The Steel Fang Tribe of Beastmen.

It was once a garrison left behind by the Golden Flower Family.

After being occupied by the Beastmen.

The entire garrison was remodeled in the style of a Beastman tribe.

Mainly, the city walls and watchtowers were reinforced with spikes.

The spikes were covered with highly poisonous vines gathered by the Beastmen.

The entire garrison looked primitive and rugged.

And outside the garrison.

The Beastmen had set up several alert camps.

The defenses of these camps were not as complete as the garrison's.

There were only wooden watchtowers covered with spikes and some Beastman sentries stationed outside the city.

At this moment.

Inside a watchtower covered with spiked vines.

About ten Beastmen emerged, carrying weapons.

These Beastmen were all patrol sentries.

After being awakened from their slumber, they all seemed to have a bit of morning grumpiness.

"What human lord? I bet the guys at the Centurion Camp are just lying about the intelligence."

"Yeah, we've patrolled three or four times already, and we haven't seen any human lords come by."

"Hush, what are you talking about? This was a message sent by the Shaman, and if the Shaman finds out, you want to die, don't you?"

The last person to speak was a small captain.

He glared fiercely at his subordinate and said.

"All of you, patrol properly."

Then he looked up at the distant mountain peaks.

"Why hasn't the second squad returned yet?"

"According to the time, they should have returned by now to relieve us."

"Could something have happened?"

The Beastman deputy captain beside him said dismissively.

"What could happen?"

"A human lord attacking us."

"That's impossible. The Centurion Camp is still ahead. Those are the bravest warriors of our Steel Fang Tribe."

"The Centurion Commander is a warrior who has awakened Bloodthirsty Battle Qi."

"The human territories are probably already surrounded by the Centurion's team."

"How could they possibly come to attack us?"

"I think the second squad is probably slacking off and went hunting."

This statement drew agreement from the surrounding Beastmen.

"We've all only recently woken up, and our mouths are practically dry."

"Why don't we go hunt some wild beasts to eat too?"

"Let's go, let's go. Maybe we'll even run into the second squad."

As they spoke, they incited the Beastman captain to leave.

The main body of this Beastman tribe was wild boar Beastmen.

Naturally greedy, lazy, and gluttonous.

Especially after just waking up, these low-level Beastmen craved bloody food even more.

Even the chief of the Steel Fang Tribe was currently chewing on bloody food from a hunt to satisfy his hunger.

How could they, the low-level Beastmen below, resist?

Although the Beastman captain was unwilling, he couldn't withstand the instigation of his subordinates.

In a moment, he wavered.

He raised his retracted spear and shouted.

"Let's go, let's go. We'll patrol first, and then we'll look for the second squad."

The Beastmen below cheered immediately.

They followed closely behind, heading along the patrol route.

This wasn't an isolated incident.

All the Beastmen patrolling the outskirts of the Steel Fang Tribe were the same.

And all of this was clearly seen by the Wolf Hunters ambushing them.

"Lord Christian, there are a total of five Beastmen alert camps."

"Each camp has three patrol teams."

"We let the first one pass, and we've already annihilated the second Beastmen patrol team."

"Now the third patrol team has begun its route."

"Should we eliminate them immediately!"

The Wolf Hunter squad leader quickly reported the situation to Christian.

Christian, as the vanguard commander, did not answer immediately upon hearing this.

Instead, he asked, "Where are Lady Lilith's Flame Mages?"

"Less than three miles away."

Hearing this distance, Christian pondered.

"Three miles. At the speed of a Flame Mage, they can arrive in an instant."

"We can begin our attack."

Christian stood up and began to give orders.

"Pass on my command."

"Vanguard Wolf Hunters, eliminate the Beastmen patrol team."

"All other Wolf Hunters, immediately converge on me."

"Prepare to charge the Beastmen alert camps!"

Upon receiving the orders, the main force of Wolf Hunters gathered under Christian, riding their dire wolves.

