The beastmen on the city wall had remained tense and on guard until the sun rose the next day, yet saw no sign of the hyena-drakes returning. Azhang arranged for a small team to follow the hyena-drakes\u2019 tracks, and they did not return until they discovered that the footprints truly disappeared at the forest entrance.<\/span><\/p>

Unexpectedly, the hyena-drakes really had retreated. Surrounded by countless hyena-drakes, the beastmen of Qi Ze City had remained completely unscathed. Whether for the original residents or the newly joined beastmen from the Salt-Water Tribe, such an outcome had been unimaginable before today. The beastmen were still a bit dazed upon hearing that the hyena-drakes had withdrawn so easily.<\/span><\/p>

The little wolf cub\u2019s molting process had continued until the moon rose high. After Ajing brought it home and cleaned the blood from its fur, it fell into a deep sleep\u2014one that lasted until summer arrived before it finally woke up.<\/span><\/p>

Most of the dragons that had fallen into the pit traps were still not dead. Some were dying, severely injured by arrows and covered in blood, while others had merely slipped in and were not greatly weakened in energy or strength despite being trapped. It took the beastmen an entire day to deal with all of these dragons.<\/span><\/p>

After confirming that the hyena-drakes would not return, the beastmen hiding in the cellar came out one after another. When Ka Luo saw Ake unscathed, his eyes filled with mist. He had thought this time would be like the last\u2014Ake appearing before him covered in blood. Even though he had mentally prepared for the worst, he couldn\u2019t help but cry when he saw Ake standing before him just as usual.<\/span><\/p>

Ake pulled both Ka Luo and Ayao, who was in Ka Luo\u2019s arms, tightly into his embrace. Honestly, when he had seen such an enormous group of hyena-drakes, he had thought that sending Ka Luo into the cellar would be the last time they ever saw each other. Holding the two of them now finally made his heart settle a little.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNext time, I want to fight alongside you too.\u201d Ka Luo buried his head against Ake\u2019s neck and spoke in a muffled voice. Although he had not taken part in this defensive battle, he knew that Chen Qi and Ye Huo had been fighting on the front lines. This overwhelming victory gave him confidence, making him realize that even males who could not transform into beastforms could fight side by side with females.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Of course, Ka Luo was not the only one with this thought. All the beastmen who had been hiding in the cellar felt the same after coming out. The idea had already taken root and begun to sprout in their hearts, and this victory became the best nourishment for those tender seedlings, nurturing them into towering trees that could no longer be concealed.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf you want to fight, you still need more training.\u201d Before Ake could respond, Chen Qi, who happened to be walking by, heard Ka Luo\u2019s words and answered with a smile.<\/span><\/p>

With the surrounding houses blocking the wind, the cold here was not as harsh as on the city wall. Chen Qi had already removed the mask that had been covering his face; aside from some redness caused by the cold, his skin did not feel torn by the wind. A year of daily, persistent training had greatly strengthened his body, which was why he could fight continuously for several days. In contrast, Ka Luo and Ali had been busy since the summer, teaching new tribespeople and handling various village affairs, so their stamina for multi-day combat was no longer comparable to Chen Qi\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI will. Call me next time you train.\u201d Ka Luo nodded firmly.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMaybe you can call us too.\u201d As a male, Ye Huo did not need to go outside the city to help deal with the dragons that had not fully died in the pit traps. When he came over to help settle the little beastmen and heard the conversation, he walked over with several other males.<\/span><\/p>

Several days of battle had left dark shadows under Ye Huo\u2019s eyes, and his face was extremely pale, but the joy between his brows could not be hidden, even tinged with excitement. Although he had only helped operate a siege crossbow, it was the first time he had truly felt a hyena-drake being struck down. In that instant, it felt as if all the blood in his body had boiled.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThen from now on, besides the writing class, we\u2019ll add a few more outdoor lessons every day.\u201d Chen Qi looked at the beastmen gathering around him. He didn\u2019t dampen their enthusiasm\u2014after all, long-distance combat depended on weapons, so to him there was little difference between males and females. Qi Ze City didn\u2019t have many people to begin with. If everyone could participate in battle, the next time the hyena-drakes came, the females\u2019 burden would be a little lighter.<\/span><\/p>

After returning home, Chen Qi first went to check on the little wolf cub. Ake had already told him what had happened earlier. Now, seeing the little wolf cub lying quietly on the heated brick bed, he could hardly connect this peaceful fluffball with the miserable state it had been in during its molting.<\/span><\/p>

He reached out and gently stroked the little wolf cub\u2019s soft white fur. Its body was clearly sturdier than it had been a few days ago\u2014much bigger too. If it stood up now, it might already be taller than Ajing.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, it\u2019s just asleep.\u201d Aze patted Chen Qi on the shoulder reassuringly.<\/span><\/p>

