Chapter 269: Chapter 254: Werewolf Raiders_1
Prince Elrado adjusted the fur collar of his overcoat, then turned to Karol with the most graceful smile and said, "No, we haven’t demanded anything from the Silvermane Principality with the posture of a conquering state.
I am fully considering Duke Silvermane’s best interest.
If the Elves were given control of the area held by the Orcs and Highland City, we could gain a strategic advantage over the Barbaric Orcs. This would not only deter the Orcs from attacking us hastily but also curb their ambition to harass the Principality to the south.
We’re helping you, so asking for some compensation isn’t excessive, right?
Moreover, if the Silvermane Principality wishes to maintain peace with the Snow Elves, there’s no need to sustain a large army in the highlands.
The marriage alliance is meant to solidify the relationship between our two nations.
As the Elves guard the north for the Silvermane Principality, Duke Silvermane can focus his efforts elsewhere."
Lady Karol fell silent at Prince Elrado’s words.
She didn’t know whether the Elf Prince was privy to some information or was simply speculating.
Karol said to Prince Elrado, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, you’re not just considering our interests, but yours as well, aren’t you?
I’ve heard that the health of the Elf King has been quite poor in recent years."
"Father is getting on in years, after all..."
Lady Karol and Prince Elrado engaged in successive rounds of negotiations in Nuta City, each representing the interests of their side.
The Griffon breeding program led by Yan Xing was carried out methodically.
Bolorobin Island was renamed Gryphon Island and officially became a Griffon breeding base, with six Griffons arriving at their new home.
The Thunderous Company, named after Sir Lei Ming, was established.
Yan Xing held fifty-one percent of the shares in Thunderous Company, while the other families shared the remaining forty-nine percent.
Renlun Investment Bank acquired a ten percent stake.
Chen Shi took up the post of CEO of the company, and Tong Yitong, as Yan Xing’s representative, moved to Gryphon Island.
The Zhao Family’s facilities on the island needed to be expanded, the harbor required expansion, and there were many tasks to be completed.
However, Yan Xing did not have time to deal with the trivial matters of Thunderous Company.
Now that management was handed over to Chen Shi, security to Renlun Investment Bank, and supervision to Tong Yitong, Yan Xing promptly became a hands-off chairman, refocusing his energy on his own domain in the Magic World.
The training of the Seventh Order Werewolves was completed.
Cavalry are offensive military units. After Yan Xing paired Human Cavalry with Chocobos, they became light cavalry suitable for performing flanking maneuvers.
Since Human Cavalry weapons are optimized for close combat, the Werewolf Cavalry had to compensate for the Human Cavalry’s shortcomings.
Hence, Yan Xing chose bows and heavy cavalry sabers as the weapons for the Werewolf Cavalry.
If they encountered an enemy on guard, the Werewolf Raiders would use their bows to create an opening, while the Human Cavalry charged through the breached "door" to carry out a surprise attack.
Combined with a contingent of Griffons and Unmanned Bombers, the Cavalry of the Eternal Domain would possess the capability for independent long-distance operations.
Yan Xing named his Seventh Order Werewolf Cavalry: Werewolf Raiders.
Werewolf Raiders (Seventh Order Werewolf)
Attack: 11
Defense: 9
Damage: 9
Vitality: 35
Talent: Mounted Archery
Upon developing the Seventh Order Werewolf unit, rewards were also dispensed.

One hundred Werewolf Raiders from outside the city entered Eternal City. After obtaining 100 Chocobos as their mounts, they formed a Cavalry square on the plaza outside the Lord’s Mansion with the 50 Werewolf Raiders who had just completed advanced training.
Yan Xing, clad in full armor, stood on the Lord’s steps.
Olaf brought him his beloved horse, Shadowfly, and Yan Xing mounted the horse.
He drew the newly acquired Sword of Honor Knight and shouted to his Raiders, "Move out! Follow me to Nuta City!"
Yan Xing spurred Shadowfly towards the city gate, while the Chocobo-mounted Olaf led the Werewolf Raiders behind Yan Xing, racing out of Eternal City along its central avenue.
Yesterday, Karol had sent a messenger to the Eternal Domain with a message: Miss Li Jiya had arrived in Nuta City... Yan Xing was very much looking forward to meeting Li Jiya, wondering if she had found out where the Orcs’ treasury in Nuta City was located.
Riding Shadowfly and leading the Raiders out of the Eternal Domain, Yan Xing thought about affairs in Nuta City while fiddling with the precious sword in his hand.
Sword of Honor Knight (God-given Equipment)
Attack +4
Intelligence +2
Knowledge +2
Knight combat technique effectiveness increases by 10%
Damage to evil creatures increased by 10%
+1 to all attributes of subordinate Cavalry
Skill: Glorious Charge - Within 100 meters, the damage of allied charging Cavalry units is increased by 50%, and their defense is increased by 50%.
Upon receiving the Sword of Honor Knight and seeing its attributes, Yan Xing readily discarded the steel sword he had forged in the real world.
This sword truly befits my status as a Lord.
In addition to the Sword of Honor Knight, Yan Xing also received a special building blueprint in the rewards for this main quest: the Roaring Hall.
The Werewolves were once part of the Orc Race’s ranks but later joined the Swamp Tribe after being ostracized.
The Werewolf hero profession also changed from the Orc Race’s Berserker to the Swamp Tribe’s Beast Tamer.
However, even after the Werewolves joined the Swamp Tribe, some would still awaken the Orc Race’s innate talent: the Roaring Battle Technique.
Olaf was one such Berserker who possessed the Roaring Battle Technique.
The Roaring Hall is a special building for Werewolf Beast Tamers to change their class to Berserkers, gaining the Roaring Battle Technique while losing their taming skills.
Roaring can apply beneficial status effects to oneself and subordinates and inflict detrimental status effects on enemies. It is a very practical combat skill.
By the time Yan Xing left the Eternal Domain, he had already used God-given gold coins to build the Roaring Hall and had arranged for a portion of the Werewolf Beast Tamers to change their class.
Thus, the Werewolves of the Eternal Domain now had two exclusive hero professions: Beast Tamer and Berserker.
Furthermore, the acquisition of the Intermediate Offense Technique signified that Yan Xing had taken another step forward in becoming an accomplished hero.
Mastering an Intermediate Level hero skill indicated that a hero had entered a new tier of power, advancing from a Junior Hero to an Intermediate Hero.
In the entire Magic World, Junior Heroes account for 85% of all heroes.
Intermediate Heroes were already considered masters.
The true extent of Yan Xing’s strength would need to be tested in actual combat.
