Early the next morning, Liu Zhenhan returned triumphantly to Florent.
Our lord could not help but be proud—the task of rescuing the Wolf Cavalry, who had been forced into a corner by the Demon Clan’s army, appeared almost impossible!
On the Aegean Continent, no one would deny the adverse situation the Wolf Cavalry was in at that time!
Florent independently initiated this military rescue operation without consulting anyone, obtaining authorization from the kingdom’s military department, or drafting thorough combat plans and contingency measures; yet this somewhat amateurish "three-no action" was executed with such simplicity and elegance throughout the process!
Whether it was the early extermination battle or the strategic retreat, encircled by the enemy’s large army later on, the Summer Palace Guard and thirty thousand Wolf Cavalry skillfully responded to each situation, consistently maintaining control of their fate’s rhythm, eventually achieving a triumphant great escape!
This smooth success even seemed incredible to Liu Zhenhan himself!
He initially believed that the Demon Clan’s main force would certainly fight back desperately! Who would have thought the opponent was either too stunned or unable to react in time, with the main force caught in a three-sided encirclement stopping in place, watching as the supposedly cornered thirty thousand Wolf Cavalry broke through the intercepting corps, reorganized into orderly ranks, and stormed into the massive fog-separated passageways on the beach, disappearing into the distance.
The Demon Clan’s air force, though relying on speed and altitude, gave chase for a while, yet despite their excellent eyesight, the airborne cavalry could not see through the fog below where the Wolf Cavalry might be hiding; plus, after being ambushed by five thousand Sea Dragon Arcanists, the Demon Clan’s air force wisely chose to return.
To prepare for the Demon Clan’s counterattack, Liu Zhenhan had made ready to lose everything!
As a result, only a small portion of the seventy-seven hundred Lace Burst Arrows brought by the Summer Palace Guard was consumed, with over five thousand Tamerlarya oil melons only throwing five hundred, and the sharpened "Wave Concealment Pearl" was not even used against the Demon Clan’s army; among the heavy strategic equipment, only the "Black Silver" Explosive Shell consumed its already limited stock.
Whether this unexpected saving should be attributed to the luck of the Summer Palace Guard or the Demon Clan’s luck—if all the strategic equipment had been expended, Florent would have volunteered half its martial power; if the Demon Clan had suffered this saturation bombardment, no Demon Clan commander would have been able to avoid crying their eyes out; this was hard to accept for both sides.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Liu Zhenhan habitually acted as a hands-off manager, dealing with the major parts of the Wolf Cavalry’s landing on the island, leaving the rest to be handled by Chief of Staff Rovi and Lampard; as for some An’erle Formation blueprints, he planned to hand them over to the Sea Dragon King once all the "Nau Platinum" was in place, thus completing this win-win collaboration.
A popular saying on the Aegean Continent succinctly describes the ordeal of the Wolf Cavalry—aside from time and love, anything in this world can be bought, as long as the price is high enough.
The Demonic Sea Clan’s willingness to help was crucial to the eventual success of the Wolf Cavalry’s rescue and was a huge surprise to the Demon Clan’s army, delaying their military attack; Liu Zhenhan was able to buy the cooperation of the Demonic Sea Clan because the "An’erle Formation" precisely struck at the heart of the Demonic Sea Clan.
However, Rommel sought to exchange Shieldaxe Dwarves for Red Earth Highland, to withdraw peacefully and jointly resist external threats, which was also a staggering price!
Liu Zhenhan, with four blood-stained arms under his arm, rolled his eyes at Ning Yu and Elder Andulan.
The four pure-blood Duergar of the Aegean are the most direct lineage of the ancient Titans, an ancient legacy more mysterious and distant than Giant Dragons! They possess the most outstanding talents, setting themselves apart in certain domains, unmatched by anyone!
The Golden Dwarf clan, inhabitants of the hills, are a perfect union of warrior and mage, unmatched by any other fierce and battle-hardened people on the Aegean Continent!
The Silver Dwarves specialize in refining the powerful explosive "Black Silver," paired with their uniquely crafted long-range cannons, they are a terrifying force of battlefield firepower!
The Wild Dwarves’ exceptional alchemical skills are comparable to the combined alchemist teams of the entire Aegean Continent, possessing them signifies an uncontested dominant advantage in magical tools and auxiliary equipment!
The previously unexposed Shieldaxe Dwarves are the dominators of the skies!
This pure-blood Duergar clan excels in the research and manufacture of alloy metals, long able to blend gold, silver, copper, and iron using unique proportions to produce "Antilles Metal" and "Derelbes Metal"!
"Antilles" and "Derelbes" are unique Dwarven dialect terms, the former meaning "oxygen-rich," the latter "oxygen explosion."
