diane often mocks Philia. Their relationship is not good; if it were not for Rain's mediation, given Philia's temperament, they would have clashed long ago

Previously, they not only failed, but suffered a disastrous defeat. The two most important reasons were overconfidence and the failure to detect the existence of Fenrir in advance

While everyone believes that Noxiu's plan is quite good and should successfully eliminate the wolf pack, there are some who do not share this view

"Oh dear! How can you say that? I am actually promoting your good deeds!" said Rain with righteous indignation.

As for the men, Noxiu has long had someone in his heart, and Weidian is powerless against him

Due to the escorting of the merchant caravan, the mercenaries took a detour and spent an additional day returning to the city of Aimeila

What kind of opponent are we really dealing with? The person who posed this question had a grave expression on their face

Mu secretly admired: (Luring the enemy deeper combined with three layers of ambush, truly a brilliant strategy. I did not expect the wolf pack from the West to be so formidable)

"No need to trouble yourself, I plan to go to hell in the future. If there's nothing else, please do not disturb my practice," Mu retorted.

The silver wolf is a standout among the giant wolves, possessing considerable resistance to magic and greater strength.

Several individuals, although they did not voice their agreement, nodded to indicate that they shared the same opinion

"Lein!" Mu interrupted his words with an elevated voice

As if by magic, a glass bottle filled with candy suddenly appeared in his hand, and then he placed a jar in each of the four people's hands

Just now, he was distracted by another matter; the expression on the face of the opposing magician seemed somewhat off, which struck him as strange

The words of Noxiu made those who had just settled down feel alert again

Therefore, in order to cultivate new talent, the old wizards often take turns exploring various places to discover children with magical potential

Just because of that sudden remark, several people turned their attention towards him.

After surveying the crowd, Noxiu asked, "Where is Vidiann? Hasn't he returned long ago?"

Thinking of this unexpected expense, Mu felt a headache coming on

Thirty thousand yuan from Sony could support a family for several years, yet it was suddenly spent on one woman

Due to the limited space within the tent, it becomes too crowded when all the staff members enter. Therefore, if there are no concerns regarding confidentiality, such meetings are typically held outdoors.

Noxiu and Galante stepped out of the tent and prepared to begin the meeting in the open space in front of the tent

As for Wenji's team, Mu did not have high hopes from the very beginning

Martial arts emphasize the simultaneous advancement of mind, skill, and body. Techniques and strength can be trained and developed, but the wisdom of martial arts requires time for refinement and the accumulation of experience, thus it should not be rushed at this moment

These insights were obtained by Noxiu from inquiries made to the wizards of the Black Goat Society. Upon hearing them, the officials felt a chill run down their spines; the tactics of the wolf pack were akin to those commanded by a battle-hardened general.

It is uncertain whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, but someone helped him quell the unrest in a manner that was difficult for Mu to accept

"Captain Vidiann, you are still so beautiful! Is there someone here that has caught your eye today?" said Rain in a somewhat joking tone.

Before the two had reached the commander’s tent, they had already seen several people sitting or standing there.

After the four of them bowed and expressed their gratitude together, they still felt it was not enough and each gave Mu a kiss on the cheek

Fenrir immediately lunged at another person, biting through his throat. The remaining two mages unleashed fireballs and wind blades in the fastest yet most mana-consuming manner, but they were evaded, resulting in injuries to their own warriors.

After receiving the candy, Marusia and the others first stared wide-eyed in astonishment, and then they cheered excitedly

No wonder some people appear relaxed after confirming their anticipated answers

Distinct features, charming expressions, and graceful movements all give the impression of a natural beauty

The magician and Mu are both newcomers and are not yet aware of Wei Dian's actions, so they do not understand the severity of the situation

During the explanation, Mu only mentioned using poisoned arrows to scare off the enemy, and Leine did not mention the name of Hitler's arrow at the time. Therefore, it seems that the pensive Noxiu did not inquire further about the matter.

At the outset, the mercenaries of the Black Goat Corps, upon discovering a pack of approximately two hundred wolves, ventured deep into the forest to pursue them. However, after being ambushed by the silver wolves, it devolved into a chaotic melee

"Who said that?" Mu asked curiously

After calculating the time, Noxiu made a decision, "Alright! How many people do you need? Everyone in the team is at your disposal."

After observing for a moment, Mu judged from the information he had heard before that the blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman speaking with Rain should be Philia. It is truly hard to imagine that someone with such a sweet and charming appearance could possess a fearsome and fierce personality

Afterwards, Mu and Xiukela discussed the matter, and Xiukela's statement was:

Is there something you need? You wouldn't come all this way just to mock me, would you

"These marks indicate the places that have been attacked by Fenrir. If arranged in order, it would be like this"

"Do you mean that you have a way to solve the problem of the odor?" Noxiu asked

"What! Fenrir." Several people could not help but exclaim.

