The train finally arrived at the remote outpost after a 4-hour journey.
Long Su and the Silver Wings Hunting Group marveled at the fortress-like structure that towered before them.
With a commanding presence and formidable defenses, the stronghold seemed impervious to any outside threats.
"This place is impressive," Long Su commented, taking in the sight.
Cai Yan shared her knowledge about the stronghold.
"It's heavily guarded, with around 5,000 troops stationed here. The structure is similar to that of the Dragon Kingdom army, but they use different terms for their units."
"What kind of leadership do they have here?" Long Su inquired.
"The commander is a senior commander-level warrior, a student from Sederth University," Cai Yan explained.
"He's assisted by ten beginner commander-level warriors, all from different universities. They're responsible for protecting the nearby lands and maintaining order."
Long Su recognized the importance of the stronghold. "I can see why they've invested so much in this place. The safety of the surrounding potion farms depends on their efforts."
As the group made their way through the fortress, they discussed their mission objectives.
"Our task is to clear out the monsters from the nearby forest," Cai Yan informed them.
"We'll be rewarded with 10 magic stones for every hundred normal soldier-level monsters we defeat and extra credits for every three elite-level monsters."
Tian Rong, finally breaking his silence, remarked, "The rewards might not be extraordinary, but hunting these monsters can be lucrative in itself. The valuable materials we gather will make it worth our while."
Long Su agreed, understanding that their combined efforts would not only benefit their personal growth but also contribute to the safety of the region.
"As a Lord with thousands of units, I can make a significant impact in eliminating these threats," he added.
" i forgot to ask what type is your unit's "
Cai yan suddenly remembered to ask thus question
" heavy armour Infantry soldiers "
Long su answer simply
Cai Yan nodded, acknowledging the potential advantages of having a Lord on their team.
"Your units will undoubtedly bolster our efforts, Long Su. Remember, we need to document our progress with photos and records to claim our rewards."
As the Silver Wings Hunting Group prepared to embark on their mission, each member felt a renewed sense of determination.
Together, they would confront the monsters that threatened the region, earning fame and fortune in the process.
"Let's do this" Cai Yan declared, leading the group towards the forest, their sights set on the challenges that awaited them.
Long Su and the Silver Wings Hunting Group made their way towards the forest.
They discussed the reasons behind the popularity of the hunting business, despite the inherent risks involved.
The potential rewards seemed to outweigh the dangers they faced.
"Why is it that so many people work in this kinds of dangerous work?" Long Su asked, eager to learn more about the motivations of his new teammates.
Cai Yan explained, "The materials we obtain from the Warcraft are incredibly valuable. Their fur, scales, armor, and teeth are essential components for creating enchanted equipment, making them highly sought-after."
Yu Yating added, "Not to mention their magic energy organ, which is the source of their power. Obtaining these can fetch high prices and provide substantial income for hunters like us."
Cui Fang chimed in, "And if we're lucky, we may find magic crystals within their magic organs. These crystals are necessary for crafting advanced enchanted equipment and magic wands, making them even more valuable."
Long Su considered the potential benefits, both in terms of wealth and the enhancement of his own units.
"So, not only are these materials worth a significant amount of magic stones, but they also serve as a means to strengthen all types of people and units."
Tian Rong, maintaining his stoic demeanor, concurred, "Indeed, hunting these monsters can be compared to capturing moving treasure. For those who can face the risks, the rewards can be life-changing."
After two days of trekking through the dense forest, the Silver Wings Hunting Group finally reached the heart of the hunting grounds.
As they ventured deeper into the forest, the concentration of magic power grew stronger, and with it, the level of monsters they encountered.
"We've entered the outer ring of the forest," Cai Yan announced. "Most of the monsters here are at the soldier level."
Long Su observed the well-balanced composition of the Iron Fist Hunting Group, noting their ability to handle even the most challenging soldier-level monsters with relative ease.
The group's assassin, Yu Yating, led the way as she scouted for potential targets.
Her swift movements and stealthy nature made her an ideal choice for reconnaissance.
Suddenly, she signaled for the others to gather.
"Sister Cai, I've found several horned wolves ahead," Yu Yating reported. "Two adults and five juveniles. The adults are at the peak soldier-level, while the young ones are all at the middle-level ."