When Ajing saw the two return, joy flashed in his eyes. Although he hadn\u2019t gone out because he needed to care for the little wolf cub, his hearing was excellent; he had long heard the news outside about the hyena-drakes\u2019 retreat and the victory. Seeing Chen Qi\u2019s face flushed red from the cold, he hurried to make a bowl of ginger soup for the two of them to warm up.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cDo you think the hyena-drakes\u2019 retreat had anything to do with Little Wolf?\u201d Chen Qi picked up a warmed beast hide from the bed and covered the little wolf cub, asking softly. The distance had been far, but he was sure he had seen the giant wolf-god among the hyena-drake pack.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMaybe.\u201d The hyena-drakes had withdrawn right after the little wolf cub\u2019s roar. Aze couldn\u2019t be sure the two were connected.<\/span><\/p>

Chen Qi lifted his head and gave him a look but said nothing more.<\/span><\/p>

After taking care of the surviving hyena-drakes and ironshell-drakes in the pit traps, the beastmen finally got a full night\u2019s rest. The next day, a blizzard hit. The dragon corpses outside the city gate were buried under thick snow, becoming little white mounds. Even the blood beneath the snow disappeared.<\/span><\/p>

When the blizzard passed, the beastmen gathered all the dragon bodies together\u2014five to six hundred in total\u2014and piled them up into a mountain nearly as tall as the ice wall.<\/span><\/p>

Every day, Azhang sent patrols to check the forest\u2019s edge. This place was too close to the forest; they feared the hyena-drakes might turn back halfway. The collapsed ice wall was left as it was, but the outer traps were rebuilt and reorganized to prevent stray dragons from passing by.<\/span><\/p>

The biggest gain from the battle was likely the iron shells from those hundreds of ironshell-drakes. With this batch of iron, they could make many weapons once summer arrived. At the very least, replacing all arrowheads with iron ones wouldn\u2019t be a problem.<\/span><\/p>

While the Qi Ze beastmen repaired equipment, reinforced traps, and dealt with the heap of dragon corpses, the last Moonless Day quietly arrived. With the break of dawn came the thunderous collapse of the ice wall across the Dora Plains. Countless bonfires lit the inner wall, illuminating the ice wall outside. Chen Qi and Aze had been waiting there since early morning. Last year he had been caught off guard by the sudden collapse, but this time they were prepared\u2014the massive floodwaters were all guided into the moat, nowhere near the inner wall.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI didn\u2019t expect something as solid as an ice wall to melt just like that. Is there something different about this snow?\u201d Even experiencing this for the second time, Chen Qi was still awestruck.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNothing different.\u201d Aze thought seriously before answering.<\/span><\/p>

Seeing his earnest expression, Chen Qi couldn\u2019t help but find it amusing.<\/span><\/p>

Because it was a Moonless Day, the plains were shrouded in darkness. When the sun finally rose, all the surrounding snow had completely melted. The moat was full, and even the outer pits were filled to the brim. But before Chen Qi could fully observe the dramatic shift between winter and summer, thick dark clouds swallowed the newly risen sun.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A fierce wind came first, followed by distant thunder. The moment they made it back from the wall, torrential rain began pouring down. The beastmen who returned just a little slower were instantly soaked through.<\/span><\/p>

Aze had already withdrawn his beastform fur. Chen Qi pulled him to the washroom for a bath and then changed him into summer clothes. No longer needing layers of animal hides, Chen Qi felt much lighter.<\/span><\/p>

But the Lion-Wolf Tribe\u2014which had no moat\u2014was far less fortunate. Their tribe sat lower than the surrounding plains, and with the three tall outer walls they later added, the massive meltwater flooded straight into the settlement. Beastmen living on the outskirts were knocked over by the rushing water, some choking on mouthfuls of filthy water in their panic. Only those who quickly scrambled onto rooftops avoided disaster.<\/span><\/p>

Fortunately, the tribe had enough open space, and the water drained quickly, preventing heavy casualties. But the continuous downpours that followed left the Lion-Wolf Tribe utterly miserable.<\/span><\/p>

Unlike Qi Ze City, the Lion-Wolf Tribe had no drainage channels. Many of them didn\u2019t even have proper houses. After being soaked by the ice wall\u2019s melted water, their homes were flooded again by days of heavy rain. Water pooled calf-deep across the tribe. Many frailer beastmen soon developed high fevers.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat do we do now?\u201d Ayu asked nervously, watching lightning flash as though it might strike right before their eyes.<\/span><\/p>

The Flame-Hill Tribe had been the first to merge in, so they had built their own houses. But now, due to the endless rain and flooding, not a single place inside was dry\u2014not even enough to light a fire. The males lying on the stone beds with high fevers were covered in moisture.<\/span><\/p>

A faint, flickering emotion crossed Ayan\u2019s eyes. \u201cFind a few people and go with the Lion-Wolf Tribe to search the forest for heatgrass.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Everyone fell silent. They had all seen the enormous hyena-drake pack that winter. According to the Lion-Wolf Tribe male, heatgrass grew deep within the forest. The beastmen sent to find it might not return. But seeing more and more people collapse with fever, they knew they had no choice.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ll go.\u201d Ayu looked at Ayan with unwavering determination.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