And on the path the Beastmen patrols had to take, the vanguard Wolf Hunter squad waited quietly for the Beastmen to fall into their traps.

"Captain, don't you think something is strange around here?"

A sensitive Beastman seemed to have noticed something amiss.

But the Beastman captain waved his spear.

"You're overthinking it. We're so close to the tribe."

"How could anything happen?"

"You idiot."

The reprimanded Beastman looked around for a moment, feeling a chill in the air.

But there was nothing he could do.

He could only catch up to the team and say, "Captain... I really..."

Before he could finish speaking, Suddenly!

Screams came from the front.

"Ah~"

"A trap!"

"My leg is caught."

"Quick, form a circle!!!"

These Beastmen were truly elite.

After being attacked, they immediately converged in the center, raising their massive shields.

But unfortunately, they had encountered the Wolf Hunters.

After completing the hunt of the second patrol team, the Wolf Hunters had already mastered the Beastmen's tactics.

As the Beastmen converged towards the center, the ambushing Wolf Hunters swiftly loosed deadly arrows.

The swift arrows accurately killed the Beastmen who were still advancing, shields in hand.

Without the protection of their shields, the arrows behind them continued to kill the remaining Beastmen.

The heavy casualties caused this Beastmen patrol to collapse instantly.

"This is no good, the enemy is too strong."

"Captain, we'll cover your retreat, you break out!"

The other Beastmen, without a word, used their bodies as shields, blocking the Wolf Hunter's attacks.

And the Beastman captain, with a charge, picked up the shield on the ground and was about to cover the remaining Beastmen as they left.

But the moment he picked up the shield.

From within the forest, the ambushing Wolf Hunters drove their dire wolves out.

In that instant.

The Beastman captain, who didn't have time to raise his shield, saw a flash of blade falling towards his head.

By the time he reacted.

The Beastman sub-captain saw blood spraying from his neck.

"So strong~"

He immediately lost consciousness.

At this time, the Wolf Hunter vanguard had completed the beheading.

"Captain, all Beastmen have been beheaded."

"Good, immediately inform Lord Christian."

"Yes."

When the message reached Christian.

She had already completed the formation of the Wolf Hunter cavalry.

Upon hearing the news that the Beastmen vanguard had been completely wiped out.

Christian leaped onto her warhorse, drawing her greatsword.

She pointed towards the Beastmen sentry camp on the small plain below the mountain.

"For the glory of the Wasteland Territory!"

"Wolf Hunters!"

"Charge!"

In an instant.

The muffled sound of the Human cavalry charge, like thunder, once again echoed outside the Garrison.

And the last time.

That was in the Glory Era, before the Great Calamity!

And at this moment.

Within the Beastmen tribe.

The Beastman chief, Steel Fang, was gnawing on the flesh of a giant bear.

"Only blood can awaken the Beastmen bloodline!"

"Even though we now believe in the Mist Gods."

Steel Fang swallowed a mouthful of bloody flesh and said indistinctly.

And just then, the chewing Steel Fang chief suddenly stopped.

He looked at the Beastmen warriors in the tribal hall who were also feasting.

"Listen, I think I hear the sound of cavalry charging!"

The surrounding Beastmen warriors all looked at Steel Fang in unison.

"Chief, how is that possible? We already killed all the Human cavalry."

"Yes, the pioneer territory of the Golden Flower Family is already in ruins."

"Chief, the head of the cavalry leader of this Garrison is still in the prison, where could a cavalry charge be coming from!"

The Beastmen warriors said one after another, disbelieving.

And Steel Fang, the chief, frowned.

"No, I wouldn't mishear!"

"Guards!"

He was about to summon the Beastmen guards outside.

But the next moment.

The guards outside the tribal hall hurried in.

"Chieftain."

"Bad news, bad news!"

"Human cavalry is attacking, they've already broken through our five outer camps."

"And now!"

"The Human Mage Corps has appeared below the city walls."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Beastmen Chieftain's hall fell silent.

After a long pause.

The Chieftain of the Steel Fang Tribe roared, "Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!!!"