By the time they finally left the forest, they had lost 40% of their troops, and most of the remaining soldiers were injured, leaving less than one-third of the entire unit's combat strength

Upon hearing Leah's explanation, some people sighed in relief, some remained silent, and others appeared to suddenly understand. However, the majority's reaction was: "What the heck! You gave us quite a scare."

"Well..." Noxiu was about to speak but stopped mid-sentence, for he had already seen a figure appear within his line of sight.

Only when Noxiu heard this answer did he recall that the plan had a fatal flaw

However, at that moment, Fenrir leaped out from the nearby tree and landed in the center of the formation

After concluding the matters at hand, Noxiu dismissed everyone and ended the meeting, then returned to the tent to reconsider the arrangements

The results, however, are even more ideal than expected; each female soldier has made some progress, but the overall enhancement of combat capability is far inferior to that of the Bizz team

"Galante!" replied Xiukela

This is a fact! ... Moreover, that woman also ...

Mu had heard about Wei Dian, but it was hard to imagine that such a beautiful and graceful lady would cause many men in the group to keep their distance.

They have four wizards, one of whom is of the Archmage level. It is surprising that such a group could fail; it seems that the situation is not as simple as it appears.

It should also be rewarded to us

There is a legend that originally there was a mountain range stretching over a hundred miles, and later a kind-hearted giant, in order to facilitate the passage for people on both sides, used an axe to carve out this canyon

The long skirt tied at the waist features high slits on both sides, revealing the two slender legs in a subtle manner, adding a unique charm.

There is no need to abandon the plan! Just make a few adjustments and it will be fine

After Noxiu explained the reasons, they all appeared deflated like a punctured ball. If the opponent had not been Fenrir, it could have been considered a rather perfect plan

Moreover, unlike the members of the Black Goat faction, our military composition is better suited to confront Fenrir and the Silver Wolf. More importantly, our preparations are more thorough than theirs

Hmm! Last time it was to eliminate a large band of thieves with several hundred members, but this time it's hard to say what it is. In any case, I'll know once I see the leader.

At this time, Noxiu had already returned, and Mu and Rein went together to report the details of the mission to the leader

What is the matter with us

In such circumstances, with such bold actions, it is no wonder that Vidiann has acquired that kind of notorious reputation

At the beginning of the meeting, Mu was completely out of the loop; he had never heard of the Black Goat group, and he did not understand how their failure was related to the Silver Wolf. It was not until Fenrir was mentioned that he first heard something he recognized.

Moreover, its leadership abilities are also quite strong, just as a renowned general trains and strengthens the soldiers under his command, the pack of wolves it leads will also become stronger under Fenrir's guidance

After Vidiann looked around, she sat down next to the new wizard. As she took her seat, her beautiful legs were revealed, causing some in the room to involuntarily swallow.

"Sister Le Yin, as a woman, one must always pay attention to her appearance in order to attract the desired partner," replied Wei Dian with a charming smile.

The sound of the spear falling from Wen Ji's hand became the only sound at the scene

Kashum, the deputy of Shebur, may appear to be an ordinary middle-aged man, but he is also a certified swordsman.

Mu saw that Vidiann was teasing him with her toes, which of course made him restless.

Finger sleeves can be used to assist in drawing the bowstring, preventing injury to the fingers

The real problem is that the leader of this pack of wolves is a Fenrir

If sufficient personnel are assigned to me, two days will be enough; if things go quickly, only a day and a half will be required

In contrast to the shock of others, Mu blurted out, "The Wolf King?"

During their practice, Biz and Powassan were startled and did not have time to dodge each other's guns, resulting in them knocking each other down

Except for Noxiu, Xiukela, Donier, Mu, and a magician, all the other men lowered their heads, as if afraid of being noticed by Widian

More importantly, since the appearance of this pack of wolves, more than a dozen villages and towns have been attacked, and combined with the failed expeditionary forces, hundreds of people have already lost their lives

Beiz's team has made considerable progress in formation and coordinated attacks, significantly enhancing their overall combat strength. They are currently no longer at a disadvantage against Shaflang and Badola's teams. As long as they further improve individual combat capabilities, they can become the most formidable team in the squad.

Those who remained engaged in lively discussions, with some speculating whether there would be another large-scale task, while others were discussing the matter of Mu spending 30,000 Sony.

Doniel's deputy captain is named Jerry, standing over seven feet tall (approximately 210 centimeters), making him the most robust individual in the group

Although I can eat it, having a feast every day would spoil my appetite; having it occasionally is quite nice.

Eastern armies do not employ female soldiers, and the sages have never mentioned how to handle soldiers when they act coy.

