Carol jumped to the ground, stretched her neck and arms, and picked up a broken tree trunk from the ground while teasing Aldnan behind her, "You two are both wolves, can't you communicate a little?"

The latter growled angrily, "You idiot! Don't compare me to such lowly animals!"

Just then, Alfonso, clad in black armor, opened the car door, carrying a greatsword, and walked step by step toward the giant wolf in front of him.

"Lord Alfonso, be careful!" Randall warned as he tried to jump off the carriage.

When Afangsu was less than twenty meters away from the giant wolf, the back of the dragon bone parasite suddenly emitted a rapid vibration.

A short while later, a long horn sounded from the distant mountains and forests.

Half a minute later, a fully armed barbarian patrol covered in tattoos quickly appeared in front of Alfonso.

The patrol consisted of twelve people, both men and women, armed with various weapons, but all were well-trained and disciplined.

The leader of the group was a strong barbarian with a braided beard hanging on his chest. Upon seeing Alfonso for the first time, he shouted and rushed toward the black-armored knight.

Just as Randall drew his weapon to help, and Carol, Aldnan, and the others were filled with doubt and uncertainty, the barbarian suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Alfonso, and spoke a long string of words in a hurried and loud voice.

Alfonso listened with a furrowed brow and nodded. After hearing what the barbarian had to say, he grabbed the barbarian's shoulders and pulled him up from the ground.

The excited patrol leader looked at Alfonso and the black-armored knights behind him, laughing heartily as he hurriedly turned and left.

Alfonso turned around and walked back into the convoy, saying to those around him, "Follow the warriors of the Deep Sands; they will take us to Froststone."

Stunned, Aldenan watched as the group of strong warriors led the ferocious war beast into the forest, exclaiming incredulously, "Someone can actually tame a war beast!"

Unlike the werewolf's shock, Carol looked enviously at the giant wolf following behind the barbarian, as docile as a large dog, and murmured, "If only I could get a giant wolf like that as a mount..."
