"Wait a moment," the dragonborn maid said in a polite tone. It had been almost half a year since they came here. They had already figured out who had outstanding strength and status among their master's subordinates and had engraved them in their hearts.
The two-meter-eight, muscular kobold in front of them was the one with the highest strength and status among their master's family members. Even if these dragonborn maids took good care of their master and were liked by him, their status in his heart was far inferior to that of the kobold.
Skye waited for a moment with a calm expression and saw a tall dragonborn maid walking out of the cave.
"Master lets you in," the head maid, Sophia, said to Skye.
Skye nodded and followed her into the cave.
After an expansion, the cave was now thirty meters high, nearly a hundred meters wide, and a thousand meters deep.
The space inside was huge.
The walls were dotted with soft blue fluorescent stones that emitted a soft light. The faint blue light from thousands of large and small stones dispelled the dark environment of the entire cave and made it seem a bit dreamy.
Skye followed the head maid, Sophia, all the way and took a look at the surrounding environment. This was the first time Skye had entered the dragon's lair. After all, it had only been half a year since they moved to the mountain territory.
After walking for a while, the field of vision became wider. What came into view was a block of flat blue ore, over a hundred meters in diameter, carved into the shape of the Throne of Thorns.
A giant black dragon lay in the Throne of Thorns, and next to it were a group of dragonborn maids who were having a barbecue and were busy non-stop.
At this time, the dragonborn maids had just finished roasting a monster cow that was more than five meters long. The two maids, one on the left and the other on the right, lifted the roasted cow, weighing five or six tons, and carried it to the abyss of the black dragon with little effort.
I opened my mouth and ate half of the roasted beef in one mouthful. I chewed it a few times and swallowed the bones along with the meat. Then I ate the other half in one mouthful. After eating, I looked at the standing Skye.
"Tell me what's going on," I said in a lazy tone, not really caring about Skye's purpose.
Because if it were a very important matter, Skye would have reported it directly through the spiritual connection.
"Master, a group of jackals broke into our territory a few days ago. After clashing with them several times, we found that this group of jackals is not weak. The leader of the jackals is a high-order professional."
"If there is only one senior professional, you should be able to solve it, right?" I frowned.
Now there are four high-order combatants under my command, from high to low in strength: Gryphon, White Crane, Senior Mage Roy, and Mundo, who has just entered the senior order. As for Skye, Danylan, and others, they still lack some accumulation and are stuck at the ninth high order.
Except for Roy, who cannot help in developing peripheral forces in the human country, the other three can all be mobilized.
Could it be that the jackal leader is particularly strong?
"Master, of course we can solve it, but I am wondering if the master intends to subdue him, so I came to ask for your opinion," Skye explained, then added, "If the master intends to conquer them, we will accept more casualties to capture their leader alive. If not, we will slaughter all the jackals and leave none behind."
So that's it. I glanced at Skye, understanding what the territorial steward was thinking.
Since Skye reported this news, he naturally thought the master could subdue this group of jackals because Skye's only thought was to expand the power of Dragon Nest and grow it stronger.
But as a dependent servant, it does not have the right to ask its master to act according to its ideas, so he politely asks for my opinion.
"It seems you like this jackal; it must be a little different," I said with a grin.
Skye nodded and said respectfully, "Master guessed right. There is an outstanding force of Warg Knights among these gnolls. I suspect that these gnolls have the profession inherited by their race."
Inherited professions refer to the professions passed down by the race. These professions are not necessarily better than ordinary professions, but they are often the most suitable for the race.
For example, the sub-dragon knight profession of the wild dwarves is one of their inherited professions. When wild dwarves practice it, their combat performance is extremely outstanding. However, if humans or other humanoid creatures were to practice it, they would likely fail because of differences in body structure.
"If this is the case, it is indeed worth conquering," I replied, with a trace of interest in my eyes.
"Go down and set the plans in motion immediately," I commanded, with an edge of authority in my voice. "If anything deviates from the plan, I'll personally intervene. Make no mistake, I will not tolerate failure."
Skye knelt, his head lowered in complete submission. "Understood, my lord. I also bring word from Vic, Shadar, and Miss Winnie."
