(Knock knock knock)

A woman with a military belt around her waist entered the room and saluted General Zhang after knocking on the door.

The woman in a cheongsam picked up the hint from her sharp gaze. She smiled graciously and left the room.

The attendant took a quick assessing glance at the female soldier before leaving the room, noticing the female soldier had a slim waist. Her belt had almost gone two circles around her waist. It was very likely that she had an alluring figure under the military uniform!

“I shall excuse myself.” The woman closed the door as she took her leave.

The female soldier did not turn around. However, she harrumphed after the woman left the room.

Was every woman so shameless nowadays? Weren’t they ashamed of staying in a man’s room for so long in the middle of the night?

“Is there a problem?” General Zhang asked her.

“No, sir,” the woman answered.

“Why did you come here then? You should get some rest in your room. We are all worn out from our last mission,” General Zhang chided her.

“Why didn’t you ask that woman to leave sooner, sir?” the woman, Hua Yuezhu, asked him.

“I was asking her about the dragons,” Zhang Xiaohou replied.

“Do they really have dragons?” Hua Yuezhu could barely believe it.

Many merchants liked to boast and exaggerate as part of their marketing strategy, but the real products were often terrible.

“I think so, but they might cost a lot,” Zhang Xiaohou had a slight headache.

Many factions would bid for the dragons, which would surely drive the prices up. Even if they were representing the military, they also had to compete fairly in the bidding. Most importantly, their superiors would not reimburse them too much for it!

“If we had dragons, we wouldn’t have lost to the Evil Hound Ruler last time. The Heavenly Eagles are too weak against a creature like that. They were too scared to fly once they picked up a Ruler-level creature’s presence,” Hua Yuezhu commented.

The military and Hunters had different approaches when they were in the wild.

The Hunters had fewer people, so they could move around more freely. Even if they were in danger, they could split up and regroup again.

The military was different, as their numbers were greater. If they had to avoid demon creatures’ dens all the time, they would waste all their time doing so!

Troops with mounts and tamed beasts were able to roam freely in the wild, as long as they did not encounter brainless species like the Undead. Most demon creatures would back away and avoid contact with troops accompanied by strong beasts.

The tamed beasts were thus crucial to guarantee a smooth journey in the wild for the military’s forces.

Their tamed beasts were able to intimidate the roaming demon creatures with their Auras. When the military did not want to waste time on irrelevant demon creatures, the tamed beasts came in very handy. It saved a lot of their time and energy.

Tamed beasts had stronger physical attributes, too. If the military was tracking down demon creatures, a Wind Mage would often deplete their energy after flying for only one or two hours non-stop, much less than a flying creature.
