"These stats..."

Levi fell into deep thought as he looked at Baisitina’s attribute sheet.

Although Baisitina’s combat skills were a complete mess—she probably couldn’t even defeat a single Goblin.

However, her Wisdom was surprisingly no lower than his own, and she had even put points into three Logistics Skills.

Levi had already tried, but he couldn’t add any points to his Wisdom attribute. He was stuck on the path of a brainless brute, forced to see it through to the end.

But Heroic Units could continue to add points to Wisdom, which meant Baisitina could still grow.

As a Huaxia student in his past life, he had learned a bit of everything, whether it was useful or not. So, he could barely manage the logistics for a few hundred people.

But he wasn’t cut out for this kind of work; he could only guarantee that no major mistakes would be made.

Now, Baisitina’s arrival perfectly solved his pressing problem.

After all, the young lady was the Clan Leader of a Tribe, and her Logistics Management was already at Level 3. She was the perfect candidate to be his Chief Steward of the Imperial Palace.

He wasn’t fond of logistics management anyway. He could hand it over to Baisitina while he focused on the big picture and leading the charge.

Having quickly decided to have Baisitina start working a 996 schedule for him, Levi turned his attention to the dozen or so warriors she had brought with her.

Compared to the simple and brutish heavy infantry path of the Beastman Barbarians, the Feder Remnants’ unit types were more diverse. Starting from Feder Commoners, they progressed to Federation Militia, then Feder Warriors.

Further advancement split into three paths. The first was the Archer path: Federation Longbowmen, Feder Forest Rangers, and Feder Rangers. The second was the light cavalry path: Feder Cavalry and Feder Light Cavalry.

The third was the melee path of the Feder Guard.

Of the three paths, the Archer path had a full six tiers, while the cavalry and infantry paths only had five and four tiers, respectively.

Clearly, developing them along the Archer path offered greater potential.

Conveniently, High Cliff Castle already had the Beastman Barbarians as heavy infantry for frontline melee and the Jackal Wolfmen for cavalry. Developing the Feder Remnants into Archers would diversify High Cliff Castle’s unit composition, resolving the awkward situation of having javelins as their only ranged attack option.

The only thing Levi found somewhat regrettable was that among the nineteen Feder Remnants, there were only two Tier Three Feder Warriors and seven Tier Two soldiers. The rest were all greenhorn Tier One soldiers.

They were a mixed bag, to say the least.

They were completely incomparable to the Beastman Barbarians, who were uniformly Tier Three soldiers.

Extrapolating from this small sample, he estimated that the other Feder Remnants who had yet to arrive would be similarly uneven in quality.

To be honest, Tier One soldiers were basically farmers who had been pulled from their fields and drilled for two days. Tier Two soldiers could barely be called soldiers, and only Tier Three qualified as elite soldiers.

However, due to the differences between races, a single Tier Two Barbarian, fighting alone, could take on three or four Tier Three Feder Warriors.

Levi accepted all of them into his party. A few had already accumulated enough experience to level up, but he didn’t upgrade them.

He planned to wait until the rest of the Feder Remnants arrived at High Cliff Castle. Then, he would have the Beastman Barbarians provide a live demonstration, telling them about the "War God," and upgrade them one by one after they had experienced battle.

Night fell, and the starry wilderness stretched out vast and wide.

Amidst wolf howls that echoed through the Wilderness, three figures galloped toward High Cliff Castle from a distance, illuminated by the starlight.

"Hog and the others are back."

The Beastman on watch shouted loudly to prevent the arrival of the three wolves from causing chaos in High Cliff Castle.

Three Warg Mounts, each 1.5 ren tall at the shoulder, stopped on the flat ground of the hill, panting with their tongues lolling out.

"My Lord."

The three Jackal Wolfmen, each 1.6 ren tall, knelt on one knee in unison, their eyes filled with adoration for Levi.

"You’ve worked hard."

Although the Feder Remnants he had been so eagerly anticipating had shown up on their own, meaning Hog and the others had made the trip for nothing, Levi still offered a word of encouragement.

But to Levi’s surprise, Hog spoke with a grave expression. "My Lord, on our trip to the Kas Mountain Range, we didn’t find any trace of humans for the time being, but we did discover something else."

"What is it?"

Levi’s expression didn’t change. ’Perhaps Hog and his group discovered the movements of the Wilderness Alliance Army. After all, the Kas Mountain Range is to the north, and the Jackal Wolfmen have keen noses. It’s possible they sensed some activity and went to investigate.’

"We heard a dragon’s roar!"

"A dragon’s roar?!"

Levi’s voice rose a few pitches and his expression changed as he sought confirmation again.

’The Five-Colored Giant Dragons from the game in my past life do exist in this world. However, they don’t have Magic now; they can only spit Dragon Breath.

’But even so, a single adult Giant Dragon is enough to fight off an army of a thousand men.

’As long as they fly high in the sky, they’re naturally invincible. Their Dragon Breath is hot enough to melt steel.

’One could say that aside from specially made Dragon-Hunting Crossbows, there are basically no weapons that can deal with these tyrants of the sky.

’And I don’t even have a Hand Crossbow, let alone a Dragon-Hunting Crossbow.

’A Giant Dragon appearing near my territory is not a good sign.

’I’ve always been skeptical of the rumors about Giant Dragons in the depths of the Wilderness, but now it seems they’ve been confirmed.’

"That’s right. Afterward, we caught some goblins and Kobolds on the outskirts. After questioning them, we learned that this Giant Dragon is recruiting followers!"

"But we were afraid of being discovered, so we didn’t go any deeper. We don’t know how many followers it has recruited."

Hearing this, Levi actually breathed a small sigh of relief.

’Recruiting followers most likely means this Giant Dragon has migrated here from somewhere else. And in all likelihood, it’s a young dragon.

’That would explain why it’s acting so boldly and making no effort to hide its tracks.

’From what I know, these Giant Dragons are greedy, lecherous, arrogant, and conceited. If it knew there was a human stronghold here, there’s no guarantee it wouldn’t come to attack.

’Giant Dragons seem to possess a natural tyrant’s aura, allowing them to easily recruit powerful races to their cause.

’This is especially true for Kobolds, who worship Giant Dragons as True Gods. If they learn a dragon has appeared somewhere, they’ll scurry over to pledge allegiance without even needing to be asked.

’Therefore, these Giant Dragon Corps are rarely weak.’

Now, the appearance of such a neighbor made him feel restless.

"How far is it from High Cliff Castle?"
