“It’s not hard at all.” The troll named Dollond shook his head and said with a smile, “Compared to Lord Woking, who is responsible for the entire Dark Spear Clan, this little task of mine is nothing.”
“You’ve done quite well,” Woking said flatly and praised.
“Lord Woking’s inspection of the island this year is a little early. How long are you planning to stay on the island?” Dollond changed the topic and asked.
“I should be leaving tomorrow.” Woking lifted his feet and walked up the mountain.
“Why don’t you stay on the island for a few more days?” Dollond followed closely behind and said anxiously, “The representatives of the outstanding subordinates haven’t met you yet.”
“Then call them over when we send them off tomorrow,” Woking said casually.
“This is really…”
After walking out of the territory belonging to the trolls in the valley, the scouts were finally able to straighten their backs and see the sun again.
From where they were standing, the Sun had already set on the back of the mountain range. The sky was filled with the golden afterglow.
“Get ready to find a place to camp,” Abel ordered.
“Yes!” the soldiers let out an orderly and loud voice.
The Autumn Sun was always falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The soldiers’ tents were half-built, so they could not see anything clearly. They could only pick up wood and build a few open fire platforms before they went to set up camp.
“Although we are not in the troll’s territory right now, the jackalans and wild beasts in this valley can be considered quite dangerous, right?” After a soldier nailed down a wooden stake, he spoke to the soldier who was working beside him.
“Indeed. Now that you mention it, I think I really heard a wolf cry,” the soldier replied.

“Haha, it must be to scare you! Even if there really is a wolf, you don’t have to be so scared, right?” The soldier stood at the spot and cupped his belly.
“I say, why are you…” the frightened soldier was about to curse something.
“Wolf! Wolf!” a soldier’s shout came from afar.
At this time, setting up the military camp was almost completed. Devitt and the others stayed in the tent to collect their clothes. After hearing the shout, they quickly walked out of the camp.
Abel walked in front of the soldier who was shouting and asked, “Where did you see the wolves?”
“At the entrance of the camp, there seemed to be seven or eight wolves,” the soldier reported while panting.
“Got it,” Abel replied. Then, he walked out of the camp on his own. Just as the soldier had said, seven wild wolves were lying in the forest at the entrance of the camp. Under the illumination of the fire, their pupils refracted a green light.
When the pack of wolves saw Abel appear alone in front of them, they let out a grunting sound from their throats.
Abel did not care. He walked back to the group of soldiers.
“Captain Abel, what do we do now?” a soldier walked forward and asked.
“See if we can lure these wolves away. If not, we can only kill them,” Abel replied.
After receiving the answer, the soldier nodded and said to the soldiers behind him, “You, you, you, you, you, follow me.”
After watching the soldier lead the six-man team out of the camp, Abel dismissed the soldiers gathered around him.
Claremont and Devitt were a step too late. They passed through the scattered crowd and walked to Abel. “What’s wrong?”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})“A soldier found a pack of wolves at the entrance of the camp. He has already sent people to deal with it,” Abel replied.
“Was the soldier bitten by the wolf?” Devitt asked with concern.
“No, he was just scared,” Abel replied. When he asked the soldier, he had also carefully observed him.
“That’s good.” Devitt heaved a sigh of relief and said.
After half an hour or so.
The soldier who went out to deal with the wolf pack came back with the body of the wolf.
The leading soldier reported to Claremont, “Captain Claremont, we have destroyed all the wolves.”
“Well done.” Claremont nodded.
“These wolves should be enough for dinner today. I heard that eating wolf meat can keep out the cold and nourish the stomach,” a soldier suggested.
“This… you have to ask the soldiers in the logistics department whether they are willing to cook for you,” Claremont said hesitantly.
“Go, go, ask them,” a soldier in the team said happily.
“Then we will take our leave first, Captain Claremont.” The leading soldier bowed to Claremont and said.
“Okay.”
Seeing the group of people walking toward the back of the camp, Claremont silently decided in his heart that he would make do with wheat bread for dinner today.
“What are you guys talking about?” The soldier in the kitchen, who was cutting vegetables, couldn’t help but ask when he saw a group of soldiers dragging something towards him.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})“Today’s extra meal,” a soldier said happily.
“Look at how fat the meat is,” a soldier said as he placed the wild wolf in his hand on the chopping board.
“Okay, okay. You brought so much. Where can we find people to cook for you?” The soldier who was cooking put down his kitchen knife and waved his hand. “One is more like it.”
“Sorry to trouble you.” the soldiers heard the other party agree and thanked him happily.
Leaving the one on the chopping board, the soldiers dragged the other wild wolves and prepared to throw them outside the camp.
“Throw them further away, don’t throw them into the river.” The soldier who was cutting vegetables thought of something and hurriedly chased after them. He shouted at the back of the group of people who had left.
“Got it!”
After the group of people had asked Devitt for instructions, they walked out of the military camp and threw the body of the wild wolf in the jungle which was about ten minutes away from the military camp.
Dollond’s two subordinates watched the soldiers throw away the body of the wild wolf. They turned around and left.
They walked out of the jungle.
A troll walked closer to the jungle where the bodies of the wolves were piled up and looked at it carefully. He turned around and said to his companion, “Looks like these soldiers are quite powerful.”
“What’s the big deal? They just defeated a few stray wolves,” another troll said disdainfully.
“I’m a little interested in them. Why don’t we go and find a few soldiers to practice with,” the troll said as he walked closer.
“Lord Dollond’s orders are only to keep an eye on them. He specifically told us not to let anyone attack. Do you want to disobey his orders?” the troll said sternly.
“I don’t dare. Just take it as a joke.” The troll who was reprimanded retracted his relaxed and casual look and lowered his head towards another troll.
“Lord Woking is about to leave this island. You don’t want to find an opportunity to show off in front of Lord Woking. Instead, you’re looking for people to fight one-on-one. What can you do?” the troll sighed and said, as he admonished the troll beside him, he walked back.
