"Master, should we pursue?" Belder rode his horse to Velin's side and asked.

Looking at the centaurs who were almost out of sight, Velin shook his head and issued an order: "Have the others capture the Azure Purple Horses. Don't bother with the fleeing centaurs."

Everyone's faces were protected by masks, making it impossible for the other party to obtain useful information. However, on the way back to the territory, they would need to take a detour to prevent the possibility of being followed.

As night approached, they had collected a total of one hundred and thirty-seven Azure Purple Horses: seventeen stallions, one hundred and six mares, and fourteen foals.

Velin was very satisfied with this number.

Given time, these mares would allow him to breed thousands of Azure Purple Horses and form his own knight order.

At this moment, Ariya, who had escaped the encirclement, didn't leave immediately. Instead, she hid in the surrounding bushes, preparing to follow and gather information, to find the target for revenge.

"Despicable humans, I will make you pay a price, a terrible price."

Ariya, crawling in the grass, gritted her teeth and said.

The slain Silver Warrior Dorris was one of her only two staunch supporters. To die in this unknown place like this, coupled with the loss of the Azure Purple Horse herd, she would likely be reduced to a tool for intermarriage with other centaur clans upon her return.

She was unwilling, very unwilling.

For several days, Velin followed his original plan, circling around and heading towards Saipruo Province, which bordered Cadro Province.

He had long discovered the centaur following them and intended to lead disaster their way.

The western border region of Saipruo Province, the direction where the Hax Family's disciples were primarily pioneering.

As the Marquis family of Iron Male Territory in West River Province, they were mortal enemies of the Ex Family.

A week later, after discovering that the centaur had left, Velin changed direction, heading north along the border, returning to the Lake of Star Prayer.

At this moment, the Hax Family disciples in the western border region of Saipruo Province were unaware that they were about to face the retaliation of a powerful centaur clan.

On the morning of August 25th, the group returned to the territory.

"Master." Orlando and Hebrew bowed as they saw Velin return.

"Mm, good. You've made breakthroughs in your strength. You truly are the Guardian Knights I selected."

Velin patted their shoulders and praised them loudly.

The eight knights behind them widened their eyes. These two youngsters, within half a year of stepping through the threshold, had already reached the cultivation level that took them six to seven years.

Just then, a mysterious small ball they carried reacted.

These two mysterious round balls, obtained from merchants at the entrance of West River Province, were emitting strange fluctuations.

"Could it be…"

Velin looked at Orlando and Hebrew, suddenly understanding something.

"Belder, settle the Azure Purple Horses we brought back and ensure the stallions and mares are bred as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master."

Afterward, Velin took his two Guardian Knights to a room and took out the two round balls he carried.

Instantly, the two round balls floated in the air and slowly drifted towards the bewildered brothers.

"Master, what is this?" Orlando couldn't help but step back a few paces, asking in confusion.

"These two things should be related to you. Try to touch them; you might gain something unexpected." Velin said slowly, stroking his chin.

Orlando and Hebrew listened, extended their right hands, grasped the round balls, closed their eyes, and channeled their Battle Qi.

In an instant, a blinding light forced Velin to cover his eyes.

The two were enveloped in it. After ten minutes, the light dispersed, and two Silver Knights appeared before Velin.

"Thank you for your grace, Master."

Orlando and Hebrew knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

Velin, still in a daze, touched his head and asked in confusion, "You are… explain the circumstances."

Seeing this, Orlando stepped forward and began to explain the origin of the mysterious round balls.

These two round balls were swept into spatial turbulence and arrived on the continent of Sinaps. They contained precious and rare Battle Method Cores. Thanks to the fusion of the Battle Method Cores with them, their strength was forcibly elevated.

Now, through the Battle Method Cores, they could contract Knight Squires, transforming their Battle Qi into seeds, serving as secondary cores, and sending them into the bodies of others, forming connection hubs.

This way, during battles, Orlando could form battle formations with those contracted, link their Battle Qi, and create battle beasts to fight.

"Now, how many people can you two contract?"

Facing Velin's question, Orlando replied without hesitation: "Master, my current limit is thirty people."

"Master, I can contract twenty-five," Hebrew answered immediately, a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"Good. You can choose any of the Knight Squires you wish. In the coming period, I will have Belder arrange for some people to purchase a group of youths."

"Thank you for your generosity, Master."

Orlando and Hebrew knelt on the ground, kowtowing in gratitude.

Seeing this, Velin quickly helped them up and smiled, saying, "I told you, if you two become my Guardian Knights, I will cultivate you with all my might."

"From now on, you two will form knight orders with the contracted individuals as the core. I will fully support you."

"My Lord, we will become the sharp sword in your hand, forever loyal to you until the moment we fall." Orlando and Hebrew looked at Velin, their eyes filled with reverence and respect as they spoke from the heart.

Watching the two youths gradually grow, he perhaps finally understood what the Guidance of Fate had told him about his wings.

Over the next few days, the three thousand mu of Bean Potatoes and two thousand mu of Root Vegetables planted three months ago gradually ripened.

Velin attached great importance to this first batch of harvested grain crops, personally organizing the Freemen and Serfs for the harvest.

Looking at the mountains of Bean Potatoes and Root Vegetables, Velin smiled.

"My Lord, the joy of harvest is always uplifting for both body and mind." Belder looked at the abundant food, his tone filled with reminiscence, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed! Harvest is joy, and it also represents the success of the first step in my Pioneer endeavors."

Velin picked up a Bean Potato, brushed off the dirt, and with a gentle effort, broke it open, handing half to Belder.

Taking a bite, the cool texture and sweet juice brought back memories of eating sweet potatoes as a child in his previous life.

After five days of harvesting, the three thousand mu of land yielded 1.35 million jin of Bean Potatoes, with an average yield of 450 jin per mu. The two thousand mu of land yielded 400,000 jin of Root Vegetables, with an average yield of 200 jin per mu.

According to the previously established tax rules, he would receive 810,000 jin of Bean Potatoes and 320,000 jin of Root Vegetables.

Additionally, Velin had Belder order the requisition of surplus grain from the Freemen, purchasing it at one copper coin per jin for Bean Potatoes and two copper coins per jin for Root Vegetables.
