Night slowly fell, and thick darkness permeated the surroundings like ink.

Martin and his team lost no time, carefully checked their equipment, tidied up their tents, and then quickly mounted their horses.

Waving the long whip in his hand, he drove the slaves towards the depths of Luoqiu Mountains.

As they walked, Betan's face was filled with confusion. He couldn't help but ask Martin, "Master, logically speaking, the Shadow Wolves should have been discovered long ago. There are so many mercenaries around here, but there's no news from the town at all. This is really strange."

Martin looked at his bewildered expression, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he explained with a smile, "A month ago, Captain Vali and I came to hunt outside the Fallen Autumn Mountains and stumbled upon a small pack of shadow wolves migrating here."

"At that time, Captain Vali led me and several Bronze Knights to track them down. We found them in a very hidden valley."

"The group wasn't large, only about ten or so. Considering their small number and the fact that it was daytime, capturing the Shadow Wolves would likely result in their deaths, we retreated without disturbing them."

"Before leaving, Captain Vali placed magical items around the valley to make their presence difficult for others to detect. This morning, before leaving, Captain Vali and I reached an agreement. In exchange for ten bottles of Knight Training Potion, these Shadow Wolves became mine."

As Martin spoke, he searched carefully on the winding and rugged mountain road based on the route he remembered.

Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, it was already the middle of the night. They finally stumbled and reached the hidden valley, looking at

Martin reined in the reins and calmly began to deploy his plan: "In a moment, let the slaves rush into the valley."

"When Shadow Wolves reach adulthood, their strength is comparable to that of a Knight's Squire. Furthermore, they can traverse the darkness of night without leaving any trace. This unique ability is why Shadow Wolves are so expensive. Shadow Wolves never leave their dens during the day, so this seemingly clumsy method is the only option to prevent their numbers from being reduced during battle."

"When the Shadow Wolf attacks the slaves, it will reveal itself. Then the Knight Squad will quickly move forward to capture it."

"Betan, take your men and capture the cubs. Don't let the slaves harm them during the chaos."

After giving his instructions, Martin ordered the knights to ambush against the wind and once again solemnly instructed them to only seriously injure the Shadow Wolves and not let any of them die. He then signaled Betan to drive the slaves towards the Shadow Wolves.

After the slaves learned of their "mission", they began to riot. However, because of the group slave contract, they had no right to struggle and could only obey the orders of Martin and others.

However, there were also some slaves who were hoping for a better outcome. They took advantage of the opportunity when Betan and others untied the slaves' restraints and immediately ran around. Seeing this, Betan and others quickly rode their horses to catch up with them, raised their swords and killed the escapees on the spot. This action intimidated the slaves present.

However, the smell of blood was also spreading in the air, and the magic props that Captain Vali had previously arranged were gradually depleting the limited magic power.

The shadow wolf on guard keenly caught the unusual sound in the air and let out a sharp wolf howl towards the sky.

The shadow wolf that was hunting outside heard the alarm and immediately changed direction, running towards the valley like black lightning.

In an instant, the shadow wolf on guard and the three female wolves left in the cave rushed out aggressively, leaving only one female wolf in the cave to guard the cubs.

The shadow wolf hides in the darkness, harvesting the lives of slaves one by one like a ghost.

When the number of slaves dropped sharply to about 40, Martin shouted, "Now!"

The knight squad and Betan and others, who had been ready for a long time, rushed towards the Shadow Wolf who was slaughtering slaves like arrows, holding sharp knight swords.

Two of the shadow wolves reacted a little slower, and were immediately pinned to the spot by the knights using their knightly powers.

The imprisoned shadow wolves struggled frantically, baring their sharp fangs, trying to bite the knights who imprisoned them.

Suddenly, a strange wave of light surged through the dark space, and the figures of shadow wolves gradually emerged from the wave. Martin counted them carefully, and there were five in total.

After the Shadow Wolf appeared, it bared its fangs and claws at the Knight Squad, Betan and others, and let out a low roar.

Betan and his men, along with the knight squad, were not afraid and took the lead in launching the attack. They split into two groups, one rushing towards the Shadow Wolf returning from hunting, and the other rushing towards the Shadow Wolf cave.

Martin stood on the thick branch of a large tree, overlooking the battle in the valley.

As time went on, the balance of battle gradually tilted towards the Knights.

Seeing this scene, Martin climbed down the tree with satisfaction and walked towards the valley, followed closely by the captain of the Bronze Knight strength.

In the valley, the slaves were almost exhausted, and the knight team also successfully imprisoned all the shadow wolves.

At the same time, Betan and his team successfully found five cubs in the wolf cave.

Martin secretly planned in his heart that when he returned to the castle tomorrow, he would sell these shadow wolves and cubs to the royal capital through the family chamber of commerce, and he would surely be able to exchange them for a lot of gold coins.