"Continue," I said, reclining slightly, though my focus sharpened. These three were overseeing operations at the Magic Iron Ore Vein—an invaluable asset that could shift the balance of power. I had already heightened security and pushed Vic to expedite the mining. With humans inching their way into the Dark Forest, losing that vein was a risk I couldn't afford. Nearly 40% of my grand vision depended on that resource.
"My lord," Skye continued, "Miss Winnie reported seeing noblemen within a 100-kilometer radius of the vein. It appears they are trying to probe deeper into the Dark Forest."
A flicker of cold calculation crossed my mind as I processed this. The nobles, ever hungry for power, were clearly testing their reach. My gaze hardened. "I expected such meddling."
I paused for a moment, considering the broader implications. Then I spoke with measured calm, "Inform Vic, Shadar, and Winnie to heighten their vigilance. I want eyes on every movement around the vein. If the situation escalates, I expect immediate contact. There will be no delays."
Skye, clearly tense but unwavering, bowed again. "As you command, my lord." Without another word, he backed away and hurried off, swift and intent on carrying out my will.

Three Days Later.
The sun was shining brightly.
Grey shadows flashed across the jungle. Looking closer, these grey shadows were gray-haired jackals, with an average height of two meters and two, possessing ferocious hyena-like heads. Their backs were slightly bowed, their bodies lean, and most wore hooded clothes. They wore iron armor, held long-handled iron axes in one hand and small iron shields in the other, and their green eyes flashed with ferocity.
Gray-furred gnolls, one of the gnoll subspecies, usually live in plains with suitable temperatures. The biological order of an adult individual can reach 2nd Order. They have near-human intelligence and organizational capabilities, extremely developed senses of smell and hearing, and dark vision. They can come and go freely in the dark. Among them, individuals with outstanding talents also possess the ability of Madness Enchantment.
Among the many monster groups in the wild, the gray-haired gnolls can definitely be regarded as middle-class. Trash like kobolds and goblins were not taken seriously by them at all, and they were usually the targets of torture and fun when encountered.
But today, the objects that these gray-haired jackals originally looked down upon were hunting them, and the roles of both sides had reversed.
"Damn, what on earth is going on with these goblins and kobolds?!"
The dozen or so grey-haired jackals who were desperately escaping were panicking, their ugly hyena-like faces trembling as they recalled the monster-like goblins and kobolds they had just encountered.
They had been sent by their leader to hunt prey, but now not only were they unable to catch any prey, they feared their lives would be left behind.
The other party pursued them all the way and had already captured seven or eight of their tribesmen.
Not just here, but in other parts of the forest, teams of jackals were being hunted down and captured one after another.
The monster warriors from the Dragon Nest force were not kind to these jackals. They would capture them if they could, and if they couldn't, they would kill them directly.
And in a jungle seven or eight kilometers away, a fierce battle was ongoing.
In the sky, a huge white crane with a wingspan of twenty meters spat out wind blades from its mouth.
On the ground, a giant forest troll roared and chased after a gnoll riding a silver Warg. In his hand was a brand-new five-to-six-meter-long terrifying mace. A casual blow would cause the ground to shake twice.
Thick and tall ancient trees fell to the ground one after another, stirring up bursts of dust.
Brian rode the giant silver wolf and once again easily evaded White Crane's attack. However, facing the sheer number of rapid wind blades from the mother crane in the sky, he could only dodge in embarrassment. From time to time, he had to wave the scimitar in his hand to block the unavoidable wind blades that were trying to cut him into pieces.
The scimitar was very long, over two meters, and the surface of the blade was covered with a layer of rich blood.
This was a manifestation of the extraordinary power of the profession that Brian practiced.
Conventional extraordinary powers include: Mana, Ki, Divine Aura, Rage, Psionic Flow, Spirit Energy, Blood Energy, Arcane Flux, Sorcery Energy, Shadow Essence, Primal Energy, Elemental Energy, Stamina, Eldritch Power, Vital Essence, Soul Flow, Primal Force, Chaos Energy, Astral Force, Etheric Energy, etc.
The profession that Blaine transferred to is called "Wolf Knight," which is an exclusive profession for jackals that has been passed down for at least thousands of years. The extraordinary power gained through cultivation is blood energy.
