    Bzzz!


    As soon as Legs jumped through the rainbow bridge, his luck today seemed to be wobbly as he saw himself in the midst of a Wolf pack.


    Christensen yelped in shock as he saw the pack of wolves.


    Not exactly a wolf pack, Legs felt goosebumps as he looked at these wolves. For some reason, he didn''t feel like he was looking at a wolf pack, he rather felt like he was looking at an elite unit of scout wolves.


    The Wolves were that organized.


    Instantly after he arrived, the wolves detected his presence.


    Legs chuckled awkwardly as he waved at them. "Hi…, it seems I lost my way, I''ll just take this way and leave, I didn''t see anything".


    "Roar!"


    The leader of the Wolves roared as instantly, the other Wolves understood hismand as without hesitation, they started surrounding these 2 humans.


    Due to his honest intentions of looking for his seemingly lost wolf, Legs didn''t seek Predator''s assistance this time and simply rather opened the rainbow bridge at the direction that his telepathic connection with Ak directed him to.


    He also directed Christensen not to bring Leo along for some weird reason.


    He never expected to drop in the middle of a pack of wild wolves.


    "F*ck!". Legs cursed as he moved instantly.


    "Run!"


    Christensen dared not hesitate as he instinctively obeyed his master''s orders.

    ----


    Whoosh!


    The Wolves barely moved before Legs moved.


    Legs allowed Christensen to move before him so with him now at the back, he became the easiest target for the wolves.


    One of the faster Wind Wolves pounced on him but having read its intentions already, Legs bent his body to an impossible angle as using the momentum of hitting his body against the Wolf, he slid under it.


    All the Wolves that surrounded him were Grade E beasts.


    Though to a Summoner like him without any of his contracted beasts, they were still deadly, they were nowhere as deadly to him like before. At this moment, he was a Grade D Summoner with far superior attributes.


    Legs glided through the Wolves like he was a leaf.


    Christensen intended to pull out his G-96 Pistols but Legs stopped him.


    "Stay your hand, I feel that something is wrong though I''m not sure".


    With his better dexterity, Legs floated through the tiny holes in their formations like a leaf. In the end, these Wolves seemed to be really scouts, none of them were reallybat Wolves with a lot of battle experience.


    Having learned to fight invisible enemies alongside Leo during his training already, Christensen performed admirably as he also evaded the wolves.


    Legs nearly wriggled his way through them all without drawing his sword until he finally met their leader, the massive Wind Wolf pounced on him.


    Bam!


    Legs could not dodge as the Wolf''s mighty ws mmed against his arms that he used to block, injuring him.


    As soon as blood flowed, Legs no longer dared underestimate them.


    He had no intentions of killing them yet though, this was a strange situation in the beast ne and he wanted to get to the bottom of what was happening.


    As he fell down injured, Legs finally made his real move.

    ----


    Legs''s eyes gleamed. "Number 1 rule when fighting beasts that are weaker than you but are troublesome if you don''t want to kill them, tame their leader. When you tame their leader, you tame them all".


    Having gotten used to his master starting lecture sessions randomly, Christensen was all ears as he dutifully took note of the new lesson.


    "Awoo!" The massive Wind Wolf roared as it pounced on Legs.


    Not this time though, having activated his Combat Master ability already, Legs''s power increased as through a brief moment ofbat genius, he briefly overpowered the Wolf by using its momentum against it.


    Bam!


    Legs mmed the Wind Wolf against the ground.


    "Yeah, master, get him!" Christensen cheered as he continued dodging.


    With the Wolf on the ground, as it struggled, Legs ced his right hand on its head and waited. His virtual interface lit up the next moment.

    ----


    "Tell them to stop!" Legs ordered instantly.


    "Roar!"


    The Wind Wolf roared at the others as they obeyed and all stopped fighting. They were slightly hesitant, so this Wolf had to howl at them some more before they becamepletely docile before these 2 humans.


    Legs squatted beside it and patted its soft fur.


    "Hey buddy, tell me what''s happening".


    "Awoo!"


    Since this was not his contracted beast, it took some time and gestures before Legs could understand what the beast was saying since this was not his contracted beast and he could notmunicate telepathically with it.


    Legs''s eyes widened after the exnation.


    "What?" Christensen asked curiously.


    Legs looked around in confusion. "A Wind Wolf called Ak challenged Conan, the overlord of the Steep Hills to a Wolf war?"


    He scratched his head. "The f*ck has Ak been up to recently?"


    Suddenly feeling a light of epiphany light in his head, Legs turned to look at the direction where the scout wolves who apparently belonged to Conan scouted. His eyes widened as he saw hundreds of wolves sprinting across.


    Dust rose from the ground as the wolves moved.


    Legs''s mouth opened wide. "Is…, Ak leading that horde?"


    "…"


    Christensen looked at his master speechlessly.


    …


    A few hundred meters from the main hill of the Steep Hills which was Conan''s territory, the 250+ wolves that made up Ak''s army camped behind a massive rock as they discussed their war n for thest time.


    Behind this rock was the corpse of other wolves, Conan''s scouts which they encountered. They didn''t hesitate to ughter their enemies.


    Ak stood on top a smaller rock and addressed the wolves.


    "Our war n to remove the tyrant is simple, remember that we don''t have the numbers of our opponents".


    "A tyrant''s rule always breed wolves who are brave enough to revolt".


    "We have friends inside Conan''s territories".


    "Some of his wolves are already his greatest enemies without his knowledge, we will take advantage of his ignorance and arrogance".


    "We will invade through the narrow tunnel".


    "We will invade fast and strike hard".


    "Remember, we''ll avoid a head-on battle, our main target is Conan".


    "Once we corner him, I''ll force him into a Vrka Yuddha".


    "The end oue is evident, I will kill the tyrant and liberate all wolves of the Steep Hills".


    "Follow me to war to liberate ourselves from a tyrant!"


    "Follow me to the war of freedom!"


    "Follow me to the war of truth!"


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!" "Awooo!"


    As the hundreds of wolves howled, their loud howls forming a crazy cacophony in the air, Ak basked in all their energy as his blood started burning hotter. He could already feel the drums of war beating.


    "To war!"


    Ak roared as he led the charge to the enemies.