Cai Yan, eager to engage in their first hunt, confidently led the group towards the horned wolves. "Our first hunt awaits us!" she exclaimed.
" long su, don't summon your units just watch how our team work "
" okay "
Long su voice was low fueled with disappointment but since he is one of the team he must opay the order
And it will be good experience for him to see an actual combat of the hunting group
Upon arriving at the location, Huang Kun, the druid, utilized his secret techniques to gain a better view of their prey.
The horned wolf family was feasting on a deer-like monster, oblivious to the impending danger.
In anticipation of the hunt, Cai Yan summoned several human units donning leather armor and wielding bows.

Seeing the information of these people, I was impressed by their skills and knew that this was one of the Cai Yan units.
' i can't see their attributes but since they are level two units at least they are stronger them the skeleton slaves '
' but can they fight the skeleton Militia '
Long su was thinking abot comparing the units in silent while everyone in the group was moving in all directions to prepare for the hunt
As the Hunters took their positions on the high ground, they swiftly prepared their bows and targeted the unsuspecting horned wolves.
With a combination of stealth and precision, the group awaited Cai Yan's signal to initiate the attack.
With a silent signal from Cai Yan, the Hunters released their arrows, which whizzed through the air and struck the adult horned wolves in their eyeballs.
The precise shots proved fatal, as the arrowheads pierced through the only vulnerable spots in the wolves' otherwise well-defended bodies.
The sudden ambush left the horned wolves with no chance to resist.
As the fighting spirit within the arrows erupted, the adult horned wolves collapsed, their lives extinguished in an instant.
The younger wolves, now left unprotected, were swiftly dispatched by the Hunters' relentless barrage of arrows.
Long Su, who had been observing the scene, was left puzzled by the efficiency of the attack. "Captain Cai, how were your middle-level soldier units able to kill elite-level monsters with such ease?" he asked.
Cai Yan, examining the bodies of the fallen wolves, responded with a satisfied smile. "It's all thanks to the special arrows. Each one costs one magic stone, but the cost is justified when used against elite-level monsters. "
" Our hunters used eight arrows, and in return, we received twenty magic stones. If we sell the wolf bodies, we'll earn about fifty more. Investing in the right equipment can yield significant rewards in the end."
As Cai Yan touched the bodies of the dead wolves, they vanished, transported to her Seed World for processing.
Long Su couldn't help but be impressed by the strategic approach taken by Cai Yan and her Hunters, understanding that success in this profession often relied on a combination of skill, teamwork, and the right tools for the job.
The past ten days had been filled with successful hunts for the Silver Wings Hunting Group.
They had effortlessly taken down nearly a hundred magical beasts, with the majority being normal soldier-level creatures.
Long Su, however, felt like he had been idle compared to his teammates and wanted to contribute more to the group.
During dinner, Long Su approached Cai Yan with a request. "Captain Cai, would you mind assigning the night shift to me? I'd like to do something for the team."
Cai Yan, slightly intrigued, agreed. "Sure, that's no problem. But first, let me see your units."
Long Su concentrated, summoning hundreds of armed skeleton warriors and positioning them around the camp using his mental strength.
As the skeletons materialized, the expressions of Cai Yan and the others shifted, a mix of surprise and disgusting.
Before Cai Yan could speak, a scream pierced the air, coming from Huang Kun, the druid, who had spotted the skeletal soldiers near his tent.
Tian Rong, reacting swiftly, sent a gust of wind slicing through the skeletons close to the tents.
This strong attack destroyed 5 skeleton
Long Su, realizing the misunderstanding, quickly commanded his undead soldiers who were ready to attack Tian Rong to stand down.
"Stop! Tian Rong, it's a misunderstanding! These skeletons are my units."
Tian Rong, his sword still drawn, addressed Cai Yan with a scowl. "Captain, I warned you about him! He's been taking 30% of our earnings without contributing much to the team, and now he reveals himself as an undead Lord. "
" Only those with dark hearts would raise such vile creatures!"
Huang Kun, standing beside Tian Rong, glared at Long Su. "Disgusting undead lord..."
The tension was palpable as Cai Yan found herself caught between her teammates' distrust of Long Su and her responsibility as the group's leader.