Observing the four little girls in their joyful exuberance, Mu's gaze softened. However, even after nearly a year in the West, he still found it difficult to adapt to the Western customs of hugging and kissing

"Why?" Many people are still unclear about the changes in Noxiu.

However, the large number of heavily armed troops ambushed on both sides may be detected before the wolf pack enters the canyon, and they might instead fall victim to a surprise attack from the wolves

After finishing his words, Noxiu spread a map on the ground, and everyone's gaze was drawn to it, where more than ten red markers were indicated.

However, even so, the number of magicians across the entire continent is still less than one percent of the number of swordsmen

However, while he was deep in thought, he unexpectedly discovered the reason for the unusual expression of the wizard across from him

"In such a pitch-black expanse, wouldn't it become very conspicuous?" another person inquired

Alright! The jokes end here; the team leader is calling for us.

"Which weak mercenary group is going to have us clean up the mess?" Someone immediately raised this question

Philia looked at Vidiann with a cold smile, her face filled with disdain

It is not difficult; simply crush the charcoal into powder and mix it with oil. The charcoal powder will absorb the oily odor and also aid in combustion. Then it can be applied to stones or the ground.

As long as there is a favorable wind, without entering the canyon, Fenrir may detect the strong odor of oil and become alert, which is highly likely to occur

However, it is indeed inappropriate to apply double standards to other girls right after rewarding the young ladies. Yet, if we reward the female soldiers while not rewarding the male team members, that would also be unacceptable

Andy is agile and quick to react, but his strength is still lacking. Therefore, in addition to learning various techniques, he must also engage in foundational work to enhance his physical fitness

After concluding the lesson with Andy, Mu calculated the time. It had been two weeks since the last guidance provided to the teams of Bizi and Wenji, and it was about time to assess the results of their practice.

However, some people felt reassured, as the Morning Star Group is different from the Black Goat Group; the warriors possess significantly greater combat strength. For them, the silver wolf, which has strong anti-magic capabilities, is merely a more powerful giant wolf.

There is a way to resolve that; I can create a green powder with a scent similar to moss, which, when sprinkled, will resemble a vast expanse of moss.

Then today's meeting will conclude here. I will reconsider the troop deployment, and once the plan is ready, I will invite everyone to discuss it again. During this period, I ask everyone to cooperate with the work that requires personnel and to allocate their subordinates accordingly

Noxiu did not want this atmosphere to continue, signaling to Widian to sit down quickly

Mu found this phenomenon somewhat tricky; he was completely at a loss with the delicate demeanor of these female soldiers

Many people were left speechless, except for Andy, who lowered his head; everyone else looked at the vice captain with astonished eyes and books in hand

Apart from the two individuals he was more familiar with, among those present, Mu had only seen Donier and Shebur.

"Commander, this job carries too much risk! We should refuse it," proposed Kashum

This sentence silenced the voices of those on the practice field

He then turned his gaze to the crowd and said: "Your vice-captain played the role of a soft-hearted person in Karen, giving 30,000 shillings to a woman who takes care of a group of orphans, so there is no money left to help each person buy local products to bring back"

The individuals standing next to Donier and Shebur should be their respective vice captains

Taking advantage of the lull in the wolf pack's assault, they gathered their forces in the open area of the forest to reorganize their formation, planning to allow the mage to unleash their power under the protection of the warriors

Mu did not turn back to look at the speaker, his face remaining calm.

The man with green eyes sitting alone, wearing finger cots, should be Captain Ryan of the Archer Squad

Xiukela also waved to Mu to come over

Oh my! What kind of beauty is this! It actually costs 30,000 Sony. Many male team members thought this way

Everyone turned their gaze towards the source of the voice, and the speaker was none other than Mu, the instigator who had urged Noxiu to abandon the plan

Although the giant wolves are much larger than ordinary wolves, a mere three hundred ordinary giant wolves should not pose an insurmountable challenge for the members of the Black Mountain Goat group. Therefore, there must be a considerable number of silver wolves among them

Rein, could you please refrain from using that kind of expression? It causes me distress

"Being discarded like leftover bones is quite an unpleasant feeling; a man's dignity has been trampled underfoot by Diane."

From now on, let's focus on discipline! Mu thought to himself

There are too few men who can handle the effects of Viagra, so among those who enter his tent, very few are able to walk out upright

Although many people are aware that there are distinctions among apprentices, magicians, sorcerers, magisters, and grand magisters, few know how to assess these qualifications, aside from the magicians themselves

This question came unexpectedly, "Of course it's great! It's even better than a dog!" someone replied without a moment's thought

These candies were originally intended for the little girls, but upon further reflection, I realized that giving things without reason could spoil the children. Therefore, I decided to give them only when they have shown good behavior

"I informed you earlier that he was taking a shower, so he should be arriving soon," Leah replied

However, Mu forgot an important matter; he should not have given candy to Marusia and the others in front of others

How many of them are actually silver wolves

The attire is even bolder; after the top draws two exquisite curves, it can no longer dutifully protect the wearer's body, revealing a slender waist, delicate dimples, and skin that glistens like honey

Lein shrugged and said, "I don't know either. It's not just the two of us; even Captain Philia and several recently returned officials have been called over."