The characteristics of each extraordinary power are different. Even if you practice the same extraordinary power but in different professions, the characteristics of the extraordinary power will be different.
But generally speaking, the focus of various extraordinary powers is relatively clear.
The characteristic of extraordinary powers, such as blood energy, is that it focuses on strengthening the body and promoting the transformation of one's own life level. However, as for its shortcomings—for example, compared with fighting energy—the attack range of blood energy is often not large enough.
A twelfth-level advanced fighting spirit practitioner, the fighting spirit slashing light emitted by a full blow can even reach ten meters, and the distance of the out-of-body attack can reach hundreds of meters or even further.
But for a twelfth-level advanced blood energy cultivator, the blood energy slashing light emitted by a full blow is only a few meters long, and the attack distance from the body is often within a hundred meters.
Blaine has now encountered the enemy that a practitioner of the blood energy profession least wants to encounter.
He raised his head and looked at the mother crane with a gloomy face, which kept sending out wind blades to harass and attack, feeling extremely aggrieved.
This huge white crane monster is hundreds of meters in the air. At this distance, his detached blood energy cannot attack at all! You can't throw the weapon away, right?!
At this time, the mother crane once again sent out more than a dozen wind blades to attack Blaine. Mundo, who had gradually gained more experience in fighting after hundreds of large and small fights, also seized this opportunity and struck hard with his new mace. This time, although Blaine still easily dodged Mundo's mace attack, he was forced to move by the huge mace, causing a palm-sized wind blade to hit his arm.
The seemingly solid iron armor worn on his body was cut open like butter by this small wind blade. What was cut next was Blaine's tough fur, but in the end, the wind blade got caught in the muscle and disappeared.
The strong body cultivated by blood energy makes him extremely resistant to this level of magical attacks.
"Damn flat-haired beast!"
Blaine had a fierce and sinister look on his face, feeling that the wound on his arm was shrinking and healing. It probably wouldn't take long for him to fully recover, but he had plans to retreat.
He wasn't afraid of one against two, but one was a tough troll that couldn't be killed in a short time, and the other couldn't even be touched directly, which made Blaine extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that the jackal leader was trying to escape, Mundo and the White Crane quickly pursued him.
However, the giant silver wolf that Blaine sat on was extremely fast, running away at full speed like a silver phantom. The bulky Mundo was quickly left behind, and only the female crane could easily keep up.
Below, Blaine was riding a giant silver wolf while avoiding the incoming wind blades, and at the same time swung the scimitar in his hand to smash the wind blades that could not be avoided. This continued several times, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled into the sky,
"Is there something wrong with your brain, you flat-haired beast? Do you think you can kill me if you chase me?"
In the sky, the mother crane stared at Blaine coldly. Although she understood, the mother crane ignored him completely and continued to attack with the wind blades.
Feeling the attack of the wind blades with accelerated frequency, small wounds appeared on his body, and the armor he wore became tattered. Blaine was going crazy in his heart.
In this life, Blaine has encountered many life-and-death crises, but never one that made him so aggrieved!
Blaine's eyes gradually turned red, and the rich energy and blood in his body escaped. His coarse hair stood on end. He sat down, and the silver giant wolf sensed his master's thoughts telepathically. The wolf howled, and its muscles all over its body bulged. Its body expanded, and the large circle of silver hair was quickly dyed with a rich blood color.
The combination goes crazy!
Among the jackal race, the most talented jackals can understand the ability of madness enchantment, and the most talented can enter the combined mad state with their close mounts to gain a greater physical fitness increase.
Almost instantly, the silver giant wolf turned into a blood shadow, and with the help of an ancient tree tens of meters high, it jumped directly to a height of several hundred meters.
Chichi~!
Blaine was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and a five-meter-long terrifying blood glow suddenly extended from the tip of the bloody scimitar in his hand. He slashed hard at the female crane that was approaching quickly.
There was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the female crane, and she was a little shocked by the explosive speed displayed by Blaine and the giant wolf mount at that moment, but she was not worried at all. The wind element surrounded her body, and she disappeared in place with a flutter of wings. Her figure reappeared a hundred meters away.
When Blaine saw the terrifying speed of the mother crane's explosion, the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched, knowing that he would not be able to kill this disgusting flat-haired beast.
