Louis's gaze flickered slightly as he stared at the three pieces of information displayed by the Daily Intelligence System.【1: The Han Yue Tribe's chief was poisoned to death, and the Han Yue Tribe has fallen into civil war.】【2: There is a pack of Icefield Wolves in the Green Rock Rift, mostly pups.】【3: Four days later, Jack will be selling cranberry seeds in Frost Halberd City, with over a dozen Frost Blood Red Berry seeds mixed in.】Louis raised an eyebrow; normally, the system's intelligence often contained a lot of irrelevant trivial information.But today, all three pieces of intelligence were valuable.Han Yue Tribe?Louis recalled the intelligence regarding this Northern Border barbarian tribe.The Han Yue Tribe had always been one of the powerful forces in the Northern Border, renowned for its Boiling Blood Berserkers and archers.It had repeatedly harassed the Iron-Blood Empire's Northern Border Province, causing Duke Edmund great loathing.Now that their chief had died from poisoning, the tribe was bound to fall into chaos, and if the unrest continued, it might even split.For the entire Northern Border, this might be a prelude to an impending storm.But for Louis as he was now, this matter was beyond his scope.After all, he was just a small fry who had just started, and he did not yet have the capital to influence the fate of the barbarians.The only thing he could do was to develop his strength as quickly as possible and prepare for potential changes in the future.Next was the second piece of intelligence: there were Icefield Wolves in the Green Rock Rift.Pups were the key to this intelligence!Icefield Wolves were the top predators of the Northern Border snowfields; adult Icefield Wolves were massive, incredibly fast, and could survive in extremely cold environments.More importantly, their sense of smell was keen, making them the best choice for reconnaissance and combat.However, adult wolves were extremely difficult to tame, almost impossible for humans to control.But pups were different; if tamed from a young age, Red Tide Territory would possess a unique combat force: Wolf Riders!Louis guessed that the parents of these pups were the pack of Icefield Wolves they had hunted on their way to Red Tide Territory earlier.This truly was a fated encounter."We'll set out tomorrow," Louis murmured to himself.The last piece of intelligence made him burst into laughter.Frost Blood Red Berry, an extremely rare mutated berry.Its appearance was similar to ordinary cranberries, but its fruit was dark red, its juice thick, and it contained abundant magic power.Most crucially, it could also enhance the Battle Qi of Bloodline Knights and promote cultivation growth!If this item could be cultivated on a large scale, it would become Red Tide Territory's most precious specialty!However, Louis realized a problem: even if he rushed to Frost Halberd City at full speed, four days was simply not enough time.Being even one day late could very likely lead to others getting there first.And the value of Frost Blood Red Berry was too great; he had to ensure they fell into his hands!Louis could not take this risk.He made a decisive move, immediately summoning Lambert and two other Elite Knights.Lambert was his Guardian Knight; with him leading the team, Louis could be completely at ease."Lambert," Louis said in a deep voice, his eyes serious, "the three of you are to rush to Frost Halberd City at the fastest possible speed, ensuring you arrive within three days."He paused, then continued, "On the east side of the market, there's a merchant named Jack who will be selling cranberry seeds four days from now.You are to arrive two days early, stake out the market, and ensure you buy all of his goods at the first opportunity!"Lambert was slightly taken aback but immediately nodded firmly in acceptance: "Understood, my Lord."He was very puzzled as to why the Lord would attach such importance to a few berry seeds, but he immediately obeyed without question.Because every decision Louis had made along the way had ultimately proven to be correct!Louis suddenly felt that since he was going to Frost Halberd City, he might as well take care of a few other matters.He took a piece of parchment from his desk and picked up a pen to write a letter.The content of the letter was simple: first, to report his safety, and second, to ask for money.Although he was not sure if his cold-blooded father would respond, there was no harm in trying this matter.Even if only a small target amount of funds was sent, it would allow Red Tide Territory to develop faster.After writing, he sealed the letter, stamped it with his seal, and handed it to Lambert."Once you reach Frost Halberd City, hand this letter to the head of our family's merchant guild and have them send it back as soon as possible."Lambert took the letter, carefully put it away, and nodded in response: "Understood.""Make sure there are no mistakes whatsoever," Louis reiterated."Understood!"The three mounted their warhorses and galloped towards Frost Halberd City....The next morning, Louis, accompanied by five elite hunters and eight Formal Knights, galloped across the frozen ground, heading straight for the Green Rock Rift."Have you confirmed it?" Louis looked sideways at Egg, the hunter leading the team.Egg respectfully replied, "According to your orders, we sent people to investigate last night. The wolf pack has lost its leader.Most of them are pups and a few elderly female wolves, hiding in the rock caves deep within /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ the rift. It's a good opportunity."Louis and his group's objective for this trip was naturally the Icefield Wolf pups.They cautiously approached the rift; the snow was covered with wolf paw prints and bloodstains, suggesting a fierce struggle had occurred just last night.Egg pointed to a messy patch of snow: "Look, these paw prints are very chaotic, indicating that there might have been infighting within the wolf pack.""With their leader dead and the pack without a master, infighting is natural.""Later, we'll split into two teams. One team will create a disturbance to attract the attention of the adult wolves, and the other team will seize the opportunity to enter the wolf den and bring out the pups," Louis said slowly, looking at the hunters, "Let's move."Several hunters scattered pre-prepared fresh blood and animal remains outside the cave, tying the largest pieces behind the knights' horses.These were fresh deer meat and animal bones, mixed with a strong scent of blood, which would maximize the hunting instincts of the adult Icefield Wolves.A strong smell of blood quickly permeated the air.Before long, a low growl came from deep within the cave, and pairs of glowing green eyes opened in the darkness."They're here," Egg whispered.Five massive adult Icefield Wolves slowly emerged from the cave, their eyes cautiously scanning their surroundings, low growls rumbling in their throats.Their gaze locked onto the animal remains in the distance, and their pace gradually quickened as they rushed towards the prey.The knights immediately spurred their horses, dragging the animal remains with ropes, guiding the wolf pack away from the cave.The alpha wolf galloped towards the knights, with the other adult wolves following closely behind.This was, of course, a carefully designed trap.When the adult wolves were far from the pups, the knights suddenly reined in their horses and turned them around.Longswords flashed with a cold gleam, striking down directly!Thud!The alpha wolf didn't even have time to react before its throat was pierced by a sword.The other adult wolves let out furious roars, trying to retaliate.Unfortunately, they were not facing ordinary hunters, but Formal Knights who possessed Battle Qi.The scent of blood permeated the air, and in a one-sided slaughter, the wolf pack fell one after another.In just a few minutes, the knights had eliminated all the adult wolves.
