Chapter 8: Wolf Cavalry Colby [Please bookmark and recommend]

Zong Shen’s voice was loud.

After hearing his words, not only did Tie Zhu reveal a bitter and resentful expression, but Er Gou and Gou Dan, who were nearby searching for the tools they had discarded, also stumbled.

They all knew one thing!

And that was that this Lord was not someone to be trifled with!

Why keep Tie Zhu behind?

Because Tie Zhu was the only one among the three farmers whose aptitude reached "Common," and he was also the former leader of the three-farmer group.

Zong Shen was killing the chicken to scare the monkey; the warning was very clear!

“Lord, I understand…”

“I… I’ll go to work right away!”

Tie Zhu replied timidly.

He hurried to catch up with the other two farmers.

After a bit of education, the trio’s movements were noticeably faster.

Soon, they retrieved the lost tools and the resources they had gathered earlier, and began to work diligently once more.

Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction.

He inserted his one-handed sword into the iron ring slot on the side of his kite shield.

With his shield and sword in one hand and the scroll dropped by the prairie wolf in the other, he returned to the courtyard.

He also packed up his hunting crossbow, placed it next to the wooden storage chest along with his shield and sword, and began to examine the scroll.

【Wolf Rider Recruitment Scroll】

【Commune with great mysterious powers to immediately recruit a powerful Tier 2 cavalry-type warrior: Wolf Rider.】

【Occupies 1 point of Command Value.】

【Default aptitude is Common, level is 10; can be promoted or strengthened later.】

【Click to use】

(Congratulations, the Wolf Rider is a tough character proficient in combat. He will become an important member of your early-game combat team, but you’d better check your food reserves—wolves need to eat meat.)

Looking at the system prompt and the strategy guide’s note, Zong Shen was overjoyed!

A Wolf Rider, a Tier 2 cavalry warrior—surely he wouldn't be too bad!

Zong Shen rubbed his hands together.

He decided to use it immediately. In the current starting situation, every bit of added strength would be beneficial!

“Use!”

Zong Shen’s mind stirred.

Suddenly, the scroll in his hand emitted a black light, broke free from his grip, and flew into the center of the courtyard.

It burst open in the middle of the yard, turning into black dust that fell to the ground.

Eventually, it formed a hexagram array marked with peculiar runes.

A singularity that distorted space appeared inside, gradually growing larger until it became a massive ball of black light.

Once the light took shape, the hexagram array vanished completely.

In its place stood only that ball of black light, towering like a giant black egg.

Black mist constantly rolled and boiled on its surface before gradually dissipating.

“Tsk tsk tsk, these special effects are awesome!”

Zong Shen exclaimed!

By now, the black smoke had completely cleared.

Only a massive figure remained.

Suddenly, this giant figure split into two.

The rider, about 1.8 meters tall and weighing at least 80 kilograms, dismounted from the back of the giant wolf beneath him.

He walked up to Zong Shen with the giant wolf in tow.

He knelt on one knee!

“Roar!”

After a wolf’s howl came the Wolf Rider’s weathered, powerful voice.

“Wolf Rider Colby reports to you!”

“Great Lord, may you be healthy!”

Zong Shen nodded nervously.

He examined the giant wolf.

It was a beast about three meters long, standing about 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder.

This size alone was two-fifths larger than the wolves on Earth.

Inside its massive maw, interlocking fangs were visible; the sharp tusks alone were enough to make one tremble!

This was an absolutely terrifying beast!

He then looked at the rider, Colby.

He was also a typical burly man.

He looked somewhat like a Samoan from Earth.

His resolute face was covered in black tattoos.

He looked brave, determined, and battle-hardened!

He wore only a simple fur vest, with primitive fur shorts and fur boots on his lower body.

His body was knotted with muscles, full of explosive power.

On his head, he wore a metal spiked round helmet.

The spikes on top were broken and worn down, and one could even see marks from blades and axes on the rim of the helmet.

Hanging from his waist on both sides were two sabers, each about 90 centimeters long.

The blades had mottled blue-black marks, yet the edges shimmered with a cold, silvery light.

On his back, he carried a leather short-spear bag containing ten short spears; these were his throwing weapons.

A hunting net was also hung at his lower back.

The spear tips glinted with a cold light, looking incredibly lethal.

Equipped for both long and short range, and with such a fierce giant wolf mount, he was practically invincible.

The more Zong Shen looked, the more he liked him.

Suddenly remembering that Colby was still kneeling, he quickly stepped forward and patted his broad shoulder.

“Get up, Colby.”

“Welcome to the team!”

Colby nodded in acknowledgment, stood up, and led the giant wolf back a few meters.

He stroked the giant wolf’s head, then flipped onto its back.

Zong Shen stood where he was and began to check Wolf Rider Colby’s attributes.

(To summarize, this is a very powerful guy. If you can recruit twelve Wolf Riders, you can form a Wolf Rider squad and trigger more skills.)

This time, the system prompt was very detailed.

The strategy guide note only provided a summary.

After reading the Wolf Rider’s attributes, Zong Shen felt completely at ease.

The Wolf Rider’s initial loyalty was much higher than that of the three silly farmers.

Most importantly, Wolf Rider Colby made up for Zong Shen’s shortcomings in combat.

This would allow for a clearer division of labor within the territory and effectively eliminate potential dangers.

It would greatly increase the efficiency of development.