At this moment, the wolf pack surged out from the forest, and with Fenrir's destruction within the formation, the Black Goat faction was thrown into disarray and fled in defeat

Fenrir is the monstrous wolf in Norse mythology capable of swallowing the world, the son of Loki. In the legends, the gods subdued him at the cost of one of Thor's hands, and this is a borrowed reference

Additionally, there are titles such as Sage, Grand Mage, Sorcerer, and Dark Mage, which are honorary titles or infamous names given to certain special magicians

However, the troublesome ones are not these silver wolves

However, the gossip spread by Rain brought some troubles to Mu. For a period of time, there were always female group members trying to sell their bodies to him

Thus, when he hears something memorable, he speaks without a second thought.

I originally intended to find time to train Andy properly, and this gap is just right to teach him martial arts

After witnessing what just happened, the other girls said to the library

This is the only understanding Mu has of Fenrir, derived from the books he has read before

The vice captain is too excessive, only being nice to the little girl

After the basic courses have been taught to him, it will depend on his own efforts moving forward

Upon observing the sequence pointed out by Noxiu, everyone noticed that although the pack of wolves was not advancing in a straight line, it was still evident that they were gradually moving towards the northwest

"How much time will it take to produce the green powder you mentioned, enough to cover an area the size of a campsite?" Noxiu seriously considered the feasibility of implementing the plan

For several consecutive days, for some unknown reason, Noxiu has not issued any new tasks.

Is it a very important matter? What was the last occasion that such a gathering took place? Mu felt that the situation seemed quite serious

Doniel is unafraid because he can afford it. He once said: "If women are compared to food, then Vidiane is a luxurious feast of super proportions"

Therefore, under these circumstances, they should pass through here in a few days. The place referred to by Noxiu is the Giant Canyon

In the corner, three individuals were continuously watching Mu. They were all dressed in wizard robes, but Mu had heard that there were only two wizards in the group

This answer immediately caused the crowd to adopt a serious demeanor, for although the Black Goat Mercenary Corps numbered less than one-third of the Morning Star and did not possess any warriors of the Great Swordmaster level, their magical combat strength surpassed that of the Morning Star

Later, many people entered the residence of Vidiann with great confidence; however, apart from Doniel, no one was able to walk out with their head held high.

It is hard to believe that the vice-captain is so lecherous! Spending so much money on such women. Many female team members think this way

If we wait for the royal capital to take the disaster seriously, gathering the knight order and mages to launch an expedition, it will take at least more than ten days. During this period, even more lives will be lost

There were also those who emerged from the tent of Widian, supporting themselves with something and bending down, saying: "Widian treats matters of the bed as if they were meals."

Is Fenrir's sense of smell good

We are also working very hard

Mu also followed him thoughtfully, leaving the practice field

The plan to set the fire has been canceled; instead, we will set up an ambush on both sides of the canyon and at the exit. Noxiu resolutely made the decision

However, the meeting was not affected by this minor situation, and Noxiu began to explain the circumstances surrounding the previous failure of the Black Goat group

Due to the sudden occurrence of the event, none of the four wizards in the center had the time to cast any spells, and the most powerful mage had his arm bitten off

Fenrir is known by the title of Wolf King, significantly larger than ordinary wolves, possessing immense magical power, capable of using a freezing breath, and is an exceedingly fearsome magical beast

I am also aware that this job is very dangerous, but we are the mercenary group with the strongest combat power in the neighboring area. If we do not resolve this matter, it will greatly damage our reputation

Oh dear! Have some sympathy for your vice-captain! He recently spent 30,000 Sony on a woman and is not so financially comfortable at the moment

If one were not informed in advance, it would be difficult to imagine that Widian is a highly skilled female knight

We will now get to the main topic. The work we are about to discuss has already been attempted by other mercenary groups, but they failed, which is why the employer has entrusted it to Morning Star.

The combat effectiveness of the magician becomes difficult to exert in such an environment filled with mixed enemies and numerous obstacles

Lein smiled with her lips pressed together and said, "Alright! Alright! No more playing!"

Basic training does not yield significant results in just two or three weeks; it is merely to observe whether the female soldiers are diligently following the instructions to train

In order to completely eliminate the wolf pack, Noxiu planned to pour a large amount of oil at the exit of the canyon. Once the wolf pack entered the canyon, he would use ambushed heavy troops to block the entrance and then set it on fire, thereby trapping the wolf pack and annihilating them in one fell swoop
