Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

"Awoo~"

The Frostfang Wolf raised its head and roared, its body enveloped in swirling ice and snow.

Under the control of the two long fangs, ice and snow continuously condensed, forming three phantom clones in the shape of white wolves, which surrounded him.

The next second, the Frostfang Wolf released power from its spring-like contracted spine.

A fleeting shadow remained in place.

The massive white wolf lunged forward at breakneck speed.

Three phantom clones followed closely behind, crashing into the mountain surface and exploding into a surging storm of ice blades that sliced ​​through the rocks.

With the blessing of the spiritual contract, the power projection runes and the fangs' ability to condense ice and snow are combined.

It transforms into a sword aura resembling a white wolf, a talent skill called Phantom Wolf Strike.

After the test was completed, Frostfang Wolf ran back excitedly.

"With the blessing of three extraordinary talents and the perfected power of two runes within you, you are now extraordinary."

Linde rubbed Frostfang Wolf's head, expressing his anticipation for its future.

None of the monsters that can reach the extraordinary realm are easy to mess with.

Even so, without a special bloodline, they can usually only comprehend one or two talents.

Compared to wild monsters, Frostfang Wolves have a unique advantage.

Although it was born as an ordinary wolfhound, its potential was enhanced after forming a spiritual contract with Lind.

They also received the blessing of the Power Projection Rune.

At this moment, the creature's level has reached lv12, which is higher than Lind and William.

In the future, as the body grows, even if it eats and sleeps all day without doing any exercise, it can still reach the level of the King of White Bears.

That is, level 14, just one step away from stepping into the advanced transcendent realm.

Of course, creature level and combat level are two different things.

Like Linde, even if he obtains the wolf's physique, his knight level is only lv10, barely stepping into the extraordinary realm.

But if you really provoke him, with the wizard's control over magic, he can unleash the full power of the sun's fire and instantly transform into a fireball.

Within a radius of twenty meters, all matter is sublimated, and anyone who comes will perish along with it.

As for the Frostfang Wolf, it has improved its skills considerably during this time hunting in the valley.

However, there is still a long way to go before I can completely control this body.

Right now, he can only fight William to a standstill without the Wolf King Greatsword, so his combat level can be considered to have reached the basic standard of the extraordinary.

It wouldn't be so humiliating as to be beaten down by elite knights like Wayne.

All I can say is that the future looks promising.

Exhausted from a long day, Frostfang Wolf rolled around and played around Linde for a while before obediently returning to its den to sleep.

Tonight, Linde also did not spend the night in the lab, which was a rare occurrence for him.

He ate enough bear meat and magic liquid, then lay in bed, quietly feeling the growth of every cell in his body.

The strengthening of the wolf's physique lasted for five days.

During this process, Linde's body underwent a second growth spurt.

His height increased from 1.75 meters to 1.8 meters.

Her eyes, already as blue as sapphires, shone with an icy blue radiance in the night, deep and captivating.

The golden hair, representing the sunflower, remained the same color, but its length reached shoulder length, making it even more striking.

The changes in my body are very obvious.

Fortunately, it's just a simple power boost and doesn't affect Lind's ability to use runes of different attributes.

That morning.

As usual, he inspected the various parts of the estate for development.

With the resources provided by sawmills and cement plants, houses were built one after another in the production area.

Since they are the simplest single-story houses, the first batch of one hundred houses will be completed in another half month.

More than 400 advanced sunflowers in the magic field are blooming in competition, providing a continuous source of power for the development of the manor.

Steel flakes are continuously being delivered from the iron ore mining station.

The blacksmith's furnace was lit, and the heavy armor of the Shield Guard Battalion entered the forging stage.

The leather armor workshop has already completed more than half of the bearskin armor production.

In the infantry training ground.

The shield-spearmen are undergoing training to adapt to their new equipment.

Linde came to observe and saw the soldiers, with the help of their comrades, putting on elaborate bearskin armor to cover themselves.

Then, the newly delivered steel breastplate, arm armor, and leg armor were put on over them.

Unlike the plate armor of knights, the heavy armor of infantry was relatively simple, lacking properly fitted steel gloves and joint protection.

This greatly simplifies their manufacturing process.

However, it is easy to expose weaknesses in battle, and the blade can easily pierce through the gaps.

The bearskin armor inside perfectly solves this problem.

Wear bearskin gloves, boots, and a hat, complete with the upright mane on the hat.

These soldiers seemed to have transformed into armored bear-men, their heavy steps awe-inspiring.

"Forward! Slam them in!"

"The Shield Guard's battalion commander, Jade, roared."

Two fully armed infantrymen, shield in hand, charged and crashed into the training wagon in front of them.

At the moment of impact, the shields in their hands made a dull thud.

The wooden spikes protruding from the surface of the carriage broke upon contact with the shields and heavy armor.

The outermost wooden board is concave inward, and wood chips are flying everywhere.

"Very good, keep this momentum! Don't be afraid of the enemy's raised weapons! Those broken copper and iron spikes can't pierce your defenses."

With a beaming smile, Judd lectured, "You only need to remember two things: line up and advance, then wipe out the enemy! It's that simple!"

Continuous desensitization training will make infantrymen no longer afraid of sharp weapons.

Seeing the overwhelming momentum of these heavily armed infantrymen in formation, Judd's expression became even more excited.

Five days later, all the infantrymen of the Shield Guard Battalion completed their equipment replacement.

The once terrifying Ice Demon will become insignificant and no longer pose a threat!

"How's the training going?"

Linde came to his side and asked.

"Excellent! These soldiers, tempered by real combat, nourished by the Bear King's meat, and armed with their new armor, are now more elite than even the most renowned Radiant Legion of Windcliff City!"

"Apart from being a little small, they have no flaws!" Judd exclaimed excitedly.

As Judd said, the infantry before them had reached the limit that a normal legion could require.

Even within the great noble families of the southern part of the kingdom, they would be considered an absolutely elite force.

As for the fact that it is too small, once the harsh winter in the North is over, the manor will see an expansion in population the following spring.

By then, this will no longer be a problem.

Judd said, "Sir, the soldiers need a new title, a glorious name that can represent the Sunflower and the Shield Guard."

With the improvement of their strength, the term "shield and spearman" is no longer appropriate to refer to them as infantry.

Linde knew this was necessary.

The new title will greatly enhance soldiers' cohesion and sense of honor.

It is a symbol of their estate's status and deserves attention.

Linde looked at the soldiers' new look, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"The harsh winter and the ice demons cannot break the warriors' unwavering will. From this moment on, the Shield Guard will be reborn."

"'Bear Mane Iron Guard,' remember this name."

The soldiers gathered around, and after receiving names from their lord, they gripped their weapons and proudly puffed out their chests.
