Zong Shen spoke in a loud voice.
Upon hearing his words.
Not only did Tie Zhu reveal an expression of deep bitterness.
Even Er Gou and Gou Dan, who were nearby searching for the tools they had discarded, stumbled in their tracks.
They all knew one thing!
And that was that this lord was not easy to fool!
Why did he make Tie Zhu stay behind?
Because Tie Zhu was the only one among the three farmers whose aptitude reached Ordinary, and he was also the former leader of their three-man farming group.
Zong Shen was killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and the warning was very clear!
"I understand, Lord..."
"I... I'll go get to work right away!"
Tie Zhu replied timidly.
He hurriedly chased after the other two farmers.
After being educated, the movements of the three were noticeably much faster.
They quickly retrieved the lost tools and the resources they had gathered earlier.
They began to work diligently and conscientiously 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.
Holding the 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 away his hunting crossbow, placing it next to the wooden storage chest alongside the shield and sword.
He began to examine the scroll closely.
[Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll]
[Commune with the great mysterious power to immediately recruit a powerful Tier 2 cavalry warrior, a Wolf Cavalryman.]
[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 Cavalry is a ruthless character proficient in combat. He will become an important member of your early-game fighting force, but you'll need to check your food reserves; wolves need to eat meat.)
Zong Shen looked at the system prompt and the strategy note, his heart filled with great joy!
Wolf Cavalry, a Tier 2 cavalry warrior; surely, he wouldn't be too shabby!
Zong Shen rubbed his hands together.
He decided to use it immediately. In the current starting situation, every bit of added strength would be advantageous!
"Use!"
Zong Shen focused his mind.
Then, the scroll in his hand suddenly emitted a black light, broke free from Zong Shen's grasp, and flew into the middle of the courtyard.
It burst open in the center of the yard, turning into black dust that settled on the ground.
It ultimately formed a hexagram array marked with peculiar runes.
A singularity of distorted space began to appear 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, looming like a giant black egg.
Black mist constantly churned and boiled on its surface before gradually dissipating.
"Tsk tsk tsk, these special effects are awesome!"
Zong Shen exclaimed in admiration!
By now, the black smoke had completely cleared.
In its place stood only a massive figure.
Suddenly, this massive figure split into two.
The one on top, a Wolf Cavalryman 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!"
Following the wolf's howl came the weathered, powerful voice of the Wolf Cavalry.
"Wolf Cavalry Colby reporting for duty!"
"Great lord, may you be in good health!"
Zong Shen nodded, feeling a bit nervous.
He cast his gaze toward the giant wolf.
It was a massive beast, roughly three meters in length and standing about 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder.
This size alone made it two-fifths larger than any wolf on Earth.
Inside its gaping maw, jagged teeth interlocked, and the sharp fangs were enough to strike terror into anyone who looked at them!
This was an absolutely awe-inspiring beast!
Then, he looked at the rider, Colby.
He was a classic, burly man.
He looked somewhat like a Samoan from Earth.
His resolute face was marked with streaks of black tattoos.
He looked brave, steadfast, and battle-hardened!
He wore only a simple fur vest, with primitive fur shorts and fur boots on his lower body.
His entire body was knotted with muscles, brimming with explosive power.
On his head, he wore a metal, spiked round helmet.
The spikes on the top of the helmet were broken and worn down, and one could even see the marks of sword slashes and axe blows along the rim.
Hanging from each side of his waist was a saber approximately 90 centimeters long.
The blades were mottled with dark green and black stains, yet their edges glinted with a silvery-white, icy light.
On his back, he carried a leather quiver containing ten short spears; these were his throwing weapons.
Attached to the small of his back was a Capture Net.
The spear tips shone with a chilling light, appearing to possess terrifying lethality.
Equipped for both long and short range, and mounted on such a ferocious giant wolf, he was practically invincible.
The more Zong Shen looked, the more he liked what he saw.
He suddenly remembered that Colby was still maintaining a kneeling position.
He quickly stood up and patted his broad shoulder.
"Get up, Colby."
"Welcome to the team!"
Colby nodded in acknowledgment, then stood up and led the giant wolf back a few meters.
He stroked the giant wolf's head before vaulting onto its back.
Zong Shen stood where he was and began to check the attributes of the Wolf Cavalry, Colby.

(To summarize, this is a very formidable fellow. If you can recruit twelve Wolf Cavalry, you can form a Wolf Cavalry squad and trigger even more skills.)
This system prompt was very detailed.
The strategy notes only provided a brief summary.
After reading the attributes of the Wolf Cavalry, Zong Shen felt completely at ease.
The initial loyalty of this Wolf Cavalry was much higher than that of those three silly farmers.
Most importantly, the Wolf Cavalry Colby made up for Zong Shen's shortcomings in combat.
This allows for a clearer division of labor within the entire territory and can effectively eliminate some potential dangers.
It makes the development efficiency increase significantly.
